Why is it said that although Wei Zhongxian is bad, he has supported half of the Ming Dynasty?

Wei Zhongxian is conscientious and loyal, and he can count big things.

It was because Wei Zhongxian held most of the strength, and many people were afraid of Wei Zhongxian so they did not dare to invade the Ming Dynasty.

It was because of Wei Zhongxian that he directly gave the military power to others before he died, causing all the troops to betray the Ming Dynasty, so it collapsed.

Wei Zhongxian, the word Wanwu, was a native of Suning (now Suning County, Cangzhou, Hebei). Wei Zhongxian's family was poor when he was young, so he wandered the streets, although he was illiterate, he knew how to shoot arrows and ride horses, liked to gamble, and was obsessed with alcohol. The "Chronicles of the Middle" records:

Loyal and virtuous, lonely and poor, lustful, gambling can drink and laugh, like fresh clothes galloping horses, holding a bow in the right hand, strings in the left hand, and shooting in many odds. Illiterate, most people call them fools. It is also responsible for being able to decide, Gu Guess is very self-serving, and the happy event is still good, which is its shortcoming.

Wei Zhongxian often gambles with a group of evil youths. Once, he felt very distressed after losing a big gamble, so he hated himself and changed his name to Li Jinzhong. However, he later changed back to his original surname and was given the name Wei Zhongxian by the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian was elected to the palace since the Wanli period, and was subordinate to the eunuch Sun Xian, and entered the Jiazi library by tying up Sun Xian.

Later, Wei Zhongxian asked to be the emperor's eldest grandson's mother, Wang Cairen, for a meal, and then joined the Wei Dynasty. The Wei Dynasty praised Wei Zhongxian to Wang An many times, and Wang An treated him well. The nurse of the emperor's eldest grandson is called Keshi, and she eats against the Wei Dynasty.

After Wei Zhongxian entered the palace, the Hakka colluded with him again, and the Hakka met the Wei Dynasty coldly and loved Wei Zhongxian, and the two formed a deep relationship.

In the forty-eighth year of Wanli and the first year of Taichang (1620), Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong and Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong died within a month. Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan were deeply favored by Xizong. Within a month of Xizong's accession to the throne, he named the Ke clan as the holy lady, and Wei Zhongxian was also promoted to the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of Bingbi.

During the period of Mingshenzong, the Donglin Party rose. Donglin's lecture coincided with the intensification of social contradictions at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Donglin people used the satire to discuss the government and government, commented on the name of officials, and shielded landlords and fought for the profits of wealthy businessmen.

Although they put forward progressive slogans such as honesty and honesty, revitalizing the rule of officials, opening up the way of speech, and eliminating the accumulated evils of the government and the opposition, in essence, they have become the spokesmen of the interests of big landlords and big businessmen, and they have vigorously obstructed the act of collecting funds for disaster relief. Wei Zhongxian's strength grew day by day, which naturally led to a struggle with the Donglin Party.

First of all, he is a good person, in terms of life, he is a bad person, ruthless, ruthless and selfish, but for the Ming Dynasty at that time, he was the only one who could check and balance the party.

Because of Wei Zhongxian, as a celebrity around the emperor, he has been in contact with many major events in the DPRK and China, and he will also stammer. His death hastened the fall of the Ming Dynasty, as his power was wiped out in a short period of time, making Chongzhen the king of the fallen country.

Wei Zhongxian would often visit others, so that many others were willing to help him, and his death hastened the fall of the Ming Dynasty, because his death caused many people to rebel.

Introduction: During the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs had relatively large power, sometimes even surpassing the cabinet, and the power struggle between them was also obvious. Wei Zhongxian covered the sky with one hand in the Ming Dynasty, why couldn't he fight Chongzhen?

Although Wei Zhongxian is said to be a person with a lot of power and a certain talent, in fact, Wei Zhongxian's own cultural level is very low, and he can't even recognize it. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian is not as strategic as a real politician, but has some cleverness. In addition, Chongzhen hates Wei Zhongxian, the answerer, and Wei Zhongxian has made countless enemies in the process of fighting for power.

So as long as the emperor doesn't like it and points all the fingers at Wei Zhongxian, there will naturally be some people who will take advantage of his strength, so he will take advantage of the emperor's dislike of Wei Zhongxian and get rid of Wei Zhongxian. In fact, it is not that Wei Zhongxian can't fight Chongzhen, but that Wei Zhongxian can't fight Chongzhen and his enemies. Therefore, after Chongzhen ascended to the throne, Wei Zhongxian fell out of favor, and then was sent to other places and hanged himself.

In fact, there are still eunuchs among the personnel appointed by Chongzhen in the future, and there are even eunuchs who are good friends with Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, Chongzhen doesn't hate eunuchs, but he hates eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian.

Speaking of eunuchs, many people will think that they are a very peculiar existence, but in fact, eunuchs are only serving in the palace, and they also have to damage their own bodies. It's just that because they are closer to the emperor, the eunuchs also participate in the stage of history. Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, in order to disperse the power of the cabinet, the emperor would appoint eunuchs in a special way, so there were some periods when eunuchs played a relatively large role.

But in most cases, eunuchs are just a small official position, just a way for people to earn a living, so there is no need to exaggerate. Don't believe in the function of eunuchs in film and television dramas, this is just misleading in film and television dramas.

In the final analysis, the centralization of power in the Ming Dynasty has reached a considerable extent. The Ming Dynasty is no longer the Tang and Han Dynasty of the year, and the restrictions on the power of eunuchs have reached a considerable level, and the imperial power is very large.

Because Chongzhen is a royal bloodline, although Wei Zhongxian can cover the sky with one hand in the Ming Dynasty, he is only a eunuch after all, so more people will support the emperor, and Chongzhen is also very smart.

Because the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have great power, but in fact their powers were given by the emperor, and the emperor could deprive them of their powers at any time as long as he wanted.

Because Chongzhen is a very smart person, and he knows a lot of things very well, and he also knows a lot of details.

Wei Zhongxian originally suffered huge losses due to gambling addiction and entered the palace from the palace. Due to fate, he was valued by Ming Xi Sect. gradually became proficient in domineering, wantonly exterminated dissidents, and the court was full of party henchmen.

The Donglin Party did a very poor job in some places, but Wei Zhongxian did not die in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would not die, according to this meaning, Zhu Yuanzhang would not die in the Ming Dynasty.
