The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"What... what do you mean, teacher?" Zhu Yijun was really puzzled when Zhang Fan said that he was going to talk about the sutra banquet. Zhang Fan said those boring things, but now that Zhang Fan said that, he really couldn't figure out why, or he didn't know what Zhang Fan was going to say.

"That's right," Zhang Fan changed the subject and said, "But just now, I felt that His Majesty already understood the "Doctrine of the Mean" that I was going to say today, and even if I said it again, His Majesty might not I can comprehend more things, but I may still get bored, so I don't intend to repeat it, but now, I have found something new, I think His Majesty should listen to it, but, although this is a classic feast , why not ask His Majesty to regard it as an ordinary lecture, just like when I was teaching His Majesty before, "

"That's good." Sure enough, after hearing what Zhang Fan said, Zhu Yijun didn't feel that there was anything boring, but became interested, "Is it the same as what the teacher said when he was in the East Palace?" It seems that, Zhu Yijun obviously missed that time very much.

"Almost," Zhang Fan said with a smile, but the next moment, his face became more serious, "It's just that this time, although what he said has nothing to do with Jing Yan, but at this time and this place, after all, Above the banquet, I hope His Majesty will take it seriously, "

Obviously, Zhang Fan still had a great influence on Zhu Yijun. Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Zhu Yijun became very serious. Looking at Zhang Fan, he nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I know the occasion clearly." ," Moreover, what Zhu Yijun said was indeed his original intention, especially the serious appearance, which really made people believe him very much.

The same is true for Zhang Fan, and at that moment, Zhang Fan was indeed stunned by Zhu Yijun's expression in an instant, which made him feel that Zhu Yijun was indeed very serious at the moment, but the next moment, Zhang Fan's expression There has been a big change, becoming helpless, but with a lot of helplessness, the reason is very simple, because he saw that Zhu Yijun was saying these righteous words, but on the table in front of him, there was still a With a variety of snacks and high points, it is really not an appearance that can convince others.

However, at this time, Zhang Fan felt that it didn't matter. What kind of atmosphere the scene was, and whether it was suitable for teaching, these were not important. The important thing was whether Zhu Yijun could listen to it. The Zhu Yijun that everyone knows is just such a kind of person. No matter how much he was interested in something before, if there is really something that interests him even more, he will definitely devote himself to it.

"Teacher, what do you want to say?" Zhu Yijun had already made preparations, but after waiting for a while, Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask before he could speak.

Zhu Yijun's voice awakened Zhang Fan from his slightly weird thoughts, he shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, although I said today that I have something to tell Your Majesty, but I only said it in the name of Jing Yan." , let His Majesty listen carefully, that's all."

"Oh, I don't know what it is." Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Zhu Yijun felt even more interested.

"Your Majesty, I once heard my subordinates talk about some folk affairs, and thought it was interesting, so I wanted to talk to Your Majesty," Zhang Fan said with a smile. He didn't intend to preach at first, so maybe it was because of his own reasons. Zhu Yijun will listen carefully, but it is not certain how much effect he will receive.

"Really, then tell me, teacher," although Zhu Yijun is an emperor, he should not be so interested in the affairs of the world or the common people, but Zhu Yijun just likes to hear these things. In fact, many emperors are also very interested I like to listen to these things, the difference is that some people still want to listen to it after listening to it, while others just listen to it and then show dismissiveness, and Zhu Yijun is exactly the kind of person who still wants to listen to it after listening to it.

"In other words, it probably happened a few years ago," Zhang Fan said. "In the land of Jiangnan, that is, when I was ordered by the late emperor last time, I heard something."

"Oh," Zhu Yijun felt a little strange when he heard this. Of course, he wasn't wondering about anything else, but, "If I remember correctly, I was still the prince at that time, and that's what I also told him. By the teacher's side, it's just that why I don't know about this matter, whether I haven't heard it, or I have already heard it, "

"Your Majesty should have never heard of it," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "There are two brothers who were born in the Zhengde period. They have been in business for generations. He started to do business, and now, he still has some capital and a good reputation in the local area. However, because of his status as a businessman, he is always looked down upon by others, so the father of the two brothers has the opportunity to allow them to obtain fame. Thoughts, although the two brothers are the only ones in the family, if they both become officials, no one will be able to inherit the family business, but after all, for more than a hundred years, the family has a lot of money, although it can't be said to be amassing. If both brothers embark on official careers and the family becomes an official from now on, it doesn't matter whether the business is done or not."

"That's true," Zhu Yijun obviously listened very seriously, and he could say something, "Sure enough, no matter if they are ordinary people or the children of officials, regardless of whether their families are rich or poor, they all want to get ahead. Every three years, the imperial court There are many people who are new to the officialdom, and some of them are in high school for the first time, but they fail in the exam after another exam, but no matter what, these people have paid a lot. If you neglect these people who have gone through untold hardships for a reason, it will not only make the government unreasonable, but also chill the hearts of scholars all over the world. Could it be that this is what the teacher wants to tell me, please rest assured, the teacher , I have already understood this point, although I dare not boast, but I will definitely make some changes in this in the future, "

Zhang Fan really didn't expect that Zhu Yijun had such an idea after he just said the beginning. Although this was not his main meaning, Zhang Fan was naturally happy that Zhu Yijun could think of this. .

"Your Majesty is right," Zhang Fan nodded, and said, "It's just that what I want to say is not about this matter. Those two brothers studied hard, and their father didn't let them manage the family business at all. The idea is to let them concentrate on studying and never need to be distracted by this matter, and the two brothers are not only talented, but they did not disappoint their father. up.

"It's just that when the township examination was about to be held, they suddenly felt that their family business could not be abolished, and their father was getting older. It also made him reluctant to let go. For their father, this is not a problem. After all, he has two sons, and both of them are talented in reading. As long as one is left to inherit the family business, the other will go to the exam. That's it.

"But the two brothers don't see it that way, and they are very young. Under their arrogance, it is also because they have read a lot of books. They always feel that they are allowed to manage business as scholars and have fame. Their father naturally saw this and made a rule that he asked both brothers to go to the country test. If they failed, then wait for the next time. If one If one wins and one fails, then the one who fails does not need to take the exam again, and comes back to inherit the family business and start a business. If both of them win, then the one with the lower ranking will go home.

"I have to say that my father's method is not bad. After all, if both of them win the exam, then obviously, the one with the better grades will definitely have a big development in the future, but the two brothers both want to get fame, although they agree My father's method, but secretly, he studied harder.

"However, the younger brother is really not as good as the elder brother. No matter how hard he tries, although his talent is much higher than others, he still can't catch up with his elder brother. However, as the younger brother, he really wants to be Official, to honor the ancestors, so, with such an urgent desire, my younger brother did something bad," Zhang Fan said here, with a somewhat lonely expression on his face.

"What a bad thing, what a bad thing." Zhu Yijun was a little engrossed in listening, and didn't notice Zhang Fan's expression, but was very interested in what he said.

"The younger brother once put medicine in his elder brother's meal," Zhang Fan continued, "It sounds a bit inappropriate now, but at that time, his younger brother was a little crazy, and what he was thinking was not For that kind of thing, he just let his brother fall ill for a few days, and after he wins Juren, the matter will be settled no matter what, "

"This..." Hearing this, Zhu Yijun didn't know what to say. He did drug his own brother in order to become an official. This kind of thing is not uncommon in this era, and Zhu Yijun didn't think it was very unusual. After all, who would want to be an official?

"It's just that his younger brother is not a doctor, and he doesn't know the severity of the medicine." Zhang Fan continued, "He did this very secretly and didn't want anyone to know, so even the medicine was found by himself. Check the medical books and buy the medicinal materials in private.

"In the end, because the dosage of the medicine was wrong, something went wrong in the end,"
