Chapter 629: Multiple Considerations
It should be said that Liang Chao's words to Zhang Fan really told the truth, but in fact, Liang Chao's words still did not answer the question that Zhang Fan wanted to ask, but in this matter, even if Zhang Fan tried his best to speak, it was difficult to express to Liang Chao what he wanted to ask, after all, some things could not be easily explained, and secondly, Zhang Fan did not want to be too clear about Liang Chao.
So after Liang Chao's first mistake and answer the question, although Zhang Fan recounted it again in detail, the real meaning was actually not too clear, so the words that Liang Chao answered for the second time, although it did touch Zhang Fan a lot, but in fact, it was still wrong.
But it doesn't matter, Zhang Fan has already figured out how things should be done from Liang Chao's words to him, although Liang Chao's answer is wrong, but this does not prevent Zhang Fan from taking the initiative to match it with what he wants, many things in this world, even if it are two things that are completely unrelated, there will always be more or less related, as long as you think about the question in a different direction, you can find that the way is actually already there.
All in all, what Liang Chao told Zhang Fan is that although the orders issued by the imperial court or the orders issued by the officials are extremely important and must be completed, they are not certain, if there are more or less variables, it is not unallowed, as long as you can finally complete your order, then it is okay, even if it is extraneous, in the end it is just two sentences of reprimand, no big deal.
And if it is the emperor's order, the situation is different, the emperor's order is difficult to violate, or even inviolable, under the emperor's order, things must be perfect, but, in the same way, in order to be perfect, if it is not enough to just act in accordance with the regulations, after all, emergencies can not be foreseen, if there is really an unexpected situation, then it is necessary to improvise, or even temporarily change the original strategy, but in general, its purpose is to complete the emperor's order, then one, Even if there are some small changes on the way, it is allowed, even if the emperor will be unhappy at that time, it will be a matter for the future, if even if things are not done well, it will be even more dangerous.
It seems that this has nothing to do with what Zhang Fan is worried about now, but in fact, the two are also figured out.
Zhang Juzheng now wants to try to see if this "Examination Method" is good or not, and he wants to add it to this water control incident and try it.
And Zhang Juzheng, who wants to do this, is faced with a problem, that is, this is contrary to the previous laws of the imperial court, and the laws are actually no different from the imperial decrees or imperial decrees, which are difficult to change, and they must be implemented.
Even if Zhang Juzheng is now the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, and he actually has the final say on things like the court, but the law is not under his control, even he must abide by it and cannot resist.
In this way, things are similar to what Liang Chao just said, since it is to complete the imperial mandate or the imperial mandate, even if it is a slight change on the way to act, but from another point of view, in the same way, as long as it can be completed, even if it is added to some personal thoughts on the way to act, it is not impossible.
In other words, Zhang Juzheng's idea is feasible, of course, how to operate it when the time comes, that is Zhang Juzheng's matter, Zhang Fan is just thinking about it now, to see if there is anything that can help, even if Zhang Juzheng doesn't want him to get involved in this matter, but Zhang Fan still wants to help a little.
Now, the most important problem that Zhang Juzheng has to face is that although his idea is feasible, as soon as he puts it forward, the ministers of the DPRK and China will inevitably rise up and oppose it.
At that time, even if Zhang Juzheng can resist public opinion, it will take a lot of effort, and even Zhang Juzheng can't withstand the opposition of the officials of the entire court, and is forced to give up this idea.
However, there is another possibility that Zhang Juzheng will not tell this matter, maybe he will mention it to Empress Dowager Li or Zhu Yijun, but if they don't give an order to explain, even Zhang Juzheng is very likely to not say anything, and it may be possible to directly order someone to manipulate this matter in secret.
Of course, this is naturally a way, and compared to the previous one, it can also make things go smoothly, after all, as long as the secrecy work in the early stage is done well, then the ministers below will not know about this matter at all, since they don't know, then where does the opposition come from.
However, Zhang Fan knew in his heart that the possibility of Zhang Juzheng doing this was quite small, and even Zhang Fan could guess that Zhang Juzheng himself had not thought of this method, but he would never do it unless he had to.
After all, no matter how secret things are, there will always be the possibility of leakage in the future, and if it leaks out and lets the ministers of the court know, it will really be a big deal.
Moreover, even if the whole process of doing things is quite secretive, no one knows until the end of the matter, but when it is over, the matter must be brought out and talked about, and when that time comes, the matter will naturally be revealed to the world.
In that way, the ministers will not only stand up against Zhang Juzheng, but more well-founded, this big hat of modifying the laws of the court without authorization and using private laws without authorization will be buckled on Zhang Juzheng's head, and this big hat, but no matter how powerful you are, how high you are, it is absolutely difficult to bear, and if you don't get it, you have to put yourself in, it is definitely not a cost-effective deal.
The most important thing is that Zhang Juzheng has no way to do that at all, three account books, recording the plans of the officials, as well as the withdrawal of money, although two of them are copied by others, but there is one book, which must be signed by the official on the spot, or if someone else is found to make a record, then it will not be possible to count it with real evidence, and Zhang Juzheng's experiment has become a big joke.
After all, although the chief official of the water control is Pan Jitao, maybe Zhang Juzheng can talk to Pan Jitao in private about this matter and let him cooperate, but the people who control the water are not only Pan Jitao, other officials also want to participate in it.
If one person feels that something is wrong with the procedure and says it, the matter will be completely exposed.
Exposing the matter halfway is even more dangerous, not to mention that Zhang Juzheng will be blamed by the Manchu Dynasty for this, and it is more likely to make the action of controlling the water chaotic, after all, as long as the court is in turmoil, the people who are doing things below feel that it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.
If things really develop to that point, Zhang Fan really doesn't know what the chaos will be.
Therefore, if Zhang Juzheng wants to accomplish this matter, he must say the matter in front of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government, and then calm down those opposing voices, at least to the point that even if some people are not convinced, they will not say anything more.
Only by justifying the name can this matter not cause so many accidents and tribulations in the future, and no one will be implicated because of it.
Thinking about this, Zhang Fan was thinking about how to help Zhang Juzheng.
As soon as the matter is announced, there will be people who will stand up and oppose it, although Zhang Juzheng can stand up and speak, but after all, he is only one person, even if the official position is big, it is difficult to fight the opposition of so many people alone.
In other words, someone must help at that time, but who can stand up and speak for Zhang Juzheng at that time?
Zhang Fan himself, although it is feasible, but after all, what kind of cooperation he and Zhang Juzheng have in this matter, so he can't give people an objective feeling when he stands up, and if he is not objective, he can't make people agree with his words.
Now those people who are standing in Zhang Juzheng's camp are even more inappropriate, after all, everyone in the DPRK and China knows that these people are on Zhang Juzheng's side, so as soon as these people stand up and speak, they will naturally help Zhang Juzheng, and they are even more unobjective, so these people can't do it.
Then there must be a neutral person who can look at this matter objectively, and who agrees with Zhang Juzheng a little bit in his heart, and who is also authoritative when speaking in the court, to be able to play such a role.
However, it is really rare to find one that combines so many conditions.
And Zhang Fan thought about it, and after a long time, he only thought of one person, and it seems that there is only that one person now, yes, it is still Ge Shouli, and only Ge Shouli has these conditions.
And the most important thing is that don't look at the candidate only Ge Shouli, but as long as Ge Shouli is willing to stand up and speak, his role is more effective than the other two or three, or even a group of people.
However, how to convince Ge Shouli, Zhang Fan frowned, Zhang Juzheng said that he would pass it once, but he played a lot of tricks, if he let him go again this time, Ge Shouli would definitely not be fooled again.
After thinking about it, Zhang Fan felt that this matter was only possible if he went in person.
