Sun Dexiu was expelled from the ceremonial department and demoted to Nanjing to guard the mausoleum.

Sun Hai was also demoted to live in Nanjing.

These two things made Feng Bao smile uncontrollably and felt that he was the real winner at the moment.

So, when Feng Bao returned to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to personally announce to Zhang Hong that he had been awarded the post of Admiral of the East Factory by Emperor Zhu Yijun, he took the initiative to hand over his hand and said: "Congratulations, Eunuch Zhang!"

Zhang Hong was still very surprised: "Hasn't it always been your father-in-law Feng who is also the commander-in-chief of Dongchang? Why would the emperor let our family take this position? Our family is not qualified enough to do it!"

Feng Bao here has personally drafted an edict for Zhang Hong to supervise the East Factory, and said: "Eunuch Zhang does not need to be too modest. Sun Dexiu said that our family is greedy for power. He has become the Supervisor of Ceremonies and is also the Supervisor of the East Factory. How can our family be so humble?" If you can bear such grievance, you should ask your Majesty to relinquish our post of admiral of the East Factory on the spot. Your Majesty agreed and asked our family to recommend you, and our family immediately recommended you, Eunuch Zhang. The Queen Mother of the two palaces also said that you are loyal, Your Majesty. Naturally, I agreed."

As Feng Bao spoke, he had already drafted the edict for Admiral Zhang Hong to supervise Dongchang, but he had not yet printed it. He just looked at Zhang Hong: "Father-in-law, do you still have any questions?"

"The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed."

"In this case, our family can only do our best to serve as the admiral of the East Factory."

"However, our family is indeed incapable. We can only ask Eunuch Feng in advance in the future. We don't dare to do it ourselves. I will ask your father-in-law for your guidance when the time comes."

Zhang Hong bowed to Feng Baozuo and saluted.

Feng Bao was waiting for Zhang Hong's words. He smiled with satisfaction and immediately raised his voice: "Use the seal!"

Not long after, Feng Bao put a big seal on the edict and handed it to Zhang Hong: "Eunuch Zhang, go and thank the emperor."

"Um!"

Zhang Hong responded.

"Wait!"

And suddenly, Feng Bao called Zhang Hong again.

Zhang Hong turned back to look at Feng Bao: "Eunuch Feng, do you have any other instructions?"

"I forgot to tell you that Zhang Jing, a member of your sect, has been promoted to the rank of Bingbi."

Feng Bao has also begun to write Zhang Jing's handwriting for the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Zhang Hong's eyes widened immediately, but there was still no joy on his face. He just asked: "Eunuch Feng, what about Sun Dexiu?"

Feng Bao snorted: "Extorting bribes from the inner tree, wearing imperial gifts, and even slandering Minister Gu Ming. If not for the kindness of the empress and the mercy of the emperor, he would have been killed with a rod! Now he has been sent to Nanjing to serve as a pure army! Eunuch Zhang, You and I should take this as a warning!"

Zhang Hong suddenly understood and nodded quickly: "Eunuch Feng is right."

Then, Zhang Hong went to Qianqing Palace.

But Feng Bao was not in a hurry and went to Qianqing Palace to show his face in front of Emperor Zhu Yijun. He was waiting for Zhang Jing to come to be the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

After a while, Zhang Jing came to the ceremony supervisor and bowed to Feng Bao first.

Feng Bao smiled when he saw that Zhang Jing had not forgotten to respect his own rules even though he had become the eunuch Bingbi. Then he said: "Get up."

Only then did Zhang Jing stand up.

"Congratulations, Eunuch Zhang!"

Feng Bao said and handed the edict to Zhang Jing: "You don't need us to read it again."

"Of course you don't need it!"

After Zhang Jing smiled and replied, he bowed and said with a flattering smile: "Although I have become the Supervisor of Ceremonies and Bingbi, I know that all this depends on you, Eunuch Feng. If it weren't for your words, I wouldn't be here at all." It is impossible for me to enter the Office of Ceremony so quickly. I also understand that you can let me enter the Office of Ceremony with just one sentence, and you can also ask me to leave the Office of Ceremony with just one sentence. Therefore, from now on, I will only listen to your arrangements. I will never dare to go against your will."

"As long as you know!"

Feng Bao then added: "However, your ability to enter the ceremonial department is not only due to our family, but also to your own hard work. You should also thank yourself! If you hadn't suggested to our family at that time, If you go to the Emperor's side, anger Sun Hai, and then force Sun Dexiu to lose his pawn to save the car, and then let Sun Hai be moved by the Emperor, and then take revenge on Sun Dexiu, you will not have the chance to let Sun Dexiu leave the Supervisor of Ceremonies and you to join the Supervisor of Ceremonies today. "

"In addition, you should also thank your godfather. If your godfather had not always been honest and taught you to know the right things, our family would not recommend you for the sake of your godfather."

"I understand! I will remember your teachings, Eunuch Feng."

Zhang Jing replied.

"I don't take the teachings seriously, I just have a few words to tell you."

Feng Baoyan said.

Zhang Jing cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your instructions, father-in-law."

Feng Baoze waved.

Zhang Jing came over.

Feng Baoze said in a low voice: "From now on, you should keep an eye on the Emperor for our family. We know that if we appear in front of the Emperor every day, the Emperor will definitely not like it and think that we are doing it for the Queen Mother." Keep an eye on him. When our family doesn't go to Qianqing Palace in the future, you can go and keep an eye on him for a day. If the emperor says anything detrimental to our family, you must inform him in time! Otherwise, you know the consequences!"

"I have remembered it, and I have never dared to forget how good it is to remember my father-in-law in front of the emperor."

Zhang Jing replied.

Feng Bao nodded after hearing this.

After Zhang Jing went to Zhu Yijun's side, Zhu Yijun did become closer to Feng Bao, and would reward himself with this great companion from time to time.

Therefore, Feng Bao was willing to believe Zhang Jing's words and believed that Zhang Jing had indeed taken refuge in him and spoke for him in front of the emperor.

Feng Bao continued to give instructions: "Go and see where the emperor is. Our family has something to do later, so we won't go there."

"yes!"

Zhang Jing also went to Qianqing Palace with Feng Bao's permission.

"coming?"

Zhu Yijun asked lightly after seeing Zhang Jing come back.

Zhang Jing nodded: "Eunuch Feng asked the servants to serve the emperor."

Zhu Yijun smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Your Majesty!"

However, Zhang Jing suddenly knelt down at this moment, called Zhu Yijun, and then said: "I know that the only one who can really let this slave enter the Secretary's Ceremony Prison is the Emperor, and the only one who can let this slave leave the Secretary's Ceremony Prison is the Emperor." ! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely find a way for Your Majesty to get rid of the eunuch!"

Zhu Yijun glanced at him lightly: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Jing stood up, then walked to Zhu Yijun, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, now that I have entered the ceremonial prison, it is like a knife being held on Feng Bao's neck by your Majesty. Just wait until the time is right and kill them quickly!"

As Zhang Jing spoke, he made a motion of cutting his palm downwards.

For those who didn’t know, they thought he had a deep hatred for Feng Bao.

But in fact, Feng Bao had kindly recommended him not long ago to be the eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

You know, Feng Bao's confidant Zhang Damou, the eunuch in the clerk's room, has not yet joined the eunuch of the Li Jian as the eunuch Bingbi.

Of course, there were not many eunuchs who could get along with the emperor Zhu Yijun and do things out of friendship.

Zhu Yijun also knew that, so he was not surprised by Zhang Jing's behavior at this moment. He only said: "No hurry!"

Then, Zhu Yijun said: "You go down first."

Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment and had to retreat.



Zhang Juzheng also quickly learned about the expulsion of Sun Dexiu from the inner court through his relationship with Feng Bao, and he murmured:

"You want to seize power so much at such a young age? And you are so unscrupulous! I didn't teach him these power tricks!"

When Zhang Juzheng's son Zhang Jingxiu heard what Zhang Juzheng said, he was full of curiosity and asked, "Who is father talking about?"

"His Majesty!"
