Chapter 889 The imperial edict comes again
I don’t know what day it is. Not long after Zhu Pingan received the imperial edict, when it was almost time to release the Yamen, Wu Yishang received another imperial edict.
"The imperial edict goes to Si Zhi of Wuyi Hall, and Xu Pu, the concubine of Zuo Chunfang in Zhanshi Mansion, receives the edict."
A high-pitched voice sounded like the erhu playing the highest note. In Yiyi, a eunuch who was about fifty years old appeared in front of everyone in Wuyiyi, holding an imperial edict.
Most of the people in Wuyiyi have seen this old eunuch. His surname is Wei and his given name is Muyun. It is a gender-neutral name. Everyone calls him Eunuch Wei. This is a senior eunuch, much more senior than the eunuch who just announced the decree to Zhu Ping'an. Eunuch Wei has been in the palace for more than thirty years, and his official rank in the inner court is much higher than that of the eunuch just now. Half a point.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an has only been in Wuyishan for a short time and has never met this old eunuch.
When he heard others calling him Eunuch Wei, Zhu Ping'an's first reaction was that this person could not be Wei Zhongxian.
But he immediately denied himself. Wei Zhongxian was a great traitor during the reign of Emperor Xizong, and Emperor Xizong would not be born for more than half a century. Let alone him, even his father, Ming Guangzong, would have been born for more than thirty years. He was born later.
As for saying that Wei Zhongxian is a descendant of Eunuch Wei, Zhu Pingan himself laughed. A eunuch has a descendant of Mao Shaan.
Carry on the family line?
In addition to accepting a godson, the eunuch also wants to continue the family line? !
Wait
Godson?
No, the time is wrong, Wei Zhongxian was from the Xizong period, which was still two generations away from now, and his godson was almost the same.
Zhu Ping'an laughed at himself and rejected the idea. It was too unrealistic to have a grandson. It's just the same surname. I think too much. There are hundreds of thousands of people named Wei. I believe there is more than one eunuch named Wei in the palace.
Eunuch Wei is a senior eunuch in the palace. If we talk about his official position in the inner court in detail, he is also a third-rank eunuch.
The target of this imperial edict is only the fifth grade.
Where is the identity gap?
So, after Eunuch Wei entered Wuyi Palace with the imperial edict, he did not go to Zhu Ping'an's room to announce the edict like the eunuch who announced the edict to Zhu Ping'an. Eunuch Wei just waved his whisk and shouted, " After receiving the order, Secretary Zhi of Wuyi Hall and Xu Pu, the concubine of Zuo Chunfang of Zhanshi Mansion, waited in the main hall.
A third-grade chamberlain came to announce an edict to a fifth-grade official. This in itself represents the attitude of the Holy One that attaches great importance to it, which is glorious enough.
Between public affairs and private affairs, one has to carry the airs. After Wei Eunuch entered the Wuyi Hall holding the imperial edict, he put on the airs.
“I’ve met Eunuch Wei.”
Officials in the Wuyi Palace Hall came forward to say hello to Eunuch Wei. The eunuchs are the last people to be offended in the palace, even if they despise the imperfections in their hearts. eunuchs, they should also be treated with courtesy and respect.
Eunuch Wei is also an accomplished old fox in cultivation. He is like Maitreya in front of the Buddha, smiling and dealing with the officials of Wuyi Hall. Eunuch Wei has a very good memory, and he can call out the surname and official position of anyone who meets him, which makes all the officials in Wuyi Palace feel like they are refreshed.
“I met Eunuch Wei.”
Zhu Pingan practiced calligraphy all afternoon, and the rice paper on the table was almost used up. Before getting off work, Zhu Pingan went to the supply and demand office of the main hall to get another pile of rice paper. When receiving the rice paper, Eunuch Wei happened to enter Wuyi Hall. At this moment, everyone was in touch with Eunuch Wei. Zhu Pingan did not want to be too independent and show no aloofness, so he followed the trend and went to Eunuch Wei's place. Look at the face.
"Well, you are Zhu Pingan, right? I heard the kid below talking about you, and when we meet today, you are indeed a young and promising person."
Zhu Pingan is just simple He brushed his face, but he didn't expect Eunuch Wei to say something to him with a smile.
"Ping'an can't be compared to my father-in-law's words of 'young and promising'. In front of my father-in-law, he is just a junior."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head with an honest face.
"Haha." Eunuch Wei glanced at Zhu Pingan with a smile and said nothing, but his gaze was still Zhu Pingan's eyes tightened. The old fox's eyes were so bright. When he looked at each other, Zhu Pingan felt like he was being It was as if he had seen through it.
It seems that none of the old eunuchs in the palace are simple. Also, if they can live to this age safely in such a deep palace that eats people without spitting out their bones, if they don’t have a few brushes and don’t order anyone, With so much ability, how could he survive to this day?
Zhu Ping'an had a simple and honest smile on his face, and he had really made up his mind in his heart. He would have to be extremely careful if he came into contact with any old eunuch in the palace in the future.
Because Eunuch Wei just called everyone by their surname and official position, no one was surprised that Zhu Ping'an's name was called out.
But when they heard Eunuch Wei say that Zhu Pingan was young and promising, many people laughed inwardly.
Haha
Of course Zhu Ping'an is young and promising. He became a lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion at a young age. How can he not be young and promising? Haha, this young and promising life only ends here. Entering Prince Yu's Mansion is like boarding a broken ship that is destined to sink. After King Jing ascends the throne in the future, King Yu who competes with him for the throne will be able to do well, but King Yu will not be able to do well, let alone Zhu Ping'an and others who are former ministers of King Yu.
About a minute or so.
Everyone heard a burst of hurried footsteps. The parties involved, Wuyidian Si Zhi and Zhan Shifu Youchunfang Zuo Shuzi Xu Pu, walked quickly from the inner room.
Xu Pu was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Jiajing. He won the second place that year and was assigned to the Hanlin Academy as soon as he joined the job. Xu Pu came from a noble family, and there were no less than ten people in the family who were serving as officials. They had deep connections with the court, and there was also an uncle who had a sworn relationship with Yan Shifan. In addition, Xu Pu was well-mannered and had strong personal abilities, so he was promoted to official positions step by step. He rose steadily, from Hanlin Academy to Honglu Temple and then to Youchunfang. By this year, Xu Pu, who was in his forties, was already a fifth-rank official.
As early as six years ago, Xu Pu had become the official in Wuyi Palace, and his relationship with Zhu Pingan in Wuyi Palace was hundreds of times deeper. Now, Xu Pu is already the leader of the education department in Wuyidian. He is connected with the Imperial College and is regarded as a department director.
"I am very honored to trouble you to come and announce the edict, Eunuch Wei."
After Xu Pu arrived, he bowed his hands and greeted Eunuch Wei, his voice breathless. This was after receiving the edict. I was tired from walking quickly to pick him up, but my face was glowing red, obviously excited.
Xu Pu was not ignorant of today's imperial edict.
He received the letter this afternoon, but the letter was not sure at that time. It was not until Zhu Ping'an received the imperial edict to be transferred to Prince Yu's Palace as a lecturer that Xu Pu was sure of what he had been seeking for a long time. It's done. (End of chapter)
