The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 620 Wanli: I make the final decision on everything!
{Perhaps the only person who could have prevented this tragedy from happening was the Emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Li.}
{But this old lady who had given Zhang Juzheng unlimited trust and support during his lifetime was not seen or heard during the "anti-Zhang" incident.}
{How can one word "sigh" describe it.}
{After all of Zhang Juzheng's property was confiscated and sold, it totaled about 200,000 taels of silver, less than one twentieth of Yan Song's.}
{But by this point, Zhang Juzheng's entire family was destroyed.}
{Zhu Yijun once promised Zhang Juzheng that he would "only look after Mr. Zhang's descendants", which is really ironic.}
……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
"Graceless."

Liu Bingyi knew that the emperors of the Liu family were also ungrateful, except for one emperor who could not be named but who just liked to spread swine fever!

The Liu family still needs to talk about the basic bottom line.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Juzheng had served the country for ten years. Even if he had made mistakes, he would not have ended up with his old mother imprisoned and his weak son hanged!

What's more, they want to open the coffin and mutilate the body? !

Even if it was treason and rebellion, it would be no more than this...

……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
Everyone in the hall wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Because it is hard not to associate this result with the Huo family.

Although there are huge differences, the results are basically the same.

"To eliminate the long-standing abuses and create a new policy, I have worked hard and devoted myself to it..."

Huangfu Song didn't know what he was thinking of, and he sighed:

"I was given the task of advising the emperor when the country was in doubt and I took charge of the government."

"The grain in Taicang can support several years, and the gold in Jiong Temple has accumulated to more than 4 million."

"In this way, one can cultivate the virtue of a ruler, strictly examine achievements, comprehensively analyze names and facts, and check the acreage of land. This is truly an economic talent."

"It is a pity that the calamity took hold of him, and his authority over his master overthrew him. Not long after his death, he was slaughtered and humiliated."

Everyone felt uncomfortable hearing this.

Because they thought of Zhuge Liang.

The virtue of a king, his reputation, his land, and his economy.

As for authority...it's also extremely powerful!

The only difference is that even when Zhuge Liang held great power, he still strictly abided by the relationship between the ruler and his subjects.

Do not boast of your achievements and do not rely on your age.

However, Zhang Juzheng manipulated the power too much.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

Then the problem is coming.

The so-called harmony between ruler and minister requires the joint efforts of ruler and minister to achieve success, right?
Do they still remember how Xun Yu died...

Everyone was calculating in their hearts.

Sure enough, it has to be the emperor of the Liu family!

The lowest limit is no more than Emperor Liu Houzhu.

Suddenly I really want to teach the Han people a lesson!
……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Liu Chan was so angry that he was shaking all over!

He wiped his tears and said with trembling lips:
"Amazing news... Amazing news!"

Zhuge Liang could foresee that Zhang Juzheng would be liquidated.

Because it was common throughout history for a new monarch to attack, demote, or even kill important officials of the previous dynasty after taking power.

But as long as they do not violate various political rules, most of them can be accepted by people of the time.

For example, Emperor Gaozong of Song ordered Zhang Bangchang to be executed.

But what happened to the Zhang family was truly a tragedy!
A routine house search turned into a tragic case in which seventeen people starved to death and the eldest son was forced to commit suicide!

The Huo family had brought that upon themselves, and Huo Guang's posthumous honor still lives on.

"Why? Why does he hate Zhang Juzheng, who has made great contributions, so much?"

Liu Chan really couldn't understand.

What a good minister!

He can work, govern the country, and teach people!
Definitely a low-class father!

Isn't it good for me to be the one who makes sacrifices? Why do you always want to rule the country yourself? How tiring!

"I actually thought that my crime deserved to be broken into pieces and the body mutilated!"

"unredressed injustice!"

"It's an unjustifiable injustice!"

Liu Chan was angry!
He thought the emperor of the Song Dynasty was excessive enough!

Fan Zhongyan, Di Qing, Wang Anshi, Zong Ze, Yue Fei, except for that son of Song Gaozong, the other ministers did not end up like this!
But what about the Ming emperors?

Not counting Zhu Yuanzhang, the "god" who transcends the scope

Yu Qian, Wang Yue, Zhang Juzheng! Little Zongze! Little Huo Qubing! Little Prime Minister!

All of them were wrongly humiliated and brought to their deaths!
"How can there be such a sinister person in the world!"

"No wonder your grave was dug up and your body was destroyed!"

……

[No one knows why Wanli exploded so violently. ]

[But the achievements that Zhang Juzheng had made over the past ten years were before him, and they could not be erased.]

【So "overthrowing Zhang" became a touchstone. Everything that Zhang Juzheng opposed should be supported. Everything that Zhang Juzheng supported should be opposed. 】

[In the court, the camps are opposite, it's either this or that, if you are not labeled as a "gentleman", you are a "villain"]

【Wanli reinstated all the lazy people dismissed by Zhang Juzheng, and exiled some civil and military officials who had proven to be quite capable during Zhang Juzheng's time.】

[Qi Jiguang, a famous general, guarded Ji and Liao for more than ten years, and the Mongolian cavalry did not dare to act rashly in front of him.]

[In February of the 1583th year of the Wanli reign (), one month before Zhang Juzheng was stripped of his posthumous title, Qi Jiguang was impeached for his lack of achievements in the north and was transferred to Guangdong.]

[In the 13th year of the Wanli reign, he was impeached again and resigned and returned home. He died of depression three years later at the age of 60.]

……

{When evaluating the military achievements of historical figures, in addition to military records, there are two other very important indicators.}
{It is the ability to come up with new and very important military ideas and to achieve extremely ambitious political ambitions through military means.}
{The top generals in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were probably only Genghis Khan, Xu Da, Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong.}
{As one of the top military strategists in ancient China, Qi Jiguang's extraordinary military exploits in pacifying the Japanese invaders in the south and the barbarians in the north over a period of twenty years are not even worth mentioning compared to his two outstanding contributions.}
{First, Qi Jiguang’s thoughts on military management have completely entered the stage of modern military theory system.}
{Long-term absence from work and standardized military training. A very strict hierarchical command system, complete equipment, and strict discipline are all the systems of modern regular armies.}
{In addition, the Qi Family Army also emphasized loyalty to the emperor and patriotism during its construction.}
{The military song "Victory Song" of the Qi Family Army is a high-level summary of Qi Jiguang's thoughts and practices in managing the army.}
{Secondly, Qi Jiguang realized the role of hot weapons and actively improved and utilized them.}
{Although there are records of firearms being used in wars since the Northern Song Dynasty, in general, firearms were mainly used for sieges and were rarely used in field battles.}
{However, taking advantage of the opportunity of Western firearms being gradually imported into China during the Jiajing period, Qi Jiguang was able to break away from the limitations of the times, realize the importance of firearms, and actively improve and use them.}
{Qi's army used bird guns and tiger squat cannons in an organized manner, which played an extremely effective role in field battles.}
{In a sense, the Qi Family Army was a modern army that was gradually transitioning to hot weapons.}
{It would be a bit too much to use such a force to deal with the scattered Japanese pirates or the Mongolian cavalry with a very primitive organizational structure.}
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
There was not even a moment of mourning for the tragic scene of loyal ministers and generals being purged.

What Liu Che immediately thought of was how to build an army to protect the country!
That is……

"We will train a national defense army with full staffing, adequate salaries, and extremely strict military discipline and training!"

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Che laughed loudly!

"It's worth it!"

"Your Ming Dynasty is still somewhat useful!"

"No, it's much more useful!"

"Hahahaha!"

Wei Zifu held little Liu Ju in her arms.

The mother and son had no expression on their faces.

This is truly a natural born emperor.

……

[Pan Jixun, who had spoken fairly for Zhang Juzheng, was an expert in water management. During the "Jiangling Administration" period, he was highly valued for managing the Yellow River. At this time, he was also ordered to return home.]

【Later, the Yellow River flooded, and the court had no choice but to invite him out again. 】

……

On the canopy.

In front of the Ming territory, the tall, resolute and solemn figure disappeared.

The emperor, with his back to the world, slowly turned around.

Not as naive and smart as he was when he was young.

At this time, the emperor was like a beast out of a cage.

There is endless greed in his eyes!
"boom!"

The emperor covered the territory with one hand.

The corners of his mouth turned up.

……

[Perhaps it is because I have been suppressed too much. ]

【After Wanli took power, the suppressed desire for power was released without restraint. 】

[My mantra when handling government affairs is:]

[“Nowadays, whoever I employ is not my own decision.”]

[“I personally review the memorials and make my own decisions on all matters.”]

[After taking control of the government, Wanli spent a lot of energy to change his previous image of obeying the orders of the prime minister and the empress dowager, emphasizing that "everything is decided by me alone"]

[After that, he devoted considerable attention to "border affairs" and tried to revive the glory of the Celestial Empire.]

【And the country's strong power also made it possible for him to realize his ambitions. 】

【Therefore, the "Three Major Expeditions of Wanli" became his most praised political achievements. 】
