Chapter 454 Really old, now is the world of young people

Before bringing Qin Hanqian back to Zhang's Grand Secretary's Mansion, Zhu Yiliu, as the matchmaker and guarantor, felt that he should have a message with Zhang Juzheng.

You know, the one Zhang Juzheng loved the most was Zhang Jingxiu, the youngest son. If he knew that his son was not an official prostitute, he would have any ideas.

Although he once comforted Zhang Jingxiu that his father was a person with broad vision, after all, from an ideal perspective, reality dare not make such a conclusion.

That night, Zhu Yili secretly went to the secret room again, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

After sitting slowly for a while, Zhang Juzheng, who was thinking clearly, saw it. He asked directly: "Prince Lu, do you have any worries?"

Zhu Yili said frankly: "Mr. Zhang, my thoughts are not enough, it's for Brother Jingxiu."

"For him? What's the matter?" Zhang Juzheng immediately sat upright, looking a little nervous.

Zhu Yiliu said: "In front of Mr. Zhang, I should have something to say. Brother Jingxiu is in love with a woman and wants to marry that woman."

"Oh, is that?" Zhang Juzheng immediately smiled, feeling a little overwhelmed with joy, and murmured, "Is Jingxiu going to get married? Is he going to get married?"

Zhu Yili nodded.

Zhang Juzheng said with some regret and shame: "It's a pity that I can't participate, but it's a pity that my father can't watch him get married!"

Zhu Yili suddenly asked: "Does Mr. Zhang care about the other party's identity and status?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Just like me if you like it."

"What if the other party was a brothel prostitute?"

“…”

Zhang Juzheng changed his face instantly, twitched twice, and then froze there and couldn't say a word.

They were silent for a while.

Zhu Yili asked again: "Mr. Zhang minds very much, right?"

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, with a serious expression, and sighed: "There are so many women in the world. Although we don't want to be a good match, we have to find at least one clean family, right? With the conditions of reciting, he can't find a wife, so why should he marry an official prostitute? What does this mean for the world to think of him? I don't care. The key is reciting. Under the world's eyes and pressure, I'm afraid that he will not be able to raise his head in the future!"

"Mr. Zhang, I've said these words to him."

"But he couldn't listen, right?" Zhang Juzheng's tone was mixed with a bit of anger.

Zhu Yiliu didn't talk to him.

Zhang Juzheng was a little excited: "Hey, he has been that kind of person since he was a child, and he was too paranoid. As long as he thought it was right, he would never let go."

"Mr. Zhang, this is his own choice..."

"His choice?" Zhang Juzheng directly stole it and refuted, "Has he considered the feelings of his relatives around him?"

"Mr. Zhang, in theory, whom he loves and whom he chooses to marry is his own business and has nothing to do with others."

This was also in front of Zhang Juzheng that Zhu Yiliu said this. If anyone else had been to him, he would not have said such a thing as transcendent to the times.

"..." Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Yiliu and said, "It turns out that Prince Lu also supports his decision!"

"I am his friend, and of course I support who he likes. This does not harm the interests of others or violates social morality. As long as he likes himself, why don't I support him?"

Zhang Juzheng let out a deep breath, feeling that he was full of wanting to say, but he didn't say anything, just sat still and looked at the ceiling with a dull look.

Zhu Yili continued to persuade: "Mr. Zhang, Brother Jingxiu is no longer a child. He knows what his choice means and knows how much pressure he needs to face in the future. He is willing to bear it. I think we can only send blessings, right?"

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time, suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Prince Lu brought him a word: As long as he doesn't regret it in the future."

Zhu Yili was stunned: "Brother Jingxiu doesn't know that Mr. Zhang is alive."

"In the tone of Prince Lu."

"Okay." Zhu Yili nodded, thinking that such words had been said long ago. With Zhang Jingxiu's personality, only Qin Hanqian was in his eyes, so how could he listen?

Zhang Juzheng turned his eyes to Zhu Yiliu again and sighed intently: "In this matter, Prince Lu really doesn't look like a teenage child."

Zhu Yili smiled slightly: "Can I think this is Mr. Zhang praising me?"

"It's not just praise? It's amazing, admiration, worship, and looking up. My thoughts have aging, and I feel better than to sigh!"

"Mr. Zhang is over the award!"

"No, no..." Zhang Juzheng's expression was quite complicated, "I am really old, I should be the world of you young people."

At this moment, from Zhang Juzheng's expression, Zhu Yili seemed to see that the once reckless prime minister was a little disappointed. He had to admit his fate and had to admit the fact that he was aging.

Zhu Yiliu was still afraid that Zhang Juzheng would be discouraged, so he immediately encouraged him: "Mr. Zhang, you are still young. The one who is in the same dynasty as you is also your two friends, one is Yang Bo and the other is Wang Guoguang. They both retired and returned to their hometowns only in their early seventies. If you use them as a reference, then Mr. Zhang can still serve the court for more than ten years."

Zhang Juzheng said with great emotion: "I feel so good now that I feel, I don't know if I have the opportunity to continue to serve the court!"

"Mr. Zhang, I believe there must be some. But there is a saying I have always wanted to say to Mr. Zhang, which is also a kind reminder."

"Prince Lu, please tell me, listen carefully."

"If my predictions come true, I hope Mr. Zhang will have the opportunity to make some adjustments to your reform plans appropriately to strive for excellence."

As soon as Zhu Yili said this, Zhang Juzheng's spirit suddenly became excited, and his excitement was still above the news that Zhang Jingxiu was going to marry. He stared at Zhu Yili and asked, "What Prince Lu means is, is there any problem with my previous reform plan?"

Zhu Yili thought tonight was a good opportunity, so he said bluntly: "There is no problem with the general direction, but some plans need to be partially adjusted."

“What about?”

"Actually, before leaving Beijing, I had made some attempts, such as the school's reform issues, the tax collection method of the One Whip Law..."

Zhu Yiliu stopped until he was worried that these questions would not be finished in three days and three nights, so he was determined not to give Zhang Juzheng the opportunity to ask questions, and then said, "Aren't Mr. Zhang writing a book? At that time, I will point out the areas that are to be discussed one by one and write annotations around Mr. Zhang's works."

"Okay! I'm eagerly looking forward to it! I really didn't expect that Prince Lu could be aware of everything and could guide reforms. I really admire him! I admire him!" Zhang Juzheng said sincerely.

Zhu Yiliu said with a modest attitude: "Mr. Zhang, there is no point in giving advice, but he just has some insights on certain issues."

"I really want to talk to Prince Lu on the night with candle!" It can be seen that Zhang Juzheng was eagerly looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yiliu was unintentional tonight. He came to tell Zhang Jingxiu something, so he said: "Mr. Zhang, I believe there will be opportunities in the future."

"Okay." Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but watch Zhu Yiliu get up and leave.

But he was a little expectant and a little dissatisfied, and murmured to himself: "I really have problems with my reform plan? Prince Lu is only a teenager! Didn't he really give me some advice?"

In his eyes, it seems that the issue of reform is much more important than Zhang Jingxiu's marriage to a wife.
