When Feng Bao heard this answer, he felt as if he had been whipped by a whip, and he almost jumped up from his chair, and said in a loud voice: "This must not be." Taiyue, you are confused, otherwise you would never say such a thing. I haven't heard this sentence, and I won't pass it on to the Holy Mercy, so you hurry up and think of someone who can take charge! ”

Zhang Juzheng's expression was as usual, and he pointed out the window with his finger, "Shuanglin, listen." The wind, the cry, and the music. Like my Zhang family has declined, the movement when I was dismissed and copied from my home? ”

"There are no such words. What's so strange about your family's family as it should be? Don't say such frustrating words, Your Majesty Cisheng has a lot of trust in Taiyue, who dares to touch you in the slightest? ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, "You don't have to appease me, and I'm not sad." In fact, as far as I am concerned, I think this is a very valuable experience, and not everyone has this opportunity to see the world and people's hearts in advance. They made me understand a lot of things and make up my mind. That's right, I'm going to stay. When I returned to my hometown, Ding Wei was originally a court system, but now it seems that once someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, people mistakenly think that Zhang has lost power, and he will inevitably fall into the well and disassociate himself from me. If it's just a simple lack of contact, or even slander, it doesn't really matter. What I am most afraid of is that they are in a hurry to get rid of everything and start with the new law we are promoting. ”

"Shuanglin has also gone through three dynasties, and I have seen a lot of ups and downs, and this layer must be imagined. As soon as they heard that someone had fallen, they would expel those who were used in the system they were imposing, regardless of whether they were fools or virtuous. Even in order to show his innocence, he deliberately did everything contrary to it, and he opposed it for the sake of opposition, and there was never a lack of things. It is not enough to oppose Zhang Mou, but if the new law is broken for the sake of anti-Zhang, and the test law and a whip are all abolished, our hard work in the past few years will be in vain. ”

Feng Baodao: "Yu Suo, this person is still a benevolent gentleman, and if he is not at ease, you can recommend someone you can trust to ensure that the new law can be implemented." ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, "It's not that simple. The new law I have introduced has victimized too many people. Before the test, the big gentry we beat were the pawns who were sent out to explore the way. The people behind it can't even move you and me, the emperor's relatives, the hereditary lords, and those local officials of famous families. Taken together, these forces are a force that no one can underestimate. You and I know what kind of person Lu Yusuo is, loyal and useless, and I will never dare to offend so many people for the sake of the new law. He will not deliberately destroy my new law to show his dissatisfaction with me, but he will not deliberately defend it when the people below oppose it. In this way, the new law is not bad but bad, and it will also end in the same way. As for the others, those who are qualified to be in charge are not of the same mind as you and me, and besides, if they don't help the emergency, none of them who can use it at the moment have this responsibility. ”

Feng Bao hesitated: "Otherwise, we won't set up a first assistant, and only let one person protect the seal......

Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: "Shuanglin, do you think about it, where does such a cabinet come from? If the name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will be difficult to act. I have actually thought about this question for a long time, Zhang read the book of sages, why don't you know the way of filial piety? I also thought about it, Ding Nei went with difficulty, handed over the government to a cadre of subordinates to jointly support, as long as the situation does not deteriorate, after I recover, I can also make up for the losses of the past three years. But today, I can see the faces of these people clearly. They can do things, and they can do things, but the purpose of doing things is not to serve the court, but just to keep their power. In order to please me, the first assistant, these people will spare no effort to implement the new law, and even use some extraordinary means. In order to please the new first assistant, he will also change his ways, learn from Lu Tiaoyang's Huang Lao's way, and rule by doing nothing. They are the ones who practice the new law, and they can also be the ones who break the new law. How can I rest assured that the country is handed over to such people, and no one is watching? ”

Feng Baodao: "Taiyue, I think you are also too worried, the situation will not be so bad, right?" ”

"Shuanglin, think about it, the fact that the government can have such a pattern today is the result of you, me, and Cisheng supporting each other and working together. The newly appointed Shoufu first does not have enough friendship with you, the second and the Queen Mother lack trust in each other, and the third does not have much majesty in front of the Son of Heaven. If we can't communicate with each other inside and outside, and if we can't work together from top to bottom, we won't have my authority and authority. And the implementation of the new law requires great power and majesty. A commanding assistant who has no authority and no trust, not to mention continuing to implement the new law, will never be able to defend Chengdu. ”

In the process of implementing the new law, Feng Bao and Zhang Ju were comrades-in-arms, and the two supported each other and worked hard to implement the new law, knowing that it was difficult. I also know that what Zhang Juzheng said is indeed a fact, from an objective point of view, today's Ming Dynasty is inseparable from Zhang Juzheng at all.

No matter who is replaced as the first assistant, there will be problems in the cooperation of the troika, and when the Son of Heaven cannot control the world by himself, the problem of the troika is destined to be a national problem, and the government and the people's livelihood will definitely be affected. But Feng Bao still shook his head and said:

"Taiyue, what you say is the affairs of the world, and what I say is your own affairs. At present, the world is peaceful, and there is no reason to win love. If the Son of Heaven decrees to seize love, the hundred officials will definitely be able to guess that it is you and me who are plotting, and they must ensure that you stay on the throne. Whether it is a speech official or a Manchu civil and military officer, I am afraid that he will not agree. Your reputation will ...... then."

"Since it has plummeted, it has become the object of scolding from people all over the world." Zhang Juzheng nodded, "I don't know what the end will be if I do this." Not to mention the present, even after I die, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the mouth of Youyou, and scold me as a rebellious minister and thief who has no king, no father, and is disloyal and unfilial. But...... And what can be done? ”

He sighed and said: "Cisheng treats each other with the courtesy of a countryman, and regards Zhang as a teacher." These courtesies are the ultimate in courtesy. Zhang can only live up to the grace of God by making the treasury full of hundreds of officials and diligent. Originally, I also wanted to be loyal and filial, so that I could serve the court and protect myself. But right now, it seems that many people are waiting for me to retreat, so that the world can become what they want, and once this step is retreated, they will never come back. Now there are two paths in front of me, one is that I follow the rules to win the love and worries, and as for the affairs of the world, I will leave it to others to worry about. At least while I'm alive, the world won't be shaken, and the situation can be maintained, and I can't worry about what happens after I die. When I die, maybe I will be able to be named a virtuous minister and get a few compliments. The other way is to be pointed out by Qianfu, regarded as scum by Shilin, and despised by the world. But it can save the vitality of the country, so that Banzai will not have to worry about state affairs in the future. There are extraordinary people in the world, and then do extraordinary things, what can Zhang do if he is an extraordinary person! ”

Feng Bao recalled that when the old lord died and the young lord and widow were in danger, it was he and Zhang Juzheng who joined forces inside and outside to stabilize the situation and expel the prime minister, ensuring the stability of the court situation, and then having the current situation. With mixed feelings in his heart, he shook his head and said, "Taiyue, you are a civil official!" It's not like us. I don't want fame, you can't......"

"I know, but the food of the king repays the kindness of the king, and from this point on, there is no difference between you and me."

"People say that you Zhang Taiyue is the first in the Zhizhi Dynasty, but in Feng's opinion, you are an idiot! Although he is good at seeking a country, he is not good at seeking a career. As soon as the discussion of seizing love comes out, the government and the opposition will inevitably shake, and I don't know how many ministers who were originally attached to you will draw a line with you and even become hostile. If your majesty thinks that you are greedy for power, it is not a good thing for the ministers. ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, "It won't be like this." Your Majesty is my disciple, and I have a teacher-student friendship, so how can I suspect that my mentor has a plan? My heart can be seen every day, long live and my monarch and ministers know each other, there will be no such suspicion. ”

Feng Baodao: "That is the case, I am afraid that there will be traitors to provoke it, Your Majesty is young, once you are bewitched by traitors and have some bad thoughts, it will not be what will happen now, and it will be difficult to say what will happen in the future." ”

"It doesn't matter, there are you and Cisheng in the palace, even if there are traitors and bewitchers, there are also you who uphold justice for me, I am not worried about this. Now I'm just wondering who is going to do this sentimental recital. ”

Feng Bao thought for a while, "Naturally, you can't go on yourself, and neither can your nephew." I have no choice but to ask Cisheng to come forward, so that Long Live will make a will, Taiyue, you can just excuse yourself. ”

He looked at Zhang Juzheng's face again, although the lights in the room were quite bright, but after all, they were not as bright as the sun, and he couldn't see them too clearly. After a long while, he said, "Taiyue, why do I think your face is a little pale, but that old problem?" ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "That's it." The last time I was sick, I was diagnosed and treated by Li Yanwen, a famous doctor in Huguang, and this time I heard that my father had passed away, and I was sad in my heart, and I didn't want the old illness to attack again, and the blood did not stop. Fortunately, I found the prescription I left at that time, and my condition improved slightly. ”

"It's getting better a little bit...... That's heavier than the last time? This can't be delayed, so let's ask the doctor to take a look. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "How can I ask for a doctor at this time?" If the news of my illness comes out, those people will think that I am too annoying to support the overall situation, and there will be nothing to be done. My body has always been tough, and this little illness can't help me, so Shuanglin doesn't have to worry about it. Now only thinking about this love-grabbing thing, it is not the best way to ask Cisheng to come forward, but it is not easy to find a powerful minister to win the love-grabbing chapter at the moment, so it has to be like this. ”

At this moment, You Shilu knocked on the door outside, and after entering the door, his face was a little embarrassed and said, "Master...... Fan Jin Fan Chuanyun handed over his name to ask for a meeting, saying that he was coming to ...... Condole. ”

"Condolence?" Zhang Juzheng snorted: "My father is not related to him, so he doesn't need to mourn, and he sent him back." ”

"Slow!" Feng Bao called You Qi to stop, and said to Zhang Juzheng: "Taiyue, the common people have a saying, if you have money, you can't buy Lingqian hanging. How can there be any reason to drive guests out? Besides, among the people who went to Lu Yu's house to congratulate him today, there was no Fan Jin. ”

Zhang Juzheng naturally knew that Fan Jin did not betray him, and did not go to Lu Tiaoyang's house to congratulate him on becoming the first assistant. Now, no one else has come to mourn, Fan Jin took the lead in coming to the door, and this attitude is also obvious. In other words, when his henchmen were losing their sincerity, Fan Jin maintained his loyalty to himself.

Whether it was the Zeng Guang case that was handled on the road and indirectly killed He Xinyin, an old enemy, or this time to clean up the high arch, Zhang Juzheng, who had contributed to Fan Jinli, naturally saw it in his eyes and was very satisfied with his talent. At present, the loyalty he shows is more reliable than that of those Gangneung party members, and it is said that he should be co-opted and cultivated, and he will use it as his own spear in the future.

But the problem is that Zhang Juzheng just wants to maintain work contacts with Fan Jin, and doesn't want him to enter his home. Especially now that Gu Shi is also helping at home, although his engagement to Zhang Shunqing was forced to run aground because of this accident, Gu Shi obviously regarded himself as a member of the Zhang family, kneeling in front of the spirit card and kowtowing to burn paper, which was extremely filial.

Zhang Juzheng has a very good opinion of him, and thinks that such a good boy is the best candidate to be a son-in-law, and at this time, it is natural to keep an absolute distance from Fan Jin and cut off his thoughts. He had to come in, what was the matter?

Feng Bao has been in the palace for many years, and the ability to observe words and emotions is a basic skill, how can he not see what Zhang Juzheng thinks. said on the side: "Taiyue, Fan Jin is always resourceful, I don't think he is coming now, it's just as simple as condolences, maybe he has any ideas, I don't know." His talent is not as good as Taiyue's, but there are always many people with multiple brains, and it is a good thing that someone has an idea. You Qi, you just let him in to condole, don't let him walk around. I believe that Fan Huisi will not be confused to the point of fighting with Gu Shi at this time, and then talk about it...... The two couldn't fight. ”

As Zhang Juzheng's friend, he has also met Gu Shi. To be honest, Feng Bao looked down on this person. His personality is not like Zhang Juzheng, and his actions are also extremely dark, and he belongs to a camp conflict with a righteous gentleman like Gu Shi, and he has no good opinion when they meet. In his opinion, if Gu Shizhen marries Zhang Shunqing, unless he hides from Fan Jin, he will become Wu Dalang sooner or later. is because of his words, Gu Shimian has a melon temperament, and he will not have the courage to conflict with Fan Jin.

With Feng Bao's face, You Qi couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly went out to lead Fan Jin to the temporary mourning hall, and allowed him to kneel there and burn paper. When Fan Jin walked to the mourning hall, he saw that there were only two men to accompany the spirit, one was the third son Zhang Maoxiu, and the other man was older than Zhang Maoxiu, with a long jade face, eyebrows, handsome eyes, and a dignified appearance.

Seeing him come in, Zhang Maoxiu was a little embarrassed and coughed a few times, but he didn't know what to say. The man next to him looked at Fan Jin, his face was red and white, very strange.

、

Fan Jin ignored them, and under the guidance of You Qi, he kowtowed in front of the spirit, burned a few more pieces of paper, and then talked with the two. Zhang Maoxiu sighed for a while, he didn't know how to introduce it, the man was not much better than Zhang Maoxiu, and his emotions towards Fan Jin were very complicated, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and he seemed to be a little afraid, and he didn't know what to say when he was in the period. You Qi had no choice but to cough and introduce Fan Jin:

"This is Gu Gongzi, and my family is a good friend of the old world, and he is now Shangbao Si Shaoqing."

"In the next look...... True. The man finally opened his mouth, reluctantly bowed his hand to Fan Jin, and then said in an accentuated tone: "Xiangye has promised his beloved daughter to me, and when the mourning period comes, he will be hired." ”
