Chapter 684: Calm and composed
People who don't know. I thought that Feng Bao's words were showing something to Zhang Fan. The most straightforward thing is. Let him. Or rather, to make his Jinyi Wei subordinate to Feng Bao.
Of course. Others thought of going somewhere else. Perhaps Feng Bao felt that his current power was really big to a level. You can now be qualified to dictate to anyone. If Zhang Fan agrees. Then the whole court today. That is, Feng Bao's court alone. The rest dared to go against Feng Bao. No. It's not right. can only be regarded as not following Feng Bao. There is only one Ge Shouli.
Although it is said that Ge Shouli is honest and old. And it is the patriarch of the three dynasties. He has a prominent reputation in the DPRK. In words. Many others will follow. But he was only one man.
And it turned out. Although Zhang Fan agrees with Feng Bao on many things. But anyone can see it. Zhang Fan was not on Feng Bao's side. For what Feng Bao said. Good is naturally approval. And if it's not good, he's able to oppose it.
Or maybe it's. Has anything happened between Zhang Fan and Feng Bao recently? A complete break. Feng Bao said. is actually giving Zhang Fan one last chance. Let him choose. If you don't stand up. That means that Zhang Fan and Feng Bao are completely finished. In the future, it will be a state of hostility.
These two points of view. That's what many people think in today's court. Of course. Naturally, there are people who link this incident to what is happening today. I think Feng Bao has any intention in saying this. But most people still care in their hearts. The matter between Feng Bao and Zhang Fan.
In some ways. Feng Bao's position in the imperial court is now unbreakable. Solid very. Many people fell to Feng Bao's side. Even those who are neutral. Or someone who can't get used to Feng Bao. Now it's all gone. As long as Feng Bao didn't do anything that really angered them. They just turn a blind eye. Don't ask at all.
In this regard. Zhang Fanruo also fell to Feng Bao's side. It's not a bad thing. After all, that's what it is. The situation in the imperial court has really become a one-sided situation. So come one. Maybe a lot of things happen that people don't feel good about. But at the same time, it was absolutely calm. There won't be any ups and downs. That's for a lot of people. It's also a good situation.
But. People who have this kind of thought in their hearts. After all, it's only a minority. More people don't want that to happen. It's not that these people are so far-sighted. It's just a matter of what will happen in the future. No one knows. But there is one thing that many people can see clearly. That is Feng Bao's future. It's bound to be not very glorious.
Today's Feng Bao. The word "oppression" can be used to describe how he treated Zhu Yijun. And Zhu Yijun is the emperor after all. Although it is said that there is no right now. But in the future, he cannot be without power forever. Once wait until Zhu Yijun is in power. The first unlucky one was Feng Bao.
And that time. Zhu Yijun, who has just been pro-government. I want to work against Feng Bao. It must be a lack of strength. Although people understand. In the end, it must be the emperor who can win. But what is the cost? It's really unclear.
If. Until that time. Zhang Fan was able to stand on Zhu Yijun's side. That's different. No one expected the imperial court to go through too much of an ordeal. It's best to be able to make a smooth transition. But obviously. That kind of thinking is delusional. It's impossible. So. People settle for the next best. Even if there is any strife. It's best to keep the chaos to a minimum.
If Feng Bao and Zhang Fan really got together. In the future, this side will have a huge strength. Over there, if Zhu Yijun wants to resist. It must be a protracted battle. Wait until it's over. What kind of endgame will it be? No one can know. No one wants to see it.
If. Zhang Fan didn't go with Feng Bao. Then he will inevitably be on Zhu Yijun's side. So come on. When the time comes, once there is a dispute. Zhu Yijun has Zhang Fan's help here. It will inevitably increase in strength. And Feng Bao also holds great power. But it will inevitably be lower.
That's it. Although there will still be a strife. And there are also many problems left over from the strife. But it's bound to be much better.
Since strife is inevitable. Then minimize the impact of the strife. That's the main thing.
All in all. in the imperial court. There are a lot of people. Even some of Feng Bao's forces. I don't want to see Zhang Fan and Feng Bao standing together.
Originally. This kind of thing. It's not something that can be solved in one go. Take it one step at a time. Plan slowly. Wait until the time comes. Nor can they act immediately. Let's see what happens. Take it one step at a time.
And now. Feng Bao was in such a scene. I said this in front of so many people. This is undoubtedly to the calm waters of the lake today. A huge stone was thrown. It's not just about making the surface churn over the surface. Even the water is a torrent.
And since Feng Bao has already raised this question. Whether Zhang Fan wants it or not. He had to answer by now.
Thereupon. Almost everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Fan. I want to know how he will respond. Of course. Zhang Juzheng also stared at Zhang Fan. It's just that that's not what he cares about. It's another thing. It is a very superficial thing related to the question asked by Feng Bao.
And after Zhang Fan heard Feng Bao's words. And there was no movement. He stood in front of the main hall. Only a handful of people could see the expression on his face. But the one who stared at his back in the back. I didn't find any change in Zhang Fan's body shape. And actually. If you can see Zhang Fan's face. He is indeed consistent. There are no changes on the face. On the contrary, it has become more and more peaceful. There was even quite a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Fan said. There was no change in the voice. It's also as peaceful as it was just now. "Since my father-in-law has brought it up. Wechen didn't have any objections. As a matter of fact. Yesterday's preliminary trial was tried by Weichen and his father-in-law. Although I didn't ask anything. Actually, though. My father-in-law was already involved. Now the father-in-law wants to send someone to the East Factory for interrogation. Wechen naturally has no objections. And actually. As my father-in-law said before. Wechen has been a bit busy lately. It's a bit of a busy feeling. I hope that Your Majesty will atone for your sins. "Speaking of which. Zhang Fan bowed. A look of deep apology.
"Taifu doesn't have to be like this." Zhu Yijun hurriedly spoke. "I understand. And each family has a family affair. I don't blame Taifu for this. Merely. These things are not being discussed now. What Feng Bao said just now. I don't know what Taifu thinks. It was to hand over the eight people who took the lead in the rebellion to Feng Bao. Let the East Factory go to the trial. Or continue to let Jinyiwei interrogate. This thing. I was also deeply confused. If Taifu has any opinions. But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"In that case...... Zhang Fan also deliberately sold a long tone. There was a slight pause. I feel that the atmosphere of the scene has been hung by him. That's what it means to speak. "Actually. The purpose of this matter is to ask who the eight men were instructed by. I just want to do something. This kind of thing. Whether it is handed over to Jinyiwei or Dongchang. Even if it's an ordinary yamen to try it. There are no problems. Even Weichen dared to pack tickets. No matter who goes to trial. In the end, it will definitely come out with a reason. Merely. Now that it's open. Weichen is naturally not good at taking away the beauty of people. And. To put it another way. If it is judged by the father-in-law's East Factory. The fastest indeed. It won't take long. The father-in-law will be able to give His Majesty and the Queen Mother an explanation. ”
"In other words......" I heard Zhang Fan say. Zhu Yijun was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Zhang Fan would not agree. But I didn't expect it. He agreed so simply. "Taifu means. This thing. I'll leave it to the East Factory. ”
"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. That's exactly what Wechen means. Zhang Fan nodded and said.
This time. The people below. But the discussion began. And this kind of talking. It's not like it used to be. Officials make eye contact. As a matter of fact. A lot of people are talking. Say something to the people around you.
This kind of scene. It's not like it hasn't been before. But every time it appears. It's definitely a big deal. And this time. Apparently this is a big situation.
Not to mention the others. Zhang Juzheng on the side heard Zhang Fan say this. Immediately, he looked anxious. Apparently. Zhang Fan's answer was not what he wanted. Now what he hopes for most is to be able to calm down. so that his "Test Method" can be tried smoothly and locally. Once Feng Bao makes some trouble. For him, of course, it will have an impact.
But. Zhang Juzheng was anxious. It's just such a momentary thing. After that, it calmed down. Why. Because he understands. Regardless of the starting point. He and Zhang Fan also don't want things to cause any chaos.
And Zhang Fan dares to say so now. There is only one possibility. That's when he already thinks of a solution. As for what exactly. Zhang Juzheng didn't know. But he also understood. Since Zhang Fan dared to say so. It must be the way to work.
And the ministers below. But I'm in a hurry. After all. This is the last thing they want. Now it's happening. What the hell will it look like in the future? No one knows. Don't want to know either.
And Zhang Fan didn't care about the chaos caused by his words at all. He said, "But." Wechen has another request. ”
