Chapter 1041: Zhang Jing's Eulogy
This official Xu Jin, as soon as these four words are exported, the degree of shock is no less than that of the earth-shattering, without any official title as a prefix modification, Xu Jin is Xu Jin, the unique Xu Jin, the Xu Jin who is unknown to everyone in the country.
Although they had vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, hearing the other party's personal confirmation, Zhang Jing and several of his friends were still like thunder, and quickly knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "See Lord Governor." ”
Xu Jin calmly helped Zhang Jing up, and said with a smile: "Governor Zhang doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”
Xu Jin has already remembered at this moment, this Zhang Jing seems to be famous in the history of the Ming Dynasty because of the resistance to the Japanese, but he was as unlucky as Zhu Kun, he did not die at the hands of the Japanese Kou, but died unjustly, how Zhang Jinggu died, Xu Jin doesn't remember anymore, anyway, it has nothing to do with Yan Song.
Of course, now that the Japanese have been destroyed, Zhang Jing is no longer useful, and his fate has naturally changed because of this, even the same damn Zhu Kun only broke an arm, and now he has mixed with the fat shortage of Yangzhou Prefect, life is delicious, and his career is bright.
Zhang Jing's age is a round older than Xu Jin, and his qualifications are older than Xu Jin, he is a Jinshi of Zhengde for 12 years, and Xu Jin is a Jinshi for 16 years of Zhengde, but Governor Xu came later, and his aura is not ordinary and powerful, and Zhang Zhifu can only be respectful in front of him.
"Why is Governor Zhang here? The official did not inform the Hangzhou government in advance! After Xu Jin introduced several generals around him, as well as Li Yuanwai, he asked suspiciously.
Zhang Jing replied a little embarrassed: "A few days ago, I received news that the Governor Governor fell into a storm and fell into the sea on the way home. ”
"Huh?" Xu Jin couldn't help laughing, daring to love these benevolent brothers was planning to hold a memorial service at sea for themselves, but they were met by their "dead ghost" halfway.
However, Xu Jin was still very moved, after all, these brothers had never met him, and they actually braved the wind and waves to go to sea to hang themselves, it was really heartfelt, it was rare!
Several of Zhang Jing's friends couldn't help but feel uneasy when they saw this, although they admired Xu Jin, but after all, they didn't know Xu Jin's character, so they were worried that Xu Jin would mind, after all, whoever was hung as a dead person would feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Jing said abruptly: "This is all a misunderstanding, Lord Wanwang doesn't have to mind, Lord Governor is auspicious, and every evil turns into good fortune, congratulations!" ”
Xu Jin laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, Xu can get a few brothers who don't know each other to hang him, it's really a blessing for three lives." ”
Zhang Jing and several of his friends couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, this Xu Chopping off his head was terrifyingly famous, but his temper was approachable, his temperament was elegant and gentle, which made people feel like a spring breeze, and he was very comfortable.
Xu Jin's eyes fell on the roll of rice paper in Zhang Jing's hand, and his heart couldn't help but move, and asked: "Dare to ask Governor Zhang, is this volume a eulogy written for this official?" ”
"This ...... Precisely! Zhang Jing was embarrassed.
Xu Jin didn't mind, but said with interest: "Can you let this official take a look?" ”
Zhang Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally put the eulogy with both hands: "The governor is smiling!" ”
Xu Jin took the volume of eulogy and opened it, and chanted it loudly, and the people who had been dispersed on the code just now surrounded them again, including many scholars, Hangzhou has always been a place where literati gathered.
Xu Jin read aloud with a calm expression, and unconsciously, Jun's face turned a little red, the so-called eulogy must first review the life experience of the deceased, praise his merits and virtues, and finally express the grief and remembrance of the deceased's departure.
Zhang Jing is a Zhengpai Jinshi background, the writing is naturally top-notch, his eulogy is scattered, brilliant, catchy to read, extremely exaggerated praise of Xu Jin's life's achievements, due to the exaggerated index exploded, Xiao is Xu Jin's face is thick enough, and his face is a little feverish.
Of course, this is not Zhang Jing's deliberate sycophancy, Xu Jin is a "water ghost" even if he is a cow, even if he pats a sycophant, Xu Jin will not be able to promote him, unless he jumps into the sea after reading the eulogy and follows Governor Xu to the underworld on an errand.
It can be seen that Governor Zhang really worships Xu Jin and treats Xu Jin as an idol, in other words, he is a brain-dead fan of Governor Xu.
Xu Jin read Zhang Jing's eulogy aloud, and there were cheers all around, and these cheers were naturally for Governor Xu.
Although Zhang Jing's eulogy is suspected of exaggeration, it is based on facts, promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes, opening up the sea for trade, clearing the land of the whole country, Jinghai Fubo, opening up the territory, and supporting the community...... These are all facts, and they are completely unworthy of the applause of the people, and what is even more rare is that with Xu Jin's current prominent status, he actually read his eulogy in public, and he did not think it was unlucky at all, this kind of open-mindedness is really admirable!
Li Yuanwai smiled and said: "Lord Xu reciting his eulogy on the dock in Hangzhou today will surely become a good story for the ages,"
Zhang Jing and several of his friends also showed joy when they heard this, today's events may really become "interesting anecdotes" that have been passed down through the ages, and their supporting roles can also be recorded in the history books!
Who is not rare in fame? Especially the literati, regard meritorious service, speech, and virtue as the three immortals, what is immortality? It's your own name, and your deeds can be recited from generation to generation!
Among Zhang Jing's friends, there happened to be one who played with the pen and played very well, and he was a good hand at writing articles, and at this time he was already brewing a narrative in his mind: In the autumn of August, the cinnamon is fragrant, the sky is clear, outside Hangzhou, on the shore of the Qiantang River......
Just as Zhang Jing was about to welcome Xu Jin into Hangzhou City, as soon as he was halfway there, a large group of people were "killed" from the city, and it was the local officials of Hangzhou who got the news, the leader was Gu Dingchen, the political secretary of Zhejiang Zuobu, and the political envoy of Zhejiang's right cloth, the envoy of the punishment according to the probation, and the commander of the envoy came.
"Your Excellency, see the Governor!" Gu Dingchen led a group of magistrates to Xu Jin and saluted Xu Jin while panting.
This Master Gu is fifty-three years old this year, and after receiving the news, he immediately gathered his colleagues and ran out of the city, and finally greeted Xu Jin before he entered the city, but it was difficult for this old comrade.
After another introduction and mutual greetings, Xu Jin couldn't help asking, "Where is Governor Wang?" ”
The current governor of Zhejiang is called Wang Hong, who was also the deputy envoy of the sea in Guangdong a few years ago, and it was this benevolent brother who defeated the Portuguese in the area of Tuen Mun Island, and later this person also assisted Xu Jin in recovering Hong Kong Island, and last year Wang Feng was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang.
Now Zhejiang's political envoys, criminal envoys, and commanders have all come, but it is really unreasonable to see this Governor Wang. It's not that Xu Jin is putting on a show, after all, everyone has fought against guns and foreign haired ghosts together a few years ago, regardless of official position or personal relationship, Wang Feng should also go out of the city to greet him.
Gu Dingchen, the political envoy, hurriedly said: "Don't blame Lord Xu, Governor Wang has already gone to the capital a few days ago, and Princess Yongfu's wedding date is scheduled for August 26, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if it's late!" ”
