Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 442
Believe it or not, no war in the world is fought because of love and justice. There is one and only one reason for war, and that is profit.

Feng Bao may not have heard of such a lofty theory, but it did not prevent him from understanding the reason behind it. Therefore, he was very confused when Gao Gong wrote such a proposal, because it obviously did not conform to Gao Gong's behavior. The interests of civil servant leaders.

But things have already happened, and ignorance can't solve the problem, it can only make yourself passive.

Judging from the current situation, being passive basically means waiting to die.

Of course Feng Bao didn't want to wait to die, otherwise he would have already laid down and confessed, what are you doing with Gao Gong until now, how convenient would it be to ask him to resign earlier?So when he heard Zhu Yijun's words, he immediately started to run his brain at high speed, and when Li Guifei's eyes turned back to his face, Feng Bao had already thought of a countermeasure.

He moved closer, lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "Niang Niang, Gao Gong is testing you."

Concubine Li Gui's morality in politics is a little shallow after all, she hesitated when she heard the words, frowned slightly, and asked: "Testing?"

Feng Bao's face was extremely serious, as if he knew everything, and he said in a more serious tone: "That's right, try!"

He paused for a while, and before Concubine Li Gui continued to ask questions, he preemptively used an explanatory tone to continue to divert Li Guifei's thinking: "Major, what do you think Gao Gong is now? He is the chief assistant of Gu Ming and Minister of the Ministry of Officials! If he really wants to do this, he can directly convene the Ministry of Rites and other officials to discuss, and at the meeting, as the chief assistant of Gu Ming, he proposes the proposal of "respecting the two palaces together"... Madam, in his status, as long as Saying this sentence on such an occasion, who would object so blindly? Even more, who can object? "

When Concubine Li Gui heard this, she thought to herself: Yes, what Feng Bao said makes sense. Gao Gong was originally the chief assistant, with disciples and old officials all over the world. Emperor Xing appointed "Anything unresolved, just ask Mr. Gao", and Emperor Daxing treated him as entrusting the crown prince with the community.If he directly summoned the relevant ministers to express his position, wouldn't this matter be settled?Why do we need so many detours!

She thought about it further: If Gao Gong did this, even the empress would have nothing to say—"Anything unresolved, just ask Mr. Gao", but you ask the emperor yourself. from!So, is it really a temptation for him to do this?So what is he trying to test?

Concubine Li Gui was about to ask Feng Bao this question, when the young emperor Zhu Yijun interrupted, and asked with a puzzled look: "Mother, concubine, what is the companion talking about? What is Mr. Gao probing?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Concubine Li Gui hesitated for a moment, thinking that it's better not to tell her son about this matter, lest he think that she only wants to be the empress dowager.In addition, another reason is that I don't know what he thinks about Gao Gong now, and although Feng Bao's words are reasonable, there is no clear evidence after all, so I don't want to be too arbitrary.

So she changed the subject and said, "Well, it's nothing serious... By the way, what is the other memorial in your hand about?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhu Yijun became a little discouraged, his shoulders collapsed, and he weakly raised the memorial, saying: "This memorial is high-level and practical, and he wants to ask the prince to resign to accompany the reading. Know what to do."

"Oh?" Concubine Li Gui didn't know what she thought of, she just said "Oh" and rolled her eyes, but she didn't answer immediately.

Feng Bao saw that Concubine Li Gui didn't seem to have any intention of speaking for a while, so he smiled kindly and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, he used to be the companion of the 'Prince', but now you have inherited the Datong and become the emperor. The name is not worthy of the name, and it is reasonable for him to resign, so why are you in trouble?"

Zhu Yijun said distressedly: "Although that's the case, if he doesn't accompany me, how can he study with me? My father, Huanglong Yubintian, told me before that he should continue to study with me until I take over the government."

Concubine Li Gui thought: "Jun'er's words do have some truth. If the so-called name is not upright, then the words don't go well. As long as you are in Daming, you must have a decent name in everything you do. Now that Jun'er is the emperor, Gao Yushi is the prince's companion." Reading it is the same as abolishing it by itself. It is normal for him to resign.

It's just that Emperor Daxing's will is to continue to stay with Gao Yu to study with Jun'er. This will must not be violated, but the problem is... things are easy to do, but it's hard to find a name.

Concubine Li Gui's worry is certainly not unreasonable. Originally, this "Prince Accompanying Reading" was already a temporary "official" created by Long Qing at that time, but everyone in the world can understand it because the prince is young and is in the "study period". , so it is not outrageous to have a smart child of similar age as the prince's companion. In addition, in order to block the hole that the gang of honorable children "taught" the prince, everyone will recognize it.

But it’s different now, the crown prince has become the emperor, and it seems meaningless to set up companions beside the emperor—a lot of Hanlin officials, such as the Bachelor of Attendance and the Bachelor of Attendance in the Imperial Academy, are not all for the emperor to study and work. The "Literary Page"?Could it be that these people are all trash, and you are more pragmatic and useful?

Concubine Li Gui couldn't compare to Emperor Longqing who had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for a long time. She was really limited, and couldn't think of any good way at the moment, so she couldn't help but hesitate, and subconsciously looked at Feng Bao.

Feng Bao had a troubled expression on his face, showing a look of "deeply worrying about the main concern", but he hummed coldly in his heart, and said inwardly: I want you guys to come up with an idea to give Gao Yushi a serious identity?Go make his mother's spring and autumn dream!Even if the man is complained by the imperial concubine, he will never do him any favors!
In the middle of the cold room, a young eunuch in a flying fish suit walked in from outside without being invited, and called out: "Sister..." Then when he found someone, he hurriedly changed his words: "Uh, I have seen the imperial concubine." Seeing Zhu Yijun standing next to him clearly again, he couldn't help saying in surprise: "The emperor is here too? My minister Li Wenjin, I have seen the emperor."

Li Wenjin is now one of the top eunuchs in the Yumajian, and he is qualified to be a minister—of course Feng Bao is also qualified, but Feng Bao will definitely not call himself a minister in front of Concubine Li, because he calls himself a "servant" It just seemed closer.

When Concubine Li Gui saw her younger brother, her eyes lit up immediately, she waved her hand and said, "Wen Jin, you came just in time, the emperor has something to do here, although it's not a big deal, but it's a bit troublesome..." After finishing speaking, she directly resigned Gao Yushi The crown prince's companion and Longqing's last order asked Gao Wushi to accompany Zhu Yijun to study until he told his younger brother about his pro-government and asked him for advice.

Li Wenjin was not at all embarrassed when he heard this, but instead smiled and said, "What am I supposed to do? So that's why? Concubine, Your Majesty, this matter is very easy."

Zhu Yijun was overjoyed, clapped his hands together, and said, "What clever plan does Uncle Yao have, please come quickly!"
