"Lord Zeng. General Liu. "Zhang Fan is very familiar with himself. didn't wait for Wang Xilie to introduce him. He took the initiative to say hello. "Yesterday because of the hurry. But I couldn't say a few words to the two of them. And General Liu heard that there are also some things. We didn't see each other at all. Today, the juniors came to the door. It was specially made amends to the two of them. ”

Hearing Zhang Fan's words. It sounded like a cynicism that the two of them didn't give Zhang Fan a good face yesterday. Even Liu Xian didn't show up at all. But I can't hear the meaning of ridicule. This made the two people in front of him have a bad seizure.

And Liu Xian obviously can't stand this anger. But he really couldn't say anything at the moment. It's worth skimming over. Snorted coldly.

Wang Xilie on the side saw this. His face suddenly became very bad again. Come here today. Apparently he came to reconcile. But I didn't expect it. Zhang Fan said such a thing as soon as he came up. This caught him a little off guard. But now that Wang Xilie is in this position, he can't say anything. Now. He felt as if things were getting difficult again.

And this time. Zeng Xingwu didn't want to stir up anything anymore. It seemed to him. Zhang Fan is also forgivable for doing this. Through yesterday's visit by Wang Xilie. He already understood that Zhang Fan wanted to reconcile now. But even if it's a settlement. But yesterday gave him a very bad face after all. He couldn't get down the steps. Now. Zhang Fan didn't plan to pursue anything. It's just to find some ground on top of the quarrel. If that doesn't allow it. That's just too ruthless.

"Alright, alright. Only. You don't have to do that. Zeng Xingwu said. Seeing what Liu Xian was going to say, he was going to say something. He stopped him with his eyes.

Looks. This Liu Xian has a good relationship with Zeng Xingwu. It's not just the words. It can also make Liu Xian swallow back the words that came to his mouth. I think there must be a deep friendship between the two. But now. Zhang Fan is not trying to discuss this issue. He didn't need to find out what kind of past the two of them had. Now. He does almost nothing. You just need to be low-key in your monetization.

"Lord Zhang. I know what's going on in your mind. Zeng Xingwu said. Yesterday, Master Ding came to see me. You've already mentioned it to me. But I still hope to hear it from Mr. Zhang himself. Zeng Xingwu's words were very direct. That means. He didn't believe Zhang Fan.

Quite possibly. Yesterday Wang Xilie came to look for what he said. It's just a stopgap measure. It's to settle this matter. Maybe. Zhang Fan didn't have this idea at all. Maybe...... In a word. That is to say, Zeng Xingwu and Liu Xian did not believe it.

But. If this matter came out of Zhang Fan's mouth. That's a different story entirely. If Zhang Fan said it. If he's going to be in trouble after that. That's the equivalent of slapping yourself in the mouth. This kind of thing. It is absolutely rare in officialdom. Not to mention Xiang Zhang, a high-ranking eunuch. Not even so.

Other words. As long as Zhang Fan can say this. Then all the problems are gone. After all. There are too many things that officialdom can't help themselves. Even in Zhang Fan's position. This kind of thing is still unavoidable. Involved in each other. What kind of compromise will be made? Do something you don't want to do. They all understand.

"Lord Zeng. Please don't call the juniors that. Zhang Fan said. Although the younger generation has a higher official position than the two. But in terms of seniority and seniority in the court. It's much lower than the two. It's not facing upwards here. We didn't wear official uniforms. Don't be like that.

"About that. The younger generation is indeed involuntarily. Originally, I talked about it. In September. A big event happened in the DPRK and China. I think a few people know about it. I don't know who ate the ambition leopard gall. He dared to assassinate the saints of today. To talk about it. At that time, the younger generation was beside the saint. So it's clear to see. Although the assassin has already been captured. But the situation was also urgent. The Holy One was almost ...... In a word. The two of you should know about this. ”

I heard Zhang Fan mention this matter. Zeng Xingwu and Liu Xian also changed their serious faces. He nodded his head to indicate that he already knew about it. After all, it was a big deal. The emperor was assassinated. Even if it was an attempt. But this kind of thing. Naturally, it can't be hidden. Nowadays, it is no exaggeration to say that the world knows everything.

And. The two heard Zhang Fan mention this matter. Although I haven't figured out what it has to do with what is in front of me. But they also understand. What Zhang Fan said shouldn't be something to fool people.

"There are some things that have not been hidden. But I don't think the two adults will know yet. Zhang Fan continued. After the incident. His Majesty has been cultivating in the Qianqing Palace for a month, and he has not gone to court. And this thing. Empress Dowager Li was also very angry. At last. Because the juniors were by His Majesty's side at that time. I witnessed it all the way. So this matter was finally handed over to the younger generation to investigate.

"But. This matter is really difficult to investigate. The assassin was caught, though. But the tone is very hard. Even if he was tortured by Jinyiwei. But he didn't explain anything. If it weren't for the fact that he was the only offender in the matter. The younger generation let the following be heavy-handed. But there was no way.

"Anyway. That's about it. And because of this thing. The younger generation is engaged in hair. Until this time before leaving Beijing. It's all about it. I can't get out of it at all. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's orders. The younger generation doesn't want to run this way at all. Even more so today. It's almost the New Year. My wife and children naturally want me to go back for the New Year. Not to mention that I have three more children at home. That's what I thought about more. If you can. The younger generation definitely doesn't want to mess with this matter. ”

"That'...... What the hell is going on. Hearing Zhang Fan's words. Zeng Xingwu couldn't help but ask. Apparently he was somewhat convinced. And Liu Xian on the side did not speak. But judging from the fact that he had softened a lot. He also agreed with what Zhang Fan said.

Zhang Fan saw the expressions of the two of them. I knew I had it. This kind of thing. He had been thinking about it for a long time. If it is only from the stakes in the officialdom. Although the truth can be explained. But it's hard to impress others. In that case. It sounds more like a shirk. And not in the explanation.

But. Start with the family. But that's not the case. After all. Who doesn't have family? Even if not now. There used to be. And in this regard, to give a reason. No matter who it is, there will be a sense of substitution. Unconsciously put his position in Zhang Fan's place. Put yourself in their shoes. In this way, it is easy to identify with Zhang Fan.

"There's been a lot going on this year." Zhang Fan continued. "Actually. Year-to-date. The DPRK and China have never stopped. This way. Lord Zeng handed the fold to the imperial court. Said to attack the servants. This matter was originally very big. After all, this time started last year. This matter has already been decided. This year, Mr. Zeng said that he was going to start. How could the imperial court not pay attention. But. At that time, there were some things in the DPRK and China. So Master Zeng's fold was handed over. The Queen Mother also agreed. Even the people in the court already knew about it. But not many people paid attention to it.

"Actually. Since then. The people in the court and China have almost forgotten about it. Now, if you ask the people in the DPRK about the war. Almost nine out of ten will talk about the things in the Northeast. All the way to. General Liu returned victorious. After the good news reached the capital. This is what reminds everyone of this matter. ”

"I see." Zeng Xingwu nodded. Said. But it still doesn't make me understand. I don't have to say any more. But only he ...... Liu Xian's reputation. Especially his reputation for fighting. It is absolutely impossible for him to deceive his superiors and subordinates. It's as much as it should be. Why are you still here? ”

I heard Zeng Xingwu ask. Zhang Fan showed a wry smile. said: "This matter is really a coincidence. The two adults should know. Since the death of the emperor. After the crown prince succeeded to the throne. Because the crown prince is too young. I can't go to the court in person. So. Now it is actually the Empress Dowager Li who holds great power in the court.

"The prestige of General Liu. No one in the DPRK or China knows. When the younger generation was still at home. I had several encounters with Lord Wang Chonggu. I also heard Lord Wang mention General Liu. Later, General Qi Jiguang also said about General Liu. Not to mention the DPRK. As long as you are not a newcomer. And who does not know?

"But. These things about General Liu. We courtiers know. The Emperor knew. But the Queen Mother didn't know it. The Queen Mother knows. It's just that this dynasty has fought more than a dozen times against the servants. It all ended in failure. All in all. In the eyes of the Queen Mother. The servants are not invincible though. But there is also a great price to pay if you want to win. So even if the detailed battle report came later. The Queen Mother is still skeptical.

That's when someone from below proposed. Someone has to be sent to find out what's going on. And then make a plan. At last. It was just as the two adults had seen. It fell on the juniors. Frankly. The younger generation is really helpless about this.

"Originally, the younger generation wanted to. It's good to come here and make a show. Who knew that it would be like this after arriving in Sichuan. The younger generation opened up yesterday's letter. I hope the two adults don't take it to heart. ”

Zeng Xingwu and Liu Xian listened to Zhang Fan's explanation. They all sighed helplessly.

And Zhang Fan saw the appearance of the two. Naturally, I understand it in my heart. The two of them already believed their words.
