"Yo, Master Zhang,"

"Hello Lord Wang, where are you going in such a hurry," Zhang Fan didn't care too much, just regarded it as a very ordinary meeting, and asked questions by chance.

"Alas, Lord Zhang doesn't know something, now the situation in the northeast is unstable, although the court has long known that Wang Gao thief is not dead, has been plotting to plan a rebellion, but there is no evidence, has not been able to start, now, the movement in the northeast, I think Lord Zhang also knows, although the court still has no evidence, but, the Empress Dowager has already issued an edict, let Li Chengliang step up his guard, ready to meet the rebels at any time,"

"So that's the case, then Lord Wang is, I have to hurry to the Ministry of War to report, since this is the case, I won't delay the adult's business, next time I have the opportunity to invite Lord Wang to appreciate his face, go to my house to drink two cups," Zhang Fan saw that he had already asked, so he didn't delay any longer, said a few polite words, and after sending away, he continued to walk towards the Qianqing Palace.

Today, there is a sutra feast in the Qianqing Palace, but now this sutra feast is very different from the past, the original sutra feast, don't care, it must be Zhang Juzheng, unless Zhang Juzheng really has something important to go away, then it will be let people speak, but the person who speaks on behalf of him is either Gao Yi or Zhang Fan, after all, these two people, one is completely under his command, and the other is his protégé, even if there is any difference, there is no problem for Zhang Juzheng.

But now it's different, just like now, today, it was none other than Zhang Siwei who had just gotten out of a crisis to give Zhu Yijun a lecture on the scriptures.

Doesn't it sound funny, it's obviously Zhang Siwei, the person who is against Feng Bao, but now, he is standing here, giving the emperor a lecture on the scriptures, although it is said that if it is at the banquet ceremony, it will definitely not be him, but at this moment, he is standing there, which still makes people feel extremely weird.

After all, the reason why Zhang Siwei suffered that crime before, in the final analysis, was not because he offended Feng Bao, but offended Feng Bao, Feng Bao wanted to find trouble with him, but he didn't succeed, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military jokes, but also had to be afraid of Empress Dowager Li who didn't know what method to use to punish and beat him.

In view of this situation, it is conceivable that Feng Bao is definitely becoming more and more ruthless towards Zhang Siwei, especially in the case of this kind of naming that he hates to the extreme, but he can't make any more moves against him, that is, hatred is added to hatred, for Feng Bao today, even if outsiders don't know what he is thinking in his heart, but if Feng Bao wants to skin Zhang Siwei cramps and eat him alive, it is absolutely believed.

And Zhang Juzheng, only Feng Baoma is the first to look forward, so in the face of Zhang Siwei, whom Feng Bao hates so much, how could Zhang Juzheng let him give a lecture to the emperor, this is simply a little incredible.

Of course, if you exclude these, just look at the knowledge or something, Zhang Siwei is definitely enough, in fact, in this court, not to mention these court officials, Beijing officials, that is, officials from other places, there are many people who just look at knowledge, and they are enough to be competent for this move, but the main lecture on the scriptures is not trivial, whether it is a grand ceremony or an ordinary small banquet, then in addition to knowledge, it also depends on qualifications.

In terms of qualifications, Zhang Siwei is also completely in line.

Since, whether it is qualifications or knowledge, then the next point, it is to look at interpersonal relationships, and in fact, this is the most important point, no matter how high your knowledge is, no matter how old your qualifications are, no one agrees with you, it is all fart, although it is a bit vulgar, but it is true.

Obviously, Zhang Siwei today does not have this interpersonal relationship, but why does he give lectures on the scriptures, this is actually what Zhang Juzheng meant, but no one understands why Zhang Juzheng did this.

Zhang Fan is the same, this matter was decided yesterday, when Zhang Fan heard about this matter, it was not too late, it was in the afternoon, when Shen Shi had just passed, and Zhang Fan, who heard the news, was not vague at all, and immediately went to Zhang Juzheng to ask for an understanding.

Thinking of the conversation with Zhang Juzheng yesterday, Zhang Fan was puzzled in his heart until this moment, and he couldn't figure out what Zhang Juzheng was thinking.

At yesterday's meeting, Zhang Fan had already asked everything that should be asked, and even had something to say, implying that he was asking if Zhang Juzheng did what Feng Bao ordered, and whether there was any conspiracy in this, Zhang Fan didn't believe that Zhang Juzheng would not understand these words.

And in fact, it is also the case, how could Zhang Juzheng not understand what Zhang Fan wanted to ask, but Zhang Juzheng's words to Zhang Fan were the culprits that made Zhang Fan puzzled so far, Zhang Juzheng shook his head very seriously in front of Zhang Fan, saying that he did not have any intention to do this, nor did he listen to Feng Bao or anyone's orders, it was completely his own intention, and he himself never wanted to frame Zhang Siwei.

What Zhang Juzheng said is that now the matter of water control in the three places is about to come to an end, and although the reconstruction has not yet begun, but even so, during this period of time, the trial of the "Examination Law" has achieved remarkable results, and the three places have allocated a total of millions of taels of silver, and now the date of completion of the water control, the number of deficits is less than 10,000 taels, although the deficit still exists, but compared with the past, it is simply a sky, an underground, completely incomparable.

And the number of officials who are found to be greedy for ink is not high, there are hundreds of people, but there are hundreds of people in it, and those who are implicated are not counted, otherwise the number will be even more, of course, this is also what Zhang Juzheng meant, he doesn't want to do it so desperately at the beginning, in that case, not only can it not help himself, but it will have the opposite effect, and now that there can be this kind of result, it will make Zhang Juzheng very satisfied, and the most important thing is that this effect makes no one in the DPRK and China oppose him.

Now, Zhang Juzheng is preparing to greatly promote the "Examination Law" in the court, but Zhang Fan can't help much in this matter, after all, he still has the things to be explained by the Empress Dowager Li at the moment.

So, in the cabinet, Grohe has become Zhang Juzheng's most important helper now, don't look at this Grohe, now he is completely obedient to Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, but he still has it, and with him to assist Zhang Juzheng, naturally there is no problem.

But the problem is that even if such two capable people work together, things still seem to be a little too busy, and in this case, Zhang Juzheng still has to give Zhu Yijun a lecture on the scriptures, just with his figure, it is obviously a little unrealistic.

Therefore, now this heavy responsibility has fallen on Zhang Siwei.

As far as Zhang Fan pointed out, Feng Bao, who learned the news, did not make any remarks, of course, this does not mean that he will be willing in his heart, in fact, the main reason why Feng Bao did not speak is that this matter was also approved by the Empress Dowager Li, if it were not for this, Feng Bao would definitely not not speak, looking at Zhang Siwei so close to Zhu Yijun.

All in all, that's how it happened, and today, as the first time Zhang Siwei gave a lecture on the scriptures, Zhang Fan wanted to come to see what the situation was, but the news he heard on the road just now made Zhang Fan think about it in his heart.

The situation in the Northeast is now very unstable, although in fact, there is no difference from some time ago, Li Chengliang was prepared early, has been solemn, beware of Wang Gao's attack, and now there are just more than 20 more people to disturb Wang Gao's plan, and let this matter be exposed, but it is naturally impossible for the imperial court not to do anything about it.

It's just that even so, the court still doesn't have any evidence that Wang Gao intends to rebel, and the current situation, in the final analysis, is that Wang Gao himself is slaughtering his own tribe, and there is a group of heroes who can't see it, and they just draw their swords to help each other, of course, for the court, they want to see this meeting, but they will definitely not agree with those people.

But even so, for the imperial court, there is still no evidence, the teacher pays attention to a general righteousness, and the teacher must be famous, and now, there is no evidence, and there is no reason for it, no matter from that aspect, there is no condition for the teacher.

Of course, the imperial court can also completely let go of these, go directly to the northeast, and hit Wang Gao by surprise, in this way, there may be some damage, but it is always much less than waiting for the palace to attack and counterattack in defense.

It's just that this is really a policy, if it is not a last resort, it is absolutely impossible to do this, although the Jurchens in the northeast are nominally submitted to the Ming court, but in any case, they are also foreigners, and under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, there are many such foreigners, and some are bullied by the Han people.

If the Ming court division is unknown and directly sends troops to attack Wang Gao, this must be a warning to foreigners in other places, warning them that the Ming court has always had the mind of "not my race, its heart must be different", then at that time, the scene of continuous rebellion in various places can be imagined.

All in all, things are very troublesome, and for Zhang Fan, he just hopes that Wang Degui can come back safely, if he can kill a few more generals under Wang Gao, so that there will be fewer deaths in the war at that time, it will be better.

Thinking of these things, Zhang Fan had already walked outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, shook his head, put aside the distractions in his mind, Zhang Fan was about to step on the stairs, but the guard on the side stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"Your Majesty is having a feast, and Lord Zhang has ordered that no one should enter and disturb him," the guard said in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice and expression.

"......" faced with this face, Zhang Fan was confused,
