"Eighth place! It can't be from the Dragon Country, right?"
"There are ten spots on the rankings. How many spots does the Dragon Country have?”
"None of the three names that Bai Ye mentioned before have appeared yet!”
"When they were on the Emperor List, they occupied seven spots!”
"Are they going to take up eight spots on the Sage Minister List?”
"Peeling Xie! This is absolutely impossible!"
"This one! It definitely can't be from the Dragon Country!"
For heroic spirits like the Dragon Country to be on the rankings, it was as if they were doing wholesale.
The other countries expressed their strong condemnation!
You can't play like this!
The main reason was that Bai Ye's words to the Dragon Country's heroic spirits on the rankings had already left a deep shadow in their hearts.
Those were the three names that he had mentioned before!
He did not appear for a long time!
They were like the Dragon Country's bottom line.
The later it appeared, the higher the ranking!
Therefore, they were all looking forward to getting those three heroic spirits on the rankings as soon as possible!
To get rid of their wishes!
At the same time, they had hopes of having their heroic spirits on the rankings.
He did not want to see the Dragon Country dominate the rankings again!
However, these two completely different requirements…
Even if it was a high-dimensional creature, it could only satisfy one.
Then let's satisfy the first one first!
……
Ranked eighth among humanity's top ten sages!
Officially announced!
Zhang Gong Zhang Juzheng showed his talent when he was young. He passed the imperial examination and entered Lantai.
Shen Yiyuan has a strategy, insight into current affairs and hit the key!
He was scheming and had sharp eyes to ensure that he would not lose!
The strategy of governing the country is wonderful, and a whip is strong!
Even if there are small flaws, they cannot cover up the jade, but the great kindness can bless the Wanli Dynasty!
The opera of Sun An should be stopped in the pear garden, so as to return the face of a loyal minister!
Even if you look at the history of the dynasties since ancient times, the reformists will be sad!
Merits and demerits will be discussed by later generations, and brilliant achievements will be difficult to cover up!
He could read at the age of five and understand the Six Classics at the age of seven!
He passed the scholar examination at the age of 12, participated in the provincial examination at the age of 13, and passed the imperial examination at the age of 16!
At the age of 23, he passed the Jinshi examination!
He was really a great scholar!
He was the prime minister's hero!
He was the savior of the world!
Ten years of assistance, extend the country's life for decades!

Even if you are thousands of miles away, you can go down in the morning and walk in the evening!
He was a genius who walked in the circle of officialdom!
He was another important minister of the country born from a dream!
The heart is not in harmony with the masses, and the external desire is mixed with traces. Take advantage of the opportunity to act!
His famous saying was!
......
"It is only when you are fully responsible that you can succeed. If you do not divide your strength, you will be able to get things done!”
"Creation seems difficult but it is actually easy, the Dao of Gu seems easy but it is actually difficult!”
"When you are in a great state, you will inevitably have the illness of being too harsh. However, it is not enough to stabilize the country!”
"In the world, careful consideration is the most important thing.”
"It's not difficult to make laws in the world, but it's difficult to enforce laws!”
"A gentleman is in reality, not in splendor. Treat it internally, not externally!"
......
A firm voice sounded.
The image of a handsome man in a civil servant's robe appeared before the eyes of the world.
The wind and rain were unstable, and the country was in doubt!
The former monarch was good at playing politics and playing tricks!
The new monarch can only reach ten years old, which is not enough to govern the country!
In the country, the land was annexed, the refugees scattered, and the disaster of the draft was caused!
The country's treasury was empty and its expenditure was scarce!
On the other hand, the northern Tartars invaded the Central Plains, and the southern Japanese pirates frequently harassed them!
Internal and external troubles!
However, he had been prime minister for ten years, but Da Ming had changed completely!
There are several kings of rejuvenation. Who should be the leader?
There are several prime ministers of rejuvenation, and Bai Gui should be the first!
Bai Gui is his childhood name.
Main account!
Ranked eighth among humanity's top ten sages!
Zhang Juzheng!
......
“.......”
"Isn't the Dragon Country going a little overboard?”
"This isn't just excessive, it's simply excessive!”
"The third, second, and first place on the Emperor List are all from the Dragon Country!”
"The tenth, ninth, and eighth places on the Sage Minister List are all from the Dragon Kingdom!”
"Six heroic spirits are on the Heroic Spirit Ranking in a row. Why don't we just let one of their countries participate in this Heroic Spirit Ranking!”
"That would not be so insulting!”
"When there is no wise ruler, there will be wise ministers! Is the Dragon Country so talented?"
"F * ck! With a little wimp as the emperor, not only did the Dragon Country not become worse, but it also became stronger!”
"The Kimchi Kingdom said that they wanted to destroy the ancient Dragon Kingdom? Even if he was a little wimp and became the emperor, he was not someone you could afford to offend!”
"Dragon Country's father is awesome!"
The viewers from the other countries were already numb.
The Dragon Country was simply a hooligan who did not give others a chance!
......
"Wow! Why does it feel like our Sage Board is even more powerful than the Monarch Board?”
"This is a massacre!"
"Is he wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty?”
"First, it was the virtuous officials of the Song Dynasty, then the virtuous officials of the Han Dynasty, and now the virtuous officials of the Ming Dynasty!”
"In our ancient times, there were simply many wise officials!”
"Liu Bang was still showing off to Zhu Yuanzhang just now.”
"Now, I wonder if his ranking is lower than Zhu Yuanzhang's.”
"Even the officials of his dynasty are inferior to those of Zhu Yuanzhang's dynasty.”
"Hahahaha, you must be quite depressed now, right?”
"The old hooligan Liu Bang is very depressed!”
......
Due to the lack of history in the Dragon Country, in order to be more convincing, we will try our best to show Mr. Zhang Juzheng's life in detail.
Then, I will comment on his achievements. Please watch patiently!
......
The Darming Dynasty had experienced more than two hundred years of ups and downs.
By the Jiajing period, it was already full of diseases and dangers.
Every day, an altar was set up in the Forbidden City to hold a ceremony.
Emperor Jiajing, who fantasized about immortality, was intoxicated by the gorgeous words of "Ode to Qingyun" and indulged in digging his feet to cultivate immortality.
He closed his eyes and entrusted the government to Yan Song.
Yan Song and his son took the opportunity to commit crimes and take bribes.
In the court of Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere was foul and outside the red walls, the people were in dire straits.
Fortunately, in the fourth year of Jiajing, in the home of a scholar in Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture, a baby was born.
It was this baby that would give a special medicine to the Great Ming, whose national fortune was already showing signs of decline, in a few decades!
His ancestors had once fought alongside Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he was born, the shadow of his ancestors could no longer protect him.
What greeted him was a white turtle dream of his great-grandfather.
The moon in the dream fell into the water jar, illuminating the surroundings.
Then, a white turtle slowly floated up from the water.
His great-grandfather believed that the white turtle was his great-grandson, so he gave him the nickname "Bai Gui", hoping that he could bring honor to his ancestors in the future.
......
Bai Gui, who had grown up, was indeed very intelligent.
At a very young age, he became a well-known prodigy in the Jingzhou Prefecture.
In the 15th year of Jiajing, Bai Gui, who was 12 years old, applied for the examination.
Li Shiao, the prefect of Jingzhou, loved him very much. He told Little Bai Gui to be ambitious since childhood and to be loyal to the country when he grew up.
He also changed his name to Ju Zheng.
This year, Ju Zheng became a student.
A year later, he participated in the provincial examination and was obstructed by the governor of Huguang, Gu Lin, and failed.
However, Gu Lin did not do it out of selfishness, but he hoped to sharpen him to become a great person.
Three years later, the arrogant Zhang Juzheng successfully passed the provincial examination and became a young juren.
In other words, when Zhang Juzheng was thirteen years old, he already had the talent to become a High Scholar!
It was just that he happened to be protected by a sage, so he was not on the rankings.
It was obvious that Gu Lin appreciated him very much. He even said to others,"This child is a genius!"
He also took off his rhinoceros belt and gave it to Ju Zheng." I hope you can have great ambitions. Be Yi Yin and Yan Yuan. Don't just be a famous juren!"”
Zhang Juzheng clearly remembered these words.
Then, in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng, who was twenty-three years old, was awarded the title of Lucky Scholar.
A scholar of good fortune was a type of trainee. According to the rules, he had to study in the Imperial Academy for three years.
In ancient times, there was a saying,"Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi".
It could be seen how difficult it was to take the Jinshi examination. Twenty-three-year-old Jinshi was even rarer.
Zhang Juzheng could be said to be a genius!
......
"This Zhang Juzheng is different from the previous two?”
"Especially Zongze. Zongze only passed the imperial examination when he was in his thirties, right?”
"Zhang Juzheng is in high spirits!”
"At the same time, what's different from the previous two is that Da Ming is no longer at his peak.”
"But it's definitely not a chaotic world."
"Therefore, Zhang Juzheng is a minister who assisted the country in its recovery, and he also has the support of Jun Youguo.”
"And he's so handsome!"
......
After the term of office of a lucky man has expired, he can be given editing.
Zhang Juzheng was selected as a lucky man, and Xu Jie, an important minister of the cabinet, was among the teachers.
Xu Jie attached great importance to the knowledge of governing the country and helping the world. Under his guidance, Zhang Juzheng worked hard to study the history of the country, laying a solid foundation for him to embark on a bigger stage in the future.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister and set up a cabinet to strengthen the imperial power.
The chief cabinet scholar was called the chief assistant, but in fact, he was the prime minister.
When Zhang Juzheng entered the Imperial Academy to study, there was a fierce struggle in the cabinet.
At that time, there were only Xia Yan and Yan Song in the cabinet.
The two of them fought for the position of chief assistant, and in the end, Xia Yan became the chief assistant. He was then slandered by Yan Song and killed, and Yan Song became the chief assistant of the cabinet.
As for the cabinet struggle, Zhang Juzheng, as a new Jinshi, naturally had no say.
However, after a few years of cold observation, he had an intuitive understanding of the corruption of the imperial court and the neglect of the border defense.
For this reason, in the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng first stated a disease of "blood and qi obstruction" in "On Time Shu."
He then pointed out the five diseases of "bloated and flaccidity" and systematically elaborated his views on reform.
Naturally, these didn't attract the attention of the cultivation enthusiasts and the old emperor's servant, Yan Song.
From then on, in the Jiajing Dynasty, except for routine memorials, Zhang Juzheng did not submit a single memorial.
From this, it could be seen that he was a very calm person.
Moreover, he had extremely strong observation and judgment.
There was no wise ruler in the court, and even if the courtiers had strength, they had nowhere to use it.
Fortunately, he was younger than those two old fellows.
What he had to do now was not to constantly make suggestions or even make radical suggestions.
What Zhang Juzheng wanted to do now was to conceal his strength and bide his time. At the very least, he couldn't anger the emperor and Yan Song.
As a result, he would lose the possibility of obtaining a higher status.
Then, when he became an old official of two dynasties, that would be the moment when he would truly display his ambition!
......
Therefore, in the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng left the capital to his hometown Jiangling under the pretext of taking leave to recuperate.
However, during the three years of vacation, he did not forget about the state affairs and personally interacted with the people at the bottom.
Zhang Juzheng, whose family was poor, experienced the hard work, hunger, cold, and pain of the people in the countryside.
He said in the Jingzhou Prefecture Titles: "Land taxes are uneven, the poor are unemployed, and the people are suffering from annexation.”
All of this made his heart skip a beat, and his sense of responsibility made him return to the capital.
In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng returned to the Imperial Academy to serve.
He imitated his teacher, Xu Jie, who acted according to the situation.
In the forty-third year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng entered the palace on the right side of Chunfang and Yude concurrently served as the Imperial College.
Xu Jie, who was far-sighted, recommended Ju Zheng to be Zhu Zaihou, who was still King Yu at that time.
Although this was only a title, it was very likely that Prince Yu would inherit the throne in the future.
Therefore, it was naturally not an easy job to serve Yu Di.
Zhang Juzheng's career path could be said to be smooth.
This was related to his outstanding resume.
It was also related to his subservience and patience.
It was also related to his teacher, Xu Jie.
It could be said that Zhang Juzheng had been someone else's child since he was young.
He was talented, willing to work hard, and the people he met appreciated him very much.
Including Zhu Zaihou, King of Yu.
Of course, this was also related to his appearance advantage.
......
Then, the old Taoist Emperor who was obsessed with cultivation finally died!
Da Ming could be said to have become a rather messy mess in his hands.
But that was no longer important.
The important thing was that Prince Yu had finally ascended the throne.
Zhang Juzheng's chance had finally arrived!
In the first year of Longqing, as an old minister of Prince Yu, he was appointed as the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Grand Scholar of the Profound Language Pavilion. He officially entered the cabinet and began his journey of assisting the country!
In April of the same year, he was appointed Minister of Rites and Grand Scholar of Wuying Hall.
Zhang Juzheng was already forty-three years old.
At this moment, he probably would not forget the sentence he wrote when he was thirteen years old," Phoenix hair clumps of strong joints, straight to the end of the pole!”
Thirty years later, he had finally reached the end of the line in a secret contest!
......
"Zhang Juzheng's life is so smooth.”
"There's no need to suppress your desires at all!”
"Maybe this is what a genius is."
"However, such a person also has an advantage.”
"That means you won't do what you think.”
"The standard elite course also allows him to effectively execute what he wants to execute.”
"But the downside is that he might not be so hot-blooded.”
"Unlike Old Master Zong, who is already in his sixties and still acts like a hot-blooded young man!”
"Therefore, it can be foreseen that he will be a little unreasonable in the future.”
"This isn't chaotic times. Why do we need so much blood?”
"As long as it's effective!"
"That's true."
......
After entering the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng didn't feel proud of his promotion.
Calm, elite, that was still his background.
However, the Ming Dynasty was clearly not as calm as him.
There were domestic and foreign troubles, nomadic tribes in the north and Japanese pirates in the south.
The people would really be in dire straits.
Zhang Juzheng couldn't relax in the face of this.
What worried Zhang Juzheng even more was the increasingly heated struggle within the cabinet.
After the fall of Yan Song in the 41st year of Jiajing, Xu Jie succeeded as the chief assistant.
He and Zhang Juzheng jointly drafted Sejong's posthumous edict to correct the drawbacks of the Sejong period.
The restoration of the position of an innocent courtier who had been convicted of an unjust case was widely welcomed by the court.
But soon, in July of the second year of Longqing, Xu Jie finally returned to the field because of his old age and illness.
The following year, Xu Jie's old rival, Gao Gong, returned to the cabinet and took charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, controlling the power of the cabinet.
During the period of high arch chief assistant, a group of talents were used, and the official road was slightly clear.
Zhang Juzheng was once Gao Gong's confidant, and later there was a rift.
High arch and power eunuch Feng Bao discord.
In the sixth year of Longqing, Mu Zong died of illness, and Shenzong, who was only in his teens, succeeded him.
High arch because of his mouth touched the queen mother nerve, plus FengBao fan ghost fire.
The Empress Dowager ordered Gao Gong to return to his hometown for the crime of "autocracy".
Thus, Zhang Juzheng became the chief assistant.
From then on, he held the power of the Ming Empire for ten years!
