The twelfth month of the tenth year of Wanli (the ninth day of the first month).

The inner court, which had been lively for several days, finally calmed down because of Zhu Yijun's holy decree: Feng Bao bullied the monarch and the country, and the crime was so great that 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 Lantau Zhaoling to guard the mausoleum. Brother and nephew Feng You and Feng Bangning were dismissed, and their origins were the people. Zhang Dashou and others, who were reduced to small fires, sent Nanjing Xiaoling Division incense.

The decree did not specify what crimes Feng Bao had committed, which made some foreign ministers very dissatisfied. Shandong Provincial Imperial History Jiangdong was the first to go to the sparse, impeached Xu Jue, and exposed that Liang Menglong, the new secretary of the ministry, bribed him with 30,000 taels of silver before he could take over the post of secretary of the ministry, and after he arrived, he married his granddaughter Xu Feng You as his daughter-in-law. Yushi Zhao Kai and others echoed.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhi, the imperial historian of Jiangxi Province, also went up and impeached Feng Bao for twelve crimes.

Later, the Zhejiang Provincial Supervision Imperial History Kingdom also went up and down, strongly saying that Feng Bao was extremely evil, and hoped that Zhu Yijun would follow the precedent of Emperor Wuzong's execution of Liu Jin, punish Feng Bao as the law, and reprimand Zeng Shengwu (then the Ministry of Works, Prince Taibao, Zhang Juzheng's cronies), Wang Zhan (then the Ministry of Officials Zuo Shilang, Zhang Juzheng's cronies), and Qing foreign traitors.

Even Zhang Cheng, Sun Xiu and others in the inner court didn't know why Zhu Yijun suddenly changed his mind, and actually let Feng Bao go, only Zhang Whale, through Chen Mo's late night invasion of the palace and being scepted by the court, vaguely guessed some of Zhu Yijun's psychology. However, he is a selfish person, so naturally he will not share this information with Sun Xiu and Zhang Cheng, and even trick the two to find Zhu Yijun.

The two really went, but Zhu Yijun reprimanded him and blasted out. Including the excerpts of the impeachment of the imperial historians, they were also left unpublished, which can be regarded as a thorough expression of their attitude towards this matter.

A generation of eunuchs finally stepped down the stage of history, Zhang Hong took over the post of the master of ceremonies and the seal of the seal, Chen Ju was in charge of the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Whale was the governor of the East Factory, and the rest of Zhang Cheng Liu Shouyou and others, or promoted, or added to the knighthood, that Sun Xiu, and also got his wish to become the position of the palm seal of the Salary Division.

The news reached Chen Mo's ears, and while he was surprised, he finally felt a hint of relief - he had always thought that his crossing had failed, but now it seemed that something had changed in the end. According to historical records, Feng Bao's fall was caused by Jiang Dongzhi's bullet seal, but now the order has been reversed, so that the wave of criticism of Feng that should have appeared did not come as scheduled. Even Feng Bao, who was supposed to "send a new house in Nanjing to live idle", has now changed the ending and has become "Zhaoling Guarding the Mausoleum on Lantau Island".

This is the most successful reversal, and no one can say what kind of changes will occur in the future. Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, as long as people don't die, how do you know that there is no chance of a comeback?

"Didn't Lord Banzai say how to deal with the ministers?" Chen Mo is still lying on that long bench, after a night of recuperation, the external injuries on his buttocks and legs have dried up, as for whether there will be any disability left inside, because he can't move at all, it is still unclear.

Zheng Shufei sat on the chair next to Chen Mo, brushed the messy hair hanging down from her cheeks, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty even let Feng Bao go, so naturally he won't kill you." However, he still has some resentment against you, and I heard the Queen Mother say that he is going to belittle you as a small fireman, and together with Feng Bao, he will send you to Tianshou Mountain Zhaoling to guard the mausoleum. ”

Okay, don't you ask for peace of mind, I won't kill you, I let you serve your master to go to the general line, right?

Chen Mo pondered Zhu Yijun's psychology, his heart couldn't help sinking, and he sighed and said: "Long live the lord is preparing to have no contact with the ministers, let's say goodbye, the ministers are afraid that they will never have the opportunity to see the mother again!" ”

Hearing Chen Mo say this, Zheng Shufei couldn't help but feel a little sad, forced herself to hold on, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so pessimistic, with us, after some time, when Your Majesty slowly fades down on this matter, we will intercede for you." ”

"Well," Chen Mo nodded, and instead of thanking him, he asked, "By the way, Niangniang, according to the minister's understanding of the Long Live Lord, it shouldn't be so easy to change his mind, right?" Didn't you ask who interceded for us? Could it be the Queen Mother? ”

"Naturally, I asked," Zheng Shufei had already learned about the matter between Chen Mo and Siqi from the Empress Dowager Li, and she didn't want to mention this stubble, but since Chen Mo asked, she didn't want to hide it from him: "The Empress Dowager said that the reason why Your Majesty let you go is because Siqi intercedes and is willing to marry Zhang Whale, in exchange for Your Majesty to spare your life......"

"What?" Chen Mo almost fell off the stool, supporting his upper body, living like a prawn, for a long time, he suddenly softened, and sighed dejectedly: "That's it, anyway, we can't give her happiness, that Zhang Whale is now the father of the Dongchang factory, and the palm seal master of ceremonies in the future is unknown, with him, we can be relied on in this life, and we can rest assured." ”

This time it was Zheng Shufei's turn to be surprised, according to her understanding of Chen Mo, she thought that after hearing the news, he would vomit blood like thunder, who knew that it was such a salty and indifferent sentence, and couldn't help but hug Siqi: "You're not angry?" Siqi paid such a big price for you, and you weren't moved at all? ”

"Of course you are moved, but what's the use of moving?" Chen Mo was very helpless, the lump in his crotch made him face such a problem, and he had no confidence at all.

"What's the use? Could it be that you never thought about making a comeback and snatching her back from Zhang Whale's hands? Or is it really like Your Majesty's thoughts, once Siqi marries Zhang Whale, you will never look down on her again? ”

"Niangniang doesn't know, Siqi and the ministers will not be happy together, it will only harm her." Chen Mo saw that Zheng Shufei looked a little resentful of the same enemy, and hurriedly explained, but unfortunately he couldn't explain it.

"How do you know that she won't be happy with you? Just because you're a little flame now? Let's tell you Chen Shaoyan, never underestimate a woman's determination to share weal and woe with you. I really love you, don't say that you are a little fire, even if you become a flower who asks for food, she will love you as well. ”

Zheng Shufei is a person who dares to love and hate, and when she said this, she had already stood up angrily, pointed at Chen Mo's nose and counted fiercely: "You are less self-righteous, do you really think that if you follow Zhang Whale, she will be happy?" Wrong, believe us, if she knows that you have such thoughts, she will definitely hate you for the rest of her life. Promise us, cheer up, not for others, just for Siqi, you must cheer up, he will make a comeback day by day and snatch her back from Zhang Whale's hands. ”

"We all understand what Niangniang said, but ......" Chen Mo smiled bitterly: "We are really in trouble, please Niangniang tell Siqi, this inner court is deceitful, the ministers are really disheartened, and they don't want to come back, let her forget about us, we have never appeared!" ”

"Smack-" Zheng Shufei slapped Chen Mo hard: "Coward, I'm worried about you for the past two days, let's look away!" After that, he turned around and left, never wanting to look at Chen Mo again.

Chen Mo was not angry, but sighed deeply while touching his hot cheeks, closed his eyes, and after a long time, a hot tear slowly seeped out of the corner of his eye......

PS: Don't worry, it's not over yet. Imagine if the protagonist was able to overcome the mental barrier soon, it would feel unreal, right? Also, the characters in the book are not only the protagonists, but other people must always have a chance to perform, what do you say?
