The west is clear of enemies, but the gentle breeze brings warmth.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a eunuch slowly walked into Wuyi's palace holding an imperial edict, instantly attracting the attention of all the officials in Wuyi's palace.
All the officials followed the imperial edict as it moved forward, through the main hall, turned right, and headed towards the Sizhi office area.
Could it be the imperial edict for Zhu Ping'an to be transferred
Coming so fast
The officials were guessing subconsciously, their eyes turning redder as they followed the eunuchs' footsteps...
Prince Jing is the first choice for the crown prince. There are only so many positions in Prince Jing's palace. If one is taken by someone else, there will be one less position.
Seeing the eunuchs approaching Zhu Ping'an's office step by step, many officials were almost heartbroken. We have been seeking the position of lecturer in Prince Jing's palace for many years, alas...
“Crunch.”
When the eunuch holding the imperial edict pushed open the door of Zhu Ping'an's office, a sigh was heard from Wu Yi'an.
Although this outcome had been guessed long ago, people still held on to a last glimmer of hope in their hearts. Now that the door was open and the second shoe had dropped, people's last glimmer of hope was shattered, and they couldn't help but let out a sigh that they had prepared for a long time.
When the eunuch pushed open the door, Zhu Ping'an was still practicing calligraphy at his desk, with a thick stack of written rice paper beside him.
"Master Zhu, it won't be too late to practice this calligraphy later. For now, you should hurry up and get ready to receive the imperial edict."
The eunuch walked into the room holding the imperial edict, looked at Zhu Ping'an and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your reminder, and please wait for a moment."
Zhu Ping'an put down the brush in his hand, lowered his rolled-up sleeves, and bowed to the eunuch to express his gratitude.
Receiving an imperial decree is a serious matter.
"Thank you for waiting for me, father-in-law."
Zhu Ping'an finished changing his clothes and washing his hands under the envious and jealous gazes of Wu Yi and the others. He straightened his clothes and bowed to the eunuch and said.
"It's all right, Lord Zhu, please accept the order." The eunuch smiled and shook his head, then slowly unfolded the black-axis three-color imperial edict in his hand. The edict was embroidered with auspicious clouds and cranes, and at both ends there were five-clawed golden dragons flying up and down and riding on the clouds. The edict was magnificent.
Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing the emperor in person.
"Your subject Zhu Ping'an accepts the order."
Zhu Ping'an lifted his official uniform, straightened his clothes, knelt down with his legs straight, and knelt respectfully to receive the imperial edict.
The surrounding officials also knelt down to watch the ceremony.
"By the will of Heaven
The emperor ordered: "Zhu Ping'an, the official of the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, is a young man of outstanding character, with a good character; he respects teachers and education, knows etiquette and reason; he studies hard and never gives up; he is determined to help the times and has great talent to praise reason. He has never lost his ambition in poverty and never lost his ambition in difficulties. When he was re-entered the imperial court, he shouldered the heavy responsibility and never gave up, which won my heart. I hereby order Zhu Ping'an, the official of the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, to be transferred to the Yuwang Palace as the Imperial College Lecturer from now on, and to be appointed as the Imperial Lecturer, and to enter the Yuwang Palace to lecture on the classics. I decree this."
The eunuch standing in front of Zhu Ping'an read out the imperial edict in a loud and clear voice with ups and downs.
What
Transferred to Prince Yu's Palace as a lecturer? Entered Prince Yu's Palace to give lectures
Did I hear that right?!
After hearing the imperial edict, all the officials from Wuyi Palace who were watching the ceremony were stunned. Then, expressions of ecstasy appeared on their faces. They tried hard not to laugh out loud, but they were already laughing so hard in their hearts.
Hahaha... ...
I didn't expect it.
I never expected this.
It turns out that the position that the emperor transferred Zhu Ping'an to was the Lecturer in Prince Yu's Palace, not the Lecturer in Prince Jing's Palace. Hahahaha, God is really watching over us. Now we have another chance.
When the eunuch of Sizhi revealed in the morning that Zhu Ping'an would be transferred by the emperor to be the lecturer in Jingwang Palace, everyone who was interested in Jingwang Palace felt that the sky was falling. However, when they heard the eunuch reading the imperial edict, it felt like Pangu created the world, and an imperial edict separated and reshaped the collapsed world.
There has never been a moment when I felt that the eunuch's voice with a duck-like voice could be so pleasant to the ears.
Although the imperial edict was addressed to Zhu Ping'an, at this moment the officials who aspired to become lecturers in Prince Jing's palace felt that the imperial edict was addressed to them.
A pleasant surprise.
Zhu Ping'an was transferred to be the lecturer of Prince Yu's Palace. Haha, this is really great, so wonderful. Your Majesty is wise. Long live your Majesty...
at this time
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards Zhu Ping'an.
As much as I envied, jealous and hated Zhu Ping'an before, I now feel as much sympathy for him as I do now.
Why
How pitiful.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. At this moment, Zhu Pingan should be very disappointed and very sad.
That must be the case.
I originally thought that I could become a lecturer in the Prince Jing's Palace, with a bright future and a promising future as a cabinet minister. But in the blink of an eye, all this became a mirage, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, from a lecturer in the Prince Jing's Palace to a lecturer in the Prince Yu's Palace. Only one word difference, but the future is worlds apart.
One is a loyal minister, and the other is an old minister of a vassal king. The light and darkness are clear at a glance.
Poor thing, poor thing...
After the imperial edict was read, many people cast sympathetic eyes on Zhu Ping'an, and of course there were also many voices of gloating.
hehe
That's ridiculous.
I received your letter to thank you in the morning, but you still had a sour face; in the afternoon you were reading and practicing calligraphy, pretending to be the most indifferent to fame or disgrace; before receiving the imperial edict, you changed your clothes and washed your hands in an arrogant and contemptuous manner, as if you were going to be rich. Now you are stupid, right
From being a lecturer in Prince Jing's Palace to being a lecturer in Prince Yu's Palace.
Not only that, pay attention to this key sentence in the imperial edict: "Zhu Ping'an, the Sizhilang of Wuyi Palace and the Attending Bachelor of Hanlin Academy, will be transferred to the position of Attending Bachelor of Yuwang Mansion from today, and will be added as the official of Jingyan, and will enter Yuwang Mansion to lecture on the classics and give banquets." What does it mean? That is to say, from today on, you, Zhu Ping'an, are no longer the Sizhilang of Wuyi Palace and the Attending Bachelor of Hanlin Academy. You are now only the Attending Bachelor of Yuwang Mansion, and you can no longer be the Sizhi of Wuyi Palace. You have to go to Yuwang Mansion to work.
Although the position of Sizhilang of Wuyi Palace was low, it was a position of prime minister reserve, which could be considered as "entering the cabinet".
but
From today on, you, Zhu Ping'an, will no longer have this honor.
hehe
You deserve it!
Let you stinky show off!
For a moment, all kinds of emotional eyes were focused on Zhu Pingan.
but
Unlike what everyone imagined, the "unlucky" Zhu Ping'an, who was at the center of everyone's sympathetic and gloating eyes, was already ecstatic when he heard the eunuch read out the imperial edict to "be transferred to the position of Lecturer in Prince Yu's Palace". He almost couldn't help clapping his hands to celebrate.
Yes, it worked.
Feng Bao did not disappoint him.
Lu Jingfei did not disappoint me...
Now it's good...
"Your servant Zhu Ping'an accepts your order and thanks you. Long live the emperor."
Zhu Ping'an suppressed his inner ecstasy, put his hands on the ground, and kowtowed to the leader to express his gratitude.
But in the eyes of everyone, Zhu Ping'an's attempt to endure it looked like "the baby is wronged, the baby is sad, but the baby can't cry", so the sympathy and gloating in the eyes of everyone became even stronger.
