The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Jun'er. You're back. Did you find anything interesting on the street today?" Zhang Fan asked Zhu Yijun who just came back.

"Teacher, what interesting things are there now?" Zhu Yijun seemed to be a little sullen. "A few days ago, the teacher brought Liu Shan to justice. So many days have passed. The streets of Yangzhou City are still talking about it. No matter where I go, I can hear it. .

"This... I'm not saying that what the teacher did is wrong. I just think that the people in Yangzhou City are a little too fussy. It's just that a corrupt official died. Is there a need to care so much? They take this matter all day Talk about it. It's too disturbing."

Zhang Fan could only smile at Zhu Yijun's words.Did not say anything.After all, this is a level of difference.In the eyes of Zhu Yijun, the current prince.No matter how many people Liu Shan pulled into the water, he accompanied him to corrupt the law.Or how much money he was greedy for.It doesn't matter.In Zhu Yijun's eyes.He is nothing more than a corrupt eunuch.Compared with those corrupt officials who Zhu Yijun had seen before.What is different about Liu Shan is that the amount of money he got is relatively large.In Zhu Yijun's view, there is no difference in the others.If it comes to the degree of harm.Liu Shan was not as great as the chaos created by Liu Jin during the Zhengde period, or Yan Song during the Jiajing period.Knowing this, Zhu Yijun naturally scoffed at it.

"Don't blame Jun'er." Zhang Fan said with a smile. "Although this Yangzhou city has been a prosperous place since ancient times, it is far away from the capital after all. The people here may have heard in operas or storytellers how those corrupt officials domineering and domineering. In the end they were The imperial court suppressed it. But Liu Shan’s incident happened around them after all. They are just ordinary people. Their daily life is also very simple and simple. Naturally, it is not easy to let go of this kind of thing.”

Zhu Yijun heard Zhang Fan's words.But it stopped suddenly.After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Thank you for your teaching, teacher."

"Teach me. Did I teach you anything just now?" Zhang Fan looked at Zhu Yijun somewhat incomprehensibly.asked with a puzzled face.

"Is the teacher testing me?" Zhu Yijun thought of something else.He spoke quite confidently. "What the teacher said just now seems to be just saying that the common people have nothing to ask for. They will talk about it for a long time when they encounter new things. In fact, the teacher wants to tell me. The lives of ordinary people are very simple. What they are looking for is not some kind of glory and wealth. It is just three meals a day. A room for them to rest every night. Of course, if they want to make their lives better. Whether it is studying, being an official, It is better to run a business, or just work harder on weekdays. Then it depends on their own efforts. In this way, the people will be satisfied. Naturally, they will not want to do any rebellion. Back then, Emperor Taizu raised troops to overthrow the tyranny of Yuanmeng. Although he relied on the civilians who defected to Taizu's banner, it was fundamentally caused by Yuanmeng's brutality and inhumanity.

"What the teacher wants to teach Jun'er is that a person who is a king wants the world to be stable and prosperous. The most fundamental thing is not to have any ambitions. It is to make the world stable and let the people live. As long as this is the case. Those little people Even if the generation wants to raise the banner of rebellion, no one will respond. In the end, it is nothing but self-destruction."

Zhang Fan just listened to Zhu Yijun's words quietly.Until he finished speaking.Zhang Fan didn't even speak.to be honest.Zhang Fan felt a little ashamed inside.What he said just now.It was really just what he said in his heart.There is no deeper meaning.But Zhu Yijun thought so far and so deeply.This was absolutely unexpected by Zhang Fan.

This really made him feel that Zhu Yijun was too smart.And definitely not that kind of cleverness.Be really smart.He definitely has the potential to become a generation of Mingjun.He even started to think about it.Is it not suitable for me to continue teaching Zhu Yijun?

This is because Zhang Fan himself is a little underestimated.first.Although he has read countless books of sages.All the knowledge in the mind is very much.But after all, storage and utilization are two different things.Zhang Fan is still young after all.Haven't achieved that kind of integration yet.

Second.That lies in the object of his teaching.Although Zhu Yijun is not yet ten years old.But after all, there is royal blood flowing in his body.He became crown prince almost at the time when he was about to start his education.In this way.The education he received from an early age was naturally different.Everything is prepared for him to become a qualified emperor.In this kind of childhood education.And under his daily influence.Although Zhu Yijun is still a child, he always thinks about how to be happy.But when he was looking at the problem.He will always subconsciously carry a responsibility that he will bear in the future.

Only now.Zhang Fan couldn't just tell Zhu Yijun that he didn't have any thoughts about what he said just now.But Zhang Fan is still a person with self-respect.I won't just claim credit with such a cheeky face.Zhang Fan had no choice but to keep a smile on his face.Looking at Zhu Yijun, he nodded.Looks like a child can be taught.Nothing was said.

"Oh. That's right. I don't know why the teacher came to Jun'er so late for something." Zhu Yijun occasionally looked out of the window to see the darkness.Only then did he realize that it was getting late now.There must be a reason why Zhang Fan came to him so late.

"Oh. That's right. I almost forgot the business." Zhang Fan also came back to his senses.I remembered what I was here for. "Jun'er. You know. This. The matter in Jiangnan is now over. Wait until a few days later. We will return to Beijing."

"Okay. Teacher." This time Zhu Yijun didn't have any resistance to returning to Beijing as before.Instead, he said it very bluntly.

Zhang Fan was not surprised by this.After all, Zhu Yijun has been out for so many days now.I have played everything I want to play.Now ask him to go back.There should be no problem.But Zhang Fan didn't feel relaxed.Because of his next request.Most likely Zhu Yijun would not agree.But Zhang Fan is not a reckless man.He also thought of a good strategy to deal with Zhu Yijun.

"It's just...Jun'er..." Zhang Fan said with some squeaks. "I want Jun'er to go back first."

"Why is that?" Sure enough.Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Fan's words.asked in bewilderment.

"There is a reason for this." Zhang Fan said. "My uncle's family is going to the capital too. And it will be on the road the day after tomorrow. I want you to go back with them, Jun'er. It will be good to have someone to take care of when we go together."

"But teacher. Why don't you ask the teacher's uncle's family to go back to Beijing with the teacher." Zhu Yijun asked.

"Is this it? I am helpless." Zhang Fan pretended to be helpless.Said. "This time, my uncle's family is all going to the capital. I originally planned to let them go back with me. But I went back by boat. After all, I have to bring so much money this time. I also have to guard the boat .But there are some members of my uncle's family who really can't get on the boat. Very sick."

"So that's what happened." Zhu Yijun suddenly realized.Said. "It's just for this reason. Why did the teacher insist that I accompany them on the road. I came by land. I have never been on this boat. I just want to sit on it."

really.met with resistance.But Zhang Fan will not compromise on this matter.He also thought of an excuse for this situation a long time ago: "Actually, there are other reasons." Zhang Fan said here.He looked at Zhu Yijun with an unspeakable expression on his face.

"Teacher, please explain in detail." Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Fan like this.Want to know the reason even more.

"Oh. It's actually like this." A look of helplessness.Zhang Fan began to tell the reasons he had made up long ago. "A few days ago, I received a letter from Beijing. It was from the palace. Although the letter was not written by His Majesty, it was also dictated by His Majesty. You miss terribly. Haven't seen you for over a month after all. They wish you could go back sooner.

"Note. Although this is not His Majesty's oracle. But it is His Majesty's words after all. How can I disobey it. But if you come back to Beijing with me, Jun'er. The speed of those ships is really too slow. It is estimated that It will take half a month to get the capital. And now His Majesty's letter has arrived in my hands. I must do what His Majesty wants."

The reason why Zhang Fan said it was an ordinary letter from Long Qing.It's not that it's an imperial edict or something like that.In fact, this is just a means of self-protection for him.You must know that falsely preaching the emperor's imperial decree is a crime of deceiving the emperor.The whole family should be executed.Although only he and Zhu Yijun are talking about this matter now.And his purpose is also to protect Zhu Yijun.But there is no guarantee that this matter will leak out in the future.until then.If someone wants to participate in Zhang Fan's book, there will be a topic.After all, it doesn't matter whether it is an imperial decree or an oral order.It is recorded in the university.Even if Long Qing wanted to help him, he couldn't do it.But the letter that was said to be from Long Qing was different.First of all, this is also a deterrent to Zhu Yijun.Second, in the future, if someone wants to use this matter to make something happen.Long Qing or Zhu Yijun can definitely help Zhang Fan.Anyway, it is something that has not been verified.

"That's it." Zhu Yijun also had a helpless expression after hearing this.Apparently believed it. "That's the only way to go."

Hearing that Zhu Yijun agreed.Zhang Fan also felt relieved.Zhu Yijun was settled without telling the truth of the matter.It's a good thing.

next.It was Xu Jie's turn.
