Looking at the raindrops outside and listening to the sound of waterdrops falling on the roof, Ye Xiang slowly fell into deep thought.

Looking back on history, throughout the Ming Dynasty, countless eunuchs were in power, including Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian. No matter how arrogant and domineering they were, they persecuted opponents. But they were very loyal to their master, the emperor.

When I was in college, this period of history was the most embarrassing for Ye Xiang. Most of those who were greedy for money and surrendered to the enemy were so-called civil and military officials. When Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, countless ministers surrendered, but after the battle,

The last ones were these eunuchs. When Li Zicheng invaded the Forbidden City, countless Dongchang eunuchs raised their swords. Although they knew they were outmatched, these eunuchs would rather die under the opponent's sword. Even just to delay Emperor Chongzhen.

Regardless of time, it was because of their delay that Emperor Chongzhen had time to kill his wife and children.

When Emperor Chongzhen fled to Meishan, there was only one person by his side. At that time, he was the eunuch chief Wang Chengen. After Emperor Chongzhen died, the eunuch who had watched Chongzhen grow up committed suicide and accompanied his master.

.

Recalling everything in the history of the Ming Dynasty, people can't help but think of these emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, came from a rough background, but he drove the Yuan Dynasty north to dominate the world, but he killed the heroes. In his later years, he became even more mediocre and led to the collapse of the world.

The people were in dire straits, and the Ming Dynasty almost died.

The second emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen. This emperor had no time to show his talents and was pushed down by his uncle.

The third emperor was the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, who was recognized as the Yingming Lord of the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Xiang sighed softly, feeling a little heavy. Since the death of Emperor Yongle, the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not as good as the previous ones.

The fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Renzong Zhu Gaochi. He had been the prince for twenty years, and he was walking on thin ice every day. However, this emperor only reigned for one year before he died. After such a short reign, there is no need to say that

If you have failed in your merits, you may not know what you should do as an emperor! You will be gone.

The fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, was a very hard-working emperor. He ascended the throne at the age of twenty-nine, reigned for twenty years, and died at the age of forty-nine. He was very hard-working during his reign, but he put himself

He was exhausted. Although the Ming Dynasty had a short-term prosperity, his son was very unsatisfactory.

The sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, ruled the world and ascended the throne at the age of seven. However, he did not become a good emperor like Emperor Kangxi. Instead, he reused the eunuch Wang Zhen and was captured first. As a result, the Ming Dynasty

The emperor soon changed, and the Yingzong became an abandoned son. Although he later regained the throne, he was disgraced.

Zhu Qiyu, the seventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Jingdi, was pushed to the stage after Yingzong was captured, but after Yingzonghui came, he was killed. His eyes were absolutely filled with tears!

The eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, was first robbed of his crown prince. Although he was later robbed back, he had a severe stutter and could only say yes or no when he went to court. He was another depressed person.

The emperor. He founded a notorious organization in the history of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Xichang.

The ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaozong Zhu Youtang, was a good emperor and a representative of monogamy. However, he died at the age of thirty-six and only reigned for eighteen years.

Zhu Houzhao, the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was another strange emperor. He set up a leopard room and had sex all day long, but he did not have a son. In modern terms, he was simply infertile!

The eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Shizong Zhu Houcong, did not go to court for more than thirty years. He only knew how to refine medicine to become an immortal, and finally ate himself to death.

The twelfth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Zong Zhu Zaihe, his elder brother and younger brother died successively, and the throne fell to him in a confused way. One of his biggest characteristics was his incompetence. The most important thing is that this person

The emperor died six years after his reign, at the age of thirty-six.

Shenzong, the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was the most famous Liangbo Emperor in history. In the early stage, due to Zhang Juzheng's reforms, the emperor also had a full treasury. Later, he took revenge on Zhang Juzheng and began to reckon with him after his death.

Among the fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taichang was even more miserable. He died on a woman's belly in just one month.

The fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao, was also a strange flower. He could not govern the world, but he was good at carpentry. He died in just seven years.

The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, was a younger brother. Although he inspired to revive the Ming Dynasty, what his fathers left him was a river full of holes. Although he had great ambitions, he could not succeed. In the end

Hanged.

Slowly recalling the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Xiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of dynasty was this? After experiencing so many unreliable emperors, the country has not yet perished. It must be said that the Ming Dynasty is also history.

A weird one.

At this point, Ye Xiang summarized the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The first point: incompetence. Among the sixteen generations of emperors, except Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the rest were incompetent emperors. The second point: short-lived. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were the most

During the forty-eight years of his reign, the shortest one was only one month. Those who lived forty years were considered to have lived a long life. The third point: lustful and fatuous. Simply saying that these emperors were incompetent did not highlight the problem. The appointment of eunuchs was basically debauchery.

This is a characteristic that every emperor of the Ming Dynasty has. In the last sentence, these emperors of the Ming Dynasty are a collection of hard-working people.

Such a dynasty and such an emperor have still existed for three hundred years. It has to be said that it is a strange existence. Although the Ming Dynasty is such a dynasty, it is Ye Xiang's favorite dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty

During the three hundred years, there was no kinship, no cession of territory, no peace talks, no indemnities, no confessions, the emperor guarded the country, and the king died in the country. He had backbone, dignity, never surrendered, and never compromised. Even if the emperor was captured,

Never retreat, this is the character of the Han people and the backbone of China. This is why Ye Xiang likes the Ming Dynasty the most. Even as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, they had the policy of peace and marriage, but the Ming Dynasty did not.

Ye Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Ye Xiang couldn't help but sigh. Although the Ming Dynasty at this time had not yet experienced the scourge of Wei Zhongxian, it was already riddled with holes.

After withdrawing his mind from the water drops dripping from the eaves, Ye Xiang ordered Li Jinzhong and Li Lan beside him: "It's late at night, rest!" That night, the rain outside the window did not stop.

It constantly beats everyone's hearts, and also beats this land that was originally rich but now is desolate.
