Chapter 679: Force Formation
Zhang Fan protected Zheng Chengxian's matter, at this moment, it is a little discussing, this matter, it can be said that it is in people's expectations, but it is also a little unexpected, although Zheng Chengxian, as the Houjun Governor's Office, that is, today's Zhili Guard, Daning Division, a governor from the first product of the same knowledge, the official position is not high, but first, he is not a court official, can not stand here to come to the early dynasty, many people are not familiar with him, second, the Ming Dynasty's tradition of emphasizing literature and light military has not changed, Zheng Chengxian is a general with troops no matter what he says, so it is normal not to be welcomed.
The reason why Zhang Fan was a little surprised by Zheng Chengxian was nothing more than these reasons for the civilian and military generals, and nothing else.
And I think it is reasonable, it is even simpler, after all, Zhang Fan has been an official for a long time, and it has also left a lot of images for people, from the fact that after he took charge of Jinyiwei, it can be seen from various aspects of the settlement of various cases, if it is a different person, after sitting in Zhang Fan's position, the most likely thing is that person will soon be assimilated by Jinyiwei, and Zhang Fan has made the entire Jinyiwei change, this change gives people the feeling on the surface that it will be like this because of Zhang Fan's weakness and gentleness, but in fact it is not, This matter has to be looked at the other way around, it is precisely because of Zhang Fan's tenacity and stubbornness that he can not be assimilated by Jinyiwei, and he can change Jinyiwei.
And now, Zheng Chengxian's matter, first of all, whether Zheng Chengxian did this without authorization, whether he led the troops without authorization, whether Zhang Fan asked him to come, these are not important, the important thing is that Zheng Chengxian did this and did a great thing, whether it is for the court or for the people, it is all a great thing.
And if, because Zheng Chengxian did such a good thing that violated the rules of the dynasty and was severely punished, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, who will dare to stand up again.
Therefore, from this aspect, it is natural for Zhang Fan to protect Zheng Chengxian, and there is no need for any comparative explanation.
And, on the other hand, there are not too many people who think of this, but they are very vigilant.
In this court, a person has made a big mistake, and it is very likely that he will not only lose the black yarn, but also lose his head, but he was saved by others, and the relationship between these two people can only be of two kinds, one is to be friends who interact with each other like a real righteous man and gentleman, they have no interest relationship between them, but they are sincere in their relationship, and they feel that the other party has not done anything wrong, or they feel that the other party will not die even if they do wrong, so they will be born and vouch for each other.
Of course, it's not that there are no ideals, but they are very few.
And there is another situation, that is, there is a relationship of interest between the two people, and it is an extremely deep relationship of interest, and there is a situation where one person is unlucky, and the other person feels that if he is still there, he can still come in handy, so to keep him, and there is also a situation that the relationship of interests between the two people, so that both parties know a lot of each other's secrets, in case one person is unlucky, that unlucky person may betray his former "ally" because of a little mercy, Naturally, the other party couldn't let this kind of thing happen, so even though that person committed a heinous crime, he had to fight to save his life.
Zhang Fan's situation, if it is seen by outsiders, it is obvious that it belongs to the former, after all, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, since then, people in this position threaten others, and there is absolutely no reason to be threatened by others.
But there are some people among these people, they understand a little better, although Zhang Fan's current situation belongs to the first type, but it is different from that kind, and those who are a little familiar with Zhang Fan understand that in fact, I am afraid that yesterday was the first time Zhang Fan and Zheng Chengxian met, and the two people who met for the first time, no matter how they thought about it, they really couldn't find any interests.
In that case, Zhang Fan will protect Zheng Chengxian, I am afraid there is only one possibility, he wants Zheng Chengxian to join his camp and expand his strength in the imperial court.
If you think about it this way, many people will think that it is very possible that Zhang Fan is in charge of Jinyiwei, although fundamentally speaking, Jinyiwei is a guard and belongs to the military system, but in fact, Zhang Fan is more inclined to be a first-class civilian official, and even from Zhang Fan's current title of Taifu, as well as his weight in Zhu Yijun's heart, coupled with his future development direction, Zhang Fan will definitely embark on the road of assisting Zhu Yijun politically.
And even in this era, even if they haven't heard the saying of the great man who was born more than 300 years later, "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", it doesn't mean that they don't understand this truth.
Even if he is a strong ruler, if he does not have the support of the army behind him, there is no way to prohibit it, and Zhang Fan's title of Taifu will always give people a feeling that he will definitely help Zhu Yijun with all his strength in the future.
Also, the form of the court now, everyone sees it, that is to say, although Zhu Yijun in the future will inevitably gain the power of the real emperor in the eyes of people, but the process is also indispensable with some twists and turns.
And in that tortuous process, what will happen, no one can say, whether it will come to the day when the army needs to be dispatched.
Thinking of this, many people shudder, but no one will avoid this question, in history, even in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and at that time, Zhu Yijun, a person who grew up from the emperor, did not have military and political power in his hands, and he only relied on a Zhang Fan.
And Zhang Fan is in charge of the Jinyi Guard, the establishment of 5,000, at most 10,000, 10,000, the stability of the Jingshi is enough, but who knows if there will be something, after all, no one can say for sure.
And at this time, Zheng Chengxian's addition is tantamount to giving Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun a great boost, and now Zhu Yijun has promoted Zheng Chengxian to a level, he is a governor from the first grade, and now he has been promoted to another level, that is the first product, although it is said that the military governor's office is above him, there are left and right governors, all of them are positive products, even if Zheng Chengxian wants to replace him, now he can only replace the right governor whose power position is slightly inferior, but he is now the official position of the first product is there, if necessary, Zhu Yijun only needs a holy decree, and the entire rear army is up to him.
Moreover, although it is said that even if he is promoted to the governor, he only has the right to command the troops, and if he wants to transfer troops, he still needs the approval of the military department, but when it really comes to that time, it is the same as what was said before, only a holy decree from Zhu Yijun is needed, and everything can pass unimpeded.
These are what many people in the hall imagine now, of course, I have to admire the imagination of these people, these things, Zhang Fan has never considered these things at all, but they have been thinking about it for so long.
Another point, in fact, the reason why Zhang Fan kept Zheng Chengxian was indeed because he thought Zheng Chengxian was very good, but Zhang Fan could also see yesterday that Zheng Chengxian had always been deliberately approaching him, and seemed to be hoping to be able to join his command, in fact, Zhang Fan did not feel disgusted with this matter, after all, in the entire court, who was not like this, let alone Zhang Juzheng, even Ge Shouli.
The only person who doesn't have friends, or even a few friends, I'm afraid there is only one Hai Rui, but look at Hai Rui now, although his official position is also high, and the people love him, whether the officials in the court like him or not, they will respect Hai Rui in their hearts, but no one wants to be like Hai Rui, and Zhang Fan doesn't want to.
And the previous Zhang Fan also took such a route, and did not take the initiative to make friends with anyone, and Zhang Juzheng was close because of his relationship with Zhang Juzheng, when Zhang Fan just entered the official career, he worshiped under Zhang Juzheng's door and became his protégé, so it is normal for Zhang Fan to have a relationship with Zhang Juzheng.
And between Feng Bao, in fact, it was not what Zhang Fan wanted, and Feng Bao at that time, whether in the court or in the people, had a high reputation, and he was extremely serious, never too much, the only thing was the gap between him and Gao Gong, and what really connected Feng Bao and Zhang Fan was not Zhang Fan's initiative, but because of the incident in Jiangnan back then, and Feng Bao's initiative.
In order to be able to sit in the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal as soon as possible, Feng Bao did a lot of actions at that time, and took the initiative to help Zhang Fan, which can be regarded as indirectly saving his name, so Zhang Fan can't say anything about Feng Bao.
In other words, Zhang Fan in the past has always relied on the appreciation of the ruler to get to today, not by relying on interpersonal relationships in the court, but this does not mean that Zhang Fan will not make friends in the future and will not go back to win friends, whether it is outsiders or Zhang Fan himself, he will not feel so.
So now, Zhang Fan has kept Zheng Chengxian, which gives people such a feeling that Zhang Fan finally wants to start forming his own forces, and with Zhang Fan's current status, the time is ripe for him to do so, and the conditions are not lacking, so many people also think so.
However, now is not the time to think about these, although it is said that Zhang Fan is likely to become very powerful in the future, but after all, it is still the early days, and there is no need to pay so much attention to it, and now, people are more concerned about the things in front of them.
Moreover, Zhu Yijun, the emperor, has also begun to ask, and behind this matter, people also feel an undercurrent.
