The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

The Sutra Banquet has already started. Although it cannot be said that everyone is jubilant, it is a big event after all. It is a great event to be happy about. In the past two months, the Sutra Banquet has been held every month as usual. Zhu Yijun is still young, although Zhu Yijun is not yet in power, and although the Jingyan has only been held for two months, there has not been any great improvement in the government, but in the eyes of many people, Especially in the minds of those ministers with good wishes, a prosperous scene has appeared in which the world is enlightened, all people return to their hearts, and all nations come to court. This is naturally something to be happy about.

During this period of time, Zhang Fan really has nothing to do, even more leisure than before. Some time ago, before the sutra feast, Zhang Fan had to go to the Qianqing Palace every morning after the morning court. Zhu Yijun is teaching, and now that the banquet has already started, even this part will be exempted, but if Zhang Fan doesn't go, it doesn't mean that Zhu Yijun won't summon him.

Zhu Yijun summoned Zhang Fan to go, not just to relieve boredom, but to have a serious business.

In other words, in order to avoid Feng Bao's troubles, Zhu Yijun turned his attention to Jingyan, and gradually, he found that as long as he was familiar with it, he could take this matter as an opportunity to relax himself. After two months, Zhu Yijun gradually got used to this kind of thing, and gradually became able to enjoy the feast like a fish in water. Zhang Juzheng was also very relieved by this.

Moreover, Zhang Fan can clearly feel that Zhang Juzheng's goal is very close. After these two months, Zhu Yijun has also undergone many changes. It is indeed more respectful, among other things, Zhang Fan can tell just from the change in the tone of the address "Mr. Zhang".

Because Zhu Yijun found interest in this aspect, he began to think about how he should keep Feng Bao out of his sight longer.

Of course, this matter is also related to the Jingyan. Although there is no regulation in the rules, there were such examples in the Ming Dynasty in the past. The emperor was very attentive and interested in the Jingyan, and gradually he could no longer satisfy the monthly There were three fixed lectures, so the Xiaojingyan was born. This Xiaojingyan was called Jingyan, and it was actually similar to when Zhang Fan usually taught Zhu Yijun.

However, although the small Jingyan is called Jingyan, there are not as many rules as the big Jingyan, and when there are few people, the emperor can be a little more casual. The most important thing is that Zhang Juzheng is basically the only one present. Speaking of officials, there is no need to pay too much attention to etiquette, and at this time, Zhang Juzheng will not be as serious as he is on the Jingyan.

Now, there is a small sutra feast once every three days, and the bigger one will continue with the usual plot, and then there will be this big sutra feast in less than three months, and Zhu Yijun gradually likes this kind of thing, even the small sutra feast is still a thing of the past. It was not Zhang Juzheng's request, but Zhu Yijun's own decision.

Ever since, a problem has arisen here. On top of the big point of Jingyan, although what the officials said is very straightforward and easy to understand, it is not clear whether the emperor understands it or not. Know, and, above the big point, it is not easy to ask directly.

So when it was time for the Xiaojingyan, Zhang Juzheng would ask Zhu Yijun some questions to see if he understood. Although Zhu Yijun is smart and eager to learn, and what he listens to is easy to understand, there are always mistakes. Yes, after all, for a child who is only ten years old, it is really difficult to talk about these great principles all day long and let him understand the essence.

And whenever Zhang Juzheng asked questions, but Zhu Yijun couldn't answer, that was when Zhu Yijun was most troubled. Zhang Juzheng would always reprimand him, and he was very harsh, but Zhu Yijun had no way to refute anything. What he said were all big principles, and Zhang Juzheng also made up his mind on all these big principles, and Zhu Yijun didn't allow the slightest chance to refute.

But even so, Zhu Yijun was helpless. The "business" he asked Zhang Fanlai to do was to help him with his lessons.

In a word, Zhu Yijun can be regarded as a fish in water in front of Zhang Juzheng now, and Zhang Juzheng is very relieved that Zhu Yijun is so "eager to learn", and he often praises Zhu Yijun in front of Queen Mother Li, which makes Zhu Yijun very happy proud.

But regarding this point, Zhang Fan could only smile helplessly in front of Zhu Yijun, and say a few words of compliment. What kind of person is Zhang Ju, although his official career is extremely open, because of Xu Jie's appreciation, he started from a concubine. This kind of trainee official directly entered the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and then became a guest secretary of Yuwangfu, and then directly joined the cabinet. Zhang Juzheng's official career can be said to have reached the sky in one step, but such a magnanimous official career path did not mean that Zhang Juzheng He didn't know the ways of the world, and he didn't understand the sinister truth of the human heart. On the contrary, because of Xu Jie's reasons, and the various things that Zhu Zaihou, who was a desire, encountered at that time, Zhang Juzheng adopted a cold-eyed attitude and looked at everything from the sidelines. In the eyes, the heart is very clear.

So, not to mention these small tricks played by Zhu Yijun today, even the old foxes in the court who are older than him may not be able to fool Zhang Juzheng's eyes, so even Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun are both Not to mention, he also understood what happened when Zhu Yijun suddenly became proficient. About this point, although Zhang Fan did not personally ask Zhang Juzheng for verification, Zhang Fan could also see it.

However, Zhang Juzheng obviously didn't intend to tell the truth. In his opinion, no matter who explained it to Zhu Yijun, the most important point is that Zhu Yijun has fully understood the ways of governing the country, and in Zhang Juzheng's view, Zhu Yijun's prestige towards him is becoming more and more serious. , Zhang Juzheng himself is becoming more and more respected, this is what Zhang Juzheng really wants to see, and the others don't matter.

In short, everything is safe and sound now. After the matter of Minister Wang, Feng Bao did not do anything to those people in the court who had a relationship with Feng Bao. It was just to make him feel better, but it did not What practical liquidation matter.

In a word, the current court can be regarded as truly calm.

In November, the weather is gradually getting colder. Zhang Fan's two children, Zhang Yanyi and Zhang Yanyue, also celebrated their first birthday. For this reason, the Zhang family has been lively for quite a while. It was very festive. At the banquet, Zhang Fan also invited many officials from the court, and the arrival of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, two people who are indeed in power in the court today, made the banquet even more exciting. Not a lot.

It is also strange to say that there are not many times when the ministers of the DPRK and China hold banquets and entertain the officials of the DPRK and China, but many times, even on this occasion, the factors of disagreement will continue to exist, people who are not used to each other The cold eyes and ridicule between them also always exist.

But unfortunately, only at the banquet held by Zhang Fan, the officials in the court were able to temporarily put aside their past suspicions and chatted and laughed with each other. This has to be said to be a very strange thing. If you ask anyone, no one can tell why, but it is the way it is.

That banquet was quite a sight. Now that Zhu Yijun is the emperor, this kind of scene cannot be at will. After all, it is the birthday of the minister’s children. If the emperor also comes on such an occasion, it will indeed bring Zhang Fan a lot. Glory, but I'm afraid there will be some disasters, which Zhu Yijun doesn't want to see.

But Zhu Yijun's failure to come doesn't mean he doesn't care. He sent people to send a lot of things, and even bestowed a title on Zhang Yanyi, who is only one year old now. It can be regarded as an incomparable honor.

However, there were interesting things that happened that day. When the child was one year old, he had to wait a week to predict the child's future achievements, etc. Zhang Fan's family is now rich, and there are a lot of things to prepare. Under the attention of his family and many ministers, Zhang Yanyi did not disappoint, he was the first to hold the seal in his hand, and with the seal in his hand, the so-called future official fortune will be prosperous.

But just when everyone was about to congratulate, Zhang Yanyi grabbed the pen and stationery in his hand again, and he would definitely be able to write a beautiful article in the future. The three yuan and the first, this time it can be regarded as a smile to the Zhao family The little guy stopped talking from ear to ear, but the little guy still seemed dissatisfied. He picked up a book again in his little hand. Books are naturally a must. Just when everyone was about to congratulate, they found out that they didn’t know who it was. A copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War was placed there, and it was this Art of War that Zhang Yanyi was holding.

Hehe, everyone is a little confused now, well, the official luck is prosperous, the talents are prosperous, and in the future he will lead the army, he is really unparalleled in civil and military affairs.

And the little girl Zhang Yanyue is not far behind, she dismisses things like scissors, shovels and spoons, and holds an ink stick in her hand. Fan, the number one scholar in Lianzhong Sanyuan, even though Ru Xue is a prostitute, her reputation for talent and learning has already been well-known.

Such a scene is truly a blessing.

What made Zhang Fan most happy was that Luo Ling'er was also pregnant recently. It seemed that his "effort" was really not in vain. For this, Zhang Fan and Zhao were very happy, even Ru Xue was also very happy. There were only two of them, Yingyue was a little unhappy about it, and Zhaoxue, who had been quiet these days, became even more angry when she heard the news.

Of course Ru Xue discovered this, but she just mentioned this matter, another matter also happened, and Zhang Fan had to focus on this,
