Chapter 562: Companion Like a Tiger
"In this way, the mourning family looks good," after listening to the narrative of Zhang Juzheng and others, the Empress Dowager Li finally made a ruling, although it is still not certain whether to implement the "examination law" proposed by Zhang Juzheng to reform the rule of officials in the court, but according to what the Empress Dowager Li said, coupled with his trust in Zhang Juzheng, I think there will be no problem in the future, "I don't know what the emperor thinks," but even so, the Empress Dowager Li still asked Zhu Yijun, who was sitting next to her, it seems, Empress Dowager Li is indeed very concerned about Zhu Yijun, even if she is the one who holds the power now, or she should be worried that Zhu Yijun will seize power from her hands one day in the future, but she is still the same.
"This ......" Zhu Yijun was confused when he heard Empress Dowager Li ask.
In fact, just now, what Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li were discussing, he heard it clearly, and even he was listening very carefully, and he didn't miss anything, after all, since this matter is a major matter related to the imperial court, and both Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan are people that Zhu Yijun trusts very much, especially Zhang Fan, since he is also on Zhang Juzheng's side, and also helps Zhang Juzheng speak, then this is enough for Zhu Yijun, he believes that Zhang Fan will never deceive and harm himself, As long as it is a decision made by Zhang Fan, even if it is not a good thing, it will definitely not bring any bad things to him and Daming.
Since he already believes in Zhang Fan unconditionally, he also agrees with what they say, but this does not mean that Zhu Yijun has no brains at all, or that his trust in Zhang Fan has been so blind that he doesn't need to think about it at all, as long as Zhang Fan says what he says.
And things are just the opposite, it is precisely because he has a lot of trust in Zhang Fan, so no matter what Zhang Fan says, this is correct in Zhu Yijun's view, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Yijun has always regarded Zhang Fan as his husband and has always wanted to learn a lot from him, plus Zhang Fan has never hidden anything from Zhu Yijun, which makes Zhu Yijun feel that he is reliable.
Therefore, no matter what the topic, as long as Zhang Fan is involved, especially now, what Zhang Fan agrees with, Zhu Yijun will definitely listen carefully and carefully, word by word, Zhu Yijun is indeed smart, but he has not yet reached the point of being intelligent, he needs to understand and scrutinize carefully, so that he can fully understand what Zhang Fan wants to say.
This is the case now, and now, the reason why Zhu Yijun is troubled and confused is precisely because he listened carefully.
It's not that Zhang Juzheng and others put forward things that are so difficult to understand, these things are very simple, Zhu Yijun can naturally understand, and he also knows that if he does this, it will indeed be good for the imperial court, but now Zhu Yijun is still entangled in what Zhang Fan told him before, why he has been educated since childhood, and while he abides by it when he grows up, he must let different ideas continue to exist.
"Emperor, but what's the problem," Seeing that Zhu Yijun hesitated and refused to answer, Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but ask.
"No, Erchen has no doubt in his heart," Zhu Yijun hurriedly replied, "What Mr. Zhang mentioned is naturally very good, so those ill-intentioned ministers in the court are naturally much more restrained, Mr. Zhang's proposal, Erchen agreed,"
"That's good," seeing that Zhu Yijun agreed, Empress Dowager Li didn't say anything anymore, she didn't see the puzzled expression on Zhu Yijun's face, but she also knew that first, now is indeed not the right place and time to explain these things to him, and second, in her opinion, some things still have to be thought about by Zhu Yijun himself, after all, Zhu Yijun is still young now, and it is normal for him to have some doubts in his heart, besides, this is not something that will lead him astray, It doesn't hurt to let him figure it out on his own.
Moreover, Empress Dowager Li also knew that Zhu Yijun was not a child who was stubbornly drilling, and if he had any doubts, he would naturally ask others for advice.
Of course, the person mentioned here, Empress Dowager Li also understands that it may be either Zhang Juzheng or Zhang Fan, and these two people will not come out, and Empress Dowager Li also knows that there will be a lot of possibilities for Zhu Yijun to find Zhang Fan for verification, so she couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan who was standing in front of her.
Zhang Fan naturally saw Empress Dowager Li's gaze shooting at him, and he also bowed gently, indicating that he had understood.
"In this case," Empress Dowager Li spoke, "It seems that Zhang Qing's family's method is indeed good, but after all, reforming the rule of officials in the DPRK and China is a major matter, and this matter must not be sloppy, otherwise there will be some big mess in the future, and it will be troublesome,"
"Weichen understands in his heart," Zhang Juzheng immediately said.
"Well, since it's already decided, but it's not yet time to issue the decree," Empress Dowager Li said, "So, Zhang Qing's family, after you go back, think about it carefully, and see if there are any other places and gaps, or who else thinks of ways to exploit loopholes, in short, those people below want to come to Zhang Qing's house much more clearly than the Mourning family, and some things will really be unscrupulous,"
"Wei Chen understands this," Zhang Juzheng replied, "After Wei Chen goes back, he will naturally have to think about it, so that this 'test method' can be perfected,"
"Well," Empress Dowager Li nodded, then looked at Feng Bao and Zhang Fan next to her, and said, "Feng Bao and Zhang Qing's family are also very shrewd about some methods, if you encounter any trouble, bother the two of them, Feng Bao and Zhang Qing's family, if Lord Zhang needs your two to help with something, you must go all out, understand?"
"Weichen (slave) understands," Zhang Fan and Feng Bao also agreed immediately.
In fact, it is a bit of a superfluous move for Empress Dowager Li to say this, Zhang Fan and Feng Bao have already decided to help Zhang Juzheng with this favor, Zhang Fan understands what the point of doing this is, and Feng Bao has long been tied to Zhang Juzheng, so he naturally will not help.
"In this case, now that noon is approaching, the mourning family is going back to the palace," Empress Dowager Li said, and then stood up, "Feng Bao, although the mourning family is back to the palace,"
"Erchen (Weichen) sends off the Queen Mother," Zhu Yijun, Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng hurriedly saluted the Empress Dowager Li.
"Mr. Zhang," after Empress Dowager Li left, Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Juzheng, "I don't know today's feast ......."
"Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive Weichen's sins," Zhang Juzheng said, "Your Majesty also heard the Queen Mother's words just now, and Weichen has to go back to ponder and ponder,"
"Well," nodded and Zhu Yijun said, "In that case, please also ask Taifu to return to the palace with me,"
With Zhu Yijun returning to the Qianqing Palace together, to be honest, Zhang Fan was thinking about how to tell Zhu Yijun all the way, he naturally knew what Zhu Yijun wanted him to come with him for, this is not like Zhu Yijun on weekdays, but he just wanted Zhang Fan to tell him a story to relieve his boredom, or asked Zhang Fan to help him answer some things in books to deal with Zhang Juzheng, at this moment Zhu Yijun really had some questions in his heart, and it was a question he wanted to solve.
Zhu Yijun is not very old, he doesn't understand a lot of things, and he can't be like those ministers in the court, even if there is any problem, he won't say it, but put it in his stomach and go back to think about it slowly, but Zhu Yijun won't, and after all, he used to be the crown prince and now the Ming Emperor, even if he doesn't have any power now, but the ministers below still have to be respectful to him, if he has any questions, he just needs to find someone to ask, Even if he may ask some questions that the minister can't answer to him, but he is the emperor after all, since the minister has been asked by the emperor, then they are obliged to answer, so even if it is not good, Zhu Yijun can get an answer that makes him feel acceptable, which can help him calm the doubts in his heart.
And now, the ministers have become only one minister, Zhang Fan, and the reason is even simpler, although Zhu Yijun is young, he is not a talented ghost, but he is not stupid, he can see if people have something to deliberately deceive him, and he also knows that Zhang Fan will not, if there is indeed something that Zhang Fan can't say to Zhu Yijun, then he won't say it, unless Zhu Yijun insists on asking him, but Zhang Fan has never deceived Zhu Yijun, Even everything Zhang Fan told Zhu Yijun before, Zhu Yijun has verified.
At that time, Zhu Yijun didn't have the trust in Zhang Fan as much as he does now, and he couldn't believe him so completely now, but after a while, when Zhu Yijun found out that everything Zhang Fan told him was true, Zhu Yijun began to think that Zhang Fan was a person who would never deceive himself.
This is why, no matter what questions Zhu Yijun has in his heart today, the first person he wants to ask is not his mother, nor Mr. Zhang, whom he respects, or anyone else, the first thing he thinks of is Zhang Fan.
And one point, Zhu Yijun's actions will not be hidden, and he never wants to hide anything, and it is precisely because of this that the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and even local officials at all levels, all understand that Zhang Fan is a well-deserved celebrity today, and Zhang Fan's career will be smoother and soaring after Zhu Yijun is in power in the future.
However, this is actually very dangerous, not to mention the truth that everyone understands, a companion is like a tiger, people also understand that the higher you climb, but if you stumble a little, the worse you will fall, not even a single bone.
This is also exactly, although many people envy Zhang Fan's situation now, but there are really not many people who will be jealous of Zhang Fan, or want to trouble Zhang Fan or something, they understand that even if Zhang Fan really has any trouble, it will not be his turn to go up in the future, and many people see Zhang Fan at the same time, they also have a good look of watching a good show in private, and want to see how Zhang Fan will be "miserable" in the future.
These are just external, and for Zhang Fan himself, danger is also everywhere.
Now, Zhu Yijun's trust in Zhang Fan is not just as simple as it seems, it is a complete trust, Zhu Yijun completely believes in Zhang Fan, whether it is what he says or what Zhang Fan does, Zhu Yijun believes it all.
And in this way, Zhang Fan fell into a situation where he could not retreat, from now on, he either didn't say it, or he couldn't deceive Zhu Yijun, and even in the future, with Zhu Yijun's power growing, Zhang Fan didn't even have the power to keep his mouth shut, and at that time, Zhang Fan couldn't deceive Zhu Yijun anything.
For a person who completely believes in Zhang Fan, the biggest betrayal to him is undoubtedly related to letting him know that Zhang Fan, who has always believed in him, will one day start to hide something from him.
If that day really comes, Zhang Fan will be quite dangerous, after all, everyone knows that the sudden betrayal is from a person who he once believed in, that feeling is enough to make people lose faith and reason in an instant, and for an emperor with real power in his hands, there is no need to elaborate on this kind of thing, as long as you think about it in your mind, you can understand how terrible it will be.
For Zhang Fan himself, this is not something that he can't understand or don't want to think about, after all, Zhang Fan is not a person who likes to deceive himself, what should be the situation around him, what is the relationship between him and Zhu Yijun, he sees it very clearly, and there is nothing he is unwilling to think about, he can naturally understand that the more Zhu Yijun trusts himself, the more embarrassing and dangerous his position is.
People in this position, for thousands of years, the past dynasties and dynasties do not know how many, but Zhang Fan understands that among these people, there are not many cases where they can enjoy this kind of glory and wealth peacefully, and finally people are extremely enviable, and most of the cases are that people in this position are pampered and arrogant, and feel that their status is unshakable, so they do something inappropriate, and finally end up, it is not just as simple as being ruined, and the good situation may be that they lose their lives. The worst case scenario is that not only will you suffer, but your own family will also suffer.
Raiding the house and asking for the crime, the whole family is full of beheading, this kind of thing, Zhang Fan himself has experienced a lot, although he has been uncomfortable from the beginning, and now he can face it calmly, but no matter which time, for Zhang Fan, seeing so many people who are involved because of one person, whether that person is himself or not, or whether that person has anything to do with him, Zhang Fan will not feel good.
This kind of scene that I already feel uncomfortable watching from the side, I can imagine what it would be like if it happened to me.
But Zhang Fan is very realistic, he is not an idealist, although he is very afraid of that kind of situation, but he will never refuse to think about it, and what Zhang Fan wants to do now is to avoid that kind of thing from happening.
In fact, if you want to avoid that kind of thing from happening to you, what Zhang Fan has to do is very simple, he just needs to keep one thing in mind, that is, he will always be sincere to Zhu Yijun in the future, and don't deceive, in that way, not only can he keep himself, but also make his future brighter.
It's just that Zhang Fan is not an idealist, he understands that there will always be too many unknowns and force majeure in the future, perhaps, maybe one day in the future, Zhang Fan himself encountered something, encountered something that he had to hide from Zhu Yijun, and even deceived Zhu Yijun.
Even, concealing that incident should be a good thing for Zhu Yijun, but Zhang Fan is sure that no matter what the nature of the matter is, concealment is concealment, and at that time, what kind of decision will Zhu Yijun have for Zhang Fan to conceal himself, and whether Zhu Yijun will know that Zhang Fan deceived him for his own good, no one knows these things.
Therefore, don't look at Zhang Fan's infinite scenery today, and there is incomparable light waiting for him in the future, but what will happen to him in the future, and what he thinks in his heart now, no one can understand these things, even Zhang Fan himself, he can know that feeling, but he can't express them in words or writing.
followed Zhu Yijun to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun sat there with a distressed look, and Zhang Fan was also thinking about his thoughts on the way just now, so he has been silent until now, still thinking about a thing that he can't explain, and thinking of a solution that he can't think of at all.
But Zhu Yijun didn't know this, he saw Zhang Fan sitting there silently, but he was thinking about something with his head down, and thought that Zhang Fan was also thinking about the same troubles as him.
For a moment, Zhu Yijun even felt that the reason why Zhang Fan said that was not sincere, but because Zhang Fan needed to cooperate with Zhang Juzheng and explain things reasonably, so that he could pass Zhang Juzheng's reform and rule by officials.
Of course, at this stage, Zhu Yijun is still a child, and children's minds are always more sensitive, but Zhu Yijun, who thought of this, had no intention of accusing Zhang Fan of deceiving himself, and even he could consider it from Zhang Fan's point of view, and felt that Zhang Fan was forced to say that.
But no matter what, now, Zhu Yijun feels that what Zhang Fan said is not like that.
"Teacher, but I'm worried about what happened just now," Seeing that Zhang Fan didn't speak, Zhu Yijun couldn't hold back at first, "Is it that what the teacher said to me just now was just because Feng Bao and Mr. Zhang forced the teacher to say it, and it wasn't the real thoughts in the teacher's heart?"
