Don't say that there is no warmth in the sky, and the whole city is surrounded by wind and snow.
In the tenth year of Wanli, it snowed heavily in the twelfth lunar month.
On the Thousand Steps Street of the Forbidden City, Zhang Juzheng was dressed in old clothes and walking alone in the snow.
He worked hard for half his life to mend the sky, and passed the examination to become an official, to serve the people with a whip, to clear the land and secure the land, and to strengthen defenses on all sides.
He used his broken body to hold back the Ming Dynasty, which had been in decline for hundreds of years, filled the national treasury, suppressed officials, and controlled the frontiers.
But in the end——
High achievement shocks the master, and the monarch and his ministers are alienated.
The new law breeds jealousy and the nobles hold grudges.
Loyalty and diligence throughout his life were rewarded with slander from the entire court, confiscation of his home after his death, and displacement of his heirs.
When the wind and snow were dying, he read it all with cold eyes: people died and the government ceased, the new government was abolished, the mountains and rivers began to sink again, and the Ming Dynasty stepped towards the abyss of destruction.
Heaven is merciful, and time will come back again and again.
A night of shocking dreams, returning to the early years of Longqing.
Entering the game again, the mountains and rivers are still in decay, the government and the opposition are still stubborn, and the imperial power is still cold.
He has not changed his original intention of renovating the world, he still wants to clear his land, still want to implement new laws, and still want to save the world.
But in this life, he no longer exposes his weakness with all sincerity, and no longer accepts all the malice in the world alone.
Cleverly avoid love and death situations, check and balance the emperor's jealousy, divide the noble and conservative party, and maneuver in the court with fierce talk.
We can keep the new law for thousands of years, and we can protect the whole family.
Don't ask for a good reputation in history, don't ask for unparalleled power and position.
Just wish:
The new law will not die with people, the prosperous times will not fall with the snow, the Ming Dynasty will not be overthrown, and the people will not be displaced.
Reader comments
Under the moon, the monarch and his ministers are alone, carrying all the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty alone
In the middle of the night, frost and snow covered the palace steps. There were many jealousies among the monarchs and ministers in the world, but Zhang Juzheng was the only one guarding the country thousands of miles away.
In his previous life, he exhausted all his efforts and ended up with a posthumous reckoning and the suspicion of the emperor; once he returned to the age of thirty-two, with the power of the cabinet in hand, he no longer insisted on giving in one direction.
Do not write mindless power struggles, focus on the pull between the monarch and his ministers, the reform of people's livelihood, the ups and downs of the court, and write about the loneliness and helplessness of being in a high position.
Book lovers who prefer thick history and realistic long-term stories of power and strategy are welcome to collect and read.
