Off, I read this book for almost a month. But the mood with liang of himself, and filled with emotion.
Author of the book Xiong Zhaozheng because this book also won the sixth of Mao Dun, we can see the status of the book.
Book content
The book is divided into four, as is the download kindle version of stapled, so four are put together, it seems quite laborious. Four are:
Song of Mulan
Focuses, high arch served as Grand Secretary Longqing years, also between enemy and friend Jang and Gao Gong. From the initial Jiangxi banditry, to the last child molestation events are reflected in the calm and resolute Jang's.
Shuilong
This covers some difficulties when the Grand Secretary Jang, encountered - pepper hematoxylin-fold pension event. This book mainly on the pension issue around pepper hematoxylin-fold, and Gao Gong remnants expand "contest."
Burial song
This focuses on a series of reform measures Jang: grain field of taxation, a whip, cotton event, Mourning storm, etc.
flaming Phenix
The last one is about the Wanli decade, peace and prosperity. Emperor anxiety and regulated by Jang, after it died, made a series of moves. Including: Clear Jang cronies, copy Jang's house and so on.
About specializes rule, neglect of self-defense
Jang advocated a series of reform measures, such as: grain field of taxation, measurement of land, the Beijing police, a whip, the test became law, etc., but also to treat affairs of state hands. But the neglect of self-defense, to offend too many people. So we jumped on the bandwagon after the death of the last of the house was ransacked, fame is won.
Beijing where some corrupt police officers or not as clear, the capable on.
A whip, saying all kinds of taxes, lord can use the money instead.
Test into law is the official record and done, and the establishment of official position in the palace, which place the vacancy, at a glance.
Measurement of land re-measurement of land, for the general public is a good thing, it is a nightmare for the gentry.
Grain field of taxation is designed specifically for royal reward, so that they pay taxes.
This will inevitably offend a lot of officials, and we dare not say bitter.
Unfortunately, Jang at a later stage, perhaps because hands too long, he became a Cabinet person in power, the other everyone is dependent on him, do not listen to oust all, finally a little taste of his gang friends.
In the end, because the tired day and night, had hemorrhoids result fell ill.
Since the lifetime of many ministers, there are very stringent management emperor, the emperor of his love-hate relationship that, after his death did everything, appointment of wise men who can afford, have been replaced.
Wanli New Deal and it was ended.
About poignant love - liang
Liang is this book's most interesting line, beginning when Gaogong authoritarian, liang is dedicated to local tyrant Shaotai Xia Gao Gong, Gao Gong unfortunately relatively old-fashioned man, not like liang. Finally, high arch was retired back home, liang want to commit suicide, cried blind eyes, and finally reduced to become a prostitute, but fortunately was rescued Jang's men placed incense burner in the plot.
Jang met in the first, fell in love with her, so two people gradually become Shenxianjuanlv. Later, Jang took the opportunity to eradicate Shaoda Xia, one is eating liang vinegar, on the other hand also to prevent high arch comeback. But Shaoda Xia Yu Niang savior is, therefore liang angrily away from home, the last Jang is the anniversary of the first anniversary of the raid, liang rushed to the grave, drank the poisoned wine.
About the political landscape of the Ming Dynasty
The early Ming Dynasty, because the prime minister Huwei Yong plotting rebellion, the emperor will cancel the post of prime minister, the establishment of the Cabinet.
So the emperor, eunuchs Sili Jian composition, composed of cabinet ministers thus forming a triangle, triangle why, because the three parts contain each other.
For example, memorials turned over by the Minister, first proposed after the Cabinet vote, given some treatment suggestions, and then sent to the Sili Jian. If the emperor is no time to deal with it by the Sili Jian Bing pen eunuch of Phi Hung as a proxy processing.
In this way, we can see the political landscape of the entire court there are three peak figure - the emperor, eunuchs Sili Jian paw print, Cabinet Minister.
Wanli Wanli New Deal, because Sili Jian paw print eunuch Feng Bow and Grand Secretary Jang relationship very well, so any reform measures to be Jang's execution.
And also because when the Wanli reign, only 10 years old, does not have the independent capability in power, the ruling by the agency as well as the Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bow Jang. In order to make, Jang opportunity to flex its muscles.
About Qi and Wang Guoguang
Jang appointment of a few people, that is the main right-hand man Wang Guoguang civilian, military attache Qi Jiguang.
Wang Guoguang is Jang same year, then-ministers, and finally any board of civil chancery. Ministry of Personnel is the first of six, which is the power of the Minister of the greatest of all officials of the government, of course, in addition to the Cabinet. So this official position is also called the day official.
The Chief General Qi Jiguang is Jizhou, handle the capital.
Chief General Qi Jiguang Jizhou north because, Liaodong Defending commander was able to defend the capital, after Mongolia Kindu not dare attack.
Unfortunately, the late Wanli unpopular because Jang has done, he has done away from overturning, who will replace him with, so Wang Guoguang was retired home, Qi Jiguang were traded to Guangdong to fight pirates.
