Chapter 906： be seated

Chapter 906 Admission

When Zhu Ping'an walked into the arbor, other officials of Prince Yu's Mansion also rushed to the banquet one after another.

Since Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty to expel the Mongolian Yuan and restored the meal-sharing system, general official official occasions have adopted the meal-sharing system.

The meal sharing system is more particular than the combined meal system, and there are more rules, and it is easy to distinguish between primary and secondary, and status levels.

In the pergola, the main seat of King Yu is set on a wooden platform six points above the ground. Under the platform, from north to south, the seats of the officials of King Yu’s mansion are arranged in order according to their official positions and seniority. Each official has a separate table and chair. .

The length and width of the table are the same as those in the Han and Tang Dynasties, about two feet wide and three feet long, but the height is different from that in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The table at this time is much higher than that in the Han and Tang Dynasties. There are chairs so you can sit down.

King Yu's main table is three points longer and three points wider than the tables below the stage, which is the rule of Ming Dynasty banquets.

"Master Zhu, this way please."

The location of the reception banquet was determined in advance, and Guanshi Liu led Zhu Pingan to the second seat from the west.

"Thank you."

After Zhu Pingan sat down, he cupped his hands and thanked him.

"My lord, you are welcome. My lord, sit down for a while and have some tea. The banquet will start soon." After Liu Guanshi led Zhu Pingan to his seat, he ordered the maid to pour Zhu Pingan a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Zhu Pingan nodded in thanks.

Not long after Zhu Ping'an sat down, other officials of Prince Yu's Mansion also arrived in place one after another, and someone led them to sit down.

Soon, on the east side opposite Zhu Pingan, also in the second place, an official also took his seat.

The same is the first and second place, sitting face to face with Zhu Pingan, with a distance of more than two meters between them.

The person seated was a middle-aged official in his thirties, who looked much younger than Gao Gong, with a bright and heroic face, very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, with a tiger's back and a monkey waist, wearing an official robe Showing a bit of unruly and suave feeling, the cuffs are rolled up, showing a part of the arm, the black hair on the arm is quite strong, holding a folding fan, while twirling his beard and chatting heartily with others, while fanning the wind.

After the honest and heroic official took his seat, he realized that Zhu Pingan, a young and unfamiliar face sitting opposite him, was sitting so far in front of him. Nodding his head to Zhu Pingan Yaoyao, he said hello.

Zhu Ping'an smiled and bowed his hands in return.

After the hearty and heroic official nodded and greeted Zhu Pingan, he was stopped by the officials behind and started chatting.

Looking at the hearty and heroic official opposite, Zhu Ping'an was a little curious. Who is this person? There were no cameras in ancient times, and the paintings were seriously distorted. Just by looking at the appearance, Zhu Ping'an couldn't match this official with a figure in history. .

Shortly after the hearty and heroic official on the opposite side took his seat, the front seat of Zhu Pingan's row was also seated.

This is an official in his forties. He looks about the same grade as Gao Gong. He is thin and dignified. His appearance is not inferior to Zhang Juzheng, but he is a little older. He has a goatee and a bookish look on his body. , like a walking bookshelf, yes, it gives people a feeling of being both talented and elegant, and full of knowledge.

Sitting on the head of oneself, it is natural that the official position is not inferior to oneself, and the seniority is older than that of an official.

In Prince Yu's Mansion, there are only a handful of such officials, except for Gao Gong, they are Chen Yiqin, or Yin Shidan and others.

"My lord, Zhu Ping'an, I have met this lord, but I don't know how to call him."

After the official took his seat, Zhu Pingan took the initiative to stand up and greet the official above.

"Oh, you are the new Mr. Zhu Ping'an." The head official looked at Zhu Ping'an up and down with his eyes, nodded noncommittally, raised his hands and arched in his seat, and said lightly, "This Officer Chen Yiqin."

Chen Yiqin.

It turns out that you are Chen Yiqin, Zhu Pingan nodded, and formally bowed to Chen Yiqin again, "I have met Master Chen."

"Your Majesty Zhu is too polite." Chen Yiqin clasped his hands and replied calmly.

Zhu Pingan didn't care about Chen Yiqin's slightly indifferent attitude.

Zhu Ping'an knew that Chen Yiqin was a minister who wholeheartedly supported King Yu's position, was loyal to King Yu, and thought of King Yu in everything.

I am young and have just entered the officialdom. Except for the slight fame of Qingci, I have not made many actions worthy of everyone's recognition.

Blue words? !

For the Holy Majesty who needs to eat fast, Qing Ci is useful, but for His Royal Highness King Yu, what role does Qing Ci have.

Moreover, because of a pair of chopsticks, the story that he was ordered by the Holy Master to serve as an attendant in Yuwang's mansion to give lectures on bachelors has already spread by this time.

No one dared to criticize Jiajing, but when it came to criticizing Zhu Pingan, there was no pressure.

The imperial meal didn’t have chopsticks, and he ate meat with his hands. Because of this, he was relocated to be a lecturer in the Prince’s Mansion? !

How absurd and ridiculous this is.

A person who grabs meat with his hands can be a lecturer for the prince? !

I believe Chen Yiqin has heard similar criticisms.

Bachelor of Attendance in Prince Yu’s Mansion, this is an important position in King Yu’s Mansion, and one of the four most important ministers of King Yu. It is related to whether King Yu can occupy that position.

Not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

The same truth has always been the same. Although there is no such famous saying in ancient times, the truth is interlinked.

Chen Yiqin probably doubted whether he could take on this important task.

Actually, it would be the same if I were myself.

So, Zhu Pingan didn't care about Chen Yiqin's indifference at all.

As long as he shows that he is capable of holding this position, Chen Yiqin's attitude will definitely change.

To unite all the forces that can be united, to abandon the grievances, to use one's strength and one's energy to one place, and to assist King Yu to become a great treasure. This is Chen Yiqin's lifelong long-cherished wish.

Actually, what Zhu Pingan didn't know was that there was another reason for Chen Yiqin's indifferent attitude towards Zhu Pingan.

At the beginning, there was a rumor that Zhu Ping'an would be promoted to be a lecturer in King Jing's Mansion.

When Chen Yiqin heard this rumor, he placed Zhu Ping'an in King Jing's camp.

After the imperial decree came down, Zhu Ping'an suddenly became a lecturer in Yu Wang's mansion, which made Chen Yiqin wonder if Zhu Ping'an was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, and even suspected that Zhu Ping'an was deliberately infiltrated into Yu Wang's mansion by King Jing Come the pawns.

After Chen Yiqin took his seat, Gao Gong also came slowly. To Zhu Ping's surprise, Zhang Juzheng also came along.

Zhang Juzheng is not yet an official of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Moreover, what surprised Zhu Pingan even more was that Zhang Juzheng was quite popular in Prince Yu's Mansion, even better than Gao Gong. Many officials greeted Zhang Juzheng, and even Chen Yiqin nodded to Zhang Juzheng.
