Chapter 558: No Matter What
Really. After Zhang Fan's words came out. Zhu Yijun's face was puzzled. And it's a deep doubt. It was on the faces of Feng Bao and Empress Dowager Li next to him. But there was no hint of surprise.
After all. Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng both discussed with Zhang Fan. They didn't even talk about it. But he's not stupid. I could have figured out what was going to happen today. What kind of situation is encountered. Even if it's not. Even if Zhu Yijun would ask like this, it was a sudden situation. The two of them will not panic in the slightest. And Zhang Fan will answer like this. The two of them didn't feel anything wrong. Here's why. Both men are pragmatic people.
And actually. Zhang Fan's words. There is only one main point. That's everything. There's no need to ask how the process goes. After all. It's all about what you actually do. How the hell is it done? What difficulties have been encountered? What to choose. None of that matters anymore.
Saying goes. "One will make ten thousand bones dry". Although it sounds too bloody. But so one law is universal, and all laws are clear. The reasoning is the same.
Bigger. The founding emperor of which dynasty and which generation. Before it became famous, behind its vast empire, under its magnificent palaces. And how many people have been decapitated and bleeding because of him? Lost his life. But. In front of this. No one has gone back to pay attention to this. One will only see the success of the emperor. But I can't see it. Or is it unwilling to see this emperor in order to get his own throne. How many people were sacrificed. And how many people were killed.
And to put it mildly. Those who do business. If you just want to do a small business. It's okay to subsidize the family. But if you really want to be rich. And how can you not use some despicable means? It's also unavoidable. After all, there is more than one person who does business in this world. Just because you don't do it doesn't mean that others won't do it. If someone else does it, you don't do it. Then you can only wait for others to devour you.
Everyone knows these truths. Not to mention Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, who have gone through officialdom experience. Even if it is for Zhang Fan, he has not been in the official career for a few years. It's also a smooth sail along the way. I didn't feel it deeply. But this doesn't mean that Zhang Fan doesn't understand this. Not to mention Zhang Fan's last life. You don't need to learn that. to be able to understand; Now he has entered the career of the feudal dynasty. Although I haven't faced too many of these situations. But he also saw a lot. How can you not know.
And how could Empress Dowager Li not know the truth here. She was born as a commoner. But she entered the palace early and became a palace maid. It didn't take long to enter the palace. Then he was taken by Zhu Zaiyuan. And after she followed Zhu Zaiyuan. Especially when Zhu Zaiyuan ascended the throne as emperor. And she was also named the imperial concubine. This kind of thing. She's seen too much. How could you not know the truth. There is a lot of right and wrong in the palace. There is nothing more clear than being in the palace.
Therefore. This kind of thing is for Zhang Fan and the three of them. All understood. I can say it all. Even. Maybe it was a change of Zhang Juzheng or Feng Baolai's narration. may be much more detailed and profound than Zhang Fan.
After all. On top of officialdom. A person who does things recklessly. That's even more unscrupulous. The reason why this kind of thing does not happen every day in the DPRK and China. That's mainly because all the people in power have scruples. What they want is stability. If you don't make a move, you will take it. As soon as you make a move, you will pinch the enemy's vital points. If you don't find out this, you will act rashly. It is very likely that you will be beaten upside down by the other party. More likely to endanger themselves. So act in the court. That's more steady. Speaking of which. This situation in the court is compared to the courtyard walls of the imperial palace. Be nervous.
to the forces that disagree with the two sides. On weekdays, there are rivalries and quarrels because of their own opinions. It's not a battle at all. They were just testing each other. It's still a long way from the actual shot.
But nowadays. It was Zhu Yijun who asked this question. This made Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao unable to answer. After all. Zhang Juzheng is now establishing an image in front of Zhu Yijun. Although until now. The effect is already very significant. Zhu Yijun already has a great sense of identity with Zhang Juzheng. But it's not time yet. Now let Zhang Juzheng tell him. Any means can be used to achieve the goal. Isn't this to Zhang Juzheng slap himself in the mouth. Do you make it clear that what you have taught him at the sutra feast is false? Zhang Juzheng is not so stupid.
And Feng Bao couldn't either. Although Feng Bao is now extremely favored by the person in power. And Feng Bao is also by Zhu Yijun's side for a lot of time in a day. But what is Zhu Yijun's reaction to Feng Bao. I believe that Feng Bao himself understands better than outsiders.
Now. Zhu Yijun was a little scared of Feng Bao. It's not that I'm afraid of Feng Bao himself. After all, he was the emperor. Feng Bao wouldn't do anything to him. What Zhu Yijun is afraid of is. When something is wrong with you. Feng Bao threatened him to go to the Empress Dowager Li to complain. This is the most fatal for Zhu Yijun. After all, he loved his mother very much. But from birth to the present. Although Empress Dowager Li cared for him. But it's always been very harsh.
This situation. made Zhu Yijun's fear of Feng Bao slowly turn into a kind of resentment. Of course. Now at this stage. Zhu Yijun's fear of Feng Bao is still greater than his resentment. And this will continue for a long time. But in the future. Someday. Zhu Yijun's resentment towards Feng Bao is greater than his fear of him. When. Naturally, it was when he felt that Feng Bao could no longer be a threat to him. To put it bluntly. That's when Zhu Yijun no longer has to be afraid of his mother. That is when he was in power.
At that time. I'm afraid that all his dissatisfaction with Feng Bao will turn into anger and resentment. As for what will happen to Feng Bao at that time. Now is not the time to ask.
All in all, one point. That is, Zhu Yijun hates Feng Bao now. Feng Bao himself didn't know this. So Feng Bao is self-aware. He understood that if he stood up and explained this matter to Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun wouldn't believe it at all. They will even oppose it. This may spoil Zhang Juzheng and his big business.
It's just that I don't know why Feng Bao is self-aware about this. But for their own future. But not at all.
Of course. It was impossible for Empress Dowager Li to explain anything to Zhu Yijun. After all, she is Zhu Yijun's mother. And it's the Queen Mother. Naturally, she must have her own majesty and reserve. Now let her tell herself that she is the son of the emperor. Any means can be used to achieve the end. Not to mention what kind of changes will there be for Zhu Yijun. Even she can't open this mouth herself.
Look around. Among those who are here now. Someone who can explain to Zhu Yijun. The most suitable one is Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan's identity. and the relationship between him and Zhu Yijun. This allows what Zhang Fan said to be believed by Zhu Yijun. But he didn't think that Zhang Fan was trying to deceive him about anything. Besides. Even Empress Dowager Li felt it. It's not a bad thing to let Zhu Yijun master some human affairs. After all, he will reign over the world in the future. Just by the teachings of the sages. It's not enough.
"But...... But Taifu ...... "I heard Zhang Fan say this. Zhu Yijun was suddenly confused. "Taifu used to teach me. It's not about ......" said here. Zhu Yijun didn't know what to say. He naturally believed in Zhang Fan. So what Zhang Fan said just now. He also believes. But what Zhang Fan said. But it was very different from the education he had received in the past. After all, in the past, whether it was Zhang Juzheng or Zhang Fan's teaching to him. The words of those sages. All of them are contrary to what Zhang Fan is saying now.
This made the young Zhu Yijun deeply confused. At this moment, he didn't know what to believe.
"Wechen understands what His Majesty has to say." Zhang Fan saw Zhu Yijun's embarrassed appearance. Hurriedly spoke. "Actually. What Wechen just said. It is not inconsistent with the teachings of His Majesty in the past. ”
Zhang Fan said. Zhu Yijun couldn't understand it anymore. Obviously, the two theories are fundamentally opposite. Zhang Fan told him that there was nothing wrong with him. How could he understand.
"The teachings of the saints are important. It is also the foundation for His Majesty to be the king in the future. Zhang Fan explained. But only by the teachings of the saints. but it is not enough to rule the world. Think about what Lord Zhang said to the Queen Mother just now. And the memorabilia has been told to His Majesty. What is the real situation in the imperial court now? Just ask Your Majesty. The teachings of the saints should be generous and benevolent. Be merciful even to traitorous ministers. But Your Majesty thinks. If it is to be merciful to them. Will they repent? ”
Facing Zhang Fan's question. Such a simple question. Zhu Yijun thought about it for a long time. He shook his head.
"Exactly." Zhang Fan shook his head when he saw him. Said. "Even. If you are merciful to them. Not only will they not repent. On the contrary, it will be even worse. Therefore, the imperial court needs to use extraordinary means. to let them know that if they continue to be corrupt and pervert the law. The wrath of thunder will come upon its head. The saints teach kindness. But he didn't say that he should be soft in the face of such people.
"Even now, if you do it. It's too incompatible. But this approach feels inappropriate. But it can make these corrupt officials stop. Let the officials be vigilant. In this way, you can be a good official. Do something practical for the country and the people.
This may seem inappropriate. But in fact, it is for the sake of the court, for the people, and for the sake of the country. ”
Zhang Fan said. In fact, there are many things he has said that he is not complete. But nowadays. He could only say this to Zhu Yijun. After all, many things cannot be explained in a moment. The rest. Only in the days to come. is tempting Zhu Yijun step by step.
