Chapter 340: Candidates for Cabinet Entry

"This is three or four months. The tall man looks really getting better and better. Zhang Fan said with a smile. Suddenly, he asked with a mysterious expression. "Have you been there lately?"

"What did you say, Lord Zhang? High someone is average. That's it. The man was immediately very polite. Then he whispered. "Master Zhang, don't talk about that again. I'm long gone. "That's it. He also smiled to hide his embarrassment.

I remember three or four months ago. At that time, Zhang Fan had just received an order from Longqing to go to Jiangnan. One day, Zhang Fan was extremely bored. I walked around the street and came to the Bada Hutong area. Entered a building. It was there. Zhang Fan met this person. GROHE.

Saying. Zhang Fan returned to the Ming Dynasty five hundred years later. Discover a lot of things from history. Especially some big things. Something he knew. It's not going to change big because of what has changed. But it's also to blame that he's not familiar. A lot of the little things have changed. It's just that Zhang Fan himself can't detect it.

Let's just say that this Gao Yi who is now standing in front of Zhang Fan. He is a living example of this. The original history. Grohe is miserable. He was a Jinshi of Jiajing for 20 years. Counting it, he and Gao Gong are in the same department. He has done editing at the Hanlin Academy. When the waiter is lecturing. Tai Changqing, who is in charge of the Hanlin Academy of Yingtianfu. By the forty-fifth year of Jiajing. The official worship department is still in the book. It's just that he was unlucky that year. There was a fire in the house. Do you have the money to rebuild? I had to borrow it from a friend's house. Afterwards. He was recuperating due to illness.

It was because of that fire. made Gao Yi, who was a second-class member of the imperial court, change his mind. A dignified second-class member of the imperial court. There was a fire in the home. I didn't have the money to repair it. In the end, I had to borrow it from a friend's house. It's nothing short of an insult. During the time when I was idle at a friend's house. Although friends don't snub to him. But Grohe didn't suffer less from the eyes of the people around him.

This treatment made a difference for him. So much so that when Gao Gong later recommended him to re-enter the court. He agreed without any thought. With that opportunity. Grohe can be said to have improved his life achievements a lot again. By the time Longqing was critically ill. The three ministers who were summoned were Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Yi.

However, real history is brutal. Historically. It has been less than a month since the three ministers were released. Long Qing is critically ill. Zhu Yijun ascended the throne as Emperor Wanli of Shenzong. Zhang Juzheng united with Feng Bao to drive Gao Gong out of the cabinet. Driven out of the imperial court. And Grohe, who got the news. It's even more difficult to sleep and eat. Didn't survive a month. He vomited blood and died.

The original Grohe was a tragic figure. But the Grohe that Zhang Fan knew seemed to be a different person. This man has been in the public since he first entered the official career. It's very "chic" to live. It can be described as a dog and horse. But Grohe is also quite righteous. There are certain things that he can always do with his own principles. This makes Grohe a bit of a dilemma in today's court. Let other ministers not know what to do with him.

It's just that Zhang Fan doesn't know what Grohe was like in the original history. If only he knew. Surely, it will be a surprise.

This Grohe is also because of a change in nature. So his life is not good now. It's not bad. At least be greedy for a little money. filial piety of subordinates and the like. These are inconsequential little fortunes. Almost everyone in the DPRK and China has done such a thing. Perhaps it is precisely because of his self-sufficient small-scale peasant economic thinking. Nearly forty years after Grohe entered the dynasty. Always alone and out of the house. Never get involved in someone's struggle. He never divides himself into camps. Even among the supposedly neutral faction. There is also no Grohe.

This man can be said to be forgotten by the people. But when he wanted to stand up. But no one can ignore his position. After all, it has been forty years in the DPRK. This is a condition of seniority. A lot of money.

And Grohe himself. But I also want to go one step further. But he didn't have a way. I don't know what to do. Yan Song, Xu Jie, and now the high arch. Honestly. He couldn't look at any of them. It's so brave and ruthless. No matter how good you are, fight. It doesn't always last long. Only the kind can endure. Only those who wait for the opportunity can achieve the ultimate victory.

But Grohe also doesn't look down on Zhang Juzheng. It's not that Zhang Juzheng's side is too sharp. Mainly because he can't stand that kind of fake gentlemanly attitude. I really don't want to be gossiped about by people in the same camp.

But why has he endured until the current Grohe? will actually start Zhang Fan's idea. Zhang Fan has a high starting point, the appreciation of the emperor and the crown prince, and an infinite future. These are the criteria that make people able to defect. But there is the same. Zhang Fan did not meet GROHE's requirements. That is, Zhang Fan is not the kind of person who swallows his anger. Good talker. If someone else provokes Zhang Fan. He'll fight back, too.

But there is one. Grohe is no small now. If he endures it again, he will be obscure again. There will be little chance in the future. He also saw the right moment. In addition, Li Chunfang has long had the intention of retreating. That's why I met Zhang Fan by chance that day. and he proposed that he wanted to join the cabinet. If you really want to say it. This can be regarded as the last fight of Grohe's life.

"I don't know if Lord Zhang asked me to come here today. What's the matter? "No nonsense. Jump right into the topic.

Zhang just heard about it. Something happened in the morning in the middle of the court. Zhang Fan didn't say it explicitly.

But Grohe is not a fool. Naturally, he could hear what Zhang Fan was saying. Let's talk about the morning of the pilgrimage today. Except for Li Chunfang's case. Nothing else happened.

"Master Zhang refers to Lord Li's matter." Gao Yi said with an admiring look. "Master Li is really a role model for my generation. Dare to speak up. Gao is out of reach. Admire, admire. ”

This Grohe is quite similar. There was no surprise or joy on his face. It's just a look of admiration there.

Zhang Fan naturally knew what he meant. Although now the two are basically standing together. But after all, there is no conclusion on this matter. There is no such thing as a conclusive matter. Naturally, it can't be done accurately.

"Why should you be like this, Lord Gao." Zhang Fan had no intention of making a detour. Say it directly. "You and I both know it. I'm afraid that Lord Li won't be able to escape this catastrophe this time. Or maybe Master Li himself doesn't want to go on like this. Want to end it all sooner. ”

"Hmm. Gao also thought about this. Grohe said. Merely. Gao didn't think this was true before. Now I've heard what Master Zhang said. I'm afraid it's true. ”

"That's it. Zhang Fan wants to congratulate Master Gao. Zhang Fan suddenly clenched his fists. Said with a pleasant face.

"This ...... Mr. Zhang. Forgive Gao for being ignorant. Where does this joy come from? Grohe had a puzzled expression.

Zhang Fan saw him like this. I couldn't help but despise it in my heart. This nomenclature is already known. But they still have to pretend to be people who don't know here. It's the most uncomfortable.

"Why do you want to be sloppy with me here, Lord Gao." Zhang Fan said directly. "You and me. Including most of the people in the DPRK and China. Although not admitted. But I know it very well in my heart. This time, Master Li's return to home is probably a foregone conclusion. No one can change that.

"And if Master Li is gone. Isn't this just a vacant seat in the cabinet? For example, the cabinet pays homage to the prime minister, which is the dream of all the ministers. There will certainly be no fewer people staring at that position. But I'm afraid that there are very few characters who can get in. After all, the high arch is a must-win for that position. Mr. Gao is here today. I should know better than I do. Li Dacai has just played a rebuttal to Gao Gong's impeachment of Xu Gelao. Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhen's impeachment of Master Li was taken out by Guo Pu. An excerpt from the impeachment of officials in the matter of the Heavenly Palace. Impartiality was taken out at such a moment. Tall adults don't think it's a coincidence. ”

"It's no coincidence. Matters at the court. Where is there a coincidence of such a statement. Grohe nodded. gave Zhang Fan affirmation. "The high arch must have been prepared for this a long time ago. It's not just high arches. This is also a trick that the ministers of the DPRK and China like to use. Which minister was in the last court. I will carry a few copies of impeachment to other officials in my arms. Especially the twists and turns of their own heads. There's nothing strange about that. ”

"Master Li is gone. The position is vacant. Gao Gong will inevitably want his man to take that place. Zhang Fan continued. Now in the DPRK. There are not many people who are eligible to join the cabinet. But there will be no less. At least there are such people among the high-arched henchmen. ”

"What does Lord Zhang mean......" Gao Yi looked at Zhang Fan. Said. "That location. Now it is already in the pocket of the high-arched party. ”

"It looks like it now. That's really the way it is. Zhang Fan said. After all, the Gaogong party is now the most powerful. ”

Heard Zhang Fan say this. Grohe suddenly frowned. But it quickly flashed over. And didn't stay long. He understood. This is just Zhang Fan's words to hang his appetite. If Zhang Fan really thinks so. There was no need for him to come over to Grohe today.

"Still. Zhang felt that there was someone who had the strength to compete for that position. Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"Oh." Grohe suddenly showed an interested expression. Asked. "I don't know who Master Zhang is referring to."

"Haha." Zhang Fan said with a smile. "This man is far away. It's right in front of you. ”

I heard Zhang Fan say his satisfactory answer. Grohe laughed too.
