Are there any jokes about Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty?

Wei Zhongxian with couplets was a eunuch in the late Ming Dynasty. He colluded with the wet nurse Hakka in Zhu Youxiao, seized the power of the imperial court, drove away some honest ministers in the imperial court and killed the rest. From the imperial court to the local ministers of civil and military affairs, all of them were replaced by his fox dog party. A bunch of shameless bad officials voluntarily fell at Wei Zhongxian's feet and regarded him as their adopted son and grandson. The most famous ones are Five Tigers, Five Tigers, Ten Dogs, Ten Children and Forty Grandsons.

The gang called him "Nine Thousand Years Old" and "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Years Old" and built him an ancestral temple. In some ancestral temples, the statue of Wei Zhongxian is carved with the best agarwood, with a golden hat on his head and a big pearl in his eyes. His heart, liver and lungs are all made of gold, pearls and precious stones! A governor personally wrote a pair of couplets and hung them on the pillars of the ancestral temple:

Most holy to god, dry and extremely upright; Yun Wen, the sun and the moon are always new.

The couplet means that Wei Zhongxian is the most sacred figure between heaven and earth. He can shine forever like the sun and the moon. "Allow" when "true".

The most ridiculous thing is that this "Great Sage" who plays with sticks is actually illiterate! Someone copied this couplet and gave it to Wei Zhongxian. "Wei Shengren" doesn't know him, please ask someone to read it to him. After reading it, he was puzzled and said, "What did this guy say? He turned to [Zhu m: i] for help. What? Why do you always mention Brother Huang? " It turns out that this "saint" took "Li Ji" as an adult's name. At that time, there was a cabinet minister named Huang. The people next to him wanted to laugh, but were afraid to laugh, so they had to hold back and said to Wei Zhongxian, "This is from the governor to you." Wei Zhongxian immediately changed his face and shouted, "What? How dare he go against me? Bring it to me right away! " Followers around him quickly explained to him that "opposition" is not your problem, but writing couplets and couplets; Besides, he wrote the best words, all praising you. The gang told the Great Sage word for word. Say that finish, Wei Zhongxian grinned: "This boy is quite good. I have to make good use of him in the future. " Wei Zhongxian not only killed ministers, but also brutally suppressed ordinary people. His lackeys are a dime a dozen, arresting people and killing people everywhere. One night, four people came to a pub in the suburbs of Beijing to drink. One of them drank too much and couldn't help cursing the East Factory Secret Service for being hateful ["East Factory" is a royal secret service]. The more he scolded, the angrier he became, and even named Wei Zhongxian. The other three people were so scared that they quickly covered his mouth for fear of being heard. But this guy kept talking and said loudly, "I will scold Wei Zhongxian, but he can still skin me?" In a short time, a group of spies broke in outside the door and arrested four people in the East Factory. It was Wei Zhongxian who was sitting in the lobby. Wei Zhongxian grinned and said, "Good son! Don't you dare scold me! Didn't you say I couldn't skin you? I will show it to you now! " Say that finish, Wei Zhongxian ordered the man nailed to the wall and skinned alive! Wei Zhongxian is a murderous demon.

Ghosts!

No matter how bad Wei and Ke are, the people will resist. At that time, someone made up a pair of couplets:

Entrusted by ghosts; There are eggplant flowers everywhere.

The words "Wei" and "ghost" in the previous sentence are put together to form a word "Wei"; In the next sentence, the word "eggplant" is homophonic with "guest". Some northerners pronounce the surname "guest" as qiě, which is similar to the sound of "eggplant". The first sentence is that Wei Zhongxian is an evil ghost, and the second sentence is that Hakka is a rotten eggplant. The couple soon spread.

Zhu Youxiao died after seven years as emperor, and his younger brother Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, namely Emperor Chongzhen. arrogant

In order to consolidate his position and win the hearts of the people, Emperor Zhen ordered Wei Zhongxian to be driven out of Beijing. On the way, Ghost Wei heard that the emperor was going to execute him, so he found a rope and hanged himself. What the hell is he doing?
