Chapter 468 The war resumes: The last song of the Ming Dynasty, after Zhang Juzheng, there will be no more Zhang Juzheng ()
Zhang Juzheng was a powerful official, ambitious and capable, and wanted to continue working.

However, the stronger the Ming Dynasty became, the more fierce internal strife became. A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by ant nests, and it would eventually collapse on its own.

This is true not only during the Ming Dynasty, but throughout the entire history of China.

Moreover, Emperor Shizu injected a strange bloodline into the Ming Dynasty. It was a feudal dynasty, but he transformed it into a modern civilized country.

It was obviously a conservative hegemonic empire, but he transformed it into a half-enlightened and half-feudal monster.

Reform often, but never radically.

It is obviously very enlightened, but it still retains feudal ideas.

It is obviously a modern civilization, but it is full of constraints from Confucian ethics.

Although industrialization is progressing step by step, the imperial system is as stable as Mount Tai.

But it was twisted into one country, a modern civilized country, and a world hegemon.

This is the energy that Emperor Shizu injected into the Ming Dynasty, which allowed this country to stand firm despite the ups and downs; made this country flourish with fire, but still large and prosperous; allowed this country to shuttle back and forth between modernity and feudalism, and formed the Ming Dynasty today. culture.

Open, yet conservative.

Civilized, yet barbaric.

Technology, but with a strong sense of bureaucracy.

Modern society is full of strict hierarchies.

New ideas always carry feudal cancer; the new era is full of feudal poison, and bureaucracy, feudalism, and class have become the lingering nightmare that haunts the Ming Dynasty.

Some people say that these thoughts are deeply ingrained and cannot be eradicated no matter what.

But why did these things disappear when those people moved to another place to live?

These are the rules of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, we must accept these rules.

Twisted, tangled, and abnormal, yet prosperous, rich, and powerful.

There is a layer of window paper between these two sides.

Fire and flowers.

There are flowers on the front and fire on the back.

Punching the window paper will send Ming Dynasty into fiery purgatory. Will what is burned out be real gold or a pile of ruins?

This is a debatable topic.

And these things were all injected into the Ming Dynasty by Emperor Shizu.

A country full of feudalism evolved into a modern super civilization and wiped out other civilizations, making this civilization the mainstream of the world.

Without comparison, you don’t know how bad you are.

Just when the Ming Dynasty's powerful class was shrouded in aura, some people among the people had already discovered this problem and began to quietly form a party, hoping to compete with God.

Does Zhang Juzheng not understand these issues?
Don’t the courtiers in the court understand?
Understand!
Emperor Jingtai formulated these core policies around only one thing, which was imperial power.

But now it is the imperial power that collides with Zhang Juzheng.

He wanted to do it until he died.

He wanted to replace the emperor system with a responsible cabinet system, which was to conflict with imperial power.

Don't think that Zhang Juzheng dared to take it all after Emperor Longqing gave up imperial power. Zhu Qiyu only died more than sixty years ago, but his influence is still extremely huge.

The most important thing is that the policies used by the Ming Dynasty were all formulated by him. The core of these policies is to support the emperor.

The emperor is the core of all policies of the Ming Dynasty. As long as there is no emperor, all policies of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to work.

This is also the reason why Daming is so stubborn.

If you throw the emperor out and look at the overall situation, everything will be explained.

Indeed, the core of all policies Zhu Qiyu formulates is for the chair under his butt.

Therefore, the political ecology of Ningba in the Ming Dynasty is directly related to the imperial system.

In order to ensure the smooth inheritance of the imperial system, Zhu Qiyu also left many backup tools: 1. Civil and military checks and balances, Cabinet ministry checks and balances, Military Aircraft Department and Fifth Army Governor's Mansion checks and balances;
The power of the Ming Dynasty's nobles was at its greatest in the Jingtai Dynasty. After two world wars, the status of military generals was slightly higher than that of civilian officials. This is a fact.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was in power and wanted to win over nobles and famous generals like Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to serve as humerus. He could no longer be driven around as his lackeys.

Xianzong Zhu Jianji even expanded the authority of the Military Aircraft Department and transferred part of the power of the cabinet to the Military Aircraft Department, further reducing the power of cabinet ministers, while weakening the power of the civil and military affairs of the DPRK and China, and centralization of power reached its peak.

Second, the public opinion system was separated from the hands of civil officials, and the voices of newspapers, media, and even the people gradually became the mainstream. This is what Zhu Qiyu called the system of political participation and consultation;

Whether the emperor is good or bad is the so-called posthumous name. In the past, it was completely in the hands of civil servants. If civil servants praised him as a good emperor, then people would brag that he was a good emperor through the ages. Otherwise, he would be a bad emperor and a bad emperor.

Things started to change from the Jingtai Dynasty.

After sixty or seventy years of development, it has gradually come into the hands of the people.

Civil officials' control over public opinion gradually declined.

It is tantamount to say that those who currently hold the power of public opinion are very loose among the people and cannot form a unified voice.

Sometimes a unified voice is a good thing, and sometimes a chaotic voice is a good thing.

It depends on how politics is played and who is sitting on it.

The Ming Dynasty used public opinion to weaken the authority of civilian officials, then used civilian officials to suppress military generals, and then regarded nobles as the emperor's base.

Therefore, the more dispersed the public opinion is, the better, the more chaotic the better, and it is better if everything is available. Only then can the emperor's position be stable, and then the emperor can confidently and boldly suppress the generals with civilian officials. The generals can only act like dogs to the emperor. This creates a closed loop.

This is the core of the political form shaped by the Jingtai Dynasty.

3. The authority to compile textbooks lies in the palace.

This is very tricky. Zhang Juzheng admires the old emperor even now, because for so many years, few people have discovered how important the right to compile textbooks is!

This compilation power was not always in the hands of the emperor.

At that time, Zhu Qiyu solicited opinions from the whole society in order to compile teaching materials. This was his favorite thing to do. Later, many people were involved in the compilation, and then they were deleted and revised little by little, and finally released.

Over time, this formed a system.

Participation from all walks of life, not limited to senior political officials, private scholars, Jinshi, parents, campus students, researchers, etc., gathers people from all walks of life to compile textbooks, and then go through review and screening. It will take about ten to fifteen years. A new set of textbooks is required.

Textbooks are new ideas and must be constantly updated. First of all, they must conform to the social environment at that time, and secondly, they must meet the needs of education, and they must also keep pace with the times. After all, there are new eras, new visions, and new developments.

The power to compile and decide on textbooks remained in the palace.

Civil servants noticed that even military generals had seized the right to compile textbooks. However, except the emperor, no one could coordinate the drafts from all over the world.

Later, this power remained in the palace and continues to this day.

Don't think that Emperor Longqing was suppressed by Zhang Juzheng and did not dare to raise his head. He indeed did not dare to be an emperor, but he firmly held the right to compile textbooks.

For more than ten years, he has been compiling textbooks himself.

This is very scary.

The emperor controls the power of public opinion and is invincible.

Especially Emperor Longqing, he did lose his imperial power. The problem is that he didn't do anything wrong. How could a pure and flawless person turn black?
In these years, Emperor Longqing devoted himself to being a scholar in the palace, publishing articles, replying to readers, and compiling textbooks. He attached great importance to education, which earned him a good reputation among the people.

If you pay attention to education, he can guide the children's thoughts in the next fifteen years.

The compilation of textbooks is based on the previous set of textbooks, with appropriate additions and subtractions, which means that his ideas will guide students for at least thirty years.

When these children grow up, they will hate Zhang Juzheng to death.

Besides, before the end of the world war, Zhang Juzheng had already felt tremendous pressure. Public opinion was saying that Emperor Longqing was good and he should return power to Longqing.

The main reason is that Emperor Longqing has disguised himself too well in recent years.

He imitated Zhu Qiyu in every aspect, reporting the income and expenditure of internal funds to the public, and then donating them all. This was sacrificing money to gain a good reputation.

At the same time, he paid attention to education. During his years as emperor, he paid more attention to education than any other emperor. He also compiled textbooks personally, visited private classrooms to see how children were learning, listened to voices from all walks of life, and compiled textbooks.

He has the reputation of a teaching emperor. He also improves the salary and social status of teachers, pays attention to the voices of children in schools, and listens to what children think.

Zhang Juzheng also knew that Emperor Longqing was asking for good reputation.

But there was nothing he could do.

There are many reasons. Firstly, he is busy with military and political affairs. Secondly, he cannot take care of Emperor Longqing in everything. He and Emperor Longqing are in a cooperative relationship. Emperor Longqing is willing to give up power. He must be grateful. If he is not sensible, Emperor Longqing will make trouble. The central government is politically unstable, and he cannot concentrate on dealing with the outside world.

Therefore, as long as Emperor Longqing doesn't make trouble, let him be.

Emperor Longqing was cautious and cautious. He had been seeking a good reputation over the years and was otherwise very obedient.

Another person who restricted Zhang Juzheng was Feng Bao.

His ability to successfully control the government was closely related to Feng Bao's complementarity. The problem was that Feng Bao was a eunuch and he was born to be Emperor Longqing's.

If Zhang Juzheng abolished the imperial system, where would Feng Bao go?
The emperor is gone, where are the eunuchs? Without eunuchs, what’s the point of being a ceremonial supervisor? How to ensure Feng Bao's power?

Even if Zhang Juzheng told him that without the emperor, you would still be my chief steward, Feng Bao would just say: Get out!

Therefore, Feng Bao was the greatest protector of imperial power.

This is the core reason why Zhu Qiyu pays more and more attention to eunuchs!

Eunuchs are the last guarantee of imperial power.

However, eunuchs who would cause harm to the country and the people could not be used. They had to go through a strict selection system in the palace. In fact, it was similar to the imperial examination. They were all capable talents who were slowly cultivated.

As long as the Director of Ceremonies can operate normally, even if the emperor does not go to court, the Ming Dynasty will not be in chaos.

Therefore, during the reign of Zhu Qiyu, extremely strict restrictions were imposed on the eunuch system. All eunuchs who climbed to the top were guaranteed to be capable, and their mental abilities were not considered, only their abilities were considered.

And Feng Bao was the die-hard loyalist left to Longqing by Emperor Jiajing.

He is very loyal to Long Qing.

Zhang Ju can be a powerful minister, but he cannot be a treacherous minister.

Even the huge number of nobles in the Ming Dynasty would never agree to Zhang Juzheng's chaos in the government. Once the Ming Dynasty is gone, what will happen to their titles of separation from the country?
And the main force under him, Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Li Chengliang, would not agree either.

We are serving the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has not sorry for us. Why are we rebelling?

This is the same voice in the military!

The Ming Dynasty provided salary and subsidies, which were not bad at all. The soldiers had a high social status, often won battles, and received soft bonuses. Why did they rebel? I rebelled, what will my family do?

Just say Qi Jiguang, if you force him to rebel, he won't rebel.

Now that you've become a marquis, you're still rebelling, right?
Besides, my family has been a good citizen for generations. Even if I rebel because of my brain disease, my brothers, uncles and nephews will probably send me to a mental hospital tomorrow. This is really crazy.

I am just a soldier who obeys orders. The Ming Dynasty gave me a title and an official career. The emperor treated me well. Why did I rebel? Even if I have no conscience and am not a human being, and I rebel, who will believe me in the future? This is the Ming Dynasty, not the Five Dynasties.

The core issue is that I, Qi Jiguang, have no treason in my head. I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, not to you, Zhang Juzheng!

We can have a superior-subordinate relationship. I can rely on you to be an official, and I can be scolded, but you cannot be the emperor. My Qi family has been loyal for generations and has no rebellious gene.

The civil servants disagreed even more.

If there is a Jiajing sitting on it, he probably has some thoughts. The problem is that Emperor Longqing is honest. We were quite comfortable in Ming Dynasty, and everyone adapted to the life of Ming Dynasty. Suddenly Ming Dynasty disappeared, and everyone was confused about the future life. Ah, I don’t get used to it.

Moreover, what civil servants like most is stability.

It is the general who likes troubled times.

In troubled times, the lives of civil servants are no longer at stake. Who wants to live a precarious life?

Political struggles don’t kill anyone.

Everyone fights back and forth, just for fun. Anyway, if you lose, you can go back and take care of your old age as usual. In a few years, you may become an official again.

The point is, the Mengyin system of the Jingtai Dynasty was good.

Who doesn't have two troubled sons in their family who can always get into the position of official? Even if they are kicked out in a few years, it would be better than being cut down when troubled times come, right?
A son like this would turn out to be a cheat in troubled times, so he wouldn't have to worry about peace and prosperity.

Also, is it the Ming Dynasty or the prosperous age? In the prosperous age, you rebelled? Brother, you are crazy, we are normal people.

The most important thing is that among the people, Xu Jie and Gao Gong are still watching. If you, Zhang Juzheng, dare to take a step forward, they will destroy you!
The core issue is that the Ming Dynasty will not be in chaos!
Don’t say there’s no chaos anymore, it’s still a prosperous time. During the Second World War, at least the Ming Dynasty still maintained its status as the world's hegemon. People's lives were improving, officials were comfortable in their jobs, and the emperor was not only right, but also paid special attention to education. Why should the emperor system be abolished?

The reason why civil servants are talking nonsense in newspapers is because of this.

It's just a random shouting to gain traffic.

Are you serious?

Stop making trouble, you Zhang Juzheng can become a powerful minister just because the world war is coming and we need you to do things. You really think you are the right one, are you thinking too much?
No one in the world regards Zhang Juzheng as emperor.

Only Zhang Juzheng took it seriously.

However, in the ninth year of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng also realized that it was impossible.

Because in the ninth year of Longqing, he did something.

If he wanted to dominate the Ming Dynasty, he had to get the support of the military. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had four army commanders, and the southern army commander Qi Jiguang had an army of 170 million.

It can be said that Qi Jiguang was promoted by him, and he was born with the label of Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, in the ninth year of Longqing, he gave Qi Jiguang a decree to mobilize the army, but it was not stamped with the emperor's seal.

As a result, Qi Jiguang didn't move!
He sent a telegram ordering Qi Jiguang to act according to his will, but Qi Jiguang turned a deaf ear.

Until the seal is requested from the palace and sealed.

Only then did Qi Jiguang move.

This incident greatly touched Zhang Juzheng. It was impossible for him to follow the power cabinet system. Without the Emperor's Seal, even Qi Jiguang would not listen to him, let alone others.

This shows that the Ming Dynasty has not lost the hearts of the people in the world. The people have a good impression of the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, and the good impression is deep-rooted.

Would Qi Jiguang not understand his deep meaning?

It’s so clear!

Moreover, Qi Jiguang had no backer except him in the court, unlike Hu Zongxian, who was a Jinshi.

But Qi Jiguang would rather lose his official position than show any disloyalty. He told you directly: I am not loyal to Zhang Juzheng, but to Ming Dynasty! Don't think wrongly, if you dare to take that step, I will destroy you first!
In the same year, he also tested Yu Dayou in this way, and Yu Dayou just thought he was farting.

Without the Emperor's Seal, no one can mobilize him.

The Emperor's Seal was authorized by Emperor Longqing to be used by him.

If Emperor Longqing takes it back, military power will also be taken back!
This incident made Zhang Juzheng break into a cold sweat.

The unrealistic thoughts were completely eliminated.

This is also the reason why the world war lasted for another four years, because he did not want it to end. The end of the war meant that the cunning rabbit would die and the lackey would be cooked.

Maybe Emperor Longqing would not do this, but the officials in the court would definitely fight against Zhang, just like when Xu Jie fought against Yan Song, Gao Gong fought against Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng fought against Gao Gong, it was the same endless cycle.

Don't think that the world will not change without Zhang Juzheng. Don't think that Zhang Juzheng will be in power forever because of his outstanding achievements in World War II.

Stop dreaming, it won't happen.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong are both outstanding figures, followed by He Zongyan, Sun Piyang and Ye Xianggao. These people must not be lonely.

Even Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou would clear their relationship with him and then command King Qin to have him die in a matter of minutes.

In fact, he may not even be able to save his life.

Therefore, in this world war, he must seize huge military exploits, first to save his own life, and secondly to protect his power.

As long as his contribution is great enough, he will not be liquidated.

In the thirteenth year of Longqing, when various countries showed signs of weakness.

The Ming Dynasty began to counterattack the world.

In the fifteenth year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the country.

In the same year, Xiguo was destroyed.

The Ming Dynasty dominated all of East Asia.

In the 16th year of Longqing's reign, the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Expeditionary Army defeated the Zhou and Yan coalition forces in the Battle of Sulawei Sea. In the second year, they landed in Oceania to fight against the Zhou Kingdom.

In the 17th year of Longqing's reign, the Ming Dynasty defeated the American coalition forces in the Pacific naval battle and captured Hawaii.

In the same year, the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army won the Battle of Cairo, regained control of the Cairo Canal, and returned to the Mediterranean.

In the 18th year of Longqing's reign, the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army landed on the African continent and attacked the Kingdom of Qian.

In the 19th year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty regained control of the British Islands, regained control of Iceland, and defeated the French navy.

In the 20th year of Longqing's reign, the Ming Qi naval battle occurred in the Baltic Sea, and the Ming army was defeated.

In the 21st year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty used Hawaii as a springboard to attack North and South America. The war completely spread from the Ming Dynasty to the world.

The world war has lasted for seventeen years.

The war spread to more than 1.1 countries and involved more than million people. The war brought huge disasters to the world.

Many Ming vassal states disappeared in the long river of history.

Some countries rise and some fall.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty reached a terrifying 2500 million square kilometers, the largest in history.

Including the land actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty, it has exceeded 4000 million square kilometers.

However, this also puts the fate of the Ming Dynasty on the line.

The Ming Dynasty went from a short-term prosperity during the war to decline year by year. The number of soldiers recruited by the Ming Dynasty has reached 3000 million, and the voice of armistice is very loud.

People's lives are miserable and their quality of life has plummeted.

The larger the territory, the more difficult it is to rule, and it will breed insects.

Moreover, the whole nation is militarized, and children in every household are proud to be soldiers, and their families cannot control them. But if such children go to the battlefield, they are just cannon fodder. There is no chance of crossing the class.

Out of 30 million people, how many of them survived to become grassroots officers?
How many of them really transcended the class and got a title?
During the seventeen-year world war, only 127 people were knighted, and the number of participants in the war was million, which shows how small this base is.

The reason is very simple. The Ming Dynasty’s nobles and nobles are so powerful that there is no smooth path in politics. How about the army?

Just like a dog from Fang Ying's or Yang Xin's family, they can both become generals and be awarded titles.

But ordinary people, fighting for half their lives, are just low-level generals. They don't even think about climbing up.

The solidification of classes is actually a good thing for the emperor.

As long as the emperor wins over these people, his throne will be guaranteed.

Just like today, Emperor Longqing clearly ignores world affairs, and Zhang Juzheng clearly holds the power, but he cannot shake Emperor Longqing in the slightest. In fact, Emperor Longqing can even take back power at any time.

Just because after consolidating his class, Emperor Longqing knew who to win over, and these people's hearts were with him, so he would always be the emperor.

The reason why some titles were granted.

That was a glimmer of hope for the lower-level generals.

But this glimmer of hope is almost nonexistent. It is just a carrot that holds people in the world moving forward.

After all, not everyone belongs to Qi Jiguang.

Most of the world is ordinary people. Ordinary people do not have amazing talents and rely on their own efforts and a little luck.

Little people are destined to be little people.

Those great figures who are ahead of the tide of the times, no matter when and where they are, they will inevitably shine their own light and illuminate this era.

Zhang Juzheng used the excuse of world war to continue his hegemony.

He does not listen to the voices of the people.

However, Xu Jie and Gao Gong, who had been eyeing Xu Jie and Gao Gong, seized this golden opportunity. Zhang Juzheng appeared in the court because of his own ambitions, in vain for the interests of his family and country, and regardless of the life and death of the people, he was a national thief.

In the 21st year of Longqing's reign, another small opportunity occurred.

Emperor Longqing was ill.

There were voices in the court saying that Zhang Juzheng poisoned Emperor Longqing, causing the emperor to become seriously ill. The key was that Feng Bao, who had been working closely with Zhang Juzheng, chose to believe the rumors.

Feng Bao walked across from Zhang Juzheng for three reasons:
1. While the people were scolding Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao was also scolded. He was carrying the terrible pressure of public opinion, but he did not get more benefits from the Ming Dynasty's expansion, so he was very opposed to the Ming Dynasty's continued expansion;
2. Zhang Juzheng really wanted to replace the emperor, which made him fear the future. After all, eunuchs were the emperor's slaves. If the emperor was gone, what use would eunuchs have? So Emperor Longqing was seriously ill, and he really suspected that Zhang Juzheng was responsible;
3. The clan was dissatisfied with Feng Bao.

The clan after the Jingtai Dynasty has gradually become an important political force in the court.

Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Jianji have been constructing the triangular politics of the Ming Dynasty. Civil servants, nobles, palaces, clans, and relatives form three corners. The iron triangle politics checks and balances each other.

When the clan, relatives, and eunuchs came together, it was easy to influence the imperial power. This was the reason for the decline of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But times have changed, and so has the political environment.

By the Longqing Dynasty, the clan had become an important political force and was Longqing's powerful supporter outside the palace.

As Emperor Longqing became seriously ill, Prince Zhu Changzhi suspected that Zhang Juzheng was responsible. Standing on the side of the clan, the political power of the clan increased instantly.

In the Ming Dynasty, the clan system was based on favors. If the clan wanted to gain political power, they had to cling to the lap of the emperor and the prince, otherwise they would become commoners in a few generations.

When the clan and relatives were dissatisfied with Feng Bao, especially if there was a prince among them, Feng Bao would not dare not take it seriously.

Therefore, Feng Bao must break with Zhang Juzheng.

At this time, even the army began to oppose Zhang Juzheng. The first person to oppose Zhang Juzheng was Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian originally followed Wang Xian's path, but after Wang Xian died, he became Zhang Juzheng's.

But he is not Chu Party.

The cooperation with Zhang Juzheng over the years was nothing more than hypocrisy. When Emperor Longqing fell ill, Hu Zongxian immediately cut off his relationship with Zhang Juzheng and immediately stood up to oppose Zhang Juzheng.

In the 21st year of Longqing's reign, Emperor Longqing fell ill, and Zhang Juzheng realized that it was impossible for him to usurp the Ming Dynasty. He had no chance of becoming Sima Zhao.

The emperor was just sick, and the people suspected that he was the murderer. If the emperor really died, he would have to commit suicide to apologize.

What chilled him the most was the prince's attitude.

He has tried his best to win over the prince Zhu Changzhi, and they are classmates and students of Xu Jie. When Gao Gong was defeated, the prince was the backbone of his side.

Over the years, Zhang Juzheng has been in power, and the prince has also been very supportive. It can be said that they have the same ideals.

But I didn’t expect that he had been pretending for seventeen years!
He was just waiting for an opportunity to flip.

Emperor Longqing's illness was just an excuse for a political struggle.

No one cared what kind of illness Emperor Longqing was suffering from and whether it was serious or not, but they wanted to take the opportunity to push him down Zhang Juzheng.

What made him even more chilling was that Emperor Longqing in the palace chose to pretend to be dead without saying a word.

If he left the palace for a walk or appeared on TV, Zhang Juzheng would not be so passive.

Emperor Longqing was stunned and didn't say a word, forcing the world to boil and rebel against Zhang Juzheng!

Zhang Juzheng shed tears: I have dedicated my life to the Ming Dynasty for seventeen years. If I don’t mention my merits, how much hard work is there? Without me, Zhang Juzheng, how could Ming Dynasty win the Second World War?

If there were no Zhang Juzheng in the world, how would the Ming Dynasty expand its territory? Maintain world dominance?

If there were no Zhang Juzheng in the world, the people would be worse off than dead!
The ignorant common people don’t know that the officials in the court are fighting for power and interests, but don’t you, Emperor Longqing, know?

Without me, Zhang Juzheng, can you secure the throne?

Without me, Zhang Juzheng, can you win the world war?

Without me, Zhang Juzheng...

But when the world war is victorious, it is the time to seize the fruits of victory. You kicked me, Zhang Juzheng, away!

Aren’t you afraid that future generations will be disheartened?

After me, Zhang Juzheng, will there be anyone who dedicated his life to the Ming Dynasty?
After me, Zhang Juzheng, there will be no one available to the Ming Dynasty. Within fifty years, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably decline!
No matter what kind of person I am, Zhang Juzheng, my dedication to the Ming Dynasty is no worse than that of Zhuge Wuhou. I, Zhang Juzheng, do things that no one in the world dares to do! I, Zhang Juzheng, take the blame that no one in the world dares to take! The battles that no one in the world dares to fight, I, Zhang Juzheng, fight! If the people in the world dare not reform, I, Zhang Juzheng, will reform!
But it ended up like this!
Who else will serve the Ming Dynasty in the future?

After Zhang Juzheng, there will be no more Zhang Juzheng in the world!
