The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Teacher, you are serious." After hearing what Zhang Fan said to himself, Zhu Yijun stared at Zhang Fan with wide eyes in disbelief. Concubine, she really agreed, "

Zhang Fan smiled and nodded his head to express his affirmation, and said: "The empress called Weichen over, and brought His Highness there together."

"...that's great," Zhu Yijun was so excited that he couldn't use any stronger words to express his feelings. It took him half a day to just say this sentence, and the way he danced, it was obvious that Zhu Yijun was very excited now.

Zhang Fan just looked at him with a smile, and didn't care that Zhu Yijun couldn't say any beautiful words to thank him at the moment, or made such an action that didn't fit the style of a crown prince at all.

To be honest, Zhang Fan actually felt guilty towards Zhu Yijun in his heart. Longqing was going to die in the near future, but Zhu Yijun didn't know about it at all, and he even thought about seeing his father. I feel extremely happy.

Zhang Fan really didn't know, and didn't want to know, what would Zhu Yijun look like if he found out the truth of the matter in the future, he would throw a tantrum, or show a painful look.

Although it has nothing to do with Zhang Fan whether Zhu Yijun knows about it in the future, or how he knows about it, Zhang Fan still can't help but think that maybe one day in the future, When Zhu Yijun, who had already sat on the throne, mentioned this matter to him, Zhang Fan would still recall the current scene.

"Thank you teacher," Zhu Yijun, who was extremely excited now, still did not forget to thank Zhang Fan.

"No, Your Highness, don't do that," Zhang Fan, who already felt guilty, saw Zhu Yijun thanking him, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, "I just went to talk to the imperial concubine, and the main thing is that the imperial concubine agreed. Besides, His Highness can go to see His Majesty now, but in fact, I didn’t do much to do anything about it, it was the imperial concubine who brought it up first, "

"It was brought up by the concubine mother," Zhu Yijun said in disbelief of Zhang Fan's words.

"That's true," Zhang Fan nodded again, and said, "How dare a humble official speak out about this matter? It was indeed proposed by the imperial concubine herself. Therefore, when your highness is gone, you must thank the empress properly."

"This palace understands," Zhu Yijun's expression became serious at this time, and he said solemnly, "Of course I want to thank my concubine mother."

"Since that's the case, Your Highness should go with Weichen now," Zhang Fan said, "Your Majesty is already waiting in Qianqing Palace."

Walking with Zhu Yijun on the way to Qianqing Palace, Zhang Fan was thinking about some things in his heart.

Although Feng Bao told him before that he was asked to come to Zhu Yijun to establish a good relationship, and Zhang Fan also planned to do so when he went.

But when Zhang Fan really came in front of Zhu Yijun, he couldn't do that kind of behavior, especially when he saw Zhu Yijun's sad and painful expression, Zhang Fan couldn't do this kind of utilitarian behavior. Even if he did something that people couldn't see at all, Zhang Fan hadn't reached the point where he wouldn't blush when he opened his eyes and told nonsense, and his heart beat too fast. , and moral concepts, these things prevent him from doing this, or even if he does, he will not do it thoroughly enough to achieve the effect.

But this time, Zhang Fan's feeling was different. Yes, he really couldn't use those tricks against Zhu Yijun, but he found that even if he didn't do that, Zhu Yijun's affection for him continued unabated. Before he knew it, Zhang Fan had completed what Feng Bao wanted him to do, and the effect was very good, but in less than an hour, Zhu Yijun's affection for Zhang Fan went up to a higher level.

When he reached Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun could no longer walk so slowly, he ran up the steps directly.

Looking at Zhu Yijun walking quickly, Zhang Fan sighed helplessly. Zhu Yijun's visit to Long Qing this time can be regarded as his last visit to see his father.

And Zhu Yijun himself didn't know this situation, and now he was happy to see his father.

This... is also a kind of sadness.

"Yuande," Zhang Juzheng's voice came from behind Zhang Fan when he was meditating.

"Teacher, Mr. Gao," Zhang Fan turned around, saw Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi, and hurried forward to say hello, "Eunuch Feng sent someone to summon you, right?"

"That's right, he belongs to Feng Bao," Zhang Juzheng replied, "You know about this, right?"

"Of course I know about this. It's just that Feng Bao said before that the two of you should wait outside the palace until the imperial concubine agrees to come in. Why did your teacher and Master Gao come in directly?" Zhang Fan suddenly asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the imperial concubine has already agreed?"

"I don't know if the imperial concubine agrees or not," Zhang Juzheng said after hearing Zhang Fan's words, after thinking about it, "but when Mr. Gao and I arrived outside the palace gate, no one stopped us at all. The father-in-law in the palace will guide the two of us, "

Hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, Zhang Fan couldn't help being surprised.

Not to mention the present, but in the past, if a minister wanted to enter the palace, unless he was a person like Zhang Fan with a waist card bestowed by the Emperor Longqing, he would have to let someone in to inform him. Seiko, this rule, not to mention ordinary ministers, even cabinet ministers have to abide by it.

But now, Long Qing is unconscious, the palace is nominally up to the queen, but in fact it is Li Guifei who decides. Zhang Fan doesn't believe that Li Guifei will be so negligent, and even if Li Guifei doesn't say anything, guarding the palace gate The people in the room shouldn't relax their vigilance, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi were able to come in so smoothly, it must be because Li Guifei explained in advance.

Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi were also a little puzzled about this matter, they were both thinking about the reason before, but now seeing Zhang Fan's thoughtful appearance, the two of them immediately understood.

"Yuande," Zhang Juzheng, who had figured it out, said to Zhang Fan with a smile, "It seems that not only we have plans for this matter, but your mother must have already planned it."

"Teacher may guess what the empress is planning," Zhang Fan asked. This question has been entangled in his mind for a long time, and it has not been resolved for a long time. Since the day Long Qing fell ill two months ago, Until now, many questions remained in Zhang Fan's mind and he couldn't figure it out.

Why did Concubine Li Gui not allow the imperial physician to continue Long Qing's life, and why Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Juzheng were allowed to enter the palace now? Zhang Fan had no idea about these things.

"I don't know that," Zhang Juzheng shook his head with a smile, "I don't even know what my mother-in-law is thinking. Who would know what she is thinking?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng said at this time Made such a joke.

"We're all here now," Gao Yi said with a smile, "If you wait a little longer, you'll know what's going on."

"By the way, teacher, Master Gao," Zhang Fan said suddenly, "Before, the imperial concubine asked someone to summon me and said something."

Afterwards, Zhang Fan told all the things that happened before and after Li Guifei summoned him.

After listening to Zhang Fan's words, both Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi became thoughtful.

"It seems..." After a long time, Zhang Juzheng said, "We all misunderstood your mother a little bit."

"Yes, we all misunderstood before," Gao Yi on the side also said, "Before, we didn't understand what the empress was doing, and the empress didn't seem like a person who wanted power, but since After His Majesty fell ill, these actions of the empress do seem to make people feel a little frightened, "

"But now, we have come to understand," Zhang Fan also said, "Your Majesty is not doing this for herself, but for the future of His Royal Highness, but the teacher and Mr. Gao don't think that Your Majesty is doing this. Is it too much to do?

"Your Majesty only has two princes now, and they are all descended from Concubine Li Gui. If Your Majesty...then there is no doubt that His Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, isn't it a bit redundant for your empress to do so?"

"To say it's superfluous, there are indeed some," Zhang Juzheng said, "but I think it's because of the empress's intentions. The empress is afraid that after His Highness the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, some people will take advantage of his young age and want to monopolize the power." , although the empress dowager will still have power when the time comes, but the Emperor Taizu had an imperial decree back then that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, only this one, no one dared to move in my Ming Dynasty for so many years, "

"The teacher means that if someone wants to be a regent in the future..." Zhang Fan has already heard Zhang Juzheng's meaning.

"That's right, if there is someone who holds great power in the future and wants to overshadow the emperor, even if the empress is the empress dowager, it's useless to object," Zhang Juzheng said.

"However, this kind of situation is probably very difficult to happen," Gao Yi said with a frown on the side. "In the more than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing has never happened. After all, those royal officials are not Decoration, "

"Of course the empress understands this," Zhang Juzheng said, "Let me guess, the empress did this to completely eliminate that possibility,"

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely be able to become emperor in peace and security in the future," Zhang Fan also sighed.

Yes, Zhu Yijun's situation can be said to be the best, unlike his father Long Qing who has always been suspected by Emperor Jiajing, nor is it like other princes who are afraid that others will compete with him for the throne, and there is also a father who likes him, and she His mother Li Guifei has done so many things to make him have no obstacles in the future.

Zhu Yijun will definitely be the most comfortable emperor in the future,
