Speaking of the Wanli Emperor's belief that the first reaction in most people's hearts was to kill the teacher Zhang Juzheng, not to go to the court for 28 years, and to fight with the ministers for the sake of establishing a son, and so on. True
The Myōshin Sect did have many unsatisfactory places, but did he really have 28 years of slackening?
Today I will talk to you about this topic, first of all, my point of view, that is
The Wanli Emperor did not slacken his government, because although he did not go to the court for 28 years, the Ming Dynasty did not have the monopoly of eunuchs and foreign relatives, the second did not lose foreign wars, and the third did not ignore the people
(Relief from disasters and famines, quelling rebellions, and developing the economy are not less).)
First of all, why do you say that the Wanli Emperor is slacking off?
According to the author's understanding, the part of the people who said that the Wanli Emperor was slacking off in power probably held six views.
First, the Wanli Emperor, as the king of a country, did not go to the dynasty and did not manage the government for 28 years.
Second, the Wanli Emperor, as the king of a country, did not personally participate in and sacrifice the Zongmiao and Taimiao temples of the imperial court.
Third, the Wanli Emperor, as the king of a country, did not personally participate in and worship all things in heaven and earth.
Fourth, the Wanli Emperor, as the king of a country, did not personally receive the ministers, and even the head of the cabinet could not meet him for three years.
Fifth, the Wanli Emperor, as the king of a country, did not personally approve the ministers' recitals, resulting in almost no operation within the imperial court.
Sixth, the Wanli Emperor, as the king of a country, did not personally participate in the lecture specially set up for the emperor (lectured by the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy).
I believe that seeing this, friends who do not understand history or do not know much about history already have an image of the Wanli Emperor,
A shameless image of a dimwitted, mediocre monarch
。 Admittedly, this is the Wanli Emperor that most people know now, but is this really the case in history? Today, the author will explain these six points one by one, which can also be regarded as a grievance for the Wanli Emperor, who has been dead for hundreds of years.
First, the Wanli Emperor's so-called failure to go to the dynasty and ignore the government refers to it
He does not receive ministers in court
。 Moreover, we must understand this piece separately, that is, not going to the dprk and not managing the government
It's two different things
。
Ming Shi Shenzong Benji
Records, from the fifteenth year of the Wanli calendar (
In 1587
From the beginning, the Wanli Emperor had already announced to his ministers that he wanted to"
Still shot
"The idea, so-called"
It means not to deal with the government in the court, but to deal with the government in the place where you live (
It's the harem
）。 Other than that
After the Wanli Emperor", there was no difference between the handling of the government and politics and before the "Jingjing"
, the victims of the disaster are rescued, the officials are taken care of (dun), the rivers are repaired, and the diplomacy is the same.
Therefore, although the Wanli Emperor did not go to the dynasty, he still did things, so why should this be used as a reason for slacking off the government?
The second and third are even more nonsense, according to
History of the Ming Dynasty
Records:
In April of the fifteenth year of the Wanli Calendar, at noon, Emperor Bu prayed in the southern suburbs and told the scholars: "Although the drought is not virtuous, there are also greedy and greedy people in the world, so that they can do heaven and peace, and it is advisable to choose a division carefully in the future." ”
"In November of the seventeenth year of the Wanli Calendar, the Emperor Qitian was in the southern suburbs."
To be fair with this piece, the Wanli Emperor did not personally go to worship every time in the later period, because he also had unspeakable secrets. Now a lot of so-called "
historian
"It is said that the Wanli Emperor was hollowed out by wine, but in fact from the Ming Ding Mausoleum (
Tomb of the Wanli Emperor
From the perspective of the restoration of the bones of Wanli,
The Wanli Emperor clearly had traces of "long and short legs".
Worshiping heaven and earth and worshipping ancestors are big things,
It was obviously inappropriate for the Wanli Emperor to limp his legs
, so this is the main reason why he did not personally go to worship for many years (
This is caused by the disease, acquired
）。
Fourth, it is true that the Wanli Emperor rarely saw ministers in the middle and late period, including the first assistant of the cabinet, but there were also his unspeakable secrets. The first is "
The battle between the country and the country
Although the Wanli Emperor disposed of a large number of courtiers, he was still opposed by hundreds of officials.
Even if he put down his body to ask for a hundred officials, he was still opposed
。 Secondly, the Wanli Emperor's failure to see the ministers was also a case-by-case, and all he did not see were some inspectors of imperial history and ordinary courtiers, and these people also saw him for some dispensable things, so they did not see him. But for example, for those border guards
Xiong Tingbi,
The Wanli Emperor would receive him every time, and the Wanli Emperor also replied to his advice on the same day.
Fifth, this is even more ridiculous. First of all, the Ming Dynasty was a cabinet system, and it was difficult to say,
Even if there is no emperor, only eunuchs and the central hub of the Cabinet of the Ming Dynasty will not be chaotic
(This is also an important reason why many emperors of the Ming Dynasty do not care about things.) Secondly, the Wanli Emperor did leave many folds in the middle (
No instructions, no issuance
But these notes are basically all written by the yan officials, and the content is all the same (
Let him go up to the court
You said that these Ten Thousand Emperors looked at what he was doing, anyway, it had no impact on him, nor did it affect the country, and it was better not to look at it than not to watch it .
God knows if anyone took the opportunity to insult the emperor, after all, as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, this kind of thing is also very normal
Sixth, the Wanli Emperor has been over 30 years old since the beginning of the Dynasty, and his
The enlightenment teacher is Zhang Juzheng
The civil official of the Wanli Dynasty could be better than Zhang Juzheng, so Wanli did not need to sit on any chair at all. Even if you want to listen to military reports and intelligence, Wanli still has other ways to listen.
In summary, the Wanli Emperor did have many slack moves, but from a realistic point of view, these slack actions did not constitute the fact of slacking off.
Therefore, the Wanli Emperor's slackness is only a kind of appearance, fundamentally speaking, it does not exist
(No one has dictatorship, no one has deceived, and before the battle is lost, I can't understand how to call it slacking off)!
