Chapter 1662 Zhang or Zhao
"Zi Hou, after the reception banquet later, don't rush back and try the tea I brought from the capital." Zhao Wenhua patted Zhu Ping's shoulder and said in front of everyone The face explained.
"Yes."
Zhao Wenhua invited him in public and considered himself a teacher, so Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to accept.
Next, Zhao Wenhua got to know other officials and walked to the Imperial Envoy’s Yamen.
The Imperial Envoy's Yamen is a temporary government office and is usually sealed. It is only cleaned and tidied up a few days in advance when the Imperial Envoy comes. After all, Imperial Envoys do not stay for long and most of them leave after issuing decrees.
However, Zhao Wenhua, the imperial envoy, is different. Zhao Wenhua can only worship the sea for a few days, but he can't say for sure when supervising military affairs. Ten days and a half will do, and a year and a half will be no problem...
The people from the Ministry of Rites actually arranged it like this. The Imperial Envoy Yamen will serve as Zhao Wenhua's office. As for accommodation, a garden will be rented out as Zhao Wenhua's daily living place, and some cooks and servants will be hired.
However, Zhang Jing rejected this proposal.
Are you kidding me? To build a garden and hire a group of cooks and servants for one person does not cost more than a hundred taels of silver a month. Wouldn’t it be nice to use this money for military expenses and to reward soldiers?
< br>
The Imperial Envoy's Yamen has offices in the front yard, accommodation in the backyard, and a dozen or so servants to look after them, which is enough. Zhang Jing now wished he could break a copper coin into two halves, why would he agree to hire a cook for Zhao Wenhua's garden?
In Zhang Jing’s heart, sacrificing the sea is out of tune. If you worship the God of the Sea and seek His blessing, you can bless the southeastern mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty?! If it is really useful, then what do we, the soldiers of the three armies, need to do?!
Sacrificing the sea, spending so much money in vain, is really out of tune!
Of course, even if you kill Zhang Jing, you can’t say these things from your heart. This involves the Holy One. The Holy One is always right. The Holy One cannot be criticized at all.
But Zhang Jing is It is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake as a giant in the officialdom. He just needs to think about it in his mind.
"Your Majesty, the Governor, your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, you all." In front of the Imperial Envoy's Yamen, Governor Zhang Jing took the lead, followed closely by the Imperial Envoy Zhao Wenhua. Other officials filed in. The officers in front of the Yamen bowed and saluted all the big shots. My waist has never straightened up.
The incense table has been set up in the Yamen long ago, and the food and wine to catch the wind and wash away the dust have been prepared in the kitchen, just waiting to be served.
“Thank you again to Governor Zhang, and to He Zhenshou, Wei Guogong and all my colleagues for their warm welcome. In the cold winter with snow falling here, I feel the warmth of spring. Thank you very much.”
Before announcing the decree, Zhao Wenhua bowed his hands and bowed to everyone, and expressed his emotional thanks to everyone again.
"Master Zhao is really too polite."
After hearing this, all the officials stood up and said, feeling a little more favorable towards Zhao Wenhua in their hearts.
He is the godson of Mr. Yan, a backbone of the Yan Party. He holds a high position and speaks well...
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's get back to the topic. Now the Japanese The threat is becoming more and more serious, and the top priority of all departments, offices, and generals is to prepare for the Japanese invasion. I also ask Mr. Zhao to issue the Holy Order as soon as possible so that we can cooperate with Mr. Zhao to complete the important task of the Holy King as soon as possible, so that we can devote our energy to fighting the Japanese."
Zhang Jing interrupted Zhao Wenhua and the others. The officials' emotions sublimated and they urged Zhao Gongwenhua to issue the decree.
“Yes, yes, what Governor Zhang said is absolutely true.”
Zhang Jing is the governor-general and the top leader in Jiangnan. When Zhang Jing speaks, all the officials naturally follow him immediately.
One second, Zhao Wenhua, who was being flattered by all the officials, became a loner the next second.
Ice and fire!
Zhao Wenhua felt the deepest feeling. A flash of anger passed between his brows, and he said with a smile on his face, "With the Japanese invasion, time waits for no time. Governor Zhang's words make sense. Let’s get down to business. This time I left the capital and came to the precious land. Your Majesty. I have been assigned two important tasks, one is to worship the sea, and the other is to inspect and supervise the military affairs in the southeast. I need a lot of cooperation from Governor Zhang and all the adults and generals."
"This is a natural assignment. Naturally, Zhang Jing and other officials would not refuse the important task.
"The most important task is to sacrifice to the sea. This is also the first important task entrusted to me by the Holy One. When the Japanese pirates come across the sea, there must be sea monsters secretly working to help the Japanese pirates. Sacrifice the sea and pray to the gods to kill the sea monsters. Help me." The Ming Dynasty defeated the Japanese pirates."
Zhao Wenhua first bowed in the direction of the northern capital, saluted Emperor Jiajing, and then said to everyone.
After hearing this, Zhang Jing’s facial expression did not change. He was indeed deeply disapproving and even wanted to laugh.
Return to the trouble caused by sea monsters!
What a gathering of eunuchs - nonsense!
However, if you want to offer sacrifices to the sea, let’s offer sacrifices to the sea. Who asked the Holy One to practice Taoism? Now the deal is done and that’s all.
In the past few days, pick a good and auspicious day, find a peaceful seaside, burn talisman paper, recite Qingci, seal the sea god, pay homage, and then pour the sacrifice into the sea. That's it.
Zhang Jing thought truthfully, and there was not much disturbance in his heart, and his resistance to Jihai was not very big.
“As for inspecting and supervising military affairs in the southeast, it is a long-term and important task. However, Governor Zhang, all your lords, and generals, please rest assured that I am not here to cause trouble this time, let alone find fault. Yes, but here to solve problems. If you have any difficulties or troubles in military affairs, you can appeal to me. , I will work hard to solve your difficulties and troubles. If I can't solve it, I will report it to the cabinet and the emperor, and ask the cabinet and the emperor to make the decision for you. The ultimate purpose of inspecting and supervising the military affairs in the southeast is to wipe out the Japanese pirates and restore peace to the people in the southeast. The Holy One stabilizes the country."
Zhao Wenhua said.
Hearing that Zhao Wenhua was so understanding, Zhang Jing nodded slightly and said that it is good if you have this awareness.
Inspection and inspection of military affairs, hey, what do you, a man who considers his father like a dragon and a phoenix, know about military affairs? Do you know how to arrange troops? Do you know how much food and grass a battalion needs? Do you know how to set up a siege? Are you calling for reinforcements?! Do you know how many Japanese pirates there are?! You don’t know anything!
However, at last you still have self-awareness and know not to make trouble or find fault. This awareness is very good.
Just watch quietly from the side.
Although you are a strict party member, but for the sake of your knowledge, when the Japanese pirates are wiped out in the future, it will be okay for you to share some of the credit.
Zhang Jing thought honestly in his heart and nodded slightly on his face.
After hearing Zhao Wenhua's statement and looking at Governor Zhang Jing's expression, all the officials present felt relieved. They were all worried that Zhang Jing and Zhang Wenhua would start a tit-for-tat fight.
Zhang Jing is the governor-general of Jiangnan. He is the governor-general of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Huguang and other provinces. He does things conveniently. Naturally, they, the local officials in Jiangnan, follow Zhang Jing's lead.
As for Zhao Wenhua, Zhao Wenhua is an imperial envoy, sent by the Holy One to worship the sea and inspect military affairs. Behind him is the behemoth Yan Dang. No matter how careful they are, they can't be too careful and cannot afford to offend. . If these two masters fight, they won't know what to do or what to do.
Fortunately, the two of them got along fairly well, which made all the officials feel relieved.
However, Zhu Pingan is not as optimistic as everyone else. He didn't believe a word of Zhao Wenhua's words, including the punctuation marks.
There was another person present who also did not believe Zhao Wenhua’s words. He was Hu Zongxian.
At this moment, his heart was filled with ups and downs, including worries and excitement. A pair of eyes roamed back and forth between Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing. He knew that these two people would definitely be at odds with each other. This was destined.
Zhang, or Zhao, that is a question. Hu Zongxian touched his chin and fell into thinking.
