Oh, yes. The question is back on track. Zhang Fan asked Liang Chao about them at first. What exactly are you trying to ask? Although the answer just now did let Zhang Fan know something new. And those are the topics he is interested in. Although it is a digression. But that's what he wants to know.

And. Although it is indeed a little embarrassing to say. But fortunately, in the end, it ended in a relatively cheerful way. And no one was in any trouble because of that. That's a good thing.

Merely. After laughing. Liang Chao began to wonder again. What Zhang Fan wanted to tell him at first. In the end, Zhang Fan is their superior. What is the question that needs to be asked of them?

Heard Liang Chao ask. Zhang Fan's face showed a somewhat helpless expression. said: "Actually. What I want to ask. I've already told you about it. Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. That's why I'm going to ask you to answer something else. ”

Zhang Fan's expression seemed to be very helpless. It was as if he had done something wrong by asking those words. And actually. Zhang Fanyue is so. The more it made Liang Chao and others a little worried. After all, one comes. From Zhang Fan's own point of view. He didn't ask anything wrong. It's just that there are some things he doesn't want to be known to everyone. Even if Zhang Juzheng is about to implement the "Examination Law" in the DPRK, it can now be regarded as clear to the world. Almost all the people who have the slightest relationship with the imperial court know it. But Zhang Fan still doesn't want to be so straightforward. After all, he also understood. Liang Chao, who is a brocade guard, understands a lot of things. They also want to be in high positions and power. I will be able to learn more about it in the future. But where they are now. But I don't want to get involved in such a thing at all.

Second. In fact, I looked at it from the perspective of Liang Chao and others. Zhang Fan is the commander of Jinyiwei. And Liang Chao and others are his subordinates. Ultimately. Zhang Fan is their top boss. And it is in the hands of real power. The unquestionable boss at the top.

As Zhang Fan, if you want to ask them something. Even if it's hard to say. No more anachronistic things. Liang Chao: These are subordinates. There is no way to refute or have any dissatisfaction with Zhang Fan. After all. The overall structure of this society is hierarchical. This strictness is not only reflected in the big building of the country. This is true even within an organization. And organizations like Jinyiwei, which belong to the imperial court, are even more so. What orders did the upper echelons have. The lower echelons have no right to raise objections.

So in general, it is. Even how difficult it was for Zhang Fan to ask them. Difficult to answer. Even the most personal questions. None of them had the right to show any objection to Zhang Fan. And it still has to be answered truthfully. Of course. You can also lie. It depends on whether your lies are round or not. Can you fool people perfectly? It's naturally good to be deceived. If you can't deceive it, that's a big crime to deceive your superiors.

In a word. Zhang Fan didn't need to apologize to Liang Chao at all. But Zhang Fan is doing it now. This made Liang Chao and the others feel a little at a loss for a while.

"Adults must not do that." Liang Chao hurriedly said. His complexion is no longer as calm or full of smiles as before. Instead, it was replaced with a slightly panicked look. Said. "Your Excellency is a Shangguan. The lowly ones are the subordinates of the adults. What Shangguan asked. Even if it's hard to answer. Even if it is a private matter involving a lowly person. Inferior people may be able to deceive adults. Don't even say anything. But the lowly people do not dare to be angry with the adults at all. Please be aware of this point. ”

Zhang Fan didn't mean anything in the first place. These words were only said by himself because the question he had just asked was not very appropriate. It's just an unintentional self-apology. But nowadays. He found that things didn't seem to be like that at all. Liang Chao and others seem to be taking it seriously. And it's also quite important to this matter.

Nonsense. How can you not value it. Zhang Fan, he is Liang Chao's superior. And he is not an ordinary official of the yamen. It is the official of the Yamen of Jinyiwei. If you don't value this kind of thing, you don't really care. That will be a death penalty in the future. Although Zhang Fan is a good person. has been in charge of Jinyiwei for several years. His subordinates were very fond of him. Let's put it bluntly. Zhang Fan made these people agree with him as a commander in a short period of time. Even. Today's Zhang Fan will not have too many whispers for them to die.

But Zhang Fan's kindness in this regard. It's just because of Zhang Fan's personal reasons. But from a business point of view. Zhang Fan is indeed selfless. Discuss this kind of thing. It is true that mistakes have been made. Even if Zhang Fan is benevolent. But that doesn't mean it's about business. Zhang Fan will show some kind appearance.

So. Liang Chao and others will be so serious now. I'm afraid that Zhang Fan has some misunderstanding.

But. It seems that Zhang Fan hasn't reacted for a while.

But Zhang Fan is also a smart person. When he saw Liang Chao and them like this. My mind shifted slightly. Then I understood. Truly. He didn't care. But in the face of his own subordinates. This is indeed something that cannot be joked about.

In order to make Liang Chao and others feel at ease. Zhang Fan planned to explain the matter to them: "This is my negligence. Merely. I just wanted to ask. If you have any official duties sent by the guards on weekdays. And on the way, I have already received a clear order from above. What should be done is a rigid rule. But when you actually do it. Will there be any change. Of course. I don't mean you have any selfish motives about this change. It's not that I want to rebel against Shangguan or anything. It's just your own opinion. It's better to do that way. That's why it's changed temporarily.

"I want to ask. If this were the case for you. If the matter is known to someone else or to a superior. There won't be any trouble. And also. In case it is known. Even if their colleagues or superiors disagree. But if you think you're doing the right thing. That's how it should be. Will it still be the same?

"And there's that. If there's really some trouble. Do you think you can still do that? ”

Zhang Fan's words. It sounds like a tirade. And it definitely sounds rather verbose. But he had to say so. I had to abandon that concise way of speaking. It is precisely because of the reason just now. Let Zhang Fan really not let his subordinates have even a little misunderstanding.

In the beginning, his goal was the same. But it was because he really didn't want Liang Chao and others to be too involved in too many things related to the "Examination Law" at that time. After all, this matter is extremely troublesome. Even people like him and Zhang Juzheng, who are in high positions, now have a feeling that they are deeply involved. And if you let Liang Chao know. Maybe it's because of their status. It won't get you in any trouble when the time comes. But Zhang Fan didn't want to bother his subordinates with this kind of thing that he and Zhang Juzheng couldn't solve quickly and perfectly. It can be seen that Zhang Fan is very considerate of his subordinates.

The second is. Zhang Fan really didn't want to make himself nervous under the tree. That's why he had been so obsessive in asking such a question before. It's just that Zhang Fan really didn't expect it. It's a bit of a good idea to do something bad by doing it yourself. Not only did it not make them relax. On the contrary, it made them nervous.

And actually. Although the previous words did not let Zhang Fan get what he wanted to know. But it was true that there was no tension. The main thing is still in the back. Zhang Fan, as a senior official, actually wanted to apologize to his subordinates. It didn't come to be. After all, you know to apologize for doing something wrong. That's a good thing. But herein lies the problem. Actually, from an objective point of view. Or from the perspective of Liang Chao and others as subordinates. Zhang Fan really didn't do anything wrong. own Shangguan. Apologize to your subordinates for not doing anything wrong. This feels like it's not allowed. It's not just outsiders who don't allow it. Even those of them who are subordinates are not allowed. This will make it difficult for them to do it in the future.

And Zhang Fan himself is also aware of this. So when he questioned again. He explained the question in detail. It's even verbose. But what he called was to let Liang Chao and the others completely understand what they meant. And what exactly you want to ask. Don't have any more misunderstandings like you just did.

Merely. Even if Zhang Fan did it. Although the hearts of Liang Chao and others were a little calm. But it is not completely relieved. Because in their opinion. Zhang Fan did so. Make it so clear. Let them hear clearly. This in itself is a means of apology that Zhang Fan has imposed on them.

But. Now the words have spoken to this point. If it's a matter of struggling with something. It just makes things harder. So here it is. And they said no more. Begin to think carefully about the question Zhang Fan asked. I thought about how to answer.

"Your Excellency." I thought about it. Liang Chao said. "If that's the question. There are some debatable points. ”

"Oh." Hear Liang Chao's words. Zhang Fan showed a solemn expression.
