As he spoke, Hai Rui wrote these words in the Three Law Division's case closing book, and asked the two jury officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for their opinions.
Because they were close confidants of Zhang Juzheng, they knew that it would be best for Feng Bao to never speak, so that many secrets between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng would not be known, so they had no objections and both signed.
Early the next morning, this question was approved by the cabinet and Zhang Jing personally sent it to Zhu Yijun.
After Zhu Yijun looked at it, he nodded: "Praise the red one."
"yes!"
Zhu Yijun asked again: "What did Feng Bao say after hearing the result of his execution?"
Zhang Jing then told Zhu Yijun what Feng Bao had said.
Zhu Yijun said nothing after hearing this.
Because it is useless to say more, it is too late to say sorry after you are completely defeated.
Not long after the verdict of Feng Bao came down, Feng Bao was sent to the gallows that day.
At first, Feng Bao was calm.
But when he saw the rope that was about to hang him, he couldn't help but tremble. He still didn't want to leave so quickly.
He would rather not have any more power and continue to live.
However, there is no regret medicine in this world.
Feng Bao was eventually hanged.
"Your Majesty, Feng Bao has been executed."
Soon after, Zhu Yijun learned the news from Zhang Jing.
Zhu Yijun nodded and let out a sigh of relief.
And when he thought of the eyes that were always staring at him for Queen Mother Li, who was so greedy for money that she used the princess as a tool to make money. After the person who looked at him as a child was really gone, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I know, back off."
But no matter how relaxed he felt physically and mentally, Zhu Yijun finally said just this.
Zhang Jing said yes and returned to the ceremonial department.
As soon as he arrived at the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Zhang Hong stood up and asked him: "Eunuch Feng is gone?"
Zhang Jing nodded.
Zhang Hong immediately slumped back on his chair, his eyes dull.
Seeing this, Zhang Jing asked: "Who is this godfather?"
Zhang Hongze suddenly murmured: "The emperor is the emperor, no matter how young the emperor is, he is still the emperor. This is what you will get if you don't uphold your duty and bully the emperor!"
"What my godfather said is right. Mei Xiang is the master. He, Feng Bao, is actually the same as us, but he forgot."
Zhang Jing replied.
Zhang Hong said: "Although he has forgotten. But Eunuch Zhang, you and I must remember it."
"That's what godfather said."
Zhang Jing replied with a smile.
Zhang Hong added: "When you stay in the inner court, you must know what the emperor wants."
With that said, Zhang Hong asked Zhang Jing: "Do you know what the emperor wants?"
"The emperor wants to support Zhang Juzheng's restructuring, wants to get rid of the dilemma of Yin and Mao Liang, wants the Ming Dynasty to have a full national treasury, wants Ming Dynasty to have a larger elite emperor, and wants to be the emperor in the prosperous times!"
Zhang Jing replied.
Zhang Hong laughed after hearing this: "The fact that you have reached this point is related to your own wisdom."
"It's also because of my godfather's teachings."
Zhang Jing replied humbly.
Zhang Hong added: "You are right, the emperor has this intention, otherwise he would not have let a eunuch in charge of the ceremony to be sentenced to death by Hai Rui, a civil servant. In this case, before the emperor takes charge, you and I The ministers should be courteous to the cabinet, and don’t get involved in the affairs of the outer court, let the scholar-bureaucrats fight on their own!"
"My godfather is right."
Zhang Jing bowed and replied.
Zhang Hong smiled and said suddenly: "In that case, we will resign as the admiral of Dongchang and recommend you to replace us. Presumably, Eunuch Zhang already knows how to be the admiral of Dongchang."
"Godfather! This is inappropriate. My son is doing all this for you, godfather!"
"The purpose is to allow you, the godfather, to have the same power as Feng Bao. Although my son does not obey him, Feng Bao, he will definitely obey you, the godfather!"
Zhang Jing suddenly knelt down and spoke.
"enough!"
"Stop calling me godfather!"
"You are Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Although you are not the chief minister in the outer court, you are also one of the nine cabinet ministers. You call our family father-in-law, which is already a courtesy to our family! How can you call me godfather? Besides, you are about to be the new factory owner, so there is no way for the factory owner to call us godfather, unless you and I don’t want to live anymore!"
Zhang Hong suddenly stood up, said a few words in a stern tone, and then said: "Eunuch Zhang, you should understand, right? Besides, you said it yourself, there is a distinction between the official's handprint and the pen, even if we If the family is willing, the Queen Mother is willing, the Emperor will not be willing! You are actually right!"
"Moreover, didn't we just reach a consensus? The one who can decide life and death in this world is still the Emperor! If the Emperor wants to get rid of Feng Bao, you, Zhang Jing, will take the initiative to eliminate Feng Bao for the Emperor; in the future, if the Emperor wants to get rid of you, , someone will take the initiative to get rid of you for the emperor, and even some civil servants from other dynasties who have never looked at us seriously will take the initiative to help the emperor get rid of us. Did you forget it so quickly? "
"My son dare not forget! No, our family dare not forget!"
Zhang Jing replied with some disappointment.
"Then why don't you get up!"
Zhang Hong said coldly.
Zhang Jing stood up a little nervously.
He seemed to want to kneel in front of Zhang Hong, but Zhang Hong didn't want him to kneel, and he couldn't keep kneeling because he was afraid that other eunuchs would really see him kneeling in front of Zhang Hong.
"Resign from the post of Admiral Dongchang?"
Just when Zhu Yijun started to write down some theoretical knowledge he had mastered in later generations because of Feng Bao's thoroughness and contentment, and he could no longer only read Confucian books and history books, Zhang Hong and Zhang Jing, two chief eunuchs of rites So we came to him together.
And Zhang Hong came to take the initiative to resign as the admiral of Dongchang.
Zhang Jing came to petition for the appointment of a new eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch in charge of etiquette.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong first.
Zhang Hongdao: "Back to your Majesty, the old slave is old and frail, and he is not good at investigating cases. Besides, it is not suitable for him to supervise the East Factory as the Chief of Ceremonies. Therefore, the old slave resigns from the post of Supervisor of the East Factory."
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this.
He knew that this was because Feng Bao's fate had an effect, so he said: "In that case, let's draft a decree for Zhang Jing to take over."
Zhang Jing also said at this time: "Your Majesty, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who is responsible for the rituals, may not be enough. What's more, the examination is about to be implemented, and the affairs will undoubtedly increase. A new eunuch, the eunuch Bingbi, should be added."
Zhu Yijun also nodded: "Then let Zhang Cheng also join the Department of Ceremonies."
The two people quickly bowed and said yes.
Zhu Yijun then waved his hand: "If nothing happens, just step back."
Both men retreated respectfully.
Zhu Yijun saw that neither of them insisted on leaving like Feng Bao. After his own instructions, they both decisively left Qianqing Palace. Naturally, he felt more comfortable and wrote his book with more interest. .
But when he was busy writing for a while, Zhu Yijun turned over the memorial.
This time, he didn't just flip through the ink copies, but directly put a stack of first copies on his case. He picked up a random copy and looked through it, intending to practice it once.
"The Ministry of Industry has decided to build a new Buddhist temple for the Empress Dowager Cisheng, which requires a total of 670,000 taels of silver."
But when Zhu Yijun read the contents of the first preliminary copy, he immediately frowned: "It will cost so much?"
Immediately, Zhu Yijun threw Chuben aside and said to himself: "Forget it, let Zhang Juzheng do the things that offend the Queen Mother."
