"Jun'er. Returned. Something interesting can be found on the street today. Zhang Fan asked Zhu Yijun, who had just returned.

"Teacher. Where else is there interesting things these days. "Zhu Yijun seems to have a somewhat sullen appearance." A few days ago, after the teacher brought that Liu Shan to justice. So many days have passed now. The streets of Yangzhou City are still talking about this matter everywhere. I go wherever I go. You can hear it.

"This ...... I'm not saying it's wrong for the teacher to do this. I just think that the people of Yangzhou City are really a little too fussed. It's just the death of a corrupt official. Is it necessary to care so much. I talked about it all day long. It's so distracting. ”

Zhang Fan could only smile at Zhu Yijun's words. And didn't say anything. After all, it's a level difference. In the eyes of Zhu Yijun, the crown prince of the dynasty. No matter how many people Liu Shan pulled into the water, he was corrupt and bent the law. Or maybe he was greedy for a lot of money. It doesn't matter. In Zhu Yijun's eyes. He's just a corrupt eunuch. Compared with the corrupt officials who Zhu Yijun had seen before who were arrested. The difference between Liu Shan is only that the amount of money he is greedy for is relatively large. The others are no different in Zhu Yijun's eyes. If it is about the degree of harm. Liu Shan was not as chaotic as Liu Jin in the Zhengde period or Yan Song in the Jiajing period. Zhu Yijun, who knew this, naturally scoffed at this.

"Don't be weird." Zhang Fan said with a smile. "Although this Yangzhou city has been a prosperous place since ancient times. But after all, this place is far from the capital. The people here may have heard in the drama or the mouths of storytellers how those corrupt eunuchs acted as powerful and profitable. In the end, it was suppressed by the imperial court. But Liu Shan's incident was something that happened to them after all. They are just ordinary people. Life on weekdays is also simple and simple. Naturally, it is not easy to let go of this kind of thing. ”

Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Fan's words. But it stopped suddenly. After being silent for a long time, he spoke, "Thank you for your teaching." ”

"Teach. Did I just teach you anything? Zhang Fan looked at Zhu Yijun a little confused. asked with a puzzled face.

"Teacher, is this testing me?" Zhu Yijun thought about it again. He spoke confidently. "What the teacher just said. It seems that it is just saying that the common people have nothing else to ask for. I will also relish it for a long time when I encounter something new. Actually, the teacher was trying to tell me. The life of the common people is very simple. Nor are they looking for any kind of glory or riches. It's just three meals a day. There was a room for them to rest every night. Of course, if you want to live a better life. Whether it's studying and becoming an official, or doing business to make a living, or just working harder on weekdays. It's up to them to make their own efforts. In this way. The people will be satisfied. Naturally, he wouldn't want to do anything rebellious. In that year, Emperor Taizu raised troops to overthrow the tyranny of Yuanmeng. Although it is relied on by those civilians who defected to the Taizu banner. But it is fundamentally because of Yuan Meng's cruelty and inhumanity.

"What the teacher wants to teach Jun'er is. The one who is the king. I want the world to be stable. Prosperity. It's not about ambition. It's about making the world stable. Let the people live. That's it. Even if those who want to raise the banner of rebellion. No one will respond. In the end, it is just self-defeating. ”

Zhang Fan listened to Zhu Yijun's words quietly. Until he finished. Zhang Fan didn't speak. Let's be honest. Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed in his heart. Those words he just said. It's really just a matter of what he thinks and says. There is no deeper meaning. But Zhu Yijun would have thought so far and so deeply. This is definitely something Zhang Fan never expected.

This really made him feel that Zhu Yijun was too smart. And definitely not that kind of cleverness. It's really smart. He definitely has the potential to become a generation of Ming Jun. He even began to think about it. Is there something that is not suitable for me to continue to teach Zhu Yijun.

This is Zhang Fan's own self-indulgence. One comes. Although he read countless books of the sages. There's a lot of knowledge in my head. But after all, storage and use are two different things. Zhang Fan is still young after all. It hasn't been to the point where it's all connected.

Second. That's what he's teaching. Although Zhu Yijun is not yet ten years old. But after all, he has royal blood flowing in his body. He became the crown prince at about the same time as he was about to begin his education. In this way. The education he received from an early age was naturally different. Everything was prepared for him to become a qualified emperor. In this education from an early age. and under the influence of his ears and eyes on weekdays. Zhu Yijun, who is still a child, always thinks about how to be happy. But when he was looking at the question. will always subconsciously carry a responsibility that he will bear in the future.

Only now. Zhang Fan couldn't just say to Zhu Yijun what he just said and didn't have any ideas. But Zhang Fan is still a self-respecting person. I won't just be so cheeky to ask for credit. Zhang Fan had to keep a smiling face. looked at Zhu Yijun and nodded. looks like a teachable child. He didn't say anything.

"Oh. That's right. I don't know what happened when the teacher came to find Jun'er so late. Zhu Yijun occasionally glanced out the window and saw that it was naturally dark. Only then did he realize that it was not too early. There must be a reason why Zhang Fan came to him so late.

"Oh. Yes. I almost forgot to get down to business. Zhang Fan also came back to his senses. I remembered what I was here for. "Jun'er. You know. This one. The matter in Jiangnan is now over. Wait until a few more days. We're going back to Beijing. ”

"Okay. Teacher. Zhu Yijun didn't think about any resistance to returning to Beijing like before. On the contrary, he said very cheerfully.

Zhang Fan didn't feel anything strange about this. After all, Zhu Yijun has been out for so many days now. I've played everything I thought I should have played. Now I will ask him to go back. There should be no more problems. But Zhang Fan didn't feel relaxed. Because of what he was going to ask next. Zhu Yijun will not agree. But Zhang Fan is not a reckless man. He also thought of a good plan to deal with Zhu Yijun.

"It's just...... Jun'er......" Zhang Fan said with a little squeak. "I want Jun'er to go back first."

"Why is that?" Really. Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Fan's words. Puzzled, he asked.

"There's a reason for that." Zhang Fan said. "My uncle's family is also going to the capital. And the day after tomorrow on the road. I want Jun'er to go back with them. When the time comes, we will have a good response. ”

"But teacher. Why don't you call the teacher's uncle and his family to go back to Beijing with the teacher? Zhu Yijun asked.

"This. I'm helpless too. Zhang Fan pretended that there was nothing he could do. Said. "This time, my uncle's family all went to the capital. Originally, I was going to let them go back with me. But I took the boat back. After all, this time I had to carry so much silver. I also had to keep watch on the boat. But there were a few members of my uncle's family who couldn't get on the boat. Dizzy. ”

"That's how it was." Zhu Yijun suddenly realized. Said. "Just for that reason. Why did the teacher ask me to accompany them on the road? I came by land. I still haven't been on this boat once. I just want to sit down. ”

Really. Resistance was encountered. However, Zhang Fan will not compromise on this matter. He also thought of a rhetoric for this situation a long time ago: "Actually, there are other reasons. Zhang Fan said this. looked at Zhu Yijun with an unspeakable look on his face.

"Teacher, please elaborate." Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Fan's appearance. I wanted to know the reason even more.

"Alas. Actually, it's like this. "A helpless look. Zhang Fan began to tell the reason he had made up a long time ago. "A few days ago. I received a letter from Kyoto. It was passed down from the palace. The letter was not written by His Majesty. But it is also the content of His Majesty's dictation. The letter said that Your Majesty, he and Niangniang miss Jun'er very much. After all, I haven't seen you for more than a month. They want you to go back sooner.

"Need to know. This is not His Majesty's oracle, though. But these are the words of His Majesty after all. How can I disobey it? But if Jun'er, you follow me back to Beijing. The speed of those ships was simply too slow. It is estimated that it will take half a month to get to Beijing. And now His Majesty's letter has reached my hands. I can't help but do what His Majesty wants. “

The reason why Zhang Fan said that it was sent by Longqing's ordinary letters. It's not that it's a decree or anything like that. In fact, this is just a means for him to protect himself. You must know that falsely spreading the emperor's holy decree is a crime of deception. The whole family will be beheaded. Although now only he and Zhu Yijun are the only two people to talk about this matter. And his purpose is also to protect Zhu Yijun. But it's hard to guarantee that this matter will not leak out in the future. Until then. If someone wants to participate in Zhang Fan's book, there will be a topic of conversation. After all, it doesn't matter if it's a holy decree or a dictation. It is all recorded in Ouchi. Even if Longqing wants to help him, he can't do it. It is different to say that it is Longqing's letter. First, this is also a deterrent to Zhu Yijun. Second, if someone wants to use this thing to play something in the future. Long Qing or Zhu Yijun can help Zhang Fan. Anyway, it's something that has no proof.

"That's right." Zhu Yijun also had a helpless expression after hearing this. Apparently convinced. "That's it."

Hearing Zhu Yijun's agreement. Zhang Fan also put his mind at ease. You don't have to tell the truth of the matter to get Zhu Yijun. That's a good thing.

Next. It's Xu Jie's turn.
