1、 The bureaucratic politics of the empire has reached its peak, with thousands and tens of thousands of bureaucrats maintaining balance in all aspects under the guise of upholding the constitution, concealing their private interests that cannot be disclosed.
2、 Zhang Juzheng's public announcement of restructuring the military system is equivalent to inviting others to attack him. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng had to resort to the circuitous approach of having his confidants submit letters according to his own wishes.
3、 Mainly, as a disciple, the little emperor stood on his side. Regardless of whether others had seen through the truth or not, as long as there was no reason to violate the constitution, public criticism and private rumors were not a problem.
4、 Zhang Juzheng had great trust in Qi Jiguang and attempted to give him the overall power to coordinate the military region, which was the economic core of the Ming Dynasty. However, due to opposition from many civil servants on the grounds of the constitution, this could not be achieved.
5、 Zhang Juzheng used a flexible method to transfer other senior generals within the jurisdiction of Jizhou to other towns, in order to avoid any obstacles for Qi Jiguang. Later, all civil officials who intentionally made things difficult for Qi Jiguang were quietly transferred by Zhang Juzheng.
