First of all, let's sort out the history and see how Zhang entered the center of the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child. Gangneung gifted scholar? /kloc-take the imperial examination at the age of 0/3. If it weren't for the deliberate obstruction of examiner Gu Lin, Zhang 65,438+03 could still be an official. Gu Lin is actually out of love, and he expects Zhang to become a pillar of the country in the future.
Sure enough, Zhang became famous in Longqing Dynasty. After Qin Long ascended the throne, he wanted to do something. He was dissatisfied with many actions of his father, Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Qin Long wanted to operate on Emperor Jiajing's favorite record "Xu Jie". After Xu Jie was forced to be an official, Zhang entered the cabinet. His first fire was a sharp criticism of the political failure of Qin Long dynasty. He submitted the famous "Chen Liu Shi Shu" to the emperor, including provincial discussion, vibration of Ji Gang, heavy imperial edict, nuclear name and reality. His position is not very high, and he ranks last in the cabinet, but Chen Liushi Shu has brought him great fame. The emperor also praised Zhang publicly, but of course some people opposed him.
The emperor's reign was not long, and he soon came to Wanli Dynasty, and Zhang's position also rose to the position of records, a very important minister. The Ming dynasty in Wanli period was a spent force, and the whole world was changing. China is also integrated with the world through the import and export of silver, and it is precisely because of the influx of silver that great changes have taken place in the relations of production in China at that time. Focusing on the reform of land system, Zhang took a series of important measures to revitalize the economy and refresh politics.
On the basis of measuring land, Zhang carried out the tax reform and launched it nationwide? A whip? . "Ming history? Zhang chuan arrived? Respect sovereignty, govern officials, believe in rewards and punishments, and give orders? Summarized Zhang's governance. Some of Zhang's reform measures were inherited and continued during the Qing Dynasty.
The smooth implementation of Zhang's political reform is not only related to the fact that Wanli was old and had to rely heavily on the minister of Fuzheng, but also related to the support of eunuchs.
However, Zhang soon got carried away after becoming a very important official. Not only was he overbearing (especially in Zhang's affairs), but his personal details also became very bad. Zhang began to turn a deaf ear to his harsh words, but he was good at flattery. Even Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese scholar, once gave gifts to Zhang (regardless of what he gave, it was not a good thing anyway).
Shortly after Zhang's death, he was denied by Emperor Wanli, and Zhang's political allies were liquidated. It was not until the Chongzhen period that it was rehabilitated because of the promotion of one party. Harry once commented that Zhang is? Serve your country, but not your body? Perhaps this is the best portrayal of ups and downs.
