A year ago, Zhang Juzheng ushered in his birthday. Today, we look back at the life of this historical giant and interpret his great influence on the Ming Dynasty.
One. 
Zhang Juzheng, born in Jiangling County, with his brilliant prodigy posture, became a jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, and began his glorious journey in the Ming Dynasty. He served as the left squire of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and was later promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, he created the era of "Wanli Zhongxing" and drew a strong stroke for the history of the Ming Dynasty.
In the forty-third year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng became the attendant of Zhu Zaiyuan, the king of Yu, laying a solid foundation for his future accession to the throne of Emperor Longqing in the first year of Longqing. With Zhang Juzheng's unremitting efforts, he replaced Gao Gong as the first assistant of the cabinet in the sixth year of Longqing, and was promoted to a scholar of the Zhongji Temple, beginning his ** decade of leading the Ming Dynasty.
Two. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the post of prime minister was abolished, and the first assistant of the cabinet became the core figure of the imperial court. Zhang Juzheng is in this role, like Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, facing the young Wanli Emperor, with power in his hands, and becoming the promoter of reform. In the first year of Wanli, he proposed the implementation of the "examination method" to clearly divide the responsibilities of the government and government, improve the efficiency of the operation, and lay the foundation for "Wanli Zhongxing".
In the sixth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng took the lead in trying to clear the land in Fujian, and the results were remarkable. In the eighth year of Wanli, he successfully played the Wanli Emperor and expanded the land of Qingzhang throughout the country, further increasing the income of the Ming Dynasty. This series of changes created a material foundation for "Wanli Zhongxing", which enabled the Ming Dynasty to recover its national strength and enter a period of prosperity.
Three. 
In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng not only had outstanding performance in military defense, but also completely changed the enslavement system of the Ming Dynasty through the implementation of the "One Whip Law". This reform has reduced the burden on the people, limited fraud, and promoted the development of society. So far, Zhang Juzheng's changes have touched the interests of many ministers, making his influence more and more significant.
Four. 
However, Zhang Juzheng's brilliant achievements did not bring comfort to his later years. On June 20, the tenth year of Wanli, he passed away, and Mingshenzong dropped out of the dynasty for him, and after his death, he ordered to raid his home, cut off his official position, property, and even take away the seal book and four generations of edicts given during his lifetime. This ending is embarrassing.
It was not until the second year of the Apocalypse that the Emperor of the Apocalypse restored Zhang Juzheng, but unfortunately, this was an era that could not be perceived by the eyes of the world. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Apocalypse realized the important role of Zhang Juzheng, but the edifice was already about to fall.
This article re-examines Zhang Juzheng's rise and immortal contributions, and deeply analyzes his key role in "Wanli Zhongxing". Zhang Juzheng was not only an outstanding politician, but also the last giant of change in the history of the Ming Dynasty. His glorious course has achieved an era of "Wanli Zhongxing" and left a profound historical imprint.
Zhang Juzheng's life is full of legends and glory, and his great contribution and far-reaching influence in the history of the Ming Dynasty are really remarkable. The detailed description of his rise and his transformation of the Ming Dynasty gives a deeper understanding of the remarkable talent of this brilliant statesman.
First of all, Zhang's early experience showed the extraordinary talent he showed at a young age. He became a Jinshi in Jiajing for 26 years and held important positions, laying a solid foundation for his later political career. This also reflects the importance that the Ming Dynasty attached to talents at that time, not only focusing on origin, but also on personal talent and knowledge.
Secondly, the article details that Zhang Juzheng, under the role of the first assistant to the cabinet, created the era of "Wanli Zhongxing" through a series of reform measures. His shrewd measures in government affairs, such as the implementation of the "examination method" and the clearing of land, effectively improved the operational efficiency of the imperial court and the state's fiscal revenue. This series of changes created favorable conditions for the prosperity and stability of the Ming Dynasty.
The article also highlights Zhang Juzheng's outstanding performance in military defense, which effectively defended the border areas of the Ming Dynasty through such means as carefully selecting the generals stationed in the border, training troops to prepare for war, and building border fortresses. His strategic vision and leadership contributed immensely to the security and stability of the Ming Dynasty.
However, in contrast to Zhang Juzheng's great contribution was the tragic end of his later years. The order of the Myojin Sect to raid the house and cut off the official position and property is really a cruel treatment for a politician who has worked hard for the country. This also reflects the complexity of the intrigues within the imperial court at the time, and the great impact of political struggles on the fate of individuals.
In the end, the Emperor of the Apocalypse later restored Zhang Juzheng, although it was a little late, but he also expressed his affirmation of this great statesman. However, Mr. Zhang's death has made it impossible for the wise politician to witness his honor restored.
Overall, Zhang Ju is an important figure in the history of the Ming Dynasty that cannot be ignored. His life is full of legends, and his contributions have had a profound impact on the development of Chinese history. Through a detailed analysis of his life, the article makes readers more deeply aware of the greatness and misfortune of this politician, and also gives us a more comprehensive understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty.
