In 1582, Zhang Juzheng, a generation of "backbones of Daming", died. What people did not expect was that the Wanli Emperor, who had always respected his teacher, raided his home and starved his family to death when his teacher's bones were not cold...

Time back 10 years ago, in 1572, at the age of 10, Wanli ascended the throne, and his mother found him the best teacher at that time, Zhang Juzheng, to teach him how to be an emperor.

The emperor was so young, Zhang Juzheng, as the prime minister of the dynasty, was bound to be busy with business, but he was happy to be this teacher.

There are two reasons for this.

First, at that time, he was alone as an official in Beijing, and his family was far away in his hometown of Hubei. He sometimes regarded Xiao Wanli as his own child.

The history books record:

One day, Xiao Wanli got a rash and was sick for a long time. During this time, Zhang Juzheng went to inquire about the condition every few days.

After Xiao Wanli recovered, Zhang Juzheng was stunned to see that he had walked to the dragon chair and knelt down to look at it carefully, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Second, he wants to train Wanli as his own reform successor.

Zhang Ju is exactly "the master of ancient and modern prime ministers". During his reign, he promoted reforms and implemented new policies, reviving the devastated Ming Dynasty.

Now that he is old, Daming's road is still very long, and he hopes that Wanli can continue his career and lead Daming to a higher level.

Xiao Wanli also regarded Zhang Ju as his father and obeyed him, and the teacher-student relationship between the two was a beautiful talk for a while.

However, when the relationship between the monarch and the subject gradually developed into a "strict father to son" education, this relationship became problematic.

According to historical records, Zhang Juzheng's requirements for Wanli were so strict that Wanli was very afraid of Zhang Juzheng since he was a child, and when he faced him, he was even afraid and frightened.

Once in class, Xiao Wanli pronounced "SeBoruye" as "Sebei Ruye", Zhang Juzheng shouted loudly, and Xiao Wanli stood up in fright, and his body was trembling.

Another time, when Wanli was 18 years old, he got drunk and beat someone, Zhang Juzheng was furious when he found out, and wrote a letter angrily denouncing Wanli's behavior as ungraceful, and Empress Li wanted to abolish Wanli because of this matter.

Under the various intercessions of Wanli, Empress Li gave up on this, but still asked him to write a canonization decree and tell the people of the whole world that he was guilty.

Think of the young Wanli, in fact, it is quite pitiful, although you are the emperor, but you can't help yourself in doing anything, and you are deeply persecuted by the patriarchs in the name of love.

As he grew up little by little, after having his own thinking, he developed a deep hatred for Zhang Juzheng's education methods.

When one day he has the power to dominate everything, this hatred will have an astonishing destructive power.

In 1582, Zhang Juzheng died. Wanli finally had absolute power.

At this time, someone stood up and accused Zhang Juzheng of corruption. This is exactly what Wan Li has in mind. He ordered zhang ju to copy the mansion in Beijing, but only 100,000 taels of silver were found, less than one-twentieth of the house of the eunuch Feng Bao (a popular eunuch) who was raided.

Wan Li did not believe that Zhang Juzheng only had such a little money. So he listened to the official's advice and went to Hubei to copy Zhang Juzheng's hometown.

As a result, not only did not copy out any silver two, but also almost took the lives of Zhang Juzheng's entire family.

In order to ask for credit, various officials locked Zhang Juzheng's family in the house and did not eat or drink, including infants who were still swaddling, and old mothers who were sick in their eighties, and finally starved to death.

After the death of a generation of famous people, their families were so abused and died, and the person who handled the knife was the disciple who regarded himself as his own, poured out his heart, and cared for him.

Even the reforms that had exhausted his life were destroyed by Wanli. The Ming Dynasty was because of Wanli's perverse behavior, and finally let the entire country and the whole nation be buried with it.

Thinking about Zhang Juzheng's lifelong painstaking and conscientious work, the family and country he guarded were eventually cut off in the hands of his dearest students, and I don't know how Zhang Juzheng would feel if he knew about it?
