The chief official Hu Zongxian rode a donkey, and his attendants naturally would not cross their master to ride a horse, they all rode donkeys as well.
For a time, on the official road, more than a dozen donkeys hissed in unison, and to be honest, this gesture is much more bullish than riding a horse.
Outside the pavilion a group of officials stupid ah, was shocked to the seven. Of course, the biggest blow is still Zhang Chufeng, Chu Xiong and others, they looked at the official road slowly approaching the donkey group, crouching heartache to the extreme, and can not wait to this several stupid donkeys peeled and gnawed meat stewed soup and boiled gum, these stupid donkeys out, means that they lose silver. See the donkey on the back of Hu Zongxian and others, they are also forbidden to more than heart slander, all the damn Jiajing thirty-one years, you still riding a donkey on the office, the head was kicked by a donkey!
These donkeys can be really cute, look at their long donkey face, more like a shiny silver ticket ah.
Zhu Pingan looked at the donkey group, couldn’t help but smile, when the donkey group was close at hand, Zhu Pingan with a smile on his face took his official hat from Chu Xiong’s hand, backhandedly buckled, laughed at all the bo bets in it, and then arched his hand to Chu Xiong and others to say thank you, one by one, “Thank you for the financial support, thank you for the financial support ……”
Chu Xiong heart dripping blood, face forced smile, “Oh, Zhu little brother polite what, brother I opened before the game is not said well, I this game ah is to fund Zhu little brother group practice ……”
Zhang Chufeng, on the other hand, can’t even force a smile, a face is almost pulled to the crotch of the trousers, in the face of Zhu Pingan’s arching thanks, pulling his face and coldly snorting, coldly said, “Hmph, do not thank you!”
……
“What virtue and ability does Mister Hu have, I am grateful to you all adults for welcoming me.”Hu Zongxian arrived on a donkey, rolled over and got off the donkey, arched his hand and thanked the group of officials outside the long pavilion.
“Ta-Jen Hu is polite.”
The crowd of officials bowed their hands and returned the salute.
Although Hu Zongxian’s official position was only seventh rank, his weight could be seen on this occasion.
The six ministers of the second rank were still holding their positions, but the third ranked Minister of Prefecture as well as the Minister of Justice didn’t hold their positions any longer, and took the initiative to come forward to talk to Hu Zongxian with the etiquette of an official of the same rank.
As for the fourth and fifth grade officials, when meeting with Hu Zongxian, they instead paid their respects.
Zhu Pingan was not exempt.
In this regard, Zhu Pingan’s heart was also balanced, and his obeisance was not unpleasant. Firstly, the power and status of the royal inspector is not the same as in the past; secondly, Hu Zongxian is a senior, Hu Zongxian is the seventeen years of Jiajing, himself is the thirty years of Jiajing Enke’s bachelor, Hu Zongxian’s seniority than their own to be older than more than ten years, in the seniority of the feudal era, the late generation to see the seniors and then normal; thirdly, Hu Zongxian when he went to the line of the Kodo speech officials, Kodo speech official’s promotion is different with the ordinary promotion of the officials. Section Road officials are notoriously thick and thin, after the first, promoted faster than the average official. Although the level of officials, but the seventh grade, but they as long as they do a good job, merit accumulated to a certain extent, they can be directly from the seventh grade officials to promote, in the capital can be promoted to the four or five grade of the Imperial Household Servants Temple, such as the young secretary, and outside of the transfer, then you can be directly promoted to the third grade of the Senate.
Hu Zongxian was a third grade scholar. In the Ming dynasty, one a jinshi directly into the Hanlin Academy; two a jinshi in addition to the master, in addition to the governor; three a in addition to the Chinese scholar, pedestrians, etc., in addition to the magistrate, governor. Hu Zongxian exam in the three a jinshi, awarded for shandong qingzhou province yidu county magistrate, later transferred to yuyao county magistrate. After that, Hu Zongxian turned to the route of the officials of the Section and the Road. From the local governor to the section of the road officials, to the seventh grade imperial inspector Xuanfu, Dazhong and other border towns, military discipline, solid border defence, to a certain extent, stabilised the border. Last year, Hu Zongxian also toured Hubei and Guangxi, involved in the pacification of the Miao uprising, also made achievements. At the beginning of the month, Hu Zongxian was appointed by the Jiajing Emperor as the Zhejiang Inspector General.
According to the promotion route of the officials of the imperial court, as long as Hu Zongxian made some achievements, he could be promoted to the fourth grade of the Beijing government, or the third grade of the local officials, in other words, Hu Zongxian is now between the fourth grade and the third grade of the local officials.
In addition, Zhu Pingan is more aware of Hu Zongxian’s weight than any other person present, Zhu Pingan knows that Hu Zongxian will soon be promoted, but also continuous promotion, soaring to the sky, become the Governor of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Governor of Zhejiang, South Zhili and Fujian and other military affairs, to become a bull’s-eye in the field of officialdom in the south of the country.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan worship its Hu Zongxian to, heart is very balanced, not a little opinion.
Zhu Pingan mixed in the crowd to pay respect to Hu Zongxian, at the same time silently observing the history of the big man, vision of Hu Zongxian and Hu Zongxian in the mind is very different. The image of Hu Zongxian in Zhu Pingan’s mind comes from the standard old cadre look of Wang Qingxiang in the modern day Ming Dynasty 1566, but Hu Zongxian in his vision is much more extraordinary than Wang Qingxiang, and his expression is also much richer.
Hu Zongxian long-sleeved, social skills are very strong, the face of the six ministers are not inferior, the face of low-level officials are not exuberant, the size of the officials are taken care of, so that there is a kind of foam spring breeze feeling.
“Lord Hu travelled all the way by boat, hard work.”A group of officials exchanged pleasantries, several eloquent low ranking officials scrambled to help Hu Zongxian lead the donkey.
“Oh, I’m okay, my donkey is the hard work, this all the way south, I’m all fat, almost did not break the old donkey waist ……”Hu Zongxian arched his hand to the crowd to express his gratitude, witty back.
The crowd heard, very cuddly laughter, the atmosphere is very cordial.
In the long pavilion outside the pleasantries for a few moments, the crowd will welcome Hu Zongxian into Yingtian to receive the dust, the crowd rode a horse, Hu Zongxian riding a donkey. Hu Zongxian’s donkey is very proud, on the road from time to time “um ah um ah” bray a few times, because it found that it is faster than the horse today, in addition to a few horses and it is neck and neck, the rest of the horse is slower than it, in the back of its buttocks to eat grey, donkey life has reached the pinnacle of the feeling.
The reception banquet was set at the Royal Inspector’s Office, and a few famous Yingtian Province restaurant chefs were invited to take the helm.
Hu Zongxian and the six ministers, Buzhengzhu, according to the minister of a table, other officials according to rank seated, different Yamen deliberately mixed seats, to different Yamen increase communication opportunities, to facilitate future work with, but also to give the officials a chance to get to know each other.
Zhu Pingan sat at a table with five officials from the six ministries of Yingtian, and because of his shallow seniority and young age, he was accompanied at the end of the table.
At first, the five officials were quite enthusiastic about Zhu Pingan and were interested in making friends, after all, being able to sit at the table with them proved that Zhu Pingan’s official position was also of the fifth rank, and that he was so young and talented that his future would be unlimited in the future.
However, when Zhu Pingan reported his name, they had a look of seeing the plague, oh, so you are the one who offended Yan Pavilion Elder’s Zhu Zihou ah, immediately to Zhu Pingan respect far away, intentionally keep a distance from Zhu Pingan, sitting on the left and right side of Zhu Pingan’s two officials and even moved his buttocks in the chair, his body intentionally tilted to the distance, in the limited space, and Zhu Pingan pulled away from the distance.
You’re sitting on this arse in place!
Zhu Pingan pulled the corner of his mouth breathlessly.
