"Because when you get to Jinyiwei, it doesn't mean that you can escape because of your strong bones. Even if you have strong bones, you must die."

"Jin Yiwei has already prepared the incriminating confession. All he is waiting for is the signature."

"If one person can't hold you down, why can't a hundred people hold you down? If your bones are strong, you will suffer in vain."

"Otherwise, the number of people involved in the Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu cases would not have been as high as nearly [-]. Let me ask, let alone the cases of rebellion in the past dynasties, even the cases of rebellion, have the number of people involved ever been as high as [-]? ?”

"Zhu Yuanzhang's move was obviously a massacre of innocent people, and Jin Yiwei played a big role in it."

"Since Jinyiwei is so useful, why did Zhu Yuanzhang abolish Jinyiwei?"

"Because Jinyiwei, as a secret service directly under the emperor, has a higher status than the Three Laws Division. If we continue to use Jinyiwei, why do we need the law? Why do we need the Three Laws Division?"

"If a country's laws become like a piece of waste paper, how can there be order? And if there is no order, how can there be peace?"

"Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang revoked Jinyiwei's status as a secret service agency in the 26th year of Hongwu and restored it to its original status."

"In order to show that Jin Yiwei would never be used again, he even burned all the Jin Yiwei's torture instruments in public places, but he never expected that his son Zhu Di would resume Jin Yiwei."

"The reason why Zhu Di restored the Jinyiwei was the same as the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang created the Jinyiwei. It was political necessity."

"Zhu Di did not see Zhu Yunwen when he broke into the palace. All he saw was a burnt corpse. As for whether it was true or not, the eunuch who served Zhu Yunwen said yes."

"If it weren't for this eunuch, Zhu Di wouldn't even realize that it was Zhu Yunwen. After all, he was completely unrecognizable."

"So is this Zhu Yunwen? It's very likely not!"

"First of all, Zhu Yunwen had two sons, the prince Zhu Wenkui and the second son Zhu Wengui. However, at the fire scene, Zhu Di only found Zhu Wengui. Zhu Wenkui was nowhere to be seen, not even a body."

"Since Zhu Wenkui can escape, then Zhu Yunwen can also escape."

"Another point is that the emperor has his own seal. After all, if there is no seal, how can he issue an imperial edict? But as Zhu Yunwen disappeared, the seal also disappeared."

"You know, that is a seal. As soon as a fire broke out in the palace, Zhu Di actively carried out fire-fighting operations. It was impossible to burn it out in a short time, but it evaporated inexplicably."

"It is possible that Zhu Yunwen took it away from the palace and used it as an artifact to prove his identity."

"Last point, Zhu Di buried Zhu Yunwen with the etiquette of the emperor. After all, although he rebelled, he did it in the name of "Qingjunzi". If Zhu Yunwen was hastily buried, wouldn't it mean to the world that he was rebelling."

"But what is unexpected is that in less than 200 years, the tomb where Zhu Yunwen was buried according to emperor's etiquette could not be found."

"Obviously, Taichang Temple, which was responsible for cleaning, knew that the person buried there was not Zhu Yunwen, so he dealt with the matter from generation to generation, so that later on, the phenomenon of missing tombs developed."

"Since Zhu Yunwen has the possibility of survival, it means that he will raise troops to return to the country at any time, and once he raises troops to return to the country, it will be a painful blow to Zhu Di."

"Because the ministers of the Yongle Dynasty were basically left over from the Jianwen Dynasty, not to mention the local ones." "If Zhu Yunwen appears, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos again, and his throne will be preserved. If we can’t keep it, it will be a problem.”

"Jin Yiwei can just solve his worries. Why do you say that?"

"Because as a secret service agency, Jin Yiwei's job on the surface is to arrest people for trial, but secretly there are other jobs, that is, to deliver to the emperor all kinds of news that the emperor is interested in."

"Zhu Yuanzhang used this to make his officials have no privacy at all."

"Song Ne was sulking at home when he was offering wine during the Imperial Academy. As a result, the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang showed him a portrait of him sulking."

"You know, the place where Song Ne sulks is not on the street, but in his own home. It's scary to think about it."

"How can we eliminate the possibility of another rebellion?"

"Target people one by one and eliminate them physically."

"And Jinyiwei had done this kind of thing as early as the Hongwu period. If he does it again now, it is nothing more than returning to his old business. He is already familiar with the methods and has formed another period of terror politics."

"However, the Jin Yiwei is indeed useful, because there was no official rebellion during Zhu Di's reign."

"Because of the existence of Jin Yiwei, there is no harm to the emperor. If there is harm, it was during the Hongwu period and the Yongle period, because one needed to massacre the meritorious ministers, and the other needed to massacre the old Jianwen ministers."

"Emperors in other periods did not have the need for the two of them. The ways to deal with prisoners were through the three normal channels of the Sanfa Division, which naturally minimized the harm of the Jinyiwei."

"On the contrary, it is beneficial to the emperor. Not only can he monitor the ministers, but he can also learn about various things happening outside the palace and pass the time."

"Some people may have realized that the emergence of any system in the feudal dynasty was due to the needs of the emperor, not only the imperial guards, but also the cabinet. If there was no need for the emperor, there would be no possibility of existence, because the emperor is Supreme ruler, what is the system for? To rule."

"But there are also times when things are wrong, like Zhu Yuanzhang. He thought that the vassal king could consolidate the emperor's rule. As a result, the vassal king in turn ruled the emperor. As the saying goes, bystanders are clear, but the authorities are confused."

"Whether a system is reasonable or not must be proven over time, and under normal circumstances, the emperor cannot see the day when the system is reasonable."

"Because the emperor who created the system means that he has enough strength to destroy the system. If there are problems with the system, they will only show up when the next emperor comes to power, because the next emperor may not have the strength to destroy the system. On the contrary, he will be affected by the system in turn. Destruction, the Battle of Jingnan can also prove this."

"Therefore, whenever the emperor issues a new system, he will be cautious and cautious."

"But towards the end of the Ming Dynasty, something ridiculous happened to Jin Yiwei."

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the power of Jin Yiwei became more and more powerful, even to the point of being out of control."

"After Emperor Chongzhen came to power, the Jinyiwei was no longer his right-hand man, but became a thorn in his side. Emperor Chongzhen asked the Jinyiwei to interrogate the eunuchs. Anyone who dared to disobey the order would be directly executed."
