The war horse that Li Xiake stolen from the bandits had been shot and killed by the officers and soldiers of Cao Shaoqin. At this time, the mounts of Cao Shaoqin were riding were extremely fast, but even so, it was not only one day since Li Xiake arrived in Beijing, but it was already five days after he fought with Cao Shaoqin.

After he arrived in Beijing, he didn't say much, so he found a place to live, and asked about the situation in the capital in the restaurant and the streets and alleys.

But now the capital is in a panic, and it is almost impossible to find out any useful news if you want to inquire about the court on the streets.

Li Xiake was a little impatient and entered an official's house that night. The long sword was crossed around the official's neck. After asking for a long time, he finally got a little understanding of the current court.

It turned out that it was no longer the Jingtai period that Li Xiake remembered, but the reign of Emperor Yingzong and Zhu Qizhen regained power.

When the Orai attacked the border, the emperor Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the clan, listened to the slander of the eunuch Wang Zhen, and led his army to the army to personally fight. As a result, he was defeated by Yesen and captured to the northern border. The eunuch Wang Zhen was hammered to death by the general Fan Zhong.

After Emperor Yingzong was captured, Yu Qian and others in the capital supported Zhu Qizhen's younger brother Zhu Qiyu, and later became emperor, and changed his lunar name to Jingtai, and Zhu Qiyu was Emperor Jing.

After Yexian kidnapped Emperor Yingzong, he originally wanted to blackmail a large amount of things in the Ming Dynasty, but before the conditions were proposed, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was established. Yingzong Zhu Qiyu suddenly became a useless thing, and it was a pity to abandon it. Later, through negotiations with the old ministers of Emperor Yingzong, Zhu Qizhen was returned to the Ming Dynasty.

It would be fine if Zhu Qizhen didn't come. As a result, the Ming Dynasty officials were very embarrassed. I don't know if it was better to let Zhu Qiyu be the emperor or to let Zhu Qizhen be the emperor. Later, I discussed it and felt that Zhu Qiyu was now the emperor. In addition, Zhu Qizhen's misconduct made a big mistake in the Tumu Fort, and the country could not be replaced easily. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu's emperor continued to be in front of him. Zhu Qizhen was called the Supreme Emperor and was suffering in the cold palace.

Later, Xu Youzhen and others attacked the sect change, welcomed Emperor Yingzong back, imprisoned Emperor Jing, and Yingzong re-placed the throne.

Looking at the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there was almost no good thing since Zhu Di. The ministers deposed and established the Emperor, the emperor killed ministers indiscriminately, and the emperor made trouble, and the ministers followed suit. As long as they could ensure that they were a vested interest group, they would be.

Let go of other things, just as the emperor, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were several levels away from the Qing Dynasty, and they were not even worthy of carrying shoes to the Qing Dynasty emperors.

Just talking about the Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, after his return, he did not learn from his lessons and continued to value eunuchs and suppress all his ministers. The minister Yu Qian was executed by him. This man destroyed the Great Wall, short-sighted, killed Yu Qian, and rehabilitated Wang Zhen. He favored all kinds of bastards, but he did not favor the real pillar ministers, which was really foolish.

At this time, Cao Shaoqin, the eunuch of the East Factory, was favored by him and ordered him to take charge of the East Factory, supervise all officials, and have the ability to be authoritarian. Therefore, Cao Shaoqin was so domineering that even Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of War, dared to kill him.

Li Xiake arrested several officials in a row and asked them continuously for several days. In addition, some of the historical knowledge he had known before, he had already gained some understanding of the current situation in the court.

The history of this world is different from the real history, and it is not very similar. In history, the eunuch Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen and others conspired to seize the sect, but in this world, it became Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Jixiang was unbearable in history. Now Cao Shaoqin is not a good person. Although he has done some things in charge of the East Factory, he has no choice but to monopolize the power of the country.

Although Cao Shaoqin is a little better than Wang Zhen, it is not much better. Moreover, all signs indicate that he actually has the intention of conspiring to usurp the throne and become the emperor, which is a bit incredible. It is really incredible that an eunuch actually wants to be the emperor. But since he has this idea, it can be seen that he should be somewhat sure, but this also shows that few people in the entire Ming Dynasty can compete with Cao Shaoqin.

"Hehe, a eunuch wants to be an emperor, am I crazy, or is this world crazy?"

After summarizing all the news, Li Xiake became more and more coquettish as he thought about it. He couldn't help laughing: "Cao Shaoqin is also a character, how could he be so unwise? But if this idea is changed, it is actually quite good. Tsk tsk, I suddenly had a bold idea!"

After sorting out the affairs of this world in all aspects, he had a rough understanding of Cao Shaoqin and all the officials in the court.

Among the officials in the Ming Dynasty, the ten of them were all talkative and the most capable of talking big. In fact, they were all nonsense in terms of character and ability. However, there were also people who could do practical things, but after all, not many of them were all lower-level officials. The higher the official, the more they were, the more they seemed to be fucked.

As vested interest groups, especially Jiangnan interest groups, almost none of these civil servants have clean butts. Many people are still full of nostalgia for the Yuan Dynasty, because the Yuan Dynasty "takes the lightest people" and has the lowest taxes. The legal status of tenants in the Yuan Dynasty is regarded as slaves, and landlords have the right to live and kill tenants at the legal level. Beating the tenants to death is only considered privately slaughtering cattle and horses, and even a donkey does not have to be compensated.

This is the unprecedented privileges and preferential treatment obtained by the Chinese landlord class after Shang Yang's reforms.

In other words, the Han landlords of the Yuan Dynasty were the most brutal exploiters faced by the Chinese people after the Shang Dynasty. It was strange that these exploiters did not miss the previous dynasty after being deprived of their privileges. It was not until the Ming Dynasty continued to rule for a hundred years that this thought gradually faded.

This is just like the modern day in Li Xiake's previous life. There are still many scholars who miss the Republic of China and keep advocating the Republic of China era. The butt determines the head, and everything is due to interests.

Now, because Zhu Yuanzhang "never increases taxes" for scholars in the world, but has no mercy on those who are not scholars, the people are living in poverty. In order to avoid taxes, many farmers in the world sell themselves to the scholars' homes and prefer to be slaves, which leads to more and more serious land annexation.

The scholars, on the contrary, had less and less nostalgic for the Yuan Dynasty and more and more recognized the dynasty, but they were more careful in protecting their own interests. The emperor and scholars ruled the world, and the holy emperor ruled with great support, which was brought to the extreme in this dynasty.

Although there was no Donglin Party at this time, the interests of the Jiangnan Civil Affairs Group were getting closer and closer, and there was already a sense of being in common with some things.

After knowing the general situation, Li Xiake had some idea: "Zhu Qizhen is not a good person, and he has to find a way to kill him, but now, Cao Shaoqin is not a good person, so he should be killed. But if he dies at this time, the court officials will not be able to do anything without checks and balances. I have long been disagreeable with the monarch and ministers of the Ming Dynasty. This time I have to play with my temperament. If I do, I will run to Mongolia and kill the leaders of the grassland, so that they can also mess with them. If they cannot play with it, maybe they can't establish a new force. Hehe, I'm really a little excited to think about it."
