Chapter 450: Compassion
For Feng Bao, he doesn't take himself seriously. Zhu Yijun did not show any dissatisfaction. It's always like it's not about me. Stand there and don't move.
This is a sight. The ministers standing below were all watching. But no one said anything. Besides. Even Zhu Yijun, the bitter master, did not express any dissatisfaction. What can they do as ministers?
Gao Gong had been prepared for this for a long time. In addition, what happened just now hit him hard. At this time, Gao Gong had no time to take care of these things.
The rest. Some either don't care about it at all. Or rather, this situation seems inevitable to them.
And others. Some of them are really ambitious. Loyal to the imperial court. For this kind of scene. What I feel is helplessness and sadness. In their opinion. This symbolizes. The chaos of this Ming Dynasty in the future. The chaos of the government. Anxiety about people's livelihoods. Of course. There is also the question of the authority of the royal family, and so on.
But Zhang Fan didn't care about these things. What he cares about is Zhu Yijun. This is now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The future of tomorrow.
Frankly. Zhang Fan's feelings for Zhu Yijun. It's actually very subtle.
Prophase. Zhang Fan, who is new to his career. For all of a sudden, he came into contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, I felt a little excited. But excitement is excitement. It is a manifestation of momentary mood swings. It's not a long-term state. Not to mention. At that time, Zhu Yijun was just a child less than ten years old after all.
And gradually. Zhang Fan has also changed for Zhu Yijun. Care and teach. This is what Zhang Fan should have done in the first place. It's his job. And Zhang Fan did pay his sincerity to do these things. thus won Zhu Yijun's great trust.
But even so. Zhang Fan's true thoughts at that time. In the final analysis, I still want to use Zhu Yijun. Have a good relationship with the current prince. In the future, after Zhu Yijun becomes the emperor. Use the foundation of your relationship to make it easier for yourself.
Don't get me wrong, though. This is just because of Zhang Fan, who had many "angry youth" plots in his previous life. I just want to use this to fulfill some ideals in my heart. There is nothing like having the complete trust of an emperor. It's easier to make yourself move. Even if you understand the truth of "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger". Zhang Fan was not very afraid. After all, what he wants to do is not a big rebellious thing. Nor was it a reform that would arouse the wrath of the feudal ruling forces.
But with the passage of time. and the development of his relationship with Zhu Yijun. Today's Zhang Fan has some changes to Zhu Yijun.
Caring or caring. It's not fake. Even more fervent than before. Teaching or teaching. Zhang Fan did not mislead Zhu Yijun. There has never been any hiding or anything like that. Even when Zhang Fan was teaching Zhu Yijun. It's always going to be intentional or not. Changing the way. Tell him many understandings and understandings in the future in a way that Zhu Yijun will not object. so that he will be able to unify his actions in the future.
However, Zhu Yijun. I don't know if it's his own reason. Or is it that the relationship between him and Zhang Fan made him trust Zhang Fan very much. In a word. Zhu Yijun can basically be said to be obedient to Zhang Fan's words. And for many things that Zhang Fan taught him. Even if some are measured by today's standards of moral values. There are still some things that people can't agree with. Zhu Yijun can understand and accept.
Things seem to be developing in the direction that Zhang Fan hoped. But. It is precisely because of Zhu Yijun's trust in Zhang Fan. Let Zhang Fan feel. Will I be a little sorry for Zhu Yijun in my original thoughts. Even if it is done according to Zhang Fan's original plan. Zhu Yijun will not be harmed, and if Zhang Fan succeeds. In the future, this Shenzhou continent. It is bound to be a good situation.
But for Zhu Yijun personally. Zhang Fan always felt that he had hurt him a little by doing so. Although it is said that the other party does not know. But there are some things that always get tangled in my mind. Zhang Fan can't do it, and he is indifferent to anything. Even he felt that he would never be able to reach that level in his life. Therefore, Zhang Fan's way of treating Zhu Yijun. The beginning began to change.
Actually, it stands to reason. With Zhang Fan's character and way of doing things. No matter how much literature there is in the chest. Whether in the officialdom of any era. It's hard to get out of the way. But who called Zhang Fan's luck.
In a word. Today's Zhang Fan really cares about Zhu Yijun. He didn't know. His own care for Zhu Yijun. How much will it change the future Wanli Emperor.
And now. In seeing. In seeing these people present. Whether faithful or selfish. Whether it is to use power for personal gain or for the country and the people. But they all regard Zhu Yijun as a tool. Zhang Fan felt that it was very inappropriate. That's mercy.
Think of these. Zhang Fan looked at the thin and lonely figure standing on the high platform. Cast a caring gaze.
It seems that there is a connection between the shadows. happened to be when Zhang Fan looked at Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun's eyes also turned.
The two of them who looked at each other. In this moment. They all understood what the other party was trying to convey.
Zhang Fan's eyes. expressed his pity for Zhu Yijun. But when Zhu Yijun came over. Zhang Fan's eyes were a little embarrassed.
And after Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Fan's eyes. At first, I was a little surprised. Then it became a look of relief and comfort.
It seems that the positions of the two people have been reversed.
That's right. Zhang Fan just cast a caring and compassionate look at Zhu Yijun. But when he saw Zhu Yijun, he saw it. It was embarrassing. In fact, the reason is very simple. Zhu Yijun is now no matter how pitiful and helpless he is, and there are more people who want to use him. But at the end of the day. He was still a prince. It won't be long before he becomes emperor.
And. What's more. Born in the royal family. Especially the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. There is always such a pride in his body. Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. There are bastards, there are those who abandon the government, and there are those who are cynical. But there is no one without integrity.
Back in the day. The last years of the Northern Song Dynasty. The second emperor was robbed by the Jin people. The prosperous Great Song Dynasty has been in a slump since then. Even Song Gaozong opened the Southern Song Dynasty in Lin'an, Hangzhou. In the end, it only lasted for a hundred years. In the end, it collapsed with a bang.
However. On the other hand, Daming. At the time of the fourteenth year of Orthodoxy. The Tumu Fort Rebellion broke out. The Tile Thorn Army defeated the Ming army. Even the emperor at that time, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was taken captive by the Watt Thorns. However, the Ming Dynasty did not collapse because of this. Even there have been discussions about moving south. But this was outright overruled.
As a member of such an arrogant royal family. Zhu Yijun naturally carries these emotions on his body. Therefore. If others showed him such a look of pity. Zhu Yijun will not only have a good impression of him. It's only going to be even more annoying.
But Zhang Fan is different. Zhang Fan has a special meaning for Zhu Yijun. And it is precisely because of this specialness. In Zhu Yijun's view. Zhang Fan's mercy. It's acceptable to him. One could even say. This is what Zhu Yijun wants to see.
"That being the case. Let's settle the matter. Feng Bao spoke. Things have come to a conclusion. Turning his head to Zhu Yijun and said. "Your Highness. The slave has already asked. June 10 is an auspicious day. It's better to be on that day. Your Highness, please enthrone you. What does Your Highness think? ”
"Now that this matter has been decided. Naturally, Hongu agreed. Zhu Yijun still didn't have much reaction to Feng Bao's questioning. Just replied very calmly. "It's just that it's only a few days now. It's better to hurry. ”
"It's natural. The slave and maid will go and give orders when they are ready. Feng Bao replied very respectfully. It's just whether he is respectful or not. I'm afraid it's hard to say. "I have to worry a lot about this matter, my lords. Especially Lord Zhang of the Ministry of Rites. ”
"Your Highness, please rest assured. At this time, Weichen should be cautious. Zhang Juzheng replied.
In fact. For this kind of thing. It's all prepared in advance. This is usually when the previous emperor has just died. Now we already have to prepare. After all, when will the emperor die. No one knows. But if he dies, he must be succeeded by a new emperor immediately. Hence these jobs. Especially the work of etiquette. Naturally, they were prepared early. In case time is pressing. If something goes wrong, it's a problem.
Seeing that the matter has been settled. Feng Bao looked at Zhu Yijun again.
Zhu Yijun knew that it was his turn to speak. He sighed slightly. Said: "Today, you are persuaded to enter the palace and ascend the throne. Hongu has also agreed. Now the day has been set. I don't know if you have anything else to say. ”
Waited a while. No one spoke. Only then did Zhu Yijun speak again: "Since this is the case. That's all for today. The days are near, too. I'm going to have to bother you. Hongu is a little tired. To go back and rest. ”
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace." Everyone present said in unison. They understand. This may be the last time they will call Zhu Yijun "His Royal Highness the Prince".
Zhu Yijun left. Feng Bao looked at it and left. The ministers above the main hall began to leave. It's just that they are all talking about today's things with their eyes.
Zhang Fan cast a questioning look at Zhang Juzheng. It seems to be asking some questions that are difficult to speak. And Zhang Juzheng, who saw Zhang Fan's eyes. He hesitated for a moment. At last. Still nodded slowly.
saw Zhang Juzheng admit it. Zhang Fan didn't ask anything anymore. cast a look of "be careful" in the past. I'm ready to leave.
Today's thing. There is no one who wins or loses. But in the eyes of everyone. If you lose, you will naturally have a high arch.
However, the high arch does not show signs of failure. Just when he left. With resentment on his face.
