The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"I want to talk about things that can be done now..." Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but think about it. It's already late autumn. If this time is mentioned, the first thing people think of is only one thing, that It's the autumn harvest, but obviously, things like autumn harvest have nothing to do with Zhu Yijun. Now it's not a special period, and there is no need for the emperor to take the lead in working in the fields. It is inspiring, but other than that, Zhang Juzheng just couldn't think of anything else that was suitable for him to do at this time.

"Hehe, maybe the teacher couldn't figure it out for a while." Seeing Zhang Juzheng's frowning expression, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "But it's not the teacher's fault. After all, we have already stopped this matter in the Ming Dynasty." It’s been many years, and the teacher probably hasn’t seen it, and the students saw it by accident when they were flipping through the previous files recently, so this is what I remembered,”

"Oh, Yuande, you don't want to be fooled with me anymore." Seeing Zhang Fan's mysterious appearance, Zhang Juzheng was curious, but also a little impatient, "You don't know. , but now I am very troubled, the things on my side are not in a hurry now, and it is not impossible to let go of His Majesty's Sutra Banquet, but it is impossible to let His Majesty do nothing and have nothing to do, Yuande, if you think of it What, then hurry up and say it, I can feel better in my heart, "

"Teacher, don't panic, listen to the students talk slowly." Zhang Fan couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang Juzheng like this, "What the students want to talk about is naturally not about farming. Although this matter is important, it is not enough. Your Majesty needs to do it, the thing the students want to talk about has not been done since the Jiajing Year,"

"Oh." Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Zhang Juzheng became more curious, "What is it?"

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's appearance like this, Zhang Fan felt that this was the end of the interesting thing, and he opened his mouth to say the answer: "Qiu Shou,"

"You mean, Qiushou," Zhang Juzheng thought about it when he heard Zhang Fan mention such a thing.

In fact, what Zhang Fan said is not wrong at all. This Qiushou has indeed not been done for many years. To be more specific, when it comes to the Ming Dynasty, it is no different from other Han people. A dynasty that emphasized culture over military affairs. Although it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established the country with martial arts, and Zhu Di, the emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, won the throne through an armed coup. These two most famous emperors in the history of the Ming Empire both relied on The word "Wu" is what makes them famous in history, but this does not change their firm position on emphasizing literature over martial arts. In other words, it is precisely because both of them rely on "Wu" They ascended to the throne because of "wu", so they also understand the importance of this word, so they insist on such a national policy.

And things like Qiushou are actually for the purpose of training the word "Wu", but this thing is not a tradition of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he often used the matter of Qiushou I did, but mostly with the mentality of playing games.

Why is it that it has been rarely done since the Jiajing period? The former Emperor Zhengde was famous for being playful. Even today, people, especially the ministers in the court or the royal family, cannot admit that the emperor is greedy. Playing with this matter, but they also understand in their hearts that facts are facts and will not change

Obviously, Emperor Zhengde naturally refused to let go of Qiushou's opportunity to play wantonly. As long as there is an opportunity, he will definitely go.

But when it came to Emperor Jiajing, the situation changed again. After all, everyone knew the circumstances of Emperor Jiajing's throne. , I always feel that there is always a trace of suspicion in the eyes of others looking at me, and it is this kind of suspicion that makes Emperor Jiajing feel that there always seems to be someone secretly coveting his throne. It was spent in jealousy, he always had to determine his status, and it was always related to his status in the hearts of the ministers.

Of course, now we are not going to discuss how Emperor Jiajing fought with the ministers to win his dignity, but to say that Emperor Jiajing has no time to do such "leisure" things as autumn hunting, that is to say In the Jiajing Dynasty, during the 40-odd years, there was no such thing as Qiushou.

And later, Emperor Jiajing passed away, and the throne was passed to Emperor Longqing Zhu Zaihou. Although the things in it were different, the final outcome was almost the same. It was also because of Emperor Jiajing that the young Zhu Zaihou Zaihou can be said to have suffered a lot, and the suffering here only refers to his psychology, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Zaihou has developed many bad habits, one of which is that he is extremely fond of women.

If you want to talk about this matter, people who don't know the inside story may think it's nothing. After all, the emperor is the king of a country, and the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. As an emperor, there are 72 concubines in the Sangong and Six Courtyards, and there are so many beautiful women in the harem , and if the emperor said that he was more lustful, it might not be a bad thing. After all, the Ming royal family had always been poor in blood. If an emperor could give birth to more children, it might not be a bad thing from a certain point of view.

However, if this matter is put on Zhu Zaihou, it will be different. Zhu Zaihou is not called lewd, it is not bad. For Zhu Zaihou, no matter whether he is healthy or not, he can eat or not , that every day is full of joy without women, and the winner, even if he is sick and loses energy, even if he takes some tonics, he still has to persevere.

Both the ministers and the harem persuaded him many times on this point, but he ignored it at all. In the end, the ministers stopped asking, and in the harem, Empress Chen was originally weak and sickly, with a weak temper. She didn't ask too many things; and for Concubine Li Gui, who was still able to talk and take care of things in front of Long Qing, she didn't ask about Zhu Zaihou's matters at all. Perhaps in Li Guifei's view, Zhu Zaihou could make her give birth Two princes are enough.

In the end, the so-called causal cycle, the retribution was not good, Zhu Zaihou finally died on the woman's belly, of course, we are not here to discuss Zhu Zaihou's issue, but to say that for a person who is only "studying" in As far as the person on the woman's body is concerned, hunting in Qiushou seems to have no chance for him.

And now, after Zhu Zaihou passed away, it was Zhu Yijun's turn to sit on the throne. Zhu Yijun, who had just sat on the throne, was only ten years old. Now it has been more than a year, and he is only a little over eleven years old. Said that his father had never gone out for autumn hunting, so he naturally couldn't remember it.

Also, even a minister like Zhang Juzheng, in fact, the oldest person in the court, like Ge Shouli, was only a person who entered the official career during the Jiajing period, and naturally he has never seen such a thing as Qiushou So let them think about it, but they can't remember it.

On the other hand, Zhang Fan really has a photographic memory. In fact, the matter about Qiushou was something he saw by accident two years ago. .

"Well, Yuande, when you said that, I remembered it." Zhang Fan's words obviously reminded Zhang Juzheng. After thinking about it, Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "This idea is good. Now It seems that His Majesty has no intention of studying, and it is good to open the Autumn Hunt. Although it is said that once the Autumn Hunt is opened, the words of the Majesty must be for fun, but now it doesn't matter. Anyway, His Majesty can't read books, it's better After going out for a while, after this period of time has passed, I think His Majesty will be able to vent his anger, and when the time comes to talk about studying, he will not be so resistant." It seems that Zhang Juzheng is not the most powerful, at least He also understands some truths, entertaining while teaching. Although he doesn't have this concept, he does understand the truth.

"In this case, I have to trouble the teacher with this matter." Seeing that Zhang Juzheng also agreed, Zhang Fan said with a smile, "The Queen Mother, I will go and tell Eunuch Feng. When the time comes, I, Eunuch, and the two of us will Let’s go to the Empress Dowager together and tell the Empress Dowager, thinking about it, the Empress Dowager has nothing to refuse, but officially, I still have to ask the teacher to explain it to me. I think His Majesty must be very happy.”

"That's very good," Zhang Juzheng also smiled, "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the court recently, even if there is, the Empress Dowager will stay in the palace, anyway, I will go to write the memorial now,"

Afterwards, things went very smoothly. After Feng Bao heard Zhang Fan talk about this matter, he didn't ask too much, and he agreed directly. He went with Zhang Fan to talk about it in front of Queen Mother Li, and Queen Mother Li also understood. Recently, Zhu Yijun's mind is really not on reading. Thinking about it, the court has indeed stabilized a bit recently. Although the war in the Northeast is imminent, it is obvious that this year is not going to happen, so Queen Mother Li agreed.

As for Zhu Yijun, who was bored at first, he was very happy to see Zhang Juzheng going to the school and asked him to hunt in autumn. In fact, what Zhang Fan said about this matter was not wrong at all, and Zhu Yijun was the happiest.

Therefore, although the matter was hasty, after all, the autumn hunting matter did not need to be too delicate, the preparations were also very fast, and the date had already been finalized, and it was time to wait for the rectification team to set off.

On the afternoon before departure, Zhang Fan was asked by Zhu Yijun to go with him. When he was packing his things at home, many unexpected things happened again.
