The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Feng Bao's tranquility during this period, in the eyes of many people in the court, he deserved it all. Of course, most of these people think that Feng Bao's tranquility during this period is actually pretended by himself , in order not to attract too much attention, after all, he made too much trouble during that time, and as long as this period of time has passed, Feng Bao will return to his previous appearance.

It's just that now, as time goes by, among this group of people, the number of people who hold this kind of thinking is constantly decreasing. Of course, the number of people who think that Feng Bao has indeed changed his past has not increased. It's just seeing that this kind of affirmation has turned into suspicion. After all, if Feng Baoruo is really only depressed for a while, then this period of time is really too long.

As for those who think that Feng Bao has really changed, they also have their own reasons. During this period of time, Feng Bao did not seem to be doing this to avoid suspicion. If so, this is the same as what Feng Bao is doing now. Some things are really wrong. During Feng Bao's "depression" period, he didn't care about anything. It should be something that needs his attention. He will still do it, but Feng Bao almost no longer participated in those troublesome and gossiping matters.

In short, no matter in the eyes of these people, Feng Bao has really changed or is just pretending, in short, the current Feng Bao is good for them, so no matter whether it is true or not, no one will come now What stimulated Feng Bao.

And Feng Bao has been very low-key during this time. Even if he came up early, he was not as high-spirited as before, just like he was the emperor. Except for what he should do on weekdays, he hardly took any actions. The only communication , I'm afraid it's just talking to Zhang Juzheng and other familiar people.

"Eunuch," Zhang Juzheng saw Feng Bao, and naturally came to greet him, just like before, Feng Bao now makes Zhang Juzheng feel good, not to mention that Feng Bao still supports Zhang Juzheng now, and Zhang Juzheng doesn't need it as much as before. It's a good thing for Zhang Juzheng to give a gift.

"Master Zhang hasn't gone back yet." This is not the first time he has met Zhang Juzheng since the morning court. "Now that the Liaodong War is coming, it is a few days earlier than we expected before. Does Master Zhang not care about our imperial envoy?" "The "imperial envoy" refers to Zhang Fan, of course, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan, Feng Bao's old acquaintances, are also the few Feng Bao will joke with when talking to them now.

"I'm not worried about this," Zhang Juzheng said with a smile, "Yuande has self-knowledge, knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do, besides, it's not like he hasn't encountered a situation more dangerous than this before, no It’s all turning bad luck into good fortune, but this time it’s far worse than before, and nothing will happen,”

"That's true. Our Master Zhang has always been a lucky star. It seems that I am worrying too much." Feng Bao smiled, "By the way, I heard that Master Zhang is now thinking about civil laws. What's the matter?" I have a clue," how could Feng Bao not know about Zhang Juzheng's plan, and he didn't mean to inquire about the news when he asked now, it was just a casual question.

"There are clues, but it's too early to tell," Zhang Juzheng didn't find it troublesome. "After all, it involves civil affairs, which are intricate and complicated. There are too many things to care about. If you don't think about them one by one. Time is a big trouble. Fortunately, this matter is not urgent, nor can it be rushed. Now Liaodong is like this. Even if Li Chengliang can end the war earlier, I am afraid it will take some time to think about these things. ,"

"That's true," Feng Bao nodded, "Since this is the case, if there is any need for our family's help in the future, Mr. Zhang can say it's okay, but now, Mr. Zhang has nothing else to do, and he is patronizing all day long. I'm afraid I'm tired after studying those things, today is just right, why don't you go to my place and have a drink or two, and you should take a rest."

"Father-in-law's proposal is really good." Facing Feng Bao's invitation, Zhang Juzheng did not refuse. It would be needless to say if it was someone else's invitation. Even the current Feng Bao's invitation may have to think twice, but Zhang Juzheng naturally does not have that Worried, but in fact he wouldn't worry about these things at all. His relationship with Feng Bao was completely different.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law," at this moment, a young eunuch came to Feng Bao's side. Perhaps he also knew about the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, so he didn't speak softly, and said directly, "There is a person from outside the palace. , took the token of Master Zhang of Jin Yiwei, and said that he had something to see his father-in-law, "

"Oh," Feng Bao heard that Zhang Fan belonged, and looked at Zhang Juzheng with a smile, "Master Zhang, it means that Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon, Master Zhang will go with me, how about it?"

Zhang Juzheng did not refuse. In his opinion, the fact that Zhang Fan will send news back must have something to do with the upcoming war in Liaodong. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he also has the right to know about these things. , It doesn't matter if you go to hear what it is.

It's just that there is one thing that makes him a little bit concerned, why Zhang Fan wants to send the news back like this, and listen, this news can only be seen by Feng Bao, this is what makes Zhang Juzheng a little bit concerned, so Feng Bao said so, he They also passed along together, wanting to see what was going on.

Leaving the palace through the small gate, I happened to see a man dressed like a commoner, leading a horse, waiting there with a dusty look on his face. Obviously, this man had just returned from a long journey and came here directly without resting. This also made Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng frown a little. In such a hurry, the matter would not be small.

Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng have never met Wang Degui, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is Zhang Fan's token, it doesn't matter, and this so-called token is actually Zhang Fan's waist card, which cannot be forged Therefore, both Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng believed that this person was indeed sent by Zhang Fan.

But after the meeting, Wang Degui didn't speak immediately, but Feng Bao immediately understood why, and turned around, obviously knowing that Wang Degui had some important news that he couldn't disclose to outsiders, but Zhang Juzheng, he didn't Zhang Juzheng was not allowed to leave.

Obviously, Wang Degui was not at ease about this either.

"Don't worry," Feng Bao said, "this is Mr. Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Your lord is this Mr. Zhang's disciple. Even if there are only two of you now, I will tell Mr. Zhang later. ,"

Hearing what Feng Bao said, Wang Degui finally felt relieved, took out the letter written by Zhang Fan himself from his pocket, and handed it to Feng Bao.

The letter was very short, actually only a few words. As for the details, Wang Degui had to tell Feng Bao himself. Of course, this was done to prevent any accidents.

However, even if it was just a few short words, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, who had read the letter, frowned.

"What exactly does this mean?" Feng Bao asked, "It's okay to ask me to help, but a thorough investigation, what exactly is the thorough investigation?"

"Elder-in-law, that's the case," Wang Degui said, "Actually, after my lord went to Liaodong, several things happened, but all of them were caused by Wang Gao sending assassins to assassinate Li Chengliang and General Li. The general is of course safe and sound, but the day before yesterday, another assassin appeared, but this time, the target was my lord..." At that moment, Wang Degui told the whole story.

Although at that time, when Zhang Fan was assassinated, Mr. Wang Degui was not in front of him, nor did he see what was going on, but since Zhang Fan asked him to come back to pass on the message, he would naturally tell him what happened. How can I ask Feng Bao to help.

After listening to Wang Degui's words, both Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng began to think about it. This matter sounds more serious than imagined. It is not a big deal that someone will assassinate Zhang Fan. After all, Zhang Fan's position, even If he didn't want to, he would offend many people for no reason. It was normal for someone to want to assassinate Zhang Fan, but Wang Gao would target Zhang Fan for the assassination, which gave people a lot to think about.

Why did Wang Gao send someone to assassinate Zhang Fan? Wang Degui made it clear. He told them that Zhang Fan sent people to assassinate a large number of Wang Gao's generals last year. The only thing he didn't say was that he went to carry it out himself. After all, if you want Feng Bao to help with the investigation, the person on the mission must speak clearly.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng didn't know about this matter before. After hearing Wang Degui's words, he was also taken aback. It's not that there was any problem with this matter itself, but he never thought about his student union. So ruthless, but think about it, yes, after all, Zhang Fan is in charge of Jinyiwei, and it may seem harmless to humans and animals at ordinary times, but if he can't be ruthless at a critical moment, obviously he can't do it.

Feng Bao was not surprised at all. Although Zhang Fan hadn't told him about it before, Feng Bao had already guessed it.

For Feng Bao, as long as he is interested in something, he can definitely find out the problem if someone investigates it. However, Feng Bao did not do this, the reason is that he guessed that Zhang Fan might do this, and he did not want to disturb Zhang Fan. , especially with the potential for problems with such investigations.

Now that this has happened, there is nothing to hide.

Of course, the point today is not to say what Zhang Fan did last year. Let Feng Bao help.

There was a possible mutiny among the Jinyiwei. This situation was not only very eye-catching to Zhang Fan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, but also to Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. After all, Jinyiwei could There are too many things to know, even those with low positions among them can know many secrets. Once a traitor appears, the situation can be big or small, but it is unpredictable.

And Feng Bao also realized the seriousness of this matter,
