Little Zhu Taoren is too modest, this Cabinet Secretary can be different from other Secretaries, it is a place of opportunity, close to the Holy Family, how many people can’t dream of such a good thing.”Feng Bao looked at Zhu Pingan and said with a slight smile.
“It is precisely because it is a place of opportunity that I am worried. I’m a person with inexperienced abilities and an unpleasant personality, so if I mess with any of the big shots, I’ll be in for a rude awakening.”Zhu Pingan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
“I don’t know about others, but Little Lord Zhu is definitely competent enough for this position.”Feng Bao had full confidence in Zhu Pingan.
After saying this, Feng Bao smiled slightly and continued, “Furthermore, this Sizhilang of Lord Xiao Zhu is still hand-picked by His Majesty. If Lord Xiao Zhu doesn’t believe in himself, does he still not believe in His Majesty’s vision?”
“How dare I, how dare I ……”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and confessed, lending himself ten guts, he wouldn’t dare to ah.
“Little Lord Zhu is not anxious, miscellaneous family is just saying.”Feng Bao slightly smiled, and Zhu Pingan relative arch hand said, “small Zhu Ta-Jen’s Secretary straight cabinet, in the future, I have something to ask small Zhu Ta-Jen for advice.”
“Eunuch Feng you are welcome, please teach me not dare to be, you and I just communicate with each other.”Zhu Pingan shook his head and laughed, then continued, “Moreover, in the future, I will have to trouble you to take care of me.”
“This is of course, thanks to the last guidance of little Lord Zhu, I have benefited a lot, sweeping away the shackles of the predicament of the day.”
As soon as Zhu Pingan’s words fell, Feng Bao nodded his head vigorously and then implicitly thanked Zhu Pingan regarding his instructions on the system of turning over the cards in the harem’s bedchamber.
Because there were two other young eunuchs present as well as housekeeper Li and others, it was inconvenient to explicitly talk about the palace affairs.
“I’m just providing an idea, it’s mainly Eunuch Feng’s physical practice, diligence, sincerity and sensitivity.”Zhu Pingan smiled and shook his head, not taking credit at all.
Feng Bao this person is worth investing in, although he is a person who has the problem of greed for money, but he is quite righteous, as can be seen from the fact that he has never betrayed Zhang Juzheng since he became acquainted with him in history.
The snow in the charcoal is better than the icing on the cake.
Now Feng Bao’s reputation has not yet been revealed, has not yet risen, and encountered difficulties, it is a good time to invest, just like Lu Buwei strange goods Qin Yi Ren, the benefits of the future will naturally be incalculable. That is why Zhu Pingan was eager to help Feng Bao when he encountered problems.
“Little Lord Zhu is truly a gentleman of the world, the miscellaneous family is not as good.”
Feng Bao was overwhelmed with emotion and praise for Zhu Pingan’s humble and unassuming attitude. If he knew that Zhu Pingan treated him as goods, he probably wouldn’t think so.
Housekeeper Li who was standing in the main hall, watching Zhu Pingan talking and laughing with the nobles from the palace and being quite familiar with them, was inwardly shocked to think that Zhu Pingan’s connections had all reached the palace.
Feng Bao and Zhu Ping An exchanged pleasantries for a few moments before stepping into the main topic.
Feng Bao was here on behalf of Emperor Jiajing to convey an oracle, so naturally he could not be slow, especially in terms of etiquette.
The so-called oracle, in layman’s terms, is the oral decree, etiquette will not be wrong to follow the preparations to receive the decree.
Zhu Pingan asked housekeeper Li to place the incense burner in the middle of the main hall, and then wash his hands and burn the incense, all ready to go.
After Zhu Ping An’s side was ready, Feng Bao officially started to deliver the message.
Zhu Pingan knelt in front of the door to listen to the oracle, butler Li and other servants of Marquis Linhuai House all knelt outside the door, not daring to move.
“Oracle ……”
After the similarity of the opening words of the oracle, it entered the substance of the oracle.
“An official should be diligent and loyal in his duties, with Zhu Pingan the following day straight cabinet, do not lose my hope.”
Zhu Pingan listened to this sentence oracle, the heart of the face of the slander, my new official family visit holiday there are a few days it, Jiajing emperor this sentence on their own holiday to cancel. And this is considered overtime, right, but he was also fined one year.
Jiajing Emperor this boss when the, not pay wages, but also let people work overtime ……
However, Zhu Pingan is also in the heart of the slander only, face is naturally piled up a look of the emperor wise expression.
“This day, I specially give you a crown of fragrant leaves ……”
At the end of the day, Feng Bao conveyed Emperor Jiajing’s reward for Zhu Pingan, well, yes a hat.
Zhu Pingan heard, the heart can not help but once again slander.
This Jiajing emperor is really stingy, on the reward of a hat, hat can rice eat ah ……
Of course, thunder and rain situation king grace.
“I Zhu Pingan obey the decree, thank you Lord Long En.”Zhu Pingan knelt on the ground and performed a big salute, squeezing out a look of gratitude on his face.
Feng Bao stepped forward and helped Zhu Pingan up, “Little Lord Zhu please rise quickly.”
“Thank you, Eunuch Feng.”Zhu Pingan got up and thanked him.
“Lord Xiao Zhu is polite, this is the Fragrant Leaf Crown rewarded to Lord Xiao Zhu by His Holiness, please put it away.”Feng Bao said, taking the Fragrant Leaf Crown covered with red silk from a small eunuch at the side, and handed it to Zhu Pingan with both hands.
“My Lord, thank you for your Lord’s great kindness.”Zhu Pingan received it respectfully with both hands.
“This crown was specially compiled by His Holiness, little Lord Zhu must bring this crown with him when he directs the cabinet tomorrow.”Feng Bao reminded Zhu Pingan.
“Thank you for reminding me, Ping An has taken note.”Zhu Pingan thanked Feng Bao.
The great name of the Fragrant Leaf Crown, Zhu Pingan had heard of it in modern times. There was even an Incident of Fragrant Leaf Crown left in history.
It was around the 20th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, not only was he obsessed with alchemy and cultivation of immortality, but in his spare time, he also made five Taoist incense leaf crowns with his own hands, and rewarded them to the five closest ministers at the time with a passion. It is estimated that at that time Jiajing Emperor was trying to pull a few Taoist friends. These five ministers will include the then auxiliary Xia Yan, and now auxiliary Yan Song.
Xia Yan antipathy Jiajing emperor cultivation alchemy, simply do not believe in Taoism alchemy cultivation this set of superstitions, for Jiajing emperor rewarded the Taoist incense leaf crown, is more disdainful, once did not wear, are thrown in the home bugs; but Yan Song on the different, Yan Song in every meeting with Jiajing emperor, are brought with the incense leaf crown, in order to express the respect for the incense leaf crown, Yan Song also set a muslin outside the crown of the incense leaf, fear of getting dirty!The Fragrant Leaf Crown. So, jiajing emperor more and more dissatisfied with xia yan, and more and more satisfied with yan song, slowly, jiajing emperor will alienate xia yan, close to yan song, which makes yan song have the opportunity to unite 6 bing whole down xia yan.
“Time is not gone, miscellaneous family also have to go to review the decree, this will first farewell. When Lord Xiao Zhu is free to join the cabinet tomorrow, I will drink with Lord Xiao Zhu again.”Feng Bao handed over the Fragrant Leaf Crown to Zhu Pingan, and after instructing him, he took his leave.
Zhu Pingan politely stayed, but Feng Bao politely refused, saying that he had to go back to Xiyuan to review the decree.
Zhu Pingan said that he understands, so he sent Feng Bao to the entrance of Marquis Linhuai’s mansion, and saw Feng Bao get into the sedan chair and leave for the West Garden.
