Feng Bao seemed to have expected this and stepped forward to greet him.

The officials turned around in shock.

The person who came was none other than Cao Xianyu, the eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies. He had two decrees in his hand, but did not read them out.

Instead, he looked at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei was stared at, and his body trembled subconsciously.

Cao Xianyu smiled gently and said: "Zhang Yushi, Empress Dowager Li has an oral message for you."

The words were quite polite, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that Zhang Wei was going to be in trouble.

After Zhang Wei calmed down, he bowed openly and said: "I respectfully listen."

Cao Xianyu suppressed his smile, pinched his throat and said: "Guangxi Taoist Censor Zhang Chui! I was just passing outside the Zhongji Hall when I heard you roaring in front of me, what on earth do you want!?"

After saying this, Cao Xianyu raised his eyes and said to the officials: "When the emperor first came to the throne, someone bullied me, an orphan and a widowed mother, and asked the ceremonial officer whether he was blind?"

"Zhang Chui, the imperial censor of Guangxi Province, behaved inappropriately in front of the palace and disturbed the young emperor. He was immediately sent home to reflect on his fault and was fined one month in copper."

After saying this, he bowed in the direction of Cining Palace to indicate that he had finished speaking.

After reciting this orally, the palace fell into an eerie silence for no apparent reason.

Zhang Weiben was mentally prepared for this. He was just throwing stones to ask for directions and was just a pawn.

Yuan Fu and Tai Jian will definitely not protect him now.

You can only resist it by yourself, and you will be rewarded in the future.

However, even though he knew that this was a petition to be surrendered, Zhang Wei still couldn't help but sweat break out on his forehead.

After all, she was facing the wrath of a Queen Mother Bingzheng.

"Let's go, Zhang Yushi."

A voice woke Zhang Wei up, and he looked up to see Feng Bao's kind expression.

Feng Bao saw that Zhang Wei had not made any move, so he was not in a hurry to urge him. Instead, he asked, "Could it be that Zhang Yushi still wants to protest?"

He turned back to look at the ceremonial officer, then looked at Gao Gong: "Everyone, don't you think that Zhang Yushi's behavior just now was not out of order in front of the palace, right?"

Even if they want to return to the protection, no one will dare to openly call a deer a horse, otherwise they will be sidetracked by Qingjun.

Seeing that Gao Gong was silent, Feng Bao told Ge Shouli to look away, and then he smiled.

As Cao Xianyu nodded, someone asked Zhang Wei to stand up on the left and right.

Zhang Wei snorted coldly: "I will leave on my own!"

…

Zhang Wei was driven home - he was twisted and sent out of the Meridian Gate by Jin Wuwei.

Of course this is not a big punishment.

After all, the dynasty has always had a tradition of opening up avenues of expression, and it is not a crime to speak to officials.

Not to mention that now that Gao Gong is so powerful, Empress Dowager Li really can't find any excuse for disobeying the court, so she lightly punished a censor severely.

As for how to retaliate later, it depends on each person's methods.

The treatment of Zhang Wei was a verbal order, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was just a matter of swatting mosquitoes to add to their heads.

The other two clear edicts are the highlight.

Cao Xianyu launched an edict and read: "Since Meng Chong, the former Chief of Ceremonies, has passed away, Feng Bao has been serving for a long time and has been loyal and responsible for the temporary replacement. Soon, the power will be transferred to the real, and the cabinet will be known to all ministries."

All the officials listened respectfully to the eunuch's reading of the decree, and glanced at Feng Bao from time to time.

Don’t all the officials know how Meng Chong died?

Now that the uncooked rice has been cooked, the cabinet will go through the formalities.

If you shoot an arrow first and then draw a target, you don't have to worry about your face.

Zhu Yijun also looked at Feng Bao quietly across Mianqi.

This eldest companion was still experienced and meticulous in his work. After receiving the news that Gao Gong was looking for trouble, he immediately knew that he would ask Empress Dowager Li in advance to make up for his shortcomings.

A decree directly improved the process of appointing the Chief of Ceremonies and corrected the position.

But what he was more concerned about was that Feng Bao's understanding and influence on Queen Mother Li should not be underestimated.

He actually issued the decree directly at the court meeting where he was enthroned, without even waiting for the next day.

Zhang Wei, a mere pawn, was slapped home by Empress Dowager Li as soon as he raised his head.

How deep is Empress Dowager Li's trust in Feng Bao!?

"Yuanfu, please accept the order." The eunuch urged.

Gao Gong did not express his position, and for a while no one dared to accept the order.

His disciple, Li Kezuo, was the one who was involved in the Song Dynasty. He looked at Gao Gong frequently. He dared to charge into the battle with just a look from his master.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Gao Gong.

Zhu Yijun is no exception.

Gao Gong's eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to have realized what he was doing, and said, "I'll wait for the order."

Feng Bao secretly said it was a pity.

Anyway, he sat down, and Gao Gong didn't accept the order and Meng Chong couldn't be resurrected.

Even more, I am happy to see Gao Gong continue to have a stalemate with Empress Dowager Li, resisting and disrespecting the emperor's decree.

When Cao Xian saw that this decree was sent out, he launched another one.

It sang: "The new emperor has ascended the throne. I am an orphan and a widowed mother. I am not familiar with the officials. According to the old practice, all officials will report their gains and losses in office. I will understand it with the emperor."

He finished reading it in one go.

All the officials immediately looked shocked and couldn't help but whisper to each other.

This is not a nice thing to say!

The so-called self-reporting of gains and losses is of course not meant literally, it is as simple as summarizing work to the emperor.

It’s a euphemism for asking for a job!

This has always been the case in the dynasty. When a new emperor ascends the throne, all officials have to take up their own positions. Whether they stay or not is all at the emperor's whim.

It is equivalent to giving New Emperor a step to reorganize its leadership team.

However, the established rule is the established rule. As long as the emperor and the courtiers have a tacit understanding, it would be too impatient to urge them now.

This is a naked attack on hundreds of officials!

Combined with the first edict, it is clearly saying - If you have the guts to embarrass Feng Bao, then don't blame me for making the memorial about self-invitation to the official official accurate.

All the officials couldn't help but look at each other.

Having said that, this edict must still be accepted. There is no need to resist such an edict without actual orders.

In the matter, I received two decrees from Cao Xianyu without any extra words.

Cao Xianyu bowed and retreated, as if he had never been there.

Only the eerie atmosphere in the palace reminded Baiguan of the scene that had just happened.

…

Matters in the palace soon became fermented.

Gao Gong and Feng Bao each began a blatant struggle.

First, Taiwan remonstrated, but in just two days, several censors impeached Feng Bao.

In particular, it refers to Feng Bao's actions before the emperor ascended the throne.

First of all, Zhang Wei took the lead and said, "I haven't heard of the order to remove someone and use someone. Once the order is passed, it will all come from Feng Bao, and the ministers are shocked to see each other." He pointed out that before Meng Chong's death, Feng Bao illegally took office.

Immediately, the imperial censor followed up and said that Feng Bao "acted against his father's influence, monopolized power and disrupted the government, bullied the emperor and despised the law, was lawless, was a great betrayal of the divine grace, and was a great influence on the ancestral system."

An illegal artifact was used to deceive the Lord, and Feng Bao was slapped hard on the face.

In the past, these memorials could not even pass the level of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but due to Zhang Chuo's behavior in front of the emperor, the news could not be suppressed at all.

Soon there was momentum in the court.

The memorial was kept silent, which accelerated the communication between the officials.

From a few people, it increased to more than ten people.

Immediately, they came up with an ancestral story, saying that in the tenth year of Emperor Hongwu of Emperor Gao of Taizu, a servant took advantage of his seniority and had served Emperor Gao for many years, and interfered in political affairs.

Then he quoted Taizu's Holy Edict: "Although the disasters in the Han and Tang Dynasties were caused by the eunuchs, they were also caused by the fault of trust and love of the masters... The eunuchs today, although they have been with me for a long time, cannot be tolerated, and they will be removed decisively, so they will be punished in the future."

.”

Even Taizu would not tolerate eunuchs interfering in politics. Now, do you, Li, and the emperor still want to violate the ancestral precepts?
