Lin Yi looked at Zhang Juzheng. Although Zhang Juzheng didn't care about what he said, he slowly clenched his hands on the table. He turned slightly to his side so that his gaze fell to the side.

He clearly cared about what Ji Dong said.

"History of the Ming Dynasty in later generations has records that Juzheng became self-willed after he seized his love. Most of his deposed officials are based on love and hatred. People who use things at left and right often use bribes. Feng Baoke Xu Juezhen used to command Tongzhi in Jinyiwei, Shu Nanzhen Fu. The three sons of Juzheng all ascended the ranks. Cangtouyou became an official on the seventh day, and many civil and military ministers of honor and marriage returned, and the marriage was good. Seven clothes were reported and listed among the scholar-bureaucrats. The world benefited from evil. "

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he paused and continued: "Let people do what they want, so that they can hold the power of the central government, do unrighteous acts, sacrifice others, and abandon teachers."

When Lin Yi said a word, Zhang Juzheng's hand retracted even more. There was no expression on his face, and even less emotion in his eyes.

"Forcing the government, not keeping the system."

When he said the last three words, Zhang Juzheng suddenly trembled. He raised his head and looked at Ji Dong with his eyes open. As if he wanted to see through Ji Dong, his eyes were firmly fixed on Ji Dong's face.

"Brother Lin, do you see me that way?"

Zhang Juzheng uttered a word abruptly, his voice was old and his back was bent, as if he was a little out of breath under the pressure of these words, he took a deep breath, moved his eyes again, and waited for a long time before opening his mouth.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the eyes of the audience in front of the TV were sore.

Zhang Juzheng is now 58 years old, he would be considered a middle-aged person in future generations, and he is already considered an old man in this era. His hair is black and white, and his body is slightly bent because of years of fatigue. He looks very tired.

As soon as the voice came out, it also carried this oldness and twilight.

"Oh, Zhang Juzheng, who was full of ambition back then, is also getting old."

"Can you turn bad when you are old? He is cronyistic in his later years, and he used to do things to others in the officialdom before!"

"His contribution cannot be erased, but Zhang Juzheng is definitely not that upright!"

The audience began to divide into two factions. One said that Zhang Juzheng was not wrong, he was just an ordinary person, and the other said that Zhang Juzheng's later stage was absurd, and that he himself ruined the New Deal.

The audience is discussing on the barrage,

In the picture, Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth slowly.

"In my life, from the University of Martial Arts Hall to the current chief assistant, Brother Lin, this road is not easy." Zhang Juzheng looked at Lin Yi, his eyes were still cloudy, but with countless emotions and helplessness .

He is just old, but not blind, nor amnesiac.

"Recently, I feel quite powerless. Many decisions are not as clear as when I was young. I did do some stupid things, but Brother Lin, how can I accept what you said?"

Zhang Juzheng was not as excited as before, he just felt a little sad in his heart.

"I am not Zhang Juzheng in the future generations. Before I became a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall, Yan Song was in power. It is not that I did not have a head. I wrote a letter, but no one paid attention to my political opinions, so I knew that this imperial court has long been a pool of stagnant water."

"When I was an official, I also went to the fields to see Daming Jiangshan. From this look, I knew that if Daming Jiangshan didn't think about changing, it would be over. But I can't do anything."

Zhang Juzheng looked at Ji Dong, and he frowned, with only sadness in his eyes.

He is not a young man anymore, if he was young, he would have argued excitedly, but he is old and feels powerless these days, so he can only explain himself sentence by sentence, to Ji Dong, to the world, Perhaps also to posterity.

"I want to save my country, but I can only do it if I stand tall. After the fall of Yan Song, my teacher Xu Jie ascended to the position of chief assistant. At that time, Gao Gong was also in the cabinet. The two of them were senior Old man, I can't do anything, let alone Gao Gong was the late emperor's teacher. Later, my teacher retired and Gao Gong took over."

Zhang Juzheng averted his eyes, looked outside the pavilion, and continued: "After my master retreated, I entrusted the third son to me. I am indeed ashamed of that matter, but if I want to fight with Gao Gong, then I will sit down now." Not here."

"Brother Lin, do you understand the dangers of the imperial court?"

Zhang Juzheng spoke lightly, but this question was clearly heard by the audience.

Yeah, do they understand?They just know that the factionalism in Ming Dynasty is serious, but do they know the danger of being in the midst of factionalism?Did the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty really win political victory by fighting in the court?
In the past few hundred years, how many people have died in party struggles?How many people like Yang Jisheng are there?
Such a chaotic imperial court is like a rope on a cliff, walking on thin ice, if one is not careful, he will fall to the bottom of the cliff and be smashed to pieces.

"Oh my god, I just realized that I saw him with modern eyes again after he asked this question!"

"Who says no? He is also a human being. In such an environment, it is extremely difficult for him to walk step by step."

"At that time, Xu Jie had just left, and Gao Gong had great power in the cabinet, not to mention that Long Qing, who had just ascended the throne, was still his apprentice. If Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong were to fight against each other, they would almost certainly die."

"None of us knew about the imperial court at that time, but how could the party struggles in the past few years be so simple. If Zhang Juzheng didn't do this, there would be no Wanli Zhongxing."

"According to our point of view, his methods are indeed not visible, but his credit cannot be concealed at all!"

The audience was discussing, and some people who were black Zhang Juzheng also fell into deep thought.

Do they really understand the party struggles of that era?

In the picture, after Zhang Juzheng asked this question, Lin Yi looked at Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng looked away, and continued: "I have to give up many, many people, because Daming is more important than those people!"

"My grandfather named me Bai Gui when I was a child, and hoped that I could serve the country. Later, Master Li Shiao changed my name to Juzheng, hoping that I would be a pillar of the country. I have met many, many people during my journey, and they all hoped that I would become a national leader. Great Ming virtuous minister, and I have always demanded myself by this standard."

Zhang Juzheng looked at Ji Dong, his eyes became clearer and cleared a lot.

"Brother Lin, dare I ask, what does Daming look like today? Is it a chaotic world, or Xiang Rong's rule?"

"Shaodi was young, and he ascended the throne at the age of ten. I implemented the new policy. The new policy cannot be done by me alone. If I don't have power, how can I support the young emperor to this day? All the ministers in this court are Yan Songzhi. Gentlemen, the eunuchs in the inner court, everyone is a ten-time attendant, power? Who is not greedy? If I delegate power, everyone in the court can come and bite me! Once I fall, what will the young emperor do? Two Palaces Queen Mother, can you support the young emperor? What should the world do?"

"Where should the New Deal go?"

When Zhang Juzheng said this, his emotions became extremely agitated. He also knew that everyone in the world was saying that he was in charge of the central government and wanted to make the court his own.

But he doesn't hold great power, how can he keep it in this world!
