Chapter 130: Zhang Juzheng, a complicated person
[After talking about Zhang Juzheng's exploits, let's take a look at Zhang Juzheng's problem. 】
[In June of the tenth year of Wanli (AD 1582), Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and his death also marked the end of "Zhang Juzheng's reform".
People walk tea cool.
Many officials in the court and Zhang Juzheng's previous political enemies immediately targeted Zhang Juzheng after his death.
The snowflake-like impeachment recital flew to the table of the Wanli Emperor. 】
[Emperor Wanli also saw that Zhang Juzheng was unhappy for a long time, so he ordered that Zhang Juzheng be deprived of the title of Zhuguo and Taishi, as long as it was an official promoted by Zhang Juzheng, all of them were degraded or deposed.
Even Zhang Juzheng's home was sealed and not allowed to enter or exit, and when the door opened, it was found that more than a dozen members of Zhang's family had starved to death.
Zhang Juzheng's home was copied out of more than 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold, and the eldest son Zhang Jingxiu couldn't endure the torture and finally hanged himself, and Zhang Juzheng himself was almost tortured by the coffin.
This is roughly the ending of Zhang Juzheng, not only is his late season unsafe and his reputation ruined, but his family is also ruined, which is extremely tragic. 】
Zhang Juzheng stared at the video blankly, he never imagined that he would be treated like this by Zhu Yijun, the Emperor of Wanli, after his death.
He couldn't figure it out, he worked hard to rejuvenate the twilight Daming, and let the originally poor people have hope for life again.
"After all. It's a mistake! Zhang Juzheng covered his face in pain, and the suffering in his heart was told to the outside world.
However, the video continues to play unswervingly.
[As the greatest politician and reformer of the Ming Dynasty, what did Zhang Juzheng do wrong? 】
[1. Zhang Juzheng was too strict with Wanli, which led to Emperor Wanli's rebellious mentality.
After Zhang Juzheng died, in fact, it was Emperor Wanli who could really decide his fate after his death.
As long as Wanli unswervingly supports Zhang Juzheng, then Zhang Juzheng will not be raided; But if Wanli hates Zhang Juzheng, then if the court officials vote for the emperor's favor, Zhang Juzheng will definitely not end well.
It's a pity that Emperor Wanli can be said to have hated Zhang Juzheng to the core. 】
[Emperor Wanli succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, and at this age he was unable to handle state affairs, so he needed someone to support and assist him, and these people were Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng.
Empress Dowager Li herself is very strict with Wanli, but as the saying goes, a loving mother loses many children, so there is actually nothing wrong with Empress Dowager Li's approach. 】
[Historical records record that "the emperor tasted the wine at the Xicheng Qu Banquet, and made the inner servant sing a new voice, but he couldn't speak, and he took a sword to hit it. Persuasion left and right is a joke to cut his hair. On the day of the wing, the queen mother heard that the rumors were sparse and earnest, and the emperor was guilty of his own imperial records. He also summoned the emperor to kneel and count his faults. ”
When Emperor Wanli was young and frivolous, he inevitably did something ridiculous.
Once, Emperor Wanli drank wine at a banquet in Xicheng, and asked the attendants to sing, but the attendants couldn't sing, so Wanli pulled out his sword to kill, but fortunately, the people next to him persuaded him to cut off the attendant's hair as a punishment.
This kind of thing was commonplace in the feudal dynasty and was not unusual, but when the Empress Dowager Li found out, she was furious, not only told Teacher Zhang Juzheng, but also asked Emperor Wanli to draft an edict of guilt, and also asked him to kneel in front of the door for a long time to count his mistakes.
This kind of punishment with humiliating interest is often counterproductive and can even distort a person's personality! 】
[A person's personality when he grows up has a lot to do with his childhood experience.
Zhang Juzheng is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is in a high position, and he was originally Wanli's teacher, so Wanli's education is often extremely strict.
Although Zhang Juzheng's original intention was to cultivate a virtuous Mingjun, his approach was actually a bit excessive.
Another time, Emperor Wanli mispronounced the word "Bo" in his studies.
And it was such a small mistake, but Zhang Juzheng shouted at Wanli in front of the ministers.
Wanli was so frightened that he trembled, and even the ministers next to him were afraid.
Although it is said that strict teachers produce high apprentices, sometimes this principle does not apply to everyone, such as the Wanli Emperor.
Because Emperor Wanli was disciplined too strictly when he was young, his personality was distorted.
After Emperor Wanli became pro-government and gradually realized that he was the emperor and the honor of the Ninety-Five, then his revenge would gradually appear. 】
[So, when Zhang Juzheng died, Emperor Wanli began to take revenge in a frenzy.
He not only abolished the reforms that Zhang Juzheng had worked so hard to implement, but also raided Zhang Juzheng's home, causing his family to be ruined. 】
[Pathetic! Alas!
Zhang Juzheng originally hoped to cultivate a qualified imperial heir, but he did not expect to cultivate a revenge maniac who neglected his government. As an emperor, this has to be said to be his failure, a big failure! 】
"Huh. It's true that the old minister is incompetent." Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng felt guilty, but more disappointed and angry.
[Second, Zhang Juzheng monopolized power and offended many court ministers.
Strictly speaking, this is not Zhang Juzheng's fault, but because the means are too strong and there is no room for reversal, it caused a shock in the court, but there is an unshirkable responsibility for him.
Because Zhang Juzheng wants to reform, he needs absolute rights, and it will definitely touch some vested interests.
Historical records record that "if a matter is small, it will be criticized and followed, and it will be investigated." In the matter, Yu Maoxue asked for leniency, and Juzheng thought that he was the wind and cut his position. Yu Shi Fu Yingzhen continued, especially keen. Under the edict of prison, cane. ”
The imperial history of the Ming Dynasty is so good that it can be said that the scenery is infinite, but it is precisely because of the greater power that the imperial historians often bully the local ministers.
For this reason, Zhang Juzheng wanted to strictly rectify this bad trend, and some people pleaded for some imperial history, and Zhang Juzheng was severely punished, either in prison or dismissed from office.
During Zhang Juzheng's reign, those who were not convinced could only swallow their anger, after all, Zhang Juzheng was too powerful, so strong that even the emperor did not dare to contradict him, and they couldn't afford to provoke him at all.
And once Zhang Juzheng died, it would be a tree that fell and scattered, so everyone also fell into the well together.
Zhang Juzheng did nothing wrong in rectifying the rule of officials, all of which were 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, then the fate of the Zhang family would not be so sad. 】
[However, it is impossible not to offend people if we want to reform, and the price of reform is to sacrifice the interests of some people to create greater benefits, which is worthy of affirmation.
In the first ten years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng's image was glorious and majestic, with sufficient treasury, grain and grass, changing the old trend of the previous dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty radiated new vitality.
It is precisely because of Zhang Juzheng's reform that Wanli has the capital to neglect the government, otherwise the demise of the Ming Dynasty may be earlier. 】
[The reason why Zhang Juzheng was attacked by the group is actually related to his personal life style. 】
[It is precisely because Zhang Juzheng's life is very corrupt that many people can't admire him, and even belittles and even slanders his merits because of this. 】
