Profile

Zhang Cong (1475-1539), a statesman, reformer and thinker in Ming Dynasty. Known as Zhang Ge Lao, his name is Bingyong, and his name is Luofeng. He was given the name of Fujing by Zhu Houfu of Ming Shizong, and his name is MaoGong, and his name is Luoshan. He was born in the third capital of Yongjia (now Pumen village, Longwan District, Wenzhou City). In the early Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Cong reformed the imperial examination system, advocated the combination of three ways, cleaned up the academic politics, straightened out the way of speech, updated the constitutional platform, eliminated the accumulated disadvantages of the Imperial Academy, strengthened the functions of the cabinet, eliminated the redundant officials, removed the garrison officials, removed the hereditary titles of the relatives, and cleared up the Xunqi Zhuangtian. His reform eliminated the accumulated disadvantages of Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent, and stimulated the ruling class of Ming Dynasty It has restrained and reversed the declining trend of national power.

"Zhao Dai Dian Ze" Volume 26: Zhang Cong asked Sha to eliminate the redundant officers and soldiers of Jinyi banner school. There are more than 31800 people in fange banner school, and there are hundreds of thousands of grain reserves in the province; there are more than 40000 redundant officials and soldiers in Ge banner school, and there are 1.68 million stone reserves in the province. Zhang Cong played a role in the reform of the provincial guards and the Qing emperor's relatives Zhuangtian.

"Ming Shi Lu" volume 221: just Ming Jun Jie, dedicated to public service, generous service, do not avoid resentment. When he was in charge of the imperial court, he was not all year old, but the discipline was eliminated for a while. In the cabinet, I have received special knowledge and said everything. Conspiracy Temple argument, both colleagues Zhuchen, mostly not with the news. As for Qi Zhuangtian, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he stopped guarding the internal officials, followed the law and ruled the country. To his insistence on upholding justice, although he was strict with the law, his speech was incisive and unremitting. If you look up his sincerity, you will trust him for a long time. You often call him Yuan Fu Luoshan instead of his name.

The fifth volume of the sequel to Langji: there were two Zhang Wenzhong in the former Ming Dynasty. They were all aimed at power. In fact, they were all virtuous, which is not to blame. According to the theory of heart trace, Yongjia (Zhang Cong) is better than Jiangling (Zhang Juzheng). Yongjia's discussion of great rites is based on the true view, which is not based on the world's experience, nor is it contrary to the expectation. But its rigid, bright, precipitous and unswerving are beyond Jiangling's ability.

Mingshancang (Volume 73): inspiring and reasoning, observing and listening in the sea, grasping the political foundation of the Qing Dynasty, leaving behind dusai, striving for military and literary achievements, and collecting talents. As for the ancient rites, we should avoid everything by taking the second order. When we create them, we should set out the rules. When we go to the constitution, the anecdotes are flourishing, which is praised by duofujing (Zhang Cong).
