"You mean. It was Scholar Zhang who recommended me to the cabinet. Zhang Siwei looked at Zhang Fan with a look of disbelief. After asking these words. He muttered to himself. "This ...... How is this possible. ”

For Zhang Siwei's reaction. Zhang Fan is naturally very understanding. After all. The relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao is there. There is no one in the whole court who does not know, and who does not know. And Zhang Juzheng, who is in the same camp as Feng Bao. His style of doing things is not yet too obvious. However, the ministers of the court had already seen the signs that he was thinking about Feng Bao everywhere.

And obviously. Now this is Zhang Juzheng, who is the only one who is the first to look forward to Feng Baobao. will actually recommend Zhang Siwei to the cabinet. Not to mention Zhang Siwei himself. I'm afraid that I can't figure it out if I change anyone.

No. It can't be said that no one can't figure it out. In fact, Zhang Fan just thought of this. And he figured it out. And. For Zhang Fan. This is not something out of the ordinary. As long as you can figure it out. Then there is an explanation for this matter that can convince anyone.

"Lord Zhang. Let's not talk about that. Zhang Fan said with a smile. It's noon, too. Zhang Fan is also going home. It's not as good as Lord Zhang. Let's go first. ”

seemed to be shocked by Zhang Fan's words. Zhang Siwei didn't say anything. followed Zhang Fan and walked towards the palace gate.

While walking. Zhang Fan said to Zhang Siwei. "Let's not talk about the teacher's recommendation of Mr. Zhang into the cabinet. Zhang Fan has a question to ask you, Lord Zhang. I also hope that Mr. Zhang can tell the truth. ”

"I don't know what Master Zhang wants to ask. As long as Ziwei knows. Not those things that are inconvenient to say. What's the harm in telling Master Zhang truthfully. Zhang Siwei said. It's not because Zhang Siwei is too tactful. But that's the way it is. Some things are just inconvenient. Zhang Siwei just didn't want to have any misunderstanding.

"Master Zhang doesn't need to care. Zhang Fan didn't want to ask Master Zhang about any personal matters. Zhang Fan naturally didn't care about this. After all, in the DPRK. Whoever answers this question requires careful consideration. And the most important thing. It is to avoid clichés and embarrassment. Zhang Fan's question is simple. I just want to ask Master Zhang. What exactly do you think of the teacher? ”

"You said Scholar Zhang." Listen to Zhang Fan's question. Zhang Siwei thought about it. Said. "Zhang University entered the office earlier than Ziwei. He has also experienced a lot more things in the court than his son Wei. If you say a few days ago. The 'great grievance' that Ziwei suffered. I'm afraid it seems to Scholar Zhang. It's child's play.

"Still. Today's Scholar Zhang...... It's not that Ziwei is biased. Merely. Today's scholar Zhang is acting with Feng Bao. It's really not a good thing. Of course. If Feng Bao's future actions are limited to this. Ziwei didn't have much to say about it. Not to mention today's Scholar Zhang. Even if it's Feng Bao. Ziwei didn't hate him either. On the contrary, I admired him a little. After all. The cabinet battle of the imperial court has been going on for so many years. Generations have gone through this. But it ended with Feng Bao. I have to say. Feng Bao has made a huge contribution to this matter.

"And. After Feng Bao gained power. is not as good as Wang Zhen and Liu Jin. Aggressive as far as it goes. And just fracture yourself. Regardless of the big picture. And this time. What Feng Bao did. It is also obvious to all that people in the DPRK and China. Although it is because of the Empress Dowager Li who is supporting him. And it was also pressed by Feng Bao's means. But it has to be admitted. Now there is calm in the court.

"And for Scholar Zhang. That's not to mention. Scholar Zhang is ambitious. The same is true today. And. Scholar Zhang's intentions. Ziwei also understands in his heart. I think Master Zhang knows better than his son Wei. Now things are on the right track. It's not far away.

"Actually. Ziwei couldn't understand it in his heart. Scholar Zhang was also forced to do so. After all. If you don't give in to Feng Bao. All of this now. It's just nonsense. For this. Bachelor Zhang. It's already a lot of work. ”

Speaking of which, in the end. The expression on Zhang Siwei's face was a little gloomy. And for Zhang Fan. Why not. As a matter of fact. No one can understand Zhang Juzheng better than Zhang Fan, a person who often talks to Zhang Juzheng.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand it. Zhang Juzheng climbed to his current position. How many people have been offended. There are how many people have betrayed. Right now. How many people are dissatisfied with him.

Zhang Juzheng's entry can be said to be smooth sailing. It was a great blessing for him to be able to worship under Xu Jie's door. It's not that you can learn much under Xu Jie's door. That's just one aspect. Most importantly. At that time, Xu Jie was powerful and powerful. And the seniority. can well protect Zhang Juzheng from being harassed by all forces. But at the same time, it can also let Zhang Juzheng learn how to fight in the officialdom.

This. For anyone. It's like a dream. But it was obtained by Zhang Juzheng. This has to be said to be Zhang Juzheng's luck.

And after that. The same is true of Zhang Juzheng's entry into the cabinet. has Xu Jie, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, as the first assistant scholar of the cabinet. Even the emperor couldn't say much. Xu Jie wanted to pull Zhang Juzheng into the cabinet. It's a breeze. Even if someone else has something to say. There's no way to stop that. Even if it's upset. But Xu Jie, who was old at that time. But that momentum. There is absolutely no problem to be the first assistant of this year. Just wait a few years. No one could say anything more.

And in fact, there is, but it is. After Xu Jie's pull Zhang Juzheng into the cabinet. I worked as a first assistant for a few more years. Merely. The ending of Xu Jie. I'm afraid he didn't expect it. Or maybe he expected it. But he's not like that.

At last. Xu Jie was defeated by the battle with Gao Gong. Zhishi returned to his hometown. But that's not the point. The point is. In the process of this thing. It was Zhang Juzheng who could have helped. but from the wall. Didn't say a word. And even more did not do a single thing.

But Xu Jie's whole life. But he didn't blame Zhang Juzheng for a word. It's not because Xu Jie's heart is so cold that he doesn't have any temperature at all. It's just that he understands. Understand the reason why Zhang Juzheng didn't help himself. The reason is very visible. Just one word. Zhang Juzheng's ambitions have not yet been realized.

That sounds a little funny. If you can't even do something like this. What ambitions do you want to talk about? But this is for those in the middle of the court. Even for Zhang Fan, who had just entered the official career at that time and had not been for a long time. It's not something that's hard to understand. After all, it's one thing to have ambitions. That's easy. But if you want to be ambitious. It's very difficult. And to pay a very big price. Zhang Juzheng is the latter one.

For what will happen five hundred years from now. No one in this era can predict. And even Zhang Fan, who came from that era. He was also not in politics at that time. Even if the information is too developed. But they can't let people know each other's hearts. So. Zhang Fan is from that era. But I don't know what motivates people to go into politics. After all. There are just so many possibilities.

But in this day and age. Even a thousand or two thousand years ago. The motivation for people to go into politics. That's pretty simple. In general, it can be summed up in two sentences. Either for the sake of righteousness in the heart. Either to get ahead. Both of these are aspirations that people have in their hearts. The ambition of the first kind. It's big ambitions. The second type of ambition is personal. It's selfish desires.

And whether Zhang Juzheng's ambitions are big or small. From the previous point of view. He's all for his own desires. But for the sake of selfish desires, it does not go to this point. Doing this makes everyone feel that there is a problem with his character. Then there's a problem with the whole thing.

Maybe. Others dare not say anything. But for Zhang Fan. He understood Zhang Juzheng's true intentions.

"The painstaking efforts of Scholar Zhang. I guess I know a little bit about it. "And now. Zhang Siwei also said this.

"So. For what the teacher is doing now. I don't know how Lord Zhang feels. Zhang Fan asked again.

"What Scholar Zhang is doing now." Zhang Siwei reacted immediately. "That's good, of course. As a matter of fact. When Ziwei heard about it. I just think it's a great thing. If the Queen Mother can agree. In the future. Whether it is for the court or the people. That's all a great thing. ”

"Hmm. Words are good. Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Siwei. Said with a smile. "Still. Now this court can understand the teacher's intentions. But there are really few. Feng Bao knew. Feng Bao agreed. But if you want Feng Bao to do anything for the teacher. I'm afraid it's a little difficult. For Feng Baolai. These things are optional.

"And if it's me. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it. It's not that Zhang Fan is lazy. Or maybe it's the fear of getting into trouble. Merely. Where Zhang Fan is now. It's embarrassing. If it is said in the future. The teacher's method is proudly applied. It's okay to ask Zhang Fan to do something. But now. Zhang Fan is also powerless.

"The rest. Just like Grohe in the cabinet today. Although it is true that he is helping the teacher. But what exactly was in his mind. I'm afraid Master Zhang also understands. ”

Listening to Zhang Fan's words. Zhang Siwei didn't say anything. Everything Zhang Fan said was the truth. And Zhang Siwei actually. Why don't you know?

"Now. The teacher wants to bring the adult into the cabinet. Zhang Fan continued. Come to think of it. The teacher wasn't for any other reason. It's about hoping to have someone who really cares. Go help him. ”

"Lord Zhang. What you say is true. Zhang Siwei didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Zhang Fan.

And in the face of Zhang Siwei's question. Zhang Fan didn't speak. Just nodded. It's very determined.
