Research On Fei Hong Second Time To Be The Cabinet

In October of 1521 which is also named Zhengde sixteen years.An imperial rescript was issued to appoint Fei Hong to be the cabinet,and this is his second time to be the cabinet.Different from his radical style when he was firstly appointed to be the cabinet,Fei Hong decided to compromise and maintain the Jiajing cabinet indirectly by trying to show some modesty and adopting the attitude without forced admonishment and attachment.A fter Fei Hong being the chief of the Cabinet,he tried to stabilize the po litical situation by reconciling the relationship between Shizong and Yang Tinghe whom is the representative of“old school”.When the reform momentum tend to the group of Zhang Cong,to maintain the normal development of government and original order of officials,Fei Hong shelter the convicted minister,meanwhile,he inhibit the development of newly reformers such as Zhang Cong, Gui E and so on. However,Fei Hong's conservative way is far from political philosophy of Shi Zong,whose idea is that eliminating the opposition in the royal court,updating the system of civil servants, using and relying on the minister with same idea to realize his political targets.At that time,as the old minister come from Zheng De epoch,Fei Hong is intimately involved in the conservative group,and himself was deeply affected by Neo-Confucianism. Thus,his conservatism caused resentment and hatred from Shi Zong and innovationist.The struggle between Fei Hong and reformers is the fight between conservatives and innovationist once again a fter“rules debate”,finally,it end with the victory of innovationist and retire of Fei Hong.Some achievements have made in the period of Fei Hong as the chief of Jiajing cabinet,and these achievements lay the foundation for the Jiajing innovation,at the sa me time,the struggle with innovationist damages the situation and general mood of the royal court.It can be drawn that: cabinet formed by Fei Hong stabilized the royal court at the beginning of Jiajing epoch,but it cannot achieve the reform target together for its conservative features inherited from cabinet formed by Yang Tinghe,it is only a transitional cabinet from conservative cabinet formed Yang Tinghe to the innovation cabinet formed by zhang Cong.
