The atmosphere in the side hall where Zhu Yicheng works on weekdays is rare. On this day, Zhu Yicheng was not as busy as usual, but instead hosted a minister who had not seen for a long time in the side hall, and had tea and chatted with him like an old friend.

Shi Yizhi's people became dark and thin, but their complexion was a world of difference compared to before. Now Shi Yizhi looks energetic, not like the frustration and decadence he had when he left the Military Affairs Office sadly.

Shi Yizhi left the Military Affairs Office because of helplessness, but at the same time he had his own reasons. Due to his mistakes in judgment and his different understandings of the direction of the Ming Dynasty's policy, Zhu Yicheng was extremely disappointed with him. After considering it repeatedly, he replaced the Chief Military Affairs Minister. As the Chief Military Affairs Office, Shi Yizhi not only left the seat sadly, but later left the capital in the name of inspecting various provinces on behalf of the emperor.

It can be said that Shi Yizhi, who left the capital sadly many years ago, was a complete loser. As the chief military minister, he left in this indecent way, he was the first since the Ming Dynasty restored the country.

On the day he left the capital, Shi Yizhi looked back at the capital with an extremely complicated mood and unwillingness. At that time, he didn't even expect that he would have one day to come back, because in his opinion, the so-called inspection of the provinces on behalf of the emperor was just a step for Zhu Yi to comfort him. From the moment he withdrew from the Military Affairs Office, Shi Yizhi knew very well that his political career had come to an end.

But more than two years have passed in a flash, and no one expected that Shi Yizhi would come back. Compared to when he left, Shi Yizhi now seemed to have changed his own person, and became a little different.

In the past two years, Shi Yizhi has traveled almost all the provinces of the Ming Dynasty. He has been to the north, entered the south of the Yangtze River, and also to Lingnan, and went deeper into the heart of the Central Plains. He has stayed in the southwest and northwest for many days.

Before, Shi Yizhi was a literati who read poetry and books. He had good abilities for many of the world on paper. He did not have much depth at the grassroots level. Therefore, in terms of politics, Shi Yizhi was more idealistic and lacked reality.

The experiences of the past two years have made Shi Yizhi feel sober. He saw many things that he had never noticed when he was so tall in the temple. In the past two years, Shi Yizhi's mentality has gradually begun to change. He gradually came out of his initial grievances, confusion and frustration, and began to slowly face his mistakes and combine them with reality, thus gaining a lot of insights.

Two months ago, Shi Yi, who was in Guizhou, went directly to Zhu Yicheng's will to ask him to return to Beijing, and Shi Yizhi embarked on the road to return to Beijing.

I haven't returned to the capital for so many days. When Shi Yizhi came back again, he looked at the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar capital in front of me, and naturally felt a lot of feelings in my heart.

Just after arriving in the capital, Zhu Yicheng summoned him to the palace the next day, so today Shi Yizhi was able to sit in the side hall and talk to Zhu Yicheng.

Zhu Yicheng was once the chief military minister who was the first to be a member of the old friend and asked him about his experiences and experiences over the past two years.

In this regard, Shi Yizhi reported to Zhu Yicheng in detail about his inspections over the past two years. At first, Zhu Yicheng just wanted to listen, but with Shi Yizhi's narration, Zhu Yicheng found that Shi Yizhi had indeed gained a lot in the local area. Not only did he do the work of the emperor inspecting various provinces, but he also had a detailed understanding and judgment on the customs and customs of various places, governance situations, etc.

"The emperor, I have been very eye-opening in the past two years. If it weren't for the emperor's original arrangement, I might not have realized the mistakes of that year. It is said that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. Only when I am today can I truly understand the truth of this." Shi Yizhi said sincerely.

"Thank you for your hard work. I wonder if you have recorded the situation in various places over the past two years?" Zhu Yicheng nodded and asked with a smile.

Shi Yizhi bowed and said, "This is naturally there. I am still thinking about waiting for time to sort out these things well, and if you have the chance, you can book them out."

"This is a good thing!" Zhu Yicheng praised: "Your book is indeed to be published. After it is published, I will not only read it, but also let everyone in the court take a good look to understand your experience over the years."

"I am ashamed..."

"No need to do this, this is wealth!" Zhu Yicheng corrected with a smile: "I have been relieved to see you like this today. You have done a good job!"

Shi Yi stood up and saluted Zhu Yicheng solemnly to express his gratitude.

Indeed, if it weren't for Zhu Yicheng's arrangement, Shi Yizhi might have been so depressed and fell into decline. It was precisely because of this journey that Shi Yizhi gradually woke up from his frustration, faced reality, and finally found a new direction again.

"What are your plans afterwards?" Zhu Yicheng didn't stop him, and received Shi Yizhi's gift with a smile, and asked after he stood up.

"This... I haven't thought about it yet. I may continue to go west to see it, or I may go overseas. In a few years, I may return to my hometown, live in the countryside, plant a few acres of land, and then calm down and study the knowledge."

Shi Yizhi was a little hesitant in the face of this question because he did not think about it, so he was unable to give Zhu Yicheng an accurate answer for a while.

"You want to retire and return home?" Zhu Yicheng asked with a smile, and then shook his head without waiting for Shi Yizhi to answer: "You are less than fifty years old and it is the time to be young and strong. It is too early to retire and live a pastoral life like this."

"The Emperor..." Shi Yizhi spoke up and was about to explain, but Zhu Yicheng waved his hand.

"It is the fault of the king if you have a wise man in the hometown, let alone you are a capable minister. It is really inappropriate to return home like this." Zhu Yicheng said this first, then looked at Shi Yi and asked with a smile: "I plan to let you stay in the capital, are you willing?"

If Zhu Yicheng asked this two years ago, Shi Yizhi would definitely not have been willing. Although Shi Yizhi lost his position as a military opportunity at that time, he also had arrogance and persistence. At that time, he would never have been willing to do so.

But now Shi Yizhi is different. His persistence is still there, but this persistence is completely different from the original persistence.

Shi Yizhi was arrogant before, but now Shi Yizhi combined reality and looked at problems with different ideas and ideas.

"I am willing!" Shi Yizhi replied.

Zhu Yicheng's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at him. Such a minister was truly capable minister. Shi Yizhi was reborn from the fire and would definitely be famous in history in the future.

"You go to the Ministry of Justice and be the Minister of Justice, how about you?"

"I obey the order!" Although Shi Yizhi was a little surprised that Zhu Yicheng would ask him to be the Minister of Justice, he still responded without hesitation.

On the same day, Zhu Yicheng's intention to appoint Shi Yizhi as the Minister of Justice was officially issued. The former Minister of Justice was moved to the Right Censor of the Capital. When the news that Shi Yizhi was the Qiu official spread, everyone was extremely surprised because no one could have thought that Shi Yizhi, who was once the chief military minister, came back two years after leaving the court and sat directly in this position.
