The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"You mean that Gao Gong questioned the emperor openly in the court, and asked the emperor to order the arrest of old Xu Ge immediately in front of the officials." Zhang Fan's eyes widened.He looked at Liang Chao in front of him in surprise.It was as if he had said something shocking.

Liang Chao naturally knew why Zhang Fan was so surprised.But he wasn't surprised.After all, it was just when I just received the news.He himself was no better than Zhang Fan: "Exactly. My lord. I also received a report from my brothers in the capital. I was surprised at first." Nonsense.Can you not be surprised?As Jin Yiwei.What top secret, even absurd things do not know.But Liang Chao had never seen any courtier who dared to challenge the emperor in front of the courtiers above the court.

Think about how many treacherous eunuchs and powerful officials came out in the Ming Dynasty.But who dares to challenge the emperor.Liu Jin's chaos back then.No one dares to control the government.It depends on Wu Zong's favor and trust in him; let's talk about it closer.Yan Song was in power for a while.But Emperor Jiajing had a weird temper.He can only show his prestige to the people below.How dare he challenge Jiajing.

After Zhang Fan heard the news.In shock.I also thought about the reason in my heart.Why did Gao Gong dare to do this.He doesn't seem to be in power yet.When one person is below ten thousand people.Or maybe Long Qing was really an extremely nice emperor.This kind of thing that sweeps the emperor's face can also be tolerated.No, Zhang Fan didn't think so.Emperors are human too.There is also three points of anger.What's more, the emperor doesn't want to lose face.It's just that Zhang Fan couldn't understand the reason why Gao Gong was so arrogant.Still can't figure out why Long Qing didn't attack on the spot.Could it be...

"My lord. This letter was brought to your lord by the trustee of Mr. Feng from Dongchang." Just as he was thinking.Liang Chao took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan accepted the letter with some doubts.Take it apart and look at it.

It turned out that Feng Bao was afraid that Zhang Fan would not know what happened in the capital.Even helping Xu Jie is not very exciting.So he deliberately wrote down the ins and outs of the matter and handed it over to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan understood after reading the letter.It turned out that Long Qing also knew about the collusion between Gao Gong and Dang Chong.This kind of collusion between courtiers and eunuchs has always been taboo since ancient times.No emperor would allow this to happen.Zhang Fan estimated that Long Qing was now planning to remove Gao Gong in one fell swoop.Not only to ruin his reputation.It's better to let his head fall to the ground.

As for Long Qing, in his current status as the emperor, he didn't attack immediately.Instead, he wanted to go around so many circles to punish Gao Gong.Zhang Fan can understand.Long Qing experienced a difficult life as a prince.At that time, he lived in fear of Jiajing who didn't know when he would attack him.If it weren't for Emperor Jiajing, he would be such a son.I'm afraid he couldn't bear the pressure long ago and committed suicide.But in this extreme case.People also go to extremes.Either become cruel and easy to kill, or become very meek.Long Qing obviously belonged to the latter.

But from Feng Bao's letter.Zhang Fan knew what happened in the palace.Knowing that Long Qing was really angry this time.The emperor, who had never lost his temper, beat and kicked a young eunuch in the palace.Zhang Fan knew.Gao Gong must be in trouble.And it's big trouble.Not to mention that his position as chief assistant cannot be kept.I'm afraid it's whether the head on the item can be kept.

And what Feng Bao wanted Zhang Fan to do.It's just trying to compare and try to collect evidence that is unfavorable to Gao Gong.Zhang Fan felt that Feng Bao had found the right person this time.I don't know if he was on purpose or not.Now the relationship between Zhang Fan and Gao Gong has been drawn.Although the two have not yet confronted each other.But judging from Gao Gong's current performance.He already hated Xu Jie to the bone.Then I helped Xu Jie some time ago.In the future, Gao Gong will definitely have to ask Zhang Fan for his debt.

and.Zhang Fan still cares a little bit.That is now he is checking taxes in the south of the Yangtze River.This matter involved eunuchs guarding many places in the south of the Yangtze River.The most representative ones are Liu Shan and Wei Yuan.And what a coincidence.Most of the guarding eunuchs in Jiangnan have something to do with Meng Chong.Zhang Fan thought about it.Feng Bao was not like an ordinary eunuch.Although very greedy for money.But also understand righteousness.I will still need him in the future.So he decided to buy Feng Bao some face.

I made up my mind.Zhang Fan asked, "How is the situation at Wang Meng's side?"

Liang Chao heard it.Somewhat helpless: "My lord, there is no progress on the side of Lord Qianhu. The nearly [-] families seem to have been coerced by something. They are not willing to testify for the old man at all. In addition, the Lord has ordered not to threaten these people. Qianhu Mr. Hu has been there for nearly a month. It took more than a dozen families to talk about it.”

Zhang Fan frowned upon hearing this.But he can understand.After all, what the common people care about is to live in peace and stability.Although Zhang Fan has always believed in the saying that justice is at ease with people's hearts.But for those ordinary people who really care about themselves.does not apply.

"What did the old man say?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Listen to the news from Lord Qianhu. Elder Ge doesn't seem to care what Gao Gong will do to him." Liang Chao said. "Master Qianhu also mentioned it to Elder Ge. I want Elder Ge to come forward. I want those people to see that Elder Ge has treated them so well. They can change their minds. But Elder Ge doesn't want this. Elder Ge means himself He is already old. The matter between Gao Gong and him is also his own fault. He can't blame others. It's just that Mr. Ge can't let go of his family. Especially his grandson. He has also expressed it. As long as it doesn't hurt himself Family members. Elder Ge doesn’t plan to do anything else...struggle.”

Zhang Fan listened to his words.Suddenly frowned.If a person has no desire to survive.Even if others risk their lives to save them, it will not work.But Zhang Fan wasn't lamenting Xu Jie's disillusionment.Instead, I find it a bit troublesome.The current situation is no longer the matter of Gao Gong and Xu Jie.This matter has now involved himself, Feng Bao, Meng Chong and others.And more importantly.Now even Long Qing was involved.It seems that Zhang Fan needs to go to Songjiang Mansion himself.Talked with Xu Jie face to face.

But even Zhang Fan went.He was still a little worried.Worried that Xu Jie doesn't believe that Long Qing wants to deal with Gao Gong.He wanted to deal with Gao Gong openly; what he was more worried about was Xu Jie's conflict with Long Qing.resulting in a feeling of resistance.But this matter can't make him think so much now.Maybe……

A light flashed in Zhang Fan's heart.Xu Jie is not that kind of hypocritical person.And for people.Who really wants to die.What's more, for a sour and Confucian character like Xu Jie.Absolutely spare no effort to respect the imperial court and the emperor.This problem is solved.The rest is how to persuade Xu Jie.

Zhang Fan is thinking about this matter.Zhu Yijun walked over.See Zhu Yijun.Liang Chao hurriedly knelt down to say hello.Zhu Yijun uninterestedly raised his hand to flatten him.However, Zhang Fan didn't realize that he was behind him.Instead, continue to meditate.He couldn't help asking: "Teacher, what are you thinking about? So engrossed."

Zhang Fan, who was awakened by Zhu Yijun's words, saw him now.Some shyly said: "Oh. It's Jun'er. I'm fine. I'm just thinking..." He said here.Zhang Fan stopped suddenly.Neither speak.He just stared at Zhu Yijun with wide eyes.Eyeballs are still spinning around.Seems to think of something.

How did Zhu Yijun know what Zhang Fan was thinking.Seeing him staring at himself like this.And it seems to be planning something.Seeing Zhang Fan like this for the first time, Zhu Yijun couldn't help feeling a little scared.I don't know what he is thinking.Or playing their own ideas.

He stared at Zhu Yijun for a long time.Zhang Fan suddenly turned his head away.Liang Chao, who also looked puzzled, asked, "Liang Chao. What do you think? If Jun'er is willing to go..."

"Miao Miao. My lord has a great plan. This elder will definitely agree." Liang Chao said before Zhang Fan finished speaking.He already understood what Zhang Fan meant.It is for Zhu Yijun to come forward to persuade Xu Jie.Thinking of Xu Jie's paranoia towards the royal family.Zhu Yijun came forward.He will definitely follow Zhu Yijun's wishes.

Zhu Yijun had no idea what the two were talking about.Watching the two talking happily.From time to time, he looked at himself with some strange eyes.Zhu Yijun couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.In this June, Jiangnan is much cooler.It's just that his whole heart is cold.I thought to myself: "Teacher, he must have come up with some idea to frame me. No, no, teacher is not that kind of person. But, just in case..."

Zhang Fan smiled and pulled Zhu Yijun to sit down.I personally poured a cup of tea for him.She has the expression of a wolf grandmother.Zhu Yijun really couldn't stand him like this.He opened his mouth and said, "Teacher, you should speak directly. You are like this. I'm afraid." There was panic in the aggrieved look.It's like facing the little daughter-in-law of five or six big men alone.

Zhang Fan listened to his words.Look at what he looks like now.It's a little funny in my heart.But for this matter.He is no longer like this.Straighten up quickly.He said quite seriously: "His Royal Highness, I have something to ask His Royal Highness for help."

As soon as Zhu Yijun heard him talking to him with such a formal name.Coupled with that serious expression.Naturally, he knew that Zhang Fan must have encountered something difficult.He opened his mouth and said: "Teacher doesn't have to be like this. If you have something to say, just say it. If you can do it, I will naturally agree."

Zhang Fan didn't talk too much.Immediately told the whole story of the matter.Originally thought that Zhu Yijun would definitely agree to this matter.How did Zhu Yijun hear that Zhang Fan wanted to meet Xu Jie by himself.He immediately shook his hand.He kept saying no.

Zhang Fan and Liang Chao looked at him suspiciously.Zhu Yijun realized that he had lost his composure.Straighten up quickly.Cough lightly.Then he said: "Teacher, let me call you like that. You don't know, Teacher. This Xu Jie is really annoying. In the past, relying on his own position as the chief assistant of the cabinet, he could enter and leave the palace as a scholar of the Wenhua Palace. Every day The first time I saw him, he had to tell me some great truths. And it took me a long time to talk. I was so annoying. When he became an official, I was secretly happy. Now the teacher asked me to meet him. Why not Hurry up and send me back to the palace."

Zhang Fan and Liang Chao heard what he said.They were all a little stunned.The two really did not expect such a scene.Zhang Fan couldn't help persuading him hard.But Zhu Yijun is like a bastard eating a weight.As determined as ever.No matter what Zhang Fan said, he just refused.Zhang Fan and Liang Chao couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled wryly.
