The third episode of the corpse horror three
Qin Tai's words finally calmed down the situation that was about to break out, and the first to calm down was not Tan Lun, nor Zhang Juzheng, but Feng Bao, the eunuch of Dongchang.
However, everyone figured this out right away, and there was no surprise. First, Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng are all very proud people, rarely self-reflecting in front of outsiders, and will not take the initiative to apologize to their political enemies or opponents in person.
Second, it's because of everyone's identity and personality. Tan Lun has never really regarded Zhang Juzheng as his boss, and Tan Lun's personality is relatively irritable, of course he will not wake up immediately.
Zhang Juzheng was overly relaxed, and it was rare to have a good chance to vent, plus he had an opinion on Tan Lun's disrespectful attitude towards his boss, and finally because few people dared to oppose him in person after Zhang Juzheng became the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng didn't think of what was wrong with him.
In Zhang Juzheng's opinion, he must let Tan Lun bow his head and prove that he is the most correct. This is the most important thing that can best reflect your identity and status.
Third, Feng Bao started as the lowliest little eunuch, although he is now a eunuch of the celebrant and will definitely become a big man of the eunuch in the future, but he has never forgotten that he is just a minion.
Always pay attention to his identity, and be ready to bow to others or compromise at any time, of course, he thought of the meaning of Qin Tai's words for the first time.
As a eunuch, it is a big problem for him to get very close to Zhang Juzheng and others in private. Although Emperor Longqing knew about this matter, and Concubine Li Guifei even acquiesced, she couldn't go out publicly.
If only his opponent used one
If Feng Bao is charged with the crime of "eunuchs interfering in politics", Feng Bao has only one end, which is a dead end. Even if the opponent doesn't use this one, use it
If he is accused of the second-class crime of "eunuch personal relations minister", Feng Bao will also be dealt with. There is a clear text that if the eunuch has a personal relationship with the ministers of the court, he will be demoted and driven out of the palace after being crippled.
Feng Bao has not only seen this kind of thing with his own eyes, but also created this kind of thing with his own hands. Therefore, he can't give the emperor or his opponent a chance to deal with himself, let alone do anything arrogant.
So he immediately came to his senses, followed Qin Tai's meaning, and said Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng in turn. Although Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng couldn't turn around for a while, they were not fools, and they immediately thought of the importance in them.
Especially after seeing Feng Bao's face, they all thought of the problem. Although Emperor Longqing's ability to govern is not strong, almost everything depends on the cabinet, and the cabinet always decides things before letting Emperor Longqing give the final order, but it cannot openly give Emperor Longqing the decision.
As any adult emperor, no one will admit that he is a useless emperor, just as a man admits that he is incompetent.
If anyone dares to openly or semi-openly admit that the emperor is a puppet emperor, there will definitely be an extremely tragic consequence.
Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng are both promising people, and neither wants to be seen by Emperor Longqing as a rebel who disrespects the king.
If someone deliberately reported it to Emperor Longqing, they would be completely abandoned by Emperor Longqing, even if they would not fall immediately.
Although Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng both know each other's character and quality, I believe that the other party will not ask Emperor Longqing because of this matter
"Make a small report", but I dare not guarantee that the things here will not be known to outsiders. Will Feng Bao say it?
Even if you don't tell Emperor Longqing directly, will you tell Concubine Li? Will Concubine Li Guifei tell Emperor Longqing directly?
Even if Feng Bao didn't tell Emperor Longqing and Concubine Li Guifei, could he guarantee that Feng Bao didn't tell anyone? Take 10,000 steps back and say that Feng Bao will not say anything, and the matter here may also be leaked.
Although the people around Zhang Juzheng cleaned it up, they didn't dare to guarantee that it would be foolproof. The people around Tan Lun may also have problems, and even Feng Bao doesn't dare to guarantee that there are no secret agents around him.
This time it wasn't a secret conversation, so I didn't pay special attention to secrecy, and the three adults not only had guards but also some guards around them.
If there were Jinyiwei or Dongchang's secret agents inside, everyone's words would most likely reach the ears of Emperor Longqing or Meng Chong.
If Emperor Longqing knew about it, he would smile bitterly at most, and he would not deal with it substantively. But if Meng Chong knew about it, he would definitely report the matter to Emperor Longqing while uniting some people to make the matter bigger.
Just when Feng Bao, Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng began to worry about their words and deeds, Qin Tai had an idea that everyone couldn't think of.
Qin Tai knew that Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun were not stupid, and the three of them had a cooperative relationship more than once, and believed that Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun would cooperate with him.
So Qin Tai simply came to a big exposé, and said the names of a lot of people with his fingers, among which Tan Lun, Zhang Juzheng, and Feng Bao were of course on the list, and there were also Li Guifei and the prince, as well as Gao Gong, Li Chunfang and others.
This list includes almost the entire cabinet and most of the celebrants, as well as a dozen big figures who are no less than the level of feudal officials.
Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng frowned a little at first, but then immediately understood what Qin Tai meant, and reported a large number of ministers and old eunuchs who had retired according to Qin Tai's meaning.
Both Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng consciously or unconsciously avoided meritorious deeds and royalty, because pulling these people in not only is useless, but also counterproductive.
The purpose of what they said was to deter the eavesdropper, so that this person would not dare to talk nonsense, even if it was reported to Meng Chong, Meng Chong would not dare to talk about it.
Zhang Juzheng knows the details better than Qin Tai, if there are any secret agents here, it is either Feng Bao's subordinates or Meng Chong's people.
The secret agents around Emperor Longqing this year are not directly under the responsibility of Emperor Longqing, but are managed by the two eunuchs that Emperor Longqing believes in the most.
Feng Bao's subordinates would not and did not dare to report to Emperor Longqing beyond Feng Bao, as doing so would also harm their direct superior, Feng Bao.
Meng Chong's people not only did not care about Feng Bao, but also hoped that Feng Bao would step down as soon as possible. But Meng Chong is not a fool, and he would never think that such a thing could directly trip Feng Bao, Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng.
Behind Feng Bao is Li Guifei, Zhang Ju is the future cabinet assistant designated by Emperor Longqing, and Tan Lun is Gao Gong, the successor designated by the current cabinet leader, neither of which is easy to deal with.
No matter how stupid Meng Chong is, he will not offend so many people in one go, unless Emperor Longqing has such a meaning.
Emperor Longqing doesn't want to be too high now, he is optimistic about Zhang Juzheng, and he wants to stabilize Li Guifei, so he won't move Feng Bao, Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng.
Coupled with so many ministers of the court and the old ministers and eunuchs who have retired, Emperor Longqing will not deal with it rashly.
If Meng Chong really reported to Emperor Longqing, Emperor Longqing would not only not deal with these people, but would also use Zhang Juzheng and others even more.
Because so many people support Zhang Juzheng and others, it means that this court has almost been controlled by Zhang Juzheng and others, if Emperor Longqing doesn't want to
If you "die young", you can only cooperate with Zhang Juzheng and others. At that time, Emperor Longqing will definitely be more obedient to Zhang Juzheng, and at the same time, he will push Meng Chong out as a gift to Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao.
Therefore, Meng Chong not only did not dare to report to Emperor Longqing, but also kept it even more secret for Zhang Juzheng and others. Feng Bao's expression was the most exciting, first of all, he was pale, and then he began to turn blue after seeing Zhang Juzheng and the others with bad faces, Feng Bao began to be surprised when Qin Tai reported his name, and Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun also followed Feng Bao when he signed up.
In the end, after Feng Bao finally figured out the truth, he was immediately excited. He knew that if Meng Chong was frightened, the first person to benefit would be him, the first eunuch to be Feng Bao, the first eunuch of the celebrant eunuch.
So he actively reported the names of the big people he knew. When Feng Bao was about to report the name of a vassal king, Zhang Juzheng on the side glared at Feng Bao, and Feng Bao immediately knew that there could not be any male members of the royal family in the list.
When Feng Bao was about to say the name of a meritorious service, Tan Lun on the side couldn't help but kick Feng Bao, making Feng Bao understand that meritorious deeds could not be mentioned.
As a less confident emperor, Emperor Longqing was worried not only about his relatives and vassal kings, but also about his status and merits.
As long as there are no vassal kings and meritorious deeds in these lists, they will not be used by Meng Chong. If you want to scare Meng Chong, you must not have the names of these people in it, otherwise not only will you not be able to scare Meng Chong, but you will also be used by Meng Chong.
After reporting the names of so many people, Zhang Juzheng and others also lost their original excitement. Because everyone has to wait for Emperor Longqing's final decision, they can't make decisions for Qin Tai in advance.
Tan Lun looked unsatisfied, and made an appointment to wait for Emperor Longqing to make a decision, and then discuss together to make decisions for Qin Tai.
Tan Lun warned Zhang Juzheng not to make any plans for Qin Tai without authorization. Qin Tai and Zhang Juzheng both smiled bitterly, but the meaning was not the same.
Zhang Ju secretly laughed at Tan Lun for being too direct and obvious, even if Zhang Juzheng wanted to arrange it for Qin Tai, Tan Lun couldn't stop it so openly.
Qin Tai smiled bitterly because Zhang Juzheng was already one
"Dad", now there is one more person with a worse temper
"Mother", Qin Tai has no power to decide the future by himself. However, having such a heart-to-heart friend can be regarded as Qin Tai's great blessing, and it is not one but two at once.
