Chapter 516 The Momentum of Strength, the Situation of Crisis

In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang took Yingtianfu (Nanjing) as the Beijing teacher, the country name Daming, the year name "Hongwu", and Zhu Yuanzhang was called the emperor. After the www.biquge.info of the "Qu" pavilion, the Northern Expedition with the slogan of "Expelling Hulu and Restoring China" captured Dadu (Beijing), and Emperor Yuan Shun fled north, completely ending the Mongol rule in the Central Plains, and China returned to the rule of the dynasty established by the Han people.

In 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the year name "Jianwen", that is, Ming Huizong, after Zhu Di in the name of "Qing Jun side, Jing Nei difficult" to raise troops, led the army south, captured Nanjing, known as the "Battle of Jing Yan", Huizong in the palace fire whereabouts unknown, Zhu Di ascended the throne, changed the Yuan "Yongle", the establishment of the East Factory.

After the death of Zhu Di, his eldest son Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, that is, Ming Renzong, the year name "Hongxi", after the death of Renzong, his eldest son Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, for Ming Xuanzong, the year name "Xuande", the two emperors ruled the country with virtue, the national strength was strong, and the history was called "the rule of Renxuan".

During the Xuanzong period, an inner study hall was set up to teach eunuchs to read, which laid hidden dangers for the eunuchs to be chaotic in the future.

In 1435, Zhu Qizhen, who was only nine years old, succeeded to the throne, that is, Ming Yingzong, the year name "orthodox", at this time the eunuch Wang Zhen began to interfere in the government affairs, dictatorial and domineering, he left the Ming Taizu to prohibit eunuchs from interfering in politics The iron card was removed, and the court called him "Weng Father".

During the period of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Wara in the western part of Mongolia gradually became stronger and more often Koubian, in 1449 under the instigation of Wang Zhen, Yingzong gathered 200,000 Beijing battalions to drive the expedition, this is the famous "Battle of Tumubao" in the Ming Dynasty, Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was captured, and Wang Zhen was killed by the general Fan Zhong, which is known as the turning point of the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline in history.

Then Yu Qian, the squire of the military department, supported Dai Yingzong's younger brother Zhu Qiyu to the throne, that is, the Ming Dynasty, the year name "Jingtai", Yu Qian tried to disagree with the public and refused to sue for peace, and commanded the army to repel Wara, after Wara retreated, put back the captured Ming Yingzong, the two emperors launched a battle for the throne, Ming Yingzong launched a "change to seize the door" with the help of his cronies to regain the throne.

In 1464, Yingzong died, Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, that is, Ming Xianzong, the year name "Chenghua", Chenghua Emperor was introverted by stuttering, so he rarely saw ministers in the court, favored the eunuchs Wang Zhi, Liang Fang and others, and set up the West Factory, the West Factory was rampant and corrupted, resulting in the people's misery.

In 1487, Ming Xianzong died, his son Zhu Youzhi succeeded to the throne, that is, Ming Xiaozong, the year name "Hongzhi", Ming Xiaozong was diligent in political affairs, strict moderation of eunuchs, and practiced frugality, did not build much construction, reduced taxes, and was politically clear during the Hongzhi Dynasty, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, known as "Hongzhi Zhongxing" in history.

In 1505, overwork, a generation of Ming Jun Xiaozong died, at this time Xiaozong's son Zhu Houzhao (i.e., Ming Wuzong, Zhengde Emperor) was only fifteen years old to ascend the throne.

Before Xiaozong's death, he was afraid that Zhu Houzhao was young, easy to be manipulated by traitors, unable to preside over the government, and did not know how to distinguish between loyalty and traitor, so he specially ordered his younger brother Zhu to ignore the establishment of "Dragon Guardian Villa", whose power can override all court institutions, and give "Danshu Iron Coupons" and "Shangfang Sword", which can "behead the faint monarch and behead the slanderous ministers", and check and balance each other with the highest secret service agency Dongchang.

The two characteristic institutions of the Ming Dynasty, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, both directly obeyed the emperor's orders, when Ming Xiaozong was in power, the eunuchs were strictly controlled, Dongchang and Jinyiwei no longer dared to act arbitrarily, but Xiaozong died, Emperor Zhengde was young, Hulong Villa was newly built, and the power of Dongchang gradually increased.

Cao Zhengchun, the chief eunuch of Dongchang, was good at observing words and feelings, pleasing Emperor Zhengde, and gradually became a celebrity around the emperor, controlling the power of Dongchang and tilting towards the government and the opposition.

As for the West Factory, it was originally a new inner court institution established during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, and the rights even exceeded the East Factory, but it was removed after only a few months, and after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, with the support of the Queen Mother, the West Factory was reopened and the eunuch Liu Xi was in charge of the West Factory.

Liu Xi was the playmate of Emperor Zhengde, and the two were a typical story between an ancient Chinese eunuch and an emperor.

The little eunuch and the little emperor grew up together, the two were like brothers, after the little emperor grew up, in order to control the government, he must cultivate his cronies, and at this time he can believe and believe the most is the little eunuch who grew up with him, and because of the emperor's trust, the little eunuch gradually took power and slowly became a big eunuch.

This has formed a situation in the court of the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Dragon Villa, and I have to say that Xiaozong and Empress Xiaokangjing (Xiaozong's wife, now the Queen Mother) are indeed good at playing power, and the three institutions stand together, and no one can dominate.

Among them, the East Plant has the longest existence and the thickest heritage, and the East Plant is the most powerful among the three institutions; Dragon Guardian Villa, Zhu ignored the Dragon Protector Villa established by virtue of his connections and royal resources in his early years, although the time is short, but the power cannot be underestimated, ranking second.

Although Liu Xi, the governor of Xichang, has won the trust of the emperor, after all, Liu Xi is young (compared to Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Ignore), and he used to stay in the deep palace with the emperor all the year round, whether it is connections, resources or knowledge, he is not as good as the veteran eunuch Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Ignorance, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so the power of Xichang is the worst.

As for the Jinyi Guard, although it still exists, it is still controlled by the emperor, but the sense of existence is very poor, and it is almost forgotten.

The sword rain plane is also the Ming Dynasty, but unlike the sword rain plane, this plane did not happen Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned up the martial arts, so now the inheritance of the martial arts is still there, the martial arts are surging, and there are many masters.

These three institutions not only control the power of the imperial court, but also involve the rivers and lakes, and have received many masters of the Jianghu sect for their use, but these three forces are not the imperial court institutions that really manage the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court institutions that really manage the rivers and lakes are the six gates.

Six doors since the Song Dynasty has existed, the original purpose of the establishment is not involved in the government, just to deal with the rivers and lakes and civil cases, but with the passage of time, this purpose wants to maintain, it is becoming more and more difficult, now the three forces want to annex the six doors, after all, the six doors have a transcendent status in the rivers and lakes, and there is also an intelligence network all over the world's martial arts.

In the rivers and lakes, the major forces are getting bigger, constantly threatening the transcendent status of the six gates, and there are three major forces infiltrating the inside, which can be called internal and external troubles.

To add insult to injury, the former head catcher of the six doors, Wu Weiyang, died tragically at the hands of gangsters three days ago, but the perpetrator was strong in martial arts and cautious, except for a fingerprint on his chest that shattered his heart, he did not leave any clues.

The snake can't be headless, and the top priority now is to elect the new chief catcher of the six doors, and Chen Kan is one of the candidates.
