How did Zhu Houzhao get rid of eunuch Liu Jin?

Liu Jin is from Xingping, Shaanxi. Say your real name. At the age of six, he was adopted by eunuch Liu Shun. After that, he entered the palace and became a eunuch, so he took Liu's surname and served the prince, later Ming Wuzong. He is good at reading minds, improvising and being trusted. After the prince succeeded to the throne, he was promoted several times and climbed to the eunuch throne of the official seal. As soon as he came to power, he tempted Wu Zong to be arrogant and extravagant, and took the opportunity to specialize in political affairs. At that time, it was called the emperor, and Wu Zong was the emperor. He rejected dissidents, and most honest officials in North Korea were persecuted by him. The abbot Han Wen was dismissed from office and imprisoned, and Yang Yuan, the supervisor of the five senses, was clubbed to death ... while Liu Yu, Jiao Fang and other villains went to the door and became their henchmen.

The concentration of power stimulated his greed. He used his power to corrupt. He suggested that Wu Zong order all provincial treasures to be thrown into the capital, where he embezzled a lot of silver. He openly took bribes and demanded bribes, engaging in power and money transactions. When officials from all over the country go to Beijing for pilgrimage, they all pay bribes to him, which is called "meeting ceremony". The cost is as high as 2000 yuan, and some are as high as 5200 yuan. Some people had to lend money to the rich in Beijing in order to pay bribes, which was called "Beijing debt" at that time. All officials who are promoted and return to Beijing for debriefing should give him gifts. In addition, he also sent his cronies to work in the local area to collect money for them. According to Ming Wuzong's records, Liu Jin "ravaged Huguang with assistant minister Han Fu and gave more than 100,000 yuan in silver". People who are good at bribing often have a prosperous career, such as Governor Liu Yu, who paid him tens of thousands of taels of silver and rose to the official position.

Liu Jin's greed and despotism have brought endless disasters to the country and people. In April of the fifth year of Zheng De (15 10), Zhu Jian, the king of Anhua, took the opportunity to launch a rebellion. The rebellion was quickly put down because of its unpopularity. Eunuch Zhang Yong took advantage of the opportunity of offering prisoners to expose Liu Jin's crimes to Wu Zong. Liu Jin was arrested, and millions of gold and silver were found at home, as well as forged seals, jade belts and other contraband. After a joint trial, Liu Jin was sentenced to one year. In August of the same year, Liu Jin was punished and ended his sinful life.

Liu Jin, the great eunuch on the stage of traditional Chinese opera, once devoted himself to the ruling and opposition parties, but died because of a drunken remark by Zhu Houzhao. What is the truth?

Wu Zong indulged in the leopard room, and the power fell to the right eunuch Liu Jin. Liu Jin is from Xingping County, Shaanxi Province. After telling his real name, he entered the palace by eunuch Liu, so he changed it to Liu. When she was a prince in Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin waited on her. Liu Jin knows that as long as he takes good care of the prince, he will become a hero around the new emperor, and power and wealth will follow. After Wu Zong ascended the throne, Liu Jin seized the young emperor's love of playing and offered eagles and hounds every day to encourage Wu Zong to play to his heart's content. He won the trust of Wu Zong and was promoted to the supervisor of the internal affairs office, with great power.

In the heyday of Liu Jinquan, honest courtiers waited in the dark. In the fifth year of Zheng De's reign, King Anhua of Ningxia rebelled, and the name of fighting was except Liu Jin. When the news spread to Beijing, Liu Jin hid a campaign and dared not let Wu Zong know the content of the campaign. Yang Yiqing and eunuch Zhang Yongling led the troops to suppress and soon ended the war. During the trip, Yang Yiqing tried his best to make friends with Zhang Yong, and they met happily. Zhang Yong is one of the "Eight Tigers", but he was excluded by Liu Jin. In fact, not only Zhang Yong, but also six other people were suppressed by Liu Jin. Liu Jin is worried that they will be spoiled by Wu Zong, so she often speaks ill of seven people in front of Wu Zong. On one occasion, Wu Zong wanted to transfer Zhang Yong to Nanjing for leisure. Before the imperial edict was issued, Liu Jin expelled Zhang Yong from the palace. Zhang Yong knew that he had been framed by Liu Jin, so he went to complain to Wu Zong. When facing Liu Jin, Zhang had the courage to beat Liu Jin, but Gu Dayong and others pulled him away. Wu Ming settled them down with wine, but the bad blood gradually deepened. This time, Yang Yiqing used the contradiction between Zhang and Liu to lobby to get rid of Liu Jin. In August, Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing sent their troops back to North Korea. After the ceremony, Zhang Yong, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others attended. Late at night, Liu Jin got up and went back to the house. Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Yong took out a letter from his sleeve to impeach Liu Jin, confessed that Liu Jin had violated the law and discipline 17, and pointed out that Wang Anhua rebelled because of Liu Jin, not to mention that Liu Jin had a rebellious heart and wanted to plot evil. Since Wu Zong was drunk, he leaned down and asked, "Is Liu Jin really lying to me?" At this point, Ma Yongcheng and others around also counted Liu Jin and extra-legality. Since then, Wu Zong has made up his mind to send someone to Liu Zhai and follow him. Liu Jin heard the noise, wearing a green python, and was tied up at once. During the confiscation of his property, he seized contraband items such as private seals, 500 palace cards, armor, bows and arrows, and found two sharp daggers hidden in the folding fan he usually used. Liu Jin was imprisoned in a vegetable factory and was later executed by Ling Chi. At the time of execution, many people spend money to buy the cut meat and eat it to relieve their hatred.

The death of Liu Jin turned out to be the drunken words of Wu Zong. No one can compete with the eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, but life and death are in the hands of the emperor. This is a characteristic of the eunuch dictatorship in Ming Dynasty, which is different from that in Han and Tang Dynasties. In the past, the eunuch dictatorship was very severe, and eunuchs could manipulate the emperor's life and death, but this phenomenon never appeared in the Ming Dynasty. This is a strange phenomenon. In the middle and late Ming dynasty, the emperor often did not go to court for months or even years, but this did not mean that the emperor ignored the affairs of the court and lost control of the country. At this time, emperors (such as Wu Zongzhe) conveyed the sacred will through eunuchs and managed state affairs. Ambitious eunuchs took advantage of this opportunity to be Smith and strengthen their authority. However, this kind of power was actually given by the emperor and executed on his behalf. Once the emperor thinks that the situation will endanger the imperial power, he will take strong measures to recover this power. Just like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian are very powerful, they are often caught by the emperor's words, and the reason can be imagined. In fact, after Liu Jin's death, Wu Zong still prized eunuchs, such as Zhang Yong, but Zhang Yong was not greedy, but lived a quiet life.

If someone thinks that Wu Zong gave up power when the Leopard House and Fu Xuan were extravagant, it would be a big mistake. Although Wu Zong didn't enter ouchi, he still often went to court to listen to politics, criticize music and decide state affairs. When he didn't want to go to court, he conveyed his imperial edict through etiquette supervision and ordered the cabinet to carry it out. Even when he was far away from Fu Xuan, he stressed that although the minister was not allowed to come, newspapers should not be sent to Fu Xuan less. Whether Wu Zong approves it or not is another matter. Therefore, although Wu Zong has done a lot of ridiculous things, he is not confused at all in power, and he firmly holds power.

Although Wu Zong has a bohemian nature, he has been looking forward to making outstanding achievements like Mao and Mao in his heart. The reason why he listened to the encouragement to go to Fu is closely related to this thought. In October of the 12th year of Zheng De's reign, Wu Zong, a bronze spear, finally got a chance to show his talents. Wu Zong was very happy to learn that the Mongolian little prince department was stepping on the door, and arranged it himself, hoping to have a big fight with the little prince. The fighting was fierce, and the Ming army was once surrounded by Mongolian troops. Seeing this, Wu Zong personally led the army to rescue the Ming army. The two sides fought more than a hundred times, during which Wu Zong lived and died with ordinary soldiers, and even personally killed one enemy, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army. In the end, it was difficult for the little prince to win alone and lead the army westward. The Ming army won a rare victory, which is called "Yingzhou Victory" in history. It is believed that Ming Yingzong led 500,000 troops to be captured by the Mongolian army in the "Civil Fort Change", and this time he led 560,000 people to face 450,000 Mongolian troops and won a military victory, which is the direct result of this campaign since Mongolian soldiers dared not commit crimes for a long time. Moreover, in this battle, Wu Zongqin arranged the command, and his tactics were correct and his command was correct, which reflected his high military command ability. The battle of Yingzhou became the most brilliant moment in Wu Zong's life.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengde in Kangling, Wu Zongnan went fishing in Qingjiangpu (now Qingjiang City, Jiangsu Province) on his way down. He accidentally fell into the water and caught a cold, and his health went from bad to worse The following year, Wuzong died in the Leopard Room at the age of 365,438+0 and was buried in the "Kangling" in the northeast of Jinling Mountain in Changping. Wu Zong was greedy, lustful, militaristic and rogue all his life, and his actions were ridiculous and criticized by the world. At the same time, Wu Zong was resolute and decisive, criticizing Liu Jin with a flick of his finger and rebelling against Wang Ping and Wang Ning. Yingzhou defeated the little prince, was proficient in Buddhism and Sanskrit, was able to pay tribute to corporal Xian, and personally visited the minister's home, even infatuated with geisha. We can see different military schools from different angles, but it is difficult to see a complete military school. In fact, since the British orthodox dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, the national situation has gradually weakened. If Wu Zong can be conscientious and dedicated in his career, he may become a wise king of a generation and the master of ZTE, and his achievements will go down in history. However, his reckless behavior was criticized by later generations. Between the faint mountains and green waters, Wu Zong quietly rested in Kangling. Later generations will continue to comment on his strange life.
