Editing history: the opening inventory of the top ten emperors

Xu Jie retired, and Zhang Juzheng was naturally the one who replaced him in charge of the cabinet.

Here is an extra mention of Emperor Longqing.

Maybe it's because this brother has been the prince for too long.

So much so that it was suppressed too much.

So after taking the stage, he quickly started to enjoy the extravagance.

Just do what is absurd.

The nature is exposed vividly.

For civil servants, such an emperor.

It's actually pretty good.
Especially for a dynasty like the Ming Dynasty, the power of civil servants continued to expand, and the absurdity of the emperor was really not a big problem.

Likes women, likes to drink, likes to have fun, it's nothing.

Because everything will be done by the cabinet, the cabinet, even if it is hip-pull, even if Yan Song is the chief assistant, in fact, the entire dynasty is just slowly declining.

It's not going to be the time when the sun sets in the west.

Sometimes a dynasty is destroyed precisely because of its own nonsense.

Here is an additional name for Emperor Chongzhen.

But this situation is not very good for Zhang Juzheng.

Because although he became the chief assistant, the rights are not all in his hands yet.

He still has an opponent, and he knows that this opponent will definitely appear.

That's right.

This person is Gao Gong.

Emperor Longqing was still concerned about his former master, so he restored Gao Gong not long after.

With the support of the emperor, Gao Gong naturally became the chief assistant.

Below one person, above ten thousand people.

Before Gao Gong took the stage, there was actually one more thing.

That is Liao Wang Zhu Xian.

Someone wrote an article scolding him. Originally, this was considered a routine operation in the Ming Dynasty.

When scolding the prince to improve his reputation, most princes just laugh it off and don't take it seriously at all, but Zhu Xian is different.

He directly put up a white flag at home, which meant that he was innocent and should not be scolded.

But what he didn't expect was that the chief assistant of the cabinet at that time was Zhang Juzheng.

And the action of him raising the flag also changed its nature.

Rise up!
Isn't it because of raising the flag?

So Zhang Juzheng directly filed an iron case for him.

rebellion.

Zhang Juzheng let out all the bad breath back then in one breath.

Zhu Xian was deposed as a common man, and he was not allowed to leave the room for half a step. The rest of the people were either exiled or died!
One word, cool!

Then, of course, Gao Gong came back.

Gao Gong this person, he will be vengeful, and he has an arrogant and impatient personality.

The first thing he did was to eliminate dissidents, forcing four cabinet ministers, Chen Yiqin, Zhao Zhenji, Li Chunfang, and Yin Shidan, to take office, almost creating a full-fledged martial arts in the cabinet.

By the way, Xu Jie was liquidated back then, and Xu Jie's son was directly exiled into the army.Gao Gong is now covering the sky with one hand.

As for Zhang Juzheng, he is stable in the cabinet.

why?
Because Zhang Juzheng is a top-notch person, although he is Xu Jie's disciple, but Gao Gong deeply believes that Zhang Juzheng, like himself, is a person who is determined to reform.

It is an existence on my side!

So instead of doing anything to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng was made his deputy.

Gao Gong is actually a good prime minister. Although the methods of political struggle are somewhat cruel, he also wants to do something for the country.

So Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng launched their reforms together, and these reforms can be regarded as quite beneficial to the country and the people.

This reform became the blueprint for Zhang Juzheng's reform later.

But the so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Both of them have strong personalities, ideals and ambitions. Zhang Juzheng is more unwilling to delegate power than him.

Zhang Juzheng felt an unprecedented threat from Gao Gong, which was a feeling his master or others had never given him, because at that time he was not yet at the peak.

But now, he finally stood at the peak of the world. This time, Zhang Juzheng had no way to retreat.Zhang Juzheng endured, waiting for his opportunity.

Time passed slowly.

No one expected that Emperor Longqing would die directly after he reigned for only six years.

Gao Gong couldn't help crying in pain at the death of his apprentice.

Although he is lustful, although he is absurd, although he does not care about government affairs, as long as he gives himself the right, he will stand up for his own affairs, in Gao Gong's opinion.

Emperor Longqing was a good emperor.

But this good emperor was short-lived, and died after six years in office.

So Gao Gong couldn't help crying.

"How can a ten-year-old prince rule the world!"

This was originally a very common saying.

But in the eyes of those with a heart, it becomes a handle that can be attacked.

A coup was quietly brewing.

The eunuch Feng Bao took the lead in starting the struggle with Gao Gong.

What it does is power.

But in such a struggle, Zhang Juzheng is in an intriguing position.

Perhaps he was involved in the fight because his placement in it was too coincidental.

But it is also possible that he just sat up high.

Because no matter which side wins, he can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.Take it easy!
What happened was a bit vague.

But the result of the matter is so certain.

Feng Bao tampered with Gao Gong's lines.

He ran to the queen mother, the queen and others and cried.

There was only one sentence to howl.

"Gao Gong said to him: He said a ten-year-old prince, how can he become an emperor!"

Just the change of three words.

The taste contained in it is completely different.

The queen mother and others directly abolished Gao Gong.

Finally, at this time, Zhang Juzheng entered his era.

Everything, here, has reached the pinnacle of power.

After gaining the full support of the Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Juzheng became a super powerful official in the Ming Dynasty who has never been seen before, and who has never been seen since!

He is a civil servant leader himself, with profound qualifications, and at the same time, he has the direct support of the Empress Dowager Li, that is, the imperial power.

At the same time, the eunuch Feng Bao had a deep friendship with him.

Gathering civil servants, eunuchs, and imperial power in one body, Zhang Juzheng, in his final form, finally appeared.

It took him an unknown number of years to get to this point.

In the midst of sordid power struggles, he's an even dirtier man.

But all dirty practices are because Zhang Juzheng has righteousness in his heart.

From the bottom to the current position step by step, Zhang Juzheng understands one thing better than anyone else.

That's what he's about to do, the reforms he's about to introduce.

How many people's interests will be violated.

Even in the end, what consequences will he encounter.

He could see everything clearly and clearly.

But Zhang Juzheng knew what he had to do, and he knew he had to do it.

Set up your mind for the heaven and earth, set up your life for the people, set your mind for the sages of the past, and create peace for the world!

Mencius said, sacrifice your life for righteousness.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng read another sentence.

That is, although there are tens of millions of people!
I'm going!
