Civilian minister of the Ming Dynasty, the first assistant of the cabinet, has great historical achievements because he assisted the emperor's governance effectively.

After more than 200 years of ups and downs, the Ming Dynasty was full of diseases and dangers during the Jiajing Period. Altars are set up daily in the Forbidden City, filled with green smoke. The Jiajing Emperor, who dreamed of immortality, was intoxicated by the gorgeous words of "Ode to Qingyun" and entrusted the government affairs to the traitor Yan Song with his eyes closed. Yan Song and his son took the opportunity to commit evil and bend the law for bribes. Against this background of the times, Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant (prime minister) of the cabinet who was born as a civilian, was pushed to the forefront of history. With his extraordinary courage and wisdom, he straightened the court program, consolidated national defense, and implemented a whip method to restore the dying Ming Dynasty to full of vitality.
