Chapter 14 Conspiracy to Countermeasure
"We do know," Zhao Pengcheng poured himself a drink, suddenly sighed, and said: "I shouldn't have told you, but after so many years, we have watched you grow up, and we know that don't look at your kid who doesn't talk much on weekdays, in fact, it's 'blind people eat dumplings, and they know it in their hearts'...... All of us were castrated privately and recruited into the palace by our masters. You also know that this dynasty is actually very strict in this regard, and there are only a handful of people with this kind of energy, and the old husbands and women who are the celebrants and supervisors can't be Gao Zhong, nor Zhang Hong, Zhang Whale, Zhang Cheng, isn't the answer about to come out? ”
"You mean ......?" Although Chen Mo also guessed so, he was still taken aback when it was really confirmed by Zhao Pengcheng's mouth.
Chen Mo didn't say Feng Bao's name, but Zhao Pengcheng still nodded, tacitly.
Feng Bao is the eunuch who is the master of ceremonies, and also supervises the East Factory, Liu Ruoyu's "Zhi Zhongzhi Neifu Yamen Zhi Zhang" clearly recorded: "The most favored person, with a pen in charge of the East Factory, the palm print Yizun, depending on the Yuan Fu; The weight of the palm factory is regarded as the general constitution (the secretary of the ministry) and the second assistant. Secondly, the pen is followed by the hall, such as the auxiliary of the public. "The palm print here refers to the eunuch who holds the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and the pen is in charge of the East Factory, which refers to the Admiral of the East Factory. From this, it can be seen that Feng Bao's power is prosperous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one person is above ten thousand people.
It's just that no matter how powerful it is, what can it be? Now it is the end of October in the tenth winter of Wanli, if there is no mistake in the historical record, it will not take two months, this hot "Feng Daban" will be demoted to Fengyu by the Wanli Emperor, and sent to Nanjing Ming Xiaoling to plant vegetables for the elderly.
Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh: His life is really bitter!
"Sigh what? Are you unhappy? ”
"What's the fun?" Chen Mo glanced at Zhao Pengcheng, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to him, while he tore off a piece of chicken breast and munched on it.
Zhao Pengcheng took the chicken leg, but he was not in a hurry to eat it, but looked at Chen Mo intently, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother, we know that the vision is not as good as yours, you tell us the truth, is Gonggong Feng about to fall out of favor?" ”
"Who did you listen to?" Chen Mo didn't raise his eyelids, chewed the chicken breast in his mouth, and asked vaguely.
"I haven't heard anyone say it, but Gao Zhong is the master who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, although he didn't have a particularly close relationship with Gonggong Feng before, he can get by, and it is inevitable that he will exchange courtesies on weekdays, and he has never refuted Gonggong Feng's face like last time. Also, we also know that my father-in-law asked you to go to Zhang Dashou to deliver a fan, and they are both anxious to draw a line with Gonggong Feng's side, which should be very revealing. Besides, if things don't endanger to a certain extent, Gonggong Feng's side won't officially use us people, right? We don't read much, but we're not stupid......"
You're not stupid, you're pretty shrewd!
Chen Mo glanced at Zhao Pengcheng strangely, and already understood that this person was not as simple as finding out his identity today, so he simply got straight to the point: "What the third brother said makes sense, tell me what you think, let's sum it up." ”
Zhao Pengcheng got up again and opened the door to look outside, and only after making sure that no one was eavesdropping did he retreat, and asked Chen Mo in a low voice: "Let the two of us cooperate to steal Gao Zhong's prison seal again, this time is different from your last time, you want us to send the prison seal out...... Who is Gao Zhong? The palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor, the commander of the warrior battalion of the four guard battalions, the seal can mobilize the army, what do you want his seal to do? ”
His voice was shrill with a little trembling, and at the same time as he stopped, the strange wind was whistling outside, the window was blown open with a bang, the cold wind swept in, the candles were blown wildly, and the kitchen suddenly darkened, Chen Mo's body tightened, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"You mean ......?" He didn't dare to say those two words, as if it was an unforgivable sin just to say them.
Zhao Pengcheng nodded: "What do you think Gonggong Feng has a chance of winning?" Let's not mention that if it can't be done, it will be a catastrophe for the Nine Clans, even if it really happens, how sure are we that we won't be wiped out? ”
Chen Mo was completely silent, but his heart was overturned. Only then did he know that when faced with power, people could be so bold and do anything. He also knew that history was indeed a hypocritical story, and Feng Bao, who was sympathized with by many people in later generations, even had the idea of rebellion.
The result was naturally a failure, perhaps, Feng Bao didn't have time to act at all, otherwise, his ending would not be Ming Xiaoling's cultivation.
"What do you want to do?" While asking this sentence, Chen Mo was also thinking, is there any need to stay on a boat that he knows is about to capsize? Or, find a way to change?
"Say, what if we take the initiative to confess to our father-in-law? With a counterattack, can you redeem the credit? When Zhao Pengcheng said this, his eyes were glowing, and he looked at Chen Mo with great eagerness.
But Chen Mo knew that Zhao Pengcheng was thinking too well. Inheriting the memory of the ontology, combined with the knowledge learned in later generations, he has already had a deep understanding of the collective character of the eunuch group. Physical defects make them selfish, greedy, eager for power, and hate betrayal, even if Chen Ju is known as "Buddha" in later generations, but when he killed Gao Lei, he was not soft-hearted at all.
They are the most cruel moths of rights, and for the sake of rights, they do not have the least respect for life in their hearts.
When they succeed, other people's lives are like grass mustard in their eyes, and when they can't succeed, their lives are like grass mustard in the eyes of those who are superior.
Chen Mo didn't even know that when he was at ease to blame Gao Lei for the crime of stealing the prison seal, how much of it was out of his own intention, and how much was due to the inertia brought about by his ontological memory - Zhao Haochen in later generations may have many, many shortcomings, but his heart is kind, but now he recalls it, but it is a little like a lifetime.
"Why don't you speak?"
Zhao Pengcheng's voice interrupted Chen Mo's thoughts, made him return to reality all of a sudden, shook his head, and said slowly: "The third brother is too simple, as the third brother said, even if the father-in-law doesn't kill us now, we will not be able to escape the fate of our heads in the future." ”
"What then? Can we only follow Gonggong Feng to make ......" The word "anti" Zhao Pengcheng did not say it, and swallowed it back alive, Rao is so, his face still turned pale.
Chen Mo shook his head again: "It's not the Tang Dynasty now, the eunuchs can influence the abolition of the emperor, even if Gonggong Feng really becomes, the people in the outer court can't spare him......"
"This can't be done, that's not possible, you can't just close your eyes and wait for death, right?"
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, the light flashed, and he said coldly: "For today's plan, there is only one word, drag!" ”
"Can't you drag it out?"
"Then we can only look at creation!" Chen Mo said coldly, his heart moved, and he vaguely felt that he had overlooked something particularly important, but he couldn't remember it anyway.
