Wanli Xinming

Chapter 29

In October of the first year of Wanli, Chen Ju, the superintendent of the Fengcheng East Factory in Nanjing, left Xiaoling with a handwritten letter of "free from custody".

In his hometown, Fengjia Village, Shenxian County, Zhili, the gorgeous mansion that had just been built at the beginning of the year had already stopped construction, showing a dilapidated appearance.His younger brother Feng You and nephew Feng Bangning were also released and demoted from official positions to civilians.

Feng You was tortured and frightened in prison, and he fell ill in bed shortly after returning home.When he was cured, he received another letter from Feng Bao.

Feng You said to Feng Bangning: "Meng Tianen is mighty, your uncle has been released and is working in Nanjing. What's the use of my body? Let your brother stay at home with me, you go help your uncle."

Fortunately, Chen Juzhi's protection came in time, and the Feng family's family business in their hometown was saved a little. Although it was less than ten thousand taels of silver, it was not difficult to dismiss the servants and maintain a well-off life.

The family sold the house in Diantian, packed up the silver taels and moved to Shenxian quietly without anyone noticing.Feng Bangning saw that the house was properly set up and went to Nanjing to join Feng Bao.

When I arrived in Nanjing, I followed the address on the letter and found a house with three entrances.Feng Bangning announced his name, and the concierge, who was five or three thick at the door, went in to report.After half a cup of tea, Feng Bangning was led into the central hall.

Feng Bangning saw Feng Bao standing at the entrance of the hall, wearing ordinary cotton clothes without any decoration.Only the thin body is still standing, smiling.

After Feng Bangning saluted, the uncle and nephew cried together again.Feng Baoxi asked about the details of the family, and he quoted Feng Bangning as he sat down and said, "You have no support today, and you are standing after the new year, and put away all the habits of the past. Follow me to do things, and you can slowly revive your family business."

Feng Bangning used to be in the capital, and he was a figure like a tiger sitting on the ground, from high officials in the Shangshu to the county yamen, who would dare to disrespect.

Today, the phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken. He knows that the pillars of the family have collapsed, and it is a blessing to save his life. He said: "Don't worry, uncle, Bangning will overcorrect, and I dare not worry about Uncle anymore."

Feng Bao heard this and said in tears: "I didn't expect our family to fall here!" Feng Bangning comforted a few words, but asked, "How did the uncle hate the emperor and end up in such a field?"

Feng Bao listened, and the licking on his face slowly disappeared along with the tears.solemnly said: "How do you know that our family hates the emperor?"

Feng Bangning said, "If it wasn't for the emperor, would there be anyone in the world who could trip up the uncle?"

Feng Bao smiled and pointed to a letter hanging on the wall: "Go and look at that letter."

When Feng Bangning stood up and looked at it, he saw a large character hanging on the wall. It was written "Homo sapiens Guizanghui", signed in the Yijun book of the first year of Wanli, and there was no seal, so it was very plain.

Feng Bangning was required to be strictly educated by Feng Bao since he was a child, and he was somewhat elegant.I have also been in and out of Feng Bao's house many times, and I have seen Yubi. At this time, I can't close my mouth and said, "This is Yubi?!"

Feng Bao nodded and said yes.Feng Bangning asked curiously, "If that's the case, why did the emperor expel Uncle?"

Feng Baodao: "When I think about it at this time, I suddenly realize that it is a lifetime! Since the beginning of the year, the emperor has made great progress in the holy study, but I thought that" Before I finished speaking, my throat choked and I could not speak.

After calming down for a while, he said, "What's wrong with our family? The mistake is thinking that we can manipulate the emperor's heart!" After speaking, he pondered for a while, as if sorting out his thoughts.

After drinking a sip of tea, Feng Bao said again: "Our Jiajing Dynasty entered the palace at the age of ten, and it has been more than forty years now! I was fortunate to read in the inner book hall, and I also worshipped several godfathers. I was repeatedly told before and after, Royal slaves can't be arrogant, how many examples of Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, Liu Jin are there!"

"In the past six years of Longqing, I have lost my vigilance, manipulated and even corrected myself." He stopped again.

Seeing Feng Bang Ning listening quietly, Feng Bao finally spit out the words that he had held back in his heart for a long time: "People should think twice, think about danger, think about retreat, think about change! It's a pity that I have been smart all my life, but I was blinded by power. Forget all the teachings of the old teacher!"

Feng Bangning smiled bitterly and said, "Who can avoid it? Uncle can't be too self-denying."

Feng Bao has completely calmed down and said with a smile: "The emperor woke me up with this stick, but he gave me a cloak before leaving, and let Chen Ju keep us, otherwise you and I can sit here? No more!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "After my defeat, Fang Rumeng first woke up, and only then did he realize how the people who used to live in front of me betray me and hurt me!" His tone was full of resentment, and he burst into tears.

Feng Bangning hurriedly comforted him, "It is indeed unusual for me to protect the leader like an uncle in the failure of an official in the court. It can be seen that the uncle protects the emperor and has kindness to him, and the emperor still misses the old feelings."

Feng Bao smiled bitterly and remained silent.I had speculated in my heart for many days, wondering why the emperor wanted to expel him?Because he is the liaison between the Empress Dowager and Quan Xiang, if he is here, the Empress Dowager will unite with the foreign court, and if Zhu Yijun makes a mistake, the throne will not be guaranteed at any time!
Why save him later?Just leave one behind!At this time, although the emperor was firmly in the throne, there was still King Lu's younger brother one year after he ascended the throne.If that powerful minister can contact Cisheng, the abolished emperor will also be turning his palms!

The emperor was deeply scheming, and for some unknown reason, he learned that Ci Sheng and himself had joined forces with Zhang Juzheng to correct the edict.Leave Feng Bao behind and do things with him. Once the emperor can escape from the palace change, he can use his own backhand to strike!If I stayed in the palace, I would definitely not be able to stand by the emperor, but at this time, if I wanted to survive and take revenge, I could only rely on the emperor!
And no matter how big he is outside, the surveillance of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang is indispensable.It is impossible to enter the inner palace again in this life, even if you hate the emperor, what harm will it hurt him?On the contrary, he must be conscientious and conscientious in handling errands, so that the emperor will not even have this "old relationship" with him!

It's just that with such thoughts, there is no need to talk to Feng Bangning.The two talked about family affairs for a while, and Feng Bao said, "You came here to work hard, but you went to rest. I have something to do with you tomorrow."

Feng Bangning accompanies Feng Bao to dinner, and the housekeeper leads him to settle.Feng Bangning was surprised when he saw that he had a maid serving him.Originally, I admired Feng Bao a little, but at this time I felt that he was unfathomable.

The next day, Feng Bao called him and said, "When you were in the capital, you spent all day hanging out in the brothel, and you would also write obscene words and songs." Seeing Feng Bangning's coy, he took out a stack of paper and said, "This is business."

"This kind of thing can't be hard on you. You can find some Tsao, and according to the outline and theme on this paper, go to write books, words and novels, and sell and distribute them in the streets. I have There is a printing bookshop with a set of copper movable type from the Da Nei Jing Factory. You can take care of it. There is only one—" Sen Ran looked at Feng Bangning, "The accounts must be clear, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."

When Feng Bangning looked at it, he saw that the content on the paper was divided into dozens of parts. The topics included "Ming Heroes", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Yang Family Generals", "The Biography of Yue Fei", etc., all with themes and outlines. There is no content.I don't know who wrote it.

Feng Baodao: "This should be the outline and gist of the emperor's oral statement, recorded by the inner book hall. I think the inside story, but the emperor has to unite people's hearts and put the words "national righteousness" into the hearts of the people. You do it carefully and cannot be ignored! "

With a sigh, he said, "I, Feng Shuanglin, profess to be a scholar of heaven and man, but I never dreamed that I would play with people's hearts like the emperor!"

　Finally. Lao Mo is going to sleep for a while and skip work this morning.
