Chapter 528: The End of the Road: Feng Shuanglin (Middle)
When he followed Sun Hai to the warm pavilion where Wanli was located, and saw the gloomy fat face of the little emperor, Feng Bao's heart sank deeper, and he quickly knelt down in a proper manner, kowtowed to it, and said: "Slave Feng Bao to see Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty has to say when you are so anxious to find a slave and maid?" ā
After staring at Feng Bao gloomily for a long time, Wanli said in the same gloomy tone: "Feng Bao, are you guilty?" ā
Hearing this title, Feng Bao's heart chuckled even more, knowing that things were really bad to the extreme. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause on weekdays, even if the emperor doesn't treat him well, he only calls himself Feng Daban or Daban, and he has never called himself by name and surname so bluntly. This realization made him more vigilant, and he quickly lay on the ground more honestly, kowtowed vigorously and said: "The slave must have been angry with Your Majesty for not doing her errand well in some way, and please punish Your Majesty." ā
This seems to be a confession, but in fact, it is a disguised statement that he doesn't know where he is wrong. Sun Hai, who heard the meaning of his words, had to admire it in his heart, even at such times, Feng Bao still gave words, bold and careful, and it was difficult for him to experience this for a few years.
However, his careful thinking was not realized by the angry little emperor at all, only to see him snort coldly: "At this time, you still refuse to admit your guilt, your Feng Bao's courage is really not small." Or have you done too many wrong things behind my back in the past, so you don't know what I'm referring to now? ā
"Slaves don't dare to ......" Feng Bao's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly. He has behaved so withdrawn and honest, but the emperor's anger has not been eliminated at all, but he regards his own concession as a sin, and this matter is really serious.
Wanli, who was already extremely angry, didn't want to be in this circle with Feng Bao anymore, so he immediately picked up the few pieces of paper on the case and threw them in front of Feng Bao, while saying, "Then I will let you know what is wrong with you!" You've taken a closer look at me! ā
A few crumpled pieces of paper with words fluttered in the air for a few moments before slowly falling to the ground. It's just that the pieces of paper are too light to withstand it at all, although Wanli used a lot of strength in anger, but they still only fell lightly close, and there was still a short distance from the position where Feng Bao was kneeling.
At this time, there were naturally many other chamberlains in the Warm Pavilion, but under Sun Hai's slightly threatening gaze, and seeing that the emperor was really angry this time, none of these people dared to step forward to help Feng Bao get these papers. So, after being stunned for a while, Feng Bao could only walk a few steps to the papers, and knelt on the ground in embarrassment and looked at the words on them.
Such humiliating actions have greatly damaged Feng Bao's sensitive heart, who has never wanted to remind him that he is just a slave and a eunuch. And when he saw what was written on the paper, his whole person was even more stunned on the spot, and even the grievances and humiliations he had just given birth to were gone, replaced by strong fear.
Although the charges of corruption and bribery written on these pieces of paper are just ordinary crimes, if they are placed in ordinary times, he Feng Gonggong will not take it to heart at all, even if he sends more evidence of crimes in this regard to the emperor, he will not be able to move him at all.
But at this juncture, these few pieces of evidence are really fatal. He had just put on a posture for the country and the people to stop the emperor's decision to ask the treasury for silver, and now he suddenly exposed such a crime, which would make the emperor's disgust with himself multiply, and even ......
Thinking of this, Feng Bao, who was still kneeling on the ground, only felt a chill on his back, and cold sweat was already trickling down, and he quickly wet the clothes inside. At the same time, his body was also weak for a while, from kneeling to prostrate, and his whole body was shaking like chaff on the ground, and it was difficult to even say what he could say.
He didn't speak, but Wanli had something to say: "Feng Bao, it was you who played right and wrong before, and asked the Queen Mother to come forward to stop me from asking the treasury for silver, right?" At that time, although I hated you for many things, I also felt that you were a slave who was loyal to the country, and I never thought about what would happen to you because of this. But now this evidence proves that I was wrong, and I have completely and completely mistaken you! It turns out that you, Feng Bao, have never thought of being loyal to the country at all, all you think about is your own interests, and you are still using the banner of me to make benefits for yourself!
"Obviously, you are a person who serves the country and the people, and you do not hesitate to speak out for this, and you do not hesitate to make me lose face for this. But behind the scenes, you are greedy and insatiable, maybe you have done many things that violated my Ming law behind your back! Your behavior like this is a real crime of deceiving the king, and it is not too much to destroy your nine clans! When he said the last few words, the little emperor's eyes already revealed a trace of killing intent!
Wanli was indeed angry by Feng Bao's face-to-face and behind-the-scenes approach. It was only at this time that he knew that Feng Daban, whom he had always been worried about, was actually such a person, and a feeling of being deceived and betrayed hit his heart, which was more angry than usual. At this moment, Feng Bao is no longer a small companion in his eyes and takes care of his big companion, but a big liar who deceives his feelings, a person with ulterior motives who uses his trust in him to wantonly accumulate wealth and power!
Hearing Wanli's rebuke with strong hatred and even murderous intent, Feng Bao was stunned. Although he knew that this time he would greatly anger the Son of Heaven, he didn't expect the emperor to be so angry, which made him not even feel afraid, but his mind was blank, and he only kept kowtowing: "The slave and maid are guilty, the slave and the maid will never dare again, please spare your ......."
Feng Bao, who couldn't even organize his defense, only had one action left to kowtow hard, and under the continuous contact between his brain and the hard and smooth floor tiles, the skin was quickly broken, and the blood immediately seeped out. But even so, Feng Bao had no intention of stopping, and kept kowtowing and kowtowing, so that the entire floor tile in front of him was stained with blood.
Seeing him like this, Wanli's anger disappeared a little. If Feng Bao made another argument at this time and made excuses for his crimes, it would definitely make the emperor's anger even higher, and it was not impossible to even call someone to kill him in the court. But now, seeing him looking so pitiful, the emperor didn't make a decision, and he didn't know whether to send him to Yousi to deal with it, or to think of another way to punish him.
The emperor's hesitation fell in Sun Hai's eyes, but it made his heart tighten. This time, in order to deal with Feng Bao, he gave up, and he completely tore his face with Feng Bao. If you can't put it to death this time, and wait for the other party to recover from it, then you will be the one who dies.
The emperor must not be allowed to soften his heart and give birth to the idea of sparing Feng Bao!
After making up his mind, Sun Hai turned his heart sideways and said boldly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid still has something to report." ā
"Say." Wanli needed someone to talk to him at this time, to divert his attention and adjust his mind, so he nodded without thinking.
And Feng Bao, who was still kowtowing, slowed down. After the first few kowtows and pain, he gradually calmed down. also understood his own situation, and knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless, it was better to retreat and advance, pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, so that the emperor could be soft-hearted. Moreover, even if the emperor does not relent, he will definitely hesitate, so that he can delay some work, so that the queen mother or Zhang Juzheng can have time to come over and say good things for himself. If the emperor really convicts himself of his own guilt when he comes up with his mind, I'm afraid that it will be too late for them to come.
Unexpectedly, although Feng Bao's wishful thinking played well and saw the effect, at least Wanli was a little hesitant, but he suddenly made a trip to bite the gold. Seeing Sun Hai standing up and speaking, Feng Bao's heart sank, and he knew that it was going to be bad. But he had already shown a look of confession and repentance just now, and naturally there was no way to stop Sun Hai from speaking at this time.
"Your Majesty, just now, when the slave maid went to Xuanfeng's father-in-law to see him here, he found that he was distributing silver to the eunuchs who had offices in the palace. This matter is not a trivial matter, and the slave maid does not dare to hide it from His Majesty. Sun Hai immediately told him what had just happened.
As soon as these words came out, Wanli's face, who was still hesitant, became more and more gloomy: "Feng Bao, what are you doing here?" Is it to buy the desires of the people in the palace to my detriment? ā
"Slave maid...... Don't dare to ......" Feng Bao couldn't stop speaking at this time, he wanted to cry out, but in the end he could only say that he didn't dare: "The slave just wants to do something for His Majesty......"
"Oh?" Wanli laughed angrily: "Are you really so easy to coax? I also want to tell me that you think that my previous considerations were right, so you want to share my worries, so you paid for yourself to reward everyone in the palace? Well? ā
"Slave maid......" Feng Bao was speechless for a while, not knowing how to tell the difference. As long as anyone understands this matter, he knows that he is buying people's hearts, let alone Wanli, this time, he finally knows that he has completely lost hope.
"Your father-in-law Feng really has a heart, on the one hand, he prevents me from rewarding everyone in the palace, and on the other hand, he pays for them himself, to talk about it, there is really no slave like you in the world who is loyal to the country and diligent in the king's affairs!" Wanli's cold voice floated in the warm pavilion, but it made Feng Bao's face pale and his body trembled again.
"It's over...... This time it's really completely over......" Feng Bao closed his eyes, regretting the decision he had made before, how could he come up with such a bad idea like a ghost.
At this time, a protracted announcement suddenly came from outside the door: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ā
