Rise From the Humble

"According to the usual practice, if your Majesty wants to appoint you as the governor-general, you must first relieve him from the Ministry of War, and then appoint him to be the governor-general of military affairs in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, and specialize in suppressing Japanese invaders. This time, according to your decision, If you bear the responsibility, you will not be dismissed from the official position. Demotion and fine are enough, or demotion is enough. The reason why you are dismissed from your post is to facilitate the appointment of your Excellency as the Governor-General."

Zhu Ping'an slowly explained under Zhang Jing's questioning gaze, with a look of confidence and certainty on his face.

Of course he was confident, because Zhu Pingan knew that this was the historical process for Zhang Jing to be appointed governor-general. According to historical records, the imperial court proposed the establishment of a governor-general, and the Holy Emperor ordered Zhang Jing to be relieved of his previous post as minister of the Ministry of War. The governor-general of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Huguang provinces was responsible for the military affairs of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Huguang provinces.

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 speculation."

"Perhaps this is just wishful thinking." Zhu Ping'an 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 the 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 joked thoughtfully.

"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 smiled.

"Then it's agreed, sir, you have to prepare the wine." 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 predicted that Japanese pirates would attack Yingtian, and accurately predicted that Zhang Jing would 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 Pingan 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 to be with you." 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.

"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 this is the first time for the Za family to meet the Number One Scholar today, it is not the first time they have dealt with the Number One Scholar." ”

"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 also like to thank 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? 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 to introduce him. The good nephew actually helped Eunuch Chen, which is better than the effect of introduction. When Eunuch Chen returns to Beijing, he will naturally help the good nephew to speak well in front of the saints. Haha, maybe because of the good nephew, Eunuch Chen will also give us a few good words. .

When Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis thought of this, the smiles on their faces suddenly bloomed. This was really good news.

"Ahem." Zhu Pingan 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, the kind of gratitude that gnashes their teeth and chews through the 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 and cheated and plundered in Jingnan County. He ruined the reputation of the Za family. He was the number one scholar. Lang was very aware of the situation 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 Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis with a smile, his words filled with gratitude to Zhu Ping'an.

"Eunuch, you are 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 loyal as Mr. Chen in running errands. How could he be indulging in doing errands and be diligent in cheating, bullying others, and seizing 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, deceive, and plunder. He really deserves death."

Wei Guogong 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 as well.

"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 Master 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 the corner of his mouth and said something nice. 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 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.

The work has been a little slack recently, and I can finally update it steadily for a while. Thank you all book friends for your persistence. I would like to thank Du Ji, Cao Mianzi, Wen Xiang Xiao Bookworm and other book friends for their recommendations and rewards. I am very grateful.
