Chapter 395: A Thousand Miles
The grass and trees know that spring will return soon, and all kinds of red and purple will be fragrant.
In late spring, it always makes people feel a little sad, but more often than not, the best time of the year is about to pass, and the days to come as soon as possible are looking forward to the future.
At this time, it can really be said that the mountains are full of thousands of purples and thousands of reds, it seems that they are competing for the crown of the last time of spring, this season is also the season that people like to travel the most, perhaps want to take advantage of the last time of this spring is about to pass, this beautiful scene is deeply reflected in their hearts, and accompany themselves through the coming summer time, but in the end, these are just people's momentary feelings, and when it comes to summer, they will be attracted by the scene of the hundred rings blooming, and this nostalgia has long been not known to be thrown away.
During this time, Zhang Fan took his family out more and more frequently, which seemed to others to be just a normal lazy behavior, after all, for the capital located in the north, it is certainly not an exaggeration to go out to play in summer, besides, Zhang Fan also has such a qualification to be lazy.
But such a frequent outing, some people are unwilling, Zhang Fan's son and daughter, these two children who are not yet old, seem to be a little tired of this, every time they go out with them, the brother and sister have a tacit understanding and cry in unison, this cry doesn't matter, but Zhao is distressed.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if you have a grandson, you forget your son, this sentence is not an exaggeration to use it on Zhao's body, since she has this pair of grandchildren, Zhao's attitude towards Zhang Fan, even if it can't be said to have taken a sharp turn, it is enough, she naturally won't blame Ru Xue, the daughter-in-law, after all, this pair of grandchildren can be regarded as her credit, for Ru Xue, in Zhao's eyes, it is not wrong to use the word "hard work" to describe it.
So, for the doting of children and grandchildren, the muzzle of the cannon naturally turned to Zhang Fan, as long as Zhang Fan was by his side, the little ancestor cried, then Zhang Fan would definitely inevitably be scolded, at first Zhang Fan was still unhappy, after all, this has nothing to do with him, but since the Zhao family, the highest status of the Zhang family, spoke, and Zhang Fan is also very filial, so, gradually, the injustice has become helpless, until now, as long as Zhao's eyes glared, and he didn't start to speak, Zhang Fan immediately stepped forward to admit his mistake, wanting to avoid harming himself.
However, the Zhao family has not yet reached the point of being confused, although no matter how much she says that Zhang Fan is not, she still loves and understands her son in her heart, she naturally understands that at this time, even if he is a mother, he still has to find a chance to go out for, as long as he listens to the knock on the door that he keeps thinking of as soon as the afternoon passes at home, he understands everything.
Since the children are reluctant to go out, the Zhao family naturally left them to accompany him and make himself happy, Zhang Fan saw that his mother took the initiative to do so, and he didn't say anything, there were two less people in the way, Zhang Fan was just able to get together with Ru Xue and the girls, after all, he was too busy some time ago, even if he went out to play, he couldn't let go of business, and people often came to him, and now, things have gradually calmed down, and Zhang Fan can naturally spare a lot of free time.
Moreover, recently, there have been fewer people who have come to Zhang Fan's house to inquire about the situation, and Longqing is recuperating in the harem, although so far, except for Zhang Fan alone, Longqing has not taken the initiative to summon any minister, so the officials of the court do not know what the situation is in the palace, the only thing that is certain is that even if Longqing is extremely weak at this time, it is not bad, because whether it is the news from Zhang Fan, or the money spent to bribe the eunuchs in the harem, everyone gets the same answer, that is, the emperor's body has begun to recover.
The only thing that made Feng Bao very unhappy was that he inquired that before Emperor Longqing's illness, Feng Bao, who he hated the most, went to join in the fun every day, saying some good things, caring and caring, and patting the horse's ass, but in this regard, Gao Gong was helpless, Feng Bao was a eunuch, and he was the palm seal eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, when he was the head of the eunuchs today, his status was extremely high, and the same was true in the palace, as the emperor's assistant, it was normal for him to go to the emperor's side.
Gao Gong's only worry was that he was afraid that Feng Bao would take the initiative to trap him during the last period of Longqing, which would be unfavorable to him in the future.
Why do you want to say that in the last few days, the news from the palace doesn't mean that Longqing has recovered well during this time, in fact, it is not, except for a few specific people, the officials in the court know about this matter, only Zhang Fan, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi are three, and Zhang Fan can only be regarded as half a courtier, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi are extremely strict, even if they know, they will never say it, therefore, the people who know that Longqing is not good now add up to a total of less, The only one who made the best breakthrough, Wang Youcai, had already been frightened, and he didn't dare to reveal anything at all, and he was about to go crazy.
But Gao Gong still has this premonition, to him a premonition is one thing, a very secret thing, this thing is from the foothills of Tianshou Mountain, which is more than 100 miles away from the capital, that is, the so-called Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan, that is, when Longqing ascended the throne, began to build the imperial mausoleum at the eastern foot of Daling Mountain, although he began to build the mausoleum when he was still alive, it sounds a little too unlucky, but how many generations of emperors have come like this, Why should he, Zhu Zaiyuan, a greedy and lustful person, have to make an exception, but even if the construction has started early, the speed is indeed quite slow, after all, the emperor is living a pampered life, how can he die so easily.
But now, Gao Gong doesn't know where to hear the news, it is said that now, for Longqing, the lord to live in peace after the immortal, is now speeding up the speed of construction, in fact, this is a very common thing, not only Longqing, no matter which emperor is sick, this is a must, after all, this life and death have a fate, if someone is responsible for the construction of the imperial mausoleum, feel that the emperor is sick but there is no hindrance, can not die at all, so he slacked off, and when the emperor is really dead, it will be over, it is really going to be sacrificed alive.
But this news seems to Gao Gong, it is a little unusual, although more than once, Gao Gong always secretly said to himself in his heart, this is just a normal thing, but he always can't completely let go of this matter in his heart, even during the day, because he has to compete with Zhang Juzheng in the cabinet, because he is too busy and temporarily forgets about this matter; But every night, after dragging his already old body and lying on the bed under the service of others, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and he remembered this incident again in his heart.
It's really amazing to say, but what's even more amazing is that this time, Gao Gong didn't pay much attention to it, he attributed everything to the worry in his heart that he was too worried, and it didn't happen, Gao Gong didn't take any precautions according to the warning that his intuition brought him.
As the saying goes, "if you make a mistake, you will lose all the games", but if the chess player does not go to the end, he cannot see that he has made a move that will undoubtedly defeat.
Back to Zhang Fan's side, he can be regarded as idle during this time, of course, except for that one thing, which makes Zhang Fan still worry now.
Yes, it was precisely because of that incident that Zhang Fan went out to avoid those who came to him endlessly to ask him about the situation in the palace, and this time, in addition to that reason, Zhang Fan also led the snake out of the hole for one thing.
A few days ago, after Zhang Fan asked Li Yang about many things, he asked him to join the monitoring operation.
It's not because he has a prejudice against Liyang, on the contrary, Zhang Fan still believes in Liyang's words and his analysis, in his opinion, the woman who came to find Yingyue is the jade in Liyang's mouth, but before he can be 100% sure, things are not easy to conclude, although I think about it, whether the woman is a jade or not, the situation is similar, but Zhang Fan would rather patiently grasp the complete evidence before making plans, after all, there are some things, the slightest mistake, a thousand miles wrong.
Nowadays, Zhang Fan, who travels every day, will always be followed by a group of people who hide their whereabouts, and Li Yang is also in it, in order to lure the woman to appear again, so that Li Yang can find out her identity, of course, if Li Yang can see through the way that she can always disappear for no reason every time, so that she can follow the vine and find this woman, it would be better.
And among these people related to this matter, the only one who is in a key position, but who has no knowledge of all this, is Yingyue.
Zhang Fan also planned that as long as this woman appeared, he couldn't help but say that he would go up and arrest people, the other party didn't know martial arts, and it was easy to catch such a weak woman as her, but Zhang Fan didn't do it, and in the past half a year, I don't know why, he just didn't do it, but now, after listening to Li Yang's words, he can't do it anymore, first, if this woman is not that Yu'er, or even not a person from the Five Poisons Sect at all, it will be useless to catch her, and it will startle the snake; Second, according to the words after the last time Li Yang talked to Zhang Fan again, Yu'er's woman looks very weak, but in fact she is very fierce, especially for Fang Yueling, which is with her loyal ministers, although it has never happened, but Li Yang still said to Zhang Fan that even if Yu'er is tortured by the brocade guard, she may not be able to speak, and in the end, she may be killed, and even more Fang Yueling's anger will be more than worth the loss.
And in the past few days, the woman who will appear in front of Yingyue every three or five days, it has been almost half a month, but there is no trace.
Until today, Zhang Fan felt that things were already yellow, but she actually came again.
After getting this news, I couldn't help but lift the spirits of Zhang Fan, who had been lacking in interest for the past few days.
