Legend of Ming Dynasty

After more than two hundred years of ups and downs in the Ming Dynasty, by the Jiajing period it was riddled with diseases and crises. In the Forbidden City, altars are set up every day to perform rituals, and green smoke fills the air. Emperor Jiajing, who fantasized about immortality, was intoxicated by the gorgeous words of "Ode to Qingyun" and entrusted the government affairs to the treacherous prime minister Yan Song with his eyes closed. Yan Song and his son took the opportunity to do evil, taking bribes and perverting the law. In this context, Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet who was born as a civilian, was pushed to the forefront of history. With his extraordinary courage and wisdom, he organized the government, consolidated national defense, and implemented a whip method, which restored vitality to the dying Ming Dynasty.
