"Congratulations, Eunuch Feng."
Just after Gao Gong and others were assigned to work in Nanjing, Feng Bao immediately became the focus.
Feng Bao looked at so many people congratulating him and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Although he was not retained in the capital to serve as a secretarial eunuch in the Imperial Household Department, he was sent to Nanjing this time to serve as the seal holder of the Nanjing Imperial Household Department and the governor of Dongchang, which was also a unique honor.
You should know that the highest eunuch position previously set up by the court in Nanjing was nothing more than the eunuch guarding Nanjing.
Now Feng Bao was sent to Nanjing along with Gao Gong, Hai Rui and Yan Maoqing to serve as the seal holder of Nanjing Imperial Household Department and the commander-in-chief of East Factory, which also shows that Feng Bao will be very important.
Therefore, other eunuch leaders in Beijing, or other literati who were on good terms with Feng Bao, also congratulated Feng Bao.
"Thank you very much, thank you very much, this is all due to the prince's trust and the emperor's appreciation."
Feng Bao was also very humble, and attributed all the reasons for his promotion to Nanjing to Zhu Zaigui and Emperor Jiajing.
It seems that he was able to go to Nanjing not because of his own ability, but because of the appreciation and trust of Zhu Zaigui and Emperor Jiajing.
"Eunuch Feng, you are going to Nanjing to take up your post this time, and I don't have any good gifts to give you. My uncle in Nanjing has a scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zeduan of the Northern Song Dynasty. If you like it, I will write a letter and ask my uncle to give it to you as a daily plaything."
Although the current "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is also quite valuable, it is just an object of appreciation for scholars and cannot be considered a precious painting.
After hearing the voice of the person who sent the painting, Feng Bao also laughed, "A gentleman does not take away what others like. 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' is a rare and precious painting. Although Feng is crazy about literature, he will not take it for himself."
"How about this, Feng is not talented, if you don't mind, when Feng arrives in Nanjing, I would like to promote this painting, which can be regarded as a small token of my appreciation."
According to the records in the History of Ming Dynasty, Feng Bao was not a scheming eunuch who rose to power through conspiracy and trickery. He was also good at calligraphy, music theory, and playing the zither.
It can be regarded as a typical image of a scholar.
It can be said that if Feng Bao was not a eunuch, with his talent, he might have been known as a well-known talented person whether in the capital or in the Jiangnan region.
When the person who delivered the painting heard that Feng Bao was actually willing to make a contribution to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", his face suddenly became excited.
You should know that the reason why famous paintings and calligraphy are valuable and can be passed down from generation to generation is not only because the calligraphy is from the hands of famous people, but also the person who handles it is very important.
If there is a scroll of calligraphy and painting that is appreciated and promoted by people of all ages during the period of inheritance, then even if this painting is worthless at the time, in the long run, it will become a priceless treasure passed down from generation to generation because of its orderly inheritance.
Because, once a painting copybook has these embellishments, it is no longer just an ordinary painting copybook, but a rare work that records the history of time.
"Eunuch Feng is willing to promote this painting, which is also an honor for me and my uncle!"
The person who sent the painting bowed to Feng Bao excitedly, as if Feng Bao could really leave a mark on "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" after arriving in Nanjing.
Just as Feng Bao was accepting congratulations from everyone in the capital.
Inside the duty room of the Xiyuan Silijian, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Although Feng Bao did not stay in the capital to compete with Chen Hong, Feng Bao, who went to Nanjing, was actually appointed as the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department and the commander of the Eastern Depot.
Moreover, Emperor Jiajing also gave clear instructions to the people in the palace that Feng Bao's status would be the same as that of the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department in the capital, and no one was allowed to privately intercept or read any secret reports he made in Nanjing.
Just because of this, Chen Hong was depressed.
I originally thought that even if Feng Bao went to Nanjing and became that so-called seal-holder of the Nanjing Imperial Household Department and commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, he would be nothing more than a larger version of the eunuch guarding Nanjing.
If he wanted to submit a memorial to the palace from Nanjing, it would also have to be reviewed and examined by the Imperial Household Department.
But now, with just one word from Emperor Jiajing, Feng Bao had the power to bypass the supervision of the Sili Department and became a eunuch out of control. For Chen Hong, this was a big blow to his prestige.
So, at this time, Chen Hong was sulking in the duty room of the Imperial Household Department. His mood was so low that he didn't dare let anyone get close to him, as if he was afraid of getting into trouble by accident.
"Are you all blind? Can't you see my cup is empty?"
The more Chen Hong thought about it, the angrier he got. Just when he couldn't hold back his anger and wanted to pick up the cup beside him to drink some tea to calm his temper, the cup was empty.
This made Chen Hong unable to suppress his anger any longer, and he couldn't help but roar.
The young eunuchs serving in the Imperial Household Department were all frightened when they heard Chen Hong's anger.
They all knew that Chen Hong had a bad temper, unlike the previous ancestor Huang Jin.
Whenever Chen Hong was unhappy, he would beat people up at will. Sometimes, when he was really ruthless, he could even break people's bones.
Therefore, in the current Xiyuan, if these young eunuchs were to say who they feared the most, it would definitely not be Emperor Jiajing, but the ancestor Chen Hong in front of them!
A young eunuch in charge of adding tea heard Chen Hong's voice and was so frightened that his body trembled constantly. He knelt on the ground and said, "Forgive me, Grandfather. I didn't take good care of the tea. I will add more tea for you right away."
Chen Hong raised his hand, grabbed the empty teacup beside him, and smashed it towards the eunuch's head, "Get out! Get out!"
Chen Hong's blow made the little eunuch's head turn red on the spot, but at this moment he kept reaching out to wipe it from time to time.
After they all heard Chen Hong telling them to get out, the young eunuchs in the duty room crawled out of the duty room as if they had been pardoned.
Just when these young eunuchs escaped from the duty room, Li Fang, who had just delivered soup to Emperor Jiajing, came back.
Li Fang looked at these little eunuchs who looked like frightened birds, and also glanced in the direction of the duty room. He knew without guessing that it was Chen Hong who was angry in the duty room again.
Li Fang sighed inwardly. To be honest, he didn't understand what Chen Hong was thinking.
At the beginning, they were all at the same starting line and were clerical eunuchs from the same group of inner study rooms. They were all assigned to Prince Yu's Mansion to work for Prince Yu.
Later, by chance, he was promoted to the Imperial Household Department by Emperor Jiajing.
Unexpectedly, this separation would lead to such a huge difference between them who had the same fate.
After Huang Jin's ancestor made a mistake, Chen Hong took over Huang Jin's position as the seal of the Imperial Household Department and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot.
I thought that after this, Chen Hong would be able to contentedly control his temper and become a eunuch like his ancestor Huang Jin, who was willing to train subordinates and promote newcomers.
After all, we are all homeless. Everyone will grow old one day and fall out of favor one day, so if we make more good connections, our later years will not be too miserable and lonely.
However, no one expected that after Chen Hong became the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, he became even more domineering and arrogant, and Emperor Jiajing turned a blind eye and indulged him.
This made Li Fang a little worried. After all, he thought that he and Chen Hong had been friends for decades, and the two of them should have a relationship that was not family, but better than family.
But after Li Fang was promoted to the Imperial Household Department by Emperor Jiajing, he suddenly discovered that Chen Hong had changed a long time ago.
He always thought he was superior to others and that he was the eunuch who could be in charge.
He never took the other eunuchs in charge of writing in the Imperial Household Department seriously.
Therefore, after seeing such a scene, Li Fang could only sigh slightly and hope that Chen Hong could wake up soon.
Otherwise, if he made a mistake in the future or lost the favor of the emperor, his fate would be predictable.
You have to know that among this group of people, there are too many people who will never be able to make a name for themselves in their lives. These people have been slaves in and outside the palace for their entire lives, and it is inevitable that their psychology will be distorted.
Once you lose power and protection and fall into the hands of this group of people, your life will be worse than death.
Li Fang sighed and went into the duty room.
Before he could open his mouth to speak, Chen Hong, who was already angry, became furious again.
"Didn't I tell you to get out? How dare you come back? Do you believe that I will break all your dog legs?"
Li Fang was unmoved when he heard Chen Hong's angry words. Although he respected Chen Hong, it was also limited.
Li Fang walked towards her position in the duty room and asked, "Why is Eunuch Chen so angry again?"
When Chen Hong heard that the voice was actually Li Fang's, he turned around and looked over.
He looked at Li Fang and said, "You're back. Who's serving the Emperor?"
Li Fang said, "Today is the day when the Emperor and Doctor Li are giving a lecture. Doctor Li is accompanying the Emperor in the abode."
After hearing what Li Fang said, Chen Hong also said "oh" in a muffled voice.
He was very puzzled as to when Li Shizhen changed from a doctor to a Taoist priest. In recent months, he was often summoned by Emperor Jiajing alone to discuss Taoism in the Jingshe in the Western Garden. This really puzzled Chen Hong.
For this reason, Chen Hong had secretly eavesdropped several times, and what he heard was all about blood, the functions of the internal organs, and the trace elements contained in the human body.
These intermittent words made Chen Hong stunned.
For a moment he couldn't figure out whether Li Shizhen really had the stuff or was just making it up to Emperor Jiajing.
However, Chen Hong did not dare to investigate Li Shizhen. After all, Li Shizhen was the highly trusted president of the Academy of Medical Sciences, and he had countless famous doctors with the title of academician under him.
If anything goes wrong when investigating Li Shizhen, these academicians of the Academy of Medical Sciences will unite their dignitaries who have treated and diagnosed patients with them to teach Chen Hong a lesson, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, when it came to Li Shizhen's change of career to become a Taoist priest and discussing Taoism with Emperor Jiajing, Chen Hong could only say "oh" and accept it with a pinch of his nose.
After all, he had also heard about Li Shizhen's secrets in the Medical Academy. He knew that in order to study the so-called mysteries of the human body, Li Shizhen often cut open the stomachs of living people, pulled out their tendons and skinned them.
Originally, Chen Hong just laughed at these secrets and did not take them seriously. After all, when the East Factory he was in charge of sometimes had to interrogate some important imperial prisoners, he would also use some extremely cruel instruments to torture the prisoners.
But one time, when they were interrogating a pirate captured from the sea, the pirate's mouth was surprisingly stubborn. They used all the tortures they could think of, but they couldn't pry the pirate's mouth open.
If they use those torture instruments that are too harmful, the pirate will definitely die.
Therefore, the interrogation came to a stalemate.
Finally, I couldn't help but wonder which little cutie said that the academicians of the Academy of Medical Sciences could cut open a person's stomach and keep him alive. If they were asked to carry out the execution, they would surely teach this stubborn pirate even the little thing about peeping at his neighbors taking a bath when he was a child.
So, Chen Hong, with an attitude of giving it a try, actually sent someone to find an academician from the Academy of Medical Sciences.
This academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences is also one of Li Shizhen’s outstanding disciples trained in the Academy of Medical Sciences.
At the beginning, Chen Hong looked at this man's gentle appearance and thought he was just a show-off.
As a result, this guy shocked Chen Hong as soon as he made a move.
I saw that he was holding an extremely sharp knife in his hand and he cut along the pirate's belly. There was a sound like cutting cloth and brocade, and the pirate's belly was cut open.
Then the academician reached into the pirate's stomach and grabbed a section of intestine and cut it out with a knife.
Then he held it in front of the tightly bound pirate and said, "Now we are cutting out your appendix. If you don't confess, we will start cutting out your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys."
Although the stubborn pirate was fearless, he had never seen such a horrific punishment.
They actually cut open his belly while he was still alive and took out a piece of intestine.
This is simply terrifying enough to make one's souls scare away!
So, the pirate confessed all the problems he had encountered at sea like pouring beans.
Moreover, the problems he taught even involved Yan Shifan, who had already been dismissed from his post and investigated.
Chen Hong grasped the key points and quickly compiled the interrogation results and presented them to Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing saw that Yan Shifan actually sent a man named Luo Longwen to communicate with Japanese pirates on the sea with the intention of rebellion.
He was furious at the time and sent an imperial edict directly to Zhu Zaigui, asking him to investigate the case of Yan Shifan strictly and severely.
In this way, Yan Shifan, who had already been dismissed from office and exiled and was no longer in danger of his life, was suddenly put under the special attention of the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Censorate.
It took less than ten days to get Yan Shifan sentenced to immediate execution and his house was confiscated.
If Zhu Zaigui had not been kind-hearted and allowed Yan Song to retire to an estate near the capital, he would probably have starved to death in his hometown in Jiangxi.
After all, the crime his son committed was too serious.
