Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen, the king of national subjugation in the late Ming Dynasty, had all kinds of sad reminders in his ruling career, but he had only one good quality, which was recognized as comparable to that of Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty-hard work!
Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was famous for his diligence. He is busy from morning till night. Three centuries later, Emperor Chongzhen was not satisfied with more. He worked hard all his life. He hanged himself in a patched dragon robe, and was his sworn enemy, Li Zicheng. He sighs again and again, and later generations struggle for youth, but his feelings are even more rampant: why can't he succeed? However, if you don't understand a physical difference before you have feelings, life will be properly pitted: useful and useless.
Life's efforts, like this kind of physical efforts, like every step taken by workaholics like Zhu Yuanzhang and Stuart, are a big step for the country. The futility of standing still, the attitude at first glance, the passionate and useful work are almost the same, but when you are exhausted, you will be hanged. Look at Emperor Chongzhen. Many people in life are very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's glorious deeds, so why not stay put? It's simply too bitter.
Instead of lamenting the fate of Chongzhen, beware of his pit.
First: the mandatory approval of the memorial hall.
No matter what Emperor Chongzhen liked most about Ming Taizu, the first thing to do was to approve the throne.
The work and rest rules of emperors in previous dynasties, and the two emperors in Ming Dynasty, all started the crazy mode. According to statistics from Lu, since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he has read more than 200 memorials and handled nearly 500 affairs of state on average every day, so that sometimes he gets up at four o'clock every day, and sometimes he is too busy to handle many things, so he can only write a small note and stick it in his sleeve. So that when I was talking carelessly, little pieces of paper flew out of my sleeve. The intensity of terrorist work can be called the benchmark of Ming and Qing emperors!
The workload of Emperor Chongzhen in this industry is the closest to that of Zhu Yuanzhang in Ming Dynasty. He also gets up early every morning. Even though every memorial service was full of hot water, he still worked overtime, no matter how hard it was. Don't worry about whether the Eight Banners Army broke the customs and went south, or whether Li Zicheng's battle flags were flying all over the place. What a horrible scene, all this was carried out under calm instructions. The ability to bear hardships and stand hard work and bear pressure is absolutely high among emperors in past dynasties!
However, why can Zhu Yuanzhang, who is so hardworking, try to speed up the operation of the devastated Ming Dynasty in his crazy work, and it is a thriving scene? On the other hand, Emperor Chongzhen was calmer and busier, and the busier he was, the worse he got until he was hopelessly rotten. One of Zhu Yuanzhang's little things is a vivid answer!
It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the paper, he got the approval of Minister Ru. Obviously, 500 words can be explained. Lord Rutaisu said 50,000 words. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and directly dragged Ru over and beat him. After the fight, he was comforted: I have done everything you said. How can I stand you writing so many words? I hit the board three times and rubbed it three times, which completely laid a good atmosphere in Daming officialdom: talking and doing things, never talking.
In fact, Chongzhen also encountered the same trouble. In the late Ming dynasty, the official political style had already reached the stage of overstaffed people, and it had become common to fool people by playing the throne. The troubled Chongzhen is also crazy. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's big moves, the crazy Chongzhen is smart. When he often criticized the throne, he deliberately selected several ministers to make mistakes in the throne, and then used this title to engage in a group of ministers who made mistakes. The proud Chongzhen believes that ministers can't even write typos as a result, so they must be careful.
Where can I think of Chongzhen? As a result, ministers are increasingly resigned to their fate. It used to be a fog cover. After that, they just want to be safe, and they don't even report all kinds of good news. Chongzhen, who just wants to study comfortably every day, is like being blindfolded. The busier you are, the more blind you are. When the city was broken, Li Zicheng turned over a pile of papers left over, but he still couldn't help cursing: he watched this paper all day. This truth, chongzhen than unlearned Li Zicheng understand.
At first glance, this is a technical problem, but fundamentally speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang beat Ru to say something, and Chongzhen chose the wrong word, first for his own comfort. In the final analysis, it is still an attitude problem!
Two: What do you learn in class?
Zhu Yuanzhang can change from a grassroots to an emperor. One of his successful experiences is his love of learning. Although I grew up in a poor family and didn't go to school for a few days, my studies have never declined since I set foot on the battlefield at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to taking advantage of every opportunity to study, I even set up a "Japanese lecture" class, and invited Li Shanchang Liu Ji, Song Lian and other counselors to give lectures to myself every day. All kinds of historical experience are eager to learn, and that's how he learned from a warlord to unify the world.
Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in bitter cold, Emperor Chongzhen had excellent educational conditions since childhood. As a luxurious prince, he studied hard since he was a child and his knowledge level was very high. The related poems he wrote during his reign were recognized as high standards by later generations. Learning attitude is also extremely strong. I resolutely inherited this successful experience of Zhu Yuanzhang from the beginning of my accession to the throne. Although I am crazy about the number of recites every day, I will never fall behind in my studies. Specially restarted the "Japanese lecture" that was abandoned for many years. After 17 years in office, I have to attend classes every day, and my enthusiasm for learning is extremely high!
But the difference between the two lies in one thing: learning content.
The content of Zhu Yuanzhang's lecture in Japan varies widely every day, but the goal is always the same: to win the world. According to Liu Ji's evaluation, Zhu Yuanzhang had a similar understanding of Liu Bang. Even if it is a seemingly unrelated history lecture, he can immediately realize the truth, make a quick decision and put it into practice. Every grand "Japanese lecture" class is often interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden orders, and the cause of the Ming Dynasty is constantly being shot in the arm.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, another important content was added to Zhu Yuanzhang's Japanese Talk: discussion! The founding of the Ming Dynasty was complicated, and the country was destroyed, and the war with the Northern Yuan was also going on. A dime a dozen national affairs are digested in Japanese lectures and it is difficult to decide at the meeting. When Japanese lectures collide, they are often suddenly enlightened.
But in front of Chongzhen, the situation is different. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's excellent ability to choose officials, Chongzhen chose to speak in the future, but most of them were old pedants who had read many poems and books, or politicians who were clever at calculating. I talk about it every day, in the early days, and then it turned into flattery. It's obviously hot outside, and a group of officials are talking every day, but they are competing to sing praises. If the Japanese talk in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang is the indicator light for progress, it has long been a safe haven for Chongzhen.
But at this time of the Ming dynasty, is it time to escape? Chongzhen, who escaped, also turned superficial diligence into another kind of laziness until the demise of the Ming Dynasty!
Three: How bad is your eyesight?
In the eyes of future generations, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chongzhen are most like the iron fist style!
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang, a famous guillotines, faced a corrupt officialdom with "the disadvantages of Chang Xun Hu Yuan" at the beginning of his reign, but he accumulated a lot of money, making laws at leisure first, and then punching when the time was ripe. During his thirty years in office, the whole officialdom was wiped out by a bloodbath, and four major cases were bloodbath, and thousands of officials were dismissed, in exchange for the wailing of corrupt officials all over the country, "more than 100 officials clarified." The heroic spirit of a strong man's broken wrist has attracted countless charms!
Emperor Chongzhen was particularly fascinated. In the early days of his reign, when he ruled Wei Zhongxian severely, he decided to give a heavy hand, combining carrot and stick, and easily hanged Wei Zhongxian, who was in power in the world. Then after seventeen years in office, six ministers and cabinet ministers changed frequently. Many local governors were executed for their crimes, and he couldn't wait to try his best to catch all the corrupt officials in Daming court. However, after some hard work, the officials collectively ate one inside and one outside, leaving the last words of "all the ministers miss me" to hang themselves, and the bones were not buried. Senior officials, big and small, organized a group to find Li Zicheng's rebellion!
Under such circumstances, many people with lofty ideals in later generations shook their heads and sighed, calling the officials of the Ming Dynasty shameless, but the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen were the most worthy of shaking their heads and sighing. No matter how strong the wrist is, the eyes are wide open, and everything is empty talk.
On his deathbed, Chongzhen always lamented that "all the officials were wrong about me", as if there were no good people in the Qing Dynasty, but most of the officials who were wrong about him were not promoted by himself? For example, Chen Yan and Wei Zaode, the cabinet university students led by him as the minister of arms and legs, were all promoted and appointed by him. Finally, he kicked himself and hanged himself. They scrambled to find Li Zicheng to surrender, especially the shameless Wei Zaode, who cursed Chongzhen in front of Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng wouldn't listen. He asked Liu Zongmin to give him some masks!
But what Chongzhen didn't know even more was that he always thought he had "wronged" his courtiers. For example, Lu Xiangsheng, who had made meritorious service in strangling the peasant army, had drawn out his military forces and died heroically in Julu. So Emperor Chongzhen personally helped Li Zicheng and wiped out the most powerful opponent on the battlefield. Sun Chuanting, who captured Gao Yingxiang alive, had just captured Sun Chuanting alive and was deaf by Chongzhen. He was also jailed on trumped-up charges, and finally came out to lead the troops. He was blindly commanded by Chongzhen and forced to play in advance, and was completely wiped out.
If Zhu Yuanzhang killed the hero and was accused of killing the donkey, then Chongzhen opened the stupidest mode: the donkey was killed before the mill was finished! After this stupid thing was done, in the Ming dynasty, when no one was pulling the mill, of course, the grain was completely stopped and the country was given away for nothing.
Zhu Yuanzhang is one of the most outstanding monarchs in the history of China. He made great achievements in politics all his life, especially in creating a large number of systems and regulations, which not only laid the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, but also influenced the Qing Dynasty. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the centralized political rule and the unified administrative system of multi-ethnic countries gradually improved.
