The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Above the main hall today, the atmosphere is very strange.

The edict that Feng Bao brought out really shocked the people present. Of course, Gao Gong was the most shocked.

And Gao Gong has great doubts about the authenticity of this edict. After all, the emperor's will should be drafted by the chief minister of the cabinet. However, Gao Gong, who is the chief minister of the cabinet, has not drafted any nature The imperial edict, not to mention the will.

Gao Gong really wanted to accuse Feng Bao of forging the emperor's edict face to face. This was definitely an opportunity to get rid of Feng Bao's serious troubles, but Gao Gong never dared to do so. Just like Feng Bao said, the palace All imperial edicts and edicts, whether handwritten or oral by the emperor, are all well-documented.

When Feng Bao said this, Gao Gong was at a loss in his mind. First, he wasn't sure whether the will was true or not. Although Gao Gong was sure that he hadn't drafted it, it didn't mean that the will must It's a lie. After all, during the six-plus years of Longqing's reign, Gao Gong was not the only one who served as the chief minister of the cabinet. In case Longqing had prepared all of this early and asked Xu Jie to draft the will, Gao Gong At this time, if you dare to say that this is a fake, it would be quicker for Gao Gong to wipe his neck with a knife.

Secondly, Gao Gong doesn't dare to gamble. After all, after Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, even if Feng Bao, the eunuch, really became the auxiliary government, his Gao Gong position would definitely not be able to escape. If he is confident that he can overwhelm Feng Bao, then the one who was born, that is, in his own generation, actually has a eunuch who becomes an assistant government. Such a matter of reputation, or in other words, the self-esteem of the posthumous name.

This time, Gao Gong has lost, and there is no room for recovery. Gao Gong has to admit this, but... It's just that Gao Gong, who has returned to the court and served as the chief assistant of the cabinet, has long since returned to the court. Not the high arch it used to be.

In the past, Gao Gong was very bold. Even when he suffered a loss, he could laugh it off, but the current Gao Gong is different. The crazy Gao Gong used huge power to attack those who opposed him. They, and the process is even more extreme.

And because of this, on the other hand, Gao Gong couldn't admit his failure. During these days, most of Gao Gong's attacks on many people were successful, and even if he didn't achieve his goal in the end, But it was also accomplished.

In the same way, Gao Gong's crazy behavior naturally attracted the revenge of many people, not because Gao Gong occupied the position of the chief minister of the cabinet, no one could shake him, or everyone was afraid of him, but these People either failed; or they were ended by many other reasons when they were only one step away from successfully defeating Gao Gong, and even the failure of these people would be used by Gao Gong to counterattack .

In short, during this period of time, even if Gao Gong won less, he always won every time. It can be said that he only wins and never loses.

However, this time, just today, Gao Gong lost all his body, and he was powerless to fight back, so how could Gao Gong be reconciled.

However, no matter how unwilling Gao Gong is at this time, a loss is a loss, and there is no room for recovery.

The speechless Gao Gong and his flushed face have now turned purple, making people worry that he will just hold his breath like this.

However, none of the people present cared about his issue at all. Except for Guo Pu, everyone looked at Gao Gong indifferently. Many of them even felt that if Gao Gong really appeared at this time What's the matter, that's fine.

However, such a dramatic event did not happen.

"I don't know if Mr. Gao has any questions," Feng Bao asked, "If not, please ask Mr. Gao to retreat. After all, this is the place where the emperor stayed when he was in court. Although Mr. Gao is the chief minister of the cabinet, but Standing here is still too disrespectful," Feng Bao reminded Gao Gong "kindly" with a smile on his face.

"..." After a long while, Gao Gong couldn't say a word. Finally, he could only snort coldly, looked at Feng Bao with extremely resentful eyes, and walked back to the place where he should have been standing in desperation. It's just a matter of occasion, Gao Gong's arrogance never allows him to do this, even if he loses this battle, he still wants to leave with his head held high.

If it weren't for this time, the matter of persuading Zhu Yijun to ascend the throne has not yet been completed, I am afraid that Gao Gong will leave directly.

"My lords," Feng Bao saw that Gao Gong had gone back, he continued, "Now that the last emperor's edict has been issued, I think all of you have understood it."

Originally, it was Gao Gong who took up Feng Bao's remarks, but at this time, Gao Gong obviously would not do this.

"Now that the matter has been settled, the late emperor's edict has also been released." The speaker was naturally Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet minister. "Should we choose an auspicious date now, and invite Your Highness to ascend the throne?"

When Zhang Juzheng said these words, the ministers standing below did not say anything, obviously acquiescing, and Gao Gong was simply too lazy to say anything, and even if he asked him to talk about this matter, he would not be able to say anything.

"Master Zhang's words are very true," Feng Baoying said, "Although the late emperor passed away not long ago, a country cannot live without a king for a day, and it is better for His Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

Speaking of which, Feng Bao looked at Zhu Yijun politely, as if he was asking for his opinion, but obviously, Feng Bao didn't take Zhu Yijun too seriously, and he had not seen Zhu Yijun's expression before. Turned around.

This scene was all seen by the ministers standing in the audience, but none of these people said anything.

Feng Bao dared to do this, he must have something to rely on, and now, not to mention Zhu Yijun, even Li Guifei who is sitting behind, the queen mother who will inevitably be regent in the future, did not express anything about it. What else can I say.

It's just that in the hearts of many people, especially some ministers who are extremely loyal to the court, such as Ge Shouli, their eyes are full of melancholy. They all understand in their hearts that if this continues, it may become a repeat of many historical tragedies in the future. But at this time, none of the people present said anything, or rather, they all understood that even if someone who dared to speak out loyally and had no regard for his own life stood up and pointed at Feng Bao and yelled at Feng Bao, the situation would not be the slightest bit worse. Change, in the end, will only mean that those who stand up will be retaliated by Feng Bao in the future, and it will not be beneficial to the current situation.

But Zhang Fan didn't pay attention to these things. As a person who came from the past, a person who was reborn from the future, even though Zhang Fan was not very proficient in history, he still understood some things.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were almost no eunuchs who could disrupt the government. Of course, like Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian, who were famous in history, in the final analysis, these people were just doing wrong because of their personal greed. It is true that these people It caused a lot of trouble to the court and the country, but it did not bring disaster to the country and the people. On the contrary, for various reasons, these people, these eunuchs still had to pretend to be "good people" to the people.

In the final analysis, this is just a problem between the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty. It has an impact on the people, but it is not great.

As for Zhang Fan, he knew the names of the famous Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian in his previous life, and he didn't even remember Wang Zhen, who was as troubled by the government as they were. In high school history textbooks, Feng Bao's name is hardly mentioned.

From Zhang Fan's point of view, with Feng Bao's current powerful position, there could only be two reasons why future generations would treat him so indifferently.

Or, during the Wanli Dynasty, Feng Bao was mediocre and mediocre. He neither made any great achievements nor made any major mistakes. It's mediocrity.

Or, it was that Feng Bao kept evil intentions, but before he had time to accomplish something, he was suppressed by others, and even who this person was, Zhang Fan already had a candidate in his heart.

By that time in the future, Feng Bao must have eliminated those who wanted to oppose him and had the capital to oppose him. Gao Gong is not young, and he may not be the chief assistant of the cabinet for a few years.

Although many people agree with Ge Shouli, those people may not be able to stand up to Feng Bao.

Zhang Juzheng, this is even more impossible. Now Zhang Juzheng is already tied to Feng Bao, and it seems that the relationship between the two is still very good. This is why Zhang Fan is quite critical of Zhang Juzheng, his teacher. Although Zhang Fan himself and Feng Bao are quite close now, they are still far from Zhang Juzheng.

Then there is only one person left who hates Feng Bao, but has the capital and ability to overthrow Feng Bao, and this person is far away in the sky, right in front of us, just above the current hall .

That's right, it was Zhu Yijun, the present His Royal Highness, who would be called His Majesty in a few days.

During this period of time, Zhu Yijun hated Feng Bao to the extreme, and in a few days, Feng Bao, who became the assistant government, would definitely make Zhu Yijun hate him even more.

However, although the emperor Zhu Yijun is very young now, he will be in charge one day, and at that time, it will naturally be Feng Bao's turn to be unlucky.

Maybe, maybe before that day, things will change, maybe,
