In fact, Li Miao was right.

Li Ping has indeed always been thinking about making a comeback.

But this comeback is different from what Li Miao had in mind.

It can even be said that it is completely the opposite.

What Li Miao thought was his comeback was that after Zhuge Liang died, no one in the court could suppress Li Ping in terms of status, so his comeback was a piece of cake.

But the comeback that Li Ping wanted was based on Zhuge Liang being alive.

In the past, Ji Han's foundation was unstable and there was no room for any mistakes. In order to reduce unnecessary internal friction, Zhuge Liang would rather bear the reputation of monopolizing power than keep himself in cold storage.

But the results of this battle in Guanzhong were too brilliant.

The Han Dynasty not only regained Guanzhong, but also captured Bingzhou and Hedong, a rare important county in the world.

As a result, how many positions will Dahan need to increase? How many additional manpower will be sent?

Looking at the Han Dynasty's court and local areas, how many people are qualified and capable to pastor a state?

As an auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor, Li Ping has been quietly staying in Jincheng for these years, isn't he just waiting for this day?

I never thought that when this day came, Zhuge Liang was gone!

Li Ping knew very well that what he had done before was taboo to the royal family.

With his own identity and what he has done before, who else but Zhuge Liang would dare to use him?

The more valuable your status is, the more no one in the court can compare with you, and the less likely the emperor will use you.

Li Miao talked a lot about "the king's fear of his ministers" in front of him.

It can only be said that Zhuge Liang always made the emperor fearful.

Doesn't he know that the emperor also wants to be on guard against him?

Li Ping believed that he must know, but he was just pretending not to know.

"Guanghan Li family?"

Li Ping's laughter was like a drake's voice, and at the same time it was full of gloom:

"It seems that Mrs. Li is still unwilling to give in. She is so impatient. She just wants to push me out so that she can regain a foothold in the Han Dynasty. It's a good idea!"

If you violate the emperor's taboos, you will bear it yourself.

If you really win, they will eat meat for nothing.

Thinking of this, Li Ping's eyes became more and more gloomy.

More than ten days later, Hanzhong.

"Your Majesty, Jincheng sent an urgent report, saying that General Hussar has something important to report secretly!"

"General Hussars? Li Zhengfang?"

Although since the prime minister came to Han Dynasty, Adou began to try to handle government affairs alone.

Especially last year when the prime minister led the army to the north, Adou has officially taken over all government affairs.

The most that can be done is to send some major events to the front line and inform the Prime Minister.

But at that time, Adou felt that he was much more relaxed than he is now.

Because he knows that as long as his father-in-law is still around, he will always take care of himself.

Even if I make a wrong decision, my father-in-law will help correct it.

It's different now.

My father-in-law is gone, and the decisions I make, no matter whether the consequences are good or bad, can only be borne by myself in the end.

Thinking of this, Adou couldn't help but sigh.

I took another look at the memorials sent from the Chancellor's Desk, and they were still piled high.

This made him subconsciously rub his eyebrows.

I wonder where Jiang Wan is already?

It should be easier when Shangshu Ling arrives in Hanzhong, right?

Unexpectedly, he received a secret report from Li Ping who was also staying in Jincheng before he could wait for the Minister to order Jiang Wan.

When he heard the title "General Hussar", Adou immediately remembered what the Queen had said to him a few days ago.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally stretched out his hand and said:

"Send it up."

Ben had made up his mind that no matter what Li Ping said in the secret memorial, he would not listen.

Unexpectedly, when he saw only half of it, A Dou's fat face suddenly turned red.

After holding back his anger, Adou was so angry that he was trembling all over. He smashed the secret music to the ground and cursed loudly:

"Dog slave!"

Probably because he cursed out of frustration, A Dou suddenly stood up again and kicked Mi Zuo far away.

"Dog slave! Dog slave!"

Adou walked back and forth a few steps, his eyes were already red, and he said viciously:

"I will definitely kill this beast!"

The emperor has always been kind, and the prime minister has strictly disciplined him, so his temper has always been well controlled.

The people in the palace have never seen the emperor so furious, and the faces of the people standing around him turned pale.

Being smart, he quickly and quietly ran to report to the Queen.

The Queen's third pregnancy (the first one was miscarried) was destined not to be raised quietly.

When I heard that the emperor was furious, he called people ravenous, and even openly shouted that he wanted to kill people.

The queen couldn't help but feel anxious.

The Prime Minister has just passed away, and His Majesty is so uncontrollable that I am afraid it will make all the ministers uneasy.

"Quick, bring up the bamboo sedan and carry me to see His Majesty!"

The queen's belly is already too big, so she can only be supported by others and walk slowly, not fast.

At this time, she was anxious to go to see the emperor, so she had to be carried there.

Adou, who was full of anger, saw the queen coming and quickly stepped forward to support her:

"Why is the queen here?"

Zhang Xingcai's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he could immediately see the ravaged secret figure.

Following the queen's gaze, Adou understood. He forced a smile, bent down to pick up the secret music, and explained:

"This was accidentally dropped."

Zhang Xingcai didn't say anything, just sat down with his hands on his waist and said warmly:

"Your Majesty's screams and curses can be heard three miles outside. My father-in-law has just left. I was afraid that Your Majesty could not control his temper, so I came here to take a look."

When A Dou heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

He also knew that his reaction just now was a bit too scary.

If Cao Rui were in this situation, none of the people serving the emperor today would survive.

When Cao Rui was seriously ill and was crown prince, his queen tried to visit him but was unable to do so. Finally, she turned to the people around her to inquire about Cao Rui's condition.

Cao Rui suspected that someone had secretly informed the queen, so he immediately killed everyone who was serving him at the time.

On the other hand, Adou didn't think there was anything wrong with what the Queen did.

After all, the Queen has been the one who has given me advice for so many years.

Only this time, he was a little worried that the secret music would be known to the queen, which would cause the queen's mood swings when she was about to give birth, which would be detrimental to her health.

But I saw that he deliberately said lightly:

"I've been dealing with government affairs all day these past few days, and I've been a little distracted, so I couldn't control my temper for a while, which made the queen worried."

"Really?" Zhang Xingcai's eyes once again fell on the memorial in Adou's hand, "Your Majesty, this memorial is dirty. Can you let me wipe it?"

When A Dou saw that the queen kept staring at the secret message, he knew that he couldn't hide it.

He hesitated a little, but finally handed over the secret note:

"This is an urgent note sent by someone from Li Ping, who is staying in Jincheng. What he said is not good. The Queen must remember not to get angry, lest she might get pregnant."

The queen took the secret note and said with a smile:

"It's just some stupid words, what else can make me angry?"

Adou smiled bitterly:
To be continued...
