Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

It was probably because the mooncakes were too unpalatable, which made the emperor feel the difficulty of the soldiers; or maybe it was because the exercise was so successful that the emperor felt that he could not treat these big pillars of Chu badly.In short, at the emperor's court meeting on the second day, he proposed the matter of rewarding the previous wars.

This matter was mentioned once before, when the war just ended.

However, the efficiency of the imperial court has always been like this. It is necessary to calculate military exploits, report them layer by layer, and finally make statistics in the Ministry of War.Then draw up specific rewards and pension standards, and hand them over to the Political Affairs Hall for agreement... In short, this is a very complicated and lengthy process, and it has not been completed yet.

Because the imperial court is not the only one thing, there are always some things to be arranged in front, so naturally this matter can only be pushed back.

But now that the emperor has opened his mouth, the ministers naturally dare not neglect any more. They must clarify these things in the shortest possible time and send them out.

However, Zhao Can dropped a blockbuster at this moment.

He played at the court meeting, saying that the performance of the Xirong, Beidi and Changhe tribes in this war proved that they had united before the station and set up a situation for Dachu in an attempt to trick him.And he has verified that this alliance was initiated by the Changhe Tribe.

When there was a lot of praise inside and outside the court, and when he was complacent about defeating Xirong, Zhao Can poured cold water on everyone in time, letting them know that Da Chu's real rival is still eyeing the north.The Xirong people are indeed powerful, but compared to the Changhe tribe, they are nothing.

The root cause is that Xirong said it was a country, but in fact it was only a tribal alliance, and then elected a king.But in fact, various domestic affairs are still decided by the leaders of the tribes themselves, and the king is like a mascot.

This kind of country with internal disunity is very limited even if it poses a threat to Da Chu.

Beidi and Xirong are actually similar, they are also a tribal alliance.And in terms of national strength, it is not as good as Xirong.

But the Changhe Tribe is different.They have really established a country, and once occupied and ruled the Central Plains.Therefore, in terms of political composition, they are more comprehensive and closer to Great Chu.Especially after a split, different internal voices have been eliminated, so although it is called the Changhe Tribe, in fact, the leader has absolute control.

Their cavalry are not only good horses, but also well-trained, and orders are prohibited, so they can be called "invincible".

This is the real worry of Da Chu.After Taizu expelled the Changhe tribe to the north, he stopped fighting due to physical reasons.But he couldn't rest assured about the Changhe tribe, thinking that if they indulged them, they would definitely become troubles for Da Chu in the future.

Therefore, many of the documents he left behind mentioned this issue, and even wrote this point in the imperial edict, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

However, the Great Chu has been established for a hundred years, after experiencing Taizong, Sejong, Xuanzong and the current and previous generations of emperors, they have not been able to completely eliminate the Changhe tribe.Not only that, but it gave them a chance to recuperate.If it weren't for the internal division, there might have been a big war long before this.

Now that the Changhe Tribe has gradually regained their vitality, can they still bear not to attack Da Chu?

The understanding of the Changhe Tribe was a consensus among the entire court, so after Zhao Can raised this question, there was an uproar.If the Changhe Tribe is leading the war this time, and the purpose is to damage Dachu's army, then it is clear at a glance what they want to do!

If the Northwest Road falls, Dachu will not only lose countless money and food, but most importantly, the nearly 20 troops in the Northwest will probably be consumed in this war.There may be more reinforcements.

As long as this battle lasts for more than a year, Dachu's finances will not be able to bear it. When the Changhe tribe drives straight from Hebei, who can resist it?The Hebei army, which can't even pay for the food, may not be able to do it.

But that's not the worst part.The most frightening thing is that the three countries had already reached a cooperation before the war started!

Cooperation between countries is not so easy.First of all, if there is not enough external pressure, they will not be able to unify and coordinate internally, let alone cooperate.Cooperate sincerely only when there is a huge threat outside.

And their external threats, what else?Of course there is only Da Chu.

But there was no war at that time, why did they guard against Da Chu?There is only one explanation, and that is Da Chu's internal plans, which have already been known to them!This can also explain that Xirong and Beidi were able to take advantage of the loopholes, use the gap to target the Northwest Third Army, and even drive straight into the hinterland of the Northwest to besiege Xinzhou City.

Traitors appeared in Dachu, and someone revealed all the arrangements here to those barbarians!

If the previous news was a bomb, it would just make people's ears ringing and dizzying.So now this is the earthquake, which makes people shaky and unstable.It may even cause house collapse and casualties.

After Zhao Can prepared for a long time, every word he said had evidence, and some even had witnesses. If these things were put on the court, no one would be able to doubt him.

Of course, no one would doubt him now, and most of them showed expressions of sudden realization.Just say, why did the war start so badly?After all, Da Chu had prepared for nearly two years.It turned out to be because of a traitor!

This made some people breathe a sigh of relief, but it made other people completely lift their hearts.

In fact, this matter was not without doubts before, after all, what happened before was too obvious.

But since the battle was won, everyone didn't know if the emperor had any intention of pursuing it, so they were still waiting and watching.Because this kind of thing is often involved in a wide range, if you really want to investigate, maybe those people who have just done meritorious service will also be involved.

And this kind of thing can't be announced to the outside world, it can only be handled internally.In this way, would the uninformed people outside think that the imperial court was exhausted and wanted to attack the heroes?So now that the battle has been won, most of the people will choose to make peace when the whole country is celebrating, otherwise the impact will be too bad.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Can directly investigated and presented it together with the evidence, making it impossible for everyone to avoid it even if they wanted to.

This matter, probably only he dared to do it, and was able to do it.

This also makes some people sigh.I hadn't heard of the name of this Highness at all before, I thought it was a bad guy, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.Being able to bear it so far is considered a city in the chest.It's just that it would be too offensive to stand up at this time.

The relationship in the officialdom cannot be separated so clearly.If the boss is convicted, the people below will be implicated even if they are innocent.Or the situation forced it at the time, knowing that the boss did something wrong, but the subordinates could only obey orders.As a result, if something goes wrong, you have to bear the responsibility yourself.Even for ordinary things, these kinds of situations are endless, not to mention the felony of collaborating with the enemy and treason?

That is to punish the Nine Clans!If you want to investigate this matter, a large number of people will inevitably be involved. It is not so easy to find out whether it is true or not.Unless the emperor made up his mind to cut the mess quickly, it would often end up with a large-scale joint case, and instead he would trap himself in it and make enemies for nothing.

That's why most people don't mention it when they know they have a problem.

After all, you are still young!

But in fact, what Zhao Can did was not aimless.The courtiers thought that what he had done was too hasty, which would probably lead to irreparable and unbearable consequences, but they didn't know that Zhao Can was knocking the mountain to shake the tiger and startling the snake.

The traitor was hidden among the crowd, and he thought he must be safe. After this period of time, no one would mention this matter.

But now that Zhao Can is throwing things out like a stunned head, they will definitely not be able to sit still.After all, everyone knows about this kind of thing, but it cannot be brought to the surface.Now that it has been brought up, a result is bound to be found out.

The person hiding behind moved, and Zhao Can was able to grab the other person's tail.After all, this matter had never happened in the previous life, or even if it had happened, it had not been revealed.No one knows whether the driving force behind the scenes is one person or a group of people, or even a big force.

Moreover, many ministers have a tacit understanding of this matter, but one person may not know it.That is the Son of Heaven above the throne.

The courtiers can both oppose and cooperate with each other, and everything is carried out only according to their interests, but these things hidden under the water must never be known to the emperor.Anyway, as long as you act as if the emperor can still control the country and continue to maintain this illusion, everyone will do it very smoothly and are very familiar with it.

So at this moment, after hearing Zhao Can finish speaking, the courtiers were silent and each had their own thoughts, but the emperor was already furious.

"There is such a thing? Check it out! Let me check it out! I want to see what kind of person he is, who would collude with the enemy and betray the country, ignore the entire Great Chu, and become a lackey of the grassland people!" The emperor grabbed the memorial, Roar loudly.

As soon as this remark came out, many people in the hall had uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

Standing behind the emperor, Ping An silently took these changes into his eyes.I don't think that these people may all be suspects, but most of them have something wrong, otherwise it wouldn't be the case.

After all, for them, even if the temporary exchange of benefits betrayed Da Chu, this is their foundation after all. They think they are playing with the prairie people in applause, but they don't think they are the lackeys of the prairie people.

So when I heard what the emperor said, I felt displeased, and there were inevitably some marks on my face.However, it has to be verified carefully.

The emperor was also scanning his ministers with his eyes.In the past, he thought that these were all ministers, but today he became suspicious.With such a big matter and so many doubts, is Xiao Qi the only smart person left in the world who can see it?

It's not that other people can't see it, but they are just planning to hide it!

This is the crime of deception!

In the emperor's mind, this is a bigger crime than someone in the courtiers collaborating with the enemy and treason.Because there may be only one or two collaborators, as long as they are dealt with, that's all.But the civil servants group that united to conceal themselves would scare him!

They can unite today and conceal this matter, how can they know that they can't unite in the future to force the palace and ask him to hand over the imperial power?

The emperor undoubtedly attached great importance to the authority in his hands.Now that he has distrusted the courtiers, he will naturally have the intention of liquidating.

The emperor's eyes moved to several adult princes.Among them, is anyone involved in it?Ministers can force the palace against themselves, but they cannot abolish the emperor's self-reliance. The most likely way is to support a new puppet to take over!

And who will they choose?

"Where is the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice?!" The emperor said slowly until all the ministers lowered their heads and began to feel uneasy.

He was very angry in his heart, but after all, he was a king who had sat on the throne for 20 years, and the city mansion was already very comparable.He knew that he couldn't be furious right now, otherwise these ministers would see his thoughts clearly, and they might really join forces to force the palace.

At this moment, the emperor actually did not believe anyone.

Standing behind the emperor in peace, he felt uneasy for no reason.Fortunately, as soon as he looked up, he could see Zhao Can standing at the bottom.His face is calm, his expression is firm, his figure is as tall and straight as a pine and cypress, it seems that he has not been affected by the atmosphere in the hall at all.

He will do this, he should have thought about it long ago.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple quickly stood up and responded, "The minister is here."

"I ordered the two of you to investigate this matter together, and you must get out the nail hidden in the court!" the emperor said coldly.

"Minister obeys the order." After the two agreed, they returned to the train.

Then the emperor said, "I'm tired, let's stop here today." Then he stood up and wanted to leave.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Prime Minister Xu You suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, please be correct."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and was about to refuse, when his heart moved again, and he said, "That's fine too. All the ministers come!"

After such a big thing happened, if he behaved too calmly, he might arouse the suspicion of these old foxes instead.If so, throw a tantrum at them!Not in front of all the ministers, but always in front of these people.

So as soon as he returned to the original palace, the emperor didn't say a word, and with a flick of his hand, a plum vase placed on the case fell to the ground. With a "bang", the plum vase shattered, and the fragments splashed everywhere. The chief executives who had just entered the room and hadn't reacted were startled.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger." Several ministers quickly knelt down.

In fact, on weekdays, the prime ministers have a very high status in front of the emperor.Basically, when you come to the original hall to discuss matters, you will be given a seat and discuss slowly.And when they meet the emperor, they usually don't have to kneel down, they just need to bow their hands.

But now it is obviously not a normal situation, the emperor is in a rage, there is no reason to say.He is the Son of Heaven after all, and when the Son of Heaven got angry, he lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles.Although it is not that scary, it is not impossible to deal with them.

Sure enough, the emperor turned his head and stared at them intently, "You are all ministers who help the community. I usually have a lot of trust, I always inquire, and entrust the country and the community. Is this how you repay me? !"

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger. There are many doubts in this matter, and the ministers and others have also noticed it, but they dare not present it to the imperial court until they find concrete evidence." Xu You said.

Prime Ministers are supposed to assist the king in dealing with the affairs of state, if they have to report to the emperor for any big or small things, it will appear that they are too incompetent.So he said that they still need to investigate and did not report in time, which is not unreasonable.

But that's something else. The one in front of me is not the same.The emperor also sneered, "Oh? Could it be that there are traitors in the court, and I have to wait for you to find out before I know? If you can't find out, let the other party leak military secrets? Or is it good for you? ?!"

His snake-like gaze swept over everyone kneeling, making these glorious butchers very depressed.

The emperor made it clear that even they were beginning to be suspicious, and now they couldn't listen to any words of persuasion.The people didn't dare to open their mouths at will. If it made him more and more angry and sent them to prison directly, it would be impossible for them to say that this matter had something to do with them.

So they can only repeat, "Your Majesty is guilty, please appease your anger."

Seeing that the emperor was almost venting, Zhang Dongyuan stepped forward to persuade, "Your Majesty calm down, the most important thing now is to find out who the traitor is. The elders are getting old, so don't kneel for a long time, Your Majesty..."

The emperor frowned, but in the end he didn't attack, he just said coldly, "Get up!"

The Zaizhi looked at Zhang Dongyuan with gratitude, but no one knew what they were thinking.

The prime minister, the most personable minister, the group of ministers avoids the way, and the etiquette is extremely high. They are used to being superior in daily life. Now they kneel in front of the emperor and are listened to by others. Would they really feel happy in their hearts? ?Would you really be grateful to Zhang Dongyuan who opened his mouth to make a rescue?

A broad-minded person may not care about it, but a narrow-minded person may not be able to tell.

But what Zhang Dongyuan did was not their gratitude.He knew in his heart that the emperor didn't intend to do anything to these ministers at this time, but just vented his anger.Now that the emperor's seizures are over, he naturally wants to "persuade" him in time to give the emperor a step down.

Naturally, there was nothing to discuss afterwards, and the chief executives left in despair.

As soon as they left, the emperor suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Zhang Dongyuan, Xuanshi Shiwen has entered the palace!"

Ping An's heart skipped a beat, and he finally knew what he was so worried about before!

The Imperial City Division was originally only the department responsible for opening and closing the palace gates and listening to news inside and outside the capital.Among them, the main job is to guard the gate, and the part-time job is to listen to the news.Moreover, most of the news that can be inquired are trivial matters, that is, to play a supporting role.

But after Ping An went to the Imperial City Division, he reorganized it single-handedly, and the embryonic form of Jinyiwei has been formed.They also formulated teaching materials and set up training courses to train the people under the Imperial City Division, so that everyone can become intelligence talents.Under his command, Huangcheng Division naturally developed better and better.

But at that time, Ping An still tried its best to suppress the expansion of the Imperial City Division. Even after he left office, he left some rules that could restrict them.

Ping An has always hoped to maintain the purity of the Imperial City Division, only to inquire about intelligence and not to do other work.In particular, it is necessary to avoid involving the Imperial City Secretary in political strife and party struggle.Before today, such restrictions and efforts were still useful, because the Imperial City Division had indeed developed as it had envisioned.

But Ping An himself knew that in this era of supremacy of imperial power, no matter how many rules and restrictions he made, they could not compare to a word from the emperor!

And at this moment, when he heard that the emperor wanted Xuan Shi Shiwen to enter the palace with uncontrollable anger, Ping An finally understood that the emperor planned to release that monster.

Yes, once he loses his restraint, Huang Chengsi will become a monster, just like the notorious Jin Yiwei in history.They are beyond the law and can intervene in cases arbitrarily, arresting courtiers for interrogation or even torture, completely becoming a tool for the king to attack officials.

Just like what Ping An once said to Zhao Can, as the king of a country, it is unavoidable to be contemptuous of using those secret methods that are not on the table.And it will also make people panic, and they dare not let go of their hands and feet to do things.

Because you don't know if there is a pair of eyes staring at you, whether someone will jump out to arrest you later, and even if you kill you, no one will avenge you.

Ping'an could understand the natural confrontation between the emperor and his courtiers, and he could also understand the emperor's distrust of courtiers, but he absolutely disagreed with letting the Imperial City Secretary get involved in such a matter.He planned to stay and listen, if the emperor wasn't overwhelmed by anger and just let the Imperial City Secretary secretly investigate the news, that's all.If he intends to let the Imperial City Secretary intervene, he will speak to dissuade him.

Shi Shiwen soon appeared in the palace.

When the emperor saw him, he said without any nonsense, "You should have heard about what happened in the court today, right?"

The Department of the Imperial City was in charge of intelligence work. The dispute had just started in the Golden Luan Hall, and Shi Shiwen should have received the news before the morning court ended, so the emperor just asked casually, so that there was no need to explain the matter too much.

Sure enough, seeing Shi Shiwen nodded, he immediately said, "I ordered you to investigate this matter secretly, is it possible?"

"I will die!" Shi Shiwen immediately knelt down and said loudly.

Although the scale of the Imperial City Division has expanded, and now it is in charge of tens of thousands of people, this cannot satisfy Shi Shiwen.

Just like when Ping An was in the Imperial City Division, there was an urgent need for a major case to show his hand, and in the end he became famous in the capital because of the discovery of the imperial examination fraud case.Shi Shiwen is also eager for this opportunity.

When the imperial court was peaceful and joyful, and everything was peaceful and stable, there was no room for the Imperial City Secretary to use his skills.So in his position, he will naturally "fear that the world will not be chaotic", the muddier the water, the more room he has to display his talents!

This has nothing to do with human character, it's just that in that position, you will naturally need this result.

Seeing the excited expression on Shi Shiwen's face, Ping An felt even more uneasy.

When Shi Shiwen spoke, this anxiety reached its peak.Shi Shiwen said, "Your Majesty has an order, and I will naturally go through fire and water, but from my point of view, this matter may involve a lot, and it is very likely that it has something to do with important officials in the court. I am afraid that I will not be able to do it."

This is blatantly asking for power.And the emperor immediately satisfied him, "Haha, the imperial city secretary should not be afraid of anyone! I allow you to do things cheaply, cut first and play later!"

"Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Ping An couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out.

Both the emperor and Shi Shiwen looked at him in surprise.

At this moment, there were only Ping An and Zhang Dongyuan in the palace. The reason why the emperor didn't dismiss them was because of trust, and because they all knew what the Imperial City Secretary did, so there was no need to hide it.

So when Ping An spoke, the emperor was a little surprised, but he was not angry, and asked, "What do you want to say about Ping An?"

"I just think it's all right for His Majesty to ask the Imperial City Secretary to investigate this matter. There is no need to give discretionary power at will, let alone arrest ministers at will. You still have to consider the influence in the court. Besides, Your Majesty has sent the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple Investigate this matter, if you have any news, just pass it on to them." Ping An said.

The emperor frowned, Shi Shiwen couldn't help but said, "Eunuch Qi, is this your idea?"

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"Is it wrong? Of course it's a big mistake! Eunuch Qi should not have forgotten how you acted when you were in the Imperial City Department. Why are you not allowed to do this now? Could it be that only you can do those things?" Shi Shiwen sneered.

Ping An's face changed slightly, "Master Shi, be careful!"

But he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

That's right, back then he arrested the Hanlin scholar who knew the imperial edict, and the emperor didn't punish him.Since he can do it, why is it that Shi Shiwen can't do the same thing as the Imperial City Secretary?Nowhere does it make sense.

Besides, he is no longer a member of the Imperial City Department. This important department should only have the voice of the emperor. It is a taboo for Ping An to intervene in this way, let alone refute the emperor's intentions?After hearing Shi Shiwen's words, the emperor would probably be very angry, thinking that he was messing around?

"Okay, safe." Although the emperor was not angry, he was not happy either, "You go out first."

"Yes." Ping An did not argue.

In fact, he had already expected this result from the moment he spoke.

In the 15th year of Xiping, he took over the Imperial City Department, but a few months later, he discovered the imperial examination fraud case and became famous for a while.In the 17th year of Xiping, he left the Imperial City Division and was taken over by Shi Shiwen.It has been more than three years now, but Shi Shiwen has basically done nothing.

Although this is because there have been no major events in the court in the past few years, he is busy laying out stalls in various places, and wants to bring all 32 prefectures under the supervision of the Imperial City Division.But if he didn't do something, he didn't do anything. The emperor didn't need a Si Tiju who didn't do anything. He urgently needed something to prove his ability.

Furthermore, Shi Shiwen's perception of peace is also very subtle.

When he was under Ping An, he admired Ping An but was not convinced, and he was always brooding.So he couldn't allow himself to be shrouded in the shadow of peace all the time.Especially after Feng Yutang made great contributions in the Northwest, Shi Shiwen was even more irritable.Because these are all done by Ping An, and have nothing to do with him!

Now that the emperor has finally entrusted him with one thing to do, and Ping An jumped out to point fingers again, it is strange that Shi Shiwen would be happy.

Although Ping An felt that he was saving Shi Shiwen's life. ——This incident is not of the same nature as imperial examination fraud.If the Imperial City Secretary really turns into the monster he knows, it will cause a strong reaction from the civil servants. When the traitor is caught and the people the emperor wants to clean up are cleaned up, Shi Shiwen should be pushed out to appease the courtiers anger and fear.

As for the emperor, he was indeed dissatisfied with the current court structure and wanted to clean it up, but he couldn't kill all the ministers, someone had to stay to do things for him.It is normal to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Isn't that what politics is all about?

Ping An thought that he had seen through it, but when things came to an end, seeing all this happening in front of him, he suddenly realized that he was still unable to get used to this kind of cold communication.

There is no favor, no temperature, only interests, interests, interests!

Biting his lip in peace, he left the Primordial Hall and stood outside.

The autumn wind has gradually cooled down.The clothes on everyone have changed from single clothes to jackets. Although the sun is still shining brightly and the autumn season is crisp, it is inevitable that people will feel a little bit of meaning from it.

Autumn is deep and winter is coming.

Ping An sighed.He knew that he had no way to change, even in future generations, there was no way to prevent this kind of thing.Because this society is like this.

But he was still disappointed.

Only then did Ping An realize that he had always thought of himself too highly.He thought that if he opened his mouth, the emperor and Shi Shiwen might think about his words.But in fact, they were all unhappy about this, because Ping An's words violated their interests.

As for the others, it is not their consideration at all.law?It was originally something formulated by the emperor, and to serve him, it can naturally be modified by him.

And peace is not as important as I thought.Although the emperor valued him, in the final analysis, he was just a capable servant, and when it came to such an important matter, there was absolutely no room for him to comment.

Ping An finally discovered his mistake.

In the past, when he did things, he could only distinguish between what he could do and what he couldn't do.Do what you can do immediately, and save what you can't do later.

Although he promised to help Zhao Can, when doing practical things, he always did his best.Never want to do and don't do.Because he feels that the sooner the change, the better, especially for ordinary people.Anyway, this country will be handed over to Zhao Can sooner or later.

But today, for the first time, he realized how much influence the people in power will have on what he wants to do.What he is doing now are all irrelevant things that can even bring benefits, of course there will be no problem.But if he was unscrupulous and raised some sensitive issues, the emperor might turn his face immediately.

Fortunately... Fortunately, he was just planning those things, and had no plans to start doing them yet.

It's been going smoothly for a long time, and I'm getting carried away with complacency.In fact, the feeling that the world is under his control is just his illusion, and he is the object in the palm of others.

If the person sitting in that position was Zhao Can, Ping An would have the ability to convince him, and even quarreled with him, because he knew that Zhao Can could listen to him, and he was not afraid that Zhao Can would get angry and deal with him because of this.

After all, I was too anxious.Without the Imperial City Division, these entanglements would naturally not exist now.

Ping An was sluggish for a while, and then cheered up again.

It was probably because Da Chu would belong to Zhao Can sooner or later, so Ping An took it for granted that it was his responsibility.So he had to watch for Zhao Can, so that the emperor and others wouldn't spoil Da Chu.Being able to stop a little bit is a little bit.

How can there be anything perfect in this world?You can't give up what you want to do because of the difficulties you can see in front of you.Because from the very beginning he knew what a difficult situation he was facing.

——Ping An now feels that he is too anxious to get the Imperial City Secretary out. That is because he knows that there will be Zhao Can who will always support him and wait behind him, so he can postpone some things.But in fact, when he entered the Imperial City Division and decided to do these things, his relationship with Zhao Can was still quite distant, and even Zhao Can himself was still in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was an exiled object in the eyes of everyone.

At the time, he really had no choice.

So don't be afraid to make mistakes.Fortunately, there are not many things he produced, and the really terrible ones are still in the plan.However, when he was not on duty, he had to reorganize his thoughts, even discuss with Zhao Can, sort out the order of things, and try not to touch those sensitive places again.

Thinking of this, Pingan finally drove away the previous push and push, and cheered himself up in his heart.

The road is tortuous and the future is bright.

According to Zhao Can, the emperor still has six or seven years to live.They are still young and can afford to wait six or seven years.

Moreover, it is actually not bad to use these six or seven years to lay the foundation.

After Ping An sorted out his thoughts, Shi Shiwen came out of the hall.When passing by Ping'an's side, the two looked at each other, Ping'an's eyes were calm, Shi Shiwen seemed a little surprised, and the pride on his face seemed to have dissipated a little.

He originally wanted to demonstrate to Ping An, but Ping An's performance made him murmur in his heart.

As for Ping An, he no longer feels any disturbance when he sees Shi Shiwen.No one can save a person who is rushing to seek death by himself.After all, the emperor probably didn't expect to be given the power to act arbitrarily and cheaply at the beginning, which was requested by Shi Shiwen himself.

He wanted to be the second peace, but he didn't know that this position was not so easy to sit in.

Otherwise, why did Ping An retire immediately after the successful reorganization of the Imperial City Division?One reason is that he doesn't want to stay in the position of spy chief, so that everyone's impression of him will be fixed, and the other reason is to avoid such indiscriminate disasters in the future.

When Ping'an returned to the palace with a calm expression, the emperor seemed a little surprised.He originally planned to say a few words about safety, but he didn't open his mouth when he saw this.

Ping An has always been a smart person, he doesn't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, and even if he wants to beat him, he doesn't need to talk too much.It seemed that he had already figured it out.That being the case, the emperor revealed a little more of his thoughts, and he asked, "Ping'an, are you worried that the Imperial City Division will dominate in the future and it will be difficult to control?"

"Your Majesty is the Holy Lord, how could such a thing happen?" Ping An said.

The emperor glared at him unhappily, "You also play such sloppy eyes with me?"

Pingan had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty also knows that the Imperial City Department was rebuilt by the minister. No one knows better than the minister how terrible it will be if he goes to the extreme. It's like parents who know that their children are infinitely powerful, and always worry that one day he won't die." It's like beating someone to death carefully. You have to restrain him to practice his strength and be able to control it in detail before you can rest assured."

The emperor was amused by his example, "You are young, but do you understand what it means to be a parent?"

Probably these words moved the emperor very much.After all, when he thought about his sons, they were getting older and more thoughtful now.If he hadn't suppressed it by himself, he might have started fighting long ago.

The emperor felt that what he did was out of a loving father's heart, so he felt that the idea of ​​peace was also very reasonable. It was inevitable that the sons would fight against each other, and they should have been restricted.This truth is so simple, but the sons may not all know it!

Thinking about it this way, I liked Ping An a little more in my heart, "Don't worry, I also remember what you said before. Didn't you separate Wang Congyi from the Imperial City Department and set up a separate staff department?" ? With him under his control, the Imperial City Secretary cannot be broken."

Ping An didn't bother to argue.

The Imperial City Secretary shouldn't be able to break it for a while, but acting recklessly will break the laws of the Great Chu and the hearts of the world.
