The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"It's just that, even though that's what you said, it always makes people feel uneasy," said Sun Piyang, even though Zhang Siwei was so sure, and after receiving the news from his subordinates just now, Sun Piyang still couldn't let go of his heart Come on, it's not that Sun Piyang is too indecisive, otherwise he would not have the ability to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but there is a reason for him to be like this.

The reason why Sun Piyang was so worried was actually because of Feng Bao. The few things he did before left a lot of deep "impressions" in the hearts of the ministers in the court.

At the beginning, ever since Long Qing passed away, it had actually started, and the contents of that edict had already made all the officials in the court slander. I have encountered the incident of the supervisor's disorderly administration. Although Liu Jin didn't make a big fuss that time, it did happen, and although it has been a long time since the Zhengde dynasty, in fact It's just two dynasties of emperors, which is still fresh in people's memory.

However, Feng Bao's name suddenly appeared in Long Qing's edict and on the list of future assistant ministers, which made people suspicious. Moreover, in the final analysis, Long Qing trusted Feng Bao a lot. , but Long Qing didn't like Feng Bao. How should I put it, Long Qing didn't seem to like eunuchs very much. Of course, if you look at it this way, Long Qing is actually quite good for Feng Bao.

All in all, an eunuch acting as an assistant government is really too contrary to harmony, but for the people in the court, they feel nothing more than that, but they don't think about it further. After all, Long Qing himself is A maverick emperor, in fact, it seems that every emperor in the Ming Dynasty is different and has their own characteristics. If Long Qing really made this decision, even though he objected in his heart, he understood and would Not impossible.

That's why Gao Gong was very angry when he heard the news, but he never went to Long Qing or Queen Mother Li to verify the truth of the matter. If it was true, Gao Gong would be in trouble.

And since the day when Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, Feng Bao has stood by Zhu Yijun's side, even when he was in court, he accepted the civil and military worship of the Manchu court very frankly, and he didn't mean to shy away from it at all. The ministers were very displeased, but since even the emperor didn't say anything, and the Queen Mother Li didn't restrain him, what's the use of them asking again.

And it was from that time that Feng Bao had the capital in his hands, and because of this, Feng Bao's way of dealing with people has changed. It is no longer like in the past. He has to find a suitable reason and has to have According to the evidence, even if it is a false accusation, you must be fully prepared. From then on, Feng Bao became a little arrogant.

And after that, in the battle between him and Gao Gong, it ended with Feng Bao's victory. After Gao Gong was expelled from the capital, Zhang Juzheng won the championship among the ministers, but Zhang Juzheng also stood with Feng Bao Yes, up to now, in the imperial court, there are not many people who have the capital to not listen to Feng Bao, and they must be people like Ge Shouli. He has the capital not to follow Feng Bao's accent, and Feng Bao can't do anything about him But that's all, what Ge Shouli can do is only here.

After Gao Gong left, Feng Bao ruled the wind and rain in the imperial court, and his family dominated. Fortunately, he himself did not have any "ambition", and Feng Bao's talent was also affirmed by the ministers. It is more stable and more positive than the previous one, but no one likes this situation, and no one wants it like this, and although this situation looks good, people's lives are Those who are trembling, some are afraid that they will cause trouble if they do something that will make Feng Bao displeased, while others are afraid that Feng Bao will turn over old scores.

Today, what Sun Piyang is worried about is caused by Feng Bao's factors. After expelling his greatest enemy, Gao Gong, Feng Bao began to recruit his subordinates and strengthen his own power. In addition, what Feng Bao is still doing is to attack political opponents, and this time, what Feng Bao is doing is not just that simple. "People, even those who had only had some friction with him before, he will not let go.

Of course, there is no need to mention those who have old enemies. After all, Feng Bao now has strength and has reached the peak. It is normal to play with them, but to attack those who did not have much hatred against him in the past, in the final analysis, it is Feng Bao. Bao is just standing up, he is telling these people, and also telling those who have no old enemies with him, but also have some thoughts in their hearts, don't think about making trouble for themselves, they are just killing chickens and monkeys.

However, although people don't say it, almost everyone feels in their hearts that Feng Bao's doing so is unnecessary. In fact, when Zhu Yijun just succeeded to the throne, people didn't have this idea. Gao Gong is here, and if it is true, Gao Gong's power is greater than Feng Bao's, and even if the two of them fight, it will affect others, but as long as they have a good vision, they can still do it alone.

But when Gao Gong fell, everyone understood that Feng Shui of the imperial court had already given up. Now that Feng Bao's family is dominant, no one can challenge him anymore. Therefore, Feng Bao's subsequent actions In the eyes of many people, it is superfluous.

But now, Sun Piyang suddenly realized that he understood why Feng Bao would do this. Feng Bao's doing this was definitely not superfluous or useless, but had great significance, just like Sun Piyang now. I understand that everything is beneficial to Zhang Siwei now, but Sun Piyang still feels uneasy in his heart, and always feels a little uneasy. It is obviously a matter that can be settled, but he still feels a little inappropriate.

At this time, Sun Piyang suddenly understood Feng Bao's intention for doing this. Yes, it was to influence people's hearts. It is human effort, and things are always done by people. If the people who do things are restless, it is easy to make mistakes. If there is a mistake, there will be consequences that will deviate from the original track, and then I don’t know.

All in all, Feng Bao's trick is quite effective, but...

Sun Piyang, who was restless, raised his head and was about to say something, but he saw Chen Wenchuan, Zhang Fan, and Zhang Siwei himself, all of whom were very calm, and Sun Piyang understood when he thought about it. .

That's right, Feng Bao's influence is nothing more than people's hearts, and the reason why he is shaken is because his will is not firm. Zhang Fan and Chen Wenchuan can say that, after all, Zhang Fan's identity is there, maybe he is already a Think of some way, maybe he can make himself retreat, and Chen Wenchuan, after all, he also has such a relationship with Zhang Fan, Sun Piyang can understand the calmness of the two.

But as for Zhang Siwei, the person concerned, he was involved in this matter after all, and if he was a little careless, he would be in big trouble. Bao, but in the face of this situation, Zhang Siwei was extremely calm.

Is it really because he is not afraid of death? Sun Piyang thinks no, no matter what, it might be better than death, and he doesn't believe that Zhang Siwei can't see the reason for it. In this matter, he can't lose to Feng Bao. Victory is necessary, from Zhang Siwei's own point of view, there is no need to explain it, and even more so from a moral point of view, once Feng Bao can successfully pull Zhang Siwei down in this matter, the consequences will be disastrous.

Although Feng Bao's family is the dominant one now, in the final analysis, there is still a force in the imperial court that can compete with him. The group of people standing in the middle is large in number. No matter what happens, these people can still stand up against Feng Bao.

But if Feng Bao succeeds in this matter, the situation will be very different. No one will dare to stand up against Feng Bao, but there will definitely be a lot of fewer people. It's a situation that no one wants to see.

As for Zhang Siwei, he is also very concerned about national affairs. It is impossible for him not to consider this situation, so even for Zhang Siwei himself, he cannot lose this time.

In that case, Zhang Siwei himself must be extremely nervous, but now Zhang Siwei has a relaxed look on his face. I couldn't help laughing at myself, the people in it can be so free and easy, why am I so nervous as an outsider.

"By the way, I don't know when the day of the interrogation will be," Zhang Siwei asked.

"Tomorrow," Sun Piyang said, "I said it when His Majesty's imperial decree came down. When Mr. Zhang arrived in the capital, he immediately began to try the case. Mr. Zhang also knew that this matter happened very seriously. Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Li is also very concerned, it's better to solve it as soon as possible."

"Well," after hearing what Sun Piyang said, Zhang Siwei didn't say anything, but just nodded.

But Zhang Fan lowered his head, thinking about something,
