Because Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that Chongzhen, who had just ascended to the position of emperor, would deal with him and underestimate the enemy.
-
Emperor Chongzhen at that time, don't look at it as only 17 years old, he was also a person full of body and mind. Although he is younger, he is more calm and more sophisticated.
-
Wei Zhongxian was only a eunuch even if he was in power, and he was not capable of usurping the throne, and he was not justified. And Chongzhen also has his own forces to compete with.
-
The monarchy system during the Ming Dynasty was originally the supremacy of imperial power, and the eunuchs were originally the spokesmen of imperial power, and life and death were all matters of the emperor's words.
-
Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, you must have a degree in everything you do, if you are too troublesome, you may ruin your future, and you will kill yourself if you do too much injustice.

Lao Wei withdrew the military department at that time, although the east factory is very good, but how can it be compared with the thick and stable military department!
-
The main reason is that Wei Zhongxian was already old at that time, but Emperor Chongzhen was very young, and he also had his own views on national affairs, and he was very dissatisfied with these eunuchs controlling the government, so it was very unkind to treat these eunuchs, and Wei Zhongxian After losing the emperor's trust, his ability would have problems, and even affect others' loyalty to him.

After Zhu Youxiao's death, his younger brother Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne as emperor, that is, Emperor Chongzhen. As soon as Chongzhen ascended the throne, he targeted Wei Zhongxian and got rid of him with lightning speed. You must know that Wei Zhongxian's influence at that time was still very great, he was a powerful eunuch in the late Ming Dynasty, known as nine thousand years old, and being able to mix to that point at that time also shows that he still has the ability.
But in front of the young Chongzhen, he had no resistance at all.
The reason for this is very simple. Wei Zhongxian's power is higher than that of Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and many people are afraid of him but also the emperor behind him. So since the emperor has changed, and the new emperor wants to get rid of Wei Zhongxian, then naturally the court can get huge support, and the emperor wants to kill him as simple as pinching an ant to death.
Wei Zhongxian, who has lost his power, can only be arrested, and there is no way.
Wei Zhongxian is not a confidant of Chongzhen, he was promoted by Zhu Youxiao. After Wei Zhongxian entered the palace that year, he first befriended Wang An, and then fell in love with the Hakka family, and the two became the so-called food relationship, and they were deeply favored by Zhu Youxiao.
Wei Zhongxian also became the master of ceremonies, the eunuch of Bingbi, the eunuch and the governor of Baohe Sandian. Emperor Zhu Youxiao ignored the government and was busy doing carpenter work all day long, which led Wei Zhongxian to exclude dissidents and arbitrarily dictate state affairs, so that people "only know that there are loyal and virtuous, but do not know that there is an emperor".
Objectively speaking, Wei Zhongxian still has some use value, after all, Zhu Youxiao can use him to fight against the Donglin Party, but his disadvantages are too obvious.
But then again, Wei Zhongxian, a person like Wei Zhongxian, who defeated the gods, such an experience is not unusual, if it were not for the emperor's acquiescence, he would not have been able to have any improvement, and Zhu Youxiao just used him as a chess piece.
Not to mention Chongzhen, even Zhu Youxiao can easily get rid of him.
When Chongzhen came to power, he was still a teenager at that time, and he had to be wary of Wei Zhongxian. He doesn't belong to a cronie, and Chongzhen doesn't know anything about Chongzhen's attitude, so he can only get rid of him.
At that time, in addition to Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party was also sharpening their knives, and when they saw Chongzhen's attitude, they would inevitably set off an action against Wei Zhongxian.
So Wei Zhongxian's fate can be imagined. It's just a pity that Chongzhen didn't think about what happened after Wei Zhongxian, which was also criticized by many people, Chongzhen completely lost the power of balancing the Donglin party, causing him to be restrained everywhere.
-
Because Wei Zhongxian is a very arrogant person, he has some contempt for Emperor Chongzhen, and the other party has already seized his handle.
-
Imperial power is equivalent to holding two kings in his hands.
-
Because this emperor has certain rights and knows how to grasp some opportunities, he can quickly get rid of this person.
-
This person became arrogant, this person was unpopular, so the emperor seized the opportunity to defeat the other party.
-
He relied on his strong power, although Wei Zhongxian's strength was very large, but he did not have the right to the army, so he still could not reach the point of turning the clouds and rain, so he could be checked and balanced by the emperor.
-
He relied on his strength to bring down Wei Zhongxian, and everyone in the court supported him and opposed Wei Zhongxian, and then killed Wei Zhongxian.
-
He is a royal bloodline, and he can make many people willing to obey him, so that many people are willing to follow him to fight.
-
The Ming Dynasty was a Wen eunuch, and the Tang Dynasty Wu eunuch tried.
-
Although the 16-year-old Emperor Chongzhen was young, Emperor Chongzhen slowly plotted against Wei Zhongxian and disintegrated the henchmen around Wei Zhongxian, resulting in the loss of Wei Zhongxian's power, and then he was taken down by himself.
-
This is mainly determined by the system of the Ming Dynasty, although the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are cattle, but because they do not control the military power, the eunuchs are completely dependent on the imperial power, and the emperor is not happy with him, and the eunuchs will be finished. Cao Jixiang, the only eunuch in the Ming Dynasty who challenged the imperial power, was because he had a little military power, in fact, it was completely insufficient. So later, it was also suppressed.
-
Because Wei Zhongxian's power was given by the emperor, when the emperor decided to take back power, he was nothing, so he would not be Chongzhen's opponent.
