Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

However, it was too late.When the guards brought by the emperor restrained Chang Heng, they discovered that he had hidden poison in his teeth, and he lost his breath soon after biting it.

The emperor's face was very ugly.

The way to invite the king into the urn is correct. In the original vision of the emperor, even if the person who came was not himself, he should be a trusted subordinate.At that time, it will be much easier to follow the vine.After all, it's not safe to leave this kind of thing to others.

But he didn't expect that it would be this person.Chang Heng was considered to be the person next to Zhang Bin, and judging by his appearance, it was clear that he came here voluntarily.As a result, it is naturally difficult to judge who the person behind him is.

In the end, after a lot of tossing, there was still no result in the end. How can people not feel depressed?

However, this is also the ruthlessness of the people behind the scenes, and the emperor once again realized this.

If you give him more time to develop, what will it look like in the end?It's chilling to think about.

After a moment of silence, the emperor asked people to go in to see how Dong Ninghui was doing.Two guards ran in and came back after a while, "Return to Your Majesty, the man is dead."

This is to be expected.The emperor left the prison with a sullen face, and the others quickly followed. Only a few people stayed to dispose of the corpse.Dong Ninghui was arrested, and everyone knew about it, so it was impossible to die like this without knowing why, and he had to deal with it gracefully.

As for Chang Heng, no one here knows who he is.Naturally, no one would question the emperor indifferently, they could only dispose of the corpse, and act as if they had never seen such a person.

On the second day, Dali Temple reported that Dong Ninghui committed suicide in prison.So the emperor followed suit and closed the case. A few days later, this big case that was supposed to be a sensational one was hastily closed.As for how Dong Ninghui died, this issue is kept secret by everyone and will not be pursued.

Whether it is suicide or being silenced or even the emperor wants him to die, it's none of other people's business anyway.The early conclusion of the case can also let everyone breathe a sigh of relief.In case you don't know when, you will be implicated in it.

Although the case was settled quickly, it still dragged on until the twelfth lunar month.A few days later, it was Laba.

From this day onwards, it marks the beginning of the New Year's Eve. Unless it is a matter of great urgency and life-threatening, the atmosphere in the court will be very relaxed. Many cases and matters will be postponed. The most important thing at present is It is to create a happy and peaceful Chinese New Year atmosphere.

Early in the morning, Zhao Can got up, put on a full set of prince's court clothes, and went to Benchu ​​Hall to say hello.

Not only him, but all the princes and ministers had to go to Benchu ​​Hall to kowtow to the emperor.Then the emperor would write down blessings to them.In addition, you can also receive the special eight-treasure porridge in the palace, and then everyone goes home to drink porridge, which is considered a holiday.

Zhao Can lived in the palace, so he came early.After a while, the thirteen princes of the Celestial Dynasty also came over and greeted Zhao Can with smiles.Now Zhao Can's reputation in the court is very high, which naturally makes other princes envious and jealous.

Especially those who are young and have not yet married.

In fact, Zhao Can was not a few years older than them, and he was not married yet, but he was able to enter the court to discuss affairs, and even had his own team.And they still have to stay in the study in the upper study right now.

Fortunately, there is already news that the emperor will marry them, and after they get married next year, they will be able to move out of the palace and start a mansion.

At that time, Zhao Can will also move out with them.Thinking about it this way, everyone felt balanced again.

No matter what, compared to other brothers, Zhao Can is always closer to them.Although they are all sons of the emperor, not everyone wants that position—or, some people can see their own weight clearly, and won’t think about that position—in this way, finding a capable elder brother Attachment is a good choice.

Men can't help admiring the strong. Compared to Zhao Rong and Zhao Xuan, everything Zhao Can owns was built by him bit by bit, which is naturally more admirable.

So the three acted very close under the guise.As for what they think in their hearts, it is unknown.

But Zhao Can didn't care about it.If he is sincerely attached, it would be better if he can help. If he has other thoughts, then he will not waste his energy to take care of it, just maintain the superficial affection.

After waiting for a while, the princes who lived outside the palace hurried over.

The princes were arranged according to age, and Zhao Can was standing right behind Zhao Qi.Zhao Qi's complexion was very bad. When he saw Zhao Can, he couldn't help but stab, "Seventh brother came really early, it's convenient to live in the palace."

"It's not as good as Sixth Brother getting married early." Zhao Can said with a smile, "I don't see Sixth Brother's complexion is very good. Could it be that he didn't sleep well last night? It's a big holiday, is there anything else to worry about?"

"Seventh brother was joking." Zhao Qi pulled out a stiff smile, "Seventh brother, should he consider getting married?"

"Yeah, I heard that the father is selecting ladies, maybe after a while, there will be a decree." Zhao Wen also turned his head and said with a smile, "I don't know which lady the seventh brother will marry. What about it? Or does Seventh Brother already have someone he likes?"

These brothers are obviously very concerned about Zhao Can's marriage.After all, if Zhao Can now adds a powerful wife family, then others may not be able to suppress him.

However, there are also people who have a plan.They can think of this, and the emperor will not fail to think of it, and maybe he will adopt a balancing strategy, referring to a not-so-good family of wives.So everyone was waiting to see Zhao Can's joke.

Their marriage was basically chosen by Concubine Zheng with the consent of the emperor.Although Concubine Zheng would not be willing to let them have a strong family of wives, but it is not bad.Even Zhao Kun, who has been silent, married the prostitute daughter of a rich family.

If Zhao Can's wife has a lower status than the others, I don't know if he can still hold his head high among his brothers?

"That's not to say, I think if the seventh brother is the one he loves, he won't care about his family status?" Zhao Qi said suddenly.

Zhao Can couldn't help but glanced at him. He always felt that the words meant something, but they were too vague, so he could only say, "Marriage is a matter of course, and it is natural to obey the orders of your parents."

Everyone stopped talking.After a while, Zhang Dongyuan came out of the hall and invited them in.

There is no court meeting today, the emperor has just had breakfast and is writing blessings.Ping An was grinding ink for him, while someone else was cutting paper and washing pens, very busy.There is no brazier in the hall, but because the earth dragon is burned, the warmth is harmonious.

As soon as Zhao Can entered the door, he saw Ping An.It's a pity that he was lowering his eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, grinding the ink without squinting, and didn't even look this way.

After the emperor finished writing a word and raised his head, he had no choice but to go up with his brothers to say hello.

When he turned around, he saw that Ping An had put away the ink stick and retreated to the window.The window was half open, and a red plum tree outside the window was in full bloom, which made Zhao Can's heart skip a beat.

However, there is a large crowd and there are too many people, so naturally nothing can be done.On the other hand, Zhao Qi, after the end of the greeting, stepped back to watch the emperor write, and suddenly smiled, "The little eunuch will choose a place to stand, and he looks pretty good when he sees the plum blossoms on the tree." He turned his head while talking. Looking at Zhao Can, "Seventh brother, do you think so?"

His voice was not low, many people heard the words and looked towards the place where Ping An was.Zhao Can's heart tightened, and finally realized that something was wrong with Zhao Qi.

He seemed to be testing himself all the time.

Could it be that he got some news?Or just pure random guesswork?But could it be a coincidence that Dudu pointed out Ping An?

Zhao Can's heart suddenly became confused.If the relationship between Ping An and himself is known, it will definitely not be a good thing.If it's just that he might be hijacked by others, that's all.But judging by Zhao Qi's eagerness to try, maybe he will directly poke it out.

Fortunately, he has long been used to showing no emotion on his face, so he just smiled and said, "I didn't know that Sixth Brother would care about this."

"It's just idle and boring." Zhao Qi stared at him and said.

Zhao Can just smiled lightly, "I see. But I would like to advise Sixth Brother, even a little eunuch is still in front of Father, so you should be more careful."

Zhao Qi's complexion changed, and finally he stopped talking.

Ping An didn't know that he had appeared in the topic.There was nothing he had to do at the moment, so he stood there in a daze, because he was very skilled in business, so no one could see where his thoughts had gone.

The emperor's New Year's blessing was just a formality, so after writing more than a dozen sheets, he beckoned his sons to come over and write.This can be regarded as a kind of honor, so the princes went up to write one by one, and the emperor stood aside to comment.

By this time, naturally no one will pay attention to safety.Even Zhao Can, who could not avoid being spotted, did not dare to look over at him.

In fact, Ping An was thinking that there might be a chance to meet Zhao Can outside the palace today.Although Laba is not a big festival, it is a festival anyway, and it would be great if we can celebrate it together.

After Zhao Can left the Primordial Palace, he immediately sent someone to investigate this matter.

He will not hand over his slim hopes to God, expecting that Zhao Qi's temptations are just coincidences.His city is quite deep, and if he can show it, he probably already knows something.The most important thing now is, how much does he know and how?Then you can decide for yourself how to respond.

In fact, if you only know that Zhao Can has contacts with Ping An, then it's not surprising.Not to mention Zhao Can, but the other princes, who hasn't made friends with the people in front of the emperor?

In this matter, it is also good to be able to help a little more.

After explaining, Zhao Can left the palace, intending to wait for him in a safe residence.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Can went to the east room familiarly, took out the charcoal, and lit the brazier.This way, you won't feel cold when you get home safely.

Because of Zhao Can's relationship, although Ping An bought the house, he didn't hire anyone.Therefore, more than half of the Dafa house can only be temporarily locked up, leaving only the main courtyard as a safe place to live.It is also because of this that Zhao Can has to do everything by himself when he comes here.

But Zhao Can liked this feeling very much.

Perhaps because this is a safe place to live, every time he comes here, he can completely relax his nerves that are getting closer and closer, and take a good rest.

Although the place is small and inconspicuous, Ping An arranges it very comfortably.Especially the room on the east side is his daily living place, so everything is done according to his preferences.

There is a small table under the window with a set of tea sets on it.On both sides of the small table are long beard beds, which are more similar to modern sofas, but the bottom is made of wood, but the top is covered with thick cushions and soft mattresses. It is a great enjoyment to drink a cup of tea on it. .

Because it is cold in winter, a thick cover was put on the small table to completely cover it.Zhao Can waited for the charcoal pot to burn, then put it into a wooden box with porcelain buttons, covered it with a vent hole, and stuffed it into a small table.When the time comes, just stretch your legs in and you won't feel cold anymore.

After a while, he came back safely, and seeing Zhao Can there, a smile appeared on his face immediately.The two have always had a tacit understanding in this matter.

"How long have you been here?" Seeing that all the preparations had been done, Ping An couldn't help asking.Put down the food box in your hand.

Zhao Can said, "Not long ago. Was this brought out from the palace?"

"Laba porridge." Ping An said, "Don't you have it too?"

"I gave them my share." Zhao Can said casually, "I know you have it here too."

Ping An sat down next to Zhao Can, rubbed his hands, and opened the food box.Laba porridge was made overnight last night, and it was fragrant and thick until this morning.But later it was frozen in ice and snow, and by now it had completely cooled down, forming a thin layer of ice.

"Warm it up on a brazier?" Zhao Can said.Naturally, something so cold cannot be eaten directly.

Pingan shook his head, scooped up a spoonful of the frozen part and stuffed it into his mouth, then sighed, "The long-lost popsicle!"

He remembered that when he was a child, there were red bean popsicles sold on the street, which cost [-] cents each, and vegetarian sugar popsicles, which cost [-] cents each.In summer, children basically buy one.Such a long childhood memory can still be remembered clearly.

If Ping An still misses that world, then what he misses are probably these foreign things that once appeared in his life!Convenient transportation, modern furniture, elevators, flush toilets, and of course the most important thing is the Internet.

Zhao Can frowned, for the expression on Ping An's face.

He saw it once before, when he was completely honest with Ping An.He didn't know what Ping An was thinking of, but he didn't like it very much.It seems that he is missing another world that has nothing to do with him and is impossible to reach.

"What are you thinking?" He snatched the spoon from Ping'an's hand and ate a spoonful of ice, then frowned, "It's too cold, don't eat like that." Then he put it on the brazier to heat it up without any explanation.

To heat porridge, the brazier can only be taken out temporarily.Ping An unfolded the quilt on the sofa, wrapped them both up, and said, "By the way, it's inconvenient to ask you when I'm writing a letter, what's going on with Dong Ninghui?"

Because on the emperor's side, Ping'an was a person who stayed away from these things and focused on running newspapers, so apart from trying to persuade the emperor to push the ducks to the shelves that day, Ping'an never asked about this matter again.And this kind of thing, no one in the palace would dare to discuss it.

But Ping An felt that Zhao Can must know.

Zhao Can talked about Chang Heng's matter, "So, our emperor was tricked once. That Chang Heng is Zhang Concubine's man, and it is normal to help Zhang Concubine's son, it is impossible to be sure. This trick can It's really ruthless enough to limit the scope to the three princes, but it's impossible to be sure who it is."

Ping An didn't expect such a thing to happen, and couldn't help but say, "Is that Chang Heng here to make trouble?"

Zhao Can laughed, "That's about it. Concubine Zhang doesn't know Chang Heng's identity, but the emperor knows but doesn't say anything. I don't know if he will take revenge on Concubine Zhang after this incident."

When he said this, there was a bit of sarcasm on his face.As soon as Ping'an thought about it, he knew that he was thinking of his mother and concubine who had been angered.Zhao Can's heart knot about this matter is probably deeper than he thought.

Thinking of this, Pingan said, "Whatever, wouldn't it be more interesting to let their dog bite the dog?"

"That's probably what Chang Heng meant. After I got to know this person, I had someone investigate and found out that he had come to Concubine Zhang's side very early and gained his trust. And I'm afraid you can't believe that my three elder brothers are all I trust him very much. I don't know what he secretly instilled in them." Zhao Can said, "His scheming is so deep, it is simply scary."

In his previous life, this person had never been exposed from the beginning to the end.But if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid there is his shadow in many things.Especially later Zhao Guan, Zhao Wen and Zhao Qi messed up their positions and ruined a good game of chess. In the end, none of the three of them got the benefit, which is simply suspicious.

Zhao Can used to think it was strange, with such means and people in the city, why can't even deal with his other two brothers?But it turned out that there was such a public case in it.

Pingan thought for a while, and said, "Although so, who did it, His Majesty should know who did it? You probably guessed it too?"

"It should be Zhao Qi." Zhao Can said.If he was still skeptical before today, then seeing Zhao Qi's performance today, he is almost [-]% sure.

Before this, almost no one had paid attention to him, which shows the depth of his hiding.Speaking of which, I should also thank Chang Heng.

Ping An couldn't help asking, "How do you know? Did this happen in your previous life?"

Although Ping An knew that Zhao Can was reborn, but only knew that he was killed by Zhao Can, and had never asked about the others. Now he couldn't help being curious.

Zhao Can shook her head, "No."

But when he said this, he suddenly froze, and a question that he had never thought of before flashed in his mind.

Seeing his expression, Pingan quickly asked, "What did you think of?"

"In my previous life, I never discovered the existence of Chang Heng. It was my three elder brothers who turned against each other in the end, calculated each other, consumed each other, and there was no good result. I just suddenly thought that although I died in my previous life, Zhao Xuan will be safe." Are you on the throne safely?" Zhao Can said.

Chang Heng was still hiding in the dark. He hated the emperor, and he also angered the entire royal family of Chu, the royal family surnamed Zhao.Under such circumstances, if he had the opportunity, would he mess with it?At that time, Zhao Xuan thought that his victory was in sight, and he no longer had scruples and vigilance, just like himself.If Chang Heng had given him a blow at that time, what would have happened?

Thinking of this, Zhao Can couldn't help taking a deep breath.

If it weren't for the fact that many things in this life were different from those in the previous life, which eventually led to Dong Ninghui's accident, and Chang Heng would not have exposed it in advance if he wanted to silence him.I didn't know that this person existed, maybe I would fall again.

Sure enough, even if you have experienced it once, you can't say that you know everything, not to mention that many things are completely different from the previous life?Zhao Can put his mentality back in order to prevent himself from thinking that he has the advantage of being a prophet, not knowing how to be vigilant, and instead falling into the schemes of others.

However, if you think about it carefully, all these differences actually start with peace.Thinking of this, Zhao Can opened his arms and embraced Ping An, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Ping An."

"Thank me for what?" Ping An was a little confused, how did the topic jump here?Are you talking about something from your previous life?

Zhao Can smiled, "I suddenly realized that my vision in my previous life was actually very narrow. From now on, let's not bring up the things in my previous life. Just pretend that these things never happened, and start from the beginning."

"Okay." Ping An also laughed.

Seeing that Zhao Can's eyes were about to change, taking advantage of the serious atmosphere, Ping An hurriedly asked, "That Zhao Qi, what are you going to do?"

Mentioning him, Zhao Can's eyes darkened slightly, "I suspect he knows about our relationship."

"What?" Ping An was surprised.This is not a small problem, we must pay attention to it, "How did he know?"

Zhao Can shook his head, "I asked someone to investigate." Then he told what happened today to prove that his guess was not groundless.

Ping An couldn't help but glanced at Zhao Can. When he mentioned that the emperor was going to marry him, the expression on his face didn't change, as if this question wasn't important at all, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

But now is not the time to think about it. He pressed his thoughts down, recalled what happened before, and said, "Up to now, the only person I have found who may know our relationship is that Zhang Chun. In the northwest Do you still remember the time? Could he belong to Zhao Qi?"

"It's possible." Zhao Can narrowed his eyes, Zhang Chun was one of the generals who were sent to the capital for interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.It's just that the suspicion was cleared later, and now he has been released, and he is living in the post house. After paying homage to the emperor after the Chinese New Year, he will go back to the northwest.

Regardless of whether he is Zhao Qi's person or not, Zhao Qi is very likely to get this news from him.
