The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

To be honest, Zhang Fan did not expect that Queen Mother Li would let him stay to comfort Zhu Yijun. This is not to say that Zhang Fan was unwilling. After all, he still attached great importance to Zhu Yijun. Even if Queen Mother Li didn't mention it, he would do so. It's just that Zhang Fan didn't expect Queen Mother Li to mention it to him.

In other words, Zhang Fan never expected that Empress Dowager Li would be so blunt, telling him about this matter without any obscurity.

You must know that Zhu Yijun is the emperor after all, and Empress Dowager Li is also the empress dowager after all. As a member of the royal family, and they are the most noble mother and son in the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between them cannot be expressed in a few simple sentences. The words can be said clearly.

There are many things, even if the Queen Mother Li wants to say something, and wants to say something to Zhu Yijun in person, but due to their identities, many things cannot be said, or they cannot be said directly, not only because they are the Queen Mother And the emperor, to take into account the royal etiquette, they still have to make such an appearance to show others, showing a majesty, although it sounds too tiring, but there is no way, they can only do this.

For Zhang Fan, entering the official career was almost at the same time as he entered the palace to teach Zhu Yijun, so over the years, he has also understood the affairs between Zhu Yijun and Queen Mother Li. The Queen Mother Li is not like Long Qing, who has real power He is also an emperor who does not need to be recognized by others, and is somewhat arbitrary, so his attitude towards Zhu Yijun is also quite casual. Bound by strange regulations.

But Empress Dowager Li is different, perhaps because she is a woman. Women have always had a lot of right and wrong, whether in the palace or among the people. At that time, several of Longqing's sons died, and Zhu Yijun was his only son. Zhu Yijun must be the one who will inherit the throne in the future. Therefore, when the Empress Dowager Li was an imperial concubine, she didn't need to play the tricks and tricks that only appeared in the drama, she only needed to be dignified. Just educate Zhu Yijun well.

Therefore, when Zhang Fan met Queen Mother Li for the first time, he could feel that she cared a lot about her son Zhu Yijun, but she would never put this care on the surface, but put it all in her heart On the inside, but on the surface, she put on a very stern look, and she was very righteous for any compliments to Zhu Yijun, but she was absolutely sternly accusing Zhu Yijun of any mistakes.

In this regard, Zhang Fan felt at first that Empress Dowager Li just couldn't let go of her face. In fact, she was also very concerned about Zhu Yijun in her heart, or it could be said that Empress Dowager Li expected many things from Zhu Yijun.

But in the face of Queen Mother Li's cold attitude, over time, let alone Zhu Yijun himself, even Zhang Fan felt that she was a little too cold. It seemed that what she cared about was not Zhu Yijun, but how Zhu Yijun would She can't do her own thing well, don't let her lose face.

This emotion has always been in Zhang Fan's heart. Until today, until just now, what the Queen Mother Li said to him made Zhang Fan suddenly realize that it was not that the Queen Mother Li didn't like her son, but that You can't put your liking for him on the bright side.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Fan felt that this matter was very reasonable, because it reminded him of one thing, that is, the Queen Mother Li's attitude towards her second son, Zhu Yiliu, was really just holding it in the palm of his hand and fearing it. Falling down, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, he was completely spoiled. Zhang Fan originally thought that this was just a normal situation. After all, as parents, most of them love their younger sons more.

But now, Zhang Fan feels that this is not the case. I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Li has seen that Zhu Yijun has already sat on the throne, so Zhu Yiliu can only be a happy prince in the future, and for a prince, there is no need to think about it. It's too well-behaved to be like an emperor, and most importantly, Empress Dowager Li wants to make up for her harshness towards Zhu Yijun through her love for Zhu Yijun.

It's a bit funny to say that Tong Gui loves Zhu Yijun so much that he can give Zhu Yijun a kind of compensation, and also find her own mood. It sounds like a fairy tale, but when Zhang Fan thinks about it carefully, it really is like this. And he also felt that this would not appear to be unreasonable.

But Zhang Fan is still worried about other things. You know, although he is not a woman, he has a child, and Luo Linger is about to give birth. To be honest, Zhang Fan still loves Yan Yi and Yan very much. There are only two children a month, but he is more hopeful for the child who is still in Luo Linger's womb and has not yet come to the world.

Although he understands that this is human nature, Zhang Fan still thought of something else, especially for women, who are too sentimental. Who would know what kind of empress Li's doting on Zhu Yiliu will cause in the future? Let alone the future, how pampered and domineering Zhu Yiliu will be after he becomes the prince, let’s just talk about Queen Mother Li, whether he will have any other thoughts in the future because of this, no one can say such a thing not allowed.

Zhang Fan was thinking about this issue, but it didn't take long before he didn't intend to worry about himself anymore, not to mention that he couldn't figure it out at all, besides, Zhu Yiliu is only a little over two years old now, that's all. When he grows to the point that Zhang Fan is worried about, it will be more than ten years later.

It's not that Zhang Fan doubts Zhu Yijun's ability, because some things are inevitable. By that time, Zhu Yijun must already be in charge of the government and become an emperor with real power in his hands. In other words, Empress Dowager Li's doting on Zhu Yiliu has reached a depth that she cannot extricate herself from, and it is absolutely impossible to change anything.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan felt relieved.

While thinking about these messy things in his heart, Zhu Yijun came back and put on a suit of normal clothes. Zhu Yijun's face looked very rosy because he had just bathed, but Zhang Fan could still see through the blush. There were still some pale marks on Zhu Yijun's face.

"Teacher, you haven't left yet." Seeing that Zhang Fan was still there, Zhu Yijun looked very happy, and pushed back the eunuchs and maids around him. There was that look of self-pity.

"Your Majesty has encountered something troublesome again," Zhang Fan asked knowingly when he saw his appearance.

"Teacher, my mother...does my mother no longer like me?" Zhu Yijun asked after being silent for a long time.

Hearing his question, Zhang Fan secretly said "Sure enough" in his heart, but with a strange look on his face, he said, "What did your Majesty say? The Empress Dowager is His Majesty's biological mother, how could she hate Her Majesty?" ,"

"But..." Zhu Yijun seemed to be hesitant to tell Zhang Fan, but after thinking about it, he finally said, "Just now, my mother gave me a good reprimand, what I... what I mean is that today's I really didn't know about this matter, although I said that I made a decision that the ministers could not accept, but I didn't know in advance that it would happen, didn't I say that those who don't know are innocent, why did the queen mother blame me so much?"

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun showed a sad expression on his face again, as if he had suffered some great grievance.

Zhang Fan naturally understood his feelings. If someone who was older and had more experience encountered such a thing, he would not say anything. After all, this kind of thing is too much in life or in the court It's normal, but Zhu Yijun is different. After all, he is still a ten-year-old child, and he doesn't stay up all night with many people's sophistication. Of course you will feel wronged.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Fan said, "that's how things are. Many times, people have done nothing wrong, but they have to be blamed by others. It's actually nothing. There are many times when people just can't solve the problem. There is nothing I can do, I just want to find a place to vent, that's all for those ministers today.

"But the Queen Mother reprimands His Majesty, but it is different. After all, the Queen Mother and His Majesty have special identities, and His Majesty is still young. The Queen Mother did this not only for the face of the royal family, but more for educating His Majesty. You have to plan before you act, think twice before you act, only in this way can you be foolproof, "

"But... the queen mother is my biological mother after all, why..." Zhu Yijun still seemed a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Fan smiled, and said to Zhu Yijun, "Actually, the Queen Mother has always cared about Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhu Yijun's expression of disbelief, Zhang Fan changed his expression, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "My minister, please tell Your Majesty the truth, I am staying here to wait for Your Majesty, in fact, I am the Empress Dowager." commanded,

"Mother," Zhu Yijun was puzzled when he heard Zhang Fan's words.

"Yes," Zhang Fan nodded and said, "The Empress Dowager really cares about Your Majesty, but it is inconvenient for the Empress Dowager to tell His Majesty face to face, so I have to use a humble minister to say this to Your Majesty. Nothing has changed,"

Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Zhu Yijun fell silent. After a while, he raised his head and said to Zhang Fan, "Thank you, teacher."

Seeing that Zhu Yijun had returned to his previous appearance, although it was not complete yet, Zhang Fan was already relieved.
