Chapter 1951 Zhu Ping'an is about to take off
"Why are we holding a prisoner presentation ceremony at the Meridian Gate?! Isn't this too unconventional?! Generally speaking, we have to wait for the Japanese pirates who will invade our dynasty. After all the Japanese invaders have been wiped out and eliminated, we can hold a luncheon again. It’s a grand ceremony for offering prisoners.”
“Also, how can we give Zhu Ping’an a reward? We have to temporarily reward him for not killing a good person and pretending to be meritorious. That means killing 40,000 Japanese and capturing one Japanese chieftain. How can I be rewarded for sinking, destroying, and capturing more than a hundred Japanese ships and still saving the city of Suzhou? Ah?! He is already the deputy envoy of the Provincial Envoy and Chief Envoy. If he really wants to be promoted based on his merits, even two promotions are not enough to continue his merits. Then he, Zhu Pingan, will become the envoy of the Provincial Envoy and the Chief Envoy. How old is he when he becomes a senior official in the border area?"
"There is no way, this is the Holy Emperor's oral instruction, we can only follow it, quickly inform the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, and hurry up to prepare."
After Huang Jin left, a group of ministers on duty, I couldn't help but chattered for a while, but in the end there was nothing I could do.
There was no way, this was Emperor Jiajing's oral order, the emperor's golden words, what could they do, they could only implement it.
"Hey, why didn't you see Mr. Ge? Report to Mr. Ge quickly."
"Mr. Yan Ge was concerned about the people who had fled to the suburbs of Beijing after the snow disaster. He went to inspect the capital early. I went to the soup kitchen set up in the suburbs. I haven’t come back yet, and Mr. Xu Ge also went there.”
“Where is Mr. Lu Ge?”
“Are you confused? It snowed the night before yesterday. Mrs. Lu Ge’s mother, Mrs. Lu, accidentally caught the wind and cold, which triggered asthma. Mr. Lu I wrote to ask for personal leave overnight and am taking care of Mrs. Lu at home.”
A group of ministers wanted to report to Yan Song, Xu Jie and Lu Ben, but the three elders were not in Wuyi Hall because of something else.
For a while, there was no leader, and all the ministers were like ants on a hot pot, wandering around Wuyi Hall.
“Why is it the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony!” Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel couldn’t help but look pale, feeling that things were about to get out of control.
He is a member of the Yan Party. He also received a secret message from the Yan Mansion last night and learned that Jiaxing fell to the defeated Japanese pirates in Suzhou.
The memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan has also been drafted.
However, the Holy Spirit's oral instructions to convene the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony today still made him lose his bearings and panic, feeling that things were beyond his control and beyond his expectations.
No, I have to spread the news quickly, so that Mr. Ge and Mr. Xiaoge can prepare early.
Thinking of this, Wang Shilang hurriedly ran out, eager to spread the news.
"Shilang Wang, why are you in such a hurry?" A minister on duty saw Wang Shilang going out in a hurry and couldn't help but stop him and asked.
"Oh, I seem to have a bad stomach this morning, and I'm a little anxious. I'm going to change my clothes." Wang Shilang explained without looking back.
"There is also a dressing room in the palace. If Mr. Wang is in a hurry, wouldn't it be more convenient in the palace?" The minister on duty said in confusion.
"I went outside to ask for some medicine. This is an old problem, so I won't bother the imperial doctor. My old servant always has the decoction."
Wang Shilang hurried back. After saying a few words, he continued to trot out without looking back, as if his butt was on fire.
Wang Shilang ran out of breath. He finally ran out of Xiyuan and found the servants waiting outside. He breathlessly ordered, "Quick, it's urgent. Send me to Yan's Mansion quickly. Don't worry about it all the way." Stop, the faster the better.”
“Get out of the way, get out of the way.” Wang Shilang’s servant waved his whip to drive the horse away while driving away the people blocking the way.
The carriage sped along, frightening countless people along the way. Some hawkers who carried burdens were even unable to dodge, and their burdens were knocked away by the carriage. The food in the burdens scattered all over the floor, and the vendors fell to the ground holding their legs and groaning in pain.
The carriage sped past, ignoring it all.
Finally, after rushing all the way, I finally felt the Yan Mansion. Regardless of being dizzy from being bumped by the carriage, Wang Shilang endured the strong feeling of vomiting, opened the door curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and because of his poor skills, he also Sitting on the ground.
However, this did not affect his loyalty to the Yan Mansion. He got up without any help from his hands and staggered all the way to the Yan Mansion.
"Quick, I have something urgent to report to Mr. Xiaoge, get out of the way quickly." Wang Shilang took out his greeting card and shouted.
This greeting invitation was unique to the Yan Party. Yan Shifan had already established rules for his disciples, and no one could stop him from seeing this kind of greeting invitation.
So, Wang Shilang entered Yan's mansion smoothly, and met Yan Shifan under the guidance of the steward.
"Mr. Xiaoge, something bad is going to happen, Your Majesty." Wang Shilang couldn't wait to say out of breath as soon as he saw Yan Shifan.
"Your Majesty is going to hold a ceremony to present prisoners at the Meridian Gate." Yan Shifan took over the words before Shilang Wang finished speaking.
“Huh?!”
When Shilang Wang heard Yan Shifan talk about the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony, he opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless for a long time.
How did Mr. Xiao Ge know that His Majesty was going to hold the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony? I obviously didn’t tell him yet.
Also, after Eunuch Huang went to Wuyi Hall to convey the Holy Spirit’s oral instructions, I ran out immediately to report the news. In order to send the news to Yan Mansion as soon as possible, I kept on going all the way. The coachman was urged to speed up, and the carriage was galloping all the way, regardless of the life and death of passers-by, and the speed was already so fast that it could not be increased.
How could Mr. Xiao Ge have gotten the news before I came to report the news? ! How this could be done in such a big way, I have no idea.
"Haha, don't be surprised. My father is able to secure his position as the chief minister of the cabinet. Being well-informed is the first priority. You must know that if you know your enemy and yourself, you will win every day."
Yan Shifan smiled slightly, patted the surprised Wang Shilang on the shoulder, and said calmly.
"It's because the official has messed up his position and it's unnecessary." Wang Shilang gasped and said with a sense of disappointment.
He originally wanted to be the first person to report the news to show his loyalty, but he didn't expect that Yan Shifan and the others already knew about it. He had run away all the way in vain, so how could he not be disappointed.
“No, it’s not an unnecessary move. The world will remember what Mr. Wang did today, and my father will also remember it. In the future, if something like this happens again, I hope Mr. Wang will continue to work hard and we will be well-informed. , we cannot do without everyone like Mr. Wang who cares about our father and son." Yan Shifan patted Wang Shilang on the shoulder again and encouraged him.
“Definitely, definitely.”
When Wang Shilang heard Yan Shifan's encouragement, he couldn't help but feel happy, and he hurriedly bowed and expressed his stance.
It’s just that I was born as a member of the Yan family and died as a ghost of the Yan family.
"Mr. Xiaoge, the Holy Master is going to hold a ceremony to present prisoners at the Meridian Gate. What should we do? If the ceremony is held at the Meridian Gate to present prisoners, wouldn't Zhu Ping'an be about to take off?!" Wang Shilang was worried. said.
"It's just going to be held, but it hasn't been held yet. In my eyes, as long as it hasn't happened yet, there is still room for change. Don't mess up your position."
Yan Shifan said calmly. (End of chapter)
