In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), after Wei Zhongxian was removed from Chongzhen, he planned to rebuild the cabinet and selected a dozen candidates. Officials began to scold, this is a problem, that is a spy, which makes Chongzhen a headache. Whoever chose was scolded, and everyone was offended crazy.
In the face of difficult problems, Chongzhen showed the true colors of a talented politician. After a few days behind closed doors, he came up with an unprecedented trick in China's political history. As long as you use this trick, no matter who you choose, everyone will be convinced and have no complaints-Mabel.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), in December, under the personal auspices of Chongzhen, the Meibu ceremony was held.
As far as pronunciation is concerned, Meibu is very similar to Wupu, but the effect is similar, because the so-called Meibu, in today's words, is to draw lots.
The specific method is to write the candidate's name on a piece of paper, put it in a golden bottle, then shake it and hold it with a clip. It's over if you don't clip it
Cabinet university students are roughly equivalent to cabinet members. The records of university students are prime ministers, and other university students are deputy prime ministers, which are decided by the top leaders of the Ming Empire except the emperor.
Someone once told me that seniority is a good policy. I don't believe it. Now I think the lottery is also a good policy. You'd better believe it
No one can say anything to those who are caught by lottery, but they should be prevented from going backstage, suing the gangsters, engaging in relationships, etc. At least, once they are caught, they can take it orally, which is really the treasure of China's traditional larceny and mud science.
Before Chongzhen came to power, his younger brother was 23 years old, in the prime of life, and had no son. I didn't expect to die. He didn't expect to be an emperor, so to speak. In this case, he has neither received a good education nor learned the art of emperors. From the day he ascended the throne, there was not a day in the seventeen years that was not spent in internal troubles and foreign invasion. The emperor is not greedy for money, lustful, lazy, talented, in poor health, working day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep. He can be said to have the qualities of a wise king. But in the end, it was powerless, and the Ming Dynasty in 276 was finally destroyed by him.
The Ming History compiled by the Qing Dynasty still admits that he is conscientious and diligent. Chongzhen's life is full of tragedies. He has a strong political skill, careful thinking, decisive and capable, and full of energy. He has almost all the characteristics of a wise king in history: the merits and demerits of Chongzhen are controversial, and he is one of the most tragic emperors in China history. The word "powerless" can sum up Chongzhen's life.
Emperor Chongzhen would rather commit suicide in Jingshan Park than transfer Ningyuan fighters to the Central Plains to fight against Li Zicheng, and kept the promise made by the Ming emperor to his subjects since Judy.
