Is Wei Zhongxian really a heinous person? What kind of person was he in history?

Wei Zhongxian is indeed a heinous person, but everything he does is still consider the problem from the perspective of the emperor, safeguard the interests of the emperor, and still do some practical things. Compared with the Donglin Party, it is much better.

Wei Zhongxian is not a heinous person. As a famous "man of the hour" in the late Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the late Ming Dynasty, had strong endurance and execution.

cruel and vicious, and a scourge to the people of the world. Since the palace, he changed his name to Li Jinzhong, and the surname was restored by the talented Wang family, and after serving as the eunuch of Bingbi, he changed his surname back to his original surname, and the emperor gave him the name Wei Zhongxian. During the Ming Xizong period, he served as the eunuch of the Si Li Bingbi.

From the perspective of the Wei Party's exclusion of dissidents and the cause of harm to the government, Wei Zhongxian is indeed a big villain and a bad person. But he's not useless.

Compared with the harm of eunuchs to the government, those Donglin Party figures who held important positions in the DPRK and the Central Committee were the foundation that shook the country. Without the constraints of eunuchs, the Donglin Party is also a wild horse Weila calendar. All will have the saying that as soon as Wei Zhongxian died, the Ming Dynasty died.

He is not a bad person, although he has done a lot of bad things, but in some ways he is still a relatively loyal seller, not a bad person who is completely acceptable.

The sorrow of the second-in-command, the fault is all his, and the first-in-command is only deceived at best. What is recorded in the books are the complaints of literati and ink writers, which are far from being real from reality. It's not clear whether the eunuch is bad or not, but Wei Zhongxian finally died at the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, do you think he can cover the sky with one hand!

Party contention is either the east over the west wind, or the west wind over the east wind. The reign of Wei Zhongxian in the Apocalypse gained power, basically suppressed the Donglin Party, collected industrial and commercial taxes for the benefit of the emperor, and at least managed Liaodong without shortage of money, and also trained many famous generals to guard Liaodong. Chongzhen took the throne and killed Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party gained power, abolished the industrial and commercial tax, protected the interests of the rich and their own interests, and the loss was the interests of the emperor, forcing the emperor to increase the taxes of the peasants, and the rich did not need to raise taxes, while the poor wanted to increase taxes, forcing the peasants to revolt, which led to the final extermination.

History books are written by readers, and it is normal for Wei Zhongxian to be written by readers. In general, the eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian were loyal to the emperor and protected the emperor's interests. The Donglin Party thinks about its own interests.

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

Scrape the merchants but not the people, the people are in a hurry to make a big rebellion, and the merchants are forced to be anxious at most local small armed forces, and they will be pressed down casually, and the capitalist merchants are "richer than the country", "Heshen falls to, Jiaqing is full", the treasury is only about 40 million a year under the bumper harvest, and the Heshen family property is 200 million, which is equal to the tax of five good years.

Those people have a hole in their brains, and while rehabilitating Wei Zhongxian, they criticize the Donglin Party. In fact, both sides are all the way, the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party are both civilian groups, and they are both connected with the big landlord families behind them.

Wei Zhongxian can be said to be a great eunuch. But he did not rebel until his death. And the ability is very outstanding, blocking Houjin's attack.
