A group of officials went up to greet Zhao Wenhua’s great carriage along with Zhang Jing, and after Zhao Wenhua disembarked from the ship, they performed a great salute and bowed to him.
“Governor Zhang and all the other adults please rise quickly.”
Zhao Wenhua smiled as he stood and accepted the salute from the officials, saying that he stepped forward to pull Zhang Jing up.
Zhang Jing had already risen automatically at the same time Zhao Wenhua spoke, and didn’t even wait for Zhao Wenhua to reach out and pull, making Zhao Wenhua’s outstretched hands a little awkward, and his smile froze a little.
“Ta-Jen Zhao has travelled all the way and rushed until dusk, he must be tired, the official residence has already been arranged, please enter the official residence to rest, and we will receive Ta-Jen Zhao tomorrow.”
Zhang Jing got up and said indifferently, expressing his dissatisfaction with Zhao Wenhua’s late arrival.
“Oh, thank you for Governor Zhang’s concern, to be able to run an errand for His Majesty, it is indeed a great honour and privilege, after receiving the decree my body is filled with energy, where would I be tired. Originally in fact can be early to Yingtian an hour, but the way Linjiang town, a certain know Linjiang town of talismanic paper is the world’s best, this official is responsible for the sacrifice of the sea heavy responsibility, can not miss such a good offering, so stop Linjiang town, compared to a number of talismanic paper old shop, spent some time, carefully selected to buy some of the best talismanic paper. Although it was a bit more tedious, a bit more running around, but once I thought that I was able to make some more preparations for the Sea Sacrifice, I didn’t feel tired at all.”
Zhao Wenhua smiled slightly and rejected Zhang Jing’s arrangement, explaining the reason for his late arrival.
In his mouth, the reason why he was late was all because he was bent on the important task of sacrificing the sea, all for the sake of fulfilling the imperial order.
It was called being diligent and conscientious.
“No wonder Lord Zhao was able to gain the trust of His Majesty and entrust Lord Zhao with the important task of sacrificing the sea, it turns out that all the time, everywhere and nowhere, Lord Zhao never forgets the important task he is shouldering, truly a model for my generation.”
“Seeing a virtuous man is like thinking of Qi, we have to learn from Lord Zhao, look up to Lord Zhao, and be a person who puts his work first.”
The crowd of officials at the scene opened their mouths to praise Zhao Wenhua’s dedication after his words.
Zhao Wenhua was a Minister of Qin, the well known godson of Yan Song, and a heavyweight in Yan’s party, any one of these identities was enough to make many officials rush forward and come up to hold his stinking feet.
Zhang Jing grunted, and he was very disdainful of Zhao Wenhua.
Bullshit docking Linjiang town compared to buy talisman paper, you are in the town of Linjiang accepted the invitation of a luxury businessmen, in the luxury businessmen stayed nearly an hour before loaded out, I do not know how many generous gifts received luxury businessmen, reached what invisible power and money transactions, in order to cover up people’s ears, casually buy a few cars of talisman paper on board the ship.
Since Zhang Jing became this Jiangnan general anger, the power is in the hands of the whole Jiangnan wind blowing can not hide from him. Zhao Wenhua’s every move from Yangzhou to Yingtian was within his grasp, and there was always someone to report it.
However, Zhang Jing did not expose Zhao Wenhua’s lies on the spot, after all, the other party was now in the status of an imperial official.
Not looking at the face of the monk to look at the face of the Emperor.
“Since Lord Zhao isn’t tired, then please move to the Imperial Magistrate’s Yamen, this official has already arranged for the Ministry of Ceremonies to prepare a crude tea and meal to receive Lord Zhao.”Zhang Jing said in a light tone, the formula’s courtesy inviting.
“Please, Ta-Jen Zhao.”
The crowd of officials reached out their hands to politely invite Zhao Wenhua to move to the Qin Magistrate’s Yamen.
“Many thanks to Lord Zhang, many thanks to all of you fellow officials, receiving the dust and whatnot is not important, being able to have a chance to get to know all of you pillars of talent, being able to have all of you pillars of talent to help you fulfil the heavy responsibility of the Holy Lord is what this official values.”
Zhao Wenhua scanned the group of officials and said with a smile, giving the group of officials a high hat.
“Your Excellency Zhao is really flattering, we can’t claim to be pillars, but we will definitely do our best to assist Your Excellency Zhao in fulfilling His Majesty’s heavy responsibility.”
Many officials were moved to state their position.
“With the help of Governor Zhang and all of you, I am confident that this official will successfully complete the heavy responsibility entrusted by His Holiness.”
Zhao Wenhua bowed to Zhang Jing and the group of officials, then followed Zhang Jing’s arrangement and moved to the Qinzhi Yamen.
On the way to the Qinzhi Yamen, Zhao Wenhua went from one to another to get acquainted with the officials above the fourth rank and exchanged a few brief words.
“Hehe, Zi Hou, it’s been a long time, why didn’t you take the initiative to come up and say hello to teacher me, and had to wait for me to ask you.”
Zhao Wenhua smiled as he looked towards Zhu Pingan and beckoned with a smile, signalling for Zhu Pingan to come closer to speak.
“Student, greetings to Lord Zhao.”
Zhu Pingan had no choice but to come forward to pay his respects, performing the disciple salute and mouthing the name student.
There was no way, Zhao Wenhua called himself a teacher in public, Zhu Pingan couldn’t possibly tear him down in public, besides, if he really generalised, Zhao Wenhua could indeed be called his own seat teacher, back then, in the qualification test before the countryside examination – the imperial examination, Zhao Wenhua was the chief examiner, and it was he who examined himself.
“Ah? Ta-Jen Zhao and Ta-Jen Zhu actually have a teacher-student relationship? How come I’ve never heard Lord Zhu talk about it? I didn’t realise there was even this inside story?”
The nearby group of officials heard and saw the situation, all of them opened their mouths wide in surprise, completely unable to imagine that Zhu Pingan, who was the rival of the Yan Party, had a teacher-student relationship with Zhao Wenhua, the big brother of the Yan Party, and couldn’t help but curiously enquire.
Can one not be surprised? How Zhu Pingan had come to Jiangnan was well known to everyone. Zhu Pingan had offended the Yan Pavilion Elder and the Yan Party in order to be relegated to Jingnan as a small governor.
“Hehe, it’s a long story. This official and Yingtian’s destiny is very deep it, three years ago, the South Zhili school officer transferred to Sichuan, this official took over as the South Zhili school officer, inspecting the province’s various provinces, states and counties schools, checking the quality of teaching, managing the State Prison, presiding over the township exams. It was that year that Zi Hou came to Yingtian to take the township examination, and it was I who personally examined him in the examination before the township examination. At that time, ZiHou handed over the paper very early, not to hide you, when I first saw ZiHou, small boy, childish not yet faded, thought it was which family of noble donations to the supervisor, I did not think that the answer to the paper to make me impressed, on the spot out of the question to test compared to a number of ZiHou calmly respond to the answer to the fluent, the literary atmosphere is full of, let me marvel at, on the spot point for the first class on the ……You guys say, I and Zi Hou are not teacher and student.”
Zhao Wenhua smiled and opened his mouth, detailing the situation back then and praising Zhu Pingan a bit.
“Of course we are teacher and student. No wonder Lord Zhu is so talented at such a young age, it turns out that a famous teacher produces a great student.”
“With Lord Zhao as a teacher, teaching with learning and lifting up and helping, no wonder Lord Zhu was able to rise to the fourth rank at such a young age.”
“Ta-Jen Zhu is truly blessed, having Ta-Jen Zhao as his teacher, his future will be unlimited in the future, I am truly envious.”
The crowd of officials spoke up, closing their eyes and attributing all of Zhu Pingan’s achievements to Zhao Wenhua.
Zhu Pingan pulled the corner of his mouth with a speechless face, let you guys say what you want, as long as you are happy ……
