Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Coming out of the palace, returning to Prince Chen's Mansion and seeing Zhao Can, the first thing Ping An said was, "Fortunately, I am older than you, and I will die before you in the future."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Can was startled by him. "I was not allowed to say that word yesterday, but today you said it yourself. What's the point?" After a pause, he asked again, "Did something happen in the palace?"

Only then did Ping An realize that he seemed to have said something wrong.

He didn't know who he was going to tell these words to, but he could be sure that discussing this kind of issue with Zhao Can would definitely not yield any results.

However, it was too late to change the words that were spoken and the water that was poured out.

Facing Zhao Can's scorching gaze, Ping An quickly shook his head, "It's just that I feel a little emotional seeing His Majesty's current appearance."

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Zhao Can didn't believe this explanation.If you just saw the emperor getting old, you might sigh with emotion, but you would definitely not have such thoughts for no reason.

Ping An had no choice but to tell the truth, "Well, it was actually Zhang Dongyuan who found me." He explained what Zhang Dongyuan meant, and then said, "Your Majesty's health is not good, and it seems that... so the people around him, too. Started looking for a way out."

Only then did Zhao Can understand why Ping An said those words before.

He hadn't thought about this issue before, after all, they were still young and it wasn't time to think about it.But now realizing this, Zhao Can couldn't help being startled.

With Ping An's status like this, he was doomed to always be in a relatively weak position.Although Zhao Can himself thinks that the two love each other as equals, others don't think so.There is still such a long time in the future, if he still does not marry a wife and have children and leave heirs, then sooner or later the relationship between the two will be found out.At that time, Ping An may be criticized by others.

That's all, after all, Zhao Can thinks he can protect Ping An, and Ping An's ability will not be bound by these rumors.

No matter what others say, they just live their own lives.

But if he takes the first step in the future, what kind of situation will Ping An face?Whether it's the courtiers or the new emperor, I'm afraid they can't wait to remove this "stain" for him.

Of course, Zhao Can believes that if Ping An is unwilling to die, there is always a way to leave the palace, stay away from the court and the court, and live in peace.But that wasn't what he wanted to see either.Ping An has done so many things for Da Chu, he should have all the glory, why should he accept such an ending?

Thinking about it this way, I feel that what Ping An said before is also very reasonable.

"Okay," he said, "I'll try to live as long as I can and let you go ahead."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, even without those possible encounters, the two people who love each other are separated by life and death, and the one who is left behind will probably not have a better life, right?That being the case, it should be borne by him.

And Ping An, you only need to do what you want to do unscrupulously, to be prominent in life, and to be honored after death.

There was no marriage between them, and that was all he could give peace.That being the case, it is natural to do our best.

Making up her mind, Zhao Can didn't want Ping An to think too much about it, so she changed the topic, "Zhang Dongyuan is a sensible person, and he's also very witty."

"Yeah." Ping An also laughed, "So I think, after you ascend the throne, you can use him temporarily. Anyway, I am too young to take up the position of eunuch. It will not be too late in a few years. Besides, Zhang Dongyuan He has been responsible for the improvement of grain seeds before, and he can continue to hand it over to him in the future. With something to do, he can feel at ease when he thinks about it."

How can it be so easy for someone who can get into the position of chief executive?It would be a pity to let people go like this.Ping An felt that if he continued to let him shine, he would not waste his ability.

Although the work of cultivating grain seeds seems inconspicuous, once it is effective, it will inevitably be mentioned in the history books in the future.Moreover, Zhang Dongyuan himself is quite literary, so it will be safer for him to write another book and pass it on.

According to Zhang Dongyuan's personality, he should like a good reputation.There is an opportunity to be famous in history, and I will definitely not refuse it.

"You decide these small things." Zhao Can said indifferently.

Anyway, these things will definitely be handled by Ping An in the future. He can do it naturally if he thinks it is appropriate.

Hearing the words, Pingan smiled narrowly, "So generous? But forget it, I don't want people to say that I am a person who seduces the Lord and is a domineering person."

Zhao Can hugged the man from behind, put it close to Ping'an's ear and smiled, "That's too bad, since you've become my man, I'm afraid it's impossible to get rid of this reputation. I thought, since you bear the burden With this reputation, you will hold the idea of ​​not doing it for nothing, and really flatter the master once."

The hint in the last sentence is too strong, even if Ping An wants to pretend that he doesn't understand.He could only try his best to keep a straight face, "You are not the master yet."

"Hmm... I'm an ambitious prince who wants to be in power. In order to keep your future position, shouldn't you seduce me?" Zhao Can put Ping'an's earlobe in his mouth, and bit his teeth lightly, vaguely the way.

Ping An's face was blushing hot, and his breath was a little unsteady when speaking, "Wrong...Since you are ambitious and want to be in power, you should please the trusted people around the emperor. It should be you who came to lure me."

"Well...you're right, well, then I'll tempt you." Zhao Can sighed in a low voice, slowly moving her lips down while speaking, sucking gently on Ping An's neck, and slowly Slowly turned Ping An's body around, met his gaze, "Have you been tempted by me?"

"Of course..." Ping An stared blankly at his face.

It is human nature to like beautiful things.From ancient times to the present, good looks have always been a matter of advantage.Ping An never denied that he was a face control person, and he approached Zhao Can at first because of his good looks.

Now that Zhao Can deliberately showed off his appearance, how could he remain indifferent?

As a matter of course, the two quickly rolled on the bed.

……

On the second day, Ping An began to enter the palace as an errand.

Since the beginning of winter, Ping'an's health has been getting worse and worse, so now the prime ministers have simply moved their offices to the side hall of the original hall. In this way, if there is anything, they can naturally discuss it quickly and ask the emperor for instructions.In addition, Zhao Can would often be called into the palace to help with political affairs.

Thinking about this incident, many people secretly gritted their teeth with hatred, but there is no way to deal with it for the time being.

However, the number of times the princes came to the Benchu ​​Hall to pay their respects has increased significantly.

The emperor was indeed old, but he was not ignorant. He knew their calculations clearly, so he was not happy, but he did not order them to come.When people get older, they really start to like to be lively.

So this morning, Ping An received a total of three princes who came to invite An to visit, namely the eldest prince Zhao Rong, the sixth prince Zhao Qi, and the second prince Zhao Xuan in front of him.

Hearing that the emperor was discussing matters with the ministers, it was probably to avoid suspicion, so Zhao Xuan did not enter the door immediately, but stood outside the door and greeted Ping An.

Speaking of which, Zhao Xuan once tried to win over Ping An, but he probably didn't pay much attention to Ping An at that time, and directly suppressed Ping An as a prince, and Ping An had no room for rejection.Passive so-called refuge is naturally unreliable, so it is more like a mutually beneficial cooperation between each other.

Later, Ping An went to Qinzhou, and this cooperation was forced to be cut off.It would be inappropriate for Zhao Xuan to approach him after he returned to Beijing and entered the Prison of Rituals.He also knows how to measure, so he has never contacted Ping An.

Today, although Ping'an is still just an eunuch, he is no longer someone who can be oppressed by anyone at random. When Zhao Xuan faced Ping'an, his attitude naturally changed.

"When did Ping An come back?" He asked with a familiar tone, as if he had a good relationship with Ping An.

Ping An could only answer, "I came back yesterday. Thanks to His Majesty, I will stay by your side and listen to you." As he spoke, he turned to look at the little one standing at Zhao Can's feet.

Zhao Xuan is indeed very smart, and knows to play the emotional card. The effect of their sons is no longer good, so they simply brought the emperor and grandson here.Facing the cute four-year-old Yuxue baby, who is also his own grandson, how could the emperor not be moved?

And if the son is favored by the emperor, his status will naturally improve.

"This is Lie'er." Zhao Xuan said, "I heard from the imperial physician that Father must maintain a good mood every day. I think children are lively, let Father see, maybe they will be happy."

"His Royal Highness Liang has a heart, and His Majesty will definitely like it." Ping An said, "Go and prepare some snacks, children like it. Your Majesty can also use some." After all, it is not good to always stand here talking to Zhao Xuan, Just find an excuse to go.

"That's fine." Zhao Xuan obviously knew that this was just an excuse, and he had already talked to Ping An. He was not in a hurry, so he didn't stop him.

When he came back safely, the emperor had already dealt with the political affairs and was examining Zhao Lie's homework.Ping An stood on the sidelines gloating and watching, thinking that the children of the royal family are too pitiful, so they have to start learning things at such a young age, and have to take the school exam.If he behaves badly, will Zhao Xuan not let him eat when he goes home, or will he hit his palm?

Did Zhao Can have this kind of experience when she was a child?

But thinking that Zhao Can was framed by Zhao Kun when he was a child, so that he didn't go to school for a long time, Ping An felt that he probably had no chance to encounter such a thing.However, for Zhao Can at that time, I am afraid that he will not be happy because of this, right?

Zhao Lie was very smart and behaved well, the smiles on the emperor's face grew more and more.Ping An couldn't help thinking that in a few days, the princes might bring their sons.As a result, Zhao Can, who has no son, will inevitably suffer a bit.

What would it be like if Zhao Can had a son?Is it as pretty as him?

Thinking of this, Ping An suddenly felt a little regretful.

In this era, there is no such technology as surrogacy. If Zhao Can wants to have a child, he can only do it himself.Of course, Ping An would not allow him to do such a thing, and he would not think that he caused Zhao Can to have no son and feel inferior because of it, but it was still a pity.

However, this sentiment only existed for a short period of time before it was dispelled by Ping An.

No one else, because as expected, the other princes sent their sons to the palace.Because of this, the Primordial Hall was very lively, but sometimes it was a bit too lively.

For example, at this moment, a few children didn't know what was going on, they suddenly started fighting while playing together, and then each of them burst into tears, the sound almost toppled the roof of the Primordial Hall.

Seeing the emperor frowning, Ping An and the others hurried forward to coax him.But even if they are children, they are still the emperor's grandson after all. Knowing that they have a noble status, they will not put Ping An's "servants" in their eyes.Coupled with the fact that they can't be beaten or scolded, the effect is naturally very bad.

After a few times, Ping An no longer had any expectations for children.

Every child is the reincarnation of Omen Star, so it's fine to play with them when they are well-behaved. If you have to raise one by yourself, it's no wonder they don't die from exhaustion.Besides, he was doomed to not like children in the safe growing environment, but he just thought it was interesting to have a child who was exactly like Zhao Can.

Rather than saying that he likes children, it is better to say that he regrets not being able to experience Zhao Can's childhood.

Since it is so troublesome, forget it.

Probably the emperor also found this annoying, so soon, the emperor's grandsons were all taken home by their fathers.So the Primordial Hall was cleaned up again.

Ping An followed with a sigh of relief.Fortunately, the child is still young and will cry when things go wrong. If he grows up a bit and starts to be sensible and know how to please others, maybe he can really be liked by the emperor and become the help of the adults.

The lively time always flies by quickly, so when Ping An came to his senses, Zhao Can's birthday had already arrived.

November 25, the [-]th year of Xiping, is Zhao Can's birthday.Thinking back to when Ping An first learned about this date, it was so hard for him not to laugh out loud, but he secretly complained in his heart: It’s the birthday of Singles’ Day, is Zhao Can’s rhythm of solitary life?

At that time, he would never have thought that the person who would accompany Zhao Can in the end would be himself.

This morning, Ping An got up very early, and the curfew had just ended, so he went to Chen Wang's mansion and cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for Zhao Can.I haven't done it for many years, and the technology has become much rusty.The noodles that were pulled out in the end were uneven in thickness, but fortunately they were not broken.

Then he raised his face and went to wake Zhao Can up, "Happy birthday!"

Zhao Can vaguely smelled the aroma of food, opened his eyes and saw Ping An's bright smiling face appeared in front of him, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Ping An to the bed, hugged him and rubbed against him, "Why are you so morning?"

"Birthday is only celebrated once a year." Ping An said, "Hurry up and eat noodles, you'll be sick later."

Zhao Can let go of him and sat up, and suddenly said, "I don't seem to have celebrated your birthday."

Indeed, because Ping An didn't know when his body's birthday was before, so he didn't have any plans to celebrate his birthday.But after meeting Zhong Ping, he naturally knew all these things.

It's just that Ping An was outside, and Zhao Can still had no chance to celebrate his birthday.

"My birthday is in July, we can spend it together next year." Ping An said.

After Zhao Can ate noodles, Ping An rushed into the palace again, but the emperor gave Zhao Can a lot of things and asked Ping An to send them to Prince Chen's Mansion, and gave Zhao Can a day off.So in less than an hour, Ping An returned.

Seeing him, Zhao Can couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Are you tired from tossing around like this?"

"The emperor's life is on him, so he will not hesitate to do so." Ping An replied with a serious face.

Zhao Can said, "You got up early today, so you're out of energy right now? Why don't you rest here for a while. When you get back, tell me that I've invited you to a banquet, how about that?"

"Okay." In fact, Ping An can't do much in the palace, so naturally he prefers to stay with Zhao Can.So Ping An lay down on the soft sofa and slept next to Zhao Can.Many people came to Prince Chen's Mansion to give gifts, but Zhao Can let the housekeeper pick them up and sent them back.

Zhao Can only asked him before Prince Chen's mansion finished lunch and returned to the palace safely, "Can you come over at night?"

"Of course." Ping An said, "But we won't come back until dark." How about blowing out candles and eating a cake instead of having a meal together on your birthday?And none of his birthday presents were sent.

For Zhao Can's birthday, Ping An has been preparing for a long time.

When he was on duty in the palace, he went through his plan again, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he was relieved.

After changing shifts with others, Ping An immediately left the palace, went home first to tidy up the things he was going to bring, and went to Prince Chen's mansion after dark.

At this moment, Zhao Can is waiting in front of the guests.On his birthday, naturally many people came to give birthday gifts, some of them could be sent away at will, while others needed to be received by him personally.For example, now, the only ones who can let Zhao Can stay in the mansion to have a banquet are those younger brothers who have already attached to him.

Although they are also princes, they were born too late.If the emperor could live for nearly 70 years like Kangxi, that would be enough for them to grow up.It's a pity that the emperor is only in his 40s now, they are too young and fledgling, and it is impossible to compete with the elder brothers. Fortunately, they see the direction of the wind and attach themselves to the elder brothers.

Not many chose Zhao Can.Obviously, it is not a good choice to attach to a dying person. The remaining few are probably because there is really no other choice.Of course, there might be someone planning to take over the political capital in his hands after he died.

But Zhao Can has no intention of forming a clique, and has very little contact with them on weekdays.So on big days like birthdays, they will definitely show up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ping An quickly got ready.

He carefully took out the cake in a special plate from the food box he brought.He took the time to do this yesterday, he was so tired that his hands almost broke because of the egg whites, and it was Kai Yang who did it in the end.The baked ones turned out not bad, nice and soft.It's a pity that the cream can't be made out, so it's a bit of a fly in the ointment.

Put thin candles on the cake, and it can be lit when Zhao Can returns.In addition, Ping An's birthday present was also packed in a big box and tied with a bow with a ribbon.

Ping An didn't ask people to prepare a banquet. After all, in this weather, the dishes got cold very quickly, and there was no way to eat them.Besides, Zhao Can is sitting at the banquet right now, so he definitely won't want to eat those big fish and big meat.So Ping An simply prepared a small hot pot.

He still remembered that when he went to Maoxin Hall for the first time, he prepared a hot pot for Zhao Can.And eating a hot pot in winter is even more enjoyable.Especially now that there are chili peppers, Ping An prepares a spicy hot pot. As soon as the soup is cooked, the spicy taste wafts out immediately, stimulating his taste buds.

After a while, Zhao Can came back.He counted the time and estimated that peace was coming soon, so he didn't have the heart to continue entertaining other people.

When he got close to the main room, he could smell the spicy smell. Zhao Can entered the room helplessly, "Ping An, you made this here, wouldn't you be able to smell it all night?" How can people sleep like this?

Pingan turned to look at him, smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself, you beast, it's strange that you can let me sleep well tonight.

It would be even better if this smell would make Zhao Can less sexual.He doesn't have to worry about not getting up tomorrow morning.

Zhao Can came over and saw the unique cake at a glance, "What is this?"

"This is called a birthday cake, and I will eat one every year on my birthday," Ping An said.

Zhao Can wanted to reach out to touch it, and asked, "You did it?"

Ping An quickly grabbed his hand, "First make a wish and blow out the candle." Then he lit the candle in twos and twos, forced Zhao Can to close his eyes and make a wish, and finally blew out the candle.

Although this process is rotten for modern people, it will definitely feel weird for a big man to wish on a cake.But Zhao Can didn't know, he just felt that there were so many rituals to eat a cake, it felt very... solemn.

After blowing out the candles and eating a piece of cake, Ping An brought the box over and handed it to Zhao Can, "Birthday gift, open it and see if you like it."

When Ping An said this, Zhao Can was not polite, and directly opened the box.Seeing what was inside, I couldn't help but twitched the corners of my mouth, "This is the congratulatory gift you gave me?" A whole set of clothes from inside to outside, including hair accessories and shoes.Most importantly, the color is true red!

"I've heard people say that the year of birth is unfavorable and the Tai Sui is in danger, so you should wear red clothes to suppress it." Ping An said, "Go and try it on."

Since it had a good meaning, Zhao Can couldn't refuse this congratulatory gift.I had no choice but to go into the house and change it according to Ping An's request.

When he came out after changing his clothes, Ping An just glanced at it and was immediately stunned.
