"Daming Dynasty 1566" is a rare historical film and television drama, which has been sought after by many people since its inception, and the author is also one of them. Therefore, the author would like to use my own text to share with you the author's views on this drama.
Today to share with you "Daming Dynasty 1566": Behind Hai Rui's promotion to ZhiXian, in fact, several unspoken rules for the promotion of Ming officials have been exposed.
In the process of implementing the national policy of changing rice to mulberry in Zhejiang, it was blocked by the local people, so the progress was not smooth. For its own interests and to fulfill the orders of the Jiajing Emperor, the Yan Party did not hesitate to order the blowing up of the river embankment. At the critical moment when the nine counties were about to be flooded, Hu Zongxian finally weighed the pros and cons and chose to direct the flood to Chun'an County and Jiande County to save several other counties.
Because of this natural disaster caused by man-made disasters, the prefects of Hangzhou, Chun'an Zhi County and Jiande Zhi County have all become unjust ghosts. Although it is said that the three people died unjustly, the three positions of Hangzhou prefect, Chun'an Zhi County, and Jiande Zhi County have also become vacant.
The change from rice to mulberry still needs to be carried out, and these three positions directly affect the progress of the implementation of the change of rice to mulberry. Therefore, whether it is Yan Dang or QingLiu, they are all eyeing these three positions.
On tan lun's recommendation, Hai Rui officially left the customs and took up the post of Chun'an Zhi County, and he was also officially promoted from a teaching to Zhi County. Although theoretically speaking, Hai Rui's promotion is in line with the normal process, but there are some unspoken rules behind it, and then the author will tell you in detail:
First, if you want to be promoted, you must have a work of hand
At that time, when Tan Lun recommended Hai Rui to Yu Wang and Zhang Juzheng, he recited to them a piece written by Hai Rui, "Public Security Neglect". Because this article was well written, even Hu Zongxian quoted a few sentences from it when he was playing to the Jiajing Emperor. It is enough to see how well this article is written and how widely disseminated it is.
Hai Rui also relied on this article to become a hit in the official field of the Ming Dynasty. From a person's words, it is often possible to see a person's ideological insights and level of understanding. After Zhang Juzheng listened to Hai Rui's article, he immediately decided that Hai Rui was a man of great talent, and immediately advised Yu Wang to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. Hai Rui has thus ushered in its own golden period.
Like Hai Rui, there is also the new Hangzhou prefect Gao Hanwen, who also wrote some more influential works by virtue of his achievements in science, so he became the best candidate for the prefect of Hangzhou.
Imagine how Hai Rui and Gao Hanwen could have been promoted so quickly without the works they could have produced? These works are the best endorsement of their personal ability, and they are also a guarantee for others to trust them.
Second, have a wide range of contacts
From ancient times to the present, networking has always been a necessary plus for a person to succeed. It is precisely because of Tan Lun's introduction that Hai Rui has the opportunity to emerge from Yu Wang's side, and has the opportunity to let the future cabinet first assistant Zhang Juzheng know his talents. Without Tan Lun, it is estimated that he would continue to be buried in the grassroots of the Ming Dynasty, and then spend his whole life doing nothing.
Because the people who were tested in the same subject in ancient times were still familiar with each other, if someone flew in the future, they would generally bring up friends in the same department. According to the author's speculation, Hai Rui and Tan Lun should have known each other because they took the imperial examination.
After Tan Lun became a confidant of Yu Wang's side, when he had the opportunity, he did not forget his friend, and recommended Hai Rui at the first time. In addition to Hai Rui, Wang Yongji of Jiande County is also Tan Lun's friend of the same department, so he was also recommended together.
Of course, a very important reason why they are recommended is that they are capable of it. But readers may wish to think about it, there must be more than two capable people, why did Opportunity choose them both? You can imagine how much networking has played a role in this.
Therefore, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, when he has excellent works to endorse himself, if there are more connections to escort himself, then it is natural to add officials to the knighthood. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom, situations like this should also be common.
The above is the author's analysis of "Daming Dynasty 1566" in this issue, and friends who like this drama can add a note!
