Last time we talked about how Hakka, the "nanny" of Ming Xizong, colluded with Wei Zhongxian, controlled the government, suppressed dissidents, and made the court a mess.

"Wei Zhongxian" was originally named "Li Jinzhong". Because he was a gambler and could not afford to pay back the money he lost, he angrily committed suicide in public and was selected as a eunuch in the palace during the Wanli period.

Although Wei Zhongxian was illiterate, he was good at flattery. He not only attached himself to the eunuch Wei Chao and recognized him as his "godfather", but also became a disciple of the eunuch Wang An through the Wei Chao. Wang An had merit for supporting the emperor Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi.

, for a time he had great authority in the palace and had become the general manager of the harem.

"Wei Zhongxian" took the initiative to make friends with the "Hakka". On the one hand, both parties had a natural political enemy, the "Donglin Party". On the other hand, the two had the same political aspirations, that is, "the same goal", and they both wanted to be able to influence the imperial power. Therefore,

According to the convention of "matching men and women so that they can work without getting tired", it is natural for them to have a "food-for-food" relationship.

The "Hakka" loved Wei Zhongxian because she was young, handsome and energetic. The key was that she spoke well and could make herself happy, so she got tired of the "old friend" Wei Chao. Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to use his strength to defeat the Wei Chao, and soon he and the Hakka

Together they conspired to kill Wang An and became the most powerful eunuch in the palace.

The "Hakka" family is even more afraid that the emperor's concubine will give birth to a prince, which will cause them to lose the favor of the "nursing emperor", because everyone knows that the mother is more valuable than the son.

If the queen and concubines can save princes for the emperor, they will definitely be favored by the "nursing emperor" Ming Xizong, which will make the "Nannian" Hakka fall out of favor. Therefore, the "Hakka" uses various vicious methods to kill and suppress the concubines

With the prince, Zhu Youxiao gave birth to many princes, but none of them could grow up.

Zhu Ciran, the eldest son of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was posthumously named Prince Huaichong. In the third year of Tianqi (1623 AD), Empress Zhang was pregnant, that is, Prince Huaichong Zhu Ciran. At that time, Empress Zhang suddenly suffered from low back pain after several months of pregnancy, so she wanted to find a wife.

The massage was done by palace maids who knew how to massage or people from outside the palace. This was the idea of ​​the "Hakka", and it happened to be used by Wei Zhongxian, so he asked the masseur to cause Empress Zhang to abort a stillbirth. After that, Empress Zhang could not give birth to another child.

Have children.

The second son of Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ciyan, was born to the "Huifei" Fan family, and he died before he was one year old. His third son, Zhu Cijiong, was born to the "Rongfei" Ren family, and he also died before he was one year old. In fact,

These cruel things are the masterpiece of sincere cooperation between "Wei Zhongxian" and "Hakka", just because of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Before the "Royal Dead Infant" incident could come to light, an even more terrifying and incredible thing happened, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

In May of the sixth year of Apocalypse (1626 AD), a strange and huge catastrophe occurred in the Wang Gongchang area of ​​the capital, causing huge casualties, which was also the mysterious "Apocalypse Explosion". The cause of this incident is still divided.

Or it could be a gunpowder explosion in the armory, or it could be a meteorite falling from the sky...

At that time, there was a loud noise, a violent wind suddenly rose, the sky was dark, and the sky was dark. People, animals, trees, bricks, etc. were swept into the air and fell with the wind. Tens of thousands of houses were turned to dust, and more than 20,000 people were killed and injured on the spot. The whole process was shocking.

The scene of the disaster was shocking, as if it was controlled by a mysterious force.

After the disaster, everyone, male, female, old, and young, was naked. Their clothes, jewelry, utensils, etc. all automatically floated to the Western Mountain. Even the three thousand craftsmen who were repairing the wall outside the Forbidden City all fell off the scaffolding and were smashed into flesh.

Bag. A three-mile radius from the center of the explosion was the hardest hit area, and there were basically no survivors.

At that time, Emperor Tianqi, who was having breakfast, escaped the disaster by hiding under the dragon bookcase. Most of the royal guards, eunuchs, and maids accompanying the emperor were directly killed or injured by high-altitude projectiles. However, the strange thing is that The center of such a strong explosion "did not burn an inch of wood, and showed no trace of burning."

Even if a catastrophe was caused by a gunpowder magazine explosion or an earthquake, it would be difficult to answer it. A meteorite impact would be justifiable, but no evidence of meteorite remains was found afterwards. At this time, the people were panicked, opinions were divided, and people were angry. Emperor Zhu Youxiao had to commit "crime" "Ji Zhao", granting amnesty to the world.

In the first year of this strange big explosion, that is, on May 18th in the fifth year of Tianqi (1625 AD), Emperor Xi Zong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao, accompanied by his "nanny" Hakka, Wei Zhongxian and others, went for a boat ride in Xiyuan. , but he did not expect that the subsequent shipwreck would become the "prelude" to his untimely death.

Zhu Youxiao was drinking and having sex with Wang Ti on the big boat in the shallow water north of the bridge. Wei Zhongxian and two close eunuchs went to the deep water to take a boat ride, but a sudden gust of wind overturned the boat. They accidentally fell into the water and were almost drowned. He died, but fortunately he was rescued, but the young eunuch on the same ship died short.

Although he was rescued quickly, after this fright, Zhu Youxiao fell into the root of the disease. Not only did he suffer from severe impotence and completely lose his fertility, but after many treatments failed, his body deteriorated, and in the next day. He has been bedridden for more than a year, slowly waiting to die.

The following year, "Shang Shu" Huo Weihua presented a "miracle medicine" called Linglu Drink, saying that after taking it, it would achieve immediate results, improve health and longevity. So Zhu Youxiao drank it as he was told, and it was indeed sweet and delicious, so he took it every day. However, after drinking it for several months, he developed bloating disease and gradually became edematous all over his body and became bedridden.

In August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627 AD), Zhu Youxiao summoned the cabinet ministers and ministers at the "Qianqing Palace" and issued an edict saying that Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian were loyal to the emperor and could be used to discuss national affairs. He also made an exception and named Wei Liangdong, Wei Zhongxian's nephew, as "Dongan Hou".

In the past two years since he fell into the water, Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao has been taking various "elixirs" refined by "evil Taoists", but he did not know that the "elixirs" he took every day contained many heavy metals such as lead and mercury. Those charlatans and sorcerers The "elixir" was refined with "cinnabar", "mica", girl essence and blood, etc. and was given to the Ming Xizong for continued consumption.

Zhu Youjian, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was like most feudal emperors in history who believed in "immortality". He had no doubts about the "miracle medicine" and would not refuse anyone who came.

However, after having a premonition that his days were not long, Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, summoned his fifth brother Xin Wang Zhu Youjian into his bedroom and said: "Come, my brother will be Yao and Shun." He ordered him to succeed to the throne. The next day, he summoned the cabinet. Minister Huang Liji said: "I summoned King Xin yesterday. I am very happy and my body feels a little better."

On August 11th of the same year, Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, passed away in the "Qianqing Palace" and reigned for seven years. His half-brother "Xinwang" Zhu Youjian immediately ascended the throne on August 24th. The reign name "Chongzhen" is the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty - "Ming Sizong", the "Chongzhen Emperor" who was hanged from a tree in Meishan.

After Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, he immediately issued an edict to banish the eunuch "Wei Zhongxian" and the "Hakka family". Wei Zhongxian was forced to commit suicide after his power and property were taken away. Zhao Benqi, the "Qianqing Palace" brand, was ordered to whip the "Hakka family" to death In the Huanyi Bureau, the body was burned in the "Jing Le Hall" to spread the ashes, in order to wash away the shame brought to the royal family.

The son of "Hakka", "Hou Guoxing", his younger brother "Ke Guangxian" and Wei Zhongxian's nephew "Wei Liangqing" were beheaded in public on the same day. Since Ming Sizong Zhu Youjian always had people from the "Donglin Party" making suggestions behind him, so

The collapse of the "Eunuch Party" Wei Zhongxian Group marked the victory of the "Donglin Party" in the power struggle.

Although this historical event has not yet occurred in the current time and space, it has occurred in other parallel universes. Therefore, what Carpenter has to do is not to prevent the event from happening, because the historical process cannot be changed, and he can only find ways to control time as much as possible.

The bureau is used by me in order to vigorously develop "Lubanmen".
