This article is interpreted from the TV series "Daming Dynasty 1566", which does not involve history and is pure entertainment. In this historical drama, the first episode of the opening chapter is about the death of Zhou Yunyi. Zhou Yunyi was Daming's official in charge of guarding the celestial signs, but he described the fact that the sky did not snow as the imperial court's excessive expenditure, and the heavens punished Daming.
After Jiajing learned of this, he immediately punished Zhou Yunyi. Jiajing ordered people to be responsible for fighting Zhou Yunyi's 20 court battles, and the person responsible for the execution was the eunuch Feng Bao. Which Feng Bao did not show mercy, let people beat Zhou Yunyi to death with 20 court battles. Later, when heavy snow fell, Feng Bao hid from everyone and did not report to his superior, Lü Fang, and directly ran to Jiajing to report the snow Xiangrui.
Feng Baoming knew that going to report to Jiajing was an act of ultra vires, so why did he risk going, and finally ended up freezing to death?
In fact, Feng Bao's heart is very contradictory, and it can be seen from Feng Bao's report to Jiajing Xiangrui that Feng Bao is so old and calculating.
Zhou Yunyi had offended Jiajing, and whether he should die or not had to speculate on Jiajing's thoughts. In fact, Feng Bao did not want to kill Zhou Yunyi, after all, Zhou Yunyi was a person of the Qingliu Xu Steps. If Feng Bao killed Zhou Yunyi, it would be equivalent to opposing Xu Jie, Gao Gong, zhang Juzheng and others, or even against King Yu.
Of course, Feng Bao didn't want to offend Qingliu's people, but he also had to consider Jiajing's meaning. Zhou Yunyi made a fuss about the celestial signs and the expenses of the imperial court, that is, against Jiajing, and for the sake of Daming's stability, Feng Bao had to kill Zhou Yunyi.
The scheming Feng Bao seduced Zhou Yunyi several times and asked him to change his speech and say that the celestial phenomenon had nothing to do with the imperial court. However, Zhou Yunyi only wanted to die, but did not change his mouth. Feng Bao also had no choice but to let people kill Zhou Yunyi. After Feng Bao killed Zhou Yunyi, he was very worried, and he was afraid of retaliation from Xu Jie and others.
After Zhou Yunyi's death, Jiajing began to ask for snow. Unexpectedly, it snowed innocently, and Feng Baoke was happy. Feng Bao immediately ran to Jiajing and wanted to report the news of the snow falling from the sky.
According to the formal process, Feng Bao should first report to Lü Fang, the grand eunuch of the Si Li Supervisor, and then Lü Fang should convey the news to Jiajing. Why did Feng Bao want to exceed his authority and report directly to Jiajing to Xiangrui?
It was only because Feng Bao was afraid of retaliation and wanted a compliment from Jiajing. If Feng Bao told JiaJing the news of the snow falling from heaven, Jiajing would reward him. It shows that Zhou Yunyi is a demon, a person who should be killed.
Jiajing praised Feng Bao, which shows that Feng Bao did the right thing. As long as Jiajing supported Feng Bao, Xu Jie did not dare to do anything to Feng Bao. Therefore, Feng Bao, who was scheming and calculating, knew that this was an act of ultra vires, and he also risked reporting Xiangrui's news to Jiajing.
