Zhu Pingan returned the greetings to everyone one by one, and then, under the hesitation of several officials, Zhu Pingan had no choice but to agree with a smile and invite everyone to have a meal at the place where they last had dinner.
The number one scholar in his teens was promoted to a higher rank within a few days of joining the Hanlin Academy. Zhu Pingan suddenly became a new upstart in the Hanlin Academy. Several Hanlin officials followed Zhu Pingan to the library, chatting and laughing, saying they wanted to go to the library.
Help Zhu Pingan organize the books and classics. Zhu Pingan is now a sixth-rank official. There are only five people in the Hanlin Academy with higher official positions than Zhu Pingan, including Dean Li Moli who basically does not come to the Hanlin Academy, so the Hanlin Academy
Some thoughtful people regard Zhu Ping'an as a kind of political investment.
Looking at Zhu Ping'an in the center of the crowd, Zhang Juzheng felt calm and stood with a smile on his face.
It has to be said that when he first learned about the news of Zhu Ping'an's promotion, Zhang Juzheng still felt a little ripple in his heart. He originally joined the Hanlin Academy as a shujishi. The shujishi was not a formal official position. He stayed in the Hanlin Academy for the whole time.
After three years of hard work, he was awarded the title of seventh-grade editor!
Let’s look at Zhu Ping’an again. When he first came to the Hanlin Academy, he was a sixth-rank scholar. Now he was promoted to a rank in just three days and became a full sixth-rank scholar.
It took me three years of hard work to get my first official official position, and I was promoted in just three days.
Humans are not grass or trees, nor are they saints. In comparison, how can they not have any ideas in their hearts?
However, Zhang Juzheng was Zhang Juzheng, and there was only a slight ripple in his heart, but he fell silent again in a second. He calmly looked at Zhu Ping'an who was in the center of the crowd, with a slight smile on his lips.
Didn't Yuan Wei get promoted very quickly? He has a wonderful pen and a masterful lyricism.
Now, what if there is one more poem to appetize?
Looking at Zhu Ping'an who was surrounded by everyone, and looking at his colleagues who were chatting and laughing as they headed towards the library, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but smile:
The officialdom is all about catering to the wind and not hearing the sufferings of the people. Many people are very good at singing praises and virtues. It is obvious that the building is about to collapse at this moment, but they can sing and dance to bring peace.
What everyone writes about His Majesty is that he works diligently and loves the people, singing and dancing brings peace, and the world is well. But how many of these people know that the local area is already in danger at this moment? How many people know that local officials and people are like fire and water, and officials use various methods to collect money
, the public dissatisfaction is about to boil over. If things go on like this, the Great Xia may collapse.
But, I, Zhang Juzheng, am different.
Qingci and poems are not something I can write. I would actually disdain them. I have read the books of saints and sages for more than ten years, read thousands of volumes of good policies for governing the country, and studied thousands of **** every night. This is not what I want to do.
The imperial court's wonderful pen is full of flowers.
I can clearly see the current situation in the court.
Government is based on recruiting talents, and a country thrives on appointing talents? Promoting talents based on virtue, appointing people based on talents? Hahaha, if it is really about appointing talents and using their abilities, how can Yan Shifan, who has never taken the imperial examination, become the minister of the Ministry of Industry?
The current head of the Imperial Academy is even more of a joke. It’s not like I don’t know how much money he gave away.
This situation is not a good time to stand up.
Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with alchemy, while Yan Song was timid and cautious, and only wanted to make no mistakes. After Yan Song took charge of the cabinet, the court was no longer the original court. How many talented people were unable to display their talents, and how many treacherous ministers were celebrating.
If Yan Song doesn't fall, what can you do if you upgrade to one level, two levels, three levels, and four levels?
Keep a low profile and bide your time...
This is what's best for you.
Today he is hiding his power and biding his time, and he will work hard tomorrow. What he wants is not just a simple promotion. Zhang Juzheng turned his attention to the old sunset that was gradually setting outside the house. It will eventually be replaced by the morning sun!
As the sun set, the Hanlin officials who had been working all day also came to get off work, because Zhu Pingan was promoted to a higher official and agreed to treat them. As soon as they got off work, the Hanlin officials took Zhu Pingan to the place where they had the last dinner together. He killed Zhu Ping'an.
Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong did not participate because they had other matters in Prince Yu's palace.
As soon as Zhu Ping'an and others sat down, there was an uninvited guest who stopped by without asking. However, none of the Hanlin present had any objections, but there were a few. For example, Yuan Wei and others were extremely enthusiastic, as if they were meeting their biological father.
of.
"Hehehe, congratulations Zihou, I'm here to give you a happy birthday." Yan Shifan walked over with a big belly and smiled, walked to the crowd, patted the Hanlin who was sitting on Zhu Pingan's right hand, and said to the Hanlin
He squeezed out of his seat and sat down.
Yuan Wei and others served tea, poured water, and asked the landlady to add dishes. They were extremely enthusiastic.
"Sir, Lord Yan has really offended the lower official. Lord Yan is here, but the lower official is not far away to welcome him. Please forgive me, Lord Yan." Zhu Ping'an stood up from the table and held his hands towards Yan Shifan in apology.
"What's your name, Mr. Yan? It's not true to outsiders." Yan Shifan took the tea handed by Yuan Wei, took a sip, and laughed.
Yan Shifan has a no-nonsense character, and he is no longer domineering for a day or two. Zhu Ping'an doesn't want to offend this guy just because of his title.
"Then let's call him Donglou Gong." Zhu Ping'an insisted.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Yan Shifan chuckled.
At this moment, out of the corner of Zhu Pingan's eyes, he saw Li Mo and his party passing by the door. They were originally going to sit in the opposite bakery, but after seeing Yan Shifan and Zhu Pingan joking, he saw Li Mo with a dark face.
, cursed lowly, and led everyone away.
Yan Shifan should know. Although he didn't turn around to look, when he heard the footsteps leaving, he obviously saw the smile on Yan Shifan's fat face getting bigger.
Uh, okay, now Li Mo will be completely classified as a member of the strict party.
Look at Yan Shifan's smile again. Zhu Ping'an felt that Yan Shifan was evil if he didn't mean it!
"The store has recently purchased a new batch of mutton. I wonder if you adults would be interested in trying it?" The proprietress of the store walked into the private room with her waist twisted, and directed several maids to place plates of dishes on the table.
He asked while looking at everyone with a smile.
"Thank you, I'll bring you some more of our specialty mutton delicacies." Zhu Ping'an replied immediately. After all, you can't be stingy about treating guests yourself.
"Is your mutton mutton-y?"
Yan Shifan's eyes lit up when he looked at the charming landlady. He chuckled and got up and walked to the landlady and asked.
"If you want something delicious, I will give it to you. If you don't want something delicious, I won't give it to you." The landlady's voice was full of charm.
"Hahaha, of course I want to eat it, and I need you, the boss lady, to cook it yourself."
Yan Shifan said with a charming smile, then patted the boss's wife's buttocks with his hand, and closed his one eye with satisfaction.
"My lord, I hate it~" the landlady said coquettishly, twisting her waist and ran away shyly, "My lord, I need to put more salt in my mouth."
"Women are beautiful when they are coquettish, and mutton is fragrant when mutton is fragrant."
Yan Shifan looked at the back of the landlady and laughed heartily. He then raised his right hand that he had just slapped and sniffed it, thinking about it for a long time.
"I'm telling you, Zihou, you have to try the mutton today. It has a bit of mutton's odor and a bit of the boss lady's arrogance. This mutton is truly a masterpiece!"
After Yan Shifan sat down, he put his hand on Zhu Pingan's shoulder and recommended it without caring about his image at all. (To be continued.)
