    Looking at the raindrops outside and listening to the sound of waterdrops falling on the roof, Ye Xiang slowly fell into deep thought.  Looking back on history, countless eunuchs throughout the Ming Dynasty were in power, including Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian. No matter how arrogant and domineering they were, they persecuted opponents.  But they were very loyal to their master, the emperor.  When I was in college, this period of history was the most embarrassing for Ye Xiang. Most of those who were greedy for money and surrendered to the enemy were so-called civil and military officials.  When Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, countless ministers surrendered, but it was these eunuchs who fought to the end.  When Li Zicheng invaded the Forbidden City, countless Dongchang eunuchs raised their swords. Although they knew they were outmatched, these eunuchs would rather die under the opponent's sword.  Even just to delay some time for Emperor Chongzhen, it was because of their delay that Emperor Chongzhen had time to kill his wife and children.  When Emperor Chongzhen fled to Meishan, there was only one person by his side. At that time, he was the eunuch chief Wang Chengen.  After Emperor Chongzhen died, the eunuch who had watched Chongzhen grow up committed suicide and accompanied his master.  Recalling everything in the history of the Ming Dynasty, people can't help but think of these emperors of the Ming Dynasty.  Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was born in a rough place, but he went north to conquer the Yuan Dynasty and established himself in the world, but he killed many heroes.  In his later years, he became even more mediocre, which made the people of the world miserable, and the Ming Dynasty almost died.  The second emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen. This emperor was pushed down by his uncle before he had time to show his talents.  The third emperor was Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor, who was recognized as the wisest master of the Ming Dynasty.  Ye Xiang sighed softly, feeling a little heavy. Since the death of Emperor Yongle, the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty have been worse than the last.  The fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Renzong Zhu Gaochi. He had been the prince for twenty years, and he was walking on thin ice every day. However, this emperor only reigned for one year before he died.  He has been in power for such a short time, so don¡¯t talk about his merits and demerits. He may not even know what he should do as an emperor!  People are gone.  The fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, was a very hard-working emperor. He ascended the throne at the age of twenty-nine. He reigned for twenty years and died at the age of forty-nine.  He was very diligent during his tenure, but he exhausted himself to death. Although the Ming Dynasty had a short-term prosperity, his son was very unsatisfactory.  The sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, ruled the world and ascended the throne at the age of seven, but he did not become a good emperor like Emperor Kangxi.  Instead, the eunuch Wang Zhen was reused and was captured first.  As a result, the Ming Dynasty quickly changed emperors, and the Yingzong became an abandoned son.  Although he later regained the throne, he was disgraced.  Zhu Qiyu, the seventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was pushed to the stage after Yingzong was captured, but when Yingzonghui came, he was killed. His eyes were absolutely filled with tears!  The eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, was first robbed of his crown prince. Although he was later robbed back, he had a severe stutter and could only say yes or no when he went to court. He was another depressed person.  The emperor.  He founded a notorious organization in the history of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Xichang.  The ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaozong Zhu Youtang, was a good emperor and a representative of monogamy.  But he died at the age of thirty-six and only reigned for eighteen years.  Zhu Houzhao, the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was another strange emperor. He set up a leopard room and had sex all day long, but he did not have a son. In modern terms, he was simply infertile!  The eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Shizong Zhu Houcong, did not go to court for more than thirty years. He only knew how to refine medicine to become an immortal, and finally ate himself to death.  The twelfth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Zong, Zhu Zaihe, his elder brother and younger brother died successively, and the throne fell to him in a confused way.  His greatest characteristic is his incompetence.  The most important emperor died at the age of thirty-six after reigning for only six years.  The thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Shenzong, was the most famous Emperor Liangbo in history.  In the early stage, due to Zhang Juzheng's reforms, the emperor's treasury was also full.  Later, he took revenge on Zhang Juzheng and began to reckon with him after his death.  Among the fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taichang was even more miserable. He died on a woman's belly in just one month.  The fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao, was also a strange flower. He could not govern the world, but he was good at carpentry. He died in just seven years.  The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, was a brother-in-law. Although he inspired the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, what his fathers left him was a river riddled with holes.  Although he had great ambitions, he could not apply for it and finally hanged himself.  Slowly recalling the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Xiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of dynasty is this?  It¡¯s so unreliable after going through thisThe emperor with such a spectrum has not yet subjugated his country. It must be said that the Ming Dynasty is also a strange thing in history.  So far, Ye Xiang has summarized the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The first point is: incompetence.  Among the sixteen generations of emperors, except Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the rest were all incompetent emperors.  Point two: short-lived.  The longest emperor of the Ming Dynasty reigned for forty-eight years, and the shortest was only one month. Anyone who lived over forty years was considered a long-lived person.  The third point: lustful and fatuous.  Simply saying that these emperors were incompetent does not highlight the problem. The appointment of eunuchs and debauchery are basically the characteristics of every Ming Dynasty emperor.  In the last sentence, these emperors of the Ming Dynasty were just a collection of hard-working people.  Such a dynasty and such an emperor have still existed for three hundred years. It must be said that it is a strange existence.  Although the Ming Dynasty was such a dynasty, it was Ye Xiang's favorite dynasty.  During the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no reconciliation, no land ceding, no peace negotiations, no indemnities, and no confessions. The emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country.  Have backbone, have dignity, never give in, never compromise.  Even if the emperor is captured, he will never retreat. This is the character of the Han people and the backbone of China.  This is why Ye Xiang likes the Ming Dynasty the most. Even as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, they had policies of peace and marriage, but the Ming Dynasty did not.  He breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Ye Xiang couldn't help but sigh.  At this time, although the Ming Dynasty had not yet experienced the disaster caused by Wei Zhongxian, it was already riddled with holes.  After withdrawing his mind from the water drops dripping from the eaves, Ye Xiang told Li Jinzhong and Li Lan beside him: "It's late at night, rest!" That night, the rain outside the window did not stop.  It constantly beats everyone's hearts, and also beats this land that was once rich but now desolate.  Today¡¯s Chapter 3 will return to normal tomorrow morning, noon and evening
