After Zhu Youxiao bought some medicines, he suddenly felt that he should buy some books from the Ming Dynasty.

Since I became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the late Ming Dynasty, even for my own wealth and life and my future corrupt life, I have to have a deeper understanding of this dynasty.

At least I have to know why the Ming Dynasty perished seventeen years later, and I still have no time to save it. How to save it, and whether there is a solution.

Zhu Youxiao chose the "book" option. After entering the word "Ming Dynasty", in addition to the "What Things in the Ming Dynasty" he had read, he decisively bought a large number of books such as "Ming Dynasty Civil Official Selection System", "Late Ming Dynasty History", "Southern Ming Dynasty History", and "The Peasant Uprising in the Late Ming Dynasty", and he also included Yan Moumou's "Sixty Years of the Demise of the Ming Dynasty and the Rise of the Qing Dynasty".

Soon, the bookshelf next to his bed was filled with modern and contemporary Ming history books that had become thread-bound books.

After reading it for an afternoon, Zhu Youchao's understanding of the Ming Dynasty became more profound. Apart from the brainlessness of some people and books that deliberately boasted about the ethnic minority regime, Zhu Youchao found that the carpenter emperor did not seem to be so unbearable.

At least during the reign of this emperor, no major peasant uprising was initiated, and the wars outside the pass did not worsen.

But at the same time, this period was also a period when the Donglin Party was completely suppressed, and the eunuchs were dictatorial and the eunuchs were in power.

Zhu Youxiao gradually discovered that perhaps this so-called darkest period in late Ming history was only for the Donglin Party.

For the common people, whether eunuchs are in charge or civil servants are in charge, it has nothing to do with them, it is just a difference between carrying a hand and not carrying a hand.

Whoever can give them a peaceful world will be able to farm honestly, but don’t let him survive.

Zhu Youxiao recalled the life of the carpenter emperor who bent over and found that he did not add taxes to the people. Liao Xiang stopped in the 48th year of Wanli, and suppressing Xiang and practicing Xiang were the events during the Chongzhen period.

"It seems that this carpenter who was most ridiculed by his descendants was not a foolish king. Everything was just an unreasonable slander by the Donglin Party literati who defected to the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was actually destroyed by these selfish civil officials. The poor Emperor Chongzhen realized this problem until he died."

Just as Zhu Youxiao was feeling emotion, Wei Zhongxian walked in:

"Report to Your Majesty, Zheng Sanjun, the Minister of Taichang Temple, and his in-laws, Liu Mingren, the family of Liu Mingren, have been investigated. A total of 40,000 taels of gold and 137,000 taels of silver were collected, and countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings were countless, with a total estimated price of about 100,000 taels. The Xinwang Mansion has been surrounded and the Imperial Hospital has been controlled, but the Imperial Hospital has been sentenced to have committed suicide by taking poison."

"A third-rank Taichang Temple minister can retrieve more than 500,000 yuan of property. My Ming Dynasty officials are also rich enough (although the salary is not high). No wonder the Qing Dynasty emperors like to search homes so much. The Ming Dynasty's finances are so difficult. Is it because I am too kind to them?"

Zhu Youxiao said and asked again: "This Zheng Sanjun's family industry is not just in the capital, right?"

The Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the late Chongzhen period and the army did not obey the court's orders, so when the governors and governors were like separating the princes during the Hongguang period. Therefore, representatives of the imperial power such as the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang could still suppress all civil and military officials.

Moreover, after seven years of hard work by Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian, the emperor's dictatorship has been improved compared with the middle and late Wanli period.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wants to copy whoever his home and kill whoever he wants, basically all the following can execute it well.

Wei Zhongxian knew what the emperor meant and hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, the Inner Master has received a report from the Jinyiwei. The Zheng Sanjun family has been doing business for three generations and is now a famous wealthy man in Huizhou. It was not until his generation that he began the imperial examination. His family has definitely had a lot of wealth."

"Immediately, all the Zheng family's property was escorted to Beijing, all the land was charged to the imperial village, and the relatives of the three tribes of the Zheng family were also captured and used as tenant farmers!"

After Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, he issued such a strict order, and he wanted to show the ministers who had ill-intentioned intentions what would happen if they would go against Zhu Youxiao!

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but tremble. He knew that Zheng Sanjun must have touched the Emperor's rebellious scale. The so-called emperor was angry and buried a million corpses. Zheng Sanjun dared to murder the emperor. Not to mention raiding the house, it would not be an exaggeration to even exterminate the clan.

"yes!"

"For King Xin, I will issue an order to make a decree in the cabinet, so that King Xin must join the vassal state within ten days and is not allowed to stay in the capital!"

Zhu Youxiao did not make up his mind to kill Zhu Youjian in the end. He sympathized with his elder brother and had to consider that if he really lost to these ministers one day and had no descendants, he would be afraid that the Ming Dynasty would enter the Chongzhen era.

In that case, history will only be put into normal track.

"The Imperial Hospital's hospital sentenced to suicide. It seems that the power of the person instructing him behind the scenes should not be underestimated. It is necessary to find out clearly. From today on, the guards in the palace will be strengthened, especially in terms of drinking water, food, etc., and the palace maids and eunuchs must also be strictly managed!"

Zhu Youxiao sighed as he said that as a representative of the emerging businessman class, the Donglin Party's eagerness to participate in politics was an inevitable trend in social development in the late Ming Dynasty. It is better to be distracted than to block it. It is true that many of their political ideas are contrary to national interests, but in order to maintain the basic stability of the country and in the current situation of internal and external troubles, they may have compromised. Otherwise, if the relationship between the monarch and the minister has been in a state of tension, I am afraid that no matter how much I am prepared, I will not be able to ensure that these civil servants will come to murder again.

"Transfer my decree and go to court tomorrow! In addition, the cabinet will draw another decree to restore the position of Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion of Sun Chengzong and Minister of War, and be granted the title of Prince's Grand Tutor, and order him to come to Beijing immediately to meet!"

Sun Chengzong was a moderate member of the Donglin Party. He also served as his lecturer in the lecture hall and was considered his teacher. In addition, he was honest and capable, and was reasonable. It was reasonable to restore his official position. It was also a favorable message to appease the moderate member of the Donglin Party.

However, Zhu Youxiao's series of orders made Wei Zhongxian, who had always regarded the Donglin Party as his mortal enemy, unable to understand, and even worried that Sun Chengzong was a member of the Donglin Party. The emperor suddenly restored Sun Chengzong's position and promoted his title. Could it be that the emperor intends to compromise with the Donglin Party? Perhaps it is just because of the relationship between teachers and students, that the emperor is still unwilling to let his teacher be exiled to the village?

The emperor's heart was unpredictable, but as the eunuch of the ritual supervisor, Wei Zhongxian was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet in the outer court, and was considered the chief figure of the eunuch party. Since he was with Zhu Youxiao, he had to ask questions, and at least he had to give some eye medicine to Sun Chengzong of the Donglin Party.

So, he boldly risked the anger of Long Yan and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty misses his old love, but he is a great filial son, but Sun Zhisheng (Sun Chengzong's name is Zhisheng) has no right to be loyal to the emperor. In his eyes, there is only their Donglin party, so please think twice about the recall of Sun Zhisheng."

"I have decided, so there is no need to say much. Mr. Sun is not Yang Lian!"

Zhu Youxiao knew that the disaster of the late Ming Party and the Counterattack was very serious, and he was also very clear about the deliberately exclusion of the Donglin Party by Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs. However, he could not completely abandon the Donglin Party just because he needed important eunuchs who were in line with his own interests.
