Chapter 650 is indeed similar
Wang Tong came before, and had all kinds of speculations about what Feng Bao said, but he didn't expect that Feng Bao was talking to him about the past of Zhengde. Feng Bao was as casual as a storyteller, but he reversed the established impression in Wang Tong's heart a lot.
Everyone has their own position. The right or wrong of the wrong judgment will be different due to different positions. No one can achieve complete justice and fairness.
Over the years, Wang Tong has also heard many such things. For example, official historical books say that Yan Song was a traitor, corrupting the court and being greedy, but Wang Tong was always sarcastic about saying that Yan Song had been greedy for more than 20 years, and Xu Jie was honest for less than ten years. Why did Xu Jie's family property be several times that of the Yan family? Before the two entered the officialdom, they clearly had a similar family background.
But nowadays, most of the official articles praise Xu Jie's integrity and Yan Song's greed for me. But why is it that Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are all Yan Song's political enemies, and they must deny Yan Song in order to make them appear correct.
And then again, Yan Song can take the privileges and Xu Jie can fight Yan Song, whoever lets them take the position of auxiliary, whoever lets them fight each other, no matter what historical notes are, they never mention this.
Feng Bao is in his fifties. He entered the Nei Book Hall in the palace to study, went to the various supervisory offices to do eunuchs' contact practice, then determined his errands, and gradually entered the Qunli Supervision, and reached the peak of the inner court.
This resume shows that Feng Bao entered the palace when he was young and spent almost his entire life in the palace with Prince Yu's Mansion. He experienced the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli dynasties. During the Jiajing dynasty, he was not far from the Zhengde dynasty. There may be many eunuch palace ladies in the palace who experienced that era. What they experienced and saw personally were somewhat credible.
Why did Wang Tong vaguely grasp the other party's intention when he said this to himself, but "Feng Bao, who was sitting there, did not finish speaking.
"King Ning rebelled and was pacified in less than a month. Emperor Wuzong failed to fight in the south, and caused a farce to release King Ning and then recapture him. This emperor has extraordinary points, but this ridiculous point is beyond the reach of others!"
Wang Tong has heard this allusion many times, "I wonder if there is a hidden story in this, Feng Bao continued:
"I stayed in Jiangnan after that, but because I fell into the water and caught a cold while traveling in the river, I immediately fell ill and died a few months after returning to the capital."
This is all about historical facts, and Wang Tong's expression has not changed much. Feng Bao asked with a smile after saying this:
"Wang Tong, you are also from the Jinyiwei." You have also been the entourage of the Emperor Longsheng. Our family asked you, how could you fall into the river when you are on the boat?"
Wang Tong nodded subconsciously, then his body shook, stared at Feng Bao, and asked in confusion:
"Eunuch Feng, what do you mean?"
"The things in the record are still reliable, but our family is just confused. Although Emperor Wuzong is addicted to wine and sex, he likes martial arts, and he is well sucked in the water. Why did he arrive in the capital after he gets sick and never get up again?"
Wang Tong shook his head slowly and said with a wry smile:
"Eunuch Feng has been in Da'ai for so many years and must have known many secret and private matters." But what's the use of saying this to the younger generation?,
"Don't worry, don't worry, our family hasn't finished talking yet!"
Feng Bao interrupted with a smile, Wang Tong felt uncomfortable. He probably had a contour in his mind what Feng Bao wanted to say. The contour was getting clearer and clearer. He wanted to not listen but couldn't find any reason to refute.
"The emperor has no descendants, although it is rare, but it is not without. He adopted one from the neighboring vassal kings. However, after Emperor Wuzong returned to the capital, his body was unable to continue to see that he wanted to adopt a vassal child, but this news could not be heard from the palace. He did not make any noise inside and outside the palace, and watched Emperor Wuzong's successor, and Emperor Shizong entered the capital to inherit the throne..."
When talking about falling into the water, Feng Bao pointed it out and Wang Tong was shocked, but Feng Bao said the following words just a rough statement, a little vague, but Wang Tong's shock was even more shocked than just now.
In this era, there is no medical treatment or medicine. Sometimes colds are fatal. This is true, but the emperor will never lack medical treatment or medicine. It is just a disease caused by catching a cold. Why did he go back to Beijing to recuperate and treat diseases? He still weakened day by day until he died. Moreover, the emperor wanted to adopt a vassal child to inherit the throne, but the news could not be spread in the palace. Everyone was waiting for him to die. Seeing him die, how many hidden stories were there, how much bloody and darkness were there, I really didn't dare to think about it.
What really shocked Wang Tong was that they actually dared to do these things to the Emperor Ming Dynasty. How many aspects and people involved in it are now unknown, but it is terrifying to think about it.
"Later, Emperor Shizong came to Beijing and stopped outside the capital. He said that this entry into Beijing was to inherit the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, rather than the legal system of Emperor Wuzong. Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Tinghe, who were in charge of the day, had no choice but to agree to Emperor Shizong. Many people knew about the allusions in this. The teacher was instructed by Emperor Shizong when he was in Xingxian's palace. However, on the day Emperor Wuzong was buried, the teacher was also poisoned by someone..."
Listening to Feng Bao telling all the allusions in the palace, Wang Tong stood up from his seat and walked around the house. What he heard was different from what Feng Bao said, but what Feng Bao said seemed to be closer to the truth. After the chaos of the Sanyang Sect in the capital, Wang Tong also had his own understanding of the bloody struggle in the Dawei. At this time, all the monarch and ministers, brotherhood, and even mother-son family affection would not count.
"It's ridiculous that Yang Tinghe, when Emperor Wuzong resented his inner officials and the Jinyiwei to the core. Emperor Wuzong passed away, he immediately convicted him of Kaige. Originally, many of these people were helping him. When the ceremony was held, the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei stood on the side of Emperor Shizong, waiting for revenge, and drove all of these people out of the capital at once."
"Eunuch Feng, what's the point of saying this?!? Do you compare Emperor Wuzong with a sage emperor like His Majesty?"
Wang Tong stopped, "He stared at Feng Bao with his eyes and shouted in a deep voice. Feng Bao was the eunuch in charge of seals for ten years, and he was in power all over the world. Naturally, he would not be suppressed by Wang Tong's aura, but he just smiled and said:
"We are here to tell the story of the previous dynasty. Don't think of Master Long Sui, Wang Tong, this is very disrespectful!"
I really didn't expect that Feng Bao, who was so majestic and powerful, would have such a relaxed moment. Wang Tong didn't know what to do for a while, and was a little amused and crying.
Feng Bao smiled and raised his hand, and said with his fingers:
"After the ascension of the throne, there were several things that were quite different from the previous dynasties. The first was to build a Huwei Wu Pavilion outside the palace, select the children of the generals and martial families to attend school, practice and study together. The second was to set up a public security department in the capital, investigate and collect taxes. The third is to open the sea in Tianjin, and set up a checkpoint on the canal to collect lijin. The fourth was to get close to the military officers. The Jinyiwei commanded the Tongzhi Wang Tong to the favor of the Emperor Wansui, and was very favored. The fifth was to train a new army and set up a Huwei Army in Tianjin, which was led by Wang Tong, and was strong and intimidating the four sides.
Wang Tong's face became gloomy, and Feng Bao opened his bent fingers one by one and said: Jinyi Dian Guobao Bar is mighty.
"The leopard room is located outside the palace, Emperor Wuzong was having fun there, but some people say that he was practicing with the officers and soldiers there, what is the difference between this and the Huweiwu Hall? The second is that the Public Security Department investigates all places. I heard that the Palace, the East Factory and the Jinyiwei were also among the stingers. During the Emperor Wuzong, Liu Jin built an expert factory to monitor the East Factory, the West Factory, the Jinyiwei and the various places. The Public Security Department also had an extra activity to collect money than this. The third is that Tianjin Weixing Hai Trade, and the canal set up a card to collect lijin.
, I don’t know how much money the Southeast wealthy and scholars will harm. What is the difference between this and the Xinghai Trade and Officials’ Tax Payment during Emperor Wuzong’s Emperor? The fourth is that Emperor Wuzong’s confidant Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, and the emperor is even more confidant than King Lu. The fifth is that the Huwei Army is established to train strong soldiers. This is the difference between this and the Emperor Wuzong’s reunion, Jiang Bin collects military generals and border troops in the capital to train a strong soldier. Look at what we said, can we match what we are talking about?
Wang Tong stared at Feng Bao, Feng Bao smiled and picked up the tea beside him and took a sip. Wang Tong was silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice:
"But what Your Majesty and Wang did was for the country and country of the Ming Dynasty. These things were not for the country and the country's prosperity. How much money did they add to the treasury? If there was no Public Security Department, the chaos of the Sanyang Sect in the Palace would probably overthrow the country. If there was no Huwei Army, how could there be two brilliant victory outside the Great Wall? If there were no Xinghai Trade in Tianjin, a card was set up to collect lijin, and what would be given to the palace for 125 taels of gold and flowers in the palace every year? It was said that Wang Tong was a treacherous minister. "I worked hard every year and took over official duties. "The government and the public attacked me a lot, but did anyone say I was greedy, and did anyone say I was licentious? This comparison is too ridiculous!!"
In the end, Wang Tong's voice had risen. It was difficult to understand that doing this career was not for the country and country of the Ming Dynasty, nor for Emperor Wanli. Feng Bao was actually compared with Emperor Zhengde's people at that time. Wang Tong couldn't help but be angry. This anger was compared by this, and secondly, it was because of some fear. Many things were changing unknowingly. "Does this work by yourself also make Emperor Wanli and himself enter the fate of Emperor Zhengde and his subordinates?
"Long live in the palace is boring. He has been careful for five years, and now he is proud. He has only four or five concubines who have been lucky enough to be there. He is also ordinary in terms of food, clothing and consumption. He likes the people's things. What's the extravagant expense?"
Feng Bao said a few words to himself, then shook his head and said:
