When Wei Chao heard Feng Bao's words, he was astonished, and he had no idea how many thoughts were running through his mind. His first reaction was that Feng Bao might be desperate, kill him as the messenger, and wander around the world incognito - if he and
Feng Bao was in a different place, so it was very likely that he would do this.
But what followed was huge doubts. Why did the emperor want Feng Bao to die? Because he was always with him, the Wei Dynasty knew that the emperor and Feng Bao had always cooperated very well. The emperor even praised Feng Bao for controlling public opinion in Jiangnan last year, claiming that
It is necessary to give Feng Bao the power to make decisions on the fly and deal with matters at his convenience, so as to avoid secret exchanges and missing the opportunity of "war of public opinion".
However, today the emperor went to a lot of trouble and sent him to deliver a letter and poison to kill Feng Bao. Although the Wei Dynasty was a messenger, Zhu Yijun did not tell him how to do it. He only told him to let Feng Bao read the letter first when he arrived at the place, and then listen to Feng Bao.
Guaranteed to be cut off.
Although Wei Chao is young, he is thoughtful. After training with Zhu Yijun for several years, he has become more thoughtful. At this time, Feng Bao's guard has been broken. When the two first met, the "future, laid-off ancestors' dispute" has disappeared.
Without a trace, he made a decision in a flash of his mind.
Suppressing the urge to rush out of the door, Wei Chao said with a look of surprise on his face: "How could this be? Before our family left, the emperor did not issue an edict to kill my father-in-law. Could it be that you misunderstood?"
After saying this, he moved a few steps forward to get the emperor's letter to Feng Bao from the major case to see what the emperor said. "Collect as much information as possible before making a decision" is exactly what Zhu Yijun said to the people around him.
Teach by words and deeds.
At this time, Feng Bao felt as if he were mourning for his heir, sitting hunched on the chair with no intention of stopping him. Wei Chao easily got the letter.
When he looked down, he saw that it was indeed written by Zhu Yijun himself. There was no title on the paper and not many words. As soon as he read the first sentence, a question mark appeared on his head.
What is written in the first column is: "Revenge makes the wind and dust blow, and the bamboo and silk are blown into the brocade." The Wei Dynasty who studied in the inner library knew that this was a line from "Yan Huai" written by the great poet Lu You of the Song Dynasty, but he did not know that it was
What's the meaning.
The whole poem expresses Lu You's depression as he grows old and resists Jin Wucheng. What does the emperor mean when he writes it to Feng Bao? Wei Dynasty's Seven Skills and Exquisiteness. My heart is racing so fast that I can't figure out how to interpret this poem.
.
The second column reads: "Those who know me do not know me." This Wei Dynasty knew better. This is an interception from the "Book of Songs" in "Those who know me say that I am worried; those who do not know me say that I want nothing."
"Two sentences, but he was still confused.
What is written in the third column is: "There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches, and the heart is happy for you, but you don't know it." This is even more outrageous. The Wei Dynasty did not know the source, but it is obviously a love poem about a woman who has a crush on a man, similar to an obscene ditty.
At this time, the Wei Dynasty had completely given up on solving the emperor's riddle.
The fourth column reads: "If you don't see me, I will accept the words on the left, and accept the history on the right. I will accept my kindness in the morning, and I will give you death in the evening." Well, the Wei Dynasty understood this sentence. This sentence comes from Bai Letian's "Taihang Road", the whole poem
They all use the relationship between husband and wife to satirize the rebellion between the emperor and his ministers. The emperor indeed has the intention to die here, but it depends on how Feng Bao understands it.
The fifth column reads: "All the injustices accumulated in the world are wiped out, and the hidden dragon's silver box collects the treasures." The source of this poem is unknown to the literary level of the Wei Dynasty, but Feng Bao read it and asked him for a silver medal.
Box comes from this sentence, but it is something that has just happened.
The last column of the letter paper was a row of small characters, which read "Burn after the Wei Dynasty monitors it". When Feng Bao opened the box, there was no memorial inside, only a bag of arsenic. It didn't matter that the Wei Dynasty didn't understand the first few lines of the poem. The emperor really wanted it.
It is certain that Feng Bao was given death and ordered to monitor him.
He was holding this letter with no beginning and no end, and didn't know what to say. When he looked at Feng Bao, he saw him hanging his head in tears, as if his bones had been ripped away, and he couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart that even surprised him -
-This may be a case of things being kind to their own kind.
He shook the letter paper in his hand and said to Feng Bao: "To be honest, I didn't understand a word of it - but the emperor ordered me to burn this letter, and I want to burn it."
When Feng Bao heard this, he looked up at him, wiped away his tears, and seemed to have regained his arrogance and calmness before, and said hoarsely: "Burn it, it's all engraved in my heart."
When Wei Chao heard this, he first picked up the fire sickle from Feng Bao's case, lit the glazed oil lamp, and then put the letter on the fire and burned it. He organized his words and said: "Although I don't know why the emperor attacked you, but the last two sentences
I understand, but I wonder how Mr. Feng plans to deal with it?"
He said in his heart that when a person encounters a major change in life and death, he might do something. Although he had no enmity with Feng Bao, it was not impossible for Feng Bao to kill him before escaping to express his dissatisfaction with the emperor. Therefore, it was not impossible.
, he told the truth that he had no intention of asking Feng Bao to commit suicide immediately. After all, for Feng Bao, whether he killed himself or not had nothing to do with his escape.
Feng Bao heard the voice of his words, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "How can you violate the emperor's order? You don't have to worry, the emperor believes in you and will not trap you to death - the people around me can't kill you either."
After finishing this sentence, I don't know how to touch my feelings again, and I shed tears.
Wei Chao was in a panic. He didn't dare to believe Feng Bao's words, but he didn't dare to urge him to take poison and die. He had no choice but to find something to say: "Why don't you call your nephew in and say a few words?" Still showing his desire.
The meaning of Feng Bao’s last words.
Feng Bao said: "No need, it's just sentimental." Pointing to the three pieces of paper on the table, he said: "That's the suicide note."
After hearing this, Wei Chao sighed a few times and said: "Eunuch Feng and I are both companions. There are some things that can only be said according to the time and destiny. There is nothing you can do. I don't know if you have any unfinished words that you want me to convey to the emperor.
Of?"
After hearing this, Feng Bao thought to himself, "You finally understand what you are here for today." With a smile on his face, he said: "Well, in the letter the emperor gave me, I have already read everything I want to explain to the emperor.
It must be made clear that I will die without regrets. Thank you, just echo these words to the emperor."
Wei Chao scratched his head and really couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to kill Feng Bao. Feng Bao ignored his doubts and said: "As for the arrangements for Jiangnan affairs, I suggest that the emperor does not need to recall Li Xiushan and let him continue. He
There were a lot of people who participated before, so I got started quickly.”
Wei Chao listened, and Su Rong agreed. Feng Bao stood up, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, pushed the door open, and a gust of cold wind rushed in. He took a deep breath, and suddenly smiled: "Good wind! Good luck!
!" Feng Bangning, who was standing in the middle of the yard and stamping his feet, saw him push open the door and raised his hand to say hello.
Feng Bao smiled at Feng Bangning and closed the door again. He turned around and walked quickly to the medicine bag for the major case and held it in his palm. He turned to look at Wei Chao and said with a smile: "When will you figure it out?"
The meaning of what the emperor said today is that you have the qualifications to become the 'ancestor' of all eunuchs."
After saying this, he poured the medicinal noodles in the paper bag into his mouth and said, "Wood slag, it has no taste." He took the tea cup, took a big sip, and flushed the medicine into his abdomen.
middle.
After drinking the medicine, he saw Wei Chao staring straight at him with red eyes, as if he was about to shed tears. Feng Bao said, "I wonder when it will happen?" After walking back to the case, he slowly sat down and looked at Wei Chao who had just ordered.
Bright oil lamp.
Wei Chao didn't say a word, sitting there quietly, thinking about his future, and gradually became crazy.
He knew that being with a king is like being with a tiger, and he also knew a lot about how to preserve his service skills, so he couldn't understand why Feng Bao, who had already gained everything, was exposed and expelled in the first place, and he couldn't even understand what Feng Bao had done.
He was actually sentenced to death by the emperor.
From what Feng Bao meant, he probably couldn't figure it out before he climbed to a higher position. The emperor wrote so obscurely, so this matter must be very important, and in order to live a good life, he didn't need to think too much about it.
——Think less about things that have nothing to do with serving the emperor, so you can live longer. This is what his godfather Zhang Jing taught him.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Bao again. Feng Bao's godfather was Li Fang, and Zhang Jing's godfather was Zhang Hong. None of the ceremonial officials who accompanied the emperor seemed to have died a good death. He himself
Although a road leading to the sky is stuck, there is Sun Qian ahead, and I...
A sudden cough interrupted Wei Chao's thoughts, and Feng Bao, who was behind the big case, stood up. He said to Wei Chao with a puzzled look on his face: "After eating so much, my stomach should have hurt by now, why not?"
How do you feel?" As he said this, he rubbed his belly with his hands, as if he wanted to quickly digest the red crane crown and get it over with.
Wei Chao opened his mouth and remembered what he heard from the old man in the palace. If the redness from the crown of a crane enters the belly, it will immediately make a person miserable. A little bit the size of a fingernail will definitely kill a person in a quarter of an hour. Feng Bao ate close to a tablespoon. Why?
Nothing happened for such a long time?
When he was confused, he saw Feng Bao facing the north, kneeling down with a plop, crying loudly!
