Chapter 905: Doubtful
Empress Dowager Li just threw such a tricky question to the ministers present. For this though. These ministers have nothing to complain about. Well, after all. This kind of thing. The stakes are high. It must not be easily cut off. Even now the emperor has been assassinated. But nothing happened after all. Since nothing happened. So there's a lot to be said about it.
But that's not what these people care about most. It was the last sentence that Empress Dowager Li just said. The phrase "so is good".
Before. Empress Dowager Li asked Feng Bao if he also wanted to participate in this matter. And Feng Bao replied no. Although it is far-fetched to say that the excuse of "something". I don't know if it's true or not. However, Feng Bao said that he did not want to participate. People can figure it out. Well, after all. It hasn't been long since Zhang Siwei's incident passed before. Even now. Zhang Siwei has already entered the cabinet. Even Zhang Siwei now has a good relationship with this Feng Bao, who once wanted to put him to death. But all the people in the DPRK can see it. Now Feng Bao's actions. It's a lot more convergent than before. There is only one reason for this. It was Empress Dowager Li's "warning" to Feng Bao that still made Feng Bao feel palpitations until now.
So. Feng Bao now said that he didn't want to get involved in this matter. That's for everyone. It's all a thing that can be figured out. But. Empress Dowager Li did not participate in Feng Bao's work. It's not the kind of "it is" in common sense. Instead, he said, "That's fine." What does that mean.
If you want to talk about it. The phrase "so is good" is obviously not problematic either. But if you really think about it. That's a big problem. What is called "this is good". It sounds like it's just that. It's great that Feng Bao doesn't get involved in this. And think about it the other way around. If Feng Bao is involved. What's the problem? Feng Bao's Dongchang and Zhang Fan's Jinyiwei were listed as the two "most famous" organizations in the Ming Dynasty. What to do. Everyone in the DPRK and China knows about it. Everybody knows.
Now. The Emperor was assassinated. This kind of big thing. Naturally, the clearer the investigation, the better. Even if it is the final investigation to find out what is really going on. But nothing can be done. But this matter must also be revealed. Case. Just let Zhang Fan's brocade guard check. Why don't you let Feng Bao's East Factory also investigate? So come on. Obviously, what comes out of the survey will be more reliable. But for Feng Bao's non-involvement. Empress Dowager Li was not unhappy. He also said "That's fine". How can this not be a little confusing.
It's hard to say. The emperor was assassinated. And what other things are not to be heard. What knows the less people the better. If that's the case. What exactly will be in it.
These people were there. To be called here after this happened. It's clear that all of them are eminent. A man with great power in his hands. And these people. Naturally, it won't be stupid. Think again. These people were a little surprised in their hearts. Although the face is still calm. But in the heart. It was really a mess.
But. These people didn't think about it so much. They didn't consider that this matter would be planned by Empress Dowager Li herself. After all. The scene of the assassination that Zhang Fan described just now. I really can't believe it. It was pretentious acting. Definitely a real stab.
And with such a prerequisite in it. This has made a big difference in the thinking of these people. The first thing they think about is: Empress Dowager Li already knew what was going on in this matter. Even if you don't know. You'll know a rough idea.
And in their opinion. This is most likely to be related. That's why Empress Dowager Li just asked Zhang Fan to investigate this matter alone. They are not naïve enough to think that the reason why Empress Dowager Li did this is just because Zhang Fan has been by Zhu Yijun's side from beginning to end in this matter. Witnessed how easy it was to get the whole process. There should be other reasons.
And what else is the reason? It only exists between Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Fan. There is only one thing these people can think of these people these days. It's the thing that Zhang Siwei did before. The thing that incited the people to riot in the capital. Since it was found out that it was not Zhang Siwei's instigation, that incident was not instigated. was released to Zhang Fan and Feng Bao to investigate. But. Although it is said that it is nominally Zhang Fan and Feng Bao. But everybody knows it. Feng Bao did something bad in that matter. So that matter was just given to Zhang Fan to investigate.
And that incident has not yet been resolved. is still influencing Feng Bao. But there is no news anymore. Dragged to the present. Even if someone mentions it once in a while. But I also feel it. This matter is estimated to be so depressing. I won't mention it anymore.
And now. Something like this happened. And. Empress Dowager Li made it clear this time. I don't want Feng Bao to interfere. still only appointed Zhang Fan alone to investigate this matter. Many people may find it strange. There is almost nothing to do with each other. If only there was anything similar. That is, there is only one person who investigates these two things, Zhang Fan.
Ordinary looks. This is simply far-fetched. It's not a justifiable reason at all. But who are these people present? How sensitive they are. Even if it's just a reason that seems far-fetched. That's what it means for them. It was enough to alert them.
And now that they have an idea. I had to think about it. And these people don't think about what the assassination has to do with Empress Dowager Li. That's it. All they could imagine was. The Emperor was assassinated. and the things that incited the people to rebellion before. There is a connection.
Maybe. Although that thing has been going on since. So many times have passed now. There was almost no news anymore. But perhaps. The matter didn't end there. Maybe. Zhang Fan is still investigating in secret. And in the recent past. Zhang Fan's investigation. There was finally a breakthrough somewhere.
This is not something incomprehensible. After all, Jin Yiwei's actions. Everybody knows. Now that Empress Dowager Li has already ordered it to go down. It's absolutely impossible for things to end without a following.
And perhaps. will cause Zhu Yijun to be assassinated. It's just because of Zhang Fan's investigation. Or maybe. Zhang Fan investigated something well-founded. But Jin Yiwei's investigation may have gone awry. Let others know something. This eventually led to the fact that the emperor would be assassinated.
So much maybe. Sounds a little incredible. But. Nor is this impossible. Especially. This kind of thing happened in the imperial court. Then there is nothing impossible. Anything that seems impossible at all. Inside the court. All of them are possible.
That's it. I can't help but let these people present think otherwise. Maybe. Zhang Fan's investigation really has some eyebrows. But this eyebrow. Not a good sign. Among them, there are big names involved in what status. And Jin Yiwei leaked the news during the investigation. Let the "big man" hear something. After all. incitement to rebellion. That's a big deal. But the sin of rebellion. As long as you want to. It is perfectly fine to put him to death. And for what reason. offended the imperial court. Well, after all. Able to do that kind of thing. There is definitely something deep hatred with the imperial court. Thereupon. After knowing that the brocade guard had found his head. He was in a hurry. Just take the risk. Assassinate the Emperor. Let the court be too busy with this matter to take care of anything else.
That sounds crazy. Also very unconsidered. For the benefit of one's own one. Dare to cause trouble in this world. It's madness. But madness. But it's not something that can't be figured out. If it is said that things are related to a person's life and death. Then anything crazy to do. It's not surprising.
And these people think so though. But that's not all. There is one exception. This person is Zhang Juzheng. Feng Bao would not have considered this. Now he doesn't bother to think about these things at all. He didn't care what was going on. Anyway, he Feng Bao just didn't care. I don't even want to think about it in private. That's it. is the safest.
But Zhang Juzheng was not so worried. The main thing is one point. He is one of these people today. The fourth person who knows best what happened to Zhang Siwei from beginning to end. Zhang Juzheng understood. Zhang Siwei's matter was all done by Feng Bao alone from beginning to end. There's no way anyone else is involved. But. Zhang Juzheng also understands. It was absolutely impossible for Feng Bao to do such a thing as assassinating the emperor. So. This thing now. What the hell is going on. This time, Zhang Juzheng couldn't figure it out.
And actually. Zhang Juzheng once doubted. And what he suspected, probably. That's the truth of the matter. But that maybe. Zhang Juzheng just thought about it and gave up. He is absolutely impossible to think. Empress Dowager Li would let people assassinate her own son. Especially this own son is still the emperor. It is the guarantee of her power now.
"How. They all stood and didn't talk about what to do. "No one spoke. Empress Dowager Li also realized that she seemed to have slipped out of her mouth just now. Fortunately, she thought about it. These people don't guess anything. That's what reassuring. "It's all out. Still stunned for what to do. Let's talk about it. No matter what you say. The mourners will not blame. ”
