The third time he stole the dragon and turned the phoenix
Qin Tai looked at Zhu Yijun, who was no longer crying on the side, and looked at the expressions of these people from time to time. In the end, Qin Tai made a surprising decision, he wanted to talk to everyone individually. If everyone doesn't cooperate, Qin Tai said that he doesn't care about this matter. Zhang Juzheng agreed first, Tan Yan also immediately agreed, Zhang Gonggong also nodded and agreed after glancing at the crown prince, and Feng Bao was the last person to agree. As for Zhu Yijun, Qin Tai directly ignored it, because such a child could hardly ask for any useful information.
Qin Tai called out his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao, and asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to hold the child in the main room and accompany everyone with the old drunkard master. And Qin Tai was the first to call Zhang Juzheng, and the two of them went into the inner room to talk alone. In it, Qin Tai asked Zhang Juzheng about the situation in the inner court these days, and Zhang Juzheng could hardly say. It turned out that although Zhang Juzheng had a good relationship with Feng Bao, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Juzheng generally did not meet Feng Bao directly. In addition, these eunuchs Meng Chong and Gao Gong walked a little closer, and Meng Chong intentionally or unintentionally hindered Zhang Juzheng from entering and leaving the inner palace. So these days, Zhang Juzheng not only does not control the situation inside, but also begins to lose his understanding of the inside. Zhang Juzheng also faintly heard some rumors after Zhu Yijun broke his leg. It seems that some officials and eunuchs are saying that Zhu Yijun has become lame, and whether it is a problem of being an emperor is out of character. didn't know that this matter was so serious that it threatened the status of the crown prince and Li Guifei, and indirectly affected himself and Feng Bao. As for who came out of the rumors and what they spread, Zhang Juzheng is not clear.
After Qin Tai sent Zhang Juzheng out, he called Tan Yan inside. Tan Tan didn't need Qin Tai to ask, he told Qin Tai some of the things he heard. Tan Yan and Zhang Juzheng know about the same, but Tan Tan knows a little more than Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Gong seems to want to use this opportunity to target Zhang Juzheng. For this reason, Tan Lun and Gao Gong had the first verbal conflict, and Tan Lun believed that the crown prince could not be used to attack Zhang Juzheng. Although this can hit Zhang Juzheng, it cannot absolutely bring Zhang Juzheng down, and it will affect the reputation of the crown prince Zhu Yijun. In the end, Gao Gong did not tell Tan Tan about the overall plan, and Tan Tan felt for the first time that the teacher Gao Gong was gradually controlled by the desire for power.
After sending out Tan Yan, Qin Tai skipped Feng Bao and directly called Gonggong Zhang in. Father-in-law Zhang is not very old, only about thirty, which is the right age. However, this eunuch is more honest, and there is only one crown prince Zhu Yijun in his heart. In just a few words, Qin Tai can be sure that this father-in-law Zhang is not only very loyal to Zhu Yijun, but also can die for Zhu Yijun. is an out-and-out good minion, and a good nurse who treats Zhu Yijun as a relative. It's just that he focused all his attention on Zhu Yijun and didn't care much about anything else, plus his identity, so he almost didn't hear any useful news. It's just that Father-in-law Zhang still expressed some of his opinions, indicating that he has also heard some gossip in the past few days.
The last person to be invited in was Feng Bao, Qin Tai looked at Feng Bao and did not ask directly. Because Qin Tai knew Feng Bao's personality, and also knew Feng Bao's status and rights in the inner court. Among these people, Feng Bao must know the most inside information, Feng Bao knows the most about the current environment, and Feng Bao is the person who has the most right to speak. But Feng Bao deliberately kept a low profile, which meant that Feng Bao had other plans. If he wants to help Zhu Yijun, Qin Tai must first take down this ambiguous Feng Bao.
Feng Bao was already a little out of breath, and he really regretted it a little. Knowing that Qin Tai was doing this to him, Feng Bao would never suggest that everyone come to Qin Tai for help. Qin Tai seemed to be the nemesis of all eunuchs, almost killing these people. Feng Bao is not a simple person, except for being afraid of Zhang Juzheng, not to mention Emperor Longqing and Concubine Li, even Gao Gong and Tan Yan don't care too much. Feng Bao regarded the position of the eunuch in charge of the master of ceremonies as his bag, and imagined the future scenery. At that time, Li Guifei became the empress dowager, Zhu Yijun was the nominal emperor, Zhang Ju was the first assistant of the cabinet, and he was the eunuch who communicated with the inner palace of the outer court. Nominally, Empress Dowager Li and the little emperor are in charge, but in fact, he and Zhang Ju are in control. For the sake of his position and power, he can do anything, he can attack anyone.
Qin Tai looked at Feng Bao and finally spoke. He said, "Duke Feng, do you really want to help the crown prince?" I see that your help to the prince is fake, and I want to know if my background and strength are true. Say, do you want to save the prince? Do you want to save Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun? Do you want to save Concubine Li? Let's be honest. ”
"You, you, what do you mean by that? Of course, the miscellaneous family wants to save the master. Only by preserving the future king of Xiaoye, will the miscellaneous family have a future. Besides, the master was raised by me from a miscellaneous family, and he was still the prince of the world at the time, and I served the miscellaneous family little by little. The miscellaneous family cares more about the future of the master than anyone else. Feng Bao said a little out of control. The so-called "little master" refers to the crown prince Zhu Yijun, and "Shizi Ye" refers to the official name of Zhu Yijun when he was still the Longqing Emperor of King Yu at that time.
Qin Tai glanced at Feng Bao, and obviously saw that Feng Bao's actions and words were too contrived, and there were too many performance elements. It can be seen that Feng Bao really has a problem, and Feng Bao is not sincere and wholeheartedly helps Zhu Yijun. Qin Tai is different from Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, although Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun are not stupider than Qin Tai, they are not professional masters of solving crimes. Although they are political veterans, they are almost outsiders when it comes to solving crimes. Although Qin Tai doesn't like politics, he is a master in solving cases, and he is very good at checking the looks of suspects. No matter how cunning Feng Bao is, he can't compare to a habitual offender, so he can't control his facial expressions.
Qin Tai looked at Feng Bao, and gradually stimulated Feng Bao with the method of treating criminals: "Just now Gonggong Zhang said that the prince has not had many relatives and friends since he was a child. He said that although the crown prince was not like the children in the palace who couldn't see his biological mother, he was not very close to Concubine Li. In his impression, his father, queen and mother were not as close as the people around him. He often sleeps with Grandpa Zhang, and hugs Grandpa Zhang tightly in his dreams. He also told Grandpa Zhang that he treats you as a father and Mama Zhang as a mother. Mama Zhang seems to be the prince's wet nurse, right? She left two years ago, so the prince cried for a whole month. He treats you as a relative and calls you Daddy. So what do you do with him? When is he your own child? Or is it your little master? Prince? Or is it a tool that you utilize? Father-in-law Zhang has already regarded the prince as his everything, and he can die for the prince. What about you? Do you have the prince in your heart? If you don't have him in your heart and don't treat him as your own, you won't really help the prince. You can not help, but beware of the prince's complete disappointment in you. You also have to worry that the loyal father-in-law Zhang will do something stupid, and he may beat you or even kill you when he learns about it. ”
Feng Bao's face became worse and worse, and he couldn't help touching a sachet on his waist. It turns out that this sachet has a origin, a story about Zhu Yijun and the nurse Mama Zhang. Zhu Yijun, who was still the prince of Yuwangfu back then, had two guardians around him who could die for him. The nurse Mama Zhang is one, and the other is Feng Bao today. Zhu Yijun privately regarded Mama Zhang as his mother and Feng Bao as his father, although they didn't dare to accept this title, but their hearts were very sweet. Mama Zhang's child died, so she regarded Zhu Yijun as her own child and took care of Zhu Yijun sincerely. Feng Bao also took care of Zhu Yijun for his own future and prospects. Mama Zhang's husband saw that Mama Zhang stayed in Yuwang's Mansion, so he simply stopped his wife and remarried, and divorced Mama Zhang. Mama Zhang had no choice but to stay in Yuwangfu and treat Yuwangfu as her home.
The sachet was given by a woman to her lover or husband in ancient times, and the sachet for a minor child was also made by the mother. Mama Zhang made a sachet for Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun, who was only three years old, suggested making a sachet for Feng Bao. Mama Zhang hesitated for a long time, but she still listened to the words of the prince and made a sachet for Feng Bao. As a eunuch, Feng Bao never expected a woman to make a sachet for him, so when he got the sachet, Feng Bao almost lost control. Although this secret is only known to the three of them, it is also a promise.
Zhu Yijun is tantamount to being in charge, and promised Mama Zhang to Feng Bao as his wife, Zhu Yijun is not only a witness but also a matchmaker. But for the sake of his own future, Feng Bao cooperated with Li Guifei to deal with Mama Zhang. Zhu Yijun thought that Mama Zhang had gone home from the palace, but in fact, Feng Bao followed Li Guifei's instructions and killed Mama Zhang. Feng Bao didn't feel wrong at the time, although he felt a little guilty but didn't regret it. But when Qin Tai said this, Feng Bao not only felt sorry for the little master Zhu Yijun, but also felt sorry for Mama Zhang.
Although Feng Bao is not a normal person, it does not mean that he has no feelings. In fact, not only he Feng Bao, but also other eunuchs are the same, they are actually more sensitive than ordinary people. They always feel that normal men and women look down on them, and everyone looks at them with colored eyes. The masters of the palace actually don't treat them as human beings, in addition to using them, they treat them like slaves, and even make fun of them. So they actually want to get affection and care, but it's a pity that everyone is hypocritical to them. Physical defects, environment, character development, etc., caused these eunuchs to be suspicious, greedy for money, stingy, and ruthless. But they are very kind to their relatives, and almost regard their relatives as a continuation of themselves. Feng Bao was also very eager for someone to care about him, and the sachet made Feng Bao excited for a long time, and once he regarded Mama Zhang and Zhu Yijun as his relatives. But then he was gradually attracted to power and forgot about this almost real family affection. Feng Bao asked himself privately more than once, which one is more important, between power and Zhu Yijun, who was raised single-handedly? Zhu Yijun represents the future, so Feng Bao is good to Zhu Yijun, that is, he has the future and power. Now that there is a disagreement, Feng Bao began to be confused.
