The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Seeing Zhu Yijun in micro-clothes outside the palace, Zhang Fan really felt his butt hurt again.The little ancestor seemed quite heartless, and ran in yelling.Behind him was Wang Dexian, the eunuch whom Zhang Fan had met once, but his face was full of helplessness.

"Teacher, a student is here to visit you." Zhu Yijun greeted Zhang Fan very politely.

"Your Highness!" Zhang Fan bowed and said, "Why is Your Highness leaving the palace again? If the Emperor and those people find out about this, I will suffer again!"

"Teacher, please don't worry, my father agreed this time." Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "My father even sent someone to guard me all the way, no one will see me leaving the palace."

Zhao and Xiangmei met Zhu Yijun before, but at that time they thought he was just an ordinary child. Ru Xue and Zhao Xue had never seen each other, and they hadn't heard the conversation between Zhang Fan and him. They were wondering why Zhang Fan was talking to a child salute.Even Chen Wenchuan and Ma Changwen looked at this side curiously.

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Zhang Fan hurriedly said, "This... this is the present prince."

Well, as soon as this sentence came out, everyone was frightened, and everyone hurriedly saluted.Zhu Yijun was young, and there were many officials in Beijing who had never met him. Chen Wenchuan and Ma Changwen were a little surprised when they heard Zhang Fan's introduction. It was not because the crown prince would come to Zhang Fan's house, but because they saw the relationship between Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun. It was very unusual, and I couldn't help but feel happy for Zhang Fan.

Although Zhu Yijun was young, he was like a crown prince. He calmly asked everyone to get up, and came to Mrs. Zhao and said, "Ma'am, there was a reason why I couldn't reveal my real identity last time. Please don't blame me."

Mrs. Zhao was a little flustered by Zhu Yijun and didn't know how to answer.Seeing her nervousness, Zhu Yijun said: "Madam, please don't be like this. Although I am the prince, I am very close to the teacher. Besides, this time I am going out of the palace in low clothes, so don't be so restrained."

After what he said, Zhao finally calmed down a little, and said: "His Royal Highness has given orders, so it should be so. Forgive my poor eyesight last time, I didn't recognize His Highness's face. I wonder what your Highness is doing this time?"

"I just came here when I have nothing to do." The old god Zhu Yijun said, seeing Chen Wenchuan and Ma Changwen, he asked Zhang Fan suspiciously: "Teacher, who are these two?"

"Chen Wenchuan, Dingbian Inspector of Weichen." "Ma Changwen, magistrate of Anhua County, kowtow to Your Highness." The two hurriedly saluted.

"Your Highness, County Magistrate Ma has some connections with my family, and is my father-in-law's brother-in-law." Zhang Fan said, and introduced Chen Wenchuan, "This is my father-in-law."

"Please hurry up, both of you. Although I am a crown prince, I also understand the principles of heaven, earth, ruler, parent and teacher. You two are the elders of the teacher, so naturally you are also the elders of this palace. There is no need to be so polite." Zhu Yijun said.

The two did not get up, and said: "Your Majesty, the prince, you must not lose the etiquette." Zhu Yijun had to order the two to get up as the prince, and then he gave up.

Zhang Fan's introduction reminded Zhu Yijun of the purpose of coming here, and said: "Teacher, I haven't seen your wife yet, please introduce me quickly."

"This is Wei Chen's wife." Zhang Fan pointed at Ru Xue and said.

Ruxue was standing with her younger sister Zhaoxue at this time. Although the two had different temperaments, they looked very similar. Zhu Yijun misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Teacher has a lot of eyes. They are still two sisters."

The two sisters blushed immediately after hearing his words, especially the girl Zhaoxue, who was usually careless, but now she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.Zhang Fan was even more choked by these words, and after a while he motioned for Ruxue to come over, and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood, I only married one person, this is my wife, Chen Ruxue, and that is my wife and sister." Chen Zhaoxue."

The two sisters walked up to Zhu Yijun, saluted and said, "Minister Chen Ruxue." "Chen Zhaoxue, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that he had made a big oolong, Zhu Yijun was also very embarrassed, so he forced himself to stabilize the expression on his face, and said, "It's my Gong Menglang, get up quickly."

Ru Xue was fine, and quickly got rid of the embarrassment just now.Zhaoxue's face seemed calm, but her heart was in a state of confusion, and she secretly cast her eyes on Zhang Fan from time to time when no one was paying attention.

Everyone talked, Zhu Yijun was very easy-going, and everyone gradually let go of their nervousness.In addition, although Zhu Yijun is young, he has read a lot of books, and his conversation is quite elegant.Everyone admired him, especially Chen Wenchuan and Ma Changwen were very happy to see him like this. At the same time, they were even more optimistic about Zhang Fan who had taught Zhu Yijun.

After all, Zhu Yijun is a child, and his main purpose is to be able to play freely when he comes out this time.The last time I played with that girl Xue'er, Zhu Yijun enjoyed the little girl's unaffected adoration expression very much.He went to play with Xueer on his own.Everyone in the Zhang residence knew Zhu Yijun's identity, and the servants treated him with care, but Zhu Yijun hated this kind of posture that he was used to in the palace.That girl Xue'er is innocent and cute, and she doesn't know what the word "Prince" stands for. She is very free with Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun also likes to play with her very much.

No, the little girl looked at him innocently and asked, "What is a prince?"

When Zhu Yijun heard her words, some cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said, "The prince is not a thing, no...the prince is...it is...my...my name."

"But isn't your name Yijun?" The little girl still remembered the name he told her last time.

"Hehe, this is... this is my baby name...hehe, baby name." Zhu Yijun looked sloppy, he didn't want the only person who could not be pretentious in front of him to become respectful.

"It doesn't sound good, Xue'er should call you little brother." Xue'er said.

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Yijun said happily.Wang De, who was on the side, saw this scene first, and was about to go up and say that it was against etiquette, but he shivered in fright at Zhu Yijun's cold eyes, and retreated.

"Then little brother, hurry up and tell Xue'er a story. The story from last time hasn't been finished yet." Xue'er stretched out her tender little hand and grabbed Zhu Yijun's sleeve and said, with expectant looks in her eyes from time to time.

Wang Dexian looked at it with a sad face, but then he seemed to think about it, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's rare for Your Highness to have such an expression." Zhang Fan said from the side, "I'm going to trouble Eunuch this time."

"Your Excellency said that it is the duty of a servant to serve His Highness." Wang Dexian said, "Although His Highness usually messes around in the palace, no one will accompany him. Although His Highness the Successor Princess is still young, she is well-mannered. Your Highness I don't have any playmates either. Seeing His Highness so happy now, the slaves are also very happy, and I must thank Mr. Zhang."

"Eunuch Wang seems to be very concerned about His Highness," Zhang Fan said.

"Your Highness has been served by servants after entering the palace." Wang Dexian said, "Although it has only been two years, this servant is very grateful to His Highness. His Highness usually loses his temper for fun, but he has never punished anyone. But slaves It can be seen that His Highness is lonely."

"The sorrow of being born in the royal family!" Zhang Fan thought silently in his heart.

Zhang Fan suddenly thought that there were not many diligent emperors in the Ming Dynasty in history, and most of them had side jobs, such as carpentry, astrology, and small business. Maybe it was a sign of struggling with fate.

Zhu Yijun was in the palace, and no one would tell him stories except Zhang Fan.Although there are many books in the palace, there are no idle books like "The Scholars".What he told Xueer was also what Zhang Fan told him.But Xueer was deeply attracted by what he said, and the expression on her face changed with the plot of the story to become more lovely, especially when the little girl looked at Zhu Yijun with admiration every time a story was finished, it was even more so. It gave Zhu Yijun a sense of satisfaction.

"Your Highness." Ru Xue came over, leaned over and said to Zhu Yijun, then turned her head and said to Xue'er, "Xue'er, your sister is looking for you all over the house, go and have a look." , Ru Xue also likes it very much.

Cher responded and left.Ru Xue looked at Zhu Yijun, not knowing what to say.But Zhu Yijun spoke first: "Bengong...I...can I call your sister?"

Ru Xue looked at him suspiciously.Zhu Yijun looked embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "Although you are the teacher's wife, you make me feel like a sister, no, better than my own sister."

As soon as he said that, Ru Xue understood.She guessed that Zhu Yijun's sisters were also the kind of princesses who respected the etiquette in the palace, but his identity made Ru Xue hesitate.But seeing Zhu Yijun looking at her pitifully, she suddenly felt a kind of maternal care for the newly married woman.Ru Xue nodded and said, "Of course."

Zhu Yijun was very happy to hear her words.The innocent expression and open heart made Ru Xue feel like she had done a great deed.Zhu Yijun was very happy to have Ru Xue as his sister. When Xue Er came back, Zhao Xue was still behind her, and the four of them played together.Looking at Zhu Yijun's little green among the thousands of flowers, even though he was still a child, Zhang Fan felt a little jealous

In the evening, the Zhang Mansion was very lively, and this was the happiest dinner Zhu Yijun had ever had.After dinner, it was getting late, Wang Dexian's urging and Zhang Fan's persuasion could not make Zhu Yijun want to go back.In the end, it was Ru Xue who came to persuade her, but Zhu Yijun immediately agreed, which surprised everyone.

Zhu Yijun looked at it with nostalgia, and then followed Wang Dexian back to the palace under the secret guard sent by Longqing.

From then on, Zhu Yijun often went out of the palace to play at Zhang Fan's house, but it seemed that besides the big sister Ru Xue, the little girl Xue Er was the one he got to play with the most.

On the 29th of the new year, Zhang Fan went to Jinyiwei on this day. It was the end of the year, and he wanted to go to see if there was anything wrong.When they came to Jin Yiwei's yamen, everyone was very polite to Zhang Fan. Zhu Yijun went to his house that day, and Jin Yiwei, who was guarding him, had already spread the news. Zhang Fan's value is so high now.Zhu Xizhong, the commander of Jinyiwei, was also there, and when he saw Zhang Fan coming, he called him into a room, just the two of them.

"Zhang Qian is in high spirits every happy event!" Zhu Xizhong said.

"Thank you for your concern," Zhang Fan said.

"Didn't I tell you to come back after the New Year's Eve? What's the matter today?" Zhu Xizhong asked.

"I have nothing else to do. Isn't it the end of the year? I want to take a look." Zhang Fan said.

"Oh." Zhu Xizhong sighed, with a rather helpless expression.

"Why is your lord sighing?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I was thinking, those people under me, after a long time, are very slippery, and they will definitely find ways to be lazy on weekdays." Zhu Xizhong said, "I don't want to do anything about Zhang Qian, they are very motivated."

"My lord, it's absurd." Zhang Fan said, "The north is very peaceful this year!"

"That's right, the Tartars haven't moved at all this year." Zhu Xizhong said, "By the way, I remembered something when you mentioned the north. Zhang Qian has been with the army, so he is familiar with the north."

"I'm ashamed, I did go out with the army, but I didn't contribute much. I also have a little understanding of the things over there." Zhang Fan said.

"That's easy." Zhu Xizhong said, "In the spring of next year, you have to go to Tatar."
