Chapter 12: The Horror of the Corpse Twelve
The senior brother pulled the little eunuch in front of Feng Bao and asked the little eunuch to repeat it. The little eunuch looked at Feng Bao with a blank face and stammered. Feng Bao looked at the two godsons, and for a while even he forgot that he was double-protected. The senior brother reminded: "Shuangbao is your old man." That person seemed to be Lord Qin Taiqin. Feng Bao immediately thought of the point of the matter. caught the little eunuch who was still in a daze, and there were two slaps in his hand. The little eunuch finally woke up, cried and knelt on the ground and said Qin Tai's words again.
Feng Bao asked the little eunuch to kneel here and wait for him to come back while changing his clothes. If something big happened, Feng Bao promised to pick the skin of the little eunuch with his own hands. The senior brother also glanced at the little eunuch sympathetically, it seems that this junior brother really wants to teach a lesson. If he hadn't inquired about some things in Dongchang, he would never have known about this big event. The matter that delayed Qin Tai was small, making Zhang Juzheng and others think that if Feng Bao did not attach importance to Qin Tai, it would affect the relationship between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. This will ruin Feng Bao's future, and it will also affect Li Guifei and the crown prince, Feng Bao will definitely kill this little eunuch.
After Feng Bao changed into the clothes he usually wore outside the palace, he asked someone to carry him out of the palace and rush to the agreed place immediately. While the senior brother stayed behind to supervise the little eunuch, he kept an eye on the situation in the palace. Once there is an important person or something, immediately send someone to inform Feng Bao outside the palace. Senior brother also knew that this matter was Feng Bao's test of himself, and if he did well, he would be sent to an important position. Eunuchs like him abound in the palace, and it will take at least ten or twenty years to become a boss and a eunuch. If it is released, it will either guard the eunuchs or the prison army, and it will not only be majestic but also make a fortune. When he earns enough money and has enough qualifications, he will come back to be a governor and eunuch for a few years, and he can officially become a eunuch with a pen. As long as Feng remains in the palace and continues to be in power, he will have a bright future.
When Feng Bao arrived at the contact point, it was already nearly an hour after lunch. Feng Bao was worried that Qin Tai had already left, but he didn't expect Qin Tai to still wait in the contact point. Feng Bao just breathed a sigh of relief, but he was choked by Qin Tai's words. What the? Meng Chong, the old guy, not only made a move, but also put his hand inside the Jinyi Guard he had just left. Jinyiwei, a group of wolf cubs who are not well fed, Lao Tzu has just left for less than half a year, and you have returned to the arms of Meng Chong, the old dog. Are you so eyeless? I don't know Lao Tzu, I'm about to take over as the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the seal? It seems that if you don't beat your words well, I have forgotten who I Feng Bao is.
Qin Tai analyzed the whole thing, and he knew that Feng Bao's brain was not as good as Zhang Juzheng and others, so he said it very clearly. Feng Bao immediately understood what Qin Tai meant, these people were obviously embarrassing Qin Tai, but they were actually targeting Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao. And they calculated that Qin Tai would come to them, and they might be able to trap Qin Tai and his wife. It is very likely that even the confession was prepared, and the purpose was to target Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, saying that Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng colluded with each other and used Qin Tai to challenge Jinyiwei. They wanted to elevate Emperor Longqing, Gao Gong and Meng Chong, and control the cabinet and harem. If Qin Tai admits it, this crime can directly cause Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng to step down. Jin Yiwei's method of torturing the prisoner Feng Bao knew that if Qin Tai didn't agree, they would have nearly a hundred ways to force Qin Tai to draw a confession. At that time, even if Concubine Li Guifei wanted to protect Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, it would be impossible to convince Emperor Longqing and many ministers. Besides, Meng Chong and Gao Gong will definitely stop Li Guifei, and if Li Guifei is charged with "interfering in politics in the harem", Li Guifei will also have something. The crown prince, who lost the support of his mother Li Guifei, was most likely deposed by Emperor Longqing. In this way, Feng Bao didn't even have a chance to turn over, and Feng Bao didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Feng Bao looked at Qin Tai pleadingly, now Feng Bao was out of proportion and couldn't think of any way. If Qin Tai asked Feng Bao to kneel and beg him at this time, Feng Bao would not hesitate to agree. Compared to his future and life, dignity is nothing, Feng Baocai will not take care of these face issues.
Qin Tai patted Feng Bao's shoulder and said slowly, "Shuangbao, don't worry. Now that we've guessed their methods, we can find a way to crack them. They guessed that I would definitely go to them, so I would have written the so-called confession one step earlier. It will definitely involve you and your uncle, and it is more likely that you have secretly become an alliance. Attempts or have begun to target the emperor, the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Gao, and the eunuch Meng Chong, the eunuch who holds the seal. even pointed the finger at Li Guifei or the crown prince. If my words were to say directly, Concubine Li and the crown prince tried to force the emperor to step down, or imprison the emperor. If this is the case, the emperor will definitely be angry when he sees it, he will definitely kill you, drive Zhang Juzheng out of power, put Concubine Li Guifei in the cold palace, and abolish the prince as the prince. ”
Feng Bao's face turned pale with fright, and said, "Then, then, what should we do?" Are you going to ask your uncle for help? Or go to the concubine? ”
Qin Tai supported Feng Bao, who was about to stand unsteadily, and helped Feng Bao to the chair on the side. Feng Bao grabbed Qin Tai's hand, unwilling to let go. I was afraid that Qin Tai would leave at this time, and no one would be able to save his old life. Qin Tai said: "There is a way. First, I don't have to go to them. As a result, I never got my identification, and three months later I was beaten to death by Meng Chong. You will also be taught a good lesson by Meng Chong. Second, you go to Zhang Juzheng and join Zhang Juzheng to find Emperor Longqing. While turning his face with Meng Chong in the front, he will also offend Emperor Longqing. The result is either that Emperor Longqing gave up Meng Chong to fulfill you, or Emperor Longqing took the opportunity to use Meng Chong to oust you and Zhang Juzheng. However, I warn you that even if you win by doing so, you will lose the emperor's trust in you. The third way is to do it yourself. ”
Feng Bao looked at Qin Tai and said, "What do you do?" I don't want to wait for death, and I want to fall out with Banzai. I wonder how to do it the third way? How sure are you? What are the consequences? ”
Qin Tai said: "This method is a bit risky, but I think it can be done. First, we can't go to Uncle. Because if you go to your uncle, it will confirm that there is a relationship between us, and even the emperor will be suspicious. What is our hope, as long as we don't implicate our uncle, my uncle will have a way to save us. Second, we can't go to Concubine Li either. We can't give the other party an excuse for Li Guifei to instruct us. As long as Concubine Li is safe, the crown prince will be safe, and if the prince becomes the emperor in the future, he can rehabilitate us. Third, you must be prepared to be punished by the emperor or ministers, or even lose the status of the eunuch who is the master of ceremonies. ”
Feng Bao gritted his teeth and said, "Say it." As long as I can save my life, the concubine and the prince will not fall, and I am willing to do anything. It's a big deal to start with miscellaneous eunuchs. If I can survive, I will bite and kill Meng Chong, the old dog. ”
Qin Tai said: "This method is that we will calculate it. When they waited for me to get into the trap, I sent myself to the door. But you have to send people to surround the Jinyi Guard and command the yamen and get their confessions in hand. As long as I don't have a confession, this confession is evidence of their guilt. attempted to divide the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince, framed the deputy assistant of the cabinet and the first eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, and even framed the mother to slander the emperor, creating an unwarranted panic. Shuangbao, you don't forget your identity. The Governor of Dongchang not only monitors the officials and the common people, but also monitors the Jinyi Guard. Since it was Jinyiwei's people who framed Zhongliang and the royal family, it should be up to you Dongchang to come forward to arrest him. At most, you have to bear the charge of transferring troops without authorization and besieging the Jinyi Guard and commanding the yamen. I believe that as long as this matter is known by Concubine Li and Uncle, they will definitely protect you. They know who they are doing and what the consequences will be. You took the initiative to take all the blame alone, and you will be rewarded by them. ”
Feng Bao said while rethinking: "This method is good. But it's too dangerous for you to do that. Why don't I send someone in with you? As long as you can stick to the work of a cup of tea, I will be able to take my people into the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard. As long as you don't die and don't make a confession, they are framing Zhongliang. We are famous, even if we sue Long Live Lord, I have a reason. ”
