Chapter 1979: Imperial Edict Arrives, Promotion

When the Japanese pirates were publicly punished, Zhu Ping'an also received an imperial edict from the capital and was officially promoted to the right minister of the Yingtian Ministry of War and the governor of Zhejiang.

"You angels have worked hard all the way. I will prepare some simple food and food in my house to help you receive the wind and wash away the dust."

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Ping'an once again thanked the eunuchs who issued the edict and invited them to have a meal at his house.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Zhu. The Zajia family is no longer bothered." The chamberlain and his entourage happily accepted.

Li Shu had already organized a banquet. Several eunuchs, including factory guards Qian Hu, Bai Hu, and Zhu Ping'an, were at the main table. The rest of the eunuchs, including factory guards and accompanying sergeants, sat at a table for eight people, and a total of ten tables were occupied. .

Although the tables are divided into main tables and secondary tables, the food is exactly the same, rich and full of color, flavor and flavor.

"The three delicacies of the Yangtze River are the most popular in Jiangnan delicacies. Swordfish is tender and smooth, plump but not greasy; anchovy is called the king of fishes. There is a folk saying that 'braised anchovies are fresh at both ends, steamed anchovies lure the gods'; puffer fish The best test for a cook, it has a fresh and sweet taste, fat and tender meat, and thick juice. The taste is even more popular than Mr. Dongpo's saying, "The ground is full of artemisia and the reed buds are short, it's just when the puffer fish is about to come."" Zhu Ping'an said enthusiastically at the table He invited them to enjoy Jiangnan specialties and introduced them to the delicacies of various delicacies.

It has to be said that Li Shu is a person who enjoys life very much. Although the cook in the house is not an imperial cook, he is not much inferior.

The delicacies on the table conquered the eunuchs and factory guards present, making them move their index fingers and chopsticks.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves at the table.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Zhu, for your warm hospitality. This journey has been dusty and exhausting. Mr. Xiao Zhu's table of delicious food has given us a new lease of life."

The leading eunuch Wang Gonggong said half seriously and half flatteringly after having had enough wine and food.

"Haha, all the angels, you have worked hard all the way, all for the sake of peace. If you can't let all the angels eat and drink well, peace will not be a sin."

Zhu Pingan said with a smile. He did not humbly say that simple meals were not worth mentioning, but jokingly said that this table of meals was carefully prepared, which highlighted the importance he attached to the angels and his party.

"Haha, I often hear Eunuch Feng say that Mr. Xiao Zhu is funny and humorous. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary."

The prince said with a smile.

Judging from the tone of voice, he was very familiar with Feng Bao, which could be seen from the word "chang". Zhu Pingan then raised the topic, "Oh, my father-in-law is familiar with Eunuch Feng?"

"Master Xiao Zhu is indeed very smart. The Zajia family only said one sentence, and Master Xiao Zhu guessed the relationship between me and Eunuch Feng. Eunuch Feng and I entered the palace around the same time. We have known each other since we were young. We have similar interests and have become good friends. , we help each other, and our relationship is extraordinary. When we came from the capital, Eunuch Feng asked me to take care of Mr. Xiao Zhu. "

The prince said with a smile.

"Haha, Eunuch Feng's friend is Ping An's friend. Please take care of me in the future." Zhu Ping'an replied with a smile, and then said, "After returning to the palace, please take me to ask Eunuch Feng how he is."

"Definitely, definitely." Wang Gonggong made a pun.

"Oh, I almost forgot. When Eunuch Feng came, he asked me to ask you for advice." Wang Eunuch suddenly remembered.

"It's not a question of asking for advice. Ping An can only give me some immature opinions for Eunuch Feng's reference." Zhu Pingan said modestly, and then asked softly, "I wonder what Eunuch Feng is confused about?"

"It is also thanks to Mr. Xiao Zhu that after the change of the bed-in-waiting system, Eunuch Feng is now very popular in the harem and there are more opportunities. Recently, Eunuch Feng encountered an opportunity to go to the clerk's room."

"In our inner court, the scribe's room is responsible for receiving the daily seals from the Secretary of General Affairs and the seals from Huijimen Jingguan and various vassal kings. The drafts for the cabinets outside and the seals inside are all subject to the emperor's decree and approval. The records are issued by the bureau. There are ten heads in the bureau to handle the above-mentioned affairs. Recently, Eunuch Xia, one of the top ten bureau chiefs, fell ill and left the palace, leaving a vacant position. Eunuch Feng had the opportunity to take over. "

"I don't know if Mr. Xiao Zhu knows that if our father-in-law wants to be the Chief of Ceremonies, he usually takes the position from the clerk's office. Our father-in-law's biggest dream is to become the Chief of Ceremonies. If he can become the Chief of Ceremonies and supervise the eunuchs, he will die without regrets. ”

"However, to succeed Eunuch Xia and serve as one of the ten people in charge of the clerk's office, Eunuch Feng needs to hand over the errands of the respect office, including turning over the signs. Eunuch Feng is reluctant to leave the office. Especially for the errand of looking for signs, but I also want to go to the library, and I don’t know what to do now.”

"When Eunuch Feng came, he asked me to ask Mr. Xiao Zhu for advice on this matter."

Wang Gonggong briefly explained Feng Bao's current predicament and asked Zhu Pingan for his opinion on this matter.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you go to the clerk's office, you have to give up the service room and the errand of turning over brands.

After the brand-turning system came into being, Feng Bao benefited greatly. All the concubines in the harem wooed him for their own brand, and he became very popular in the harem for a while. If he was allowed to hand over this job and give up this achievement to others, He really couldn't bear it.

But it's too tempting to go to the clerk's room. You must know that most of the eunuchs in the clerk's room come from the clerk's room. There are more opportunities to go to the clerk's room from the clerk's room than in other departments. It can be said that they have only half a foot in.

"Currently, Eunuch Huang is the eunuch who is the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the eunuchs such as Zhangyin, Bingbi, and Suitang of the Supervisor of Ceremonies are also famous eunuchs such as Lu Eunuch. People can shake their status. The room for advancement at the top level is extremely limited. If Eunuch Feng goes to the clerk's office, he is destined to spend a long time in the clerk's office, and there will be no chance of promotion. "

"The eunuchs in charge of the writing room have a lot of paperwork to do, mostly behind the scenes, and have few opportunities to shine. On the contrary, the eunuchs in the Jingshifang are mostly in the front, often showing up in front of the emperor and the mistresses of the harem. As long as they do their job well, they will definitely be noticed and remembered by the emperor and the mistresses of the harem. They will be in the emperor's heart and the queen's heart, so there is no need to worry about not having opportunities for promotion and a day to shine."

"After four or five years, when you have accumulated enough, you can seek opportunities to go to the writing room. I guess you will not be one of the ten eunuchs in charge, but the eunuch in charge of the writing room. If you can be promoted to the inner study, then going to the Silijian should be a foregone conclusion."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, for reference by eunuch Feng."

Zhu Ping'an thought seriously for a moment and gave his personal opinion on this matter for reference by Feng Bao. According to history, Feng Bao's power stage was not in the Jiajing Dynasty, but in the new dynasty after Prince Yu ascended the throne. When the time comes in the future, give him advice and let him go to Prince Yu early to wait for the dragon to rise.

"I would like to thank Lord Xiao Zhu on behalf of Eunuch Feng. I will definitely convey your advice." Eunuch Wang clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
