Second, Zhang Juzheng is autocratic. Since Zhang Juzheng officially served as the first assistant of the cabinet, he has grasped all the powers. Not only did he say nothing in the cabinet, but he also began to meddle in the affairs of other yamen institutions. Although Zhang Juzheng's strength made some people afraid, it made everyone disgust and disgust Zhang Juzheng even more. Zhang Juzheng has become everyone's target, and everyone began to speculate about Zhang Juzheng's results. Zhang Juzheng demanded that the yamen at all levels, especially the yamen in Beijing, must regularly want to make reports on their own, and that they must let themselves know about any major matter at the first time and decide by themselves. Although the cabinet is nominally the highest yamen, and even the six yamen need to act under the command of the cabinet, the six yamen have always only obeyed the head of their own yamen, Lord Shangshu. However, after Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant of the cabinet, he directly bypassed the six Shangshu to manage the affairs of the six yamen, and almost set up the six Shangshu. This approach not only caused dissatisfaction among Liubu Shangshu and others, but also made everyone feel that Zhang Juzheng was too much. But Zhang Juzheng didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all, he felt that he had done a lot of things for the six Shangshu, and the six Shangshu had to thank him. In many letters to Qin Tai, Zhang Juzheng mentioned that he was too idle to read six books, but in fact, Qin Tai had already sensed that something was wrong at that time. Zhang Juzheng is so domineering that he does not let go, which will bring him a lot of trouble in the future.

Things in officialdom can't just look at the surface, there is an old saying that "it's good not to do it, but the more you do it, the more wrong it is." "Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms period was such a person, when he served as the prime minister of Shu, he not only had to do everything personally, but also took care of a lot of things. He always felt that others couldn't do it well, and he was relieved to do it himself, so even the appointment of a warehouse official in a place needed to be personally inquired about. A lot of upset things caused Zhuge Liang's health to deteriorate, but in fact, Zhuge Liang was exhausted to death by himself. After the death, there was no one to deal with a lot of things, and everyone was in a hurry for a long time, and more things broke out. If Zhuge Liang is still alive, he will have to bear the consequences for these things, and he may have to ask for a demotion again. Zhang Juzheng is the same, he is not only busy with more things, but the person directly responsible for the problem is Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng did a good job, and no one would be grateful to Zhang Juzheng, but once something happened, Zhang Juzheng was the most unlucky one, who called him the first assistant of the cabinet and a leader who loves everything.

Third, it is ultra vires. Zhang Juzheng intervened in the royal affairs that the successive cabinet ministers did not dare to meddle in. Even Yan Song, the former cabinet assistant who had the best relationship with Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, did not dare to directly intervene in royal family affairs. And Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, who has been known as a prodigy since childhood, insists on interfering in royal affairs, and even more so does not save face for the emperor in front of the public. This is not just a matter of losing the courtesy of the monarch and the courtiers, but a real problem of overstepping authority. Qin Tai heard Huang Jin say something, and Qin Tai didn't worry about Zhang Juzheng after hearing it. In the seventh year of Wanli, the little emperor was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Li for misbehaving while playing with the eunuch Zhang Whale at night, and Zhang Juzheng wrote an edict for the emperor, thus laying the root of the future trouble. Another time when the little emperor was reading the "Analects", he mistakenly pronounced the word "bo" in "Se Bo Ruye" as the "back" sound, and Zhang Juzheng corrected it sharply: "Treat it as a bo" word!" The voice was so loud that the little emperor was frightened, and all the ministers in the court were shocked. Shen Defu said in "Wanli Ye Compilation": "(Zhang Juzheng auxiliary government) the palace and government are integrated, the wind is followed, the weight of the power, the dynasty is rare, and the ministers are handed over, which is more than the majestic and strict father, and there is a plus." "In his later years, Zhang Juzheng's power was so great that even the emperor was afraid of it, his father died of illness, he was ordered to be buried, sitting in a luxury sedan chair carried by 32 people, which was equipped with equipment such as cleaning and excretion, and more than 100 dishes during meals," Juzheng still thought that there was no place to go. ”。 Zhang Lun, the magistrate of Tongzhou County, patted Mrs. Zhang's ass, and the old lady said to Zhang Juzheng: "It's hot all the way, and when you get to Tongzhou, you can take a rest in a cool country." Zhang Juzheng promoted Zhang Lun to be a member of the household department. For his later life, some people accused him of arrogance and authoritarianism, and his two sons were the champion and the top of the list respectively, which was criticized by the world. Doctors of the Ming Dynasty had a tradition of discussing politics, but Zhang forbade criticism of current affairs. Zhang Juzheng was to unify his thinking and safeguard the status of the official Cheng Zhu Lixue and the interests of the ruling class. Ordered the destruction of the famous mountain academies. Since Wang Shouren (also known as Wang Yangming) founded the science of mind, after decades of development, some radicals have denied the feudal order and preached how people **** how to hide their hearts, Li Zhen, etc.

The most unexpected thing for Qin Tai was that Zhang Juzheng actually interfered with the little emperor's wife. Regardless of the opposition of the little emperor and the queen mother, she insisted on putting a girl who wanted to look good but not good-looking, who wanted to be educated but not educated, and who had an average background, morality, etc., to the queen's throne. This behavior not only let everyone know the domineering of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, but also let the royal people see Zhang Juzheng's power ambition clearly. Even if it is the biological father of a child, he cannot set up a family affair for his child so carelessly, not to mention that the marriage partner is the little emperor, a person who will be a dictatorial person in the future. Zhang Juzheng not only killed an innocent girl, but also made the little emperor hate this teacher who was kind to him from the bottom of his heart. "Mingshenzong Record" said that Zhang Juzheng: "Sex is deep and alert, and he is wise." …… and praise the government, resolutely have the ambition of being the sole one. When he was ordered to be suspicious of the lord and the country, he was the first assistant, took charge of the government, and persuaded the upper to abide by (practice) the ancestral law, and the upper also listened carefully. Ten years of Haiyu (inside) cleared, four Yi subdued, Taicang Su can support several years, the temple accumulation to more than 4 million, into Junde, close to luck, strict examination, comprehensive (nuclear) name, clear post, nuclear acres, inquire about economic talents. …… It is a pity that its partiality is taboo, the small instrument is easy to win, the official is clamped, the letter is relied on, and when he is spoiled and pampered, the root has been broken. Authoritarian shock, woe and swagger. No wonder there are few deaths, and the humiliation follows. Among them, "Authoritarian shock, disaster sprouts" can explain why Zhang is behind him and incurs the disaster of annihilation. Zhang Juzheng himself often said to his subordinates: "I am not a photo, but a photographer." ”

Not abiding by filial piety and not respecting the elders is Zhang Juzheng's personal morality, dictatorship is the manifestation of Zhang Juzheng's love for power, and overstepping his power is the result of Zhang Juzheng's desire for power. For the past time, every reader has been self-cultivation, family cooperation, governing the country, and leveling the world for the purpose. Zhang Juzheng's self-cultivation is not clear, the Qi family is not strict, the governance is unfavorable, and the world is not good, which will bring great trouble to himself and his family. It is impossible for Zhang Juzheng to be the first assistant of the cabinet all the time, and in the future, when Zhang Juzheng dies of old age, what will happen to Zhang Juzheng's family? The little emperor has hated Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng's reputation is there, and he may be able to protect himself, but what about his children? Especially the son of the champion, the child who Zhang Juzheng insisted on being the champion despite everyone's opposition, and the consequences in the future made Qin Tai dare not imagine. Even if the little emperor won't deal with Zhang Juzheng's family openly, will those subordinates who were suppressed by Zhang Juzheng let Zhang Juzheng's family go?

Qin Tai's words hurt Zhang Juzheng's heart like a knife, Zhang Juzheng didn't know but deliberately didn't think about it, and he didn't tell Zhang Juzheng as directly as Qin Tai. Qin Tai's words were not only heard by Zhang Juzheng, but even Zhan Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Zhang, who rushed over. Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't speak, silently standing beside her husband, listening to Qin Tai's venting speech. Mrs. Zhang heard the taste from her husband's expression and Qin Tai's words, Qin Tai was not alarmist. Mrs. Zhang began to worry about Zhang Juzheng and her children, knowing that she would never let her son be the champion. At first, she thought that her son was proud to be the champion and role model, but now it seems that it is not only a blessing but also a disaster.

Zhang Juzheng finally became angry, he shouted at Qin Tai and told Qin Tai and his wife to get out. Qin Tai left first with a calm face, and Zhan Xiaoxiao immediately followed. However, Zhan Xiaoxiao came back immediately, gave Mrs. Zhang something and left immediately. Mrs. Zhang only discovered something after a long time, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a gold lock piece brought by a child. This golden lock plate is the one that Zhang Juzheng gave to Qin Tai's husband and wife's son Xiao Ping'an back then, and it can be regarded as a gift from Zhang Juzheng's godfather to his godson. Zhan Xiaoxiao has been wearing this golden lock plate on the neck of his eldest son Xiao Ping'an. Now that Xiao Ping'an has grown up, this gold lock plate is no longer worn, and Zhan Xiaoxiao wants Zhang Juzheng to engrave a few words for the child as a souvenir. Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng told them to get out of the couple, which was equivalent to breaking off the relationship with them, Zhan Xiaoxiao was a cheerful person, and returned the golden lock plate to Mrs. Zhang as soon as possible. Mrs. Zhang didn't know much about the golden lock piece, but Zhang Juzheng knew very well that the appearance of the gold lock plate meant that the relationship between him and Qin Tai was completely broken. Zhang Juzheng grabbed the golden lock in his wife's hand and left without looking back, leaving Mrs. Zhang alone and motionless for a long time.
