Feng He Jin Qi Zhang Ju Zheng

Zhang Ju Zheng is a legendary figure who has passed through the annals of history due to drastic reforms during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Ju Zheng was the first assistant to the cabinet, ranking under the high arch. When Long Qing was seriously ill, the conflict between the two broke out, and a battle was started for the first assistant position. Long Qing died, and the ten-year-old prince ascended the throne as the Wanli Emperor. Zhang Ju Zheng officially became the first assistant, and then he launched the Wanli reform drastically. Zhang Ju Zheng used the ”Examination Method" to rectify the bureaucratic system, greatly improving the hard-working spirit of officials and the country's organizational strength, and used the Qingzhang policy to ease the people's tax burden. When all the groundwork for the reform was ready, his father died suddenly, but Zhang Ju Zheng decided not to follow the rules of filial piety and continued to stay in the position of first assistant to promote the reform. No one understood his painstaking efforts. Wan Li gradually became rebellious and resentful towards Zhang Ju Zheng. When Zhang Ju Zheng died suddenly, Wan Li liquidated the Zhang family and completely denied his contribution. Fair and comfortable in people's hearts, Zhang Ju Zheng used his own strength to eradicate the country's accumulated malpractices, and was hailed as the “prime minister of Salvation” by future generations.
