Zhang Juzheng looked up at Ji Dong, with disbelief and excitement in his eyes.

It has been 15 years, including the last time we met, it has been 35 years, but Lin Yi is still the same as when we met back then.

Time didn't seem to have left any traces on Ji Dong's body. Zhang Juzheng looked at Ji Dong and remembered the scene when he first met Ji Dong.

He glanced at Ji Dong tremblingly, then calmed down slowly, looking at him with nostalgia in his eyes.

"It's good that you come, Brother Lin, come and sit down!"

Zhang Juzheng pulled Lin Yi into the pavilion, the servant lowered his head, Zhang Juzheng waved him to go further away.

Only Zhang Juzheng and Lin Yi were left in the stone pavilion. Zhang Juzheng asked Lin Yi to sit down and poured him tea.

"Brother Lin, why did it take you so long to come to see me? I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I have already done what I told you back then. Look at Daming today, oh yes, Brother Lin, hasn't he seen you now? Dear Daming, how about I go take a look with you?"

In front of Ji Dong, although Zhang Juzheng was very old, he still maintained his friendship with him without any airs.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi smiled and said, "No need, Brother Zhang, I have already seen Daming today. Under Brother Zhang's New Deal, Daming is thriving today, and there is already a sign of ZTE."

Zhang Juzheng’s New Deal was also called Wanli Zhongxing. Although Zhang Juzheng’s situation was not as good as it was in his prime when he was in his later years, the influence of the new law still continued to affect the entire Ming Dynasty.

Hearing Ji Yi's appreciation, Zhang Juzheng grinned, with a complacent expression on his face, and the ravines on his face were also full of joy.

"Brother Lin, it's really ridiculous." Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard with his hand, and said, "I just did what I was supposed to do, it's nothing."

"Being able to find a job in his position is already an example." Lin Yi said.

Zhang Juzheng's face was full of joy, and now he especially liked to hear such praise, especially when it came from Lin Yi's mouth, he felt even more joyful in his heart.

"Brother Lin, it's a shame to say that about me. I haven't seen you for so many years. I had a dream about Brother Lin a few days ago. Fortunately, it's okay. Fortunately, I can see Brother Lin again." Zhang Juzheng chatted like a family Chat with Ji Dong.

Ji Dong also seemed very casual and relaxed, and the atmosphere between the two once again made the audience feel happy.

Although Zhang Juzheng is very old, when the two talk, they seem to be close friends who have crossed time.

"What a wonderful friendship spanning so many years!"

"In Zhang Juzheng's heart, Lin Yi must be a unique existence."

"That's for sure, after all, he is a friend who will listen to his ideals and ambitions!"

"I'm actually a little envious of this kind of friendship. This is really a friendship between gentlemen."

In the picture, hearing Zhang Juzheng's slightly sentimental words, Lin Yi asked, "Why did Brother Zhang say that?"

Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "When people are at my age, they are almost the same. The last time we said goodbye, Brother Lin didn't tell me when he would see me again, but it made me very nervous, and I was afraid that I would never see you again." I can't see Brother Lin."

"Fortunately, although the years are fast, at least I saw Brother Lin in the end."

Lin Yi smiled at Zhang Juzheng, and then asked: "As the years change, Brother Zhang also changes. I wonder if Brother Zhang's heart has changed?"

Zhang Juzheng was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Of course not, how could my heart change? I am a minister of Daming, so naturally my heart is towards Daming."

Lin Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Zhang's heart hasn't changed?"

Zhang Juzheng's smile gradually subsided, and his face became a little dark. As his face darkened, the prestige on his body gradually dissipated. He stretched out his hands to stroke his beard, and there was a little danger in his eyes.

It was only then that the audience realized that the honest scholar and refined temperament were all Zhang Juzheng's disguise!
Today's Zhang Juzheng has already sat at the top of an official, the first assistant, the grand teacher, the emperor's teacher, the emperor relies on, the emperor's teacher, it can be said that today's Zhang Juzheng is definitely under one person, above ten thousand people, almost no one in the court dares Against him, even the conservatives who strongly opposed the New Deal did not dare to take any action.

How could such a high-ranking person be a pure scholar?

Now when he is slightly angry, the heavy official authority has already appeared on his body. He is no longer as solemn and sharp as when he was middle-aged, but like a bronze cauldron. As long as he doesn't speak or look at people, In fact, it is easy to ignore, but as long as he opens his eyes and makes any movements, no one can ignore such an existence!
This kind of introverted power proves that Zhang Juzheng seems to be a different person from before!

The audience also gasped. Although they had seen many angry emperors, they were still amazed at Zhang Juzheng's power.

"As expected of the chief assistant, this aura."

"This is the aura of the teacher of the Son of Heaven!"

"It's such a heavy official authority, it's like sitting on a grand teacher's chair, talking to you with a smile, but someone who can make you lose your official position in the blink of an eye is playing with you in the palm of your hand."

The audience looked at the screen, and they were not worried about Lin Yi's safety. It was only after seeing Zhang Juzheng like this that they realized that Zhang Juzheng had changed so much in the past 35 years.

If we say that when we met Lin Yigang 35 years ago, Zhang Juzheng was a mature young man with ambitions in his heart, then 15 years ago, Zhang Juzheng had grown into a person with the temperament of the chief minister and the demeanor of a prime minister. Now, Zhang Juzheng is like an old lady. Like a teacher, he has a lot of official authority and is reserved, but just one glance can make people feel intimidated.

In the picture, Zhang Juzheng's official authority did not displease Lin Yi in any way. Lin Yi took a sip of tea, but looked up into Zhang Juzheng's eyes.

A little surprise flashed across Zhang Juzheng's eyes. Even the little emperor would have some fear in the face of him who was a little angry, but Lin Yi remained motionless, and he was still content.

This feeling made Zhang Juzheng feel that he was meeting Emperor Yongle, he thought about it, and said lightly: "Brother Lin, did you hear the rumors?"

Zhang Juzheng felt that he had never changed his mind. He supported the emperor and let him learn Confucian classics and history, hoping that he would grow into a rigorous and upright person.He practiced the examination method, built military defenses, and there were few things in his life that failed him. Except for that one thing, he always kept his bottom line.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I didn't hear the rumors. Brother Zhang, I came from later generations. Everything about you will naturally be recorded in later history books."

Zhang Juzheng smiled, with a bit of coldness.

"Brother Lin, why don't you tell me what mistakes I have made in the history books of later generations? Zhang Juzheng is worthy of the heaven above, the earth below, and even more worthy of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng really doesn't know what is wrong with him!"
