"Plop!" With a sound, Feng Bao knelt down without hesitation, knocked his head hard on the ground, and shouted: "Young master, I am Mingjian, this slave is just a pen. Although I felt something was wrong at the time, Meng Zhangprint
If you don’t say anything, I don’t dare to speak nonsense!”
His move only made Gao Pangshi sneer in his heart: Dude, how does my move compare to what you wanted to do before? You wanted to see me offend the emperor, the cabinet, and the officials, but I jumped out. However, I
First hand, can you jump through the most critical level of the emperor, and can you jump through the level of the cabinet and the staff?
That's right, Feng Bao's attempt to survive by cutting off his tail could only ensure that he would not be "deducted" too harshly from the emperor's side. After all, the facts were indeed as he said. Meng Chong, as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, did not speak.
Although it does not mean that Eunuch Bingbi cannot speak, generally speaking, if Bingbi skipped the palm prints to question in this situation, it does have the meaning of "undermining the internal unity of the Eunuch Si Li". Considering the person of Emperor Longqing, he can probably
understand.
In this way, even if Gao Jingshi had just given Feng Bao a big hat that he could not speak impartially to the emperor, he would not be able to kill him with one move. As for the eunuchs, if the outer court has strong support, then of course
It is the icing on the cake, but only the emperor's trust comes first, because all the power of eunuchs ultimately comes from the emperor.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic had expected Feng Bao's choice from the beginning, but he also expected that Feng Bao's choice would offend both the cabinet and the staff.
Gao Gong had been wary of Feng Bao for a long time. If he offended him, he would offend him. What was great was that his face was even worse. The real ruthlessness of Gao Pragmatic was that all of a sudden, Feng Bao also offended Zhang Juzheng.
Because Xu Pengju's case itself originated from Liu Xian's incident, and Zhang Juzheng supported Liu Xian's redress and attack Xu Pengju, whether public or private at that time - Liu Xian was a man who could fight after all, and Xu Pengju had a great influence on the country.
What a waste?
Although Gao Pragmatic was obsessed with bringing down Zhang Juzheng, he did not doubt that Zhang Juzheng had reform ideals and was a practical man who paid attention to the world. He was at least a hundred times better than those mediocre bureaucrats. Therefore, although Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng had already begun to have a relationship
They seem to be inseparable, but they are real allies in attacking Xu Pengju and overturning Liu Xian's case.
In this way, because Feng Bao had to cut off his tail to survive, although he somewhat preserved his image in the emperor's mind, he directly stood on the opposite side of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.
Don't ask why Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng want to attack Xu Pengju but refuse to punish him - once Xu Pengju's case is settled, there is no need to explain the reasons for Liu Xian's reinstatement, and Xu Pengju will never dare to jump out and say anything.
Dao 4 - This kind of roundabout and roundabout way of dealing with things is very common in officialdom. If you can't even understand this, then there is no need to mess around in officialdom.
Why can't someone like Hai Rui get along? Is he dishonest? Is he disloyal? Is his level too low? Of course not. It's just because he ignored the rules of the officialdom too many times and offended too many people.
people.
This is why after Xu Jie sent a letter to Gao Gong asking for peace, Gao Gong was willing to let him go. Similarly, Hai Rui, who insisted on not letting him go, was dismissed by Gao Gong as governor of Yingtian.
It’s nothing more than the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. At least now, it is not fashionable to punish a down-to-earth official who has been “left alone and allowed to be ridiculed” to death. Even if Gao Gong is as powerful as Gao Gong, he still has to consider the impact - whether you can reform
Reform is a matter of your governing ideas, but if you pursue and attack an old Prime Minister who has bowed down and stepped down, it is a matter of your character!
In the Ming Dynasty, a civil official's ability to govern was not very good. Look at Li Chunfang, whose ability was limited and her level was average, but the chief assistant could do the same. However, if a civil official's character is recognized as not being very good, he is a rabbit.
His tail will never grow, and he will be scolded even after death.
Just as Feng Bao was obsessed with taking revenge on Gao Gong for suppressing him, Gao Pragmatic was obsessed with breaking up the interest alliance between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng.
Although there seems to be no formal alliance between Feng and Zhang yet, Gao Pragmatic does not dare to be careless. As long as there is an opportunity for conflict between them, he will not let it go.
This is what happened just now. It was originally a "random" incident. Zhu Yijun unintentionally dug a big hole for Gao Yingshi. But after Gao Yingshi saw Feng Bao's performance, he simply refused to do anything and caused trouble to the east.
, but Feng Bao suffered a big loss.
Fortunately, Feng Bao was not slow to understand his situation and directly used the first move of the eunuch's survival secrets - wagging his tail to beg for mercy, which barely allowed Zhu Yijun to suppress his anger. The little prince snorted coldly and said: "This
You can explain it to His Majesty yourself."
Gao Wuzhi shook his head secretly and thought to himself: I guess you escaped the disaster.
He knew that before Feng Bao went to explain to Emperor Longqing, he would first ask his real supporter Li Guifei, and it was unlikely that Li Guifei would deal with Feng Bao because of this matter, because she still needed Feng Bao to take care of her.
"look after baby"……
Wait! Wait, wait...
Gao Pingshi suddenly had an idea in his mind and thought of something very important: in history, when Emperor Longqing was in power, Feng Bao was always pressed into the first position and could not move, and Concubine Li, as Feng Bao's backer,
It seems that there has never been any effort in this area. What is the reason?
Is Concubine Li afraid of Gao Gong? I'm afraid not so - she is neither an official nor a eunuch, she is a concubine. As long as she has not committed any unethical behavior, Gao Gong will not be able to find any reason to be disadvantageous to her.
So looking back, in history, just after Long Qing passed away, Feng Bao actually dared to forge an imperial edict and appoint himself as the Chief of Ceremony. Is there no problem in this?
impossible!
Without Concubine Li's approval - she was already the emperor's biological mother - how could Feng Bao dare to correct the imperial edict?
That is to say: first, when Zhu Yijun was the crown prince, Concubine Li thought it was reasonable for Feng Bao to be the first official; second, after Zhu Yijun ascended the throne as emperor, Concubine Li thought it was reasonable for Feng Bao to be the chief seal officer.
Why does Concubine Li have such an attitude? What reasons does she think are reasonable?
Gao pragmatic suddenly found that he had reached the critical threshold of figuring out Li Guifei's mind. He was only one step away from finding out what Li Guifei was thinking.
If you can figure out what Concubine Li is thinking, then your next confrontation with Feng Bao will be on target and you won't panic at all - you are not afraid of what others want, but you are afraid that you can't figure out what they want!
Standing tall against a wall, one can be strong without desire. As long as one can know the reason why Concubine Li required Feng Bao to stay in the pen-holding and palm-printing positions before and after Long Qing's death, he will surely be able to find the corresponding method to solve it!
Whether it is to find a way to make Feng Bao lose the specialness of "I have to do it", or to find a more suitable person to replace him, there must be a way to think of it.
