A second โ of small โณ said ยง net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
Fan Hongdao laughed a few times, which was very meaningful, and only spoke when Shen Dagongzi's emotions were about to endure to the extreme: "Dare to ask what is the situation of Ling Zun after the death of Zhang Siwei in Puzhou?"
This question is very sensitive, if someone else asks like this, Shen Yongmao will definitely say a few words in a fake way, and he will definitely not say his true thoughts to give people a handle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But after all, Fan Hongdao is the direct party who is angry with Zhang Siwei, and in this regard, there is nothing to say to Fan Hongdao, so Shen Yongmao said very bluntly: "Siwei Xianggong can't enter the court, and my father is naturally as stable as a rock." โ
Many people think so, but Fan Hongdao habitually mocks: "Then you are very wrong!"
Shen Yongmao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Fan Hongdao didn't answer directly, and asked again: "Let me ask you again, what is your temperament today?"
On this question, Shen Yongmao did not dare to answer it lightly, but asked: "What are you doing all of a sudden question? Aren't you talking about your father's affairs now?"
It's not just that I don't dare to answer, but I still can't answer. Today, the Son of Heaven was under the discipline of Zhang Juzheng before he was twenty years old, and he acted according to Zhang Juzheng's wishes, without showing his personality, how could outsiders see the temperament of the Son of Heaven?
After Zhang Juzheng's death, the Son of Heaven took revenge on the Zhang family, but he still vented his emotions mostly and was not exposed under normal circumstances, and the Son of Heaven did not like to contact the courtiers very much, resulting in the courtiers still lacking a clear understanding of the Son of Heaven.
But Fan Hongdao, who has a golden finger, is of course not among them, and he asserts very confidently: "Today, I admire Emperor Shizong of the Jiajing Dynasty in my heart, but I am afraid that I have the heart to follow suit." โ
This assertion was the first time Shen Yongmao had heard it, and he heard Fan Hongdao continue: "Although Emperor Sejong has lived in the deep palace for a long time, he can not shift his power. Jinshang really wants to emulate this, so he always deliberately pays attention to checks and balances to avoid the appearance of a second Taiyue Xianggong.
Zhang Siwei in the opposition and Ling Zun in the court are checks and balances with each other, which is appreciated by the Son of Heaven. But now that Zhang Siwei has passed away and the mutual checks and balances have been broken, what will the Son of Heaven think in his heart?"
Shen Yongmao didn't dare to answer, so he looked at Fan Hongdao in a daze. He was a little frightened, this Fan Hongdao was really bold, he would talk about the Son of Heaven like this.
There is a word called "the theory of punishing the heart"; Fan Hongdao used the attitude of "punishing the heart" to unscrupulously guess the psychology and motives of the Son of Heaven, and even dared to say that the Son of Heaven wanted to emulate the power tricks of Emperor Jiajing?
Shen Dagongzi asked, "You have probably never seen the Son of Heaven, but I'm afraid that you haven't even been in contact with the people around the Son of Heaven, how can you have such an idea?"
Fan Hongdao smiled confidently: "A few months ago, even Zhang Siwei dared to say that he was about to die, why couldn't he guess the thoughts of the Son of Heaven?"
As a seven-rank official, Shen Dagongzi subconsciously scolded: "You are very disrespectful!"
Fan Hongdao said indifferently: "There are no outsiders here, how can it be spread out, unless Your Excellency deliberately leaks it! But Your Excellency don't forget, I am talking to you, if it leaks out, it will be a great disrespect between you and me!"
Fan Hongdao means that it is bound, as long as it is passed out, of course, Shen Yongmao is also difficult to argue. So Shen Dagongzi also had nothing to say, so he could only let Fan Hongdao continue.
"Ling Zun's situation today seems to be calm, but in fact, it is still full of reefs, and it should not be taken lightly. There are doubts about the Son of Heaven, and there are counterattacks from Zhang Siwei's remaining henchmen, all of which must be treated vigilantly.
If there is only a question of the upper or lower side, of course it doesn't matter, and it can't shake Ling Zun's status for the time being. But I'm afraid that if the upper and lower sides are combined to attack, then it will be difficult for Ling Zun to do, and he may fall into a difficult situation. โ
Hearing this, Shen Yongmao couldn't help but remember that Fan Hongdao once shouted in front of his house: Do you think that the trouble in Hedong is gone, and you can sit back and relax?
Fan Hongdao didn't want Shen Dagongzi to express anything, he just said his own: "Then again, do you think that Ling Zun wants to resign and return because he is dissatisfied with the current situation and helpless, and he doesn't want to continue to fall into the quagmire?"
Fan Hongdao's hint was very strong, and Shen Dagongzi thought about it, and probably thought of something. Fan Hongdao finally solved the mystery: "In fact, Ling Zun's resignation is not really to leave, but to retreat as a way forward!"
In today's court, after three years of purging, there are actually not many people who are more suitable to be the first assistant than Ling Zun. There may be people who are dissatisfied with Ling Zun, but other candidates will only have more people dissatisfied, and no one dares to say for sure that they can replace Ling Zun.
In this situation, Ling Zun took a step back, so that he could not only test the attitudes of all aspects, but also reap the retention of all aspects, and stand in a favorable situation;
The second is to show the Son of Heaven that he has no love for the stack and no desire to seize power, so as to eliminate the doubts of the Son of Heaven and reduce the pressure from the palace. โ
Shen Yongmao immediately asked, "Is this really the case?"
Fan Hongdao calmly looked at Shen Dagongzi, but he was silent. He just thought to himself, how do I know what Shen Shoufu thinks? If I don't make up some conspiracy theories to explain like this, how can I fool you?
Shen Yongmao only acquiesced to Fan Hongdao, and set off a storm in his heart, could it be that his father really had another deep meaning, and he didn't see it?
He lowered his head, thought about it carefully, and felt more and more that what Fan Hongdao said was extremely true, very reasonable, and could perfectly explain why his father wanted to resign on a whim.
I can't see my father's intentions, and I'm really a son of man in vain. If he continues to mess around like this, maybe it will be as Fan Hongdao said, and it will ruin his father's big things!
Shen Yongmao couldn't help but regret a little, if this was the case, it would be ridiculous for him to rush over to find Fan Hongdao's theory today! Fortunately, Fan Hongdao gave detailed instructions, otherwise he would have fallen into a fog, like a blind man.
Although Shen Dagongzi is mediocre in talent and a little vain, he feels that he has no face in front of Fan Hongdao at this time.
He is not a person who can't take it up, he simply stood up and said to Fan Hongdao: "It was my fault for bumping into Fan friend before, and I hope Fan friend Haihan!"
Fan Hongdao hurriedly got up, and accepted the apology with a few humble words. As long as he can soothe the anger of this eldest prince and send him away peacefully, Fan Hongdao will feel very lucky, as for Shen Yongmao's apology, it is all overgained.
