"Zhang Juzheng later entered the court as an official, and he seemed to be very low-key. In the past few years, in addition to writing a commentary on current affairs, he pointed out major problems in the country.

Later, I hoped to correct it, but nothing happened.

Zhang Juzheng never did any operations again.

This is a very normal thing. Although Zhang Juzheng wrote very well and penetratingly, the problem was the emperor at that time.

It's Jiajing, an old cultivator, so he doesn't bother to take care of these things at all.

So in such days, time passed by little by little.

In the 27th year of Jiajing, a simple but not particularly simple day, Xia Yan was slandered, sentenced to death, and the new leader was Yan Song.

This one has been famous for a long time, but what some people probably don't know is that before Mr. Yan Song and Yan Pavilion came to power, he was known for being clean and honest.

So the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Yan Song at that time was also maintained very good.

He even wrote a flattering article by the way to praise him.

As the days went on, no one thought that Yan Song, who was still well-known at the time, showed another side of him as soon as he took the stage.

It's okay to form a party for personal gain, to be corrupt.

Zhang Juzheng felt that at least he really didn't have the strength to do anything now.

Until the 29th year of Jiajing, a very serious problem broke out in this year.

If this problem is placed in the entire history, it is absolutely insignificant.

However, under the circumstances at that time, it can profoundly reveal the weakness of the dynasty.

That is the North, the rise of Altan Khan.

The military equipment in the Jiajing period was not as good as that of Hongwu. In the Yongle period, the northern border was loose. Altan Khan unified the tribes on the grassland and continued to grow, trying to restore the glory of the Yuan Dynasty again.

Because the military preparations at that time were not good, Altan Khan almost won many battles on the border, plundering a lot of food, grass, and money, which also made his position more stable.

So in the 29th year of Jiajing, he came to a huge robbery, leading more than [-] people, from the Hetao area to Datong Mansion in Shanxi.

The chief soldier of Datong is really a genius among geniuses, because he is related to the superior, so he doesn't understand how to fight at all.

As soon as I heard that I Da Khan was coming, I was confused, and finally came up with a good solution.

bribe.

After promising a large amount of gold and silver treasures, Al Da Khan accepted the condition, so instead of attacking Datong, he turned his troops and pointed directly at the capital at that time.

In all dynasties, the capital was the most important place.

Even the Northern Song Dynasty paid special attention to the defense of the capital.

Strong stems and weak branches, so the capital should be the most heavily defended place.

However, when Jiajing got the news and was about to have a fight with Altan Khan.

It was suddenly discovered that the number of troops in the entire capital was even less than [-].

In this way, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

So the question is, where did these people go?
Of course they were paid for nothing, how could such a small group of people fight against Altan Khan's elite soldiers?
Then it is to discuss how to fight.

With the military equipment so slack, it is undoubtedly nonsense to want to fight again.

So Yan Song gave the general a brilliant idea at that time.

Aren't they just here to grab something, just resist it symbolically, let them grab it and it's over,
Do you think Yan Ge is always an idiot?In fact, people have their own tricks in hand.

Later, the general of the Datong Mansion killed the good and pretended to be meritorious, claiming to have defeated the Mongolian Yuan army, but the original guard obeyed Yan Song's order, but led to the looting of the suburbs of Beijing.

thus put to death.

Among them, Yan Song played an intermediate role. He cleverly separated his relationship with the guards in the suburbs of Beijing, and gave orders to the general of Datong Mansion.

So in such a stupid battle, he won a big victory!
highly regarded.

As far as tactics are concerned, Yan Song is really the top among the top.

However, these things, the emperor does not know.

The rest of the people could see clearly, but Zhang Juzheng could see clearly.

I can't even be more clear about how weak the military equipment of the Ming Dynasty is, and the border gates are so important, and even the entire cabinet is so weak and incompetent!

The court is also full of moths, and even the weapons needed to guard the capital require bribes from the eunuchs who guard the warehouses to obtain them.

All of this shows that this dynasty is already weak, and even looks like a terminally ill giant.

Zhang Juzheng's heart.

It was urgent, but he still didn't have any strength. He met his teacher, Xu Jie, and began to study governing the country and studying Yangming's mind.

And on the surface, he maintained a pretty good relationship with Yan Song, and even wrote many articles flattering Yan Song.

All of a sudden, Yan Song paid a lot of attention to this young man.

It is understood that he has played with both sides.

But even so, people's hearts always have a tolerance.

Around this range, the final result is either to forget one's original intention and join forces with others, or to be unable to bear the current environment, so one chooses to resign angrily.

Therefore, when Yan Song is in power, he has only two paths to follow.

So in the 32nd year of Jiajing, Yang Jisheng, the same year of Zhang Juzheng, wrote to impeach Yan Song.

Yan Song was very good to Yang Jisheng, and he was promoted four or five times a year, which was very important, but the reason why Yang Jisheng wanted to impeach Yan Song was not for himself.

but the whole country.

The consequences were disastrous, and Yang Jisheng was sent to prison directly.

Perhaps this incident touched Zhang Juzheng's heart. They were Jinshi in the same year, but now Yang Jisheng stood up for the world, but he can only be a turtle here.

Can't do anything, even a little resentment, this is definitely a blow to Zhang Juzheng.

He was still watching, but what he saw was that Yan Song's power was constantly expanding and strengthening, and even the entire government and the public were Yan Song's people.

I don't care what you code, and I don't care!

Zhang Juzheng probably didn't scold those words, but now, his lifelong ambition can't be realized, and Yan Song's single-handedly overshadows the sky, so he still lives like this.

Then it's a ball, I won't wait.

So in the 23rd year of Jiajing, the young Zhang Juzheng got sick, returned to Jiangling, and began to take a vacation.

During this period of time, he wrote a letter to satirize his teacher Xu Jie, thinking that he looked at Yan Song sitting in the middle, but didn't do anything, he was cowardly and incompetent!
He has a high position and authority, so he should set an example for everyone.

At the same time, in the past three years, King Liao appeared on the stage again, specially invited Zhang Juzheng to have a drink.

It's hard to imagine what is in his mind
