"Plop!" With a sound, Feng Bao knelt down without hesitation, slammed his head on the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "Master, Master Mingjian, the slave maid is just a pen, although I felt a little inappropriate at the time, but Meng Zhangyin didn't speak, and the slave didn't dare to say anything!" ”

His hand only drew a sneer in Gao Shishi's heart: Sample, how does my hand compare to what you wanted to do before? You want to see me offend the emperor, the cabinet, and the officials, but I jumped out of it all. However, with my hand, can you jump out of the most critical level of the emperor, the level of the cabinet and the ministry?

That's right, Feng Bao's hand is broken to survive, which can only ensure that he will not be "deducted" too ruthlessly on the emperor's side, after all, the facts are indeed as he said, Meng Chong, as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, did not speak, although he, the eunuch of Bingbi, did not say that he could not speak, but normally, Bingbi skipped the palm print in this case to question, it does have some meaning of "destroying the internal unity of the master of ceremonies", and it is mostly understandable to Emperor Longqing.

In this way, even if Gao Pragmatic just pressed Feng Baoqiang with a big hat that he couldn't speak openly to the emperor, he wouldn't be able to kill him with one move. For eunuchs, if there is strong support from the outer court, it is of course the icing on the cake, but only the emperor's trust comes first, because all the power of eunuchs comes from the emperor in the final analysis.

Therefore, Feng Bao's choice, Gao Pragmatic expected it from the beginning, but he also expected that Feng Bao's choice would offend the cabinet and officials.

Gao Gong has long been wary of Feng Bao, if he is offended, he will be offended, but his face is even more ugly. Gao Pragmatism's real ruthlessness lies in the fact that at this moment, Feng Bao also offended Zhang Juzheng.

Because Xu Pengju's case itself was caused by Liu Xian's incident, and Zhang Juzheng, both public and private, supported Liu Xian's rehabilitation and crackdown on Xu Pengju at that time, both public and private - Liu Xian is a person who can fight, and he Xu Pengju has a fart for the country?

Although Gao Pragmatism was bent on bringing down Zhang Juzheng, he did not doubt that Zhang Juzheng had reform ideals and was a pragmatic person who paid attention to the application of the world, at least a hundred times better than those mediocre bureaucrats. Therefore, although Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng have begun to show signs of separation, they are real allies in the matter of cracking down on Xu Pengju and overturning the case for Liu Xian.

In this way, Feng Bao wanted to survive because he had to break his tail, although he somewhat retained his image in the emperor's mind, but he directly stood on the opposite side of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.

Don't ask why Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng want to crack down on Xu Pengju, but they refuse to punish him - once Xu Pengju's case is handled, the reason for Liu Xian's reinstatement does not need to be specially explained, and Xu Pengju will never dare to jump out and make irresponsible remarks - this kind of cloudy and foggy and roundabout treatment is very common in officialdom, if you can't even understand this, then you don't have to mix in officialdom.

Why can't people like Hai Jui get along? He's not incorruptible? Is he disloyal? Is he too poor? Naturally not, it's just because he ignored the officialdom's own set of rules and offended too many people too many times too often.

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 insisted on refusing to let him go, was relieved of his position as governor of Yingtian by Gao Gong, and only the governor's grain storage was gone. It is nothing more than the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, at least for now, it is not popular to put a subordinate official who has "lying flat and being ridiculed" to death. Even if Gao Gong is so powerful, you have to consider the impact - whether you reform or not, that is a problem of your governing thinking, but if you chase and beat an old man who has bowed and stepped down, it is your character problem!

In the Ming Dynasty, a civil official's ability to govern can not be good, you see Li Chunfang, his ability is limited, and his level is average, but he can do it. However, if a civil official's character is recognized as bad, it is a rabbit's tail, which can't grow, and he will be scolded even after death.

Just as Feng Bao was bent on revenge on Gao Gong's suppression of him, Gao Pragmatic was bent on breaking up the interest alliance between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng.

Although there seems to be no formal alliance between Feng and Zhang now, Gao Pragmatic does not dare to be careless, as long as there is an opportunity for them to have a conflict between them, he will definitely not let it go.

This was the case just now, it was originally a "random" event, Zhu Yijun inadvertently dug a big hole for Gao Pragmatic, but after Gao Pragmatic saw Feng Bao's performance, he simply didn't do anything, causing trouble to the east, but it made Feng Bao suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, Feng Bao was not slow to understand his situation, and directly showed the first form of the eunuch's survival secret, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, which could be regarded as barely allowing Zhu Yijun to suppress his anger. I saw the little prince snort coldly and said, "You go and explain this to Your Majesty yourself." ”

Gao Pragmatic shook his head secretly on the side, and said in his heart: Count you as a castration escaped.

He knew that before Feng Bao went to explain to Emperor Longqing, he would definitely go to his real backer, 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 "watch the child" for herself......

Wait! Wait, wait......

Gao Shishi's heart suddenly flashed in his heart, and he thought of a very important thing: when Emperor Longqing was in power in history, Feng Bao had been pressed in the position of the first pen and could not move, and Li Guifei, as Feng Bao's backer, seemed to have never exerted force in this regard, what is the reason for this?

Li Guifei is afraid of high arches? I'm afraid not - she is neither an official nor an eunuch, she is a concubine, as long as there is no immorality, it is impossible to find a reason that is unfavorable to her.

So looking back, in history, Longqing had just died, and Feng Bao actually dared to appoint himself as the master of ceremonies, is there no problem in this?

No way!

If it weren't for Concubine Li's approval—she was already the emperor's biological mother at that time—how could Feng Bao dare to be overbearing?

That is to say: first, when Zhu Yijun was the crown prince, Li Guifei thought that it was reasonable for Feng Bao to be the first to write; Second, after Zhu Yijun ascended the throne as emperor, Li Guifei thought that it was reasonable for Feng Bao to be the master of ceremonies.

Why does Li Guifei have such an attitude? What do she think is reasonable?

Gao Pragmatic suddenly found that he had reached the edge of the critical threshold of finding out Li Guifei's thoughts, and he was only one step away from the door to figure out what Li Guifei was thinking.

If you can figure out what Li Guifei thinks in her heart, then in the next confrontation with Feng Bao, Gao Pragmatic can be targeted and not panicked at all - I'm not afraid that others will need, I'm afraid that I can't figure out what people want!

The wall is thousands of feet, and there is no desire to be rigid. As long as you can know the reason why Li Guifei needs Feng Bao to stay in the position of Bingbi and palm print before and after Longqing's death, you will definitely be able to find a corresponding way to crack it!

Whether it is to find a way to make Feng Bao lose the particularity of "I have to be", or to find a more suitable person to replace him, there must be a way to think of it anyway.
