The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"What did you say?" Zhang Fan's eyes widened, and he looked at Liang Chao who was still panting heavily in front of him with incredible eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he just said.

"My lord, the humble position means..." Liang Chao gasped for breath at the moment when Zhang Fan died just now, and said, "The humble position means that there are letters and oral messages from the eunuch Feng of Dongchang in the capital, If you want to arrest Liu Shan, you must make sure that you can find Liu Shan's account book."

"How could this be?" Zhang Fan frowned and shouted, then grabbed the letter in Liang Chao's hand, tore off the seal, and eagerly read it.

Seeing that Zhang Fan was reading the letter, Liang Chao had no choice but to wait aside and didn't bother him in the past. However, he looked at Wang Meng with such skill, but found that Wang Meng was looking at Wang Meng with a look of hatred. To himself, Liang Chao couldn't help being startled. He didn't know what happened to Wang Meng. To be honest, when Liang Chao first entered Jinyiwei, Wang Meng was promoted to a hundred households because of his achievements, but because of Wang Meng's somewhat The character of the dull gourd, although the people in Jinyiwei will not have a deadlock with him, they will not get too close to him. Because of this, Wang Meng has not been promoted. No matter how difficult it is, even if he is seriously injured and is about to die, he will fight unrelentingly until he falls down. However, Liang Chao has never seen Wang Meng show such an expression, and it seems that It seems that the object of Wang Meng's anger is still himself. Liang Chao is puzzled, but at the same time, he is also very scared. In this summer, he has goose bumps all over his body.

"So that's what happened," Zhang Fan's words interrupted Wang Meng's glare at Liang Chao, causing Liang Chao to breathe a sigh of relief.

"My lord, what's going on," Wang Meng hurriedly asked. He was very upset now. It was the first time that Zhang Fan was going to act vigorously, but he was interrupted by a letter from Feng Bao. He wanted to listen to it. Hearing what Feng Bao used as an excuse, he interrupted Zhang Fan's movements, "Could it be that Feng Bao is also involved in this matter, and if you want Sir to do this, is it because of his own failure, Sir, don't listen to this Feng Bao. As far as eunuchs are concerned, this group of eunuchs are all the same, let alone this Feng Bao, who thinks that he is now in charge of the East Factory Superintendent, and he can really manage our Jinyiwei."

"Wang Meng, I understand what you mean, but this time, I have to do what Feng Bao said," Zhang Fan said helplessly.

"My lord, why is this?" Wang Meng was a little excited, "Could it be my lord..."

"Wang Meng, you misunderstood, things are not what you think," it was obvious that Wang Meng wanted to go to other places, Zhang Fan hurriedly acted to stop him.

Liang Chao on the side looked at the appearance of the two of them, and didn't understand what was going on at all. However, he has been on duty for so many years, plus the experience and lessons passed down from generations of his family working in the factory guard, let He understood one thing, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, and don't know about things you shouldn't know, even if you know something other than that, you should pretend you don't know it, and then quickly forget it .

"You all know what Feng Bao's letter wants to tell me, but you don't know his real intention," Zhang Fan said rather playfully.

"The real intention," Wang Meng and Liang Chao were a little confused when they heard Zhang Fan's words.

"Feng Bao doesn't care much about this Liu Shan. After all, there is no conflict between the two of them, and Liu Shan is just an ant to Feng Bao. He doesn't even need to move his hands. In a word, this Liu Shan will die. It's settled," Zhang Fan explained, "Feng Bao's real intention is that following this matter, his current chief of ceremonies will be in charge of the eunuch Meng Chong, and his old enemy will be pulled down."

It turned out that the matter was like this. Ever since Zhang Fan found out that Liu Shan was the mastermind behind this whole matter, and he was also inextricably related to Meng Chong in the palace, he wrote this matter into a secret. It's time to play Long Qing, so that Long Qing can know something about the situation here, after all, he has been out for such a long time.

And this note was submitted directly to Long Qing without going through the supervisor of ceremonies, but for some reason, Feng Bao saw it. After Feng Bao knew about it, he was very grateful to Zhang Fan in his heart, after all Zhang Fan's notes mentioned Meng Chong, the person who took his position as the eunuch and the person he hated the most, so Long Qing would very likely remove Meng Chong from his post and investigate. The position of eunuch should belong to Feng Bao. In fact, as early as two years ago when Long Qing first ascended the throne, this position should have belonged to Feng Bao. However, due to Gao Gong's obstruction in many ways, Feng Bao did not get his wish. , and now, Feng Bao's opportunity has come. As long as Meng Chong steps down, this person must be him. Even if Gao Gong wants to obstruct it, I am afraid that the person she recommends will not agree to Long Qing. None of the other eunuchs among the eunuchs, Feng Bao, is qualified to sit in this seat. Moreover, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao have already reached a lot of agreements, and Feng Bao will get more rights one day earlier. The strength will also increase by two points, so when the time comes, Zhang Juzheng will definitely stand up and help Feng Bao speak.

At present, the most important problem is how to help Feng Bao drive Meng Chong out of power, and now this hope is in sight, Long Qing has already known about Meng Chong through the secret document Zhang Fan handed over, but this Feng Bao is Waiting and waiting, but Long Qing just didn't do anything, which made Feng Bao very anxious. Feng Bao couldn't help it, and asked Long Qing why, but the answer he got was that there was insufficient evidence, and Long Qing He believed what Zhang Fan said, but he also had to consider whether someone would use Zhang Fan to pass false news to him. He didn't want to make the mistakes Cao Cao made in Chibi back then, and be used by others to kill his subordinates by mistake. nice guy

When Feng Bao heard it, he had no other choice. After all, Long Qing was right to do so, and Long Qing was not stupid. He didn't believe that his own rhetoric could change Long Qing's mind, but Feng Bao at that time also Not too worried. After all, Zhang Fan will definitely bring back the most authentic evidence when he finally returns. He also believes that Meng Chong does have a very close relationship with Liu Shan. Anyway, Feng Bao has been waiting for two years. What's the big deal about two months.

But at this time, the spies under the Dongchang who he was in charge of reported to him a piece of news, saying that Meng Chong also got the news from nowhere, and even though this Meng Chong had a cold, the world was so bad that he did not want to do something. It was an unreasonable thing, but he was very timid. When he learned that Long Qing might know about himself and Liu Shan, he was so frightened that he ran to Gao Gong's mansion as quickly as possible to ask for a solution.

As a result, after Gao Gong found out about Meng Chong, he immediately wanted to drive him out. After all, although Gao Gong tried his best to exclude dissidents, he had harmed many people during this period, but he would never break the law blatantly. He would cooperate with Meng Chong because he also liked that Meng Chong was a timid person, but he didn't expect that Meng Chong was not afraid of things at all.

Seeing Gao Gong's attitude, Meng Chong immediately knelt in front of Gao Gong, begging for anything, saying that he himself was not the creator of the corruption in the south of the Yangtze River, but only saw that there was money in it, so he tried to contact him When I went to Liushan, I wanted a piece of the pie. I thought it was a seamless plan, but who knew that a Zhang Fan would come out of the plains. During this period, Meng Chong was also very worried. Now that he knows his future is not good, how can he? There is no reason not to call for help immediately.

Gao Gong also saw that Meng Chong was pitiful, and he had indeed helped him a lot in delivering the memorial during his visit, so he agreed. At that time, if Zhang Fan wanted to report to Long Qing If the matter has something to do with Meng Chong, then Gao Gong will stand up and calmly ask Zhang Fan to produce evidence to speak out. For one thing, Meng Chong might be able to escape this catastrophe, and he could also completely clear up his relationship with Liu Shan. If Zhang Fan really presented some evidence, then things would be easy to handle. Gao Gong would definitely not Those who would cause trouble for themselves would just silently step aside and let Meng Chong fend for himself.

It sounds like Gao Gong's promise to Meng Chong is not very reliable. He didn't do anything at all. It's all up to God to let Zhang Fan find evidence. But at this moment, Meng Chong has no choice but to Thank you Gao Gong for being able to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

But how can Meng Chong, a cowardly person, feel completely relieved? If something happens, he will be in the palace every day and he will not be able to run. He has also thought about many ways out, but the most The insurance is to let Liu Shan destroy the account books. For this reason, Meng Chong sent someone to Yangzhou to inform Liu Shan of this matter, but the Dongchang spies under Feng Bao are not vegetarians. Feng Bao also sent a large number of his subordinates to intercept and kill the people sent by Meng Chong, and Meng Chong had no choice but to continue to send people to notify Liu Shan, and Feng Bao continued to send people to intercept and kill , and so on, the capital has now reached such an extreme level of intensity.

That's why Feng Baocai sent a letter asking Zhang Fan to get Liu Shan's account books and use them to overthrow Meng Chong and replace him.

After listening to this, Wang Meng fell silent. He really did not expect that a large-scale corruption group would turn into the current situation.

"My lord is going to promise him," Wang Meng asked.

"That's right, why not," Zhang Fan asked back, "Although this Feng Bao is no different from other eunuchs, he also wants power and loves money, but he also has some political opinions. If he can help him this time, he will definitely help him." Remember my favor, when the time comes, whether it's my Jin Yiwei's business or the teacher's business, it will be easy to talk to him, "

"So, what does your lord mean..." Liang Chao asked.

"What I mean is, let's stand still for the time being," Zhang Fan continued. "We will wait until we are sure we can get Liu Shan's account book. Don't worry, we have won this battle now. I just Just let it win perfectly,"
