In June of the 10th year of Wanli (1582), Zhang, a famous minister of Ming Dynasty and the first assistant of Wanli Cabinet, died of illness. Emperor Wanli of Ming Shenzong was very sad, and ordered that the book "Da Ming Hui Ji", which had been painstakingly produced for the Ming Dynasty, be reburied. At the same time, he gave nine altars and a pillar country, and Wen ordered senior officials of the Royal Guards and the prison army to be buried with him.

(Zhang) and the pawn, the emperor quit the dynasty, and the Oracle offered nine altars, depending on the Lord. Juzheng first filled in six burdens and entered the Zhongji Temple University in GATT; With nine loads, he gave me a python suit and entered Zuozhu country, with a son of Shang Baocheng; Take the big wedding as an example, it has increased the age of Lu Baishi, taking recording thousands of children's clothes as the command; Twelve, plus a teacher; With the victory of Liaodong, I entered a surname, and I benefited from the age of 200 stone. The son entered the same knowledge under the guidance of the commander. So, he presented Zhu Guo and Wen Zhong together, and ordered the four products Jing Qing, Jinyitang Shangguan and Silitai to be taken into custody and buried. -History of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 2 1311

Zhang sheng is a pillar of the country and dies a loyal minister. Zhang Da reached the peak of civil servants in past dynasties. He was Zuo's teacher before his death, and the son of a teacher was an official. No one in North Korea can match him. I wonder how many people envy and hate him. He assisted Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli, to ascend to the throne and tried to govern Daming. Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager usually call Zhang or Mr. Zhang to show their respect.

The plaques sent by Emperor Wanli in Zhangjiazhong were all inscribed by the emperor himself: "You are a salt plum" and "You are a boat", praising Zhang Da. On the eve of Zhang's death, Emperor Wanli gave Zhang such a title as "Mr. Zhang Taiyue", which shows how much the emperor loved Zhang. This relationship between monarch and minister can be said to be a beautiful talk through the ages.

On the fourth day after Zhang died, the court changed. , a university student in Wuyingdian and a minister of rites recommended by Zhang, was impeached by seven famous ministers, including those who were framed and deposed by Emperor Wanli. This is not an emergency, but a premeditated event. This person was recommended to the cabinet by Zhang before his death, and his official career marked the beginning of the end of Zhang era.

This is just the first wave. Soon Zhang's old comrade-in-arms also fell, and a small bag began to come. Some people began to impeach Zhang and impeach Zhang. In the tenth year of Wanli (1852), in December, Yang Si, the suggestion writer, impeached Zhang to bully the Lord and seize the party, and so on. So Emperor Wanli ordered Zhang's home to be copied and his palace title cut off. And Zhang also narrowly escaped being whipped. Family members starved to death or were exiled,

It is good for the emperor's heart to stay in the right place and accumulate more. To say that the official illegally sealed us and illegally occupied power has offended the seal to save us. The newcomer jumped in and attacked the Rightists. The imperial edict was issued to seize Zhuguo and a surname, and then to seize posthumous title. Those who are quoted in the right place are exhausted. -History of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 2 1311

At this time, just half a year after Zhang's death, Zhang fell from the sky, from "Mr. Taiyue" in the emperor's mouth to "rogue". Tian Feng said that there are three main reasons for such great changes. One is to find Zhang, and the other is that Emperor Wanli is greedy for money. The third is to stabilize North Korea.

The next day, Feng said that he would show you the details.

First of all, go to Zhang to transform Zhang. Although the young emperor Zhu Yijun was assisted, he did not find a suitable position for the emperor. Although the emperor is his own student, he is also a monarch. There are still differences between the monarch and the minister, but Zhang didn't pay attention to these, which embarrassed the emperor. There is such a record.

Once when the little emperor was reading The Analects of Confucius and Emerging Times, his father mispronounced the words "color is like a man", and Zhang suddenly swore at him behind his back, saying that he was "Bo", which made people around him feel shocked and frightened. From then on, he became afraid of Zhang-Ming Shi. Jiangling handle management bureau.

Zhang left a shadow on the young emperor. Even if the queen mother sees the little emperor doing something wrong or disobedient, she will say, "Mr. Zhang smells it. What can I do?" At this time, the little emperor became more and more afraid of Zhang. Outside the imperial court, Zhang was in charge of state affairs. In the palace, the queen mother and the eunuch looked at the little emperor, and Zhang and the three of them formed an alliance. The emperor has little real power.

When he was in power, he found that Zhang didn't have to do anything. He couldn't do anything. It seems that Zhang is the emperor, and all ministers in North Korea are subordinate to Zhang. Zhang is the only voice above the imperial court. It is unbearable for any emperor to drive him away if he doesn't listen. However, Zhang's henchmen were all over the court, and the emperor could do nothing. When the emperor was young, eunuchs found that the articles about Iho in the history books were almost destroyed by the emperor when sorting out the books he had read, which showed the little emperor's fear of Zhang.

After Zhang died of illness, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he found that things were not like that at all. Although Zhang is dead, his influence is still there, and it still exists in this court, and it will even continue.

"Yu Wei is still here, and he is also called Mr. Tai Shi!" -"Ming History". Jiangling Handle Administration Bureau "

Although Zhang is no longer above the imperial court, his influence is still there. The person he promoted is still there. Emperor Wanli attributed these people to the "Jiangling Party" dominated by Zhang Yi Party. These people are all promoted by Zhang, which can be said to be the embodiment of Zhang. In addition, many people hold high positions, such as Sheng Pan, Wang Zhuan, the official assistant minister, and the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. These people are all promoted or recommended by Zhang, and they are with them with a strong imprint.

Although Zhang was dead, they were living Zhang, which made Emperor Wanli very disgusted. This country is his country and Zhang and Zhang are not allowed to exist. So, first of all, take Zhang's spokesman, first take the big eunuch, and then take Sheng Pan. Although Wang Zhuan was impeached and we were saved, all these people were dismissed, and all those people quoted in Ming History were deleted. After such a rectification, Emperor Wanli finally took power and completed his trip to Zhang, but Zhang could no longer restrain him, and his first goal was achieved. Then he began to liquidate Zhang himself, depriving him of all his honors before or after his death. The bonfire became smelly shit, Zhang's eldest son was forced to die, and even the emperor had to whip Zhang's body. Finally, he wanted to forget it. After all, he still contributed a lot to assisting the emperor and could not whip the body.

It is recorded that Zhang's contribution is meritorious, and then his authoritarianism is disastrous. It can be seen that Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was going to Zhang to reduce Zhang's influence.

(Zhang) Deep thinking, smart and wise. And praised the government, determined to have independent ambitions. When the country is suspicious, the master is in the first place, in charge of major affairs, urging the upper levels to abide by the laws of their ancestors and listen to their opinions carefully. In the past ten years, the accommodation at sea has been eliminated, and the four barbarians, cloth and clothes, and Taicang millet can last for several years. The temple has accumulated more than four million yuan, making it a gentleman's virtue, restraining money, passing strict examinations, consolidating its name, clearing postal services, clearing land and acres, and inquiring about economic talents. I cherish his partiality and avoid it. I am petty and easy to gain, muzzle the official and rely on faith. I only think that he has won a good impression and his roots have been broken. Authoritarianism shakes the Lord, and disasters sprout and multiply. No wonder he died a few days ago and was humiliated. "-"A Record of Ming Shenzong "

Second, Emperor Wanli was more greedy for money. In fact, Emperor Wanli is really short of money, and the library is short of a lot. His younger brother Wang Lu wants to get married, but he also wants to go to San Francisco. These all need money, and the emperor is waiting for money to buy rice. This man is poor and can do anything. Before that, Emperor Wanli had tasted the sweetness and got a lot of money when copying Feng.

To tell the truth, I went back and learned that the two men had a cross talk, saying that their treasure exceeded abundance. The emperor was very moved. The left and right sides are also immersed in the words of protecting evil, while the four-dimensional master Li Zhiji talks about Xu Jue and the crime of adultery. The emperor banned, detained and ordered prison. Paul Chen was guaranteed to live in Nanjing, and he made the best use of his family's gold, silver and jewelry wealth-Ming History (volume 2 13, biography11).

And, Zhang, and known as the troika of the Ming Dynasty. Li Taihou said nothing about it. Does Zhang have a huge sum of money? If the family has so much money, Zhang will only be richer than him. He has whatever he wants. At that time, an imperial censor named Yang Keli wrote, "The late university student Zhang stole the wasteland of Liao country, so please investigate it strictly"? Besides, Princess Liao also said that all their money was in Zhang's pocket at that time.

It is suggested that Yang can reply to the theory that Ju Zheng is guilty, which means that Ju Zheng constructed the constitution of Shu Ren, Liaoning. "Prison Rescue" Princess Shu Ren defended herself for her negligence: "Shu Ren has a lot of money, and she already knows that she has come to the right place." -History of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 2 1311

In good order, that's easy. You covet the money, and it shouldn't be given to you. It should be my emperor's. Emperor Wanli asked the Royal Guards to copy Zhang's home, which made the chicken fly and the dog jump. How much money did you finally get from the Zhang family? It's two hundred gold, more than ten thousand platinum. He is still dissatisfied with these. At that time, he wanted the Zhang family to confess that there was money outside. His eldest son finally said that he had 300 thousand gold, which led to his being beaten to death.

Won two thousand gold and more than one hundred thousand platinum. His eldest son, director of the Ministry of Rites, was so punished that he sent 300,000 gold, including jade, Zhuan Xu and Fu Zuozhou, and hanged himself. -History of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 2 1311

The money finally went into the treasury of Emperor Wanli, saying that Emperor Wanli was greedy for money. Whenever I gave the treasure of my property to the emperor, Emperor Wanli was very happy.

"Supreme calls me son, and you will like me every time you look at it." -Biography of Li Zhi in Ming Dynasty

In the last ten thousand years, the widespread distribution of mine supervision tax has made it easier to pass the proof of extortion nationwide. Mr. Meng Sen pointed out: "The emperor's rare products have never been owned by the emperor." . So Wanli's greed is rare among emperors. He got a lot of money from there, and thought he could get a lot of money from Zhang, so he copied Zhang's home, which is also reasonable. After all, you are dead, so I am afraid of what you do.

Third, stabilize North Korea.

What is the relationship between stabilizing North Korea and liquidating Zhang? It matters, and it matters a lot! When Zhang was in office, the cabinet had become the actual administrative center, and six departments were completely obedient to him. For those who dared to violate Zhang, Zhang, who was arrogant, wanted to take office and dismiss from office. Now that Zhang is dead, these people began to turn over old scores. No one likes Zhang. In order to stabilize the court, Emperor Wanli must do something. On the one hand, taking the dead Zhang can deter those who wholeheartedly follow Zhang, on the other hand, it also makes those people panic. This is also a kind of imperial mentality, which was originally taught by Zhang to Emperor Wanli, but was accidentally applied to Zhang himself.

After Wanli copied Zhang's home, Zhang's guilt was completely settled:

"Zhang slandered San Francisco, suppressed the official, and sheltered me. Privately occupy the wasteland in Liao, pretend to measure and cover the land, and stir up the sea. Authoritarian and chaotic politics, ignoring negative interests and seeking national disloyalty. I should be a coffin and a slaughtered body. I have served for many years, and I am not bound by law. Zhang Juyi, Zhang, Zhang Shun, and Zhang Shu all belong to Iraq, making the smoky land drive away the army. " -"Ming History". Jiangling Handle Administration Bureau "

This reformer of the Ming Dynasty, who delayed the demise of the Ming Dynasty, was finally condemned by his student emperor and became a stinking piece of shit. In the second year of Apocalypse (1622), Emperor Apocalypse was reinstated. However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was also heading for extinction. Emperor Wanli died 36 years after the teacher was liquidated, leaving a mess in the Ming Dynasty. Some people even say that the Ming Dynasty died in Wanli.
