Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Zhao Can didn't know his tricks to stir up the water, which made the whole thing more confusing, and even the emperor became vigilant.

At this time, the emperor certainly would not think that this was just a simple matter.He had already made a decision on this matter in his heart, and immediately told Zhang Dongyuan: "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and bring Ping An here. I have something to ask him!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Dongyuan said hesitantly, "I'm afraid Ping'an has been plotted against." Since Liu Cairen was going to have a tryst with Zhao Xuan, she probably saw Ping'an in a panic and thought he knew about it. My own secret, that's why I jumped into the lake.

Ping An just played a role of putting all doubts in front of the emperor.

Since someone wanted to bring the truth of this matter to the emperor, Ping An was just a pawn in the opponent's hand.The confession of the person who committed suicide before was innumerable.After all, there is a so-called "master" in Ping An, but it is just a one-sided statement.

The emperor's face was heavy, "I know. You go."

It's not just that peace is calculated by others?Even including himself, I'm afraid the entire palace has been tricked!

Knowing that there is such a person hiding behind him all of a sudden, the emperor who has always been in the city is a little restless.That being the case, this matter cannot be easily let go.It's just that this matter is no longer suitable to be investigated in the open, otherwise more and more people will intervene, and in the end it will be impossible to find the truth.

So you have to press it down first, and then trace it carefully.

The emperor wanted to see Ping An at this time, so he planned to entrust this matter to him for investigation.First of all, he is the center of this matter, if he can't get rid of the crime for himself, I'm afraid he will inevitably die in the end.Secondly, the emperor still had great trust in Ping'an's ability, and he didn't think that this matter really had anything to do with Ping'an.

"master"?If anyone in this world can be the master of peace, it is naturally him, the emperor.Ping An is so courageous, even he dares to plot, how could he think others are the masters?Among his several sons, who can suppress peace?

The only mistake of the people behind the scenes was probably that they misunderstood Ping An, thinking that he was just an ordinary person who got out of the prison of ceremonies, but they didn't know that there was a deeper relationship between the emperor and him.This involved almost costing Ping An's life, but now it also saved Ping An's life.

Compared with people who hide their heads and show their tails without knowing their purpose, the emperor is more willing to believe in peace.

Zhang Dongyuan went very timely and brought Ping An out of Zhu Cheng's hands.Otherwise, Ping An will either be tortured, or he will join forces with Zhu Cheng.

Not to mention, Ping An felt a little regretful because he couldn't hear their purpose from the main city.But thinking about it the other way around, if he heard it, then he might not be able to get away so easily.After all, the people behind the scenes wanted him to die, so how he died was not that important.

If he, the witness, also "suicides" in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, maybe he can make the muddy water even more muddy.

At present, the other party has not made a move, probably because the situation has not been clarified.But if Ping An touches the opponent's bottom line, then it is a matter of course to do it.So he had to be thankful that Zhang Dongyuan went there in time. A few seconds later, his little life might be explained.

Ping An followed Zhang Dongyuan to the Hall of Benchu, and came back here after a long time. At such a time, Ping An naturally sighed in his heart.

However, after Zhang Dongyuan said the matter again, he couldn't calm down anymore.

The second prince had an affair with the concubine, and the child in Liu Cairen's belly might be his?This is simply...beyond Ping An's imagination!Compared with this incident, giving Liu Cairen artificial respiration by himself is nothing at all!

Thinking of this, Ping An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The emperor told him this matter, obviously he would not pursue him, no matter how tricky it was.

From the perspective of people close to Xu Wenmei, Ping An felt that the emperor was a scum.But he couldn't deny that in terms of being an emperor, the other party was certainly not particularly outstanding, but he was not as good as the top, and more than the bottom, so he could barely be regarded as a good emperor.

After the founding of a country for a hundred years, there have been many licentious and innocent kings in the prosperous and peaceful times. After all, it is easy to start a business and difficult to maintain it.

"I want you to find out the truth of this matter." The emperor sat upright and said slowly, "You can mobilize everyone, just say hello to Zhang Dongyuan."

Ping An originally wanted to refuse, after all, the more he knew about this kind of thing, the sooner he would die.But now he has been involved, and he is also in the whirlpool. If he refuses, he may die now without waiting for the future.In the end, I could only say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

How could he be so unlucky?It's not easy for the brothers to show their loyalty, and they have encountered such a bad thing!

However, the emperor actually handed over this matter to himself, who was assigned to the general secretary, and Ping An couldn't say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.After all, if there were no accidents, he wanted to return to the center of power, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait—at least he had to let the emperor calm down.What now?Less than a year has passed!

After the secret conversation with the emperor, Ping An was not sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but was taken to a place by Zhang Dongyuan, which Ping An was also familiar with. It was the courtyard where the Imperial City Secretary was in the palace, and now Wang Congyi lives here.But starting today, Ping An will stay here until this matter is thoroughly investigated.

Externally, the emperor announced that all this matter would be handed over to the Supervisor of Rituals, and that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would no longer interfere.After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was too active in this matter, even Zhao Can could find out about them, let alone the emperor?Therefore, whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in contact with the Queen Mother, or getting involved with Zhao Xuan, the emperor will take notice of it.

——If the emperor is serious, there are few things in this palace that he can't hide from him.

It was precisely because of this that the matter of Liu Cairen made the emperor feel that it was really absurd.After all, he didn't even find any clues.But if it is false, how can there be such a coincidence?

The emperor was already suspicious, and the emperor could not trust others, so he had to hand over this matter to Ping An to investigate in private, to find out the cause and effect.

On the bright side, the Supervisor of Rituals will continue to pretend to be an investigation to cover him up.

When Zhang Dongyuan left, Wang Congyi immediately looked at Ping An with a mixed expression of surprise and joy, "I was still trying to pass the news to the lord, what's going on?"

"Don't ask." Pingan said, "You shouldn't know about this matter. Just call someone you trust, I have something to tell them to do."

Seeing his seriousness, Wang Congyi's heart trembled immediately.Since the Imperial City Division has become more and more important, it has mastered more secrets.Ping An is also very clear about this, but even so, he is not allowed to know about it, which shows that this matter is of great importance.There are always some secrets in the deep palace that must not be known by others. If you ask now, you might lose your life for it in the future.

So he immediately shut his mouth tightly, and according to Ping An's instructions, he called over someone he trusted.

Since it was related to Liu Cairen, of course Ping An started to investigate from her.But apart from the maid who presented the love letter and is still being imprisoned by the inspector of ceremonies, no clues could be found.On the contrary, many things about Liu Cairen being domineering and oppressing other concubines were found, which made Ping An dumbfounded.

Ping An had no choice but to turn around and check Zhao Xuan's side.

But since getting married, Zhao Xuan has moved out of the palace.Because the empress had died of illness, he seldom even went to the palace to pay his respects, and only occasionally went to the empress dowager's place.It is really inconvenient to contact the concubine.

But the problem is, it's not completely without doubt.For example, Yuhu is indeed close to the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace, but it is extremely far away from Liu Cairen's palace, basically in two directions. It is indeed suspicious that Liu Cairen went there for no reason.In addition, although Zhao Xuan rarely had the chance to enter the palace, on the day Liu Cairen's accident happened, he did go to Shou'an Palace to pay his respects.

What a coincidence.

The doubts on Zhao Xuan's body can't be washed away at all, but there is no evidence that the two met, so it's just suspicious.

……

Ping An was suddenly taken away by the Supervisor of Rituals, and Zhao Can knew that his scheme had worked.

It's just that he didn't know that Liu Cairen was pregnant, so he naturally didn't know that this matter had been classified as a first-class secret.So it was soon discovered that after Ping An was taken away by the Rites Supervisor, he couldn't find any news from here.

Originally, Zhao Can had planned to find an opportunity to contact Ping An, and to forge a piece of evidence for him here, proving that the so-called "master" was Zhao Xuan, but before he could do anything, he couldn't find anyone.Zhao Can couldn't help feeling worried.

Although he felt that Ping An should not encounter any danger in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Zhao Can couldn't help but think about the sudden loss of news.What if the emperor suddenly lost his mind and wanted to attack Ping An?

Fortunately, he also has people in the Imperial City Department. Although they are not among Wang Congyi's most trusted people, they must be mobilized when he has to do things.The news that Ping'an is here in the Imperial City Division, naturally cannot be concealed.

After Zhao Can heard the news, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.Unexpectedly, it gave Ping An a chance to regain power.Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

It's just that he never figured it out anyway, he was just planning to exonerate Ping An and let him jump out of this matter.Why is it that not only is Ping An himself fine, but it looks like he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the emperor?

I can't figure it out, don't you know if you go to see me?

Wang Congyi was working in the Imperial City Department, and he built a house outside the palace.Anyway, with his accumulation in the palace for many years, it is not difficult to buy a house.Although he couldn't marry a wife, he took over his family and bought slaves, and his life was quite good.

Such a person would naturally not live in the courtyard of the Imperial City Division like Ping An, and would go home to live at night.

Therefore, only Ping An lives in this courtyard.And until this place was the territory of the Imperial City Division, no one would come to find him uncomfortable.

So Zhao Can wanted to come to see Ping An, but he didn't have to worry about alarming anyone.

It was still in the rainy season, and it rained heavily that night.Almost no one would go out in this weather, so Zhao Can changed into an eunuch's attire, and sneaked into the courtyard of the Imperial City Secretary without any notice.

Ping An is still sitting under the lamp and worrying.Today's latest development confirms that after Zhao Xuan went to Shou'an Palace that day, he left the palace directly.Judging from the whereabouts given everywhere, it took a total of two quarters of an hour to leave Shou'an Palace and exit the inner palace gate.

As for the time required for normal walking during this distance, the little eunuch Ping An tested it at two speeds: slow walking and fast running. It only takes a quarter of an hour to run fast, and two quarters of an hour to walk slowly.That is to say, if Zhao Xuan turned around on the road and went to Yuhu to talk to Liu Cairen before leaving the palace, it would be feasible.

The key is that Ping An can't find evidence!If Zhao Xuan said that he just walked slowly and saw the scenery on the way, what else could Ping An say?

The emperor gave him the matter to investigate, but nothing was found.How does this work?

Ping An was still in a daze when he heard the knock on the door, and he didn't hear the first few sounds mixed with the noisy rain. He didn't recover until the knock on the door became louder and louder, and got up to open the door.

When he saw a man in a coir raincoat standing outside the door, Ping An couldn't help being stunned, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see you." Zhao Can sized up Ping An, "It seems that he was not punished."

Ping An: "...how do you know I'm here?"

"There is no strong force in this world that is not leaky." Zhao Can said, "Since you are here, there will always be some traces. As long as you have the heart, it is not difficult to find out."

"So, it's possible for others to know that I'm here?" Ping An frowned. If that's the case, then the cover-ups made by the chief of ceremonies before are useless.

Zhao Can was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm the only one who has discovered it for the time being." If I didn't pay so much attention to Ping An, I wouldn't have known about it.And can others care about peace like him?After all, the matter of Xu Wenmei is still a secret.

Besides, this matter was promoted by Zhao Can himself, so he knew in his heart that it would be fine for the Priest to take Ping An away.But others may not think so.

As soon as Ping An thought about it, he also thought of this, and couldn't help frowning, "You also intervened in this matter?"

"It's not just me?" Zhao Can said, "The reason why this matter has become so difficult is that it's hard to figure it out. I suspect that several parties have intervened. So Ping An, your situation is not safe."

Pingan smiled wryly, "I know, after all, I became a pawn in the game of the masters again, right?"

"This time it's none of my business!" Zhao Can immediately explained, "I didn't intervene in this matter at all. I just heard the news and planned to rescue you. Who knows that things are getting more and more complicated. Later, I found out that you have become the target of public criticism. Only then did I find a way to forge a love letter, thinking of ending the matter. It's just that I can't understand the later development."

Safety:"……"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Can couldn't help asking when he saw the indescribable expression on his face.

Pingan asked, "The forged love letter you are talking about, could it be that the second prince gave it to Liu Cairen?"

"Yes."

"!!" Ping An was stunned by the truth for a moment, and didn't know what to say, but looked at Zhao Can with a surprised face, unable to recover for a while.

"Why do you have this expression? By the way, you also know about the love letter?" Zhao Can asked.

Only then did Ping An come to his senses, "You are too courageous! You must have forged the love letter after knowing about it, right?"

"what's up?"

Pingan hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Liu Cairen is pregnant."

Now Zhao Can also understood.The love letter I forged came at such a timely time that the emperor couldn't doubt it!

"I really don't know..." It was very difficult for Zhao Can to explain this sentence.After all, no matter who came to see this incident, it is impossible to believe that this is just a coincidence, right?Who would believe that he just wanted to forge a love letter to frame Liu Cairen, mess things up and make the water even more muddy?

Ping An didn't quite believe it either.And thinking about it, Zhao Can knew that Liu Cairen was pregnant, no matter whether he found out the news or he had something to do with Liu Cairen himself, it would be even more difficult to use this matter to achieve his own goals. It's like Zhao Can's way of doing things.

Just like Ping An once realized, for Zhao Can, there is nothing that cannot be used.Even himself can do it, let alone others?

Seeing Ping An's silence, Zhao Can couldn't help feeling a little bored.His voice sank, and he emphasized again, "I don't know about this, it's just a coincidence."

Only then did Ping An notice that the expression on Zhao Can's face was very ugly.He thought about it again, Zhao Can didn't need to lie to himself, he had admitted last time that he was that kind of person, even if he continued to use Ping An, Ping An would not be able to say anything.So why should he lie?

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "I see. But even if you did it on purpose, it's okay, right?"

"I won't do this again." Zhao Can suddenly reached out and grabbed Ping An, pushed him back, squeezed through the door, took off the coir raincoat and put it on the door, then turned around and closed the door.This series of actions seemed to have calmed him down a little. He turned his head, looked at Ping An, and said again, "Believe it or not, I won't use you now, and I won't use you in the future, Ping An."

He said this sentence very seriously, and Ping An couldn't be moved.No matter how bastard Zhao Can is, what he said never counts. In the past, he just refused to promise and then took advantage of loopholes.Ping An did not expect to hear such solemn words from him at this moment.

But... so what?

He took a deep breath and freed his hand from Zhao Can's, "Why are you doing this? You said before that you are always like that. It's my fault that you can't accept it, not yours." Wrong. So there is no need to change it, especially not for me."

I would feel unbearable because we couldn't have made it to the end.

It's just that Ping An didn't say the last sentence, and couldn't say it.

He believed that Zhao Can was as clear as a mirror in his heart, and since that was the case, there was no need for him to remind him again.

"You're determined to push me away, aren't you?" Zhao Can asked.

Ping An didn't answer the question, but called him, "Your Highness."

This appellation speaks volumes more than anything else.Zhao Can couldn't help being dazed for a moment, the appearance of Ping An leaning softly in his arms seemed to be yesterday, but the beauty like a dream was too short and fleeting after all.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch it.

Zhao Can's heart was suddenly filled with fear, and he subconsciously grasped Ping An again, as if this way he would not disappear from his sight.But this action did not reassure Zhao Can, he could only stare at Ping An, using anger to cover up his panic, "Do you think you can get rid of me by doing this?"

"What?" Ping An asked subconsciously.

Zhao Can leaned forward, imprisoning Ping An between the wall and himself.It was only then that Ping An realized that in the past few months, Zhao Can had grown taller, and now his eyes could only look at his chin, and he had to look up to meet his gaze.

This was an angle to show weakness, so Ping An would rather stare at his plump, rosy lips and graceful chin than look up at Zhao Can.

However, Zhao Can didn't allow him to dodge, and in an instant, he pinched Ping An's chin, forcing him to raise his head, and then his kiss fell.

Ping An was stunned at first, and then began to struggle after realizing what had happened.He really intends to end the absurd past like that dream with Zhao Can, and it's best to break it cleanly and not to have any more entanglements.His attitude towards Zhao Can was not so cold, but he was very firm from the beginning to the end.

Zhao Can also understands that Ping An thinks that the two will drift apart, but what is Zhao Can doing now?

Ping An can boldly give everything to his lover when he opens his heart, but he can never accept this kind of unreasonable and ambiguous intimacy.

So he bit Zhao Can hard on the lips, took advantage of Zhao Can's pain, pushed him away, then stood far away, wiped his mouth hard, "What are you doing? Zhao Can, don't Make me look down on you!"

From Ping An's point of view, there is no refusal to welcome, no "I was forced by him" as a last resort, yes or no, no, no, a big man really wants to resist another person, it is impossible not to be able to do it, but it is Not cruel enough.Otherwise, even if the fish dies and the net breaks, and both sides suffer, they will not hesitate.

So even though he did not have no nostalgia for Zhao Can in his heart, he absolutely could not tolerate this kind of unclear involvement.

Zhao Can stared at him with heavy eyes, and didn't speak for a while.It's just that the fire in those eyes was too clear, which made Ping'an's heart jump.That's what he said, but he really didn't want to tear himself apart with Zhao Can.

Fortunately, Zhao Can's eyes gradually cleared up. He wiped his lips with his hand, smiled coldly at the dazzling red in his palm, and looked up at Ping An.

"What am I doing, don't you know?"

"You met another woman before, I want to erase her traces!" Zhao Can said viciously.
