Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

When Wang Congyi lowered his head to think about it, Ping An had already finished shopping around the area of ​​the lower grades. He had already made up his mind, so he stopped eavesdropping, asked Zhao Can for help, and asked for a handout and lesson plans, and then went back to Just sort it out.So I feel very relaxed.

Turning back, Wang Congyi finally raised his head, "My lord, the word "training" is used extremely well, and my subordinates admire it!"

Ping An couldn't help laughing, "Where is the magic?"

"My lord, please see, this training is just the meaning of nurturing and training, which means nurturing talents; while this training means training and admonishing, and it is intended to manage talents. Cultivating talents, managing talents, and training are two words that can be controlled. What a mystery!" Wang Congyi analyzed solemnly.

Ping An found that he actually thought what he said was very reasonable.

It's definitely not because the other party flatters me that I am very happy!

Ping An couldn't help laughing when he thought of the training courses that were advertised on food stalls everywhere in the future.Wang Congyi's ability to talk nonsense in a serious manner, if he is in modern times, he might be really talented if he goes to train.

When he was happy, he said, "Since you are so interested, let you take charge of this matter, how about it?"

Wang Congyi was both surprised and delighted, "Really? Cough... The subordinates are not questioning the meaning of the lord, but just afraid that their abilities are limited and they will be entrusted by the lord."

"No, no." Ping An said, "That money achievement is very interesting, you can just train everyone to his standard. When necessary, you can also let him show his own experience and let everyone learn from it." !"

While chatting with Wang Congyi, he walked forward and arrived near Zhao Can's residence unknowingly.But this time it was very unfortunate that there were five or six classmates gathered in Zhao Can's courtyard, everyone was talking loudly, and the atmosphere was lively, and I'm afraid it won't stop for a while.

Ping An was about to turn around and leave, but was spotted by sharp-eyed people.This person happened to be the one who saw Ping An last time, so he couldn't help but said to Zhao Can, "Brother Fenglou, did that young master come to look for you?"

Zhao Can looked up, smiled and said, "Sure enough. Thank you brother Ziqian for reminding me." Then he stood up and walked towards this side.

Seeing his movements, Ping An had no choice but to stand still and wait.

While Zhao Can was walking over, someone would ask him to invite Ping An to join him from time to time.From their point of view, Zhao Can's friends must be as handsome and talented as he is.What's more, Ping'an's appearance is quite deceptive.

"Master Tiju, why are you here at this time?" Zhao Can walked over and asked.

Pingan cupped his hands and said, "I have something to ask, so I came to visit. I just didn't expect His Highness to have a guest here. I'd like to take my leave for the time being, and come back later."

Zhao Can turned his head and took a look, and said, "Everyone is very curious about you, let me invite you over to talk. If you just leave like this, it's inappropriate. Why don't you go over and say hello." Seeing that Ping An still wanted to talk, he He waved his hand without refusal, "There is no Highness here."

Ping An had no choice but to turn his head to signal Wang Congyi to wait here.If it was him, of course it would not be good for Wang Congyi to wait, even if he was a Shangguan.But isn't there another Highness?With so many people in the yard, it was impossible to say anything private, so naturally Wang Congyi would not have any objections.

The two walked into the courtyard, and the scholar named Zhu Run who reminded Zhao Can just now greeted him immediately, "Haha, Brother Fenglou, why don't you introduce your friend to us? He came to see you last time, but at There was a big commotion in the academy. We all thought it was a new student." Then he turned to Ping An, "How about it, our Tianyi Academy is the best academy in the world, you can never go wrong studying here of."

"You misunderstood me. He was only entrusted by his family to find me, and he will not stay here to study." Zhao Can hurriedly said, "Let me introduce to you, this is my... distant cousin Qi Zi'an."

"I just said it's Brother Fenglou's family, sure enough!" Someone laughed loudly, "Brother Fenglou's younger brother was born as handsome as him, so it's not surprising."

Ping An didn't speak, just smiled and watched Zhao Can circling among these people.It seems that these three years have indeed brought him great changes. His temperament is more relaxed and open than before, and he is more at ease.Ping An suddenly felt that maybe he would be happier not living in the palace.But after all, this is not something that he can decide for him. Besides, how do you know that he is not the most suitable for that position?

After all, as he grew older, his wings gradually plumped up.He didn't shy away from bringing himself among these people, maybe it was to show himself what he was capable of.He himself is probably not willing to take a step back.

After talking for a while, everyone saw that Zhao Can had something to do, so they naturally said goodbye.

Only then did Zhao Can ask Ping An about the purpose of coming to him.Ping An said, "I just took over the Imperial City Division, and only then did I realize that it was a mess and everything had to start from scratch. I want them to be able to read and write, and they don't have to write beautiful articles, as long as they can record the news they get. It's just that I haven't done this kind of thing before, so I want you to help me find it, if there are any lecture notes for the gentlemen in class.

"It's simple." Zhao Can said, "Although there is no enlightenment in the academy, there are several private schools around because of the prospering style of writing. I'll ask someone to ask about it later. At worst, I can get it with some money."

"Thank you very much." Pingan asked again, "What's the matter with Fenglou?"

"It's my character. People who study here are called by characters. The teacher knew that I don't have characters, so he picked one for me." Zhao Can said calmly.

Ping An was shocked.Zhao Can is the prince, and there is only one person in the world who is qualified to take his name.Of course, if he worships a famous Confucian teacher who is admired by everyone in the world, it is all right for the teacher to give him calligraphy.But although Tianyi Academy is good, Zhao Can's teacher is not good enough to be qualified.

He had known for a long time that Zhao Can's feelings for the emperor seemed to be very weak, but he never thought that it had already reached this level.After all, choosing a name for a child is a major event no matter what era it is, and it is usually chosen by the parents. If the parents feel that they are not qualified or talented enough, they will ask other teachers to pick it up.

It seemed that I didn't have to talk to persuade him at all.Ping An had no choice but to say, "It's a good word, but I don't really understand the meaning of it."

Mentioning this, Zhao Can showed a smile on his face, "The teacher is very researched on poetry and prose. He said that he read a previous article saying: Qishu is shining and pearls are hanging down. This is about the atmosphere of the fairy family. Fenglou Qishu is a treasure that can only be found in fairyland."

Taking this as a word shows that the teacher likes and hopes for him.

No wonder he likes it, the meaning is quite clear: all the good things in the world are not worthy of him, they have to be from the fairyland in the sky.The emperor called himself the son of heaven, and he also came from the sky. For that position, he was determined to win it.

Over the past few years, not only Ping An's mind has changed, but also Zhao Can's.At the beginning, he was purely fighting for breath. Didn't you, Zhao Xuan, kill the donkey and want to get rid of me?Then I will cut off this possibility from the root.I want to compete!But it may not be obvious how much he yearns for that position.

But later, as things happened one by one, Zhao Can found that for him, fighting for that position was the best choice.Because only by standing at the highest place, can one no longer be restrained by anyone, and have the freedom and freedom one wants, otherwise no matter who sits in that position, he can only bow his head and punish him.What a contradiction, he is scrambling to carry the heaviest burden in the world on his shoulders, but it is for the sake of freedom.

Especially after being assigned by the emperor, Zhao Can couldn't wait for absolute power.

So he was very satisfied with this unexpected word.At least it's much better than the well-behaved sub-chapter in my previous life.

It can be seen that Zhao Can has really gained a firm foothold in Tianyi Academy now.He ordered someone to help Ping An find something, and within an hour, it was delivered.And not in manuscript, but in printed form.It still smelled like ink, and the temperature of the paper hadn't even dissipated completely. It was obvious that they just got the news and went to print it immediately.

There was no need to ask how well he was controlling the printing house.Being able to use his arms and fingers like this, and one thing can be done immediately after explaining it, then everything can be seen.

Ping An glanced at it twice, then stood up and said goodbye.Wang Congyi still followed behind him without saying a word.Pingan would not think of him as a fool now.Sometimes, the camouflage doesn't have to be so detailed or powerful, as long as it is enough, you will wake up.Wang Congyi's appearance makes it easy for people to ignore him.In the end, he was the one who came to Jiangnan with him. Is it really just a coincidence?

Ping An will not think deeply about this issue, and he has nothing to hide for the time being, so why not be more frank?

Back at the inn, Wang Congyi was very curious about the things he brought back, so Ping An simply handed over all of them to him, "It is agreed that you will be responsible for the training, and I will leave it to you. Do some research and write a plan for me." .”

Ping An maintains a good habit from later generations. No matter what it does, it must first come up with a plan, conditions, difficulties, and feasibility. All of these have been analyzed clearly before implementation, which will get twice the result with half the effort.Otherwise, it is simply confused and bumping indiscriminately.

And these things may not all be useful, and it is also necessary to extract what is needed.Ping An originally planned to do this by himself, but later he found that Wang Congyi was too free, so he might as well find something for him to do.

Loyalty or future, which one will he choose?

Of course, Wang Congyi's loyalty may not mean that he has no future.But that road Pingan has always disliked, because it is just a castle in the air, one sentence will make you live, another word will make you die, and you can't control it at all.Relatively speaking, he prefers things that he can hold in his own hands.

For example, Wang Congyi, if he ignores what he ordered and stares at him faithfully, he will definitely be appreciated by his superiors, and he will be promoted with a word.But if one day he doesn't do what he wants to do, the same sentence can make him unlucky.

But if he seriously considers the training according to Ping An's arrangement, Ping An will certainly not hesitate to give him advice.In the future, as soon as this matter is completed, all the people in the Imperial City Department will have to go to him before entering, the importance is self-evident.At that time, no matter who the imperial city secretary is, he will be indispensable as the chief training officer.

If the Imperial City Division can expand as Ping An imagined, the power in his hands is not only comparable to that of a command of 5000 people?And this experience may be used elsewhere in the future.It is often difficult to shake a position that is promoted by one's own ability. —even if your boss doesn't like you.

After all, in a yamen, even if eight out of ten people are fighting each other, there will always be one or two people left to do things.People with real skills can gain a firm foothold wherever they are.

Just like the prime minister He Youjun who was once overshadowed by Ping An, I am afraid that no one in the entire court knows how much the emperor hates him. The reason why he has been trying to balance the court is probably to restrict him.But actually?

He Youjun was a veteran of the three dynasties. He had worked in the promising position of prime minister for more than 20 years, and then he died sadly because of Ping An's intervention.But even so, he still started from the position of prime minister, and every new year, when the emperor gave rewards to courtiers, his tripod was always indispensable.At that time, the glory that can only be enjoyed by the important ministers of the humerus!

Facts have proved that Wang Congyi is not stupid.He may not be ignorant of Ping An's "sinister intentions" in entrusting this matter to him, but he still plunged into it, and no longer followed Ping An every day.Anyway, according to his observation, there was nothing suspicious about the Seventh Prince, and Ping An's friendship with him was only superficial, so there was nothing to worry about.

Ping An did not bother Zhao Can, and wandered around the city leisurely for two days.After Wang Congyi finished his plan, he came to ask for advice. Ping An discussed with him and revised it, and set a general framework, leaving him to fill in the rest.Ping An continued to comfort him, "Don't worry, it may take many years to make this thing, so it must be perfect."

But in fact, did Ping An really not intend to do bad things?of course not.

It's just that he's not in a hurry.Although now is also a good time, but there are too many eyes staring at him, Ping An is not willing to make extra troubles.

Soon Zhao Can's exam was over.The result can be imagined, naturally it was rated as excellent.The teachers agreed that there was nothing to teach him, and he could consider giving it a try.To finish the exam, it is natural to return to the place of origin.So when Zhao Can said he was going to leave, no one was surprised.

After saying goodbye to his classmates and teachers, Zhao Can joined Ping An and left Tianyi County quietly.What is his origin, and he never mentioned his own family affairs, and it's not like no one wanted to explore, but they all failed.After so long, the students are no longer curious.Anyway, if Zhao Can is determined to take the imperial examination, he will meet in court sooner or later.Everyone believes so confidently.

I just hope that when they see Zhao Can in the future, they won't be too surprised.

It takes two days to travel by horse-drawn carriage from Tianyi County to Chongzhou Prefecture, and the place to rest on the way is a small town called Gan Town.This is a very pleasant name. I noticed it when Ping An came, and I always found it very interesting.Because the place name of a place is always related to the geographical environment or historical changes, customs and even legends.

I was in a hurry when I came here, and Ping An didn't find out the origin of the name.But now he already knew that Gan Town was named this because there was a well in the middle of the town, and the well water was sweet and would not dry up all year round.

There are rivers and seas in Chongzhou. In fact, there are very few natural disasters such as drought. What they have to worry about is floods and typhoons at sea.But hundreds of years ago, this area was droughted for a long time, and even the Hui River bottomed out.But the well in Gan Town has not dried up, and the well water is still sweet.Relying on such a sip of water to survive the famine, the people are grateful to this well, so the name of the town was changed to this.

Of course, Pingan would know about this town, not because he was really so bored, so he went to inquire.He actually saw it in the investigation materials related to Zhao Can.Some of the documents mentioned that Zhao Can would occasionally come to Ganzhen.It's not like looking for someone, it's not like playing, just come and stay for a whole day, and then go back.

This is almost an unsolved mystery in Tianyi County, so it is naturally talked about by everyone.There are even many sad love stories based on this.

But Ping An knew exactly where it was at a glance.The emperor said to let Ping An go back to his mother's hometown, not just a sentence to send him off.Gan Town is so close to Tianyi County.

So Ping An didn't find it very strange that Zhao Can came to knock on his door that night.

By now most of the people had fallen asleep from exhaustion.So the two left the inn smoothly and walked slowly along the small river.This river is a tributary of the Huijiang River, but compared to the wide and rushing Huijiang River, it looks gentle and peaceful, with no waves.

After walking for a while, Zhao Can asked, "Do you know where this is?"

Nod safely.

Zhao Can pointed in one direction and said, "That's the former residence of my grandparents."

But now, there is already a piece of rubble.

Ping An didn't know how Zhao Can was feeling, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.When the emperor brought up this matter as an excuse, did he ever think about what would happen if he came here with Zhao Can?

Maybe, maybe not, but he didn't care.Because that was just an excuse.

"I didn't know until I got here that my mother... didn't die of illness." Zhao Can said abruptly.

Hearing such a secret in the dark night is really frightening.Ping An stopped, turned to him and asked, "Are you sure?"

Zhao Can sneered, "I have seen that aunt in the palace before, but she left the palace when I was very young. No one knew that she and my mother were from the same village, let alone that they had a good relationship. She didn't have to lie I."

Indeed, even if someone wanted to lay it out, it couldn't have been done so early.And if it started only recently, then Zhao Can would have already figured it out.

"But why?" Ping An was a little puzzled.

"Do you know which prince my father loves the most?" Zhao Can didn't answer his question, but seemed to answer it.

Ping An hesitated for a moment, and said, "Elder Prince?"

Zhao Can laughed at himself, "Sure enough, you think so too. I thought so too, if I hadn't accidentally overheard..." In fact, it wasn't eavesdropping, it was the truth that he learned later in his previous life.But now he shouldn't know, it's only pushed to eavesdropping.

He paused for a while, not sure if he was adjusting his mood or considering his words, and then said slowly, "Ping An, have you ever thought that there are first princes, second princes, third princes...seventh princes in the palace. The four or five in the middle Where did Six go?"

Hearing this, Pingan was startled, and thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there were indeed very few rumors or impressions about these three princes in his mind.I only know that there are these three princes, and they must still be alive.Nothing else.

Three princes!In the palace, he looks like a transparent person!It's unbelievable!But including Ping An himself, the vast majority of people have been blind for such a long time.

"You mean..." Ping An immediately guessed what Zhao Can meant.

Zhao Can seemed to smile, "My three older brothers were all born by the same woman."

Ping An was taken aback. In the palace, even the daughters of high-ranking officials like Concubine Zheng and Concubine Shu gave birth to only one son.The queen was even worse. Although her son was born, she died.But someone unexpectedly gave birth to three children without showing any signs of dew!

"Three brothers from the same mother?" Ping An asked tentatively.That is, this possibility is more reliable.After all, if nothing happened to the third child, luck would be better.

Zhao Can nodded, "Yes. After they were born, the Qin Tianjian divination said that these three people were incompatible with the father. So the father moved them to the most remote place in the palace, where idlers would never go. Then They also arranged confidantes to guard them carefully and not allow anyone to come in and out at will. The concubine who gave birth to them seemed to be a beauty back then, so they moved in together."

For so many years, because of the emperor's strict guarding, or protection, these four people seem to have not existed, living in the northwest corner of the palace in peace and stability.Thinking about this matter deeply, it is indeed possible to make up many big dramas in people's minds.

Zhao Can sighed, "Maybe no one noticed that after they were born, there were no children born in the palace for several years. Until..."

Until his mother concubine gave birth to him.This is a mistake, how can it be tolerated?Therefore, Zhao Can's mother and concubine were naturally sacrificed by the emperor to please his beloved woman and son.
