Chapter 385 People Carrying a Sedan Chair
Although these reforms may not necessarily be used, they should still be recorded.
And these are all beneficial and can always help them.

"Young man Zhang Juzheng, your reform is really good," Wang Anshi's eyes lit up. This also gave him a lot of inspiration.
He thought that his own reforms would have to be corrected a bit. This time, he had to be careful, read more and learn more. He must not fail again!
Wang Anshi's reform will definitely succeed this time and will definitely change the Song Dynasty.
So the three of them started discussing the reform again. Li Wu was eating while listening to them.
All three of them are relatively introverted people, but now they have countless topics to talk about because they have many of the same interests.
Many people in front of the skylight also recorded their useful conversations, but of course not all of them, only what was useful to them.
After talking for quite a while, the three of them stopped talking, still feeling unsatisfied, looking as if they had met each other too late.
Fortunately, there is the little fairy, otherwise they would never have met him.
"Are you bored, little immortal?" Shang Yang asked. He knew that the little immortal didn't like to hear these things, but he couldn't control himself once they started chatting.
It's rare to meet a mentor, so how can we not have a few words with him?
Li Wu shook his head and said, "No, I'm not bored. Although I don't understand what they are saying, I feel very moved when I see several seniors sitting together." They were separated by hundreds of years, but now they can sit down together and communicate. How can they not be moved?
"I have to thank the little immortal for all this, for allowing me to meet the two seniors," Zhang Juzheng said, in a relatively relaxed state. He felt that with the little immortal, he did not need to be pretentious all the time, disguise himself, or wear a mask.
I am not afraid of being harmed by others and I live my life cautiously, fearing that I might die if I am not careful.
The same goes for Shang Yang and Wang Anshi. They feel more at ease with the little immortal.
During their own dynasty, they had many enemies, and even more people who wanted them dead, but with the little immortal, they didn't have to worry about that at all.
"This is what I should do. Senior Zhang Juzheng, you haven't finished talking about your deeds yet, so I will continue.
In the tenth year of the Wanli reign, which was 1582, Mr. Zhang Juzheng died of illness due to overwork at the age of .
Song Shenzong stopped court for him, bestowed upon him the title of Shang Zhuguo, and posthumously named him "Wen Zhong".
However, on the fourth day after the death of Mr. Zhang Juzheng, Pan Sheng was impeached and stepped down.
Pan Sheng was recommended by you, Senior Zhang Juzheng, and his resignation is enough to show Song Shenzong's attitude.
Now, the censors pointed their spearheads at you, Senior Zhang Juzheng. Song Shenzong had long been dissatisfied with your oppression over the years, and these people instigated him.
So they ordered that your property, Zhang Juzheng, be confiscated, your official position be removed, and the imperial seals and four generations of imperial edicts that you had granted during your lifetime be taken away, in order to bring an offence upon the whole world.
Even you were almost exhumed and flogged.
Mr. Zhang Juzheng, your family members were starved to death and exiled. Later, under pressure from public opinion, Emperor Wanli did not carry out further persecution.
All the officials you employed during your lifetime, Mr. Zhang Juzheng, were demoted from their posts, and some were even executed.
It was not until Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne that you, Zhang Juzheng, were reinstated.
Naturally, all your reforms were abolished. Alas, they did not understand that your reforms were for the good of the Ming Dynasty. They only knew that they infringed on their interests.
Mr. Zhang Juzheng, your reforms have brought significant positive impacts to the Ming Dynasty.
Not only did he improve the country's administrative efficiency and fiscal revenue, he also promoted the unification and development of the multi-ethnic country. He is considered to be a great contributor to extending the life of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.
He is also a great contributor who has been misunderstood for many years. Many people say that Mr. Zhang Juzheng, you manipulated the government, undermined the imperial power, and monopolized the world. If not, how could the reform be implemented?
You are certainly wrong, but you did all this for the Ming Dynasty, they just don't understand you," Li Wu sighed. Senior Zhang Juzheng was not a good person, but he was not a bad person either. He was a very complicated person.
He doesn't care about his reputation or what others say, he just wants to do what he wants to do.
After listening to the speech, everyone in front of the sky curtain had different feelings. Many people scolded Zhang Juzheng, saying that he disregarded imperial power and was no different from that thief Cao.
Cao Cao: ? ? ?
Some people also think that if such a person who is capable of turning the tide appeared in their dynasty, let alone undermining the imperial power, they could even make him the regent!
During the reign of Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty: "Zhang Juzheng is so bold," Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little angry. He felt that Zhang Juzheng did not take the royal family seriously.
But he saved his Ming Dynasty and extended its life. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was also very conflicted towards Zhang Juzheng.
If Zhang Juzheng were in his time, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty would definitely drag him down and chop him into pieces.
But his Ming Dynasty still needs Zhang Juzheng. His descendants are so disappointing.
I want to get angry, but I don’t know who to vent to.
With the comfort of Empress Ma and Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, finally sighed.

“Senior Zhang Juzheng, I have stopped talking about your deeds here. Of course, it is not over yet,” Li Wu smiled with curved eyebrows. Zhang Juzheng had a bad feeling. Was the little immortal going to say something weird again?
Wang Anshi and Shang Yang also looked at Zhang Juzheng with gossipy eyes, wondering what the little immortal would reveal about Zhang Juzheng's descendants.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's just an ordinary little question, but you may not know it now, Senior Zhang Juzheng.
You are most famous for your sedan, your means of transportation," Li Wu smiled, it is simply an ancient version of a saloon car!
"Sedan?" Zhang Juzheng himself was also confused. What was so strange about this?
The people in front of the sky curtain didn't understand what was so strange about the sedan chair. It was just a means of transportation. Of course, not everyone could sit in a sedan chair. There were also regulations.
"That's right. Your sedan chair is carried by 32 people. It can't even be called a sedan chair. It's a motorhome with a bedroom, a living room, several rooms, and even a corridor for viewing the scenery.
Senior Zhang Juzheng, you really know how to enjoy yourself," Li Wu smiled and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Mr. Zhang Juzheng was rich and powerful, so why couldn’t he enjoy himself?
Wang Anshi and Shang Yang looked at Zhang Juzheng and swallowed their saliva. This man was really powerful. His sedan chair was carried by 32 people. Even their emperors didn't have such a sedan chair.
The people in front of the sky curtain were dumbfounded again. No, this was really putting the emperor in the spotlight. The emperor's sedan chair was carried by only sixteen people, but Zhang Juzheng had thirty-two people carrying it. How could he not be criticized?
This immediately aroused Zhu Baba's anger, and he cursed Zhang Juzheng. The others pretended not to hear. They could curse as much as they wanted, but since they were not in the same dynasty, there was nothing they could do.
Many frugal emperors also thought that Zhang Juzheng was too extravagant, but his abilities were obvious to all.

"This sedan chair is nice. I'll get one in the future," Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.
