If Zhu Yijun knew what his mother was thinking, he would definitely be happy. This was the sequelae of digging a hole for himself.
Feng Bao left dejectedly. When he returned to his room, he drank a cup of tea fiercely and then smashed the teacup on the ground. The expression on his face was very ferocious.
This was not the first time he had been cheated. If a tiger did not show its might, it would really treat him as a sick cat.
"San De Zi, have you found out?" Feng Bao looked at the little eunuch who came in from outside and asked with a gloomy face.
Since he was given a name by Zhu Yijun, San De Zi's status had risen sharply and he had become the confidant of Feng Bao's many godson.
"Godfather, I have found out."
San De Zi hurriedly said. He did not want to anger his godfather. If he angered his godfather at this time, it would not end well.
Not daring to hesitate, San De Zi hurriedly told him what he had heard.
"Godfather, it was the emperor who went to find Lady Li and told her about this matter."
"The emperor?"
Feng Bao was stunned, and then he became even more angry. He finally understood why Lady Li believed that he was lying. It turned out that the emperor had gone to find her.
Last time, it was also through the emperor's mouth. This person was really sinister.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Feng Bao said with a gloomy face, "Tell me, what is going on?"
"Godfather, it's like this. The emperor went to the Palace of Benevolent Peace and said, said, said, said that he accidentally heard the conversation between Lord Zhang and godfather."
San De Zi looked at Feng Bao and said carefully, "The content of the conversation was about the double titles."
"He also said that at that time, it was Lord Zhang who proposed it, and godfather happily agreed."
Although San De Zi's words were very vague, how could Feng Bao not understand? He must be praising him and Zhang Juzheng.
Speaking of this matter through the emperor's mouth was equivalent to digging a hole in advance, and then he bumped into it.
The result was naturally that he was badly bruised. The more he praised himself for his great contribution, the more he looked like a clown.
This time, he had lost a lot of face!
"Do you know who gave His Majesty the idea?" Feng Bao's expression became even more unsightly. "Where did the news leak out?"
Feng Bao was sure that the news must have been leaked. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have dug a trap for him.
The first person that came to Feng Bao's mind was Xu Jue. Could it be that Xu Jue was incompetent and had a big mouth that gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of?
Or did Zhang Juzheng leak the news?
No matter who it was, this person had to be found.
Feng Bao could be said to be frightened out of his wits. The other party's schemes were as smooth as a willow's horn, and there was not a single trace of them in advance.
He was certain that he would take all the credit. This person obviously knew him very well.
How could Feng Bao not be afraid? But who was this person?
"Godfather, I didn't find out!"
San De Zi said in a low voice. When he saw Feng Bao's fierce eyes turn to look at him, San De Zi hurriedly said, "But I suspect that it was Zhang Cheng Eunuch Chang."
"Godfather, think about it. It's impossible for His Majesty to know about this. Someone must have told him. His Majesty has been in the academy these days. Why did he suddenly come back today?
Who passed the news? Who instigated the emperor? "
"These days, there was only one Zhang Cheng Eunuch Chang accompanying him in the academy!"
After listening to San De Zi's analysis, Feng Bao nodded. He also thought so. Zhang Cheng actually dared to plot against him.
After knowing who it was, Feng Bao was not so angry. Glancing at San De Zi, Feng Bao waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late. You should also go and rest!" After saying that, he stood up and went to rest.
This time, Feng Bao decided to take the loss. Now, there was no hope for him to turn the situation around.
The most brilliant thing about the other party was that they used the emperor and said it through the emperor's mouth.
Should I run to complain and say that the emperor lied and that I didn't meet Zhang Juzheng or say these things?
Feng Bao would not do such a stupid thing. If he really did, his end would definitely be worse than this.
So what if he proved it?
If he proved that the emperor lied, could he make the emperor admit his mistake?
If he really did that, he would really offend the emperor.
Now that he had a good relationship with the emperor, it was not worth it to offend the emperor for this matter.
Thinking of this, Feng Bao suddenly felt a lingering fear in his heart, and then he felt lucky.
If he didn't admit it or refuted it, it would be a big deal. Maybe the other party wanted him to do that.
Thinking of this, Feng Bao had to praise himself for being quick-witted. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
Although he was reprimanded by Concubine Li, this was the best way.
After swearing to take revenge, Feng Bao went to sleep, but he didn't sleep that night.
The next morning, Feng Bao got up very early. As soon as the palace gate opened, Feng Bao asked someone to find Xu Jue.
No matter where the news came from, he must find it. Otherwise, who could stand it if the news was always leaked?
Seeing Feng Bao, Xu Jue looked nervous because Feng Bao's face was black, which didn't look like a happy person.
"Let me ask you, after you saw You Chi yesterday, did you see anyone else?
Did you leak the news to anyone else? "
After asking this, Feng Bao stared at Xu Jue with a burning gaze. He wanted to see something from Xu Jue.
As soon as Xu Jue heard this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed while saying, "Godfather, please understand!
I have always done my best to do things for you. How could I do such a thing? "
"After I got the news, I didn't dare to stay at all and directly sent it to the palace."
"As for telling the news to others, I am not someone who doesn't know the gravity of the matter. This matter is very important, how could I dare to tell others?
If I did it, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. Godfather, please understand! "
Looking at Xu Jue's appearance, although Feng Bao still had some doubts, he believed most of it.
After all, Xu Jue had followed him for many years and had always been his confidant. He had no reason to betray him.
With his current status, what good would it do Xu Jue to betray him? Could it be that there was someone who could offer a higher price than him?
"Go out of the palace and see You Chi!" Feng Bao looked at Xu Jue and said, "Tell You Chi that the news has been leaked."
Although he didn't know who leaked the news, Feng Bao was sure that if Zhang Juzheng knew about it, he would definitely find someone to investigate it.
Maybe Zhang Juzheng could ask the emperor. Unlike him, Zhang Juzheng was the emperor's teacher.
Xu Jue nodded repeatedly. "Godfather, don't worry. I will go now!"
"Wait a minute!"
After thinking for a while, Feng Bao stopped Xu Jue. This time, he had taken the credit of Zhang Juzheng, so he had to explain it. "I will write a letter. Give it to You Chi and ask him to take it to Minister Zhang."
