The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"However, my lord, are you in a hurry to leave today?" Liang Chao asked, "It's not that I have any other ideas. It's just that there was a dispute between my lord and Feng Bao this morning. My lord will shoot this afternoon. Going out will arouse Feng Bao's suspicion, "

"No, it's actually the opposite," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "If I had delayed for a few days, or told you to go tomorrow, then Feng Bao would have thought that I had come up with something, but today, it's not Yes, after all, even though I didn't know how much Feng Bao suspected me, he was absolutely not sure that I would know that he was manipulating this matter. If I let you go out today, although he would doubt me, But it won’t be very deep. Thinking about it, he is not sure if I can come up with any solution in such a short period of time. Before he hesitates, I am afraid that you have already arrived in Shanxi.”

"Your Excellency is right," Liang Chao listened carefully to Zhang Fan's words, nodded his head, and said, "If this is the case, it will indeed make it difficult for Feng Bao to judge."

Regarding Liang Chao's words, Zhang Fan just smiled back, but didn't say anything. In fact, what he said just now was not completely correct. It was more of his own guess. After all, he was not Feng Bao, of course, does not know how Feng Bao will judge this matter.

However, according to his understanding of Feng Bao, the current direction of this matter has been developed. In his opinion, his choice is relatively correct. Of course, there are no absolute things in this world. Zhang Fan just Among the countless possibilities, just look for the safest one.

Compared with so many situations, his judgment is now the safest.

"My lord, since the matter has been decided," Liang Chao said, "Please tell me, my lord, what should I say after seeing Zhang Siwei and Lord Wang."

"Actually, I'm really not worried that you were really chased by Feng Bao's people," Zhang Fan said, "Here I have to remind you that once you are caught by Feng Bao's people, you must never resist. If they search the body and find the letter, don’t worry, just let them take it, in this way, not only will they not hurt your life, but they will not have any doubts about me, "

"Oh." Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Liang Chao immediately became confused, "What does your lord mean by that?"

"Actually, the two letters I wrote to you contained exactly the same things," Zhang Fan said, "and there was nothing written about this matter in the letters, they were all about my identity. Then you said that you went to visit them for me, and only Wang Chonggu's name was written on it, and Zhang Siwei was not mentioned at all,"

"My lord is saying..." Liang Chao understood a little bit.

"It means that even if you are caught by the people from Dongchang, you won't get into any trouble if you find these two letters," Zhang Fan said, "Perhaps Feng Bao will doubt whether I already know something, maybe It will be confirmed immediately, but you will not be in any danger, unless they attack you immediately after seeing you, otherwise they have absolutely no reason to do anything to you, "

"That is to say..." Liang Chao already understood Zhang Fan's meaning, "These two letters from my lord are actually just a stepping stone. If you want to say something, let the humble officials pass it on by word of mouth.”

"That's what it means," Zhang Fan said. "First, you are safe. Second, some things are unclear after all. I am afraid that Zhang Siwei doesn't even know what happened in the capital. Even if he hears If there was a refugee riot in the capital, he would never have imagined that he would be involved in the incident, so many things can only be explained clearly with the mouth, and it must be done in this way."

"Then what should I say about the humble job," Liang Chao asked.

"It's very simple," Zhang Fan said, "You first tell them what happened in the capital and let them know the situation.

"The most important thing is that you have to tell Zhang Siwei to go to Mr. Wang quickly. It is best that you take him with you personally. When you see Mr. Wang, tell him to let him take the army out to practice quickly. Siwei also took it with him, and told them that if someone came to ask later, he would say that Zhang Siwei had been staying in the army with Master Wang since he returned home from a hidden illness, practicing everywhere, "

"My lord, this is..." Liang Chao asked.

"Well, that's right," Zhang Fan replied, "After Feng Bao spread the news that Zhang Siwei was behind the scenes, the imperial court, believe it or not, would send people to Shanxi to find Zhang Siwei for verification. If you all follow Mr. Wang to practice around with the army, there is no chance at all, and there is no time to write a letter to let Shandong know what to prepare after learning of the flood in Shandong."

"Your Excellency's plan is very clever," Liang Chao said, "However, I am still a little worried about my humble position."

"speak out,"

"My lord," Liang Chao said, "Feng Bao spent so much energy just to deal with Zhang Siwei. If you follow your lord's method, Zhang Siwei can indeed escape the crime of causing others to disturb the capital, but at the same time It also gave Feng Bao another chance to trouble him.

"My lord knows that Zhang Siwei returned home to recuperate due to a hidden illness this time. I think this reason has been used in all dynasties. There is no problem. However, how many people really returned home because of a hidden illness? I'm afraid it's more about avoiding the limelight temporarily. Although it's nothing, but if you really hold on to this matter, you can say something.

"If Feng Bao's plan fails and he makes another plan, he doesn't intend to say that Zhang Siwei provoked the people to disturb the capital. He only needs to say that it was false when he resigned from office and said that he had a hidden disease. That would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. In today's court, the queen mother trusts Feng Bao very much. Master Zhang also has something to ask Feng Bao now, so he has to stand by him. At that time, even if the queen mother pities Zhang Siwei's past achievements, I am afraid he will not be able to return. In this way, even if Feng Bao can't put Zhang Siwei to death, it can prevent him from returning to the court, and it is not easy for Dongchang to deal with a person who is in the wild,"

"Liang Chao, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful now." After hearing Liang Chao's words, Zhang Fan not only didn't feel troubled, but became happy instead. , if you think about it, you can also come up with a solution and turn the danger into a breeze, "

"My lord, even though my humble job has been praised by my lord, my humble job is not happy," Liang Chao said seriously, "Now is not the time for my lord to praise my humble job, but I should think of a solution."

"Well, you're right," Zhang Fan said, "Actually, I've thought about this a long time ago. I didn't plan to tell you about it, but since you've seen it, I'm going to tell you. , so that you understand that your journey will not return in vain,"

"Your Excellency said that there is a way," Liang Chao was a little surprised by Zhang Fan's words, but it was also expected. After all, he understood Zhang Fan, although Zhang Fan would sometimes make a gamble decision, But most of the time, he will still try to be safe.

Thinking of this, Liang Chao couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, feeling that he was unnecessary. If Zhang Fan hadn't made a complete plan, he would not have sent him out so hastily on such a major matter.

"You only know that Zhang Siwei came back with a hidden illness," Zhang Fan said, "I also know that he was not ill at all at the time, and he just found a reason to leave the court for a period of time, but if he It's really sick."

"This...how could this be?" Liang Chao didn't understand Zhang Fan's words, "This person will never get sick suddenly. Of course, if you want to make him get sick on purpose, you can do it, and there are ways to do it." There are too many, but it doesn't make sense after all, a sick person needs to be recuperated at home, how can he follow Mr. Wang and practice around with the army, "

"Hehe, you're right," even though Liang Chao pointed out many deficiencies in it, Zhang Fan still replied with a smile, "However, there are some things that you haven't thought through. You just know that people are sick. It is necessary to rest, but the way of rest is only one kind, and it is not suitable for all diseases. What if Zhang Siwei's illness is caused by the fact that he does not move much on weekdays and his body is too weak, "

"If that's the case..." Before Zhang Fan finished speaking, Liang Chao understood what he meant, "That Zhang Siwei needs to move around more, so as to restore his body."

"Obviously, there is no place where people can be more active than following in the army," Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"My lord's plan is brilliant," Liang Chao also praised sincerely, "Feng Bao has no reason to say anything about Zhang Siwei."

"That's right, that's right,"

"It's just..." Liang Chao asked, "How could Feng Bao believe it?"

"When the time comes, Master Zhang will have to come forward," Zhang Fan said.

Liang Chao naturally understood that the Master Zhang mentioned by Zhang Fan was Zhang Juzheng.

"At that time, as long as Mr. Zhang stands up and proposes, we must find a safe way to verify whether he is sick," Zhang Fan said. "As long as Mr. Zhang proposes that the palace send an imperial doctor to see Zhang Siwei, then It's easy,"

After Zhang Fan said this, Liang Chao didn't say anything anymore. He already fully understood what Zhang Fan meant. Yes, just like Zhang Fan, at this moment, Liang Chao also thought of Wang Youcai's name.
