Before the Song Dynasty, most of the relatives of the foreign clans were decentralized. Since the Song Dynasty, the status of women was suppressed, and the status of military generals (clans) was suppressed, and civil officials were exalted. The era of foreign clans interfering in politics was considered to be the progress of the times in a sense. But problems followed one after another. The weakness of civil servants and scholars and the selection mechanism led to the prevalence of academic families and family families. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it became uncontrollable. It was also a helpless move to use eunuchs to make the children of the playboys to be godsons. It was also a helpless move, and wanted to reverse history and fight poison with poison. Although Zhu Yuanzhang set rules, he was not stupid. He designed the entire bureaucratic system of eunuchs, which actually corresponded to the foreign dynasty. In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang set rules for eunuchs and made plans to let eunuchs participate in politics. In the end, this is indeed true. The Sili Supervisor and the Cabinet are actually corresponding.
civil servant deteriorated after Tumubao . Yu Qian won the battle of Beijing defense was the first to lead civil servants. After Zhengde , the imperial power was further suppressed. Ming Dynasty several famous eunuchs Zheng He , Wang Zhen , Wang Zhi , Liu Jin, Feng Bao , and Wei Zhongxian. In addition to Wang Zhen, he was a pure garbage, all the others were talented and private morality in a certain aspect, and later he was the most important helper for the emperor to compete with civil servants.
Tumen Fort change Zhu Qizhen has grown up, holding 200,000 elite soldiers. Facing the 30,000 people of Valla, he would not be wiped out if he listened to his generals at all. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all controlled by the eunuchs, and Zhu Qizhen was played with by the eunuchs. He and Wang Zhen lowered the level of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhen was the shame of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty and knew nothing about military and economics. Zheng He, Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian were all better than him.
Liu Jin is the real protector of Emperor Zhengde. After Liu Jin died, Zhengde was penetrated into a sieve and died of drowning not long after. The so-called " Eight Tigers " was installed by the civil officials, not by themselves. The civil officials killed the Eight Tigers. At that time, some people said that it was caused by Wang Yue and Liu Jin's battle for power. At that time, Wang Yue was in charge of the seal, but in 16 years, Hongzhi allowed Liu Jin, who was the supervisor of the seal at the time of the internal official, to serve as the supervisor of the Dongchang Factory.
At that time, Wang Yue had a good relationship with the cabinet and planned to kill the Eight Tigers, but someone leaked the secret to Liu Jin in advance. At that time, many people thought that the leaked secrets were the cabinet boss Li Dongyang . After all, Wang Yue and other eunuchs were sent to Fengyang to guard the tomb. Liu Jian Xie Qian retired, and only Li Dongyang remained as the cabinet and became the chief assistant. After Liu Jin was in charge of the Eastern Factory, Qiu Ju, later Ma Yongcheng, Gu Dayong was in charge of the Western Factory. As for Zhang Yong, he was the imperial supervisor and the general manager of the Qianqing Palace, so among the Eight Tigers, Zhang Yong had time to accompany Zhengde, which was also the reason why Yang Yiqing chose to conspire with Zhang Yong to kill Liu Jin.
Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Donglin Party , not by eunuchs. The Donglin Party is simply an organization formed by colluding with gentry, officials, landlords, and rich people. Except for the common people, almost all classes in society are included. This organization annexed a large amount of land and collected taxes in the name of the court. The people could not afford taxes and could only sell land. Without land, they became refugees, and when there were refugees, they continued to rebel. The Donglin Party continued to expand, so it was only in the late Ming Dynasty that the imperial power was suppressed. Several generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty could not defeat the Donglin Party until the last emperor Chongzhen. In fact, at this time, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was resurrected, he was unable to make up for the truth. The Donglin Party almost eroded the entire social class and led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
