Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 448
It was midsummer, and the weather was changeable. In the evening, there was a shower of rain in the capital. The rain was heavy and urgent, and it destroyed flowers and trees. It came without warning, just like the anger that Gao Gong sent in his study after returning home generally.

The servants of the Gao Mansion had already retreated far away from the study room. This was a gesture made by the young master who opened the door to them. The servants were very grateful, after all, no one dared to be angry as Gao Ge's elder.

Why is Gao Gong angry?Wasn't it because Gao Wushi reported Meng Chong's resignation and Feng Bao's upcoming appointment as the Supervisor of Rites to Gao Gong.And that's not all, Gao Wushi also told Gao Gong that Meng Chong's resignation was persuaded by him.

Perhaps this is the reason for Gao Gong's anger to add to his anger, because Gao Yushi had never talked to him about this matter before, and this matter was completely done by Gao Yushi without authorization.

But Gao Yushi was not panicked, but turned his head and told Gao Gong everything that happened in Yongning Palace, and analyzed: "Sanbo, the key issue right now is not who will be the supervisor of ceremonies, but whether the two palaces and the emperor are in charge." I have enough trust in you—this is like when the Emperor Daxing was here, would you really care whether the seal of the Supervisor of Rituals is Chen Hong or Meng Chong?"

"No, you won't." Gao Wushi didn't wait for Gao Gong to answer, and said decisively: "Because Emperor Daxing has unparalleled trust in you, no matter who the supervisor of rituals is doing the palm seal, he can only give it honestly. Your ticket is intended to be used as a treasure—so in the final analysis, the power of the world does not lie with the Supervisor of Rituals, but with the Emperor!"

Gao Gong's temper is straightforward and impatient, but it doesn't mean he doesn't use his brain, so when Gao Wushi said these words, his anger immediately disappeared by [-]% and [-]%. sit down.

After a while, Gao Gong said: "Old man knows that what you said is not unreasonable. It is true that you persuaded Meng Chong to resign because of the unexpected situation in Yongning Palace, but there is one thing you can't ignore: When the Emperor Xing was around, it was impossible for the old man to be in touch with the Emperor Daxing with the palm seal of the Supervisor of Rituals, so the government affairs were smooth. But now it is different. As the chief assistant of Gu Ming, even if the old man can still get in touch with the Emperor at any time, it is useless , because the emperor is still too young, the real caller... You saw it today, it is actually the imperial concubine! This old man is a servant of the outer court, so it is impossible to go to the imperial concubine to discuss everything, and it is even more impossible for the imperial concubine to be like the emperor Daxing That way, if there is something you don’t understand, just call the old man to see him.”

He took a deep breath and sighed: "You should know the difference, that is, the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies can cut off the connection between the emperor and the prime minister, thereby manipulating the overall situation of the world, just like all kinds of powerful officials throughout the ages. You too You should know how serious the consequences will be for the court if a villain like Feng Bao is allowed to gain such power!"

If it is as Gao Gong said, it is indeed a big problem, and Gao Yushi must admit this.

However, Gao Wushi did not intend to panic, but calmly said: "If Feng Bao can really control the supervisor of ceremonies, my nephew agrees with Sanbo's analysis, but my nephew can say with confidence: as long as Sanbo and my nephew are still in the capital, Feng Bao has no such ability."

Gao Gong narrowed his eyes suddenly, stared at Gao Yushi for a while, and asked, "What's the reason?"

Gao Wushi stood up, walked around and said, "When Meng Chong was in charge, the five masters of the supervisor of ceremonies were Feng Bao, Chen Hong, Huang Mengyu, Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju. Among them, Feng Bao, Chen Hong and Zhang Cheng, They were all former ministers of Yu Mansion. After Emperor Daxing ascended the throne, Feng Bao and Chen Hong entered the palace to serve, Zhang Cheng was sent to Nanjing to serve as the guard eunuch, and Chen Ju's qualifications at that time were still a little shallow, Huang Mengyu was from Daxing The emperor is the farthest, but in terms of status, he had already served as the eunuch guarding Datong at that time."

"Later, Chen Ju was moved by his nephew and transferred to Zhongcui Palace to serve the prince. Huang Mengyu was also transferred back to the capital because his nephew recommended him in front of Meng's palm seal. Later, after the previous conflict with Mr. Zhang Ge broke out At that time, Meng Zhangyin proposed to adjust the structure of the Supervisor of Rituals, and obtained the consent of the Emperor Daxing. Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju were promoted to Bingbi, and Feng Bao lost the concurrent palm of Yumajian, thus forming the current situation of the five major Bingbis. "

Gao Wushi paused for a moment, seeing that Gao Gong didn't intend to interrupt, he continued: "Now, we don't know what the will of tomorrow will be, but even if Meng Chong resigns, the Supervisor of Ceremonies probably won't If too many adjustments are made, there is a high probability that each Bingbi will rise in order. In this way, among the four major Bingbis, there are still at least two people—that is, Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju, who we can trust Yes, and Chen Hong..."

"Who does the East Factory belong to?" Gao Gong interrupted suddenly: "If Feng Bao is promoted to the palm seal, will he hand over the position of Admiral of the East Factory? If he does, who will he hand it over to? Chen Hong?"

Gao Wushi shook his head slightly, and said: "This is the problem at hand. Concubine Li Gui is not very familiar with the four major pens other than Feng Bao. Chen Hong and Zhang Cheng both served the Emperor Daxing in the early years. The noble concubine can only count as somewhat intertwined, but they definitely don't know much, and they are far less caring than Feng Baolai, so it is difficult to determine how Li Guifei will arrange Dongchang in terms of closeness alone."

Gao Gong said with a gloomy face, "The worst case scenario is that Feng Bao is in charge of the East Factory under the seal of the Ritual Superintendent. If that's the case, this beast will be really difficult to control..."

This is for sure, the official seal is the last person to stamp the bill. If he thinks the bill is inappropriate, he can send the bill back to the cabinet to ask for a new bill. If it was changed in the Longqing period, there might not be any palm seal Dare to casually type Gao Gong's ticket back and ask for a redraw, because if Gao Gong gets angry and asks the emperor directly, the emperor will hardly object to the teacher's opinion, and the palm print will be embarrassing, even dangerous.

But now that Long Qing is gone, imperial power is largely exercised by Concubine Li Gui, and it is impossible for Gao Gong to ask to see Concubine Li Gui at will, and it is impossible for Concubine Li Gui to meet Gao Gong at random, so it is easy for Feng Bao to become bigger in the middle , and then exercise the right of refusal to return Gao Gong’s votes at any time. Don’t think that this is a trivial matter. Once or twice may not be a big problem, but if there are more and more intensively, the political prestige of the capital will be greatly affected. It is huge.

And if he also controls the Dongchang at the same time, it will be even more serious, which is equivalent to not only having the unshakable administrative power of the outer court, but also the supervisory power that is not restricted by the outer court.In other words, as long as Feng Bao can hide or coax Concubine Li, his power can be infinitely magnified, close to the imperial power itself.

Gao Pragmatic's face also had to be serious, and he said slowly: "So the order we have drawn up before cannot be changed, we can only have Feng Bao first, and then Jiangling."

"The order is unchanged." Gao Gong frowned deeply: "But the problem now is that the imperial concubine regards whether the old man agrees with Feng Bao as a test of his loyalty. Feng Bao, you can't even speak out in private, so how can you get rid of the protection?"
