Speaking of Zhang Juzheng, Wang Lang's feelings for him are that he was domineering before he died and pitied after death!
In fact, what causes sow what effects.
After Zhang Juzheng's death, in order to crack down on his new policies, his colleagues in the DPRK and China launched the "Anti-Zhang Movement", which triggered the liquidation of him by the Wanli Emperor, which was actually inseparable from his monopoly on the cabinet power and the implementation of the dictatorship of the first auxiliary politics during his lifetime.
"With the imperial history outside, it is often lingfu and painful. When there was a small disagreement, the criticism followed, and he also asked for a long investigation. "--- History of the Ming Dynasty"
Domineering is Zhang Juzheng's way of being an official. But in this way, it naturally caused many colleagues to be dissatisfied with his first assistant.
When you Zhang Juzheng was alive, you only promised you, and when you died, you naturally had revenge and resentment.
However, from Zhang Juzheng's point of view, as the first assistant and with great ambitions, in daming' official field, where decadence has become a trend and inertia has become a disease, if it is not vigorous and vigorous, it is not very drastic, and it is more difficult to carry out reforms than to ascend to heaven, and the indecisiveness of those in power will not be able to achieve great things.
The question arises here, is the new policy that Zhang Ju is promoting useful? It was of great use, whether it was the examination method in the political system or the "one whip law" in the economic system, for the Ming Dynasty at that time, it was like a great drought and Ganlin, and indeed pointed out the direction for the Ming Dynasty Zhongxing.
But Zhang Juzheng is not a very perfect person, in other words, he is greedy for money, and he does not shy away from it, whether it is building a mansion in his hometown of Jiangling, or his son Kao keju, Zhang Juzheng does not have half a point of vigilance at all.
"Jiangling received the same gift from him, but it cannot be half of the plan of dividing (Yan Song)." --- Wang Shizhen's "Records of Yao Bu Yao"
Although it is not as good as Yan Song, it is also daunting.
Of course, we can think that this is Zhang Juzheng's attempt to prove to the emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces that he has no undivided thoughts after he is in a high position, and only wants to carry out the reform to the end.
However, such a character defect has become the dissatisfaction of his colleagues in the officialdom. Why can you Zhang Juzheng be undisciplined, but ask us to strictly follow the frame frame you set?
Disobedience is certain, but can only endure silently, no way, people's fists are hard!
"When there was a small disagreement, the rebuke followed, and the edict ordered it to investigate for a long time. Although the imperial history and the matter are feared and righteous, there are many unevenness in the middle. "--- Wang Shizhen's "First Auxiliary Biography Since Jiajing"
So everyone can understand why after Zhang Juzheng died, there will be so many people to attack him, how much repression, how strong the rebound!
"The reason why Gangneung was defeated was only the right to manipulate, and the control of the plutonium was too much." --- Yu Shenxing", "Gu Shan Pen Crane"
So in such an iron fist to govern the country, but there are character defects in the first assistant to do things, does anyone dare to stand up and challenge Zhang Juzheng's authority?
Wang Lang told you that yes, this person's name was Yu Maoxue, a native of Wuyuan, Huizhou, and a very honest and upright official in the Ming Nanjing Household Department.
Yu Maoxue and Zhang Juzheng are actually on the bar, in fact, there is a process.
At the beginning, Yu Maoxue was kind-hearted, he believed that as the first assistant, although the power was monopolized, at least it was reasonable, indiscriminate, "a small disagreement", it was necessary to assess others. Well, in this way, don't talk about promotion, I'm afraid that this official will have to go home and grow sweet potatoes in the end.
Therefore, he put forward a more tolerant suggestion to Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant was not done by you, and as a result, persuasion was not only useless, but also lost his official position
"Please practice leniency for Yu Maoxue in the middle of the matter, and Ju Zheng thinks that he is the wind and cuts his post." --- History of the Ming Dynasty
This is infuriating.
If you don't listen to you and suppress people, then I will complain to you.
In May of the second year of the Wanli Calendar (1574 AD), Yu Mao learned a fold and fiercely participated in Zhang Juzheng's book
"Mao Xue took the emperor's side of the drought, issued an edict to sin against himself, and repaired with the Hundred Officials. And Ju Zheng Gu Xianrui, not the minister's friendship, resists the theory of neglect. "---- History of the Ming Dynasty"
It turned out that in May of this year, there were white swallows under the eaves of the Hanlin Courtyard, and the lotus flowers in the courtyard of the cabinet actually bloomed in advance, which was auspicious in ancient times, and the emperor valued this piece the most.
Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant, of course, wanted to dedicate these good things to the emperor.
But at this time, the Wanli Emperor was still a child, and it was precisely the time to establish the Three Views, not to mention that there was no rain in the opening spring of the Ming Dynasty at this time, which meant that this year's grain preservation would become a problem.
Under such circumstances, the emperor has already made a decree, and you Zhang Juzheng actually came to engage in this set of Xiangrui, which is not to make the little emperor's plaything lose his mind!
Because of this incident, even Zhang Juzheng's partner, the eunuch Feng Bao of Si Li Jian Bingbi, severely criticized him.
"The envoy of the envoy is Ju Zhengyi: The Lord is on the year, and he cannot play well with foreign objects." --- History of the Ming Dynasty
Therefore, Yu Maoxue's participation was completely righteous, but Liang Zi was married.
It's just that Yu Maoxue should never have personally attacked Zhang Juzheng, and then the prime minister could hold the boat in his belly, but Zhang Juzheng was after all a decisive lord, and he also underestimated the Wanli Emperor's trust in Zhang Juzheng and his desire for the results of the New Deal.
In February of the third year of the Wanli Dynasty (1575 AD), Yu Maoxue played it again, putting forward a five-point exposition of "Chongdun Da, Qin Chen, Prudent Name Instrument, Guard against Discord, and Prevention of Insults", which expanded from personal attacks on Zhang Juzheng to criticism and criticism of the New Deal, which aroused the anger of the little emperor Wanli and the first assistant Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng, in particular, was even more angry.
But in essence, the reason why Yu Maoxue wanted to go to this song was not only for the new policy, but also because Zhang Ju was about to reform Daming education, reduce the number of Xiucai admissions, and be dissatisfied with the college's move.
This is the most intolerable place for Yu Maoxue.
''During the Ten Thousand Years, Zhang Ju was in charge of the country, so he reduced the number of students in the world. The inspector pursues too much, the child is enrolled, and there is only one person in a state and county, and the reduction of the killing can be deduced. ''--- History of the Ming Dynasty. Zhi 45. Election I
We know that Huizhou is the southeast of Zoulu, the literary style is prosperous, which is due to the prevalence of colleges, whether it is a public academy or a clan private school, it is a place where Huizhou's children are studying and advancing.
In Huizhou, although it does not resent business, but the imperial examination is after all the right way of Daming, the so-called "scholar, agriculture, industry and commerce", can take the road of the imperial examination is naturally the first choice.
You Zhang Juzheng came to power, good guys, directly cut the county school enrollment quota, reduce the number of Xiucai entry, this is to break the cultural context of Huizhou!
Without Xiucai, how to take the township exam to lift people? If there is no one, how can the examination be tested to be a champion, a list of eyes, a flower, and a jinshi? Why would a first assistant from a military family do this?
In ancient times, a prefecture capital spelled the comprehensive strength of the entire state capital examination for the jinshi, and according to the township party theory, it was possible to form a political force with extremely strong influence; within the prefecture, it was the comprehensive strength of the county's talent, the number of people, and the number of soldiers, which could improve the county's right to speak within the government.
The imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the only people who ruled the vast countryside of Daming were these gentry groups with meritorious names.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's educational reform, in Yu Maoxue's view, is really tolerable and intolerable!
It was just that Yu Maoxue did not expect that Zhang Juzheng was implementing the new policy, which won the hearts of the Wanli Emperor, and Daming was so big, although the governance of the country relied on Kong Sheng's disciples, but there was no shortage of those few jinshi in Huizhou.
Therefore, this time, Yu Maoxue's impeachment was kicked to the iron plate, and an article with a lot of emotion did not play any positive role, but let himself lose his official position.
However, relatively speaking, the Wanli Emperor still had a human touch on Yu Maoxue and did not punish him for the crime of arbitrarily deliberating on the government.
"Yu Maoxue's words and responsibilities, not thinking about the intention of the imperial court to exert efforts to govern, is to invite people's hearts under the pretext of Dun Dazhi... It seems that such chaotic and dangerous people should have been governed according to the law. He is an official, so he is dismissed from a lenient post for the people and will never be used. "--- Records of the Myōshin Sect. Volume 35
However, Yu Maoxue did not lose his head because he had lost his official position, but on the way home, when passing through the capital city of Huizhou, he happened to encounter the six counties of Huizhou fighting each other over the silk case, so that the local government was not quiet.
To this end, he was light and light, and he went on a "Great Interpretation of Silk Silk" to ask for the life of his hometown father and elder, and at the same time found the huizhou prefect to ask for the restoration of the previous tax payment plan of the six counties.
However, after this part of the performance was lost to Zhang Juzheng, Yu Maoxue was labeled as "two or three hao right, sitting on the landlord alliance", trying to install the source of Wuyuan's civil unrest on his head.
By this time, Yu Maoxue suddenly realized that he had overshadowed his tiger's whiskers, and Elder Zhang Ge had already killed him.
To understand this, after he returned to Wuyuan, he lectured and wrote books behind closed doors, and did not inquire about state affairs.
However, what he had been worried about had happened.
In the seventh year of the Wanli Calendar, the imperial court officially issued a decree to destroy the Tianxia Academy, and the six counties under the rule of Huizhou bore the brunt of it, and Wuyuan was even more damaged, perhaps this was Zhang Juzheng's most direct blow to the heart of Yu Maoxue, a small Liupinyan official!
"On the fifth day of the first lunar month in the spring of the seventh year, the heavenly academy was destroyed... It was Shi Shi Dafu who competed to teach, and Zhang Juzheng was particularly evil, and changed the provincial academies to public offices. Sixty-four places of the Academy were destroyed successively in Tianfu and other places. "--- the Ming Tong Jian
