Before the noon gate. It's not yet time to open the door in the morning. There are already a lot of officials gathered here. And those who arrived a little earlier. Naturally, he already knew that Ge Shouli's family was cleaning up things. And those who have just arrived. I don't know though. But in such a scene where almost everyone is talking to each other. Naturally, the speed of message delivery is more than ten times higher than before. Soon. Everyone present knew about it.

Though. Some might say. It's just that Ge Shouli's family is packing up their things. But what does that mean? It doesn't necessarily mean that Ge Shouli is going to pay tribute. But. Hardly anyone thinks so. Even if anyone thinks so. Either it's a newcomer who hasn't been in the company for a long time. Or an outsider who doesn't know anything.

As long as it is a person in the middle of the court. Know it all. Although Ge Shouli lives in such a big house. But actually. There was nothing but himself and his men. But there is no other family. Ge Shouli doesn't have a family? Of course not. Don't look at him so old. But actually. His mother. I'm still alive today. Merely. An old man who is nearly ninety years old. But I don't want to leave my hometown. It's just staying in my hometown. This is also a matter that makes Ge Shouli very regretful. After all, he has been an official in the capital for so many years. But he has not been able to support his mother. It's a pity.

In a word. Ge Shouli is at home in the capital. He lives alone. And now. Katsufu is packing. And a lot. It's definitely not like any one of them is leaving. Well beyond that. There is only one possibility. It could only be that Ge Shouli was going home.

The reason why Zhang Fan didn't get the news in advance. I'm afraid it's because this incident happened early this morning. But now. Zhang Fan didn't have the time to think about those things. He kept thinking about it. Ge Shouli's departure. But more. It's thinking about it. Once Ge Shouli left. What will the DPRK and China look like?

That day was above the morning dynasty. When Ge Shouli asked Empress Dowager Li. Zhang Fan already felt something. Although he didn't see the smile on the front of Zhang Ju standing behind him. But this kind of thing. Zhang Fan didn't have to think about it at all. He knew it in his heart. As long as Ge Shouli leaves. There is no one in the DPRK and China who is no longer qualified to oppose Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng now. I was definitely laughing in my heart. Maybe Zhang Fan himself still has some weight. But the relationship between him and Zhang Juzheng. But it can't be changed. As a protégé. For the teacher's point of view. You can object. You can also question. But let him say it in public. But it's impossible. That can simply be called "deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors". This kind of thing. Replace it with any one person. None of this can be done.

But. Then again. Zhang Fan is not lamenting anything. After all. Ge Shouli's name of "Elder of the Three Dynasties" is not called in vain. Rather, he really walked slowly from this road. The time of the Three Dynasties. Ge Shouli is indeed old now. Now Ge Shouli wants to go home. While his mother is still alive. Mother and child can also meet. It can also make up for some regrets. It's all human nature. No one can object.

Zhang Fan was just sighing. There is no Ge Shouli. This court has become Zhang Juzheng's world alone. Zhang Juzheng at that time. If you want to do whatever you want. But it's hard for anyone to stop him. Feng Bao. Today's Feng Bao doesn't bother to ask about anything at all. And the former Feng Bao. To put it mildly. is wearing the same pants as Zhang Juzheng. Count on Feng Bao to stop Zhang Juzheng. It's a joke.

Of course. There may be another expectation. expects Zhang Juzheng to be the same Zhang Juzheng as he was. It won't be because of Ge Shouli's departure. No one can control him anymore. Start doing whatever you want. The reason why Zhang Fan is full of worries now. It's because I'm worried about the day coming.

Maybe. Someone will think. Zhang Fan's worries are a little too unreasonable. This is not the case. The reason why Zhang Fan thinks so. That in itself shows that he has a great chance that this will happen. As a matter of fact. Today's Zhang Juzheng is the same as the previous one. It doesn't make much of a difference. But. And that's just the whole thing. As a matter of fact. Today's Zhang Juzheng. He has changed a lot from the past.

And this aspect. Zhang Fan looked at it more carefully. After all, because of his relationship with Zhang Juzheng. so that Zhang Fan can get closer to him. And it's this proximity. can make Zhang Fan's observation more nuanced. Today's Zhang Juzheng. Naturally, he is doing things that benefit the country and the people. But Zhang Fan always felt that something was wrong. What exactly. Today's Zhang Fan can't see it. But Zhang Fan always has a bad feeling about this.

And. A more important point. It was last year. When Gao Gong was expelled from the imperial court. When everyone went to say goodbye. Gao Gong called Zhang Fan. What I said to him alone. Gao Gong asked Zhang Fan to pay attention to Zhang Juzheng. But what exactly is it that makes him pay attention. The high arch did not say. But Zhang Fan didn't ask.

This may be because Gao Gong deliberately set up suspicions between Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng's master and apprentice because he was not convinced. Or maybe it's really as Gao Gong said. He did see something bad about Zhang Juzheng. But Zhang Fan went back and thought about it for a long time. Instead, he decided to believe the latter.

This is not Zhang Fan's speculation or bet. It's not for any other reason. It's not because his relationship with Zhang Juzheng has changed. Zhang Fan will come to this conclusion. It's actually very sensibly considered.

First of all. The one who said this to him. It is a high arch. It's a high arch, both witty and learned. is no less than Zhang Juzheng. It's even a slightly higher arch.

And secondly, it is. Gao Gong was talking to Zhang Fan when he said this. Others may not know. Perhaps. Gao Gong was expelled from the imperial court because of this. He was ousted from his throne. So I was angry and unconvinced. That's why he said such slanderous words to Zhang Fan. But Zhang Fan understood it very well in his heart. It could never be the way it was. If it is said that Gao Gong is really because of the anger in his heart. If you want to sow discord. He wouldn't have said such ambiguous words to Zhang Fan. Absolutely will make the words clear.

And. Zhang Fan could also see it at that time. Gao Gong was saying this. It's completely calm. It's not like the arrogant, arbitrary arch of the past. Instead, it reverts to the previous high arch full of wisdom. Maybe it's because of the courage that I unloaded. Let's take it easy. In a word. Zhang Fan believes. The high arch of that time. Words spoken. Definitely his heartfelt words.

Now. The matter of Ge Shouli's departure. It's right in front of you. Zhang Fan was worried about Ge Shouli after leaving. Zhang Juzheng will start to change. No. Change shouldn't come so quickly. If it's really fast. Zhang Fan was not so worried. But he was afraid of that kind of slow evolution. Change without warning. In that case. There is no problem in the early stage. But wait until you see the problem. The situation is also difficult to change.

Although now start thinking about these things. It seems that there is nothing to be done about the future. But Zhang Fan still couldn't help but think about it. By the time he wanted to talk to Ge Shouli. But he didn't see Ge Shouli.

Just when Zhang Fan was puzzled. This is when I saw Ge Shouli say slowly. Ge Shouli together. The people who were talking about it all stopped. Although now the Lord is here. But no one wanted to go up and talk to him. All of a sudden, they froze there.

But. Not all of them. Zhang Fan is not. Zhang Fan originally had something to say to Ge Shouli. Now I see him coming. Where can you take care of the question of whether other people look at it or not? also ignored Zhang Juzheng watching not far from him. Raise your legs and go to Ge Shouli's side.

At this time. The sound of drums came from the corner tower of the noon gate. The door also opened slowly. The early dynasty has begun. I heard the sound of drums coming from the towers. Zhang Fan's footsteps stopped. looked at Ge Shouli in the distance. But he didn't move again. I lined up with the people around me. Went inside.

Originally. Zhang Fan wanted to discuss this matter with Ge Shouli. If it's possible. He also hoped that Ge Shouli would be able to leave a little later. He still has a lot of things to ask Ge Shouli. But the sound of the drums came. It's not just that Zhang Fan stopped walking towards Ge Shouli. But he also stopped the original thought in his heart.

Yes. Zhang Fan didn't choose to tell Ge Shouli about it in the end. I don't want to bother Ge Shouli anymore. Or does he want Ge Shouli to leave this right and wrong field with a sense of satisfaction with the current situation in the DPRK and China? Or maybe he already has a way to deal with what might happen later. None of this is known to anyone else. And for Zhang Fan. I'm afraid even he doesn't know what he thinks in his own heart. In a word. He didn't go back to Ge Shouli.

Other words. Zhang Fan gave up the opportunity to let Ge Shouli stay. If he had spoken to Ge Shouli just now. It may also be possible to persuade Ge Shouli. Stay for a while. But once the meeting is over. Ge Shouli submitted his resignation. That Zhang Fan didn't have a chance.

Zhang Fan didn't see it. Zhang Juzheng behind him is also looking at this side all the time. When Zhang Juzheng saw Zhang Fan walking towards Ge Shouli. He was really worried in his heart. But wait until the sound of the real drum comes. And Zhang Fan also turned back to the footsteps. Zhang Juzheng laughed again.

Apparently. Zhang Juzheng also understands. Ge Shouli is about to leave. Nothing will change.
