During the Wanli period, was the rampant rhetoric of officials a sign of Wanli's indulgence?

In ancient times, supervisors and admonishers were both called Taijian, and they were also commonly known as Yanguan.

The spokespersons of the Ming Dynasty were mainly composed of the censors of the Duchayuan and the six subjects. Most of them were of low or even low rank, but their political status was extremely prominent.

Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty institutionally gave the speaking officials broad and important powers. Among them, the ones that people are particularly concerned about are admonishing the emperor, influencing the opinions, impeaching and inspecting hundreds of departments and officials, and inspecting and supervising the governance of local officials.

wait.

All yamen at all levels from the central to the local level, from the emperor to the officials, from national affairs to social life, are all within the scope of supervision and speech by the Yanguan.

Therefore, the spokespersons of the Ming Dynasty had unique identities and special powers, and formed a deterrent force in the entire society in the form of a group.

The above has made the connotation of Yanguan and the authority of the Ming Dynasty quite clear!

I would also like to add that this is the tradition shared by officials and intellectuals throughout the ages: "Sit quietly and talk about your character in peacetime, and report death to the king in times of danger."

No matter which emperor he is, it doesn't matter what the Holy Lord is. Even if Haiyanhe is clear, there will always be officials who come out to clamor. The goal is to stop at the best. Of course, there are officials who win the reputation and leave their names in future generations. How about Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and Ma Zhouzhi?

Liu is not just admonishing three times a day ~ Emperor Jiajing cannot be said to be indulgent. He governed the country with his chief assistant and did not favor his relatives, and maintained the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty. To say that he was indulgent was just pampering his ministers and not cultivating civilized and military preparations. So my point of view is

This is due to Yan Guan's political status.

I don’t know if I explained it clearly, haha.

Please deal with it yourself.
