After Qin Long's death, Feng Bao was appointed Minister of Life by testamentary edict (a "rectification decree"). Feng Bao took the opportunity to say to Li Taihou, "The high arch is in charge of the outline, and there is no son of heaven. He once said in front of officials, how can a child of 10 be the king of a country? " Li Taihou was afraid and worried about Gao Gong's autocratic power, so he fired Gao Gong and immediately left Beijing to return to his hometown. Zhang was an ally and a backer. At that time, the emperor was still young, so he reached the peak of power. Feng Bao has the upper hand for three reasons. It can be said that it is the right time and the right place, and he has to accept it.
Shi Tian Feng Bao's qualifications are very old. During the Jiajing period, he served as the director of the East Factory and concurrently served as the Royal Horse Supervisor. After Jiajing's death, Ming Muzong succeeded to the throne. Ming Muzong especially disliked Feng Bao, but he didn't touch Feng Bao much for his father's sake. Therefore, Feng Bao has been secretly accumulating strength in recent years. Ming Muzong was a lecherous, and he often ruled several women at night. The body was hollowed out and had to be entertained with the medicine of tiger and wolf. After six years as emperor, he died. Before he died, he wrote an imperial edict and left several ministers for his son. As a result, Feng Bao was so clever that he added his own name and became the only eunuch minister in history.
The minister who didn't know the truth thought that this was the case, so Feng Bao stood on the side of Emperor Wanli.
Emperor Wanli was only ten years old when he became king. Children like to play when they are not sensible. Feng Bao stayed with him all day and gradually became his good friend. He is called a big partner, which means a big playmate. A person is with you every day. This person is the one you are most familiar with and of course the most trustworthy. Therefore, many things of Wanli were handed over to Feng Bao, and Feng Bao gradually became the bearer of the harem.
Renhe knew Zhang very early, when Zhang was still the foreign minister. Zhang is an ambitious man who is bent on carrying out various reforms for the country and the people. However, Zhang is not a pedantic person. He knows that if he wants to implement his policies smoothly, he must first get rid of the queen mother and the emperor. It is difficult to get leadership directly, and it is much easier to break through from the leaders' cronies first. Although Feng Bao was called the Mainland, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not vegetarians. In order to consolidate their position, they also need someone in North Korea. The two hit it off and began to cooperate.
Feng Bao went in one ear and out the other, helping Zhang reform. Zhang also kept handing hats to help him consolidate his position, so his position became higher and higher.
