The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"By the way, my lord, you haven't said what's the matter with coming to me so late," Nurhachi said.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Fan thought it was good. He hadn't asked yet, but he said it now, but it saved Zhang Fan a lot of work, so he said immediately: "I am indeed There are things that come to you, or rather, things that want to be asked of you,"

"I don't know if my lord has anything to ask Nurhachi, please, but it's okay to ask, Nurhachi will know everything," Nurhachi said without hesitation, after all, the first meeting between Zhang Fan and him left a very good impression on him. , let him feel that Zhang Fan is a trustworthy person, a Ming Dynasty man who is worthy of the trust of a foreigner like him, a famous official who is worthy of the trust of a foreigner like him, when Nurhachi's father and grandfather were accidentally killed by the Ming army, Nurhachi raised his eyes When he was unaccompanied, he had no intention of listening to what Zhang Fan told him at the beginning, and went to the capital of a country he was unfamiliar with to find him. It's just a polite word.

But he can no longer stay in Liaodong, not because he can't live alone, but because he has other plans, he doesn't want to stay in that sad place, even if there are relatives there, but He didn't want to stay any longer, that would only make him more sad, and the most important point, he wanted revenge. Of course, the target was not the Ming Dynasty who killed his father and grandfather, but the instigator of the whole incident in Liaodong. His enemy, Nurhachi's own grandfather, Wang Gao.

The outside world may be very complicated for a ten-year-old foreign child like him. He knows that he is likely to get lost outside, but if he stays in the ministry, then he will have no chance at all. Will suppress him in every possible way.

After the unaccompanied Nurhachi came to the capital, when he was confused by the prosperity of the largest capital in the world, he became even more confused. He saw a lot of cold eyes and indifference along the way. He was worried that Zhang Fan would not be as he said at the time. He was so eager to help himself, he was worried that once Zhang Fan knew what difficulties he had, he would immediately shut him out.

The first time he learned that Zhang Fan was not in the capital, he even thought that Zhang Fan was deliberately avoiding him, but when Zhang Fan's family warmly received him, they didn't care that he was a foreigner, and didn't even make him change. When the warm clothes and the rich food were placed in front of him, Nurhachi really wanted to cry, but he didn't, and he didn't do it out of gratitude. What would lose the dignity of a man, but his heart was already surrounded by tears at that moment.

All in all, Nurhachi was very grateful to Zhang Fan in his heart, so the sentence of knowing everything just now was not a casual answer, but an expression of his true feelings.

Zhang Fan didn't know that he thought of so much in a flash, but he saw that Nurhachi was so cooperative, so he didn't say anything more, and asked directly: "You have been with Jun'er recently, he really put you As best friends, but, can you tell me what he is thankful for recently, "

Zhang Fan's question made Nurhachi, who was planning to "know everything without saying anything", silent. He knew the whole story, but he couldn't answer why, it was very simple, because of the word "friend".

To Nurhachi, Zhang Fan is not only his savior, but more like his father. Nurhachi only has infinite gratitude and admiration for Zhang Fan in his heart, but Zhu Yijun, that is the first time he met outside friend.

Speaking of which, Zhu Yijun felt a little strange to Nurhachi. As the heir of a country, he was not as proud and domineering as the children of those headmen in his tribe that Nurhachi had seen, as if his father and grandfather were the leaders of the tribe. People are because they are usually so proud. Nurhaci's grandfather was also a leader, but he never felt proud. Instead, he always had some panic. Words and deeds must be decent, maybe in the future, I will sit in that position, and that means that I will bear a huge responsibility.

And when he met Zhu Yijun, he found that Zhu Yijun didn't like being the child of the "leader" of Ming Dynasty very much. He felt that Zhu Yijun's father was in charge of such a large land, so once the burden fell on Zhu Yijun in the future, then It will mean a greater responsibility, and he thinks that Zhu Yijun is so unhappy to be the heir because of this, and this, he thinks that Zhu Yijun is very similar to himself, although the reason why Zhu Yijun doesn't like it is just his identity There are too many constraints, Zhu Yijun can't play freely, but Nurhachi doesn't know this.

Although Nurhachi doesn't dislike Zhu Yijun in this aspect, they are from two ethnic groups after all, and they still have differences in some aspects, especially when he asked what Zhu Yijun is good at, the answer he got turned out to be When the word "study" was mentioned, Nurhachi immediately felt contempt for Zhu Yijun.

And when Nurhachi performed his martial arts in front of the Ming prince who was weak both inside and outside, and wanted to show off himself or humiliate Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun didn't show any dissatisfaction or disdain, or desperate for face. Insisting himself to perform martial arts or something, Zhu Yijun became interested in Nurhachi being so "strong" at such a young age, and even Zhu Yijun gave a high evaluation of the entire Jurchen tribe. This kind of reaction made Nurhachi feel While being surprised, it also made him feel ashamed. For the fact that he showed off so much and wanted to humiliate others, but others were not ashamed at all, and instead praised him. For the first time in his life, Nurhachi felt guilty. Zhu Yijun's mutual appreciation, he began to feel that what Zhu Yijun read was not useless books, he felt that those books gave Zhu Yijun a sense of tolerance, and although this kind of tolerance is not uncommon in their clan, only those who are the oldest Only those with wisdom can show it at all times, but Nurhachi saw this kind of thing in Zhu Yijun, an eight-year-old child, which made him very surprised and ashamed.

He began to re-examine Zhu Yijun, and found that he was a person worthy of association as his Ama and Mafa (grandfather) had said to him. At the same time, he also began to re-examine this seemingly weak Ming Dynasty that emphasized culture over military affairs. , and then he began to discover that this people, this land, was invincible, that they were rich; As the saying goes, "Those who are stunned are afraid of being violent, and those who are arrogant are afraid of dying." Although it sounds very vulgar, it is precisely this kind of vulgarity that illustrates this point well.

Therefore, he began to really regard Zhu Yijun as his friend. When playing together, he would give Zhu Yijun some martial arts. But he never laughed at him. Instead, he admired his perseverance and taught him patiently. Zhu Yijun would teach Nurhachi to read and write in person. Compared with those lecturers, even Zhang Fan taught him better. Patience, and Zhu Yijun, like him, never laughed at Nurhachi for not being able to learn characters immediately, and he still taught him patiently, which made him very grateful. Of course, because of this incident, Nurhachi became the most authentic in the future. The emperor's disciples are envied by others, which will not be mentioned for the time being.

In this way, the two became very good friends, inseparable friends, sometimes this kind of childhood friend, this kind of friend made in the purest heart, but the most unbreakable bond, It can even affect a person's life.

Anyway, the two now regard each other as close friends, but Zhang Fan is now asking Nurhachi to tell something about his friend, although Nurhachi, who is familiar with the incident, feels that what happened these days is not a big deal, There is nothing wrong with it, but Zhu Yijun once told him not to tell others, and Zhang Fan's request now seems to him to be to betray his best friend.

Therefore, Nurhachi, a ten-year-old Jurchen child, is now confused. He doesn't know what to do now. If Nurhachi encountered such a problem before, he would definitely answer Zhang Fan's question without thinking. After all, for him in the past, elders were respected. Even Zhu Yijun, his best friend, would immediately tell the story of what happened when asked by Zhang Fan, an elder.

But when he learned something about culture, some things about integrity, and after he read some books and made friends like Zhu Yijun, Nurhachi found that his concept had changed, and he couldn't think about it anymore. He didn't want to answer Zhang Fan's question, which gave him a feeling that "loyalty and filial piety can't be both". Although the description may be a bit wrong, but for Nurhachi today, he can only think of this.

Shaking his head, Nurhachi looked into Zhang Fan's eyes and said, "My lord, I'm afraid... I can't tell you what happened, but please rest assured, my lord, it's not a big deal, and His Royal Highness won't have anything to do with him." inappropriate,"

Zhang Fan was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Even if it's really not a big deal, I only asked you because I cared about Jun'er, and why didn't you tell me? It's for Jun'er's good."

But Nurhachi shook his head and said: "Your Highness is my good friend. For a friend, what is important is not only loyalty, but also keeping promises. I promised Your Highness that I will not mention this matter to anyone, including adults. , then I will never say it, this is a man's promise, and I will never betray my friend, "

Hearing what he said, Zhang Fan felt that his head was getting bigger again. It seemed that he had to work harder to get this stubborn Nurhachi to speak.
