.Chapter 879: The victory or defeat of the major coup (Part 1)

During the six years of Emperor Longqing's reign, especially in the few years after Gao Gong served as the chief minister, the prosperity of the capital rose sharply like a rocket. Because eunuchs opened, monopolized sales, and forced sales, hundreds of royal shops were closed; the dense taxes were swept away from the capital, and the heavy taxes on the shoulders of the people were exempted... In short, the officials and eunuchs were forced to rule, and the people were finally able to make some money safely and live a life.

It has to be admitted that the Chinese in this era are still the best and best-in-life group in the world. As long as there is no such perverted exploitation and oppression, they can reopen the closed shop in a very short time, accumulate the disappearing wealth again, and double the prosperity of the past.

According to the elderly, Beijing is the most lively and prosperous time in sixty or seventy years. The city sounds are rising in the streets. On the bustling streets, people wearing bright clothes are swaying across the city, with a wide range of goods from all over the country and even overseas, and various cars and sedans have caused serious traffic jams.

When night falls, the capital city does not calm down, but becomes even more colorful and lively, because the night market has begun. Although it is still in the national mourning, the joy of the new emperor ascends to the top has dispelled the sorrow of the death of the late emperor. The citizens of Beijing who have been holding back for almost a month can finally come out to have fun with joy by celebrating the new emperor's ascension to the throne. All the restaurants and restaurants in prosperous areas are full of people, and the streets are bustling. The shops light up colorful lights to attract customers, and the artists are vigorously showing their juggling and singing music; all kinds of snacks from north and south are fragrant... Citizens who work hard during the day go out to play with their families, and even the children of wealthy families can't help but leave the car and sedan chair, shuttle through the crowd, and enjoy the lively atmosphere full of life.

The most conspicuous ones at this time are those singing halls, dance halls, and restaurants. Today, China's cities have long broken through the boundaries of neighborhoods. Wherever there are many people, there will be large restaurants and restaurants. In the more prosperous places, there will be theaters and musical buildings. At night, these places will be lighted up with their own unique rays of lights, singing girls and dancers, and actors performing their skills. The pleasant sound of silk and bamboo and the slutty sounds make people passing by stop and appreciate them carefully. Some enthusiasts will happily take out their bags and come in to support them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Dengshikou Street, there is a big theater called "Liyuanchun". What is being performed at this moment is the classic opera "Futao"... It is said that northerners like to watch emperors, generals, and southerners like to watch talented men and beautiful women, which is not false at all. They are also set against the background of the Longqing Dynasty's recovery of Hetao. The northerners never tire of watching it is this "Futao" that fights and kills; in the south, the popular ones praise a love between the ages... "Three Lady".

At this time, Li Chengliang was performing on the stage alone across the Yellow River. With the accompaniment of gongs and drums, Li Chengliang, who had a big blue face, was showing his power with a flower gun. He dressed as a cavalry supporter, and then he 'killed' them all and then retreated to the backstage.

The backstage was busy, with everyone putting on makeup, the supporting staff waiting, and the workers were carrying props in and out. Because today, there were three opera troupes performing on stage, and each was in the backstage, so strange faces came in and out, and everyone was used to it, and the water in the well was not overwhelming.

In the most inconspicuous corner, the troupe was the last to appear. Because it was still early, most of the members were resting. They sat or lay on the box and were on the table, which seemed very quiet, but occasionally a few running servants rushed in and out.

Then he saw a servant carrying two bowls of hot noodles, borrowing them all the way from outside and entering the innermost single room of the opera troupe. Then he put the noodles down, wiped his hands casually, and whispered to the opera troupe accountant who closed his eyes and rested: "Xu Jue arrived at Youqi's house, and Lu Guang went to see Gao Gong."

The accountant with long beards nodded, but his eyes were not opened.

"Do we do it?" A man with a vague face next to him whispered: "Actually, he should do it before he entered. Even if he was just a copy, it would be enough for Feng Bao to drink a pot." The ancestors' rules that before the Tongzhengsi issued the memorials of all officials must not be revealed to the public. If evidence can be found from Xu Jue, Feng Bao would definitely be unable to take it.

The accountant opened his eyes and turned out to be Yu Yin who had sneaked back to the capital. He looked at the subordinate strangely: "Are you Gao Gong's man?"

"Of course not." The man shook his head quickly.

"Then why are you anxious?" Yu Yinliáo's fake beard, picked up a big bowl and said, "Eat your noodles, Shaodan is worried."

"After eating this bowl of noodles, the daylily became cold." The man said depressedly: "Are we really here to perform?"

"Why can't you keep your anger so hard?" Yu Yin frowned and said, "When a mother comes out, your brother is much more calm than you."

"..." The man's self-esteem seemed to be hit. He picked up the bowl without saying a word, and ate the noodles with a slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight

"Look at them, 'We'll come on stage after we sing," Is itchy?" Yu Yin was a little helpless and could only explain to the man slowly: "But look at those Shanxi guys, don't you do anything? You have chips in your hands at this time, but you don't have to rush to end. How happy it is. Our task is to monitor and prepare. Once the situation is out of control, we will intervene immediately. Now everything is moving in the direction of hope. Wouldn't it cause trouble to intervene?"

"I'm afraid that at that time, I won't even have a chance to play cards, so I'll let you make a final decision!" Although the man was angry, it didn't affect the food. After eating a bowl of noodles, he said with a slight hint of his mouth: "It's not me that my uncle is too careful this time, I'm afraid he will miscalculate."

"It's not your turn to talk too much about your decision. We just need to do what we have to do!" Yu Yin said unhappily.

"Oh..." The man just took his trick and asked as if nothing happened the next moment, "Where is Lu Guang, don't you catch me?"

"No," Yu Yin said calmly: "This is an abandoned child. It's useless to eat it, but he will do it himself."

"Just watching Gao Hu Zi get cheated by them?" The man said a little frustrated: "Although I don't like him either, when I think of those guys who are tricking, I'm so angry."

"Since you want to fight to the decisive battle, you have to be careful of everything." Yu Yin said ruthlessly: "He was caught in a careless way, and we have no obligation to wipe his butt."

"You and my uncle are so calm." The man was Lu Lun. He had been tempered for a long time, but he was completely defeated in front of Yu Yin, who was calmly like an iceberg: "Then keep waiting..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Xu Jue returned to Silijian with a sweat, it was already the hour. Feng Bao was naturally waiting there. When he saw him coming back, he bounced off his seat, grabbed his hand and asked, "How is it, what does Mr. Zhang say?"

Xu Jue's mouth was dry and he didn't even bother to take a sip of water. He briefly recounted Zhang Juzheng's meaning. Feng Bao heard this and felt a little calm. He also discussed with Xu Jue what to look for and what to do. When he repeatedly considered, he could not find any loopholes. It was already early morning. There was no time to wait for dawn, so Feng Bao ordered Wu En to secretly find several important eunuchs... and Empress Li's personal female official.

The impeachment of Feng Bao had spread rapidly in the palace, but it was just a secret from the Qing Dynasty. The reason why the eunuchs were willing to help him cover him instead of taking advantage of the situation was because Feng Bao was usually generous and was the leader. But more of it was because of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox... The tall beard had too much murderous aura. In his eyes, the eunuchs in the inner court should be killed. If Feng Bao was gone, everyone's life would be even more sad.

Feng Bao looked red and showed the memorials to several people. After they finished reading them, he smiled sadly and said, "What do you think?"

"It's too much to deceive others. The tall bearded man is going to kill him!" Qiu Yong, the eunuch in charge of the Inner Supervision Commission, said angrily. Everyone nodded, saying that they were all thinking about it.

"Gao Gong is the natural enemy of our officials..." Wu En promptly aroused everyone's unbearable memories: "Since he came to power, our life is Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and it's worse than that of one year." Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Those imperial shops and taxes are all the money trees of eunuchs in the palace. Gao Gong was wiped out without mercy. How can these eunuch leaders not hate them?

After successfully arousing the class hatred of everyone, Feng Bao sighed: "The day before yesterday, Gao Gongqiang seized the authority of the Silijian. If we don't unite and defend our own power, we will be cut and cut by him, and the bones will be gone." As he said that, he knelt down to everyone.

The eunuchs couldn't let the boss kneel down, so they knelt down to each other quickly.

"If you don't help, I, Feng Bao, will be the first to be the one who is tall and bearded." Feng Bao signaled everyone to rest assured and said, "I won't say much about the reason why the cold teeth of the chun are dead. I will only ask one question, are you planning to remain silent, watch me die, or to fight against foreign humiliation with me?"

"..." The eunuchs looked at each other, and under Gao Gong's fierce and powerful pressure, they all felt a bone-broken fear. At this time, the eunuch Sili was no longer a throne that everyone wanted to sit on, but a crater that would erupt at any time. If Gao Gong didn't go for a day, no one wanted to be the first bird, so before Gao Gong got out, it would be better to let Feng Bao continue to hold the thunder.

After understanding the cause and effect, everyone finally responded positively: "This is not just a crisis for you, Eunuch Feng, but a crisis for all of us. If we are not united at this time, we will be really thrown into the eighteenth level of hell!"

"Thank you all..." Feng Bao felt tears flowing in his eyes and kowtowed to everyone.

Everyone quickly gave him three more, and then they helped each other stand up, and made a bloody alliance, swearing that they would never betray him, and that those who violated the situation would still be eunuchs in the next life...

Everyone dripped blood into the bowl. Feng Bao looked at the female official who had been standing beside him and said, "Miss Ling'er..."

"It's okay to let me join," the female official looked soft and smooth, but those who could come out of thousands of palace maids were all strong women. Then she heard her say quietly: "But I have the final say in the future, the procurement of the Clothing and Hat Bureau and the Knitting Bureau."

"The Clothes and Hats Bureau is the wealth of the Queen Li family, and I can't make the decision." Isn't this taking advantage of the situation to rob? But the role of this woman is too important. Not only tomorrow, but also needs her help in the future. Feng Bao had to grit his teeth and said, "The Knitting Bureau actually has a master, but I can give it to you."

"Trade!" The female official was asking for a lot of money, just waiting for him to pay it back.

Everyone unified the front line, and Feng Bao explained to them what tomorrow's arrangements...who should do what and who should say anything in detail. When everyone remembered it and dispersed, it was already the fourth day.

Wu En asked Feng Bao if he wanted to stare for a while. Feng Bao shook his head and said powerlessly: "No, change my clothes and wait."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as the fifth day arrived, he took the stack of memorials and his seal and sat in the sedan chair to the Qianqing Palace. Feng Bao was in a very heavy mood along the way. Today, July 30, the sixth year of Longqing, is destined to be the darkest day of his life. Whether it is dawn or endless darkness after the darkness depends on today's performance!

Thinking of this, he barely cheered up and went to Qianqing Palace with his usual expression. He first greeted the Empress Dowager, then served the emperor to have dinner, sent him to Wenhua Palace, and even listened quietly to a class. At around Chen hour, he saw Wu En at the door and quietly withdrew.

"Give it." Wu En delivered a memorial to Feng Bao's sleeve. Feng Bao nodded, then got into the sedan chair and went to the Qianqing Palace. In the sedan chair, he opened the new memorial and looked at the newly arrived memorial. He was frightened and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What a person wants to live in death, these ministers are more cruel than each one." Then he opened the box and put the memorial in.

When he arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Li asked him to go in. When Feng Bao saw that Empress Chen was also there, he quickly knelt on the ground and greeted the two empresses. Concubine Li looked at the memorial box in his hand and said, "The Empress is rare to come once, don't cause trouble. If you have any trouble, just make an idea yourself."

"This, I really dare not be loyal to myself." Feng Bao said with a sad face: "Because the memorials here are all impeachments of Lao Nu..."
