Feng Bao's "three dozen" life in "Daming Dynasty 1566"

I believe that many viewers who have watched the TV series "Daming Dynasty 1566" have a careful taste of the big boss Jiajing in the play, the CEO Yan Song, the chief assistant of the big boss Lu Fang, and the second boss Yu Wangfu's doormen Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Zheng and other big figures. In the play, there is a small character who does not have many scenes, seems to be light-spoken, and is easy to be ignored by everyone, but it is a character who has a major impact on the history of the Ming Dynasty. Who is this person?

Hello everyone, I'm ok. In this episode, we will talk about this little person in "Daming Dynasty 1566", Feng Bao.

Feng Bao, Zi Yongting, Shuanglin, a native of Fengjia Village, Hengshui, Hebei, was born in 1543 and died in 1583. Although Feng Bao only lived for 40 years, he was the master of the three dynasties of Ming Shizong, Muzong, and Shenzong, that is, the Jiajing Emperor, Yu Wang, and Shizi in the play. Why is this little character a big name?

In the TV series "In the Name of the People", the villain Gao Yuliang, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, a high-ranking official from a law professor, met Gao Xiaofeng, a confidant of the red face, because of a copy of "Fifteen Years of the Wanli Calendar", and then fell into the trap designed by Zhao Yulong, and eventually became a prisoner.

People who have read this book know that this year, the reform known as the "One Whip Law" was completely abolished by Zhu Yijun, the Ming Emperor, officially announcing the failure of the reform, and also announcing that the Ming Dynasty and even China's feudal dynasty of more than two thousand years had since moved from the shengji to the road of no return.

An important reason why this "whip law" of cracking down on the powerful and suppressing the exploitation of the people by the officials and gentry, which could not only reduce the people's tax burden, but also increase the revenue of the national treasury, and allow the Ming Dynasty to revitalize it, was that it was able to be implemented in the first place, and it was able to show initial results, and an important reason was that Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, received the absolute support of Feng Bao, a eunuch who was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor. It can be seen that Feng Bao is definitely not a small person who can be ignored casually.

It is said that the companion of the king is like a companion of the tiger, the historical Feng Bao was able to go through three dynasties, and eventually became the palm seal eunuch of the Si Li Supervisor, in addition to his good looks, outstanding calligraphy, and was highly appreciated as the "companion" of Zhu Yijun, the son of the Prince of Yu, naturally there was no lack of "forbearance" and "fierceness" that were hidden deep in his heart and could survive and maneuver in the center of the highest power.

In the TV series "Daming Dynasty 1566", how can we see Feng Bao's "fierceness" and "forbearance"? After carefully tasting this drama, I summarized it as "three strikes": one dared to kill officials, the second dared to kill fellow eunuchs, and the third was able to endure severe beatings.

The first beating and killing of officials

The first plot of the opening chapter of "Daming Dynasty 1566" is that in the thirty-ninth year of Ming Jiajing (1560), zhou Yunyi, the superintendent of Qin Tian, wrote a letter bluntly saying that the corruption of the imperial court angered the Jiajing Emperor, and the 17-year-old eunuch Feng Bao, the governor of Dongchang, failed to accurately understand the holy will, and only used twenty "court battles" to beat Zhou Yunyi to death at the noon gate of the Forbidden City.

Feng Bao's "beating" offended both Prince Yu and the "Qingliu Party" headed by Xu Jie, and even slapped the horse's ass on the emperor's "horseshoe", not only did not win the emperor's joy and reward, but became Jiajing's "back pot man" who suppressed the "Qingliu Party". This also became the direct reason why lü Fang, the eunuch in charge of the seal, had to arrange for Jiajing to go to the Yu King's mansion to be the "eldest companion" of the newborn shizi Zhu Yijun when he implemented Jiajing's instructions to "take good care of him".

The second beat and killed colleagues

In order to exonerate Zhou Yunyi, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor, of corruption in the imperial court, offending the gods, and condemning him, after Zhou Yunyi was killed by Feng Bao, Jiajing decided to "pray for snow" from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the new year. Just in the process of "praying for snow" was extremely tense, Feng Bao and the eunuchs on duty just in time for the first fall of Ruixue.

In order to curry favor with the emperor, Feng Bao completely ignored the extremely strict rules in the palace, immediately suppressed this great news, and threatened the eunuchs on duty: "Before I report to the emperor, any of you will dare to grin again, and I will immediately beat him to death." After saying this, he bypassed the grand eunuch of the Celebrant of Ceremonies and hurried to the emperor's palace to report the good news.

Feng Bao, who knelt outside the palace gate and rejoiced in jiajing, not only did not receive Jiajing's reward, but he did not even get the opportunity to face the saint. After Feng Bao pasted Jiajing's cold ass on his hot face, he hurried to the Si Li Supervisor, and just happened to be at the gate of the Si Li Supervisor, he met Lü Fang, the eunuch of the Si Li Supervisor, and several other Bingbi eunuchs who were going to the Emperor's palace to attend the imperial pre-imperial meeting.

After listening to Feng Bao's report, Lü Fang said coldly, "I thought that as soon as the emperor was happy, he let you enter the Si Li Supervisor?" Chen Hong, the eunuch of Bingbi, gritted his teeth and took over: "Yes, those of us who should also move the land." Finally, Lü Fang said, "Let's go first," and left Feng Bao alone in the snow that was flying in front of the gate of the Si Li Supervisor.

Feng Bao's "beating" was ostensibly a threat to a small eunuch with a lower rank than him, but in fact, the real threat was a few Bingbi eunuchs of the Celebrant of Ceremonies, which was one of the important reasons why he suffered the "third strike".

The third beating, endure the beating

After the "Yan Dang" was overthrown, Xu Jie was promoted to the position of first assistant, and Chen Hong also succeeded Lü Fang in holding the power of the Si Li Supervisor. In order to crack down on the "Qingliu Party" headed by Xu Jie and balance the forces between the "Qingliu Party" and the "royalists" loyal to themselves, Jiajing sent a warning signal to the "Qingliu Party" by knocking on the mountain and shocking the tiger.

Feng Bao, the "man with the pot", was soon forcibly taken away from the Yu King's mansion by Chen Hong, at the will of Jiajing, and sent to the Ming Dynasty eunuch's "concentration camp" Chaotianguan to serve hard labor. However, this time, he did not "carry the pot" for Jiajing, but for the "Qingliu Party" headed by Jiajing's sons Yu Wangye and Xu Jie. This time he "carried the pot" greatly added points to the palm seal eunuch who later became the head seal eunuch of the MingShen Sect.

Back to the plot of "Daming Dynasty 1566", after Lü Fang stepped down as the eunuch of The Imperial Household, he knew that the successor Chen Hong would never easily spare his son Feng Bao, and before leaving, he made a special trip to Chaotianguan and gave the "lifesaver" given to him by Jiajing to the boss of Chaotianguan, "Blue Immortal", he believed that such a heavy bribe, no matter how much Chen Hong embarrassed Feng Bao, the "Blue Immortal" would save Feng Bao's life.

When Lü Fang met with Feng Bao, she confidently warned him: "You must endure, in the future, the master of my Daming will first be King Yu and then Shizi, as long as you endure until that day, the people who have been protected by Daddy Gan for decades will all be entrusted to you." After Feng Bao said that he must live to that day, Lü Fang gave up his identity as an "old ancestor", prostrated his head to Feng Bao, and made a final farewell.

After Lü Fang left, Chen Hong did as he expected, and sprinkled all the "evil fire" in his heart on Feng Bao's body. At the construction site of the snow-covered palace construction site, a small eunuch who was supervising the work drove away the two hard laborers who were preparing to lift a wooden stick, and shouted to Feng Bao, who had just walked in front of him: "All rest, these ah, let Feng Bao move alone."

Feng Bao looked bitter, but he looked at the little eunuch helplessly. Just when Feng Bao exerted his strength to suckle and picked up the end of the stick, the little eunuch did not forget to tease him: "Aren't you capable?" Why can't you even move a piece of wood? So you still want to enter the celebrant in the future? A eunuch who makes a palm print? bah...... I'll count three more times, and if you can't move it, you'll nibble on this wood for me!" ”

The little eunuch's merciless blow to Feng Bao's soul was intertwined with the "blessing" in Lü Fang's heart before leaving, and instantly turned into a god-like force, and Feng Bao carried the wood at once. As soon as he turned around, the wooden stick hit the body of the eunuch behind him.

Huang Jin, a bingbi eunuch hiding in the attic with Jiajing, saw it and shouted "yes." As soon as the words fell, the plot reversed, and Feng Bao, who had not yet been able to catch his breath after putting down the wood, was immediately beaten. Watching Feng Bao lie on the ground like a dead dog, letting the little eunuch beat him without any resistance, Huang Jin, who has always been soft-hearted, actually scolded in front of Jiajing without scruples: "These dog fighting things!" ”

Feng Bao's "fight" seems to have fallen into the trough of his life, but after his heart received the same "blessing" as Lü Fangshen, even if his body was beaten to pieces, he firmly believed that he was a sword that was about to come out of nowhere, and he could endure the final tempering extremely calmly and unusually firmly. In the words of Jiajing in the play, "The person who can kill Chen Hong in the future is probably this person." ”
