"Why are we holding the Meridian Gate Prisoners' Presentation Ceremony?! Isn't this too unusual?! Generally speaking, we have to wait until all the Japanese pirates who invaded our dynasty have been annihilated and driven away, and then we can hold the Meridian Gate Prisoners Presentation Ceremony.
It’s a grand ceremony.”
"Also, how can you award a reward to Zhu Ping'an? You have to award a reward temporarily because he did not kill a good person and take credit for it. That means killing 40,000 Japanese, capturing a Japanese chieftain, sinking, destroying, and capturing more than a hundred Japanese ships, and then...
How can he be rewarded for saving Suzhou City?! He is already the deputy envoy of the Department of Prosecution and Prosecution. If he really wants to be promoted based on his merits, and even two promotions are not enough to continue his merits, then Zhu Pingan will become the procurator.
Envoy, chief envoy, a high-ranking official in the border areas, or be promoted to a high-ranking official in the ministry?! How old is he?!"
"There is no other way. This is the Holy Emperor's oral instruction. We can only follow it. Quickly inform the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials and hurry up to prepare."
After Huang Jin left, all the ministers on duty could not help but chatter for a while, but in the end there was nothing they could do.
There is no way, this is the oral order of Emperor Jiajing, the emperor's golden words, what can they do, they can only implement it.
"Hey, why didn't you see Mr. Ge? Report to Mr. Ge quickly."
"Mr. Yan Ge is concerned about the people who have fled to the suburbs of Beijing after the snowstorm. He went to inspect the soup kitchen set up in the suburbs of Beijing early. He hasn't come back yet, and Mr. Xu Ge has followed him."
"Where's Mr. Lu Ge?"
"Are you confused? It snowed the night before yesterday. Mr. Lu Ge's mother, Mrs. Lu, accidentally caught wind and cold, which triggered asthma. Mr. Lu Ge wrote to ask for leave overnight and took care of Mrs. Lu at home."
A group of ministers wanted to report to Yan Song, Xu Jie and Lu Ben, but the three elders were not in Wuyi Hall because of something else.
For a moment, there was no leader, and all the ministers on duty were like ants on a hot pot, wandering around Wuyi Hall.
"Why is it the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony!" Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs couldn't help but look pale, feeling that things were about to get out of control.
He is a member of the Yan Party. He also received a secret message from the Yan Mansion last night and learned that Jiaxing fell to the defeated Japanese pirates in Suzhou.
A memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan has also been drafted.
However, the Holy Spirit's oral instructions to convene the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony today still made him lose his bearings and panic, feeling that things were beyond his control and beyond his expectations.
No, I have to spread the news quickly, so that Mr. Ge and Mr. Xiaoge can prepare early.
Thinking of this, Wang Shilang hurriedly ran out, eager to spread the news.
"Shilang Wang, why are you in such a hurry?" A minister on duty saw Wang Shilang going out in a hurry and couldn't help but stop him and asked.
"Oh, I seem to have a bad stomach this morning and I'm a little anxious. I'm going to change my clothes." Wang Shilang explained without looking back.
"There is also a dressing room in the palace. If Mr. Wang is in a hurry, wouldn't it be more convenient in the palace?" The minister on duty said in confusion.
"I just went outside to get some medicine. This is an old problem, so I won't bother the imperial doctor. My old servant always has the decoction on hand."
Wang Shilang hurriedly replied, and continued to trot out without looking back, as if his buttocks were on fire.
Wang Shilang ran out of breath, and finally ran out of Xiyuan and found the servants waiting outside. He breathlessly ordered, "Quick, it's urgent. Send me to Yan's Mansion quickly. Don't stop all the way. The sooner the better."
.”
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Wang Shilang's servant waved his whip to drive his horse away, while driving away the people blocking the road in front of him.
The carriage sped along, frightening countless people along the way. Some hawkers who were carrying burdens were even unable to dodge, and their burdens were knocked away by the carriage. The food in the burdens was scattered all over the floor, and the vendors fell to the ground holding their legs and groaning in pain.
The carriage sped past, ignoring it all.
Finally, after hurriedly rushing all the way, he finally felt the Yan Mansion. Regardless of being dizzy from being jolted by the carriage, Wang Shilang endured the strong feeling of vomiting, opened the door curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and because of his lack of skills, he sat down on the ground.
However, this did not affect his loyalty to the Yan Mansion. He got up without any help from his hands and staggered all the way to the Yan Mansion.
"Quick, I have something urgent to report to Mr. Xiao Ge. Get out of the way quickly." Wang Shilang took out his greeting card and shouted.
This greeting invitation was unique to the Yan Party. Yan Shifan had already established rules for his disciples, and no one could stop him from seeing this kind of greeting invitation.
Therefore, Wang Shilang entered the Yan Mansion smoothly and met Yan Shifan under the guidance of the steward.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, something bad has happened, Your Majesty," Wang Shilang said out of breath as soon as he saw Yan Shifan.
"Your Majesty is going to hold a ceremony to present prisoners at the Meridian Gate." Yan Shifan took over the words before Shilang Wang finished speaking.
"ah?!"
When Shilang Wang heard Yan Shifan talk about the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony, he opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless for a long time.
How did Mr. Xiao Ge know that His Majesty was going to hold the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony? I obviously hadn't told him yet.
Also, after Eunuch Huang went to Wuyi Hall to convey the Holy Spirit's oral instructions, I ran out immediately to report the news. In order to send the news to Yan's Mansion as soon as possible, I kept urging the coachman to work harder along the way, and the carriage was full of horses.
He was galloping all the way, regardless of the lives of passers-by, and his speed was already extremely fast.
How could Mr. Xiao Ge have gotten the news before I came to report the news?! How did this become a big deal? I have no idea at all.
"Haha, don't be surprised. My father is able to secure his position as the chief minister of the cabinet. Being well-informed is the most important thing. You must know that if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will win every day."
Yan Shifan smiled slightly, patted the surprised Wang Shilang on the shoulder, and said calmly.
"It's because the official has messed up his position and it's unnecessary." Wang Shilang gasped and said with a sense of disappointment.
He originally wanted to be the first person to report the news to show his loyalty, but he didn't expect that Yan Shifan and the others already knew about it. He had run away all the way in vain, so how could he not feel disappointed.
"No, it is not an unnecessary move. The world will remember what Mr. Wang did today, and my father will also remember it. In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, I hope Mr. Wang will continue to work hard. We are well-informed and cannot do without everyone.
A person like Mr. Wang who cares deeply about our father and son." Yan Shifan patted Wang Shilang on the shoulder again and encouraged and praised him.
"sure."
When Shilang Wang heard Yan Shifan's encouragement, he couldn't help but feel happy, and he hurriedly bowed and expressed his stance.
All I have to say is that I was born as a member of the Yan family and died as a ghost of the Yan family.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, Your Majesty is going to hold a Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony. What should we do? If the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony is held, wouldn't Zhu Ping'an be about to take off?!" Wang Shilang said worriedly.
"It just wants to be held, but it hasn't been held yet. In my eyes, as long as it hasn't happened yet, there is still room for change. Don't mess up your position."
