I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 7 The Attacking Feng Bao

"Hey, you bunch of heartless things! Think about how I, Feng Bao, treated you before."

Feng Bao, who had just received twenty lashes from the imperial guards, was lying on the bed, cursing non-stop. There was a wooden basin beside the bed, the hot water in it had already been stained red with blood, and there was no one inside or outside the house.

According to common sense, ordinary people would have died long ago if they were forced to bear the twenty lashes of the imperial army, but Feng Bao's adoptive father was Lu Fang, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies. Otherwise, you will be half disabled if you don't die.

"Eunuch Feng? Eunuch Feng?"

While Feng Bao kept yelling and cursing, a young eunuch tiptoed around and looked around, only daring to show his face when he saw no one around.

"It's Xiao Lizi, why, you also came to see my joke?"

As Feng Bao said, he sneered, his face full of contempt.

"No... no, I'm here to give medicine to my father-in-law. I had a drink with an apprentice from the imperial hospital before, and he gave it to me as soon as he was happy."

The eunuch Feng Bao called Xiao Lizi hurriedly explained, not forgetting to take out a small white porcelain bottle from his bosom.

"This is medicine for golden sores. It is specially used to treat wounds caused by sticks and whips. Come to Eunuch Feng. I will apply the medicine for you. Be patient."

The powder of golden sore medicine was sprinkled on the wound, and a hot feeling came. Feng Baoshi gritted his teeth, not letting himself make a sound. After a while, the hot feeling gradually subsided, and a cool feeling came from the wound.

When the pain from the wound subsided, Feng Bao reluctantly turned his head and looked up and down at the thin little Li.

Being scrutinized by Feng Bao, Xiao Lizi lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

"Think about how imposing I, Feng Bao, was at the beginning. Your name is Xiao Lizi. Okay, very good! Come here."

Xiao Lizi hesitated for a moment, walked quickly to Feng Bao's bed, and bent down.

"Although I'm not powerful now, it's okay to protect you as a little eunuch. I wonder if you'd like to recognize me as foster father?"

"To Eunuch Feng, Xiao Li is willing!"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Lizi nodded repeatedly like pounding garlic.

"Is it still called the father-in-law?"

"Fuck... godfather!"

……

In the capital city, inside the Yan Mansion.

Yan Song finished his duty in the cabinet, and went straight to the study as soon as he got home.

"Father, my son has something important to discuss!" On the way to the study, Yan Song was stopped by his son Yan Shifan.

"Let's go, go to the study and talk."

The father and son entered the study room, but they did not close the door. The charcoal fire was burning inside the room, and a wave of warmth came over, dispelling the chill on Yan Song's body a lot.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Yan Song stretched out his hand to the stove and roasted it firmly.

"Qingliu sent Tan Lun to Zhejiang." Yan Shifan lowered his voice and said.

"Oh? The battle in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is raging, why send Tan Lun to Qingliu? Is it going to block Hu Ruzhen?"

"Yes, Hu Ruzhen is your student after all, I'm afraid..."

Before Yan Shifan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted angrily by Yan Song.

"Hmph, the overall situation of suppressing the Japanese in the southeast must not be messed up. Even if Qingliu wanted to fight, he probably wouldn't dare to make a fuss about it. It will anger the emperor, and everyone can't bear it!"

"Father, the imperial meeting will be held in a few days. There are still many mistakes and omissions in the account books of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry."

"It's okay. Before this, I have already drafted a ticket with Mr. Xu Ge and the others in the cabinet. As long as the supervisor of ceremonies is not in trouble, it should be able to pass. Besides, their buttocks don't wait for us to help wipe them. .”

Yan Song was roasting on the fire, and the temperature in the room made him a little drowsy, so he lay down directly on the Hu bed regardless of his image.

Seeing that his father was a little sleepy, Yan Shifan planned to leave, but when he reached the door, Yan Song stopped him: "How is the inspection in Zhejiang going?"

"Returning to father, according to the report of the officials sent by the child, if the plan is implemented smoothly, Zhejiang and Zhejiang will pay at least 800 million more taxes for the court."

"true?"

"My child has checked it many times, and it is true!"

"Okay, then next time the imperial meeting, I will try to mention it before the emperor."

Yan Song said that his mouth was dry, so he got up, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup.

"The kid is leaving."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he bowed and left.

"Also, take care of the officials under you, Zheng Michang, He Maocai! Hmph, the reports have all come to me."

Yan Song's voice sounded from behind, Yan Shifan's face was gloomy, Zheng Michang, He Maocai, one is the chief envoy of Zhejiang, and the other is the procurator of Zhejiang, they were all promoted by themselves.

"By the way, close the door."

"Yes, father."

……

In the middle of the night, Lv Fang, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, dismissed the surrounding eunuchs and came to the place where Feng Bao was currently living alone.

Feng Bao was lying on his stomach, half asleep and half awake, suddenly caught a glimpse of a black figure standing beside his bed, and when he was about to call for help, his mouth was covered by the black figure.

"Shut up and keep your voice down!"

Soi Ying covered his mouth while trying to lower his voice.

"Godfather! I knew you never gave up on me."

And Feng Bao also heard the voice of the black shadow, and his expression was joyful. This is his adoptive father, the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty besides the emperor.

"Father, you have to decide for me! Seeing that I'm losing power, these white-eyed wolves hide from me like a plague god." Feng Bao wanted to turn over when he got excited, but he didn't know that the movement was too big to affect the wound. Grinning in pain.

"You, you're lucky this time!" Lu Fang looked at the wound on Feng Bao's body with an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Big luck?" Feng Bao looked at Lu Fang with confusion.

"As for today's matter, you have left your name on the emperor's side. Do you still have to tell me what to do in the future?"

"But didn't the emperor just let the imperial army beat me twenty lashes?" Feng Bao was still puzzled after hearing Lu Fang's explanation.

"You boy, how can you be so stupid..." Lu Fang shook her head, and then patiently explained.

"At that time, Mr. Xu Ge said that. If you don't find someone to take the blame, you won't be able to turn the chapter. Besides, the emperor also needs to explain to Mr. Xu Ge. What should you do if you leave it to the gang of Qingliu to punish the crime?"

Thinking of the possible fate of being arrested and punished by Qingliu, Feng Bao couldn't help shivering.

"So, the emperor is protecting you! These twenty whips are really worth it!"

Seeing that Feng Bao had already understood what he said, Lu Fang looked out the window with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but sighed, "Father will still rely on you if you don't define me in the future!"

"Don't dare, dare not, I will definitely serve my adoptive father well!" Feng Bao comforted Lu Fang when he heard Lu Fang's words.

"I'm happy today, so I'll send you a few more words, you have to listen carefully!" Lu Fang said, his eyes gradually became deep.

"Those who are officials often say that you have to think twice when you are an official. What is this double thinking? It is nothing more than thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, and thinking about change!"

"Thinking of danger, thinking of retreat, thinking of change." Feng Bao murmured Lu Fang's words in a low voice, and then fell into deep thought.

"If you know the danger, you can avoid the danger. This is called thinking about danger. Hiding in a place where no one pays attention to you is called retreating. When you step back, you will have a chance. Look slowly, think slowly, where did you go before?" If you make a mistake, what should you do in the future? This is called thinking about change.”

"Report to righteous father, the child understands!"

After getting rid of the depression in his heart, Feng Bao only felt that his thoughts were clear, his body and mind were refreshed, and even the wound on his back didn't hurt so much.
