Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

On the fifth day of June 21, 37, an explosion occurred at the Qinzhou Bow and Arrow Factory, killing nine people and injuring [-].

This was six days ago.

The cement road from the capital to the northwest was the first to be repaired, which greatly reduced the delay on the road.Kuaima flies to report day and night, that is, six days.It can be seen that this matter has a great impact.

The excerpt is from the prefect of Qinzhou, so it has been exhaustively described.However, no matter how you describe it, the truth of the matter still cannot be concealed—it was because the employees of the bow and arrow factory accidentally exploded when they were trying to manufacture a super powerful bomb.

Even in ancient times, this was a matter of life and death.What's more, so many people died at once?

After receiving the memorial in the capital, they couldn't make a decision, so they naturally managed to send it to the emperor, and they couldn't even wait for the emperor to return to the palace.

In the past, Da Chu did not have firearms, but because the effect on the enemy had not been seen, many of his own people were killed. This kind of tragedy became more and more, and finally the research and development of firearms stagnated, which is better than nothing.

It was Ping An himself who was stationed in the northwest, and after the bomb was released, firearms were taken seriously again.

So if this matter spreads out, I am afraid it will immediately cause public resentment!

Ping An looked up at the emperor with a pale face, "Your Majesty..."

"Please explain to me, what is going on?" The emperor glared at Ping An.Because of the condescending position, it looks imposing, coupled with the loud voice, there is a feeling of being overwhelmed by peace.

Pingan lowered his head to look at the memorial again, and said after a while, "I have nothing to say."

"Nothing to say?" The emperor became more and more angry.If his posture just now was for others to see, to show that he attaches great importance to this matter, and in fact still believes in safety, then he is really about to explode now, "Qinzhou Bow and Arrow Factory was built by you, firearm research So it started with you, now something happened, you tell me you have nothing to say?"

In fact, it is completely unreasonable to blame Ping An for this incident.After all, she has been back from the northwest for so long, and she has never asked about this matter again.

The emperor himself may not know this, but the bow and arrow factory was established at the request of Ping An, and the firearms were developed by him alone. Even if these things have already been handed over, it is impossible for Ping An to get rid of the relationship.

It is precisely because he knows this very well that the emperor wants to preemptively attack Ping'an.

This is actually a disguised protection of peace.After all, the emperor has already expressed his attitude, so it is not easy for others to hold on to peace.After all, if it is really investigated, even if Ping An will be implicated, it will definitely not be the culprit.

So the emperor originally hoped that Ping An could give an appropriate solution to resolve this matter satisfactorily, as he had shown before.As long as he can "take the credit for the crime", it will be even more unreasonable to blame him.

In the end, Ping An actually said "I have nothing to say"!

The emperor was really going to be mad at him.

Panting for breath, he stared at Ping An fiercely, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it.Seeing the solemn atmosphere, the others dared not persuade.In the end, only Zhang Dongyuan stepped forward cautiously, "Your Majesty calm down, just getting angry about this matter will not solve the problem!"

Then he turned to Ping An, "Since you know it's your fault, why don't you try to solve the matter quickly?"

Ping An slowly came back to his senses.He was just momentarily stunned.Because things came too suddenly, there was no preparation at all.

——But it would be a lie to say that I really didn’t think about it at all.

When Ping'an was in Qinzhou, he made firearms. How proud is he?The power of the bomb changed the expressions of the people of Xirong and Beidi, and they made great achievements repeatedly. For such a good thing, there are naturally many people who want to do it.

Especially the Gunpowder Bureau in Beijing.Ping An went out from the Bingzhan Bureau, and should have been a family. With such a good thing, it would be good for everyone if it was transferred to the Gunpowder Bureau for research.

However, Ping An can see from the previous development that the Gunpowder Bureau in the capital has long been rotten.Otherwise, for so many years, as for achieving nothing, there is no result, only some salutes during the New Year's Eve?

So his attitude is also very clear, and he doesn't want to call this thing out.

After the emperor knew about it, he also chose to support Ping An.So this matter was finally handed over to the Bow and Arrow Factory in Qinzhou, instead of being transferred back to the Gunpowder Bureau in Beijing.There is no doubt that this practice has harmed the interests of some people.

Pingan had guessed that these people would deal with him. After all, he had a lot of things in his hands, but these people did not benefit.

Although Ping An wanted to pull everyone into his boat, it was impossible.So this result cannot be avoided.

He just didn't expect and couldn't accept that the price would be so heavy.Nine people died and 37 were injured, not counting the minor scratches.

"I know I was wrong." Pingan sighed, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Now that this matter has reached the present, it is no longer as simple as solving the problem.If it can be bombed once, it will naturally be able to bomb the second time. Ping An cannot guarantee that there will never be any problems with Qinzhou. In this way, unless the other party's wishes are complied with, the matter will be difficult to end.

In fact, Ping An had an idea in his mind that even if the other party's wishes were fulfilled this time, it might not really stop here.

Ping An has done so many things from beginning to end, it is impossible to satisfy everyone's interests and requirements.Therefore, the colleagues who pull most people on board are bound to offend the rest.So things will explode sooner or later, the only difference is who starts and where.

Judging from the timing of the incident, Ping An has reason to believe that this incident must have something to do with some important officials in the court.

As for the specific trigger, I'm afraid it's because the Ministry of Education's city and the rise of the library have touched some people's sensitive nerves.Then from top to bottom, those people who "had a grudge" against him quickly joined forces to accomplish this.Otherwise, it would be impossible to counterattack so quickly and sharply.

Ping An also had to admit that the other party grabbed his seven inches.Because of such things as human life, even the emperor cannot sit idly by.

If only the factory building exploded, it would be nothing more than rebuilding it.But when a person dies, the nature is different.Not to mention others, even the craftsmen in the bow and arrow factory may not continue to stand on the side of peace.Who wants to have an untimely bomb around them all the time?

If this matter is not handled properly, it will become a breakthrough for the other party, thus completely opening up the situation that Ping An has spent many years building.

After thinking about this, Ping An slowly relaxed.Although his enemies are terrifying, as long as he knows who they are, there is always a way to solve them.Otherwise, they can only passively fall into the opponent's trap, unable to move.

But these, now safe can not say.In other words, these things should not come out of his mouth.So before Ping An said that he had nothing to say, it was not perfunctory.

More importantly, from the corner of Ping An's eyes, he glanced at the princes sitting in rows in the room.Who knows if there is anyone here who wants to kill himself?In front of them, no matter how many solutions he said, it was useless.Instead, it is just to provide convenience to the other party.

"So, are you admitting that this result was caused by your own mistakes? I want to punish you, and you have nothing to say?" the emperor asked coldly.

After venting once, the emperor has calmed down now.He naturally thought of many places that Ping An could think of.Even thinking deeper than peace.In this case, since Ping An admitted his mistake, the emperor would naturally not insist on holding on to it, but instead pushed the boat along.

Ping An said, "Yes."

"Since this is the case, I have to punish you to set the record straight." The emperor said, "You have been by my side for many years, and I value you very much, but I never thought that you would be negligent and make a big mistake. It seems that you still lack experience. Because of your high position, I should have deprived you of all the errands and made you go home and reflect. It’s just that you do have some talents, and it would be a pity if you just buried them. If that’s the case, you should go to Tian Ying’s command and listen to it for a few years.”

"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

"It's easy to do things after you go there. The cement road is also your painstaking effort. If there is any problem like a bow and arrow factory, I will only ask you!"

This is a reprimand, rather, it is affirmation of his status after being under eunuch Tian.After all, the emperor has admitted that the cement road is his credit.Pingan quickly said, "I obey the order."

"Okay, get out!" The emperor waved his hand impatiently.

Ping An hurriedly withdrew.Walking into the yard, he met Zhao Can who was returning from hunting, with a somewhat vigorous look on his face.Seeing Ping An suddenly, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Ping An bowed his head and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

"En." Zhao Can nodded, "What's the matter? Is Your Majesty in the room?"

"Yes. Your Highnesses are also here." Ping An replied.

Zhao Can immediately sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions, and continued to walk into the house.And Ping An also left the yard and went back to his residence to pack his things.Now that the emperor issued an order, the leisurely time living here would naturally come to an abrupt end, and he had to return to the capital to do business.

Here Zhao Can entered the door, and saw that everyone looked serious.With a suspicious expression on his face, he stepped forward to salute the emperor, and offered the prey he had caught, before asking, "Father, what happened?"

The emperor asked Zhang Dongyuan to hand over the memorial to him, "Look at it."

After Zhao Can saw it, he was taken aback, "Such a thing happened. Just now when I came in, I saw Ping An, did he go to deal with this matter according to the order?"

Generally speaking, Zhao Can would not have a close relationship with Ping An outside and give others a handle.But in normal contacts, or when it should be mentioned like now, he will not shy away from it, and behave very frankly.This is also an important reason why he and Pingan were able to hide the truth.Blindly getting close will make people criticize, and blindly getting rid of it will only make people suspicious, so it's better like this.

So the emperor didn't suspect anything when he heard the words, but just snorted coldly, "I asked him, and he just admitted his mistake blindly, and I'm afraid there is nothing good to do. Since he has done such a wrong thing, he must be punished, so I order He went to follow Tian Ying. Anyway, he made the cement."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Can nodded, and didn't ask Pingan again, but said, "Then how does the father plan to deal with this matter? Nine lives, Qinzhou is probably in chaos right now. If the matter cannot be suppressed in time Go down, I'm afraid..."

"I know. It's just that there is no good solution in a hurry. This matter will be discussed after returning to Beijing."

After this kind of thing happened, Luanjia would naturally not be able to stay here, and he would definitely go back.However, it is not so easy for the emperor to travel, and he has to set aside some time to pack his things.So the princes also resigned after hearing the words, and made preparations.

There are quite a few of them who are eager to try, planning to use this incident to make a splash.However, it was only the young princes, they came out with the emperor this time, and they had to hear such important confidential matters, which usually would not have the opportunity.So you must not let it go.

After everyone left, the emperor slapped the table angrily again, "I don't know what to say!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Zhang Dongyuan stepped forward to persuade, "It's not good to lose your body because of such a thing."

"Could it be that these people think that if they make such a noise, I will really punish Pingan severely, making him no longer have a foothold?" The emperor asked, "It's just wishful thinking, wolf ambition!"

Hearing his tone, Zhang Dongyuan still maintained Ping'an, so he smiled and said, "It's not because Ping'an is so capable that it attracts the attention of others. But it's not a big deal to be protected by His Majesty. If that's the case, what can His Majesty be angry about?" of?"

"Why don't I get angry? Ping An is the same. Since you do things, you should be more safe. Why would you find such a loophole?"

"Your Majesty's words, this old slave is about to complain for Ping An. He has been away from Qinzhou for more than a year, how can he be the master over there? Some negligence is inevitable. After all, not everyone is like Ping An So capable." Zhang Dongyuan said.

The emperor snorted, and said worriedly, "I don't know if that kid can understand my painstaking efforts!"

"Your Majesty's protection, Ping An is so smart, how could he not understand?" Zhang Dongyuan said.But talking in plain language, there is no way to reassure the emperor, so he said again, "After returning to Beijing, the old slave will tell him a few words."

Only then did the emperor feel relieved.

Zhang Dongyuan checked his words and made sure that the emperor was not angry anymore, so he went to hold the wild fruit brought back by Ping An, "Or is it that Ping An is thinking about His Majesty? I just saw these fruits when I was on the mountain. Ping An said it was edible. He also said that His Majesty may have never tasted this kind of wild game, although it is not worth anything, it is a rare mountain flavor. So I brought it back for Your Majesty to try."

The emperor glanced at it and said with a smile, "In that case, let's take it back to the palace. If you find anything else on the mountain, bring it back together."

"Yes." Zhang Dongyuan replied with a smile, and went out to ask someone to clean it up.

After Ping An returned to Beijing with the large army, he went straight back to his residence.The others were unwilling to miss this opportunity and followed the emperor back to the palace.Zhao Can originally planned to go to find Ping An, but he had no choice but to follow after seeing this.

Back home, Ping An was packing his things while thinking about how to deal with this matter.

The opponent's "Knock the Mountain and Shake the Tiger" is very good. If there is no response from here, then they may have to take the next step.So what Ping An means is to cut off the hand extended by the other party, let them hurt, and then lie dormant.

It stands to reason that leading the snake out of the hole is the best way, but the matter was rushed, and they didn't know if the other party had any backhands.If you just confront the other party like this, once that side tries its best, it may be quite difficult to deal with it.After all, the boat of Ping An is not stable enough, and the people on it are not all of the same mind.

If it is accidentally scuttled, it will be a failure.

So I can only put the person back first, and then start to investigate secretly, to check the hidden dangers of myself, and wait until the other party has healed from the injury, and then want to extend my arm, I will directly catch it, follow the vine, catch all of them, and uproot them.

As for this broken arm, Ping An has already selected it, which is the Beijing Gunpowder Bureau.

After thinking about it, Ping An spread out the pen and paper, and began to write the memorial, writing down all his thoughts on it, and then no matter whether he left it to Zhao Can or handed it over to the emperor, it would be fine if he could settle the matter.

As for the bright side, of course Ping An can't have anything to do with this matter.

He didn't even intend to see Zhao Can, so after writing the memorial, he paid the money and went to Eunuch Tian.

Tian Ying can be said to be proud of the spring breeze during this time.After all, the roads near the capital are well repaired, no matter where he goes now, all he hears are praises for him.Moreover, the cement company and the construction company are running well, and the annual income is quite considerable, which makes him quite respectable in front of the emperor.

But Tian Ying did not forget who brought all this to herself.Otherwise, he is still working as a eunuch holding a pen in the supervisor of ceremonies, struggling for qualifications!

So suddenly seeing Ping An coming with a burden, Tian Ying was startled, "Ping An, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, I will follow you from now on." Ping An said, "Just find me some errands to do."

"What does this mean?" Tian Ying was stunned.

How could Ping An be kicked out by the emperor?What's going on.

But Tian Ying soon received the news.After all, the cement factory was built in Qinzhou, although a larger factory has been opened in the capital, and Tian Ying plans to move the headquarters here to facilitate the regulation of all parts of the country.But Qinzhou is still considered the base camp, so it is naturally well-informed.

Such a big thing happened, of course someone sent him a message.It was only a little later than the imperial court's urgent report, which is enough to show how fast the cement factory's news channel was.

When Tian Ying went to meet people outside, Ping An thought about it in the room by himself, and really figured out something for him.

——Anyway, the carriages of the cement factory often have to go back and forth on this road, whether it is sending news or transporting materials, there are not many times in short.That being the case, why not use it to develop express delivery business?At the beginning, it is estimated that I can only bring a letter or something, and wait until it is on the right track, and then add other businesses.Because it is incidental, all profits are pure and there are almost no costs.

It takes six days to travel from Qinzhou to the capital. Based on this distance, it can be delivered from the capital to all parts of the country in no more than half a month at most. How convenient and fast?

In fact, this business can also be handled by the court.After all, the imperial court has post stations and specialized agencies, but Ping An is not happy with them now, so he is not willing to let the imperial court earn this money!

And if Tian Ying comes up with this business now, then everyone can easily think that it must be Ping An's idea again.Ping An can also use this method to tell some people who are just about to move about their own value.

You can make good things no matter where you go, do you really want to fight against him?

Now that there is no tearing face, it is actually not impossible to get on Ping An's boat if he is the first to show his favor to Ping An.That being the case, why take the risk?

So when Tian Ying came back after understanding the cause and effect, before he could look at Ping An with sympathy, Ping An excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "I just had a new idea!"

Tian Ying naturally understood Ping An, and when she heard this, she immediately pricked up her ears, "What do you think?"

Ping An told the whole story about the express delivery, and the two asked and answered, and quickly settled the matter, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

After the talk was over, seeing that it was getting late, Tian Ying planned to entertain Ping An out of the restaurant to meet him, "As for the errands, don't worry, you are here with me, I wish I could confess you, and just find someone It’s enough to hang a name in a place. Don’t worry about it.”

"No, no, no," Ping An quickly refused, "Your Majesty wants me to exercise. If that's the case, of course I have to give you the hardest and most tiring job, otherwise Your Majesty won't be able to explain it to me."

Tian Ying was worried, "Then tell yourself, what are you going to do?"

Pingan thought for a while, "I have, I'll go to Jiangnan for a walk first."

"You want to leave Beijing?" Tian Ying was taken aback.I have only heard of those who desperately want to return to Beijing, but I have not heard of those who are determined to leave Beijing.

But thinking that this person is Ping An, Tian Ying felt relieved.After all, doing things in peace cannot be done with common sense.What's more, other people are scrambling to stay in the palace and the capital, because they are afraid that they will be far away from this center of power, and will be forgotten by the emperor within two years.

But this problem is not a problem at all for Ping An.

As long as he wanted, he could pass his name to the emperor's ears at any time.That being the case, there is no difference between leaving the capital and staying.

After thinking it over, Tian Ying said, "That's fine, then I'll make arrangements for you. But I'm afraid it will take a few days to set off with the others."

"Okay. Just follow the rules, and don't let anyone know my identity." Ping An explained.It just so happened that he also needed a few days to arrange things in the capital.After all, I never thought of leaving before, so I have to make some changes to the planned plan.
