The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Now, the end of the new year is approaching, and every household across the country is busy in order to have a good year. Obviously, this year is indeed going to be a lot better. After all, many things have happened this year. The most important thing is The thing is that Emperor Longqing passed away. Although it was only less than six years ago, it also seemed to represent the end of an era and the appearance of an era to come.

However, it is obvious that the common people will not ask about the change of power in the imperial court, and they do not have so much leisure and ability to care about these things. The common people only care about whether they can eat and clothe themselves warmly. It would be even more wonderful to ask for a daughter-in-law, build a tile-roofed house, or buy a few more acres of land or a cow for the family.

However, obviously, after living for thousands of years with people above them ruling them, the common people also understand a truth, that is, as long as the emperor dies, the year when the new emperor ascends the throne, or some queen mother or something If they are dead, then their year will be very good. There will definitely be an imperial decree such as amnesty for the world, or tax exemption and rent reduction. After all, at this time, local officials will definitely not ruin their future for some small profits in front of them, for the sake of their political achievements and the ability to earn more power and money in the future.

In the eyes of the common people, it is best if the emperor dies every year, then they will have no worries forever, but after all, these people live at the bottom of society and do not have such a long-term vision. If an emperor dies, the world does not know how chaotic it will be.

Zhang Fan has been very proud these days. Of course, it is actually because of Zhaoxue's incident. To be honest, although Zhang Fan still looked embarrassed when Chen Wenchuan agreed, but what is he thinking in his heart? Yes, I'm afraid even if he doesn't say it himself, many people can guess it roughly.

Thinking about it, how many men would be unhappy when encountering such a good thing.

It's just that Zhang Fan really didn't take it seriously at the beginning, thinking that he was beautiful in his heart, and there was no need to show off everywhere.

However, the so-called environment changes people, that’s all. Originally, Zhang Fan didn’t care much about these things. However, since he married Zhaoxue and entered the family, as long as a minister met him in the court, he would either Congratulations, or just smile at him with an ambiguous look.

At first, Zhang Fan was not used to this kind of situation, and he felt that these people were laughing at him, but it was because he couldn't say anything about it that he made them so bold.

But after going on for a while, Zhang Fan found that these people didn't stop, which made Zhang Fan feel that these people really wanted to congratulate him.

Just like this, after a long time, even Zhang Fan himself felt that he was really lucky, and he deserved to be congratulated by so many people for such a long time, so, as time passed, Zhang Fan himself became a little elated, When someone said congratulations to him, he didn't feel embarrassed anymore, but nodded his head in response.

On the other hand, Chen Wenchuan changed a bit. At the beginning, it was because they knew that he was going to marry his second daughter to Zhang Fan. Therefore, before the wedding, many people tried their best to laugh at Chen Wenchuan. up.

And at that time, Chen Wenchuan had just taken over the job of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice for a month, but because of this incident, all the praise he had accumulated in that month was wiped out. In the eyes of many people, Chen Wenchuan is a person who flatters Zhang Fan and sells his daughter for glory.

The most serious time of this kind of situation happened after Zhang Fan married Zhao Xue into the family. These people in the court took the ridicule of Chen Wenchuan to another level. Laughing or something, it has developed to the situation of reciting poems and composing Fu to specifically slander Chen Wenchuan.

Both Chen Wenchuan and Zhang Fan understood this. However, Zhang Fan did not help Chen Wenchuan, nor did he let others spread the word to restrict other officials' behavior. Zhang Fan understood that this kind of thing only It will become darker and darker. If he really does it, it will give people the appearance that there is no silver 300 taels here, and it will be even more difficult to explain clearly.

And Chen Wenchuan had the same thoughts as Zhang Fan in his heart, and that being natural was the most important thing. Otherwise, the more he argued and the more angry he was, the worse the situation would be.

Obviously, this situation changed very quickly. One reason is that these people have ridiculed them for a long time, and they have used almost eighteen kinds of martial arts, but Chen Wenchuan has never argued about it. And never cared, as if those words were not talking about him at all, and had nothing to do with him.

Secondly, it was because of Chen Wenchuan himself. Ever since he took over as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he has always been extremely impartial in his work. He has always been cautious and careful about everything and any case, lest he make a mistake due to a mistake. Decide.

Although Sun Piyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is well-known in the court for his strict punishment and accurate punishment, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment after all, and there are still many affairs in the court waiting for him to deal with every day. Things were also handed over to the left and right servants of the criminal department, the two second-in-commands, and among them, Chen Wenchuan, the left servant, was the most important, so many things, including many case files that were difficult to determine in places, were also handed over to Chen Wenchuan to decide.

And Chen Wenchuan has always been extremely cautious about this. After all, the local government can report the cases in the capital, and naturally they will not be trivial matters. Most of them are major cases involving human life lawsuits. Chen Wenchuan naturally understands this. It is not too much to be cautious, after all, it is all related to human life, and if there is a slight mistake, it is possible to judge a good person arbitrarily, and Chen Wenchuan is definitely not a person who can pretend to be fine after doing such a thing .

Also because of Chen Wenchuan's serious and responsible attitude, it took only another month, and there were nearly ten cases of unjust and wrongly resolved cases in his hands. You must know that this was in that era, and it was only by Chen Wenchuan alone. The achievements made by human efforts are incredible.

Because of this, not only did his superior Sun Piyang speak highly of Chen Wenchuan, but it also made other court ministers look at Chen Wenchuan again. Obviously, Chen Wenchuan is not a mediocre person. Fan factors are in it, but he can definitely live up to the name.

Therefore, with the emergence of Chen Wenchuan's ability, the slander against Chen Wenchuan by those people in the court naturally disappeared.

In this way, it can be regarded as a happy situation for everyone.

As for Zhang Fan, apart from being happy about it, he didn't ask about it. On the contrary, after he told the two sisters, Ruxue and Zhaoxue, they were very worried about it.

They were not worried about anything else, but worried that their father was too tired. For this reason, the two sisters often went to Chen Wenchuan's residence not far away. Apart from visiting their father, they also often comforted him. Don't concentrate too much on official duties, lest your body be happy, that would be bad.

For this, Chen Wenchuan always agreed in front of the two sisters, but almost as soon as the two sisters left, he went back to the study to read the case file. The two sisters really had nothing to do about it, so they had to three He ran there every day, and often brought some supplements and so on.

Fortunately, Chen Wenchuan has been in the army for almost 20 years. Although he is a scholar, he has not been immersed in documents during his 20 years of military career. It was very difficult at the beginning, and now, many young people can't compare with him. Besides, Chen Wenchuan is only in his forties, he is in his prime, and he is in good health. Even now that he has come to Beijing to serve as an official, Moreover, he is busy with official duties, but he does not forget to practice in the morning and evening.

Obviously, the two sisters also knew about their father's habit, so although they were worried, they were just worried, and they were not too obsessed with this matter. Moreover, it was not that the two sisters did not understand their father's stubborn temper. There was no need to bother Zhang Fan, and it was useless for anyone to know about this matter.

Speaking of Zhaoxue, it seems that after she got married to Zhang Fan, her original lively nature was revealed again. Although there were a few times, she wanted to pretend to be reserved, but obviously, Zhang Fan didn't like that kind of behavior. Zhaoxue, and when Zhaoxue found out, she no longer pretended to be herself.

Therefore, Zhaoxue became the most friendly among Zhang Fan's wives and concubines in the eyes of the servants of the Zhang family. After all, although Ruxue and Luo Linger were easy to talk to, they were really not talkative people, and there was some distance between them invisibly. As for Yingyue, it had been a long time, and she was still worrying about the fact that she was not pregnant with Zhang Fan's flesh and blood, which made it even more difficult for the servants to get close to her.

When it came to this matter, Zhaoxue decided to stand up after realizing that she was lagging behind Yingyue again. She had fallen behind too many times, but this time, she wanted to take the lead.

So, one month after entering the door, because of her ignorance, and because Zhang Fan wanted to make up for Zhaoxue because of some things in his heart, Zhaoxue couldn't get out of bed on a certain day in a month.

For this, Zhao also blamed Zhang Fan, but after learning the truth, almost everyone, including Yingyue who had been unhappy all this time, laughed, and Zhaoxue was ashamed because of this incident. It must be embarrassing.

Under this kind of anger, this year is approaching the end of the year, and the era of Wanli is coming.
