Zhang Shoufu's repression
When Wanli was a child, he was always disciplined by his teacher Zhang, who adopted a very formal Confucian education method. It is in this way that the emperor endured and restrained his desires from childhood to adolescence. When Wanli was a child, Taiyue gave him a very strict education, although he did not regard him as the future emperor. If he goes out of line, the emperor's teacher will punish him with a serious expression. After the teacher's punishment is over, it may not be enough, and she will be reprimanded by her mother. Therefore, in his childhood and youth, he always suppressed his desires. Even if he had a good time and played with eunuchs, he would be told by his teacher and mother. But if he hangs out with ladies-in-waiting, he will be accused by his teacher and mother. Just like this, the emperor lived in a kind of oppression and constraint from teachers and mothers for a long time.
However, Wanli's patience is all fake, and his heart wants to let go of himself. But because they were afraid of their teachers and their mothers since childhood, they didn't show their lascivious side for a long time when they were alive. It was not until the teacher died and her mother was indifferent that Wanli flew like a wild horse without reins.
Therefore, I would think that the lewdness in the late Wanli period was caused by the long-term repression and suppression of teachers and mothers. It is this repression that will make them unable to control the emperor any more, and will make his desire constantly fight back and rise.
This is actually a psychological thing, but it is also recorded in our statement, that is? Extremes must be reversed? If Zhang was educating the little emperor, was he used to it? Is it suitable? Principle, may not lead to wanli will release nature more and more after death, and become more and more out of control.
How slutty is Wan Li?
According to historical records, the emperor is quite lewd. He bought many beautiful women and concubines for the harem according to his own insistence when he already had a wife. Every one of these concubines and nobles is a first-class beauty, and every one is a beauty that many people can't laugh at from a distance. There are even rumors that the emperor married nine wives a day at the worst and slept with these nine different wives once a day. This can no longer be described as energetic, but as lecherous addiction.
We can find the answer to the emperor's indulgence from his later physical weakness. It is said that in the later days, the emperor gradually weakened because he married more beautiful women and lucky women, so the emperor's physical weakness is evidence of his constant indulgence and lewdness.
To sum up, Wanli is undoubtedly a lecherous, but you should know that it is normal for men to pursue beauty. As the king of a country, the emperor has more power and can naturally maximize his own desires. Because the emperor's desire was constantly suppressed by teachers and mothers in his early years, there will be a big outbreak of desire later, which is also the reason for his lust. First of all,
