Zhu Pingan hosted a unique reception banquet for Xu Hai and his team at the East Lake construction site. Each person had a standard lunch (two steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of egg drop soup). In addition, Zhu Pingan paid for it out of his own pocket. We asked the kitchen staff to cook six dishes of stir-fried wild vegetables with both meat and vegetables, and prepared a feast for everyone.
This was the worst reception banquet Xu Hai had ever had, but it was the most satisfying one.
Zhu Ping'an's authenticity, no pretense, and no flattery were like a breath of fresh air, which made Xu Hai appreciate him even more.
Of course, Wang Meng and others are another matter. Unless Zhu Pingan goes to jail, they will not like Zhu Pingan.
"Master Zhu, this impeachment has been verified clearly. Master Zhu is innocent. I will truthfully report the relevant circumstances when I return to the capital." Xu Hai said to Zhu Ping'an during the meal break.
"Your Majesty, you are very aware of everything, and I want to clear Ping An's name. I am deeply grateful to Ping An." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and thanked him.
"Master Zhu, you're welcome. It's my duty to verify the truth." Xu Hai smiled and waved his hand.
"A misunderstanding led to Ping'an's troubles. The exhausted court mobilized troops, wasted manpower and material resources, occupied the court's precious judicial resources, and especially alarmed the Holy One. Ping'an felt deeply ashamed and offered tea instead of wine to apologize to everyone." Zhu Ping An picked up the tea bowl, replaced the wine with tea, and paid respect to Xu Hai and others.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Zhu is also a victim, so why should he be blamed?" Xu Hai and others consoled him as they picked up their tea bowls.
As he said that, Xu Hai and others glanced at Taiping Magistrate, who was at the bottom. Taiping Magistrate was red-faced and ashamed.
"Although it was a misunderstanding, no matter what, it was caused by Ping An." Zhu Ping'an said with a wry smile.
"Oh, Mr. Zhu, Xu is ashamed to say that before coming here this time, Xu had preconceived ideas and already believed that Mr. Zhu's crime of colluding with grain merchants, driving up grain prices, and accepting bribes was true. This trip was for the sake of the country, the country, and the country. I came with the idea of catching a corrupt official for the people of the world. Unexpectedly, I failed to catch a corrupt official and instead interviewed a great sage. Alas, I listened to others and believed in others, which almost caused Master Zhu, a talented man, to suffer unjust injustice."
Xu Hai said apologetically.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but think highly of Xu Hai. It can be seen that Xu Hai is an upright and aboveboard person.
You can consider visiting more in the future.
"Mr. Xu's words are serious. After Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu went to court because of a misunderstanding, there were more than ten memorials to impeach Ping'an. As the saying goes, everyone's words make gold, but accumulation destroys bones. The scene at that time made it difficult for people to believe that Ping'an was Innocent. If you put yourself in Ping An's shoes, I'm afraid there will be misunderstandings if Ping An is present." Zhu Ping'an smiled nonchalantly, and defended Taiping Magistrate when he mentioned that Taiping Magistrate impeached him.
In this way, it seems that Zhu Pingan is becoming more tolerant and gentlemanly, and the magistrate of Taiping is becoming more and more villainous.
Xu Hai and others looked at Magistrate Taiping with increasing disdain. Magistrate Taiping huddled at the bottom of the table, his head almost hanging under the table.
"Those who follow the impeachment trend, do not distinguish the truth from the false, and rush forward to impeach for the sake of impeachment. Their intentions are to be punished." Xu Hai said with emotion, "This is how some people form cliques for personal gain. As long as someone takes the lead in writing a They took the opportunity to attack in groups and impeached their political opponents in turn. In this way, it was very easy to mislead the Holy One and cause the Holy One to have a problematic misunderstanding of his political opponents..."
Xu Hai was inspired. He was a member of Li Mo. They were at odds with the Yan Party and were suppressed by the Yan Party in the capital. The Yan Party had a large number of people and used this method of mass rebellion to get rid of many people. Less of their people.
Zhu Pingan nodded. There were many such things in history, especially during the party strife in the late Ming Dynasty.
"The injustice has been redressed. What do you think, Master Zhu?" Xu Hai asked.
"It's a bit emotional." Zhu Pingan said honestly.
"Oh, Master Zhu, I'm all ears to hear your thoughts." Xu Hai and others said with great interest.
"It's just some clueless and immature emotions. I'm just saying it, so don't listen to it. In fact, this impeachment is just a misunderstanding. Ping'an is the magistrate of the county, and a misunderstanding led to such a mobilization of troops. If the prefect, chief envoy, etc. If the border officials or the generals guarding one side also have such misunderstandings, wouldn't the consequences be more serious and the resources occupied be more?!"
Zhu Pingan glanced at Xu Hai and others and said slowly.
Xu Hai and others nodded. If the feudal officials had such a misunderstanding, the consequences could be imagined.
"Ping An believes that the reason for the misunderstanding is ultimately due to the lack of smooth information." Zhu Pingan said, "If the information channels were smooth, and if I could report the Jingnan matter truthfully and in a timely manner, such misunderstandings would not have occurred. I sent you all to mobilize the troops and trek here from the capital."
"Of course." Xu Hai and others nodded.
"Some clues can be seen from Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu impeaching me. Mr. Wang does not need to be like this. Ping An is not your fault. Mr. Wang misunderstood Ping An. For the sake of the people of Jingnan, he wanted to impeach me, but there was no quick way. He could only We unite with Mr. Liu in the matter, and it is through giving the matter that we can be impeached by the superiors. We, the grassroots officials, are closest to the people, but it is difficult for the Holy Father to hear the voices of us, the grassroots officials..."
Zhu Ping'an deliberately cited the example of Taiping County Magistrate and once again pulled him out and whipped him.
Taiping Magistrate's face was so red that he was about to burn. Not only did his head hang under the table, he even wanted to find a mouse hole under the table to crawl in...
"In addition, I broke the convention by defining high food prices in Jingnan, which is indeed prone to misunderstandings, especially in the early stage, before the effects are seen. It is normal for Mr. Wang to impeach me. However, Mr. Wang can see that , compared to other magistrates in neighboring counties, they should also be able to see why Mr. Wang is the only one who dares to impeach me? Probably, they have concerns and are worried about being retaliated by me. After all, the content of the memorial is relatively public, and it is difficult to hide it from me, and I am about to take up the post of Minister of Prosecution and Prosecution."
"It is precisely because the content of the impeachment memorial was relatively public. After Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu jointly impeached me, some people who wanted to kill Ping An, after learning about it, swarmed up and impeached me in turn, which alarmed the Holy Spirit... .Building gold with many mouths, and destroying bones. Now that I think about it, I am very scared...Thanks to the wisdom of the Holy One and the clear understanding of the details, Ping An was spared. As Mr. Xu just said, it is easy for some people to be fooled in this way. It is taken advantage of by those who are interested in forming cliques for personal gain and attacking political opponents."
...
No clue, immature... I'm talking nonsense, please listen to it.
Zhu Ping'an did indeed say what he said, and said a lot of emotions in a long-winded way, with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.
Xu Hai and others felt that Zhu Pingan was more real.
