This question of Concubine Li is indeed a core question. It has to be said that Feng Bao's level is quite good. The argument he came up with suddenly made Concubine Li suspicious to this extent.
Concubine Li didn't know that at this moment, her precious brother wanted to scold her, and thought to herself: You're a thief, you're so pragmatic, you're so pragmatic, it's really hard for you to get your money, how can I get these ten thousand taels of silver from you?
, how much talk does it take to settle the matter? No, this account has been settled, and I have to do the calculation again with you. Anyway, your boy is famous for turning stone into gold. You have worked so hard, and you can get more.
Ten thousand taels is not too much, right?
Li Wenjin thought carefully and then said: "Sister, you have been in the harem for a long time, and you still don't quite understand the thoughts of those court officials. The reason why Mr. Gao did this is actually very simple."
Concubine Li frowned and said, "Then you can tell me, what are their thoughts?"
"Haha, well..." Li Wenjin smiled and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, but I may have said it more vulgarly. These civil servants from the outer court, whether they are bitches or not, must have the chastity arch.
Standing."
Concubine Li's face sank and she scolded: "That's nonsense."
It's not just nonsense, the main thing is that you spoke so vulgarly in front of my emperor's son, how should I show my attitude?
Li Wenjin also knew that the little emperor was present. Rather than talking privately with his sister, he still had to pay attention to the words he used. When he saw his sister scolding him, he quickly scolded her.
Concubine Li really couldn't get angry at her brother who had sacrificed so much for her. She criticized him a few more times and then took the topic back: "Anyway, what you mean is that Mr. Gao is not doing any testing, he is simply just
Cherish feathers?”
"Of course!" Li Wenjin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.
"Okay, what you said makes sense. Thinking about it this way, he must really sincerely want to unite the two palaces, but he just doesn't want to bear the reputation of ruining the ancestral system."
Concubine Li reluctantly expressed her understanding, but after thinking about what Feng Bao said before, she added: "However, the Supervisor of Ceremonies is very important. Meng Chong is not capable, so Feng Bao must be replaced. Otherwise, if something happens to the outer court, I will
Both the emperor and the emperor might be kept in the dark."
Li Wenjin blinked and thought to himself: Young man from the Gao family, I only promise to help you eliminate my sister's suspicion and dissatisfaction with your third uncle. As for who will be the Supervisor of Ceremonies to do the handprints, this matter is beyond the scope of our cooperation.
, don’t blame me for being unloyal and standing by.
Li Wenjin did not express any objection, but Zhu Yijun intervened and said: "Concubine, the relationship between the eldest companion and Mr. Gao seems not to be good. If he does the handprint, will Mr. Gao be unhappy?"
Concubine Li's face sank and she lectured: "I heard that your father once told you: It takes three days to burn jade to test it, and it takes seven years to identify the material! Your father has tried Mr. Gao's jade.
There is no need to doubt that he can use it well, but what about you, have you tried it? Can you ensure that Mr. Gao treats you the same as he treats your father?"
Zhu Yijun had always been afraid of his own mother. When he saw his mother-in-law's sullen face, he didn't dare to argue, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "My mother-in-law has taught me a lesson, but I have acted rashly."
Concubine Li once again experienced her mother's majesty. She nodded with satisfaction and pointed to her son: "You just need to understand. This is all for your sake. As long as Mr. Gao doesn't object to appointing Feng Bao as the Chief of Ceremonies, then it will be fine."
It shows that he is serving us sincerely, and you can rest assured when using it in the future. This is a jade test, you know?"
"Yes, I understand. I understand."
Li Wenjin was very excited when he heard it, and thought to himself: This news is not a trivial matter. If you sell it to that guy Gao Jingshi, it must be worth at least two thousand taels... Ah, no, five thousand taels! Hey, men are in Yudi and the palace.
After ten years of working, I now realize that making money can be so easy!
While Li Wenjin was enjoying himself here, Feng Bao was sitting in the room of his supervisor of etiquette with a gloomy look on his face.
Of course, his mood couldn't get better. Li Wenjin took advantage of his special status to oppose him. It was actually just a trivial matter. He knew that Li Wenjin's weakness was nothing more than his love for money. Next time, he would be well prepared and take care of him. Don't
Not to mention, it should at least keep him neutral.
Speaking of which, Feng Bao even wondered whether Li Wenjin was deliberately going against him in order to force him to give him money!
But Li Wenjin's problem is easy to solve, but Gao Gong's problem is not.
Feng Bao originally thought that Gao Gong's problem would definitely be difficult to handle during the reign of the late emperor, but it would be easier to handle after the prince ascended the throne. But now it seems that he is still too optimistic.
Who knew that Gao Gong could actually make up his mind to "respect the two palaces"? This is really unexpected. He directly resolved the killer move that he had worked hard on - the key is that the timing is so accurate, this
What a hell!
Feng Bao thought hard for a while, but he really couldn't think of any way to save the situation. He suddenly cursed fiercely: "Gao Huzi! You are really a person who will cut off your children and grandchildren. You even sent Zhang Taiyue away in advance, leaving the man alone to discuss it.
nothing!"
But scolding alone didn't solve the problem, so he had no choice but to leave the palace in a hurry, planning to send Xu Jue to Tianshou Mountain overnight to ask Zhang Juzheng for advice. Fortunately, Tianshou Mountain is very close, just in Changping, and it takes two days for a quick horse to go back and forth.
.
Feng Bao was the admiral of Dongchang, so he was naturally free to leave the palace. He could leave at will. Not long after he left the palace, Gao Pragmatic learned from Li Wen that everything that had just happened in Yongning Palace was paid.
In addition to the previously agreed price, he spent an additional fifteen thousand taels of silver, and made an appointment with Li Wenjin. If there was any important news in the future, he would pay for it together, and the price was guaranteed to be fair.
At this critical moment, you must not be stingy just to save money. This principle is very pragmatic.
At this moment, he is like the Americans of later generations. Whatever can be done with money, he is determined not to risk his life - my useful body is precious!
He was even a little relieved: at least, although Li Wenjin was greedy for money, he still had credibility when "doing business". As long as the money was in place, things would be done well.
But the news brought by Li Wenjin was actually quite difficult for Gao Pragmatic.
First of all, Gao Gong is not easy to convince. This is the biggest problem. If he gets angry as soon as he hears that Feng Bao is going to take over as the Chief of Ceremonies, then he will be in big trouble. He will probably go back to the old path of his previous life and become a foreign court official.
The official tried to overthrow Feng Bao, but Feng Bao persuaded Concubine Li and the young emperor to easily resolve the seemingly surging attack with a decree, and sent Mr. Gao back to his hometown.
Secondly, we have to come up with an idea on how to arrange Meng Chong. Although this Meng Chong is less capable, he is more honest and able to listen to advice. If this kind of person can stay in the palace, who knows when?
It can be used. After all, if you have good luck, you will get more help, but if you don't have good luck, you will get less help. If you can protect him, it is best to save him.
Gao pragmatic calmed down and thought about it carefully. He felt that the work of persuading Gao Gong could only be left to tonight. For now, he should solve the problem with Meng Chong. It happened that there was a way to temporarily avoid Feng Chong.
