Even Queen Mother Li was unhappy. She even stopped her entertainment activities and burned three sticks of incense in front of the Buddha for Feng Bao, hoping that the Buddha could bless him to recover soon!
But correspondingly, when some people are unhappy, others are happy! Feng Bao was not without enemies in his life! His opponents were naturally secretly happy, but they didn't dare to show it, for fear that Feng Bao would have to settle accounts with them if he recovered from his illness!
But Emperor Wanli didn't hold back so much. He had now forgotten whether Feng Bao was plotted against him, and all he had to do was beat gongs and drums to celebrate Feng Bao's death! If Zhang Jia hadn't been sober and tried his best to stop Emperor Wanli, he would have ordered Zhang Jia to take over as Supervisor of Ceremonies!
Fortunately, Emperor Wanli has become much calmer over the years. He just had fun in his palace and drank some wine to celebrate! Moreover, he looked sad when he was outside. He often sent the Zhang family to visit the sick, and at the same time sent many expensive medicines there. This made Feng Bao's cronies very grateful to him! .
In this way, Feng Bao was ill for more than 20 days. Although it was not to the point of dying, it was almost the same! So in order not to delay state affairs, Emperor Wanli "had no choice but" to temporarily let Zhang Jia serve as the Supervisor of Ceremonies and Photographer, and then return the position to him after Feng Bao recovered from his illness!
The people in charge of the ceremonial department are basically Feng Bao's cronies or allies. Naturally, they don't want Zhang Jia to get involved! But now that Feng Baoyi cannot afford to be ill, and Zhang Jia comes in with the slogan "Don't delay state affairs," they can only accept it with pinched noses!
Therefore, Zhang Jia's intervention in Si Li Supervisor's action was very smooth. As for whether people like the Supervisor of Ceremonies had the idea of paving the way for him to change the court in the future, so they did not set up obstacles for him, that is not known!
It is not surprising that these people have the idea of changing their families, and the fact that they can stay in the ceremonial office means that they are also influential in the palace! So even if you are selling yourself, you are still qualified!
As for those who simply rely on Feng Bao and have little power, the situation will be miserable! During this period of time, they had begun to taste the warmth and coldness of human relationships, so they kept the news of Zhang Jia's intervention from Feng Bao and the Supervisor of Ceremonies secret, hoping in their hearts that he would recover as soon as possible so that he could resume his duties as director!
However, although Zhang Jia intervened as the Superintendent of Ceremonies, he did not immediately give instructions. Instead, he mostly just sat there and watched! Therefore, the Supervisor of Ceremonies continued to maintain it according to inertia, without delaying the operation of the government at all! This actually makes Feng Bao's die-hard fans a little grateful! It also makes others feel that Zhang Jia is still very tolerant! .
But as the saying goes, there is no airtight wall. After Feng Bao fell ill for more than a month, Feng Bao, who had long felt that something was wrong with him, forced the people around him to tell the truth. Only then did he know that Zhang Jia had been stationed as the Chief of Ceremonies. Got it!
Although the people below told him when reporting the news, Zhang Jia did not take any other actions after entering the ceremonial prison, and just sat quietly every day! But Feng Bao is a figure who has experienced power struggles. He immediately saw that this was not about not intervening. He had a big agenda and was just waiting for his own death! If he didn't die, he could still gain a good reputation!
So Feng Bao immediately spit out a mouthful of blood! This time, everyone around him was frightened, and they hurriedly called the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment! The imperial doctors gave Feng Bao medicine and injected acupuncture. After struggling for a long time, Feng Bao's condition was finally stabilized.
But after this ordeal, Feng Bao's spirit and body completely collapsed! I feel groggy every day, at least when I wake up, but most of the time when I sleep, I am already thin and out of shape! Anyone who sees him can guess that his end is approaching!
So not only the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but also everyone in the palace began to actively move closer to him! But he still looks calm, greeting everyone with a smile, and does not take the initiative to interfere with his rights!
In doing so, he really reassured the people in the palace and ensured the stable operation of the government. And the more he acted like this, the more people came closer to him! Because there is really no way to hide news in the palace, even if Feng Bao's cronies tried their best to cover it up, most people knew that Feng Bao was in bad condition after vomiting blood, so they naturally moved closer to the big tree Zhang Jia!
In this way, Feng Bao struggled for more than ten days and finally gave up and returned to the west. There was a burst of mourning in the palace! In any case, Feng Bao is also a veteran of the two dynasties. He has controlled the harem for many years and hates him.
Although there are many people, there are also just as many people who have received his favor! So everyone expressed their condolences according to their personal status!
As for Emperor Wanli, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and allowed himself to worship on his behalf! If it were to follow his wishes, he would probably have to set off a firecracker in front of the soul!
Zhang Jia left after offering incense, and Feng Bao's godsons naturally took care of the rest. They had received great kindness from Feng Bao, so it was natural for them to die for Feng Bao!
Naturally, the news of Feng Bao's death quickly spread outside the palace! When the news reached the check-in staff, several pavilion elders were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but focus on Zhang Juzheng! They all know that the departure of Feng Bao, the eunuch and eunuch Bingbi, will have a huge impact on the government! Especially for Zhang Juzheng, it was like losing an arm! They all want to know if Zhang Juzheng has a way to deal with it!
Zhang Juzheng, however, put down his pen with an unchanging expression and said, "Everyone! We have known Feng Daban for a long time, and we always have to burn a stick of incense before his death!"
The elders naturally nodded in agreement. So everyone handed the sign and entered the palace and they were allowed! When they arrived at the resting place in the palace, if anyone looked carefully, they would find that except for Zhang Juzheng, several elders had a faint look of disappointment on their faces, because Zhang Jia had left earlier than them!
As for why they looked disappointed, it was because now that Feng Baoyi's death had been settled, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremony, was destined to be in his pocket, so the elders naturally wanted to talk to him about their friendship, so as not to worry about it. In the future, I will encounter difficulties in official matters!
As for whether any of them want to follow the examples of Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and Queen Mother Li, no one can say! But Zhang Jia happened to think of this level and left early without meeting them!
As for why Zhang Juzheng is not disappointed, it is because he has confidence in his heart! He is the chief minister of the cabinet, and nothing can avoid him! The cabinet needs the support of the palace, but how could it be known that the palace does not need the assistance of the cabinet! Naturally, the person who can bring the greatest support to Zhang Jia is him, the chief minister, so he is not in a hurry at all!
