The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Feng Bao's house, to be honest, it is quite good, although he is a eunuch, but he is not an arrogant eunuch, often he is relatively low-key, just like his yard, it does not occupy much Zhang Fan's is bigger, and the terrain is a little worse than Zhang Fan's. It's bad, but it's actually a little farther away from the Forbidden City, but this place is not bad, it's better than being quiet.

At half past three in the morning, several people arrived with Feng Bao.

Along the way, Ge Shouli talked and laughed with Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Fan didn't talk to him very much. If someone asked him, he would answer with a smile. It was completely coping, but fortunately The other three people didn't seem to put their minds on Zhang Fan, so they didn't pay too much attention to his absent-mindedness.

As for Zhang Fan, he was thinking about what happened this morning. After the morning court was over, when the few people came out of the hall, Zhang Fan could also see that the ministers were all looking at him with weird and worried eyes. Here, even though Zhang Fan understands that he is not the protagonist in this, he always feels that many of the ministers' eyes are staring at him.

After Zhang Fan returned home yesterday, he thought for a long time about what he should do today, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Don't talk, and Zhang Fan also understands in his heart that although Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng invited him, none of them has ever talked to him in the past two days. It can be seen that Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng let him go. It's just filling the scene, not letting him play any role.

But Zhang Fan was just worried that if the two of them wanted to do something and plot against Ge Shouli, Zhang Fan didn't want to see such a situation at all.

Immediately, although he was not too firm yet, Zhang Fan had already made up his mind, that is, he would not open his mouth to see what was going on and what Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng were planning. If they were just bluffing, If he wanted to frighten Ge Shouli, there would be no need for Zhang Fan to speak at all. Besides, based on the Ge Shouli Zhang Fan knew, he would not be intimidated by a few words at all.

However, if Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng wanted to do some dirty tricks, Zhang Fan couldn't sit idly by.

Zhang Fan didn't make up his mind until several people arrived at Feng Bao's house.

In spring, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, competing for splendor, and there are indeed a lot of exotic flowers and plants planted in the yard of Feng Bao's house. Now it is in full bloom, and being in it, the body feels fresh and the mood is extremely carefree , but obviously, the four people who came here were not thinking about the word "appreciating flowers" at all, but after admiring them, they began to talk.

It's just that at the beginning, of course, they wouldn't point directly to the subject, and mostly talked about recent knowledge or affairs in the court. Zhang Fan didn't keep his mouth shut at this time. After a few people talked, the atmosphere was harmonious. very.

Zhang Fan even thought maliciously in his heart, why there are so many flowers and plants planted in Feng Bao's house, could it be that this person's body has been eunuched, and this mentality will also be eunuched.

Speaking of Zhang Fan, this is indeed a bit inappropriate. In this era, there are naturally such witty and elegant people. It’s okay even if a man’s house is full of flowers and plants. Zhang Fan’s backyard is still planted with green onions, but the owner If it were a eunuch, that would be a different matter.

Speaking of it, this is also a kind of malicious ridicule towards the eunuch, or it can also be said that Zhang Fan has begun to disagree with Feng Bao in his heart. Of course, now it is only in the latent consciousness, and this kind of thinking is not yet It didn't appear very clearly in Zhang Fan's mind, but since this seed has been buried, no matter how slow it grows, there will always be a day when it will take root.

The banquet at noon was very simple, there were no big fish or meat or expensive dishes, just a few simple home-cooked dishes, but obviously, Feng Bao really put his heart into it, no matter who ate it Repeatedly praised, and this is not a compliment, it is just like that, Zhang Fan is used to eating this kind of dish at home on weekdays, now that Feng Bao cooks it, not only does he not feel tired, but it feels refreshing.

Drinking before flowers is indeed a beautiful thing.

Although there were only four of them, they seemed to be having a good time. At least from Zhang Fan's point of view, Zhang Juzheng was in a good mood. Zhang Fan knew his drinking capacity. If it was normal, Zhang Juzheng would have been drunk a long time ago, but now , Zhang Juzheng's appearance, his complexion was reddish, obviously just a little drunk.

"Today is really fun," Feng Bao said, "Today, the three adults are honored and come to the humble house, and they are full of splendor. Mr. Zhang is the chief minister, and Mr. Ge is also the elder of the three dynasties. They are all the pillars of my dynasty. , and Master Zhang is young and promising, with a promising future, the three of you are usually busy with business, but today you accepted our invitation, and you have to come here in the midst of your busy schedule, our family is really sorry."

While talking, Feng Bao picked up the wine glass, and the other three naturally raised their glasses to drink together when they saw this. Although Feng Bao's words were indeed some beautiful official words, he was not wrong. The three of them are indeed busy on weekdays. Like Zhang Juzheng and Ge Shouli, they have to deal with a lot of things every day, and Zhang Fan may be the one who has the most leisure time.

However, Zhang Fan's leisure is only to a certain extent, because Jinyiwei does not have any fixed things. Although they monitor people every day, something does not happen every day, but Zhang Fan cannot predict when Something will happen, so speaking of it, Zhang Fan's side is either nothing happened, or something unexpected, and most of the sudden things are big things.

But obviously, in order to come to Feng Bao's place for a banquet today, everyone should not bother with any official business. After all, after drinking this meal, the delay will not only be as simple as a noon, but they will drink it all. A little dizzy, do you want to do some business this afternoon?

Besides, no one knows what will happen next at noon today.

"Eunuch Xie's words," Ge Shouli drank the wine in his glass and said, "Ge is just doing his own duty for the sake of the court and His Majesty."

"Master Ge's words are good," Zhang Juzheng said, "We are just doing our duty, nothing else,"

Zhang Fan watched the three talking, but he didn't intend to interrupt. He knew in his heart that no matter what happened next, it had already begun.

At this time, Feng Bao put down the cup in his hand, pointed to an apricot tree in the corner of the yard, and said, "A branch of red apricot comes out of the wall, and I love the inside as well as the outside."

At this moment, Zhang Fan really let go of his heart. As soon as Feng Bao said this, he understood Feng Bao's plan to entertain Ge Shouli. Feng Bao didn't want to plot against Ge Shouli, but just He just wanted to threaten him. In this case, Zhang Fan decided to follow Ge Shouli's wishes and would not speak.

Although Feng Bao recited a line of poetry, the meaning in it was too obvious, and he almost couldn't say it clearly.

A branch of red apricot refers to Feng Bao himself. Now that this red apricot is out of the wall, it means that Feng Bao has finally risen to the top and is in power. He is no longer blocked by the wall of Gao Gong like in the past. It is impossible to show its demeanor.

In the past, Feng Bao was blocked by the high arch, and he could only show his posture inside, and could only be trusted by the emperor, but not recognized by outsiders. Now, it is good, without the cover of this wall, it is the love inside and the outside. Love, he Feng Bao is now a big celebrity, the emperor trusts him, and the Queen Mother Li who is in power trusts him. Outside, although the officials in the court are afraid of his power, they still look forward to him no matter what.

And in this case, Feng Bao is a big hit, so it doesn't make sense for you, Ge Shouli, to stop his progress. Moreover, in Feng Bao's view, you, Ge Shouli, are sticking to your own opinions, but you can't do anything about the general trend. If everyone falls to Feng Bao, then you should follow this meaning and submit to him.

This poem by Feng Bao can be said to be very domineering. Although he did not say what would happen to Ge Shouli if he refused, the meaning is quite clear. If Ge Shouli refused to obey him, I am afraid that in the future There will be no small trouble.

Zhang Fan was planning to see how Ge Shouli would answer, but who knew that Zhang Juzheng would speak next.

"Zhangchen helped me cross the bridge east, you depend on me, and I depend on you,"

As soon as these words were said, Zhang Fan and Ge Shouli were a little surprised.

To be honest, although Zhang Juzheng is now standing by Feng Bao's side and helping him to liquidate the officials in the court, in the final analysis, Zhang Juzheng is not as crazy as Feng Bao, but Zhang Fan never thought that Zhang Juzheng would be like this.

Could it be that Zhang Juzheng lost even his dignity in order to achieve his goal?

Zhang Juzheng is a cane. Zhang Juzheng said that he relied on Feng Bao to obtain the position of chief assistant, and now even he, the cabinet chief assistant scholar, has already relied on Feng Bao. What reason do you have for Ge Shouli? He's fighting it out.

But both of them didn't understand that Zhang Juzheng didn't fall for Feng Bao wholeheartedly, it was because he couldn't say anything different in front of Feng Bao, he could only say this to reassure Feng Bao.

What Zhang Juzheng really wanted to say was, even if you, Ge Shouli, disagreed with Feng Bao, why would you kneel down and do it with him? These things have nothing to do with Ge Shouli, as long as he can let go and let him go, he will be fine.

Obviously, Ge Shouli was not that kind of person, and he would definitely not be able to do that kind of thing.

However, Zhang Fan's views on Zhang Juzheng have changed again.
