In the history of China's dynasties, the emperor, as a figure of great importance to the country and the people, will naturally record him a lot more than a figure who promotes the development of the times. A Dynasty founded by the Han Dynasty had a Chuangqi Emperor Wanli, and the Ming Emperor Wanli created a twenty-eight-year-old Emperor Wanli, and became the laziest emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but what caused Wanli to be so wayward? Today we will follow the historical records into the history of the ancient Chinese Ming Dynasty.
In this society, we know that if a person is lazy, it is not because of his own reasons or because there is a person around him who can make him lazy. And this fact also applies to the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when posterity found and excavated the tomb of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was surprised to find that the legs of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had some mobility problems, so the Wanli Emperor with limited mobility naturally did not go to the dynasty in order to cover up his shortcomings, and in addition to this physical problem, the Ming Wanli Emperor also had a reason that caused him to not go to the ming dynasty for twenty-eight years, that is, he became an emperor at a young age of only 8 years old, and how could the young Wanli bear the burden of a country? So there were several figures around the Wanli Emperor, namely Wanli's mother, Empress Li at the time, Feng Bao, a close confidant of Empress Li, and Zhang Juzheng, the teacher and great steward of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
When it comes to the reasons that caused the Wanli Emperor not to go to the court, we have to mention Zhang Juzheng. At that time, the young Wanli Emperor was in charge of state affairs, so Empress Li, as the mother of the Wanli Emperor, gave this responsibility to Wanli's teacher and great housekeeper Zhang Juzheng, after which Empress Li moved to the Qianqing Palace to accompany the Wanli Emperor and check the endorsement of the Wanli Emperor. Empress Li's confidant Feng Bao took on another important responsibility in addition to taking charge of the red power and the task of accompanying and taking care of the life and living of the Wanli Emperor, and as a teacher and great housekeeper, Zhang Juzheng paid affection to the Wanli Emperor and used a variety of methods to teach the Wanli Emperor to inform the country and govern the country. In terms of ruling, Zhang Juzheng, after being trusted by Empress Li, the mother of the Wanli Emperor, single-handedly took on the responsibility of the entire Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng handled state affairs every day, and in the more than ten years of managing state affairs, he governed the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner, making the country rich and the people safe. Although the Ming Dynasty had a strict cabinet system in more than a decade of governance, under the offensive and defensive alliance of Empress Li's close confidant Feng Bao, the strict cabinet system was only a passing cloud.
However, although Zhang Juzheng's single-handed behavior left the Wanli Emperor with a wealthy Jiangshan, it caused the Wanli Emperor not to learn anything for many years, which also made it impossible for the Wanli Emperor to better manage the government after Zhang Juzheng's death, and became a lazy emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
