Chapter 1266: Somewhat Dangerous
After Mu Changzuo came here, he twisted and pinched for a long time, and finally expressed his intention clearly, originally, Zhang Fan thought that he was going to say something to pit himself, but after Mu Changzuo explained everything, Zhang Fan also understood.
Indeed, if he does what Mu Changzuo said, then he will not have any trouble in the future, and even Zhang Fan, who helps him, will not have anything to do.
He wanted Zhang Fan to play Empress Dowager Li, saying that the reason why he did not come forward in this matter was because Zhang Fan had informed him in advance and asked him not to move, and the reason for not moving was that Liu Xian's army had already been prepared and was very close to Yongning Mansion, while Mu Changzuo's army was scattered all over Yunnan, and it would take a lot of time to assemble, and I was afraid that it would be too late to deal with the affairs of Yongning Mansion.
Of course, if it is only like this, it still cannot completely exempt Mu Changzuo from trouble, so on top of this, there is another reason why Zhang Fan does not let Mu Changzuo move, that is, the impact of this matter is quite large, and the ethnic minorities in the southwest have become panicked because of the incident that Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin got together, and if there is chaos in the past, it is absolutely a terrible thing.
And the reason why Mu Changzuo's army did not move was to let them continue to guard all parts of Yunnan in case there would be any emergencies.
This reason can definitely be said to be serious, and the Empress Dowager Li is not a nonsense, a person who doesn't know anything about political affairs, as long as she says so, she will agree, and as long as the Empress Dowager Li agrees with this matter, then in the future, there will be no trouble, even if it is at that time, no matter how anyone in the court says this matter, as long as the Empress Dowager Li can make up her mind, then no one will be able to move Mu Changzuo.
If you think about it like this, it's no wonder that Mu Changzuo will apologize to Zhang Fan in advance, although this matter is actually not a big deal, but after all, this is to let Zhang Fan fold the child to the Empress Dowager Li and tell a lie, if you really think about it, this is not a matter of indifference, if someone really knows about it, it is also possible to impeach Zhang Fan, and the crime, that is the crime of bullying the king, this is to be killed.
As for Zhang Fan, this kind of thing has never happened to him, and he has even done this kind of thing before, but that object is Longqing, and Zhang Fan is familiar with Longqing's temperament, so whenever this kind of thing happens, Zhang Fan never plays a setback, but directly says it to Longqing, and when Zhang Fan says it, it is also very obvious, so that Longqing can see at a glance that he is lying.
And Long Qing didn't care about this kind of thing, but when he understood Zhang Fan's intentions, and he also understood that Zhang Fan didn't want to deceive himself, so when he said everything very clearly, Long Qing wouldn't blame Zhang Fan for any crime of bullying the monarch, even if it was a lie, but if it was said in that relaxed environment, it would be fine.
But the Empress Dowager Li is different, yes, the Empress Dowager Li is also very fond of Zhang Fan, but the Empress Dowager Li's favor for Zhang Fan is a little different from Longqing's, the reason why she will favor Zhang Fan is not because Zhang Fan can do much for her, but because she is now in the court, there are many places that need to rely on Zhang Fan, just like she relies on Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan, one is in the light and the other is in the dark.
Of course, Empress Dowager Li can also change someone, but because of the relationship between Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun, she didn't do that.
But these are not the point, the point is that Empress Dowager Li and Longqing are different, not that their identities are different, but that Longqing is a man, and Empress Dowager Li is a woman.
For Longqing, Zhang Fan naturally doesn't care, he can stay by Longqing's side whenever he has time, say something to cater to him, and make him happy, but Empress Dowager Li is a woman, although she is now in charge of the government, but after all, after Longqing's death, she lived in the palace as the queen mother, and to put it more realistically, she was a widow.
In this way, only a eunuch like Feng Bao can stay with her for a long time, saying something to make her happy or something, and Zhang Fan is obviously impossible to do this, so it is impossible for Zhang Fan to talk to Empress Dowager Li about this kind of thing like he did with Longqing.
Therefore, if Zhang Fan helped Mu Changzuo with this favor, it would also be risky.
And there is another possibility, even the Empress Dowager Li understands the reason for this, and she also agrees to this matter, but Zhang Fan is still at risk, but this risk comes from Mu Changzuo's side.
In case, if someone spreads what Zhang Fan and Mu Changzuo said today, what can I do, Zhang Fan's crime of bullying the king, it can be regarded as not running away.
However, I think Mu Changzuo will not do this, even if he wants to pit Zhang Fan, he will not use such a method, after all, in this case, he still has to put himself in, so if Zhang Fan does this, even if this problem will arise in the future, it should not be possible that Mu Changzuo did it, and among the people present, Zhang Fan's subordinates naturally do not need to say it, Liu Xian is not that kind of person, Mao Zhengqing does not dare to say it at all.
But Feng Bao's words are a little difficult to say, yes, Feng Bao has really changed a lot after experiencing some things, and these changes in him are still very obvious and thorough, but no one dares to guarantee that after he has spent such a period of time, there will be any changes, for example, to change back to the way before.
And when that time comes, this matter will obviously become a handle for Zhang Fan that he has grasped, and it is a handle that can be killed, Zhang Fan is still not confident, saying that he will never break with Feng Bao in the future, once that kind of thing happens, will Feng Bao say this matter and use it to deal with Zhang Fan.
These are not necessarily things.
Of course, Zhang Fan is not without Feng Bao's handle in his hands, and the things that Zhang Fan has mastered are not trivial matters, if he really says it, Feng Bao will encounter no less trouble than his.
However, this is not enough to become a guarantee, when everyone is extremely angry, when it is really at that time, I am afraid that anything can be done, if it really comes to that point, who dares to guarantee it, Feng Bao will not say it.
All in all, this kind of thing, if you can provoke less, that's the best.
It's just that now, under Mu Changzuo's words, Zhang Fan refused this matter in person, and for a while, Zhang Fan felt that this matter was a little difficult to do.
And Zhang Fan didn't speak like this, and the people next to him were not easy to interject, especially Mu Changzuo, he was staring at Zhang Fan all the time, even if his eyes were not that pitiful, but it was clear that he needed Zhang Fan to give him an answer now, otherwise, it was estimated that he would be entangled.
Seeing Mu Changzuo's appearance, Zhang Fan only felt that it was even more difficult in his heart.
"That's right, Grandpa Guo," Suddenly, Zhang Fan remembered something and said, "When I just entered Yongning City that day, I met a person, listening to the introduction of Governor Mao, who is still the father-in-law of Grandpa Guo," Zhang Fan suddenly mentioned this matter.
This made the faces of all the people present change, not that they were discussing such an important matter just now, but Zhang Fan suddenly changed the topic, but because of this matter, in fact, it has always been concerned by the people present.
In fact, since the news of Mu Changzuo's coming came, I have been thinking about this matter here, and I am guessing whether Mu Changzuo's intention is just for this matter, and they are also speculating about how Mu Changzuo will talk about this matter after he comes.
Just now, they all thought that Mu Changzuo was going to mention this matter, but Mu Changzuo didn't say it, although he was relieved, but in the hearts of several of them, there was a faint sense of disappointment.
And now it's good, Mu Changzuo himself hasn't brought it up, but Zhang Fan said it first, and at such a time, it's really strange, after all, even if you want to change the topic, there are so many things to say, why do you want to bring it up.
However, other people didn't understand, but Mu Changzuo somewhat understood what Zhang Fan meant.
"What Lord Zhang said is good," Mu Changzuo nodded and said, "Father-in-law, he does live in this Yongning City, I think Master Zhang also knows each other, he was at the city gate before, and his father-in-law was also on his side," Mu Changzuo didn't say anything else, but just admitted Zhang Fan's words.
"But in this matter, I still have to ask Lord Zhang to have a lot of Haihan," Mu Changzuo didn't wait for Zhang Fan to speak, so he continued, "I already know the matter between Lord Zhang and my father-in-law, I have to apologize to Lord Zhang, father-in-law is like this, for these things, he is indeed more persistent, however, father-in-law is not young, there are some such problems, I hope Lord Zhang can forgive, when I go back, I will also tell him about this matter, and I hope that Lord Zhang will not care,"
Without waiting for Zhang Fan to say anything, Mu Changzuo confessed that he finished speaking, and made it clear that Ding Youyang did something wrong.
When Zhang Fan heard him say this, he didn't answer immediately, but thought silently for a while.
And Mu Changzuo didn't intervene again, just waited quietly.
"Since that's the case," Zhang Fan raised his head and said to Mu Changzuo, "I agreed to the matter of Grandpa Guo, wait a while, I will write the excerpt when I go back, send it to the capital, let Grandpa Feng do me a favor, and hand the excerpt directly to the Queen Mother's hands, as for the things on the excerpt, please rest assured Grandpa Guo, I will write it according to Grandpa Guo's intentions,"
Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Mu Changzuo also laughed,
