Chapter 992 Persuasion


Chapter 992 Persuasion

"Good morning, senior brother. Ping An is so abrupt and uninvited. I hope you can forgive me." Zhu Pingan smiled and greeted Yang Jisheng.

"Haha, Zihou and I are so polite. Why are you doing this? It's rare for someone to not dislike the simplicity of the humble house. Please come in." Yang Jisheng smiled and returned the courtesy, patted Zhu Pingan's shoulder gently, and invited Zhu Pingan to come in. .

After entering the courtyard, the two briefly exchanged greetings, and then Yang Jisheng invited Zhu Ping'an into the main room.

The hall is very simple, with only tables and chairs. Yang Jisheng must have been having breakfast just now. The breakfast on the table has not been removed yet. There is a bowl of gruel, a plate of pickled radish, a nest of coarse grain steamed buns, and nothing else, nothing more.

It’s hard to believe that this is the breakfast meal of a fifth-rank official. The breakfast meals of ordinary people in the capital are much richer than this. Zhu Pingan knew that this was because Yang Jisheng sent all his meager salary back to the college he founded when he was demoted to Didao to subsidize meals for local students.

In addition to the spare bowls and chopsticks, there are two sets of used tableware on the table. One set is used by Yang Jisheng, and the other set should belong to Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Yang probably just heard someone visiting and avoided suspicion. , take refuge in the bedroom.

This is the etiquette system of feudal society.

When men come, women should avoid suspicion.

Zhu Ping'an has long been accustomed to and adapted to the code of conduct of feudal society, and he has taken it for granted.

"Zihou, you came so early, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? If you don't mind, why not have breakfast together?" Yang Jisheng invited, "It's just that the breakfast here is a bit simple, I'm afraid Zihou is not used to it. "

"Haha, it's true that Senior Brother said it right. It's true that Ping An hasn't had breakfast yet. Senior Brother is so kind, so Ping An won't be polite at all." Zhu Ping'an laughed, not at all. You're welcome to lie. He sat down directly and took the spare bowl to serve himself a bowl of porridge. He said, "It's not simple. Peace comes from the countryside. When I was a child, when the harvest at home was poor, my stomach was full." If you're not full, there's nothing you can't get used to."

Zhu Ping'an was very natural, not artificial at all, and the smile on Yang Jisheng's face became more real and natural.

"Well, this radish is delicious, and it goes best with porridge. It's a match made in heaven. Senior brother, it's really delicious." Zhu Pingan picked up a chopstick and put the pickled radish in his mouth. It was crisp and refreshing, and you could chew it. " It makes a sound of "jishajijibeng", sour and sweet, sweet and fragrant. It is delicious to eat and take another sip of the porridge. It is really a pleasure. Zhu Pingan was full of praise.

Zhu Ping'an's words are really not a compliment. They are really delicious. They taste different from the pickled radish of his grandmother, but they are both delicious.

"Haha, your sister-in-law pickled this radish herself. It goes best with porridge. I can't live without it every day. I'll ask your sister-in-law to put a jar for you later." Yang Jisheng said with a smile and promised to install a jar for Zhu Ping to take away.

“Thank you, senior brother.” Zhu Pingan thanked him profusely.

"It's just pickled radish, it's not worth a few bucks, why are you polite? Oh, by the way, I don't know why I came to ask Brother Yu so early, what do you mean?" Yang Jisheng shook his head with a smile, and then brought the topic to the main topic. .

"Senior brother, I don't care, I have to talk about Ping An." Zhu Pingan put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and replied with a serious look on his face.

"Oh, what do you think Zihou has to say? Brother Yu is all ears." When Yang Jisheng saw this, he also put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Senior brother, are you going to impeach Mr. Yan Song?" Zhu Ping'an looked up at Yang Jisheng and asked softly in an affirmative tone.

Zhu Ping'an's voice was very soft and inaudible, but to Yang Jisheng's ears, it was like a thunder.

"Zihou, who did you listen to?" Yang Jisheng's expression changed in an instant.

Is it true that the news has been leaked? !

It shouldn’t be.

I have done a good job of keeping my confidentiality confidential.

The news that I wanted to impeach Yan Song, I only told Zhang Juzheng and other three trustworthy people. Although Shuda and others did not participate in the signature, based on their character and my understanding of them, they would never Tell others the news, otherwise you won't tell them the news.

How did that Zihou know? !

If the news leaked out, it would be a big problem. I originally wanted to catch Yan Song off guard. If Zihou was able to get the news, wouldn't it be more likely that Yan Song would have gotten the news by now? Then how can you catch him off guard?

It was such a big deal that Yang Jisheng could not help but feel nervous.

"Ping'an was not sure at first, but now he is sure." Zhu Ping'an sighed softly, "Brother, don't be nervous. No one told Ping'an, Ping'an guessed it himself. Yesterday's Master's mother's birthday party, senior brother fasted and did not eat meat or wine, and later he Listening to the senior brother's sarcastic remarks about his uncle's wise act of protecting himself, Wensheng and Ziwei said that the senior brother had something big to do the day after tomorrow, so he fasted for a safe and happy life. I drank too much wine at the banquet and my head was dizzy. I didn't think much about it at the time. Later, when I got home and took a bath, I felt a little relieved. I thought about what my senior brother did at the birthday banquet and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. If it hadn't been for the curfew, I would have been safe last night. I came to visit my senior brother. Ping An knew that my senior brother had no sacrifices or rituals at home recently. I thought of my senior brother's impeachment at the Supreme Court last year. In front of Luan, he also fasted for three days and committed suicide to impeach him. Before, when he impeached other officials, he had never been so prepared. Only when impeaching a powerful person like Qiu Luan, he fasted to show his determination to die. . Since then, the scope has been narrowed a lot, plus Ping An’s understanding of senior brother, what senior brother has always done to Yan Song Ping An was so angry that he made such speculations. In fact, Ping An was just guessing before the senior brother opened his mouth. But now it is certain. >
So that’s it. Yang Jisheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and admired Zhu Pingan’s keen sense of smell.

“Brother, Ping An came here today for this very reason.” Zhu Ping An raised his head and looked at Yang Jisheng with a serious look on his face.

"I wonder what Zihou has to say? Sheng, I am all ears." Yang Jisheng stood up from the table and raised his hands.

Just guessing that he might impeach Yan Song, Zhu Ping'an made a special trip to his house as soon as the curfew ended. Yang Jisheng was deeply moved by his good intentions.

Comparing what Zhang Juzheng and others did to protect themselves, pretend to be confused, and draw clear boundaries, Yang Jisheng felt even more emotional.

"Ping'an, please think twice before you act. I also hope that, brother, I hope you will pay more attention to it. Your immortal career will eventually be done by the deacon."

Zhu Ping'an stood up, bowed, and spoke sincerely.

Zhu Ping'an knew very well that Yang Jisheng's impeachment would mean three years in prison, inhuman torture, separation between heaven and man forever, and no return.

I recall that when I first came to the capital to take the exam and had no way to stay at any inn, Yang Jisheng's heart-warming words on the ancient road, "Hey, that young man on horseback, if you don't mind, you can live with me" are still vaguely echoing in my ears.

Such a man with a warm heart, loyal service to the country, plead for the people, and full of courage should not end in such a tragedy.

That's why Zhu Ping'an advised Yang Jisheng to think twice before acting, and he would like to pay more attention to the fact that immortal deeds should ultimately be done by deacons. That is to say: I hope that senior brother will think twice and increase his willingness to stay. After all, immortal achievements still need to be done by taking power. I hope Yang Jisheng can change his mind and remain useful to serve his family and country. (End of this chapter)
