Feng Bao continued to convene the big men of the East Factory to play with Gao Pragmatic to find faults, but unexpectedly, something happened unexpectedly.

The next day, after Zhang Juzheng wrote the draft vote and Feng Bao approved the resolution on the handling of Liu Fenyong and Cao Dayu as usual, the ministers in Beijing felt that the big thing was not good, because the resolution could not even be called a punishment, and as a punishment for the handling of the fallen auxiliary ministers, the intensity was too light: Liu Fenyong was transferred to Xingguo Zhizhou, and Cao Dayu was transferred to Qianzhou as a judge.

Why do you say light? Liu Fenyong was originally Shang Baoqing, a fifth-grade official. Although this Shang Baoqing is a Beijing official, and his duty is to take charge of the treasure seal, talisman and seal for the emperor, he is also called a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but in fact, this is a position without much real power, and he often gives favor to the children of some old and important ministers.

Xingguo Prefecture is a state to which Wuchang Prefecture belongs, and its Zhizhou is from the five products. From Shang Baoqing to Xingguo Zhizhou, the grade is only reduced from the fifth grade to the fifth grade, and the real power is ...... Maybe it's even more.

And what about Cao Dayu? Originally, he was a seventh-grade householder, according to the emperor's edict, not only to demote and transfer to a foreign office, but also to require "heavy and strict punishment", and as a result, he was transferred to Qianzhou for general judgment, this is a seven-grade official - this is called "heavy and strict"?

You must know that although the general judgment is within a state, it is the "third in command" below the governor and the same knowledge, but because the general judgment also has the responsibility of supervising the governor, many times even the governor has to give the general judgment a few thin faces, which is not a false job.

The result of this treatment, in layman's terms, is not to give high arch face.

The ministers of the court were not mistaken, this treatment really angered Gao Gong, and this time he didn't even listen to Gao Shishi's persuasion, and wrote a sparse essay again that night.

The next day, Gui Chou, the scholar of the Middle Pole Temple, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Gao Gong begged again, and said: "The way of the minister, the upper one serves the country with his body, and the second one does not dare to humiliate the country with his body." If he does not know the progress and retreat, and is in power in vain, he will humiliate the country with his body, and the crime of the minister will be greater. What is the future of the world? ”

This time, Gao Gong simply didn't mention what crime he was accused of, and he didn't explain more, the meaning of the whole Shuwen was quite straightforward: If I don't retreat, some people will always stare at me and bite, saying that I am greedy for power, so good, I won't explain, I will resign.

This is troublesome, because according to the convention, when the cabinet ministers are so sparse, the emperor can only make a choice question: if the cabinet is retained, the false accuser must be severely punished; If you don't punish those who make false accusations, it means that the ministers can go - that's how Zhao Zhenji went home last time.

Entering the Qianqing Palace, the emperor saw it and was a little dazed. He couldn't figure out what was going on at all, and he was still thinking in his heart: I obviously disposed of Liu Fenyong and Cao Dayu, the two guys who talked about it in vain, why did Mr. still resign?

Long Qing held back his temperament, and while ordering someone to find Feng Baolai, intending to ask about the matter, he went to see another recital, but Meng Chong silently brought over a large number of recitals, which seemed to have at least dozens of copies.

The Emperor was astonished, for since he contracted the disease, the celebrant had minimized the number of recitals that had been approved directly by him, and most of them had been approved directly by the Cabinet...... Why did Meng Chong take the wrong medicine today?

Who knew that Meng Chong was also embarrassed, and said cautiously: "Emperor, these are all the recitals of Jiuqing and the officials of the Daoyan Dynasty asking the emperor to comfort Yuanfu. According to the ancestral system, the performance of Jiuqing and the Taoist officials, the celebrant must not let His Majesty know...... As for the other ministers and ministers who advised the emperor to comfort Yuanfu, the slaves and maids have already pressed it first, and they haven't brought it to you yet. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was even more surprised, this matter has obviously been dealt with, why did he continue to make trouble for Mr. to continue to ask for retreat, and Jiuqing and Kedao to ask for comfort and stay behind? What went wrong?

He had to open the sparse one by one to see, it turned out that these sparse were indeed the ministers of Jiuqing led by Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu and the Ministry of Soldiers, and the six departments to the affairs of the middle of the matter, and the thirteen imperial history Tang Lian, etc., each of them asked for comfort to stay in the university scholar Gao Gong.

After the emperor saw it, he could only order Meng Chong to give a condolence in his name, saying: Yuan Fu resigned, I have already praised him, and I have not listened to him, and the ministers do not need to worry.

At this time, Feng Bao came.

Feng Bao didn't know what was going on, he had just been found from Dongchang, and he was still in a state of confusion, and after coming in, he bowed to the emperor according to his usual habits, and then stood up straight and waited for the emperor to ask.

Who knew that Long Qing glanced at him coldly, and said with a gloomy face: "Kneel down and speak." ”

It stands to reason that with Feng Bao's status, it is normal to bow down when he sees the emperor, after all, he has the title of "Eunuch of Dongchang", and he can even call himself a "minister" in front of the emperor, but now the emperor actually asked him to kneel directly, where did he not know that something was wrong!

Feng Bao's heart tightened, and he quickly knelt down. In line with the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and saying more and making more mistakes, he prostrated himself and slammed his head on the ground, but he didn't say a word.

Long Qing asked coldly: "Yesterday, you were asked to send a decree to deal with Liu Fenyong and Cao Dayu, two stupid things, what did you do?" ”

As soon as the emperor asked, Feng Bao knew what was going on, he didn't care about Zhang Juzheng, and immediately said: "Emperor Mingjian, the slave maid took the emperor's edict and went to the cabinet, and told Zhang Ge Lao the edict and the emperor's meaning. The specific disposition was Zhang Ge's old will, and the slave maid looked at it, and it was indeed a demote, so she was approved. ”

Feng Dugong's acting skills are exquisite, and there is some panic in his eyes, but more of them are puzzled, vivid, and vivid.

Long Qing looked at it, didn't see any loopholes for a while, frowned and asked, "What kind of demoted foreign appointment, you made it clear!" ”

Feng Bao said: "Back to the emperor: Liu Fenyong moved to Xingguo Zhizhou, and Cao Dayu was transferred to Qianzhou for general judgment. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there were two kinds of states, one was Zhili Prefecture and the other was Sanzhou, and the rank status was somewhat different. Long Qing didn't remember which type of Xingguo Prefecture and Qianzhou were, so he turned his head to look at Meng Chong.

Although Meng Chong's level is average, the basic business can still be done, and he hurriedly said: "Emperor, these two states are all scattered states, Xingguo Zhizhou is from the fifth grade, and Qianzhou is judged from the seventh grade." ”

"Liu Fenyong is also okay, then Cao Dayu is named by me to be dealt with strictly, why is it only from the seventh grade to the seventh grade?" Long Qing patted the armrest and asked angrily, "What did you tell Mr. Zhang?" ”

Feng Bao secretly scolded in his heart: Obviously, Zhang Juzheng is unwilling to deal with his apprentice grandson, what is the matter?

Of course, unless he is tired of saying this, he will definitely not be able to say it, so he can only say aggrievedly: "Emperor, the slave and maid do what you want, everything that should be said has been said, why does Zhang Ge Lao prepare the decree like this, and where can the slave and maid understand this ability?" Or...... The emperor asked Zhang Ge to come over and ask? ”

"...... Xuan" Long Qing subconsciously wanted to say "Mr. Xuanzhang is here to see", but the word "Xuan" was spoken, and he stopped again, thought about it, and changed his words: "Forget it." ”

Then he motioned for Meng Chong to step forward and help him stand up, walked to the bookcase, and said, "Meng Chong, prepare paper." Feng Bao, you come to study ink. ”

Meng Chong spread out a banner for the emperor, and cautiously persuaded: "Emperor, if you have something to say to Zhang Ge Lao, let the slaves and maids pass on a message, the imperial doctor said......"

The emperor interrupted him with a wave of his hand, sighed, and said, "I don't want to move, but now...... Forget it, just write a few words, it won't get in the way. ”

Feng Bao finished the ink, bowed to the side, and quietly looked at the emperor.

Long Qing stepped forward, stretched out his swollen right hand, lifted the pen with some difficulty, thought about it, wrote down four words tremblingly, threw the imperial pen casually, and gasped: "Send it to Mr. Zhang." ”

The emperor may be tired, and he didn't say who to send it, Meng Chong didn't dare to throw the emperor away to do this, and hurriedly helped the emperor back to the imperial bed, and glanced at Feng Bao again.

Feng Bao understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to get the emperor's Chenhan, but saw that the four words written by the emperor were "harmony".
