Chapter 1908 The Troublesome Guy
This Xu Hai, when he originally thought he could kill this great Japanese chieftain in history, he actually rebounded from the desperate situation, became more and more courageous with every setback, and defeated the general with 400 remaining soldiers. He is really a troublesome guy after taking Jiaxing City!
Zhu Pingan closed the information, twitched his lips helplessly, and lamented again that the people who left their names in history were not simple characters.
While Zhu Pingan was worried about Xu Hai, some people thousands of miles away in the capital were worried about Zhu Pingan.
Xiyuan, Wuyi Hall.
Seven or eight ministers were sitting in a room, reading a memorial and discussing it with worried faces.
A middle-aged eunuch with a pale face and a beardless face walked in, and asked in a shrill voice with a smile on his face: "My lords, have you agreed on the reward for Mr. Zhu Ping'an? It has been ten years since I received Mr. Zhao Wenhua and Mr. Zhao’s memorial for the great victory in the sea sacrifice. The rewards for Mr. Zhao, Mr. Hu and other adults were all agreed upon a few days ago. Mr. Zhu’s has not been agreed yet, okay? Let’s not mention the meritorious service of the sea sacrifice. The officials are anxiously waiting for the reward. The Holy Father has just intervened and cannot delay it any longer.” No matter what, we will definitely decide on his reward within an hour."
Master Wang, the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, stood up and politely asked the middle-aged eunuch to wait outside.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has the greatest say in the promotion of officials. Since Li Mo, the Minister of Rites, was ordered to prepare the examination questions, all the recent promotion work of officials was entrusted to the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Mr. Wang, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was the person who was placed in the Ministry of Personnel by Yan Song. Taking advantage of Li Mo's retreat to prepare for the general examination, and with the support of Yan Song and others, he temporarily took charge of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Please, father-in-law, please wait outside for a moment. Within an hour, we will discuss the results." The other adults present also spoke one after another.
"Well, with these words from your lords, the Zajia family is convinced. The Zajia family is waiting for you lords in the main hall. But there is one sentence that must be reminded, lords. The Zajia family can wait, but the Holy One cannot wait. , there must be results within an hour, and the Zajia family must report to the Holy Father before lunch.”
The middle-aged father-in-law nodded expressionlessly, bowed his hands to the adults present, and retreated. .
Before going out, the middle-aged man reminded a few people that the Holy Spirit has already dealt with this matter, and there must be a result within an hour.
"Okay, gentlemen, everyone has heard what the Wang Eunuch said. The Holy One has already asked about it. We can't delay it any longer. We must agree on a reward for Zhu Ping'an." Wang Shilang said to everyone.
As Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he naturally presided over the reward negotiation when Yan Song, Xu Jie and other cabinet elders and ministers of various ministries were not present.
Envoy is enough," an official said.
"No, Zhao Wenhua and Mr. Zhao's memorial to the great victory of worshiping the sea is clearly written. Zhu Ping'an is the first sacrifice to the sea, and the emperor has also read it. The memorial states that in order to expand the effect of worshiping the sea , Mr. Zhao used himself as bait to lure the Japanese pirates to attack. Secretly ordered Hu Zongxian's, Zhu Ping'an's, and Li Tingzhu's troops to prepare an ambush. As expected, the Japanese pirates were fooled and fell into an ambush. In the battle, more than 500 Japanese pirates were desperate and jumped into the sea to their death. Tang Kekuan's troops captured 27 Japanese pirates, and Yu Dayou's troops captured 65 Japanese pirates. , Li Tingzhubu captured ninety-eight Japanese pirates, Hu Zongxian's troops captured 80 Japanese pirates, and Zhu Ping'an's troops captured 290 Japanese pirates, saving countless people. This battle was the first achievement in suppressing Japanese pirates in Jiangnan. "
"Counting. Months ago, Zhu Ping'an suppressed fifty-seven Japanese people at Yingtian City and was promoted to the third level. , was promoted to deputy envoy of the Zhejiang Provincial Envoy, specializing in group training, assisting in the suppression of Japanese pirates, and protecting hundreds of his descendants. He was passed down from generation to generation as a reward for his merits. In this battle, Zhu Ping'an captured two hundred and ninety Japanese pirates, five times the number. In just a few months, just one word 'generation' was removed! ”
"Zhu Pingan is the person who left his name in front of the Holy Emperor. If this reward is agreed upon, the Holy Emperor will not be able to pass the test."
Another official shook his head and raised objections, suggesting that Zhu should be rewarded even more heavily. Safety.
"Master Zhang, I know that you are a member of Mr. Xu Ge, and Zhu Pingan is Mr. Xu Ge's favorite disciple. You intend to protect Zhu Pingan, want to promote him, and even want to transfer him When he came to the capital, he still had to work hard to upgrade the sixth grade to the fifth grade, and the fifth grade to the fourth grade. It was not a simple matter of quantity. The official was getting better and better. The harder it is to move up, the more credit is required. He is young and already at the fourth level, so moving up would not be a good thing for him, the court, or the people. His qualifications, experience and ability are not enough to support his promotion."
Some officials immediately objected.
"Master Li, I am not anyone's person. If you really want to say who I am, I am a person of the Holy One. I am talking about the matter. I am just talking about the rewards and punishments for this great victory in the sacrifice to the sea. I am serious. If you just remove the word 'generation' from Zhu Ping'an and present this reward result to the Holy One, do you think the Holy One will give it a thumbs up? You know, Zhu Ping'an was the one who received the most praise from Zhao Wenhua for this great victory, and the rewards we agreed upon five days ago for the officials who were behind him were richer, you guys think. Is this reasonable? Will the Holy Spirit nod to such an obviously unreasonable reward?”
Mr. Zhang shook his head, said slowly, and finally added, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. If everyone agrees to remove the word 'generation', I have no objection."
" It is indeed the case. How about lowering the rewards of others so as not to exceed Zhu Pingan? "
Someone made another suggestion.
“No, worshiping the sea is a matter of special concern to the Holy One. When the memorial of the great success of the Sea Ji was heard, His Majesty Longyan was so happy that he even ate an extra bowl of rice. Manager Zhao of the Imperial Dining Room even asked me to pay special attention to it. Mr. Zhao is thanking you. If the reward for such a great victory is small, your Majesty will not. I'll agree. If the Holy One doesn't agree, it's a matter of our discussion. It's because we didn't discuss the merits well. It's better to slap the blame on us."
"No, how can it be because of a Zhu. Ping An, how about lowering the rewards for Mr. Zhao and others?”
"This suggestion is simply terrible. Let alone the Holy One, Mr. Yan Ge will not agree to discuss merits like this."
Many people shook their heads in opposition.
In terms of merit, give him a heavy reward. Mr. Yan Ge can’t pass the test. Give him a light reward. He can’t pass the test of the Holy Master.
For a while, there was a deadlock.
Zhu Pingan is really a troublesome guy. (End of chapter)
