Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Outside the window is the sound of gurgling rain.It seems that there is rain dripping down the eaves, and the sound of "cracking" is very clear.

After Zhao Can said those words, he and Ping An were a little stunned.

"You madman!" After a while, Ping An said angrily.He didn't expect Zhao Can to say such... absurd reason.

But when you think about it seriously, this reason is actually irrefutable.Just imagine, if one day I see Zhao Can kissing another woman, no matter what the reason is, I'm afraid I won't accept it easily.

It's just that he is not as domineering as Zhao Can, and he will come to the door to "disinfect".Probably they would just come to the door and fight with Zhao Can.

From the perspective of emotional purity, Ping An felt that... after all, he had not misjudged the person.

"Yes, I'm a lunatic." Zhao Can stretched out his hand to grab Ping'an, but Ping'an took a step back to avoid him, and instead of getting angry, he laughed, "Ping'an, you can push me away, but... it's best not to go Provoke others!"

When he said this, his tone was serious and calm, but Ping An faintly felt some uneasiness.It seemed that Zhao Can was suppressing something, which could erupt anytime and anywhere.

Pingan frowned, trying to ignore Zhao Can's influence on him, and said calmly, "Is that why you came to me at night to talk about this?"

Zhao Can's eyes darkened, "Of course not."

After a pause, he restrained the slightly crazy expression on his face, and then asked, "Ping An, you said before that you would help me, does that still count?"

"What I said counts." Ping An said immediately.

Zhao Can has returned to his usual lazy and smiling appearance, "Since this is the case, there is a very good opportunity right now. The Emperor trusts you and has entrusted you to investigate the matter, right? Let's find out who is behind the scenes together, shall we? "

The corner of Ping An's mouth twitched, "Aren't you the one behind the scenes?" Thankfully he figured out forging a love letter!And it actually succeeded, and it happened to coincide with the fact that Liu Cairen was pregnant.This is really... God is on his side.

"You won't hand me over to him, will you?" Zhao Can smiled nonchalantly, "Besides, I already said that I did that just to save you. What happened before has nothing to do with me."

When he said this, Ping An felt that it was quite credible.After thinking about it, he asked, "Then what did you find?"

Zhao Can is not like himself who has always been a fan of the authorities. He has known the news for a long time, and he must have investigated it. He must be able to know more.That being the case, Ping An doesn't have to spend time investigating by himself, and it can save a lot of time.

"There are a lot of news." Zhao Can said, "It's just confusing and confusing, which really makes people uncertain."

"Oh? Then start from the beginning." Ping An said, "No matter how powerful the mastermind behind the scenes is, as long as he moves, there will be no traces."

Zhao Can said, "Let's start with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At first I thought the person behind them was the Queen Mother. After I moved you, I put this matter on Zhao Xuan's head. The Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to attack the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the Queen Mother can do it." More control over the people around the emperor can also clear the way for Zhao Rong."

"What happened later?" Since I thought so at first, of course things changed later.

Zhao Can looked at Ping An and said with a smile, "Later, other people probably found out about this matter, and they saw it as an opportunity, so they intervened one after another, adding fuel to the fire. At least, whether it is the Queen Mother or Zhao Xuan, it should have nothing to do with Liu Cairen of."

"Huh?" Ping An was surprised, "I thought she belonged to the Queen Mother."

"If that's the case, our emperor probably won't love her so much." Zhao Can said with a deep smile, "Although they are biological mother and child, how can there be family affection before power?"

The empress dowager put people by the emperor's side, so naturally she meant to control the emperor to some extent.The emperor is not stupid, he will give some dignity to the people that the empress dowager values, but he will not pamper them.Just like Concubine Song, the biological mother of the tenth prince, although her status is not low, she is hardly favored.If it wasn't for his strong stomach, he would have given birth to a son with only a few favors, and now he might still be accompanying the queen mother to chant Buddha in Shou'an Palace!

Pingan blinked, well, the family relationship in the palace cannot be viewed with normal eyes.Otherwise, how should Zhao Can evaluate the situation where Zhao Can was sneering when he mentioned his father and was still plotting to take that position?

"Then who does Liu Cairen belong to?" He thought for a while and asked.

It wasn't the queen mother, nor was it Zhao Xuan. So, the other party didn't intend to use this method to frame him, but someone else intervened?

"You can control everything inside and outside the palace, and you can also make Liu Cairen, a favored concubine, obedient, what do you think?" Zhao Can's eyes flashed a hint of sarcasm.

Ping An was a little uncertain, "Madam Zheng Guifei?"

To say that the most capable person in this palace is naturally her.Besides, she also has a son who cooperates with the inside and the outside, so it is really not difficult to control the situation outside the palace.

And this opportunity to intervene is really wonderful. Who would think that the things that Ping An encountered twice in a row were not done by the same group of people?I'm afraid that even the Queen Mother and Zhao Xuan will be unable to argue with each other, right?

"No wonder Concubine Zheng has been favored for many years, she has been firmly seated as a noble concubine and in charge of the Six Palaces." Ping An couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Can sneered, "It's still just a noble concubine."

Ping An couldn't help laughing, Zhao Can really didn't give him any face.Indeed, for Concubine Zheng, everything went well in this life, but what worried her most was the empress position in the middle palace.

The queen has been dead for so many years, she obviously gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and has monopolized the holy favor for many years, and she is still in charge of the harem, trusted by the emperor.But regardless of the explicit hints, the emperor just refused to make her a queen!

Speaking of this, Ping An was also very curious, "Tell me, why is Your Majesty unwilling to make another queen?"

A haze flashed in Zhao Can's eyes, "I used to think that it was because he had something special in his heart..."

At least that's what he thought in his previous life, but in this life, Zhao Can saw something that he didn't know before.For example, in his previous life, he never knew the existence of Xu Wenmei.

And if it is said that the emperor's beloved is Zhang Concubine, why did he have three sons, but he is still only a concubine?In the past, Zhao Can felt that the emperor might be afraid that others would hurt Concubine Zhang, so he hid people so densely.

But that's because he didn't understand love at the time, and now that his heart belongs to him, the idea seems so ridiculous.

If it was him, with someone he loved, he would wish to give that person all the best things in the world, how could he be so negligent?

When Zhang Concubine was favored, the emperor had been on the throne for several years, and his post was vacant.If he insisted on making Concubine Zhang the empress, even if there were people in the court who objected, they would probably be able to suppress it.And with the latter as a guarantor, it is possible for Concubine Zhang to be invincible in the palace.It's not what it is like now. She is obviously the concubine who gave birth to the most children in the harem, but she rarely even attends the celebrations in the palace.

But if not, why?Zhao Can still couldn't figure it out.

The two were silent for a while, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Ping An realized that they had strayed from the topic, and coughed lightly, "Cough... let's talk about this matter again. Liu Cairen belongs to Concubine Zheng Gui, and the eldest prince will come if he wants to." Intervened. In this way, there are three parties behind the scenes?"

Zhao Can shook her head, "I thought the same way before today. But now, Liu Cairen is pregnant."

"What do you mean?"

The expression on Zhao Can's face was very strange, "Ping An, do you know that since the death of the sixteenth brother, in the past five or six years, there has not been a single pregnant concubine in the palace."

"Not a single one?!" No wonder Ping An was surprised, it is really easy to think of something wrong with the emperor's health, or there is some kind of conspiracy involved.

But in any case, the emperor's woman will not be pregnant, so whose child is in Liu Cairen's belly?

Although Ping An didn't want to be so suspicious, Zhao Can clearly meant that.He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you... sure?"

"Even if you ask the imperial doctor at the imperial hospital, they won't be sure." Zhao Can looked at Pingan helplessly, "It's difficult to say a sentence at most." It's like this in the palace, things can't be done, words can't be said Well, imperial physicians will talk conservatively, especially for such unspeakable secrets.

The news has been kept well under wraps, and usually goes unnoticed.After all, the emperor has enough sons.Big and small together, there are fifteen of them.

If Zhao Can hadn't been reborn, she wouldn't have known such details.

This is also the reason why the emperor and Zhang Dongyuan were very hesitant after knowing that Liu Cairen was pregnant.Because others don't know, but they know best.Coupled with Zhao Xuan's love letter, the emperor naturally believed it immediately.

Pingan connected the cause and effect together, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that Zhao Xuan was unlucky.It happened to be on the top of this, even if there is no problem in the end, I am afraid that the emperor's grudge against him will not be eliminated.

Then, there seemed to be one more task for me, to find out who the child in Liu Cairen's belly belonged to.

Otherwise, you still can't deal with the emperor.

"The only one who can enter and leave the court is the prince..." Ping An took a deep breath. In the final analysis, the child in Liu Cairen's belly was not Zhao Xuan's, but it must belong to a certain prince.This is probably the reason why the emperor was angry, right?

In the future, the emperor would think that any prince would think he would wear a cuckold.But, Ping An gloated and thought, a lot of young concubines should be lucky with their age, it should be!This kind of stallion man should be taught such a lesson, let him know that even if he is the emperor, the whole world revolves around him!

Thinking about it this way, Ping'an felt a little admiration for that Liu Cairen and the unknown prince.

He thought for a while and said, "Liu Cairen belongs to Concubine Zheng, do you think Concubine Zheng will know about this?"

"If you were you, would you let people know about this kind of thing?" Zhao Can asked him back, "Besides, who is who, it's just a subtle alliance and cooperation, but Concubine Zheng is in the dominant position. Even Bosses and subordinates also have their own obedience, let alone such a fragile alliance?"

Right.Liu Cairen is a member of Concubine Zheng, so he may not necessarily have the same heart with her.Besides, this kind of personal affair is a big deal, how could Liu Cairen let Concubine Zheng know about it?

"So, there is another person behind." Ping An took a deep breath, "It's really messy."

"It's also just that the matter of the Wenhui has just passed. The emperor's thunderous means have weakened the power in the hands of several princes. Just when this happened, everyone stretched out their hands and pushed each other. It's a test of each other. It's just that I didn't expect everyone to be so united. On the contrary, it made things so complicated." Zhao Can shook his head and laughed, "Ping An, who do you think is behind the scenes?"

"The first three parties are impossible, and the rest are only three, four, five, and six princes. Four, five, and six are a family..."

Ping An was analyzing, but was interrupted by Zhao Can, "That's not necessarily the case."

He froze for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Though my three elder brothers were born to the same mother, they are still the same child, but even so, they may not have the same heart..." Zhao Can sighed in a low voice.

"Do you know something?" Ping An looked up at him.Zhao Can was sitting opposite him. He was already well-born, but under the dim light, he was even more amazed. The way he smiled with his lips curled up so slightly was especially deceptive.However, Ping An was familiar with him, and with such a cool tone, he would not be bewitched.

Zhao Can said, "I don't know anything, it's just that people's hearts are like this. The ten fingers are still long or short. They are three living people, so they naturally have their own thoughts and plans. It doesn't matter whether they are siblings or not."

Ping An didn't believe that Zhao Can didn't know anything.But what he said is not bad, can the same mother and brother work together?It's a joke.Maybe it will be even more inconsistent.

Half-brothers, after all, can compare with their respective mothers.For example, Zhao Xuan and Zhao Rong, one is a descendant of the middle palace, and the other is a concubine whose mother has been in the palace for many years, each has its own success.But since it was born by the same mother, especially the same child, then everyone is the same.These three princes used to be headed by the fourth prince, and the other two have no idea at all?

Of course, Zhao Can couldn't mention this for no reason. Pingan thought about it and said, "Do you think it's one of these three princes?"

The three princes wanted to compete, and Ping An was not surprised at all.It is normal for them to have internal conflicts.But Ping An was really surprised that he was able to do this.

He was more inclined to the third prince before.After all, the former concubine Shu was demoted, so he had no help in the palace, and it was normal to win over the concubine.Besides, Zhao Kun's temperament is indeed relatively easy to do such a thing.

Zhao Can smiled slightly, "Zhao Kun is an idiot, it is impossible to seize this opportunity."

What he said was very reasonable, and Ping An was speechless.According to him, the triplets are also much smarter.However, his understanding of the three princes was really limited, so he couldn't tell why.In the end, I could only say, "Since the scope has been delineated, let me ask someone to check it."

But was stopped by Zhao Can, "Ping An, are you really planning to have someone investigate this matter?"

Ping An looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to find out who was behind the scenes with me?"

"But you forgot, Yuehua Palace is probably in a very different position in the emperor's heart. Even if you find out the result, so what?" Just report it to the emperor and let him know that it was his favorite son who cuckolded him?

Ping An hesitated.This is just like Kangxi and Yinfeng in history, does Kangxi really not know that his son is absurd?It's just that when you don't violate the bottom line, you are willing to tolerate it.If the emperor didn't intend to have this incident, then knowing or even finding out the safety of these incidents with one hand, I am afraid that his life will be lost.Because he couldn't let such an absurd truth be known.

Ping An didn't want to sacrifice himself for nothing, so he clearly guessed what Zhao Can was going to say, but he still asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Do you know where Liu Cairen lives?" Zhao Can suddenly asked.

Of course Ping An knew about it, after all, they have been investigating this person recently.He thought about that place in his mind, and suddenly realized that it was very close to Yuehua Palace!In addition, it is not far from the Fangcao Palace where Concubine Shu used to live.

It seems that Zhao Can is determined to step on Zhao Kun completely.

Ping An felt a little uncomfortable.It is one thing to find out the truth and take revenge on those who did it, but it is another thing to frame it.In this matter, the only person who did not do anything was Zhao Kun, but Ping An was not willing to put this matter on his head.

"I don't agree with this matter," he said, "The third prince's grievances with you are the same thing, you can use other methods, but..."

"What are you thinking?" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Can couldn't help laughing, "Who said I'm going to touch Zhao Kun? He's so stupid, even if it's a block in the way, it's the smallest kind , and passed by with one step. Ping An, do you think it is necessary for me to design such a person?"

"Then what do you mean?" Pingan guessed wrongly, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Zhao Can pretended to be mysterious and said, "There is a person who can get in touch with Liu Cairen without attracting anyone's attention. Didn't you notice Ping An?"

"...Zhao Rong?" There were not many adult princes in total, and four of them were removed. Zhao Can was removing them by himself, and the younger brothers under him were still young, so he might be powerless.The rest are Zhao Xuan and Zhao Rong.Zhao Xuan didn't find any suspicious points after checking and checking before, and Zhao Can couldn't be him, so there was only one left.

And...the concubines in the harem were going to pay their respects to Concubine Zheng's Changle Palace, and Liu Cairen was no exception, and even because she was on Concubine Zheng's side, she would deliberately stay for a while.It was normal to meet Zhao Rong who also came to pay his respects.

"But didn't you form an alliance with them?" Ping An asked, blinking.

Zhao Can rested one hand on the table, supported his chin with his hand, and said with a smile, "Did they attack you while you were sleeping? I always want to vent my anger on you."

Ping An embarrassed a bit.Aren't you talking about business, why did you suddenly switch to this channel?

He tried his best to look as if nothing had happened, and turned the topic back, "But will His Majesty believe it?"

"Zheng Guifei has been favored for too long." Zhao Can smiled, "Even Zhao Xuan, the son of the middle palace, can't compete with Zhao Rong at all, especially after Zhao Rong married the Zhang family."

Ping An suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Can asked unhurriedly.

Ping An slowly relaxed again, "Did you see that too?" He asked, "Your Majesty's intention to use troops to the west..."

Zhao Can's eyes flashed, and he looked at Ping An with a look of surprise.He didn't see it. Once he was reborn, he naturally knew what would happen, but Ping An was the one who saw it by himself. This is what really surprised Zhao Can.

I am afraid that most of the ministers in the court have not found any clues, right?

Ping An is so sensitive...to his surprise.

"Ping An..." He took a light breath and called Ping An's name. He felt that there seemed to be a lot of emotions surging in his chest, but he didn't know how to express it. He could only wait for them to gradually calm down and return to the In place, and then slowly let out the breath.

A bright smile appeared on Zhao Can's face, "So, it's the right time."

Ping An was convinced by him.Indeed, if the emperor wanted to fight, he had to use those ministers in the west.The Zhang family already had a deep foundation there, and after this battle, the power in the court might become stronger again.

Zhao Rong had already faintly overwhelmed the other brothers. If the Zhang family went further, wouldn't there be no one who could compete with him?

Although Ping An didn't know what the emperor was trying so hard to keep his sons in balance, at least for a short period of time, the emperor had no plans to establish a reserve, and he was focused on maintaining this balance.So, it's time to crush Zhao Rong.

The matter that has troubled Ping An for a while, all the clues and context were sorted out in a conversation like this.And even a solution was found.Looking at Zhao Can in Pingan, he couldn't help but feel a little sigh in his heart.

Every time he told Zhao Can about these things, Ping An felt that he was born to live in the palace.For him, all methods are at his fingertips.This kind of person is sometimes scary, but sometimes, it can bring confidence and security to others.

What a paradoxical quality.

The sound of rain outside the window gradually subsided, and Pingan opened the window, and the night wind came in through the window, making him feel chilly all over.But the fresh air after the rain also cleared Ping'an's drowsy mind due to too much thinking.

He stood by the window and turned to look at Zhao Can, "The rain has stopped, when will His Highness Seventh leave?"

Zhao Can's hands on the table froze slightly, and he raised his head to look at Ping An, "Ping An, are you planning to throw it away when you're done using it? I'll be sad with this attitude." Then he also made an aggrieved expression Come.

The veins on Ping'an's forehead twitched, and he couldn't help but give Zhao Can a sideways look, "You better go, don't you want to wait for Tianming to be discovered?"

"It turns out that Ping An was worried that I would be discovered." Zhao Can immediately turned from anger to joy, and stood up with a smile.

Ping An didn't know when he learned to be so shameless, but facing Zhao Can like this, he felt somewhat helpless.
