Zhang Juzheng was surprised, his slender Danfeng eyes narrowed, and in an instant, the essence of light bloomed, and his eyes were as sharp as thunder and lightning.

Since sitting in the high position of the head of God's master, Zhang Juzheng's power and scheming are invincible, and all those who openly oppose him, whether it is the arrogant and domineering high-arched and high-ranking elders, or the well-known Hai Ruihai pen frame, have been exiled and degraded one by one, and even Wang Shizhen, the leader of the literary league, and the Geng family brothers, the leader of the Qingliu, have to bow to him.

In the controversy surrounding Ding Wei's love in the fifth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng showed his thunderous might, using the court staff and more harsh means to knock down all the stubborn officials who clearly asked him to go home to guard his deceased father's filial piety, but actually opposed the new policy.

In the past three or four years, the position of the emperor's first assistant has become more and more solid, and the Jiangling Party has responded from the center to the locality, and Zhang Juzheng has not heard the word "wrong" from others to him for a long time, so that when Qin Lin suddenly mentioned it, it seemed so abrupt and so harsh.

When Zhang Zixuan saw her father's expression, her heart jumped suddenly, she looked at Qin Lin softly, and pleaded with her eyes to slow down his words, give in for the time being, and slowly find a way to persuade her father tactfully.

Qin Lin threw a comforting look at Zhang Zixuan, but he did not back down in the slightest, but took a step forward in the face of Zhang Juzheng's forced gaze: "Mr. Zhang, you are indeed wrong. ”

Zhang Zixuan sighed faintly in her heart, and guessed that this guy would not change his mind.

Although Qin Lin and her father are different from her father, Wenwu Shutu and surname are different, the pride in their bones is exactly the same - maybe this is the reason why the daughter of the Prime Minister and Qin Lin fell in love at first sight.

Zhang Juzheng waved his sleeve robe heavily, and his voice sank: "Okay, since you said that the old man was wrong, you have to say the reason for the mistake!" If it makes sense, the old man will naturally follow the advice, if he can't say why, don't blame the old man, hum! ”

Even Wanli was afraid of Zhang Juzheng's three points, but Qin Lin was not afraid of his old man, and asked unhurriedly: "Wang Shizhen said that Mr. Zhang works for the country and is clumsy for his life, do you know?" ”

Zhang Juzheng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say this?" ”

Ah, did Hai Jui say that? Qin Lin touched his nose and sneered: "I'm sorry, I remembered wrong, well, it's about the same anyway, I just want to ask Mr. Zhang what he thinks of this sentence." ”

Zhang Juzheng was originally angry, but he couldn't cry or laugh when he came here, he originally thought that Qin Lin was going to say something big, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even remember who said this.

Zhang Zixuan also smiled dumbly, and was about to pretend to scold Qin Lin for a few words to make him retreat, but he saw that his father's expression was not as stern as just now.

"Although the old man doesn't look down on Hai Rui's roundabout master, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with his words," Zhang Juzheng stroked his dark beard lightly, faintly complacent.

Hai Rui said this comment after the discussion of seizing affection, Zhang Juzheng avoided returning to his hometown and guarding filial piety for three years through seizing affection, did not stay away from the political center of Beijing, retained his position, and kept the great cause of reforming the new policy, but he lost his name and became a despicable villain who was willing to be an unfilial son for the sake of power, especially in the eyes of Confucianism and Qingliu.

But in Zhang Juzheng's own opinion, this sentence is the best evaluation of himself, as a heavy minister, he controls the navigation route of the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he works to seek the country, and his clumsy career is precisely the perfect portrayal of his personal reputation at the expense of his personal name for the great cause of the new policy.

Besides, Zhang Juzheng, who is entrusted by the Empress Dowager Li and introduces Feng Bao as an Austrian aid, and the Jiangling Party is all over the government and the opposition, and the power of the world is overwhelming, why is there any need to seek the gains and losses of honor and disgrace? Just like Shang Ying, Huo Guang, and Wang Anshi, the honor and disgrace of right and wrong can be left for future generations to comment.

"The sentence "Working for the country and being clumsy for making a career is indeed a high evaluation," Qin Lin sighed and seemed to completely agree with Zhang Juzheng's opinion, "Those who are worthy of these eight words are only a few people in the history of the twenty-four years, such as Shang Ying, Zhou Yafu, Chao Cuo, Yue Wumu, Yu Shaobao, etc., right?" ”

Shang Ying, Zhou Yafu and others are all heroes and heroes of all dynasties, Qin Lin compares it to each other, Zhang Juzheng is quite proud, but his face changes when he listens.

Except for Shang Ying, the rest of the people all fell into the situation of death and political rest! The Han Dynasty was killed, the cutting of the feudal domain was terminated, and then there was the rebellion of the Seven Kings; Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty succumbed to the Fengbo Pavilion, gave up halfway through the Northern Expedition, and finally smashed Huanglong into a cake...... "Qin Lin, why do you say that the old man will follow in their footsteps, and why do you say that the old man's new policy will also die?" Zhang Juzheng's face was so angry that his face turned pale, he blew his beard, and his eyes were as condensed as substance.

Qin Lin sneered and said unceremoniously: "Mr. Zhang is the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the first minister of power, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yan Song, which power can match Mr. Zhang?" But what happened to them before and behind them? There are no outsiders here, with all due respect, there are only two ways left to be an official to your job, either to be liquidated after death, or to ...... Rebel! ”

Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Zixuan's father and daughter's faces changed greatly, and they each had their own minds, what Qin Lin said was not alarmist, but history written in blood for thousands of years.

is a very powerful minister and has the power of the world, either he rebels and becomes Cao Ying, or Huo Guang, who is liquidated after his death.

"Brother Qin is inevitable, too ......" Zhang Zixuan couldn't help but retort: "Since ancient times, there have been monarchs and ministers, such as Zhuge Liang assisting the queen of Shu Han, and he was not liquidated after his death. ”

Qin Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Miss, why should you deceive yourself? Do you think that His Majesty is Liu Adou today? ”

Zhang Zixuan's face changed greatly, and Fang Cai's rebuttal was only blurted out in a hurry, and only then did she remember that Wan Lisheng's surname was mean and unkind, where is the loyal and honest Liu Adou?

"Rebellion?" Zhang Juzheng also lost his mind for a moment, and then he quickly shook his head, drove this terrible thought out of his mind, and his expression became firm again: "No, the old man is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the old man will never rebel, Qin Lin, don't talk nonsense!" As for the death of people, hum, Your Majesty will finally understand my painstaking ......"

No wonder Zhang Juzheng and Wanli will get along from the monarch and ministers, and finally come to the step that makes the world sigh, Qin Lin can't help but feel sad for Zhang Juzheng, he sighed: "Mr. Zhang, Hai Rui said that you work for the country and are clumsy for your life, but the little nephew doesn't see it that way, but the little nephew thinks that you are clumsy in seeking your life and the country!" ”

Zhang Juzheng's face was flushed with anger, and Zhang Zixuan also glanced at him again and again, but Qin Lin said like a cannon: "You must know that the relationship between Zaifu and the emperor largely determines the situation of the country, Mr. Zhang only seeks the country and not his life, and in order to forcibly promote the new policy at present, he ignores the relationship between the monarch and the minister, thus laying disasters for the future, you yourself are not afraid of being liquidated after death, are you not afraid of ending up with the death of the government, and the new policy will become a bubble?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Holy Son of Heaven, will never do this," Zhang Juzheng said stubbornly.

"So, you're wrong here!" Qin Lin shook his head and said with great regret: "You all regard Wanli as the emperor and as the Son of Heaven, so you will demand him with the strictest standards, but you don't know that he is just an eighteen-year-old young man, as an emperor, you should know that he was born with a mean and unkind surname, narrow-minded, and the benefits of others will be forgotten in three days, and the mistakes of others will be remembered for a lifetime...... It's just a guy with mediocre qualifications and a bit of a cautious eye, but he just learned some imperial techniques from you, and he's still far from the Holy Tomorrow! ”

No one has ever dared to say that the emperor is like this, even Zhang Juzheng himself, who clearly knows Wanli's stinky temper, but maybe it is the teacher's tolerance for his disciples, or maybe it is the shackles of traditional thinking, he always regards him as the true son of heaven, even if there are any defects, he will definitely be corrected in the future, so the drafted edict is also extremely harsh and righteous, almost with the highest standards of the emperor to demand Wanli.

Only Qin Lin knows better than anyone that Wanli is definitely not a saint in the Ming Dynasty emperor, and his governing ability is too far behind Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di...... Such an emperor, counting on him to be like Tang Taizong, and counting on him to be as eloquent as Qin Shi Huang, isn't that chasing ducks to the shelves?

In fact, Zhang Juzheng himself knew this, but he didn't think about it out of instinct and didn't want to think about it, but once Qin Lin pierced the window paper, he immediately thought of the trick.

Since he is unwilling to be Cao Ying, he, the first auxiliary emperor, will eventually return to his hometown, no matter how prosperous he is, he can't compare to the young Wanli.

One day he said that he would return to his hometown and Wanli would completely control the government, would the emperor give a complete reversal to the new policy because of his resentment in his heart and the instigation of the annihilation of the people?

Not only does this possibility exist, but it is also very large!

Qin Lin looked at the change in Zhang Juzheng's expression, and added a fire to the side: "Mr. Zhang knows that His Majesty is just a Chinese person, and his surname is not very magnanimous, and there is another factor this time - yes, Your Majesty himself is at fault, he should not have walked at night with a sword and drunk wildly, but after all, he was wrongly framed by someone, and he has already covered his stomach, if your guilty edict is still harshly worded and swept him face, what do you think Your Majesty?" ”

Zhang Zixuan quietly gave Qin Lin a thumbs up, and also opened her mouth to persuade: "Father, now Your Majesty is only dissatisfied with your control, with a bit of a young man's sentimental struggle, it is not too late to take advantage of the situation, but if he is still severely reprimanded after he has been wronged and framed, I am afraid that he hates the house and Wu, but changes his attitude towards the new deal......"

Zhang Juzheng suddenly realized that this emperor was completely persuaded by Qin Lin and his daughter, shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked back to the study.

You Qi stood next to him with a wooden box, and he had already heard it like a drum, but he didn't know what to do.

"You Qi, why don't you bring in the edict drafted by the old man?" Zhang Juzheng lifted the pen: "The old man wants to revise the words and sentences, You Qi, quickly sharpen the ink!" ”

Victory! Qin Lin and Zhang Zixuan stretched out their hands, and their four palms struck each other in the air.
