Great Ming: The Poor Scholar's Chief Councilor

Zhang Juzheng once sighed, “Hong’s ability surpasses mine. After I’m gone, he will surely have a seat in the Grand Secretariat.”

The emperor once said to his attendants with a heavy sigh, “Su Hong seems loyal, but he is a great traitor. No one else could wreak havoc on my government as he does. Yet I can’t afford not to use him. This is hard! So hard!”

Su Hong: “At first, I was just a farmer’s son from the countryside. My greatest wish was simply to live a little better... You’ve all made my life miserable!”

“Su Hong understood how to adapt to the times and dared to shoulder responsibility. He possessed the talent to bring peace to the realm and stabilize the nation. His reforms became a model for generations to come. He enjoyed every honor in life and was held in the highest esteem after death, surpassing even Guo Fenyang.”, History of Ming, Biography of Su Hong
