The matter is almost over.

Emperor Tianqi suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhang Jingyi, and asked seriously: "Zhang Qing, how is your brother Deng Jian's current situation? Is there any news?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't heard from him for a long time."

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi showed a look of regret, "That's it, okay, it's okay. I just suddenly thought of the new policy, and I couldn't help but think of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei, and the Qianhu Office in Xinxian County. Then I remembered that Deng Jian, who has no news, would be like this."

Zhang Jingyi and others said goodbye.

Come out of the Hall of Qinzheng.

Zhang Jingyi was about to leave the palace, but was stopped.

"Duke of Liao."

Zhang Jing stopped and looked back and found that it was Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong smiled, he hurried forward, then walked side by side with Zhang Jing, and said with a smile: "Let's go?"

Zhang Jing said in his heart, you have called me, how can I not leave?

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Mr. Sun, please."

"No need to be so polite." Sun Chengzong said: "I just want to talk to you."

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Then... let's talk."

Sun Chengzong said, "Just just now, I saw my ministers proposing Hong Chengchou, and the Duke of Liao seemed to look bad."

Zhang Jing smiled: "Haha, is that?"

Zhang Jingyi passed by perfunctorily.

Sun Chengzong looked at him seriously and then said, "In fact, it is normal for all officials to elect ministers. This is also a rule that has always been used to recommend wise people..."

"Are the recommended person really a wise person?" Zhang Jingyi retorted: "It's better to say that people are in the interests of all parties."

There was a bit of ridicule in his tone.

Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "You can also say that, but I have two problems. First, why don't you like Hong Chengchou? As far as I know, Hong Chengchou is really doing well in Guanzhong. This is a rare talent. Is it really because the public and selfish desires of the Liao Kingdom?"

In fact, although Sun Chengzong asked this, Sun Chengzong felt that it was impossible to be as simple as selfish. If this were the case, he would not come to ask.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't answer, so he couldn't say that I knew he would be a traitor, right?

As the saying goes, Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is not yet usurping the times. Zhang Jingyi has no way to deny a person with something that doesn't happen at all.

Zhang Jing was silent and refused to answer.

Seeing that he did not answer, Sun Chengzong smiled again: "It seems that the Duke of Liao does not recognize his ability."

"Yes." Zhang Jingyi simply nodded and agreed.

Sun Chengzong said: "It is understandable that the Duke of Liao is capable and has high vision." After a pause, he continued: "The second question has made me puzzled. I also asked the Duke of Liao to give me advice."

Zhang Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a faint expression: "But it's okay to ask."

Sun Chengzong walked slowly with his hands behind his back, shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Jing. His attitude was very calm. Sun Chengzong was a stranger. Although he was a minister of the cabinet and an imperial teacher, he seemed not to take fame and fortune too seriously. As the saying goes, he is strong without desire. Instead, he thinks and acts very calmly.

Sun Chengzong said: "But when Duke Liao opposed Hong Chengchou, he did not use all his strength, but just used a very perfunctory reason at will."

As he said that, Sun Chengzong looked at Zhang Jingyi, and he wanted to find the answer from Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi's ability and influence on His Majesty are definitely not just that, this is obvious.

If the Duke of Liao was determined to oppose this matter and did his best, then Hong Chengchou would never have the chance to enter Beijing.

It is rumored outside... Zhang Jingyi is five thousand years old.

Although 5,000 is less than 9,000, Sun Chengzong knew very well that it was impossible with Zhang Jingyi's talent and His Majesty's trust in him.

Zhang Jing smiled, still pursing her lips and silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but ask seriously: "Why, the Duke of Liao is wary of me?"

Zhang Jing thought for a while: "It's not a question of being wary, but I'm thinking, if I oppose this matter, then, what about the public council in the world?"

"Public Discussion?" Sun Chengzong laughed: "When will the Duke of Liao care about public Discussion?"

Zhang Jingyi said solemnly: "Of course I care about it, but the public opinion I care about is different from the ordinary people. The so-called public opinion is the heart of the people. This is not the heart of a small group of people, but the heart of the people of the world. Before the new policy began, people's hearts were controlled by someone. Mr. Sun knew better than me. Why has the new policy been pushed to the present? Isn't it because someone held this heart and has been poisoned to this day?"

After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he paused, and then he looked at Sun Chengzong beside him and said word by word: "But I cannot reverse the public opinion. To put it bluntly, these public opinion, these theories, and these ideas that are propagated to the general public. In essence, countless great scholars and Buddhists have been talking about for hundreds or thousands of years. They have been constantly making up for logical shortcomings and constantly strengthening the correctness of their set of things."

"So, let alone me, Zhang Jingyi, even ten thousand, and ten thousand Zhang Jingyi, I can't change this deep-rooted idea. If I oppose Hong Chengchou this time, then the people in the world will definitely beat their chests and fall. Countless scholars, countless gentry, and hundreds of officials in the court will definitely put the responsibility on me. In the end, everyone will say that I, Zhang Jingyi, excluded Hong Chengchou in order to seize the military power, and said that I had selfish intentions and said that if Hong Chengchou could enter the martial arts lecture hall in the capital and train a new army, he would definitely be invincible in the world. Sun Gong, do you think... will this happen?"

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he nodded subconsciously.

Zhang Jing smiled: "Now everyone's opinion is that the new policy does look better than before, but what's the good thing about it? How to implement the new policy, everyone has their own opinions. At least the nobles in the court have their own ideas. They think that as long as a martial arts lecture hall is built, there is a Shenji camp, a continuous supply of food and salary from the court, and a Jinshi like Hong Chengchou who has made military achievements can easily and implement the new policy."

"The reforms and new policies in history are all made up of bloodshed. But what the princes are thinking about is to easily implement the so-called new policies, and they are delusional to implement the so-called new policies without any damage to the interests of anyone. Isn't this ridiculous? Without fundamental changes, in my opinion, the so-called new policies implemented by these people, following the military academy, are actually just jokes, but although I know that they are destined to fail, I know that such trouble is just to add a joke to the future of the ages, but I also know that I cannot object, and I don't object, it's not that I dare not, but that I don't dare.

I don't think about it, don't fall into trouble, don't let these people hit their heads and make them bloody, don't let the people in the world see how ridiculous the things the princes are doing, so... how can anyone be willing to support the real new policy? So, whether it is building a martial arts hall or rebuilding the Shenji Camp, what kind of Hong Chengchou is sacrificed, in my opinion, may not be a bad thing. The traditions rooted in the hearts of the world the year before, as well as the use of civil and military governance and eight-legged essays to win the scholars... I looked at these things, how to gather sand to form towers, how can they build tall buildings, and how their buildings collapsed."

Sun Chengzong was shocked when he heard this, and he was shocked by the storm. It turned out that Zhang Jingyi was a guy who was playing tricks on his way.

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but say, "I think it won't be like this... Oops. I think there are many measures in the new policy charter... quite reasonable."

Zhang Jingyi said, "What is raised in the charter is just a superficial problem. The Shenshu Camp became the Shenji Camp, Zhu Wu became Hong Chengchou, and the military academy became the martial arts lecture hall. Is it really okay? If it was so easy, why did my Ming Dynasty reach this point today? Therefore, if Mr. Sun said that I opposed your plan, it would be wrong. In fact, I am happy to see it. If you really can rely on this, you can create a strong army and solve the internal and external troubles of the world. Of course, in my opinion, the so-called court proposal and court promotion finally came to the new policy is essentially a group of people who desperately want to not touch their own benefits, and desperately add things that are good for themselves. What will the final result be like?"

Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "So I dare to assert that these people under the banner of the new policy will not only fail to implement the new policy, but will harm the country. But I don't care, because on that day, people will naturally see the true faces of the nobles, and let people know that the eight-legged essays are all a group of fools. The so-called governance of military affairs is just a joke, and the so-called new army filled with gentry who are greedy and know that the annexed land is just a group of wine bags."

Zhang Jingyi's words made Sun Chengzong frightened.

What a guy... he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

Sun Chengzong said: "Hey... I really don't want to get to this point, but... maybe, you are right. Just..."

Zhang Jing looked at him with confusion on her face, "Just what?"

Sun Chengzong sighed deeply in his heart and said, "I still have luck."

Sun Chengzong seemed very frustrated, and he seemed to have begun to slowly see through this situation. The Ming Dynasty had reached a point where it was necessary. Now everyone has seen that Zhang Jingyi had a method, but the ministers in the court also had a method. Of course, everyone would tend to the most painless and convenient way.

Isn't this the same thing with Sun Chengzong? He was born into a gentry family and passed the Jinshi. Although he became more and more aware that the problems were difficult to recover, he felt that Zhang Jingyi was right, but in fact?

He faintly hoped that the officials in the court could succeed because... he really couldn't bear to see the consequences of failure.
