I watched the short video of the murder, and all the murderers were thwarted.

In 1577,

Zhang Juzheng asked various localities to clear land again to prepare for the reform of the tax system.

Four years later, Zhang Juzheng began to implement a whip method.

The so-called whip method is to convert all the corvee, taxes and grain that the people have to bear into money.

This not only made it easier for the court to collect taxes, but also reduced the burden on the people.

It also significantly increased state treasury revenue.

The one-whip method was implemented on a trial basis in some places during the Jiajing period.

It was not until Zhang Juzheng's time that it was promoted nationwide.

Zhang Juzheng's reforms effectively alleviated social conflicts in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was forcibly extended for several more decades.

However, as time went by in power, he became increasingly tyrannical.

He attacked political opponents wantonly, and he even said this:

"I am not a phaser, but a photographer!"

If this sentence reaches the ears of the young emperor Wanli,

I don't know what he will think.

However, no matter how powerful Zhang Juzheng is, there is one thing that cannot be shaken, etiquette.

That is to say, in the year when Zhang Juzheng requested to clear the land,

Zhang Juzheng His father passed away, and according to the law, Zhang Juzheng had to return to his hometown to observe mourning for 27 months.

Naturally, Zhang Juzheng did not want to leave officialdom.

So, he thought of seizing love.

The so-called seizing love meant that the emperor issued an order to let Zhang Juzheng continue to work.

This was originally It was not difficult. Wanli was only 15 years old, so he could not cope with the overwhelming memorials.

So he issued an order for Zhang Juzheng to continue to stay at his post.

However, no one expected that this order would become a fuse.

It ignited the literary

They had long been very dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's tyranny. Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was not even willing to return to his hometown to observe filial piety, they were very angry.

So they brought out various sage books and principles.

They described Zhang Juzheng as heinous.

Who in Wanli had ever seen it? In this posture, Zhang Juzheng suffered a lot of scoldings and slapped everyone who wrote the letter.

However, his father died, and it was unjustifiable for him as a son not to return to his hometown to observe filial piety. So Zhang Juzheng made concessions and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety for 49 days.

This was finally settled. However

, the sequelae of this incident were very serious.

This will be revealed after Zhang Juzheng's death.

In 1582, Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill, and

Wanli issued a special decree to promote Zhang Juzheng to the rank of Zhengyipin Taishi.

He became an extremely rare civil servant living Taishi in the Ming Dynasty. Master.

This is the supreme position in the civil service hierarchy.

In the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, no one had ever received this honor during his lifetime.

Nine days later, Zhang Juzheng died.

He was 58 years old and was given the posthumous title of"Wenzhong".

The death of Zhang Juzheng , made many people sigh.

But there were also many people who celebrated in private.

When he was seriously ill, half of China was praying for him.

With his departure, the wind began to change.

The memorial that exposed Zhang Juzheng flew towards Emperor Wanli like snowflakes. Before the case,

Wanli ordered Zhang Juzheng's house to be ransacked and deprived of all the honorary titles he had received during his lifetime.

The Jinyiwei who went to ransack Zhang Juzheng's house not only looted all of Zhang Juzheng's property, but also forced Zhang Juzheng's family members to hand over the"hidden" two hundred Ten thousand taels of silver.

Zhang Juzheng’s eldest son couldn’t bear the humiliation and committed suicide.

A few lines of comments with more likes said:

【After Zhuge Liang died, Li Miao wrote to Liu Chan and said bad things about Zhuge Liang, and then he was transferred to Aduga.】

【《"General History of China" has 100 episodes, and"Zhang Juzheng's Reform" has an exclusive episode】

【Wanli is too stupid. Zhang Juzheng was his master. In ancient times, no one could tolerate the liquidation of one's benevolence after his death. Who else would want to serve him? Stupid】

【As a result, Wanli discovered that Zhang Juzheng was not greedy and could not find out Zhang Juzheng's other responsibilities. Wanli did not want to admit that Zhang Juzheng was an upright hero who served the country wholeheartedly. This would make him appear to be a petty person who repays kindness with revenge. Therefore, Wanli treated the Zhang family cruelly. In the end, There was no problem with Zhang Juzheng. Wanli gave up on himself, completely ignored the government, and locked himself in the house for more than ten years.】

【Zhang Juzheng wanted him to be a qualified emperor so much. He also knew that he did not have time to wait and accompany him slowly, but he did not expect that Wanli, who had been subjected to his rigorous education, would directly choose to"show up""……Until the end, Emperor Wanli, do you really hate him that much?】

【The small structure of Emperor Wanli is really beyond my imagination. The more I read his historical materials, the more I feel that he is insignificant and narrow-minded.】

【I don’t know what kind of person Zhang Juzheng is, but when he became the chief minister, he was in a mess. It’s not like he was gone for more than two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty. In two years, the national treasury went from a deficit to a balance of more than five million. His courage in reform offended many royal family members. He was liquidated after his death because his reforms offended too many people and he was with the wrong emperor Wanli]
