Zhang Fan really didn't know, why did Empress Dowager Li ask him about Zhang Siwei, well, Zhang Fan can admit one thing, after the previous incident, the relationship between Zhang Fan and Zhang Siwei is indeed very good, but after all, this time is very short, Zhang Fan is not qualified to evaluate Zhang Siwei to others, so Zhang Fan replied to Empress Dowager Li's words without saying anything, which can be regarded as impartial.

But when he said this, Zhang Fan kept thinking about this, what was going on, why did Empress Dowager Li ask him this question, why was it, and no matter what else, let's just ask him, Zhang Fan believes that Empress Dowager Li must have asked other people this question, even if she didn't, after asking herself, she would ask others.

And this is obvious, Empress Dowager Li will ask this kind of question, there must be some idea, and it is aimed at Zhang Siwei, but what is this idea, Zhang Fan is a little puzzled, of course, obviously this is not a disaster, otherwise Empress Dowager Li would not have asked such a question at all.

"Weichen is brave, may I ask why the Queen Mother has such a question," Zhang Fan, who really couldn't figure it out, felt that this matter was very important in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, but although he didn't know, Zhang Fan felt in his heart that this shouldn't be a bad thing.

"Well, this matter is actually nothing, and it doesn't hurt to say that it is okay to listen to Aiqing," Obviously, Empress Dowager Li is not ready to hide anything from Zhang Fan, after all, she has asked everything, and it is nothing to explain again," In fact, yesterday when Zhang Qing's family talked to the mourning family to talk about the feast, and recommended Zhang Siwei, he mentioned one thing, among the six scholars in the cabinet, Wang is over seventy years old, and he himself is also retiring, and he has mentioned it many times in front of the mourning family, and Zhang Qing's family also said the same, but, At that time, the DPRK and China were not as 'calm' as they are now, and there were not many people who could do it, so the mourning family did not express their position, and this matter was temporarily put aside.

"However, when Zhang Qing's family came to visit yesterday, he mentioned this matter again, and the mourning family also felt good in their hearts, and besides, the dictionaries of Scholar Wang had also been handed over to the mourning family, so ......"

"The Queen Mother wants to ......" Hearing the Empress Dowager Li say this, Zhang Fan already understood what she meant, and it was inevitable to be surprised," ...... I want Zhang Siwei to enter the cabinet,"

"What, is there anything wrong with this matter," Empress Dowager Li saw Zhang Fan's reaction, but it was a little unexpected for her, and she couldn't help asking, "This matter is not a big deal if I think about it, why is Zhang Aiqing so surprised, or is it difficult for Zhang Siwei to be a minister?"

"No, no, no, Weichen didn't mean that," Empress Dowager Li's words made Zhang Fan immediately come back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Whether it is the Queen Mother or Lord Zhang, the ability to choose people to see people, Wechen doesn't dare to have any micro-words, but Wechen has some doubts in his heart, why choose Zhang Siwei, the people who can take on this important task in the court, although they don't say much now, there are also people,"

"Alas......" Empress Dowager Li sighed, looked very helpless, and said, "As Aiqing said, there are people who can take on this important responsibility in the court, but there are really few, Ge Shouli is a talent, he is old, and he is a veteran of the three dynasties, whether he is knowledgeable or knowledgeable, even if he is too strict, he can be regarded as it, but now he is the post of the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, which is also very important, once he leaves office, there are a lot of troubles, if he wants to hold two positions, I am afraid he is old, It's also overwhelming,"

"This ...... It's ......" Regarding Empress Dowager Li's words, Zhang Fan did not have any rebuttal.

"As for the others, some are also like Ge Shouli, and their qualifications are enough, but some of them are already in important positions, and some are also quite old," Empress Dowager Li said, "The mourning family also thought about it for a long time before making such a decision, but before the decree was issued, the mourning family also wanted to listen to the opinions of other people,"

"If that's the case, Weichen has no opinion," Zhang Fan said, "As the same humble official said, Zhang Siwei has no problem taking on this important responsibility whether it is qualifications, knowledge, or character, but Wechen doesn't want to object, but Wechen has a question in his heart, although people like Zhang Siwei are rare, but they are not nothing, there are still a few like him in the court, why does the Queen Mother just take a fancy to him,"

Zhang Fan's question is not just so simple, after all, it has not been long since Zhang Siwei was involved in the lawsuit, and Empress Dowager Li made such a plan, Zhang Fan had to think more in his heart, and in fact, when he thought of this question, Zhang Fan already had two answers in his heart, two essentially the same answers.

In other words, after that incident, the Empress Dowager Li never did anything to Feng Bao, and even everyone, including Feng Bao himself, did not have a beating that everyone understood, if it was the beating of the Empress Dowager Li to let Zhang Siwei enter the cabinet, then the stick was too big and too heavy.

Although it is said that today's imperial court is almost completely controlled by Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, and there is not much improvement in the entry of a person like Zhang Siwei into the cabinet, but this will bury big trouble in the future.

Or, because of what happened last time, Empress Dowager Li really had some dissatisfaction with Feng Bao in her heart, in fact, it is worth playing.

Now the ostensible situation is that Feng Bao is favored with Empress Dowager Li, and then holds power and controls the government, while Zhang Juzheng is attached to Feng Bao, relying on Feng Bao's relationship, controlling the cabinet, and then controlling the government.

From this point of view, Feng Bao is the biggest, and Zhang Juzheng is just a person who climbs along the pole and is attached to Feng Bao.

But in fact, this is not the case, Feng Bao, in the final analysis, he is a eunuch, even if his current power is great, it can't change this, in history, eunuchs have made chaos, and there are many people who have made a big mess, but it is all because of the connivance of those in power, if Empress Dowager Li wants to depose Feng Bao now, there will be trouble, the situation will be chaotic, but there is absolutely no big problem, the vacuum of power, under the hands of her, who controls the real power, will be filled immediately.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng is the person that the Empress Dowager Li needs to rely on the most, after all, the Ming Dynasty Zuxun, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, although the Empress Dowager Li is now in power, but she does not plan to be the second Wu Cao, and she will not even do such a thing as listening to the government, it can be said that the Empress Dowager Li is a person who is authoritarian and does not abuse power, at this point, it is really commendable.

However, even so, she is a woman after all, she is also a harem after all, if it is said that under her governance, the Ming Dynasty can prosper, then the halo must be placed on the emperor and those meritorious ministers, although everyone will understand her merits, but will definitely not sing the praises of virtue, maybe there will be records in the history books, but not too much.

However, if the Ming Dynasty deteriorated during her reign, then the blame must be counted on her head.

That is to say, whether it is from the big aspect, the good governance of the Ming Dynasty, or from the small aspect, to take good care of her reputation, Empress Dowager Li must make the world of the Ming Dynasty better, and it is not Feng Bao who can play a role in this regard, but Zhang Juzheng.

In other words, although on the surface, there is still a Feng Bao between Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li, but Feng Bao's center is not important, if he is eliminated one day, there will definitely be no problems, and it will only make the situation better.

As for Feng Baolai, his status is now above Zhang Juzheng, but in fact, he doesn't need to rely on Zhang Juzheng.

Could it be that Empress Dowager Li plans to abolish Feng Bao now.

"Hehe, this matter was not brought up by the mourning family," Empress Dowager Li faced Zhang Fan's question, and saw that he was also thinking hard, so she naturally understood what he was thinking in her heart, and couldn't help but say, "Actually, this is proposed by Zhang Qing's family,"

"What," at this moment, Zhang Fan was really taken aback, this matter was actually proposed by Zhang Juzheng, which is simply a bit unreasonable, although Zhang Juzheng's potential is unlimited, in a few years, Feng Bao will have to act according to his color, but now, Zhang Juzheng can't argue with Feng Bao.

Now Zhang Juzheng still has a lot of things to rely on Feng Bao, and there are also many handles in Feng Bao's hands, if Feng Bao was abolished by Empress Dowager Li, then everything is easy to say, but if Zhang Juzheng is involved in this matter, then everything will be different.

Facing Empress Dowager Li's words, Zhang Fan couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "It's always him...... What the hell are you going to do?"

"Zhang Aiqing, the mourning family knows what you are thinking," and Empress Dowager Li, in front of Zhang Fan, said this, "Actually, things are not as complicated as Aiqing thinks, Feng Bao, it is also very useful for the mourning family,"

"Queen Mother," although the Empress Dowager Li pierced her heart, Zhang Fan didn't mean anything else, this was very obvious after all, "That...... Could it be ...... The teacher recommended Zhang Siwei to join the cabinet...... Could it be ......" Zhang Fan also thought of a possibility.

"Yes, Zhang Siwei is quite in agreement with many things about Zhang Qing's family," Empress Dowager Li said, "In today's cabinet, although Gao Yi helps, several other people are also silent, but one more person is better than one less, and Zhang Siwei is obviously a person who dares to speak, which is enough,"

"The Queen Mother's words, Weichen understands, it's just ......" Zhang Fan was still a little worried, "Is it really such a simple answer,"

"Naturally, it's hard to say, Aiqing is still thinking about something else," Empress Dowager Li smiled and continued to walk forward.

And looking at the back of the Empress Dowager Li, as well as the graceful and luxurious smile just now, without a trace of gloom, Zhang Fan's heart couldn't be calm.
