"I am content and dare not imagine!"

Ping An spoke with a sincere look on his face, "Everything I have given me is given by you and the emperor. I just want to serve the two emperors well..."

"You, you have been a loyal person since you were a child!" The old man nodded in approval, with a little smile on his face, "This is exactly what we like!"

Then, the old man changed his position and continued to fall, "Before we die, we will lick the old face and beg the emperor to give you a grace!"

"Old man!" Ping An was anxious and kowtowed his head repeatedly, his head broke, with a crying voice, "You must live a hundred years..."

"Hold it back, don't howl!" The old man shouted coldly.

There was a sudden silence inside the house.

"Give you a duke's position, but this duke does not have a pill book iron voucher!"

The duke without the iron certificate of the alchemy book was not hereditary, but a favor. But at this time, the Ming Dynasty had been founded for more than 30 years, and titles had long become rare goods. Unless it was made great contributions, it would be impossible to give them.

Even if you give it, you can't give it to the Duke directly.

Ping An was already stunned.

He is honest, but he is not stupid. The old man would never give him such a heavy reward for no reason. Even if he is not hereditary, he is the general of the 180,000 soldiers in the Jingzhang of the Ming Dynasty. He is young and strong, and he is the adopted son of the old man...

"Some official positions cannot be suppressed without titles!" The old man continued, "Some things are even more inconvenient without titles! Some people you can't control without titles!" As he said, the old man smiled, "It's like Lan Yu back then. If he hadn't been the Duke, how could he have great power?"

"I dare not learn from Lan Yu!" Ping'an kowtowed nervously, "I am a royal hawk..."

"We know you don't dare to learn, and you can't learn it either!" The old man interrupted him with a smile, "But what we want to give you is Lan Yu's power and power. In other words, before we die, let the emperor lift you to his original position!"

"What kind of virtue is me? Where is my prestige and military achievements..."

"It's just timid to be too honest!" The old man scolded with a stern face.

"I'm afraid of being timid before I even started. How can I become a great man? What are you worried about? The emperor is behind you, who do you need to care about?" The old man continued.

"I am afraid..." Ping'an burst into tears, "I'm raising my tail!"

"Ha! Can you still be so good at being upset?" The old man cursed again, "Besides, your temperament is here, where can you go?" As he said, he leaned his head slightly, "You are a smart child, let me give you a word. When you want to raise your tail in the future, think about the outcome of those who raise your tail."

As he said that, he said, "Besides, since you can think of this, it proves that you will not cross the line!"

"Do you know what to do if you put it on Lan Yu's seat?" the old man asked again.

Ping An pondered for a moment, looked up and said seriously, "Like Lan Yu, I will protect the emperor!"

"What should someone do if he violates him?" the old man asked loudly.

"I lead the troops to attack!"

"Who will you kill?"

"That minister is killing whom!"

"Okay!" the old man smiled, "I won't say much about the extra ones, you can experience it yourself."

Then, the old man looked at Mei Yin.

“All the family is good?”

Mei Yin also hurriedly stepped forward, "Go back to the Supreme Emperor, everything is fine!" and continued, "The princess said a few days ago that she wanted to see you!"

"Well, you can come and bring our two grandchildren, let's take a look at it in the end!" the old man smiled.

"Old man, you..." Mei Yin's shoulders shook and choked, "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

"Everyone is going to die!" The old man sighed, "I know my own body. I feel that I can't get through this year, so I have to explain some words in advance to save time and get blind!"

"Your Majesty, you will live forever..."

"It's nonsense!" The old man waved his hand and continued to look at the other party, "Among so many son-in-laws, we have always valued you the most and used you. You are a filial child. Now we have some things left to you!"

"I, I will die!" Mei Yin kowtowed.

"We will tell the emperor that you will be transferred to the Ministry of War to serve as the Right Minister!"

Mei Yin was shocked. Although the Right Minister of War was only a second-rank, he was the most important department in the Ming army.

The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army restrict each other, and the Right Minister of the Ministry of War is in charge of the promotion and assessment of military generals. More importantly, this position is in charge of military supplies for the border formations of vassal kings every year.

In other words, the position of this second-rank minister is stuck with the necks of the vassal kings.

"Also, you are our son-in-law and the leader of the prince-consorts." The old man continued, "You Zongzheng of the clan mansion is the one who belongs to you. Leave the royal affairs to you!"

The Zongren Mansion was originally named Dazongyuanzheng. It was renamed the Zongren Mansion in the 22nd year of Hongwu, and it specifically manages the royal family's words and deeds and punishes them.

This yamen was first managed by the King of Qin. After the King of Qin passed away, it was King of Jin. Now the clan members are vacant. And this Right Zongzheng is the highest official.

"We don't hide it with you!" The old man continued, "The emperor is still young, and it's hard to say when we are here, and no one dares to say it. If we are away, maybe someone will do something confused!"

"You are our own family, and the princess of Ningguo Princess, you can speak. So to prevent these family scandals, you have to stand up!"

"If you can persuade me, please don't let outsiders laugh at me. But if you can't persuade me, you should punish me. You must have this responsibility!"

Speaking of this, Ping'an and Mei Yin both understood.

As the iron-core emperor confidant, the former firmly grasps the opportunity that the Beijing camp does not give outsiders a chance to take advantage of. If you strike, you will wield it and leave it, it is the knife in the emperor's hand.

As the royal son-in-law, the latter is the first to stand up when someone is provoking the emperor's power.

Both of them will become the vanguard of the emperor's removal of all opposition forces.

As Xu Huizu thought in his heart, the old man asked the emperor to marry the fourth daughter of the Xu family as his concubines in order to make arrangements for them, such as foreign ministers.

Then, now we will promote an adopted son and a son-in-law and entrust an important task to prevent future civil servants.

"Actually, we are not worried at all by the emperor!" The old man sighed, "We are like this when we are old, and we always think that we will be foolproof! We are not afraid of you two know about some things. Hi, our sons... Alas, it's a waste of our efforts!"

"Hey, the root of it is also in ours!"

"We thought at the beginning that the emperor was the emperor and the prince. We thought about the farming and studying in the world, and everyone should live a good life in their own affairs."

"But I didn't expect that the world could not be unchanging. People say that Hongwu Dazhi is the main thing. Damn, in fact, we left a mess for Dasun that was full of hidden dangers!"

As he said that, the old man hooked his fingers and asked Mei Yin and Ping'an to approach him, whispering, "Pu Bucheng, then we have our will..."

~~

Outside the house, the oil in the iron pot sizzled.

Pu Bucheng used a colander to remove the golden oil residue inside and put it in a white porcelain bowl.

He picked up another spoon and carefully put the brightly colored lard into the jar.

Next to him, the old Taoist with a stingy look on his face secretly reached out, without even feeling hot, and grabbed the oil residue and threw it into his mouth.

Park Bucheng's eyebrows moved, but he didn't say much.

"Old Pu!" Unexpectedly, Xi Ying was so arrogant. "Leave a plate for Master Dao, dip some salt and drink!"

Before he finished speaking, a eunuch trotted over.

"Old ancestor, Long live the Lord! There are also King Jin and King An..."

Park Bucheng put down the spoon and entered the room. The next second Mei Yin and Ping'an disappeared from the back door.

Immediately afterwards, the child's screams came from outside the yard.

"Father, my sons are here to see you!"

Zhu Nan and a few little princes ran into the yard.
