Hu Hai nodded and agreed: "Lin Ze, who do you think is more suitable to set up this intelligence system?"
Lin Ze replied without hesitation: "At present, Chen Ping is the only one among the young master's disciples who is most suitable to do this. Let's leave this matter to him."
A trace of hesitation appeared on Hu Hai's face: "Lin Ze, is this Chen Ping really reliable? As far as I know, his master Lu Jia is Fusu's teacher. There cannot be any negligence in the matter of intelligence."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, Chen Ping's loyalty is unquestionable, and there is indeed no more suitable candidate than him."
Hu Hai did not respond directly, but asked: "What do you think of Huang Banban doing it?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "Eunuch Huang is commendable for his loyalty, but he lacks the ability to be responsible for intelligence. I'm afraid he is not suitable. The master also said that intelligence is of great importance, and no one who is not reliable and capable can live here."
Hu Hai was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "What about you, Lin Ze? Wouldn't it be better for you to do it?"
Lin Ze smiled brightly and said seriously: "As a military advisor, I should plan the overall situation for you instead of focusing on one area. You can rest assured and leave it to Chen Ping. I will keep an eye on him."
But he cursed in his heart: Hey, you're kidding, I have to do everything personally, I'm afraid I will die from exhaustion like Zhuge Kongming. Besides, there is nothing more important now than improving my martial arts cultivation, so I won't take it.
Hu Hai reluctantly nodded after hearing this.
Lin Ze couldn't help but ask: "Chen Ping used to do his best for the young master, but for some reason the young master became suspicious of him?"
Hu Hai sighed: "I have received a tip-off that Chen Ping has been exchanging letters with that Lu Jia. I feel a little uncomfortable."
Lin Ze asked in a deep voice: "Where did the young master learn about this?"
Hu Hai immediately became vigilant: "Lin Ze, are you saying that there is a estrangement? But this matter may not be groundless, right?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "The most difficult lie to tell is whether it is true or not. Chen Ping may have really exchanged letters with Lu Jia, but he definitely did not cheat on them."
"Chen Ping is a human being. I can guarantee that as long as the young master has not treated him badly, he will not betray the young master. Please feel free to rest assured. As for what the young master is worried about, I will find him personally later to resolve the matter."
Hu Hai nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you. I have to have some fun before I take office. Once I enter that yamen, it won't be so easy."
Lin Ze...
…
In the Zhongxinhou Mansion, Meng Tian and Meng Ao's father and son sat opposite each other in the pavilion in the garden. In front of them was a chessboard, each holding a black and white pair, fighting inextricably.
Meng Tian suddenly said: "Father, your Majesty suddenly appointed me as the imperial officer, but it makes me feel uneasy."
Meng Ao replied nonchalantly: "What is there to be afraid of? You have been sitting in the position of Tingwei's right prisoner for some years. Now that Tingwei is empty, isn't it justifiable for you to take over?"
Meng Tian smiled bitterly: "Father said it simply. This is one of the three princes, Tingwei. This kid is only at the sixth level of martial arts. How can he be qualified to sit in this position? I'm afraid not many people are convinced."
Meng Ao thought for a few seconds, then paused and said nonchalantly: "His Majesty has issued an order, how can you still resist and disobey it? Is it possible that you want to imitate Gongsun Qi in killing embryos?"
Meng Tian had a complex expression on his face and absentmindedly paused, but Meng Ao seized the opportunity and strangled Dalong in one fell swoop.
Meng Tian threw the chess piece in his hand and said, "My child has lost."
Meng Ao Bu Yu said: "You are distracted when playing chess. If you don't lose, who will lose?"
Meng Tian's face was full of sorrow: "My child, I'm just worried..."
Meng Ao sneered and interrupted: "I know what you are worried about. Your Majesty is so obviously winning people's hearts, can't I see it? Are you afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of Lu Chunqiu and Wei Yang?"
Meng Tian couldn't help but worry on his face: "What about you, father?"
Meng Ao said casually: "Let nature take its course, it is useless to think too much."
Meng Tian couldn't help but said: "Is there no other way?"
Meng Ao sighed: "Is there any other way? Is it really impossible to raise an army to rebel? My Meng family has been loyal for generations. Is it possible that in my generation, I really want to gain a reputation as a rebel and end up dead?
"
"Besides, everything is just your guess, isn't it? Maybe His Majesty's thoughts are not like this. Just wait and see what happens. You should be in front of your duties as a court captain, be loyal to our Great Qin, and take good care of this country. You shouldn't think about it.
Don’t think too much about it.”
Meng Tian just sighed.

In Wuchenghou Mansion, Wang Jian took the lead to receive the imperial edict, sent the young eunuch away with a smile, and then announced the good news to the whole palace, and the entire palace fell into a sea of joy.
However, Wang Li, who was returning home to visit relatives, felt that something was not right. He ran to Wang Jian's study and said to Wang Jian who was practicing calligraphy: "Grandpa, your Majesty may have other intentions for this move. We have to be more cautious."
Wang Jian looked at this grandson who looked very much like himself when he was young, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty values my Wang family and your father, and has specially promised the princess to renew your marriage. This is a great thing."
Wang Li said anxiously: "Grandpa, it must not be that simple. My grandson feels that something is very wrong. Your Majesty must have other intentions. My grandson feels that this is particularly important to our Wang family."
Wang Jian's face was serious: "Okay, stop thinking about it. Your father is about to get married. As his legitimate son, if you don't go to help more, don't you want to tire my old bones?"
Wang Li had no choice but to leave angrily.
When Wang Li walked far away, Wang Jian gave a bitter smile and said to himself: "Ignorance is blessing. Knowing too much about some things is of no benefit. Maybe the Wang family can continue well if there are fewer understanding people."
…
In the Lin Mansion, Lin Ze asked someone to find Chen Ping, and specially chose a pavilion in an empty garden, and asked the four elders of Fang Xiandao to guard the area to prevent anyone from approaching.
When Chen Ping saw Lin Ze setting up this battle, he asked solemnly: "Uncle Master, what happened? Did you call me over in such a hurry?"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Relax, I have a good reason for coming to you. Why are you keeping a straight face? Come on, smile."
Chen Ping... it's you who made the atmosphere so tense. Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face: "Uncle, please give me your instructions if you have anything to do."
Lin Ze curled his lips: "The smile is really ugly."
Chen Ping...
Lin Ze did not dwell too much on this matter, and his face returned to seriousness and said: "Master Hu Hai is about to take up the post of right eunuch of Tingwei. For us, this is a rare opportunity. I plan to take this opportunity to establish our intelligence system."
."
"Young Master asked me who I preferred to be responsible for this matter. I recommended you. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping replied very solemnly: "Uncle, please rest assured that Ping will do his best to establish a comprehensive intelligence system as soon as possible."
Lin Ze nodded: "Having confidence is a good thing, but you don't have to shoulder everything by yourself. If you need money or people, just say it. Everything should focus on the overall situation."
Chen Ping was moved for a while: "My parents gave birth to me, and my uncle knows me. Ping swears here that my uncle has his destiny, and he will not give up even if he dies."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Okay, okay, why are you so solemn? Do your work well, and the master's position promised to you will be won for you sooner or later."
Chen Ping nodded gratefully.
Lin Ze suddenly seemed to have remembered something and said: "Oh, by the way, as for Senior Brother Lu, you should have less contact with him. After all, each of you is his own master. If you keep in close contact with each other, it will be a waste for you and him.
Not a good thing."
Chen Ping seemed to have been poured cold water on him, and he immediately woke up from his fever. He was silent for a while and replied: "Ping knows, and will cut off contact with Master in the future."
