In accordance with customary practice, His Holiness if you want to appoint adults as the Governor Minister, must first relieve adults of the Ministry of War, and then ordered adults Governor of the South Zhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong and other provinces of the military affairs, specialising in suppressing the Japanese. The Japanese, according to the responsibility of adults, really not to be dismissed, demoted, punished enough, and then do not help relegation enough. The reason why you were relieved of your duties, I thought, was to facilitate the appointment of you as the Governor Minister.”
Zhu Pingan, in Zhang Jing’s questioning gaze, slowly opened his mouth to explain, with a face of confidence and certainty.
Of course he was confident and certain, because Zhu Pingan knew that historically, this was the procedure for Zhang Jing to be appointed as the Viceroy Minister. History records that the imperial court set up a Viceroy Minister, His Majesty ordered Zhang Jing to dismiss his previous position as Secretary of the Ministry of War, and to govern the troops and horses of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Huguang provinces, acting cheaply and specialising in the suppression of the Japanese.
After Zhu Pingan finished his speech, he saw that Zhang Jing was stunned, and there was a flash of excitement in his eyes.
After a few seconds, Zhang Jing shook his head again and faintly said, “This is nothing more than Lord Zhu’s wishful and far-fetched thinking.”
“Perhaps it is wishful thinking on the part of my humble servant.” Zhu Pingan slightly shrugged his shoulders and resumed arching his hand, “However, the subordinate official in no way meant to amuse your lordship.”
“Thou hast spoken presumptuously, let’s hear it.” Zhang Jing nodded noncommittally.
“However, if Your Excellency is appointed as the Viceroy Minister, please remember that Your Excellency owes Your Excellency a cup of wine, when Your Excellency comes to your door to ask for it, Your Excellency must not ask Your Excellency to eat a closed door.” Zhu Pingan joked with deep meaning.
“Hehe, there is a Royal Tribute Wine ‘Pearl Red’ given by His Holiness back in the day in my residence, I’m afraid that Your Excellency Zhu doesn’t have this mouthful of wine.”
Zhang Jing stroked his beard and laughed kindly.
“That’s a deal, Boss Man can have the wine ready.” Zhu Pingan pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.
When the appointment of Governor Zhang Jing came down, Zhu Pingan believed that he would definitely leave a deep and indelible good impression on Zhang Jing.
Accurately Predicting Japanese Attacks on Yingtian, Accurately Predicting Zhang Jing’s Appointment as Viceroy Minister ……
It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he had a tent and a brilliant plan, but after these two events, in the future, if he had any more suggestions or opinions, Zhang Jing would definitely give them serious consideration, instead of rushing to negate them as he had done last time and this time.
“Xian nephew, Xian nephew, come come ……” Just then, Zhu Pingan heard the call and looked up to see the Duke of Wei and Marquis of Linhuai, both of whom were holding wine cups and standing beside Chen Hong, beckoning to themselves.
“Lord Zhang, excuse me.” Zhu Pingan apologised and said to Zhang Jing.
“Please go ahead, Lord Zhu, don’t mind old man.” Zhang Jing nodded slightly, signalling for Zhu Pingan to make himself at home.
“Uncle.” Zhu Pingan walked towards Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai with his wine cup.
“Xian nephew, come come, let’s formally introduce Duke Chen to you.” The Duke of Wei and Marquis Linhuai both said enthusiastically.
“Greetings Duke Chen.” Zhu Pingan followed good advice and went forward to pay his respects to Chen Hong.
“Hehe, Scholar Lang is polite.” Chen Hong smiled very gently, “Duke and Marquis, but there is no need to introduce us to each other, although today is the first time that we meet with Scholar Lang, but it is not the first time that we have dealt with each other.”
“Oh, eunuch and virtuous nephew is not the first time to deal with.” Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai were somewhat surprised.
“Precisely. Speaking of which, the miscellaneous family would also like to properly thank Scholar Lang.” Chen Hong covered the corner of his lips with his hand and laughed.
“Oh, so Xian Nephew has also helped the eunuch? Xian nephew is also hiding too deeply, and has never spoken with us.”
The Duke of Wei and Marquis Linhuai both heard this and couldn’t help but feel happy in their hearts, this is good, there is this relationship, then there is indeed no need to introduce it. Xian nephew actually helped Duke Chen, this is better than the effect of the introduction, such as Duke Chen back to the capital, will naturally help Xian nephew in front of the saint to speak well, oh, perhaps because of Xian nephew, Duke Chen will also help us to speak well a few words.
When Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai thought of this, the smiles on their faces bloomed, this is really good news.
“Ahem ……” When Zhu Pingan saw the smiles on the faces of Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Knowing that the two had overthought it.
When I was in Jingnan, I did “help” Eunuch Chen and properly “entertained” his godson.
Eunuch Chen and his godson must have thanked me from the bottom of their hearts, gnashing their teeth and chewing through their gums and blood…….
“Hehe, Scholar Lang is doing good deeds without seeking fame.” Chen Hong covered the corners of his mouth and smiled with a face like a chrysanthemum.
“That was more than a month ago, when the miscellaneous family was ordered to go out of the palace to buy pearls, the miscellaneous family in Suzhou on official business, there is a thief posing as the miscellaneous family’s ungrateful righteous son, in the Jingnan County to recruit, take by force, corrupt the miscellaneous family’s reputation, it is the Scholarly Gentleman Lang clear-sightedness, to identify the person posing as a miscellaneous family’s righteous son, will be that the thieves captured, beaten, tied and handed over to the miscellaneous family, to maintain the reputation of miscellaneous families The thief was caught, beaten and tied up, and handed over to the family, upholding the reputation of the family and doing the family a great favour. Otherwise, the reputation of the miscellaneous family is small, if it affects the emperor, damage to the reputation of the emperor, then the miscellaneous family is a thousand years of sinners. Luckily, there is Scholar Lang who is righteous enough to help out.”
Chen Hong said smilingly to Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai, his words overflowing with gratitude to Zhu Pingan.
“Your Excellency is polite, it’s just a show of hands.” Zhu Pingan humbly said, you vainly I commissar chant, who is afraid of who, continued and said, “Chen Gong Gong diligently do business, impartiality and law-abiding, autumn without offence, there has been a virtuous name, if it is really Chen Gong’s righteous son, it must be like Chen Gong Gong, such as the high winds, loyalty to do business, and will not be delayed to do business, and diligently go around to cheat, to deceive, forcibly take the property of a good person, that’s why I immediately recognised that That person was an impostor of Eunuch Chen’s righteous son, corrupting the Eunuch’s reputation.”
“Ah, to think that someone would dare to impersonate Duke Chen’s righteous son to solicit and take by force, he truly deserves to die.”
Duke Wei said with righteous indignation.
“That’s right, Xian Nephew is still young, his heart is too kind, beating him is too cheap, caning him should be done.”
Marquis Linhuai agreed.
Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth again, his afterglow caught the corners of Chen Hong’s covered mouth seemingly twitching as well ……
“Eunuch Chen, there is no need to say words of thanks, Xian Nephew he can help the Eunuch, that is his honour. Otherwise, how could he be able to be acquainted with the eunuch, this is his good fortune, the eunuch is the red man in front of the saint, the eunuch in front of the saint to give the virtuous nephew a good word, better than the virtuous nephew buried his head and worked hard for several years of work.”
Marquis Linhuai not without compliments to Chen Hong said, said after pulling Zhu Pingan forward to toast, “Xian nephew, not toasting Gong Gong a cup.”
Zhu Pingan pulled the corner of his mouth, but also beautiful words, he does not denigrate me in front of the saint, speak bad words, then thank God.
But on the face, Zhu Pingan still smiled and went forward to make a toast, “To Eunuch Chen.”
“Scholar Lang please, words of thanks, miscellaneous family will not say more, in the future, Scholar Lang has need of miscellaneous family, just open your mouth, miscellaneous family will never excuse.” Chen Hong raised his wine cup, clinked it, and drank it all in one go.
“Still not quick enough to thank the eunuch.” The two of them, Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai, were excited when they heard this.
“Many thanks, Eunuch.”
Zhu Pingan had no choice but to arch his hand in vain.
