Yang Shijun had mixed feelings in his heart, he knew how grateful Han Pingzhi was for saving him, but he caused this catastrophe just now, which was also related to him, and if he sincerely thanked him at this moment, he would inevitably be a little unwilling in his heart.

However, after so many years in the White Guard organization, Yang Shijun has also developed the ability to bend and stretch, and he understands in his heart that the most important thing at this moment is to quickly settle the difficulty in front of him, as for what happens after that, it is a matter for later.

He knelt and moved in front of Han Pingzhi, and kowtowed heavily: "Lord Han, thank you for ignoring your past suspicions, Yang is here to kowtow to you." ”

Several white-clothed guards next to them saw Yang Shijun's virtue, and they all sneered in their hearts, as white-clothed guards, they were used to being arrogant, except for the emperor's cronies in front of him, and the emperor himself, they almost didn't take anyone in their eyes, and when did they suffer such a shame.

Yang Shijun was originally in the White Guard Organization, and he was also the most ruthless character, although the martial arts cultivation was not the highest one, but he was definitely the most ruthless person when it came to doing things, so in the White Guard Organization, he had a certain prestige, but after experiencing today's incident, his prestige was suddenly discredited.

Although several white-clothed guards didn't say anything on the surface, they already despised this boss in their hearts.

Zhou Zhou Ming sat on the chair, seeing the good shows one after another, not to mention how happy he was, he even felt that no one came to sell peanuts and melon seeds at this time, which was a big regret in his life.

Han Pingzhi is an old oilman in officialdom, and he naturally understands in his heart that he is from Yan Qiu's hands, although he has been out of his sphere of influence, but the outside world has always regarded him as a Yan Qiu person, this identity label has given him a lot of protection in many cases, but sometimes it is also a stumbling block to his promotion and fortune.

After all, the world belongs to the emperor, and the person who becomes the emperor is not a fool, even if he trusts Yan Qiu, he doesn't want his sphere of influence to be too large, and eventually not under his control, and cause a catastrophe.

Therefore, although the emperor trusts Yan Qiu and his subordinates very much, and is not stingy with their rewards and promotions, the emperor is very wary of people like Han Pingzhi who leave Yan Qiu's sphere of influence.

The emperor's attitude towards these people is very clear, control the use, demote the treatment, and until the last resort, there must be no leader of any yamen.

The reason why Han Ping was able to become the chief manager of the General Affairs Office was also because of Yan Qiu's hard work, and Han Pingzhi was in the position of the chief manager, whether it was handling affairs or dealing with the forces of all parties in peacetime, he handled it very well.

is just restricted by his identity and background, no matter how hard Han Pingzhi tries, he will never be favored by the emperor, which has also become a problem for him.

And the reason why he values Zhou Ming so much is precisely because Zhou Zhou Ming brings him a hope, as long as he can perfectly complete the task of capturing these spies in the northern country, the court and the emperor will definitely look at him differently, and then he will have a chance to be promoted.

And just now he argued with Yang Shijun in front of several fathers-in-law in the palace, this is actually a move he played after careful consideration, the purpose is to let those fathers-in-law know that he Han Pingzhi is an official of the Great Chu State, and he is the emperor's Yulu, and he is only loyal to the emperor alone, as for Yan Qiu's grace to himself, he will never forget, but that is already in the past.

Although he already had a plan to cut off with the Yan Qiu forces in his heart, Han Pingzhi also knew in his heart that this was not the time to completely turn his face and do the cutting, his most powerful backer in the future, Zhou Ming, was not strong enough to protect himself, he could only deal with everything by himself now, handle the relationship with all sides, and let himself be invincible no matter how much danger he encountered.

Even if things don't go in the direction he expected in the future, and Zhou Ming doesn't become a pillar of the country, then he can return to Yan Qiu's sphere of influence, at least there is no problem in keeping his life safe.

Just because he had this calculation in his heart, seeing Yang Shijun suddenly kneeling and kowtowing to him, Han Pingzhi hurriedly bent down to help: "Lord Yang, why are you doing this?" You and I are both officials of the imperial court, and we are deeply favored by the emperor, and you were so impulsive just now, just to be loyal to the emperor.

It's just that you used the wrong way, but fortunately you can wake up in time and stop the precipice, I believe that today's saints are wise and merciful, even if they know what happened today, they shouldn't blame you. ”

Since Han Pingzhi has been defending Zhou Ming just now, Yang Shijun has a lot of opinions about him, and even treats him as a thorn in the flesh, until he heard these words at this moment, Yang Shijun suddenly woke up, not to mention martial arts cultivation, just in terms of speech and ability to do things, Han Pingzhi is a lot higher than himself.

I had a verbal conflict with him just now, but as a result, not only did people not go to their hearts and hated themselves, but they also said such reasonable words at such a critical moment, isn't this just a natural step down for yourself?

Thinking of this, Yang Shijun felt guilty for a while, and at the same time felt sorry for the loss of such a capable leader of the White Guard Organization.

"Lord Han, don't thank you for your kindness, I won't say anything else, we will be brothers in life and death in the future, and your business is my business."

After saying this, Yang Shijun kowtowed a few more times, and then wanted to stand up.

Han Pingzhi stood next to him and looked at it in his eyes, and wanted to laugh for a while, and said in his heart that this Yang Shijun is simply simple-minded and has developed limbs, although I don't hate you, and even give you the stairs down, but don't forget that there is still a father-in-law in the palace here, if you don't get them done, just stand up in a dignified manner, don't you still take the emperor in your eyes?

Han Pingzhi, who was extremely tired, couldn't let it go, after all, what happened in the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, no matter how rotten it was in the end, he had to come forward to clean up the mess.

Taking advantage of people's inattention, he secretly kicked Yang Shijun's knee that was about to stand up straight, and at the same time gave him a look, which meant to remind Yang Shijun that this matter was not over yet, and those fathers-in-law had not yet done it.

Yang Shijun was kicked, he was confused at first, and he didn't understand Han Pingzhi's intentions, until he saw his eyes, and then he realized in his heart that he was happy, but he almost made a big mistake again.

He hurriedly knelt down again, and then knelt and moved to the side of several fathers-in-law, kneeling honestly, and begging for mercy at the same time: "Several fathers-in-law, I was really confused just now, and I asked a few fathers-in-law to raise their noble hands and spare me this time." ”

Those fathers-in-law were happy to be a favor, after all, Han Pingzhi had already taken over the task of reporting this matter to the emperor just now, so several people hurriedly helped Yang Shijun up.

"Lord Yang is Yan Gong's right-hand man, how can we not know how many errands he has done for the emperor? It's understandable to lose your words for a while, as long as you are cautious in the future. ”

"Lord Yang, just rest assured, everyone is not an outsider, even if the emperor knows about this matter in the future, we will say a few more good words for you within the scope of our ability."

Seeing that several fathers-in-law were so easily handled, Yang Shijun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after a thousand thanks, he slowly stood up.

"The great kindness of several fathers-in-law, Yang is unforgettable, if there are any difficult errands for several fathers-in-law in the future, even if you talk to me, you will definitely risk your life to do it."

After that, everyone praised each other in a friendly way.

Zhou Zhou Ming originally thought that Yang Shijun would definitely be finished this time, but he didn't expect that under Han Pingzhi's understatement of several operations, he actually passed the test safely and made friends with those fathers-in-law, which really opened his eyes, and he also had a new understanding of the masters who were mixed in the officialdom.

Seeing the ugliness of everyone entertaining each other, Zhou Ming almost vomited, it seems that he can't be a high-ranking official in the Great Chu State, after all, he really can't stand this kind of officialdom atmosphere.

Seeing that the crisis had passed, Yang Shijun was also afraid for a while, if it weren't for Han Pingzhi who didn't care about his past suspicions just now and came to the rescue, he would definitely be finished this time.

The joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe even made him forget what made Zhou Ming difficult just now.

A few white-clothed guards on the side felt ashamed when they saw that their boss had forgotten their business in order to save their lives.

"Lord Yang, it seems that there is something serious that has not been done yet?" One of the white-clothed guards reminded, his tone already full of disrespect.

After so many years of working in the White Guard organization, from the tone of voice, Yang Shijun understood that he had lost so much face just now, and he had forgotten about the big matter of cleaning up Zhou Ming, and his subordinates must have looked down on themselves in their hearts.

He absolutely couldn't let his subordinates be so disrespectful to him, because if he didn't respond to this disrespect immediately, after these white-clothed guards went back, they would definitely spread the word about their disgrace, and even if he was thick-skinned at that time, he would definitely not be able to mix it anymore.

Yang Shijun rolled his eyes and thought of a way to save his face, that is, to continue to find trouble with Zhou Ming, and get the face he had just lost back from Zhou Ming.

Although doing so will more or less hurt Han Pingzhi's interests, he can't care so much at the moment, even if this matter will make Han Pingzhi lose his official position, he can only do so, and he will come forward in the future and transfer Han Pingzhi back to the White Guard Organization.

And once such a situation occurs, it will be beneficial and harmless for both the White Guard Organization and Yang Shijun, because at that time, Yang Shijun will not only have one more brother in the organization who will share life and death, but also one more capable officer of the White Guard Organization.

Thinking of this, the haze in Yang Shijun's heart just now was swept away, and he glanced at Zhou Ming, who was sitting on the chair, crossing Erlang's legs, leisurely, and the anger in his heart did not come to a place.
