In the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Wanli (1597), Li Ke gave Dai a general outline of the world, saying that there are three unknowable things: providence, human heart and luck. There are five things to worry about: Ji Gang's desertion, Emperor Rong's invasion of the mausoleum, fundamental vacillation, poor repair of military equipment, and depletion of the national treasury. One thing is urgent: your heart. Your majesty sits in the deep palace, ignoring the minister and not listening to the official discussion; Beauty is in front of us, but beauty is lazy. Only by diligent observation of the DPRK can we be politically clear-headed and self-taught. This short statement made Zongshen not listen.

In the 25th year of Wanli (1597), North Korea sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty for help. On the fifth day of February, the Ming government called officials to discuss the Korean war situation and analyze the trend of the Japanese army. 1 1 day, discussing aid to Korea again, decided to transfer 7000 troops from Datong, Liaoning and recruit 3700 troops from Zhejiang, and ordered North Korea to set up coastal defense officers. /kloc-on 0/5, the former company commander Iwasui and Tongzhi Magui were appointed as the company commanders of the Japanese army, commanding the north and south armies, and set off for Korea to suppress the Japanese aggressors. On March 15, Levin, the chief secretary of Shandong Province, was promoted to the right adviser of Jingshi, in charge of the Korean military. In order to strengthen the fostering and support for Levin, the head of North Korea's military affairs, he then appointed Xing Jun, assistant minister of the left Ministry of War, as the minister of war and the right deputy capital, and the governors Ji Liao and Bao Ding also took charge of military affairs and managed Japanese affairs. Ten things to play before Levin comes. Among them, North Korean officials and people lost their jobs, and were promoted, knighted, atoned, and relieved of Ding Fu, a village official. He also accused North Korea's monarchs and ministers of hiding money and food, not paying the assistance of the Ming army, and playing their crimes illegally. Therefore, North Korean officials and people often complain about Levin.
Xie Jiezhi warned Zongshen that "ten is not as good as the beginning"
On the eighth day of February in the 25th year of Wanli (1597), Xie Jie, the right assistant minister of Nanjing Criminal Department, admonished the gods that "ten is not as good as the beginning": First, filial piety is not as good as the beginning. I was with the empress dowager every day. Today, I greet you for a long time, but I don't celebrate very much. I don't even send the introduction of Empress Xiao Anzhuang from the palace, but the official will send it for me. Second, respecting ancestors is not as good as starting. I used to like Four Seasons Ancestral Temple. Today, officials are sent to them every time. Third, learning is not as good as starting. I studied literature before and learned about the past and the present. Today, the speakers' seats and officials exist in name only. Fourth, diligence is better than starting. I used to be in charge of state affairs myself, Dai Xing Dai Yue, and I dare not be idle. I live in ouchi today and haven't been out for many years. Five respects to heaven, not as good as the beginning. For love, six years old is worse than one year old. In the past, whenever there were floods and droughts, money and food were given to the Quartet from time to time. Nowadays, credit traitors and mine tax inspectors make the four countries mine and collect taxes, and the world is in chaos. Seventh, saving money is not as good as the beginning. In the past, the expenditure in the palace was moderate and the storage in the outhouse was full. At present, porcelain in Jiangxi, rice in Jiangnan, fans in two provinces and cashmere in Guanzhong are often flooded. Eight characters are not as good as a curl. There were many suggestions in the past. If the stamp is punched today, it will not be sent, not a word. Kissing is better than starting. In the past, many people discussed the grain of the imperial clan, but now they pay more attention to the palace. Ten is not as good as one. In the past, the lack of officials pushed and supplemented, but now the big officials pushed and did not use them, and the ordinary officials lacked and did not make up. When playing Shu, it is also called "Ten Rules". The gods turned a blind eye to this.
Lv Kun's words are very popular.
On the first day of April in the 25th year of Wanli (1597), Zuo Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said: Shaanxi cashmere was originally sold to Wang for a living. Since the imperial court ordered the creation, people have been forced to abandon mulberry farmers to twist yarn, and millions of people have jacquard dyed it day and night. As for Shanxi? More and more loose yarn and loose yarn are delivered every year. It is better to have a routine than to accumulate useless things. In this way, the palace can be exempted from the burden of collection, the world is worry-free, and the heart of Jiangnan in Shaanxi can be obtained. As far as timber mining is concerned, a large number of trees around Zhangba are needed. Every time a tree is cut down, it often hurts hundreds of people to find it from the mountain and carry it on the road. If we can reduce its scale and quantity, Sichuan, Guizhou and Huguang will become popular. Today, mining tax is unprofitable, and people are also required to pay silver. If the people are poor and can't afford it, then the state treasury silver will be included in the solution, and the court will get a gold, and local counties will spend thousands of dollars. Please order that lending is strictly prohibited in order to win the hearts of all provinces. Please leave the Imperial Store to win the hearts of the Kyrgyz people. The monarch Lu Kunzhong pleaded for the people, and what he said hit the nail on the head, but Zongshen ignored it.

I know god didn't stop complaining. It's about construction, logging, tax collection, quarrying and tile transportation. Hundreds of miles from Wan Li. Wang Gao's blood is not enough to repay, and his bones and muscles are not enough to work. I sold my wife and couldn't afford the loan. This is a combination of drought and poverty. There is no grass in the wild and people are angry. It seems to be hatred, which makes the Three Temples fire happen again. Please think for yourself, is it possible to "think about Tao" all day long? Not thinking about "Tao" is right and wrong. For many years, your majesty refused to worship heaven and enjoy the heavenly palace, but went to court to discuss it, abandoned his thighs and arms, refused to be remonstrated, and took it everywhere, not afraid of fate. The distance between monarch and minister, such as Wan Li. Today's disaster is for retribution. It is said that if there is accumulation, there will be disaster. I ask you to risk your life to tell me where the product is: the crown wedding of the eldest son of the emperor, which won't last long, is the product code; Big and small courtiers, playing official business, mostly ignore it, this is a product; Local governments, with officials and no one, are in short supply; It is useless to be dismissed by ministers, but this is a product; There are enemies outside and "thieves" inside, all accumulated bandits; It is not surprising that ministers who guard the border and govern the river do not pay attention to empty words. This is a scam. All kinds of goods, your majesty can't judge, and cabinet records Zhao dare not refute, which is bound to cause widespread indignation and discontent! Religion is sparse, and it is not reported in the middle.
Zhou Pan invited Zongshen to take responsibility and reflect.
On the 29th of July in the 25th year of Wanli (1597), according to the History of Zhili University, Zhou Pan suggested: Your Majesty should take the blame and reflect, not talk empty talk, but be pragmatic: visit the suburban temple to repay the ancestors of heaven and earth. It is necessary to talk to the DPRK and communicate the feelings of internal and external distance. As the eldest son of the emperor of the East Palace, I relieved the doubts of the ministers. Withdraw the ambassador to the mine to eliminate hidden dangers. Use the deposed minister to release the prisoners. Push to fill the vacancy. Send the national treasury bank to help public expenditure. Stop shopping and be trapped by Su Min. Strict restraint of attendants can lead a good life. Reduce knitting to show economy. God receives sparse, but does not report in the middle.
