It was supposed to be just a small thing, a small thing, but in an atmosphere of mutual distrust on both sides, a small thing can also escalate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Li Tian, who was sent by Li Shaoqing, would not have thought that their judgment of the facts was all fantasized by Fan Hongdao misleading them, thinking that they were about to face the suppression of Shen Shoufu.

Who is now in a period of high sensitivity for all parties, everyone would rather think a little more than think a little less, if there is a miscalculation in the critical period, it will be very fatal.

Xin Sixian, who was sent by Shen Shoufu, would not have thought that the so-called actions of Li Zhi's side were actually thought up by Fan Hongdao. He thought that Li Shaoqing's attitude was never to retreat and resist to the end.

This Mr. Xin is Shen Shoufu's personal staff, and his position with Shen Shoufu is completely consistent, and only when Shen Shoufu is doing well, can he live well.

When he heard Fan Hongdao's words, he was immediately angered by "Li Zhi's attitude". In fact, he didn't care much about Fan Hongdao's situation, he cared about Li Zhi's attitude.

A Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, who was only a fourth-grade person, wanted to openly challenge the majesty of Shoufu? He wanted to use Fan Hongdao to attack Shoufu's prestige? If it was Zhang Juzheng Shoufu, would anyone dare to do this?

Anger didn't solve the problem, and Mr. Xin restrained himself and said, "What do you think is the motive for Li Zhi to be so bold and reckless?"

If someone who is familiar with Fan Hongdao's routine is here, and when he hears Mr. Xin's inquiry, he will definitely sigh secretly: Another one has taken the bait.

Fan Hongdao is like Jiang Taigong who fishes with a straight hook, he is not afraid that you will ask, but he is afraid that you will ignore it. As soon as you start asking him questions, it means that you are stuck in the trap and it is difficult to jump out again.

However, at this time, Fan Hongdao didn't speak, just stretched out a hand and pointed upward, looking very high and unfathomable.

But Mr. Xin understood what Fan Hongdao meant, the so-called unspeakable figure in the sky probably refers to the one in the palace? Li Zhi acted against Shen Shoufu like this, and there was a shadow in the palace behind him?

If you are not a person who has full information, you can only treat it as gossip when you hear this statement. But Mr. Xin has worked here for many years and is quite familiar with court politics, and he immediately felt that this statement is not impossible.

Everyone knows that Shen Shixing, as the first assistant, is far less powerful than Zhang Juzheng, and his real power is far inferior to Zhang Juzheng. Not to mention Zhang Juzheng, who has high merit and shocking the master, even compared with Zhang Juzheng's previous first assistants, Shen Shixing's prestige is much worse.

Is this because Shen Shoufu himself does not want to exercise power? The reason for this is not only the reason for Shen Shixing's gentle personality, but also the reason why the Son of Heaven deliberately restricted the power of Shoufu.

From a historical point of view, the period of Shen Shixing's reign was the beginning of the decline of the power of the Ming cabinet (Xiangquan).

I think that at the beginning, since the Zhengde Dynasty Yang Tinghe, the power of the Ming Dynasty cabinet began to rise sharply, and by the time of Yan Song, Shoufu was equivalent to a strongman, and the development of Zhang Juzheng's era reached its peak.

Today, Wanli Tianzi ascended the throne at the age of ten, and before he grew into a young man, most of his time was spent under the shroud of Zhang Juzheng's power, forming a huge psychological shadow.

Stimulated by this psychological shadow, Wanli Tianzi liquidated the dead Zhang Juzheng on the one hand, and strictly restricted the power of Shoufu on the other hand, and Shen Shixing Shen Shoufu was forced to become the bearer.

The restrictive measures were all-encompassing, such as the fact that the Emperor of Wanli often did not release the inscriptions of the cabinet, and for example, the Son of Heaven treated important ministers coldly and rarely met with ministers.

Another example is to connive at the power of the science and technology officials, and in the name of opening up the way of speech, encourage the science and technology officials to besiege the rulers such as the cabinet scholars.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the power of Yanguan Qingliu was greatly opened, and it became a powerful force that clamped down on the operation of the government and government, which began with the connivance of the Son of Wanli.

The original purpose of the Son of Wanli was to use the Kedao Yanguan as a tool to liquidate Zhang Juzheng and strengthen the restrictions on the first assistant, but it caused a fierce party dispute, and the power of the Kedao Yanguan was also too big to swell to the point of being out of control.

Under this background and trend, Shen Shixing, the first assistant, is of course very "lame" compared to his predecessor, and he does not have the power of his predecessor.

And Li Zhi was born in imperial history, and as the best public opinion tool for the Son of Heaven, he became a popular person in the dynasty, so others thought that Li Zhi dared to argue with Shoufu.

Under Fan Hongdao's hint, Mr. Xin became a little worried.

After the news of Zhang Siwei's death reached the capital, Shen Shixing's henchmen were almost close to celebrating with a crown. This means that Shen Shixing's position as the first assistant is secure, which is of course a great benefit for them.

Could it be that this kind of excitement reached the ears of the Son of Heaven and then touched the sensitive nerve of the Son of Heaven? You must know that the Son of Heaven was quite jealous of the powerful ministers in his heart.

So did the Son of Heaven want to find an opportunity to knock Shen Shoufu at this juncture? Could it be that Li Zhi's arrest of Fan Hongdao was just to cater to the Son of Heaven? After all, Li Zhi was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and his speculation about the psychology of the Son of Heaven surpassed that of most courtiers.

With these worries, Xin Sixian also hurriedly left and returned to the Shen Mansion to report to the old man of Shen Ge.

Zhou Yuanli, the deputy commander on duty of the Soldiers and Horses Division, sat firmly in Diaoyutai, saw Li Shaoqing send someone, and then left, and saw Shen Shoufu send someone to come, and then left.

Originally, according to his estimate, one side of both sides would always propose to release Fan Hongdao, and then he could take advantage of the situation to throw the hot potato out.

But now both sides are not looking for him to give orders, and as a result, Fan Hongdao, a hot potato, still has to stay in the Terracotta Division, which makes him a little embarrassed.

What kind of dumb riddle are the two sides playing? There are no instructions, so what should he do, the little deputy commander of the Terracotta Division?

Just as Commander Zhou was about to talk to the "hot potato" again, suddenly the porter came to report again, and someone wanted to see Fan Hongdao.

Commander Zhou has to refuse if he doesn't want to, is this Fan Hongdao seen casually now? Except for Shen Shoufu and Li Shaoqing, no one can see him casually!

But the porter presented the post again, and Commander Zhou opened it to see that it was actually a post by an old man in the court.

Commander Zhou had nothing to do with the four words Gangzheng, sighed when he saw this post, and then waved his hand and asked the porter to take someone to see Fan Hongdao.

The person who came to Fan Hongdao this time was a woman, even the thick cloak couldn't hide her long and beautiful figure, but unfortunately there was a veil hanging down from the brim of her head, so that people couldn't see what was inside.

Fan Hongdao was roasting the fire in the house, pondering his gains and losses. When he heard the sound of the door, he looked up and saw the woman in the cloak and veil walking in.

Fan Hongdao was about to think about who this was, but he heard the other party speak first: "Mr. Fan, don't come to harm?"

It turned out to be Miss Zhang's family, Fan Hongdao was very familiar with this voice, and he immediately heard it.
