I became a person below one person and above ten thousand people on my own, regardless of family background. Because of Zhang and Ming Dynasty, his death date was postponed.
He is just a child of an ordinary family. He started from there, made unremitting efforts and forbearance, and finally became the founder of a dynasty. How many people have been able to do this since ancient times? It is for this reason that he deserves to be described, studied and respected.
However, Zhang is an excellent politician and man.
History is not perfect, nor will celebrities be perfect.
For example, Zhang's death, at that time, many people concluded that his death was due to taking too many aphrodisiacs.
What the hell is going on?
0 1
Zhang was born in 1525 and died in 1582. He was a politician and reformer in the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty, "there is no more exciting topic than Zhang".
This topic not only evaluates the reform he led the whole empire, but also analyzes the reasons for his miscalculation.
The evaluation of Zhang in the regular textbook of Ming History is: the contribution lies in the country, but in the family.
Comrade Harry, who has been knocked down by him countless times, is similar to the evaluation of Ming history. He is good at seeking the country, not the body.
The above content is more formal and on the table. Simply put, Zhang has done a lot of things that are beneficial to the country, but his life and private life are particularly erosive, which is also the key factor for his failure.
02
What happened to Zhang's private life? Let's start with the cause of his death.
When you become a record, basically the emperor has to do heavy work and drink spicy food. The emperor can't be extravagant. There are toilets in his sedan chair, not to mention how luxurious it is.
However, Zhang, who lived a comfortable life and a well-off life, lived to the age of 58. According to the truth, he should not live long.
There are several theories about his death:
The first statement: exhausted.
People who hold this view think that being the second in command is too tiring, but as a record, there are really too many things to worry about, such as political reform, the affair of the queen, fighting with the little emperor and killing people who are different from themselves.
He has been in the limelight, a winner and in good spirits. If you want to say tired, you can't actually talk about it. Maybe fighting is fun.
Besides, with so many employees, the scheduled work must always be arranged.
As a reformer, I believe this management ability is available.
So I don't believe that he is tired, and many people don't believe this view.
The second statement: people who died of hemorrhoids.
There is a passage in Zhang Xin that says: although the hemorrhoid root is weak, the spleen and stomach are weak, so it is almost unbearable to eat.
So after his death, many people adopted this statement. After all, it is said by the parties themselves, which is highly credible.
However, someone immediately retorted that Zhang was talking nonsense. So there is a third statement.
The third statement: if you eat too much aphrodisiac, you will die.
The first person to jump out is Wang Shizhen, a contemporary politician and an incorruptible scholar.
Comrade Wang Shizhen wrote an article called Biography of Cabinet Records since Jiajing, which mentioned that Zhang Huiji's death was not hemorrhoids at all, but an aphrodisiac.
Wang Shizhen said that this aphrodisiac was too dry and strong, and she used a cold medicine, so she fell ill and died.
The second person who jumped out was Shen Defu, a writer of the Ming Dynasty.
He wrote a book called Supplement to Wan Yeli, which said that Mr. Zhang "can't wear a mink hat in severe winter". The main reason is that he takes an aphrodisiac (sealing the kidney) every day, and his body naturally warms up. However, this can be a bitter experience for hundreds of officials, who can only follow Zhang with his bare head and get cold in cold days. It is clearly stated in this book that Zhang is taking an aphrodisiac.
It is more clear here that Zhang died of eating seal kidney.
So we dug and dug and found two unexpected situations.
03
The first news is that Zhang never took aphrodisiac until he was old, but since he was 28 years old, he insisted on taking it all the year round, and something went wrong. The main reason is that he has too many wives, and he has to take aphrodisiac to get it. There is also an aphrodisiac that makes him politically prosperous, which leads to wearing a short shirt to work in court, and other officials have to wear mink.
An aphrodisiac can strengthen yang, avoid colds and be full of energy. Identification is complete.
The second exciting news is that this medicine was not given by others. Many historical data confirmed that these kidney seals were sent by Qi Jiguang.
Our textbooks have repeatedly told us that Qi Jiguang was a general in the Ming Dynasty who fought against Japan, Qi Jiguang was a national hero, and the "Qijiajun" led by Qi Jiguang was famous far and near, which made the enemy frightened.
The truth may not be what we think.
So the question is, how did Qi Jiguang and Zhang hook up? There are two reasons.
First, Qi Jiguang will come especially.
Qi Jiguang comes from a poor bureaucratic family, and when he enters the officialdom, he will also have a relationship with Zhang. For example, in the thirty-second year of Jiajing (1553), Zhang recommended 25-year-old Qi Jiguang to manage Jiaodong Peninsula. In order to be grateful, it is normal for him to send out aphrodisiacs rich in Jiaodong Peninsula. Why not help each other?
Second, Zhang needs a staunch supporter like Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang is good at fighting and is deeply loved by Zhang.
Qi Jiguang is also a staunch advocate of Zhang's political reform.
Therefore, two people are bosom friends, one outside and the other inside, supporting each other and growing together.
04
So, at the age of 28, Zhang began to take an aphrodisiac given by Qi Jiguang.
You happen to be thirsty, and I happen to have medicine.
Qi Jiguang not only sent medicine, but also sent one beauty after another.
In this way, on the one hand, Zhang Yi is a reformed woman; on the other hand, she is supported by an aphrodisiac. She has been eating for almost 30 years, and it is not unusual to die. But he didn't pay attention to private life and restrained his desires, which may not be a big deal among officials at that time, but such a thing became evidence of his calculation after his death.
05
History is just a chart of interpersonal relationships.
Wang Shizhen wrote Zhang, so what's the hatred between him and Zhang?
1576, in May of Wanli four years, Mr. Wang Shizhen, a young cynic in the Ming Dynasty, declared his salary by "discussing the salary of this town with capital, strengthening the local area with capital". One of them went to complain that Zhang's brother-in-law Wang bullied Jiangling magistrate of a county, and Wang Shizhen asked the hell to pay for it. This guy also wrote to Zhang, saying that I had already told your brother-in-law and said hello to you. I'm really sorry.
Zhang, who almost became the boss of the empire, was also done by a subordinate, expressing dissatisfaction with this, so they had bad blood.
1June, 576, Zhang took a knife to send Wang Shizhen to Nanjing Dali Temple.
1September 576, Zhang continued to engage in Wang Shizhen and ordered the official department to take Wang Shizhen's salary, which was gone.
1576 10 Zhang continued to engage in Wang Shizhen, ordered the punishments to impeach Wang Shizhen in this matter, and let Wang Shizhen go back to his hometown to listen to politics.
It's done. Let's call it a day.
Measure for measure, this world, this world, has been seen for a long time, and it has been thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Without eternal wealth, it will be liquidated at one time.
So, Wang Shizhen dug up Zhang's black history, which we couldn't believe.
However, because there are other contemporaries to prove it, it is slightly credible.
Believe it or not, I do.
Maybe this is the real history.
