Zhang Juzheng only considered that Emperor Longqing trusted Gao Gong, so he was a little skeptical that Longqing would hide Gao Gong's illness, but as soon as Feng Bao explained this, he understood.

The emperor's trust in Gao Gong has indeed gone beyond the category of monarchs and ministers, perhaps deep in his heart, he really has a trace of his father's meaning towards Gao Gong, after all, he really has much affection for his biological father Emperor Sejong, who insists on "two dragons do not meet".

Of course, Zhang Juzheng has not studied any psychology, and he will not know anything about emotional transfer and role substitution, but nouns can change with the development of the times, but people's seven emotions and six desires will not change casually. Gao Gong, who is half a teacher and half friend of Longqing, is also in the process of sheltering King Yuwang for a long time, slowly touching Longqing, and even making him feel the care of his father to a certain extent.

However, a father's love has both care and demand, or expectation.

What Gao Gong wanted was to be a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, but he was looking forward to Longqing at the same time. He hoped that Longqing could also become a saint of the ages because of Zhongxing Daming.

But the holy monarch is not so easy to be, according to the requirements of the Confucian tradition for the holy monarch, although the emperor does not want to restrict women, but at least should not be delayed in women, if because of lust and even dragged down the body, even if it created a prosperous era like Emperor Tang Ming, in the eyes of Confucian gentlemen, in the end, can not escape a rebellion in Anshi, inevitably a change of Ma Wei.

Putting the blame on Yang Guifei is just a folk saying, who would be so naïve as a real Confucian minister? Confucianism talks about self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world, if you are lazy in women and indulge in pleasure, it is equivalent to not doing a good job in self-cultivation, what else is there to say in the back?

The reason why Confucianism always says that filial piety comes first is because filial piety is the minimum standard of a person's morality.

Therefore, it is understandable that Longqing did not dare to let his situation be known by Gao Gong.

Zhang Juzheng suddenly discovered that although Feng Bao was greedy for money and power, and vassal and elegant, he served people all the year round, and he really had a few brushes for grasping people's hearts.

Perhaps, in the absence of a better option, an alliance with him would be a good option?

Feng Bao had been carefully observing Zhang Juzheng's complexion, and at this time he had already seen Zhang Juzheng's heartbeat, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Taiyue can feel a lot more at ease now?" ”

Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses, but did not answer immediately, but suddenly said after a little thought: "After all, the emperor is in his prime, if he realizes the harm of indulging in pleasure after this illness, he will purify his heart and few desires, regulate yin and yang, and he will no longer be able to consolidate his roots and regain his spiritual ......."

"Hahahaha!" Feng Bao laughed.

Zhang Juzheng frowned, but did not speak, just looked at him quietly.

"Mr. Taiyue, I'm afraid that he will treat others with himself." Feng Bao stopped laughing, and said with blazing eyes: "Confucius said: 'A gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, his blood is undecided, and the precepts are in color; and its strength, the blood is strong, and the ring is fighting; and his old age, the flesh is declining, and the abstinence is in the gain'. Is this lustful indulgence from today? Premature aging of qi and blood. ”

Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed.

Feng Bao continued: "Later, when I became an adult, I fell into the dispute between the heirs and heirs, and An can quit 'fighting'? Later, the first emperor dragon piloted, and then ascended to the great treasure, its "gain" is so big, it is the world, so how can you quit "get"? ”

When Feng Bao said this, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and said in a categorical tone: "Gentleman's three precepts, the emperor can't do anything, Mr. thinks...... How long can it last? ”

In the end, it was a Confucian eunuch, although these words were a bit far-fetched, but Zhang Juzheng couldn't say that his words didn't make any sense, so he had to nod slightly to express his approval.

Feng Bao glanced at him and said, "Of course, there is a more critical and direct one-the dosage of Chinese medicine in the room has increased significantly. ”

The amount of Chinese medicine in the house has increased significantly, and there is no need to explain what it means.

A complicated look flashed in Zhang Juzheng's eyes, like worry, sadness, and heartstrings.

After a while, Zhang Juzheng slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty bears the weight of the world, so ...... Something is wrong. Ignorance...... Well, I don't know ...... Your Majesty" Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng seems to be quite difficult to speak.

Feng Bao didn't care, the corners of his eyebrows raised, and he asked bluntly: "Mr. Taiyue, I want to ask, how long does Your Majesty have left?" ”

"Ahem...... Ahem! Zhang Juzheng was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, so he had to pretend to cough to cover it up.

Feng Bao pursed his lips and waved his hand: "The Tai Hospital's arrangement from the East Factory, they don't dare to do anything else, but I'm the commander of the East Factory, and I asked them about the truth about the emperor's body and bones, and they still didn't dare to hide it from me-according to the Tai Doctors, if the emperor is still so obstinate, without the slightest restraint, then ......"

Although Zhang Juzheng tried his best to make a calm look, his eyes were still immediately attracted by Feng Bao, and his two ears were eager to stand up, for fear of missing a word.

"Three years for the long and ten months for the shortest." Feng Bao finally spoke.

Zhang Juzheng was shocked: "It's ten months? ”

Feng Bao nodded and affirmed again: "It's ten months in short." ”

Zhang Juzheng gasped: "The prince is young, if he is ......"

"Mr. Taiyue! What we should worry about now is not whether the prince is young or not. Feng Bao unceremoniously interrupted Zhang Juzheng's words, his face was pale, and he said coldly: "What we should be worried about now is that Gao Gong is the first assistant of the emperor's master, once the emperor is critically ill, he will definitely be the first to take care of his life!" After that, if the mountain collapses, then the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and the two palaces are women, and they must not rely on the high arch of the old ministers of the first emperor, and at that time...... You and me, life and death, honor and disgrace are in our hands! ”

Zhang Juzheng's face was pale, but he was quite calm, his eyes flickered, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Two palaces...... What is your impression of Gaoxin Zhengzhi? ”

Feng Bao shook his head: "On the queen's side, I don't know. As for the concubine's side...... She didn't see much of an attitude towards the high arch. ”

Zhang Juzheng's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but he waved his hand without wanting Feng Bao, shook his head and said: "I know what Mr. thinks in his heart, don't hide it from Mr. I've thought about it repeatedly." This path was originally the best way out - once the crown prince ascended the throne at a young age, the concubine would be the emperor's biological mother, and she would be respected as the queen mother along with the empress. The new monarch is young and difficult to manage in person, which will inevitably lead to a situation in which the outer court is in the hands of the high arch and the inner court is regent by the two palaces. I am the old concubine and the new monarch's companion, and it is only natural for me to be the master of ceremonies. ”

"It's a pity." Feng Bao shook his head: "Gao Gong must not allow me to be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor easily, otherwise the inner court is single-minded, how can he have room to go up and down?" He will find a way to destroy. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "What the Governor said is reasonable, but then it is ...... I expect that the high arch will not succeed. ”
