"What do you mean. The reason why this Ruan Er is close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The purpose is to get close to your majesty by getting close to your highness. Liang Chao listened to Zhang Fan's words. I asked casually. Wang Meng on the side was still sullen and didn't say anything. However, Zhang Fan and Liang Chao, who were familiar with him, knew that he must be thinking about something.

"Not bad. That's what I thought. Zhang Fan replied affirmatively. looked at Liang Chao's gaze very firmly.

I discussed this matter with Yingyue. Zhang Fan, who came to such a conclusion, immediately called Wang Meng and Liang Chao to discuss the matter together. The two heard Zhang Fan's conclusion. Reactions vary.

Wang Meng is just as he appears on the surface. Very calm. He never blindly believes right away. Of course. And never blindly and immediately doubt. All he heard. Even if it's weird, how absurd it is. It will only come to a conclusion after some deliberation on his own.

Liang Chao is different. It's not about personal experience. Although Liang Chao's family is not a prominent family. But after all, it is their family's "tradition" to be a brocade guard. But due to Liang Chao's age. In addition, some of the arrogance left by the previous factory guards has not been completely eliminated under Zhang Fan's edification. So today's Liang Chao still retains his recklessness. Therefore. After he heard Zhang Fan's words just now. The first thing is that a lot of doubts arise in my mind. After all, this matter is related to Zhu Yijun. Liang Chao now plays under Zhang Fan. Naturally, for Zhang Fan's sake. He was the first to notice something strange about it. And tell Zhang Fan's people. Nature. He must have thought it through. As well as some of their own thoughts. Merely. Liang Chao came to the same conclusion as Zhang Fan before. Although there are some doubts. But he still felt that this matter was very coincidental from beginning to end. The coincidence is too much. But it's just a coincidence. He found no trace of any conspiracy. But when he saw Zhang Fan's unwavering eyes. He faltered. For Liang Chao. Zhang Fan has not been his official for a long time. But he was in this short period of time. developed a sense of trust in Zhang Fan. At least. Zhang Fan would never send them at will. And it's rarely untargeted. Until now. Several decisions made by Zhang Fan may have some shortcomings. But undoubtedly. He was right in all of these decisions.

Thus. Liang Chao also began to examine the current situation in his heart.

"This matter concerns His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Adults can't worry too much. Wang Meng, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. Merely. What do adults think? ”

"Let's say there's a problem. This Ruan'er approached His Highness indeed for another purpose. Zhang Fan thought about it a long time ago. Said it quickly. "Then I'm thinking about it. What is the purpose of this man's approach to His Highness? To know. Although His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the current dynasty. However, His Highness does not have any rights or places to use today. And. Even if this group of people is indeed coming for His Highness. And he plans to use His Highness to threaten the court or His Majesty to do something. It's also very difficult. First of all. Your Majesty though generous and merciful. But His Majesty is the emperor after all. The emperor has the pride of the emperor. Your Majesty, he will never bow to such a threat. Second. And the most important point. His Royal Highness's younger brother is now born. A few days ago, the four princes (Longqing and the fourth son. The first two sons mentioned above. He has died. The third son is Zhu Yijun. The fourth son is Zhu Yiyi) 100 days. His Majesty named him King Lu. And amnesty to the world. This is now known to the whole world. Although I say this now, it is somewhat disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But that's just the way it is. If this group of people tries to control His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and threatens His Majesty with something. Your Majesty will never compromise. It's not just because of the imperial dignity that His Majesty has. What's more. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer His Majesty's only heir. ”

Zhang Fan's words were left outside. That's a big disrespect. But now. The three people in this room would never say anything. In addition, there are the most elite factory guards under Zhang Fan guarding the door. Although it is the heat of the big summer, the people are sweating. But they all dutifully guarded the hut. Don't even think about flying in and eavesdropping on a fly.

"So to speak. Adult means. If this Ruan Er really has a problem. His target will not be His Highness. It's adults. Liang Chao followed Zhang Fan's words and made a summary. But he still had questions. "But what are these people? What exactly is their purpose. The most important thing is how they know the identity of His Highness. You must know that His Majesty has allowed His Highness to leave the palace. It's a matter of coming to play with adults. Not many people know about this whole Daming. Even if it's under the hands of adults. That is, the two of them know about the humble position and Wang Qianhu. Isn't it. We have something here that others can't do. Or not. The gang had been instructed to do so by someone in the court. "Liang Chao raised the biggest question.

"I don't think so." Zhang Fan shook his head. Tell me what you have analyzed. "If there really is someone behind this. I don't think they're necessarily from the DPRK. Not even from the people we know. To know. They actually asked this Ruan Er to wait for the opportunity in the theater garden where His Highness would not go to the last time. Either that, or they really can't do anything. The dead horse was used as a live horse doctor, and the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and was lucky to bump into His Highness into the theater garden; The key door is that these people don't know the identity of His Highness at all. I wouldn't have thought that the eight-year-old child I was carrying by my side would be a dignified prince. They may just notice that I care about Your Highness. I think there's an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

Wang Meng and Liang Chao listened to Zhang Fan's words. pondered again. Only this time. They are no longer considering picking on Zhang Fan's words. Instead, he thought about the assumption given by Zhang Fan. And. The more they thought about it. The more I feel that what Zhang Fan said makes sense.

"But now. There is one of the biggest problems in this matter. Zhang Fan didn't wait for the two of them to wake up from their deep thoughts before continuing. If all of this is true. What the hell do these guys want from me? It's just asking for news. Still want me to do something for them. I don't have a clue about any of this. And most importantly. Where the hell did this group come from? Who is it to me who is making such a plan? I really don't have a clue. ”

Wang Meng and Liang Chao listened. I thought about it again. And this time. The brow furrowed even tighter.

Half a day. Wang Meng was the first to speak: "According to the reasoning that the adults did before. This group of people must have nothing to do with the imperial court. And it has nothing to do with the imperial court. But it took so much effort to get close to adults. There are only two possibilities. Either he has a deep hatred with an adult, or an adult has something he wants. Or some deliberate rebellion. Other small fish and shrimp on the rivers and lakes, maybe some people do have the ability to reach the sky. But presumably they won't and don't dare to come to the adults to ask for wildfire. It's like sending you to death. ”

"Then we can think about it. Who is there who has a deep hatred with adults, or what do adults have that they are eager to want? Or is there anyone who dares to be an enemy of the imperial court now. Liang Chao took Wang Meng's words. Said.

Zhang Fan heard the two of them say this. I also thought about it. Just now. He and Yingyue had already thought about this question. It's just that the two of them didn't come up with anything useful at the time. Now Wang Meng and Liang Chao have once again raised this possibility. Zhang Fan also had to re-examine this issue.

"If there is a rebellion. Or if you have a grudge against the imperial court...... "Zhang Fan first thought of the imperial court. After all, there are several conditions. This is the biggest, the most threatening, and the most worthy of those people's efforts. "Now under His Majesty's rule. Although the Great Tomorrow has not yet recovered to the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. But most of the people were well fed and clothed. Disagreement with the imperial court. Outside there were some leaders of the Tatars and the Jurchens of Jianzhou in Liaodong. But I have now applauded me. Reopening of the mutual market. And I have now begun to deal with the nobles of the tribe who have rebelled against him. The military department and the North Town Fuji. and the news from Dongchang Feng Gonggong. I'm glad we can help him with the nobles' affairs in secret. Now those Tartar nobles are too busy to take care of themselves. I shouldn't have had the effort to make such a fuss to trouble me.

"And the Liaodong side. Nurhachi's defection to me has already indicated that the war has started on the Liaodong side. It's just that Wang Gao and other rebellious Jianzhou Jurchen leaders are now in the same form as those Tartar nobles who are being exterminated by Alta. is now exhausted by Li Chengliang. It's also too busy to take care of yourself. I don't think I'll be involved in this matter. And even if they want to. It should also be a strategy against Li Chengliang. Instead of going all the way to Fujian to set me up. After all, now the war in Liaodong has started. And Li Chengliang now has an overwhelming advantage. We don't need our help at all. In addition, this Li Chengliang is very arrogant and arrogant. Never give our factory guards a good look. I have ordered all the Jinyi spies originally stationed in Liaodong to withdraw back. Liaodong has nothing to do with us now.

"If you have any enmity with me. Basically, it's all in the DPRK. And now this matter is obviously not done by anyone in the DPRK. But I didn't have long to join. Although it has also offended a lot of people. And now sit in this position. It will definitely offend more people. But now there should be no offended anyone outside the court. Zhang Fan came out with everything he could think of. I didn't find any problems.

"Adults seem to be missing something." Wang Meng said with a frown. "Southwest. Now in the southwest, some of Wei Yinbao's subordinates are plotting against him. ”

"I've thought about that." Zhang Fan said immediately. "At the beginning of the year, they sent Yingyue over to approach me. Last month, he asked Liyang to contact Yingyue to inquire about the news. It's just that Liyang is now our man. It doesn't matter if we believe Him or not. Or do those in the southwest know that their plans have been revealed? There shouldn't be any more action. ”

"Nope. My lord misunderstood what I meant. Wang Meng said. Humble office does not refer to those who rebel in the Southwest. Rather, it refers only to one person in the southwest. Today's Five Poisons Sect Master. Fang Yueling. ”
