However, with his wisdom, Feng Bao got along well in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Qin Long, Feng Bao was highly valued by the emperor, who was in charge of the East Factory and the royal horse supervision. After Emperor Wanli succeeded to the throne, Feng Bao was appreciated by Li Taihou, and was promoted to be the eunuch of Li Si prison to assist the young Emperor Wanli.
In fact, for Emperor Wanli, Feng Bao was both a loyal minister and a strict teacher. He hoped to train Emperor Wanli into a generation of wise men, so he was very strict with him. On one occasion, Zhang invited Bai Lianhua and Yan to be appreciated by the emperor. He thought it was bad for the growth of the emperor, so he sent someone to find Zhang: The emperor is young and should not be allowed to play with these strange things. He has a bad temper. ? It can be seen that Feng Bao played a very important role in the growth of Wanli.
On another occasion, Emperor Wanli drank too much. He not only molested the maids with wine, but also cut off their hair for fun. Feng Bao know, immediately report to the queen mother. To this end, the queen mother was so angry that she even wanted to abolish the throne of Wanli. After that, Wanli was so scared that she knelt for several hours before giving up. Therefore, it is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty evaluated Feng Bao as? Know the big picture? Eunuch.
In addition, he also actively supported Zhang, the minister of the Ministry of Housing, to carry out political reform and achieved certain results. Wanli zhongxing? A prosperous situation.
In fact, it's all thanks to the records. Before Zhang was recorded by Gao Gong, but Gao Gong acted arbitrarily and had a deep conflict of interest with Zhang. Later, in order to bring down the high arch, Feng Bao sacrificed his reputation and established? Wang incident? It is necessary to frame Gao Gong, benefit Zhang, and take the position of records smoothly.
So, after Zhang became a record, cooperate tacitly and actively promote it? A whip? Law, reducing redundant staff and expenses, not only increased fiscal revenue for the country, but also created a new situation of the Wanli New Deal, and also created the most prosperous decade of the Ming Dynasty. Feng Bao not only has a unique political mind, but also has profound knowledge and profound calligraphy attainments.
Emperor Wanli, who was obsessed with calligraphy when he was young, was influenced by it. During his stay with Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing appreciated Feng Bao's beautiful calligraphy and used him as a calligraphy eunuch. In addition, Feng Bao not only engraved Wu Ji, Si Shu, Shu Jing, Tong Jian Zhi Jie, Emperor Jian Tu Shuo, Shu Shi and other works, but also left his own inscription on the original painting The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival.
Therefore, until the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Bao's calligraphy works were still widely circulated in the palace. Today, the "Forty-two Chapters Classic" he carved in those years is still preserved on a stone wall of Doulv Temple in Fangshan, Beijing.
It can be seen that Feng Bao's calligraphy skills are really approachable.
During the Chongzhen period, Liu Ruoyu's "Discussion? In the book "The Grand Ceremony of Ministers in Three Dynasties", there is such a record:? Feng Bao's handwriting is very good. He is good at playing the piano. ? It can be seen that Feng Bao is not only good at calligraphy, but also proficient in temperament.
In addition, he can also make guqin with excellent timbre, and people regard his piano as a treasure collection. However, it contributed to the recovery of the Daming regime and was called? A generation of wise ministers? Feng Bao, the great eunuch, was arrogant and corrupt in the later period, and finally made a big mistake, rolling in the deep. Feng Bao has done some extreme things for his own rights and interests.
In the event of the king, he did not hesitate to buy off the king and let him frame Gao Gong, saying that it was Gao Gong's will that he collided with the emperor to preserve his power and position in the court. In addition, in the yongning princess incident, he accepted a huge bribe from Liang to conceal his son's illness. As a result, only one month after marriage, her son Liang died of sudden illness, which caused the princess to die of depression a few years later.
Moreover, Feng Bao relies on power and greed. Even Zhang paid bribes to him. Has he ever accepted a card? Seven famous harps, nine luminous pearls, five pairs of bead curtains, thirty-two thousand gold and two hundred and two thousand silver? Waiting for the treasure In addition, Feng Bao accumulated a lot of money to build his own house and grave. The magnificent scene of the mausoleum can be compared with Xiyuan. The houses built in his hometown are as big as the emperor's palace.
However, after Zhang's death, he also lost the support of Empress Dowager Cixi, so he was impeached by ministers. Because he offended many ministers in the DPRK, and the Wang case angered all the ministers, making everyone hate his despicable behavior of framing and implicating. In addition, ministers of the DPRK, such as Zhang, admonished them for their improper behavior, which made them hold a grudge all the time.
Finally, under the impeachment of ministers, Feng Bao was demoted to property and taken to Nanking. In January of the 11th year of Wanli, Feng Bao died in Nanjing. Stone boy, Feng Bao? He died in Nanliu and was buried in the imperial factory. These trees are green. Yes, my younger brother Feng You is the nephew Feng Bangning of Jiacheng. After being dismissed from their posts, they were arrested again and spent a long time in prison, where they died.
In fact, throughout Feng Bao's life, he is not only a wily and insightful political broker, but also a Confucian with many contradictions and a strong literati atmosphere. But in any case, Feng Bao is enough to leave such a wonderful stroke in the history books!
