Rise From the Humble

Just informed?

hehe

In the following time, although Zhu Pingan was sitting on the chair at the bottom, he was interrogated several times by several adults from the Ministry of Punishment who were sitting in high seats like a prisoner. The interrogators were mainly Wang and Liu from the Ministry of Punishment. Zhai Juntao, the chief official of the Shaanxi Qing Dynasty, occasionally asked a few questions. As for the Minister of Punishment, He Ao, who was at the top of the list, he had already left. Just now, someone from Tongbing Palace, a junior official, came. He Shangshu left without the seat being warmed up.

The memorial may be a big deal for Zhu Ping'an, but it is just a trivial matter for He Shangshu. It is enough to give orders to his subordinates with his mouth. There is no need or merit for him, the highest official of the Ministry of Punishments, to take action personally.

In addition, during the interrogation, the doctor Zhai Juntao used his eyes to hint to the clerk in the corner to record the entire process as if nothing had happened.

This scene was seen by Zhu Pingan. He thought that whatever he said today would be recorded and would definitely be used as evidence when the petition would be heard in the future.

In such a situation, Zhu Pingan would not believe that he just understood the situation.

In the face of repeated inquiries, Zhu Pingan did not reveal a trump card, nor did he make any substantive judgments. No matter what the inquiry was, he just responded in a bookish manner, such as the following:

"The name of our country is the Ming Dynasty. The sun is on the left and the moon is on the right. No matter day or night, the light can shine in all directions. The emperor's grace is great and will last forever. Although the lower officials are not talented, they still have the heart to serve the country. Thousands of households. Zhao Daying killed good people and took credit, instead of killing the enemy to serve the country, he used people's heads to deceive the court and ask for rewards. The sky was angry and people were resentful, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the people who had been wronged did not see the light of day. Such a tiger and wolf act insulted the name of our Ming Dynasty. How can I sit back and watch? in spite of."

…

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Ping'an is just a scholar who has some integrity and is not understanding of the world.

Also, in their opinion, if Zhu Pingan was not like this, how could he receive such a memorial.

This kind of person is the easiest to deal with, like a defenseless little girl who can be knocked down by a push and who will cooperate even when being ravaged.

During the interrogation, the two adults, Wang and Liu, became more and more relaxed. In their eyes, Zhu Ping'an, the youngest number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, was like a broken ship riding the wind and waves, about to hit the iceberg ahead.

The interrogation lasted for more than half an hour and ended. Wang and Liu felt that the interrogation of the Book of Changes was enough. A passionate person like Zhu Ping'an, who had nothing to say but no evidence, would interrogate Chen. Love is not at their mercy.

Thinking about it, the result of the future review of the petition will definitely satisfy Mr. Yan.

After the interrogation was over, Zhu Ping'an stood up and watched several adults leave, and then he also said goodbye and left. He just went back and waited for the Ministry of Punishments to notify him of the time for the hearing.

"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Zhu?"

When he was about to go out, Zhu Ping'an heard a high-pitched but not feminine voice coming from behind, and the voice was slightly hoarse.

Hearing this, Zhu Pingan stopped and turned around, and saw a handsome little eunuch dressed in gorgeous internal eunuch clothes. He was being escorted by several officials from the Ministry of Punishments and walked over. When he saw Zhu Pingan turned around, the little eunuch looked in front of him. A smile appeared on his face.

This young eunuch was an acquaintance of Zhu Pingan, Feng Bao in the palace, and Zhang Juzheng's most reliable political ally in the future. However, now Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng probably don't have much intersection, but they have a lot of intersection with Zhu Ping'an.

As for whether history will move forward according to the inertia of the wheel in the future, or whether it will change like the flapping of butterfly wings, no one knows. Only time will know the answer.

"Eunuch Feng has a good eye." Zhu Pingan walked over with a smile and said to Feng Bao.

"It's really Mr. Xiao Zhu. It's a coincidence that we met here." Feng Bao walked over with a smile and bowed his hands to Zhu Ping'an.

It seems that the little official who just reported someone from the palace refers to Feng Bao. Feng Bao is just a little eunuch in the palace who works for Huang Jin. He Ao, the top official of the Ministry of Punishment, can personally greet him... I think he is almost the same. Waited for a long time to see He Shangshu. It seems that the power of eunuchs is getting bigger and bigger now.

This also has a lot to do with Yan Song's flattery and connivance to the eunuchs.

In the past, when Zhang Cong, the chief minister of the cabinet, met Emperor Jiajing, all the eunuchs outside would bow to Zhang Cong and say hello; when Xia Yan became the chief minister, although Xia Yan was not as arrogant to the eunuchs as Zhang Cong, he still treated them as slaves. When Xia Yan met Emperor Jiajing, he spoke politely to the eunuchs outside. When Yan Song became the chief assistant, when he met Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song would hold the hands of the eunuchs outside, talk enthusiastically, and stuff them with red envelopes. Only for small gifts or something.

If this trend continues, the appearance of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian who covers the sky with one hand will not be any surprise.

"It's noon. If my father-in-law doesn't mind, why don't you let Ping'an take care of it, have some light food and have a drink." Zhu Ping'an politely invited.

Among the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Bao was considered a clean figure, and Zhu Pingan was at least not as disgusted with him as he was with other eunuchs.

and

The Ming Dynasty's current internal and external court system is such that serving as an official in the dynasty is inseparable from these eunuchs in the internal court. Zhu Pingan is not so noble that he has no contact with all the eunuchs.

"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao Zhu. The Za family has to go back to restore Mr. Huang's life." Feng Bao's face was moved, but he still shook his head, as if something was on his mind.

Huang Gong refers to Huang Jin, right? Huang Jin is now a powerful figure that cannot be ignored in the Ming Dynasty. The famous man next to Emperor Jiajing is in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Admiral of the East Factory. I won't say much about the East Factory, everyone knows that, as for the Supervisor of Rituals, it is also an institution that Daming cannot ignore.

The court stick is a sharp sword on the head of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and this sword is supervised by the eunuchs and executed by Jin Yiwei. According to historical records, when the Jinyiwei executed an execution, the severity was determined by the standing posture of the eunuch and eunuch. If the toes of the eunuch’s boots faced outwards in a figure-eight shape, the Jinyiwei would strike lightly; if the toes of the eunuch’s boots were aligned inward, Jin Yiwei was very aggressive and decided life and death.

In addition to the imperial staff, the Supervisor of Rituals was also in charge of the manuscripts received by the six divisions, and indirectly obtained the right to supervise the trials of the six divisions of administration and the Ministry of Punishment.

In addition, serious cases in the Ming Dynasty were reviewed by the three legal departments and submitted to the emperor for approval. However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too lazy to deal with government affairs, so he often handed over the final decision-making power to the eunuchs and eunuchs. In this way, it would be difficult for the Supervisor of Ceremonies to be ignored.

"It turns out that my father-in-law has important things to do, it's safe and abrupt, and business matters are important."

Zhu Pingan took Feng Bao's expression into his eyes. It seemed that Feng Bao had encountered some difficulty recently. However, Zhu Pingan did not take the initiative to ask. He just smiled and said some pleasantries.

This is psychology.

Take the initiative to rush to ask, even if you help solve it, the price will drop, and it will easily cause the other party to think too much.

When the other party says it, it means that you are seeking something from yourself, and the value difference will be great.
