"Chen Hong said that we can improve it and install earth dragons on the upper floor, but it will cost 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver. I thought it was too expensive, so I didn't agree." Emperor Longqing muttered in confusion: "Can't we improve it? Warm the cage and let it burn a little longer?"
Feng Baoxin said of course he could, but in this case, how could Chen Hong earn another renovation fee?
It¡¯s just that the rule in the palace has always been to see things through without telling them, especially between the big brothers. No matter how fierce they are in private, they can¡¯t tear each other down in front of the master, otherwise everyone will be at odds.
This is a bloody lesson.
Therefore, even though Feng Bao was at odds with Chen Hong, he could only change the conversation and said, "Master, do you want to comb your hair now?"
"There's no rush, let's wait until it gets warmer." Long Qing retracted his body into the bed, leaving only his head exposed.
"Yes." Feng Bao waved his hand and dismissed the waiter who was carrying a basin, face towel and other items.
Then he made a new bath, replacing the one under Long Qing's quilt that had already become cold.
With his feet on the hot Tang Pozi, Long Qing narrowed his eyes comfortably and asked him, "Has there been any progress on that matter?"
"I was about to report to the master," Feng Bao put down the work at hand, knelt in front of the bed and whispered: "Yesterday, the people from Shuntian Prefecture arrested another person from Yingtian Prefecture, but they didn't expect that the person's prestige was too high. , as a result, hundreds of officials went to the government office to ask for an explanation, and Cao Sanyang was so frightened that he quickly released him."
"Even my Shuntian governor is involved in this matter?" Long Qing took a breath and suddenly woke up.
"It's hard to tell now. The young people are only looking at the official Ni Dahong," Feng Bao shook his head and said cautiously: "But if the matter is so big, Cao Sanyang must have known about it. Let's see what he does."
"Yes." Long Qing nodded, and said with a sudden shock: "No matter what, we can't use someone from the southeast as the governor of Shuntian. I will replace it with someone from somewhere else at the beginning of the new year, otherwise I will not be able to sleep well."
"My master is wise, and only by being careful can he sail the ship of ten thousand years." Feng Bao praised lightly.
"If Cao Sanyang knew that he was a dignified third-rank official, because Zhao Hao made such a fuss when greeting people, Eunuch Feng said so in front of the emperor. Not only did he lose his position as the governor of Shuntian, but he was also relegated to another book by Emperor Longqing. I wonder if he regrets it. Why did he go so wastefully to arrest Zhao Shouzheng?
??~~
It became warm in the dormitory, and Emperor Longqing finally sat up and asked Feng Bao to help comb his hair while listening to his continued report.
"Then Ni Dahong met someone from the south again. Unfortunately, they were talking on a moving carriage and the children could not hear. But now it is certain that he is the person who was placed in the court from the south."
After a pause, Feng Bao asked for instructions in a deep voice: "Master, why not look for an opportunity to arrest him? He will definitely answer a lot of my questions."
"Don't scare the grass and scare the snake." Emperor Longqing said flatly: "Have you forgotten what Master Gao said before he left?"
"Gao Shaobao said that our enemies are everywhere, and we must not act rashly." Feng Bao said quickly and solemnly: "Otherwise, not only will it scare the snake, but the old incident of Renyin may even happen again"
"Yes." Long Qing nodded and said solemnly: "My father also told me before he died. For the sake of the sea, he fought with the people in the southeast for twenty years, but there was no winner, and he almost lost his life. They were all left in the hands of those people. My father was extremely wise and good at using power, but in the end he had no choice but to compromise. I am no match for others, and I am indecisive. I cannot defeat them on my own."
Feng Bao¡¯s lips twitched. Your Majesty spoke so frankly that he couldn¡¯t even flatter him.
¡°He can neither say, Your Majesty is too humble, I think you are good, you can fight with them; nor can he say, Your Majesty is so right, you are just a loser Then aren¡¯t you looking for death?
He could only silently tie the emperor's hair into a bun and insert the jade hairpin. Then listen to Long Qing talking to himself:
"I am self-aware, and I can only rely on Master Gao for this matter. It is a pity that he was attacked by those people just after he proposed to impose a sea ban, and he had to resign sadly."
"Fortunately, before Gao Shaobao left, he still opened the gap in Yuegang. Now, those people in Fujian will no longer be united with the maritime merchants in Zhejiang and Guangdong, right?" Feng Bao said in admiration: "Fujian happens to be here Between Zhejiang and Guangdong, how come they are still connected and colluding?"
"Yes, Master Gao made this move really well." Long Qing couldn't hold back his admiration, stood up, and said with a proud smile: "You are indeed my Master Gao! If anyone To win this battle and complete Zhu Wan's unfinished business for the imperial court, it must be him!"
"Your Majesty, when will Gao Shaobao be invited back?" Feng Bao asked hurriedly and respectfully.
 "Uh" Long Qing said for a while, "I'm afraid we have to wait a little longer."
"Yes." Feng Bao nodded. He just wanted to invite Gao Gong back, but he had to see whether Mr. Xu Ge would agree first.
And Mr. Xu Ge definitely disagrees
"You must protect my Master Gao and never let him make any mistakes!" This was Long Qing's repeated emphasis to Feng Bao for an unknown number of times.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. There are people from Dongchang both inside and outside Gaojiazhuang. No one wants to touch a hair of Gao Shaobao." Feng Bao hurriedly promised for the first time.
"Well, let's make step-by-step preparations according to the strategies he left behind. Everything will start when the old man comes back." Emperor Longqing looked at the relatively young face in the mirror and said confidently:
¡°Fortunately, I am still young and I will definitely be able to wait until the day I succeed!¡±
"This slave also firmly believes this, and is willing to be shattered to pieces for his master's plan." Feng Bao hurriedly knelt down to express his stance. This was a good opportunity to increase intimacy and trust. How could the shrewd Eunuch Feng miss it?
"You're not bad." Long Qing showed a gratified smile as expected, patted his shoulder and said, "I thought you could only take care of children, but I didn't expect that you are also good at this job."
"I am a foolish slave, and I am afraid that I will betray His Majesty's great trust, so I can only do my best." Feng Bao quickly sang a high-pitched tune, but his eyes fell on the dragon bed, the "The Legend of Ruyijun" that Emperor Longqing had just read.
Feng Bao has always aimed at being the Chief of Ceremonies. He has studied hard and read extensively for many years. Otherwise, he would not have served as the enlightenment teacher for the emperor's eldest grandson while he was in the dormitory.
He naturally knows what kind of book it is
Seeing what he was looking at, the emperor covered the book with a quilt with a slight embarrassment and said: "This is a gift from Meng Chong. I am bored to read it and criticize it."
"Your Majesty only criticizes, this servant didn't see anything." Feng Bao couldn't help but sigh to himself, after all, he couldn't be as outspoken and daring to give advice as senior Li Fang.
"The most we can do is not follow the likes of Teng Xiang, Chen Hong, and Meng Chong, and compete to cater to His Majesty with the things in the house."
"Don't tell the imperial concubine." The emperor warned again.
"That's natural. I will never reveal anything about Your Majesty." Feng Bao quickly expressed his stance.
"Yes." Long Qing was finally relieved. He pointed at the serious-looking Feng Bao and said with a smile, "You, you, are just too serious. You are as clean as a scholar, making it difficult for people to get close to you."
"I will definitely change this slave." Feng Bao quickly smiled flatteringly.
"Uh" Looking at his twisted smile, Long Qing waved his hands and said, "Stop laughing, it's too ugly."
"Yes." Feng Bao returned to his original expression aggrievedly. He didn't mean to keep a straight face, but his parents had no choice but to act like this, and everyone owed him eight hundred dollars.
