"Plop!" With a sound, Feng Bao knelt down without hesitation, knocked his head hard on the ground, and shouted: "Master, Master Mingjian, this slave is just a pen. Although I felt something was wrong at the time, Meng Zhangprint If you don’t say anything, I don’t dare to speak nonsense!”
His move only made Gao Pangshi sneer in his heart: Sample, how does this move of mine compare to what you wanted to do before? You wanted to see me offend the emperor, the cabinet, and the officials, but I jumped out. However, with my skills, can you jump through the most critical level of the emperor, the level of cabinet and staff?
That's right, Feng Bao's attempt to survive by cutting off his tail could only ensure that he would not be "deducted" too harshly from the emperor's side. After all, the facts were indeed as he said. Meng Chong, as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, did not speak. Although it does not mean that Eunuch Bingbi cannot speak, generally speaking, Bingbi skipping the palm prints to question in this situation does have the meaning of "undermining the internal unity of the Eunuch Si Li". With Emperor Longqing's character, he can probably understand.
In this way, even if Gao Jingshi had just given Feng Bao a big hat that he could not speak impartially to the emperor, he would not be able to kill him with one move. For eunuchs, if there is strong support from the outer court, it will of course be the icing on the cake, but only the emperor's trust comes first, because all the power of eunuchs ultimately comes from the emperor.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic had expected Feng Bao's choice from the beginning, but he also expected that Feng Bao's choice would offend both the cabinet and the staff.
Gao Gong had been wary of Feng Bao for a long time. If he offended him, he would offend him. It was great, but it was even worse in terms of appearance. The real cruelty of Gao Pragmatic was that Feng Bao took advantage of the situation and offended Zhang Juzheng.
Because Xu Pengju's case itself originated from Liu Xian's incident, and Zhang Juzheng, whether public or private at that time, supported Liu Xian's vindication and attack Xu Pengju - Liu Xian was a man who could fight after all, and Xu Pengju had a great influence on the country. What a waste?
Although Gao Pragmatic is obsessed with bringing down Zhang Juzheng, he does not doubt that Zhang Juzheng has reform ideals and is a practical man who pays attention to the world and is at least a hundred times better than those mediocre bureaucrats. Therefore, although Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng have begun to show signs of being inseparable, they are real allies in attacking Xu Pengju and overturning Liu Xian's case.
In this way, because Feng Bao had to cut off his tail to survive, although he somewhat preserved his image in the emperor's mind, he stood directly on the opposite side of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.
Don't ask why Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng want to attack Xu Pengju but refuse to punish him - once Xu Pengju's case is settled, there is no need to explain the reasons for Liu Xian's reinstatement, and Xu Pengju will never dare to jump out and say anything. Dao Si - This kind of cloudy and roundabout way of dealing with things is very common in officialdom. If you can't understand this, there is no need to mess around in officialdom.
Why can't people like Hai Rui get along? Is he not honest? Is he disloyal? Is he too bad? Of course not, it's just because he ignored the official rules on too many occasions and offended too many people.
This is why after Xu Jie sent a letter to Gao Gong asking for peace, Gao Gong was willing to let him go. Similarly, Hai Rui, who refused to let him go, was dismissed by Gao Gong as governor of Yingtian and became governor of grain reserves. It's nothing more than the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. At least now, it is not popular to punish a low-ranking official who has been "left alone and allowed to be ridiculed" to death. Even if Gao Gong is as powerful as Gao Gong, he still has to consider the impact - whether you reform or not is a matter of your governing ideas, but if you chase after an old prime minister who has bowed down and resigned, that is a matter of your character. !
In the Ming Dynasty, a civil servant's ability to govern was not very good. Look at Li Chunfang, whose ability was limited and her level was average, but the chief minister could still do the same. However, if a civil servant's character is recognized as not very good, he will be like a rabbit's tail and will not grow long. He will be scolded even after death.
Just as Feng Bao was obsessed with retaliating against Gao Gong for suppressing him, Gao Pragmatic was obsessed with breaking up the interest alliance between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng.
Although there seems to be no formal alliance between Feng and Zhang yet, Gao Pragmatic does not dare to be careless. As long as there is an opportunity for conflict between them, he will not let it go.
This was what happened just now. It was originally a "random" incident. Zhu Yijun unintentionally dug a big hole for Gao Jingshi. But after Gao Jingshi saw Feng Bao's performance, he simply refused to do anything and caused trouble to the east. , but Feng Bao suffered a big loss.
Fortunately, Feng Bao was not slow to understand his situation, and directly used the first move of the eunuch's survival tips - wagging his tail to beg for mercy, which barely allowed Zhu Yijun to suppress his anger. The little prince snorted coldly and said, "Go and explain this to His Majesty yourself."
Gao Puzhi secretly shook his head and thought: I guess you escaped the disaster.
He knew that before Feng Bao went to explain to Emperor Longqing, he would first ask his real supporter Li Guifei, and it was unlikely that Li Guifei would deal with Feng Bao because of this matter, because she still needed Feng Bao to take care of her. "look after baby"……
Wait! Etc., etc……
Gao Pingshi suddenly had an idea in his mind and thought of something very important: in history, when Emperor Longqing was in power, Feng Bao was always pressed into the first position and could not move, and Concubine Li, as Feng Bao's backer, It seems that there has never been any effort in this area. What is the reason?
Is Concubine Li afraid of high arches? I'm afraid not so - she is neither an official nor a eunuch, she is a noble concubine. As long as there is no immoral behavior, it is impossible to find any unfavorable reasons for her.
So looking back, in history, just after Long Qing passed away, Feng Bao actually dared to fake the imperial edict and appoint himself as the chief minister of rites. Is there no problem in this?
impossible!
Without Concubine Li's approval - she was already the emperor's biological mother - how could Feng Bao dare to correct the imperial edict?
That is to say: first, when Zhu Yijun was the crown prince, Concubine Li thought it was reasonable for Feng Bao to be the first official; second, after Zhu Yijun ascended the throne as emperor, Concubine Li thought it was reasonable for Feng Bao to be the censor of etiquette.
Why does Concubine Li have such an attitude? What reasons does she think are valid?
Gao pragmatic suddenly found that he had reached the critical threshold of figuring out Li Guifei's mind. He was only one step away from finding out what Li Guifei was thinking.
If you can figure out what Concubine Li is thinking, then in the next confrontation with Feng Bao, Gao Pragmatic will be on target and not panic at all - you are not afraid of what others want, but you are afraid that you can't figure out what they want!
Standing on a wall for thousands of feet, if you have no desire, you will be strong. As long as we can know the reason why Concubine Li needed Feng Bao to stay in the pen and palm position before and after Long Qing's death, we will definitely be able to find a corresponding way to solve it!
Whether it is to find a way to make Feng Bao lose the specialness of "I have to be", or to find a more suitable person to replace him, there must be a way to think of it.
