Chapter 722: Playing on the spot

Feng Bao's idea is very good and very clear, that is, to drag Zhang Fan, let him stay in the palace, and not let him inform his subordinates of what to arrange, this method is not bad, although it is almost time now, and it will be more than an hour by noon, but now, it always gives people a feeling that every second counts, and if Zhang Fan doesn't care about this hour, he won't want to come to Feng Bao, then Feng Bao's doing it will become meaningless.

If Zhang Fan is dragged in the palace, obviously, Zhang Fan will not be able to notify anyone, the palace is full of Feng Bao's eyeliner, and even the Jinyi Guard, who may be on duty in the palace, has already been bought by Feng Bao, in short, after Zhang Fan entered the palace, before he came out, he didn't want to spread any news.

Obviously, Feng Bao couldn't do anything meaningless, although Zhang Fan hadn't figured out what Feng Bao's idea was, but since the other party had made a move, he had to take it and resolve it.

The early dynasty is coming to an end, and now there is less and less time left for Zhang Fan, and whether Zhang Fan can come up with a good way is still unknown, and Zhang Juzheng, who is standing next to Zhang Fan, although he does not have any expression on his face, but it is just what he makes, and he just doesn't let Feng Bao know.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng's heart is probably more anxious than Zhang Fan, after all, Zhang Fan has worked hard for this matter, but what he is doing is not his own business, in the final analysis, it is just for the stability of the court, so it sounds great, but in fact, if this matter cannot be successful, Zhang Fan will not be damaged in the slightest.

But Zhang Juzheng is different, now when the "Examination Method" is being tested, even if no one says anything, but he also understands that many people don't want to see him succeed, no, you can't say that, it's not that you don't want him to succeed, but you don't want him to do it at all.

Now many people don't say it, the most important thing is that this matter is the three most powerful people in the court today, Zhang Fan, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao all publicly agreed, and the combined strength of the three of them has been able to shut up more than ninety percent of the people in the court, not to mention that it is not only the three of them who agree with this matter, but also the Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun doesn't have any rights now, and he doesn't know too well what the benefits of doing this will be, maybe Zhu Yijun's approval is just because of Zhang Fan, but he is also an emperor, even if it is not said by a powerful emperor, it is still somewhat useful.

Even today's Zhu Yijun can have such a big impact, not to mention the Empress Dowager Li, who is holding all the power today, in fact, at the beginning, this matter didn't need to spend so much effort, Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng had to ask Ge Shouli again, relying on his influence in the court, to let those ministers in the court not object to this matter, they actually only needed to talk to the Empress Dowager Li and let her agree.

This is not a hypothesis, in fact, about the Empress Dowager Li, she still has some temper, although she is now in charge alone, and she is not abusive, but she has one point, which many people do not know, Zhang Fan also found out through Zhang Juzheng's mention.

That is, generally the Empress Dowager Li will agree to one thing, and that is definitely because the person who told her about this matter was prepared, the rules and regulations were very detailed, and many things were taken into account, and the facts were spoken, so that the Empress Dowager Li realized the correctness of that method little by little.

However, as long as Empress Dowager Li agrees, it is not simply a matter of agreeing to this matter, she even agrees with that person.

In this way, if anyone objects in the future, if they want the Empress Dowager Li to retract their plans, they must be so careful and take all aspects into account, so that they can slowly explain the Empress Dowager Li.

However, in the imperial court, this situation is very rare, and the general situation is that many people are dissatisfied with the matter, or the person who proposed the matter, and this is the one who will stand up against it.

However, when these people object, if it is just the right thing, it is better, although it is said that this situation will occur, it is generally to catch the other party off guard, and for a while I can't think of a way to only say two words of opposition, maybe it will have no effect, but in this way, the Empress Dowager Li will not feel anything, after all, there are too many things that disagree with political opinions, and secondly, it is not excluded that some people will have an instant flash of inspiration in their minds in such a short period of time, and they may come up with some good reasons to refute it.

But if it's just for people, wait until things come out, and instead of looking for trouble about things, you just say bad things about that person out loud, and that's going to be troublesome.

Speaking of it now, it may feel incredible, but there are many things in the government that can make people become excited in an instant, not to mention those who have just entered the official career for a long time, or who have not yet cultivated their minds, even the kind of people who have already mastered it and can do it without changing their faces and hearts for most emergencies do not dare to pack tickets, and nothing can affect their own emotions.

All in all, under impulse, the attack on people is naturally instinctive, and the best way can be imagined.

However, many people don't know the temper of the Empress Dowager Li, she can indeed be regarded as the best empress dowager in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but no matter what, she is also a temperamental person, perhaps it is the kind of insistent character that makes her temper become stubborn, she hates the kind of thing that attacks each other the most in her life, which also has something to do with the fact that she was a concubine back then, and this kind of thing has never been encountered.

Once someone dares to do this, it will definitely be strongly disgusted by Empress Dowager Li.

Therefore, this matter is not so troublesome at all, as long as Zhang Juzheng can make sense of Empress Dowager Li, the trial of the "Examination Method" will definitely be completed.

But Zhang Juzheng still chose to do so, what he wanted was not just to make the "Examination Law" run as simple, he also had to consider the problems in the imperial court, so that people could accept the "Examination Law".

If it was just relying on the words of the Empress Dowager Li, maybe on the surface, no one dared to object, and they all acted in accordance with his regulations, but the more this was the case, the more unconvinced the officials below were, but at that time, with the Empress Dowager Li pressing on above, it was impossible for them to say anything openly, so they could only hold it in their hearts.

Some things can be held back for a while, but they can't hold it for a long time, so if they hold it all the time, they will definitely find an outlet in the future, and what Zhang Juzheng can foresee is that these people will add a lot of small actions in the process of implementing the "Examination Law".

This may not affect the general direction of Zhang Juzheng's entire action, but then it will definitely be a small trouble, and a small trouble, not a big mess, will greatly hinder the progress of things, if you take care of it, it must be a laborious thing, but if you don't care, it is enough to make you extremely annoyed, and you can't achieve the expected goal.

And now it's different, at least, when those who feel that this is not good and hinders their careers, when they want to do something, they will think, when the court was implementing it, although they also disagreed, but in the end, there was still nothing to stop, and they didn't even have the heart to stop it.

Don't underestimate this subtle psychological change, which can make a big difference in things.

Back to the topic, now, in short, Zhang Juzheng also wants to help Zhang Fan from what point of view, but he didn't know what Zhang Fan's plans were in this matter before, and now, he can only watch Zhang Fan do it in a hurry, but he can't do anything, and he has to pretend to be like nothing on his face to confuse Feng Bao.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng was even more nervous than Zhang Fan.

Finally.

"Since it's okay, let's retreat," Zhu Yijun saw that no one had spoken for a long time, so he stood up and walked away by himself.

And the little eunuch on the side hurriedly shouted to retreat, which also made Zhang Juzheng feel excited.

The ministers began to slowly retreat, but Zhang Fan stood still, not moving, with his head down, obviously, he was still thinking of a solution.

And Zhang Juzheng, who was standing beside Zhang Fan, was getting more and more anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, looking at Zhang Fan for a while, and Feng Bao for a while.

"Master Taifu, Lord Taifu,"

While Zhang Fan was pondering, Feng Bao's voice came from above, which not only made Zhang Juzheng stop his anxious movements, but also made Zhang Fan raise his head.

"Father-in-law, when will you call me," Zhang Fan looked at Feng Bao with a calm face that had nothing to do, and his voice was also undulating, and asked flatly.

"I have already retired from the court, didn't I say just now that the recent banquet will be presided over by Taifu," Feng Bao also smiled, looked at Zhang Fan, and said, "In that case, don't let Your Majesty wait," Obviously, Feng Bao was urging Zhang Fan, but as for whether he was urging Zhang Fan for Zhu Yijun or just for himself, I'm afraid only he knows.

"I naturally understand this," Zhang Fan also replied with a smile, "It's just that I have only watched the sutra banquet a few times before, but today is a small sutra feast, but I have never seen it, the matter of the sutra feast, you need to be cautious, I am going to ask Lord Zhang, but what needs to be paid attention to,"

When Zhang Juzheng heard Zhang Fan say this, his heart suddenly settled down, Zhang Fan would say this Obviously, he had already thought of a way, but it was also obvious that this method needed his Zhang Juzheng's help.
