Zhu Yijun, also known as Emperor Mingshenzong and Wanli Emperor, was the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and did not go to the ming dynasty for twenty-eight years in the later period of his reign.
How strange the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were, this has almost become a consensus. Judging from the deeds of these emperors, it is indeed difficult to be called a Ming Jun, and it is not an exaggeration to even say that they are Emperors of Darkness.
Just like Wanli, in fact, he did not have any special hobbies, did not fight crickets, and had no interest in carpentry, but he was too lazy. He was able to go to the court for decades and hide in his harem.
If he reigned for a few years, it seems that the impact is not great, but he reigned for a long time. Then, the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not go to the dynasty for twenty-eight years, why did no one dare to rebel?
It is reasonable to say that a long period of not going to the dynasty will inevitably lead to the fall of imperial power, but the strange thing is that even if Wanli does not go to the dynasty for decades, no one still dares to launch a coup, and his position is still stable.
First of all, we must say that rebellion is not so easy, the risk is very large. If it fails, it will be ruined, and even the entire family will disappear.
Therefore, many people are bound to think clearly before and after the rebellion, at least they must control the military power, otherwise, even if they are the first assistants of the cabinet, the power in their hands is limited, and they do not dare to rebel at all.
We have always explained that since Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the system of prime ministers, the head of the cabinet has no decision-making power. Although the power of the cabinet later became greater and greater, the large and small chapters in various places were still to be submitted to the emperor through the eunuch-controlled celebrant and then transferred to the cabinet.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, probably only Zhang Juzheng's power was very large. However, we all know Zhang Juzheng's ending, and Feng Bao, the eunuch who colluded with Zhang Juzheng, did not end well.
It was precisely in this way that the successive cabinet chief assistants Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, including the later Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao, were cautious, especially Li Tingji, who was opposed by the Donglin Party and had a thin face, and directly resigned.
It can be said that the first assistant of the cabinet at that time was not a sought-after position, but a bit of a hot potato.
Besides, the Ming Dynasty was the most rampant stage of the secret service agency, whether it was the Jinyi Wei or the later East Factory and the West Factory, which were important tools for the emperor to monitor hundreds of officials.
Although the emperor did not take much care of it, these departments were not idle, and they were still familiar with the every move of the ministers and many generals.
We are specific to the Wanli Dynasty, the emperor of Wanli is still a bit capable, he does not go to the Dynasty, but it does not mean that everything is ignored. In fact, these are two concepts.
Don't think that Wanli is completely confused and ignores political affairs. His methods are still very tough, and he will directly shake it to the end. Besides, these people in the court did not have an army in their hands, and the Donglin Party only knew how to fight.
Therefore, except for Zhang Juzheng, the Wanli Dynasty basically did not have many powerful ministers who could overthrow Wanli.
