The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"teacher,"

The first person Zhang Fan went to look for was naturally Zhang Juzheng, regardless of the gap between him and Zhang Juzheng, or Zhang Fan's unilateral mistrust, but when something like this happened, Zhang Fan was the first to go. The person who went back to look for it was still Zhang Juzheng. This can be said to be a kind of inertia or a kind of recognition. As long as the matter between the two has not been discussed in person, Zhang Juzheng will always be the same in Zhang Fan's eyes. The appearance of the assistant tutor.

"Yuande recently, what do you need to ask me?" Zhang Juzheng asked politely when he saw that it was Zhang Fan. Now Zhang Juzheng was at home, and it was almost noon at this time, which was the time when thousands of households were preparing to have lunch.

"Teacher, something is wrong," Zhang Fan immediately told Zhang Juzheng about Minister Wang, and even told Zhang Juzheng what happened after Feng Bao came and Feng Bao took him away.

After listening to Zhang Fan's narration, Zhang Juzheng naturally lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

But Zhang Fan understands the importance of the matter now, and time does not wait for others, so he said in a hurry: "Students are here, please think of something quickly, so that this matter can be understood smoothly. The matter is very important. If it is used by someone with a heart, General Qi Jiguang, who is now guarding the frontier, is very important. If there is any change, the capital will be in danger, and... and the students are afraid that someone will implicate this matter to Gao who has now retired. Go up, when Gao Gong dies, I'm afraid I don't have to think about the current liquidation, I don't know how many people in the court will be implicated by it, and a bloodbath is inevitable."

In Zhang Fan's remarks, he didn't name who he was, but used the word "a person with a heart", but no matter who he was, he understood that this "a person with a heart" refers to no one but Feng Bao.

However, Zhang Juzheng's behavior after hearing his words surprised Zhang Fan a little. He had thought that maybe Zhang Juzheng would do what he hoped, and after being surprised, he tried his best to help him. Of course, Zhang Fan also I thought about it, maybe Zhang Juzheng is already leaning towards Feng Bao now, and he will tell himself a lot of truth, but in the end he wants to condone this happening.

But Zhang Fan never expected that Zhang Juzheng, who had heard about these things, would actually ignore them, as if the world was peaceful now.

"Teacher, you should say something." Although Zhang Juzheng was like this, Zhang Fan couldn't wait any longer, and immediately asked, "Now that this matter is imminent, how can you not say a word, teacher?"

"What did you ask me to say?" Finally, Zhang Juzheng said helplessly, "You also said that this matter is imminent now, and Feng Bao has already made up his mind to put this shit pot on Gao Gong's head , I haven’t met the Minister Wang, but it must be easy to get a person to confess some unfounded things with Dongchang’s methods.”

"Could it be that we just sit there and ignore it, and let Feng Bao stir up trouble in the court?" Zhang Fan asked in surprise, "Students know that Feng Bao has quite political opinions, and he is not the same as the teacher. It's also compatible, and the teacher also wants to use his strength to promote the New Deal, but these are not the reasons why the teacher can let Feng Bao randomly plant and kill people. By then, all the people of insight in the court have been killed by Feng Bao Now, if that's the case, even if the teacher's New Deal goes smoothly, what's the point?"

"Do you think I don't understand all this?" Zhang Juzheng showed a grumpy look in front of Zhang Fan for the first time, "But now, what can I do? Do you think I just go and talk to Feng Bao like this? Otherwise, Feng Bao will see that I let Gao Gong off for the sake of my face. What's more, this matter is so serious that even if Feng Bao himself will not pursue it, Empress Dowager Li will definitely not let it go. implicated,"

"But, you can't just sit around and do nothing," Zhang Fan said with an eager look on his face, "No matter how much you can't do about it, you have to give it a try."

However, after Zhang Fan finished speaking this sentence, after waiting for a long time, Zhang Juzheng did not speak again, which made Zhang Fan extremely disappointed, no matter from his expression or heart, he was very disappointed.

"The teacher doesn't want to come forward, the students can understand," Zhang Fan didn't say anything to blame Zhang Juzheng, but after saying this, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Stop," Zhang Juzheng saw that Zhang Fan's expression was wrong at this time, and immediately stopped him, "What are you going to do?"

"The students are not talented, but I don't want to sit back and watch such things," Zhang Fan said without turning his head, "No matter what, the students want to do something."

"You idiot," Zhang Juzheng got angry at Zhang Fan for the first time and scolded him, "Now that the former emperor has passed away, the new emperor trusts you the most, but the one who is in power at the moment is the Queen Mother Li. You, but Empress Dowager Li trusts Feng Bao the most, it is impossible for you to defeat Feng Bao now, and you may even involve yourself in it."

"Students understand," Zhang Fan said after taking a deep breath, "but students still can't sit idly by." After speaking, Zhang Fan was about to leave again.

"You..." Zhang Juzheng stopped speaking halfway.

At this time, Zhang Fan also stopped again, as if he was waiting for Zhang Juzheng to change his mind.

"Oh..." After a long time, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sighed, "I still can't help you, but..."

Frankly speaking, Zhang Fan was very disappointed that Zhang Juzheng couldn't help him, but Zhang Fan was not incomprehensible. He knew that Zhang Juzheng was in the court, and he had endured it for a long time since Xu Jie's time, until Gao Gong, and now Finally, he won the cloud to see the sunrise, and finally had a strong support like Feng Bao standing at the peak of power and supporting himself. Naturally, Zhang Juzheng didn't want to give up this favorable opportunity, and chose to fight against him at this time. This Zhang Juzheng Anything understandable.

But now, Zhang Juzheng's "but" also raised hope in Zhang Fan's heart.

"I don't know if this is possible, but now is an opportunity," Zhang Juzheng said.

"Teacher, quickly tell me what should be done," Zhang Fan asked hastily.

"If this kind of thing happened the day before yesterday, there must be nothing you can do as a teacher," Zhang Juzheng said, "but it was different yesterday,"

"The teacher means..." Zhang Fan seemed to have thought of it too.

"Well, that's right," Zhang Juzheng said, "You should go to Master Ge Shouli right now."

"Sure enough," after hearing Zhang Juzheng's proposal, Zhang Fan thought so too.

"Master Ge is now the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate," Zhang Juzheng said, "The proposal of the censor cannot be ignored by either His Majesty or the Queen Mother. Maybe there will be a turning point, "

"It's just..." Zhang Fan said this, with a worried look on his face, "I'm afraid that Master Ge alone is not enough to make this happen. The students understand that if Master Ge listens to this matter He will stand up and speak out without the student's request, but although Mr. Ge is the censor of Zuodu, but now Feng Bao is in power, I am afraid that Mr. Ge alone is powerless, "

"The students understand this in their hearts," Zhang Fan said with a complicated expression while looking at Zhang Juzheng, "but even so, Mr. Ge will still try his best to invite the Queen Mother at the risk, although this is not wise, and even equal to Yu Tang is like a chariot, but Mr. Ge will not back down, "

Zhang Fan didn't know what was wrong with him, he said such words to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Fan's expression became more complicated after he finished speaking, but there was no expression of regret on his face It seems that Zhang Fan has already made up his mind about these changes of Zhang Juzheng, but this does not mean that Zhang Fan will stand against Zhang Juzheng from now on.

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, coupled with the expression on Zhang Fan's face, Zhang Juzheng showed a look of embarrassment and loneliness, but Zhang Juzheng did not show such "disrespect" to Zhang Fan in the end. There was no dissatisfaction, or maybe, he thought that Zhang Fan treated him like this, which he "deserved".

"Master Ge's style of work, I am extremely admired and ashamed," Zhang Juzheng said, his words were very sincere, "But Yuande, you have to understand that determination is not enough for this matter, if so , not only can't make things turn around, but it may also make Feng Bao think that this matter should be accelerated. If Master Ge is hated by Feng Bao because of this, it will be troublesome.

"It must be known that Mr. Ge is famous for being upright and honest, but to the common people, Mr. Ge is not well-known. On the contrary, although Feng Bao is very capable and ambitious, the common people, especially the capital The common people here have praised Feng Bao's name, so we must be very careful in this matter, and there must be no mistakes."

"The student has thought of this." Zhang Fan's expression has softened a lot at the moment, but it has also become a lot firmer. "So the student plans to play with Mr. Ge."

"No, it's not enough," Zhang Juzheng didn't object, but said, "It's not enough just to have you, your current weight is not enough to make this happen,"

"What does the teacher mean," Zhang Fan asked humbly.

"One more person is needed, a person who is qualified in the court but also has an upright heart to stand up," Zhang Juzheng said.

"The teacher has someone in mind," Zhang Fan asked.

"Nowadays, with Feng Bao's liquidation in the court, there are not many people who dare to speak up," Zhang Juzheng said without thinking, "But besides Mr. Ge, there is one more person."

"who is it,"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Yang Bo," Zhang Juzheng said,
