The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Yuande, you're here," Zhang Juzheng said to Zhang Fan who came to him.

Nodding his head, Zhang Fan said, "Teacher, what's the matter, Mr. Ge..."

Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything, but responded to Zhang Fan with a smile. Zhang Fan was naturally not stupid. Seeing his appearance, he understood that Ge Shouli must have agreed to Zhang Juzheng's request to help him in the officialdom. Among them, the "Testing Method" was publicized, but what Zhang Fan actually wanted to ask was not just this question. Although Zhang Juzheng didn't know if he had noticed it, it was just that Zhang Fan had already had a question of his own. After thinking about it, he understood that Ge Shouli would definitely agree to Zhang Juzheng's request on this matter. After all, Ge Shouli always puts the overall situation first, and puts anything that can bring benefits to the court and the country in the first place. The first one, even in the face of Zhang Juzheng who had insulted him extremely, he would still be like this.

But what Zhang Fan wanted to ask was not just the answer he had already guessed, but now he just wanted to confirm it. What Zhang Fan really wanted to know was actually another matter. Yesterday Zhang Juzheng went to Ge Shouli for help. Before he went, he was with Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan naturally would not forget that the reason Zhang Juzheng and he said at that time was to apologize to Ge Shouli.

But now, what Zhang Fan wanted to ask Zhang Juzheng was actually this matter. He wanted to know whether Ge Shouli had accepted Zhang Juzheng's apology. However, Zhang Fan didn't want to ask these words. I understand, but, obviously, Zhang Juzheng only thought about the "Taochengfa" in his mind, but he ignored that matter. Perhaps, for Zhang Juzheng, even if he apologized to Ge Shouli, it would be nothing more than an apology. This form is just a condition for seeking help.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's appearance, Zhang Fan was disappointed again. It seems that Zhang Juzheng really didn't take the apology seriously.

However, since Zhang Juzheng couldn't remember it, or didn't care about it, Zhang Fan didn't intend to just let it go, whether it was from Zhang Fan's personal curiosity or reason From the above, he really wanted to know what was going on.

"Teacher," after thinking it over, Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked, "What the students want to ask is not this matter. Seeing the teacher's smile, the students can naturally understand that the matter must be settled." , the student wants to ask the teacher, Mr. Ge, did he...accept the teacher's apology?"

Hearing Zhang Fan mentioning this matter, Zhang Juzheng's expression on the front froze immediately, and Zhang Fan was paying attention to Zhang Juzheng's expression at first, and saw that after hearing his question, the expression on his face changed. He also understood this subtle change. Obviously, things must be in trouble.

If it is troublesome, it is actually only related to Zhang Juzheng and Ge Shouli, but from Zhang Fan's point of view, the feelings between the two are similar.

Let’s start with Ge Shouli. With Zhang Juzheng’s status, he can come to apologize to him in person. I am afraid that even if Ge Shouli treats Zhang Juzheng differently, he will accept the apology to a large extent, and his feelings will be much better. However, if Ge Shouli found out that Zhang Juzheng went to apologize to him for another purpose, even if that purpose was a major event that was beneficial to the world, Ge Shouli would definitely feel a little uncomfortable.

And Zhang Juzheng's situation is the same, with his current status, he can go to Ge Shouli in person, no matter whether he did it for other purposes or not, but he definitely did it with great determination. However, in the end, Ge Shouli did not accept his apology, which probably dealt a great blow or frustration to Zhang Juzheng.

And seeing the expression on Zhang Juzheng's face, Zhang Fan already knew that Ge Shouli definitely did not accept Zhang Juzheng's apology, but because of the particularity of this matter, even if Ge Shouli did not accept it, it can be divided into two situations .

"Naturally." Although Zhang Ju's expression on the front was clearly not a happy one, the words he said didn't mean that, "I've already come forward in person, and Master Ge naturally has no reason not to accept me. I'm sorry,"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng's expression and hearing his words, Zhang Fan already fully understood what he looked like at that time. It must be. After Zhang Juzheng left, when Ge Shouli learned that he was here to apologize , Although he won't show how happy he is, his mood will definitely not be bad.

No matter how serious Ge Shouli's opinion of Zhang Juzheng was, since Zhang Juzheng really came to apologize, he had absolutely no reason not to accept it.

However, after Zhang Juzheng apologized, he wanted to tell the original intention of going this time. He wanted Ge Shouli to help lobby the officials in the court so that those who remained neutral could stand up and agree with Zhang Juzheng's "" Even if it is against the implementation of the Examination Law, even if it cannot make them agree, it can only make them stop speaking on this matter, which is enough for Zhang Juzheng.

And things are exactly as Zhang Fan thought, even if Zhang Juzheng's request to Ge Shouli is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, but Zhang Juzheng's apology with a purpose, even if it is placed on anyone , I'm afraid they won't feel good.

This is especially true for Ge Shouli. He was so insulted by Zhang Juzheng. Although Zhang Juzheng didn't come to apologize to him after that, and he didn't even mean to repent at all, Ge Shouli was not completely incomprehensible. Knowing that it is quite difficult for Zhang Juzheng to humbly apologize to him, whether it is public or private.

But yesterday, Zhang Juzheng went and apologized to him. Ge Shouli was naturally very happy when he encountered this situation. However, this joy did not last even an hour, and Zhang Juzheng Suddenly the unspoken request turned into a bad mood.

However, Zhang Fan still understands a little bit. Although it is a bit shameless to do so, based on Zhang Fan's understanding of Zhang Juzheng, since he has something to ask for, and it is something that must be successful for him, so he naturally Some special means will also be used. For example, in this matter, even if Zhang Fan was not present at the time, it was conceivable.

Inevitably, after Zhang Juzheng made an apology and before he made a request, Ge Shouli had to accept his apology first. Of course, it was not necessary to be so straightforward. Ge Shouli did not have to say to Zhang Juzheng: "I accept your apology. "It may be just a different sentence, he doesn't even have to open his mouth, just a look, let Zhang Juzheng understand that Ge Shouli has accepted his apology, that's enough, and then Zhang Juzheng will speak Ask Ge Shouli for help.

I have to say that Zhang Juzheng's plan is definitely good, because in their current status, it is impossible to easily backtrack on what they say. Ge Shouli naturally won't, but Zhang Juzheng is also impossible. Even for Zhang Fan who knows a lot about the situation, He also knows that this principle is also applicable to those who are treacherous and evil, and corrupt officials.

Just like Zhang Juzheng and Ge Shouli, Zhang Juzheng did something to apologize to Ge Shouli, but now, he went to apologize to Ge Shouli, if he didn’t say it, that’s fine, but since he said it, he wouldn’t take it back, even if Ge Shouli didn’t Accept his apology, and he will not take it back.

And for Ge Shouli, the reasoning is the same. Zhang Juzheng apologized to himself, so he was naturally happy. Besides, Zhang Juzheng had already come to him in person and said the words of apology. No matter how upset Zhang Juzheng felt, he would not ignore it at all. Even if he didn't want to, since he had already said it, he would naturally agree to it.

However, Ge Shouli had just accepted Zhang Juzheng's apology, but Zhang Juzheng immediately changed his appearance and said he wanted to ask him for help. Even if it wasn't for Ge Shouli, even if he was a person with a better temper, he probably wouldn't be able to accept this kind of thing. .

However, this is exactly where Zhang Juzheng is smart. He understands that doing so will only anger Ge Shouli more, but now that Zhang Juzheng wants his own affairs to go smoothly and ensure nothing goes wrong, he just can't take care of that much.

And if this was the case, Ge Shouli would actually have no way to refuse it. Let alone this matter, it was a good thing that benefited the country and the people. But now, Zhang Juzheng has apologized, and you, Ge Shouli, have already accepted the apology, so what reason do you have for refusing, and besides, this matter is a good thing, you, Ge Shouli, have always done your best for the court, and now Zhang Juzheng The conflict between Zheng and you can be regarded as temporarily resolved. In fact, Ge Shouli can't find any reason to oppose Zhang Juzheng.

Moreover, Ge Shouli can't act like a rogue in the market. No matter what, if he doesn't help, Ge Shouli can't do it.

So, in fact, Zhang Juzheng did this, and Ge Shouli had no room to object.

However, Zhang Fan also understood that what Zhang Juzheng did not only failed to resolve the conflict between the two so far, but even deepened it.

Between gains and losses, I am afraid that even Zhang Juzheng himself may not be able to figure it out clearly.
