When Feng Bao heard Zhu Yijun's words, he almost became unhappy.
He had served in Prince Yu's Mansion a long time ago, and he had an extremely good understanding of the mentality of the superiors, especially the temperament of the young master Zhu Yijun, and he believed that he knew much better than Gao Pragmatic.
Zhu Yijun is indeed a very smart child, but no matter how smart he is, he is still a child. He has all the tempers that children are accustomed to, and besides his temper, he also has an extremely noble status.
Therefore, most of the time, the people around him can only speak and do things according to his wishes. It is not absolutely impossible to disobey him, but that requires someone bigger than him.
Backing - such as the emperor, such as the concubine, otherwise how can we suppress it?
Of course, Feng Bao already knew that Gao Jingshi was a smart man. Otherwise, even if he was Gao Gong's nephew, he would not be in today's situation. However, he knew better that if Gao Jingshi followed the prince's advice and talked about Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan,
If he deserves the punishment, then he will face trouble.
It's not that Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan have the ability to travel thousands of miles to influence the capital to bring Gao Pangshi, the nephew of a high-ranking elder, to accompany the prince. Although they have a prominent status, they really don't have that ability.
The real problem is that no matter what is written in this memorial, it has now been officially approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, approved by the cabinet, and approved by the Chief of Ceremonies on behalf of the emperor!
At this time, if Gao Pragmatic jumped out and said: "This is not handled correctly, Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan should be punished!" What would that mean? It means that he is opposing the officials, the cabinet, and even questioning the emperor!
You are just a classless prince who is accompanying you as a reading companion. How dare you be so cowardly?
Oh, you said that civil servants can also discuss politics? Haha, I am a civil servant, and that is the reserve talent of the country, but what about you?
First of all, you are not yet a serious scholar; secondly, even if you are, your current status is already an "official", and you are an academic official rather than a public official. The nature of what you are doing is called "questioning the official" or even "questioning the official"
"Father"!
If you have a solid foundation and question your superior, you will be closely watched wherever you serve as an official in the future. There will always be a pair of shoes waiting for you; if you have a solid foundation and question the emperor's father... Haha, if you change to a violent king, an emperor like Jiajing, that would be enough.
He directly moved the staff out of the court, and it was killed in front of the steps!
Historically, Gao Gong, as the first assistant to Gu Ming, said "How can a ten-year-old emperor rule the world?", which led to such a tragic defeat. Isn't it enough to make people realize the principle of "trouble comes from the mouth"? The Qing Dynasty
Didn't a certain gentleman who was very good at being an official sum up the six-character mantra for being an official - kowtow more and talk less?
The truth is nothing better than this.
However, Feng Bao didn't know Gao Pragmatic's "origin" after all, so he made a mistake.
When Gao Pragmatic heard this, he knew that Zhu Yijun had unintentionally dug a hole for himself, and it was a huge hole. In addition to the above reasons, there was another fatal one: if he followed the prince's wishes, he would also offend himself.
The real "backer" - San Bo Gao Gong.
He is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel! The "Bu Fu" of this memorial was given by the Ministry of Personnel!
He is still the one who is really in charge of the cabinet! The approval of the cabinet is also his opinion!
It is conceivable that if Gao Gong knew that Gao Jingshi had done this, the first reaction in his mind would be: On your first day as the prince's companion, are you going to slap me, the third uncle, in the face? Do you deserve a slap?
But after all, Gao Pragmatic was a veteran who had been around the leader for a long time. He just pretended to think deeply before speaking amidst the "eager anticipation" on Factory Supervisor Feng's face.
"Your Highness, in fact, these two people have already been punished."
When Gao pragmatic said this, his face was extremely serious, as if he was stating a major case with solid evidence.
"Um?"
"ah?"
The person who said "Huh?" was Feng Bao, his expression was dull.
The person who said "Huh?" was Zhu Yijun, his expression was one of surprise.
The reason for Feng Bao's sluggishness is that he himself is the eunuch Bingbi who ranks first among the ceremonial supervisors. He has handled this matter from beginning to end. How can there be any punishment for Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan? From the Ministry of Officials to the Cabinet, Tidu
No one mentioned it. After hearing the report, the emperor simply said "I understand" - which meant that he would act in accordance with the cabinet's opinions.
So Feng Bao was stunned. He knew that Gao Pingshi would definitely not lie to the emperor - the prince is also a king. Do you want to deceive the emperor? Even if Feng Bao hated the two uncles and nephews of the Gao family, he did not dare to underestimate the people in front of him.
He was just a "little kid", but he knew that Gao Pragmatic would never be so stupid as to say something that did not exist in front of the prince and that could be easily found out.
Zhu Yijun's "Huh?" was because he thought he had missed something, so he hurriedly picked up the memorial and the draft on the desk and looked at it carefully.
However, even if he checked again and again and even turned over the blank reverse page, he did not see half a word about the treatment of Xu and Liu, let alone punishment.
Zhu Yijun suddenly had a long face: "Gao Shidu! Where did you see the punishment for the two of them? Why didn't I see it?"
Seeing that Zhu Yijun began to formally call him "Gao Shidu" and called himself "Gu", Gao pragmatic knew that the boy was already angry, but he still looked calm and replied respectfully: "Report to the prince
Your Highness, there is literally no punishment, but this... is actually punishment."
After all, he is still a child, and his curiosity is bigger than his temper. After hearing this, Zhu Yijun's first reaction was not "How dare you fucking fool me?" but blurted out: "Uh... why? What kind of punishment is this?
"
Feng Bao's reaction was much faster than Zhu Yijun's. As soon as he heard Gao Pingshi's words, he knew that this boy was probably going to use his words to get rid of the prince. He made a prompt decision and shouted softly: "Gao Shidu! In front of the prince."
, Why are you pretending to be mysterious! If you don’t have real evidence, don’t make any nonsense..."
Gao Wuzhen despised Factory Supervisor Feng in his heart: You are planning to fall into the well, how can I get up from the well quickly? Don’t worry, you two, the competition between us has just begun!
There was no fear on his face, and he remained serious. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have an inappropriate metaphor to explain this matter."
Zhu Yijun frowned, subconsciously thinking that Gao Pragmatic was trying to play some trick, but he was still curious about what he wanted to say, so he said: "That's right, I'll pardon your innocence."
Gao pragmatic smiled slightly and said: "Suppose that King Lu will grow up in the future, and together with His Highness, he will make a mistake and do something wrong. Although the matter itself is not particularly serious, it is still a mistake after all... But later
, His Majesty severely punished His Royal Highness Prince Lu, but did not say a word to His Highness the Crown Prince, and even pretended that nothing happened." When he said this, he bowed his hands again very formally and asked: "Excuse me, Your Highness the Crown Prince, what happened?
What do you think when you do that?"
"How could this happen? If my brother and I committed that mistake together, and he was punished but not me, wouldn't I be ashamed?" Zhu Yijun waved his little hand and said very decisively.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned and suddenly said: "Oh... you mean?"
Gao Pingshi bowed solemnly and said: "The prince is wise, and this is what I mean."
