# Talk:Zhang Juzheng

The DYK hook ('he eliminated around fifty opponents through self-evaluation tests') provokes some puzzlement, which is not resolved by the article either, since it doesn't feature much more detail than the hook itself. The hook is based on the sentence: 'In an effort to suppress the opposition, Zhang enforced an extraordinary self-evaluation of all high-ranking officials, which allowed him to eliminate around fifty opponents.' What remains unclear is: if it was a self-evaluation, i.e. if the officials were the ones charged with the task of their own evaluations, how could this possibly lead to their elimination? Obviously it was against their self-interest to reach negative conclusions about themselves. 62.73.72.101 (talk) 19:50, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
