Reborn as the Wanli Emperor: Constitutional Monarchy

In Praise of Zhang Juzheng

Storms gather in the early Wanli years,

A pillar from Jiangling stands firm in the current.

His stringent performance reforms purge idle officials,

His new single-whip tax eases the people's burdens.

He builds walls in the north to deter the Tatars,

And clears waterways in the east to nourish the fields.

For ten years, the chief minister steadies a crumbling realm,

A statesman worthy of everlasting fame.
