"Yuande, move to a new home!" Zhang Juzheng said to Zhang Fan. The new home had just been settled, and Zhang Juzheng came.

"Look at what the teacher said, it's not all the emperor's reward." Zhang Fan said, "But the students are also deserved!" ”

"This is also a problem that His Majesty was forced out by the former emperor when he was King Yu." Zhang Juzheng said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty's daily consumption is quite luxurious, and the students know this." Zhang Fan said, "It's just that Your Majesty is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments, but this time he suddenly rewarded students like this, which is very puzzling." ”

"Your Majesty must have a good intention in rewarding you, and I can guess a little." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Please tell the teacher." Zhang Fan humbly asked for advice.

"It's not because of your conflict with the teacher." Zhang Juzheng said, "I'm afraid that the affairs between you and your mentor are known to the officials in Beijing, although they don't know why, but the mentor doesn't like you, it's a fact." ”

"I know this, but does it have anything to do with His Majesty rewarding me?" Zhang Fan was still a little puzzled and asked.

"You have to think about the identity of the teacher." Zhang Juzheng reminded, "The teacher is an important minister of the two dynasties, and the current cabinet is the first assistant, and the prestige is outside, so naturally there are many people who are very respectful to the teacher." ”

As soon as Zhang Juzheng said this, Zhang Fan understood. After all, Xu Jie is the first assistant, even if he doesn't take the initiative to gather, there are many people who cling to him, Zhang Juzheng said that the word respect is just a respect for himself, to put it bluntly, there are many people who stutter to this first assistant. Although Zhang Fan doesn't move around much in the court, everyone knows about the trouble between him and Xu Jie. Although those people didn't know why Xu Jie didn't like Zhang Fan, they naturally came to deal with Zhang Fan in order to curry favor with Xu Jie.

"Your Majesty probably heard something before he made this move. The purpose is to remind these people that you are a person that His Majesty is optimistic about, so that they can make less decisions. Zhang Juzheng said.

"Your Majesty's mind is also clear to the students, and they always analyzed it for me last time." Zhang Fan thought for a while and said, "It's just that Your Majesty can solve the student's temporary predicament by doing this, but it is inevitable that those people will be more hollow out to deal with me!" ”

"Actually, Your Majesty is also planning for the aftermath." Zhang Juzheng said something sensational.

This sentence frightened Zhang Fan, looked at Zhang Juzheng's face, and said slowly: "What does this mean, teacher?" ”

"I'm not cursing Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng said, "You must also know about the matter between the emperor and His Majesty. ”

Zhang Fan nodded and waited for the following.

"The emperor's suspicion of His Majesty not only made His Majesty very annoyed, but even His Majesty's body was affected." Zhang Juzheng said, "When Your Majesty was King Yu, he was always worried that he would be punished by the emperor at that time, and His Majesty at that time had to spend this energy on women.

"It's just that Your Majesty is also a mortal, and at that time I started to take **, and then the amount became larger and larger. After the emperor returned to heaven and His Majesty ascended the throne, the habit of taking ** food could not be changed, and it became more and more intense. After the recuperation of the imperial doctor, His Majesty's body is now better, but the internal problems cannot be cured at all. Your Majesty knows it very well. Because I was also serving in the Yuwang Mansion at that time, I knew about it, and His Majesty often came to me to discuss this matter, but no one in the court knew about it. ”

Zhang Fan listened to his words, and was unexpectedly surprised. He wasn't a history major in his previous life, but he knew something. He remembered that Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, was only ten years old when he ascended the throne, and now Zhu Yijun is almost eight years old, so there are only three years left in Longqing. It's just that this matter can't be explained to Zhang Juzheng.

"What does the teacher mean that His Majesty wants to spend the rest of his time cultivating me?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I'm afraid it's not just about cultivating." Zhang Juzheng said, "Your Majesty may want you to assist him when he ascends the throne." ”

Okay! first became the champion of the internal determination, and now he is the minister of the internal appointment. However, Zhang Fan didn't feel happy at all, but felt uneasy that big trouble was coming. Even if Longqing lives for three years, Zhang Fan is only twenty-three years old, and the twenty-three-year-old minister of Gu Ming, I don't know if he is on the cusp!

"Teacher, I can understand Your Majesty's thoughts, but there are more than 10 million people like me in the world, why did they choose me?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Yes, there are more than 10 million capable people in this world, and there are no better people than you." Zhang Juzheng said, "But it is not for nothing that His Majesty chose you. You are so conspicuous in this palace test, and your majesty also knows about you when you went out with the army before. What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes you very much, and you treat the Prince very well. ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, this was a revelation. Longqing is not just looking for a capable person, but also looking for someone who is not only capable, but also good to Zhu Yijun. Zhang Fan's articles and ability to deal with people and things have been examined by Long Qing, although he himself does not know. But the relationship between him and Zhu Yijun is real, Zhu Yijun likes Zhang Fan very much, and Zhang Fan is also very accommodating to Zhu Yijun. This is probably the main motivation for Longqing to make this determination.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will have evil thoughts in my heart? After all, people change. Zhang Fan said half-jokingly.

"Your Majesty knows this, so he will naturally take precautions." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Oh?" Zhang Fan looked at him suspiciously, and found that Zhang Juzheng had a faint smile on his face, and suddenly realized, and said, "It turned out to be a teacher!" Your Majesty wants the teacher to supervise the students! ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled but did not speak.

"Your Majesty's mind is really meticulous." Zhang Fan said, "But in this way, isn't there a way to change?" ”

"This matter is very important, and it is necessary to take a long-term view." Zhang Juzheng said.

The two were silent for a while, and Zhang Juzheng suddenly said, "Yuande, I heard that you are about to get married." ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Exactly, the team to send off relatives is estimated to be about to arrive." ”

"Hehe, this is a great joy!" Zhang Juzheng was also very happy.

"At that time, I will have to trouble the teacher to be a witness to the student's marriage." Zhang Fan also said with a smile.

"It's natural, and I'm bound to come when the time comes."

The two talked about gossip again, and Zhang Juzheng took his leave. Zhang Fan thinks about things alone, to be honest, there is no one in the upper position who doesn't want to, and Zhang Fan is also very happy. It's just that when I'm happy, I'm worried.

On this day, the team to send off relatives arrived in the capital, and Chen Wenchuan and Ma Xianling also came. The two came to Zhang Fan's mansion, and the Zhao family received the prospective in-law very warmly.

"Two uncles." Zhang Fan gave a gift to the two people.

After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Ma Xianling was very happy, but Chen Wenchuan did not respond.

"Virtuous nephew, you are right to call me uncle, but you can't call me my righteous brother like that!" Ma Xianling said with a smile.

Zhang Fan listened to his words, looked at Chen Wenchuan's face, and said, "Son-in-law asks Lord Taishan for peace." ”

Chen Wenchuan became happy and said to Zhang Fan: "Well, a virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to be polite. The crowd laughed.

Everyone sat down, and Zhang Fan asked: "Father-in-law and uncle, I don't know what the situation is in Northern Xinjiang this year?" ”

"Strange to say, everything is fine in northern Xinjiang this year, not even the small-scale intrusion of the past. I haven't seen a single tartar since the beginning of winter. Chen Wenchuan was also very happy.

Ma Xian Ling also said: "This time, your father-in-law and I plan to wait for Ru Xue and to become married, and then leave after the New Year." Lord Wang is also because of the stability of northern Xinjiang this year, so he specially allowed your father-in-law to take such a long vacation. ”

"That's all right, but where do you live?" Zhang Fan said, "Although I am big here, but Ru Xue and I have not yet married, what should I do these days?" ”

"I also have a house in the capital." Ma Xianling said, "Although it is a little smaller, since you want to marry Ru Xue, naturally let her be wronged first." I'm going to bother you with my old bones. ”

"What did my uncle say?" Zhang Fan said.

"Actually, this matter is very easy to do, you and Ru Xue should have married earlier." Ma Xianling smiled and said, "How is it?" Has the date been set? ”

Where did Zhang Fan understand this, and looked at his mother on the side. Zhao also said happily: "I have received the news that you have entered the city, so I will go to find someone to settle it." The sixteenth day of the lunar month is a good day. ”

"On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, there are still three days, mother, will you be in a hurry?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone ready for you these days." Zhao said.

Chen Wenchuan also said, "It's okay on my side, things have already been done." The things had already been done, albeit in a hurry, and I think they both couldn't wait. ”

His words made Zhang Fan a little embarrassed, and everyone laughed.

Xiangmei has been serving the Zhao family now, and now Zhang Fan's family has changed houses, although there are not many, there are also a few subordinates. Xiangmei has become a housekeeper, but this girl is amiable, and no one else objected. Zhao instructed Xiangmei to prepare a room for Ma County Ling and Chen Wenchuan, and Chen Wenchuan lived here with Zhang Fan in the past few days.

In the afternoon, Zhang Fan went to Jinyiwei's office and took leave. The Jinyi guards in the capital have long known the news that Zhang Fan is going to get married, and they all came to congratulate him. Before taking it away, Zhao Ming, a thousand households who arrested people with Zhang Fan last time, handed Zhang Fan an envelope, Zhang Fan thought it was news, and opened it to see, good guy, a thick pile of silver tickets.

Zhang Fan looked at Zhao Ming and said, "Brother Zhao, what does this mean?" "Zhang Fan and Lighting are also speculative, and they are commensurate with brothers.

"This is a congratulatory gift from the brethren." Zhao Ming said.

"This, how can I take it!" Zhang Fan hurriedly excused himself.

"Brother Xian, you must accept this." Zhao Ming said.

Zhang Fan listened to his words and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

"If you don't accept it, others will think you're going to deal with him!" Zhao Ming said, "If it's one or two people, forget it, this is fourteen thousand households in the capital, and more than one hundred hundred households have given gifts, if you don't accept it, you won't offend them all!" ”

Zhang Fan couldn't laugh or cry, if he wanted to say that he was taking bribes, Zhang Juzheng also spent a lot of money begging Feng Bao to do something. But this is the first time that this forces you to collect money, Zhang Fan listened to the words of the lighting, so he had to accept this gift.

When he returned to the door of his home, he was just about to go in, and Liu Feng on the side said to Zhang Fan: "My lord, where is someone staring at you." ”

Zhang Fan listened to his words, looked in the direction he was looking at, and saw that Zhaoxue, the girl, was there. Zhang Fan said to Liu Feng: "It's okay, she came to find me." ”

"Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but you're a little fatter!" Zhao Xue looked at Zhang Fan quirkily and said, "Sister, I want to get thinner and thinner, and sure enough, men don't have a good thing." ”

Zhang Fan could only smile bitterly when he heard her words, and then hurriedly asked, "Ru Xue, is she okay?" Didn't she say everything was okay in her letter? Why didn't you write to me? ”

"My sister is afraid of disturbing you, so naturally she won't say this to you." Zhao Xue said, "What's the use of me telling you? Do you want the two of you to worry about each other? ”

Zhang Fan listened to her words, was a little embarrassed, and asked, "How is Ru Xue now?" ”

"It's much better, in fact, it's nothing, and now I'm about to get married, so I'm naturally happy." Zhao Xue said a little sourly.

Zhang Fan thought that she was just reluctant to marry her sister, so she didn't say anything. Zhao Xue took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Fan: "This is written to you by my sister." ”

Zhang Fan took it and said, "I'm tired of you." ”

"Humph!" Zhao Xue snorted as a matter of course.

"Do you want to come in and sit down? Your father is here, too. Zhang Fan said.

"Don't, if you let my dad know that I secretly came to deliver a letter to my sister, he will scold me again." Zhaoxue said, "I've been out for a long time, and my sister is still waiting for me, so I'll go back first." ”

Zhang Fan saw Zhaoxue leave, looked at the letter in his hand, and walked into the house happily.
