Rise From the Humble

You think too much.

Master Xu Jie is using retreat to advance, bending to extend, and doing Goujian's actions, with the purpose of subverting you.

Judging from Zhao Wenhua's attitude towards Master Xu Jie, Master Xu Jie has successfully gained the trust of Party Yan. Zhu Ping'an really wants to order a cool song for them at this moment.

"Haha, Zihou, are you worried about Brother Donglou and the others? Don't worry, I'll endorse you, and your master Xu Jie will help you make peace. As long as you bow your head to Brother Donglou, everything will be settled over a drink. No, if it doesn’t work, then just two games. I think you’ll be fine if Donglou gives you a drink at most. Donglou doesn’t dare to go against his adoptive father’s will. His adoptive father cherishes your talents and deliberately recruits you; I I have an intuition that Donglou will be sympathetic to you, you are both extremely smart people."

Zhao Wenhua smiled, thinking that Zhu Ping'an was worried about Yan Shifan's retaliation, so he comforted himself confidently.

No, I'm not worried about Yan Shifan, but I simply don't want to join your Yan Party.

Firstly, I am determined to eliminate the hidden dangers of party strife for the Ming Dynasty; secondly, now your Yan Party seems to be in bloom, but in fact it is a raging fire. History has long destined the destruction of Yan Party. Master Xu is a special case. He is now the elder of the cabinet. Now, he is the gravedigger of the Strict Party. Now that he has joined the Strict Party, he will not have to worry about being implicated by the Strict Party in the future. But it will be different if I join. The Strict Party can still last for nearly ten years. I am now the acting deputy envoy. Every promotion in the future will be deeply marked by the Strict Party. When the Strict Party is destroyed in the future, I am destined to be implicated and liquidated. This is the general trend. , even Master Xu is powerless.

If we have different paths and do not work together, I am destined not to join the Strict Party.

"Thank you teacher for your appreciation, and thank you Mr. Yan Ge for your magnanimity. It's just that the students have few talents and limited learning."

Zhu Pingan politely declined.

When Zhao Wenhua heard this, he was surprised at first, and then his brows furrowed visibly, with an obviously displeased expression on his face.

When leaving Beijing, Yan Shifan came to him specifically and asked him to kill Zhu Pingan. Now that he was recruiting Zhu Pingan on behalf of the Yan Party, he was already risking offending Yan Shifan, but he did not expect that Zhu Pingan was so ignorant of praise.

"Zihou, you are a smart man, do you know what you are doing now?" Zhao Wenhua looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Students know." Zhu Pingan raised his head and looked at Zhao Wenhua.

"You are very talented and knowledgeable. After being demoted to Jingnan County Magistrate, you still rose rapidly in less than half a year and became the fourth-grade deputy envoy today. If you think that your talent and knowledge can allow you to ignore everything, , then you are too ignorant and too arrogant. The reason why you can rise again in Jingnan is not because your talents and knowledge make you ignore everything, but because you were ignored after you were demoted to Jingnan." Zhao Wenhua said expressionlessly, with a strong warning in his words.

"Student understands." Zhu Pingan nodded and said slowly, he knew what Zhao Wenhua said.

"You understand, do you still want to persist?" Zhao Wenhua looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes and continued, "Before I left Beijing, Brother Donglou paid a special visit to me. Do you know what Donglou told me?"

I won't specifically tell you to strangle me, right?

Yan Shifan wouldn't think so highly of me, would he? I'm not that proud yet, am I? Zhu Ping'an said suspiciously.

"Donglou told me again and again that after I come to Jiangnan, I must suppress you and strangle you." Zhao Wenhua said word by word.

It's really an honor to be so valued by a genius in history, Zhu Ping'an said with emotion.

However, I now somewhat understand Zhao Wenhua’s anger. When Yan Shifan repeatedly told him to strangle and pin him to death, it was really not easy for him to go against Yan Shifan’s wishes and recruit me privately on behalf of the Yan Party.

Of course, this is because Zhao Wenhua's status is high enough, especially after serving as the Imperial Envoy to the Sea, he is one of the best among the Yan Party. Facing the Yan Shifan, the prince of the Yan Party, Zhao Wenhua also has a certain degree of autonomy; in addition, this is because Zhao Wenhua knows Yan Song Yan Song cherishes my talent and has never given up recruiting me. That's why Zhao Wenhua went against Yan Shifan's intention to kill me and instead recruited me.

Of course, despite this, Zhao Wenhua's recruitment was still quite difficult and quite courageous.

That's why Zhao Wenhua was so angry when faced with his rejection.

"Zihou, do you know the consequences of refusing? Even if I care about the friendship between teachers and students and give you some tolerance, I am in the Strict Party. Although I have a certain influence, compared to Donglou, I am only a low-key person. Others You will only listen to Donglou and not me. We have too many people. Do you know how many of our people there are in Jiangnan? Relatively speaking, Zihou, you are too insignificant. One person is not a concern. Three people can become tigers, but what about ten people, a hundred people, or a thousand people? Zihou, do you know the consequences?"

Zhao Wenhua stood up, looked down at Zhu Pingan, his figure enveloped Zhu Pingan, and said slowly.

I know the consequences, I've always known the consequences.

Zhu Pingan raised his head and said sincerely, "Teacher, I have no intention of being an enemy of you. Now we have a common enemy, and that is the Japanese pirates! Instead of using your power to deal with your own people, why not gather all your strength to deal with the Japanese pirates?!"

"Zihou, your importance has nothing to do with the overall situation of suppressing the Japanese." Zhao Wenhua shook his head disapprovingly.

An acting deputy envoy of the Prosecution and Prosecution Department, leading the training of the Zhejiang Army, with only two thousand people under his command. Well, it seems that he is indeed not qualified now. Zhu Pingan laughed at himself, but Zhu Pingan I believe that I and the Zhejiang Army will surprise everyone, they will.

"Donglou has noticed you. I believe that everyone else except me has also received Donglou's message. Zihou, you are fighting against a crowd with one person. Even if you are not like a mantis trying to use a chariot, it is no different from an egg hitting a stone."

Zhao Wenhua shook his head at Zhu Pingan and sighed.

"On the contrary, if you join the Yan Party, you are not an enemy, but one of our own. Our resources are your resources, and our connections are your connections. With us protecting you, you can thrive. As far as the current situation is concerned, you have the civil and military strategies, and I have the power granted by the Holy Spirit. If you come to assist me, I can grant you full trust. With us here, you can give me money if you want it, and I can give you food if you want it. If you want soldiers, give them to soldiers. No one can block your way. You can show off your talents to the fullest in Jiangnan. This increasingly rampant Japanese invasion will become a stepping stone for you and me, teachers and students, to achieve success."

Zhao Wenhua patted Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the southeast, and said confidently and beguilingly.
