Chapter 130 Zhang Juzheng, a complicated person

[After talking about Zhang Juzheng's achievements, let's take a look at Zhang Juzheng's problems.]

[In June of the tenth year of Wanli (1582 AD), Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and his death also marked the end of the "Zhang Juzheng's reform".

The tea is cold when people walk.

Many censors in the court and political enemies before Zhang Juzheng immediately pointed their finger at him after Zhang Juzheng's death.

The memorial of impeachment like a snowflake flew to Emperor Wanli's table.]

[The Emperor Wanli had long seen Zhang Juzheng feel unhappy, so he ordered Zhang Juzheng to be deprived of the title of the Grand Tutor of the State of the Pulse, and all officials promoted by Zhang Juzheng would be demoted or deposed.

Even Zhang Juzheng's home was blocked and he was not allowed to enter and exit. On the day the door was opened, he found that more than a dozen people in the Zhang family had starved to death.

More than 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold were confiscated from Zhang Juzheng's home. The eldest son Zhang Jingxiu could not bear the torture and eventually hanged himself to death. Zhang Juzheng himself was almost slaughtered torture.

This is roughly the ending of Zhang Juzheng, not only did he lose his reputation in his later years, but his family was also destroyed, which was extremely miserable.]

Zhang Juzheng stared at the video blankly. No matter what, he never expected that he would be treated like this by Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun after his death.

He couldn't figure out why he worked diligently, which made the dark Ming Dynasty revitalize and let the poor people have hope for their lives again. In the end, why did he end up being disgraced and his family destroyed?

"After all, I paid the wrong payment!" Zhang Juzheng covered his face in pain, and the suffering in his heart was difficult to tell the outside world.

However, the video is still playing unwaveringly.

[As the greatest politician and reformer of the Ming Dynasty, where was Zhang Juzheng wrong?]

[1. Zhang Juzheng was too strict with Wanli, which led to Emperor Wanli's rebellious mentality.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, the one who can really determine his fate after his death was Emperor Wanli.

As long as Wanli unswervingly supports Zhang Juzheng, then Zhang Juzheng will not be confiscated; but if Wanli hates Zhang Juzheng, then the imperial officials will definitely not have a good ending if they fall under the emperor's preferences.

Unfortunately, Emperor Wanli can be said to be, and he has hated Zhang Juzheng to the core.]

[Emperor Wanli succeeded to the throne at the age of ten. At this age, he could not handle state affairs, so he needed someone to support and assist him. These people were Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng.

Empress Dowager Li is very strict with Wanli, but as the saying goes, a loving mother often defeats her son, so Empress Dowager Li's approach is actually not wrong.]

[Historical records show that "the emperor was drunk at a banquet in Xicheng. He ordered the eunuch to sing a new song. He could not say anything and attacked him. He tried to persuade him to persuade him, but then he played with his hair. On the verge of Yi, the empress dowager heard that he had a message from Juzheng to give him a comment, and ordered him to be the emperor to blame him for his imperial letter. He also summoned the emperor to kneel down and count his past."

Emperor Wanli was young and frivolous, and he could not help but do something ridiculous.

Once, Emperor Wanli was drinking at a banquet in Xicheng and asked his attendants to sing. The attendants couldn't sing, so Wanli drew out his sword and wanted to kill people. Fortunately, the people around him persuaded him, and then he cut off the attendants' hair to show punishment.

This kind of thing was commonplace in feudal dynasties and was not unusual, but when Empress Dowager Li found out, she was furious and not only told Teacher Zhang Juzheng, but also asked Emperor Wanli to draft a self-criticism edict, but also asked him to kneel in front of the door for a long time and criticize his faults.

This kind of punishment with humiliation often backfires and can even distort a person's personality!]

[A person's character when he grows up has a lot to do with his childhood experiences.

Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister of the cabinet and had a high position and a powerful position. He was originally a teacher of Wanli, so his education on Wanli was often extremely strict.

Although Zhang Juzheng's original intention was to cultivate a virtuous wise ruler, his approach was actually a bit too much.

Another time, Emperor Wanli misread the word "bo" in his study.

But just such a small mistake, Zhang Juzheng shouted at Wanli in front of the ministers.

Wanli was so scared that he shivered, and even the ministers next to him showed fear.

Although strict teachers produce high disciples, sometimes this principle does not apply to everyone, such as Emperor Wanli is the exception.

Because Emperor Wanli was disciplined too strictly when he was young, his personality was distorted.

After Emperor Wanli took power and gradually realized that he was the emperor and the emperor, then his revenge would gradually emerge.]

[So, when Zhang Juzheng passed away, Emperor Wanli began to take crazy revenge.

He not only abolished the reforms that Zhang Juzheng worked hard to implement, but also confiscated Zhang Juzheng's home, destroying his family.]

【Sad! Sorry!

Zhang Juzheng originally wanted to cultivate a qualified heir to the empire, but he did not expect to cultivate a vengeful vengeance. As an imperial teacher, this has to be said to be his failure, a great failure!]

"Haha. It's true that the old minister is incompetent." Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng felt guilty, but more disappointment and anger.

[2. Zhang Juzheng monopolized the power and offended many court ministers.

Strictly speaking, this is not Zhang Juzheng's fault, but because the means are too direct and there is no room for reversal, the court has caused shock, but there is an unshirkable responsibility here.

Because Zhang Juzheng wanted to reform, he needed absolute rights, and it would inevitably touch some vested interests. The world was bustling for profit, and the world was bustling for profit, and no one wanted his own interests to be lost.

Historical records show that "A small matter is inconsistent, and criticism follows, and he is also ordered to investigate. Yu Maoxue, the minister, asked to do lenient policies, and was appointed as the official, and his position was cut off. The censor Fu Yingzhen continued to say that, and issued an edict to prison and garrison."

The censors of the Ming Dynasty were so glorious that they were so glorious, but it was precisely because of their great power that the censors often bullied local governors.

For this reason, Zhang Juzheng had to strictly rectify this bad habit. Some people pleaded for some censors, and Zhang Juzheng was severely punished, either in prison or dismissed from office.

During Zhang Juzheng's rule, those who were unwilling to accept could only swallow their anger. After all, Zhang Juzheng was too powerful, so powerful that even the emperor dared not contradict him, and they could not afford to offend him.

Once Zhang Juzheng died, the money fell and the tree was scattered, so everyone also put the blame on the wrong side.

Zhang Juzheng did nothing wrong in rectifying the administration of officials. These are all for the sake of the country, but he offended a large number of officials intentionally or unintentionally.

If no one impeached Zhang Juzheng after his death, the Zhang family would not be so sad.

[However, it is impossible not to offend people if you want to reform. The price of reform is to sacrifice the interests of some people to create greater interests, which is worthy of recognition.

In the first ten years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng's image was glorious and majestic, with sufficient treasury and sufficient food and supplies. He changed the old trend of the previous dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was revitalized.

It was precisely because of Zhang Juzheng's reform that Wanli had the capital to neglect his affairs, otherwise the demise of the Ming Dynasty might have to be ahead of schedule.]

[The reason why Zhang Juzheng was attacked by the crowd is actually related to his personal lifestyle.]

[It is precisely because Zhang Juzheng's life is very corrupt that many people cannot admire him, and he has also belittled and even slandered his achievements.]
