Chapter 33: Stranded!
Hai Rui wrote down these words in the case booklet of the Sanju Division, and asked the two jury officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple for their opinions.

Because they are Zhang Juzheng's confidantes, they knew that it would be best for Feng Bao to never open his mouth. In this way, many secrets between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng would not be known, so they had no opinion and both signed.

Early the next morning, this question was approved by the cabinet, and Zhang Jing personally sent it to Zhu Yijun.

After Zhu Yijun looked at it, he nodded: "Criticize it."

"Yes!"

Zhu Yijun asked again: "What did Feng Bao say after hearing the result of his execution?"

Zhang Jing told Zhu Yijun what Feng Bao had said.

Zhu Yijun didn't speak after hearing this.

Because it is useless to say more, it is too late to say sorry after you have completely lost.

It didn't take long for Feng Bao's verdict to be hanged, and Feng Bao was sent to the gallows that day.

At first, Feng Bao was calm.

But when he saw the rope that was about to hang him, he couldn't help trembling, he still didn't want to leave so quickly.

He would rather not have any power anymore, but also want to continue to live.

However, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Feng Bao was eventually hanged.

"My lord, Feng Bao has been executed."

Not long after that, Zhu Yijun learned the news from Zhang Jing.

Zhu Yijun nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

And when he thought of the pair of eyes staring at him all the time for Empress Dowager Li, who was so greedy for money that he used the princess as a tool to make money, and that the person who looked at him as a child was really gone, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Understood, back off."

But no matter how relaxed he was physically and mentally, Zhu Yijun finally only said this.

Zhang Jing bowed his hands and said yes, and went back to the Supervisor of Rites.

As soon as he arrived at the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Zhang Hong stood up and asked him, "Grandpa Feng is gone?"

Zhang Jing nodded.

Zhang Hong immediately slumped back on the chair, his eyes dull.

Seeing this, Zhang Jing asked, "This is godfather?"

Zhang Hong suddenly murmured: "The emperor is the emperor, no matter how young the emperor is, the emperor is also the emperor. This is the fate of not keeping his duty and bullying the emperor!"

"What godfather said is right. Mei Xiang asked for help, he, Feng Bao, is actually the same as us, but he himself forgot."

Zhang Jing replied.

Zhang Hongdao: "Although he forgot. But Mr. Zhang, you and I must remember."

"Godfather said so."

Zhang Jing replied with a smile.

Zhang Hong said again: "Stay in the inner court, you must know what the emperor wants."

After speaking, Zhang Hong asked Zhang Jing: "Do you know what the emperor wants?"

"The emperor wants to support Zhang Juzheng's restructuring, wants to get rid of the predicament of living without money, wants to fill the treasury of Daming after taking office, wants to have a larger elite of emperors in Daming, and wants to be the emperor of the prosperous age!"

Zhang Jing replied.

Zhang Hong laughed after hearing this: "It is related to your own insight that you have come to this point."

"It's also because of my godfather's teaching."

Zhang Jing replied humbly.

Zhang Hong said again: "You're right, the emperor has this in mind. Otherwise, a eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and seals will not be sentenced to death by a civil servant in Hai Rui. If this is the case, before the emperor takes power, you and I The internal ministers should give three points to the cabinet, don't get involved in the affairs of the foreign court, and let the scholar-bureaucrats fight on their own!"

"Godfather is right."

Zhang Jing bowed and replied.

Zhang Hong smiled, and suddenly said: "Since that's the case, our family will resign as the admiral of Dongchang, and recommend you to replace our family. Presumably, Eunuch Zhang already knows how to be admiral of Dongchang."

"Godfather! This is not right, my son did all this for your godfather!"

"The purpose is to let your godfather have the same power as Feng Bao. Although my son does not obey him, Feng Bao, he will definitely obey you!"

Zhang Jing suddenly knelt down and said.

"enough!"

"Stop calling me godfather!"

"You are the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies and who is in charge of the pen. Although you are not the chief assistant, you are also one of the nine cabinet ministers. If you call our family father-in-law, you are already paying respects to our family! How can you call godfather two?" What's more, you will be the new factory owner soon, how can the factory owner call our godfather, unless you and I don't want to live anymore!"

Zhang Hong got up suddenly, said a few words sharply, and said, "Eunuch Zhang, you should understand? Besides, didn't you say it yourself? The family is willing, the queen mother is willing, and the emperor is not willing! You are actually right!"

"Besides, haven't we reached a consensus just now? It is the emperor who can decide life and death in this world! If the emperor wants to get rid of Feng Bao, you Zhang Jing will take the initiative to get rid of Feng Bao for the emperor; in the future, if the emperor wants to get rid of you , some people will take the initiative to get rid of you for the emperor, and even civil servants from other courts who have never looked at us seriously will take the initiative to help the emperor get rid of us, have you forgotten so quickly?"

"My son dare not forget! No, our family dare not forget!"

Zhang Jing replied with some disappointment.

"That's not up yet!"

Zhang Hong said coldly.

Zhang Jing stood up awkwardly.

He seemed to want to kneel in front of Zhang Hong, but Zhang Hong didn't want him to kneel, and he couldn't keep kneeling, and he was afraid that other eunuchs would really see him kneeling in front of Zhang Hong.

"Resign from the post of Admiral East Factory?"

Zhu Yijun had just begun to write some theoretical knowledge he had mastered in later generations, and he could no longer just read Confucianism and history books because of Feng Bao's thoroughness and contentment. Zhang Hong and Zhang Jing, the chief eunuchs, Just came here with him.

And Zhang Hong came to take the initiative to resign from the post of admiral of the East Factory.

Zhang Jing came to ask for the addition of a new eunuch, Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong first.

Zhang Hongdao: "Returning to the emperor, the old slave is old and frail, and he is not good at investigating cases. What's more, the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies is not suitable for admirals in the East Factory. Therefore, the old slave please resign from the post of admiral in the East Factory."

Zhu Yijun nodded after listening.

He knew that this was the result of Feng Bao's fate, so he said, "If that's the case, let's draw up an order for Zhang Jing to take over."

Zhang Jing also said at this time: "Your Majesty, the eunuchs and eunuchs who are in charge of ceremonies may not be enough. What's more, the implementation of the examination method is imminent, and the number of affairs will undoubtedly increase. A new invigilator in charge of ceremonies, Bingbi, should be added."

Zhu Yijun also nodded: "Then let Zhang Cheng enter the ceremonial supervisor."

The two quickly bowed and said yes.

Zhu Yijun then waved his hand: "If there is nothing to do, just step back."

Both of them retreated respectfully.

Zhu Yijun saw that these two people did not insist on leaving like Feng Bao, and they both resolutely left the Qianqing Palace after he gave such an order. Naturally, he felt more at ease, and for a while he began to write his own book with more interest. .

But when he was busy writing, Zhu Yijun turned up the memorial.

This time, he didn't just flip through the ink books, but directly brought a stack of original books to his case, and casually took one to read, intending to practice it once.

"The Ministry of Industry has decided to build a new Buddhist temple for the Empress Dowager Cisheng, which will require 67 taels of silver."

But when Zhu Yijun read the content of the first draft, he immediately frowned: "It will cost so much?"

Immediately, Zhu Yijun threw the original book aside, and said to himself: "Forget it, let Zhang Juzheng do the matter of offending the Queen Mother."
