Chapter 321: The Accumulation of Steps

The symbolism of this house is far more important than its concealment. To be honest, with a spy leader like Feng Bao here, it is impossible to probe their conversations, even if a big master like Feng Mingqi comes here to snoop, it is dead or alive. It is not a high demand for confidentiality, and being able to use this house is an endorsement of identity. Zhang Juzheng's lending of this room is also a hint that he agrees with Fan Jin to participate in the planning of big things. Although his attitude on the surface is still cold, it is obvious that in his heart, because of Fan Jin's talent and loyalty, he agrees to enter his own small circle.

No matter how angry he looked, he would never deny the fact that when the members of the Jiangling Party went to Lu Zhai to congratulate him and establish a good relationship with the future Shoufu, Fan Jin stood firmly on Zhang Juzheng's side and never wavered in the slightest. One cadre is thinking about how to make friends with the new first assistant so that the future work can be carried out, and Fan Jin is thinking about keeping Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, and comparing the two situations, Zhang Juzheng naturally knows who is more loyal in his heart.

Admittedly, this loyalty comes with conditions attached and is not so pure. It is more out of the son-in-law's attitude of loyalty to his father-in-law, and Zhang Shunqing's role in it is far greater than that of Zhang Juzheng. But in any case, in the Manchu Dynasty, the civil and military forces worked hard to please Lu Tiaoyang, which made Zhang Juzheng feel a lot of warmth and coldness, and Fan Jin's condolences undoubtedly made the current minister feel a little gratified, and even his opinion of him has changed greatly. Coupled with Fan Jin's statement, it also proves that he wants Zhang Juzheng to win his love, which is in line with his appeal, which also makes Zhang Juzheng quite appreciative.

From the moment Fan Jin and Feng Bao entered this room, they had been accepted by the Gangneung Party as one of the internal members. It's not that with this incident, Fan Jin can become Zhang Juzheng's son-in-law and kick Gu Shi away. But in any case, Zhang Juzheng will not reject him and be hostile to him as he did in the past, another intuitive advantage is that it will definitely be more convenient to go to Zhang's mansion in the future than now, and if he finds an opportunity, another shot appeared in Fan Jin's heart, but immediately interrupted this association and put his attention back to the present.

Feng Bao's opinion of Fan Jin is quite good, although it is true that he has conflicts with his nephew, but in the final analysis, Feng Bangning caused trouble in the final analysis, and Fan Jin belongs to passive defense. What is even more commendable is that in Zhou Shichen's case, Fan Jin first pleaded for himself in front of Mrs. Li, and then took the initiative to let Feng Bangning go, and did not tell others about him.

This made Feng Bao feel that this scholar was not only strategic, but more importantly, he knew how to advance and retreat, and could understand the general situation. In addition, the Son of Heaven and Mrs. Li have a good opinion of Fan Jin, Feng Bao naturally hopes to make this friend, not to be a rival with him, and within the scope of his ability, he doesn't mind helping Fan Jin.

He didn't think that Fan Jin was young and had the ability to fight with a veteran, but he was indeed smart and courageous enough, and he belonged to a particularly ideal pioneer. It is precisely because he is young that some things are not tactful enough, and the Gangneung Party also has something to say: He is still a child, you should not be like him. In this way, it is good to do it right, but there is room to retreat if it is wrong, and it has a strong ability to work, and it is naturally very beneficial for his own group to grasp him in his hands. Therefore, in terms of attitude, it is also extra kind.

Fan Jin took a sip of tea, looked around, and then lowered his voice slightly: "Feng Shibo, the little nephew thinks that Xiangye can't go." Once Xiangye returns to his hometown, no matter who gets to the position of the first assistant, it will be a trouble. You are a person in the officialdom, and you know more about this aspect than your little nephew, and it has been easy to get down and difficult since ancient times. It's easy to give up this position, and if you want to get it back, you don't know how many weeks and how much energy you have to waste. The defeat of the high arch must be investigated. ”

"You don't believe in Lao Lu like that?"

It's not that I believe it or not, but that Fan doesn't dare to bet. Sometimes a position, or an opportunity, can change a person's temperament. Lu Lao is now a generous person, and when he really wants to become the first assistant, for the sake of the people around him, or for anything else, he may change his current thoughts, and he will not go. Even if he doesn't think so, handing over the country to a useless person for two years is definitely not a blessing for the country, so Xiangye should still stay and preside over the overall situation. It's just that Xiang Ye can't mention this, not only can't he mention it, whoever mentions love with Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye should reiterate and reprimand him, and even belittle him out of Beijing to show his innocence. ”

"Well, who said that love thing?"

"Your Majesty, of course. His Majesty issued an order to win affection, how could he repeatedly push and concede several times in the middle, so that Zhang Xiang would be reluctant to take over this position, so as not to cause too much criticism. ”

"Actually, I also thought about this method, before you came, our family was discussing this matter with Taiyue. Let the Holy Mercy say to Banzai"

Fan Jin said: "That's what the little nephew said. Ci Sheng's words are foolproof, but what will His Majesty think? Originally, His Majesty himself may have had such thoughts, but when the Queen Mother decreed, it was obviously something she was willing to do, so she was forced to do it. The most annoying thing for a person of this age is to have someone who forces himself to do everything according to his will. This phenomenon is called adolescence or secondary two our Cantonese dialect, and Feng Shibo doesn't have to pay attention to it. The little nephew means that although Banzai is a dragon and phoenix among people, he has never been married after all, and he occasionally loses his temper when he thinks about things. If Your Majesty feels that this matter was forced to be done, I am afraid that the mood will not be happy, especially for the people involved, I am afraid that there will be dissatisfaction. If Banzai is dissatisfied with someone, then whose life is sad. ”

Feng Bao smiled: "Think back, you are too worried." Long live was raised by our family, and in the eyes of our family, he is still the eldest child. There are some tempers, but the son obeys his mother's orders and has no words. And Banzai and Taiyue have a teacher-student relationship, and Banzai will definitely not have any dissatisfaction with the matter of winning love, but will happily agree. ”

"If this is the case, then it should be even more necessary to let Banzai himself willingly make a holy decree, after all, this is not a matter of will, if someone else is forced to do it, a holy decree will be issued, and the Xiangye will ask for a leave of absence again, repeat it several times, and the irritability in my heart will be more prevalent, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to do in the future."

Feng Bao didn't think much of Fan Jin's caution, in his heart, the Son of Heaven was still a child before he got married. If a child's heart is comfortable, why should it be cared about? Children of this age from ordinary families are also beaten and scolded when they should be beaten, and the emperor naturally can't be beaten and scolded, but what is it to let him make a few holy decrees. He has Empress Dowager Li as his backer, and in front of Long Live is the image of an elder and a loyal old servant, the emperor will listen to what he says, so why bother so much.

But Fan Jin's planning is all for the consideration of his allies, and the interests of the tripartite alliance are the same, and Zhang Juzheng's interests are also his Feng Bao's interests, so he can't say anything, so he just listens quietly.

"The little nephew has already drawn the latest volume of Yue, called The Death of the Mother-in-law. The paragraph of Yue Yun Baozhuang was modified, and the mother-in-law scolded Jin Bing bitterly, and died of heartache. There were traitors in the court who took the opportunity to propose that Yue Fei should keep filial piety for 100 days before he could take command. As a result, he was stopped by a loyal minister in the court, and this treacherous plan was not sold. ”

Feng Baodao: "In your book, there are indeed guns and sticks, and there are many ambushes hidden." But relying on such a book alone, it seems that the strength is not enough. ”

"Exactly, such a big matter, which can be decided by one or two books. If you want Banzai to say the word love from your mouth, you must first let Banzai know the difficulties of being in charge. ”

Feng Bao was stunned, "It's not easy to be in charge." Long live is still young, can't be pro-government, what is the cabinet and the celebrant are doing, how can you understand what difficulties? ”

This requires Feng Shibo's strength. Also, even the cabinet side has to cooperate, if Lu Ge and my teacher handle the government in an orderly manner, I am afraid that I will not be able to think of winning love. ”

Feng Baodao: "Retreat, you just don't understand Taiyue." If Yu Suo and Feng Pan can handle the government properly, it is long live and want to win the love, and Taiyue will not agree. He was sure that he would go home and keep his filial piety. For the son of man, who doesn't want to be filial piety in front of the hall, not to mention that there is also a high hall old mother in Taiyue's family, the old father dies, Gao Tang must be sad, and the son should serve his knees to keep Gao Tang safe. He stayed to share the worries of the court and leave a little vitality for the world. If a few ministers can use it, he can rest assured that he will give up everything and go back to his duty as the son of man. You are also an understanding person, you should know how much the price Taiyue paid for the love affair. Even if you have your arrangement, Shi Linli is afraid that he may not be able to let him go. ”

Fan Jin secretly thought in his heart: Zhang Juzheng originally thought that Ding Wei was mostly true, otherwise he would not even lie to his ally Feng Baodu, and the reason why it later evolved into a love affair should be this red-clothed congratulation. Zhang Juzheng has gone through three dynasties, and his career can be called smooth sailing, unlike his mentor Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng has not suffered any major setbacks on the road of officialdom, and has been stable and smooth. There is never a lack of praise and sycophancy around him, although he is resourceful, not a stupid person who doesn't know the southeast and northwest when he says a few good words, but after all, he is also a mortal, and there will always be pride and complacency in his heart, and most of them regard themselves as natural geniuses, and they will be proud of the spring breeze in their lives.

Zhang Wenming's death this time was a sudden blow, which made him experience the taste of a handful of people walking away in advance. In the past, his home was full of cars and horses, but now it has become so deserted, and he will inevitably have a huge gap psychologically. In addition, a group of Jiangling party members went to congratulate Lu Tiaoyang instead of coming to Zhang's mansion to mourn, which made him feel betrayed by his cronies.

It's not that he doesn't allow his subordinates to have a good relationship with Lu Tiaoyang, but everything has a sequence. If you mourn first and then congratulate you, it's fine, but if the order is reversed, things will be more troublesome. Before the people left here, those subordinates didn't think about how to keep the position of the prime minister, but all went to marry the new prime minister, no matter what the overall situation was thinking about, the feelings of the parties were always uncomfortable. Under this emotional stimulation, it is inevitable that there will be a certain rebellious mentality, since you all want me to get out, I prefer to stay.

Driven by this kind of psychology, people's actions will inevitably be a little out of control, coupled with Zhang Juzheng's excessive authority, his emotions are out of control, and it is very much the taste of the monopoly of the ministers. Although the little emperor is not married, he is half an adult, and he can feel good in his eyes when he sees these behaviors. The relationship between master and apprentice may not be at odds, but most of them will plant a seed of dissatisfaction. The more such seeds are planted, the more unfavorable the situation will be in the future.

It was Fan Jin who knew that Zhang Juzheng's love was a foregone conclusion at this time, and even if Lu Tiaoyang did well, he would not let go of power. All he can do is how to deal with the seizure of affection naturally, no matter what the minister thinks, at least let the emperor understand that he needs Mr. Zhang, so that there can be less dissatisfaction.

Feng Bao may not feel his good intentions, but in the general direction, he supports Fan Jin's ideas and methods. It is more convenient to make the emperor voluntarily say words to win love than to let Empress Dowager Li take action. He nodded and said: "On the side of the celebrant supervisor, our family can have the final say, that is, there are a few villains around Long live, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to jump out."

Fan Jin smiled, "If a few villains jump out at this time, it won't be a good thing." It's more convenient for them to jump out than to find someone to come by themselves, what does Shibo think? ”

Feng Bao also smiled, "Think back, the common people have a saying, twenty years ago, look at the father and respect the son, twenty years later, look at the son and respect the father, with your talent and strategy, a few decades later, the juniors of my family will rely on you to take care of it." At that time, I hope you will remember the friendship between our family and you today, look down on them, and save a bite to eat for those bastards. ”

"Shibo is polite, I am just a junior in front of you, and I have to rely on you to take care of me. Besides, the younger generation is also indispensable for something, please help. ”

Feng Baodao: "Don't worry, if you have something to do and open your mouth directly, let's treat you as our own nephew, as long as you can do it, you will never say a word." It's just to say one thing in advance, Gu Shi Gu Shou is a true gentleman, one is not greedy for money, two is not good, three is not evil, and four has no quirks, if you want me to say bad things about him, this is absolutely impossible, I have to face you, but I can't lie to Taiyue, don't you? ”

Fan Jin smiled, "What Shibo said is, but if that's the case, the juniors won't have anything to ask for." ”

"You." Feng Bao pointed with his hand, "I'll sit and drink tea and eat snacks, I'll go talk to Taiyue." We happen to have a dose of fierce medicine in our hands, and we originally wanted to find a suitable time, so it seems that we have to use it now. Your kid has chosen an extremely difficult path, whether you can succeed or not, our family is actually not sure in our hearts, we can only say that our family is on your side. But you did things too badly before, and you couldn't control your lower body for a while, and you became what you are now. If you and the niece of the Zhang family were not dyed that day, what does it matter if I will protect you for this matchmaker now? But now it's hard. But if you let it go, the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty and even the daughters of the emperor's relatives can protect you from the media. ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "The little nephew has made up his mind, and nothing is easier." ”

"Then I can only say one sentence, it's okay to recite more scriptures, accumulate some blessings for yourself, and see if you can succeed or not. Hello sit, I'll go find Taiyue first. ”

Fan Jin sat in this remote room, closed his eyes, and listened to the sound of wind and sand blowing through the window, his heart fluctuated. What repeatedly appeared in my mind was Zhang Shunqing's thin and haggard face, and Gu Shi's appearance that could be called a jade tree. Although it is not as good as Liu Kanzhi, it is not too different, such a man is actually more worthy of Shang Shunqing than himself. If you let it go, maybe the lives of both of them will be very good, and the connection with the Zhang family will not weaken, but will be closer.

He thought about it, and then shook his head, how can the woman he like give up to others, even if he is in bed, he naturally wants to marry back as a wife. Zhang Juzheng's heart is not made of stone, so I don't believe that he has not softened a little, and he and Shunqing must become husband and wife sooner or later.

There were two loud voices outside, the door opened, but it was not Feng Bao but the housekeeper You Qi who came in, and he saluted Fan Jin and said: "Master Fan, Master Fan wants to meet a few important guests, and he has no time to meet Gongzi." At present, it is too late, and it is inconvenient for you to go back to the house, so the Xiangye instructed that the small one will arrange for you to go to the guest room to rest. ”
