Zhang Juzheng (all Four Volumes)

About This Novel

Zhang Juzheng is a reformer with extraordinary personality and a legendary figure in the annals of history. After he ascended to the position of chief minister, he managed the government for ten years: rectifying the official administration and refreshing the decadent style; rectifying education and recruiting talents to help the world; reforming taxes and sorting out finances. He saved the ruins of the Zhu Ming Dynasty and made the Wanli period the most prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty. In the midst of the storm, Zhang Juzheng was profound in thought, resolute, resourceful, and decisive, and his power was unparalleled. However, once he was in great power, he acted arbitrarily and relied on flattery, which attracted those who wanted to follow him. The desire for power pushed him to reach the peak of his life, but also caused Xiao Qiang to suffer after his death. At the time of his grand burial and death, he was criticized by others. As a result, all his family property was confiscated and all his titles and titles were taken away. This brought disaster to his eighty-year-old mother and his children and grandchildren. As a politician, Zhang Juzheng was an effective person in Chinese history; but as a person, he was a failure. "Prosperous in life, miserable after death" is the best summary of his life. The great disparity between his reputation and reputation during his lifetime and after his death was not only due to personal reasons, but also due to the dangerous politics and the turbulent world. Moreover, Zhang Juzheng's fate also objectively reveals the historical background of the tragedy and the characters' character flaws, providing an image literary reading for today's readers to reflect on.
