Chapter 1584 Talking about Zhang Jing, Snake Chen Hong
"According to the custom, if the Holy One wants to appoint you as the governor-general, you must first dismiss him from the Ministry of War, and then appoint him to be the governor-general of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong and Guangxi, etc. The provincial military affairs department is dedicated to suppressing Japanese invaders. This time, according to your responsibilities, we will carry out the task effectively. If you don't want to be dismissed from your official position, demotion and fines will be sufficient, and if it is not enough, you will be demoted. The reason why I dismissed you is to facilitate your appointment as governor-general. "
Zhu Ping'an is here. With a questioning look in his eyes, Zhang Jing slowly opened his mouth to explain, 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."
"Maybe it's the lower official's wishful thinking." Zhu Pingan shrugged slightly and said again. He cupped his hands and said, "However, I have no intention of entertaining my lord."
"You are nonsense, so let me just listen to it." Zhang Jing nodded noncommittally.
"However, if your Excellency is appointed as a Governor-General, please remember that you owe me a glass of wine. When the officer comes to ask for it, please do not invite me to accept the rejection." Zhu Ping'an said thoughtfully. joked.
"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 have this blessing."
Zhang Jing stroked his beard and smiled.
"That's what we agreed. Sir, please prepare the wine." Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a confident smile.
When Governor Zhang Jing is appointed, Zhu Pingan believes that he will leave a deep and indelible good impression on Zhang Jing.
Accurately predicted that Japanese pirates would attack Yingtian, and accurately predicted that Zhang Jing would be appointed governor-general
To talk about strategizing and miraculous calculations may be a bit exaggerated, but after these two events, if he has any suggestions in the future, Zhang Jing will definitely I will consider it carefully instead of rushing to deny it 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.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to be with you." Zhu Ping'an said to Zhang Jing apologetically.
"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.
"My dear 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, Zhuangyuan Lang." Chen Hong smiled very gently, "The Duke and the Marquis do not need to introduce us to each other. Although the Za family meets Zhuangyuan Lang for the first time today, but But it’s not the first time that they have dealt with each other.”
“Oh, this is not the first time that my father-in-law and my nephew have dealt with each other.” Wei Guogong and Linhuai Hou 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 is 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 the two of them 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 seeking fame.” Chen Hong covered the corners of his mouth. , smiling face 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. A thief pretended to be the unfilial son of the Za family and cheated, robbed and corrupted Jingnan County. The reputation of the Za family was that the Number One Scholar knew everything and saw through the person pretending to be the adopted son of the Za family. He caught the thief, beat him up, and handed him over to the Za family. The family has maintained the reputation of the Zajia family and done a great favor to the Zajia family. Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter to ruin the reputation of the Zajia family. If it affects the emperor's mission and damages the saint's reputation, then the Zajia family will be a sinner through 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.
"My father-in-law is so polite, it's just a small effort." Zhu Ping'an said modestly, "You are so humble and I am willing to take advantage of the snake. Who is afraid of who?" He continued, "Eunuch Chen is diligent in handling errands, is impartial and law-abiding, and never commits any crime. With a virtuous name, if he is really the righteous son of Chen Gong, he will be like Chen Gong. How could my father-in-law be so upright and loyal in running errands, so he would not be satisfied with running errands, but would be diligent in cheating, bullying others, and seizing the property of good people. That's why I saw through at once that the man was pretending to be Eunuch Chen's adopted son, corrupting others. Father-in-law’s reputation.”
"Ah, someone actually dares to pretend to be the righteous son of the father-in-law, deceive, deceive, and rob. He really deserves death."
Wei Guogong said indignantly.
"No, my nephew is still young and too kind-hearted. A beating would be too cheap for him. He should be killed with a cane."
The Marquis of Linhuai agreed.
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 too.
"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 the father-in-law to his nephew in front of the Holy Father is better than the hard work of the nephew for several years. "
The Marquis of Linhuai said to Chen Hong flatteringly. After saying this, he pulled Zhu Ping'an forward to toast, "My dear nephew, I still don't have a toast to my father-in-law."
Zhu Ping'an hesitated. He still has nice words on his lips. Thank God if he doesn't slander me or speak ill of me in front of the Holy Father.
But on the surface, Zhu Ping'an still smiled and stepped forward to toast, "To Eunuch Chen."
"The number one scholar, please. If you want to thank me, I won't say much more. In the future, the number one scholar will be yours." If the Zajia is needed, 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.
My work has been a bit slack recently, and I have finally been able to update steadily for a period of time. Thank you to all the book friends for your persistence. Thanks to Du Ji, Cao Mianzi, Wen Xiang Little Bookworm and other book friends for their recommendations and rewards. I am very grateful.
