I don’t know what day it is, but not long after Zhu Ping’an received the imperial edict, when it was almost time to leave the office, Wu Yiyi received another imperial edict.
"The imperial edict was sent to the Secretary of Wuyi Hall, and Xu Pu, the concubine on the left side of Youchunfang of Zhanshi Mansion, received the edict."
A high-pitched voice, as if the erhu played the highest note, resounded in Wuyiyi, and then a eunuch in his fifties appeared in the sight of everyone in Wuyiyi holding an imperial edict.
Most of the people in Wuyiyi have seen this old eunuch. His surname is Wei and his given name is Muyun, which is a gender-neutral name. Everyone calls him Eunuch Wei. This is a senior eunuch, more senior than the eunuch who just announced the decree to Zhu Ping'an.
He is much more senior. Eunuch Wei has been in the palace for more than thirty years, and his official rank in the inner court is more than a little higher than that of the eunuch just now.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an has only been in Wuyishan for a short time and has not met this old eunuch yet.
When he heard others calling him Eunuch Wei, Zhu Pingan's first reaction was that this person could not be Wei Zhongxian.
But he immediately denied himself. Wei Zhongxian was a great traitor during the reign of Emperor Xizong, and Emperor Xizong would not be born for more than half a century. Not to mention him, even his father Ming Guangzong would not be born until more than thirty years later.
As for the claim that Wei Zhongxian is a descendant of Eunuch Wei, Zhu Ping'an even laughed. A eunuch has a descendant of Mao Shaan.
Carrying on the family line?
In addition to accepting a godson, the eunuch also wants to continue the family line?!
etc.
Godson?
No, the time is wrong, Wei Zhongxian was from the Xizong period, which was still two generations away from now, and his godson was about the same.
Zhu Pingan laughed to himself in his heart and rejected the idea. It was too unrealistic to have a grandson. It was just the same surname. He thought too much. There are hundreds of thousands of people named Wei. I believe there are people named Wei in the palace.
There must be more than one eunuch.
Eunuch Wei is a senior eunuch in the palace. If we talk about his official position in the inner court in detail, he is also a third-rank eunuch.
And the target of this imperial edict is only the fifth grade.
Where is the identity gap?
Therefore, after Eunuch Wei entered Wuyi Palace with the imperial edict, he did not go to Zhu Pingan's room to announce the edict like the eunuch who announced the edict to Zhu Pingan. Eunuch Wei just waved his whisk and shouted, "Sir Zhi of Wuyi Palace, Zhan
Xu Pu, the concubine of Zuo Chunfang of the Ministry of Affairs, received the order and waited in the main hall.
For a third-rank chamberlain to announce an edict to a fifth-rank official, this in itself represents the Holy Spirit's attitude of importance, which is honorable enough.
When it comes to public affairs and private affairs, you have to put on this airs. After Wei Eunuch held the imperial edict and entered the Wuyi Hall, he put on the airs.
"I've met Eunuch Wei."
Officials from the Wuyi Palace Hall came forward to say hello to Eunuch Wei. The eunuchs were the ones who should not be offended the most in the palace. Even if they looked down on the disabled eunuchs in their hearts, they should be treated with courtesy and respect on their faces.
Eunuch Wei is also an accomplished old fox in cultivation. He is like Maitreya in front of the Buddha, smiling and interacting with the officials of Wuyi Hall. Eunuch Wei has a very good memory, and he can call out anyone who has met him.
The officials in Wuyi Hall felt like they were taking a breath of fresh air when they came to an official position with their surname.
"I've met Eunuch Wei."
Zhu Pingan practiced calligraphy all afternoon, and the rice paper on the table was almost used up. Before getting off work, Zhu Pingan went to the supply and demand department of the main hall to get another pile of rice paper. While collecting rice paper, Eunuch Wei happened to enter Wuyi Hall. At this moment
Everyone was in touch with Eunuch Wei, and Zhu Ping'an didn't want to be too independent or show any aloofness, so he followed the crowd and went to Eunuch Wei's place to brush his face.
"Well, you are Zhu Pingan, right? I heard the kid below talking about you, and when I met you today, you turned out to be a young and promising person."
Zhu Ping'an just brushed his face briefly, but to his surprise, Eunuch Wei actually said something to him with a smile.
"Ping'an cannot be regarded as the word 'young and promising' by my father-in-law. In front of my father-in-law, I am just a low-achiever."
Zhu Pingan shook his head with an honest look.
"Haha" Eunuch Wei glanced at Zhu Pingan with a smile and said nothing, but his gaze was still Zhu Pingan's eyes tightened. The old fox's eyes were so bright. When he looked at each other, Zhu Pingan felt that he was attracted by him.
As if seeing through.
It seems that none of the old eunuchs in the palace are simple. Also, if they can live to this age safely in such a deep palace that eats people without spitting out bones, how can they survive without a few brushes and extraordinary abilities?
Until today.
Zhu Ping'an had a simple and honest smile on his face, but he had really made up his mind in his heart. He would have to be extremely careful if he came into contact with any old eunuch in the palace in the future.
Because Eunuch Wei had just called out almost everyone's surname and official position, no one was surprised that Zhu Ping'an's name was called out.
However, when they heard Eunuch Wei say that Zhu Ping'an was young and promising, many people laughed inwardly.
hehe
Of course, Zhu Ping'an is young and promising. He became a lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion at a young age. How can he not be young and promising? Haha, this young and promising life only ends here. After entering Prince Yu's Mansion, that is
Got on a broken ship that was destined to sink. After King Jing ascended the throne in the future, King Yu who competed with him for the throne would be able to do well, but King Yu would not be able to do well, let alone Zhu Ping'an and others who were former ministers of King Yu.
It's almost a minute or so.
Everyone heard a burst of hurried footsteps. The person involved, Wuyidian Si Zhi, and Xu Pu, the concubine of the left Chunfang of Zhan Shifu, walked quickly from the inner room.
Xu Pu was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Jiajing reign. He was ranked second in the rankings that year and was assigned to the Hanlin Academy as soon as he entered the job. Xu Pu came from an aristocratic family. There were no less than ten people in his family who served as officials. He had deep connections between the DPRK and China, and there were also
An uncle had an irreversible relationship with Yan Shifan. In addition, Xu Pu's conduct and personal ability were strong, so his official position was steadily rising step by step, from Hanlin Academy to Honglu Temple to Youchunfang. This year, he is more than 40 years old.
Xu Pu, who was 6 years old, was already an official of the fifth rank.
As early as six years ago, Xu Pu became the director of Wuyidian, and his relationship with Zhu Ping'an in Wuyidian was hundreds of times deeper. Now, Xu Pu is already the leader of Wuyidian's department in charge of education.
Connected with the Imperial College, he can be regarded as a department director.
"I would be very honored to trouble Eunuch Wei to come and announce the decree."
After Xu Pu arrived, he raised his hands to greet Eunuch Wei. His voice was breathless. He was tired from walking quickly to receive the imperial edict, but his face was flushed and he was obviously excited.
Xu Pu was not ignorant of today's imperial edict.
He received the letter this afternoon, but the letter was not sure at that time. It was not until Zhu Ping'an received the imperial edict to be transferred to Prince Yu's Palace as a lecturer that Xu Pu was sure that what he had long wanted to do had come true.
