The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

The first thing Ge Shouli said when he saw Zhang Fan was to tell Feng Bao to stop. Zhang Fan could naturally hear what he was talking about, but he didn't know if it was a habit he had developed over the past two years or whether it was a Said that Zhang Fan was a little uncomfortable talking to Ge Shouli about this matter.

"What is Master Ge talking about?" Zhang Fan gave a sloppy look, "Eunuch Feng hasn't done anything recently, and the court is very stable."

"Hmph," upon hearing what Zhang Fan said, Ge Shouli snorted coldly, as if he had expected that Zhang Fan would evade in this way, "What is Chaozhong like now, I think you, the one in charge of Jinyiwei, understand better than this old man."

"... Hehe..." Hearing what Ge Shouli said, Zhang Fan touched his nose in embarrassment, and laughed a few times, but he was a little speechless.

"What's more..." Ge Shouli didn't care about Zhang Fan's expression, and continued, "The reason why this old man came to you instead of looking for Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao is because this old man thinks that you still have that true love in your heart." Just for the sake of the imperial court, if you still want to play such a trick with the old man, then the old man has misjudged the person, "

After saying these words, Ge Shouli stood up and was about to leave without waiting for Zhang Fan to express his opinion.

"Master Ge, slow down, slow down." Seeing that Ge Shouli was about to leave, Zhang Fan quickly stood up and stopped him, "Isn't it Zhang Fan? Isn't this a bit of a habit?" For Ge Shouli, who is very rare nowadays, Zhang Fan Fan really didn't want to have an affair with him, even though Zhang Fan knew in his heart that even if he offended Ge Shouli, he would not do anything to retaliate against him, but Zhang Fan just couldn't do that.

"Hmph," Ge Shouli snorted coldly when he saw Zhang Fan stopped him, but he didn't insist, and sat back again, probably because the weather is so hot today, he took a sip of the herbal tea on the stone table, Qingxiang brought the cool tea into his mouth, which immediately made him feel a lot more comfortable, and even the anger in his heart also subsided a lot.

"Zhang Fan does know what Lord Ge is talking about," Zhang Fan thought for a while, and said, "It's just that I'm afraid I'll go to ask about this matter, but it won't have any effect."

"Ah..." Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Ge Shouli sighed a long time, looking very helpless.

"But then again," Zhang Fan couldn't bear seeing him like this, and couldn't help but say, "Zhang Fan understands that Mr. Ge will naturally not go to find Eunuch Feng, but Zhang Fan doesn't understand. Why didn't Master Ge go to someone else's teacher, Master Zhang? Although I am a student of the teacher, this is only three years. Speaking of which, Master Ge, who has been an official in the same dynasty as the teacher for nearly [-] years, The two of you are more familiar with each other, why did Mr. Ge come to me first?"

"Ah..." Sighing again, Ge Shouli said even more helplessly, "Don't you think I never thought about it, it's just... If something like this happened two months ago, when the late emperor was still alive, I would I will definitely discuss it with Mr. Zhang first, but now..."

What was Ge Shouli worried about? Seeing his appearance, Zhang Fan immediately began to think about it. If ordinary people, those who don’t know the inside story, heard Ge Shouli’s words, they would definitely feel that Ge Shouli would not go to Zhang Juzheng to discuss it. It is because now, Zhang Juzheng has mixed up with Feng Bao, plus Zhang Juzheng wrote to Feng Bao that Gao Gong wanted to join him in overthrowing Feng Bao. It's already known to everyone, and it's probably Feng Bao's good deed.

However, Zhang Fan understood that what Ge Shouli said was not because of this incident. He said that two months ago, this incident had not happened, Long Qing was still dying on the sick bed, and Gao Gong did not want to join forces with Zhang Juzheng. The idea of ​​defeating Feng Bao together, but Ge Shouli began to have such a distrustful attitude towards Zhang Juzheng since then, obviously not because of Zhang Juzheng's whistleblowing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan's complexion also darkened. In fact, he also noticed this matter, but it was not as early as Ge Shouli. In addition, the words Gao Gong said to him before he left a few days ago, let him Zhang Fan, who was still skeptical at first, gradually became more certain in his heart.

"Huh," Ge Shouli was a little surprised seeing Zhang Fan's pensive look, "You also felt this thing."

Looking at Ge Shouli, although Zhang Fan really didn't want to admit it, he finally nodded his head, expressing that he already knew.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Zhang Fan is so young now, but you have this kind of vision," Ge Shouli couldn't help sighing, "I'm afraid there are only a few people in the court who can see this matter. But the old man really didn't expect that there is your name Zhang Fan in it, I'm afraid even Zhang Juzheng himself didn't notice this matter, right?"

"I'm ashamed to say," Zhang Fan said, "I found out about this very late, and because of my identity as a teacher, I was very skeptical about it until..."

"Until..." Seeing Zhang Fan stopped here, Ge Shouli couldn't help asking, "Could something happen?"

"No, that's not true," Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "Until that day, when Mr. Gao was expelled from the capital, he said something to me. It was those words that made me confirm my thoughts."

Zhang Fan stopped here, and both of them became silent.

"Actually..." After a while, Zhang Fan opened his mouth and said, "It's a bit strange to say that Mr. Gao didn't agree with me when he said it, but what he said to me the day before he left, I really have some feelings in my heart. Believe it,"

Ge Shouli listened to Zhang Fan's words quietly, but didn't say anything.

Sometimes, things are so strange, the so-called "a person who is about to die, his words are also good", although Gao Gong has not yet reached the day of his death, but that day marks the official end of his career as an official. It's over, and Gao Gong is already at such an age, coupled with the current momentum of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, there will be absolutely no day when he will be restored to office in the future. For Gao Gong, this is another way of doing things It was "dying", at this time, Gao Gong couldn't help but make people disbelieve what he said.

"The so-called impermanence of the world, who knows that there will be such a day," Ge Shouli said with a sigh, the emotion contained in it is really embarrassing.

"I already understand why Mr. Ge came to see me today." As if he didn't want to talk about that matter anymore, Zhang Fan changed the topic, "Mr. Ge's thoughts are understood by Zhang Fan, and he admires them very much, but now , I'm afraid Zhang Fan can't do anything about it."

"Is there no other way?" Seeing Zhang Fan's words, Ge Shouli couldn't help becoming anxious, "Now that Gao Gong has left, the court finally has a stable life, no matter what Zhang Juzheng says, he is also very talented in governing the country. Poor, coupled with the fact that the world is peaceful now, and the government and the government are well-informed, it is a good time, but Feng Bao refuses to let go, and the methods are even more vicious. In less than a month, how many people He was quietly kicked out of the officialdom.

"That's right, most of these people were people who had some relationship with Gao Gong before, but some of them were forced to do so, and some of them were extremely talented, but because of the situation at that time, they had no choice but to stand beside Gao Gong. Besides, some people never offended Feng Bao at all.

"But look, what Feng Bao is doing now, regardless of whether that person is talented or not, and whether that person has helped Gao Gong offend him before, as long as he has a relationship with Gao Gong, Feng Bao will They would never let them go, they were all convicted, they found an unreliable reason, and they were all sent back to their hometowns.

"Right now, how many people have been implicated for no reason. Even if the old man doesn't say anything about the current situation in the court, you must know it. Maybe you know it better than the old man. In the current court, no one dares to speak at all. Although now There is nothing wrong with each other, but if things go on like this, there will be big problems after all, "

"Master Ge's hard work, Zhang Fan understands, and Zhang Fan really admires it." Zhang Fan sat upright, looked at Ge Shouli with a serious face and said, "It's just that Zhang Fan has thought of these things in his heart. However, does Lord Ge think that Zhang Fan is really the kind of person who is indifferent to everything? If so, Lord Ge probably wouldn't come here today to look for me.

"Zhang Fan has been the commander of Jinyiwei for the past two years. To be honest, the thought of being loyal to the country is still there, but it is no longer as enthusiastic as it was back then. In the past two years, Zhang Fan has seen Yes, I have seen a lot, and I understand a lot. On the day Gao Gong left, Zhang Fan already guessed that this kind of thing would happen, and Zhang Fan wanted to stop it, but Zhang Fan thought for a long time. But there was nothing he could do.

"It's not that Zhang Fan cherishes his current power too much and doesn't want to fight against Feng Bao. It's just that Zhang Fan found that Feng Bao is determined to wash away the 'shame' that Gao Gong once brought to him. Take the teacher as an example. Well, it's not that he didn't try to persuade Feng Bao, but no matter who persuaded Feng Bao about this matter, Feng Bao didn't appreciate it at all, on the contrary, it was even worse, and now the only Queen Mother Li who can cure Feng Bao didn't hear about it Do not ask.

"The teacher has no hope of persuading this, and now he doesn't persuade anymore. He doesn't care about Feng Bao's actions, and sometimes he will do something to help Feng Bao. In this situation, how can Mr. Ge ask Zhang Fan to help?" ah,"

There was no pause in what Zhang Fan said, and this was exactly what Zhang Fan really thought.

After listening to Zhang Fayou's words, Ge Shouli stared at him for a long time, then sighed more helplessly, and said: "You are right, this old man is too wishful thinking, it seems that this matter, I have to find it myself Zhang Juzheng, no, the old man will go directly to Feng Bao to ask for clarification, and I will take my leave."

After speaking, Ge Shouli got up and left.

Seeing Ge Shouli's leaving back, Zhang Fan wanted to persuade him to stay, but he couldn't say a word.
