Brief Introduction of Feng Bao, the Great Eunuch of Ming Dynasty: How did Feng Bao die?

Feng Bao was a great eunuch and a famous eunuch politician in Ming Dynasty during Jiajing period. Although he was a eunuch, he had a great influence on the politics of the Ming Dynasty and was called the "internal phase". And this influence comes from Zhang, the so-called eternal phase.

Feng Bao, whose real name is Yong Ting and whose real name is Sara, was born in Feng Jia Village, Zhaojiaquan Township, Hengshui City and died in the 11th year of Wanli. Feng Bao entered the palace in vain at first, because his position was not high and his rights were not great, so there was no detailed record. At the beginning of Qin Long's life, he began to be in charge of the East Factory and the Royal Horse Prison.

Dongchang is a famous secret service institution in Ming Dynasty, and it is an important institution and way for the emperor to rule the courtiers in order to strengthen the autocratic monarchy. Feng Bao can become the prefect of the East Factory and be in charge of the affairs of the East Factory, which has proved that Feng Bao was highly valued and trusted by the emperor at this time. It is said that Feng Bao was reused because of his good handwriting, so he became a eunuch.

During the Jiajing period, Feng Baocheng was a pen eunuch, which can be said to be the first eunuch in the harem. Qin Long six years, Ming Muzong died of illness. Feng Bao was in a high position at that time. In order to go further, he frantically revised the emperor's testamentary edict and became the minister of life. Bao Feng participated in politics openly as Minister Gu Ming, and realized his political ambition.

Ten-year-old Zhu Yijun succeeded to the throne after the death of Ming Muzong. After the young emperor ascended the throne, Feng Bao, as a minister of Gu Ming, influenced the political structure of the imperial court many times. At that time, it was a high arch that served as records, and Zhang was under it. The relationship between Gao Gong and Feng Bao is not good, so Feng Bao took aim at Gao Gong and tried to get rid of him.

However, Zhang came to Gao Gong and wanted to go further. Therefore, the two men can be said to hit it off, joined hands to get rid of Gao Gong and forced Gao Gong to dismiss from office and return to China.

After Gao Gong left, Zhang Juzheng took the post of recovery and, with the support of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, began his own reform. Zhang's most commendable policy is the famous "one whip method" in history. The drag of "one whip method" restored the economy and national strength of the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent. In fact, this policy was successfully implemented by Zhang with the support of Zhang. Therefore, Zhang's historical achievements need to be affirmed.

Although Feng Bao had a certain foresight in politics, he also had a shortcoming that most eunuchs had, and that was greed for money. It is said that although Zhang is his political partner, he will also bribe him. According to historical records, Zhang once gave seven famous pianos, nine night pearls, five pairs of bead curtains, 32,000 gold and 202,000 silver. This later became a cause of his downfall.

Later, when Song Shenzong 18 was drunk, he drew his sword and almost killed someone. Later, Feng Bao told Empress Dowager Cixi that she was so angry that she almost abolished the throne of the emperor. If it weren't for Zhang Kuai's remonstrance and drafting a letter for the emperor, I'm really not sure. So from then on, the emperor hated Feng Baoji's guts. The emperor's displeasure was also the cause of Feng Bao's downfall in the future.

In the ten years of Wanli, Zhang died of overwork. When he died, Feng Bao was impeached by Li Zhi of the Western Empire on the basis of the twelve counts of Feng Bao. Song Shenzong, who received the letter, also gave instructions: "Feng Bao was so guilty of deceiving the monarch and defeating the country that he should have been killed. I was entrusted by the imperial examination and served for a long time, so I was lenient, surrendered to the royal family, and sent to Nanjing for a new house. "

In this way, in the Wanli period, under the auspices of the emperor, Feng Bao was sent to Nanjing Xiaoling to grow vegetables. Shortly after returning to China, Bao Feng died of illness in the eleventh year of Wanli. And because Feng's party members, including his relatives, all fell down one after another. Feng Bao's younger brother Feng You and nephew Feng Bangning died in prison after being removed from their posts. ?
