Chapter 482: After the Turmoil
Recent. The atmosphere in the DPRK and China was very strange.
Because of Minister Wang's assassination of Zhu Yijun. Some time ago, there was a lot of trouble in the DPRK and China, and there were some ups and downs. Everyone is at risk. Everyone knew Feng Bao's intentions. Planting high arches. Then the bloodbath of those in the court who did not agree with him. Many people are afraid that Feng Bao will succeed once he succeeds. Whether it will have an impact on yourself. So inside that time. People are a little nervous.
Speaking of which, though. This lasted only a day. Afterwards. After Minister Wang was ordered to be killed by the "angry" Feng Bao. None of these emotions are there. The crisis was naturally resolved.
But. This matter is for Feng Baolai. It can already be said that it is over. For others, however. Things didn't completely dissipate. But at this time. It's not that scary atmosphere anymore. Rather, it's more ...... Interesting.
The reason is because Feng Bao can be described as "stealing chickens and rice" this time. Not only did he not succeed in planting the blame for the high arch. On the contrary, he almost put himself in. It turned out. It's almost exhaustive. Feng Bao, Feng Gonggong, and Feng Eunuch, who can plan everything. There are also times when you are deflated. And either not come. If it's coming, it's big. I almost lost my own.
But there is something interesting to play this time. If it was in the past. What if something like this happens. It doesn't matter whether the person who was falsely accused was wronged or not. Or how faithful and honest that person is. As soon as this kind of thing comes out. Naturally, it is necessary to suspend and find out before speaking. This time, however. Something like this happened to Feng Bao. But no one complained about it. The emperor of the court and the Empress Dowager Li knew about it, and they did not suspect Feng Bao. And the ministers below did not have any doubts about not taking Feng Bao to blame.
I don't know if it's because of this time. Everyone didn't believe that Feng Bao would do this. But that's not the reason. Feng Bao was a eunuch after all. The royal family does not pursue it. It doesn't mean that the following ministers will turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.
The only explanation is. Everyone wanted this to be over sooner. Don't get in any more trouble. If Feng Bao is pursued for these reasons now. Maybe Feng Bao was depressed for a while. Something will be done. That's not what anyone wants to see.
This naturally became a place where everyone wanted to laugh at Feng Bao. Although said. This time, Feng Bao suffered a big loss. But neither the emperor nor the empress dowager had any intention of pursuing it. Then Feng Bao's power in his hands has not shrunk in the slightest. So. The crowd laughed. It should also be placed in private. I don't talk about these things in a public place.
But the question is. Feng Bao is the palm seal eunuch of the East Factory. It's no surprise that the East Plant is well-informed. This is something that even Dongchang doesn't know about in this world. It is estimated that it is also rare. So. These ministers said bad things about Feng Bao in private. Feng Bao is all clear. But it's just a matter of fact. This time Feng Bao couldn't do anything. Can't speak ill of those who spoke ill of him. Those who despised him took action. Even warn them. Feng Bao couldn't do it.
This kind of being scolded by others. But they can't talk back. I'm afraid not many people can accept it. Not to mention Feng Bao, a powerful eunuch. So Feng Bao during this time. Appearing in front of others' eyes is. There is always a stinking expression on his face. It seems that anyone has a grudge against him for killing his father and mother.
This farce is over. But there is still a question here.
Because Feng Bao was extremely angry at Minister Wang's sudden retraction of his confession. In addition, Ge Shouli didn't want to let the matter drag on anymore. Minister Wang was killed by Feng Bao. And this. And buried a secret forever.
Wang Dacheng entered the palace that day. What exactly is it for. It was really to enter the palace to give the order. Or is it just to assassinate someone? And if he really wanted to assassinate Zhu Yijun. This certainly won't be his mind alone. He's a little captain. Even if there is some deep hatred. That will definitely not be counted on the emperor's head. So. If he really entered the palace to assassinate Zhu Yijun. There must have been someone behind him.
Originally. This kind of thing threatens the emperor's safety. It has to be investigated to get to the bottom of the story to be reassuring. And yet all this. All of them were furious with Feng Bao. Kill the king's minister and disappear. Whatever the story behind it. Now they have all gone with the king's ministers.
For this matter. Empress Dowager Li was very dissatisfied with Feng Bao. I trained him for a long time. And for this. The inventory in the palace is more rigorous. One of the most obvious. It doesn't matter how important the military information you have. No one is allowed to enter the palace. I had to wait outside the palace. Give the letter to the palace. And. There are also more guards guarding Zhu Yijun. This made Zhu Yijun, who was already not very happy about being the emperor, even less free. For this. Zhu Yijun also hated Feng Bao even more.
These. Feng Bao knows it all. But he had nowhere to vent. He can't find someone to complain to. Nor can he take these thoughts out on the ministers who mock him. So. Feng Bao now only has those who go to harm him. That is, the little eunuch in the celebrant eunuch. There are also the people from the East Factory.
Those little eunuchs can be regarded as bitter. No matter what you do. As long as it is a little unsatisfactory found by Feng Bao. It was dragged out and beaten severely. And beat the little eunuchs under his own hands. Feng Bao is bound to be there. It seems that he is venting his displeasure in this way. And. There was no need for him to do anything inward or outwardly on his toes. All shouted "Hit." Beat me to death." The eunuchs who were executed naturally did not dare to be soft. It's also ruthless.
After the end of the events of the king's ministers. In just one month of events. More than ten eunuchs were killed in the palace. There are even more cripples. But no one dared to speak up.
And for the East Factory side. Feng Bao gave the order to die. They had to find out who was behind the king's ministers. But now. The king's minister is dead. Even the corpses are rotten. And he is unrelated and unprovoked. There's no way to start. This can be regarded as a bitter group of people who are used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays. All day long, he ran around like a mad dog. I hope to find any clues related to Minister Wang. But so many days down. Minister Wang's affairs have found out a lot. But there is nothing that can be more related to his assassination of Zhu Yijun.
This also made Feng Bao even more angry. But that's it. It's all Feng Bao's own troubles. And his troubles. For a lot of people. It's a good thing.
One more thing. It is also related to the king's ministers. This minister Wang is a sergeant under Qi Jiguang. Now he was killed for the most serious crime of "assassinating the emperor". Then Qi Jiguang, who is the main general, naturally can't ignore it.
The day after the king was killed. Qi Jiguang, who got the news, didn't say a word. Hurry up and go straight to the capital. Qi Jiguang's purpose in coming to the capital was very simple. He is here to plead guilty. Even. Qi Jiguang had already prepared for the worst in his heart.
However, what Qi Jiguang didn't expect was. He came to the capital. met with the emperor and the queen mother. told me about my crimes. They are ready to die to atone. But Empress Dowager Li didn't do anything to him at all. Not even the most basic charge of lax discipline was charged to him.
It's also very simple. Anyone understands it. The importance of Qi Jiguang's location now. He guarded Jizhou. It can be said that it is the most important barrier for the Tartar defense in the capital. Although the north is now peaceful. But two hundred years of war. Especially after experiencing the most dangerous events such as the Tumu Fort Incident on the way. It does not make the imperial court and the royal family completely reassured about the north. So. At that time, Longqing transferred Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese front line on the eastern coast to the north.
So. Qi Jiguang couldn't move. Especially his Qi family's army, which is now the most powerful in the entire Ming Dynasty. I can't move. And the Qi family's army. It was created by Qi Jiguang himself. Qi Jiguang is the Qi family's army. So. Even if Qi Jiguang doesn't come to the capital this time. The queen mother's ministers in the court and the central government are also no one who will go to Qi Jiguang's trouble.
So. The conclusion is. Qi Jiguang came this time. It's completely redundant. Of course. Although this is the case. But no one thinks so. Qi Jiguang's reputation in the court is very good. He has this kind of action. Naturally, the crowd can understand.
Until now. I finally got the whole idea. The rest are those who are unwilling to enter Feng Bao. It has gradually returned to its former appearance.
There was only one person. Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng is in the eyes of others. The Empress Dowager Li was invited to the third division of the trial. It did help a lot. Because of this, many people have more respect for Zhang Juzheng. But for those who understand the inside story. All understand. What Zhang Juzheng did in this matter is a little inappropriate.
If it weren't for Ge Shouli at the beginning, he used some things to force him to play Empress Dowager Li. If you ask the three divisions to triage. Zhang Juzheng will still be towards Feng Bao. Zhang Juzheng's reluctant performance. It did help a lot. If there is no such note. What will turn out of things. It was really unexpected.
Like Ge Shouli, Yang Bo and others. For Zhang Juzheng's thoughts after this incident. There has been a big turnaround. They still identify with Zhang Juzheng's talent for governing the country. But he no longer appreciates his way of being an official. This. may be the biggest failure of Zhang Juzheng's life. But he doesn't think so. Or rather, he already realized. But I didn't feel embarrassed.
Only. Only Zhang Fan. For Zhang Juzheng's thoughts. It's getting more complicated.
