Chapter 961: Ingenuity
The matter was settled, Wang Meng and Liang Chao followed Zhang Fan to Sichuan, and in the capital, Wang Degui stayed behind and was responsible for protecting Zhang Fan's family.
And after learning that Zhang Fan asked Wang Degui to stay to protect his family, Wang Meng and Liang Chao also fully agreed, without the slightest hint of opposition, Wang Degui's ability and thoughts, they have also been taught, and now that Wang Degui stays, they don't say anything more.
And Zhang Fan originally wanted Wang Degui to live in his own house temporarily, after all, Wang Degui's words, Zhang Fan's mother Zhao, as well as Ru Xue and Zhao Xue, they all knew each other, and there was nothing inconvenient, and if anything happened in the future, there would be someone to take care of it.
But Wang Degui didn't agree with Zhang Fan's arrangement at all, and in the end, Zhang Fan really couldn't resist his temperament of admitting death, so he set up a small courtyard on the edge of his house and gave Wang Degui to live in, this time, Wang Degui didn't say a word, accepted, after all, now he has taken refuge in Zhang Fan, served in Jinyiwei, and will live in the capital in the future, now there is such a courtyard, it is naturally a good thing, the first thing he did was to let people take his mother-in-law and children.
Seeing Wang Degui's excitement, Zhang Fan was also very happy in his heart, after all, the two have known each other for a long time, and now even because of the previous relationship between the two, they have been in touch again, so that Zhang Fan plans to give Wang Degui a better chance, but all of this is based on Wang Degui's ability, whether it is Wang Degui's skills or his serious attitude, it has also made him an important reason why Zhang Fan can promote him.
And after these things are done here, Zhang Fan began to prepare to go to Sichuan, in fact, this time, let him go to Sichuan, it is clear that he has given the other party a very eye-catching reminder, after all, such as this kind of reward for great victories, most of the time it is by the eunuchs, at most, there will be people from the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of War, and even if these people go, there are other reasons, and they are all high-sounding, and they can tell the reason.
But now, Zhang Fan has gone, what is this, Zhang Fan's identity is many, but in this matter, the identity that can be said is actually only two, one is the Taifu of the dynasty, but, like this kind of rewarding the great victory of the war, is it necessary to let the Taifu of the current dynasty go, and obviously, Zhang Fan's identity is also destined to be the leader of a group of people who went to Sichuan this time, and the Taifu took the lead to reward the military exploits, which is really something that has never been heard of.
And if it comes to Zhang Fan's other identity, it is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, of course, if Zhang Fan goes as the governor of the Jinyi Guard, it can also be said, after all, things like this kind of war exploits and war reports have always been false, even if the court received the war report of the great victory, but it may not be the actual situation, if the time comes, it will go down like this to issue a decree and reward, but in the end it is a matter of inconsistency with the war achievements, in the end, not only is there trouble over there, but the court is also going to lose face, Therefore, if it is said that this time Jin Yiwei will go to investigate, it will make sense.
However, this is just reasonable, but it is not possible to make sense, after all, the commander of the war this time, the governor of Sichuan Province appointed Liu Xian, and what kind of person Liu Xian is, now there is no need to narrate, Liu Xian not to mention that for so many years, he has made outstanding achievements, and more importantly, his official behavior is also difficult to find fault, whether it is in ordinary life, or in the officialdom, the most important feature is that Liu Xian is very upright.
For Liu Xianlai, even now, he has not fought any defeats, but he still firmly believes that "victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers", the reason why he has not been defeated so far, in his opinion, is only because he has not met a general who can defeat him, but this does not mean that this person does not exist.
Therefore, Liu Xian will definitely report truthfully about such things as the war report, and when he reads Liu Xian's battle report, he said that a few people died, that is, how many people died, and there will definitely be no less one, and he said that a few people were injured, that is, a few people, and there will definitely not be one more.
And now, Zhang Fan went, and Zhang Fan went with the Empress Dowager Li in the name of finding out the truth of the matter, of course, this truth is not the truth, as for letting Zhang Fan find out what it is, only Zhang Fan and Empress Dowager Li and a few of them understand, but it is useless for these people to understand this matter, and it is not possible to say it.
However, Liu Xian didn't know this, and there was only one possibility in Liu Xian's view, that is, Empress Dowager Li thought that he was lying about the military situation, so she sent Zhang Fan over to find out something, so that even if Liu Xian was more upright, he would abide by various orders issued by the imperial court, but this way would inevitably make him disgusted, and when that time came, maybe Liu Xian didn't have to do anything, and his subordinates would take the initiative to fight for him, and when that time came, What awaits Zhang Fan is endless trouble.
Of course, the trouble is not only these, this is only on the surface, everyone else can guess it, and under this, there are other things that will make Zhang Fan even more difficult.
That is naturally about the matter of Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan, and the reason for this is naturally needless to say, and this time, it is precisely at such a stall that Zhang Fan is going to Sichuan again, although on the surface, it is because of this great victory of the imperial court against the servants that Zhang Fan has to go to the country of abundance once, but how many people think that Zhang Fan's visit to this place this time has nothing to do with the assassination of the little emperor Zhu Yijun, I am afraid that as long as there is a little brain, all will see that there is something else in this.
Moreover, this time, Zhang Fan's actions were not concealed, in this way, Zhang Fan's going to Sichuan is a matter known to passers-by, and in this way, no matter what Zhang Fan is going to do, but his identity as the governor of Jinyi Wei, coupled with the matter of going to Sichuan now, is definitely inseparable from Zhu Xuanqi in anyone's eyes.
For Zhang Fan, it doesn't matter what others think of this matter at all, what matters is how Zhu Xuanqi looks at it, and unfortunately, no matter what aspect you look at this kind of thing, there is only one possibility, Zhu Xuanqi will definitely think about the thing that Zhang Fan doesn't want him to think.
Then, when Zhang Fan arrives in Sichuan, whether it is Zeng Xingwu, Liu Xian and others on the surface, they will resist him; And in the Shuduan Palace, which is secretly in the palace, will definitely not give him a good look, so Zhang Fan will immediately become the most unpopular person in Shudi, and no matter what he wants to do, he will encounter layers of resistance.
Since this situation is already predictable, then now, Zhang Fan has to prepare for himself to start planning, but, in the face of such a dilemma, what should be done in this preparation, to be honest, Zhang Fan doesn't have much clue at all.
However, this is a problem that is in front of him and has to be considered by him, if there is no way to deal with it at that time, it will not only be a problem of returning empty-handed, it is very likely that Empress Dowager Li will also have to deal with him.
And it's not just the problem on Empress Dowager Li's side, it is very likely that Zhu Xuanqi will do something to him, after all, even if Zhu Xuanqi doesn't know that Zhang Fan is also involved, but it is impossible for him not to fight back on this matter, but, obviously, even if Zhu Xuanqi knows that it is Empress Dowager Li who is behind this matter, it is impossible for him to complain to Empress Dowager Li or anything, and if he wants to fight back, this account will naturally be counted on Zhang Fan, the ghost who is a substitute for death.
And Zhang Fan, no, let alone Zhang Fan, no matter who he changes, he doesn't want to be a substitute for the dead ghost, and Zhang Fan naturally doesn't want to do it even more.
The problem is that now, he can't think of a way to do both, which can not only allow him to complete the task of the Empress Dowager Li without being implicated, but also allow him to not run into any trouble even if he does not complete the task due to some unexpected circumstances.
Although this sounds like it is indeed difficult for some strong people, after all, there are not so many things in this world that have the best of both worlds, but Zhang Fan understands that if he doesn't do this well, what awaits him will definitely not be a gentle good thing, so it doesn't matter if he forces himself, he has to come up with a way to do both, otherwise, he will definitely be in big trouble.
However, don't really say it, even when Zhang Fan forced himself to find a way, he really came up with an idea, although this idea sounds a bit unbelievable at first glance, and even makes people feel a little incredible, but Zhang Fan thinks that this idea is really very good.
After all, when he falls into a dead end, only if he thinks that people dare not think about it, can he be surprised, but Zhang Fan's decision is equivalent to gambling, and if he wins, he will naturally gain fame and fortune, which will greatly benefit, but if he loses the bet, although he will not be killed, or fall into a place of no return, but it is definitely what he does not want to see.
However, there is a way that is non-toxic and not a husband, since he promised the Empress Dowager Li at the beginning, then he will do it like this.
