Frankly. Zhang Juzheng's three profligate laughter. That really scared Zhang Fan. It's not for any other reason. To say that once in a while so arrogant. It's not incomprehensible. Even Zhang Fan himself has not had such a time.

But. Obviously. There are things and truths that cannot be applied to everyone. Just like Zhang Juzheng. The words arrogant and casual really have nothing to do with him.

And yet even so. Zhang Juzheng would do this. It's really surprising.

But after the surprise. Then came the question. And after Zhang Fan asked Zhang Juzheng. In his heart, he can understand a little bit.

"There's really nothing wrong with that," he said. This sentence made Zhang Fan feel very surprised when he first heard it. There is no question of what it is. There is no question of what it is.

I was amazed for most of the day. Zhang Fan reacted at this time. It turned out that Zhang Juzheng was referring to the problem in front of them. Pondering on the "test method". There are no more problems in it. Thought of this. Laughed at Zhang Juzheng's sudden laughter. Zhang Fan can understand.

It's very simple to think about. After all, these can be regarded as Zhang Juzheng's life's work. Although it was only a few years when I really started planning. And that's just part of Mr. Zhang's sprawling plans. Just a beginning. But be aware. Zhang Juzheng was thinking that this matter had not been a day or two for a long time.

Possible. Zhang Juzheng, who had just entered the officialdom that year. It's just like everyone else. This is not to say that he is intellectually or learned. It's about his heart. Just like everyone else. Even Zhang Fan, a person from hundreds of years later. At the time of just entering officialdom. The situation with Zhang Juzheng can be said to be inseparable. Full of ideals. Single-mindedly ambitious. Being favored by people who are in high positions and respected in the court, and so on.

However. The so-called reality is brutal. It doesn't matter if you can see it or not. Or just don't want to think about it that way. But reality is reality. Someday you'll understand. Wait until that time. If it weren't for you accommodating reality. Then you are swallowed up by reality. Of course. The latter is not uncommon. There are even quite a few people who have been able to survive tenaciously. Like Hai Jui is one of them.

Most of them though. The best thing to do is to become numb. Ignore it. Don't help the abuse. Nor do they obey the general stream.

And for many more it is the case of the former. They will accommodate reality. Zhang Fan didn't dare to say that he was not an accommodating person. The experience of his previous life actually made him understand early on how big the gap between reality and ideals really is. But nowadays. Although he has also accommodated reality. But I still hope that I can maintain such a sober feeling. Just like the people who are in the quagmire now. Although the feet have been stuck in the mud. But it's better to keep it as it is. Don't sink too deep.

And Zhang Juzheng is not such a person.

But. Zhang Juzheng is different. All in all. Zhang Juzheng saw the cruelty of reality clearly. I also know if I want to go against it. It is also quite difficult. But Zhang Juzheng still has the idea of wanting to change it in his heart. It's just that Zhang Juzheng's ingenuity played a role at this time. He understood. It's useless to just be brutal. Not only did it not work. It will also put itself in trouble.

Thereupon. Zhang Juzheng made a decision. From the moment he made his decision. He began to like drilling. Although in essence. Zhang Juzheng is still an ambitious and good official in front of the officials in the court. But actually. Zhang Juzheng no longer thinks about climbing up all the time. High-ranking officials are his target.

But. High-ranking officials are not Zhang Juzheng's ultimate goal. These are just a means for him to prepare to achieve his ultimate goal. And high-ranking officials are just a condition he needs.

Why. Very simple. If you don't have power. You're nothing more than a nobody. So how can you make any changes. Who wants to listen to the words of a nobody. There will even be people who don't like you. Brutally suppress you. It can even make you not have to turn over.

And only in the hands of the power. Stand on a high place. Words carry weight. That's for sure.

Zhang Juzheng understands this truth. So that time. He devoted all his energy to the court. Find ways to get promoted. The desire to change did not change. Although he also mentioned it to others at that time. But it didn't put it in the main place.

Until now. disagree with oneself. But he couldn't do anything to his teacher Xu Jie. left; At first, I was like-minded with myself. In the end, it turned against each other. The high arch that was as deep as the sea was also knocked down by itself; In order to fulfill the wish. Willingly cooperate with a eunuch. Even for him.

These things. Zhang Fan understands. Even Zhang Fan has experienced it. But. Even so. Zhang Ju made these inappropriate actions for the sake of good intentions. But Zhang Fan always felt it. Zhang Juzheng has really changed. It's not the same person he used to be. But what does the future look like? Zhang Fan didn't know. But in front of the eye. At the very least, Zhang Juzheng's original intention has not changed. His ambitions have not deteriorated. There is no depravity because of the power of today. In short. Although Zhang Juzheng has some problems today. But it's not big. What's more, what he's going to do is a really good thing. Zhang Fan had no reason not to help him.

Figured it out. Zhang Fan also understood why Zhang Juzheng laughed out loud. After all, no matter what. Zhang Juzheng came for this moment. I did a lot of wrong things. And in the DPRK for so many years. It's not hard. And now. It's finally coming to an eyebrow. His great ambition was finally unfolded.

This kind of thing. Don't say it's Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Fan is sure. Even if it's a different person. I can't help but laugh out loud. Even. Zhang Fan felt that Zhang Juzheng was already very reserved. After all, so many years of wishing. Finally, there are eyebrows. And he just laughed a few times.

Figured it out. Zhang Fan also had a smile on his face. Naturally, he could understand it.

Merely. This smile didn't stay on Zhang Fan's face for long. It's a look of confusion that has changed back. It's not that Zhang Fan is a dull person. Rather, it was because he had something else in mind. That's ......

"The teacher said there was no problem here." Zhang Fan said with a frown. "Definitely. The students didn't see anything wrong with that. But if it's like a teacher. Isn't it too sure? ”

"Oh. What did you say. "Obviously. Although Zhang Juzheng has calmed down. But the mood has not fully recovered. He didn't hear what Zhang Fan said clearly.

"The student is ......," Zhang Fan repeated. We are facing the entire Ming Dynasty. Thousands of corrupt officials. Although not everyone of these people deserves to be punished. But once this 'test law' is enacted. It will be difficult for them to be covetous. It's not that the students are afraid that they will cause some kind of trouble. But the hearts of people are unpredictable. One thing students are sure of. Most of the people in it certainly can't stand this kind of life. After all, they are used to the kind of oil and water that can be fished. can also take the days of promotion and fortune. How could it be so easy to go back to the past. When the time comes. These people don't know what they will come up with to continue to be corrupt. Or find the loopholes in the 'test method' to continue to deceive.

"It's not that the students are too pessimistic. It's just that there is no problem in what the teacher said. This is in the student's view. It's still an exaggeration. ”

Zhang Fan's kung fu of speaking. Zhang Juzheng has also calmed down. Quietly listened to what Zhang Fan said. But. The smile on his face was much smaller than before. But it hasn't disappeared completely. Apparently. Even if Zhang Fan said such words, it can be regarded as increasing the morale of others and destroying his own prestige. But Zhang Juzheng is still optimistic.

This couldn't help but make Zhang Fan feel even more strange.

"Yuande. These are the words you say. I understand it all. Zhang Juzheng said. Do you think I'm a little too arrogant? Look down on those down there. As a matter of fact. You should understand. I'm not that kind of person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have worked hard for half a year. It's all about that. ”

"Then teacher, you ......" Zhang Fan still didn't quite understand what Zhang Juzheng meant.

"I mean......" Mr. Zhang said. There is no such thing as perfection. From ancient times to the present day. Or a few hundred thousand years later. Nothing will be perfect either. The same is true of this 'test method'. No matter how detailed you think about it. In the future, someone will always drill a leak. If you want to be obsessed with this. I'm afraid we should burn these right away. Since then, he has been an official in peace.

"But neither you nor I will be. And. Important: Aren't you now unable to see any leaks? So. I think it's a thing. We're done. And in the future. If someone really came up with a way to crack it. It doesn't matter. To know. Who am I now? Even if there is a situation then. It doesn't seem too big. Close the stable door after the horse has bolted. It's not too late. ”

Zhang Juzheng's words. Zhang Fan naturally understood.

Instead of dwelling on these things that are simply not perfect. It's better to look to the future. The "Examination Law" will be promulgated. Let those corrupt officials "help" themselves to improve.

And Zhang Juzheng also said it just now. He is a Cabinet Minister. Even if it's an ad hoc order. It's also fairly easy.
