Zhu Houzhao's study of history mainly comes from the Twenty-One History. ([

Whatever Zhu Houzhao said in the Twenty-One History and what Zhu Houzhao listened to most of the time, he would go in and out of the right ear. Only when Chen Xi connected historical events together could he remember some key characters and events.

As for the Tang Dynasty, what Zhu Houzhao remembered most was the pacification of the world in the early Tang Dynasty, fighting with the Turks and the Goryeo people, or the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the Empress's Reign, etc., and asking him to study how the Tang Dynasty perished, it was really a bit difficult for him to do so.

Chen Xi is just a common problem between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, which is the issue of the eunuch party, which makes Zhu Houzhao confused.

"Sir, what is the eunuch party abolishing and establishing an eunuch? I understand that eunuch party is eunuch. What is eunuch? " Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

When Zhu Houzhao asked, Shen Ming and a group of eunuchs next to him looked unfavorable. The eunuch party and the abolition of the eunuch have always been a very sensitive topic for them. This involves the trust of the royal family. They hope that the prince would not know that such a thing was happening in history at all.

If Liu Jin was there, he would definitely have to stop Chen Xi from continuing, but if Shen Ming has this qualification, he can only bury his head lower.

Chen Xidao: "The eunuch party abolished the emperor without authorization."

"Ah? First... sir, you... aren't you kidding, the eunuchs... are those eunuchs who have no eggs. What ability do they have to abolish the emperor on their own? Isn't it said that the emperor died, or the prince succeeded to the throne?"

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao felt a little strange... How could those eunuchs who seemed to be humble actually decide whether I could be the emperor or not?

Chen Xi said seriously: "The eunuch party has been abusing power since ancient times. Qin and Zhao Gao sneaked into a pillar, pointing to a deer as a horse, and the Eastern Han party and bribery disaster, the Northern Wei eunuch killed the emperor and the king, and the queen and the prime minister were abolished. The eunuchs in the middle Tang Dynasty were in power, and even in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a eunuch Tong Guan in charge of military power for twenty years, which eventually led to the Jingkang Incident. When eunuchs were in power, they could abolish the king without authorization..."

Zhu Houzhao's face turned pale. Seeing that Shen Mingyou and others' eyes were not so kind, she said nervously: "So powerful? Who... gives them power?"

Chen Xidao: "This depends on the situation, but most of the power comes from the emperor. Taking the disaster of the Party and the corruption as an example, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, many lords ascended the throne, the lords were suspicious of the lords, the empress dowagers were in power, and the foreign relatives were in power. After the young master became an adult, he used eunuchs to attack the foreign relatives, so that the eunuchs had real power. When the emperor died, there would be a situation where the lords were suspicious of the country, and it would be repeated."

"The country is doubtful?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked, "What does this mean?"

Chen Xi explained roughly and said: "The emperor was young and there were many people who covet the throne. There were some rifts between the monarch and his ministers. Ministers could not be loyal to the monarch and foreign barbarians were eyeing him. It was said that the lord was young and the country was suspicious."

"That means I'm not qualified to be an emperor?" Zhu Houzhao murmured.

Chen Xi continued to explain: "The eunuch has no descendants, and the young master lives in the palace for a long time and has no one to trust. If he wants to regain power, he must rely on the eunuch. When the young master is in power, he will repay his kindness and reward the eunuchs and use it more. This is a disaster for the battle for imperial power."

"oh."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "That's all the old things in the previous dynasty. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all very wise and powerful, and they will never have such things... Sir, am I right?"

Chen Xi can only describe this kind of sentence as "hehe".

Other emperors are qualified to say this, but you, Zhu Houzhao... are the least qualified!

Because in history it was your success that caused the disaster of the eunuch party of Liu Jin and others. Even without you, your ancestors did not do any good things. Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi were both representatives of eunuchs. Emperor Yingzong also caused the Tumubao Incident, which almost ruined the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xi said calmly: "Now, it is time to tell the prince about his life decades ago..."

Next, Chenxi will talk about the Tumu Fort Incident.

The "Tumu Fort Incident" is a summary of this incident by later generations. In the Ming Dynasty, such a thing is basically a secret that cannot be said, after all, it involves the issue of national humiliation.

But as the lecturer who mainly talks about the Twenty-One History, Emperor Hongzhi now allows him to talk about the history of the state dynasty, and he can mention some events that are not legal and cannot be said.

He still couldn't say about Emperor Jianwen, but the Tumubao Incident was a certain fact, and later emperors did not say that they would hide this matter to the end. Therefore, even if others thought that Chen Xi said it was inappropriate, they had no right to stop Chen Xi from telling the incident. Even Jin Gui and other upright attendants of the Eastern Palace, they felt that it was necessary for Chen Xi to tell the matter, and that only by letting the prince be prepared for danger in times of peace can they be the responsibility of the Eastern Palace lecturer.

After Chen Xi finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao stood up in shock and said, "You mean, decades ago, my Ming Dynasty was almost destroyed by the tribe named Wala...? Even the emperor was captured?"

This question was too direct, and Chen Xi was not easy to answer, but it was true that he said it was quite tactful.

"Yes." Chen Xi nodded.

"Why don't I know you're lying to me? Also, you said that the emperor was captured, so wouldn't there be no emperor in this world?" Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

This allusion between Emperor Yingzong of Ming and Emperor Daizong of Ming is not as secret as the incident of Emperor Jianwen. Although the throne of Emperor Daizong of Ming was deposed after the Sect Rebellion, after Emperor Yingzong's death, his son made up the trouble and gave his uncle a posthumous title of Emperor Gongren Kang Dingjing, who was Emperor Jing of Ming and recognized the throne of Emperor Daizong of Ming.

But it was not until the Southern Ming Dynasty that Emperor Jing of Ming Dynasty gave the temple name "Daizong".

In other words, by the Hongzhi period, the court basically recognized the identity of Emperor Daizong of Ming Dynasty, which was very different from that of Emperor Jianwen. This matter can be explained by example.

"The emperor was in trouble and should have been rumored to be in the crown prince, but the crown prince is still in his infancy. In order to avoid the suspicion of the country of the lord, the criminal Yu Qian and others made suggestions with Empress Dowager Sun to welcome King Hui to succeed the throne..."

When Chen Xi was talking about these things, Zhu Houzhao widened his eyes and listened, while Zhong Yunguan kept recording what Chen Xi said. The attendants and eunuchs next to him were also stunned, because many of the things Chen Xi said were not known and were the secrets of this dynasty.

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he sighed, "If the emperor had not trusted the eunuchs easily, how could this disaster cause?"

After listening to it, Zhu Houzhao sat down without hesitation and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

If the stories Chen Xi told before were too far away, the things he said this time were not far away from him. Emperor Yingzong of Ming was his great-grandfather, and his grandfather Emperor Chenghua was even imprisoned for many years.

"Mr. Chen, I feel a little uncomfortable... Go to change your clothes first."

Zhu Houzhao was completely scared. She used this trick to escape from urine before, but this time she just wanted to take the opportunity to go out and calm down.

Chen Xi raised his hand, which means "please take care of yourself."

Zhu Houzhao left in a daze. As soon as the person left, the quarrel in the back of the Xiefang Palace became a quarrel.

"Chen Yude, is it appropriate for you to say these to the prince?" Jin Gui walked to Chen Xi with a worried look on his face.

Chen Xi nodded: "Maybe something is wrong, but in order to prevent the prince from getting into trouble, it is better to say a lot of things as soon as possible. After all, the prince occasionally seeks pleasure and may be taken advantage of by the treacherous."

This was deeply agreed by Jin Gui. He saw how much Zhu Houzhao trusted Liu Jin and others in the past. Originally, the prince should have been the closest to the lecturers of the Eastern Palace, but now it seems that the prince trusts the most are those eunuchs, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no eunuchs who will harm the country and the people in the future.

Zhu Houzhao came back shortly after he left, and Chen Xi continued to give a lecture, but the naughty child became a little absent-minded when he heard the following content.

Originally, Chen Xi wanted Zhu Houzhao to review what he had learned before and randomly check and accept the teaching results. Now it seems that it is inconvenient to destroy the naughty child's thinking.

Zhu Houzhao rarely thinks about historical events carefully. The more shocking this matter can make his personality change.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "I'm for your own good, don't blame me."

The day's course ended very early in the afternoon, and Zhu Houzhao went directly to the inner hall. However, Shen Ming took the initiative to come to help Chen Xi organize the case.

"Mr. Shen mentioned those words, do you want the prince to stay away from his close servants around you?"

When Shen Ming said something, he had a little complaint on his face, as if he was saying, "I am a eunuch now, are you also guarding against me like a eunuch party?"

Chen Xidao: "Eunuch Zhang, don't get me wrong, I don't have that intention."

"Mr. Shen is really scheming. He uses the past to describe the present, but he wants to scare the prince out of illness?"

Shen Mingyou seemed indignant.

If it were someone else, he would not dare to come and question it, but the person in front of him, although he was in a high position, was his little nephew whom he once looked down upon. He felt that he had been put on by Chen Xi.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's not easy to use the past to describe the present. I just want the prince to learn from history and learn from it!"

Sometimes explanations are useless, Chen Xi does have the intention to keep Zhu Houzhao away from the eunuchs around him.

Now Shen Xi can't figure out whether the person Zhu Houzhao trusts in the future will be Liu Jin, Zhang Yuan in front of him, or Gao Feng.

In history, as long as those who could cater to Zhu Houzhao would be basically valued after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne.

Shen Ming left angrily, but Chen Xi felt that his second uncle was a little too sensitive.

Before you can do anything, just associate things with yourself, or if you come to the Eastern Palace to be a close eunuch, you are planning to become a eunuch party that harms the country and the people in the future?

But Chen Xi was in trouble now because he knew that Shen Mingyou was the person trusted by the queen. The queen felt that "Zhang Yuan"'s surname was Zhang and that she was from her family. Others might hide anything from her, but Zhang Yuan was devoted to the master.

Empress Zhang first asked Zhang Yuan to follow Emperor Hongzhi, and now asked Zhang Yuan to take care of the prince. If Zhang Yuan felt that Chen Xi's words were inappropriate, he would turn his head and tell Empress Zhang about the matter. Queen Zhang didn't care whether this was Chen Xi's teaching content or not. As long as she felt that Chen Xi made a statement and threatened her son, she would retaliate.

Queen Zhang is somewhat a representative of the snake and scorpion woman. Her ability to be favored is not because she is understanding, gentle and considerate, but mainly because she has the means to win over the emperor's heart.

There are so many emperors in Chinese history, and they are no different from the love between the empress and the common people. Even the concubines are Zhu Youting, which shows the ability of Empress Zhang.
