Chapter 454: A Letter
"Every time you do that. It's not a good thing. Zhang Fan said playfully to Liang Chao, who was about to speak.
Listen to what Zhang Fan said. Liang Chaoyou, who had already opened his mouth, closed it. looked at Zhang Fan and Wang Meng with embarrassment.
"Alright. Just kidding. Zhang Fan didn't intend to tease Liang Chao. Keep asking. "Say it. What the hell is going on. You come here. I'm afraid things won't be small. Is there news from the southwest? I was still talking to Wang Meng about this just now. ”
"Your Excellency. There has been no news from the southwest so far. Liang Chao said. His brow furrowed deeply. "Something to be told of your humble duties. Actually, it's ...... in the imperial court." Liang Chao stopped.
"In the court." Listen to Liang Chao talk about the word imperial court. Zhang Fan's brows were also deeply furrowed. "Something happened lately."
Recently, Zhu Yijun just registered. Nothing happened though. But everyone understands. This is just the calm before the tsunami comes. It seems that everyone is holding back something. Once it erupts. The consequences are unimaginable.
"Adult......" was asked by Zhang Fan. Liang Chao was a little slumped and spit out. There seems to be some words. He didn't dare to say it to Zhang Fan.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Liang Chao didn't speak. Zhang Fan was naturally very curious. I thought about it. Asked. "Is there something that has anything to do with me?"
"Actually...... This matter has something to do with adults. It also makes sense. Liang Chao still didn't answer immediately. Said hesitantly. "But. If you really count it. This matter has nothing to do with adults. ”
"You're singing." Zhang Fan was a little annoyed. "Turn it over and go around. Don't hurry up yet. ”
"Yes." Liang Chao was drunk like this by Zhang Fan. also hurriedly said. "Actually, this thing. It is related to the gentleman of adult. ”
"Teacher." I heard that it was about Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Fan was puzzled. "Teacher...... What happened to him. Zhang Fan wasn't too worried about Zhang Juzheng. He understood. Today's Zhang Juzheng will inevitably not cause any trouble. And. Although Zhang Juzheng is in the company of Feng Bao. But that's about it. I haven't done anything too out of the ordinary. Even if others want to frame him. There is no good way to do it. Otherwise, Gao Gong would have done this a long time ago.
"Don't you say. Teacher, he has been doing something lately. Zhang Fan couldn't help but think in his heart.
Forthwith. Liang Chao began to speak.
This thing. It also starts after Zhang Fan and Feng Bao have a good relationship. Since then. Feng Baoke completely regarded Zhang Fan as a big help for him in the future. On business. Many things are not hidden from Zhang Fan and Jin Yiwei. Therefore. Today's East Editorial Factory Yamen. There are also many people stationed in Jinyiwei.
Originally, Zhang Fan was not willing to do this. So as not to misunderstand Feng Bao in the future. Or use this as an opportunity to do something. But this is what Feng Bao himself strongly demands. Zhang Fan had no choice. Of course. Correspondingly. There are also spies from the East Factory among the Jinyi Guard. This has been around for a long time.
Both parties now. As long as it's not too secretive. Usually they don't hide it from each other.
What Liang Chao wants to talk to Zhang Fan now. That's where it comes from.
Here's the case. Early this morning. A letter was sent from someone in the East Factory. Originally, this was quite commonplace. Only at the time of the investigation of the customary investigation of the messenger. found that the person was actually a subordinate of Zhang Juzheng's mansion.
This time. But it makes people curious about the content of this letter.
Since this letter did not specify that it should be handed over to Feng Bao first-hand. And even so. For this kind of letter. It's all going to be taken apart and examined.
Liang Chao wants to report to Zhang Fan. It is exactly what is written on this epistle.
"Lord Zhang...... The high arch was sold. Liang Chao said such a surprising sentence.
"What the hell is going on." Really. Heard Liang Chao say this. Zhang Fan hurriedly asked.
It turned out to be that day. Gao Gong has already made up his mind. must defeat Feng Bao, who is the biggest threat to himself. Figured out the high arch of this matter. Someone needs to work with him. And this person. Gao Gong thought about it. thought of Zhang Juzheng's body.
In fact, the high arch would have such an idea. Not surprising. It is understandable that he did not look for Guo Pu. After all, everyone can see it now. Guo Pu is lacking stamina.
And Zhang Juzheng. On the one hand. Both of them were former ministers of the Yuwang Mansion back then. We know each other very well.
And Gao Gong also understands Zhang Juzheng's ambitions. Although Gao Gong does not appreciate Zhang Juzheng's cautious way of doing things. But he understands that Zhang Juzheng has real talent after all.
In a word. Gao Gong made up his mind to unite Zhang Juzheng. Even. There is another idea in Gao Gong's heart. An idea he'd never show for it.
Gao Gong is not young now, after all. Although he used to be beautiful. Although he is now standing at the top. But Gao Gong himself always felt a little imperfect.
And this time. In fact, Gao Gong had an idea in his heart that he didn't even want to think about himself. That's the first time to fight. It should be his last. As long as this time it can be successful. The high arch really stands at the top. There was nothing in his way anymore.
Of course. If he fails this time...... No. Gao Gong never thought he would fail.
So. Gao Gong went to find Zhang Juzheng. Knowing with affection. Move to reason. It's not just about holding the country's righteousness. and used his ambition as a bait to invite Zhang Juzheng. Gao Gong even put forward the theme of leaving a name for the ages.
Think about it too. If Feng Bao is removed. The reason used is necessarily a big deal. I think it's also some kind of cholera government. Heinous crimes such as misappropriation of imperial power.
So come this way. Remove Feng Bao, the hero of the "traitor". That is, only Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. Naturally, it is possible to achieve fame. The name has been left for eternity.
So. These words are used by the high arch. came to send an invitation to Zhang Juzheng.
And Zhang Juzheng. Even Gao Gong was right with what he said at this time. But he couldn't agree with it. Zhang Juzheng's teacher, Xu Jie, was a major contributor to this.
Zhang Juzheng wanted a new deal. Want to reform. But Xu Jie had blocked his path.
This. made Zhang Juzheng a little disappointed in the old ministers in the court. This has nothing to do with the agreement between Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao. If you can achieve your ambitions. It's nothing to sell out your current partner.
But Zhang Juzheng understood. If you agree to the high arch. The two joined forces to eliminate Feng Bao. But in the future. Zhang Juzheng understood. Gao Gong may not necessarily agree with his own reforms.
And Feng Bao. Feng Bao, who is now working with Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng understands. He completely identified with himself.
So. Instead of going to help with the high arch. Make someone who is not sure will deny the same person. It's better to hold on to the present. Feng Baolai, who made it clear that he supported himself, wanted more insurance.
Therefore. Zhang Juzheng, who had already planned in his heart. Ostensibly a proposal for a high arch. Just a little thought. So he agreed.
But behind the scenes. Gao Gong just left. Zhang Juzheng wrote a letter. told Feng Bao the whole story. This is exactly the letter that Liang Chao said.
And the news. Let Zhang think deeply. More. Actually, it's worry.
Actually, this kind of thing. People before the set. Behind a set of actions. It is not uncommon in the DPRK. Or so to speak. Very common.
But Zhang Fan. I have never seen Zhang Juzheng like this.
True. Although Zhang Juzheng is a good official. In addition to facing Feng Bao. Usually the style is rigorous. Honest and honest. But Zhang Fan didn't recognize it clearly. Zhang Juzheng will not do anything dishonorable.
Or even the other way around. In Zhang Fan's view. Zhang Juzheng in order to achieve his ambitions. There are a lot of things like this that will be done.
Zhang Juzheng's great name even in later generations. It is also famous. People who do not know the truth of history. will make Zhang Juzheng a role model. An ancient reformer. An absolutely positive character.
Once. Zhang Fan, who knows little about history, thinks the same.
But wait until he comes to this Ming Dynasty. After entering the official career. Everything was told to him. In the incomparably mixed dye vat of the official road. I want to be clean and self-loving. And be able to stand out. It's definitely a hard thing to get to.
Although such people are not without them. But that's very rare.
Of course. There were also such figures in the Ming Dynasty. Yu Qian is a living example. But in the end, it still didn't end well.
The vast majority of people who can get on top. It's still by tricks. There are still a lot of inglorious dark histories that have only come to the fore.
Zhang Fan is familiar with Zhang Ju. Zhang Juzheng is upright. But if Zhang Juzheng can be like Yu Qian. Ascend to the pinnacle of power with integrity. Estimation is also difficult.
This is the case today. Zhang Fan had expected it a long time ago. Even. Zhang Fan understands. This is bound to happen to Gao Gong.
But now. Things really happened. Zhang Fan was a little overwhelmed again.
It was a little too early. It came a little suddenly. Zhang Fan didn't understand it too much in his own heart. But Zhang Fan understands one thing. He didn't like it.
For a long time after that. There will no longer be any innocent people in the court. Even if there isn't much in the first place. But now......
But Zhang Fan understands. Now it's a foregone conclusion. Even if you don't want to see it. There is no power to change. Or maybe he didn't want it to be like this.
"What's going on there Feng Bao?" Zhang Fan asked.
"There's not much movement yet." Liang Chao said. Feng Bao also just saw the letter sent by Master Zhang. But it looks like a humble position. With Feng Bao's temperament. He's going to strike first. ”
"That's true." Zhang Fan said. "But it's up to Feng Bao to do it. But come to mind. With Feng Bao's temperament. I'm afraid it must be a big deal. ”
