Collection of Huaxia: the beginning of the inventory of the top ten ancient figures

Lin Yi bowed his hand lightly, and Zhang Juzheng subconsciously bowed his hand in return.

He raised his head and looked at Ji Dong. Lin Yi was about the same age as him, and he didn't look like a poor family, but...why was he talking nonsense?

Zhang Juzheng felt a little funny in his heart, so he said: "I think your Excellency is as old as me, and you don't look like a vulgar person, why do you want to do this business of bluffing and deceiving? Don't you let yourself down."

As soon as Zhang Juzheng said this, the audience couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, very good, Ji Dong is considered a magic stick again."

"Zhang Juzheng said, you goddamn stick, why did you even lie to me?"

"Hahahaha, funny, is this a must for Ji Dong to travel through?"

The audience thought it was funny, and Ji Dong secretly laughed in his heart.

Good guy, every time he comes to see these people, he will be regarded as a magic stick.

However, this is not unreasonable. If one day he meets a person on the road and tells him that he is from the future, then Ji Dong will probably think that person is a magic stick.

Ji Dong looked at Zhang Juzheng, who was looking at Ji Dong suspiciously.

Lin Yi explained: "I'm not a bluffer. This year is the 26th year of Jiajing. In the Jinshi examination, Zhang Juzheng ranked ninth in the second class. He was conferred as a good scholar. After 20 years, he will be the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the University of Martial Arts Hall."

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly, and said, "You mean that I will join the cabinet in 20 years?"

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly. Although he was young and mature, he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he heard this, so he reached out and took out a little bit of silver from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yi.

"I don't know why you want to be a fortune teller, but I heard that you are not an ordinary person when you talk. I think it's better for you to be an official career honestly."

Lin Yi shook his head, looked up at Zhang Juzheng, he didn't continue to explain, because time would prove a lot, he just said: "Your Excellency, you don't need to believe it, but I'm lucky enough to meet you once, how about chatting for a while?"

Zhang Juzheng heard that Lin Yi wanted to chat, so he took back his money, nodded and looked at the road in front of him, and said, "That's fine, I'm going back to the inn, why don't we go together?"

Lin Yi nodded, and then walked back side by side with Zhang Juzheng.

It is early spring in March by the river bank, many flowers have already bloomed, swaying in the wind, like small lanterns, it is not too late now, and I have been reading late these days, Zhang Juzheng also feels a little bit Tired, so the pace is very slow.

Lin Yi looked at the spring in front of him and asked, "I just heard the scholars talking about the important affairs of the court. Why is your lord silent in the back?"

Zhang Juzheng was watching the spring scenery, when he suddenly heard Lin Yi's question, he almost didn't react, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Brother Lin, you're welcome, I haven't become a Jinshi yet, it's inappropriate for you to call me that, My small character is big, you and I are about the same age, just call me small character."

"I heard what Erzhan and Li Qiu said just now. Although Zhong Fang came out to smooth things over, he was on Erzhan's side. I was different. I was on Li Qiu's side."

Since Lin Yi asked, Zhang Juzheng explained in a warm voice that he actually doesn't like to talk too much, but when he gets along with Lin Yi, he feels a very comfortable atmosphere, which makes him unconsciously want to put his heart everything revealed.

"Right now, I'm just a recruiter, and I don't have an official position. Even if there is something in the court, I shouldn't talk about it."

Lin Yi nodded, and then asked: "What if there is an official position and the right to speak up?"

Zhang Juzheng walked slowly, his right hand slightly tightened.

"Things in the officialdom are very complicated. I haven't entered the officialdom yet, not to mention being under someone's command and being reused by anyone. It's all for my sake."

What Zhang Juzheng said was very correct, but it was ambiguous.

Those in the audience who were familiar with Zhang Juzheng began to discuss it.

"Even after Zhang Juzheng became an official, he still has two aspects. He seemed to be very neutral all the time. Of course, in his later years, he was a little bit worse."

"Zhang Juzheng has actually cooperated with Xu Jie, Yan Song, and Gao Gong since he was an official, but he hasn't made much statement."

"This is the demeanor of a generation of Mingxiang. Does everyone have to stand up?"

"Come on, Zhang Juzheng is not considered a prime minister, right? He is really good at governing the country, but in the later period, he left a big mess for the Ming Dynasty. He is not a prime minister, especially in the later period."

"No way, Zhang Juzheng's whipping method and many of his policies are very helpful to Daming."

"That was only in the middle period. In the later period, Zhang Juzheng was nepotism and handled the government affairs according to his own mood. He has long since drifted away."

The people in the barrage began to argue, and the center of the debate was Zhang Juzheng's character evaluation. In the screen, after Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, he sighed silently.

Lin Yi looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked, "Why is Brother Zhang sighing?"

Zhang Juzheng rubbed his right hand, then threw the purple flower into the stream beside him.

"Brother Lin, I see that you are friendly, and you are different from those people. I became famous sooner, and many people have favored me a lot. I also want to live up to their expectations and become a person who can accomplish something."

"But the political atmosphere in the imperial court is too chaotic now. Only Mingzhe protects himself. Don't you think so? People like Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Jisheng will definitely be targeted by Yan Song and others. In such court battles, If you are not careful, you will lose your life!"

"Zhang Juzheng is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Master Li Shiao changed my name for me. He hoped that I would serve the country with all my loyalty. But if Zhang Juzheng died in such a court party struggle, he would have no chance."

Zhang Juzheng tilted his head to look at Lin Yi. Some of his words seemed to be telling himself, and some seemed to be explaining what he just said to Lin Yi.

He is not greedy for life and afraid of death, nor is he lacking in courage.

On the contrary, if he died for Daming, he would be willing!

But losing his life in such a party struggle is not worth it for Zhang Juzheng. He wants to serve the country, but serving the country does not mean arguing with others in the court and criticizing rebellious ministers.

"I'm really not worth it to be an official of the imperial court." Zhang Juzheng turned his head again, and then looked at the front.

This time, there was a bit of lightness in his eyes.

He also struggled for a long time before, whether it is better to scold Yan Song for a while and then be killed by him, or to save his life temporarily, and then dedicate his life to the Daming Sheji.

Hearing Ji Dong's words predicting his future just now, he suddenly settled down and let himself choose the latter.

He was too young to waste his life in factional strife.
