Ming Dynasty: My Teacher Zhang Juzheng

In the fifth year of Longqing's reign, Songjiang's son Jiang Mang went north to take the imperial examination. Mang Shao lost his father and was raised by Jiang Wanghai, a private school teacher. Wanghai was a drunkard and joked a lot, but he was still serious when it came to Zhongsu's official business. The following year, in the 19th year of Mang, he passed the second level of the high school examination and was awarded the Imperial Academy. He is a man of extraordinary talent, sharp in his opinions, and often finds things that others have never thought of. When Zhang Juzheng heard about his talent, he called him and spoke to him. He was so surprised that he accepted him as his disciple and named him "Xing Yan" himself. Staying upright and resolute, he is in a severe emergency and allows the world to complain with his whole body. Those who comment on his merits say that he "saved the prime minister of the time", and those who comment on his faults say that "the authoritative power shakes the master". It is said that his law is strict but less merciful. Although it can alleviate the shortcomings of the moment, it is not enough to be a law for all generations. Mang Shishi looked at him, but he didn't notice the difference at first. After leaving the country, running among the fields and streets, I first saw the suffering of the people, and gradually heard the opinions in the countryside, either "Zhang Jiangling is harsh and violent", or "The New Deal is disturbing the people". Mang couldn't argue silently, but he refused to betray his master. An elder advised him to avoid the sharp edge, and Mang said to him: "A certain person comes from a humble family, and has made insignificant contributions to the country. What I have gained today is all given by my mentor. A scholar dies for a confidant, how much more can he know the kindness of encountering someone?" In the next ten years, as they traveled to various places and entered the center, the master and the apprentice were sometimes close or far apart, but they always protected each other and never failed each other. When he is a senior official, he is slandered all over the world, and his disciples and former officials are trying to avoid him. Mang alone guarded his coffin and was buried in white clothes.
