The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

In late autumn.Every time it comes to this time.Whether it is the court from top to bottom or the common people.Either worry.Either it is festive.After all this time.It is harvest time.If the harvest in the field is not good.Or some other reason.Then the people will naturally be troubled.Worry about bad harvest.Then there is no money to be made.Even rations are difficult to solve.The imperial court was even more worried about such things as poor harvests.After all, it is the first condition for the people to be obedient.The most basic thing is to have food to eat.If the people in the world can't even eat enough.Nature is distracted.And what the imperial court fears most is that people's hearts will be scattered.In that case, it is also the easiest for a few people to rebel.

But fortunately.Over the years, God has also favored the Ming Dynasty very much.Ever since Long Qing sat on the throne.Although it is not that there have been no natural and man-made disasters.But the scale is also very small.Even if there are some floods or droughts or something.Not only is the scope small.And it's not serious.

And this year.Although it is not a big harvest.But it was by no means a bad year.Compared to the past.It's pretty good too.But even so.There is still an imperial decree from the court.Taxes in various places have been reduced by [-]%.Don't dare to underestimate that it's just a [-]% reduction in revenue.The whole country adds up.That's a lot less.Even if it is placed in the homes of farmers.Paying [-]% less can also make the family live comfortably in the next year.

It's not about showing kindness or anything.After all, this year is the new emperor's enthronement.These things are basically conventions.Of course it is worth it.And next year.It is the first year when Wanli's year number was officially launched.So it doesn't matter what the harvest is like next year.This decree to reduce taxes will still be issued.therefore.For ordinary people.These two years will be a very comfortable two years for them.

And inside the imperial court.Although it is said that Feng Bao now monopolizes the power alone.And even if it is the only one who can contend with him in terms of power.Zhang Juzheng.It was also on Feng Bao's side.Although now.Feng Bao also had some arbitrariness.It's a bit arrogant to do things.But not too much.It hasn't made the sky angry yet.After all, nowadays.For Feng Bao.The obstacles that should be cleared have also been cleared.Even if there are a few people left who don't deal with him very much.Both parties will not take the initiative to provoke each other.So it can be considered that there is nothing wrong with the court now.

Actually.This is the time when you should be most worried.After all, this is only Feng Bao's first year in power.And he has already shown a tyrannical side.If given time.I don't know what Feng Bao will look like.

but.Although the ministers in the DPRK are not idiots.It is also natural to be able to predict what will happen in the future.but.It seems like too much of the same situation in history makes them feel.Perhaps thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing.some things.It's better to muddle along.Even in the future.Things are going to go from bad to worse.But at least now we can live in peace.That's enough.

Such is the so-called human heart.Only satisfied with the present.It's not that people are too stupid.Or short-sighted.Can't see the future.It's just that they don't want to see it.

In short.It's calm now.No.Nor can it be said to be peaceful.At least one thing happened recently in North Korea.It also gave these people a chance to divert their attention.

It was the third day Chen Wenchuan came to the capital.Because although it was Wang Chonggu who unilaterally let him go on leave.But Chen Wenchuan is a third-rank official of the imperial court after all.And there are many people in the army.Therefore, his movements are naturally to be reported to the imperial court.

And since Chen Wenchuan is in the capital.Naturally, the person who proclaimed the decree did not have to travel all the way to Shanxi.They came directly to Zhang Fan's house.Honestly.These eunuchs who declared the decree.In fact, I prefer to go to other places to preach.After all, I can take the opportunity to travel far.You can also get a lot of oil and water.But they don't like to go to the army to preach to the soldiers.That's no big deal.After all, most of those soldiers are very rigid.I don't know the world.

Obviously.This practice has come true here in Chen Wenchuan.Chen Wenchuan is such a person.Just don't care and don't want to.If it was before.He might get into some trouble because of it.But now.His son-in-law is the governor of Jinyiwei.Where would anyone go to provoke him.

But even so.Zhang Fan still ordered someone to give some money to the eunuch who came to proclaim the decree.After the eunuch happily left.Chen Wenchuan also talked about this matter with Zhang Fan.But even though he hates these things.But this doesn't mean that Chen Wenchuan doesn't understand the truth.

Speaking up.This time Chen Wenchuan was promoted at the same level.It's a bit of a coincidence.After all, even Chen Wenchuan himself did not expect that he would suddenly come to the capital for vacation.The holiday that Wang Chonggu gave him was just a whim.If he received the imperial edict in the army.As long as it is not for the DPRK, it is too short of manpower.It even reached the point where it would be impossible without the left servant of the Ministry of punishment.Then after he received the imperial decree, he had to deal with the military affairs in the army before he could leave for the capital.

But now.Since he is on vacation.That also means that the food in the army must have been processed.so.After Chen Wenchuan received the imperial decree.There is no need to go back to Shanxi at all.The next day, I will go directly to North Korea to report.As for Shanxi.As long as the imperial court sends another official document to Wang Chonggu.Even if he is responsible to Wang Chonggu.

Anyway.In short, it is a foregone conclusion that Chen Wenchuan will take over as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment.It's just that he has to go to court the next day.Then go for a walk.

but.this matter.Naturally, it will arouse people's discussions in the court.After all, although it is not inappropriate for a commander in a place to take over as the left servant of the Ministry of punishment.After all, both official positions are of the third rank.The difference is only in power.But it is also because of the word power.Let people have to pay attention to this issue.After all, this huge Ming Dynasty.Zheng Sanpin's commander has too many things to do.Why did Empress Dowager Li take a fancy to this little-known Chen Wenchuan alone?

North Korea.No one knew who Chen Wenchuan was.Back then when Zhang Fan and Ru Xue got married.Chen Wenchuan is indeed in the capital.But then.Zhang Fan was just because he offended Xu Jie.But because of Long Qing's favor, he was doing a small thing in Jinyiwei.Although it is said that he works in Jinyiwei.Power is indeed not small.But at that time, no one was optimistic about him.Associated.At that time, no one came back to pay attention to who Zhang Fan's father-in-law was.

But wait until Zhang Fan's status rises.He never mentioned Chen Wenchuan either.And Ru Xue as a wife.Naturally, she also abides by women's morals.Not the kind of person who likes to spread the word.

So now.Chen Wenchuan appeared in front of all the court officials.Naturally, it made them feel novel.All the officials are asking who is Chen Wenchuan.Surprisingly able to stand out among so many candidates.He was directly transferred from the local government to the central government at the same level.There are even many people who are going to find out what is wrong with Chen Wenchuan.Good to impeach him.Maybe it will give other people the opportunity to take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

But when people learned that this person turned out to be Zhang Fan's father-in-law.Especially his daughter Chen Ruxue is Zhang Fan's wife.And Zhang Fan also loves Ru Xue deeply.No one would dare to make such an idea again.joke.The father-in-law of Jinyiwei wants to be promoted.And it is said that it was recommended by Feng Bao of Dongchang.Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was also the candidate who agreed.In this world, except the emperor and the queen mother.Who else dares to say a word.

Even if there is.Those are some really clean and honest officials.Just like Ge Shouli.But Ge Shouli is not a reckless person.Although it is said that if Chen Wenchuan is not capable.Who cares who he is accounted for he will not buy.However, Ge Shouli has always been cautious in doing things.After he got the news.Still made a special trip to ask the Ministry of War.After learning something about Chen Wenchuan.Don't bother with these things anymore.Obviously.In Ge Shouli's view.Chen Wenchuan is fully qualified for this position.

In short.That's the way it is.After entering the pilgrimage.Chen Wenchuan wore a black hat the next day.Wearing a crimson civil official uniform embroidered with scattered flowers and no branches and leaves.Standing on the top of the Great Hall of the Emperor, it was time for the morning court.Actually speaking.The efficiency of the Ming court is not fast.But obviously.Whether it is fast or not depends on the target.

It's just that although Chen Wenchuan is about to stand up now.But he's only just taking office.There is also a process of getting familiar with the various matters of the Ministry of Punishment.

And on the private side.Originally, Chen Wenchuan could live directly in Zhang Fan's house.But he still asked to move out.According to him, although he used to miss his daughter and grandson.But now if you can see it every day.But also a little tired.In his opinion.If Ruxue and Zhaoxue could bring their two children to visit him every now and then.Then he will feel better.

I have to say that Chen Wenchuan's idea is a bit weird.But Zhang Fan and others still agreed.But speaking of it.Zhang Fan was also happy with Chen Wenchuan's move.After all, if he has been living with his father-in-law.Although there is no problem on the surface.But I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Gradually.That's the end of the matter.

It's not been a month though.Something happened again.

Very simple.Because the Zhang family seems to be preparing for another wedding banquet.Many ministers also received posts.And this.People in the court think it is normal.After all, Zhang Fan now holds a lot of power at a young age.And the future is endless.It is naturally normal to have a few more beautiful ladies by your side.

But after learning the identity of this woman.These idlers in the court seem to have begun to discuss again.but.This time they were not talking about Zhang Fan or that woman.It was the woman's father.That is Chen Wenchuan.
