At this time, Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao, and Empress Dowager Li had formed an unbreakable political alliance, controlling all government affairs.,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.,These ministers, deeply favored by the state, do not consider how to repay their lord with utmost loyalty. They only know how to fawn over powerful officials and despise their ruler. Now, they even offer him a knife!。
