Chapter 584: Light and Darkness
Thinking about Zhang Juzheng's plan, Zhang Fan has no reason to stop him anymore, on the contrary, Zhang Fan, who understands Zhang Juzheng's intentions, is also quite optimistic about Zhang Juzheng at the moment, after all, under Zhang Juzheng's current identity and environment, he can still have the mind to apologize, it is really not easy, it can be described as impossible, and Zhang Juzheng plans to do this, then he should be worthy of the respect of others.
Thinking about this, Zhang Fan no longer insisted on anything.
"In that case, then the students will go first," Mr. Zhang said.
"Well," nodded, Zhang Juzheng actually joked, "If you have something to do, just go, I don't have to worry about you here, maybe you're afraid that I won't be able to meet a bad guy halfway,"
"The teacher laughed, in that case, the student said goodbye," Zhang Fan said and turned to leave.
Looking at Zhang Fan's departing figure, Zhang Juzheng's smile did not fall, but there was a trace of melancholy in the smile, obviously, what Zhang Fan thought of, Zhang Juzheng himself also understood, he knew that he had made great efforts to go to Ge Shouli to apologize to him this time, and he also understood that Ge Shouli was not a hypocritical person, he would naturally accept it.
But Zhang Juzheng also understands that even if Ge Shouli accepts his apology this time, it does not mean that he and Ge Shouli will really be able to release their previous suspicions, just like the mirror like a jade artifact, once there is a crack, even if it is repaired by a skilled craftsman with ingenuity, there is no flaw in it, but the crack is always there, and it has become a hidden danger buried deep in it.
Zhang Juzheng doesn't know what kind of things will happen in the future to expose this hidden danger, but at the very least, the top priority in front of him now is to be solved, if there are any problems in the future, it will be a matter for the future, and it would be too impatient and irrational to think about it now.
In short, things are in the moment, and that's all there is to it.
And Zhang Fan, the time between him and Zhang Juzheng just now really made him very happy, and he understood that Zhang Juzheng, as his husband, still made him have a sense of respect.
Speaking of which, Zhang Fan is really a little disrespectful, after all, a teacher for a day is a teacher for life, since Zhang Fan is already worshipping under Zhang Juzheng's door, then Zhang Juzheng's name as his teacher cannot be changed, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what changes Zhang Fan will make, and no matter whether Zhang Juzheng's actions are good or bad in the future, this cannot be changed.
However, what Zhang Juzheng did before was indeed unreasonable, but even then, Zhang Fan was not happy in his heart while he had doubts about Zhang Juzheng.
However, this situation is not unique to Zhang Fan, let alone others, let's just say that Zhang Juzheng himself back then, how could it not be the case between him and his teacher Xu Jie, because Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie's political views and views on the future are different, and there is a great conflict between the master and apprentice, but even Xu Jie, who is a master, is extremely unsuitable for Zhang Juzheng, an apprentice, but Zhang Juzheng has no action against Xu Jie.
It's just that later, Zhang Juzheng really didn't make any moves, when Gao Gong made small moves behind his back and got Xu Jie off the stage, the ministers in the court were also indifferent because of what Xu Jie did on weekdays, and no one stood up to speak for Xu Jie, of course, Zhang Juzheng didn't.
Everyone understands this matter very well, even Zhang Fan, who was in Mobei at the time, knew it, at that time, if Zhang Juzheng could stand up and say a word or two for Xu Jie, then the situation behind would definitely not be what it is now, don't look at Zhang Juzheng alone, but others are not weak, plus although Emperor Longqing at that time was already extremely disgusted with Xu Jie, but he was extremely appreciative of Zhang Juzheng, a talented minister under him, If Zhang Juzheng could stand up and say a few words for Xu Jie, Xu Jie would definitely not have given his way to the office in advance, although he had honor, he left the court gloomily.
Why didn't Zhang Juzheng say it, the reasons are already on the surface, because Zhang Juzheng himself understands that if he stands up to speak for Xu Jie, Xu Jie's will definitely be able to stay, but he also understands that Xu Jie's will never change his own political opinions because he once stood up for him, helped him help his official position, and let his glory continue for a few more years, Xu Jie's stubbornness is quite famous.
Therefore, since Zhang Juzheng understands that if he stands up and speaks for Xu Jie, he may get a few words of appreciation, but when Xu Jie's path is still blocked, and Xu Jie's way is gone, replaced by a Gao Gong who is bent on revenge and is not very sober, it will naturally be much easier to deal with.
And now, between Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng's master and apprentice, it seems that they have gone to the old way again, of course, Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng both understand it in their hearts, but no one wants to say it.
In fact, the position Zhang Fan is standing in at the moment can be said to be much more embarrassing than Zhang Juzheng's time, it is true that Zhang Fan also has lofty ambitions in his heart, but those things, some of which are complementary to what Zhang Juzheng wants to achieve, and some are what Zhang Fan can't say to outsiders.
In short, in fact, there is no conflict between Zhang Fan today, or even Zhang Fan in the future, and Zhang Juzheng, as for his desire to use some methods that will be shameful to the world in the future to achieve his ambitions, if he really says it, Zhang Juzheng may not understand or support it.
However, in fact, the two of them also understand that the current reconciliation does not mean that there will be no more conflicts in the future, and no one can say anything about moral matters, even if Zhang Fan at this moment is already trying to understand what kind of scene there will be in the future, but now for him, it is possible to turn his face or unite with Zhang Juzheng for the sake of righteousness.
Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng's eyes showed a melancholy look, and some things were really not taken for granted.
And Zhang Fan, at least at this moment, didn't think about it so much, he only knew that coming to Zhang Juzheng's place today made him feel a lot better, but this was only limited to Zhang Juzheng's home, as soon as he walked out of the door of Zhang's house, Zhang Fan began to worry again.
"My lord," Seeing Zhang Fan walking out, Liang Chao took the lead in greeting him, and said, "Fang Cai has asked Weizhong's brother to prepare the dossier of the two ladies in the past few months, do you want to read it now?"
Hearing Liang Chao mention this matter, Zhang Fan's good mood just now collapsed again, yes, the joy just now made him forget that he still had such a troublesome private matter to deal with.
But even if he was troubled again, it was naturally impossible for Zhang Fan to ignore this matter, nodding, he said to Liang Chao: "I'll go now," As he spoke, Zhang Fan had already turned over and got on the horse.
Seeing this, Liang Chao seemed to realize that what he said was a little out of place, and he lost Zhang Fan's good mood, and he didn't see the smile on his face when Zhang Fan came out just now, but after listening to what he said, he became gloomy.
Thinking of this, Liang Chao also regretted it very much, but the words he said were like water spilled out, the so-called water is difficult to collect, since the words have been spoken, then there is no need to have any scruples, turned over and got on the horse, thought of the other subordinates nodded, and a few people walked towards the yamen of the Jinyi Guard.
Holding the reins in his hand, Zhang Fan was indeed troubled by this matter, and after reading those files, he might not be able to understand what happened immediately, but at least he could begin to understand.
Maybe it's really nothing, after all, in Zhang Fan's opinion, Yingyue and Zhaoxue look like nothing at all, and he can't see it himself, if it's just Yingyue, Zhang Fan can still figure it out, but Zhaoxue is also an ordinary person, which makes Zhang Fan feel that there is a problem.
However, if Zhao Xue doesn't feel that she has done anything wrong, then maybe it is really not a big deal, and she is a little concerned about it.
Jinyiwei's yamen, no, it should be said to be one of the yamen, it is not as hidden as the others, on the contrary, he is set up in one of the widest streets in the capital, which may make people feel a little incomprehensible, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, most of the "deeds" done by Jinyiwei should be secret and unsightly, but its yamen is located in such a bright and upright place, which is naturally incomprehensible.
Maybe this is just like the East Factory, the bad things in the East Factory are really not less, but the place where I just entered is still hung with the portrait of Prince Yue to show loyalty.
It seems that these are really weird, but you only need to think about it carefully, you can figure it out, although Jinyiwei is now in a hurry to do this kind of thing, but in the final analysis, it is the emperor's personal guard, and there is nothing unusual.
And Dongchang is even more so, he is also an organization that obeys the emperor's orders, and loyalty is naturally what they should follow.
It's just that for so many years in the Ming Dynasty, almost every year has been an eventful year, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei all play an important role in it, not to mention outsiders, even themselves, often forget their own essence, but essence is essence, it will be buried, but it will never be forgotten.
Zhang Fan's horse stopped at the gate of the yamen, and naturally he received an order and learned that Zhang Fan was coming over to come out to greet him.
And Zhang Fan was worried in his heart at the moment, and he didn't have too many greetings, just said a few words of the scene and went in.
And those people also understood that Zhang Fan was in a bad mood, and they didn't go too far.
