Chapter 245 Victory in the First Battle (Part [-])
The memorial has also been read, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also finished his comments. According to the procedure, the next step is inspection time: the Crown Prince and his companion returned to the Wenhua Palace again, and asked the lecturer about some of the things they learned today that they did not quite understand.

But the Three Character Classic is really only the foundation of the foundation, it does not involve complicated principles, and the prince has already read it, so the prince has nothing to ask, and the official has nothing to say. In the end, the prince just recited it again in front of Chen Jingbang. The study was over, and Chen Jingbang immediately announced that the class was dismissed.

At this time, an eunuch dressed in the uniform of a young eunuch stepped forward and handed the thin book in his hand to Chen Jingbang.

This eunuch was none other than Chen Ju who had just been transferred to the prince's side a few days ago.His current job is to "serve the prince, and record the prince's words and deeds" - the prince reads a memorial every day. It is the dialogue between Prince Cai and Gao Yushi and Feng Bao after he observed politics just now.

In his early years, Chen Ju studied and practiced calligraphy in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and he did well, so he got this job. …], and he not only had to record it once, but also copied it twice, and finally made three copies: one was kept in the prison of ceremonies, one was handed over to the emperor, and one was handed over to the cabinet by the lecturer on that day.

The copy just now was undoubtedly handed over to the cabinet.

Feng Bao was also standing beside Zhu Yijun at this time, watching the booklet being taken by Chen Jingbang with a gloomy face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Although Feng Bao's "official status" is theoretically higher than Gao Yushi's by a thousand miles, but in the eyes of the emperor, eunuchs are just domestic slaves, and no matter how young Gao Yushi is, he is still a "Bachelor". So Feng Bao could only stand on one side when the prince was studying, but Gao Wushi had a yellow pear wood desk twice as wide as the desks of later generations of students and a straight-backed wooden chair, and he was sitting there solemnly at the moment, extremely serious Looking at the Three Character Classic spread out on the desk.

Even Zhu Yijun felt that Gao Yushi was really serious about reading after reading it: With Gao Shidu's knowledge, what is so good about these three-character classics?Gudu has recited it backwards.

However, Gao Yushi actually didn’t read a single word. He just used his special skills in some conferences in later generations: concentrating on one’s mind and wandering away…

Yes, while the inspiration just now was still there, Gao Wushi was thinking hard about the reason why Concubine Li Gui's use of Feng Bao was so different before and after Longqing's death. He intuitively thought that this might be the key to getting rid of Feng Bao.

Feng Baoneng was trusted and reused by Concubine Li Gui, first of all, it must be because he was transferred to the Prince Yu's Mansion at that time early, and after following for a long time, of course it was easy to gain trust.But this reason is definitely not enough, because there are many eunuchs in Ming Dynasty, and there are not many eunuchs assigned to Prince Yu's Mansion. Why are others not as important as Feng Bao?It can't be the forerunner of Lord Feng Baowei, or Lai Ai II, right?

Gao Wushi subconsciously glanced at Feng Bao.

But that's right, there is no need for white face, and the beard root is gone. Thinking back, he smells very strong, which is indeed the performance of a normal eunuch - and it shows that the harem system of the dynasty is extremely strict, and he really serves by the concubine's side There are very few eunuchs, and when there are eunuchs, there will always be maids by the side. It is impossible for concubines in the harem to be alone with eunuchs. With the maid of honor.

Talking about concubines, even the empress dowager had to be controlled - when Emperor Yingzong came to the throne, he was too young to manage politics, and the empress dowager was in charge of power, and because it was inconvenient to meet important officials, the system of ticket imitation was created.Therefore, Feng Bao will definitely not be favored because of such nasty reasons as "the penis is not clean". It is pure nonsense that Zhang Juzheng has an improper relationship with Queen Mother Li in the unofficial history-you have to say that Queen Mother Li thinks If Zhang Juzheng is handsome and I want to use him, then I have nothing to say.Besides, Empress Dowager Li secretly showed Zhu Yijun "The Biography of Huo Guang", saying that she admired Zhang Juzheng?This all implies that the emperor will kill him sooner or later...

Think about it again, Zhu Yijun later liquidated Zhang Juzheng, and by the way assigned Feng Baofa to Nanjing Xiaoling to grow vegetables. What did Queen Mother Li do?Hmm... there are only four words "The Empress Dowager Asks" [Wufeng's note: "Bao Zhifa Nanjing also, the Empress Dowager asks."].

It seems that Empress Dowager Li still remembered Feng Bao at that time, but the problem was that after the emperor explained it, especially when the emperor said that when King Lu got married, all the folk jewels were dedicated to Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao by "shameless officials". After protecting the two of them, the Queen Mother directly said: Just ransack the house of the two of them...

It can be seen that Concubine Li or Empress Dowager Li has no personal feelings for Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao—even if she has, it is far less than her concern for her two sons. She uses Zhang Juzheng because of Zhang Juzheng's ability; Bao... It should be that Feng Bao served well before, and he was able to cooperate well with Zhang Juzheng.

Because only in this way, the country will not be in trouble, and the position of his son will be secure.

It can be seen from this that Li Guifei's purpose, in the final analysis, is to let her son sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, and there will be no bad situation of "the master is less suspicious of the country".

This in turn explains that when Long Qing just passed away, Gao Gong's unintentional "ten-year-old emperor, how to rule the world" actually caused him to be the first assistant of the two palaces in the name of the emperor. As soon as the decree was drawn to the end, he was not even given a chance to distinguish, so he asked to leave his job and return to his hometown immediately.

You know, the central edict is scary enough: Today, there is a senior scholar Gao Gong who is in charge of the government, and he has seized all the power and blessings of the court, and the emperor is not allowed to be the ruler.I don't know what he wants?My mother and son were frightened and restless.Go back to your hometown with a high arch and live idle, and you are not allowed to stay.

Zhang Juzheng instructed Feng Bao not to mention the crime of false accusation, but Gao Wushi focused on "my mother and son are terrified and restless" at the moment.

Fear!This is the key!

The edict of Emperor Daxing has been promulgated, the emperor's position has been established, and the separation of monarchs and ministers has been determined. Why did Gao Gong's unintentional words cause the empress dowager, mother and child to "frighten and restless"?
There are two reasons: First, Gao Gong was the most important minister in the Longqing Dynasty, and the late emperor relied on him for everything, so Gao Gong's prestige at this time was almost as high as the sky.However, during the reign of San Yang in the previous generation, after the early collapse of Wu Zong, he was able to surpass the royal family and make such a major event as Zhu Houcong as the emperor.Later, when Jiajing succeeded to the throne, due to political disagreements, Yang Tinghe directly sealed and returned the emperor's edict many times, refusing to issue and execute it. Although after a difficult tug-of-war, Jiajing finally won the victory, it can also be seen from this that When the emperor was young, how much power did the chief assistant of the cabinet have!Then Empress Dowager Li was afraid of Gao Gong and really had the idea of ​​"abolishing the monarch and establishing another", so it cannot be said that it is incomprehensible.

Second, Feng Baoneng became the chief inspector of ceremonies immediately after Long Qing's death, obviously promoted by the Empress Dowager Li, and Gao Gong, because Feng Bao was relatively "qualified" among eunuchs, was different from Liu Jin. It was very similar back then, so Feng Bao was always suppressed.Gao Gong took this action as a matter of course, he wanted to prevent the eunuchs from messing up the government!But from Queen Mother Li's point of view, it's not necessarily so—you are challenging Aijia!
Because in her eyes, Feng Bao is hers, and only by letting him be the supervisor of ceremonies can the power be guaranteed to be in the hands of the emperor, not in the hands of that "private Gao Gong" like Meng Chong!
