The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Speaking of which, there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in this capital city, and even more people are connected with each other, and this connection is indispensable to invite guests to dinner and hold a big feast. However, the so-called connections are not all In the same way, there are naturally some good and some bad, and some have a good relationship, so naturally they seem a lot closer.

And some have gaps between each other, and it can even be called hatred. This kind of face is annoying when you meet each other. Naturally, it is impossible to have any contact. , It gives people the feeling that it is definitely not for congratulations, but for spoiling the situation.

However, there are exceptions to everything. If there is anyone in the capital who treats guests and can bring everyone together, no matter whether it is closeness, estrangement or interstitial hatred, there are only two people who can drink at the same wine table. One is in the palace, which is naturally not considered, and there is another, that is Zhang Fan's place.

Of course, there is a difference between Zhang Fan’s here and the palace. The banquet in the palace is the emperor’s utterance. If anyone dares not to listen or not to be present, it is obvious that he is looking for death. Of course, but Don't be here, the real difference is that the ministers in the palace, even if the relationship is extremely bad, they will be very patient and speak with a smile on their faces.

It's different for Zhang Fan's here. No one here can control them, so once the enemies meet, it's inevitable that there will be quarrels, but they will definitely not be too vicious. After all, these people will not Completely losing their minds, they can still understand that this is Zhang Fan's territory, and if there is too much trouble, it will be of no benefit to anyone.

And the reason why Zhang Fan has this kind of magical power here, which can bring these people together, is actually the most important thing is Zhang Fan himself. Although Zhang Fan has been an official for so many years, although it is not long, it also has some influence. The important thing is that at this moment, Zhang Fan has status and wealth, but this is not because of anyone. If Zhang Fan really wants to draw a clear line, then he should be counted on the emperor's side.

And in this camp, even though the current emperor is not Long Qing who holds real power, but Zhu Yijun, a younger emperor who is more than ten years old, no one dares to touch Zhang Fan easily, or in other words, no one has a reason to do so. Move Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan's relationship network in the court is very delicate. Let's not talk about the past, just look at it now. Zhang Fan is placed under Zhang Juzheng's school as a student, so his relationship with Zhang Juzheng is naturally extraordinary. The above is indeed the case. Even though Zhang Juzheng has made many actions that Zhang Fan can't stand because of many things, Zhang Fan still supports Zhang Juzheng. He understands that compared with the things Zhang Juzheng has done, , The benefits he can bring to the court are even more.

Apart from Zhang Juzheng, the relationship between Zhang Fan and Feng Bao is also very good. At one point, many people thought that Zhang Fan had already joined Feng Bao's camp. Whether he took the position of chief eunuch or helped Feng Bao deal with Gao Gong, there were signs of this.

But in the end, many people felt that this was not the case, especially what Gao Gong said to Zhang Fan at the moment Gao Gong was expelled from the capital, although many people did not know what Gao Gong said to Zhang Fan. , although many people also hated Gao Gong at that time, they absolutely believed in Gao Gong's ability to judge people. That is to say, Gao Gong didn't think that Zhang Fan really joined Feng Bao's camp, otherwise he would definitely It was impossible to say anything more to him.

In addition to this point, Zhang Fan has a very good relationship with those who do not deal with Feng Bao, such as Ge Shouli and other centrists. Although Ge Shouli still insists on neutrality in the court, he has also faintly become the leader of one side. Many people watched his actions, but Ge Shouli would not talk too much with these people. Even if someone wanted to take the initiative to talk to him, Ge Shouli would ignore them.

However, it happened that Zhang Fan was able to talk to Ge Shouli, and the two of them seemed to be enjoying each other every time.

All in all, Zhang Fan is now essentially a member of the neutral faction, but his neutrality is complete and he has many connections with both sides.

And Zhang Fan's special nature made him look like this now.

Today is the full moon day of Zhang Fan's youngest daughter, Zhang Lianqing. Logically speaking, Zhang Lianqing is the daughter of Zhang Fan's concubine Luo Ling'er, and she is also a daughter. There is no reason to invite so many people to congratulate her. I didn't invite anyone, but I just found a few people who have a good relationship, and it's just a chance to have a drink and talk.

It's just that Zhang's kitchen was not ordered to do this, but to prepare a large amount of drinks and dishes. Obviously, Zhang Fan had expected this in his heart.

So after the morning court that day, there was such a lively scene in front of the gate of the Zhang family. Many people came here, and they brought a gift and said a few words of congratulations, but, Occasionally, two ministers who are different from each other will meet at the door, squint at each other, snort coldly, and compare the congratulatory gifts. In the end, they all compete to walk into the gate of the Zhang family before the other party, and even , They also want to blame the servants of the Zhang family newspaper, why they didn't call out their names first, but insisted on saying that they are against each other first. This scene made the servants of the Zhang family unable to stand these eye attacks up.

In fact, this kind of scene has always been there, and these opponents seem to have made an appointment on purpose. He will not show up if the other party does not come, and he will come when the other party appears.

Fortunately, the most interesting thing today is Feng Bao himself.

Feng Bao came not too early or too late, and he also prepared a big gift. When he heard that Feng Bao was coming, Zhang Fan naturally wanted to go out to greet him in person. No, after some politeness, the two of them had no intention of going in for a while. , chatted at the door.

And the interesting thing happened at this time. The first person who came to confront Feng Bao was none other than Ge Shouli. However, Ge Shouli was a modest person. Ge Shouli would not show any overly violent reaction, but smiled slightly, and even bowed and nodded to Feng Baogong, but he didn't say a word.

And this kind of situation made Feng Bao very uncomfortable. In his expectation, when encountering this kind of situation, it is best for the other party to speak first. In this way, he will have a chance to fight back. If he can see that the other party is deflated Feng Bao's appearance is the most comfortable thing for Feng Bao. Once upon a time, I don't know how many people have fallen for Feng Bao's trick. Some even made up their minds that Feng Bao would not speak, but Still get picked up by him.

But Ge Shouli is different. Feng Bao can't deal with his composure. No matter how harsh Feng Bao's words are, Ge Shouli will still pretend to turn a blind eye. Therefore, seeing Feng Bao of Ge Shouli, he feels as upset as he is. , but he couldn't say anything.

And Ge Shouli seemed to know what Feng Bao was thinking, he just smiled slightly, nodded to Zhang Fan, and walked in.

Seeing Ge Shouli ignoring him, Feng Bao didn't burst out even though he was angry. He just snorted coldly and continued talking to Zhang Fan.

And the next person who came was even more interesting, it was Zhang Siwei.

A few days ago, Zhang Siwei's incident had just passed, and Feng Bao's plan fell through. For Zhang Siwei and Feng Bao, there was a very big enmity between them.

Today's Feng Bao, although he doesn't say anything anymore because of the failure of the matter, and even later, he won't trouble Zhang Siwei anymore. After all, although the Queen Mother Li hasn't punished him, this unresolved way is also It was a blow to Feng Bao.

However, it is precisely because of this that Feng Bao can no longer attack Zhang Siwei, and even he can no longer take the initiative to attack other ministers. He can only wait for other people to make mistakes before he has the opportunity to trouble others.

This sense of waiting made Feng Bao very unhappy, and in Feng Bao's view, all of this was caused by Zhang Siwei. In Feng Bao's heart, the hatred for Zhang Siwei was naturally sublimated , This kind of feeling of hatred but unable to vent, would have collapsed if it were someone else, but Feng Bao is not an ordinary person, he can still bear this kind of thing.

But now, the two met, the so-called enemy met, and they were extremely jealous. Of course, Feng Bao might be the only one who was jealous. For Zhang Siwei, this was really just a very common thing. Now even facing Feng Bao who wanted to kill him, he could still smile slightly, as if he didn't care about anything.

And the more Zhang Siwei was like this, the more upset Feng Bao felt, especially now that he couldn't speak out.

Zhang Siwei is also a person who knows when enough is enough. Seeing that Feng Bao is almost angry, he no longer intends to provoke him. He nodded to Zhang Fan and said some blessings, and Zhang Siwei walked in. .

And Zhang Fan, who had been watching the "battle" from the sidelines without saying a word, looked at this scene, and felt really funny in his heart, but in front of Feng Bao, he naturally had to pretend to be serious. Zhang Fan also knew in his heart that Feng Bao must I know that Zhang Siwei can get rid of the crime without his relationship, and the reason why Feng Bao will not feel unhappy with him is also because he will need to use Zhang Fan in the future. It's heartwarming, but it's necessary.
