There are two main factors when a person decides whether to betray: first, whether the possible benefits are huge enough; second, whether the price to be paid is bearable.
As for the proportion of emotional factors in it, we can only say that the more mature a person is, the lower the proportion of emotional factors.
No matter from the perspective of the possible benefits or the price to be paid, Huang Mengyu has no reason to betray his uncle and nephew.
In terms of benefits, even if Huang Mengyu betrays his nephew from the Gao family and joins Concubine Li and Feng Bao's camp, he cannot replace Feng Bao, and the benefits he can gain are approximately nil.
In terms of cost, the uncles and nephews of the Gao family, especially Gao Pingshi, spent so much energy and financial resources to push him to the position of factory director of the East Factory. It is conceivable that if he betrays him, he will definitely receive the cruelest blow.
On the other hand, if he insists on standing with the uncle and nephew of the Gao family, he can continue to enjoy the support of the Gao Party, which includes all-round support from politics to money. The longer-term benefit is to replace Feng Bao and become
The first eunuch.
Then why did he betray?
Therefore, Huang Mengyu completely dismissed Feng Bao's various hints and warnings just now, unswervingly held high the great banner of Gao Guanzheng, and focused all his current energy on the tasks assigned to him by Gao Pragmatic.
Gao Pragmatic gave Huang Mengyu two tasks. The first was to continue to win over Queen Chen and never let her be like in history. Although she enjoyed the honor, she actually lived like a transparent person.
Gao Jingshi needed Queen Chen's tiger skin because before Zhu Yijun took office, only Queen Chen's tiger skin could check Concubine Li.
Why did Empress Chen in history not show the slightest interest in government affairs? Gao Jingqing thought carefully when he decided to win over her: first, of course, it may be that she was really not interested, which is nothing to discuss; second, it should be for self-protection.
After all, the little emperor is not her biological son. If she interferes too much, it will be embarrassing when the little emperor grows up. The third reason is probably because she has no relevant interests in the court. Since she has no interests, why bother stirring up trouble?
But now, everything is different. Gao Pragmatic took the initiative to get closer to the Chen family in Tongzhou and directly tied up the interests.
In other words, Empress Chen now has a representative of her interests in the court, and the Gao family - strictly speaking, the future of the Gao family - is where her interests lie.
As long as Gao Jingshi's future is bright, her Tongzhou Chen family will be rich and worry-free.
If Empress Chen had a son, or even a daughter, the problem might be complicated. But since she has no descendants, apart from her own honor before and after her death, all her interests lie with the Chen family in Tongzhou, so Gao Gao is pragmatic.
Just to help her and the Chen family themselves.
There is only one answer to the multiple-choice question, so what else should you choose?
Therefore, Huang Mengyu's task is not difficult.
What is difficult is another task: to master Dongchang as quickly as possible, and in turn use Dongchang's power to find out the evidence that Feng Bao deceived the emperor and betrayed his master!
Of course Gao pragmatic knew that Feng Bao had been searching for charges against himself and even Gao Gong, but he also knew that his "anti-reconnaissance" work had been perfected, and it was impossible for Feng Bao to really impose these charges on himself and San Bo, otherwise
Otherwise, Feng Bao would not have waited until now.
Although the investigation of these things is definitely not from Long Qing's order, it can only be Feng Bao's own idea, but this level of "abusing power for personal gain" is far from bullying the emperor and betraying his master. For the Dongchang Factory Supervisor,
Mere investigation alone can't be considered a crime, because he can claim to be just a precautionary measure.
Therefore, in order for Concubine Li to think that Feng Bao deceived the emperor and betrayed his master, there must be other evidence of guilt.
The reason why Huang Mengyu asked the big stall owners in Dongchang to think about the reporting projects in Dongchang today was actually because of this consideration.
Feng Bao has been in charge of Dongchang for several years. I am afraid that most of the people in Dongchang are Feng Bao's party members, but wherever there are people, there are Jianghu, and any yamen will also have different factions. If Feng Bao values this faction, it will definitely benefit.
Many; the group that received Feng Bao's cold shoulder must have to wear small shoes more often, just like a stepmother.
The former type will be difficult to win over for a while, but the latter type is different. Once they feel that there is an opportunity to turn over, of course they will not let it go.
These people can reach the big stalls and survive until today without being taken seriously by Feng Bao. Naturally, they are not idiots. They will definitely figure out who is standing behind Huang Mengyu, the new factory director, as soon as possible, and then make judgments.
The relationship between him and Feng Bao, and then respond based on these.
As long as they find out that the person behind Huang Mengyu is the Queen or Gao Dang, then they will definitely think that Huang Mengyu and Feng Bao have a bad relationship. At that time, in order to become a serf and sing, they will naturally find various evidence of Feng Bao's crimes.
Use it as your own stepping stone.
If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
Huang Mengyu gave them three days to give them the opportunity to find out the cause and prepare materials.
However, what Huang Mengyu didn't expect was that his plan had only just begun, but was ruined by a sudden accident.
Just when Huang Mengyu was about to return to the palace and walked to the Donghua Gate, a group of Feng Bao's honor guards ran over in a chaotic manner, shouting: "People in front, get out of the way, people in the front, get out of the way!"
Feng Zhangyin is attacked and must enter the palace immediately!"
Huang Mengyu, who had been in the border town for a long time and had sharp eyes and ears, couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He didn't care much. He stepped forward and asked: "What's going on? Who was attacked? Where is he?"
A middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a Dongchang stall saw Huang Mengyu and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said in a panic: "Huang Yuma... No, Huang Factory Governor, it's Feng Zhangyin. Feng Gong was attacked in Dong'an."
Outside the door, when I was about to go to the Waidong Factory to get some supplies."
I would like to add that there are two yamen in Dongchang. One is called Neidongchang, which is the place where Feng Bao and Huang Mengyu just handled the handover. The location is outside the palace city and within the imperial city. Specifically, it is to the north of Donghua Gate and the palace.
To the east of the city moat, it is adjacent to the inner transport warehouse.
There is another one called Waidongchang. From Neidongchang, you can go east out of the Imperial City. It is halfway between Zhongfu Caochang and Yanxi Temple. Feng Bao just finished handing over to Huang Mengyu, and this is where he went. Listen to this Dongchang
The stall means that he should be going to the Waidongchang Yamen to retrieve his personal belongings.
This sounded normal, and Huang Mengyu had no doubts. However, the fact that Feng Bao was attacked was so surprising that Huang Mengyu could not think too much and immediately asked: "We are asking you where Mr. Feng is and whether he is injured!"
The waiter hadn't answered yet. Feng Bao was a little nervous and a scared voice came: "Director Huang, our family is fine. The gang of thieves made a wrong target and hit the passenger car by mistake. We used it to store some valuables."
The carriage took a hit, and I'm afraid some of the royal gifts were damaged..."
Huang Mengyu was shocked: "Cannon?"
Is this an attack or a rebellion? Cannon?
The former Dongchang boss hurriedly explained: "Huangchang Governor, Feng Zhangyin is not familiar with the name of ordnance. The one that hit Zhangyin's auxiliary car was a magical pomegranate cannon. However, this cannon is amazingly powerful. It seems to be better than the equipment of the Jingying camp."
The divine machine pomegranate is much more powerful!"
Huang Mengyu gasped and secretly cried out in his heart: Oops, something big has happened!
