Although Wanli knew that Feng Bao had so much property on the second day of the first lunar month, he felt deeply deceived and issued an order to demote him to Fengyang to guard the tomb, but because it was still in the New Year's Festival, it was not until half a month later, after the Lantern Festival, that the imperial court officially sent him to Fengyang.

On the day of the trip, as the existence of Zhang Juzheng, who was second only to the first assistant Zhang Juzheng above the court, as a famous eunuch in Beijing, Feng Bao naturally attracted the attention of hundreds of people and officials.

Feng Bao was loaded into a prisoner car and taken on the road. At this moment, his expression was pale, his originally handsome face had already looked dozens of years old, and when he saw the indifferent or excited crowd around him, his expression was still cold, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

In fact, as early as when he was robbed of all his positions by the emperor and knew that he could no longer turn over, Feng Bao had already shown this state of losing his soul. Obviously, with the end of his political life, Feng Bao's real life has also ended, leaving only a soulless shell.

But ordinary people don't care about these, when they see this high-rise, unattainable, and never even seen in the past, everyone is very excited, some shouting and scolding, some shouting loudly, and even smashing the rotten vegetable gang, rotten eggs and other things in their hands, scolding this insatiable dead eunuch for not dying well.

Of course, there are also sufferers who have really been bullied by the Feng family, and when they saw their own enemies, the traitors who didn't dare to think that they would be able to take revenge one day, ended up like this, these people cried loudly in public, and told the people around them about their miserable experiences. And when they heard these angry things, the people angrily scolded and smashed Feng Bao's mood even higher, and even stones, bricks and other objects were thrown over from time to time, until the officers and soldiers around the prisoner car also dodged one after another, and at the same time kept shouting at the people not to continue to be so presumptuous......

In this chaos, some officials looked at Feng Bao's miserable situation with complicated expressions, but they couldn't help but feel some sadness in their hearts.

Although after Feng Bao was quickly removed from office by the emperor, many officials impeached Feng Bao, but it was just an instinctive reaction as an official of the imperial court, not that they really had any prejudices against Feng Bao in their hearts. On the contrary, they still have a good impression of this Feng Gonggong.

Compared with many of his previous traitors, Feng Bao treated ordinary officials much better, and got along with them more as a colleague, never persecuting courtiers like Liu Jin, Wang Zhen and other predecessors, and did many things that endangered the stability of the imperial court. On the contrary, he not only has good knowledge, but also cooperates closely with Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, to make the political situation of the imperial court relatively stable, which is not a small credit.

So when they saw that such a eunuch who was actually meritorious to the court also ended up like this, the officials also had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they didn't know how to express it. can only say one thing, no matter what the heart is, a slave is a slave, if you want to use the identity of a eunuch and eunuch to get involved in the major affairs of the court and politics, the end will inevitably be extremely miserable.

It is precisely because everyone's perception of Feng Bao is not too bad that the end result for him is obviously much better than that of Liu Jin and other predecessors, as well as Wei Zhongxian and other descendants-at least the family is broken but not dead-The final result is also acceptable. There were even officials who secretly greeted the officials who escorted him to Fengyang, so that they didn't have to embarrass Feng Bao along the way.

Among the many people who came to see the excitement or to see Feng Bao off for the last time, Yang Zhen and Yang Chen brothers were the two most special. They mingled in the crowd, looking at Feng Bao's embarrassed prisoner car, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Erlang, I can't imagine that what you said at the beginning has really become a reality. You really drove him, Zhang Juzheng's most powerful ally, out of the capital. Yang Chen still had some hard time believing that all this had come true.

Yang Zhen's mood was not too calm, even if things had passed, he still had some ups and downs: "To be honest, even I am still in a bit of a trance, and I feel that this matter is too simple." But when you think about it, it's a logical thing. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? To tell the truth, if you can bring down Feng Baodou, who is far more powerful than you, you will definitely become the talk of officialdom and the people in a short period of time, but I am afraid that your Yang Erlang's name will be known to the world. ”

"Big brother, do you really think that I fought him down with my ability? Or do you think I'm the biggest beneficiary in this case? Yang Zhen looked at his brother with blazing eyes.

Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something, and his eyes also revealed a strange look.

When Yang Zhen saw his brother's expression, he knew that he also thought of something, so he smiled and said, "Although I am pushing all this, if it is not for the emperor's approval, I will not be able to fight against Gonggong Feng, who holds Dongchang and the celebrant in his hands." In fact, to put it bluntly, it was Feng Bao who did something wrong and caused the emperor's resentment, and he wanted to drive this eye-catching guy out of his side, so that it would be as I wished. It can even be said that it was Feng Bao's own fault, coupled with the emperor's holy will, that led to this final result. As for me, it's just a boost. As long as Feng Bao remained in this position, as long as there was no fundamental change in his attitude towards the Son of Heaven, his defeat was only a matter of time. ”

When Yang Chen heard this, he first looked at his brother in a daze, and finally nodded: "I can't imagine that Erlang, you still have such a vision, and you can see things more thoroughly than me, a person who knows the direction of history." By the way, you say that you are not the biggest profiteer, so who will be the biggest profiteer? ”

"Of course, it's Your Majesty Emperor Wanli." Yang Zhen had some complicated emotions in his eyes: "This time, he cleared Feng Bao from the palace in one fell swoop, and there will be no more people around him who are in the way, and he will be able to do things much more calmly." And after this incident, the courtiers' attitude towards him, the Son of Heaven, will inevitably change. Especially after losing a powerful ally, Zhang Juzheng's power will inevitably be weakened. And those officials who want to compete with him will naturally think of using the imperial power to fight with him openly and secretly, which will help His Majesty to consolidate his power.

"And then there are those eunuchs in the palace. In the past, because of Feng Bao's existence, they had to be careful in what they did, and they didn't dare to beg the emperor too much. But now, the situation is different, and their people are close at hand. While this may not be a good thing, it is clear that as the imperial power increases, their status will also be improved accordingly.

"As for me, apart from a little false name, I have only received some attention and appreciation from His Majesty. As for the benefits in the practical sense, they are minimal. So I can even say that I am the least profitable person in this matter. Of course, in the long run, I may have gained the most from it. At least with Feng Bao's departure, Zhang Juzheng's strength has been greatly weakened, and I have the possibility of fighting him! In the end, the smile on Yang Zhen's face disappeared, leaving only a chilling killing intent.

Yang Zhen listed a number of people who benefited from Feng Bao's downfall, but clearly omitted one of them.

When the time came to the beginning of February, when Feng Bao's prisoner car had left the northern border, in a small and dilapidated inn, several men wearing cloaks suddenly appeared in front of them.

After feeding the guards with silver, one of them, a beardless man with a thin body and a somewhat pale face, appeared in front of Feng Bao's eyes.

When he saw this person suddenly appear, Gonggong Feng's gaze, who had been like a walking corpse all the way, suddenly flickered.

"Shuanglin Gong, don't come unharmed?" After carefully looking at Feng Bao for a long time, the visitor sighed for a while: "I can't imagine that you and I will be in such a situation when we see each other again in a few years." Originally, I was still thinking about how to return to the palace, how to continue to fight with you, how to fight you down, fight you to death, and get back everything you owe me......" When he said these words, his eyes were full of resentment.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that your Shuanglin Gong actually has today, and this fate is much worse than what I did at the beginning. I heard that the men in your family have been confiscated to the border guards, and the women have all been sent to the Teaching Workshop Division, tsk, I really want to see their current situation. To be honest, fortunately, you and I are both eunuchs, and we don't have wives and daughters, otherwise this taste would be even more uncomfortable, right? ”

In the face of the other party's cynicism, Feng Bao still sat there blankly, not even moving his eyes, as if he was completely unconscious.

The man then gushed a lot of his thoughts to Feng Bao, but he didn't get any feedback, which made him finally lose interest in speaking: "It seems that you have indeed suffered a lot of blows this time, and you are very unconvinced to lose to such a small Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, right?" But you can't have a chance to turn over again, so let me, an old friend, help you get revenge. By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, after Your Majesty sent you to Fengyang, he has issued an order to transfer me back to the capital and transfer me back to him. So you just wait in Fengyang and see how I do it! After these words, and a triumphant laugh, the man finally shook his hand and left.

It wasn't until half a day after he left that Feng Bao's eyes flickered slightly, and then his lips moved, and he said in a voice so weak that only he could hear: "Zhang Whale, don't be complacent, I believe it won't be long before you will end up with me...... No, you'll only end up worse than me! ”
