Chapter 714: Wang Meng Returns

In a word. This "private matter" is finally over. The reason why Zhang Fan is in such a place is very busy. But only occasionally do I have some free time to deal with this matter. The reason is that he knows what's next. That's pretty important. He is absolutely not allowed to have any meaningful delay and trance on it. He had to be preoccupied with that. You must not let anything distract you. Zhang Fan just didn't want that to happen. will choose such an opportunity to solve this matter.

But. Anyway. This matter has finally been resolved. And. The nature of this is not a bad thing. Zhang Fan will have any psychological burden or worry because of this incident. He still has a lot of things on his body now. But it didn't make him any more burdensome. Instead, it made him let go of a big stone in his heart. And it can be full of joy. All in all. Today's Zhang Fan is very relaxed. Of course. This is only temporary.

But. This kind of temporary. It is extremely limited, indeed. Zhang Fan is not a person who has wine today and gets drunk today. He may be infected by something in front of him. And what mood swings will there be in the moment. But that lasted very short. It won't be long before he gets back to his previous condition. It's not that Zhang Fan is not open-minded enough. There are so many things he has to think about right now. And the reality of the situation does not allow him to do that.

That's actually the case. Zhang Fan was thinking about tomorrow that night. What the hell will happen. What the hell is going to happen. How is Liang Chao going on there? They were able to reach Shanxi safely. Find Zhang Siwei. Do you do everything that needs to be done? Although Zhang Fan believes in Liang Chao. But Liang Chao is now just taking Hong'er, a powerless woman, on the road together. Although the cover he made for the two of them before was very good. But just in case. In case Feng Bao noticed something. Sent out the East Factory...... No. Feng Bao if he was aware of it. He would never send Dongchang on such an open face. It's easy to leave someone with a handle to track it down. It must be those people he has cultivated privately to intercept Liang Chao and them.

In this way. Liang Chao and Hong'er are in danger. Zhang Fan was worried that the two of them would be worried about their lives. What worries me even more is that Liang Chao will not be able to complete the task. It's not that Zhang Fan doesn't care about Liang Chao's life. From before. Zhang Fan asked Liang Chao to make so many preparations before he went on the road. Including thinking of such a solid excuse for him to leave Beijing. and taking his mother to live in his home, and so on. It's all illustrated. Zhang Fan cares very much about the comfort of his subordinates.

But. It's just too important. is much more important than Liang Chao's life. If things really follow Feng Bao's wishes. Then I don't know how many people in the court will be implicated because of this. Although this matter now seems on the surface. It's just that Zhang Siwei is involved. However, Zhang Fan's time in the official career is not short. He had long understood that everything had to be done at the surface. The bottomless abyss of the imperial court will long ago swallow life alive, and you can't even see a single hair. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness. But it's also an experience.

Once Zhang Siwei's matter made Feng Bao get his wish. Zhang Siwei's accident is one thing. Although Zhang Fan would regret that the imperial court had lost a good official who could be so unafraid of Feng Bao's power and speak out. But they are also more worried about the impact of this incident.

First one. People who have a relationship with Zhang Siwei will start to be unlucky. And among these people. The person Zhang Fan values the most is the current governor of Shanxi, Wang Chonggu. This is not just because Wang Chonggu and Zhang Fan had a relationship. It's even more because Zhang Fan knows. Wang Chonggu's ability.

Wang Chonggu has been stationed in the frontier for decades. During this period, I don't know how many times the plan to let the Tartars invade the south be aborted. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as indispensable. Now, although the Ming court has negotiated peace with me. The two sides reopened the mutual market. And. The eastern coastal strip. Now because of the Ming Dynasty, the sea ban has been reopened. The military power at sea also grew stronger and stronger under Zhang Fan's proposal. Therefore, the imperial court dropped the most elite Qi family army in the Ming Dynasty and went to the north to garrison.

But. One comes. Although the Qi family army is brave. However, the number of troops is limited. The actual number of people is not much. Today, there are only 20,000 people. And. Today's Qi family army is mainly stationed north of the capital. The one who is in the position is just Gongwei Jingshi.

Second. The so-called non-self race. His heart will be different. This. Even Zhang Fan, who came from later generations, agreed with it to the extreme. Who knows when the contract will be torn up over there. Do it all over again.

Maybe. That was decades later. At that time, Wang Chonggu was no longer there. That's not a pity. But it is also possible in the past few years. Things change. If that's the case. The northwest is now defended by incapable men. Even if the court wants to use it at that time. However, it is also possible that because of Feng Bao's various concerns, Wang Chonggu will not be allowed to lead the troops again. This period is awesome. Zhang Fan was very worried.

And except for those who are very close to Zhang Siwei. And this kind of thing that is very likely to allow foreign enemies to take advantage of the loophole. Zhang Fan was more worried about the internal affairs of the Ming court. After all. Compared to foreign enemies. Civil strife is more likely to hasten division. This kind of thing. Everyone understands. Zhang Fan can't control the habit of Chinese people who like infighting. Even now he is. Although there is no explicitly hostile relationship with anyone. But he doesn't reject this kind of thing either. But. He was even more worried. Large-scale internal struggles. It will make the imperial court split very quickly.

If Zhang Siwei's things are together. Now that the imperial court has just regained stability, it doesn't know what kind of chaos will become. Many people who have just settled down. After seeing Feng Bao get Zhang Siwei down. And how many of them will still be calm. It must be felt. Feng Bao still refused to give up. Of course. Feng Bao never gave up. It's just that it's silent now.

And the scariest thing is not the trouble in front of you. Instead, he was thinking about the troubles that were about to happen. Zhang Siwei's things together. Many people will inevitably feel that Feng Bao is about to start doing something again. And until then. I'm afraid Feng Bao hasn't said what to do. Many people panicked themselves.

In a panic. What kind of trouble will it cause? Zhang Fan really didn't know. Don't want to know either. And. That's exactly what he's trying to avoid now.

That night. Zhang Fan basically didn't sleep much. He had been thinking about it. Wait until the next day when it's time for him to get up. Although the body is very tired. But the mind is awake and chaotic. I didn't feel sleepy at all.

After going out the door. Zhang Fan met someone who surprised him a little. Wang Meng.

"Your Excellency." Wang Meng saw Zhang Fan come out. Come forward and salute.

"When did you come back? And they didn't notify me. Zhang Fan was also very happy to see him. Asked with a smile.

"Back to my lord. The lowly position has just arrived. I heard that Liang Chao was going to see his father-in-law. The lowly came to protect the lord. "Rare. It seems that Wang Meng is in a good mood. also made a joke with Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan originally wanted to talk about it. However, after he saw the look in Wang Meng's eyes. But I understand. Wang Meng must have understood something.

Ride on a horse. Keep others a little farther away. Zhang Fan said to Wang Meng, who was next to him: "You know everything. ”

"Back to my lord." Wang Meng said. "I don't know what's going on. But just now I heard the brothers in Weizhong talk about it. There is a plan in the heart of the lowly job. I am so humble that I am not sure if there is a friend in the place where the adult is born. And a daughter. But I'm sure of it. There must be some reason for this.

Liang Chao and the woman were in love. This kind of thing can't be managed. However, I heard that yesterday was the first day that Liang Chao officially explained the relationship between the two to outsiders. But the adults suddenly decided to let them go out quickly. I guess there must be some kind of story. ”

"You're right." Zhang Fan nodded. Said. "Do you know what's happened in the capital recently?"

Wang Meng nodded. Show that you understand. And immediately after. Zhang Fan told Wang Meng all the truth behind what happened in the capital.

After listening to Zhang Fan's words. Even Wang Meng, who is very calm on weekdays, was a little surprised: "My lord." I didn't expect Feng Bao to be so difficult. Now that's the case. He can be described as calling for wind and rain in the court. Even if there are a few people who don't listen to him. But there was nothing there was to stop him. But he wasn't enough. You have to fall into the ground. ”

"Ugh." Zhang Fan sighed. Said. "That's what people think. Not to mention that Feng Baode's current status is a lot of tricks. I got a lot of mystery. Even if he really climbed to this position on his own. I'm afraid these things will be done now. ”

"I'm sorry for my humble position. Something so big happened. lowly but not by the side of adults. Liang Chao said.

"Don't say that. No one can foresee such a thing. How could I blame you so much? Zhang Fan said. Now. We can't do anything. Liang Chao's side, I don't know where he is now. Can't help him. In case the horse's feet are exposed. It's even harder. Everything is on his own. ”

"Your Excellency. What are we going to do now? Wang Meng asked.

"Now I'm worried. But nothing can be done. Zhang Fan said. However, there was no discouragement on his face. "That's right. Tell me what happened to you on this outing. ”

Zhang Fan just asked casually. But I didn't expect it. It's a bit of a problem.
