Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The Enemy

In the fifth year of Wanli (1577), the most severe test in Zhang Juzheng's life came because of a seemingly irrelevant event. In this year, Zhang Juzheng received a sad news - his father died. Zhang Wenming was not very promising all his life, but he had such a promising child. Although he did not help his son, but caused a lot of trouble (this person is domineering in the local area and has a bad reputation), but anyway, he has a child like this. You can also smile at Jiuquan. But he never thought that his own death would make life worse for his son Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng's father is dead!When the news came, there was a stir in the city, because the opportunity to show loyalty had come.Countless officials came to the door one after another, crying and praying, and then walked out with snot and tears, and finally said a few words "sorry and change", and it was over, and the work was over.

This is not surprising. Since ancient times, if an official dies, he will naturally come to pay his respects in an empty alley, and the door will be full of guests. It is more uncomfortable for those who come to the door than the death of his own family, but you have to believe that if you die yourself, you will die. Few people will come to the door. Regarding this, Zhang Juzheng was also very clear. Although he was very sad about his father's death, at this moment, what he was thinking about in his mind was another question. The name of this question is Ding You. In China at that time, Zhang Juzheng was almost invincible. He was not afraid of the emperor, ministers, or scholars' comments, and he was extremely fierce.

But he is still only an approximation, because he still has an obstacle that cannot be overcome-the ancestral system. The so-called ancestral system refers to the system and rules of the ancestors. Although you are very good, even better than the emperor, but you are not as good as the dead emperor. The rules set hundreds of years ago, you can't do anything good. Ding You is the ancestral system. Specifically, if the parents of an official of the court die, no matter what official or position the person is in, he must return to his ancestral home to guard the system for 27 months from the day he learns of the funeral. This is called Ding You.After the expiration, you can return to the court as an official, which is called recovery.

This system seems a bit inhumane. Officials who do a good job are wiped out at once, and no one cares about the things they are responsible for. But this system has always been unshakable. No matter how troublesome it is, successive emperors have highly praised it and supported it. It's extremely refined. Because according to common sense in sociology, only where filial sons are born will there be loyal ministers. Think about it, if a person is not even loyal to his father, how can he be expected to be loyal to the boss (emperor)? But the corrupt officials naturally don’t do it. After my father died, I was already very sad. I just wanted to turn my grief into greed and get some money to comfort my helpless soul. It's too inhumane for the economic interests!

So many people began to take advantage of loopholes. Didn’t you stipulate that the calculation should start from the day when the news of the death was learned? Then I will conceal the news of the death and treat it as if the person is still alive. Dead, I didn't report it, that's because Dad has always lived in my heart. Of course, once or twice is understandable. After a long time, the court stopped doing it. Since Ming Yingzong, it has officially established a project to crack down on false reports and concealed reports. It stipulates that if the father dies and does not report, all officials will be removed civil.

In this way, the corrupt officials have no choice but to pray day and night that their father can last for a few more years, at least wait until he has enough money before passing away with a smile, and then he can get more paper money to send to you. But there is also one group exception, that is the army, leading soldiers to fight, there is absolutely no way out, you can’t go to battle just now, the news comes, you call stop: stop fighting, wait for me to go back to my father to guard twenty-seven Let's come again in a few months, see you at the old place, never break up. Zhang Juzheng is not a soldier, so naturally he cannot enjoy this preferential treatment, and his reform has just begun to improve. If he leaves, no one will take care of this big mess. Gotta beat someone up.

So he was left with the only option - Duoqing. The so-called duoqing refers to people who are too urgent to leave, and after the emperor's instructions, they resume their duties and start work amidst all kinds of grief.Because it seems inhumane to pull people back forcibly (generally without resistance) in pain, it is named "Duoqing". However, Zhang Juzheng is not willing to take this path, of course, not because it is "very inhumane". In fact, before him, some people had had similar experiences, such as Yang Rong in the famous "Three Yangs", and Li Xian who helped Yu Qian avenge him, they were all "very inhumane" before. Apart from scolding someone, there was nothing wrong with it, but during the Jiajing period, seizing one's feelings really became a very inhumane thing. It is not as good as a beast.

The reason for such a big change is thanks to a filial son, whose name is Yang Tinghe. Speaking of which, this brother Yang's energy is really great, it's not enough to make a fuss for three dynasties, and he has to toss others after he dies.When he was in Zhengde, his father died. The emperor said, Mr. Yang, don’t leave, stay and help me. He said no. I was very sad and must go back. As a result, he went back and forth several times. From the ninth year of Zhengde (1514) to the 12th year of Zhengde (1517), this man was absent from work for three years before returning to work.This is going to be left for now, and he has already packed up and went home.

Because of his great reputation and being a positive example, from then on, senior officials of the imperial court died of their parents, and they dared not say that they were seductive if they were killed.After going all the way like this, Zhang Juzheng was finally cheated. Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to win, because Feng Bao didn't want him to go, the emperor didn't want him to go, the emperor's mother didn't want him to go, and of course, most importantly, he didn't want to go either. It took more than 30 years of hard work to get into this position, and the devil wants to leave.

Although Duoqing is more troublesome, as long as you do some tricks, it will be fine. So the old trick came into play very quickly. In October of the fifth year of Wanli (1577), Zhang Juzheng, who was in great pain, asked to go home to guard the system. Two days later, the emperor replied - no. A day later, Zhang Juzheng wrote a letter again, stating that he must go back, and the emperor replied again - definitely not. At the same time, many ministers also wrote letters one after another, expressing that Zhang Juzheng must not leave, and their words were fierce, as if the earth would end if Zhang Juzheng left, which can be described as well-intentioned.

That's enough, it's time to stop the trick here, and it's a waste of paper to continue. It's over, it's over, it's all over, dry your tears (if any), and go again! I watched Yan Song fall, Xu Jie stepped down, and Gao Gong, Liu Tai, and He Xinyin were eliminated with my own hands. No one in the world can shake my position. For this point, Zhang Juzheng has always been very confident, but the facts have proved that he was wrong, quite wrong, and the real challenge will start from here. In October of the fifth year of Wanli (1577), Wu Zhongxing was edited by the Imperial Academy, and Zhao Yongxian was reviewed by the Imperial Academy to impeach Zhang Juzheng for seizing love. Editing is the seventh rank, and the review is from the seventh rank. That is to say, these are two grassroots cadres who can do copying work. They are not even qualified to go to court. Zhang Juzheng's former enemies were either high-ranking court officials or The boss of the underworld, the leader of the academic world, and especially those who are not beaten, will collapse at the touch of a touch. Such two small characters, it is said that Mr. Zhang can crush them to death with a single finger. However, it was just such two small characters that almost wiped out Mr. Zhang. Because although these two brothers are small officials, they have a special status: they are both Zhang Juzheng's disciples. And I did some research, only to be surprised to find that Brother Wu and Brother Zhao were Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing (1571), and they were classmates with Liu Tai, who fired the first shot before. This can only be blamed on Mr. Zhang himself. Picking left and right, just picking so many white-eyed wolves, can be regarded as a problem with himself. Now it's alright, back then there was only one idiot (Liu Tai), and it was already in a mess, but this time there were two, so it can't be dealt with, because one idiot plus another idiot is not equal to two, but a idiot squared. But before Zhang Juzheng could react, something happened again. On the second day after the idiots attacked, Wailang Aimu, a member of the criminal department, and Shen Sixiao, the principal, also wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Juzheng, hoping that he would leave early and go home to fulfill his filial piety. When Zhang Juzheng saw these two murderous memorials, he finally realized that the real crisis was approaching him step by step. After more than 30 years of fighting, he used all means to eliminate almost all enemies and sat on the highest throne. However, when he ruled the world, he discovered a new, more powerful The enemy has appeared. Those ministers who had been obedient and obedient seemed to have suddenly changed their positions overnight and became his opponents, not just one, but a group of them, and their reasons for attacking were various, including economic issues, style issues, seductive issues, and methods. There are countless letters of impeachment, private discussions, and even people posting reactionary slogans on the streets to directly attack Zhang Juzheng. For all this, Zhang Juzheng was surprised, but not surprised, because he knew very well that it was himself who brought these enemies, specifically, his memorial five years ago. Five years ago, when Zhang Juzheng sent the memorial to the emperor, he handed over his ideals for reform, but also included a conspiracy. Because in that memorial, there are these words: "Where there is a delay from the case examiner, the Ministry will raise it; if there are those who are tolerant in each department, the ministers will raise it; if there are those in the Six Divisions who are tolerant of concealment, the ministers will raise it." This sentence means that if the local officials are not good at handling affairs, the central ministries will manage them, and if the central government ministries are not good at doing things, they will be managed by the six supervisory organs, and the six supervisory organs will be in charge, and I will manage them! Things go bad because of this sentence. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, it was normal for the ministries of the central government to manage the localities, and it was normal for the ministries to be supervised by Shizhong and the censor. Two hundred years ago, when Zhu Yuanzhang established the state organization, he considered that the prime minister had too much power, so he abolished the prime minister and handed over the power to the six ministries. In order to avoid people playing ghosts, six subjects were set up in the six departments, which became the later six subjects. The leader of the sixth department is called Dugeshizhong, commonly known as section chief, and there are not many subordinates. Except for the Ministry of War, which has twelve people, the other five departments are all within ten people.Moreover, the rank of this group of people is also low. The section chief is only seventh rank, so there is no need to mention the people below. But their power is so great that it is unimaginable. For example, if the minister orders something to be done, if the section chief disagrees, he will return the order to the minister and ask him to modify it. If the modification is not satisfactory, he will return it. until satisfied. Not to mention ministers, even some of the emperor's will can be dictated to in matters, so although these people are of low rank, their status is not low. Every time the minister goes to see them, he has to give them some advice Courtesy, when others sit down at a meal, they can run to sit on an equal footing with the minister, and name names, very arrogant. This is probably the case in the matter, and the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is even more serious. This group of people finds faults all day long, from conspiracy and rebellion to occupation of roads, defecation and defecation, as long as it is a matter, they can manage it. The six ministries are of high rank, low in power, small in rank of officials, and powerful in power, and no one can overwhelm anyone else. Under this kind of genius creativity, the Ming Dynasty has been in power for more than two hundred years, and it has always been peaceful. changed. From Zhang Juzheng's point of view, whether it's the Six Departments, whether it's in the middle of the matter, or whether it's the censor, it's all under my control. Whatever I say, you all do, don't quarrel. Because he understands very well that mutual restriction and mutual restraint are certainly a democratic way, but democracy requires costs. After explaining one thing, you say a sentence and the other says a sentence, and the argument is upside down, and the words are plausible. In fact, they don't understand business at all. As a result, they can't do anything for ten days and a half months. Zhang Juzheng has always hated these people. So he thinks that everyone else should stand aside and find the smartest person (himself) to direct, and everyone can follow suit, there is no need to waste saliva.Therefore, during his reign, even the six subjects and the censor, who usually supervise others, had to assess their work performance. Unfortunately, the ministers didn't think so. In their view, Zhang Juzheng was a rule breaker and an unprecedented dictator.Since the death of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, they have lived a democratic life for more than a hundred years. They are used to cursing and spitting at the emperor for nothing. However, this person is more terrifying than any emperor in the past. If things go on like this, the consequences will be real Unbelievable. So no matter what he wants to do, how he does it, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, for the sake of the power in our hands, we must completely solve him! A well-planned conspiracy surfaced. What is intriguing is that among the four people who attacked Zhang Juzheng, two of them were his students, and what is even more incomprehensible is that none of these four people is a speech officer! The officials who should speak did not speak, but a few scribes from the Hanlin Academy and minor officials from the Sixth Ministry appeared. The reason was simple-to avoid suspicion, and the students scolded on the first day, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment followed suit the next day. Come on, if they say they have a good heart, I wouldn't believe it if they killed them. So it is still the same old saying, whether it is the issue of Duoqing or the issue of style, it is all false, only the issue of power is true. Zhang Juzheng couldn't understand the thinking of these people. In any case, I just wanted to do something, so why did I have trouble with me? But after a short period of depression, Zhang Juzheng regained his calm. He realized that a huge opposition force was secretly surging. Reasons are useless, because these people are not practical people. Their only specialty is to put on a dignified face, talk about benevolence and morality, and attack others with spit to achieve their own goals. To this group of people who want to be whores and set up memorial archways, just one word-hit! After Zhang Juzheng reported the incident, the emperor immediately issued an order to execute the court stick, that is, spanking, on the four people who dared to submit a letter. Mr. Zhang's original intention was probably to teach these people a lesson, but the result was far beyond his expectations. After the spanking order came down, those who had been silent couldn't sit still anymore, and jumped out one after another to sign a petition and write a letter collectively. But among the group of people who joined in the fun, there were also two more serious people named Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing. These two brothers were the chief assistants of the imperial court later on, so I won’t say much here, but at that time, Wang Xijue was a bachelor in charge of the Imperial Academy, and Shen Shixing was the deputy minister of the personnel department, so they could only be regarded as juniors. Although their seniority is small, they do things with great skill. They just sign their name and scold them, but they are so passionate that they even ran to Zhang Juzheng's house in person, begging for mercy face to face. Mr. Zhang didn't say to see him, but he happened to be seriously ill. The two adults waited for a long time but didn't see anyone, so they had to go back and forth from wherever they were. Shen Shixing went back, but Wang Xijue was extra careful, he sneaked in and saw Zhang Juzheng when he was not prepared. Seeing people broke in, Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to work while sick. Wang Xijue didn't talk nonsense, and cut straight to the point: I hope Mr. Zhang Juzheng will forgive you, and don't beat those four people. Zhang Juzheng sighed: "That's what the emperor wanted to hit when he was angry, it's useless if you beg me!" This is true, the emperor was indeed very angry, and he was indeed the one who gave the order. I believe this kind of words can be used to deceive two or three-year-old children, but Mr. Wang Xijue... is already forty-four. "Even if the emperor is angry, it is because of you!" This is Wang Xijue's realization. Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng had nothing to say, and the scene suddenly fell into silence. Seeing this scene, Wang Xijue felt that there might be a joke, and was about to take the opportunity to set fire again, but what happened next was beyond his wildest dreams. The silent Zhang Juzheng stood up suddenly, and pulled out a knife beside him. Wang Xijue's soul was blown away immediately. It is estimated that the other party was furious and was about to take a knife on himself. Just when he was at a loss, an even more unbelievable thing happened: Ninety-five supreme, extremely proud, Mr. Zhang, who is better than the emperor, plopped - knelt down for him. Before Wang Xueshi could catch his breath, Zhang Xueshi put the knife on his neck, shouting as he did it: "The emperor wants to keep me, you want to drive me away, what do you want from me!" In the face of countless people with ulterior motives and such a difficult situation, Zhang Juzheng has been struggling to support him. He may be good at scheming, he may have dug holes and harmed others, but in this filthy place, if he wants to survive, he must Realizing the dream of saving the country and helping the people is the only choice. Now his patience has finally reached its peak. Zhang Juzheng knelt in front of Wang Xijue and let out a hoarse cry: "You kill me! You kill me!" Wang Xijue was stunned, he didn't expect that the normally unattainable Grand Master Zhang would have such a helpless side, he was at a loss in his desperation, so he saluted in a hurry and retreated. Zhang Juzheng vented, and Wang Xijue was shocked, but after making a fuss, everyone seemed to have forgotten the four brothers who were going to be spanked, so those who should be spanked had to be spanked, and none of them could be missed. On October 23rd in the fifth year of Wanli (1577), the court staff was officially implemented. Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian had sixty court staffs, and Ai Mu and Shen Si had eighty court staffs. From this point of view, the teacher-student relationship is still very important. You know, at the critical moment, you can top 20 boards! This is roughly the case before and after, and the process of spanking seems to be insignificant, but many people have overlooked a very interesting point-the result of spanking. Two people were in the same place, suffered the same beating, but had completely different endings. In this court stick, the two students of Zhang Juzheng showed completely opposite characteristics in terms of fighting ability. After Wu Zhongxing was beaten, he almost died on the spot. He also wore a cane all his life. But Zhao Yongxian was different. It is said that even though he was bruised all over after being beaten and his vitality was seriously injured, he was obviously able to carry much more. After going home and lying down for more than a month, he was able to get up and run. This is a miracle. How could there be such a big difference between two people who were also beaten?To explain this problem, we must use a scientific attitude and a rigorous spirit to analyze in detail this unique invention of the Ming Dynasty-spanking. Tingzhang, also known as spanking, is a famous specialty of the Ming Dynasty. In public, the trousers are stripped off, revealing the white buttocks. After a few sticks, the skin is ripped apart. This is the impression many people have of spanking. However, I can tell you responsibly that spanking is not so simple. In fact, it is a technical job. According to the analysis of the principles of ergonomics, the court rod in the Ming Dynasty was an extremely harsh punishment, because it was different from being beaten at home. Your father beat you with nothing more than a broom, a small stick, or something inhumane, and at most it was a belt. But the court rod is different. Although it also uses a stick, it is a big stick. It is really frightening to think that a big stick with a thick bowl mouth will land on your buttocks at an acceleration of N meters per second, so even the saint said If you encounter a small stick, you will endure it, and if you encounter a big stick, you will run away (the small stick will accept, and the big stick will walk away). The people who carried out the imperial staff were basically Jin Yiwei. This group of people usually exercised regularly, carried out sports activities, and it was not difficult to open a buttocks, not to mention opening monuments and gravels. Therefore, after a comprehensive analysis, we have come to the following conclusions, if there is no accident, twenty court rods are definitely enough to beat people to death. But all along, accidents have been happening all the time. Some people can't be killed with a hundred sticks, and there are many who can be finished with one stick. In the final analysis, it is also due to the great wisdom of our people. Looking at the world, in terms of IQ alone, it is believed that groups that can compete with the Chinese have not yet been born, and the most prominent performance of people with high IQs in my country is that they find their way out of places where there is no way. Whether to spank or not is a matter for superiors, but how to do it is my business. In order to flexibly grasp the essence of the court staff and ensure that one hit will kill you, or you will not die after a hundred hits. The method is as follows: (Those who are interested can learn one or two, but I am not responsible for the consequences caused by this) Find a brick (any type), put a piece of rice paper on it (the kind that breaks at one point), hit the rice paper with a stick, if the rice paper breaks, start again, keep practicing like this, so that the rice paper will not break, and the brick will not break. Broken to the highest level. If you can reach this level, you can basically become a teacher. If you have given you money, you will be beaten with rice paper. The skin is torn to pieces. In fact, it is a soft tissue injury. When you go home and apply medicine, you can swim when you get up. If someone has nothing to do with photos and has personal grudges, then it is not surprising that he will die with a brick, the skin will be intact, and the inside will bleed profusely. By the way, at that time, another skilled trade had a similar practice, that is, the beheading executioner, which is also a unique skill. The operation method is just the opposite of the spanking. Find a flat piece of meat, and then put a piece of rice paper on it. Chop the rice paper with a knife, mince the meat underneath, and keep the rice paper above it undamaged. Practicing this skill is also a forethought. If you give money, you will end up with a knife. There will be no pain. If there is a lot of money, then there is something to say, as long as it is not a major crime of treason, and there is no need to verify the head, and then bribe the coroner, so that the head will not fall, and you can play tricks: slashed on the neck with a knife, it looks like flesh and blood Fuzzy, in fact, the upper large blood vessels were not damaged at all, and they were taken back for treatment for two days. Except for the sequelae of a crooked neck, there were basically no defects. This is the real technical content. Compared with those who beheaded and spanked, the so-called "paodingjieniu" is really childish.It can't be killed even if it is pulled to the execution ground, and it's okay to be beaten to pieces. This is technology. It is a truth that technology determines benefits. So for a long time, Jin Yiwei, who spanked his ass, practiced his skills day and night. After all, people rely on this skill to earn a living. If you don’t work hard, you can’t do it. But as time goes by, the court is not a fool. Corresponding hidden rule passwords have also been developed, namely: hit, hit really, and hit with heart. The so-called beating is just meaning, don't take it seriously, just fool around a little bit and you'll be fine. But if you really fight, you really fight, how to do it, how to do it, whether you can stand it, it depends on your physique. The most powerful thing is to hit with your heart. As long as you use this password, you will basically hit to death, and you must not be soft. These three passwords were originally unspoken rules, but later they became public orders after they were played a lot. Not only did they have to be clearly stated, but they were also publicly announced by the prison officer before they were used, so as to increase the psychological pressure on those who were beaten.On the orders of Zhao Yongxian and Wu Zhongxing's court staff, it clearly stated that they must fight. Since it was a real beating, there is nothing to say. Although someone gave Jin Yiwei money and expressed love, the order is very clear after all. If it is too light, maybe he will be beaten next time. Compared with money, it is still Your ass is more important. But the problem is still unresolved. Since they are both hard fighters, scholars, and with the same physique, why did Wu Zhongxing lose half his life, but Zhao Yongxian was so calm? The reason is very simple. Zhao Yongxian is fat, while Wu Zhongxing is very thin. In terms of boxing, these two are not in the same kilogram class. Naturally, it can only be carried by bones. This result also vividly tells us that although fat people are not very good at finding wives and doing sports, sometimes, having a good fat body can still come in handy. After the beating was not over, Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian were carried back to their hometown overnight with the door panels (not eligible to sit in a sedan chair) because they were dismissed from official positions. This ended the farce of the students scolding the teacher. Of course, no matter what their motives are, whether they are instigated or not, these two gentlemen never said a soft word from the beginning to the end, and they persisted to the end. This alone is enough to be admired. But in the whole incident, the most frightening thing was not Zhang Juzheng, nor these two tough guys, but a woman. When Zhao Yongxian and Wu Zhongxing were beaten, many officials who sympathized with them were talking about it. After the beating, Wang Xijue rushed up desperately, hugged Wu Zhongxing and cried bitterly, but few people noticed. At the same time, there was another woman who rushed up - Zhao Yongxian's wife. But the sister-in-law's behavior was unexpected. After taking care of her husband initially, she began to collect one thing at the scene - Zhao Yongxian's meat. Because of the beatings too hard, although Zhao Yongxian was a fat man, a lot of meat was knocked off his legs. Mrs. Zhao found the biggest piece and took it home. home. The reason why this shrew did such a sensational act is because in her opinion, being beaten is an extremely glorious thing, and she wants to leave a souvenir to show her never-compromising attitude towards Zhang Juzheng, and take advantage of this special piece of land. Carry out glorious traditional education for future generations—although your father was beaten, the beating was glorious and great! After spanking the buttocks of four people, they couldn't stop beating right and wrong. Since then, the number of people attacking Zhang Juzheng has continued unabated. Why don't they go home to go to the funeral? They also said things like beasts are inferior, cursing and cursing, and finally scolded the emperor. up. Although he is only fifteen years old, the emperor is already a sensible person. He can see very clearly that those who yell at people have never done anything except press people with big hats, while Zhang Juzheng, who has been working diligently, has What is the reason for being attacked by a crowd! ? If you dare to embarrass my Mr. Zhang (the emperor's daily name), you will be abolished! Emperor Wanli immediately issued the most severe order since he took the throne: Anyone who dares to attack Zhang Juzheng again will be shot to death! Facts have proved that in the group of people who swarmed up, the good guys are a minority, and the bad guys are the majority. Originally, cursing is for personal gain. Since scolding will cost money (decapitation), let's stop. Zhang Juzheng won another victory, the opponents died down one after another, and the world was quiet. But he knew very well in his heart that this was just an appearance. He had done a lot of things to reform and save the precarious country and offended many people. If he was a little careless, he might be knocked down. Turn over, and then his end will be more miserable than all the previous ones. Xu Jie can retire when he is tired, and Gao Gong can go home if he resigns, but he has no choice. If he fails, he can neither retire nor go home. Because Xu Jie's enemy is only Gao Gong, Gao Gong's enemy is only him, and his enemy is all people, all people whose interests have been damaged by the reform. Yes, Mr. Zhang Juzheng, why are you making such a fuss?You have climbed to the highest throne, you have overwhelmed all the people, you can occupy the land, gather wealth, cultivate party members, support your subordinates, as long as you don’t make trouble for everyone, no one will resist you, and no one can resist you. But you want to come up with a whip method, we can no longer fish and meat the people at will, you want to measure the land, we can't evade taxes at will, what kind of test method you want to do, we can no longer be lazy at will. Everyone is an official with vested interests. The life and death of the people has nothing to do with us. Why do you help them and torment us? Because you don't understand, I am different from you. I know that poor people are human beings, they have parents, wives and children, and they want to live. I know that I have an extremely strong will, my fighting spirit will not fail, my will will not be shaken, even if I am the enemy of the whole world, I will never compromise. I know that after decades, you have abandoned the passion and ambition of the year, and you have nothing but official positions and fame and fortune, but I am different. Because after countless bloody storms and ups and downs in the officialdom, I still retain my ideals. I believe that there is justice and justice in this world. I believe that in this world, all people, high or low, have the right to live. This is my ideal, and I have never given up on it for a day for decades. This is Zhang Juzheng, a real Zhang Juzheng. In my description of him, I do not shy away from those records that seem to be not glorious. He is good at maneuvering, he is ruthless to his political opponents, he has financial problems, and he has problems with his life style. All of these may be true of. And the reason why I recorded all this truthfully is just to tell you a simple but important fact: Zhang Juzheng is a person, a real person. In this world, the fiercest person should be Comrade Superman. It is said that he comes from an alien planet. It only takes a few seconds to circle the earth. Squeezing a rock is like playing with mud. He can fly. He never takes a taxi or takes the subway when he goes out. I always change clothes in the phone booth, always wear the same uniform, and especially like to wear my underwear outside. My biggest hobby is to save the earth. I save it at least a few times a year, and everyone on the earth knows it. Yet no one thinks he's great because he's superhuman. Apart from being afraid of a few broken rocks, Superman has no weaknesses or shortcomings. He is omnipotent. He is not human at all. Zhang Juzheng is not a superman. He was born in an ordinary family. He was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. They are all ordinary people. However, it was this real person, this common man, who, with all his power, status, and wealth in his hands, pointed his gun at his companions back then, at the class that had brought him great benefits, and he destroyed Breaking the rules and harming their interests, just for an illusory concept-the country, and the common people who have nothing to do with him. So I didn't write in detail the plots that people talked about in Zhang Juzheng's life, such as rectifying the officialdom, punishing corrupt officials, working late every day, and sternly refusing to accept bribes, and stopping the corruption of relatives Behavior, the plot doesn't really matter in my opinion.
