Chapter 1661 Zihou, long time no see
A group of officials followed Zhang Jing to greet Zhao Wenhua. After Zhao Wenhua disembarked, they paid homage.
"Governor Zhang and all your lords, please get up quickly."
After Zhao Wenhua stood and accepted the gifts from all the officials, he said with a smile, and took a step forward to pull Zhang up. through.
Zhang Jing stood up automatically while Zhao Wenhua was speaking. He didn’t even wait for Zhao Wenhua to reach out, which made Zhao Wenhua’s stretched out hands feel awkward and his smile froze.
"Mr. Zhao has been traveling all the way and arrived at dusk. He must be tired. The official residence has been arranged. Please come to the official residence to rest. I will take care of Mr. Zhao tomorrow."
After Zhang Jing got up, He said calmly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Zhao Wenhua's late arrival.
"Haha, thank you very much Governor Zhang for your concern. I am really lucky and privileged to be able to carry out errands for the Holy Lord. After receiving the order, I was full of energy and could not be tired. I could have arrived at Yingtian an hour earlier. Yes, but I was passing through Linjiang Town. I knew that the talisman paper in Linjiang Town was the best in the world. I was responsible for offering sacrifices to the sea. How could I miss such an excellent sacrifice? We stopped in Linjiang Town, compared many old talisman paper shops, spent some time, and carefully selected some good talisman paper. Although it was a bit complicated and busy, I thought of making more for the sacrifice to the sea. After doing some preparations, I didn’t feel tired at all.”
Zhao Wenhua smiled slightly, refused Zhang Jing’s arrangement, and explained the reason for his late arrival.
In his words, the reason why he was late was all because of the important task of sacrificing the sea and to fulfill the emperor's order.
That's called a diligent and conscientious person.
“No wonder Master Zhao was able to win the trust of the Holy One and entrust Master Zhao with the important task of offering sacrifices to the sea. It turns out that Master Zhao never forgets the important responsibility he shoulders at all times and everywhere. He is really a role model for our generation.”
"We must learn from Mr. Zhao, follow Mr. Zhao, and be a person who puts work first."
After Zhao Wenhua finished speaking, all the officials at the scene began to praise Zhao Wenhua. professionalism.
Zhao Wenhua is an imperial envoy, the well-known son of Yan Songqian, and a heavyweight in the Yan Party. Any identity is enough to make many officials flock to him and praise him.
Zhang Jing snorted and was particularly disdainful of Zhao Wenhua.
Bullshit stopped at Linjiang Town to compare and purchase talisman paper. You accepted an invitation from a wealthy merchant in Linjiang Town. You stayed at the wealthy merchant for nearly an hour before you left with your full load. I don’t know how many generous gifts you received from the wealthy merchant. Some unseen power-money deal was reached, and in order to hide it from others, he bought a few carts of talismans and shipped them on board.
Ever since Zhang Jing became the chief wrathful man of Jiangnan, he has gained great power, and all the troubles in Jiangnan cannot be hidden from him. Zhao Wenhua's every move from Yangzhou to Yingtian was under his control, and was reported at all times.
However, Zhang Jing did not expose Zhao Wenhua's lies on the spot. After all, the other party was now an imperial envoy.
Don’t look at the monk’s face but look at the emperor’s face.
"Since Lord Zhao is not tired, please ask Lord Zhao to move to the Imperial Envoy's Yamen. I have arranged for the etiquette department to prepare a simple meal for Lord Zhao." Zhang Jing said in a calm tone, a formal invitation.
"Please, Mr. Zhao."
A group of officials extended their hands to invite Zhao Wenhua to move to the Imperial Envoy Yamen.
“Thank you, Mr. Zhang, and all my colleagues. It’s not important to catch up with the wind and wash away the dust. It’s my duty to have the opportunity to meet all the talents and to have the help of all the talents to complete the important tasks of the Holy Emperor. "
Zhao Wenhua glanced at the officials, said with a smile, and put a high hat on them.
"Mr. Zhao is really ridiculous. We can't be called a pillar of talent, but we will do our best to help Mr. Zhao complete his important mission."
Many officials said with emotion.
“With the help of Governor Zhang and all the gentlemen, I am confident that I can successfully complete the important task entrusted by the Holy Spirit.”
Zhao Wenhua bowed to Zhang Jing and all the officials, and then followed Zhang Jing’s arrangements. , moved to the Imperial Envoy Yamen.
On the way to the Imperial Envoy’s Yamen, Zhao Wenhua got to know the officials of the fourth rank and above one by one and exchanged a few words.
"Haha, Zihou, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you take the initiative to say hello to me, teacher? You still have to wait for me to ask you."
Zhao Wenhua looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile and said hello with a smile. He waved his hand, signaling Zhu Ping'an to come forward and talk.
"Student, pay homage to Mr. Zhao."
Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to go forward and pay homage, holding the disciple ceremony and calling him student.
There is no way, Zhao Wenhua claims to be his teacher in public, and Zhu Ping'an cannot dismantle him in public. Moreover, if we talk about it in general terms, Zhao Wenhua can indeed be called his teacher. Before the provincial examination that year, Qualification examination - scientific examination, Zhao Wenhua is the examiner, it is himself who he is testing.
"Ah?! Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhu actually have a teacher-student relationship? Why have you never heard Mr. Zhu talk about it? I didn't expect that there is such a secret?"
A group of nearby officials heard this and saw it. , all opened their mouths in surprise. They had no idea that Zhu Ping'an, an enemy of the Yan Party, had a teacher-student relationship with Zhao Wenhua, the leader of the Yan Party, and couldn't help asking curiously.
Can you not be surprised? ! Everyone knows how Zhu Ping'an came to Jiangnan. Zhu Ping'an offended Mr. Yan Ge and Party Yan, so he was demoted to Jingnan and became a small county magistrate.
"Haha, it's a long story. I have a close relationship with Ying Tian. Three years ago, the academic officer of Nanzhili was transferred to Sichuan. I took over as the academic officer of Nanzhili and inspected Schools in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties within the province, Inspecting the quality of teaching, managing the Imperial College, and presiding over the provincial examinations. It was also that year that Zihou came to Yingtian to take part in the provincial examinations. The scientific examination before the provincial examinations was the one I took in person. At that time, Zihou handed in his papers very early. You say, when When I first met Zihou, I was still a young boy and my childishness had not faded. I thought he was a supervising student donated by some noble family. Unexpectedly, I was impressed by the answer sheet. I asked questions on the spot and competed with him. Zihou responded calmly and answered fluently. full of culture , I was so amazed that I voted first class on the spot. Tell me, are Zihou and I a teacher and student?"
Zhao Wenhua smiled and told the details of the situation back then, praising Zhu Ping'an. After a while.
"Of course they are teachers and students. No wonder Mr. Zhu is so talented at such a young age. It turns out that famous teachers make great disciples."
"With Mr. Zhao as a teacher, teaching knowledge and providing guidance, no wonder Mr. Zhu is so young. It can easily reach the fourth level."
"Master Zhu is so lucky. With Master Zhao as his teacher, his future will be limitless. I really envy him."
A group of officials spoke one after another and closed their eyes to Zhu Ping'an. All achievements are attributed to Zhao Wenhua. Zhu Ping'an twitched his lips with a speechless expression. Say whatever you want, as long as you are happy.
