The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"In this court, it doesn't matter if I don't have Gao Gong, but without you, Mr. Li, I will lose a good colleague in the future." Everyone here has a deep hatred, but now he is showing such eagerness. Looking at his rosy face, he is obviously drunk, but his appearance does not seem to be drunk at all.

You know, the so-called speaking the truth after drinking, but for Gao Gong, he has some gaps with almost everyone present. If he really came to speak the truth after drinking, it should be a bad word to everyone present It is right to face each other, but now, Gao Gong's words are simply words of reluctance to part with an old friend who is about to part.

Perhaps, Gao Gong was not drunk at all, and what he said now was just pretending to be crazy with the strength of alcohol. A person who can bend and stretch can actually do this for his own future plans.

However, not many people would believe this situation. Gao Gong’s decades of experience as an official told everyone that no matter how violent Gao Gong was, no matter how heartless he wanted to suppress his political opponents, Gao Gong would definitely Disdain to use this method, he will say it loudly and confidently in a public place, and will never play this kind of trick that makes people relax. Moreover, everyone does not believe that Gao Gong does not know, this For those who have worked in the imperial court for decades, who else would fall for this kind of trick.

Then there is only one possibility left. What Gao Gong said now are all his sincere words. It also makes people feel that it is possible.

Back then, Gao Gong was not at odds with Xu Jie from the very beginning. Gao Gong joined the cabinet because of Xu Jie's recommendation, and he respected Xu Jie. He has great ambitions, although he himself has some minor problems, but this will not hinder his lofty ideals. All in all, the former Gao Gong is a minister with lofty ideals and ambitions, and a very good relationship with others.

However, ever since Xu Jie forced him into this appearance, everything seemed to have changed at this moment. It was not in an instant that Gao Gong became what he is now, but slowly and little by little since that moment. He began to change, but it was precisely because of his slow change that he changed so completely now, so cruel to people without leaving any room for it.

But even so, even in the days when all officials in the Manchu Dynasty are avoiding Gao Gong like fire and water, no one can deny that Gao Gong no longer has the lofty intention of serving the country in his heart, but everyone can no longer bear Gao Gong. Arch this seemingly endless revenge.

So today, Gao Gong's seemingly impossible words to Li Chunfang let people know his true thoughts again. At this moment, everyone felt that Gao Gong seemed to have returned to the Gao Gong from years ago. He is sincere, treats others well, and is outspoken, but, unfortunately, Gao Gong is obviously drunk at this time, and when he sobers up, he will turn back to the one who made trouble, The annoying high arch that frantically suppresses its enemies.

It's a pity, a pity, it's a pity that Gao Gong couldn't just stay drunk like this.

And in the same way, although the people present today don't hate Gao Gong, they even feel that Gao Gong is a little pitiful, especially Xu Jie who is present now, who personally forced Gao Gong into this appearance, seeing Gao Gong This appearance of drunkenness can't help but sigh in my heart, it seems that I have some regrets, but when he sobers up, and when he turns into an annoying appearance, everyone will still hate him, fear him, and hope that he will leave .

"Hey, today is Master Zhang's great joy, so we don't have to talk about those troubles in the court, come, come, drink, drink," Feng Bao seemed to let go of the hatred between him and Gao Gong at this time , persuaded Gao Gong very enthusiastically, he didn't look like an enemy with a deep hatred at all, but a friend with a deep friendship.

Today's Feng Bao can be regarded as proud of his spring breeze. Because of his own impeachment and the things recorded in the account book that Zhang Fan got back from Liu Shan, Meng Chong has been dragged away by Long Qing in front of all the court officials. Go on, and the follow-up investigation of this matter naturally fell into the hands of Zhang Fan, the commander of Jinyiwei who seemed to have no enmity with Meng Chong, but in fact really had no enmity.

It's just that this matter has now involved Feng Bao, so Zhang Fan has no reason not to help. Moreover, the most important thing is that Feng Bao has already started to investigate Meng Chong's property status. He has already found out that there are a lot of money related to Meng Chong, but the reason why he has never impeached Meng Chong on this matter is because the money he found out has no direct relationship with Meng Chong. If the impeachment was based solely on these above reports, Meng Chong or Gao Gong could easily seize the loopholes in it to prevaricate the past, but the situation is naturally different now, once there is evidence that Meng Chong has received a large amount of money Evidence, then the money that has even a slight relationship with him will be easily counted on Meng Chong's head. In this way, and Meng Chong has already been detained by Long Qing, he can't argue with it. , and Gao Gong, the person who sent him to the top position, will never stand up and speak for him again.

After learning that Longqing sent Zhang Fan to investigate this matter instead of himself, Feng Bao didn't mean to be unhappy at all. He immediately sent someone to deliver the things he seized to Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan got these things. After things, there is only helplessness. It seems that Feng Bao's resentment is indeed quite deep, but I don't know whether his resentment is directed at Meng Chong, or at the position of eunuch in charge of the chief of ceremonies.

In short, everything happened quickly and ended even faster. After Zhang Fan got the evidence sent by Feng Bao, he did not delay and handed it in immediately. Under Feng Bao's pressure, it was all saved, and he was directly sentenced to Qiu Houwen's execution. Although Meng Chong is now in a daze in the sky prison, the eunuch with palm prints plays a very important role, and it is absolutely impossible for Long Qing to let him go. It was empty, and Feng Bao, as the most qualified and only successor, ascended to the position he dreamed of without the slightest obstacle.

Today's Feng Bao is in charge of the Dongchang, the most powerful espionage organization in the Ming Dynasty, the Yumajian, a yamen second only to the Silijian, and the Silijian, the highest-ranking yamen in the eunuch department. Moreover, he is sitting at the highest position that a eunuch can achieve. The eunuch is in charge of the chief of ceremonies. Feng Bao, the eunuch's official, can be said to have achieved the greatest level. It is absolutely impossible for him to rise up again. All that has to be done is to consolidate one's own rights which are bound to be consolidated.

Speaking of which, these guests in Zhang Fan's house, including Zhang Fan, who is now an upstart in Long Qing's eyes, may not be promoted as fast as Feng Bao, whether it is the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, or the admiral of the East Factory. Perhaps the grades of these official positions are not worth mentioning in the eyes of other officials, not to mention that they are eunuchs, so no one will pay too much attention to them, but in terms of status, Feng Bao is now He is only in his thirties, but he has already sat at the highest position he can sit.

I am afraid that few people can compare to this point, just like Zhang Fan, although he is now the title of Prince Taifu and Zhongyong Bo, but because he is in charge of Jinyiwei, it is impossible for him to enter the cabinet again for the rest of his life up.

All in all, for the wedding banquet in the Zhang Mansion today, all the people who can be regarded as famous in the court have come. Whether it is Gao Gong, the number one civil servant, or Feng Bao, the number one eunuch, it seems that there are two military generals to fill the scene , and, although some of the people who came hated each other, I don't know whether it was because of the two glasses of wine, or whether Zhang Fan really had such a big face. In short, today's scene can be regarded as amicable. It gave Zhang Fan enough face.

"Let's say, Master Zhang, please don't just sit there all the time," Feng Bao said with a smile when he saw Zhang Fan sitting, but didn't touch his glass, "Since Master Zhang is very happy today, Days, but in the face of those of us who came to congratulate, Mr. Zhang can't just stop drinking like this. Could it be that the new girl will not be allowed to enter the house because he is afraid of getting drunk? Our family has seen this Miss Yue'er, it's really pungent," Feng Bao seemed to be drinking too much today, and he actually made such a joke with Zhang Fan, and he didn't care at all that this kind of thing offended him as an eunuch. The pain, but also talking and laughing.

Speaking of it, Zhang Fan really made Feng Bao touch the pain point. He knew that he was not good at drinking, and it was just like Feng Bao said, he was afraid of Yingyue... So today he restrained himself a lot. I was afraid that I would get drunk, but now that Feng Bao had already said these words, other people who were already a little drunk would not let Zhang Fan go, and they all gathered around to persuade him to drink.

Seeing this posture, Zhang Fan knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only smile wryly in his heart.

When the banquet in the courtyard of the Zhang Mansion was in full swing, all attention was attracted by Zhang Fan. No one noticed that there was a pair of eyes staring at the backyard of the Zhang Mansion.
