The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Cao Shu knows the spring and returns soon, red and purple fighting in every way.

Late spring always makes people feel a little sad, but more of it is anticipation. The best season of the year is about to pass, and I look forward to the early arrival of the days to come.

At this time, it can be said that the mountains and plains are full of purples and reds, and they seem to be vying for the crown of the last time of spring. This season is also the season that people like to travel the most. Maybe they want to take advantage of the last time of spring to pass. The scene is deeply reflected in my heart, and I will spend the coming midsummer time with me, but in the end, these are just temporary feelings of people, and when the summer comes, I will be attracted by the scene of the hundred rings in full bloom , This nostalgia has long since been thrown away.

During this period of time, Zhang Fan took his family out more and more frequently. From the looks of others, this was just a normal lazy behavior. After all, for the capital city in the north, going out for fun in summer is of course not unreasonable. That's all, besides, Zhang Fan also has such a qualification to be lazy.

However, some people are unwilling to go out so frequently. Zhang Fan's son and daughter, the two under-year-old children, seem to be a little tired of it. Every time they go out with them, the brother and sister have a good understanding The ground cried loudly in unison, this crying was not a big deal, but Zhao's heart ached.

It is not an exaggeration to say that when you have a grandson, you forget about your son. It is not an exaggeration to apply this sentence to Mrs. Zhao. Ever since she had this pair of grandchildren, Mrs. Zhao's attitude towards Zhang Fan has changed, if not abruptly. Naturally, she would not blame Ru Xue, the daughter-in-law. After all, the pair of grandchildren can be regarded as her credit. For Ru Xue, in Zhao's eyes, it is correct to use the word "hard work and high achievement".

As a result, regarding the doting of their offspring, the guns naturally turned to Zhang Fan. As long as Zhang Fan was by his side, and the pair of little ancestors started crying, Zhang Fan would definitely be scolded. Injustice, after all, it has nothing to do with him, but since the highest-ranking member of the Zhang family, Mrs. Zhao, has spoken, and Zhang Fan is also very filial, so, gradually, injustice has become helpless. Until now, as long as Zhao stared at him, and before he could speak, Zhang Fan immediately went to admit his mistake, wanting to avoid harming himself.

However, Mrs. Zhao has not yet reached the point of being old and confused. No matter how much she says that Zhang Fan is wrong, she still loves and understands her son in her heart. She naturally understands that at this time, even if she is a mother Even so, why did he still look for an opportunity to go out? Just listen to the knock on the door that he kept thinking of after the afternoon at home, and he will understand everything.

Since the children didn't want to go out, Mrs. Zhao naturally left them to accompany her to make herself happy. Zhang Fan didn't say anything when his mother took the initiative to do so. Without two people in the way, Zhang Fan happened to be able to have a few daughters with Ru Xue. Let's get together. After all, he was too busy a while ago, even if he went out to play, he couldn't let go of his business. People often came to him. Now, things have gradually calmed down, and Zhang Fan can naturally find a lot of free time.

Moreover, the number of people who came to Zhang Fan's house to inquire about the situation in the court has gradually decreased recently. Long Qing is recuperating in the harem. The officials didn't know what was going on in the palace anymore. The only thing they could be sure of was that even if Long Qing was extremely weak at this time, he was not bad at all, because whether it was the news from Zhang Fan or the money spent Bribing the eunuchs in the harem, everyone got the same answer, that is, the emperor's body has begun to recover.

The only thing that makes Feng Bao very upset is that he found out that before Emperor Longqing's illness, Feng Bao, whom he hated the most, went to join in the fun every day, saying good things, caring, and flattering. Gao Gong was helpless, Feng Bao was originally an eunuch, and he was the eunuch with the palm seal of the chief of ceremonies, the head of eunuchs in the world today, his status can be regarded as extremely high, the same is true in the palace, as the emperor's assistant, he went to It is normal to go to the emperor's side.

The only thing Gao Gong was worried about was that during the last period of Long Qing's time, Feng Bao would take the initiative to get close, which would cause him some disadvantages in the future.

Why do we say that in the last few days, didn't the news from the palace say that Longqing had recovered well during this period? In fact, it was not the case. Except for a few specific people, the officials in the court knew about this matter, so There are only Zhang Fan, Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Yi, and Zhang Fan can only be regarded as half a courtier. The total number of Long Qing's dying people is now less than one, and the only imperial physician who has the best breakthrough, Wang Youcai, has already been scared out of his wits, dare not reveal anything at all, and is on the verge of going crazy.

But Gao Gong still had this kind of premonition. What gave him a premonition was one thing, and one thing was also extremely secret. Come here, Ming Muzong Zhu Zaihou, that is, when Longqing ascended the throne, began to build the imperial mausoleum at the eastern foot of Daling Mountain, although it sounds a bit too inappropriate It's auspicious, but these generations of emperors have come here like this, why should Zhu Zaihou, a greedy and lustful person, have an exception, but even though the construction has already started early, the speed is indeed quite slow After all, the emperor lived a life of pampering, how could he die so easily.

But now, Gao Gong doesn't know where he heard the news. It is said that the construction of the Zhaoling Mausoleum, where Lord Longqing lived after his ascension to immortality, has been speeded up. In fact, this is a very common thing. It's just that Long Qing, no matter which emperor is ill, this is necessary. After all, life and death are life and death. If someone is in charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, he feels that the emperor is ill but it is not a problem, and he will not die at all, so he slacks off Well, when the emperor is really dead, it will be over, and it is really a living sacrifice.

However, in Gao Gong's view, this news was a bit unusual. Although Gao Gong had said to himself more than once in his heart that this was nothing more than a normal thing, in his heart he couldn't help it. Completely let go of this matter, even during the day, because he had to compete with Zhang Juzheng in the cabinet, he temporarily forgot about it because he was too busy; After I could only lie down on the bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and I thought of this incident again in my heart.

It's really amazing to say it, and what's even more amazing is that this time, Gao Gong didn't pay much attention to this matter. He attributed everything to his worrying too much and the worry in his heart would not happen. Gao Gong didn't Take any precautionary measures according to the warnings your intuition brings to you.

As the saying goes, "one wrong move, the whole game is lost", however, until the end, a chess player cannot see that he has made a move that will undoubtedly lead him to defeat.

Back to Zhang Fan, he can be considered to be free during this time, of course, except for that one thing, Zhang Fan is still troubled now.

Yes, it was precisely because of that incident that before Zhang Fan went out to avoid those people who came to him endlessly to ask him about the situation in the palace, but this time, besides that reason, Zhang Fan also went out for one other incident. Lead the snake out of the hole.

A few days ago, after Zhang Fan approached Li Yang and asked him many things, he asked him to join in the surveillance.

It's not because of prejudice against Li Yang, on the contrary, Zhang Fan still believes in Li Yang's words and his analysis. In his opinion, the woman who came to find Yingyue is most likely what Li Yang said. Yu'er is gone, but it's hard to come to a conclusion before I can be [-]% sure. Although I think about whether the woman is Yu'er or not, the situation is similar, but Zhang Fan would rather patiently grasp the complete evidence before making a decision. Make a plan, after all, there are some things that can be missed by a tiny bit, but a thousand miles away.

Now, Zhang Fan, who travels every day, is always followed by a group of hidden people, and Li Yang is also among them, in order to lure that woman to show up again, so that Li Yang can figure out her identity. Of course, it would be even better if Li Yang could see through the way she always disappears for no reason every time, so that he could follow the clues and find this woman.

And among these people related to this matter, the only one who is in a key position and has no knowledge of all this is Yingyue.

Zhang Fan had also planned that as long as this woman appeared, he could not help but go up and arrest her. The other party did not know martial arts, and it would be easy to catch a weak woman like her, but Zhang Fan did not do this. Why, he just didn't do it, but now, after listening to Li Yang's words, he couldn't do it anymore. For one thing, if this woman is not that Yu'er, or even not a member of the Five Poison Sect, Catching her won't help, and she will scare the snake; secondly, according to Li Yang's words after talking with Zhang Fan last time, this woman Yu'er looks very weak, but in fact she has a strong temper, especially for Fang Yueling, which is timely. Although it never happened to his loyal minister, Li Yang still told Zhang Fan that even if Yu'er was tortured by the Jin Yiwei, she might not speak up, and she might be killed in the end, which would arouse Fang Yueling's anger even more. , then the gain outweighs the loss.

And in the past few days, the woman who would appear in front of Yingyue every now and then has been almost half a month, but she has disappeared.

Until today, when Zhang Fan felt that things were getting dirty, she actually came again.

After receiving this news, Zhang Fan, who had been in low spirits for the past few days, couldn't help but cheer up.
