1、 The death of Zhang Juzheng showed Wanli a different teacher than usual, which was somewhat unexpected for him. Zhang, who had always stood on the moral high ground, was inconsistent in his words and actions in private.
2、 Mr. Zhang has a rich personal life and lives a luxurious life. The key is that he also has many antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as many stunning beauties at home. These are all things that this emperor has longed for but has not realized.
3、 Deep down in Wanli's heart, an inexplicable anger always surged. As the "ruler of the Ninety Five", he was confined to the palace, unable to build a new house for his mother, nor could he have his own writing hobbies. He even had no money to reward palace maids, while his "good teacher" lived such a carefree and happy life.
4、 Although these are recorded and edited in official history, I believe not all of them are fabricated. It is normal to use these to manipulate people politically, but there should be a moderation.
5、 At the very least, Qi Jiguang, who had made numerous military achievements, should not be abandoned by his wife in old age and suffer from tragic illness and death. Zhang Juzheng, as a Ming dynasty successor, had an even more tragic fate, and Wanli should at least ensure that his wife and children were not affected by the disaster.
