Zhao Wenhua, like the bald guy, is also a micro-manipulator. He has almost no military talent, but he is too green and eager to make achievements. He likes to interfere in the command of wars. The consequences can be imagined.
Not only that, Zhao Wenhua is also a troublemaker. Not only does he like to meddle in military affairs, he also interferes in all areas of politics, personnel, finance, etc. Framed loyal officials, enriched himself, embezzled and accepted bribes, plundered and etc. are routine operations for him. There is nothing he can't do, only what you can't think of.
During the time Zhao Wenhua was in Jiangnan, the political ecology of Jiangnan was horribly damaged by him. Those who followed his will prospered, while those who went against it perished! The entire Jiangnan region almost became a one-man show for the Yan Party and for Zhao Wenhua.
If I assist Zhao Wenhua, I will inevitably become his accomplice in poisoning Jiangnan with tea...
A true man should do what he wants to do and not what he wants to do! Now is not the time when we have to serve the Yan Party. Since we have the opportunity to do things while standing, why should we kneel down to do things
However, Zhao Wenhua is always a problem!
Zhao Wenhua's ability to frame loyal and honest people is more than a hundred times stronger than that of the master of micro-manipulation, and he is rare in this dynasty. If he uses it on himself, he will be in big trouble.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. This is a very realistic aspect. Now that Zhao Wenhua has arrived in Jiangnan and served as an imperial envoy, he has become one of the immediate superiors. It is completely impossible to ignore his influence.
The center of Yan's party is far away, but Zhao Wenhua is right in front of him! He can draw a line between himself and Yan's party, but he cannot completely draw a line between himself and Zhao Wenhua. At least he cannot offend Zhao Wenhua to death, otherwise he will be in big trouble in the future.
Refusal is an art. After thinking for a while, Zhu Pingan bowed to Zhao Wenhua and said sincerely: "Thank you for always considering me and pleading for me in front of Lord Yan. I am very grateful. But I have no intention of joining a party at the moment. However, please calm down. I swear to heaven that if I want to join a party in the future, I will ask you for your kind words to join the Yan Party as soon as possible and will never consider other parties."
It’s not that I don’t want to join the Yan Party now, but I don’t want to join any party. If I join a party in the future, I will definitely join the Yan Party.
Anyway, he would never join any party disputes in the Ming Dynasty, so making such a promise would be meaningless.
This also gave Zhao Wenhua a way out, a reason that he could explain to the Yan Party, which was more roundabout and tactful than a direct refusal.
However, even so, Zhao Wenhua was still extremely displeased when he heard this, and stared at Zhu Pingan with cold eyes.
He was not satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's reply and still felt that Zhu Ping'an was ungrateful and out of touch with the times. He had been so humble and invited him repeatedly, but he still didn't know how to appreciate it! This was outrageous!
Zhu Ping'an also expected Zhao Wenhua's reaction. Zhu Ping'an also knew that the above words would not calm Zhao Wenhua's anger, so he continued: "Although I will not join the Yan Party, I will do my best to assist you in completing your mission as an imperial envoy. Now that you are in Jiangnan, you have two important tasks to shoulder. One is to offer sacrifices to the sea, and the other is to supervise the army to destroy the Japanese pirates. For these two tasks, as long as you give me an order, I will do my best to serve you. I will lead the Zhejiang Army to train. There are 2,000 soldiers under the demon army, including 800 bloody veterans and 1,200 strong new soldiers. They are all capable of fighting against the Japanese pirates. As long as you give me an order, I will lead the Zhejiang Army to go through fire and water, and complete your orders without hesitation."
Hearing Zhu Ping'an's tactful statement, the deep displeasure on Zhao Wenhua's face dissipated a little.
Although Zhu Ping'an did not agree to join the Yan Party, he was able to show his goodwill to me and expressed his willingness to fully assist me in completing the two important tasks of the imperial envoy, so he was not hopeless. He was one of those who could still be saved!
What's more, he had just stated that if he wanted to join a party in the future, he would definitely join the Yan Party.
Just as my adoptive father said, the young man is very promising but too stubborn. He doesn't know that life is difficult and he needs to be disciplined before he can improve. Compared with his performance in the capital, he has softened and improved, but it is still not enough. He will have to be disciplined again in the future if he is confident that he can be brought under my control.
Therefore, although Zhao Wenhua was still unhappy, his anger towards Zhu Pingan had dissipated a lot.
In fact, the original plan was that if Zhu Ping'an knew the times and appreciated the favor and agreed to join the Yan Party, everyone would be happy; if Zhu Ping'an did not know the times and did not appreciate the favor, then they could only follow Dong Lou's wishes and kill Zhu Ping'an, pinning him down in Jiangnan and preventing him from rising.
Now the Japanese invasion is getting more serious, officers and soldiers in various places have suffered heavy casualties, there are many opportunities to clean up people, the simplest thing is to send Zhu Ping'an to a dangerous place, if he fails to complete the task, he will be punished for ineffective combat, demoted, that's not a big deal, if he wins by chance, his military merits will be wiped out, send him a few more times, don't believe he can turn danger into safety every time, don't give him credit for victory, as long as he fails in combat once, he will be in trouble. Kui has many other secret methods.
However, there is no need to rush to kill him now. It is okay to give him a chance, observe him, and beat him a few times.
As for the East Building, well, it depends on Zhu Ping'an's next performance. Anyway, he still has to knock when it's time to knock. It can be regarded as an explanation to the East Building, but the strength of the knocking must be controlled well.
Zhao Wenhua thought of this, reached out and patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder heavily, and said in a tone that was three parts unhappy, three parts impatient, and three parts acceptable, "Zihou, you are still too young, and you are full of youth and vigor. It is easy to go astray. You must know the principle of going in the opposite direction. If you go in the wrong direction, you will easily suffer a great loss. Forget it, I will give you a chance. As long as I am still in Jiangnan, the door of the Yan Party will always be open to you. If you change your mind in the future, come to me at any time."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the tense nerves in his heart relaxed. Judging from Zhao Wenhua's tone, he should be able to get through this time.
Zhao Wenhua could say this, which at least meant that he would not try his best to kill himself in Jiangnan as Yan Shifan had instructed.
As long as Zhao Wenhua doesn't deliberately use those means of framing and tripping me up against me, I can avoid a lot of trouble and concentrate my energy on destroying the Japanese pirates. Fortunately.
"Thank you, teacher. With you protecting me, I don't think I will suffer much loss. I will inevitably come to you for advice in the future. I hope you won't mind it." Zhu Ping'an bowed and said with a grateful look on his face.
"You, I give you a pole and you climb up... Next time you come, there won't be any good tea."
Zhao Wenhua said pretending to be angry.
"Teacher, the tea here is of course all good." Zhu Ping'an said with a simple smile.
"You, go away. I'll protect you in Donglou first. You should also pay more attention, otherwise I won't be able to protect you even if I want to."
Zhao Wenhua waved his hand.
"Thank you, teacher. I'll take my leave now." Zhu Ping'an bowed and took his leave.
