The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Yuande, move to a new house!" Zhang Juzheng said to Zhang Fan.The new home had just been settled when Zhang Juzheng arrived.

"Looking at what the teacher said, it's not all rewards from the emperor." Zhang Fan said, "But the students deserve it too!"

"This is also the problem that your majesty was forced out by the former emperor when he was King Yu." Zhang Juzheng said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty usually spends quite extravagantly, and the students know this." Zhang Fan said, "It's just that His Majesty is not the kind who doesn't distinguish between rewards and punishments. This time, he suddenly rewarded students like this, which is very puzzling."

"Your Majesty must have a purpose in rewarding you, and I can guess a little bit." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Teacher, please tell me." Zhang Fan humbly asked for advice.

"It's not because of the conflict between you and the teacher." Zhang Juzheng said, "I'm afraid that all the officials in Beijing know about the matter between you and your teacher. Although they don't know why, it's a fact that your teacher doesn't like you." .”

"I know this too, but does it have anything to do with His Majesty rewarding me with these things?" Zhang Fan was still puzzled and asked.

"You have to think about the identity of your teacher." Zhang Juzheng reminded, "Your teacher has been an important minister in two dynasties, and is currently the chief assistant of the cabinet. He has a great reputation. Naturally, many people are very respectful to the teacher."

When Zhang Juzheng said this, Zhang Fan understood.After all, Xu Jie was the chief assistant, even if he didn't take the initiative to gather, many people would cling to him. Zhang Juzheng's respect was just respect for him.Although Zhang Fan didn't move around the court very much, everyone knew about the quarrel between him and Xu Jie.Although those people didn't know why Xu Jie didn't like Zhang Fan, they would naturally deal with Zhang Fan in order to please Xu Jie.

"Your Majesty may have heard something before he made such a move. The purpose is to remind these people that you are someone His Majesty favors, and tell them not to make up their minds." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Your Majesty's thoughts are also clear to the students, and they always analyzed it for me last time." Zhang Fan thought for a while and said, "It's just that His Majesty's actions can solve the students' difficulties for a while, but it is inevitable that those people will spend more time trying to deal with me. Already!"

"Actually, His Majesty is also planning for the afterlife." Zhang Juzheng said something sensational.

These words frightened Zhang Fan. Looking at Zhang Juzheng's face, he said slowly, "Teacher, what do you mean?"

"I'm not cursing Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng said, "You must also know about the matter between the late Emperor and Your Majesty."

Zhang Fan nodded and waited for the next sentence.

"The late emperor's suspicion of His Majesty not only bored His Majesty, but also affected His Majesty's body." Zhang Juzheng said, "When Your Majesty was King Yu, he was always worried that he would be punished by the late Emperor. His Majesty at that time had no choice but to spend this energy on women.

"It's just that your Majesty is also a mortal. At that time, he started to take medicine, and then the amount became larger and larger. After the emperor passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne, this habit of taking medicine can no longer be changed, and everything has become more and more serious. After the imperial physician's Rehabilitation, Your Majesty's body is better now, but the internal problems cannot be cured at all. Your Majesty knows it very well. Because I was also working in Yuwang's Mansion at that time, knowing this, Your Majesty often asked me to discuss this matter. But people in the court don’t know about it.”

After Zhang Fan listened to his words, he was surprised.He was not a history major in his previous life, but he knew something.He remembered that Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, was only ten years old when he came to the throne, but now Zhu Yijun is almost eight years old. In this way, there are only three years left for Long Qing to be right.It's just that this matter cannot be explained to Zhang Juzheng.

"The teacher means that His Majesty wants to spend the rest of his time cultivating me?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as just cultivation." Zhang Juzheng said, "Your Majesty may want you to be at his side when he ascends the throne."

Well!First, he became the default champion, and now he is the default minister of Gu Ming.However, Zhang Fan didn't feel happy at all, instead he felt uneasy that big trouble was coming.Even if Long Qing lived for three years, Zhang Fan would only be 23 years old. The 23-year-old Minister Gu Ming put him at the forefront of the storm!

"Teacher, I can understand His Majesty's thoughts, but there are tens of millions of people like me in the world, why did you choose me?" Zhang Fan asked.

"That's right, there are more than ten million talented people in this world, and there are many people who are better than you." Zhang Juzheng said, "But it's not without reason that His Majesty chose you. You are so conspicuous in this palace test, and you went out with the army before, Your Majesty also knows about you. More importantly, His Highness the Crown Prince likes you very much, and you treat the Crown Prince very well."

When Zhang Fan heard it, it was the truth.Long Qing didn't just want to find someone who was capable, but also someone who was not only capable, but also kind to Zhu Yijun.Zhang Fan's articles and his ability to deal with people have all been inspected by Long Qing, although he didn't know it himself.But the relationship between him and Zhu Yijun is real. Zhu Yijun likes Zhang Fan very much, and Zhang Fan is also very accommodating to Zhu Yijun.This is probably the main driving force behind Long Qing's determination.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will have evil thoughts? After all, people change." Zhang Fan said half-jokingly.

"Your Majesty knows this, so he will naturally take precautions." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Oh?" Zhang Fan looked at him suspiciously, found a faint smile on Zhang Juzheng's face, suddenly realized, and said, "So it's the teacher! Your Majesty wants the teacher to supervise the students!"

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said nothing.

"Your Majesty's thoughts are really meticulous." Zhang Fan said, "But in this way, isn't there a way to change things?"

"This matter is of great importance, and we still need to think about it in the long run." Zhang Juzheng said.

The two were silent for a while, Zhang Juzheng suddenly said: "Yuande, I heard that you are getting married soon."

Hearing this, Zhang Fan also showed a smile on his face, and said, "Exactly, the team to see off the relatives is probably coming soon."

"Hehe, this is a great event!" Zhang Juzheng was also very happy.

"At that time, I will have to trouble the teacher to be the student's witness." Zhang Fan also said with a smile.

"It's natural, I will definitely come when the time comes."

The two chatted again, and Zhang Juzheng left.Zhang Fan was thinking about things alone. To be honest, there was no one in the higher position who didn't want to, and Zhang Fan was also very happy.It's just that when there is happiness, there is also worry.

On this day, the sending-off team arrived in the capital, and Chen Wenchuan and Ma County Magistrate also followed.When the two came to Zhang Fan's residence, Mrs. Zhao warmly received the prospective in-law.

"Two uncles." Zhang Fan greeted the two of them.

Magistrate Ma was very happy after hearing Zhang Fan's words, but Chen Wenchuan didn't respond.

"Nephew, you are right to call me uncle, but you can't call me righteous brother like that!" Magistrate Ma said with a smile.

Zhang Fan listened to his words, looked at Chen Wenchuan's face, and said, "My son-in-law, please greet Mr. Taishan."

Only then did Chen Wenchuan feel happy, and said to Zhang Fan: "Well, a good son-in-law doesn't need to be polite." Everyone laughed.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Fan asked, "Father-in-law and uncle, how is the situation in northern Xinjiang this year?"

"It's strange to say that everything is going well in northern Xinjiang this year, not even the small-scale intrusions of the past. I haven't seen a single tartar since the beginning of winter." Chen Wenchuan was also very happy.

Ma County Magistrate also said: "This time, your father-in-law and I plan to wait for Ru Xuehe to get married before leaving after the new year. Mr. Wang also granted your father-in-law such a long vacation because of the stability in northern Xinjiang this year."

"That's great, but where do you live?" Zhang Fan said, "Although my place is big, but Ru Xue and I haven't married yet, what should we do these days?"

"I also have a house in the capital." County Magistrate Ma said, "Although it's a bit small, but since you want to marry Ru Xue, naturally let her be wronged first. I'm going to disturb you with my old bones."

"What did uncle say?" Zhang Fan said.

"Actually, this matter is very easy to handle. You and Ru Xue should get married earlier." Magistrate Ma said with a smile, "How is it? Has the date been set?"

How did Zhang Fan understand this? He looked at his mother beside him.Mrs. Zhao also said happily: "I have already received the news that you have entered the city, so I went to find someone to figure it out. The [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month is a good day."

"The sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are still three days left, mother, is it too urgent?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone prepare it for you in the past few days." Zhao Shi said.

Chen Wenchuan also said, "I can do it here too. Things have already been done. Things have been done a long time ago. Although it was a bit hasty, I think the two of them can't wait any longer."

His words made Zhang Fan a little embarrassed, and everyone laughed.

Xiangmei has been serving the Zhao family all the time now, and now Zhang Fan's family has changed houses, although there are not many, there are a few servants.Xiangmei seems to have become a housekeeper, but this girl treats everyone amiably, and the others have no objection.Mrs. Zhao ordered Xiangmei to prepare a room for Magistrate Ma and Chen Wenchuan, and Chen Wenchuan was staying with Zhang Fan for the first few days.

In the afternoon, Zhang Fan went to Jinyiwei's administrative office and asked for leave.Thousands and hundreds of households in Jinyiwei in the capital knew the news that Zhang Fan was going to get married, and they all came to congratulate him.Before taking them away, Zhao Ming, the Qianhu who arrested people with Zhang Fan last time, handed Zhang Fan an envelope. Zhang Fan thought it was some news, so he opened it and saw, good guy, a thick stack of bank notes.

Zhang Fan looked at Zhao Ming and said, "Brother Zhao, what is the meaning of this?"

"This is a gift from brothers to congratulate you." Zhao Ming said.

"This, how can I accept it!" Zhang Fan quickly declined.

"My dear brother, you must accept this." Zhao Ming said.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Fan asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

"If you don't accept it, others will think that you are going to deal with him!" Zhao Ming said, "If there are only one or two people, it's fine. These are fourteen thousand households in the capital, and more than a hundred hundreds of households have given gifts. You If you don't accept it, you won't offend them all!"

Zhang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it was nothing more than accepting bribes, Zhang Juzheng also spent a lot of money begging Feng Bao to do things.But this is the first time that you are being forced to accept money. Zhang Fan had no choice but to accept the gift after hearing Zhao Zhao's words.

Back at the door of the house, just as he was about to go in, Liu Feng said to Zhang Fan, "My lord, someone is staring at you somewhere."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Fan looked in the direction his eyes were looking at, and suddenly saw the girl Zhaoxue there.Zhang Fan said to Liu Feng: "It's okay, she came to look for me."

"Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but you've gained a little weight!" Zhaoxue looked at Zhang Fan strangely, and said, "My sister is thinking about you and getting thinner and thinner. Sure enough, men don't have a good thing."

Hearing what she said, Zhang Fan could only smile wryly, and quickly asked, "Is Ru Xue okay? Didn't she say in her letter that everything is fine? Why didn't you write to tell me?"

"Sister is afraid of disturbing you, so naturally she won't tell you this." Zhaoxue said, "What's the use of me telling you? Do you want the two of you to worry about each other?"

Hearing her words, Zhang Fan felt a little embarrassed, and asked, "How is Ru Xue doing now?"

"It's much better. In fact, there was nothing wrong with her. Now she's about to get married, so she's naturally happy." Zhaoxue said a little sourly.

Zhang Fan thought she was just reluctant to let her sister get married, so he didn't say anything.Zhaoxue took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Fan: "This is from my sister."

Zhang Fan took it over and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Hmph!" Zhaoxue snorted naturally.

"Would you like to come in for a meeting? Your father is also there." Zhang Fan said.

"No, if dad finds out that I sneaked here to deliver letters to my sister, he'll scold me again." Zhaoxue said, "I've been out for a while, and my sister is still waiting for me, so I'll go back first."

Zhang Fan watched Zhaoxue leave, looked at the letter in his hand, and happily walked into the house.
