Zhang You's words made Zhang Juzheng can't help but think of his career on the cold bench for many years before he entered the cabinet, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, and at the same time sighed, this Zhang Zicheng is only twenty years old, but what he thinks and thinks is far beyond the reach of others. Listening to his words, I am afraid that those bigwigs in the DPRK and China who have been in the sea for a long time may not be able to say it. Such a thoughtful and capable young man, it is normal for the emperor to favor the queen mother, even if one of his six sons is half as good as him, he does not have to walk on thin ice, trembling, and worrying about what will happen behind him.

"The jade is not a weapon, Lord Yuanfu, I think what Zicheng said is good, in terms of educating children, we are really not as good as Ning Yuanbo, he dares to let go and beat his own children, the eldest son is like a pine, and he can already take charge of himself." Qi Jiguang said with a smile.

Hearing Qi Jiguang mention Li Rusong, Zhang You couldn't help but think of the three-eyed weapon, and said with a smile: "Brother Zimao is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has a very smart brain, and the three-eyed divine weapon he made inspired me a lot." ”

After saying a while, he glanced at Qi Jiguang and joked: "There are talents in the Jiangshan generation, Brother Zimao is just over 30 years old, right?" Now that she is the chief military officer of Shanxi, when she is as old as her, I'm afraid she hasn't found a chance to show her strengths, right? ”

"Who says it's not, this is called the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, a generation of new people replacing the old, let me say, this world is not the world of the world, the future, it should be the world of your generation."

"Okay, Yuanjing, how old are you, and you're still far from the year of the sixtieth year. Rushing to your body, there is no problem at all with serving the court for twenty years, but the old man's body, it is really the old lady's New Year, a year is not as good as a year, fortunately, Zicheng is smart and gave me a chance to cultivate, some time ago, I really felt afraid that I would not be able to survive this year. ”

Qi Jiguang had long suspected that the news of Zhang Juzheng's poisoning was boring, but now when he heard Zhang Juzheng's exaggeration of his intelligence, his heart suddenly moved, and at the same time he was very pleased, and said that Lord Yuanfu really didn't treat me as an outsider, otherwise, he would definitely not tell such a secret news.

He wouldn't think that Zhang Juzheng was speechless, the dignified head of the empire, to put it mildly, he had already become a fine, and his words and deeds would definitely not have such a mistake.

Zhang You also felt Zhang Juzheng's trust in Qi Jiguang, and said with a smile: "The kid is just a little ghostly, he shouldn't be praised by the adult like this, but you, my lord, have been heartbroken for our Ming Empire for so many years, without your hard work for more than ten years, there would be no Chengping in the four seas today, so you are the mainstay of the empire, absolutely, it is not an exaggeration at all." ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Zhang Juzheng is no exception, especially this praise comes from Zhang You's mouth, which he admires very much, and listening to it in his ears makes him more comfortable.

However, with his identity, he refused to show this joy, and waved his hand: "This is just your kid's opinion, up and down the government and the opposition, there are many people who wish the old man would die soon..."

"Don't pay attention to those who say bad things about you behind your back, the greater the achievement, the more enemies, no one will care what those beggars outside the Chaoyang Gate think...... Denigration, in a sense, itself represents looking up. ”

Zhang Juzheng was not annoyed by being interrupted, and looked at Zhang You in surprise: "Okay, boy, slander is looking up, if you can say such things, it's no wonder that you don't care about the joint impeachment of you at all." ”

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "The reason why His Majesty the Emperor supports you to run a newspaper is nothing more than that you are dissatisfied with the fact that public opinion is in the hands of the civil system. ”

In the era of the supremacy of imperial power, there are absolutely very few people who dare to say that imperial power needs to be restrained.

Zhang You was not surprised that Zhang Juzheng was able to say this, this person was able to leave a strong mark in history, and it is very normal to have this awareness.

However, for Qi Jiguang, these words are too sensational, he has received an education of loyalty to the country since he was a child, and deep down, perhaps at some point, he has indeed been dissatisfied with the imperial power, but he has never dared to have such a rebellious thought.

He was a little frightened, looked around, and even got up and walked to the door to look out.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yuan Jing is too cautious, but it's just a casual discussion, this is an inner house, Zicheng has a good way of governing the family, even if someone really listens to it, it will never be spread outside, right?" ”

Qi Jiguang walked back a little embarrassed, wanting to explain, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only spread his hands and said: "Adults and Zicheng are both dragons and phoenixes among people, dare to think what ordinary people dare not think, these words are heard in the ears, it really makes the humble heart tremble?" ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled, didn't answer, but looked at Zhang You, and continued the topic: "Of course, how to maintain the balance between monarchs and ministers, all dynasties and dynasties have not been able to find a reasonable way, and the old man does not dare to expect you, this kid, to solve this problem, but to take precautions, remind you in advance, don't rely too much on the emperor's support, sometimes, the emperor may not be able to decide your fate." ”

Zhang You is well versed in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and knows that Zhang Juzheng's words are by no means untargeted, and the reason why he told himself is just out of concern for himself.

"Adults mention it, kid remember, it's rare for adults to come here. Let's talk about something light-hearted. Zhang You knew that the suffering of the common people had always been the issue that Zhang Juzheng was most concerned about, so he told the situation of sweet potatoes and corn in a way similar to repaying the peach.

Zhang Juzheng was really very interested, and asked Zhang You to call Alfred, who acted as an interpreter, and discussed with great interest for a long time, not only talking about the cultivation and yield of sweet potatoes and corn, but also talking about European customs and Catholic teachings.

Listening to Zhang You's introduction of Zhang Juzheng's identity, Alfred naturally knew everything and said everything.

Zhang Juzheng was going back to Pinggu the next day, and Alfred was also going back to Macao, so in order not to affect the next day's itinerary, at a suitable opportunity, Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to end this long talk with a unique taste.

"Motosuke-sama seems to be very happy." Joining hands with Zhang's Mansion, Qi Jiguang said to Zhang Juzheng with a smile, and said: "Zicheng is really a rare talent, Ximan's words are so skilled, but he is still young, if there is no adult to support him, this joint impeachment alone is estimated to be enough for him to drink a pot." ”

Zhang Juzheng was noncommittal, suddenly sighed, and said: "No one can protect him for a lifetime, the old man only hopes that the so-called sweet potatoes and corn are really as high as he said, and with this great credit, his foundation can be truly stabilized." ”

Qi Jiguang nodded, his eyes showing fascination: "I am also looking forward to it, if it is really so productive, we Daming will not be afraid of anything." ”
