The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

The so-called "every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite", this sentence is really simple, but it is correct.

To be honest, Zhang Fan used to watch those bloody historical dramas, and he would always see this kind of scene. After a man succeeds in his career, his family naturally has three wives and four concubines. He is like a winner in life. Appearance, of course, for the twists and turns of the story, there will always be some disharmonious factors, the most typical one is the so-called fire in the backyard, like the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not compatible, and the wives and concubines fight for favor. It's over, or something is wrong between husband and wife.

Zhang Fan remembers watching this kind of stuff when he was a child, especially when he was very young, but when he grew up, even though the TV station was still broadcasting this kind of stuff, Zhang Fan never watched it again. Even if I saw it occasionally, I immediately changed the channel and despised it in my heart.

But Zhang Fan never thought that such a bloody thing that he thought would appear in his life. Even now, these things have not become a fact, they are just passed on by the maids. That's all, but it's not entirely groundless for the maids to gossip. At least, according to what Zhang Fan heard, Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er are indeed relatively depressed these days.

Yingyue talked to Ru Xue and Luo Linger for this matter, even though Zhang Fan didn't agree with her, she still talked to Ru Xue and Luo Linger. After that, it seems that the news is still spreading among the maids, but the situation is much better than before up.

However, this kind of life didn't last long. Zhang Fan's wound healed very quickly. After the scar fell off, some faint traces could only be seen by careful inspection. But this was no problem for Zhang Fan. Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er would not discover the details, plus Zhang Fan's complexion is still normal now, and his body is very strong, it doesn't look like he was seriously injured half a month ago that almost cost him his life.

As a result, everything in Zhang's residence returned to the way it was before.

It was April, and since Zhang Fan had recovered, Zhang Fan had started to act like usual again. Zhang Fan was about to get up from the arms of the beauty and go to the court before the sky was bright. Suffering, but Zhang Fan has already adapted to this kind of life.

In the early court without an emperor, listening to the ministers in the court arguing more fiercely because there was no restraint, especially Gao Gong, Zhang Fan found the current court interesting, but also felt a little sad, after all, such a huge empire , but there is such an emperor who cares about state affairs, but is extremely romantic; there is also such a group of ministers who only know how to eliminate dissidents and strive for their own interests.

But apart from feeling sad, Zhang Fan also had to be amazed by the system of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhang Fan didn't know what the original history was like, he is now in the vortex of power. It is right to have an understanding of both present and past forms.

However, after listening to many people's narrations, Zhang Fan found that the absurd appearance in front of him was not due to his good luck, but it seemed that almost every dynasty in the Ming Dynasty would encounter this situation. The attention is focused on handling the country's political affairs, but on other things. For the ministers, the main purpose of being an official is not to express their ambitions, for the country and the people, but mostly for themselves Interests, for the guarantee of one's position in the officialdom, for the consolidation of one's own rights, and it will become even greater in the future, in short, they are not putting national affairs first.

Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, since the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Tartars who were driven back to the northern grasslands have not stopped attacking Ming Dynasty for a moment, and these are only external factors. In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, rebellions or Uprisings and rebellions happen almost every year.

From this point of view, the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty should have been in a precarious situation, and it may collapse at any time.

However, this is not the case. In fact, the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the two famous kings Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, would be more prosperous during the reign of the two famous kings. During the reign of Emperor Jiajing, a very controversial emperor, there were no major disasters among the people. There were indeed many natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty, but the scene of hunger and death in the early years of Qianlong was really true Never had.

This is where Zhang Fan is most surprised. Why is such an empire, where the emperor and ministers don't want to put national affairs first, still running smoothly according to certain laws.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan gave himself a more plausible explanation, which was the unique political system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister, and this was the case during the Zhu Yuanzhang period. In this way, the possibility of power being concentrated on one person was eliminated. Until Ming Chengzu Zhu Di became emperor, he created a cabinet, and the power of the cabinet was extremely huge , Even regarding the imperial decree of the emperor, if the cabinet thinks it is not possible, that imperial decree is not counted.

Although the cabinet has a lot of power, and the position of the chief minister of the cabinet is definitely comparable to that of the prime minister, there is one thing worth noting. The cabinet does not only have one chief minister, but also a second minister of the cabinet, and four ministers. The cabinet ministers are there, but the cabinet does not belong to a certain person, so the resolutions of the cabinet must be passed by all the ministers in order to be counted.

And below, in addition to the six departments, there are six departments, which are specially designed to monitor whether there is any problem with the officials of the six departments.

There are also censors, these people are obsessed with all the ministers in the court, making it difficult for people to do whatever they want.

Under such a series of measures, even if the emperor didn't bother to ask about the government, things would be handled naturally, and there would be fewer mistakes.

Anyway, that's it.

Then, Zhang Fan, who finished court, had to go to the East Palace to teach Zhu Yijun. During this period of time, Zhu Yijun always gave Zhang Fan the feeling of being in hell and suffering, and the reason was naturally Feng Bao.

Zhu Yijun complained about this for a long time, and planned to talk to Long Qing, but every time he saw Long Qing, Zhu Yijun didn't know why, so he couldn't say these words, and his mother Li Guifei, Zhu Yijun would never dare Those who go to complain to her, Li Guifei's strict discipline of Zhu Yijun is obvious to all. Everyone inside and outside the palace understands that if Zhu Yijun dares to come to her and say that he doesn't like Feng Bao, the reason is because Feng Bao stares at him. It was too tight, and if he didn't even have time to play, Concubine Li Gui would do something to make Zhu Yijun even more uncomfortable.

Zhu Yijun, who was already having a hard time, didn't want to make things more troublesome.

Zhu Yijun called Feng Bao his "big companion". This is the expression of his fear of Feng Bao. Feng Bao always tells him what can be done and what can't be done. If Zhu Yijun is right, naturally there will be no words of praise. Feng Bao's praise is not rare.

But if Zhu Yijun did something wrong, the fun would be great. Feng Bao would scold Zhu Yijun first, and then no matter whether Zhu Yijun obeyed the discipline, or whether he was willing to correct it, Feng Bao would go to Concubine Li and say it again, and then, it was very simple Yes, Zhu Yijun is often called away by his mother and concubine during this time, and then he is punished.

Regarding this, Zhu Yijun has no other person to confide in except Zhang Fan. From Zhu Yijun's words, Zhang Fan can clearly hear Zhu Yijun's fear of Feng Bao. Po's resentment is steadily increasing.

However, Zhang Fan has no objection to this. On the contrary, as the person in charge of teaching the prince, he is no longer as serious as before, but has become "kind". Of course, this "kindness" is what Zhu Yijun thinks .

Zhang Fan would always tell Zhu Yijun some funny things, even when he was teaching, he would use some interesting ways, such as telling stories to teach Zhu Yijun.

Comparing these two completely different situations, there is no reason for Zhu Yijun to disagree with Zhang Fan. In the eyes of Zhu Yijun today, Zhang Fan is not only his tutor, but also the person he can trust the most, and also the person who cares about him the most. Moreover, Zhu Yijun often heard about Zhang Fan's loyalty to Long Qing from his father Long Qing.

This made Zhu Yijun, who was already very dependent on Zhang Fan, secretly make a decision in his heart. If he could sit on the throne one day, he would definitely use Zhang Fan again. His grand tutor, his subject, was simply a gift from heaven, he had to use Zhang Fan more than his father, so that would work.

So, that's it, Zhang Fan's bright future has already been determined without him knowing about it, and the relationship between him and Zhu Yijun is quite good.

Zhang Fan's ability to win Longqing's favor is more or less due to coincidence. It can be said that Zhang Fan can achieve such an achievement now, which can be regarded as a good opportunity for him. Yes, he has to catch it himself.

However, the relationship between Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun is different. Because of Emperor Longqing’s father, Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Yijun’s birth was once unknown to the public. Although many people knew about it, after Longqing ascended the throne, he was named The prince's Zhu Yijun seemed to pop out of nowhere.

As for Zhang Fan, after Zhu Yijun became the prince, other than his relatives, he really felt worthy of his trust. Although the two were quite different in age, Zhu Yijun cherished this relationship very much.
