Chapter 161 All Taken to the Ditch (Part I)
After Shen Yongmao entered the study, he took a few looks and found that it was all his own people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info approached his father and whispered, "There is news of Fan Hongdao." ”
Shen Shixing understands very well that the story of Fan Xiucai scolding Zhang Shoufu to death is rumored in Jingshi, and many people are paying attention to his current Shoufu's attitude towards Fan Hongdao, so he must show a suitable posture to others.
He smiled in public: "Yesterday, Fan Hongdao came to visit the old man, probably on the order of Hedong Gao Yushi, to explain to the old man in detail about the reform of the salt administration. It's just that the old man hasn't seen him, guessing that he is coming today, and sure enough. ”
Then he said to Shen Yongmao: "Okay, you go to see him first, the old man can't be separated at the moment, if he has other important matters in the salt industry, you can report to me again." ”
This attitude is very Shen's color, not high, not low, not light, not heavy, and impartial, so that most people can't say what is wrong, and they can't see his true thoughts from it.
Everyone present who is familiar with Shen Shoufu can't help but admire, he is worthy of being the boss of Shoufu, and he is really leaky in dealing with people.
Shen Yongmao was stunned, he didn't expect his father to have such a big misunderstanding, and hurriedly added: "Fan Hongdao didn't come, it was the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division who claimed to have arrested a person named Fan Hongdao and sent someone to verify." ”
Shen Shixing was suddenly a little embarrassed. What kind of moth is this Fan Hongdao doing, he dares to act beyond his prediction!
Everyone present was puzzled, and countless question marks popped up in their hearts, what did the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division do to catch Fan Hongdao?
Moreover, this soldier and horse division arrested Fan Hongdao, and then ran to Shen Shoufu to verify the situation, is he crazy? I don't know if Fan Hongdao has just helped Shen Shoufu a lot?
Shen Dagongzi did not say Li Zhilai, he knew the particularity of Li Zhi. In terms of political components, his father is a representative of the traditional bureaucratic class and a step-by-step authority, while Li Zhi is a representative of the Son of Heaven's close ministers and a popular faction that has risen rapidly;
From a political standpoint, Li Zhi was a protégé of Zhang Siwei and a standard-bearer of the anti-Zhang Juzheng forces, and his father was a moderate and a leader sympathetic to the Zhang Juzheng forces and the remnants of Zhang Juzheng's party.
Although so far, there has been no large-scale tearing between the two sides, everyone in the court knows that his father and Li Zhi are destined to be unable to get along.
Therefore, Li Zhi is a sensitive symbol in the Shen Mansion, and it is really inconvenient to discuss it in public, so Shen Yongmao can only give his father a look.
When Shen Shoufu saw his son's demeanor, he knew that there must be something else, and he got up and said to everyone: "The old man is temporarily out of company." ”
The father and son came to another flower hall, and Shen Yongmao relayed the original words of the soldiers and horses from Dongcheng to his father, and it was not bad at all. He knew that his abilities were far inferior to his father's, and he didn't want to mislead his father in any way.
What's more, Shen Dagongzi couldn't see the doorway in this matter at all, and he couldn't give advice to his father. However, he believed that his father would be able to see through the truth, and that he only needed to follow the instructions.
Shen Shixing frowned, and nodded slightly after a long time. Shen Yongmao hurriedly concentrated, but heard his father say: "Why can't I understand and figure out the matter of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division?"
Shen Yongmao was speechless, feeling that his father's glorious image of wisdom and martial arts was a little dim. In terms of dealing with Fan Hongdao, it seems that his father is not much better than himself.
Where did Shen Shoufu know about his son's rich psychological activities, he just asked his questions one by one: "This matter is very simple, that is, Li Zhi instructed the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division to capture Fan Hongdao, but after thinking about it, he was full of suspicions. ”
Then Shen Shixing threw out a series of questions: "Why did Li Zhi dare to instruct the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division to arrest Fan Hongdao? This person is not stupid, he should know that arresting Fan Hongdao at this time is not necessarily a good thing, it may lead to passivity in public opinion, why do you still do this?"
Was his purpose only to vent his anger because of Zhang Fengpan's affairs, or to provoke his father? Or did he have other intentions?
After Fan Hongdao left here, how did he meet Li Zhi so accurately? Was it really a coincidence, or was Li Zhi able to accurately grasp Fan Hongdao's whereabouts?
If it's a coincidence, if Li Zhi can find out Fan Hongdao's whereabouts, doesn't that mean that Li Zhi has arrangements everywhere, including our Shen Mansion?"
Shen Yongmao had to be convinced, his father was worthy of being an old man in the political arena, and he could think of countless ideas in a short instant, and this powerful calculation ability was really rare.
It is precisely because of this good habit of thinking twice that his father can steadily become the first assistant step by step. Just think about it, under the anti-Zhang Juzheng political tide in the past three years, a person like his father who sympathizes with Zhang Juzheng can actually be the first assistant, how can ordinary people have the skills?
According to the calculations of the Shen family's father and son, they said that on the side of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses, after Deputy Commander Zhou sent the scribe to the Shen Mansion, his mind was very uneasy.
He secretly thought that Shen Shoufu on one side and Li Shaoqing on the other, no matter what he thought of the two of them, he couldn't be caught up in this whirlpool. He is just a commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division who is responsible for grassroots security, and the fight in the temple is really not something he can participate in!
Since he has already sent someone to inform Shen Shoufu, then he should also send someone to inform Li Shaoqing, so that the people on both sides can face each other in an upright manner, and don't let Commander Zhou be the middleman!
Zhao Shengluan's house, after Li Zhi woke up, he sat in the front hall and drank tea, and asked his entourage casually: "Dongcheng Terracotta Sike has sent someone here?"
The attendant replied: "Over there, Master Zhou sent someone to leave a message, saying that the scholar he captured last night is called Fan Hongdao, and he just came out of the old mansion of Shen Pavilion yesterday!"
When others hear the name Fan Hongdao, they may need time to think about who it is, but Li Zhi, as Zhang Siwei's protégé, how can he not be familiar with this name?
Li Zhi felt that he was about to explode, stood up, and aggressively said to his entourage, "Are you sure you heard the wrong thing?"
"Sure! It's Fan Hongdao!" said the attendant with certainty.
Li Zhi was shocked or shocked, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? This was definitely deliberate by someone! After Fan Hongdao left the Shen Mansion, he deliberately came to provoke himself!
Li Zhi immediately guessed that this was definitely Shen Shixing's conspiracy, that is, to seize the opportunity of the death of his teacher Zhang Siwei and decisively suppress himself!
It is conceivable that as long as Fan Hongdao is portrayed as a hero of the salt administration who has made contributions to the imperial court, then he will become a villain who abolishes the public for personal reasons, takes revenge on grievances, and abuses public weapons!
