Zhang tried to be the teacher of Emperor Wanli. Why did Wanli "bite the hand that feeds him"?
At that time, when the Prophet Wanli ascended the throne, the mother of Emperor Wanli was named the Empress Dowager by Zhang. China paid attention to etiquette in ancient times. Although Li Taihou was the biological mother of Emperor Wanli, she was not the Empress Zhu Zaihou of the Ming Dynasty after all, so if there were no ministers to seal her position as the Empress Dowager, she would not be a justified Empress Dowager. Therefore, I trust and appreciate Zhang. Later, Zhang became Wanli's teacher and taught Wanli wholeheartedly. At this time, I trust Zhang more.
Zhang carried out a series of reforms during his administration, which touched the interests of many nobles at that time and punished them, so there were rumors of his adultery. Emperor Wanli heard such rumors in the deep palace and began to hate Zhang.
Later, Wanli grew up. At this time, he began to have a desire for imperial power, but Reng Zhang often posed as a teacher, and some looked down on Emperor Wanli. This made Emperor Wanli hate Zhang even more. Later, Emperor Wanli became older and older, but Zhang was still arbitrary and above the court, which made Emperor Wanli have the idea of getting rid of Zhang. However, Zhang died soon, but Emperor Wanli was not convinced. He not only copied Zhang's home, but also whipped his body. In this way, Zhang became a sinner in the heart of Emperor Wanli.
