Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath, his eyes were open, some bloodshot eyes appeared in them, he turned his head to look at Ji Dong with a sad look in his eyes.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng like this, the audience was also stunned.

Even if you can't listen to one side's words, but ask yourself, is Zhang Juzheng right?

At that time, he was competing with Gao Gong for the throne, Gao Gong lost Emperor Longqing, and the royal family was weak. If Gao Gong controlled the government, he would completely lose power in the first place, and the little emperor would become a puppet.

Maybe it won't become a puppet, but who knows about this matter, the only way is to do it yourself.

By the time Emperor Longqing died, Zhang Juzheng had been dormant for 26 years. Now that he has the opportunity to show his ambitions, no one with ambitions and ideals will give up the opportunity!
Zhang Juzheng stood up, hit Gao Gong, and taught Wanli himself.

Many viewers have read the history of the Ming Dynasty. They know that Zhang Juzheng really treated Wanli as his own son during this period. He taught him classics and history, Confucian morality, taught him to be a wise emperor, and even wrote textbooks for Wanli himself. Put all your hopes on Wanli.

In government affairs, he suppressed eunuchs and those officials who did not work. Under his New Deal, the atmosphere of Ming Dynasty has taken on a new look!
As a courtier, as an innovator, Zhang Juzheng has done everything he can, even if his process is not clean, even if he has done many bad things, but his life is beyond reproach!
"Zhang Juzheng is right. If he doesn't control the government, the New Deal will be unsustainable."

"Zhang Juzheng was attacked by the Conservative Party immediately after his death, which shows the power of the Conservative Party. Moreover, he also attacked eunuchs and made too many enemies. If he gave up these things and chose to resign from office, the New Deal would definitely fall apart."

"His power is too great. Once he abdicates, there will be an uproar in the court."

"It's not that Zhang Juzheng didn't try to abdicate in the later period, but he was repeatedly retained by the Queen Mother."

"He's right. If he doesn't have power, how can he keep the Daming country? For Daming, he doesn't want family, friends, or anything. Will he still be reviled in future generations?"

The audience looked at Zhang Juzheng, even though this was a one-sided statement, but they were irrefutable. Under the circumstances at that time, who would dare to say that Ming Dynasty could live without Zhang Juzheng?
In the picture, Zhang Juzheng looked at Lin Yi. He gradually calmed down his emotions, and the grief in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

"The thing I regret most in my life is not worrying about my father."

"Brother Lin, do you know? When my father left, I was still reading the official documents of the court. I couldn't put down what I was doing and go back and take a look. It's like when my grandfather was drunk to death by the king of Liao, but what did I do?" Can't do the same."

"The world scolds me, saying that I don't worry about my father and don't abide by the ancestral system, but who knows the pain in my heart? There are many objections to the New Deal. I can't leave. Brother Lin, I can't leave."

Zhang Juzheng's eyes were reddish, with tears stuck in his sockets, he raised his head, stubbornly not letting the tears fall.

Even though he is nearly sixty now, Zhang Juzheng still feels sad when he mentions this matter.

"I also want to go back, brother Lin, I also want to go back, but how can I go back? How can I go back? I go back, what should Daming do? What should Long Live Lord do? The New Deal has offended too many people, I The ones left behind are wolves, tigers and leopards, Long Live Lord is still young, how can he face those people?"

"If you want to repay your kindness, how can you be sympathetic!" Zhang Juzheng growled.

He is not afraid of fearful words, what he is afraid of is having no way to serve the country.

Zhang Juzheng closed his eyes to keep his tears from streaming down. After a long time, he lowered his head and looked at Lin Yi with a tired look in his eyes.

"Brother Lin, what about you? How do you see me?"

There was hope in Zhang Juzheng's eyes. He cared more about Lin Yi's words than what Lin Yi said about those future generations he could not see, because Lin Yi was the only friend who had been with him since he was young and had not left him until now.

A friend who knows everything about him.

The audience looked at Zhang Juzheng with longing eyes, and expressed their evaluations on the barrage.

"It's Daming's integrity!!"

"I didn't understand why officials in ancient times wanted to serve their country. I still don't know now, but seeing Zhang Juzheng, I understand what it means to lead by example!"

"Great minister of the Ming Dynasty! A generation of enlightened ministers!!"

"It's the bright face of the ages!!"

The audience shouted. In the picture, Zhang Juzheng looked at Lin Yi.

Ji Dong looked at Zhang Juzheng. He knew Zhang Juzheng's complexity as early as when he was reading history books.

However, he can understand it very clearly.

Since ancient times, those who make changes must never stop because of small things.

For Zhang Juzheng, relatives, friends, teachers, and everything else can make way for his ambition and determination.

Lin Yi looked at Zhang Juzheng, stretched out his hand, and said, "In my heart, Brother Zhang is a good minister of the Ming Dynasty, a bright minister, because Brother Zhang gave this gloomy Daming one more time to see the moon and clouds."

He looked at Zhang Juzheng on the opposite side and continued: "Brother Zhang may not know that after Brother Zhang, countless people followed Zhang Juzheng's reform, and Zhang Juzheng's reform was called Wanli Zhongxing in later generations!"

"Later generations call you the only great statesman in the Ming Dynasty. After you passed away, some people said that there is no Zhang Juzheng in the world."

"Who is not muddy on this journey? Brother Zhang deserves the most credit, which is irrefutable."

Lin Yi looked at Zhang Juzheng with a smile in his eyes. Zhang Juzheng had a dazed expression on his face, as if he didn't expect anyone to say that about him.

"As far as I am concerned, it is my good fortune to be able to be friends with Brother Zhang."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng sat stiffly in his seat. He looked at Lin Yi, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin said so, so I feel at ease."

There was a sudden smile in Zhang Juzheng's eyes, and his expression seemed to relax a lot. He looked at Lin Yi, closed his eyes, and exhaled, "I've been a little worried since I knew Brother Lin is from the next generation."

"I don't know what kind of achievements I will have in this life, and I don't know whether this new law that is nothing new can be recorded in the annals of history, and I don't know whether future generations will blame Zhang Juzheng for all the mistakes in Zhang Juzheng's life."

"I have wanted to ask you many times what people in the future think of me, but I dare not ask you. I think, I must wait for me to do better before I can ask Brother Lin."

Zhang Juzheng opened his eyes, the eye sockets were slightly wet.

"Now, you don't need to know. I have lived for so long, and I have done everything I can do. If future generations criticize me, Zhang Juzheng will admit it."

Zhang Juzheng looked at Ji Dong, patted his thigh, and laughed.

"Brother Lin, brother Lin, with your evaluation, I, Zhang Juzheng, are not considered incompetent."
