I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 142 The tacit understanding between the General Affairs Department and the main hall! Huang Bao: I am going to become the president! !

Huang Mansion.

When Xu Zhenqing and the three of them arrived, Huang Bao and Wang Xilou were waiting for them personally at the door.

Such a courteous and virtuous corporal gesture naturally made Xu Zhenqing and the three of them feel flattered and felt that the feast was not a good one. At the same time, they also admired Huang Bao's manner of doing things more and more.

"Brother Tang, Brother Wen, Brother Xu, I should have invited you to this meal a long time ago. But as you all know, after Your Majesty came to Jinling, we were all busy, and so were you..."

"I won't go into too much detail. This first cup is just for me to show you my fault. If there is anything I'm not doing right, I ask my three brothers and the brothers from the main hall to please forgive me! All the friendship is in this cup. In the wine!”

They quickly entered the main table, and Huang Bao did not let the banquet end in silence. He directly made a very normal opening, raising his glass to invite the whole audience.

There were only four tables in the whole place, all of them brothers from two yamen.

This cup obviously cannot be refused.

Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming received Xu Zhenqing's signal, and after being polite, he drank directly.

"Now for the second cup..."

Huang Bao quickly picked up the wine cup skillfully and wanted to pour wine for Tang Bohu himself.

"Huang Tongzheng..."

Tang Bohu quickly stopped him and turned to look at Xu Zhenqing.

"Hey... He's still called Huang Tongzheng. Don't you treat us all as brothers? Brother Bohu, you will be punished with a cup of wine. If I ask you to be older and eat more salt, don't you deserve to be your brother?"

Huang Bao was obviously a veteran of the wine shop, and before he got into a normal rhythm, he started to naturally build relationships and persuade people to drink.

Tang Bohu was embarrassed and could only let Huang Bao pour the wine and looked at Xu Zhenqing as if asking for help.

How dare they, little shrimps, call themselves brothers to a second-grade boss.

Xu Zhenqing stretched out his finger and made a three sign.

I have to drink these three glasses of wine today no matter what.

"Everyone eats the food first. These are our specialties in Jinling..."

"Let's have a second drink with this dish. This second drink is a thank you to His Majesty. We all work for His Majesty. It's rare for us brothers to get together and have a good meal and drink!"

The second cup just came.

Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming drank uncomfortably.

However, Xu Zhenqing finally took action.

"Huang Tongzheng, let us take care of the third cup."

Xu Zhenqing was the first to leave the table and immediately rushed to pour wine for Huang Bao when his glass fell.

"Haha, Chang Gu, look, you don't even want to call me brother? Remember this glass of wine!"

Huang Bao was very pleased. When he saw that the wine in the wine glass was almost full, he tapped his index finger lightly and Xu Zhenqing stopped.

"Well, remember this glass of wine, little brother."

Xu Zhenqing returned to his seat, then raised his wine glass, stood up directly, and said without being humble or arrogant: "First of all, for this glass of wine, I would like to thank Huang Tongzheng for looking up to us. Everyone is helping His Majesty share his worries and solve problems. Huang Tongzheng has a lot to learn from. Please give me your advice in the future.”

Tang Bohu and Wen Zheng came secretly and raised their glasses and stood up.

When the three of them moved like this, all the scholars in the main hall raised their glasses and stood up.

Huang Bao sat still and didn't move, because he was such an old man that he couldn't see the little moves of the three people before him. Moreover, Xu Zhenqing went over Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming to talk to him. This three-person mode was a bit playful.

He didn't move, and neither did anyone else in the General Affairs Department.

"Similarly, we also take this glass of wine to thank Huang Tongzheng for his previous help."

Faced with this situation, Xu Zhenqing did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he turned around and glanced: "West Tower!"

Wang Xilou also came over instantly holding a wine glass.

"Without Huang Tongzheng's help, Xilou and the others would not have come out of Dali Temple so quickly."

Xu Zhenqing said: "This glass of wine should be for our main hall to honor Brother Huang, and this meal should be for us to treat Brother Huang to his favor."

Huang Bao waited quietly, knowing that the words in front of him were of no use in saying them beautifully. The key was the but in the back.

"but……"

But Xu Zhenqing's message still came: "Huang Tongzheng, we are all working for His Majesty now. Your Majesty trusts us, so he entrusts important matters to our main hall, to the three of us. Your Majesty trusts us so much, and we should do our best. Only by doing your best to serve His Majesty can you live up to His Majesty's favor."

"Our main hall is different from the General Affairs Department. Brother Huang Tongzheng and Huang, you have seen more than us. In terms of serving His Majesty, there is a big gap between us and Huang Tongzheng and his colleagues in the General Affairs Department. Our main hall , How lucky I am to be favored by His Majesty and fall into His Majesty's eyes."

"To put it bluntly, we people are all frustrated and inferior scholars."

"Bohu's fame is even more..."

Xu Zhenqing did not hesitate to expose his own shortcomings. As soon as he said these words, he directly represented the entire Dabentang collective. Tang Bohu's face also showed sadness. Wang Xilou and other frustrated scholars in Dabentang suddenly couldn't stand it anymore.

"It is truly a blessing from God to be able to work for His Majesty!"

"If our main hall wants to be recognized by everyone and recognized by His Majesty, we need to make more efforts! We need to put more thought into it!"

"therefore!"

Xu Zhenqing finally tried his best to see the dagger: "Know your shame and be brave. We have made a three-part agreement a long time ago. The main hall will not accept banquets, drink alcohol, or listen to music. We only want to serve His Majesty in the best possible condition and be loyal to His Majesty. This way we will not We have failed to live up to His Majesty’s expectations and trust in us! His expectations of our main hall.”

"So...Huang Tongzheng, today's cup is our entire main hall's apology to you, our apology to you, and to you -"

"No need to say it!"

Huang Bao interrupted him and stood up directly. His face was full of guilt for some time, and he said with emotion: "Chang Gu, what you said made me blush and panic, and I feel so ashamed! From the General Administration Department, have you seen it? Why is the main hall so important to His Majesty! This awareness alone is far beyond us!"

"As a general manager, I feel even more ashamed!"

"They are all serving His Majesty. I am not qualified, and our General Affairs Department is not qualified either!"

This time, the atmosphere of eating seemed to be gone, and instead it became extremely official and awkward.

But there is no way. It was Xu Zhenqing and others who took the lead in being politically correct. If Huang Bao didn't follow, wouldn't it mean that he didn't have this awareness?

"This, Huang Tongzheng, we are not..."

Tang Bohu panicked and suddenly found that the other people in the General Affairs Department looked at them differently. Some of them looked like they were looking at monsters. They were all just for the occasion. Why did you take it seriously?
"No! Brother Bohu, Brother Changgu and you guys are very good at making a three-part agreement!"

"Today's simple meal is just a presumptuous one on my part!"

"However, it's not too presumptuous, because we finally discovered the gap between us and you!"

"This is the three-chapter agreement! From today on, our General Secretary must also learn from the main hall. The three-chapter agreement is that we will not accept banquets, drink alcohol, or listen to music! We will serve His Majesty wholeheartedly!"

"So, this drink! Let's talk about nothing else!"

"We use the bright moon as a witness. The Secretary of General Affairs will learn from the main hall, take this glass of wine as an oath and this glass of wine as the end point, and together we will serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly and share the worries of His Majesty!"

"From now on, our General Affairs Department and the Main Hall will set an example, sweep away the past lax attitude, and set an example for the entire Jinling officialdom!"

"If there is any violation, it will be regarded as a cup!"

Not to mention how he managed to get into the ranks of a second-grade boss, but he suddenly turned a banquet that was originally a stale one into a swearing-off party and a show of loyalty. He even took the lead in person, drank it all in one gulp, and then Slam the cup hard.

Ah, this...

This kind of anti-customer attitude made Tang Bohu and the others dumbfounded.

"Huang Tongzheng said it well. If our main hall violates the rules, it will be treated as a cup! Please also ask colleagues from the General Affairs Department to supervise!"

Xu Zhenqing quickly poked Tang Bohu, raised his glass high, drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed the glass.

Some officials from the General Administration Department who had come to have a meal were also dumbfounded, and some people in the main hall were also dumbfounded.

"I'm Tang Yin!"

"I'm Wen Zhengming! Please supervise me!" The sound of the two people smashing glasses again woke everyone up.

The atmosphere was heightened to this point, and immediately, the Secretary of General Affairs and other people in the main hall had to drink the glass of wine very reluctantly, and then followed suit.

clap clap clap...

For a moment, the sound of the cup being smashed shocked the servants of the Huang Mansion.

"This...do they know we are watching? So...this is for His Majesty to see?"

This scene almost made Jin Yiwei's cerebellum shrink in the dark. They swore that this was the most bizarre banquet they had ever seen.

They were shocked, but they didn't dare to record it with any reservation.

Are you kidding? Tang Bohu and the other three only found out about such an important matter today. How could Zhu Houzhao trust them? Naturally, Jin Yiwei would follow them.

therefore.

It was less than an hour after this bizarrely developed banquet.

Zhu Houzhao had already learned about this scene from Jin Yiwei.

"This Huang Bao is really impatient. Can he really not wait any longer?"

After reading the record in its entirety, Zhu Houzhao already knew what Huang Bao was thinking.

Obviously, he had only left Huang Bao alone for two days, and Huang Bao couldn't hold back his anger.

However, it cannot be ruled out that Huang Bao is also putting on a show for him.

Huang Bao didn't know that Jinyiwei was secretly watching, but Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it.

"On the other hand, Tang Bohu and the others... have made a three-part agreement, that's fine."

Zhu Houzhao had anticipated Tang Bohu's performance and it was not in vain for him to train them as a reserve force for the future General Administration Department.

"It doesn't matter if it's urgent, what I want right now is the radicals!"

"If you buy bones with a lot of money, you are buying radicals!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't blame Huang Bao. On the contrary, Huang Bao's radicalness and impatience fit perfectly with his current employment ideas.

Because, whether Huang Bao was deliberately acting or testing.

He has done practical things in the past few days.

Once he directly identifies Vice President Huang Bao, those wait-and-see factions and conservatives in Jinling will definitely follow suit and show radical behavior.

Then, the purpose of his radical cabinet can be considered achieved.

"Wei Bin, call me the president..."

"Also, I will also inform Huang Bao to prepare for the court meeting tomorrow, and ask him to report on the operation of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty, and let him take credit and report."

Zhu Houzhao quickly made a decision that the Jinling Cabinet should not delay any longer!

He will use Huang Bao's becoming the vice president as an opportunity to once again push one or two radicals to come out.

"Yes!"

Wei Bin decisively went to make arrangements.

……

"Brother, I heard..."

"You are still renting a house in Yahang outside. I happen to have a vacant house in the city. If you don't mind it, I can lend it to you guys to live in for a while."

Huang Mansion.

Although the meal was beyond everyone's expectations.

But after the meal, Huang Bao personally stayed with Tang Bohu and the others to teach them the business of serving the emperor. He kept them until Tang Bohu and the others took the initiative to leave.

However, before leaving, Huang Bao actually brought them a house.

"Huang Tongzheng, there's really no need for this, we ourselves..."

"Brother, if you don't go out again, then if you ask our General Affairs Department for advice and help, then I will really show off my authority. I also charge money for this house!"

Huang Bao didn't care, he still put the key into Tang Bohu's hand, and then pushed them into the car.

"Butler, see the guests off...send them directly to their new home! Help them move into a good home!"

"Okay, sir!"

The butler couldn't help but push them into the carriage.

This time, they really had no room for rejection. Xu Zhenqing also accepted the kindness on behalf of Tang Bohu, and directly offered Huang Bao the window of the carriage.

Huang Bao then showed a satisfied smile and bowed his hand. Sometimes, this is how tacit political understanding is achieved.

Tonight's meal has actually achieved its purpose.

"Hey, Huang Tongzheng, is there a distinguished guest here?"

then……

Not long after Tang Bohu and the others left, another carriage stopped at the gate of Huang Mansion.

Wei Bin got out of the car, glanced at the shadow of the carriage in the distance, and joked.

"Oh! Eunuch Wei, there are no distinguished guests! You are the most distinguished guest, please come quickly!"

Huang Bao immediately changed his face again, with a smile on his face.

"No need! President Huang, oh, Huang Tongzheng... we are here to announce His Majesty's decree. His Majesty asked you... to prepare for tomorrow's court meeting, and to focus on reporting your achievements in the past few days..."

Wei Bin stopped at his gate, conveying Zhu Houzhao's will with a smile.

"Um……"

"Wei Gong, what did you say?"

Huang Bao simply didn't believe his ears, whether Wei Bin did it intentionally or unintentionally.

"Haha... His Majesty's decree has been brought to our family, and our family has to go to Prince Yan's Mansion... to meet another president."

Wei Bin smiled and got into the carriage again. Before leaving, he gave Huang Bao a mysterious smile.

"This this……"

Huang Bao stood directly at the door of his mansion. He stayed for a few minutes before slowly coming back to his senses. Soon a blush came to his face, and his body trembled uncontrollably. In the end, he even slapped himself hard. Slap, then I feel alive.

"What you just saw was Eunuch Wei..."

He asked the concierge directly, fearing that it was a dream.

"Sir, it's Eunuch Wei who's here!"

The concierge gave him a firm answer.

"Quick! Inform everyone in the General Affairs Department! Go to the Imperial City immediately!"

"Prepare the sedan!"

"No, prepare your horse!"

Huang Bao stumbled and fell, even one of his shoes flew away, but he couldn't care about it anymore and rushed back to the house barefooted. There was only one thought in his mind: The ancestors of the Huang family are on top, and I About to join the cabinet!

　Second update, seven thousand words! The plot of the Ming Dynasty has always been written less refreshingly than the chat group, but it is finally straightened out and will speed up the progress of the Ming Dynasty's reform!
