In the meantime, he promulgated and implemented a series of reform measures which were known as " new policy in reign of Wanli " by descendants. What should not be overlooked is that in this reform supervisors as spokesmen of monitoring and public opinion in ming dynasty has a close relationship with zhang juzheng's political reform. They have an impact on all aspects of the political reform, on one hand supervisors' active participation in this political reform activities had promoted the smooth implementation of the reform measures, on the other hand supervisors' impeachment and criticism towards zhang juzheng also create an obstacle for reform objectively . Especially , after the death of zhang juzheng, the supervisors' first attack became the fuse of Ming shenzong emperor's liquidation towards zhang juzheng, and eventually promote most of the policy measures' abolition and zhang juzheng's own discredited . If we do not face up to these facts, we could not have an objective look at the problem from multi-angle and grasp the facts.
