Chapter 1723 Continue to serve the emperor in another way
Just after the Spring Festival, Wang An is about to return to Beijing.
He had been visiting Taiwan for several days, and with Ma Dong accompanying him to explain and introduce him, he basically had a clear understanding of the situation in Taiwan.
In Taiwan these days, I am with Ma Dong every day, and the relationship between the two is undoubtedly further.
I also had two conversations with Sister Wang Xi, but they all revolved around Zhu Changluo.
Wang An clearly informed the thoughts of Empress Zheng and the two empress dowagers, because he knew that with Sister Wang Xi's mind, he would definitely think of these things, so there was no need to hide them.
The most talked about was Zhu Changluo's growth and safety issues. Wang An felt that Sister Wang Xi's ideas on this issue were surprisingly consistent with him.
This means that Zhu Changluo doesn’t have to worry about others, it’s enough to have Sister Wang Xi.
Wang An left with confidence.
The only regret is that the gangsters who attacked them had not found any clues and didn't know who it was.
Ma Dong is still pursuing this matter.
After all, the letter from the emperor to them has been received, and I saw the emperor's determination to deal with Japan again.
When he returned to Fujian, Wang An hoped to be attacked by bandits again, but unfortunately he did not. He landed in Fujian safely.
Then head north all the way.
...
Feng Bao accompanied Zhu Yili to spend the Spring Festival in Liaodong and was preparing to leave for the trip and return to Beijing.
His purpose in Liaodong has been achieved.
This time, like when I was in Jiangling City, I had no position, just a big idle person.
He admitted that he had changed.
Especially in terms of mentality.
I remember how angry I was when I was driven out of the capital by Emperor Wanli, so I went with Zhang Juzheng and Pan Jixun and wanted to give Zhu Yili a hand.
The result was successful.
Let Zhu Yili successfully replace him.
At that time, Feng Bao was still eager to return to Beijing to serve and continue his former glory. Zhu Yili also made him successfully realize his wish and served as the chief supervisor of the Sili for the second time.
But he had the desire to retreat in the second half of last year.
In fact, it can be traced back to when he returned from Nanjing.
At that time, he felt that he was still comfortable and comfortable after leaving, but he didn't want to leave Zhu Yiliu.
Later, with the changes in the situation and Wang An's rapid rise, he became more determined to retreat.
A person's mentality has changed at every stage. When he served as the Sili Supervisor for the second time, he definitely did not expect to want to retreat so soon.
If it were a few years ago, he would never have thought that he would have become indifferent to fame and fortune now. He doesn't care about fame and fortune, nor does he care about money.
It's completely different from the one he had before.
He has indeed changed. As the emperor's "companion", he feels that the emperor has not changed?
Haven't it changed the same way?
Now the emperor has become steady, calm, much polite to others, and no longer whispers.
It turned out that the emperor wanted to punish and repair anyone who didn't like him, but now he seems to be able to accept all unreasonable phenomena and no longer aims to punish others.
The emperor pretends to be big things in his heart, so he will naturally no longer be entangled in a certain person or a small thing.
The emperor's state of mind changed, and Feng Bao felt that he could retreat with peace of mind and at the right time.
But like Zhang Juzheng, even if he retires, he can continue to serve and serve the emperor.
Just like this time, it seems to be a more personal issue to come to Liaodong for Zhu Zai, but because Zhu Zai's special identity and is a member of the royal family, it was also for the sake of the overall situation.
After all, the emperor invited Zhu Zai to Beijing to demonstrate his policy towards the royal family and told the world that royal family members could also go to Beijing to be officials.
As long as you have the ability, talent and willingness, the royal family can also be valued by the court.
Zhu Zaiyou cooperated very well and came here.
As a result, the monthly income is not enough and the support from home is needed to support it. What do people think?
Especially the royal family, will they feel that Zhu Zai-chan is not doing well? Look, he is actually living such a miserable life in accordance with the emperor's policies.
In this way, someone will inevitably doubt the emperor's policies.
At this time, the worse Zhu Zai's life was, the more doubts the royal family would be. Some people even secretly laughed, wanting to see the emperor's policy failure and then take it as a joke.
Only by letting Zhu Zai-chan live a good life can it be considered a typical success.
So, this matter seems to be a matter between individuals, but it is actually a big deal.
When he came, Feng Bao himself hadn't thought of this. He was purely concerned about Zhu Zai's, and felt that geniuses like Zhu Zai's should get more rewards, rather than living a tight life like he is now.
Later, after several conversations with the emperor, he realized that this was a matter between individuals.
After all, the emperor originally promoted Zhu Zai's name as a typical royal family member.
From this perspective, Feng Bao is of course still continuing to serve the emperor in another way.
So he left Liaodong with satisfaction. Although he is now indifferent to fame and fortune, it is also a happy thing to be able to continue serving the emperor.
He took off his post as the chief of the Sili Supervisor, just to stay away from the quarrels, not to stay away from the emperor.
On the contrary, because of his closeness to the emperor, he was not only the emperor's "companion", but also the one who actively put the emperor on the throne with Zhang Juzheng.
Therefore, of course, I want to continue to maintain a close relationship with the emperor, because it is caused by emotions, and for safety reasons, because I am not afraid of being plotted against by people who have offended him.
After all, there were too many people he had offended.
Once he stepped down from his position, if he did not have the protection of the emperor, he would not know how miserable his own evening scene would be. It would be great like Zhang Juzheng, stay away from disputes and be favored by the emperor.
If you want to win the favor of the emperor, can you continue to serve the emperor?
He had personally told the emperor about this view.
On the one hand, the emperor expressed his understanding, but on the other hand, he promised that even if he did not continue to serve, as a hero who retired, he would receive special care.
But Feng Bao thought that he would not care about anything, which was different from the care he received when he continued to serve and served.
Just like the care of Zhang Juzheng, can it be the same as Liang Menglong, Yan Qing and the others who have completely retreated?
Therefore, it is of course the best to continue serving the emperor in another way within your ability.
Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Jing is his best role model to learn from!
Feng Bao understood this very clearly, especially after coming to Liaodong to spend several days with the emperor.
I think that even if I retreat, I can’t do nothing all day long. This way I don’t live a fulfilling life and gradually “staying away” from the emperor’s circle.
After Feng Bao figured out this festival, he happily bid farewell to Zhu Yiliu and left Liaodong. He felt that returning to the capital could lead to another way of living a different style.
Zhu Yiliu was also very pleased about this.
Feng Bao followed him along the way and supported him, and suffered a lot. Now that he saw Feng Bao's mood open, he, the one who is the "master", was of course happy.
