Chapter 816: Selected in the Palace
"What are you talking about," Zhang Fan's face became as surprised as he could, he looked at the guard in front of him who was obviously already a little trembling, but was still forcibly calming, and asked involuntarily, "Don't let me in,"
"That's right," although the guard was facing Zhang Fan, he was actually sweating, but he still forced his composure, and said coherently in a forced voice, "Lord Zhang has an order, on the way to the banquet, unless the Queen Mother is here in person, otherwise anyone who comes, they have to be stopped,"
"Even I was stopped," Zhang Fan pretended to be surprised, and then changed his face to be very curious, and asked, "Then let me ask you, if Gonggong Feng and the eldest bachelor come, they won't let them in,"
"Yes, I will never let you in," the guard in front of him was already a little trembling, but he still stiffened his mouth.
"Then why is the Queen Mother here, but she can enter," Zhang Fan looked like I was going to embarrass you, and continued to ask, "If the Queen Mother comes, after entering, whether it is Zhang Siwei or Your Majesty, don't they all have to pay a few more respects, wouldn't that delay time even more?"
"This ...... Master Zhang said, "The guards are not afraid when they hear Zhang Fan say this, the reality, this is indeed what Zhang Siwei taught him, "If the Queen Mother comes, we can't stop it, we can only let the Queen Mother in, after all, the Queen Mother is the master, as for the other people, whether they are scholars or ministers, they are all courtiers, and there is no difference, they can all be stopped,"
"Hehe......" Hearing him say this, Zhang Fan laughed, but this laugh was not sarcastic, but Zhang Fan really thought it was interesting in his heart, yes, what the guard said just now was not wrong at all, Empress Dowager Li is the lord, as the person in power now, let alone this palace, even the whole world is her final say, where can anyone stop her here, and the same is true for ministers, whether it is a bachelor from the official to the first grade, or a great eunuch, or those who are nine grades, they are all courtiers, There may be differences in official powers, but in essence, they are all courtiers, and in this respect, they are the same.
As for Zhang Fanlai, the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, at this moment, he didn't know how to admire, who to admire, whether to admire Zhang Siwei who could say such a thing, or to admire the guard who could execute these words so well, but obviously, there was a problem here.
The guards in the palace are all very slippery, especially those guards who have been in the palace for a short period of time, Zhang Fan is in front of him, although he can't name it, but Zhang Fan definitely knows him, he has come to the Qianqing Palace a lot of times, and this person is what he often meets.
And such a person, whether it is Zhang Fan's understanding or his age, he has obviously been a guard in the palace for many years, and it is absolutely very rare to be able to do so according to Zhang Siwei's words.
"Since that's the case, then I won't embarrass you," Zhang Fan said, but before the guard in front of him came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Fan continued to speak, "But I have something to ask you, don't say how loyal you are, the words explained by the officials must be fully implemented, don't say that I don't believe this kind of thing, I'm afraid you don't want to believe it,"
"This ...... My lord ...... "Hearing Zhang Fan say this, the guard was obviously stunned, and then wanted to quibble about something, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, obviously, what Zhang Fan said was completely correct."
"If you admit it, that's good," Zhang Fan continued, "It's just that, in this way, I'm even more curious about what Zhang Siwei told you to make you carry out his orders like this,"
"Don't blame the adult......" Hearing Zhang Fan ask, he no longer insisted, and said, "When Lord Zhang explained these words to the villain before, the villain didn't take it to heart, anyway, when the time comes, even if he lets people in, in the end, Lord Zhang blames it, as long as the villain says, it can't be stopped, but Lord Zhang seems to have been prepared, he said to the villain, if someone comes in, not the queen mother, then he will transfer the villain out of the palace and go to the border area to guard, adult, villain This is also a last resort, If you offend Gonggong Feng, you may be beaten, but if you are transferred out of the palace, it will cost the villain's life, it's not that the villain is afraid of death, it's just that the palace is rich, is there a reward or something, the villain is now old in the family, and there are young in the family, and the whole family is counting on ......"
"Stop, stop," Zhang Fan quickly interrupted his chatter, "Needless to say, I understand," Zhang Fan said on his lips, thinking about this in his heart, Zhang Siwei is very good at talking, using this kind of thing to "intimidate" others, indeed, what the guard in front of him said is not wrong at all, if he blocks others, there is no problem, after all, he is on duty in the palace, even if others want to trouble him, it is not so easy, besides, where will there be so much idle time.
If Feng Bao is stopped, the most he can do is beat him, and now Feng Bao is on the cusp and will not kill people easily.
But once he is transferred out of the palace, it will really be a trouble, no matter whether the situation in his family that this guard said is true or not, but this month will indeed be much less, and what Zhang Siwei said is also a thing, he is in charge of Zhan Shifu, and now he is also supervising the affairs around the emperor, this power is still there, not to mention, Zhang Fan feels that Zhang Siwei can really do it, after all, for Zhang Siwei, this kind of person who does not listen to the orders of the official is indeed useless.
Looking at the guard in front of him, and seeing that he was still looking at him with an expectant look, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't embarrass you, I just have some things to do over there,"
Hearing Zhang Fan say this, the guard immediately showed a relaxed look, exhaled, and said, "Thank you, Master Taifu,"
Zhang Fan turned around and left, still thinking about this matter in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more interesting Zhang Fan felt, it seems that this Zhang Siwei is not simple, and he also knows how to manipulate people's hearts, of course, manipulating people's hearts is a thing that makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but now this is a special case.
All in all, it depends on what you use this skill for, whether it's good or bad, that's the main thing.
In this regard, Zhang Siwei can definitely be said to have used the right path, and Zhang Fan naturally has no good reason to be biased in this regard.
The most important point is that Zhang Fan, who learned this, was still a little happy in his heart, because he understood that Zhang Siwei was not a person who didn't know that he should be flexible, especially in this matter, Zhang Siwei gave Zhang Fan a good hint, when necessary, the theory of flexibility still exists, which is much better than letting a person who only has justice in his heart do it.
Thinking about these things clearly, Zhang Fan also quickened his pace, he just told the guard that he still had something to do, but it was not a lie, he did have something, this matter, or his own people got rid of him, saying that it was his own people, in fact, he was among the Jinyi guards, his own subordinates.
The person who got rid of Zhang Fan is the Jinyi Guard who is now on duty under him to command the affairs, Wang Chaoyao, to say that this Dynasty is really nothing to praise, people look ordinary, of course, to be able to mix in this position in Jinyiwei, qualifications, ability, and most importantly, to know how to be obedient.
Since Zhang Fan took charge of Jinyiwei, there have not been many personnel changes in Jinyiwei, but only a few people have had a change of position, and this dynasty is one of them, the reason why Zhang Fan will use him is also to see that he has some ability and can do things obediently, the most important thing is that he has a set of talking to people, and he will not promise easily, nor will he leave any handle for the other party.
If it is placed in another place, this person is too conservative, but in the position of commanding the servant, he often has to deal with the people of Dongchang, and this skill is necessary, so it is also very suitable for Wang Chaoyao to take up this position.
However, these have nothing to do with what Zhang Fan is going to do in the palace today, although he is also entrusted by the Hand Dynasty.
I checked the bag of things in my arms, there were some broken silver in it, and there were many silver tickets, both large and small, these were all given to him by Wang Chaoyao, of course, don't get me wrong, these are not Wang Chaoyao's bribes Zhang Fan's money, if it is a bribe, it will naturally be a large amount of silver tickets, it will not be broken silver, and Zhang Fan will not care about these.
Zhang Fan's help to Wang Chaoyao this time is free, after all, they are all people in the Jinyi Guard, although they are his subordinates, but this favor does not seem to have any problems in Zhang Fan's eyes, and, the most important thing is that Zhang Fan feels that this favor is worth helping.
What the hell is going on?
Speaking of which, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, although the emperor is still very young, but since he is the emperor, all the pomp and circumstance must be paid attention to, one of which includes the draft girl.
Of course, the draft of the Ming Dynasty is not like the kind of society today, those who wish to take the bait, it is mandatory, send people to find beautiful women in various places, and then bring them into Beijing as a primary election, after the primary election, the remaining people still have a few procedures, and finally there will be about 300 people left, living in the palace, and in the end only about 100 people can successfully enter the palace.
Now these girls are already in the palace, including Zheng Chengxian's daughter Yu'er, of course, Zhang Fan didn't come this time because of her, after all, that incident was wrong, Ru Xue didn't tell Zhang Fan, which also made Zhang Fan lose the last chance to stop her from entering the palace.
Zhang Fan came this time to help Wang Chaoyao send money to his daughter, yes, Wang Chaoyao's daughter was also selected, and now she is in the palace.
