The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Uncle." Zhang Fan thought about it in his mind, and then he said, "You said, if someone disagrees with my nephew, it can even be said that they are enemies with my nephew. Now that person is in trouble, and Nephew, an elder who can't refuse, asks nephew to help, what should I do?"

What Zhang Fan said was not cryptic, on the contrary, it was very straightforward.After Zhang Yufang heard it, he didn't know who he was talking about, but he could roughly understand it.After thinking about it, Zhang Yufang asked, "What kind of trouble did that person encounter? If it's just a small trouble, it's up to you whether to help or not. If it's a big trouble..."

"Big trouble." Zhang Fan said with a wry smile. "It's very big trouble. He might lose his head, and he's not alone. His whole family will be involved in this matter."

"Is the hatred between you and that person really irresolvable?" Zhang Yufang continued to ask.

Just as Zhang Fan was about to speak, it suddenly occurred to him that his disagreement with Xu Jie was not a big problem, on the contrary, the two admired each other somewhat.Besides, the two just disagreed in political views, and now that Xu Jie has retired from his post and returned to his hometown, it will no longer affect Zhang Fan.Thinking of this, Zhang Fan said: "My nephew and that person just disagree on politics, and now that person has retired and returned to his hometown, so my nephew will no longer have any conflicts with him. It's just..."

"It's just that you are afraid that the two of you will be embarrassed when they meet, and you are also afraid that even if you help that person, that person will treat you coldly." Zhang Yufang said it for Zhang Fan.

"Alas..." Zhang Fan sighed deeply.

Originally, Xu Jie was an old man. When Yan Song was in power, he was able to protect himself no matter how many times he faced the attacks of the enemies in the court. Moreover, he has not offended anyone for so many years, which shows how slick Xu Jie is.However, since Yan Song's downfall, Xu Jie has always regarded himself as a hero for defeating Yan, and he doesn't pay attention to other people. The main reason for the gap between him and Gao Gong, a man with a bold personality, is Xu Jie himself.After the Longqing reign, Xu Jie became even more defiant.He regarded himself as an important minister of the two dynasties, not only the cabinet, but also the entire court was completely under his control.Fortunately, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are basically not very diligent in their administration. If it was during the Hongwu or Yongle years, Xu Jie would be the first person who would die in power.

Now that Xu Jie is intimidating, Gao Gong is still holding on to him, which shows that Gao Gong has a bit of hatred for Xu Jie.

"Fan'er, my uncle has seen through your thoughts these days." Zhang Yufang said, "My Zhang family has a softness in their nature. No, it's better to say that they can't let go of affection. With the development of the business in full swing, these things must be suppressed."

Hearing Zhang Yufang's words, Zhang Fan was also thinking about it.Maybe it's nature, maybe it's fate, whether it's the previous life or this life, Zhang Fan's personality is exactly as Zhang Yufang said.I can't get rid of my feelings, and I can't save my face to face people who don't want to see me.

"But the failure in this business field is just a loss of wealth, but people are still there, and they can still make a comeback." Zhang Yufang continued, "But Fan'er, the officialdom you are in is dangerous every step of the way. Zhenglong has great power in his hands, but one wrong step can hurt his family and his life. There are too many examples of this kind in the past, just in this dynasty, the examples of Yan Song, Liu Jin and others are there."

"Uncle means..." Zhang Fan understood a little.

"Although I have never been an official, I have realized a lot of truths after decades of rolling in the mall." Zhang Yufang said, "Enemies are only driven by temporary interests, and friends are the help you can continue to move forward. Uncle I know who the person you are talking about is, but according to what you said, that person must have been a famous figure in the court before. Even if he returns to his hometown now, if you help him, other people in the court will inevitably I have a good impression of you. Who doesn't have a time of trouble? Who can keep himself in a peaceful life without going through the storm."

Zhang Fanyou recalled that when his family lived in Anhua, the Yan'an mansion was robbed by the Tartars at Nianguan, and the people were exiled to Anhua County.At that time, not all the residents in Anhua County were bodhisattva-hearted, but they still took out their own food to help the victims.For what reason, no one knows if they will be the next to suffer, they are leaving a way out for themselves.

What Zhang Yufang said made Zhang Fanmao suddenly realize.If you don't help Xu Jie, don't say that you feel a little uncomfortable, even the teacher Zhang Juzheng is not easy to talk to.If he helped Xu Jie, even if Xu Jie didn't want to see him again, it didn't matter.When the time comes, those people in the court will listen to what he has done, and they will definitely look at him, the commander of the Jinyiwei, differently.

Few of Daming's Jinyiwei commanders had a good death, and Zhang Fan didn't want himself to be the target of public criticism.

After figuring this out, Zhang Fan already had a plan in mind.He stood up and bowed to Zhang Yufang, and said, "Thank you uncle for reminding me, nephew understands."

"Just figure it out." Seeing Zhang Fan's appearance, Zhang Yufang knew that he had plans.He no longer needed to ask Zhang Fan about his plans, because Zhang Fan's suddenly enlightened appearance had already explained everything, "Uncle's truths have been slowly accumulated over the past few decades. You are now in the officialdom, and you have the emperor's approval." Trust me, these things are really not necessary. However, you will know this sooner or later, uncle just told you in advance."

"No matter what, my nephew should thank uncle for his advice," Zhang Fan said.

"Fan'er, our ancestors have always hoped that someone will enter the official career and honor the ancestors. But the children of the Zhang family have not been able to fulfill the last wish of the ancestors for more than a hundred years. They are really ashamed of their ancestors." Zhang Yufang said with some melancholy, but turned his face away. He became very relieved again, "But now, Fan'er, you have to enter the official career, and you have to be appreciated by the emperor at such an age. The ancestors of the Zhang family can finally settle one thing. If you have any difficulties in the future, don't be afraid of trouble, just come Find uncle. Uncle doesn't have much power in the court, but our family still has some strength, if you need money again, just ask."

What Zhang Yufang said was so true that Zhang Fan didn't feel the slightest affectation.He did not reject Zhang Yufang's words, but said: "Thank you uncle, my nephew will keep it in mind."

"Open your eyes." Zhang Yufang looked at Zhang Fan's leaving figure and said silently, "The wish of our ancestors and ancestors has come true. My Zhang family has really given birth to a promising child. Father, you and uncle have a good relationship in heaven." Ling, we can also understand each other."

After Zhang Yufang's advice, Zhang Fan already had a plan in mind.He found Wang Meng to give him instructions and ask some things.

The two entered an unoccupied guest room, and Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng, "Wang Meng, is there any news from Yingtian and Songjiang mansions?"

"Report to my lord." Wang Meng bowed to Zhang Fan, and said, "I just received the news about the humble position. I heard that there was another official document from the imperial court urging Governor Hai to thoroughly investigate Haoqiang from Yingtian's side. This is clearly to Governor Hai investigated and dealt with Xu Ge's matter. At Songjiang Mansion, the lord ordered not to reveal the identity of Jin Yiwei, and not to hurt those people in secret. The brothers are almost unable to resist Hai Rui's troops."

After hearing his words, Zhang Fan became thoughtful.This matter has reached a very serious point.Now that Zhang Fan has made up his mind and decided to help people to the end, he said to Wang Meng: "You send someone to bring Mr. Xu Ge and his family here. Keep this matter secret."

"But my lord, Mr. Xu Ge may not go with us." Wang Meng first thought of difficulties.

"Hehe." Zhang Fan chuckled twice, and said, "No, maybe, if Mr. Xu Ge knew that you were sent by me, he would definitely not go with you."

"Then... Your Excellency means..." Wang Meng had already guessed what Zhang Fan meant, but he was not sure that Zhang Fan would do such a thing.

"Of course I'll 'tie' their family back to me." Zhang Fan said, "You can't be a good person who takes my position and still be a good person!"

"Hehe." Wang Meng also chuckled a few times, and said, "No, I feel that my lord will not become a bad person. And this Jin Yiwei can't help but be different." After speaking, Wang Meng left.

Zhang Fan was a little surprised by Wang Meng's words, and he couldn't help thinking: "I can't be a bad person, could it be that I can turn the entire Jinyiwei into a Red Cross society! Good people and bad people, what should be used to distinguish them!"

Back in the room, Zhang Fan saw that Yingyue was still sitting alone by the window, thinking about something.He walked up to her, sat down beside her, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Yingyue turned around and gave Zhang Fan a smile, and said, "Yingyue was just thinking about why I should stay in this world. I promised my sister and swore that I must Rescue my sister. But now that my sister is gone, what am I still doing here?"

Zhang Fan couldn't help being startled when he heard her words, and thought to himself: "Could it be that this silly girl is world-weary, and she wants to be herself." Just as she was about to comfort her, Yingyue spoke again.

"It's just that when Brother Fan came in, Yingyue suddenly figured it out." Yingyue's expression didn't change, and she continued, "Yingyue almost forgot that she and Brother Fan had made a vow together. Yingyue has no *Fulfilling the promise to my sister, but I also want to keep my only vow, to be with you forever, Brother Fan."

"Yue'er." Zhang Fan hugged Yingyue's soft and slightly tired body into his arms, without any sense of lust, he just wanted to comfort this miserable girl.

After a long time, Zhang Fan continued to speak: "In a few days, we will go to Yingtian Mansion. When we get there, you can relax and forget what happened here."

After hearing what he said, Yingyue suddenly became nervous, and said, "Brother Fan, aren't you going to clean up the Five Poison Cultists in Yangzhou City? In case they still want to make trouble, if they hurt you, Yingyue Yue Ke..."

"No, they don't have that ability yet." Zhang Fan said, "Besides, I don't intend to let them go. It's just that some of them haven't shown up. I'm afraid that if they arrest them rashly, they will scare the snake. But I still have them in Yingtianfu. There are some things to deal with, if they don't disappear in the next few days, I will send someone to guard these people strictly, and I will definitely not let them run away."

"En." After hearing what Zhang Fan said, Yingyue felt relieved.Now she is a little bit bent on taking revenge on those who tried to riot, but she doesn't hate the Five Poisons Sect very much.After all, the Five Poisons Sect also succumbed to the power of those people.But their ability to use poison is extraordinary, Yingyue is a Miao person, so she knows it. "Perhaps, we can take the opportunity to let Brother Fan subdue the Five Poison Sect and use it for him." Yingyue thought in her heart.

The two were talking to each other in the room, but there was a knock on the door outside.

"My lord." Wang Meng's voice came from outside the door, "That group of people has appeared."

"What..." Upon hearing the news, Zhang Fan immediately stood up with excitement in his eyes.
