Chapter 609: Between Gains and Losses

"Yuande, you've arrived," Zhang Juzheng said to Zhang Fan, who came to him.

Nodding, Zhang Fan said, "Teacher, what's going on, ...... over there?"

Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything, but replied to Zhang Fan with a smile, Zhang Fan was naturally not stupid, seeing his appearance, he also understood that Ge Shouli must have agreed to Zhang Juzheng's request to help him publicize the "Examination Law" among officials, but what Zhang Fan actually wanted to ask was not just this question, although I don't know if Zhang Juzheng himself found out, but Zhang Fan had already had his own considerations, and he understood that in this matter, Ge Shouli will inevitably agree to Zhang Juzheng's request, after all, Ge Shouli is a person who always puts the overall situation first, and puts anything that can bring benefits to the court and the country first, even in the face of Zhang Juzheng, who has insulted him extremely, he will still be so.

But what Zhang Fan wants to ask is not only this he has guessed, now it is just an answer that he wants to confirm, what Zhang Fan really wants to know is actually another thing, yesterday Zhang Juzheng went to Ge Shouli to help, he was with Zhang Fan before he went, and Zhang Fan naturally will not forget that Zhang Juzheng and the reason he said at that time was to apologize to Ge Shouli.

And now, what Zhang Fan wants to ask Zhang Juzheng is actually this matter, he wants to know whether Ge Shouli has accepted Zhang Juzheng's apology, but Zhang Fan originally didn't want to ask Zhang Fan so clearly, but, obviously, Zhang Juzheng's heart only thought about the "Examination Law", but he ignored that matter, perhaps, for Zhang Juzheng, even if he went to apologize to Ge Shouli, I am afraid it is just a formality, a condition for asking for help.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's appearance, Zhang Fan's heart was disappointed again, it seems that Zhang Juzheng really didn't take the apology seriously.

However, since Zhang Juzheng can't remember, or doesn't care about this matter, Zhang Fan doesn't intend to just expose this matter, whether it is from Zhang Fan's personal curiosity or from a reasonable point of view, he wants to know what things are like.

"Teacher," after thinking about it, Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked, "What the student wants to ask is not this matter, seeing the teacher's smile like this, the student can naturally understand that the matter must be right, the student wants to ask the teacher, Master Ge and he...... Did you accept the teacher's apology?"

Hearing Zhang Fan mention this matter, Zhang Ju's expression on his face immediately froze, and Zhang Fan was very attentive to Zhang Juzheng's expression, seeing that after he heard him ask this, the expression on his face changed slightly, and he also understood, obviously, there must be trouble.

If you want to talk about trouble, in fact, it is only related to Zhang Juzheng and Ge Shouli, but in Zhang Fan's view, the feelings between the two are similar.

Let's start with Ge Shouli, Zhang Juzheng's identity can come to him in person to apologize, I am afraid that even if Ge Shouli looks at Zhang Juzheng differently, he will accept the apology to a large extent, and the feeling in his heart will be much better, but if Ge Shouli finds out that Zhang Juzheng went to apologize to him for another purpose, even if that purpose is a major event that is beneficial to the world, Ge Shouli will definitely feel a little uncomfortable.

And Zhang Juzheng is in the same situation, with his current status, he can go to Ge Shouli in person, no matter whether he does it with other purposes, but he is definitely determined to do so, however, in the end, Ge Shouli actually did not accept his apology, which is a blow or frustration to Zhang Juzheng, I am afraid it is also quite big.

Seeing Zhang Ju's positive expression, Zhang Fan already knew that Ge Shouli definitely did not accept Zhang Juzheng's apology, but because of the particularity of this matter, even if Ge Shouli did not accept it, it can be divided into two situations.

"This is natural," although Zhang Ju obviously did not show a happy appearance on his face, but the words he said did not mean that, "I have already come forward in person, and Lord Ge naturally has no reason not to accept my apology,"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng's expression, hearing him say such a thing, Zhang Fan already fully understood what he looked like at that time, it must be, after Zhang Juzheng went, when Ge Shouli learned that he was here to apologize, although he would not show how happy he was, but the mood would definitely not be bad.

Even if Ge Shouli's opinion of Zhang Juzheng is big, since Zhang Juzheng is really here to apologize, he has absolutely no reason not to accept it.

However, after Zhang Juzheng apologized, he wanted to say the original intention of going this time, and wanted Ge Shouli to help lobby among the officials in the court, so that those who remained neutral could stand up and agree with the implementation of Zhang Juzheng's "Examination Law", and even if they were against it, even if they could not be turned to agree, they could only be asked not to speak on this matter, which was enough for Zhang Juzheng.

And things are exactly as Zhang Fan thought, even if Zhang Juzheng's request for Ge Shouli is a good thing for the country and the people, but Zhang Juzheng's apology with a purpose, even if it is put on anyone, I am afraid it will not feel good.

And Ge Shouli is even more so, he was so insulted by Zhang Juzheng, although Zhang Juzheng did not come to apologize to him after that, not even the slightest remorse, but Ge Shouli is not completely incomprehensible, he also knows that it is quite difficult to want Zhang Juzheng to apologize to him in a low voice, whether it is public or private.

And yesterday, Zhang Juzheng went, and apologized to him, encountering this situation, Ge Shouli was naturally very happy in his heart, however, this happy momentum did not last even an hour, and was turned into a bad mood by Zhang Juzheng's sudden request.

However, Zhang Fan still understands a little, although it is a little shameless to do so, but with Zhang Fan's understanding of Zhang Juzheng, since he has something to ask, and it is still a thing that must be successful for him, so he will naturally use some special means, for example, in this matter, even if Zhang Fan was not present at the time, he can also think of it.

Of course, it is not necessary to be so straightforward, it is not necessary for Ge Shouli to say to Zhang Juzheng: "I accept your apology," maybe just a different word, and even he doesn't have to open his mouth, just a look, so that Zhang Juzheng understands that Ge Shouli has accepted his apology, which is enough, and then, Zhang Juzheng will open his mouth to ask Ge Shouli for help.

I have to say that Zhang Juzheng is definitely a good plan, because in their current status, it is impossible to easily go back on what they say, Ge Shouli naturally will not, but Zhang Juzheng is also impossible, and even for Zhang Fan, who knows a lot of information, he also knows that even for those who are traitors and corrupt officials, this principle is also applicable.

Just like Zhang Juzheng and Ge Shouli, Zhang Juzheng did something sorry for Ge Shouli, and now, he went to apologize to Ge Shouli, if he didn't say it, it would be fine, but since he said it, then he wouldn't take it back, even if Ge Shouli didn't accept his apology, he wouldn't take it back.

And for Ge Shouli, this principle is the same, Zhang Juzheng apologized to himself, then he was naturally happy, besides, Zhang Juzheng had already personally come to him and said the words of apology, even if Ge Shouli felt unhappy with Zhang Juzheng in his heart, he would not ignore it at all, even if he didn't want to, but since he had already said it, he would naturally agree.

However, Ge Shouli just accepted Zhang Juzheng's apology, but Zhang Juzheng immediately changed his appearance, saying that he wanted to ask him for help, this kind of thing, even if it is not Ge Shouli, even if it is a person with a better temper, I am afraid it will not be acceptable.

However, this is also where Zhang Juzheng is smart, he understands that doing so will only anger Ge Shouli even more, but now Zhang Juzheng can't care so much about his own affairs in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

And if this is the case, Ge Shouli actually has no way to refuse at all, not to mention this matter, it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, put aside a little, Zhang Juzheng was at fault with Ge Shouli before, but now, Zhang Juzheng has apologized, and you Ge Shouli has already accepted the apology, so what reason do you have to refuse, and besides, this matter is a good thing, you Ge Shouli has always been dedicated to the court, and now the contradiction between Zhang Juzheng and you can be regarded as temporarily resolved, in fact, then, Ge Shouli can't find any reason to oppose Zhang Juzheng, from a moral point of view, from a matter of fact, from a point of view, it is still not.

Moreover, Ge Shouli can't act like a scoundrel in the market, no matter what, if he doesn't help, Ge Shouli can't do it.

Therefore, in fact, Zhang Juzheng did this, and Ge Shouli had no room for opposition at all.

It's just that Zhang Fan also understands that Zhang Juzheng has not only failed to resolve the conflict between the two so far, but even deepened it.

Between gains and losses, I'm afraid that even Zhang Juzheng himself may not be able to figure it out.
