"Don't talk about that." Zhu Xuanqi shook his head. I'm not going to talk about my family anymore. Those things. He was troubled himself. Although it is nothing to mention it to an outsider like Zhang Fan. And it can also relieve the boredom in his heart. But even so. But he knew it was useless. When it's time to worry. I still have to keep worrying. "Speaking of which. They're because of what is happening now. I'm going to run back. I don't know what Mr. Zhang's plans are. ”

The prince asked Weichen what his plans were. What can Weichen plan? Now the war is on the verge of breaking out. Case. Wechen can only stay here. I can't leave until everything is settled. Zhang Fan couldn't understand why Zhu Xuanqi asked him this question for a while. So that's all he could say.

"Master Zhang is really different. I also know why the emperor was first. Even the reason why the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord will look at Lord Zhang differently today. Zhu Xuanqi said suddenly. If someone else sits in the seat of Lord Zhang. If this is the case. I'm afraid I can't avoid it for a long time. In addition, there is no order from the imperial court now. Even if I left first, no one would say anything.

"After all. Now Liu Xian is sitting here. There is also the news provided by Lord Zhang earlier. It will not be difficult to defend against those who rebel. Even now. The fighting has not yet begun. But this king also dares to guarantee. As long as Liu Xian is there. Those 20,000 or 30,000 people would never be able to set foot in Sichuan.

"But even so. It's also very dangerous here. It's a lot more dangerous than ever. If it's anyone else. I'm afraid I'd have run to a safe place long ago. Come back when it's safe to do so. Or. Just go directly to the capital. But Mr. Zhang didn't do that. Instead, he stayed.

"Speaking of which. This king has also heard some things about Lord Zhang. I heard about that year. The emperor once appointed Master Zhang as the minister of the Imperial Mission. Travel to Gangnam. Investigation of tax cases. How about the case. Speaking of which, the king doesn't care. Besides. With Mr. Zhang's ability. No matter what, it must be handy.

"But at that time. It happened that a large number of Japanese invaders had invaded. He even conquered several cities. Even the huge Suzhou Mansion could not avoid its fall. And Zhang Daren is in Yangzhou Mansion. But it's indifferent. He even personally commanded the defenders against the enemy. This one has the audacity. To be honest, if it weren't for the king's own ears. I also know that this kind of thing is indeed something that cannot be faked. Otherwise, I really wouldn't believe it.

"If it is replaced by someone like Liu Xian. The king did believe that he would do such a thing. It's not that Liu Xian is war-loving. It is simply inseparable from the war. It's that he fought all his life. Even if this happens. There's nothing to be afraid of. Stand tall and go up.

"But Master Zhang is different. After all, Lord Zhang is a civil official. It's another high-level talent in my Ming Dynasty. After joining the company. Originally, it had a great future. Even if it is not appreciated by the emperor. The future will be extraordinary. A man of great power. It must not be far off. So it seems. Master Zhang should not be a person who likes to fight. Even Lord Zhang joined Jinyiwei for some reason. But what Jin Yiwei did. It's not the same as fighting.

"But Master Zhang. Not only survived that mortal situation. It also withstood the siege of the Japanese invaders. I have always heard that General Qi led the army to come to help. So it seems. It's hard to do it. This king is mistaken. It's hard to do it. Although Mr. Zhang was born as a scholar. But in his bones, he is expected to fail to fight on the battlefield. ”

"Huh. Although what the prince said was correct. But it sounded like it was in Wechen. These things are too polite. Zhang Fan smiled. Said. "Weichen is definitely not as good as the prince said. That thing in Yangzhou. Speaking of which. Although Weichen stayed behind to resist the attack of the Japanese invaders. But it's not what Weichen thinks. After all. Weichen's family is in Yangzhou. Nothing else. You have to protect your family.

"Again. There is one thing that the prince may not know. Now Weichen told the prince. I hope that the prince will not reveal it to the public. Then. Follow Wechen's side. It's not just those people. Although Weichen is Lord Qincha. Among the people who came to Yangzhou from the capital. Wechen is the largest. But that's not actually the case. There was another person by Weichen's side at that time. Although I don't ask anything on weekdays. But his status is much higher than that of Weichen. ”

"Oh." Heard Zhang Fan say this. Zhu Xuanqi also became interested. "I don't know, Master Zhang, it's convenient to talk about it. What the hell is that person? ”

"It doesn't hurt to talk about it now." For this matter. Zhang Fan still feels a little funny when he thinks about it now. Although the DPRK and China have not said it to the outside world. However, this matter is already well known in the DPRK and China. That person was the crown prince at the time. Now it's holy. ”

Zhang Fan's words. Zhu Xuanqi felt a little surprised. But it's also a little funny. After all. Since Zhang Fan said so. Even if you don't know the cause and effect of that thing. Zhu Xuanqi could also guess that Zhu Yijun would follow Zhang Fan's side at that time. It must have not passed through Zhu Zaiyuan. Or the consent of the ministers in the court. Otherwise. The prince went down to the south of the Yangtze River. This kind of thing is bound to be announced.

And if you look at it this way. This little emperor who Zhu Xuanqi had never met before really made him feel a little different.

"I see." Zhu Xuanqi said with a smile. "Speaking of which. It turns out that I don't understand that Master Zhang is so favored. The emperor favored you. Maybe it's just because you're just entering the court at that time. There is a contradiction with Xu Jie. The emperor only needs to show you a little favor. You'll be grateful. Served the emperor. And now the new emperor has ascended the throne. You are still so reused. It turned out that he had been on good terms with the current saint since then. ”

"That's what the prince said." Zhang Fan did not deny his words. "This may only be said to be Weichen's luck. For the sake of being a friend of the Holy One before he ascended the throne. ”

Although Zhang Fan's words were very relaxed. But Zhu Xuanqi didn't see it that way. Not to mention. What he just said. Actually, I haven't said it all. What he meant. The reason why Zhu Zaiyuan reused Zhang Fan in the first place. It's just that most of the forces in the DPRK and China have already taken shape. Even if he is the emperor, he can't intervene. Case. It's better to cultivate another force by yourself. Able to influence the government. At the same time, it can also be used by the emperor.

All in all. That is to say, Zhu Zaiyuan is using Zhang Fan.

But actually. Even Zhu Xuanqi knew that this was definitely not the case. Zhu Zaiyuan really seems to have taken a fancy to Zhang Fan.

Why do you say that. Because Zhu Zaiyuan actually asked Zhang Fan to follow his heir Zhu Yijun. Reach out at that time. And it also gave rise to such a relationship of trust between the two of them, both teachers and friends. This is clearly beyond the relationship between exploitation and exploitation. It is clear that Longqing not only takes a fancy to Zhang Fan's talent. It is even more necessary to train him to become Zhu Yijun's right-hand man.

That's it. Zhu Xuanqi's views on Zhang Fan have also changed. Originally, it looked like Zhu Xuanqi. Zhang Fan is one. Talented. But at the same time, there are people of luck. Speaking of this kind of person. It's very rare, though. But it's not unusual. Look at Chaozhong. A person who can stand on the main hall where he goes to the morning pilgrimage every day. Which one is not talented. And who is not lucky?

Thus. This kind of person. It's a lot. And for Zhang Fan's opinion. Zhu Xuanqi just felt it. Zhang Fan is just one of them. Although this kind of person is a bit difficult to deal with. But he saw a lot. I don't really care about it.

But now. Through Zhang Fan's few words. Zhu Xuanqi saw something else. It seems that Zhang Fan is not just what he thought at the beginning. Talented. And people with luck. He really won the trust of the emperor. Whether it is the previous generation of Zhu Zaiyuan. is still Zhu Yijun of this generation. And it looks. Because of Zhu Zaiyuan's deliberate actions. Zhu Yijun's opinion on Zhang Fan. It's not just about trust.

That's it. Zhu Xuanqi suddenly felt. It seems like I've done something wrong. Although it will be for a while. He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. But in Zhu Xuanqi's heart. I always feel that something is wrong.

"Lord Wang. Rajah. What's wrong with you. Seeing Zhu Xuanqi silent for so long. Just there with your head down. I don't know what to think. Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm. Oh. Nothing. Just thought of something. Zhu Yijun who came back to his senses. casually found an excuse to prevaricate. "So there's this kind of thing in here. This is the first time this king has heard it. Merely. Even so. This king still doesn't understand. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was by Lord Zhang's side at that time. What does it have to do with this Lord Zhang having to stay and risk his life. ”

"Huh. It's hard to talk about. Zhang Fan suddenly showed an embarrassed smile. Said. "Wechen has never spoken to anyone. But now that the prince has asked. Wechen didn't hide anything.

"Actually. The reason why Wechen wanted to stay at that time. It's not because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is by his side. Please think about it. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very trusting of Weichen. But if Weichen did this kind of escape. Just leave the danger behind. Killing others. Even what Weichen said is true. But I'm afraid in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Weichen's timid and fearful appearance can't be changed.

"And since it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After all, he will be the emperor in the future. Make a good example for the future saints. It's my selfishness. ”
