Wei Zhongxian's conspiracy and tragic end
Wei Zhongxian, a name that has shone in history for ten years, is the youngest superintendent of the imperial history of Dongchang, the number one die-hard fan of the eunuch party, and the beginning of the Dongchang party's control of the government.
What did Wei Zhongxian rely on to get to the top? It's a matter of scheming!
However, in the big chess game of scheming, he showed stupidity and selfishness.
His defeat and tragic end reflect the unpredictability and brutality of power struggles.
Zhu Youzhen's counterattack and the report of the civil servants
Zhu Youzhen took the position of first assistant, and Wei Zhongxian began to retreat to the East Factory.
This year, the generals of the Ming Dynasty reported Wei Zhongxian one after another, and Qian Jiazheng of Guozijian even listed the top ten crimes, demanding the extermination of Wei Zhongxian's nine clans.
After Wei Zhongxian took power, he excluded dissidents, and the Donglin Party became street rats, and no one dared to oppose Wenchen.
At that time, there was a Li Jingxun who wrote against Wei Zhongxian, but Wei Zhongxian was angry and seized his house.
Zhu Youzhen and Wei Zhongxian's scheming game
Wei Zhongxian once tried to find out Zhu Youzhen's attitude towards him, if he could, he wanted to resign and return to his hometown to find out where Zhu Youzhen's bottom line was.
It is also rumored that he is preparing to resign after a year in the East Factory so that he can avoid impeachment by his appointees.
He did not resign, let alone return to his hometown, but moved to a more important position.
This year, Zhu Youzhen seized the initiative.
Zhu Youzhen's decision and the stability of the Ming court
Zhu Youzhen held a very important official position at a very young age, and he showed a certain degree of determination and wisdom in dealing with the issue of eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian.
He rejected Mr. Wei's request to resign.
Wei Zhongxian thought that he had not been denied, and thought that he could continue to monopolize power.
Zhu Youzhen hinted at Wei Zhongxian a very important message through this move: Zhu Youxiao trusts you!
Because at that time, Zhu Youxiao had already revealed that he did not want to leave the prince.
22-year-old Zhu Youxiao is in good health, why did he accidentally fall into the water while rowing and couldn't get out of danger after falling overboard?
Many people believe that this is the result of the replacement of the crown prince Zhu Youxiao.
In order to let Wei Zhongxian temporarily let down his guard, Zhu Youzhen also deliberately found him to talk.
Wei Zhongxian's struggle and Zhu Youzhen's resoluteness
At the beginning of May, Wei Zhongxian talked with Zhu Youzhen, and the two talked and laughed.
At this time, someone had already replaced Wei Zhongxian in the East Factory, which meant that Wei Zhongxian could already resign and return to his hometown.
But just as he was about to pack his luggage and leave Beijing, Zhu Youxiao suddenly became seriously ill.
This caught Wei Zhongxian off guard, and he opened the secret letter to discuss countermeasures with the Dongchang gang.
Dongchang Wangfu did not respond, and just when Wei Zhongxian was anxious, the 22-year-old protagonist of Dongchang, Zhu Youxiao, died.
Before Zhu Youxiao died, he took the 22-year-old Zhu Youjiao to the palace to seal the queen, and explained that he cleaned himself up decently.
