Chapter 740: Act Now
Heard Zhang Fan say this. Wang Meng also understood in his heart. Truly. The situation is just like what Zhang Fan said. Now the Northeast Wang Gao is plotting to rebel. The world knows it. The court was deprived of evidence. You can't be the first to strike. But today's imperial court. It's a little too calm. Ultimately. It's because there is Li Chengliang in the Northeast. Be prepared. Embattled.
Precisely because of this. The imperial court can now be so calm. There was no fear that Wang Gao would suddenly rebel. Just because of the existence of Li Chengliang. The court was not panicked at all. I believe that Li Chengliang can settle everything in the Northeast.
This self-confidence. The first is that the imperial court has Dongchang and Jinyiwei. I can bring back the current situation in the Northeast. Let people know what the hell is going on. After comparing the two sides. The imperial court discovered. No matter when Wang Gao rebelled. Now Li Chengliang, who is ready, can deal with it. And. Even if the time comes, the damage will be relatively large. But it will not exceed the bottom line of the imperial court.
Of course. This kind of mind. It also contains a kind of trust of the imperial court for Li Chengliang. Merely. This trust. There are limits to nature. As a matter of fact. This is not because of Li Chengliang's personal reasons. It's not because he's not Han Chinese. As a matter of fact. The imperial court for those who command the army locally. Whether it's Han Chinese or not. I won't be reassured. This doesn't matter when and where. This is true of all dynasties.
Occasionally, there is a Tang Dynasty who can trust the local commander. But it was also ruined on this.
It's just that it's only relative. As a matter of fact. Today's Ming Court is already very good to Li Chengliang.
But. Li Chengliang said no matter what. After all, he is not from a Han nationality with a red and positive roots. It is impossible for the imperial court to send someone to say something like "we fully believe in you" to him. Even saying it will make him more suspicious.
There was always a sense of crisis in Li Chengliang's heart. There's no way to change that.
Now if you let him know. Something happened in the Northeast. And he himself did not know. But the court did not inform him. It was actually unauthorized to send an organization like Jinyiwei to solve it. Then it will undoubtedly shake his heart.
This crisis is imminent. Don't know when. When Wang Gao will lead his troops to launch a rebellion. It would be extremely unwise to do so.
And on the opposite side of Wang Gao. He is arrogant though. But not a stupid one. At least that's what he knew. Although he knew that there was a gap between him and Li Chengliang. But in his opinion. This gap is not irreparable. This is also why he is now vigorously co-opting the Jurchen ministries. Reasons to increase your own strength.
If he catches it or knows about it. Jin Yiwei sent someone to the northeast to thwart his words. But Li Chengliang didn't move. Wang Gao can definitely see it. This matter was a decision made by the imperial court without informing Li Chengliang.
If Li Chengliang learned about it. The first reaction was. The court did not inform him. It's distrust of him. It's not a big deal. But in the eyes of many. Nothing. But what will Li Chengliang think. No one can guarantee it. Maybe he would think. The court will do just that. There must be something hidden in it. It has nothing to do with him. It's just that the court doesn't want others to know. Maybe he would think. The court just didn't believe him.
And on this matter. It is very likely that Lee will believe the latter. And whether it is Zhang Fan or Zhu Yijun. Or Wang Meng, who just learned about it. That's what they all think.
"Your Excellency has already decided. When he returned to the yamen, he went to let people prepare. Wang Meng replied. I don't know when the adults are going to let these people go. ”
"Now Wang Gao's movements are so big. But it still has to be covered up on the surface. Even Li Chengliang didn't know about it. Zhang Fan said. He had already considered this question. "Obviously. It's quite possible that he did. It won't be long before you want to rebel. So let's do this as soon as possible. Although it can't drag on the big situation. But it's good to be able to drag it out for a day. can consume one of Wang Gao's strength. Nature is also good. ”
"Humble duty understood." Wang Meng nodded. Understood. "Then ...... then"
"I know that." Zhang Fan naturally understood what Wang Meng wanted to say. "Wait until you've got everyone. I wrote a warrant with my own hand. If these people have completed the task. Then set them free. ”
That's all it takes. The two said no more. The horses traveled all the way to the gate of Zhang Fan's house. saw Zhang Fan walk in. Wang Meng immediately turned around. Rushed to the yamen. Since Zhang Fan said this, there is no further ado. Then he will naturally not procrastinate.
Zhang Fan's home. Because Zhang Fan's subordinates had already come to report it before. And Zhang Fan was left in the palace often. So the family has nothing to say. Now I'm sitting at the dinner table and eating. saw Zhang Fan coming back at this time. The family is a little concerned.
"Fan'er. What's wrong. "It's Zhao who spoke." It wasn't said before that it was in the palace. Don't you go home for dinner? Why did you come back at this time? Could it be that something is wrong. ”
"Mother. Do not worry. Nothing. After Zhang Fan sat down. Said. "There's nothing going on in the palace today. His Majesty is also a little bored. The child was not very interested when he saw His Majesty. And the child also remembered something. So he came back early. ”
"Oh. That's good. Zhao nodded. Said. "Xiangmei. Go and have someone prepare the dishes and chopsticks. ”
Take advantage of the moment when the meal has not yet arrived. Zhang Fan thought about it. still decided to say the matter at the dinner table: "Mother." Now it's summer. It's the hottest time. We're here in the capital. Not bad. But come to mind. Jiangnan must be very hot. The child means. Is it to let the uncle's family. Come and stay here for a while. First, you can escape the heat. Second, I haven't seen each other for a few days. ”
"This ......" Zhao really didn't expect Zhang Fan to mention this matter. But she was naturally happy about it. Said immediately with a smile. "Of course it's good. You'll have dinner later. Write a letter yourself. Let people send it to Yangzhou quickly. Let your uncle's family leave as soon as possible. Much more. Along. You're also taking care of your life. After all, it is not a short journey from Yangzhou. Be careful. ”
"Got it." Zhang Fan said. And he began to eat.
And at the dinner table. Several other women. Even Liang's mother looked at Zhang Fan curiously. Liang's mother's curiosity is simple. She didn't know what was going on. The other women felt a little weird in their hearts.
But after hearing about this, the Zhao family. The smile on his face never stopped.
Truly. Zhao's heart is like a mirror. Although he never makes irresponsible comments on weekdays. But how can you not worry in your heart. That time, Zhang Yufang's family lived in the capital for a period of time because of the war disaster in Jiangnan. But since they went back. Although the two are in constant contact. But they never met again. Although it is not a long time. But. This always made Zhao feel a little weird.
She was afraid. Even after Zhang Yufang's forgiveness. Zhang Fan still has a pimple in his heart. And that's exactly what happened. It's just this kind of thing. Zhao even understood. But he also kept it in his heart and didn't say it. She wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Zhang Fan. But Zhang Fan has been since that time. Although there is also quite a bit of free time. But overall, it's quite busy. In addition, the Zhao family didn't want to bother Zhang Fan. So I kept this matter in my heart and never mentioned it.
Now. Zhang Fan said so. Zhao was naturally very happy in his heart. She was still worried. Naturally, I'm happy. Although I don't know why Zhang Fan suddenly wanted to open it. But she wouldn't ask. As long as Zhang Fan can figure it out. After all. Anyway. It's all family. Estrangement between families. If it can be resolved as soon as possible. That's for the best.
"Exactly." It seems that Zhao thinks that such a happy event is not enjoyable just by smiling so slightly. Go on. "In more than half a month, it will be the day of the full moon of Lianqing. Your uncle's family is here. Just in time for a full moon wine. It's the best of both worlds. ”
"That's what my mother said." Zhang Fan heard it. also said with a smile. "That's exactly what the child has in mind."
"That's good. That's good. Zhao finished speaking. This is to get back on the job. Merely. The smile on her face didn't fade for a long time. It shows how happy his heart is.
Seeing Mother like this. Zhang Fan was also very happy in his heart. Meantime. He also regretted that kind of thought before. That not only separated the two families. Now it seems. Obviously, my mother was worried about this kind of thing. It's just that the mother is for herself. Never.
Fortunately. It's not too late to remedy.
After Zhang Fan figured these out. I was also a lot happier in my heart.
Eaten. Zhang Fan sat alone in the study. The matter at home is settled. Two big things out there. Now it's been arranged. But Zhang Fan couldn't stop and think.
The men spread out the letter. He holds a pen dipped in ink. The warrant to be given to Wang Meng has already been written and put aside. But this letter to the family. Zhang Fan didn't know how to start.
Perhaps. He still has guilt in his heart.
There was a knock on the door. Zhang Fan responded. I opened the door and walked in. It's the moon.
"Reflecting the moon. Is there something going on. Zhang Fan saw her. I couldn't help but ask.
"When the concubine saw the princess, although she was at the dinner table. Words and deeds are very comfortable. But after a meal. There is still a hint of gloom on Xianggong's face. So I came over to see Xianggong. Yingyue said. Lift the teapot in your hand. "By the way. I also made a pot of tea for Xianggong. ”
Facing the moon. Zhang Fan also smiled.
