The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Regarding how to do this matter, Zhu Yijun had no choice for a while, and the first person he could think of was actually only Zhang Fan. This matter, yes, Zhu Yijun was the first person. In time, I found Zhang Fan and wanted to ask him what I should do.

In the process of questioning Zhang Fan, Zhu Yijun did know one thing, no, in fact, in the court, when Zhang Fan helped him develop, he already knew that Zhang Fan actually supported Zhu Changluo as the crown prince , not Zhu Changxun's. Regarding this point, it cannot be said that Zhu Yijun has no disappointment in his heart. After all, Zhang Fan, as Zhu Yijun, has the best relationship with him and is also the person who can understand him best. He disagreed with him on the matter, which naturally made Zhu Yijun somewhat disagreeable, but the key issue is that Zhu Yijun now has to face the current situation. If there is no way to solve the current situation, everything else will be is of no use.

Therefore, compared to Zhang Fan's thoughts on this matter, at least Zhang Fan is not going to impose his thoughts on Zhu Yijun right now, so Zhu Yijun feels that this is irrelevant, the most important thing in front of him. Yes, how can we get things done right now.

However, although the words are said in this way, what should be done is honestly a big problem. Although Zhu Yijun also knows Zhang Fan's thoughts, Zhang Fan also makes it very clear. Since he has more than If there is only one son, then even if the oldest one is old enough to be established as a prince, there is no need to rush this matter, you can take it easy.

Obviously, Zhu Yijun, who heard Zhang Fan say this, was naturally happy. After all, Zhang Fan's words were also what he was happy to hear.

But the key problem is that the current matter is not that simple. Yes, what Zhang Fan said is not wrong at all. As the prince, but obviously the establishment of the prince is more or less conventional, so although there is no problem with what Zhang Fan said to him, and Zhu Yijun also wants to hear such things, and also Willing to do it this way.

However, this is only Zhu Yijun's own opinion on this matter, but you must know that this matter is definitely not what he wants to do. On this matter, the emperor has a lot of things that really matter. involuntarily.

Therefore, even if Zhang Fan has already told him the safest way to do this matter, and he is willing to do it, but this does not mean that he is willing to do it, this matter can really be done in this way. The cause of the incident was because of Wang Jiaping's performance, and other people in the court also performed with Wang Jiaping.

But now, Zhu Yijun just found an excuse to avoid this matter, but it is obvious that Wang Jiaping will never let it go until he gets an answer to this matter, and tomorrow, Zhu Yijun will go to court, After Wang Jiaping was in the main hall, it was obviously impossible for him not to mention this matter, and once Wang Jiaping mentioned it, it would be another troublesome matter for Zhu Yijun.

Of course, the reason Zhu Yijun used today is a little clearer, that is, the four words "haven't figured it out yet", can continue to be used tomorrow, not only tomorrow, but also the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, but obviously, The number of times this excuse can be used is not too many, it has only been a few days, and after a long time, if you want to continue to use this excuse, it will not make sense.

Even for Wang Jiaping and those people, once or twice, they really have nothing to do. Although it seems to them that there is no need to consider this matter at all, but since the emperor said to consider, then They have nothing to say, after all, this matter is very important, but after a long time, they will definitely be able to think of a way to respond to Zhu Yijun's reason, and by that time, Zhu Yijun will no longer be able to do what he is like today. easily escaped.

And when the time comes, Zhu Yijun will definitely still want to find another reason to escape this kind of trouble, but at that time, will he be able to find a reason so easily like today, to be honest, this kind of thing , In fact, anyone can say for sure, even Zhang Fan, there is no way to guarantee that he can find such a reason today, but next time he will be able to know such a reason so easily.

Therefore, this matter is obviously not an easy matter.

But for Zhu Yijun who thought of this point, he has no choice. After all, today, tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow, it is not easy to get by. Unexpectedly, time can't just stop like this, so although Zhu Yijun is worried about what to do, Zhu Yijun has no choice.

After Zhang Fan left the palace, he has been thinking about what to do about this matter. This matter is indeed troublesome. Although Zhang Fan has already thought about what to do about this matter, but To be honest, it was a very troublesome thing, after all, he also knew what Zhu Yijun was thinking, and the different thoughts between the two were the source of the trouble.

In what he said to Zhu Yijun just now, the most important thing for Zhang Fan is actually to express his position, and obviously, Zhu Yijun, who is being troubled by Wang Jiaping and the others, doesn't have much thought to care about Zhang Fan anymore. disagree with him.

But Zhu Yijun doesn't care about it, it doesn't mean that Zhang Fan won't think about this matter, Zhang Fan has been thinking about this matter since the incident happened last time.

As I said before, Zhang Fan is naturally clear about Zhu Yijun's views and thoughts on this matter.

Now Zhu Yijun plans to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince in the future, and the reason for this is entirely because of Zheng Guifei. After all, Zhu Yijun loves the Zheng family very much, that is to say, Zhu Yijun will plan to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince, and It's not because he dotes on Zhu Changxun, even Zhu Yijun dotes on Zhu Changxun himself, it's all because of Zheng Shi.

As for whether Zhu Changxun is suitable to be a prince, or even become an emperor in the future, Zhu Yijun has not considered this point.

What I want to say here is that it is not that Zhu Yijun is so irresponsible. He can confer the crown prince at will based on his own preferences. It is not pure, but there is nothing wrong with what he did. After all, no matter whether it is Zhu Changluo or Zhu Changxun, they are too young now, not to mention that both of them have just started studying, so, No one knows what will happen in the future, and there is no way to explain who is more suitable to be the emperor.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yijun's approach is not completely correct, it cannot be said that he did something wrong.

And Wang Jiaping's request is also not wrong. They are not ignorant of the affairs in the palace. They know that Wang Guifei and Zhu Changluo, the mother and son, did not live well in the palace, and Zhu Yijun only favors the Zheng family. , even her son Zhu Changxun is very doted on.

And even if the ministers don't read these, they still understand that it is uncertain which of these two people is more likely to be established as the prince, or even become the emperor in the future.

However, the ministers can't be so simple when they think about the problem. For them, some things are not so simple. Under such an uncertain situation, since Zhu Changluo, who is the eldest prince, is not young, then without adding any factors, it should be Zhu Changluo who was established as the prince.

And Wang Jiaping didn't mention this matter before, and it was more or less because he couldn't remember it, but now that he has remembered it now, he will naturally not keep silent, so it can be said that Wang Jiaping said this matter , then there is really no problem at all, it is completely correct.

Moreover, Wang Jiaping brought up this matter with an incomparably legitimate reason, that is, the establishment of a prince is the foundation of the country, not to mention that the current emperor has several princes, and the eldest prince has reached the right age, so , if the prince can be established as soon as possible, it will be a very good thing for the court and Jiangshan Sheji. At the very least, once this decision is made, it can greatly stabilize people's hearts.

The stability of people's hearts mentioned here is not just such a simple four words, it really contains too many reasons.

The matter of the crown prince, no matter in any dynasty, has always been a headache for courtiers and emperors, but because of the issue of the crown prince, it troubles the upper body, and loses his official position, or even loses his life. It's too many to count.

Therefore, before the crown prince is registered, there will be countless people competing for this issue, not only those who are princes themselves, but also concubines in the harem, ministers in the court, and countless people. People, they would really rush in because of this matter, and don't care if they can come out again.

And there are many problems involved in this. For the princes themselves, who can be the prince means that he can get the whole world in the future, sit on the dragon chair, and enjoy the supreme power , and the person who doesn't get it, even if he is a prince, I'm afraid it won't have a good ending. If the winner can care about the brotherhood, he can also treat him preferentially, but if he bears grudges, or the relationship between the two If there were any conflicts, then it would be hard to say, maybe it would lead to a fatal disaster, it's all uncertain.

And this is the same for the concubines in the harem. After all, they are all involved in this dispute as the mothers of the princes. Once they win, the mother will be the empress dowager , that is really the highest position that a woman can stand in this feudal society.

And once they fail, they will not be afraid of incurring a murderous disaster. After all, by that time, their identities will at least be the concubines of the former emperor, but even so, they will end up being thrown into limbo in the future , no one cared, and until the end, dying alone and without support, even without a decent funeral, this kind of thing is not what these people want to encounter.

However, these are considered good, not to mention, even if it is such a big matter, no matter whether it is the prince or the concubine in the palace, there are not many people who can participate in this matter, so even if it is Every time this happens, there must be a few victims in this regard, but the number is not too large.

And among this incident, the most people will be involved, and the ones who will suffer the most casualties are actually those ministers in the court.

Although it is said that the feudal monarchy, the establishment of a crown prince, the continuation of the royal family, and the continued control of the world are the affairs of the royal family, but since the royal family wants to rule the world, it needs ministers to speak, and since there are ministers to speak, then this kind of thing , It has changed from a private matter of the royal family to an official matter that needs to be discussed by ministers before it can be passed.

And in this, it is not just as simple as it is said on the surface, there are still many ways in it.

Some, such as the current Wang Jiaping, really consider this matter from the perspective of fairness. In his opinion, making Zhu Changluo the crown prince is a matter of course, so he just proposed it.

But at the same time, among the many people who knelt in front of Zhu Yijun with him today and asked for this matter together, there are actually very few people who have Wang Jiaping's thoughts. There are, but not many. .

And more people actually regard this matter as an investment, a gamble.

Nowadays, everyone in the court knows about the affairs in the palace, and in this matter, everyone knows that Zhu Yijun doesn't like Zhu Changluo, but only favors the Zheng family and his son Zhu Changxun, that is to say, Zhu Changluo is now in the palace. The situation in China is really very bad.

This news shows that Zhu Changluo now has very few bargaining chips, and the possibility of being recognized by Zhu Yijun and becoming the prince is very, very low. However, this incident also illustrates a problem, that is, Zhu Changluo is currently at a low ebb In this way, if the people who can help him succeed in the future, then it is absolutely impossible for him to forget the help of these people. Therefore, in the future, Zhu Changluo will help him with those people He will never forget the person who finally made him ascend the throne.

And for those people in the court, Zhu Changluo is now in this period, so if he can help him, it is obviously absolutely impossible for him to refuse, that is to say, the actual amount they need to invest in this matter There are very few public affairs, at most it is to say a few words in the court and put on a show, and it does not require too much effort.

Think about it, you only need a very small investment, and you may get a huge return in the future. So many people can kneel in the hall with Wang Jiaping today. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, there must be a large number of people. I'm not afraid that doing so will cause any big trouble. In short, with these people's minds, it is obvious that no matter what it is, they can play tricks on them.

Regarding this, in fact, Wang Jiaping himself does not know how many of those people behind him today are for the purpose of stabilizing the government, and how many want to place a bet, but Wang Jiaping did not say, He even thought it would be nice to have these people. The reason is because Wang Jiaping understands that although this matter complies with the rules, it is indeed very difficult to succeed. What kind of purpose, but as long as he can help, that's good.

And in the same way, Zhu Changluo has someone to help, so Zhu Changxun's side is naturally indispensable, and those helpers over there are a little different, they are all under the pressure of Zheng's group , who have surrendered, there is nothing they can do.

In short, the forces on these two sides can be said to be evenly matched, and it is precisely because of this that if this matter continues, it is really unknown when it will be possible to distinguish between high and low, so that Zhu Yijun will be able to decide whether he wants to or not. It doesn't matter if you don't want to, but let him set up a prince.

The reason why Wang Jiaping brought up this matter so early is precisely because he had already anticipated the possibility of this matter, and he also knew that if this matter continues like this, the court will not know whether it will be resolved or not. There will be no peace for a long time. In this way, all the people in the court are arguing about this matter, and the government will neglect its management. Once the government is neglected, the people below will start to find ways to take advantage of loopholes.

Therefore, Wang Jiaping will bring this matter up at this time. Since the matter has already been established, and he has seen that this matter will be delayed for a very long time, and it will cause a lot of damage to the entire court. Therefore, it is better to bring it up earlier. Even if it is brought up now, Wang Jiaping knows that it is impossible for this matter to have a result immediately, but after all, the earlier it starts, the earlier it can end.

And as long as this matter can be ended earlier, the people below will not have too much thought to spend on this matter. In this way, the court can also stabilize earlier, so that everyone will no longer worry about it. There are more careful thoughts.

Wang Jiaping's idea is certainly correct, but whether his idea can go well or not, now it seems that it is really impossible,
