In the ten years of Zhang Juzheng's first aid, the total amount of silver stored in the Taibu Temple plus the silver in Taicang reached as much as seven or eight million taels, and the grain stored in Taicang was enough for ten years. In the sixth year of the Wanli Calendar (1578), the wedding ceremony of the young Ming Emperor Shenzong ended, and Empress Li announced her return to Cining Palace.
After that, there was little interference with her son, until Empress Li came forward to force her son Tou Changluo, the eldest son of Princess Wang Gong, and Zhu Changxun, the third son of The Crown Princess, to appoint Zhu Changxuan, the crown prince, when Emperor Mingshen and his ministers quarreled and quarreled over the "dispute over the foundation of the country" for more than ten years, empress Dowager Li came forward to force her son to appoint Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, as crown prince.
Although Emperor Myeongjinzong created the situation of "Wanli Zhongxing" and presided over the three major conquests of Wanli and won victories, in the later period of his reign, he began to be absurd in political affairs. On the one hand, after Zhang Juzheng's death, Feng Bao was demoted by him, and the overseers around him were no longer effective, and Empress Li almost stopped restraining him and began to release his own Ming Shen Sect, although he was scolded by the ministers every day, and he was wayward and did not go to the court for decades.
Although he was still able to control the situation through various means, there were no eunuchs at home, no foreign relatives interfering in politics, and the state was still able to function, it was also during this period that the Jin forces in Liaodong began to rise and became the main threat in the late Ming Dynasty. The protracted three major conquests and the Liaodong War greatly increased the burden of the Ming Dynasty, with the three major levies scrapping more than 11 million taels of silver, while the Liaodong War required about 4 million taels of silver per year.
In order to meet the military expenditure, Emperor Myeongshinzong ordered three times to increase the number of national land endowments, which are known in history as "Liao Salary". Later, the Three Salaries of the Liao Dynasty, the Suppression of Salaries, and the Practice of The Three Allowances of the Late Ming Dynasty gradually began to increase their dispatches, and the hungry people who complained bitterly rose up to resist and revolted, which became the last straw that crushed the Ming Dynasty.
In February of the forty-second year of the Wanli Calendar (1614 AD), Empress Li died. Six years later, in the forty-eighth year of the Wanli Calendar (1620 AD), the Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun died, and the decline of the Ming Dynasty was inevitable. In order to educate her son well, Empress Li equipped him with the best teacher, the most strict class teacher, and she was also the most attentive parent.
Before the son was still underage, it can be said that the effect was excellent, but the later situation was that the son copied the home of the teacher Zhang Juzheng, dismissed the class teacher Feng Bao, and went on strike for decades without going to the dynasty, only 24 years after the death of Emperor Mingshenzong, and the Ming Dynasty fell.
Equipped with the best educational resources, but because of the overly strict educational methods, and ushered in the most fierce rebound, such educational effects, in today's parents also deserve every parent's deep thinking.
