Chapter Seventy-Four: The Choice (2nd Watch)

The so-called licorice theory is the first dynasty's derogatory name for the first assistant Xu Jie, a generation of famous ministers Hai Rui has sharp eyes and straightforward words, and disdains Xu Jie's "Rong Yue and obedience", saying that he can only be regarded as a "licorice pavilion elder", and the meaning of disparagement is self-evident. For Chen Mo, who is proficient in history, this point is naturally very auspicious.

Because of this, Shen Li's short sentences shocked him extraordinarily - the reverse Feng drama, could it be that Shen Li kicked off the curtain?

In fact, no matter what history says about them, if they are really good people, they will definitely not be able to enter the cabinet, influence the situation of the court, and become the representatives of the heavenly officials.

In fact, since the development of the cabinet system to the present, every minister who can become the first assistant is not easy to match, including the "old licorice pavilion" in Hai Rui's mouth, of course, including the current first assistant Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, who succeeded him as the first assistant.

The reason why he did not endure in the face of Feng Bao's crazy attack, Chen Mo believed that it was not that they were weak and could be bullied, but that they were waiting for the best time to break out - the Chinese people have a habit of fighting each other, and they are accustomed to sympathizing with the weak, and now even Shen Li, who has always been not very good at dealing with Shen Shixing, can't sit still, which shows that the bitter plan of the two has been successful, and the balance of victory has begun to tilt towards them.

"On the eighth day of December in the tenth year of Wanli (the eighth day of the first month), Li Zhishang, the imperial historian of Jiangxi Province, impeached Feng Bao for the twelve major crimes, and the emperor was angry, and at the instigation of Zhang Whale, the holy decree was instigated: Feng Bao deceived the monarch and the country, and the crime was serious, and he should have been killed. Reading the system of examination and entrustment, serving for a long time, so from the lenient to the royal service, sent a new house in Nanjing to live. ”

Words like this are recorded in many works of Ming history, but there are only a few strokes, but no one mentions the specific process. Chen Mo has always suspected that Feng Bao has been in charge for a long time, why hasn't the twelve major crimes been mentioned for a long time? Zhang Juzheng has just passed away for less than half a year, even if Feng Bao has lost the biggest aid from the outer court, judging from the recent impeachment of cabinet ministers, Feng Bao still has great strength in the outer court.

Now that he has experienced it himself, he finally understands that some historical facts, for some reason, are hidden in the fog of history. Wanli may have seen Feng Bao unpleasantly a long time ago, and may have wanted to clean him up a long time ago, but for a character like him, if Feng Bao didn't do something too out of line, he wouldn't have used such thunderous means to deal with Feng Bao. Feng Bao had a different heart, but he didn't succeed, which was the fundamental reason for his destruction.

Thinking of Feng Bao's "important matters to discuss" that Zhang Dashou relayed, Chen Mo's heart that had just relaxed a little bit was pulled up again.

"Mr. is honest and public, and the students admire him!" Chen Mo bowed to Shen Li very sincerely, and when he saw the Feng Mansion in sight, he did not hide it, and said: "The student also feels that Feng Gonggong has acted too much, and he has made a word of advice, and if he has time today, he should go to the Feng Mansion ......again."

"You're going to find Feng Bao?" Shen Li was finally moved and interrupted Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded.

"Putting aside the matter of corruption and abuse of power, Feng Bao also has merits." Shen Li said suddenly, "When the Taishi was in power at the beginning, Feng Bao took the initiative to join forces to change the pattern of disharmony between the inner and outer courts of this dynasty and the internal and external courts, wasting national strength, so that the Taishi's decrees were unimpeded, and the new policy 'examination law' and 'one whip law' were successfully implemented." It can be said that Fang Jin's court is rich, and this person has contributed a lot. In addition, in the early attitude towards His Majesty, this person was generally knowledgeable, observant of duties, and quite literati...... If you can persuade him, change his course, and reconcile with the outer court, it will be tantamount to making a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that I am only afraid of ......"

"Sir, are you worried that the students will not persuade Gonggong Feng lightly, right?" Chen Mo calmly said Shen Li's unfinished words, held his head high, and said angrily: "Although the student is a eunuch and is ashamed of the outer court, the student also knows the truth that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. Zhongxing Daming is the long-cherished wish of Mr. and the long-cherished wish of students. "Say goodbye and go.

"What a 'rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible'!" Looking at Chen Mo's slightly thin back under the big red python robe, Shen Li's eyes flashed. Chen Mo didn't know that inadvertently stealing a famous sentence from later generations actually made Shen Guide, who was half a hundred years old, boil his blood.

Walking to the main gate of Fengfu, Chen Mo's eyes were sharp, and he found that a sedan chair was carried out from a distance, trembling and walking away, looking very familiar, it should be the sedan chair of Zhu Yihua, the king of Lu.

Is it really to see the poor dagger?

Chen Mo was secretly worried, stepped forward to call the door, and was soon greeted by the door who had a deep memory of him.

"The ancestor is waiting for you in the study, Yin Gong is here, please ...... It just snowed, this section of the road is a bit slippery, Yin Gong slowed down......"

Worried about the fortunes of the country, his diligent service did not make Chen Mo fluttering, but made him very irritable. Walking all the way, he didn't pay attention to the subordinate who led the way next to him, so that Feng Yu, who was wearing a cyan sticker, had a feeling of patting the horse's legs, and then he stopped talking, until he walked to the door of Feng Bao's study, and after entering the courtesy, he bowed down and said: "The ancestor has been waiting for you for a long time, please print the kilometer!" ”

This is not the first time Chen Mo has come to Feng Bao's study, the furnishings inside are still the same, the heat is blowing on his face, and his mood is no longer the original.

"Sit down!" Just like the first time, Feng Bao leaned back on Jin Sinan's high-backed chair. However, unlike the first time, Chen Mo did not sit at that time.

Chen Mo was not pleased, nor did he sit down, after saluting, he stood opposite Feng Bao, his eyes swept over the delicate ivory handcuff on the desk, and fell on Feng Bao's slightly tired face: "Old Ancestor, do you really want to instigate King Lu to do something earth-shattering?" ”

Things are urgent, and he is too lazy to go around in circles anymore.

Feng Bao didn't seem surprised, grabbed the ivory handcuff and fiddled with it in his hand, and nodded slightly: "Do you think our family has any other choice?" ”

"Unless Zhang Shen retires and Pan Sheng enters the cabinet, there is no possibility of a turnaround."

"You're not afraid ......"

"What's the use of being afraid?" Chen Mo was interrupted by Feng Bao before he finished speaking, and as he spoke, Feng Bao stood up from the chair, his eyes were like lightning, his face turned red, he waved the ivory handcuff in his hand, and said very quickly: "Do you think our family really wants this?" Zhu Yijun's wings are stiff, our family has become a nail in his eye, a thorn in the flesh, if we pull it out and then hurry up, could it be that our family is going to sit and wait to die? No, our family has struggled for so many years, how much hardship have we endured to get to where we are today? Even if he is the emperor, our family will never allow him to rob us of everything we have...... Our family can support him to become the emperor, and our family can also make him unable to be the emperor! ”

After saying this, it seemed that Feng Bao had exhausted all his strength, and he looked at Chen Mo directly, panting heavily.

It can make people progress, but it can also make people perish.

Chen Mo looked at Feng Bao silently, and suddenly felt a little pity.

Time seemed to stand still, for a long time, Feng Bao finally calmed down, and said solemnly: "You are a person that our family values very much, help our family, after the matter is completed, the position of the palm seal of the East Factory is yours." If not, our family has killed countless people, but we will not hesitate to do it! As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the ivory handcuff was facing Chen Mo's chest.
