Chapter 1975: The imperial decree arrives, promoted
When the Japanese pirates were publicly punished, Zhu Ping'an also received an imperial edict from the capital and was officially promoted to the right minister of the Yingtian Ministry of War and the governor of Zhejiang.
"You angels have worked hard all the way. I will prepare a few simple meals at home to welcome you angels."
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Ping'an once again thanked the eunuchs who issued the edict and invited them to have a meal at his house.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Zhu. The Zajia family will not be bothered anymore." The chamberlain and his entourage happily accepted.
Li Shu had already organized a banquet. Several eunuchs and factory guards Qian Hu, Bai Hu and Zhu Ping'an were at the main table. The rest of the eunuchs and factory guards, as well as the accompanying sergeants, were eight people per table, and there were ten tables.
.
Although the tables are divided into main tables and secondary tables, the food is exactly the same, rich in color, flavor and flavor.
"The three delicacies of the Yangtze River are the most popular in Jiangnan delicacies. Swordfish is tender, smooth, plump but not greasy; anchovy is called the king of fishes. There is a folk saying that 'braised anchovies are fresh with both ends, and steamed anchovies lure the gods'; puffer fish
The best test for a cook, the taste is fresh and sweet, the meat is fat and tender, and the juice is thick. The taste is even more popular than Mr. Dongpo's saying, "The ground is full of wormwood and the reed buds are short, it's when the puffer fish is ready." Zhu Ping'an said enthusiastically at the table
Invite them to enjoy Jiangnan specialties and introduce to them the deliciousness of various delicacies.
It has to be said that Li Shu is a person who enjoys life very much. Although the cook in the house is not an imperial cook, he is not much inferior.
The delicacies on the table conquered the eunuchs and factory guards present, making them move their index fingers and chopsticks.
The guests and hosts at the table enjoyed themselves.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Zhu, for your warm hospitality. This journey has been dusty and exhausting. Mr. Xiao Zhu's table of delicious food has given us a new lease of life."
The leading eunuch Wang Gonggong said in a half-serious and half-complimentary tone after having had enough wine and food.
"Haha, you angels, you have worked hard all the way, all for the sake of peace. If you can't let all the angels eat and drink well, it would be a sin to be safe."
Zhu Ping'an laughed and said, not modestly saying that a simple meal was not worth mentioning, but jokingly saying that this table of meals was carefully prepared, which highlighted the importance he attached to the angels and his party.
"Haha, I often hear Eunuch Feng say that Mr. Xiao Zhu is funny and humorous. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
The prince said with a smile.
Judging from the tone of voice, he was very familiar with Feng Bao, which was evident from the word "chang". Zhu Ping'an then raised the topic, "Oh, my father-in-law is familiar with Eunuch Feng?"
"Master Xiao Zhu is indeed very smart. The Zajia family only said one sentence, and Master Xiao Zhu guessed the relationship between me and Eunuch Feng. Eunuch Feng and I entered the palace around the same time. We met each other when we were young. We have similar interests and have become good friends.
, we help each other, and our relationship is extraordinary. When he came from the capital, Eunuch Feng even asked me to take care of Mr. Xiao Zhu."
The prince said with a smile.
"Haha, Eunuch Feng's friend is Ping An's friend. Please take care of me in the future." Zhu Ping'an replied with a smile, and then said, "After returning to the palace, please take me to ask Eunuch Feng how he is."
"Definitely, definitely." Wang Gonggong made a pun.
"Oh, I almost forgot. When Eunuch Feng came, he asked me to ask you for advice." Wang Eunuch suddenly remembered.
"It's not a question of asking for advice. Ping An can only give some immature opinions for Eunuch Feng's reference." Zhu Pingan said modestly, and then asked softly, "I wonder what Eunuch Feng is confused about?"
"It is also thanks to Mr. Xiao Zhu that after the establishment of the bed-server system, Eunuch Feng is now very popular in the harem and there are more opportunities. Recently, Eunuch Feng encountered an opportunity to go to the clerk's room."
"In our inner court, the clerk's room is responsible for receiving the daily seals from the Secretary of General Affairs and the seals from the Huijimen Jingguan and various vassal kings. The drafts of the pavilion outside and the stamps inside are all subject to the emperor's decree and approval.
The records are issued from the clerk's office. The clerk's office has ten chief clerks to handle the above-mentioned affairs. Recently, Eunuch Xia, one of the ten chief clerks in the clerk's office, fell ill and left the palace, leaving a position vacant. Eunuch Feng had the opportunity to take over.
"
"I don't know if Mr. Xiao Zhu knows that if our father-in-law wants to be the Chief of Ceremonies, he usually takes the position from the clerk's office. Our father-in-law's biggest dream is to become the Chief of Ceremonies. If he can become the Chief of Ceremonies and supervise the eunuchs, he will die without regrets.
Already."
"However, to succeed Eunuch Xia and serve as one of the ten people in charge of the clerk's office, Eunuch Feng needs to hand over the errands of the Jingsi Office, including turning over the signs. Eunuch Feng is reluctant to leave the Jingsi Office.
Especially for the task of looking for signs, but I also want to go to the library, and now I don’t know what to do.”
"When Eunuch Feng came, he asked me to ask Mr. Xiao Zhu for advice on this matter."
Wang Gonggong briefly explained Feng Bao's current predicament and asked Zhu Pingan for his opinion on this matter.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you go to the clerk's office, you have to give up the service room and the errand of turning over brands.
After the brand-turning system came into being, Feng Bao benefited greatly. All the concubines in the harem wooed him for their own brand, and he became very popular in the harem for a while. If he was allowed to hand over this job and hand over this achievement to others,
He really couldn't bear it.
But it's too tempting to go to the Clerk's Office. You should know that most of the eunuchs in the Clerk's Office come from the Clerk's Room. There are more opportunities to go to the Clerk's Office from the Clerk's Room than in other departments. It can be said that they have only half a foot in the door.
"Currently, Eunuch Huang is the chief eunuch, and the eunuchs such as Zhangyin, Bingbi, and Suitang are all famous eunuchs such as Lu Eunuch. Huang Eunuch and others are all young and powerful, and they will not be able to do anything for a long time in the future.
People can shake their status. The room for advancement at the top level is extremely limited. If Eunuch Feng goes to the clerk's office, he is destined to have to work in the clerk's office for a long time, and there will be no chance of promotion."
"The eunuchs in charge of the clerk's office have a lot of work and work behind the scenes, so they have less chance to shine. On the contrary, the eunuchs in charge of the clerk's office mostly live in the front and often show their faces in front of the emperor and the mistress of the harem. As long as they do their job well, they will definitely be punished by the emperor.
The mistress of the harem sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart. Jane is in the heart of the emperor and Jane is in the heart of the queen. Why worry about not being promoted and getting ahead in the future."
"After four or five years, when you have accumulated enough, and then seek the opportunity to go to the clerk's room, you will no longer be the top ten eunuchs in charge, but the eunuchs in charge of the clerk's room. If you can be promoted to the inner study room, then go to the ceremonial eunuch
It should be a done deal."
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion for Eunuch Feng's reference."
Zhu Pingan thought seriously for a moment and gave his personal opinions on the matter for Feng Bao's reference. According to history, Feng Bao's stage of power was not in the Jiajing Dynasty, but in the new dynasty after King Yu ascended the throne. When the time comes in the future,
Then give him some advice and ask him to go to King Yu early to wait for the dragon to rise.
"I would like to thank Mr. Xiao Zhu on behalf of Eunuch Feng. I will definitely bring your opinions to you." Eunuch Wang cupped his fists and thanked you.
