However, because the Lindong Party controlled the right to speak, and the Manchu Dynasty intentionally or unintentionally contributed to it, most of the history we saw in later generations was viewed from the perspective of Lindong Party. Therefore, we will think that Lindong Party is the embodiment of justice, and the so-called eunuch party is the embodiment of evil.
But in fact, although Lindong Party and Yen Party always seem to be a pair of unscrupulous people, their attitudes in safeguarding the interests of bureaucratic groups are always surprisingly consistent. Believe it or not, if we look at the history of the late Ming Dynasty, we will find that the Lindong Party never encouraged or encouraged the emperor to investigate the financial problems of eunuchs? I have never seen them encourage and encourage the emperor to copy the eunuch's house?
On the contrary, whenever the emperor reveals similar meaning, Lindong Party will try its best to stop it and destroy it. Of course, eunuchs have the same style. Why is this happening?
Obviously, everyone knows that corruption is a common official rule, and the situation is the same whether it is Lindong Party or Eunuch Party. If everyone dares to expose their economic problems when fighting for power and profit, then the emperor will benefit in the end, because everyone plays like this, and the emperor will be guarding a pig farm, because if he is short of money, he will make a fortune by pulling out two fat pigs at any time. This will naturally harm the interests of bureaucrats. ?
Because of this, whether the Lindong Party came to power or the eunuch party came to power, the military, political and economic forms of the empire were not much different. It can even be said that because Lindong Party started by guiding and controlling public opinion, after they came to power, they could only continue to talk without doing practical things.
In this context, the officialdom of the Ming Empire was directly filled with a boastful atmosphere. For example, in the early days of the apocalypse, Lindong Party was in power, and Wang Huazhen shouted 60,000 troops to destroy Liaoyang; As a result, the call for 60,000 troops to level Liaoyang was still heard. The troops of the Ming Empire lost all the land outside the customs and had to return to Shanhaiguan collectively.
For another example, in the early years of Chongzhen, Lindong Party was in power, and Yuan Chonghuan shouted Liao Ping for five years; As a result, after listening to Liao Ping's voice for five years, Huang Taiji's army captured the city. The point is, something happened in the end. Although Lin Dong's bosses are all in high positions, they are innocent. It seems that these things have nothing to do with them.
Their answer to the emperor is always that as long as the emperor destroys treacherous officials and reuses loyal officials, the empire will become better. In fact, to put it bluntly, as long as the emperor lets us be officials, the empire will get better. But the problem is that when the emperor made them an official, the empire did not get better, but became more chaotic. Some people may say that this is all a matter of time and situation, but the problem is that this is the result of letting eunuchs take power and heaven!
In this sense, Lindong Party and Democratic Party are both part of the bureaucratic group. What they really care about is always their own power and status. Their purpose of being an official is to promote and make a fortune, not the ZTE Empire. Therefore, the emperor reused eunuchs, and eunuchs only dared to hit flies; Re-use Lindong Party, which only dares to talk about trivial matters.
On weekdays, the Yen Party and the Lindong Party fought to the death, but in the face of serious military affairs, they always seemed almost enough, and great minds think alike.
Moreover, as long as it is a matter of officialdom and interests, they will soon establish an impeccable offensive and defensive alliance. Therefore, you should not look at the difference between the eunuch party and the Lindong party on the surface. In fact, everyone comes from one side, that is, the bureaucratic group, and the ideal is only to promote to a higher position and make a fortune.
