Rise From the Humble

Yan Maoqing has been paying close attention to the movements in the inner hall. Compared with ordinary people, Yan Maoqing's hearing is much better, good and a little abnormal, about one-third better than normal people. The normal hearing range of most people is 5 meters, but Yan Maoqing can hear sounds six or seven meters away. Yan Maoqing has never told anyone this.

Yan Maoqing could not hear the ordinary sounds and movements in the inner hall clearly, but he could also vaguely detect sounds and movements with high decibel levels.

Yan Maoqing propped up his ears, but didn't hear anything at first.

Hard work pays off.

After a while, Yan Maoqing vaguely heard Emperor Jiajing's laughter.

The Holy Father smiled? ! Well, this is good news. I and others were announced to the Longevity Palace just for the Holy Sage's smile. We don't have to worry about the Holy Sage being in a bad mood and getting angry at others because someone "knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years" later.

Yan Maoqing touched his chin and smiled.

Next, Yan Maoqing continued to listen carefully to the movement in the inner hall, but he couldn't hear anything. Well, after a while, he heard it again. It seemed that the Holy Sage was talking to Eunuch Huang, but he couldn't hear a single word clearly. Yan Maoqing's hearing is better than that of normal people, but after all, he doesn't have dog ears, so it's not that powerful.

After about a few more breaths, Yan Maoqing vaguely heard Emperor Jiajing's laughter again. It seemed that there was more than one laugh, and he couldn't hear it clearly. However, Shaoqing, Yan Maoqing could still hear Emperor Jiajing's sneer relatively clearly.

Because the decibel of sneers is higher than that of dialogue, Yan Maoqing can hear it.

Hearing this sneer, Yan Maoqing suddenly thought of Zhu Ping'an's article "Kneel before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years", and couldn't help but tilt his body towards the inner hall, raising his ears higher.

After the sneers, the inner hall became quiet again, which made Yan Maoqing a little disappointed and a little unsure. Could it be that it was not Zhu Ping'an's article? Yan Maoqing has been with the emperor for many years and has a good understanding of Emperor Jiajing's temperament. If it were Zhu Ping'an's article, Emperor Jiajing's temper would definitely not just sneer.

Not fast enough, the corners of Yan Maoqing's mouth curved again, and he vaguely heard the words "bold enough" in the inner hall.

In this way

Yan Maoqing confirmed that it was undoubtedly Zhu Ping'an's article.

Speaking of boldness, at this juncture, who else is bolder than Zhu Ping'an who "knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years".

Did Zhu Ping'an get kicked in the head by a donkey, and he actually wanted to attract the attention of the Holy Emperor by doing something new and different? Haha, I'm afraid you can attract the attention of the Holy One, but you won't be able to withstand the Holy One's wrath...

"Bah, bah, bah, bah..."

After about a few minutes, I heard a noise in the inner hall, and then there was a series of dense footsteps, and then a little father-in-law hurriedly walked out of the inner hall with small steps. The little father-in-law looked anxious. expression.

Seeing the young father-in-law coming out, the eyes of everyone in the outer hall, including Yan Song and Xu Jie, all focused on the young father-in-law.

When they saw the anxious expression on the little father-in-law's face, and then thought of the noisy sound in the inner hall just now, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that this article didn't call the Sacred Heart? !

"Ahem, little Eunuch Zhang, why are you in such a hurry?" Yan Song stood up and asked, with a look of concern and worry on his face.

"Reporting to Mr. Ge, I have summoned Zhu Ping'an to see you, and please forgive me." Mr. Zhang hurriedly stopped and saluted Yan Song, and then hurriedly walked out in small steps, as if there was something urgent. Something like that.

Summon Zhu Pingan? !

When Yan Song heard this, he looked confused. Why was the Holy Master so anxious to summon Zhu Ping'an?

Xu Jie on the side was slightly startled when he heard this, then touched his chin and began to think deeply. Isn't Zhu Pingan inspecting the Taicang Bank? Why did the Holy Spirit summon Zhu Pingan in such a hurry? Could it be that something big happened at the Taicang Bank? Or is it that Zhu Ping'an came to Wuyiyi today and contributed all his articles?

Well, with Zhu Ping'an's talent and knowledge, it is not impossible if Wu Yishang also contributes articles. Xu Jie is still very optimistic about Zhu Pingan.

However, the anxious and serious expression of Little Eunuch Zhang made Xu Jie a little unsure. Logically speaking, if the article submitted by Zhu Pingan was appreciated by the Holy One and the Holy One wanted to reward Zhu Pingan, Little Eunuch Zhang should not be so anxious. ah.

Except for Yan Song and Xu Jie, everyone else in the outer hall looked puzzled.

However, there was one exception, and that was Yan Maoqing. From what he heard and saw, Yan Maoqing was extremely sure that Zhu Pingan's article "Kneel before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years" caused a huge disaster. The Holy One summoned Zhu Pingan to investigate the crime. .

hehe

You deserve it for being self-defeating! !

It was time for the office to be released during the Youshi period, but there was no complete supply, and there was no order to stay on duty at night. Except for the officials who were dedicated to Qingci and Wenwen, all the other officials on duty in Wuyishan were off work one after another.

Zhu Ping'an did not get off work. After he submitted the article to the emperor for reading through Eunuch Li, he found a conspicuous seat in Wuyiyi Hall and sat there. He did not leave the palace or return to his office room, as if he was waiting for someone. of.

After Eunuch Li sent the articles by Zhu Pingan and others to the Wanshou Palace for imperial reading, he returned to Wuyiyi to be on duty and saw Zhu Pingan at a glance.

"I've been released from office, Master Zhu hasn't come back yet?" Eunuch Li said politely, wondering in his heart that Zhu Ping'an didn't want to wait here for Emperor Jiajing to feel better before letting him submit a request for a face-to-face interview with him? !

"I'm a little tired from riding horses today. I'll drink a cup of tea to relieve my fatigue before going home." Zhu Pingan said and raised the teacup in his hand. There was still half a cup of hot tea in the teacup.

Do you have to wait? ! Don’t you know how long to wait? !

Not to mention a cup of tea?

Even a pot of tea may not be enough.

Eunuch Li didn't believe Zhu Pingan's words, and concluded that Zhu Pingan wanted to wait until the emperor was in a better mood before asking him to send a letter asking for an interview with the emperor.

But now it's almost evening. Even if His Majesty is in a good mood, he still has to eat and rest. How can he have time to summon you, a little sixth-grade official? If I give you a book, it will disturb His Majesty's rest. , Mr. Huang definitely took off my skin.

I will never lose the big for the small.

Eunuch Li made up his mind that even if the Holy Spirit was in a good mood, even if Zhu Pingan stuffed red envelopes for himself, he would not give Zhu Pingan a letter requesting an interview with the Holy Spirit.

There are still many officials in Wuyi who have not left. They are very confident in the submitted articles and want to wait for the results.

I thought that if their article won the Sacred Heart, they would know about it immediately, and it would be convenient for them to receive rewards, summons, etc. If they miss this opportunity to be rewarded and summoned because they are no longer Wu Yishen, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang and others in the hall were this kind of people. While they were waiting, they saw Zhu Pingan sitting at the next table slowly drinking tea and waiting. They were speechless for a while and looked down upon Zhu Pingan. This mentality is too greedy.

They know that the article Zhu Pingan submitted only took the effort of a cup of tea. Do you still want to get a commendation from the Holy Father for an article written with a cup of tea? ! It's better to go home early and wash up and sleep.

The two officials in the same office of Zhu Pingan finally finished writing the article, walked out of the room, came to the hall, and handed the articles they had written to Eunuch Li, who compiled them and sent them to the Longevity Palace for viewing.

Passing by the hall, when they saw Zhu Pingan sitting leisurely drinking tea and waiting, they looked at Zhu Pingan with even more speechless and disdainful eyes than Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang did not read Zhu Pingan's article, but they saw with their own eyes that Zhu Pingan "knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years."

Just for this article, do you still expect a commendation from the Holy One? !

What a beautiful thought! !

Just when Eunuch Li had compiled the remaining five articles submitted by Wu Yishen, and was about to go to the Wanshou Palace to submit them to the royal family again, he heard a burst of dense footsteps, and then saw the little boy who was serving the Holy Emperor in the Wanshou Palace. Eunuch Zhang ran over in a hurry.

The eyes of Wu Yichen suddenly lit up.

They knew this little Eunuch Zhang, and they knew that he served beside Emperor Jiajing. In the past, it was this little Eunuch Zhang who announced rewards and decrees many times.

Little Eunuch Zhang came to Wuyi Cang. Doesn’t this mean that the article about obtaining the Sacred Heart came from Wu Yi Cang? Doesn’t it mean that it was probably written by you and me?

Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang and others looked at each other and couldn't help but look happy. They stood up excitedly and greeted little Eunuch Zhang one after another.

"Master Xiao Zhu, hurry, hurry, the Holy One calls you."

After little Eunuch Zhang ran over, he saw Zhu Ping'an sitting in a conspicuous place at a glance. His face couldn't help but be happy. He didn't care about Eunuch Li, Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang and others who were greeting him, so he hurried to face Zhu Ping'an. Ping An said, and as he spoke, he pulled Zhu Ping An's official uniform and trotted towards the Wanshou Palace.

Zhu Pingan? !

It turned out to be Zhu Pingan? !

When Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang heard this, their ears suddenly buzzed, as if a thunder exploded above their heads on a sunny day. They couldn't believe their ears, their eyes almost popped out of their eyes in surprise, and their mouths were so open that their jaws almost dropped. On the ground.

unbelievable.

Zhu Ping'an just wrote the article in a cup of tea!

Why?

The two officials in the same office room of Zhu Pingan were stunned at first, and then they thought of Zhu Pingan's words "Kneel before the Buddha for three thousand years." Their expressions of envy and hatred were different from those of Lord Wang and Lord Zhang. There is no envy, jealousy or hatred, but a kind of pity.

Zhu Ping'an has hit a wall.

well

Young people, if you are impatient, look, you have hit a wall.

The expression of Eunuch Li on the side was different from that of the others. He was shocked, simply shocked, and of course a little blushing.

Zhu Ping'an won the Sacred Heart by writing an article over a cup of tea? !

Zhu Ping'an was just sitting there drinking tea, was he waiting for the people from Wanshou Palace to summon him? The funny thing is that I thought he was waiting for the Holy Spirit to feel better before he asked me to submit a request for summons.

In ancient times, Guan Yu Wenjiu beheaded Hua Xiong, and the princes who attacked Dong Zhuo on the 18th Route were all shocked.

Today there is Zhu Pingan’s composition on warming tea.

As a bystander, Eunuch Li felt a bit like the 18th princes. At the same time, he was a little glad that he didn't say what was in his heart just now.
