It is said that the most fickle person in the world is people. And among men. It is generally believed. The most fickle are women. But I'm afraid to say so. Women will not be convinced.

Yet actually. It is true that women are not the most fickle of all people. The most fickle. It should be a politician. And because in this patriarchal society. Most of the officials are men. So it can be said. Men are actually more fickle than women.

But here. We don't need to discuss men and women. There is no outcome to be discussed on this issue. Here's what to say. In fact, it is the word politician. Relations between politicians. It's like between countries. There is no eternal love or hate. Only eternal benefits. Even between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars built by the remnants of the Yuan and Mongolian remnants in the north. It has been a war for more than 100 years. But this is not. As long as it is possible to find a way of peace and reciprocity. Then don't you fight on both sides? And this time not only did not fight. The two sides also cooperated.

And Zhang Fan is the same now. He did think that Feng Bao was a good person before. Not only can I read the general situation. And the political views are also quite clear. But now. Zhang Fan is also going to stand on Ge Shouli's side to oppose Feng Bao. Although Zhang Fan hasn't done anything yet. But at least he was against Feng Bao in his heart.

Someone may ask. Isn't all of this a matter of profit? But why is Zhang Fan doing this now. But it is as if he is standing on the road of morality. In fact, just think about it the other way around. Zhang Fan did not do this without the slightest interest.

If Zhang Fan doesn't care now, he doesn't ask. Or rather, to help Feng Bao. So now it's Ge Shouli. Or what other people stand up for. It will definitely not stop Feng Bao. But Zhang Fan also understands a truth. The birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked. It's a bit too much, though. But that's the way it goes.

If it was before. Zhang Fan naturally doesn't have to be afraid. After all, it was Long Qing, who used to hold real power in his hands, who took care of him. And now. Although Zhu Yijun, who sat on the throne, still trusted Zhang Fan very much. Even more trusted Zhang Fan than before Zhi Longqing. But nowadays. It was Empress Dowager Li who came to power. And the most trusted by Empress Dowager Li is Feng Bao, the eunuch.

Of course. Although Zhu Yijun is too young now. But there will always be a day when he grows up and is in power. Wait until that day. Zhang Fan naturally didn't have to be afraid of Feng Bao anymore. But. Zhu Yijun is only ten years old now. And Empress Dowager Li's current health is really good. No sickness or pain. It doesn't matter who is looking at it. There is absolutely no problem for Empress Dowager Li to live for another few decades.

So. When will Zhu Yijun be able to pro-government. That's a tough question to answer.

As a matter of fact. It's not hard to figure it out. After all. Although Empress Dowager Li loves power. But it's not imperious. Even if the current national affairs are up to her. Moreover, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng were also attached to the Empress Dowager Li to get to the top.

This is not the case. To know. Empress Dowager Li, he is a woman after all. The woman is in charge of the affairs of the government. In the Central Plains for thousands of years, large and small dynasties. It's just too much. And Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to avoid this kind of thing back then. The rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics has been clearly circulated.

So. Even if you want to do it now. Empress Dowager Li is the largest. Also the most powerful. But it was almost impossible for her to personally give orders to the imperial court.

So. She needs to rely on the power of others. Plainly. It is Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. And in comparison. Feng Bao is now bigger than Zhang Juzheng. But Feng Bao, he was a eunuch. If it's for a supervisory body like Dongchang. Zhang Fan's brocade guard is enough. And now in the harem. Empress Chen was already frail and sickly, and she was silent. Ever since Longqing died. This is even more so. So in the whole harem. It was also Empress Dowager Li who had the final say.

And what she really needs. is a mouthpiece that can be her own. A person who gives orders outward. And this person. Naturally, it is Zhang Juzheng. So at the end of the day. Zhang Juzheng is the person that Empress Dowager Li really needs to rely on. Merely. Although this matter is clear to everyone. Including Zhang Juzheng. But no one was going to put it on the surface. Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao have never been soft on Zhang Juzheng. And Zhang Juzheng never felt that he had been wronged. Never mentioned.

So it can be said. If Zhang Juzheng is not in the court, he will no longer be in the court. Then Empress Dowager Li may no longer ask about anything.

And it just so happens. Zhang Juzheng is still not very old now. But he was also sick. Only now. I couldn't see anything outside. But that's exactly what happened on the inside.

In a word. That's what it's like now.

Right now. Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng are two. It's kind of a union. wants to give Ge Shouli a dismount. I want him to obey them.

Zhang Fan sat on the side. Not a word was spoken. He was preoccupied with what was in front of him. Not too worried. After all, he had already figured out Feng Bao's plans. But seriously. This kind of thing. With the identities of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng now. If it's someone else here. I'm afraid they've already agreed.

But what kind of person is Ge Shouli? Zhang Fan also understands. If just these two sentences can scare Ge Shouli away. Then Ge Shouli is not Ge Shouli.

Really. Facing the two poems of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. Ge Shouli was really calm. The face is fearless.

By this time, spring was more than halfway over. There are several elm trees in the courtyard. But it has already branched out. There are a few elm pods that fall to the ground. Ge Shouli is also really suitable for the situation. Pointing to a few elm pods on the ground. The poem said: "The elm money all over the land does not help the poor." You can't help it, and I can't do it. ”

As soon as Ge Shouli's words came out. Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng on the scene were extremely ugly.

The elm money that Ge Shouli said is the elm pod. Elm trees before they grow leaves. First of all, elm pods will grow. This elm pod. It is shaped like a copper coin. That's why it's called elm money.

The meaning of this poem of Ge Shouli is. The ground was full of elm coins that looked like copper coins. But this thing can't be used as money. You Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng can't use it. I can't use Ge Shouli either. Ultimately. Ge Shouli's words were actually said to Zhang Juzheng. Compare Feng Bao to this is just a copper coin but not a copper coin. The metaphor of his current power is just a passing moment. I, Ge Shouli, naturally disdain to be in company. But you, Zhang Juzheng, can't be willing to fall.

Although Ge Shouli did not answer Feng Bao's words positively. But he has made it very clear. He won't obey Feng Bao.

on this. Feng Bao was naturally unhappy. The expression on his face is also very bad. It's not too vicious, though. But he definitely looked very unhappy with Ge Shouli. And Zhang Juzheng. It can be regarded as a good face after many years of training as an official in the court. Ge Shouli said so about him. He is also able to "bear the burden of humiliation". There was no shame on his face.

But at this time. Feng Bao looked at Ge Shouli with some annoyance. And Ge Shouli also looked at him conciliatorily. The two fought silently. But he didn't have the time to pay attention to Zhang Juzheng. But Zhang Fan on the side could see it. Although for what Ge Shouli said just now. Zhang Juzheng's face didn't show any expression at all. But he definitely felt a little guilty. The most obvious thing is the eyes. It's a bit of a mess. And when Zhang Juzheng found out that Zhang Fan was looking at him. He turned his head a little. Although these actions are really not big. But Zhang Fan has already found out.

"Master Ge is worthy of being a great talent in charge of the transfer department. This elm money cannot be used as money. That's true. Feng Bao stared at Ge Shouli. sarcastically mocked him without being salty.

"What Grandpa Feng said is yes. This can be regarded as Ge's duty. Ge Shouli also replied to him without being salty. It's just that Ge is not conceited. Just feel this kind of thing. There is no need for a household department to answer Levi's father-in-law. Three-year-olds are well known. ”

Okay. Ge Shouli once again got into trouble with Feng Baomao. And. There is no longer any emotion in the speech. Definitely as long as you can catch a little bit of a loophole. I will never give up. Mock it.

And this time. Obviously, Feng Bao was completely enraged by Ge Shouli. It was evident in his angry eyes. But. Feng Bao didn't do it this time. It erupted right away. Instead, he held back. He didn't say anything to Ge Shouli. Just laughing. He also beckoned Ge Shouli to sit down and drink.

See Feng Bao like this. Ge Shouli didn't mean to leave with his sleeves brushed away. sat down according to Feng Bao's meaning. Afterwards. Several people seem to have returned to their previous harmonious appearance. Talking, chatting, drinking. It was quite "pleasant".

However, although Zhang Fan also talked and laughed with them. But he was very worried in his heart. It's because today's Feng Bao is too weird.

If just now. Feng Bao is the same as before. As long as it is the slightest disadvantage, you will shout and scold. In Zhang Fan's opinion, this is nothing. But Feng Bao was unusual. Didn't say anything. Endure it.

Received such humiliation. But he didn't have a seizure on the spot. Instead, I endured it in my heart. This definitely does not bode well. This kind of humiliation and inability to vent the resentment that arises. It will always remain in people's hearts. Slowly brewing. After knowing that it turned into a deeper and unforgettable resentment. So what follows is what to bring. It's definitely not something that can be solved with a few words of yelling.

Zhang Fan was worried. Feng Bao endured today. In the future, will he use any other tricks to retaliate against Ge Shouli.
