Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Although he had already thought it through when he went safely, even if Zhao Can was really ruthless and got rid of those people, he couldn't do anything about it.

If you want to wear a crown, bear its weight.The high throne was paved with blood and bones. When Zhao Can got it, he had already taken advantage of it.But in this position, you are facing all kinds of threats all the time, and you must eradicate them time and time again.

So sometimes, the method of thunder must be used.Not just to deal with those threats, but to deter others.

It's just that if you know it, you know it, but Ping An himself has never been able to face it calmly.

But Zhao Can did not disappoint him after all.

There are many ways to solve a problem, and power is of course the easiest and most convenient one, just like people with strong force values, they seldom use their brains anymore, because they can use their fists to solve their problems. to all the questions.

But Ping An doesn't want Zhao Can to become that kind of person.Because of such unscrupulous use of one's power, the final result can only be indulging in power, and finally lost oneself.

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many emperors have ended up like this in the end.In the beginning, he was able to be a ruler of the world, but later on, he became more and more unbearable.It's not because their talents have regressed, it's just that they are blinded by power, thinking that they are the only ones in the sky and the earth, and the result of being too arrogant is self-destruction.

So regarding Zhao Can's final choice, Ping'an was both surprised and delighted, and also a little inexplicably moved.Because this change is caused by oneself.

"It was my mistake." He lowered his head and said.After the sudden anger in his heart caused by being concealed and deceived disappeared, Ping An calmed down. He was a little ashamed of his previous behavior of angrily coming to Zhao Can to "settle the score", "You have a sense of proportion in your heart, you should be very careful." Know what can be done." At least he should trust Zhao Can so much.

It's just, "But why do you need to hide it from me? If you make it clear earlier, there will be no such misunderstanding. It's not like what you told the outside world, planning to take back all the power by taking me back?"

His last sentence was purely a joke, but Zhao Can was taken aback when he heard it, "Where did this rumor come from?"

Has he never heard of it?

However, Zhao Can finally understood why Ping An was so angry before.He thought for a while, and said again, "I just don't want to involve you. There is nothing wrong with this matter itself, but we must pay attention to the matter caused by it."

What happened from this?Ping An's thoughts had been focused on this matter before, but he hadn't thought about anything else.As soon as Zhao Can reminded him, he quickly understood.

"You..." He looked at Zhao Can, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Originally thought that Zhao Can's purpose was to annex the fleet, obtain huge supplies, and at the same time attack the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and the officials who had ties to them, so that the imperial court could completely suppress them.But obviously, it's not just that, Zhao Can's concerns are far-reaching.

Once Jiangnan suffers a blow, it will be severely damaged and panicked.They have been entrenched in this area for hundreds of years, almost operating it into a country within a country.But this form is still very loose, once it is hit, it will definitely be difficult to bear.And if Zhao Can makes a move at this time, he will definitely be able to tear a hole in the Jiangnan officialdom that was originally united.

With this opening, the next thing will be easy to handle.

At the very beginning, Zhao Can said some things that Ping An has been avoiding to do, but in fact it was referring to this matter - to attack the civil official group!

Because he guessed that Ping An didn't like this style and method of acting, Zhao Can simply kept it from him and didn't let him know.Because once you know, Ping An will face a choice.

Ping An exhaled lightly, relaxed, and leaned back on the soft pillow.After a while, he said softly, "Actually, maybe there is some truth to those words."

"What?" Zhao Can didn't understand.

"Those who said that you intend to take back the power." Ping An looked up at him and smiled, "Fenglou, before today, I have always felt very nervous, you know?"

"Why?" Zhao Can was not particularly surprised.Naturally, he can feel the mood of the person next to him day and night.It's just that the situation the two of them faced before couldn't help being nervous, so Zhao Can didn't pay extra attention.Hearing Ping An say that now, it doesn't seem to be for those things.

Ping An was silent for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and then slowly said, "I... have been afraid that you will go the wrong way and do the wrong thing. So I have to keep an eye on you, all the time. "

He pushed Zhao Can to this position, as if he also had a responsibility for all the things he was about to do.

Just like what he promised before the late emperor died, to assist Zhao Can with all his heart, so that Da Chu will last forever.For this reason, he carefully followed Zhao Can's actions, for fear that he might accidentally do something wrong.

In this matter, Ping An vaguely placed itself in the position of "guide".Because he knew what to do next, so he couldn't help worrying a little more, always worrying that Zhao Can would go in the wrong direction.

But today he suddenly discovered that Zhao Can is actually doing very well, maybe without him, he would do better.In many things, he has to worry about himself, which is why he has many difficulties.

Ping An also had to admit a very shocking fact: he was actually not suitable for being an official, not even for politics.

If it wasn't for meeting Zhao Can, if the two of them hadn't known each other a long time ago and stood together all the time, then I'm afraid that all kinds of conspiracies and tricks coming towards him would have been unavoidable for Ping An, and it might have become a relationship by now. With dry bones.

He relied on his "foresight" to support him all the time, and supported Zhao Can until today. However, until today, he restrained Zhao Can, making him unable to move forward calmly.

Just like in the past few months, he has been played down outside the center of power, but Zhao Can has not made any mistakes, and it can even be said that the way he handles things is more harmonious. A very qualified king.

So, maybe it's time to relax this vigilance and vigilance, and leave everything to Zhao Can to handle.

Listening to Ping An's "analysis", Zhao Can frowned little by little, and finally heard Ping An's conclusion, and finally couldn't help interrupting him, "This is the conclusion you came to? You want to alienate me , alienate a mature emperor, like other people do?" He gritted his teeth, "Ping An, you don't trust me?"

It's no wonder that Zhao Can is so sensitive to this issue and understands such ambiguity.Because there was a sense of alienation from Zhao Can permeated between the lines in Ping'an, so he couldn't help but misunderstand.After all, on this matter, Zhao Can is more sensitive than others.

The reason why emperors are called lonely is because they have neither anyone they can trust nor anyone around them who can trust themselves.

The supreme position of power naturally cannot accommodate two people.

Zhao Can even once thought about giving up the throne because of this, leaving the capital with peace, and living in seclusion anywhere.Such a day must be free and easy, without any worries.

But of course they couldn't.As the prince, he was already doomed.Even if he said he would not fight, who would believe it?There may still be a way to survive if he stays in the capital, but if he runs out by himself, no one will avenge him if any "accident" happens.

Imprisonment to live or freedom to die?Zhao Can chose the former without hesitation.

Of course it was because he had no choice, but it wasn't necessarily because Ping An gave him supreme confidence, making him believe that even if he really got to that position one day, he and Ping An would still be the closest people who could trust each other .

With peace, he will never be alone.

Facts over the past few years have also proved that his choice is not wrong, Ping An has always stood by his side, allowing Zhao Can to see him whenever he turns his head.But he didn't expect that he would come up with this kind of idea after he just let Ping An idle for a few months for a little arrangement.

For Zhao Can's understanding, Ping An only found it inexplicable, and also a little funny.He obviously just lost his mind for a while, and started to feel a little unconfident. How come Zhao Can didn't trust him?If you really don't trust him, how can you let him do it with peace of mind?

Well, in fact, he just suddenly sighed and complained, just like a parent who saw his child grow up and couldn't control it anymore, and said angrily: I won't care about you anymore.But how could it really not matter?

Ping An raised his hand to cover his face, suddenly he didn't understand where his hypocrisy came from.

But the most important thing now is to appease Zhao Can. He moved to lean on Zhao Can and smiled, "Where are you thinking? You promise me your whole life, but you can't take your word for it. I don't mean to believe you." , It's just... Alas!" He sighed pretendingly, "Do I have to admit that it's because you are so good that I feel ashamed of myself?"

Seeing Zhao Can's face turn around, he continued, "I just suddenly felt that I prefer this kind of cleaner life. Anyway, the plans we made before are almost arranged, and the rest is up to you. There are countless, since this is the case, I can naturally steal some leisure."

Ping An admits that he is such a person with no ambitions.

Zhao Can laughed, "If you want to avoid laziness, just say it straight. You have said so much in a corner, so I can't blame me for misunderstanding." He squeezed Ping An's fingers, "You made me worry for a while, say, how can you compensate me?"

"The people are already yours, and I don't know how to compensate you." Ping An laughed.

"Then go out for a walk with me." Zhao Can said.

Pingan thought he was talking about going out of the palace, so he nodded without any other choice.Anyway, I haven't been out for a long time, and it's still fresh to go once in a while.

But I didn't expect Zhao Can's movement to be so big!

On the second day when Zhao Can issued an order, Ping An realized that what he said "go for a walk" was actually going to Jiangnan!

He suddenly remembered that Zhao Can had told him before that when the railway was repaired, they would take the train to Jiangnan.As a result, the train hasn't been fixed yet, so they have to go there first.

However, Ping An also understood what Zhao Can meant.With such a big incident in Jiangnan, the situation is bound to be chaotic for a while.So Zhao Can planned to go to the town in person.Of course, it is also to make it easier to seize the loophole and tear a hole, and expand it beyond repair.

Because it is actually not a trip, but a business trip, so even though it is a holy car tour, it still tries to be as light and simple as possible, without putting on all the ceremonial guards.Even after leaving the capital, Zhao Can led a small group of people to move forward quickly, leaving the large army behind.

Even with such a hurry, when they arrived in Jiangnan, the situation was a little out of control.

This time the matter was too serious. In addition to the cargo, there were tens of thousands of ordinary people in the south of the Yangtze River on board.All of them disappeared into the vast ocean all of a sudden, and even a single corpse could not be retrieved. Naturally, the family members were furious and clamored for justice everywhere.

Ping An sighed.The reason why he didn't want to do this was because he didn't want to face this situation.Although nothing really happened to those people now, but for their families, what is the difference?

Fortunately, the emotions of these people can still be controlled at present, and even if they are making trouble, they just go to the door of the rich merchants to make trouble, hoping to get an explanation.

However, who can take care of them at this moment?After all, these merchants also suffered heavy losses.

Some of them put all their wealth into it, and some still left some land, but it was nothing at all.Some people even invested in it after borrowing money from outside.Now that the ship is full of goods, all the investment has been in vain, and they are also devastated.

The accumulation of half a lifetime has been lost on this, and they look good now, but there is only empty shelf left.It is simply impossible to bring the dead back to life and maintain the current glory and luxury.

Not to mention that they still work for the benefactors behind them, and those officials don't care whether you make money or lose money in business, even if you don't make money, you have to return their capital.For these businessmen, it is another huge pressure.How could he possibly lose all this money if he couldn't even take care of himself?But if he doesn't pay, what awaits him will be thunder and anger, maybe even a prison sentence, and even his life is in danger.

The officials weren't much better, though.They don't have to worry about losing their current status like businessmen, but after losing so much money, no one will be happy.What's more, the money is not useless to them. Now that it is in the water, many things can only be put on hold for the time being.

As a result, everyone was devastated, and the entire Jiangnan fell into chaos.

This is exactly what Zhao Can wants to see.

And he came here, of course, not to watch a play, but to investigate the official circles in the south of the Yangtze River!

So I took the troops first, and it was also to make an unannounced visit in advance, so that the situation was clear to the chest.After all, no matter how the emperor went on tour, he was still very powerful. When the news came, the side would naturally be ready, and when the time came to investigate, nothing could be found.

Alongside Zhao Can, besides Ping An, were a dozen guards led by Tianshu, and several officials of the Overwatch Council led by Gu Wenheng.

Once here, they were sent out by Zhao Can, only Tianshu followed them.Pingan knew that Zhao Can was afraid that he would be affected again, so he didn't let him know the specific things, so he didn't ask.At the beginning, I went out for a few laps every day, but later I saw that there was a lot of wailing everywhere, and even my friends were reluctant to go out.

Before Luanyu arrived, Gu Wenheng came back with a dusty face.Although they looked tired, they were in good spirits, and their eyes were bright. Obviously, this time they secretly checked and found a lot of useful things.

In fact, even Zhao Can and Pingan couldn't help being shocked by what they found out.

It turned out that in order to assemble such a huge fleet, not only the wealthy businessmen gave up all their wealth, but the situation of the officials was far worse than what Zhao Can and Ping An expected.Because almost all the officials embezzled the official bank in stock as the capital they put into the fleet!

Originally, if they were able to make a profit, they would naturally be able to return the money when the ship returned after a few years, and they would have no profit at all.Such a good thing, naturally no one is unwilling to do it.But now that they have lost money, they have to worry about how to fill the gap in the warehouse.

A few days later, Luanyu arrived, and Zhao Can immediately started the vigorous and vigorous rectification activities.

Because he had prepared in advance, he didn't give these officials any time to react, he just threw out the evidence, and then asked people to come and search.The empty warehouse is the best proof. Although I don't know how the emperor figured it out, none of the accompanying ministers dared to ask questions.

Didn't you see that the emperor didn't let them intervene from the beginning to the end?I am afraid that in the emperor's heart, the reputation of the entire Jiangnan officialdom, and even the entire civil official group, may be in jeopardy, so he is not willing to use it.

As long as they think of this, these officials will inevitably fidget, afraid that one day Zhao Can will find them standing next to them and find them an eyesore, so he decides to check them out.

Fortunately, Zhao Can never had that intention.

Zhao Can brought them here just to intimidate them, to let them know that he is unpredictable, no matter what kind of things he can't hide, and he doesn't intend to move them now.The mess on the Jiangnan side has not been cleaned up, so naturally it can only be done step by step.

If you don't check, you don't know, seven or eight out of ten officials in the entire Jiangnan officialdom are actually involved in this matter!It can be seen how connected they are with each other on weekdays. If it weren't for this surprise, they would have to pay for their pigtails, or even expose these things!

In addition to the deficit, all kinds of criminal evidence of these officials were also found out this time. They were nothing more than the means of deceiving the upper and lower, but the combination of large and small is enough to kill them hundreds of times.

The news that the entire fleet was wiped out had already spread.Now that this incident happened again, almost the whole of Jiangnan was taken over by one pot, which naturally shocked the great Chu scholars. There were a lot of discussions among the people for a while, but no one dared to speak out.

This thing is too big.

Zhao Can was not surprised, because the situation was similar to what he had expected.But expecting it doesn't mean he can accept it.These people are the moths of the country, and what they harm is the interests of the imperial court, the interests of Zhao Can!

Fortunately, most of these people's property has been taken over in advance, so Zhao Can is very calm.

But the more this is the case, the more unfathomable it feels.

But there is also a problem now, that is, after the disposal of these officials, the Yamen in Jiangnan is almost empty.It is naturally not a good thing for Jiangnan that the ruling tool is paralyzed.So the biggest problem at present is to fill all these positions first.

This is also one of the reasons why other ministers did not comment on this matter.Anyway, Jiangnan has nothing to do with most of them. On the contrary, after clearing this group of people, they can take the opportunity to install their own people.So naturally I am happy to watch jokes from the sidelines.

However, it is impossible for Zhao Can to be unprepared for this kind of thing. He has already arranged candidates to replace him. Seeing that the remaining Jiangnan officials have stepped up to take the lead, and other positions have also been filled, these people can't help but feel embarrassed.

After solving the problem of officials, the next step is naturally those wealthy businessmen.

Of course, the imperial court couldn't do anything to them.Even if someone's business fails and the ship sinks at sea, there is no violation of the law, right?

But now the situation is a bit special.Those common people who had bumped into their door for so many days but still had no response could no longer bear it. They started to make trouble at the gate of the government office that had just restored order, wanting to demand justice.

——Since the rich businessmen who hired their family members refused to come forward, they can only count on the court to come forward.

The efficiency of the newly established new imperial court was extraordinary, and the information on this matter was released almost immediately.Zhao Can ordered them to appease him, and then contact the wealthy businessmen to give an explanation.

These businessmen can be indifferent when facing the common people, but now that the court has come forward, the situation is different.If the ship had an accident at sea, they couldn't pay for a life, but they should always pay some money for the family.

But in fact, they have no money at all now, so they can only cry poorly to the officials, or they may not have the intention to see the jokes of these newly appointed officials in their hearts.
