Chapter 1582 Congratulations to Zhang Jing, Angry Jing
Although Hai Rui's episode was a bit disappointing, the atmosphere was quickly heated up again by Wei Guogong and other officials. Wei Guogong and a group of officials who were good at dancing, deliberately flattered, and were eloquent. They complimented Chen Hong and other eunuchs so that they were all smiling like chrysanthemums.
It is about 400 meters from Chaotian Palace to the Banquet Restaurant. The trees on both sides of the road are decorated with red silk. The roads are all guarded by police officers to prevent the common people and other people from colliding with Chen Hong and others. As for those who Those who want to file a complaint can't even think about it. They can't even get close within a hundred meters.
A group of officials surrounded Chen Hong and others, walking on the road decorated with red silk, like walking on a red carpet.
Zhu Ping'an was too lazy to come forward and join in the fun, and walked quietly at the end, taking his time to look at the people waiting in front of him.
Chen Hong and other eunuchs who announced the decree deserved the C position. People with high official positions such as Wei Guogong were next to Chen Hong and others, and belonged to the second C position. Other officials were sorted according to their official positions, but there were also some officials with lower official positions but high scheming. Hua Tou approached Chen Hong and other eunuchs and showed positive attitude.
This is just like modern celebrities and Internet celebrities competing for the C position.
Seeing the officials trying their best to compete for the C position, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips and reveal a smile.
If there is a C bit, there is an edge bit.
The officials who were punished by the imperial decree today but were not demoted from their posts are marginalized. The most marginalized is Zhang Jing, who was dismissed from his official position.
Walking on the road, Zhang Jing felt a mixture of emotions.
Looking at Chen Hong, Wei Guogong and others who were surrounded by people in front, Zhang Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
An hour ago, on the way from the Ministry of War to greet the angel, he was surrounded by officials.
Now, only an hour has passed, and everything has changed. The person surrounded by everyone has changed.
As for me, there are so many birds around me, so lonely and no one around me. Surrounding me are only the cold wind and the fallen leaves flying in the cold wind.
What a reality.
It’s really cool to take a break.
Haha, who allowed himself to be dismissed? Just get used to it. Zhang Jing twitched the corner of his mouth and walked forward slowly.
Actually, now he is not willing to join in the excitement of the Jie Feng Banquet. Now he would rather go home and have a home-cooked meal with his old wife, and then shut himself up in the study and have a good sleep. However, after all, He was only dismissed from his official position, but he was not demoted. He still had one foot in the officialdom. It was hard not to go to this banquet. Otherwise, it would appear that he had no magnanimity and could not afford to lose.
Come on, I, Zhang Jing, still have this tolerance. I, Zhang Jing, can still bear the cold tea and other things.
The distance of four hundred meters was actually not that far. It didn't take long for the crowd to arrive at the restaurant.
The entrance of the restaurant is decorated like a wedding room, with big red flowers hanging at the door. The restaurant chef, maid, and waiter have already prepared, and spread a red carpet at the door from a distance. Welcome everyone inside.
Zhu Ping'an walked into the banquet scene and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
Rosewood tables and chairs, ivory chopsticks with luminous cups, four screens with gold embroidery, and top-quality wool carpets on the floor
Cold dishes have been placed on the table, and the ingredients are absolutely fresh. They are all being slaughtered right now, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, walking on the ground, everything is dazzling, and the tables are filled to the brim.
For this feast, the restaurant killed one cow, two pigs, three sheep, thirty geese, thirty ducks, thirty geese, fifty chickens, fifty three-pound seabass, fifty yellow river Carp purchased 30 kilograms of sea cucumbers, 30 kilograms of shark fins, 100 kilograms of abalone, 200 kilograms of eggs, and hundreds of kilograms of various fruits and vegetables.
The banquet seats are arranged according to grades.
Of course Chen Hong was sitting at the main table. The other four eunuchs who announced the decree were surrounded by Wei Guogong and other bigwigs, including the six ministers of Yingtian, Zhang Jiantai, the chief envoy, and the eunuchs guarding Yingtian, Eunuch He and Lin. Huaihou, the censor Hu Zongxian and others accompanied him.
As the first contributor to this Japanese invasion, Zhu Pingan was also placed at the main table to accompany him. With so many big bosses at the table, Zhu Pingan naturally sat at the bottom. Opposite Zhu Ping'an is Hu Zongxian, who also belongs to the lower position.
However, Zhu Ping'an is not the last person sitting at the last seat. The person sitting at the last seat is Zhang Jing.
Although Zhang Jing was dismissed from his official position, he was still the former Minister of War, so he was also placed at the main table.
Zhang Jing further felt the reality at the main table, and further felt the coolness of the tea after people left.
The seats were arranged at the main table. First, Chen Hong and other eunuchs who announced the decree were arranged, then Wei Guogong and other bigwigs, then the accompanying officials, and it was not until the end that he was seated, and he still sat at the last seat.
When the waiter pours tea, he is always the last one to serve it to him Pour tea, luckily, the tea is not cold yet.
Everyone rushed to serve Chen Hong and others, rushed to talk to Chen Hong and others, gathered around to toast Chen Hong and others, and rushed to To compliment Chen Hong and others, Zhang Jing seems to have been forgotten and can only pour and drink by himself
"Master Zhang, I offer you a toast."
Just when Zhang Jing was fully feeling the coolness of the tea, a voice remembered in his ear, and he looked up and saw Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an held the wine glass in both hands and greeted Zhang Jing with a smile.
Zhang Jing slightly felt comforted. It was rare for someone to toast him at this time. It was really not easy.
Well, Zhu Pingan is a good young man. I still like him very much. He is capable and knowledgeable about military matters. Now he seems to have a good character. He is the one who was dismissed. How can he be at this time? Toast yourself, you are not the kind of person who follows the crowd.
"Master Zhu didn't toast to Eunuch Chen, why did he instead toast to me, the dismissed person?" Zhang Jing picked up his wine glass and laughed at himself.
"Congratulations to your lord, sir," Zhu Ping'an said with a smile, holding the wine glass in both hands.
Wood grass!
The self-deprecating smile on Zhang Jing’s face disappeared instantly.
I originally had a good impression of Zhu Pingan, but after hearing Zhu Pingan's words, my favorable opinion immediately turned negative.
Congratulate me? !
I have already been dismissed, and you still come to congratulate me? ! Are you looking for me to have fun and mock someone like me? ! Are you here to step on me and wag your tail to someone for mercy? ! Although I, Zhang Jing, have been dismissed from my post, I am not something anyone can slap on my face! If you want to step on me and get the upper hand, you are looking for the wrong person!
Zhang Jing was already in a bad mood after he was dismissed. On the way, he felt the coldness of tea when people walked away. On the main table, he further felt the coldness of tea when people walked away, and his mood became even worse. .
The reason why I can still sit here without showing any signs of expression, as if I am calm, is entirely due to my profound foundation in Qi nourishing skills.
As a result, Zhu Ping'an's words directly made Zhang Jing break his guard.
Sometimes it's like this, one sentence happens to be the straw that breaks the camel's back, one sentence happens to stir the heart, and one sentence happens to be the opposite, causing people to break their defenses directly.
"Oh, the number one scholar is looking for me to have fun and entertain someone like me. I didn't expect that the number one scholar is such a person. Please forgive me for not being able to enjoy this glass of wine."
Zhang Jing pulled a face, sneered, and put down his wine glass. (End of this chapter)
