The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

With Zhang Juzheng's change, the atmosphere in the court changed again in a short while. The tense atmosphere in the court has disappeared now. It seems that the situation in the court has returned to At the beginning, when Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant, the ministers tried their best to assist the emperor in managing the world, and what the ministers did was only management, and they did not have exclusive power. I didn't feel a little bit about the things I did, and even in the eyes of the emperor, as long as the courtiers were really loyal to govern the world for the emperor, even if the emperor didn't care about things, there was no problem in entrusting all the power to them.

Of course, this is an ideal state, and it is very difficult to realize it. For now, it is only infinitely close to this ideal state in terms of distance. If we really want to achieve it, That's still a long way off.

Not to mention, in fact, nowadays, there are very few people who can form this kind of relationship with Zhu Yijun. Zhang Fan is one, Zhang Juzheng has just become such a person, and the few people in the cabinet are almost all However, apart from these people, even Zhu Yijun, who is not very experienced, knows that other people look good, but they are actually unreliable.

I want to explain this point. Zhu Yijun didn't see it himself, but learned it through Zhang Fan. After all, Jin Yiwei is full-time for this, and Zhang Fan is on weekdays. Interesting things tell him, but these interesting things are not just interesting, there are many different things, for example, what did the person in the court do behind the scenes, or what did he say? Different words and such.

To be honest, the things that Zhang Fan said really opened Zhu Yijun's eyes, for example, the things that the people in the court drove out behind the scenes, some things really make people feel funny , and some things are really surprising, as far as Zhu Yijun looks, there are many names of people he is familiar with, but these people, at least the things Zhang Fan told him, really made him feel It's dumbfounding.

What's more, some people, what they do behind the scenes is completely different from his usual performance, and they are two completely opposite people. This kind of thing really opened Zhu Yijun's eyes, and it also opened his eyes. I was very surprised. Speaking of which, Zhu Yijun didn't go out too often, so his knowledge of the outside world was actually completely through Zhang Fan. Only Zhang Fan would tell him what was really going on outside, not other people. The great things he said.

Among the things that Zhu Yijun has heard, in fact, it is only in some historical allusions that this is the kind of person who has heard of this kind of high-sounding, one thing on the outside and one thing on the inside, but Zhu Yijun really never thought of it. , right beside him, among the people he would meet every day at court, there was actually such a thing that he had only heard about in stories before, which really made Zhu Yijun feel a little incredible.

But while Zhu Yijun was surprised by this, it also made Zhu Yijun understand some things. He understood that people really can't look at the surface. As I said before, Zhang Fan taught Zhu Yijun how to recognize people. In fact, in this case Regarding things, Zhu Yijun didn't feel nothing at all.

In fact, those people Zhang Fan mentioned, in fact, Zhu Yijun has some feelings in his heart. At least when he sees these people in the court, he always feels that there is something wrong with these people, but he He didn't know the reason, and now Zhu Yijun knew the source of his unnatural feeling, but even so, maybe it was because the truth was so far from what he had imagined, so the shock also came. In the end.

Perhaps, as an emperor, it is very normal to know that his subjects have this kind of situation, but after all, Zhu Yijun has not been involved in the world deeply, and he has not been in touch with court affairs for a long time, so this will be a matter of time after he just learned about it. So shocked, which is no surprise.

And after learning about these things from Zhang Fan, Zhu Yijun's thinking has really changed a lot. What hadn't been thought of before telling him these things was very different.

However, Zhu Yijun's ability to accept is also very strong. Although this matter is completely different from what he imagined before, and he was very surprised by it, but after thinking about it carefully, after thinking about it, Zhu Yijun also Not too surprised.

Of course, this matter doesn’t mean that it’s going up or that it’s out, and Zhu Yijun can figure it out. Zhang Fan will tell Zhu Yijun about this matter. The main problem is that after Zhang Juzheng’s incident, maybe for the For Zhu Yijun, it was a good thing, but in fact, Zhu Yijun was getting more and more confused about what was going on with those people in the court.

Perhaps for him, this kind of situation of saying one thing and doing another is still a little strange, although he can indeed see all the people in the court at a glance while sitting on the dragon chair, even for Zhu Yijun, he Now I can tell whether these people are telling the truth or lying when they are talking to me, but even so, sometimes Zhu Yijun still can't figure it out, it's not that he can't see clearly, but he can't understand Why are these people doing this.

Zhu Yijun is not an emperor who really doesn't understand anything, he also understands a lot of truths, if someone in the court does this kind of thing that says one thing and does another, then it is very simple, no matter what he does, There must be a reason why he would do this, for example, for money, or because of some inseparable relationship, or even being threatened by someone, etc. Of course, the most important things are nothing more than these kinds of things .

However, some people, even after Zhang Fan told him, Zhu Yijun still couldn't figure out why, and he also understood that there are naturally thousands of reasons for this, and there is not necessarily only one kind of reason. , but the problem is that sometimes this kind of reason really makes people feel a little unreasonable, even unreasonable to the point of being ridiculous.

Before that, even earlier than when Zhang Juzheng fell ill this time, Zhu Yijun had already consulted Zhang Fan about this matter. After retiring from the court, Zhu Yijun would immediately ask Zhang Fan about the situation.

As for the questions Zhu Yijun raised, Zhang Fan would naturally tell him everything he knew. Moreover, this kind of thing was originally his job as the commander of Jinyiwei, so there was nothing to say. Compared with talking about the big truths to Zhu Yijun, it is much easier to tell him these practical things.

After all, those great principles, even if everyone understands them, can come at hand at any time, but even so, Zhang Fan still needs to think carefully about how to say certain things, or whether he can tell Zhu Yijun about certain things of.

But Zhang Fan doesn't need to think about these things. After all, these are actual things. As long as Jin Yiwei finds out and Zhang Fan knows it now, he can immediately tell Zhu Yijun that there is no need to think about it, it's simple. Yes, just tell the truth.

Of course, to be honest, Zhang Fan can’t just tell Zhu Yijun everything about a certain person that Zhu Yijun asked about. In short, this is the way. Although it is telling the truth, it does not know everything.

And in this way, Zhu Yijun also understands, and more often, Zhu Yijun actually feels that what he found is not wrong, and the person he thinks has a problem is indeed a problem, but, There are still some differences here. Although Zhu Yijun knew that he was right and that there was definitely something wrong with that person, he never thought that the reason would be what Zhang Fan told him.

For example, let's say another time, after Zhu Yijun went to the court, he just saw Zhang Fan in the palace and asked him about what he had just discovered in the court.

In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that a few controls came out towards the center, and someone wanted to push people up.

In fact, this kind of thing has always been fiercely contested, no matter whether the position is important or not, but for the people in the court, as long as they can squeeze their own people into it, then they will win, of course , Recommending others, this kind of thing has always been a very troublesome thing in the court, and it involves the most things.

Some are because they received benefits from other people. Of course, this benefit is not collected randomly. It doesn’t mean that no matter who you are, as long as you have money and stuffed money, these people in the court dare to recommend it, no matter what. At the very least, you still have to meet the basic requirements, otherwise you will not be qualified at all. Of course, nowadays, because of the "Testing Law", coupled with Jinyiwei and Dongchang's control over these things, it is relatively difficult now. Strict, so, in fact, money can only account for a small part of today's benefits, and most of them have actually used money as the most helpless solution today, so each Benefits follow.

Of course, this is just that these people are self-righteous, thinking that what they are giving is not money or valuable things, so it is not considered to be accepting bribes, but in fact, this kind of thing is more powerful than accepting bribes correct.

For example, some authentic paintings and calligraphy, this kind of thing is really difficult to judge, if it is only measured by the silver it can be exchanged for, of course it is very valuable, but if someone asks, it is entirely possible to say , This is the gentleman's friendship between them, and this is also the exchange between literati and inkmen. Even those masterpieces that have left their names in history, for them, they will not be measured by money.

But this kind of thing, I am afraid that if they really say it, they may not believe it themselves. Besides, if Jinyiwei or Dongchang will be fooled by this kind of reason, then...

In short, speaking for others is naturally beneficial.

And if there is no benefit, then it will be another situation. I am afraid that some more terrible things are involved. Yu, some even dared to threaten others with their lives. This kind of thing sounds unbelievable in the court, but in fact, Zhang Fan has seen too many such things over the years. up.

In the face of this kind of thing, Jin Yiwei is not silent, but what they will do, and even whether they will do it, in the final analysis, it still depends on the standards they have set.

Of course, Zhang Fan would not tell Zhu Yijun about this kind of reason, even if Zhu Yijun is not in power now, but if the emperor knows that among his courtiers, there are still people who dare to do such a thing that threatens others, This will definitely not be good news, and it will definitely have a far-reaching impact on the future.

And there is another reason, there is no exchange of money or any other form of benefits, and there is no threat in it, but even if there is no such aspect, it can still be seen that these people Highly recommend someone.

If this is the case, then it will be more interesting. Some, it is only because of private relationships, such as friends, or even family members.

In this case, it is a bit troublesome. Although it is said that "external promotion does not avoid suspicion, and internal promotion does not avoid relatives", how many people can do it? It’s okay to say; even if it’s a mediocre one who comes to fool around, that can be justified, but if it’s not only impossible to do things, but even cause trouble, then that’s not good up.

However, all in all, if it is only because of the relationship that it is recommended so hard, although this kind of thing is troublesome, it is not a big trouble.

But now, the relationship between the court and China is very complicated. Although it is said that Zhang Juzheng is in charge of the court, one must know that Zhang Juzheng is not the emperor, and he needs many people to support him.

And even though Zhang Juzheng is the most powerful in the court, it doesn't mean that the people below don't want to unite, and the way these people unite is naturally to pull other people who have a good relationship with him to come up, and then, they Then slowly develop your own power until it grows stronger in the end.

This kind of situation is very normal, but at the same time, it is also the most troublesome thing, especially, it will be very difficult to abolish these people once they form forces in the future, so However, once you discover this kind of recommendation that does not involve any benefits or threats, then you must deal with it very carefully.

Of course, I am talking about being careful, but in fact, what should be done is a difficult thing to do. If the rejection is too obvious, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble; but if it is vague, I am afraid that the other party will make an inch. , In fact, even Zhang Fan himself is not very clear about this kind of thing, and there is no good way to completely deal with this situation. We can only look at it when the time comes. Therefore, it is very troublesome to talk to Zhu Yijun .

But the situation encountered this time is very interesting, not for anything else, just because this time, this person will strongly recommend a person, not because of money, because no matter how Jin Yiwei checks, he is really something I have never received any benefits. As for being threatened, it is impossible. Even if there is, if even Zhang Fan cannot be found, then there is really nothing. If you find a few companions in the middle and develop your power, you will not be able to match them at all.

After the last investigation, I realized that the reason why this person recommended so vigorously was because of his family. It turned out that the relationship was not without it, but it could be traced back to his wife's hometown. That man is from his wife's hometown, and he is actually a distant one, but just because this man's wife really wants to save face, someone from his hometown came to the door, and after looking at it, she is also qualified, so She encouraged this person and tried her best to promote him in the court, but unfortunately, this person is still a fear of internal affairs and can't afford to offend the Hedong lion at home, so in the end this is what happened.

This incident, perhaps as a joke after dinner, is really very funny, not to mention that even Zhu Yijun found it very funny after hearing it.

But after this, I can understand that not everything is like this, sometimes, you still have to be very careful, otherwise, you don't know when you will get stuck.

In fact, things in the court today are basically the same. The most important thing is that Zhang Juzheng's change has really changed many things in the court. For Zhu Yijun, This change is of course beneficial to him, and he is naturally happy.

However, in fact, this was just a moment of joy, because in the tenth year of Wanli, which was also the year when Zhu Yijun was in charge, something happened, which caused Zhu Yijun a headache.

The tenth year of Wanli was when Zhu Yijun was in charge. At the same time, it was also the year when Zhu Yijun was 20 years old. In this year, Zhu Yijun not only entered the year of weak crown, but more importantly, as an emperor, he already had the heir.

That's right, Zhu Yijun has a son, and the matter of this son is why Zhu Yijun is so troubled now,
