Zhang Juzheng (all 4 Volumes) (winner of Mao Dun Literature Award)
About This Novel
The Legend of China's No. 1 Wonder of the Ages unanimously won the 6th Mao Dun Literature Award, the first Yao Xueyin Historical Novel Award, and the Central Propaganda Department's Five One Project Award. It is hailed as a milestone in novels in the new era of China! It has been adapted into a TV series "Zhang Juzheng, the Chief Assistant of Wanli", starring Tang Guoqiang, Mei Ting, Feng Yuanzheng, Zhi Yitong, Wu Gang and other veteran actors. 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.

Understanding the world
The Qing Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty, and the ups and downs of Zhang Juzheng, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty who had a clear understanding of the world, are a must-see.
It's all made up
What else can I say about negative reviews? I don't understand how it was issued, it's a waste of paper. It's better to use these papers to print romance novels, at least some people will read them, and some people will be tortured.
The chest can contain thousands of mountains and rivers, and the vision can encompass all the world. Zhang Juzheng
You cannot read Lu Xun and this kind of novels about characters from the feudal era at the same time. All you can see is the backwardness and helplessness of the imperial system in the feudal era.
The world is changing, the world is in a state of flux
To do something knowing clearly that something cannot be done is called a true husband; to foresee a bad outcome but to act bravely is called loyalty! Alas!
I have heard about the best students, the best teachers and the best mothers. As a result, the good students released all the pressure and became the most failed education. The little emperor, Zhang Juzheng, and the Queen Mother
The most failed education,
Famous figures throughout the ages, also look at the leader of Wanli, Zhang Fu
In the early morning of February 12, the sixth year of Longqing's reign, the city of Beijing was still filled with chills in the cold spring. In the second half of the night, spring thunder rang out several times, and then there was a cold rain all over the sky. The weather became even colder. It was so cold that dogs shrank their necks and horses snorted. The watchman Zaoli, who was on watch at night, cleared his nose and clawed his way back to life. But it is said that after the drums were beaten in various city towers, the desolate and quiet capital suddenly became noisy, with the sound of shouts, the sound of sedan chairs, the sound of horse hooves, and the sound of singing. On the streets leading to the imperial city, official sedan chairs of various sizes were hurriedly carried one after another. Old Beijingers who are reluctant to leave the hot kang even after holding back their urine know that this is a day of regular court - otherwise, these married couples and ministers, who usually live in fine clothes and fine food, are determined not to suffer such hardships.
