Iapos;m really not d

Last June, the late Emperor Longqing ascended to heaven while on a journey. He left behind three assistant ministers: Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and Gao Yi. At this time, Gao Yi had already passed away, and Gao Gong was expelled from the cabinet. The three assistant ministers were reduced to two, leaving only Zhang Juzheng alone.,His situation was extremely difficult. Empress Dowager Li imposed very strict restrictions on him. If he slept in even slightly later or woke up late, he would be reprimanded. If his behavior was even slightly improper, Empress Dowager Li would have Zhang Zhi to speak out and admonish him, forcing the young emperor to write a self-incrimination imperial edict and kneel before the spirit tablet of the previous emperor, reciting it numerous times before she would allow him to stop.,The former emperor died young, leaving behind an orphaned son and a widowed mother. Gao Gong, within the cabinet, stated that a ten-year-old prince could not rule the country, suggesting that he should install a vassal king. The princes of Zhongshan gathered their forces, each vying for power, attacking and killing each other relentlessly. Now, this child is under the watchful eye of his mother, the empress dowager, yet he has been assassinated!。
