Wu Qianping was in this carriage, in the twilight of the night, revealing a sense of powerlessness that Ming Yi had never seen.

Mingyi was a little caught off guard, and then a trace of loss appeared in her heart, she seemed to have had an illusion that no matter what happened, it would not be difficult for Wu Qianping. But this loss is fleeting in an instant, and it becomes a soft, very intimate feeling, yes, he is just a helpless person, and it has been a hundred years since he came to this day, how can there be no trouble.

If he always shows that he is omnipotent about himself, this is the most insecure, either because he himself lacks basic preparedness for danger, or because he has too many reservations about her.

After thinking about it, she was no longer entangled, and her eyes were sincere: "Do you think the current situation is not optimistic?" ”

Wu Qianping nodded: "Riding the wall is the most unsafe way. Receiving the support of many parties also means that no party fully trusts you, and at the critical time, you must be the one who is given up. Needless to say, Wei Shi, in fact, the relationship is already very tense, and it is impossible for me to be swayed by them, and I do not hide my thoughts. At present, it is still in an evenly matched, and Wei Mo is an official who lives in Shangshu, but he is excluded because of his uprightness in the court. Wei Qian's official career is not smooth, which has a lot to do with his father. Therefore, although they are famous, they have no succession. Therefore, I am very important to them, and as long as they do not divorce their wives, they will not turn against me now. ”

When Wu Qianping said this, he deliberately glanced at Ming Yi, a little worried.

Ming Yi's face was blank, and he didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he asked, "What about the Cui family?" Do you have any doubts? ”

"Cui Xuan is an old and cunning person, he uses me and prevents me, this position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works is a bribe to me, with real benefits, no real power." Wu Qianping broke everything up and crumpled it for the first time and explained it to Ming Yi.

Mingyi's attention returned and nodded: "This should be because you have been secretly greedy for small profits in the past few years, and the Cui family has looked at it and thinks that it can be used to catch you." ”

Wu Qianping approvingly: "Not stupid. In the past few years, I have really tried my best to play such a role, capable, fair, and very honest in the eyes of outsiders, and my life is shabby. And those who are arranged around me will see that I am greedy for small profits, miserly, and have an improper relationship with you. Only such people can reassure them. Greedy, but in moderation. ”

Ming Yi suddenly felt that he had been deceived by Wu Qianping's disguise, so for him, it turned out that he was not the real him, those stingy calculations, those step-by-step actions, it turned out to be a false image set up by him, in order to show the people who were always staring at him, he was playing this role day and night.

Ming Yi looked at the handsome face in front of him, and suddenly felt a little strange, but this strangeness came from a fresh discovery, not a sense of distance. The more you discover, the more your heart sinks. Who doesn't have a crush on someone who is strong and capable? This person, the scheming in his heart, the strength of his soul, are beyond his imagination.

She stared blankly, and suddenly said, "I seem to know you on the first day." ”

Wu Qianping hugged her into his arms, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear: "It's okay if everything is fake, just remember, it's true to you." ”

Mingyi really believes in this sentence and doesn't need a reason.

"Will the Choi clan be bad for you?" Mingyi put away his thoughts and said what he was worried about.

"Their eyes are always there, including my dealings with Wei Ao, how can they hide it. But I also reported to the Cui family on 1510, and for the time being, they will not suspect that I have any ideas, but think that I am the best chess piece to put next to Wei Ao, so I can know if Wei Ao has the handle of their henchmen in his hands and when to do it. I know too much about Cui's affairs, and I can't turn my face with them, otherwise, there will be no place to die. Wu Qianping said calmly.

Mingyi felt tired for him when he listened. Yes, the Cui family's secret support for the three gangs is a taboo in the emperor's heart. Although there are rumors in the government and the opposition, there is no evidence. Only Wu Qianping, as a liaison envoy, has enough evidence and confessions to make Cui's fall on his heels. If he has the heart to betray the Cui family, the Cui family will definitely use the power of the rivers and lakes to destroy him.

"At the moment, you don't need to betray the Cui clan, right? Not much good for you. Mingyi judged.

Wu Qianping said with a smile: "Yes, if I rashly expose the Cui clan to the Holy Lord now, what will be the result?" As a result, the Holy Lords took my head in exchange for taking away a part of the Cui clan's power. In this way, the government and the opposition are stable, killing chickens and setting an example. ”

Mingyi's eyes widened, and he felt that these routines were too deep. After thinking about it carefully, I understand, yes, how could the emperor offend such a deep-rooted family as the Cui family for the words of a small official, and even the entire family group behind it. Without the support of these families, the emperor would not have become an emperor. Of course, these top-secret details are useful, but they are only useful to the emperor, who can restrain the Cui family, let them keep to themselves, and no longer do anything wrong, but they will not be killed.

The sacrifices are always these petty officials who have no background and are in civilian positions.

Thinking of this, she felt sorry for Wu Qianping inexplicably. hugged him with his backhand: "If one day, you are tired, I will accompany you to leave these rights and wrongs." ”

Wu Qianping lowered his head and buried it in her hair, was silent for a while, and said: "With your sentence, it is enough, if I am greedy for life and afraid of death, it is not worth you to say this." Don't worry, I'll win. ”

Mingyi's eyes were a little moist, and he even felt that everything was not so real.

What kind of fairy boyfriend is this? The belly is black and handsome, and the perseverance is full of charm. What does it have to do with falling in love with such a person, what is tomorrow and what is the future?

Calm, calm down. Ming Yi suppressed himself and diverted the topic: "Are we going to rest in the wild tonight?" ”

Wu Qianping asked, "Are you tired?" Time was pressing, and I was ready to travel all night tonight, and I would not start walking until noon, and the horses would be able to hold on for a while. When you can go to the post station, rest for an hour at the post station, change horses, and then we will set off again. ”

Ming Yi pinched his fingers and counted for a long time, and he had to travel until three o'clock in the morning, and wrinkled his nose: "That coachman is hard enough." What we say, are we afraid that the driver will hear it? ”

Wu Qianping shook his head: "This carriage belongs to the official office, and in order to prevent someone from eavesdropping, the carriage in front of the official office is covered with three layers of felt, which is difficult to hear." And the sound of the horses was already loud. ”

Ming Yi said worriedly: "You still need to cultivate some loyal people around you. Although the people in the government are favored by you and loyal to you, they can't take them with you after all, and the people around you don't know what the details are. ”

"Loyal people are so easy to find. The Liu Enchao you recommended is not bad, he is very down-to-earth and capable, and he has saved me a lot of things. As for the subordinates in the family and the official office, it is indeed necessary to install some of their own people. When we got back, we started to make arrangements. Wu Qianping approvingly.

We? Mingyi likes this word, and likes the feeling that although he is outside the officialdom, as a woman, he can keep pace with him, and there is no substitute for each other.
