Zhang Ning, also known as Jing Zhi, is from Haiyan. Jingtai was admitted to Jinshi in the five-year examination. In the summer of the seventh year of surprisingly, Tang Gaozong listened to the words of others and evaluated the positions of officials at all levels in Nanjing. Zhang Ning said: "Kyoto, especially the fundamental place, cannot be exempted from the assessment of Kyoto officials." He also said: "Wuzhi, who is paid by Kyoto Health Center, has more than 2,000 guards, totaling more than 30,000 people. It costs 2,483,600,000 yuan a year, plus other things that can be converted into wages, which are often millions. Nothing is more serious than the depletion of national reserves. And many of them are old, weak and unfamiliar riding and shooting. It is better to select available people and let them fill the vacancies in the world headquarters and health centers, and the rest will be eliminated. " However, this initiative was blocked and not implemented.

The emperor was ill, and it happened that his handsome star changed, so he wrote a letter, which saved the routine ceremony of meeting with ministers on New Year's Day the following year, so that officials at all levels could still go to court on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Zhang Ning said: "When officials of various countries can't see the true face of the emperor, they will spread rumors to each other when they have doubts to show their surprise. I hope that your majesty will reluctantly comfort people according to the old rules. " The emperor couldn't listen to Zhang Ning's advice because of illness, and a coup took place.

During the Tianshun period, Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng stole state power. When things are related to ceremony, Zhang Ning is lowered, so Yingzong knows Zhang Ning's character. North Korea and Mao, who believed in tribes, became enemies and killed each other. The emperor ordered Zhang Ning to direct Wuzhong to mediate. Zhang Ning's words are generous, and Wuzhong is brave and vigorous. He drew two bows and broke them. He shot the geese again and made them fall to the ground. Surprised and envious, the North Koreans finally resolved their hostility and returned to Beijing. Eunuch Bao Qin asked Zhang Ning to see him, but Zhang Ning didn't go. It soon spread to everything.

Xian Zong just started to attend the banquet, and Zhang Ning asked to give lectures with "Yan Xueyi" every day. In October this year, on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, Yao Kui, the minister of rites, set up a temple to burn incense, and now officials from all ministries go to the altar to burn incense. Zhang Ning said it would do no good, but harm the overall situation, and requested to ban it. The emperor appreciated it and adopted his advice. Soon, Wang Hui was impeached by Li Xian, a college student, because of Niu Yu. During the activity, Zhang Ning led six ethnic groups to make a speech to the people, and gradually came into conflict with the cabinet. Just then, Ms. Wang and others recommended that Zhang Ning had the ability to serve as the Imperial and Qing Army, and was recommended together with Yue Zheng. As a result, the imperial edict was obtained, and most of the collaborative recommendations were individuals, and the recommended people were given positions outside Kyoto. Zhang Ning was appointed as the magistrate of Tingzhou, taking simplicity and tranquility as the policy of governing the country. A year later, all his outstanding achievements were displayed.

Zhang Ning is talented, ambitious, virtuous, good at writing papers and has a good reputation. Yingzong tried to reuse him, but failed. He has been remonstrating with officials for a long time and is not liked by ministers. After serving abroad, he was even more depressed and returned to his hometown because of illness. After living at home for 30 years, the admonition officer recommended him many times, and the emperor finally stopped calling him back to Beijing.

Zhang Ning has no sons, only two concubines. After Zhang Ning died, they cut off their hair to show their loyalty to their master. They lived upstairs for 40 years. The imperial court issued imperial edicts praising them as "double festivals".
