Outside Donghua Gate, the two teams of ceremonial guards merged into one. On the left side were the flags "Eunuch Feng, the Supervisor of Ceremony, and the Print Eunuch", and on the right were the flags "Eunuch Huang, Superintendent of Ceremonies, Bingbi" and "Eunuch Huang, the Imperial Envoy Governor of Dongchang Official School"
"Two flags.
These two teams of honor guards belong to the new Chief of Ceremonies, Feng Bao, and the new East Factory Admiral Huang Mengyu. They left Donghua Gate and turned north this time to go to the Dongchang Yamen of Neidong Factory to handle the handover.
Feng Bao didn't look very good at the moment, because although he got his wish and was promoted to the position of Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies this time, due to the sudden incident, he was unable to make adequate arrangements in the East Factory.
Besides, he originally had some hopes, hoping that he could reach the pinnacle of Zhongguan in one fell swoop - that is, as the Chief of Ceremony and in charge of the East Factory.
As a result, he was obviously disturbed by Li Wenjin yesterday, which made him feel that he might not even have the chance to hold the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Who would have thought that after the fire broke out in the outer palace, he was invited by Meng Chong as soon as he returned to the palace.
Meng Chong told him that he had resigned as Chief of Ceremony and would go to Tianshou Mountain tomorrow to supervise the construction of the Daxing Emperor's mausoleum. He had recommended Feng Bao and Feng Shuanglin to take over the post of Chief.
Feng Bao returned to his residence in the palace in a daze. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why Meng Chong took the initiative to resign. How did he know that his confusion was just due to information asymmetry - Concubine Li said that she would appoint Feng Bao
In order to test Gao Gong's loyalty for the palm seal, these words were said to the emperor and Li Wenjin alone. Of course, the young emperor would not leak it, and Li Guifei herself would not leak it, but she couldn't stand it and Li Wenjin changed hands and sold the news to Gao Gong.
Be pragmatic!
So until the end, Feng Bao didn't know that Meng Chong didn't take the initiative to resign at all, but had to resign. This misunderstanding even prompted him to personally send Meng Chong out of the capital today, who was going to Tianshou Mountain, with subordinate etiquette.
A drama about the elegance of an official.
Then I had to hold my nose and come to the East Factory with Huang Mengyu to do the handover.
Feng Bao had been staying in Yudi earlier, and later in the palace. He had no friendship with Huang Mengyu, a guy who had been out of town for a long time, but there was not much bad feeling. Even if he knew that Huang Mengyu was because of his relationship with Gao Pragmatic
Meng Chong was transferred back to the capital to serve as Bingbi. He only put the "culpability" on Gao Pragmatic, but was more tolerant of Huang Mengyu himself.
After all, when the central official is strong, it is the cabinet that fawns over the inner court; and when the chief assistant is strong, it is the inner court that fawns over the cabinet.
Huang Mengyu himself did not show an attitude of insisting on confronting Feng Bao, so he temporarily put aside the idea of confronting Huang Mengyu and concentrated on the Gao family's nephew. Don't be afraid of having many friends, and don't be afraid of having few enemies. Feng Bao still understands this truth
of.
But the situation is different now. Huang Mengyu has become the admiral of Dongchang. In recent years, under Feng Bao's rule, Dongchang has been secretly collecting "evidence" of the Gao family's uncle and nephew. How could Huang Mengyu know about this?
Of course, in fact, Dongchang basically found nothing when looking for evidence of Gao Gong's crimes. What he has now is all Gao Pragmatic's work.
What kind of conspiracy is it to raise dead soldiers, secretly manufacture a large amount of ordnance, buy people's hearts in flood- and drought-stricken areas, collude with local governments and the military to buy a large amount of land... and so on and so on.
It can be said that if the charges that Feng Bao collected for Gao Jingshi were found to be true, it would be a lucky coincidence that Gao Jingshi himself would only be stripped of his skin and become a scapegoat. I am afraid that confiscating the family and exterminating the clan would be a normal operation!
Even if all of them are true, even if only one of them is true, his highly pragmatic head will have to move immediately.
Killed with a cane? Thinking too much!
Can a crime of this level still allow him to enjoy the treatment of death after being remonstrated by a minister? It must be a clear and canonical punishment, with a knife and beheading!
But it is a pity that even Feng Bao himself found it difficult to pin these charges on Gao Jingshi, because they were too far-fetched, or... Gao Jingshi's method of avoiding crimes was too clever.
Conspiracy to raise dead soldiers? Gao Pangshi's servants are now all from good families. Even the first batch of Bailixia thieves have long been cleared - the person who presided over the recruitment at that time was the then governor of Shuntian and the current governor of Jiliao Liu Yingjie. Later, Liu Yingjie, the governor of Jiliao,
This group of people also played a great role in instigating Han Naji's surrender, and finally contributed to Anda's tribute. With this credit, what else can't be washed away?
You must know that the tribute paid by me is the most important achievement of Emperor Daxing. How dare you Feng Bao deny this? Is it because you are betting that the two palaces and the young emperor Zhu Yijun will not dare to order the killing?
Now Gao Pragmatic's servants all have formal status and have decent jobs. In theory, they are all good citizens. How dare you slander them as dead soldiers?
Oh, you said Gao Jingshi has too many servants? Is it because the Daxing Emperor doesn’t know how much money Gao Jingshi makes, or the two palaces don’t know? But this is all serious business, from the Daxing Emperor to the two palaces, and then to the little emperor
Zhu Yijun, who doesn’t know how many members of the royal family there are? He has more servants, which is just because the family has a great business, and he didn’t get it through deception. How dare you taint someone’s innocence for no reason?
It is said that he has secretly manufactured a large amount of ordnance? So what if his Beijing caravan traveled to Mongolia and was equipped with some swords, guns, swords, halberds and even bows and crossbows approved by the court? Is he equipped with muskets and artillery? Is he equipped with flags and armor? If he is not equipped with these, then you
Talk about a bird egg?
Oh, you said he secretly hid some gunpowder in Sanshen Garden and even made some private firearms?
That thing was a research task assigned to him by the War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau. It had the joint customs defense permission from the Ministry of War and the Beijing Camp. It was also reported to Emperor Daxing. Even the Eastern Palace, the current emperor, knew about it! Take this
Speaking of things, do you mean that even Emperor Daxing and the current Holy Emperor are helping him privately manufacture weapons? Ridiculous!
As for buying people's hearts in flood-stricken and drought-stricken areas... Is there something wrong with your Feng Zhangyin's brain? Scholars all over the world, whether they are officials or in the opposition, as long as their family circumstances permit, no one should spend a fortune or two to do something when their hometown is hit by a disaster.
Something about disaster relief and rescuing people?
You don’t care whether it’s for the invitation or for something else. Scholars all over the world do it anyway. Why do you just focus on a high pragmatic person?
Doesn't he just spend more money? He has a big business and is willing to do his part for the people affected by the disaster in his hometown. Is this morally noble? How come you are just asking to buy people's hearts? You have to take this as an excuse.
Aren't you afraid that all the scholars in the world will drown you if you are charged with a crime?
So Feng Bao thought about it and figured out that he could barely get involved by forcefully buying the land. However, the "forced purchase" actually had nothing to do with Gao Pragmatic, but there were some "forced evictions". Unfortunately, it was done by Kaipingwei and had nothing to do with Gao Pragmatic.
There is no direct relationship between pragmatism and pragmatism.
And if we really want to pursue the charges, Qi Jiguang will probably be found guilty of incompetence in his subordinates first, which will only make Zhang Juzheng angry. Then, he will be investigated from the commander of Kaiping Guards, Xuecheng, to the Marquis of Yangwu, Xue Qian, which is very difficult.
Trouble is, one improper operation may implicate the entire Jingnan family - then he, Feng, will be completely ruined.
The nobles may not dare to confront the civil service group, but they are certainly not afraid of confronting an emperor's servant.
So Feng Bao was very troubled, spent a lot of energy, and indeed collected a lot of "criminal evidence" about Gao Pragmatic, but unfortunately he couldn't use any of it, let alone dared to use it. But now the factory director of the East Factory has changed to "following the Gao family path"
"The rising Huang Mengyu, what to do with these found things?
