Chapter 776: Calm is needed
"It's just that although he said so, it always makes people feel uneasy," it was Sun Piyang who spoke, even if Zhang Siwei said it so surely, and after receiving the news from his subordinates just now, Sun Piyang still couldn't put his mind at ease about it, it's not that Sun Piyang was too indecisive, otherwise he wouldn't have the ability to sit in the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, but there is a reason why he will be like this.
The reason why Sun Piyang is so worried is really because of Feng Bao, and the few things he did before have really left a lot of deep "impressions" in the hearts of the ministers in the court.
At the beginning, since the death of Longqing, it has actually begun, and the content of the edict has already made the officials in the DPRK and China slandered, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than 100 years, and it can be regarded as what kind of things have been encountered, and the matter of the supervisor chaotic government, although Liu Jin was not too big a fuss back then, but that was also true, and although the Zhengde Dynasty has been a long time ago, but in fact, it has only passed the emperors of the two dynasties, which is still fresh in people's memories.
However, on Longqing's edict and on the list of future auxiliary ministers, Feng Bao's name appeared impressively, which had to make people suspicious, and, in the final analysis, although Longqing also trusted Feng Bao very much, but Longqing didn't like Feng Bao, how to say it, Longqing didn't seem to like eunuchs very much, of course, if you look at it this way, in fact, Longqing is also quite good for Feng Bao.
All in all, a eunuch as an auxiliary government, it is really too disobedient, but for the people in the court, their feeling is nothing more, but there is no further consideration, after all, Longqing himself is a maverick emperor, in fact, it seems that any emperor of the Ming Dynasty is different, have their own characteristics, if Longqing really made this decision, although he is against it in his heart, but he understands, it is not impossible.
This is also why, Gao Gong, who learned the news at that time, was very angry, but after all, he did not go to Longqing or Empress Dowager Li to verify the truth of this matter.
And since the day Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, Feng Bao has stood by Zhu Yijun's side, even when he was in the last dynasty, he accepted the bowing of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces very calmly, and he did not shy away from it at all, which made the ministers below very unhappy, but since even the emperor didn't say anything, and the Empress Dowager Li didn't control it, what was the use of them asking again.
And it was from that time that Feng Bao had capital in his hands, and because of this, Feng Bao's way of dealing with people had changed, no longer like in the past, he had to find a suitable reason, and he had to have a solid basis, even if it was a false accusation, he had to be completely prepared, and from that time on, Feng Bao became a little arrogant.
And after that, in the battle between him and Gao Gong, in the end, it ended with Feng Bao's victory, after Gao Gong was expelled from the capital, Zhang Juzheng among the ministers took the lead, but Zhang Juzheng also stood with Feng Bao, and now, in the imperial court, there are not many people who can have capital not to listen to Feng Bao's mercy, and they must enter people like Ge Shouli, he has this capital and does not follow Feng Bao's tone, Feng Bao has no way to take him, but that's all, what Ge Shouli can do is only end here.
After Gao Gong left, Feng Bao was calling for wind and rain in the court, and the family was dominant, fortunately, he himself did not have any "ambitions", plus Feng Bao's talent was also affirmed by the ministers, and now this court is more stable and more positive than the previous one, but in this situation, no one will like it, and no one hopes for this, and although this situation looks good, people are trembling, Some are afraid that they have done something that will make Feng Bao unpleasant and cause trouble, while others are afraid that Feng Bao will turn over old accounts.
Now, what Sun Piyang is worried about is caused by Feng Bao's factors, after Feng Bao expelled his biggest enemy Gao Gong, he began to absorb his subordinates while strengthening his own power, in addition, what Feng Bao is still doing is to fight political enemies, and this time, what Feng Bao is doing is not just that simple, the object of Feng Bao's attack is not only those who have had a "deep hatred" with him in the past, even those who have had some small friction with him before, He didn't let it go.
There is no need to mention the old hatred, after all, Feng Bao now has the strength and stands at the peak, it is naturally normal to fiddle with them, and to fight those who did not have much hatred with him in the past, in fact, in the final analysis, it is Feng Bao who is just Liwei, he is telling these people, and also telling those who have no old hatred with him, but also have some thoughts in their hearts, don't think about finding trouble for yourself, you are just killing chickens and monkeys.
It's just that although people don't say it, almost everyone feels in their hearts that Feng Bao is doing this a bit too much, in fact, when Zhu Yijun just succeeded to the throne, people didn't have this idea, after all, there was a high arch in the court at that time, and if you really talk about it, the power of the high arch is greater than Feng Bao's, and even if the two fight each other, it will affect others, but as long as the vision is accurate, it can still be done alone.
But as soon as Gao Gong fell, in fact, all the people understood that the feng shui of the imperial court had actually come to an end a long time ago, and now Feng Bao's family was dominant, and no one could argue with him anymore, so Feng Bao's subsequent actions seemed to many people to be superfluous.
But now, Sun Piyang suddenly realized that he understood why Feng Bao would do this, Feng Bao would do this, it was definitely not a superfluous move, nor was it useless, but it had a great significance, just like Sun Piyang now, even if he understood, everything now is beneficial to Zhang Siwei, but Sun Piyang still feels unsteady in his heart, and always feels a little uneasy, it is already a sure thing, but he still feels a little inappropriate.
At this time, Sun Piyang suddenly understood Feng Bao's intention to do this, yes, it was to affect people's hearts, saying that, although it is useless for the facts, things should be how they are, how they should be, but the so-called things are man-made, things always have to be done by people, if the people who do things are restless, it is easy to make mistakes, and if something goes wrong, there will be any consequences of deviating from the original track, then I don't know.
All in all, Feng Bao's trick is quite effective, but ......
Sun Piyang, who was restless, raised his head and was about to say something, but he saw that Chen Wenchuan, Zhang Fan, and the person concerned, Zhang Siwei, were also very calm.
Yes, what Feng Bao affects is only people's hearts, and the reason why they are shaken is because their minds are not strong, Zhang Fan and Chen Wenchuan are okay to say, after all, Zhang Fan's identity is there, maybe he has already thought of some way, or maybe he can let himself get out, and Chen Wenchuan is there, after all, he also has such a relationship with Zhang Fan, and the calmness of these two people, Sun Piyang can understand.
But what about Zhang Siwei, after all, he was involved in this matter, and if he was not careful, it would be a big trouble, as long as the crime was implemented, it would not be enough to say that he would lose his official position, and his life would definitely be lost, but in the face of this situation, Zhang Siwei was extremely calm.
Is it really because he is not afraid of death, Sun Piyang thinks that it is not, no matter what, or it is better than death, and he doesn't believe that Zhang Siwei can't see the truth in this, in this matter, he can't lose to Feng Bao, he must win, from Zhang Siwei himself, there is naturally no need to explain, and from the perspective of the Great Dao, once Feng Bao can successfully pull Zhang Siwei down, then the consequences are unimaginable.
Although Feng Bao's family is the dominant one now, in the final analysis, there is still a force in the court that can compete with him, and the group of people standing in the middle is numerous, although they don't care about it, they won't like Feng Bao, if they encounter any situation in the future, these people can still stand up against Feng Bao.
But if this matter is allowed to succeed, the situation will be very different, not to mention that no one will dare to stand up against Feng Bao, but there will definitely be fewer people, in this case, this is definitely a situation that everyone does not want to see.
And Zhang Siwei is such a person, he is also extremely concerned about national affairs, and it is impossible for him not to consider this situation, so even for Zhang Siwei himself, he can't lose this time.
In that case, Zhang Siwei himself must be extremely nervous, but now Zhang Siwei has a relaxed appearance, not at all like he has his life and the kind of moral responsibility on his body, which makes Sun Piyang can't help but laugh at himself, everyone in it can be so free and easy, and he is an outsider, what is the tension.
"By the way, I don't know when the day of the trial will be," Zhang Siwei asked.
"Tomorrow," Sun Piyang said, "I said it when His Majesty's holy decree came down before, when Lord Zhang arrived in the capital, he immediately began to try the case, and Lord Zhang also knew that this matter was very serious, not only the emperor, but also the Empress Dowager Li was also very concerned, and it was better to solve it as soon as possible,"
"Well," after listening to Sun Piyang's words, Zhang Siwei didn't say anything more, just nodded.
But Zhang Fan lowered his head, thinking about something,
