Zhang Siwei is worthy of being a political veteran with decades of experience in struggle, and he advised the little emperor not to deal with the so-called Zhang Juzheng's comrades indiscriminately at one time. Zhang Siwei suggested that the focus should be on dealing with Zhang Juzheng's die-hard subordinates, and that these Zhang Juzheng's cronies must be treated seriously and seriously, and that it can also deter some people who are not firm in their position. For those who have an alliance with Zhang Juzheng, such as Feng Bao, Shen Shixing and others, they can be demoted or ordered to return to their hometowns for retirement. Let these people know the consequences of fighting the little emperor with Zhang Juzheng, so that all the courtiers dare not offend the little emperor. Zhang Juzheng's disciples and grandchildren can be given a chance by the imperial court, as long as they voluntarily give up their nominal teacher-student relationship with Zhang Juzheng, the imperial court can deal with them lightly. The purpose is to let these Zhang Juzheng's so-called protégés personally expose Zhang Juzheng's crimes, which makes everyone feel that Zhang Juzheng deserves to die more than the court deals with Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng's spirit will be more painful. For the grass on the wall, Zhang Siwei suggested that the imperial court and the little emperor could win it over, but these people were actually not loyal to Zhang Juzheng. These people are not only large in number but also disunited, as long as they are controlled by the little emperor, they are a group of mad dogs, and they will deal with whoever the little emperor wants them to deal with. Zhang Siwei's suggestion to the little emperor did not expect it to become his own result a few years later, and the little emperor used these wall grasses to frame the crime, causing Zhang Siwei not only to lose the status of the first assistant to the cabinet, but also to be discredited. If I had known that this would be the case, would Zhang Siwei have made this suggestion to the little emperor at the beginning?

The little emperor, with the support of Zhang Siwei, immediately stabilized the situation, and at the same time made a series of decisions. All the honors of Zhang Juzheng during his lifetime were canceled, and even the name of the little emperor's teacher was gone. The reason is that the little emperor is ashamed of Zhang Juzheng's teacher, and is unwilling to let this big corrupt official Zhang Juzheng be his teacher again, and officially announces the severance of the teacher-student relationship between him and Zhang Juzheng. The fame of the four sons of Zhang Juzheng's family was all gone, and the three sons who had become officials were not only dismissed but also imprisoned. The reason is that Zhang Juzheng used his position to gain fame and position for his son. Especially Zhang Juzheng's second and third sons, one was the top actor at that time, and the other was the champion. If they weren't for Zhang Juzheng's sons, they would never have such good results. Zhang Siwei shamelessly compared Zhang Juzheng to Yan Song back then, Yan Song also made Yan Shifan the champion in order to arrange his son, because only those who are among the top three can enter the cabinet. Yan Song wants his son Yan Shifan to succeed him, and Zhang Juzheng also wants his son to succeed him. In order to train his son, Zhang Juzheng bought and even coerced the examiner to give his son good grades. This is an act that everyone knows and abhors, and it is even more possible to use this incident to discredit Zhang Juzheng. This is also one of Zhang Juzheng's unavoidable stains, Qin Tai reminded Zhang Juzheng many times not to let his son be too showy. But at that time, Zhang Juzheng did not listen to the suggestion, and asked the little emperor to preside over it himself, which became the fuse of another head-on friction between him and the little emperor. Zhang Juzheng's family was all detained on charges of embezzlement and public profit. Even Zhang Juzheng's old mother and others in his hometown were taken into custody, and soon after, under Zhang Siwei's arrangement, they were all escorted to Beijing and imprisoned in prison.

Feng Bao was removed from all positions and ordered to confess his crimes in prison. Because Shen Shixing was old, he was exempted from accusation and imprisonment, and the little emperor ordered Shen Shixing to leave the capital within three days and go home to retire. Wang Guoguang and other Zhang Juzheng's cronies were not so lucky, Wang Guoguang was sent to prison, and several of Zhang Juzheng's right-hand men disappeared. In fact, he was secretly imprisoned by the little emperor and forced them to confess Zhang Juzheng's secret.

Zhang Siwei also saw that the little emperor was not angry, and letting go of some officials who were not very close to Zhang Juzheng was just to stabilize the situation. The little emperor was not only ruthless but also very quick to attack Zhang Juzheng's cronies, Zhang Juzheng's cronies No. 1 Wang Guoguang was tortured to death as soon as he was imprisoned, which shows that the little emperor hated Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Juzheng's cronies very much. For this reason, in order to cater to the little emperor and to be angry for himself, Zhang Siwei decided to contact everyone to make black materials together. A large number of officials "confessed" to many so-called "facts" under the threats, inducements, coaxing, and inducements of Zhang Siwei and others. Zhang Juzheng's crimes became more and more, and the charges became bigger and bigger, and in less than three or four days, Zhang Juzheng became a heinous villain. The little emperor knew that Zhang Siwei had exaggerated Zhang Juzheng's crime, but he still did not object or even hinted that Zhang Siwei was a little more ruthless. With the acquiescence of the little emperor, Zhang Siwei decided to expand the scope, implicate more people, and list more and bigger crimes to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng has become the worst bad guy in the world, and his family has become a man-eating devil. Some people even say that Zhang Juzheng's family eats live people as vegetables, and eats the remaining bones to give to his subordinates or cronies to eat, and the people who are with Zhang Juzheng are all man-eating demons. As more and more people became aware of Zhang Juzheng's "evil deeds," under the command of some well-intentioned people, people from all walks of life in various localities and in Beijing organized letters demanding that Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Juzheng's cronies be seriously dealt with. The little emperor pretended to refute the rumors for Zhang Juzheng, saying that even if Zhang Juzheng was guilty, he should not affect his family and cronies, but in fact, he was encouraging everyone to liquidate and attack Zhang Juzheng's family and subordinates, after all, Zhang Juzheng was dead at this time, and it was useless to target Zhang Juzheng again.

Under the planning of Zhang Siwei and some people, and with the encouragement of the little emperor, more and more people demanded that Zhang Juzheng's family and Zhang Juzheng's subordinates be investigated for their co-crimes. Zhang Siwei even cried in front of everyone, saying that he had never known that Zhang Ju was such a person with a beastly heart, otherwise he would have fought with Zhang Juzheng a long time ago. Zhang Siwei hinted that Zhang Juzheng's sons came from an improper path, and were even suspected of rebelling against the court and the royal family. Of course, the ministers supported Zhang Siwei in a clear and unambiguous manner, and soon after, the ministers of the Zhongwei Cabinet jointly asked the little emperor to deal with Zhang Juzheng's case. The little emperor pretended to be helpless, and under Zhang Siwei's repeated requests, he promised to initiate the highest trial and punishment for Zhang Juzheng's family. The so-called maximum trial punishment means that once Zhang Juzheng's case is certain, Zhang Juzheng's family and Zhang Juzheng's subordinates will face the most severe punishment. Zhang Juzheng will die a restless death, even if he is not whipped, he will die without a place to be buried. Zhang Juzheng's family and son will also be confiscated or exiled, and there will never be a chance to turn over. Zhang Juzheng's assistants and subordinates will also be charged with rebels and become the lowliest slaves.

Zhang Siwei took advantage of this opportunity to encourage his subordinates to draw up a list of some people and attribute them to Zhang Juzheng's co-defendants, so that they would have a better future and future in the city. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Siwei and his subordinates can not only get a good position, but also extort a large amount of money. It's not that the little emperor doesn't know Zhang Siwei's behavior, but in order to make Zhang Siwei absolutely support and obey the little emperor, the little emperor allows Zhang Siwei to act arbitrarily. Zhang Siwei's personal property suddenly changed from the original 300,000 taels of silver to more than 5.7 million taels of silver in less than a month. Most of them were obtained by Zhang Siwei for embezzlement or blackmailing officials, and of course some were privately detained during the seizure of Zhang Juzheng and others' property. In order to cater to the little emperor, Zhang Siwei deliberately tightened the palace with these confiscated properties and became the private property of the little emperor. The little emperor was happy, of course he didn't care about the little benefit that Zhang Siwei had detained in private. Zhang Siwei and the little emperor not only took revenge on Zhang Juzheng, but also got tangible benefits from this incident.
