Chapter 1590 The Uncrowned King of Jiangnan
Sure enough, the next second, Zhu Ping'an heard the sound of Chen Hong's duck voice ringing again by the river.
"Master Zhang Jing, please come forward to receive the order." Chen Hong shouted loudly and solemnly.
What? ! Zhang Jing accepted the order?!
After listening to Chen Hong's words, the officials couldn't believe their ears. They opened their mouths in surprise and were stunned.
Why did Zhang Jing need to receive the order before leaving? Why not announce the order four days ago? Also, Zhang Jing, Master Zhang, had already been dismissed by order, so why did he need to receive the order again?! Is dismissal not enough? Do we need to punish him again? Or is Mr. Zhang's luck in his fortune?! But, that's not right. If that's the case, why not do it in one step?! Why wait three days to announce the decree again? !
The minds of all the officials were full of excuses.
When Zhang Jing heard Chen Hong's words, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes burst with fire. He couldn't help but think of the scene on the day of the reception banquet when Zhu Pingan was holding a wine glass to congratulate him, and what he said. After a while, he said, "I will be a lower official." Congratulations, Your Excellency, and congratulations to Your Excellency. It is inevitable to add the Governor of Jiangnan. The first choice is Your Excellency. It is because Your Excellency has been dismissed that I am more sure that the Governor-General is Your Excellency."
Is it true? Was he right? !
Zhang Jing couldn't help but feel excited. Adrenaline hormones were secreted rapidly as if a water pump had been installed.
He subconsciously looked at the crowd, trying to find where Zhu Ping'an was, but there were too many people and he couldn't find it at a glance.
However, Zhang Jing is also a giant in the ups and downs of the officialdom. He knows that receiving the order is the first priority now, and it will not be too late to wait until he receives the order. If you neglect to accept the order at this time, it will be a big deal if the outline comes online.
Immediately, Zhang Jing tidied up his student uniform (because he was dismissed and it was inappropriate to wear official uniform, so he wore the student uniform), took three steps forward, and said the words in his mouth. He said in a voice, "Your Majesty, Zhang Jing, accepts the decree. Long live my emperor."
When the last word "Sui" fell, Zhang Jing just walked to the front, lifted up the hem of his clothes, and knelt on the ground to wait for the reception. purpose.
"Master Zhang, the Zajia family is also following orders to announce this imperial edict today. Before leaving the capital, the Holy Father has given instructions for the Zajia family and others to observe carefully after reading the first edict of dismissal to you. You have three days to see whether you are resentful, whether you have given up on yourself, whether you can still eat, if Mr. Zhang If you are not resentful, have given up on yourself, and are still able to eat, then this second imperial edict will be read to you; if you are resentful, have not given up on yourself, and cannot obey, then this imperial edict will be brought back to the capital by the Zajia and returned to the Holy Master." Chen Hong smiled slightly. He smiled, raised his orchid fingers, and slowly said to Zhang Jing, giving a brief explanation.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised. What was the content of this imperial edict? There was still such a test.
The inspection lasted three days, and the inspection was so careful! So tricky!
I think the content of this imperial edict must be very important. It will probably be shocking if it is read out.
As for Zhang Jing, after hearing what Chen Hong said, Zhang Jing couldn't help but shed a cold sweat in his heart. It was really dangerous.
Fortunately, Zhu Ping'an said congratulations to himself last time. Although I didn't believe it at the time, it at least gave me a glimmer of hope. This glimmer of hope is like a star in the dark night sky, keeping me from sinking.
Originally, on the day of his dismissal, he planned to go home and spend more time with his old wife. However, after hearing Zhu Pingan's words, he felt a ten thousandth of hope and deep unwillingness in his heart. Unable to let go of the common people in Jiangnan, he spent that night in the study, continuing to study the Japanese invasion and the deployment to suppress them, and compiled them into a volume. If there is a miracle and I have fulfilled my one ten thousandth hope, these information will be of great use in the future; if there is no miracle, these information will be given to the incoming Governor-General for his reference, and my many years of hard work will not be in vain. . In the next three days, I was doing all this work, but I didn't have the time to give up on myself or feel resentful.
As for eating, maybe I work too hard, but my appetite is better than before.
Today, Chen Hongneng declared to himself, which shows that he has passed the test. Thinking of this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but thank Zhu Ping'an in his heart.
Thinking about it now, if it weren't for Zhu Ping'an's congratulations, today's consequences would really not be optimistic.
At this time, Chen Hong raised his orchid finger and continued: "In the past three days, the Zajia family and others seemed to be traveling around, but in fact they have been secretly observing Mr. Zhang's every move. By imperial order, Please forgive me, Mr. Zhang.”
When everyone heard this, their mouths opened even wider.
I didn’t expect that Chen Hong and the others’ three days of traveling around mountains and rivers to receive gifts turned out to be a pretense. The real purpose was to secretly observe Zhang Jing’s words and deeds.
Yes, they are accompanied by so many factory guards. These people are good and masters of monitoring. You have no secrets as long as they let you.
I don’t know how they observed during the past three days. Did Mr. Zhang Jing have any complaints? Have you given up on yourself? ! Can you still eat? !
Actually, this test is a bit tricky, even difficult. According to common sense, when an official is dismissed, there will be some complaints, some self-abasement, and some affect on appetite.
I don’t know if Mr. Zhang Jing has passed the test
I’m dizzy. I almost forgot. Eunuch Chen just said that if he passes the test, he will declare the edict. If he doesn’t pass the test, he will take the edict back to the capital and hand it over to the emperor. Now Chen Since Hong wants to announce the decree, it proves that Mr. Zhang has passed the test.
Master Zhang, indeed Master Zhang, everyone could not help but look at Zhang Jing with admiration.
“After the imperial edict was read out that day, Mr. Zhang returned home. At night, he was still studying the matter of suppressing Japanese invaders in his study. ! Even though he was dismissed, Mr. Zhang did not give up on himself, let alone Resentment, but still caring about the country and the people of Jiangnan, eating as usual, is really admirable. So, the Zajia reads this imperial edict to you. "
Chen Hong said slowly, and he didn't know when he had taken it out. A roll of imperial edict was slowly unfolded in front of everyone.
Everyone stared intently, not daring to take a breath, for fear of missing any word of the imperial edict.
"The emperor was entrusted with the mission of heaven, and the edict said: Japanese pirates are rampant in the southeast, and the people are miserable. In order to suppress the Japanese pirates and save the people from fire and water, Zhang Jing is specially ordered to governor Shandong, South Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Huguang , the armies of Guangdong and Guangxi are responsible for fighting against Japanese invaders, and they are given the power to mobilize troops, make decisions when the opportunity arises, and act expediently. I appreciate this!"
Chen Hong unfolded the imperial edict and read it loudly. .
As soon as Chen Hong finished speaking, there were sounds of gasping and swallowing of saliva from all around.
Shocked!
Shocking!
The officials seemed to have been struck by five thunders, standing there blankly, with their mouths as big as boxes.
The governor-general of Shandong, Southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Huguang, and the armies of Guangdong and Guangxi is actually the governor-general of seven provinces! The Holy One actually appointed Zhang Jing as the governor of seven provinces! !
This is not an ordinary frontier official, there has never been a frontier official in ancient times!
Holding half of the richest country in the Ming Dynasty, and nearly half of the Ming Dynasty’s military strength! This is simply the uncrowned king of Jiangnan!
"I thank the Lord for your kindness. I will do my best and die. I will swear to the death to repay the trust of Your Majesty. Long live my emperor!"
Zhang Jing couldn't hide his excitement and kowtowed to express his gratitude. His voice trembled. Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes!
At the same time, I was shocked in my heart.
He actually predicted it! Zhu Ping'an is truly worthy of being the number one scholar, a very talented person! !
