At this point, Liu Haojia also handed over to Zhang Jiagong, saying that he was just discussing the matter and was not involved in anything else. But Zhang Jia also smiled and shook his head to say it didn't matter!
Emperor Wanli slapped the table and applauded, saying, "That's right! That's right! So Zhang Jia, please quickly find a way to get the news out, let the court officials know the news, and let them deal with Feng Bao together!"
Just when Zhang Jiagang was about to speak, Liu Haojia stopped him and said, "Absolutely not! You can't take action at this time!"
Emperor Wanli said: "Why? Don't you mean to let the officials deal with him?"
Liu Haojia said: "It's true to let the officials deal with him. The key is to have a good reputation! So he must be exposed himself! Then what Long Live Lord has to do is one thing, endure!"
Emperor Wanli was shocked when he heard this! Said: "Endure? Why endure? How long should I endure? I can't stand them riding on my head for a long time!"
Liu Haojia ignored the word "we" that Emperor Wanli said, and continued: "What I mean when I say to be patient is to make Feng Daban arrogant! So your majesty might as well let him do more things and give him more rights! As for Zhang Banban’s responsibility is to spread more rumors among the eunuchs below, and praise Feng Daban for how capable he is and how he has made great contributions to the royal family! Wait until he gradually becomes arrogant. When he proposes to knight himself, that is It’s time for him to be unlucky!”
Emperor Wanli thought about it and accepted this statement, but he still pouted and said: "If you say so, won't it take a long time?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "It does take a long time to wait, and there are still two hurdles to pass! If we can't pass these two hurdles, all our plans will be in vain!"
Emperor Wanli sat up straight and said, "Then what are the two difficulties?"
Liu Haojia raised a finger and said: "The first difficulty is the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother and Feng Bao have known each other for many years, and to put it bluntly, Feng Bao has been a great help to the Queen Mother, so the relationship between the two is extraordinary! So! If the empress knew that Long Live Master was going to deal with Feng Daban, she would probably stop him!"
When Emperor Wanli heard this, he sneered and said, "Liu Aiqing doesn't have to worry about this, I have a solution! According to my thinking, no matter how close the relationship between the queen mother and Feng Bao is, she can't kiss her own son, right? As long as I go to the queen mother and explain the matter clearly, If I pray a few more times, my mother will definitely support me!"
Liu Haojia said: "I think so too! I also believe that Your Majesty will be able to convince the Queen Mother!"
Emperor Wanli said: "Then what do you think the second difficulty is?"
Liu Haojia stood up straight and said slowly, "That's Mr. Zhang, the Chief Assistant to the Cabinet!"
Emperor Wanli immediately became speechless when he heard this! Because when he was discussing government affairs with Liu Haojia and Zhang Jia, Liu Haojia had already revealed to him the alliance between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng! And Zhang Jia also confirmed this through Dongchang! So Emperor Wanli knew clearly that Zhang Juzheng would find a way to keep Feng Bao even if it was to maintain the relationship with the palace!
So after the three people were silent for a long time, Zhang Jia said, "Is there no other way to get past Mr. Zhang?"
Liu Haojia shook his head and said: "We can't get past it! If any chief minister has such an alliance with the palace, he will never give up!"
Emperor Wanli suddenly slapped the table and said, "I might as well find a reason to chop off his head!"
Zhang Jia knew that Emperor Wanli was speaking out of anger, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him! When Emperor Wanli calmed down, he took the opportunity to say: "I have another way to deal with this! That is to use the civil and military officials' opposition to the eunuch's ennoblement to contain Mr. Zhang! Even if Mr. Zhang has power over the government and the public, he still has to listen. The thoughts of the people below! Feng Daban is definitely on the opposite side of the officials when he wants to be ennobled! So as long as the officials are opposed, Mr. Zhang should not go too far!"
Emperor Wanli said without thinking: "That means we can't do anything now. We just wait for Feng Bao to go crazy, right?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "That's the only way it can be! Because we can only push this matter behind the scenes, and we must not take the initiative to come out first! What if he changes his mind?"
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli sat down on his chair angrily and said, "Then let this old dog live a few more days. Sooner or later I will chop off his brain."
bag! "
Liu Haojia took the opportunity to say: "Long live Lord, Feng Daban's matter cannot be accomplished in a moment. We still have to deal with the current matters most importantly!"
Wanli didn't have the energy to discuss for a while, so he waved his hand casually and said, "Is it a matter of Jingying? You have said it before, just go and do it! Let me know the result!"
Liu Haojia felt relieved when Emperor Wanli said this! After saying a few random words, he bowed and left! He really doesn't want to get involved in palace affairs, at least not now!
Just after that day, Emperor Wanli actually accepted his opinion! From that day on, he was no longer as indifferent to Feng Bao as before, but instead had a hint of smile! Moreover, Emperor Wanli did it absolutely secretly and did not immediately become intimate with Feng Bao. It just made people feel that his sense of Feng Bao seemed to have changed!
This change made Feng Bao and his descendants happy! Especially his godsons felt that their godfather had been trusted and accepted by Emperor Wanli! From today on, they can walk around the palace even more!
And the cooperation there is pretty good! Not only did he give in step by step to Feng Bao's descendants, but he also continued to covertly promote that Feng Bao had made great contributions to the country and the royal family! When these rumors reached Feng Bao's ears, he became even more excited! So he became even more eager to be knighted!
Even Queen Mother Li heard that the relationship between Emperor Wanli and Feng Bao had eased, and she called him over to praise him for a while! Said that he finally grew up and could sympathize with his ministers!
Emperor Wanli felt itchy all over after hearing these words! But he could only endure it and praised Feng Bao against his will! When the news spread in the palace, everyone felt that Feng Bao was fawning over the emperor even though he already had the Queen Mother as his backer! So I respect him even more! And Feng Bao became even more arrogant!
On the fortieth day after Liu Haojia escorted the silver to Beijing, two other auctions were held in Beijing and Tianjin at the same time! The difference is that the target audience is different!
At the auction held in the capital, all the guests were royal dignitaries! Although the auction items are much smaller than those in Tianjin, every item is definitely a high-quality product!
And the auctions in Tianjin are for wealthy businessmen! Although the auction items they have there are all sold in Nanjing and Beijing, they are also rare and good treasures, and they are rare high-quality products among the people! So it’s enough to satisfy these wealthy businessmen!
