This Concubine Jiang is truly a legendary favorite!
"Your Majesty, it's an honor for your Majesty to be able to enjoy being a minister here."
Zhang Zhaoping added: "Your Majesty, the merchants in Xuzhou Prefecture heard that you and your empress were coming and wanted to see the Holy Face, so they prepared a dust-cleansing banquet early. Can you go?"
"I'm tired today. Go and fetch Wei Wei. There's no need to see the others."
Chen Jue smiled and refused the dust-cleansing banquet mentioned by Zhang Zhaoping.
Seeing what His Majesty said, Zhang Zhaoping already knew that the dust-washing banquet prepared by the merchants tonight would be wasted after all.
After Zhang Zhaoping withdrew, Wei Wei walked in shortly after.
Chen Jue briefly learned about the situation in Xuzhou City and the state capital Zhang Zhaoping, and then asked Wei Wei to withdraw.
After driving for several days, Chen Jue was quite tired. After a brief change, he heard someone from the imperial concubine's side calling out that dinner was ready.
Chen Jue walked over and happened to see the imperial concubine Jiang sitting and looking at the delicious food, as if waiting for him to come and eat.
Seeing him coming, the imperial concubine stood up to greet him.
"It's all done, why don't you eat first?" Chen Jue walked over and took the concubine's hand and sat at the table.
"I don't feel good eating it alone. I want to wait for Your Majesty to come with me," she said.
"Nonsense!" Chen Jue shook his head and scolded her severely.
"Wait for me? There are not so many rules when you go out. You don't have to wait for me from now on. Just eat first when you are hungry." Chen Jue picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said.
"Your Majesty is teaching you a lesson~ I know!"
Concubine Jiang snorted, glared at him angrily, and said angrily.
the other side
Everyone in the Zhang family who was waiting anxiously in the main hall saw Zhang Zhaoping come out with "all beards and tails", and they swarmed around him.
Mrs. Zhang took her husband's hand and looked up and down, left and right, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no injury on his body.
"It's fine if nothing happens, it's fine if nothing happens!" Mrs. Zhang held the embroidered handkerchief and patted her chest.
It looked like Zhang Zhaoping was not going to see His Majesty, but to see the Living King of Hell.
But based on Chen Jue's reputation among the people, he is almost as good as the Living King of Hell.
"Madam, you don't have to worry about being a husband."
Seeing that his wife was worried about him, Zhang Zhao felt proud. Sure enough, his wife was the best!
He said: "During my conversation with His Majesty just now, I discovered that Your Majesty is not someone who is easy to kill."
Zhang Zhaoping took another look at the servants of the Zhang family around him, and suddenly thought of the one from Junzixuan.
He turned to his wife and said, "Madam, the guy from Junzixuan won't stay in Xuzhou for too long. Please go down and tell me. If you have nothing to do these days, don't run to Junzixuan."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Don't worry, husband, I have already given the order."
Well, Zhang Zhaoping nodded with satisfaction, what more could he ask for after having such a good wife and husband!
"And Jia'er, remember not to appear in front of His Majesty." Zhang Zhaoping looked at his daughter with some worry in his heart.
The daughter is in her prime years, and her appearance resembles that of my wife when she was young.
Although not as beautiful as the imperial concubine, she is one of the best beauties in Xuzhou.
What if His Majesty is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and likes someone like Jia'er who is from a small family?
When he thought about that, Zhang Zhaoping couldn't help but shook his head, no, no, he must not let His Majesty fall in love with his daughter!
Is the palace for people?
Obviously not!
Compared to her father's worries, Zhang Jiaer does not have such worries.
"I know, I know, you've said it eight hundred times, and my ears are getting calluses."
Zhang Jia'er picked out her ears without caring at all, stuck out her tongue, and said: "From now on, my daughter will take a detour when seeing His Majesty!"
Seeing his daughter looking nothing like a lady, Zhang Zhaoping suddenly felt that His Majesty might not look down on his daughter.
"Ahem..." Zhang Zhaoping pretended to be angrily admonished, "...it's not necessary to take a detour, there are still rules."
"I know, I know."
Zhang Jiaer waved her hand, "In order to welcome His Majesty's arrival, I didn't sleep well all night. I'm going to rest first!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Seeing Jia'er's temper, Zhang Zhaoping shook his head helplessly.
After giving instructions at home, Zhang Zhaoping thought of the dust-cleansing banquet set by Xuzhou merchants for His Majesty.
If Your Majesty doesn't go, there is no intention to hold this dust-washing banquet.
What's more, judging from His Majesty's wishes, he won't stay in Xuzhou for too long.
"Come here." Zhang Zhaoping shouted.
"Master!" After a while, someone walked in with his head lowered.
"Go tell those merchants that the dust-cleansing feast is no longer necessary."
"yes!"
The merchants were somewhat disappointed when they heard that the dust-cleansing banquet was not going to be held and that they could not see the holy face.
But thinking that the emperor is not that easy to see, I feel okay again.
Xuzhou is not far from the capital Luojing.
Chen Jue observed it during the two days in Xuzhou City, and also sent Wei Wei and others to inquire secretly. He found that Xuzhou's official administration was pretty good.
Zhang Zhaoping, the capital of Xuzhou, became an official during the Qingming Dynasty and was loved by the people of Xuzhou.
Chen Jue thought for a while and decided to promote him.
Where should it be placed?
Chen Jue lowered his head and looked at the paper on the desk with the names of the six departments written on it.
After pondering for a moment, he picked up the pen and drew a circle on a certain part of the paper.
On the day when Shengjia left the capital of Xuzhou, Zhang Zhaoping was suddenly informed that he had been promoted.
He is also the Minister of Justice.
You can go back to Luojing.
This made him so happy that he had a smile on his face for several days and woke up with a smile even in his dreams at night.
And secretly warned myself in my heart that I must be loyal to His Majesty, be loyal to His Majesty, and be loyal to Chen Guo.
Of course, Chen Jue could not imagine Zhang Zhaoping's happiness, nor did he know that he had received a loyal minister invisibly.
After leaving Xuzhou City, I saw patches of golden wheat waves before I walked for a while.
"parking!"
Chen Jue suddenly shouted.
"Your Majesty?" Liu Zhong looked over and saw that His Majesty had already got out of the car.
Seeing this, Liu Zhong immediately followed.
Seeing that it was too hot outside, Liu Zhong went back to get an umbrella and held it above Chen Jue's head.
"There were floods in the south in the summer, but during the autumn harvest, the grains here in Xuzhou were not affected at all and were growing very well." Liu Zhong took a look and sighed.
Chen Jue walked over, stood by the rice field, and broke off a piece of rice.
As Liu Zhong said, the rice here grows extremely well, with full grains and large quantities.
"That's because my dad is here!" At this time, a female voice came from behind them.
Chen Jue turned around and saw a woman wearing a cyan narrow-sleeved waistband and high ponytail approaching, accompanied by Concubine Jiang.
This woman was dressed in a chivalrous attire, which made Chen Jue's eyes shine.
Sensing that Chen Jue's eyes were focused on Zhang Jia'er, Concubine Jiang frowned and quickly walked over to hold his hand.
Zhang Jiaer, who was lagging behind, didn't notice the imperial concubine's expression. She came to Chen Jue and pointed to the golden rice fields in front of her.
She said: "The rice grows well here because my father is diligent in farming. He comes here to farm every day and doesn't go back until very late at night."
