Chapter 539: A Chaotic Situation
The next day, above the early dynasty, just as the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were confidently looking forward to the issuance of the edict that Ge Shouli would take over as the secretary of the ministry, even Ge Shouli himself, who was usually able to be moody, felt that he had done this Shangshu matter, but he got an answer that could not satisfy them.
Sure enough, the person who took over the post of secretary of the ministry was not Ge Shouli, but just a complete mediocrity, and this person had clearly fallen under Feng Bao a long time ago.
In this regard, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were very angry, and there was obviously something inside in this matter, but anger was anger, but since this edict had been issued, there was no room for change.
What makes everyone puzzled is that they don't know why they would fall in love with such a mediocre talent, although now both the Empress Dowager Li and the little emperor Zhu Yijun trust Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng very much, but I think these two are not so partial to these two, so that regardless of the overall situation of the imperial court, such an important position of the secretary of the ministry is handed over to the hands of a mediocre talent, obviously something happened behind this.
However, this is just everyone's speculation, although this speculation is very reliable, and the fact is that it is like that, but people who don't know the truth naturally have no right to say anything, besides, now that the Empress Dowager Li is in charge of the government, if this is what the Empress Dowager Li means, then they can only admit it, although it is okay to ask for an explanation, but after all, it is the Empress Dowager, not what these ministers want to see.
And Ge Shouli himself, although he was not able to take over the position of the secretary of the ministry, he was also a little disappointed, but Ge Shouli is Ge Shouli, he is not the kind of person who will make trouble because of a little thing, so although he is disappointed, he is not particularly obsessed with this.
However, when they knew that this edict, including the selection of candidates and other matters, was completely decided by Zhu Yijun alone, the expressions of these ministers were different, after all, as long as it was the emperor, they could go to see it, and they could also ask, and even ask why the emperor did not let Ge Shouli take over the position of secretary of the ministry.
These ministers now have a certain sense of agitation, but the more this is done, the more the people gathered together will contag each other's feelings, and the more this sentiment will be intensified.
Even Ge Shouli, who learned what this group of people were going to do, frequently stopped them, but obviously, Ge Shouli couldn't say anything about this group of people.
They can't even think that even if they question Zhu Yijun, or Zhu Yijun is said by them, they feel that they have done something wrong, but there are some things that have been said or done, especially things like holy decrees and edicts, there is no way to change them, even if Zhu Yijun realizes that he is wrong, what can he do, at most, at most, he feels sorry in his heart, besides, he is an emperor after all, he must maintain the demeanor and demeanor of the emperor, in the final analysis, At most, he used people inappropriately, but it didn't get to the point of doing something wrong, and it was impossible for him to apologize to the ministers or anything.
Moreover, this group of people never thought that how old Zhu Yijun is now, but he is only ten years old, and he is most easily bewitched by others and makes improper decisions, they only want to find Zhu Yijun to ask for an explanation, but they have never thought about finding out who is behind the scenes.
In short, these people are playing together, wanting to see Zhu Yijun, and in the face of so many people's requests for an audience, whether it is Zhu Yijun, Feng Bao, or Zhang Juzheng, there is no way to refuse.
So, a group of people came to Zhu Yijun, and all of them had angry expressions on their faces, but there were some forced palace driving, this situation frightened Zhu Yijun, and he was a little overwhelmed in the face of these excited people.
Zhang Fan didn't pay much attention to this matter, although he also felt a little sorry for Ge Shouli, and understood that behind this matter, there must be Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't feel too unhappy about it, and he didn't think about seeking justice or anything.
Now, when he heard that such a group of ministers went to Zhu Yijun to ask for an explanation, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly set off to rush over.
When Zhang Fan got there, he found that the scene was already quite chaotic.
Those ministers were talking in front of Zhu Yijun one by one, and the theme was the same one, that is, they wanted to ask Zhu Yijun why he didn't let Ge Shouli take over the position of secretary of the ministry.
But obviously, this group of people is also too excited, the first few people are fine, the words asked are also tactful, and they are also obedient, one by one, but in the back, it is a little disorganized, anything can be asked, and the words that come out are very rude, and often the person in front has not finished speaking, and the person in the back has already stood up and started to speak.
The scene is gradually chaotic, and Zhu Yijun obviously doesn't know how to deal with this kind of scene, sitting in the seat is extremely awkward, and in the face of so many people with so many words that are becoming more and more excessive, Zhu Yijun, who didn't know how to answer, is even more evasive now.
However, this is the way it is, the more Zhu Yijun dodges, in the eyes of these people, it seems that he has really done something wrong, in short, the direction of the development of things, it is getting worse and worse.
And Feng Bao was on the side, he had been watching coldly, he hadn't said anything from the beginning to the present, and he hadn't stopped these people, but this didn't mean that he would just stand there like this, not saying anything, he was just waiting for the opportunity.
And now, what these ministers said was getting more and more excessive, and Feng Bao felt that it was time for him to speak.
"You horsemen, don't stop quickly," Feng Bao shouted, at this time his voice was very loud, and there was no such yin and yang weird eunuch flavor at all, and he seemed to be extremely upright, "This is the saint of today, and the second rank is the minister, but he is so ignorant and disrespectful, what should he be guilty of?"
To be honest, it is indeed wrong for this group of ministers to vent their anger on Zhu Yijun, the young emperor, and besides, they don't have disapproval and slight hatred for Feng Bao in their hearts, but now, they have indeed done something wrong, and Feng Bao stood up and said such a thing at this time, and they have no way to refute anything.
The current situation is that after Feng Bao said this, they all glared at Feng Bao angrily, but for a while, no one had the intention of saying anything, and this situation was really weird.
"Crowd...... Zhong Aiqing don't want to say any more," Zhu Yijun spoke at this time, although there was still a lot of panic on his face, but when he spoke at this time, he also looked firm, "Since I have decided on the candidate for the official book, and now that the edict has been issued, it is impossible to change it,"
"The ministers are here, not because they want Your Majesty to write the edict, and the ministers don't have the courage," someone among the ministers said, "What the ministers mean is that if they want to ask Your Majesty for an explanation, why don't you let Lord Ge take over the post of secretary of the ministry, and your Majesty won't see the joint performance of the ministers and others?"
"Fold, what twist," Zhu Yijun heard him say this, and immediately asked, of course he didn't know that there was such a thing, that fold had already been stopped by Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun was said to be looking at the content inside, he hadn't even seen the cover.
Now that this matter has been raised by these ministers, Zhu Yijun is naturally confused and doesn't know anything.
As soon as Zhu Yijun said this, the ministers below also understood in their hearts, and they didn't have to think much about it at all, almost everyone present knew what was going on with this matter, and suddenly, dozens of cold eyes saw Feng Bao's body in unison.
And Feng Bao was really calm, in the face of so many angry eyes at him, he was stunned and stood there with a calm expression, as if at this moment, he was on the side of justice.
"Feng Bao, you dare to deceive the Holy Lord, and detain the music without permission, you ...... You deserve to be punished for your crimes," there were already ministers below who began to speak, and the words were so fierce that they didn't leave any face for Feng Bao at all.
Since someone spoke first, then a new round of tongue warfare naturally started below, but this time the targets were all turned to Feng Bao.
Zhang Juzheng was not present today, so although the ministers present all knew in their hearts that Zhang Juzheng must be indispensable here, but no one accused Zhang Juzheng of anything, and therefore, now Feng Bao is alone to bear all the attacks.
But on the contrary, in the face of so many people's accusations against him, Feng Bao was just unmoved, as if these people were not talking to him at all, and he didn't hear anything, Feng Bao's calmness really made Zhang Fan feel amazing, either Feng Bao didn't take these people to heart at all, or Feng Bao had already thought of countermeasures, but no matter which one it was, his calmness really made Zhang Fan admire.
If it were anyone else, in the face of this kind of scene, he would definitely not be able to be as calm as Feng Bao.
"If you want to slander our family, you can't do it," Feng Bao said, although his voice was not small, but it was extremely stable, "How can our family do that kind of thing, besides, this piece has already been handed over to the Queen Mother, if you don't believe it, you can ask the Queen Mother for verification,"
