Chapter 29 Forcing Chongzhen to Death

Faced with Wang Xuejun's conclusion, Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then yelled hysterically: "No, I don't blame me for the demise of the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Xuejun looked at him coldly.

"I ascended the throne when I was young and eradicated the eunuch party that harmed the country and the people in one fell swoop."

"This is the beginning of your failure."

"I am following the will of the people in the world. How could it be the beginning of failure?"

"The Ming Dynasty's finances collapsed, and only Wei Zhongxian was working diligently to support them. Only when he had no money did he not think about reaching out to the people, but like those parasites parasites parasites parasites that would support the Ming Dynasty's finances not to collapse."

"He embezzled and accepted bribes and formed a clique for personal gain. Shouldn't he die?"

"He embezzled and accepted bribes, but what he greedyed is the filial piety of corrupt officials. He cultivated private power, but look at the people he trained, which one is not a practical person?"

"He exploited the gentry with great sin. Shouldn't he die?"

"But in the years when he was in power, the military pay in western Liaoning was met, and the soldiers of the border army could get half of the military pay, money and food. Local garrisons could barely make a living."

He looked at him contemptuously: "What about after you came to power? The border troops were poor and poor, and the garrisons were hungry and cold. The army in western Liaoning could not get enough money and food, and mutinyed several times. The high and the inferior were judged."

"He is cruel to loyal and kindness. Shouldn't he die?"

"The so-called loyal and kindness he abused are all those misunderstanding bastards who talk big and only steal the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the interests of the class behind them."

"He killed countless people."

"Do you rely on to kill fewer people than him? Not only are there many, but they are several times or dozens of times."

"He bewitched the emperor from ignoring the government."

Wang Xuejun sneered: "Emperor Tianqi is your brother. Don't you know your brother's character? Was it Wei Zhongxian bewitched your brother's disregard for the government, or was Wei Zhongxian struggling to support it when your brother ignored the government?"

After this rebellious question, Chongzhen immediately became speechless.

I know best what kind of person my brother is.

In fact, Wang Xuejun did not overturn the case for Wei Zhongxian.

Under the background that was like that, if Chongzhen could not defeat the eunuch party group that had been resentful, his throne would not be stable and his prestige would not be established quickly.

In that case, an eighteen-year-old baby emperor would be despised by many ministers.

Wang Xuejun hated that Wei Zhongxian could be killed, but many of Wei Zhongxian's policies to relieve the heavy taxes of the lowest-class people were not continued by Chongzhen.

Instead, he blindly trusted the so-called gentleman in the Donglin Party to govern the country and defeated Wei Zhongxian's policies, whether good or bad.

"But I have worked diligently and saved money over the years."

"I don't know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. I just endure hardships by myself. It is still a virtue of diligence and thrift for a small family, but it can play a role in this big country?"

"I have always been kind to the people and reduce the burden on them?"

"Stop talking." Wang Xuejun roared angrily.

"Who are you talking about reducing the burden on the people? They are those gentry officials with deep backgrounds, those rich merchants and gentry officials who depend on the gentry officials. And you have been repeatedly exploiting those people at the bottom of the country, such as Liao pay, suppressing and exercising the money, increasing the amount of money, and forcing the people to go desperately. This is why today. The people who have no way out in the world have now entered the imperial city, and they want to ask you for an explanation."

"That's all the fault of all the officials, and it's all the officials who mislead me."

"All officials misled you? You are so embarrassed to say it."

Chongzhen opened his mouth to argue.

"You don't use your strengths to use people. You are just picky and mean. If you make any mistakes in all officials, you will be punished at the least, and you will be beheaded at the worst. When you get all officials to court, you must prepare a coffin at home to handle the funeral. Who dares to ask such an official and who is willing to do your best to do your job?"

I was speechless by these repeated questions.

"You only focus on Donglin, who can only talk about the country with big talk, and of course, without doing it. Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng, who are sincerely working for you. However, you regard villains Zhou Tingru, Wen Tiren, Qian Qianyi and others as your confidants. If you are so loyal and treacherous, who is willing to contribute to you?"

Chongzhen sat on the dragon throne with a depressed butt.

In fact, Wang Xuejun criticized Chongzhen for being mean at this time, but now he is also mean?

"Is this all my fault? Did the Ming Dynasty really perish?"

"This is what you are so flirtatious, suspicious, jealous, mean and ruthless, which leads to your betrayal, resentment in the world, and the defeat of the Ming Dynasty."

After hearing such mean comments, Chongzhen was speechless for a long time.

But when I saw the secret thought in the corner of my eyes, I suddenly raised my spirits: "You are here to save me. As long as I go out, I will definitely change my past and rebuild the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Xuejun shook his head firmly: "I can't let you go out again, because if you go out to reorganize the court, you will still do whatever you did."

"I don't know."

Wang Xuejun still shook his head: "That's not OK. In order to unite more people in the future, buy more people, and prepare to resist the Jiannu's invasion of the Central Plains, you must use your heroic death to restore your reputation for the original Ming Dynasty."

"But I can issue an edict to punish myself."

Chongzhen issued a six-time self-destruction, which was unique among the emperors of all dynasties in the world.

Wang Xuejun still shook his head: "The light and self-destruction can no longer restore the bad image of the Ming Dynasty in the hearts of the people."

"I will reflect on myself."

Wang Xuejun still shook his head: "The original Ming Dynasty is hopeless. You have been betrayed by everyone. Even if you go out, no one will support you, but will continue to resist you, including me. You can only do things worse."

Looking at Wang Xuejun's firm expression, Chongzhen was completely desperate.

"Did this Ming Dynasty really perish? Do I really want to apologize for my death?"

Wang Xuejun suddenly took a step forward and answered strongly: "The old Ming Dynasty was destroyed, but it does not mean that the disaster of the Han people will end. Jiannu was about to invade the Central Plains and expel the Tartars. If you can't complete it, Li Zicheng will be even more unlikely to do it. So I have decided to take the prince out of the palace and create another Ming Dynasty, shoulder the important task of expelling the Tartars and rebuilding China."

Then he looked at the decadent Chongzhen.

"In order to achieve such a goal, rebuild the iron-blooded position of the Ming Dynasty in the hearts of the people of the world, so you must die."

After these consecutive blows, Chongzhen was completely discouraged, but he still asked about it.

"Why must I die?"

Wang Xuejun said word by word: "The crimes and culprits of the Ming Dynasty, which are angry and resentful, must be borne by one person, and have an explanation to the people of the world. Your heroic act of a king who dies in the country will not only clear away all your original sins, but also revitalize the respect of the people of the world to the Ming Dynasty.

Only in this way can the heroes and people of the world unite around the Ming Dynasty represented by the prince and work together to expel the Tartars when Jiannu invaded the Central Plains."

When he heard that Wang Xuejun wanted to lead the prince to break through and build another Ming Dynasty instead of killing himself to be the emperor.
