The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Regarding Ge Shouli's departure, Zhang Fan had some considerations in his mind. Could it be that Ge Shouli was unwilling to help him because he saw Zhang Fan, and was unwilling to help him for fear of getting into trouble, so Ge ​​Shouli felt very angry. left.

The moment Ge Shouli left, Zhang Fan really had such thoughts in his heart, but after Ge Shouli left, Zhang Fan understood that Ge Shouli would definitely not act like that, and he, Ge Shouli, was really not that kind of person. Too straightforward, just say what you really have, and will never give anyone face or anything like that. He can achieve what he is today, except for his own ingenuity, which is entirely his kind. There is no reason not to speak unless it is absolutely necessary.

This is not because Ge Shouli is trying to gain fame and let everyone know that Ge Shouli is a person who is loyal to the court and the world, but he has never been in any trouble. The reason why Ge Shouli did this is because he understands that if he pays too much attention to everything , If you can't let it go, it will be a small loss.

You may be able to save a lot of people, but most of them are insignificant people. Not only will you not get any results, but you will also offend a large number of people because of this. Not to mention causing trouble for yourself in the future, for those who are already wary of you It is quite difficult for those who get up to come up with any ideas, and in the future, if something big happens and you need to stand up, you will not be able to accomplish it when you are already full of enemies.

Ge Shouli was just waiting for the opportunity, and before the critical moment, he would stand up without hesitation and play his role, and every time he, a quiet person, stood up, the effect would be remarkable.

Such a person is a person who really knows how to take the overall situation into consideration, not just giving up long-term plans for the sake of short-term benefits. Zhang Fan admires him quite a lot.

And because of this, Zhang Fan understands that Ge Shouli's heart is quite broad-minded, and he will never say what he means, and say what he says and what he thinks. Therefore, what Ge Shouli said before he left just now was not an irony, but his words. The true thoughts in my heart at that time.

However, in this way, Zhang Fan felt even more distressed. Ge Shouli came back to him today because Zhang Fan was more familiar with Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng than he was. It is also much more convenient to talk. If Zhang Fan came forward, things would be easier to handle.

However, after all, Zhang Fan refused to help him for the sake of the country's righteousness. The reason was not that Zhang Fan was unwilling, but because Zhang Fan understood that in the current situation, even if he stepped forward, even Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao verbally agreed to his "rude" request, but in private, Feng Bao would definitely not stop, and it was even possible that Feng Bao would act even more recklessly. If that was the case, Zhang Fan Wouldn't it be counterproductive?

However, Ge Shouli knows that it is not an option to let it go and not ask. No matter whether this hard work will have any results, someone must stand up and say something. After all, if the current momentum continues like this, the loss is really huge. too big.

That's why Ge Shouli decided to put aside his forbearance, this time he was ready to go all out, and he had to come up with a result before he could give up.

What Zhang Fan was worried about was whether Ge Shouli's impulsive actions would bring about any negative effects, or create some unfavorable situations for him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't sit still any longer, and he called Liang Chao to inquire about the matter.

Liang Chao who came here didn't know what happened, but seeing Zhang Fan's anxious look, he knew that the matter must be serious, so he didn't ask any more questions, so he followed Zhang Fan's order to inquire. .

What Zhang Fan wanted to inquire about was not a secret, he was just asked to find out where Ge Shouli was now, and the whereabouts of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao.

However, the matter happened to be very coincidental. Today, Feng Bao invited Zhang Juzheng to his house to talk about it. This matter is not something that is kept secret. Anyone can know it after a little inquiring, and Ge Shouli is naturally no exception.

After he knew the news, he naturally went straight to Gao Gong's mansion.

After Zhang Fan heard the news, he was naturally extremely nervous. He was afraid that Ge Shouli would go over and cause some conflict with Feng Bao if he didn't agree with each other, which would be bad.

There was no way to sit still, so Zhang Fan hurriedly got up and went to Feng Bao's mansion, so that if something happened, he could mediate from the side. What, and for Feng Bao who is in charge of Dongji Shichang, Zhang Fan has no way to install someone in his mansion to investigate the situation, but Zhang Fan still ordered Liang Chao to send people to keep an eye on Feng Bao's mansion. If something happens, he needs to know immediately.

But at this time, when Feng Bao's house had appeared in Zhang Fan's eyes, a wonderful thing happened. Zhang Fan saw Ge Shouli walking out of the gate of Feng Bao's house with his own eyes. I couldn't see clearly what kind of expression Ge Shouli had on his face.

But after Ge Shouli came out of Feng Bao's house, he didn't stop at all, and went back directly into the sedan chair.

What happened in front of him really made Zhang Fan a little confused. He didn't know what happened to Feng Bao's house in that short period of time just now.

Obviously, whether Ge Shouli went in to dissuade Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, or Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng dismissed Ge Shouli's words, or there was some conflict between the two parties about this matter, it was obvious that No amount of time is enough.

Could it be that Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng agreed immediately after Ge Shouli went in and said this? Feng Bao is also here, so this is impossible. Feng Bao is proud of himself now. Although he is a eunuch, he holds great power. Who would dare to deny him three points? Therefore, Feng Bao is also arrogant now. Incomparably, even in the face of someone like Ge Shouli, Feng Bao would never back down.

In other words, as soon as Ge Shouli went in to explain the matter, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng immediately refused verbally, and then Ge Shouli, who knew that there was nothing to be done, retreated in the face of difficulties, immediately gave up his plan, and went back home.

This is even more impossible. Zhang Fan knew all about Ge Shouli's determination in Zhang Fan's mansion before. Mentality went to see Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng.

Such a Ge Shouli, with such determination, how could it be possible for Ge Shouli to give up the plan in his heart with a few light words of rejection, and turn around and leave.

Zhang Fan, who was very confused in his heart, lightly pulled the rein and stopped the horse under his crotch. The people who came with him, seeing Zhang Fan stop, also stopped their horseshoes. Seeing Zhang Fan thinking, they all stopped. They didn't bother, they were all waiting.

However, Zhang Fan, after thinking for a long time, did not come up with a reason at all. The situation in front of him was too incredible.

In fact, Zhang Fan didn't need to bother so much. Not far ahead was the gate of Feng Bao's house. He went in now. Based on his relationship with Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, if he asked, they would definitely tell Zhang Fan. What happened just now.

However, I don't know if it was because of the conversation Ge Shouli had just had with him earlier that Zhang Fan suddenly didn't want to see Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng very much.

This kind of feeling is really mysterious, but it doesn't make people think there is anything wrong. After all, before this, Zhang Fan was dissatisfied with the behavior of the two of them. The words Gong said to him before leaving made him confirm the thoughts in his heart.

However, even if it was confirmed, Zhang Fan still naively hoped that it was not true. The main reason for this was that Zhang Juzheng was also in it. For this teacher, who would bring revival to the Ming Dynasty in the future, he could Zhang Fan didn't want to doubt the person who was called the Minister of Honggu.

But after Ge Shouli's conversation with him just now, Zhang Fan's mind has changed. Although he is still very affirmative and supportive of what Zhang Juzheng will do in the future, and he will definitely help in the future, but at this moment, he But suddenly it didn't feel like seeing him at all.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng did something wrong, and he did nothing wrong. It is true that Gao Gong was caught by Feng Bao because he informed Feng Bao, and he was kicked out of the capital and returned to his hometown. It is a political struggle. For anyone, it is not wrong to use any means to get rid of their political opponents. After all, there have been too many people doing this in the world for thousands of years.

After Gao Gong left, Feng Bao continued to clean up those who had stood beside Gao Gong. This was not wrong. After all, there was nothing wrong with consolidating his own victory, but Zhang Juzheng ignored Feng Bao's deeds, and even It's not wrong to have a plan to help each other. After all, he participated in the beginning of the matter and stepped in later, so there is nothing to criticize.

But Zhang Fan couldn't agree with this.

I'm afraid even Zhang Fan didn't realize that he had this kind of thoughts, not because he really opposed these things, if Zhang Fan encountered such things himself, he would do the same.

In fact, it was just that an image of incomparable integrity collapsed in Zhang Fan's heart, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

Seeing Zhang Fan not moving for a long time, Liang Chao couldn't help asking, "My lord..."

"Go back," Zhang Fan said with a sigh,
