The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Fan looked at Mao Zhengqing.nodded.agree.That's right.Now that Zhang Fan said it.I have checked the affairs of Mao Zhengqing's wife by the way.That being the case.It is not surprising that Zhang Fan would know.

But for Mao Zhengqing.Since Zhang Fan already knew about his wife.This is for him.It can be regarded as a relief.Although this kind of thing.It has already happened.But for Mao Zhengqing.He didn't want to mention it again.Now that Zhang Fan already knew about it.That is for Mao Zhengqing.Don't say it again.This is indeed a lot easier.

"I want to. If the official said so, I think the adults will think that the official is very useless." Mao Zhengqing lowered his head.Said slowly. "But what the lower official said is true. After one year of being a concubine, the lower official was forced out of the capital by members of the Yan family. He went to his hometown of Xuzhou and became a seventh-rank magistrate. And it is indeed as the adults said. It was from that time that the lower officials began to change their temperament.

"The lower officials have become timid and timid. Although they still don't want to do evil things. They don't want to harm the people because of it. They don't want to be greedy for money. But the lower officials gradually become afraid to ask questions. Even in the face of ordinary Common people. Lower officials are also cautious. After all. No one knows. A person who looks like a beggar will not have any connections behind him. If the lower officials offend someone. Wouldn't it be bad.

"And what your lord said just now is not wrong at all. The reason why the lower officials became like this. It is because the lower officials are afraid of losing their current positions. And these. The lower officials are all doing this for the sake of their wives."

"It's because of Madam." Zhang Fan frowned slightly.After all this kind of thing.Zhang Fan has heard it many times.Some officials were not originally the kind of treacherous and evil people.But because of many reasons at home.For example, marry a tigress and come home.Not only he himself is afraid of death.Even in officialdom.Also because of his wife's insatiable greed.And completely changed his temperament.

certainly.Just like Qi Jiguang.Although extremely fearful.But once something serious happens.That is, it will not give in at all.And be able to stick to your point of view.There are naturally such people.And it still holds the majority.

But that doesn't mean.There is that kind of fear of his wife.Even his own will has changed because of this.From the original clean official.But gradually corrupted into a treacherous person.

These words of Mao Zhengqing.Zhang Fan was the first to think of this possibility.And what Mao Zhengqing said.Can't help others to think that way.but.If it is for this reason.Zhang Fan's view of Mao Zhengqing was about to change again.Love your family.There is nothing wrong with doing this.one person.If a man doesn't even love his family.Then he too will accomplish nothing.But if it turns from loving to doting.And because of this, you have changed yourself.That would be different.If so.Zhang Fan's definition of whether Mao Zhengqing is a good official or not.Something is about to change.

but.Actually the idea.Inside Zhang Fan's head.Not yet formed.He was abandoned by Zhang Fan.Why.Because if Mao Zhengqing is defined according to this idea.Well there are a few places.I can't match it.

First point.If Mao Zhengqing is really like this.It was really because of his wife.It will become what it is today.Well what he did.It shouldn't be just the present.Mao Zhengqing just became weaker.But he hasn't changed.Don't be greedy for money, don't form parties for personal gain.It's just that I'm afraid of losing my job.

That's all.This assumption has been invalidated.Not to mention.Not only did Mao Zhengqing not do those outrageous things.On the contrary, even in this weakness.He also helped many people.

In this way.It has been fully explained.Although Mao Zhengqing said it was because of his wife.He will have this change today.But the change isn't for the worse.therefore.Zhang Fan denied the possibility that he originally thought.But in this way.Why did Mao Zhengqing make such a change for his wife?That's something to think about.

"Master Mao, there is one thing I can't figure out." Zhang Fan said suddenly. "The matter of Mr. Mao. No matter how I look at it, I don't think it is a bad thing. But Mr. Mao said it was because of respecting his wife. I really don't understand. After all, Mr. Mao made such a change for respecting his wife .What is the reason?"

"Speaking of it, I am really ashamed to be an official." Speaking of this matter.Mao Zhengqing began to feel a little reluctant to speak out.It seemed that there was indeed something that made him reluctant to say it.only.Things have now come to this point.There is no need to hide any more.Moreover, he had already told Zhang Fan the reason why he wanted to tell the story.So there is no need to hide it anymore. "Speaking of it. It's for my wife's sake. It's better to say that the reason why the lower officials do this is actually for the sake of the cheap wife."

Mao Zhengqing's words.It sounds like basically nothing has changed.But Zhang Fan heard something different from it.Because of the Zhou family.And it is for the Zhou family.These are indeed different words.And if so.What Zhang Fan felt.It's a little different from before.

"Master Zhang should know about her original family background." Mao Zhengqing continued. "She was born into a wealthy family. Someone in her ancestors was an official. Although she is not a high official in the court, her family background is really good. At the beginning, when Yan Song had not yet fallen, she was in Xuzhou. The Zhou family was really He is extremely prominent. Even if the Zhou family had someone who was an official in their ancestors, but now they are just rich households with some fields in the family. But whether it is the yamen, even the magistrate in the mansion, or even the governor who comes here occasionally. To the Zhou family All the people are respectful.

"So. Her father has been pampered since she was a child. But since she became a member of Yan's party, she has become arrogant. Xiaguan and Jiannei are childhood sweethearts. I have known each other since childhood. Xiaguan Although no one in the family has ever been an official. As far as money is concerned, it is not as much as her family. But it is also well-known in the Xuzhou government. After Yan's party, his eyes are higher than the top. He can't look down on officials anymore.

"However, although I was a little sad at the time, I didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, Yan Song was very powerful at that time, and there was no sign of defeat. Even if I was an official, I couldn't understand what Yan's party did. What I did. But I understand. If she can really marry a high-ranking official in Beijing, life will definitely be much better than following the official.

"At that time, Xiaguan just stopped thinking about it. Until he got used to being stubborn with people from Yan's party. He was taken out of the capital. He returned to his hometown in Xuzhou and became a seventh-rank county magistrate. At that time, Xiaguan I still feel unconvinced. I feel that although I was kicked out of the capital by members of Yan's party, I did nothing wrong. It's just that at that time I heard that Jiannei had been promised by his father to a high-ranking official in the capital. When I was dismissed as an official, I thought about it. Be a Hai Rui-like figure. Not for myself. But for the benefit of the people.

"Until the 41st year of Jiajing. It took only one year for Xiaguan to be the magistrate of the seventh grade. It was reported that Yan Song was appointed as an official in the middle of the court. The news of Yan's party collapsed one after another. Xiaguan felt very happy Yes. But after being happy, Xiaguan immediately remembered the matter of the Zhou family. After all, the Zhou family was able to do so. It was also because of Yan Song’s group. Now Yan Song’s people have collapsed. The situation of the Zhou family can be imagined And know.

"So. After the official heard the news, he returned to the Syrian state capital. He wanted to see what was going on there."

Mao Zhengqing said these words.It means getting more and more involved.Also getting louder.Obviously these things.He buried it deep in his heart.And now it's said.Let him fall into the memory.I completely forgot my previous worries.

And Zhang Fan.It is also between turning around occasionally.Looking out the window.Found Mao Zhengqing's wife, Yan Shi.Standing by the window.Obviously eavesdropping.

The Zhou family also saw Zhang Fan.But she has no intention of leaving.His face was a little rosy.Obviously she understands.This kind of thing is really a bit impolite.Especially for such an educated woman as her.Even more so.But even so.She still has no intention of leaving.

And Zhang Fan.Naturally, there was no intention to remind Mao Zhengqing.Actually.He was a little curious that Zhou would eavesdrop here.After all, Mao Zhengqing said these things.Zhou should know all about it.Now that we know everything.Then there's no need to eavesdrop.Not to mention being discovered knowingly.But still didn't want to leave.But the Zhou family is still there.Obviously there's something going on here.I am afraid that the couple has never said anything to each other.

Naturally, Zhang Fan would not disturb this kind of thing.

"The result. When the officials arrived in the city of Xuzhou, they found out. Things happened too fast." Mao Zhengqing sat here.Naturally, it was not found.And now he seems to have reached a crucial point.There was no time to look around at all.Even Zhang Fan.He just glanced at it from time to time.the rest of the time.They're all talking to themselves. "Because her father really did a lot of things. Although there are not too many things that are harmful to nature, there are a few. However, the most important thing is. The prefect of Zhao at the time in Xuzhou Prefecture. That can be regarded as being bullied by him Miserable. Therefore, Yan Song’s party had just fallen from power. The prefect of Zhao found some reasons. He spent some money. In addition, the people in the court at that time were really hard to track down Yan Song’s party. As a result, the Zhou family was immediately arrested. Confiscated the house. His father-in-law was sent to prison. He died in prison not long after. And Jiannei will be sent to the Jiaofang Division."
