Chapter 119: Be Sure to Pay Attention (I)
When Feng Bao heard Zhu Yijun's words beside him, he almost didn't feel happy in his heart.
He had been waiting in Yuwang's Mansion a long time ago, and he knew the mentality of the superior very well, especially for the temperament of Zhu Yijun, the young master, and he thought that he knew much more than Gao Shipra.
Zhu Yijun is indeed a very smart child, but no matter how smart he is, he is also a child, and he has the same temperament that children are used to, and in addition to his temper, he also has an extremely noble identity.
Therefore, most of the time, as the people around him, you can only speak and do things according to his will, and it is not absolutely impossible to disobey him, but you need to have someone more "big" than him as a backing - such as the emperor, such as the concubine, otherwise how can you suppress it?
Of course, Feng Bao already knew that Gao Pragmatic was a smart person, otherwise, even if he was Gao Gong's nephew, he would not be in today's situation. However, he also knew that if Gao Pragmatic followed the prince's words and said that Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan should be punished, then he would face trouble.
It's not that Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan can have the ability to influence the Jingshi side all the way to read Gao Shishi, the nephew and prince of the old Gao Ge, although their status is prominent, but they really don't have that ability.
The real problem is that this note, no matter what it is written, has now been officially approved by the ministry, approved by the cabinet, and approved by the celebrant on behalf of the emperor!
At this time, Gao Shiru jumped out and said: "This treatment is not right, Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan should be punished!" "What does that mean? It means that he is opposing the ministry, opposing the cabinet, and even questioning the emperor!
You are just a classless prince to read, have you gotten so daring!
Oh, you say that private scholars can also discuss politics? Hehe, people are folk scholars, that is the country's reserve talent, but what about you?
First of all, you are not a serious scholar; Secondly, even if you are, your current identity is already an "official", and you are a scholar rather than a speech official, the nature of what you do is called "questioning Shangguan", or even "questioning the monarch's father"!
If you sit down and question Shangguan, wherever you become an official in the future, you will be closely watched, and there is always a pair of small shoes waiting for you; sat down and questioned the monarch's father...... Haha, change to an irascible king, an emperor like Jiajing, it is enough to move out of the court staff directly, and the staff will be killed in front of the steps!
Historically, Gao Gong, as the head of Gu Ming, said "Ten-year-old son of heaven, how to govern the world", which led to such a fiasco, is it not enough for people to understand the truth of "disaster comes from the mouth"? A certain old man in the Qing Dynasty who was very good at being an official, didn't he sum up the six-character mantra of being an official - kowtow more and talk less?
There is no more truth than this.
However, Feng Bao didn't know Gao Shishi's "origin" after all, so he looked away.
Gao Shishi knew as soon as he heard that Zhu Yijun had inadvertently dug a pit for himself, and it was a huge pit. In addition to the above reasons, there is also a very fatal one: if you speak according to the prince's wishes, you will also offend your real "backer" - Sanbo Gaogong.
He's a secretary of the ministry! This "ministry cover" is given by the ministry!
He's still the one who really heads the cabinet! The approval of the cabinet is also his opinion!
It is conceivable that if Gao Gong knew that Gao Cheng was doing this, the first reaction in his mind must be: On the first day of your boy's companionship as the prince, you are ready to slap my third uncle in the face? Are you underdrawn?
But after all, Gao Pragmatic was an old fritter who had been mixed up by the leader's side for a long time, and he just pretended to groan, and then spoke in the "eager anticipation" on the face of Governor Feng.
"Your Highness, in fact, these two have already been punished."
When Gao Shishi said this, his face was extremely serious, as if he was stating a major case with conclusive evidence.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Say "Huh? It was Feng Bao, and his face was sluggish.
Say "Huh? It was Zhu Yijun, and his face was surprised.
The reason why Feng Bao is sluggish is that he himself is the first-ranked eunuch of Bingbi, and he has handled this matter from beginning to end, so how can there be any punishment for Xu Pengju and Liu Shiyan? From the ministry to the cabinet, no one mentioned it, and after listening to the report, the emperor simply said "I know" - this means that it will be done according to the advice of the cabinet.
So Feng Bao was sluggish, he knew that Gao Pragmatic would definitely not speak in front of the king - the prince is also a king, do you want to bully the king? No matter how much he Feng Bao hated the uncle and nephew of the Gao family, he didn't dare to underestimate the "Huangkou Xiaoer" in front of him, he knew that Gao Pragmatic would never be stupid like this, and say something in front of the prince that didn't exist at all and was clear at a glance.
And Zhu Yijun's "Huh? It was because he thought he had missed it, so he was busy picking up the notes and tickets on the bookcase and examining them carefully.
However, even if he checked again and again, he even turned over and looked at the blank reverse page, but he didn't see the half-word disposition of Xu and Liu, let alone punishment.
Zhu Yijun suddenly stretched his little face: "Gao waiter!" Where did you see the punishment for both of them? Why didn't Lone see it? ”
Gao Shishi saw that Zhu Yijun began to officially call him "Gao Shiyu", and his self-proclaimed name was also replaced by "Lonely", knowing that this kid was already angry in his heart, but he still looked calm, but replied respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is literally no punishment, but this ...... In fact, it is punishment. ”
After all, he is still a child, and his curiosity is a little bigger than his temper. After Zhu Yijun heard this, his first reaction was not "How the do you dare to fool me?" Instead, he blurted out, "Uh...... Why? What kind of punishment is this? ”
Feng Bao's reaction was much faster than Zhu Yijun's, as soon as he heard Gao Shishi's words, he knew that this kid was afraid that he was going to rely on his mouth to send the prince away, so he immediately made a decision, and first snorted lightly: "Gao Shixuan!" In front of the prince, why do you make a fool of yourself! If you don't have real evidence, don't ...... False talk! ”
Gao Pragmatic despised Supervisor Feng in his heart: You eunuch is about to fall into the well, can I get up from the well quickly? Don't worry, the battle between the two of us has just begun!
There was no fear on his face, he was still serious, and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has an inappropriate analogy to illustrate this matter. ”
Zhu Yijun frowned, subconsciously feeling that Gao Shishi was going to play some tricks, but he was still curious about what he wanted to say, so he said: "Yes, forgive you for your innocence." ”
Gao Shishi smiled slightly, and said: "Assuming that King Lu grows up in the future, together with His Royal Highness, he makes a mistake and does something wrong, although this matter itself is not particularly serious, but it is still wrong after all...... But later, His Majesty severely punished His Royal Highness King Lu, but did not say a word to His Royal Highness the Prince, and even treated it as if nothing had happened. When he said this, he arched his hand again very formally, and asked, "May I ask what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will do in his heart at that time?" ”
"How so? If I had committed that wrong with my brother, and punished him and not me, would I not be ashamed? Zhu Yijun waved his little hand and said very decisively.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately stunned, and suddenly said, "Oh...... You mean? ”
Gao Shishi bowed solemnly, and said: "The prince is wise, and Weichen is exactly what he means." ”
