Criminals in the yellow calendar

When Emperor Wanli was young, his biological mother Li Taihou was very strict with him. For example, after Emperor Wanli listened to the teacher's lecture, Li Taihou immediately tried it again. If Emperor Wanli is not careful in class, Li Taihou will make him kneel for a long time. After Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, Li Taihou always woke him up at 5 o'clock before going to court. After washing, he personally led him out by car.

In the eyes of Emperor Wanli, Li Taihou was a strict mother, so in front of her mother, Emperor Wanli never dared to disobey.

For example, Emperor Wanli doted on Zheng Guifei, so he didn't want his eldest son Zhu Changluo to become a prince. Li Taihou asked why, and Emperor Wanli said. He is the son of Du (a palace maid). ? Li Taihou great anger, said? You are everyone's son, too.

It turns out that Li Taihou was promoted from a maid-in-waiting to a concubine. Hearing this, Emperor Wanli was too scared to make any noise. Only then did he make Zhu Changluo a prince.

It can be seen that even though Emperor Wanli has become the emperor, she still respects her mother in her heart. And Li Taihou in front of Wanli, is also a kind of relief. Why should we emphasize this matter? We will explain later.

It is natural that Li Taihou is so strict with his son for his own good. I hope he can become a moral gentleman. But as a woman, Li Taihou is not good at politics, so she needs a helper to help her son. Finally, designate this helper as Zhang.

Li Taihou admired Zhang very much, and Zhang was willing to help for the Ming Dynasty, and tried his best to help Emperor Wanli. Once, Emperor Wanli drank too much and clamored to kill the chamberlain, but he was persuaded to come down. After knowing it, I asked Zhang Shangshu to advise me the next day. After Zhang's warning, Emperor Wanli knew that he was wrong and cried to assure him that he would not make it again.

When Emperor Wanli got married, it was supposed to mean that the emperor was an adult and could take charge of his own affairs. As the empress dowager, Li will return to Cining Palace. Knowing that he can't get involved in this matter, he specially ordered Zhang:

I can't regard the emperor as a morning and night. My husband is entrusted by my late emperor, and he must teach him every morning and night. My late emperor relies on several friendships. ?

This shows great trust in Zhang Juzheng. But as we all know, after Zhang's death, Emperor Wanli immediately liquidated him. He not only copied Zhang's home, cut his rank, but even almost opened the coffin and whipped the body. Emperor Wanli wanted to liquidate Zhang, and others might not be able to stop him, but why didn't he even say a word?

Here, we will explain why we should emphasize Li Taihou's speech in front of Emperor Wanli. Because of her words, if she comes forward, Wanli will not easily liquidate Zhang. The question is, why didn't Li Taihou come forward? It's actually quite simple.
