The so-called "every family has a scripture that is difficult to read", this sentence is really simple, but it is correct.

To be honest, Zhang Fan used to watch those bloody historical dramas, and he always saw this kind of scene, after a man's career is successful, he naturally has three wives and four concubines in his family, enjoying the blessings of all people, as if he is a winner in life, of course, for the twists and turns of the story, there will always be some discordant factors in this, the most typical is the so-called backyard fire, like what mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is incompatible, the wife and concubine are in order to compete for favor, or there is something wrong between husband and wife.

This kind of thing, Zhang Fan remembers that when he was a child, and when he was very young, he still watched it, but when he grew up, although the TV station was still broadcasting this kind of thing, Zhang Fan never watched it again, even if he saw it occasionally, he immediately changed the channel, and greatly despised it in his heart.

But Zhang Fan never thought that this kind of thing that he thought was very bloody would appear in his life, even now, these have not become facts, they are just passed on from the mouths of the maids, but the maids' chewing of their tongues is not completely unfounded, at least, Zhang Fan listened, Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er are indeed relatively depressed these days.

Yingyue for this matter, although Zhang Fan did not agree with her to do this, but she still went to Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er to talk, since then, it seems that these news are still spreading among the maids, but the situation is much better than before.

However, this kind of day did not last long, Zhang Fan's wound was healed quickly, after the scar fell off, only by looking carefully could you see some faint traces, but for Zhang Fan, there was no problem, this little detail would not be discovered by Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er, plus Zhang Fan's face was as usual now, and his body was very strong, not at all like he had suffered a serious injury that almost cost him his life half a month ago.

As a result, everything in Zhang's mansion returned to the way it was before.

The time is in April, since Zhang Fan recovered, Zhang Fan began to be like usual again, early in the morning before the sky dawned, Zhang Fan was about to get up from the arms of the beauty and go to the court, which was also a big torment, but Zhang Fan has already adapted to this kind of life now.

In the early dynasty without an emperor, listening to the ministers in the court arguing more fiercely with each other because there was no restraint, especially Gao Gong, Zhang Fan felt interesting about today's court, but also felt a little sad, after all, such a huge empire, but there is such an emperor who cares about state affairs but is extremely romantic; There is also such a group of ministers who only know how to exclude dissidents and fight for their own interests.

But feeling sad, Zhang Fan also had to be amazed at the system of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhang Fan did not know much about what the original history was like, but now he is also in this whirlpool of power, whether it is the present or the past form should have some understanding of the right.

However, after listening to many people's narratives, Zhang Fan found that the absurd appearance in front of him now was not his own good luck, but it seemed that almost every dynasty of the Ming Dynasty would encounter this situation, the emperor did not focus on handling national affairs, but focused on other things, and for the ministers, the main purpose of being an official is not to show his ambitions, for the country and the people, but mostly for his own interests, in order to ensure his status in the officialdom, In order for their rights to be consolidated, and to be even greater in the future, in short, it is not about putting national affairs first.

Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, since the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the founding of the country, the Tartars who were driven back to the northern grasslands have never stopped attacking the Ming Dynasty for a moment, and these are only external factors, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, rebellions or uprisings and rebellions are almost every year.

From this point of view, the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty should have been in a situation where it was always in turmoil and could collapse at any time.

However, this is not the case, in fact, the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, the two famous kings will be more prosperous during their reigns, in fact, even if it is like Emperor Zhengde, who is known as the most foolish emperor, and Emperor Jiajing, a very controversial emperor, during the reign of the emperor, there have been no major disasters among the people, and there are indeed many natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty, but when it really entered the scene of starvation in the early years of Qianlong, there was really no one.

At this point, this is where Zhang Fan is most surprised, why can such an empire where emperors and ministers do not want to put national affairs first can still run smoothly according to certain laws.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan gave himself a more plausible explanation, that is, the unique political system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister, and this was the case during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, so that the possibility of power being concentrated in one person was eliminated, until Ming Chengzu Zhu Di became the emperor, he made the cabinet, and the power of the cabinet was huge, and even for the emperor's holy decree, if the cabinet thought that it was not good, the holy decree could not be counted.

Although the power of the cabinet is very large, and the status of the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet can definitely be compared to the prime minister, it is worth noting that the cabinet does not have only one first and auxiliary ministers, and there is also a cabinet secondary, and there are four cabinet ministers, and the cabinet is not a certain person, so the cabinet resolutions must be passed by all the ministers before they can be counted.

Below, in addition to the six ministries, there are also six sections, which are specifically designed to supervise whether the officials of the six ministries have any problems.

There is also the imperial history, these people are obsessed with all the ministers of the court and the central government, making it difficult for people to do evil as they want.

Under such a series of measures, even if the emperor does not bother with the government much, things will be handled naturally, and there will be many fewer mistakes.

Anyway, that's what it is.

Then, after finishing the court, Zhang Fan had to go to the East Palace to teach Zhu Yijun, during this time, Zhu Yijun always gave Zhang Fan a feeling of being tormented in hell, and the reason was naturally Feng Bao.

In this regard, Zhu Yijun complained for a long time, and planned to go to Longqing to talk, but every time he saw Longqing, Zhu Yijun didn't know how, so he couldn't say these words, and his mother Li Guifei, Zhu Yijun would never dare to complain to her, Li Guifei's strict discipline of Zhu Yijun is obvious to all, everyone inside and outside the palace understands that if Zhu Yijun dares to come to her and say that he doesn't like Feng Bao, the reason is because Feng Bao stares at him too closely, so that he doesn't even have a little time to play. Li Guifei didn't know what she would do to make Zhu Yijun even more uncomfortable.

Zhu Yijun, who is already having a hard time now, doesn't want things to be troublesome anymore.

Zhu Yijun called Feng Bao "big companion", this is the manifestation of his fear of Feng Bao, Feng Bao always tells him what he can do and what he can't do, Zhu Yijun is right, naturally there will be no words of praise, and Zhu Yijun is not uncommon Feng Bao's praise.

But if Zhu Yijun does something wrong, then the fun will be great, Feng Bao will count Zhu Yijun first, and then no matter whether Zhu Yijun obeys the discipline or not, whether he is willing to correct it or not, Feng Bao will go to Li Guifei and say it again, and then, it is very simple, Zhu Yijun will often be called by his mother during this time, and then he will be punished well.

In this regard, Zhu Yijun has no second person to confide in except Zhang Fan, from Zhu Yijun's words, Zhang Fan can clearly hear Zhu Yijun's fear of Feng Bao, of course, and in his young heart, the resentment towards Feng Bao is steadily increasing.

However, Zhang Fan has no objection to this, on the contrary, as the person responsible for teaching the prince, he is no longer as serious as in the past, but has become "kind", of course, this "kindness" is what Zhu Yijun thinks.

Zhang Fan will always say funny things to Zhu Yijun, even if he is teaching, he will also use some interesting ways, such as telling stories to teach Zhu Yijun.

In today's Zhu Yijun's view, Zhang Fan is not only his master, the person he can trust the most, but also the person who cares about him the most, and Zhang Fan's loyalty to Longqing, Zhu Yijun used to often hear his father Longqing mention it.

This made Zhu Yijun, who was already very dependent on Zhang Fan, also secretly made a decision in his heart, if he can sit on the throne one day, he will definitely reuse Zhang Fan, no, it is wrong to say that reuse, Zhu Yijun feels that he can have a master who cares about him so much, a courtier, it is simply a gift from God, he must reuse Zhang Fan more than his father, so it can be done.

So, that's it, Zhang Fan's future good future has been determined without him even knowing it, and the relationship between him and Zhu Yijun is quite good.

Zhang Fan can win the favor of Longqing, more or less coincidentally, it can be said that Zhang Fan can have such an achievement now, it can be regarded as a good opportunity for him, of course, not only to have an opportunity, the opportunity is coming, he himself can seize it.

But the relationship between Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun is different, due to Emperor Longqing's father, Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Yijun's birth once did not dare to be made public, although many people knew, but after Longqing ascended the throne, Zhu Yijun, who was named the crown prince, seemed to suddenly pop out.

And Zhang Fan is the person who Zhu Yijun really feels worthy of his trust after becoming the prince, in addition to his relatives, although the two are quite different in age, but Zhu Yijun cherishes this relationship very much.
