Zhang Ju is a well-known prodigy in the Ming Dynasty, because his mother had a dream of a "white turtle" appearing in a well before his mother gave birth to Zhang Juzheng, so he named his grandson who was born later as "Bai Gui", in order to please a good head, and when he grew up, he hoped that his grandson could honor his ancestors for his family. Later "Bai Gui" really did not live up to the dream made by his grandfather, he was able to read and write at the age of five, and at the age of seven he was able to understand the six classics, he participated in the township examination at the age of thirteen, and when he was sixteen years old, he took the examination to raise people, such a speed is unattainable for people like "Fan Jin", in this vast land, the beginning of Juzheng is the end of some people, and the youth of Juzheng is the year of some people's flowers.
What needs to be corrected is that Zhang Juzheng's ending is very beautiful, but after his death, he himself and the entire Zhang family associated with Juzheng were liquidated.
Zhang Juzheng, who can be called "Voldemort"
Some people say that Zhang Juzheng's personality is very similar to Xu Jie, in fact, such words are reasonable, after Zhang Juzheng entered the official field and followed Xu Jie, the most important things he learned from Xu Jie were "hidden forbearance" and "introverted". These two points are a good skill, no matter what they are doing. When Yan Song was in power, the cabinet was controlled by Yan Song, who relied on the old man and betrayed the old man, and was held by the flying Yan Shifan to death, even if Ju Zheng held the military department in his hands, it seemed to be a plaything in the hands of Xiao Ge. For all this, he was very disgusted, but helpless, although Ju Zheng at that time was already Dacheng, but because he was still too young compared to Xu Jie and Yan Song, so it was inevitable that his temper would be hot, there were many times Zhang Juzheng wanted to face the "Er Yan", but later he still endured, all of which benefited from Xu Jie's words and deeds.
Zhang Juzheng's voldemort state lasted until after the Longqing Emperor came to power. After the fall of Yan Song, the death of the Jiajing Emperor, and the succession of the Longqing Emperor, the cabinet began to fight. Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng, who were originally unanimous to the outside world, were now racking their brains for this supreme power.
In order to obtain the position of first assistant, Gao Gong took the lead in attacking his former comrade-in-arms Xu Jie, and later Gao Gong took this power in his hands in a series of twists and turns. According to historical records, we have this feeling about the high arch: compared to the pool of water in Xu Jie's heart, the high arch is more like a raging fire, because of the sentence "Ten-year-old child, how to be an emperor!" Expelled by the empress, Ju Zheng also took the opportunity to hold the long-coveted authority in his hands.
The harsh education from an early age led to the regurgitation of later results
Children are prone to revenge, because they can only recognize a person's subjective "good" and "bad" for him, and if he has to explain, it is like if an adult gives a child a handful of sugar, the child will subjectively judge him as a good person, and if the person gives the child a stick, he will subjectively judge him as a bad person, just because he beat himself, regardless of what he brought to himself.
Probably responsible for the Wanli Emperor, Zhang Ju was strictly guarding Wanli when he was very young, from eating and drinking to receiving people and treating things.
In fact, in the beginning, the Wanli Emperor was very respectful of his teacher, although Ju Zheng blindly asked the Wanli Emperor to save, the Wanli Emperor also listened to his words and vigorously exploited and saved the use of the imperial family and the gift of the year, but when the Wanli Emperor heard that Zhang Juzheng's father had died, he gave Zhang Juzheng a big stroke of money: five hundred and two silver, ten thousand new banknotes, one hundred meters and twenty stones, two hundred pounds of sesame oil and twenty pounds of various pieces of incense, one hundred pairs of candles, fifty horses of linen, and so on.
Moreover, after hearing that his teacher was ill, Wanli also personally prepared soup medicine to bring to the teacher, which was a supreme glory and glory for the ministers of all dynasties.
However, when Wanli was a little older, the restlessness of his adolescence was already obvious, and although he obeyed the discipline of his mother and Mr. Zhang in action, he already had an inexplicable sense of dislike for Zhang Juzheng in his heart.
Especially later, after Emperor Shenzong learned that Zhang Juzheng's life was extremely luxurious and that the things he used were very expensive, the resentment and anger in his heart were suddenly ignited. Because when he was very young, he was taught by his husband to be frugal and not to be extravagant and wasteful, just to play, he would be punished by Mr. Zhang, and if he used something extravagant, he would be criticized by him. But after seeing the life of his husband and his family, the original respect was instantly reduced to nothing, and all he got was endless hatred and resentment.
Zhang Juzheng is too much of a power holder
Because he wanted to realize his ideals, Zhang Juzheng held the authority of the Ming Dynasty to the death, not letting anyone have the opportunity to obtain it, whether he was an intractable political enemy or a supreme emperor. It is this kind of love of power that lays the foundation for being liquidated after his death. After all, royal children will be much precocious than children of the same age when they are very young, which is inseparable from their birth environment and the people and things they come into contact with. Especially when the emperors were young, their desire for power will be even stronger; this is like the young emperor Kangxi, we see the young Kangxi on the surface is fighting against the big bad guy Aobai, but from the innermost excavation, you will find that the game between Kangxi and Aobai is inseparable from Kangxi's purpose of seizing power, although Aobai is the founding hero of the Qing Dynasty, although he is a minister who assists the young lord, but because he hinders Kangxi's steps to gain power, he will be regarded by Kangxi as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. Although the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Wanli was not as tense and distant as that of Kangxi and Aobai, it would be appropriate to explain the relationship between Juzheng and Wanli by using the relationship between Kang and Ao.
In particular, such a story in history can better illustrate the deterioration of the relationship between Zhang and Zhu:
Some people, in order to please Zhang Juzheng, called him "Yi Yin in the world" more than once in front of him, and Zhang Juzheng was smiling and smiling very much after hearing such praise.
The so-called Yi Yin was a famous minister of the Shang Dynasty, and the reason why he was famous was because he dared to severely punish the king. It is said that the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, Taijia, was absurd, and in order to make him understand his mistake, Yi Yin actually exiled the shang dynasty king, until after Taijia was reformed, he welcomed Back Taijia in the name of the prime minister.
Therefore, when the Wanli Emperor heard that Zhang Juzheng compared himself to Yi Yin, he was very angry, so Wanli's hatred of Zhang Juzheng was probably promoted and formed at this time, and it was out of control.
In summary, Zhang Juzheng was tragically liquidated after his death because he disciplined the emperor too harshly, forgot his identity and status, and held power too "tightly", which led to the tragic end after his death.
