Time flies, the white horse flies, and half a year has passed.

Since he lost the confrontation with Gao Pragmatic in front of the prince last time, and was "punished by the emperor by two levels, and temporarily signed the original official for meritorious service", Feng Bao has behaved extremely honestly.

Now he has not only restrained a lot in bribery, but also in the face of high pragmatism, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, the chief eunuch of Dongchang, and the second person in the inner court are accompanied by a smiling face every time, just like a dog that was originally going to bite people, and was kicked in the door after being kicked in the face of the miserable appearance.

Not only that, on many public occasions, when Feng Bao was faced with high pragmatism, his performance could no longer be described by words such as humility, politeness, and respect, but should be described by words such as bowing his head to the ear, bending his eyebrows and bending his waist, and being servile.

Because this situation was so abnormal, the loyal ministers of the outer court inquired one after another, hoping to know the reason. I don't know which person with great magical powers and hands and eyes is full of luxury, who first got the joke of "Gao Shi reads witty words to frustrate Feng Dugong", and the outer court suddenly realized in amazement, and praised this Gao family son is indeed the best candidate for the prince's companion to read, and there are even good people who jokingly call Gao Shiyu today's "Xiaoge Lao", everyone laughed silently, but they also acquiesced.

Gao Pragmatic had to accompany the prince at all times when he was in the palace, and when he returned to the palace, he had to not only have his own schoolwork, but also take into account the career progress summarized from multiple directions, so he never knew what the outside thought of him. It wasn't until this day that the disciples under the high arch met again, and after they saw Gao Pragmatic, they unanimously referred to him as "Little Pavilion Elder", and Gao Pragmatic was shocked, knowing that he had such a nickname outside.

After the surprise, it was a chill down the spine.

Not only did he not feel complacent about his so-called "might" at all, but he saw the danger at a glance.

Little Pavilion Old? What a "little pavilion old"!

Dare to ask who was the last one who was known as the elder of Xiaoge? What the end!

That is Yan Shifan, and in the end he is the son of Yan Song who was beheaded!

The first sentence that came out of Gao Pragmatic's heart at that time was the famous sentence "Do you want to make my house on fire?" ”

As soon as this sentence "Xiaoge Lao" was called, it was equivalent to comparing himself to Yan Shifan, this guy was finally beheaded by the knife, and no one rehabilitated him at all, but you can imagine what kind of role it is, and he must be a traitor with a white face in the opera.

If I go deeper, I am a small pavilion elder who is pragmatic, so who is the old pavilion elder? Alluding to me, the third uncle Gao Gong is the second Yan Song?

How vicious the intentions!

He was a pragmatic man in both worlds, and he never thought of being a foolish and loyal minister like Bigan. Although he has his own ideals and aspirations, he insists that it is meaningless to "be good at seeking a country, but clumsy at seeking a career" - if you can't even seek yourself, how can you have the opportunity to seek a country? Even if you are given some time to seek the country, when you are ruined, how much can you leave behind the results of your country-seeking efforts? How many people can you have left?

Except for a sentence of emotion when posterity reads history, nothing can be left.

Heh, then I'm here to "generate electricity for love"? Oh, not only is it to generate electricity for love, but the electricity is also used by Dr. Yang, the king of lightning to do electrotherapy for himself?

I'm afraid I'm not crazy!

Therefore, the first priority of being a pragmatic official is to protect himself, and after that, things such as displaying his talents and showing his ambitions are the only things that can be achieved. He didn't feel any shame about this, he felt that this was like our army after the failure of the anti-encirclement and suppression, it is great to stay in place and die for the ideal, but it is great to leave the revolutionary fire, and it will not be great to sprinkle this fire all over China in the future?

Greatness is good, but wisdom is even more important. Until the last minute, we will never sacrifice lightly.

So a person like him, of course, is not afraid to speculate on his opponent with the greatest malice, such as this "Little Pavilion Elder", which made him subconsciously suspect that Feng Bao was the ghost.

This is very possible, because Feng Bao's attitude suddenly changed after suffering a loss half a year ago, which itself aroused Gao Pragmatic's vigilance, and he didn't feel that Feng Bao had given up the struggle at all - to his position, did he say that he could give up if he gave up?

Further, it is the top of the clouds; Take a step back, that's an abyss!

Who else can really take this step back?

Did Li Shimin have a way out before the Xuanwumen Incident? Did Zhu Di have a way out before the Battle of Jingjing was launched?

Feng Bao had no way out, because Gao Gong couldn't retreat - his sense of responsibility and mission made him unable to tolerate the possibility of a second Liu Jin in the future, so he couldn't retreat either.

Although Zhang Juzheng finally chose to ally with Feng Bao in history, if Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were reversed now, Zhang Juzheng would not accept Feng Bao - I have Meng Chong's poor but obedient enough master of ceremonies to cooperate, so what else do you Feng Bao do?

Can you be as obedient as Meng Chong? No way!

Changing a pig on the countertop, it doesn't have much trouble except eating more, anyway, I have the idea behind it; But if there's a fox on the table, do you think it's as obedient as a pig?

No, it will make its own assertions, and even fake it!

This contradiction is not reconciled at all, and with Feng Bao's wisdom, he is enough to see this, so all his shows of favor and weakness, no matter how far he goes, even if it is like Gou Jian back then, to taste King Wu's poop, his fundamental purpose is nothing more than to paralyze the opponent and wait for the opportunity to give a fatal blow.

It's just that Feng Bao is not a mediocre person after all, like the villain in some TV series, he has to fight for anything stupid, and he doesn't seem to be worthy of being a traitor if he doesn't fly high. Feng Bao's performance was just the opposite, he not only was submissive in front of Gao Gong, just like the little eunuch who had just entered the palace and was afraid of slacking off when he saw the old man of the big pavilion, and even behaved respectfully in front of Gao Pragmatic.

This has created an illusion that now the master of ceremonies has become a lackey under the old Gao Ge from the palm print to the first pen, and the general trend of the world has been in the hands of the old Gao Ge.

And because of Feng Bao's abnormal "confession", the pressure on Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji in the cabinet suddenly increased, even if Li Chunfang is still the first assistant, Zhao Zhenji is still in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but with the overall "refuge" of the "inner court" Gao Gong, Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji's votes were sent back to ask for redrafting, but Gao Gong's votes were always not easy to directly reply "according to", and the two only felt that there was a big mountain pressing down from the top of their heads, which made people breathless.

In fact, the actual blow to Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji was very small, because the emperor was not unwilling to listen to Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji, but the celebrant could always find some inexplicable reasons and ask Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji to reformulate it - the actual content may not change at all - and over time, the authority of the two cabinet elders will naturally be seriously affected.

In this case, Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji couldn't think about it, so they had to ask Chen Yiqin for help.
