The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

In fact, regarding what Zhang Juzheng wants to do, what thoughts does he have, in fact, according to Zhang Fan's thinking, it is very absurd, and it is too much to rely on luck. possibility.

The lecturer who presides over the sutra banquet has always been the most difficult role to play.

The key point of the sutra banquet is to achieve the essence of the sutras and to learn from history. However, the most important thing is to always attribute it to reality, use the past as a metaphor for the present, and use the past for the present , and a competent lecturer must complete this seemingly not difficult task.

If the official who is speaking is just taking words out of context to perfunctory or evade; It is very good, but he is not easy to do. In the past dynasties, countless officials have been dismissed because of this kind of thing. After all, the emperor is not a fool.

And even if the emperor is still too young to distinguish right from wrong, the emperor and the lecturer are not the only ones above the sutra banquet. The so-called banquet means that many people will come to participate , Moreover, the so-called "no literature is the first", for scholars, no one will agree that other people's knowledge is better than their own, so once the speaker makes such a mistake, it is estimated that it will not be necessary to wait until the next day to impeach him. The memorials were flying all over the sky.

Obviously, relying on Zhang Juzheng's talent, learning and cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to make this mistake.

Then, after the sutra feast is opened, Zhang Juzheng will be able to quickly deepen his prestige in the heart of Zhu Yijun, who already trusts him, in a short time. In the future, Zhu Yijun will be quite respectful to Zhang Juzheng. rely.

For this, it seems a little unbelievable, after all, the association of this thinking is too transcendent, but as long as you actually think about it, then this is not impossible, and the possibility is very high.

However, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel worried after thinking about these things. However, what he was worried about was not others, but Zhang Juzheng himself who had this wishful thinking.

However, if Zhang Juzheng really calculates according to what Zhang Fan thinks at the moment, Zhu Yijun will indeed value Zhang Juzheng more, rely more on him, and even look up to his leader.

However, Zhu Yijun at this time is only a ten-year-old child after all, and at this time, his dependence on anyone can be regarded as just a child's temper, even for Zhang Fan himself, He also understands this.

But Zhu Yijun will not always be a child, he will always grow up one day, and the biggest factor brought about by growth is the emergence of rebellious psychology, not to mention boys.

As far as Zhang Fan is concerned, no matter in his previous life or this life, he is a very filial person, he is considerate to his parents, and he does not want to do anything to make his parents sad, but he has also experienced times of rebellion, no matter in his previous life or this life This happened to Zhang Fan before.

The so-called rebellion is not only aimed at adults, or one's elders. Rebellion, to put it bluntly, means that in the process of growing up, people have a feeling of growing up, and they no longer want the old-fashioned thinking to restrain themselves. You can get things done with your own set of methods.

Let's not discuss whether rebellion is right or not, let's see the effect of rebellion. For children of ordinary families, this kind of thinking is not nothing, it is normal, but for a royal child, Especially for Zhu Yijun, who is now sitting on the throne, once such rebellious normal thinking appears, it will have very serious consequences.

Zhang Fan could even foresee that when Zhu Yijun was about fifteen or six years old, he would no longer be able to respect Zhang Juzheng so much, and what Zhang Juzheng taught Zhu Yijun now would turn into wordy, even It's boredom, of course, and it's likely to eventually turn into disgust.

And for an emperor, an emperor who is old enough to be in charge of the government, if a minister disgusts him, then the situation of that minister is quite dangerous.

Moreover, although the current Zhang Juzheng is still as before, devoted to his duties, not daring to abolish ethics, and knowing his own identity, but by that time, whether Zhang Juzheng will be able to maintain his current status, Zhang Fan may not be able to say.

It was reasonable for Zhang Fan to be so worried, because Zhang Juzheng had already shown some momentum at this moment.

It's not because he cooperated with Feng Bao to drive Gao Gong out of the capital. Although Zhang Juzheng went too far in this matter, after all, as a court minister, he took the initiative to contact an eunuch and drive another court minister away. It is not a glorious thing to suppress it, but in the final analysis, the nature of this matter is still purely political struggle. For political struggle, no means used will be too much. The degree of gore involved is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Moreover, what Zhang Juzheng did made a big difference to people, because this incident really refuted Zhang Juzheng's past principles of life, so it had such a big impact on the hearts of all officials in the court, but compared Speaking of it, Zhang Juzheng's behavior was considered gentle, and it was not an act that was too unprincipled.

What Zhang Fan really needs to worry about is that Zhang Juzheng, as the chief minister of the cabinet, has begun to show signs of being arbitrary and unforgiving. In the current cabinet, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi are on the side Because of the previous reasons, Gao Yi is now the second assistant of the cabinet, and the other four, although they have always expressed their neutrality in front of outsiders, in fact, they are also inclined to Zhang Juzheng's side.

But today's Zhang Juzheng is not so kind compared to before, and spends a lot more time staring. As long as the actions of someone in the court dissatisfy him a little, then Zhang Juzheng will not smile like before. Instead, he would stare at him and let him do what he wanted. Although it was not to the point of yelling, but now it seems that it is not far from that.

Zhang Fan is very concerned about this, so this kind of change, which doesn't seem very conspicuous now, is another worry for Zhang Fan.

It was the same with Xu Jie back then. While forbearing, he didn't do any unnecessary things. He was a good old man, and the court respected him very much. However, after Xu Jie got rid of Yan Song and became the chief assistant of the cabinet , things have changed, Xu Jie is no longer the good old man who can smile at everything, in the cabinet, and even in the entire court, there must be no existence that disobeys him. Jie will definitely kill him immediately, and Xu Jie's cold attitude has made you so miserable that you may not even understand what's going on.

And it was the same at the time of Gao Gong. Back then, Gao Gong was outstanding, with a bold personality, and many people valued him in the court. However, since the incident between him and Xu Jie, Xu Jie also Tough him up, and even at that time, Gao Gong's bold mentality has not changed, and his ambition is still there, but since Xu Jie retired, Gao Gong was appointed by Long Qing, and returned to the court to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet. After taking office, everything changed.

In the beginning, Gao Gong, who just came back, was able to stick to his past views and act fairly. However, Gao Gong's changes were too much. Within a month, Gao Gong began to change drastically. What kind of impeachment, he is It is very common practice, as long as someone in the court dares to disobey him, then the next day, a large number of memorials to impeach that person will appear.

But now, it's Zhang Juzheng's turn to sit in this position. Zhang Fan is really worried in his heart. He is worried that Zhang Juzheng will follow in the footsteps of the two people who are frustrated at home. Well, except that Zhang Juzheng has not ushered in the back, in the early stage, these three people can be said to be almost identical.

Moreover, Zhang Juzheng has just been in the position of chief assistant of the cabinet for more than three months, and this situation has already begun to appear, so how can Zhang Fan not be worried.

After all, Zhang Fan is Zhang Juzheng's disciple after all, how can Zhang Fan not care about this gentleman who has taught him a lot, although Zhang Fan's heart has always been very ups and downs for Zhang Juzheng in the past three months , but this cannot change Zhang Fan's feelings for him, or in other words, what Zhang Juzheng has done now is not enough to change Zhang Fan's view of him.

Although there is no clue yet, Zhang Fan can be sure that Zhang Juzheng is playing with fire, and one day in the future, the fire will definitely burn on Zhang Juzheng himself.

"Teacher, what's the matter?" Seeing that Zhang Fan was always silent, Zhu Yijun finally couldn't wait, and asked, "Is there any doubt about the reopening of the sutra feast?"

"Oh, no," Zhang Fan said hastily when he came back to his senses, "Your Majesty, my minister... I was a little distracted just now, please make amends, Your Majesty."

"What's wrong with this, it's just..." Zhu Yijun naturally didn't care about these things, but he was very puzzled, "It's just that the teacher seldom looked like this in the past. What's on the teacher's mind?"

"No, Weichen just thought of some trifles, and didn't have anything on his mind," Zhang Fan replied.

"That's good," Zhu Yijun felt relieved when he heard that Zhang Fan was fine, "Then, this sutra feast..."

"It should be reopened," Zhang Fan said. "It is a good thing to reopen the Sutra Banquet. It will be of great benefit to the country, the people, and Your Majesty."

"The teacher can say that, so I feel relieved," Zhu Yijun also smiled when he heard what Zhang Fan said.

It's just that Zhu Yijun smiled, but Zhang Fan couldn't smile,
