Chapter 1580 Talking about Zhang Jing and Snake Chen Hong
"According to the usual practice, if Your Majesty wants to appoint Your Majesty as the Governor-General, he must first relieve Your Majesty from the Ministry of War, and then appoint Your Majesty to Governor-General the military affairs of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, specializing in suppressing Japanese invaders. This time, according to His Majesty's instructions,
The responsibility you bear does not warrant dismissal from the official position. Demotion, fine and salary are enough, or demotion is enough. The reason for dismissing your Excellency, I think, is to facilitate the appointment of Your Excellency as the Governor-General."
Under Zhang Jing's questioning gaze, Zhu Ping'an slowly explained, with a look of confidence and certainty on his face.
Of course he was confident, because Zhu Ping'an knew that this was how Zhang Jing was appointed governor-general in history. Historical records record that the imperial court decided to appoint a governor-general, and the emperor ordered Zhang Jing to remove his previous post as Minister of War, and governor-general Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, and Shandong.
The soldiers and horses in Fujian and Huguang provinces acted expediently and specialized in suppressing Japanese invaders.
After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, he saw Zhang Jing was stunned, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
A few seconds later, Zhang Jing shook his head again and said calmly, "This is just Mr. Zhu's wishful thinking and far-fetched interpretation."
"Perhaps this is just wishful thinking." Zhu Pingan shrugged slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "However, I have no intention of entertaining you."
"You're talking nonsense, let's just listen to it." Zhang Jing nodded noncommittally.
"However, if your Excellency is appointed as a Governor-General, please remember to owe me a glass of wine. When the official comes to ask for it, please don't invite me to accept the rejection." Zhu Ping'an said with a profound joke.
"Haha, I have a jar of the royal tribute wine 'Pearl Red' given by the Holy One in my house. I'm afraid Master Zhu won't be so lucky."
Zhang Jing stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"It's agreed that the wine will be ready, Sir." Zhu Pingan slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a confident smile.
When Governor Zhang Jing is appointed, Zhu Pingan believes that he will leave a deep and indelible impression on Zhang Jing.
Accurately predict that Japanese pirates will invade Yingtian, and accurately predict that Zhang Jing will be appointed governor-general.
It may be a bit exaggerated to say that he is strategizing and calculating, but after these two events, if he has any suggestions in the future, Zhang Jing will definitely consider them carefully instead of rushing to deny them like last time and this time.
"Good nephew, good nephew, come on." At this moment, Zhu Ping'an heard the call and looked up to see Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis holding wine glasses, standing next to Chen Hong, waving to him.
"Master Zhang, I'm sorry." Zhu Ping'an apologized to Zhang Jing.
"Master Zhu, please don't worry about me." Zhang Jing nodded slightly, indicating to Zhu Pingan that he was free to do so.
"Uncle." Zhu Pingan walked towards Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis holding the wine glass.
"Good nephew, come here, I will formally introduce you to Eunuch Chen." Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis said enthusiastically.
"I've met Eunuch Chen." Zhu Ping'an followed his kindness and stepped forward to pay homage to Chen Hong.
"Haha, you are so polite to the Number One Scholar." Chen Hong smiled very gently, "The Duke and the Marquis do not need to introduce us to each other. Although the Za family meets the Number One Scholar for the first time today, it is not the first time they have dealt with it.
Already."
"Oh, this is not the first time that my father-in-law and my nephew have had contact." Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis were a little surprised.
"Exactly. Speaking of which, the Za family would like to express their gratitude to the Number One Scholar." Chen Hong covered the corners of his lips with his hands and laughed.
"Oh, so my nephew has helped my father-in-law, right? My nephew has hidden it too deeply and has never told us."
When Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis heard this, they couldn't help but feel happy. Now it's good. With this kind of relationship, there is really no need for introduction. The good nephew actually helped Eunuch Chen. This is better than the effect of introduction. Waiting for Eunuch Chen
When I return to Beijing, I will naturally help my nephew to speak kindly to the Holy Master. Haha, maybe because of my nephew, Eunuch Chen will also speak kindly to us.
When Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis thought of this, the smiles on their faces suddenly bloomed. This was really good news.
"Ahem!" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw the smiles on the faces of Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis.
I know they both think too much.
When I was in Jingnan, I did "help" Eunuch Chen and "entertain" his godson well.
Eunuch Chen and his godson must thank me from the bottom of their hearts, gritting their teeth and chewing through the blood in their gums.
"Haha, the number one scholar is doing good deeds without asking for fame." Chen Hong covered the corners of his mouth, smiling like a chrysanthemum.
"That was more than a month ago. At that time, the Za family was ordered to go out to buy pearls. The Za family was on business in Suzhou. There was a thief who pretended to be the unfilial son of the Za family. He defrauded and robbed in Jingnan County and ruined the reputation of the Za family. He was the number one scholar.
Lang was aware of everything and saw through the man who pretended to be the adopted son of the Za family. He caught the thief, beat him up, and handed him over to the Za family. This protected the reputation of the Za family and did a great favor to the Za family. Otherwise, it would have ruined the reputation of the Za family.
It's a small matter, but if it affects the emperor's mission and damages the holy name, then the Za family will be the sinners of the ages. Fortunately, the number one scholar came to help."
Chen Hong said to the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai with a smile, his words filled with gratitude to Zhu Ping'an.
"My father-in-law is so polite. It's just a small effort." Zhu Ping'an said modestly, "It's okay for you to be humble. Who is afraid of who?" He continued, "Eunuch Chen is diligent in his work, impartial and law-abiding. He has never committed any crimes. He has a reputation as a virtuous man. If it is true,
Mr. Chen's righteous son must be as upright and honest as Mr. Chen, and he can be loyal in running errands. How can he be indulging in doing errands, and diligently cheating, bullying others, and taking away the property of his beloved people? That's why I immediately saw that that person was an imposter.
Mr. Chen’s righteous son has ruined Mr. Chen’s reputation.”
"Ah, someone actually dares to pretend to be a righteous son, deceive, defraud, and plunder. He really deserves death."
Duke Guo of Wei was filled with righteous indignation.
"No, my nephew is still young and his heart is too kind. A beating would be too cheap for him. He should be killed with a cane."
The Marquis of Linhuai echoed.
The corner of Zhu Ping'an's mouth couldn't help but twitch again. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the corner of Chen Hong's covered mouth seemed to be twitching too.
"Eunuch Chen, there is no need to say thank you. It is an honor for my nephew to be able to help my father-in-law. Otherwise, how could he get to know my father-in-law? This is his blessing. My father-in-law is a popular person in front of the Holy Father.
A kind word from my father-in-law to my nephew in front of the Holy One is better than the hard work of my nephew for several years."
The Marquis of Linhuai said to Chen Hong flatteringly. After saying this, he pulled Zhu Ping'an forward to propose a toast, "My dear nephew, why don't you offer me a glass of wine to my father-in-law."
Zhu Ping'an twitched his lips and said nice things. Thank God if he didn't slander me and say bad things in front of the Holy Master.
On the face of it, Zhu Ping'an still smiled and stepped forward to toast, "To Mr. Chen."
"Please, the number one scholar. If you want to thank me, I won't say much more. In the future, if the number one scholar needs anything from the Zajia, just ask, and the Zajia will never refuse." Chen Hong raised his glass, clinked it, and drank it down.
"Why don't you thank your father-in-law quickly?" The Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai were very excited when they heard this.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to hand over his hand and give up.
