Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Ping An did not answer the question of who Jiang Kui was, because at this critical moment, someone knocked on the door.

Ping An immediately walked over to open the door as if he had received an amnesty, and put this question behind him by the way.

Standing outside the door was Fu Yan's disciple. Seeing that the person who opened the door was Ping An, he was a little surprised, and immediately asked in a low voice, "Brother, may I ask if my husband is busy now?"

This... "Come in and see for yourself." Ping An said as he moved out of the way.

Of course Fu Yan is not busy now, but he doesn't seem too bothered.

But he never thought that the knock on the door and the conversation between the two would wake Fu Yan up.He sighed, turned his head and asked, "Ziming, what's the matter?"

"Sir, they came over to deliver things again. It is said that it was left over from rewarding the gods yesterday, and donating it to the people around, praying for disaster relief." The student named Ziming said.

Fu Yan frowned slightly.

Pingan suddenly remembered that Fu Yan's childhood friend and rival in love seemed to have become a monk in the Temple of Heaven!

What Ziming said just now was "coming again to deliver things", which means that this happened more than once.Judging by Fu Yan's appearance, it was obvious that he would not accept it, but the disciples did not dare to refuse by themselves, but came to ask for instructions. All these subtleties are really difficult to express in words.

Seeing that Fu Yan didn't speak, Ziming asked again, "Sir, should we send him back?"

Fu Yan opened his mouth, and suddenly turned his head to look at the painting on the table, then sighed, "Leave the thing, let him go back."

Ziming resigned and left.

Only then did Fu Yan turn around and look at Ping An, regaining his previous calm expression, and asked, "You came to visit today, but what's the matter?"

Like Feng Zhang, he felt that Ping An was nothing more than wanting to be a teacher. If that was the case, it would be fine to accept him based on his previous performance.Just looking at Feng Zhang's appearance, he is clearly very satisfied, why not accept this student himself?

Don't think that these literary masters are high-ranking people who don't eat the fireworks of the world.In fact, they are more open-minded than ordinary people, willful and willful, basically without any constraints.

So if they fancy a student, they are likely to try every means or even stalk him to recruit him.

Ping An took a step forward and said, "This junior is indeed here for an unfeeling request. I hope that Mr. can come out of the mountain and contribute to my great Chu Wanmin education."

"Oh? Are you from the court?" Fu Yan asked.

Ping An nodded and said, "Ping An, the accompanying eunuch in the Xiasi Ritual Supervisor, met Mr. Fu."

"Are you an eunuch?" Fu Yan looked him up and down, and said in a calm tone, "It's a pity."

Feng Zhang watched helplessly.At that time, he himself tried his best to restrain his regret, because he was afraid of triggering a sad incident in Ping An.After all, he had no choice in this kind of thing.Fortunately, Fu Yan said it directly.

Fortunately, no matter how much Ping An is unwilling to be reconciled, he has already experienced it when he came here.Now that he has found his direction and is in love with Zhao Can, he doesn't feel that being a eunuch has much influence on him.So he smiled and said, "Thank you sir. Now I just want to use my broken body to do what I can to benefit the people of the world."

"You just said... what is education?" Fu Yan glanced at him and asked.

In fact, in some respects, he is much more straightforward than Feng Zhang.First ask clearly what's going on, and then agree if you can, and refuse if you can't, and will never consider the face of each other.

Pingan turned to look at Feng Zhang, saw him nodding, and just said that he asked Feng Zhang to come out of the mountain to be the Minister of Education, and then briefly talked about his plan, and finally said, "It's just that in today's world, everyone should It is not easy to be able to study and be educated. In the final analysis, it is because studying costs countless money, and many people simply cannot afford it. Therefore, I plan to set up a library and ask Your Majesty for permission to print a copy of the royal collection. Enter it for ordinary people to read."

The concept of a library can be understood by the two famous literary figures.Because there is a Hongwen library in the imperial court as a place to collect books.And their own private collection of books is also very rich - it can be said that they can have the current status in the literary world, followed by countless disciples, these collections are very important.Only after the disciples apprenticed to the teacher can they borrow these books and make a copy by themselves.

It is precisely because of this understanding that they quickly understood the meaning of Ping An, "Can these books be borrowed for free?"

"Yes." Ping An said affirmatively, "In this way, even if you can't afford books yourself, you can borrow them from the library, which greatly reduces the cost of learning. Scholars from poor families will not have a bleak future because they are not as good as others. .”

"In that case, libraries will be opened all over the country. Where will the funds come from?" Feng Zhang asked sharply.

Ping An smiled and said, "The location selection and construction of the library are the responsibility of the local government. As for the collection of books, some of them will be donated by the royal family, and the other part will be raised from the private sector for printing. Print some necessary books first, and then increase slowly , the pressure will not be too great."

"Your plan is very thorough, so what can I do?" Fu Yan asked.

Pingan said, "I would like to invite Mr. Feng to take up the post of director of the Royal Library, in charge of the library of the world, and cooperate with Mr. Feng to contribute to the cause of education."

"There are so many ministers in the court, but it is unlikely that such a person will be missing." Fu Yan said lightly.

Having said that, Pingan felt that he should have been a little shaken, otherwise he would just say "I'm not an official", why bother to talk about these things with himself?It's like buying something, after deciding to buy it, trying to pick out the flaws when negotiating the price.

He cares about everything because he cares.

So Ping An naturally said all the good things about not needing money. For a while, he praised Fu Yande for his high prestige and his knowledge of the past and the present. There are hundreds of counties in the prefecture. At present, libraries can only be opened in the prefecture. As for the counties below, they can only choose a place at random, and then distribute a certain amount of books, as long as they are enough for the students who are enlightened. When they pass the Tongsheng examination, they will naturally be able to study in the state capital."

"In this case, it is necessary to select or even compile a suitable book. This matter cannot be undertaken by Mr. Fei, so I can only ask Mr. to come out of the mountain."

Of course, in addition to this reason, there is another very necessary reason for compiling books: classification.Today's books are mostly fragmented, like the notes of many literati, which contain everything, including political, historical, philosophical and even some natural science-related content, which is very inconvenient to read and learn.

Therefore, if the content can be sorted out and compiled, it will naturally be possible to separate disciplines at that time.When the knowledge system structure is more and more complete, the corresponding teaching and examinations will naturally emerge at the Ministry of Education, and the education of Dachu will be developed imperceptibly.

The most wonderful thing is that Fu Yan and Feng Zhang are good friends, and the communication and cooperation between each other will be very smooth.

So although Ping An only came up with the solution at the breakfast table, he himself was very satisfied.As long as you follow this line of thinking, you will be successful.

Fu Yan looked at Feng Zhang, "You agreed?"

Feng Zhang had no choice but to say, "Ping'an uses hundreds of millions of Li people to suppress me, how can I refuse? Besides, our generation of scholars, teaching and educating people, and disseminating ideas are what we should do. Since Ping'an has provided this method, how can we Looking forward and backward because of one person's affairs?"

"Since this is the case, it seems that I will not agree." Fu Yan said.

Ping An immediately stood up and bowed to the two, "On behalf of the future scholars of the world, thank you two gentlemen!"

There was excitement in his voice.

Ping'an suddenly understood that after the appearance of the imperial examinations, Tang Taizong was very happy to say, "All the heroes of the world are in my pocket!" mood.

Because now, although the future education career does not even have a beginning, but the two hermits agreed to go out to help him, Ping An already has a faint feeling that in the future, all talented people in the world will pass through this place. Selected in various ways to serve the imperial court!

To be able to do such a thing personally is indeed very gratifying for Ping An.

Now that his goal has been achieved, Ping An does not intend to stay.He said to the two, "If that's the case, I'll go back to the palace first. I'll invite the two gentlemen after I get the imperial decree from His Majesty!"

Then Ping An left Fu Yan's residence with excitement.

Because he was too excited, he didn't notice anyone at the door when he went out. The other party seemed to be distracted and didn't see someone coming out, so Ping An just bumped into him in a daze and almost fell to the ground.

He raised his head, only to find that the person standing at the door was a Taoist priest.He looks like a middle-aged man, but his demeanor is very heart-wrenching. At first glance, he looks like a "good man".

Pingan remembered that Ziming said that someone from Tianji Temple came to deliver things, and said that the person wanted to see Fu Yan.Could it be this person?Judging by his age... Could it be that Qin Haoran?

Thinking of this, Ping An took a closer look at his appearance, and then had to admit that there was a reason for Fu Yan's loss to him.After all, it's hard not to be tempted by such a handsome and handsome man, the woman he likes, right?

"This Taoist priest, I'm sorry." Ping An came back to his senses and apologized quickly.

The other party smiled at him, not caring, "Little friend came out from here, may I ask you to visit Mr. Fu?"

Probably because of knowing the story, Ping An couldn't help but nodded.Then he glanced at Qin Haoran again.

He suddenly felt that the story old man Wen told might not be completely accurate.Because of a character like Qin Haoran, it is hard for Ping An to believe that he will always be in trouble.If he wants to live a good life, it should be very easy, right?

After all, people who can become friends with Fu Yan must have the same talent, let alone such an appearance that takes advantage.

"Is he in good health?" the other party asked again.

Ping An continued to nod, "Very good, but I seem to be in a low mood."

"How do you know that?" The man asked immediately.

Ping An was a little hesitant to say it, but finally said, "When I entered, Mr. Fu was painting, and what he painted was the scene of yesterday. But what he drew was not the lively scene of spring blossoms and tourists, but the setting sun. Going down to the west, the tourists disperse and the flowers and grass fade."

The other party was silent for a moment before softly saying, "Yesterday was her death day."

What he said was endless, but Ping An understood it almost immediately.Yesterday was the official anniversary of the death of that beautiful woman, and the person in front of her was indeed Qin Haoran.No wonder Fu Yan was in such a bad mood.

In this way, he was really lucky. Although Fu Yan was in a bad mood, he didn't blame others.Even after making a request, he immediately agreed.

In contrast, Qin Haoran is more sympathetic.However, no matter how many secrets there are in this matter, but there is a dead person in between, the relationship between these two people may be difficult to ease.This is not something that Ping An can manage, so he hesitated for a while, and just persuaded, "Mr. Fu is not willing to see people now, Taoist priest, you should go back first."

Qin Haoran shook his head slightly, "I'll wait."

Seeing Ping An looking at him with a somewhat puzzled look, Qin Haoran didn't know why, so he said a few more words, "I will leave Zhongnan Mountain tomorrow and travel down the mountain. Master said that if I go, I will definitely encounter a Catastrophe, close to death. So no one can say whether he can come back."

Ping An immediately understood his current mood.This may be the last time he and Fu Yan will see each other, so even if the other party doesn't want to see each other, he will stand here until tomorrow morning.It may not be necessary to meet each other, but I just want to give myself an explanation.

"Your master may just be an exaggeration..." Ping An dryly comforted, "Now that the world is at peace in Great Chu, it seems that nothing will happen."

Qin Haoran shook his head with a smile, "The world is peaceful, wouldn't people die?"

of course not.Some people choke to death when eating and drinking, which has nothing to do with the world's peace.But Pingan also understood what Qin Haoran meant, since it was a disaster, of course it couldn't be avoided.

But, "Is your master really so accurate?"

"You don't know?" Qin Haoran looked at Ping'an in surprise, he pointed to the majestic Tianji Temple not far away, "Do you know why this place is called Tianji Temple?"

"Why?"

"It's just because the masters of the past generations can see the secrets of heaven." Qin Haoran said, "No one inside or outside the capital knows about this matter. Even in the territory of Dachu, there are probably many people who know about it. Why have you never heard of it?"

"..." After he crossed over, he has been messing around in the stall in the palace and didn't have time to pay attention to other things. I'm really sorry!

But is it really that accurate?Pingan asked curiously, "Could it be that even the emperor knows?"

"It's natural." Qin Haoran said, "The late Emperor used to be a believer in Taoism, and wanted to invite Master to come out of the mountains several times to take up the post of National Teacher, but Master refused."

When Ping An heard the words, his heart skipped a beat.Is fortune-telling really a thing? If the fame is really that big, maybe it can solve Zhao Can's problem?

Let this worldly expert say that it is not appropriate for Zhao Can to marry early. I wonder if it can dispel the emperor's idea of ​​arranging a marriage for him.Or it could be said that he is destined to have a catastrophe, and he wonders if he can keep away those who are rushing to get married?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this thing can be done!

Pingan thought for a while and asked, "How can I ask your master to tell the truth?"

Qin Haoran shook his head, "Master said, it's just for fate."

"Is it okay for you to help out?" Pingan gritted his teeth and made a condition, "If you can persuade your master to tell a person's fortune, I will go in for you and persuade Fu Yan to come out!"

Qin Haoran was slightly shocked, but still shook his head and said, "Master has his own opinion, I can't persuade him."

Ping An sighed in disappointment.Sure enough, cheating is not that easy.But thinking about it is also a matter of course. If it is so good, any prince who asks him for help, saying that he is the reincarnation of a real dragon, can smoothly become a prince or even an emperor.

A tall man will definitely have the airs of a tall man.

But Ping An does not intend to give up this idea.Didn't you say it depends on fate?What if Zhao Can has such a fate?

So he thought for a while, and then said, "I don't want you to convince your master, but just say a few words for me when the time comes, okay?"

Qin Haoran looked at the changing expression on his face with some amusement, and asked after a while, "That person is very important to you?"

Ping An pursed her lips and smiled, "It's my favorite."

Qin Haoran's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled. He was someone who had been there, so he naturally knew that the affection hidden in the corners of Ping'an's brows and eyes was not fake, and his heart was suddenly shaken.Once upon a time, he was like this too, thinking that he could give everything for that person, but then...

Later, how many things in this world can be as people wish?

However, when he saw peace, he seemed to see the loving, dreamy, and fearless self when he was young.

"But I'm leaving early tomorrow morning," he said.

Ping An looked at the sky and said, "Then I'll call someone over now!"

"Forget it." Qin Haoran said, "Actually, it will be the same if I leave in the future. You can bring him here tomorrow."

After speaking, turn around and leave.

Ping An hurriedly called people to stop, pointed to the yard, "Shall I go in and call someone for you?"

Qin Haoran was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "No. Master is right, origin and extinction are the will of God, and cannot be forced. In this case, what's the use of seeing you again?"

Ping An stared at his back, always feeling that something was wrong.After being stunned for a while, Qin Haoran went back to the Temple of Heavenly Secrets, and then he turned and went down the mountain.Just halfway there, he suddenly came to his senses and suddenly said, "So that's how it is!"

I always felt that Qin Haoran's attitude just now was very strange, because it was not an attitude towards an old friend, but an attitude towards... a sweetheart.

Pingan suspects that he is thinking too much, and he suspects that the world is the same because he is gay.

But Qin Haoran's last expression kept flashing in his mind, that was definitely not his attitude towards ordinary friends, Ping An dares to swear by his character!

So, it was the love triangle where Qin Haoran fell in love with Fu Yan and Fu Yan loved his fiancée?And the final result was that Qin Haoran married his fiancée!What happened in the middle, and why did it end up like this?

Ping An felt a little dazed.

But at this moment, he was indeed scratching his head, especially wanting to know what happened back then, and how that young lady died later, so that Fu Yan and Qin Haoran, two young friends, became what they are now, obviously living nearby place, but never communicated.

And... Does Fu Yan know about Qin Haoran's intentions?

Thinking about the picture he had written that said "Young people are always sad when they are in love", Ping An couldn't help but sighed again.

He quickly turned to himself and Zhao Can.Ping An couldn't help but feel sorry for him. The relationship between him and Zhao Can must not go to such a point, because it is too sad.Even if the knot in my heart is solved now, how can I make up for the wasted half of my life before?I'm afraid it's still hard to get over it.

This incident made Ping An reaffirm that relationships need to be managed well.Speak up when you have problems, and solve problems when you have difficulties. You must not let these things accumulate together. In the end, there will be more and more misunderstandings, more and more estrangements, and finally become strangers.

Thinking of this, Ping An suddenly wanted to meet Zhao Can as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the emperor granted him leave for several days. ——After all, it is not so easy to ask Fu Yan to come out of the mountain. I am afraid that the emperor has no hope at all, but just let Ping An toss about.If it succeeds, it will be a surprise.

So after returning safely to the city, they went directly to Zhao Can's palace.

After a period of sorting out, the entire Prince Chen Mansion is now under Zhao Can's complete control. The spies are either under control or sent out, so even if Ping An enters and exits the Palace, as long as they are not followed along the way, they are not in danger of being followed. Discover.

Zhao Can was not in the palace at the moment, Ping An walked into the main room on his own.The layout here is similar to his own home, with sofas instead of chairs and chaise longues, which looks comfortable and comfortable.

Ping An fell down on the sofa, then relaxed, and started thinking about how to get that master—Ping An just found out that he didn't know his Dao name—to tell Zhao Can's fortune.Of course, the more difficult thing is that if the calculated result is different from what I imagined, how can I get the master to agree to lie?

It was like finding a century-old problem for myself.

However, compared to asking Zhao Can to get engaged to another woman, Ping An felt that this method was more reliable.Anyway, as long as the emperor can be perfunctory for now, it will be fine.

And the reason why Pingan felt that this method was useful was mainly because he felt that with Zhao Can's current status, the emperor might have started to fear him.That being the case, Zhao Can would not want Zhao Can to further strengthen his power through marriage.

If there is a reason for Zhao Can not to marry, the emperor should agree, right?
