Chapter 789: Heavenly Game
Ming Yi explained what he and Ling Zhanyun said to Wu Qianping in detail. The more Wu Qianping listened, the more solemn his expression became, and he gradually sat upright, and his body became tense.
Ming Yi was apprehensive and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" Is it too risky? ”
Wu Qianping shook his head: "This road is indeed the easiest way to achieve our goal, but I have never thought of it with the help of Lijingmen before, and this road is extremely difficult." Now, there is such a gap in life, and I can't believe it for a while. ”
Ming Yi understood Wu Qianping's feelings, and after talking with him every day, he was already familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China. Looking at a few years later, there are only three companies that stand in the way of Wu Qianping's promotion: Linghu, Wei Ao, and Cui's. The rest of the forces are not to be feared. The Wei family's successors are weak, it is difficult for their descendants to become great weapons, and there is a lack of party henchmen in the court. After all, Bai Minzhong is old, although Xuanzong did not embarrass him because of the impeachment of the concubine Zheng Hao, but the disharmony between the princess and the husband and wife cannot be hidden, and the princess of Wanshou has been in trouble for a long time, Xuanzong will inevitably feel that Bai Minzhong's original selection of the concubine is unsatisfactory, and he will tell the old man a few times, I am afraid that he will really return to his hometown.
Linghu is staring at the position of Cui Xuan's right minister, this position is already precarious, as long as he catches one or two Cui clan's sore feet, it is likely that Cui Xuan will give way for the second time. Another point is to value the position of Zhongshu Ling, although this position does not sound as high and powerful as the governor of Shangshu Province, but there is one thing that is difficult to compare, that is, the closeness to the emperor. The Zhongshu Order is responsible for directly inheriting the will of the emperor and issuing edicts and supreme decrees. This is the person who can always be on the side of the emperor's eyes and ears, and the level of trust gained is more important than being in charge of the six departments.
The style of the Linghu family is also comparable to its surname. In the past, Linghu Chu, who braved the rain to support the coffin, was not afraid to make a humble gesture to win the favor of the king. Today, this Linghu is also loyal, except for the matter of hiding the family wealth, there is really no flaw in his words and deeds. When he appeared at the beginning of the time, as the unknown head of the Linghu family, he wanted to appear in front of people, which was the biggest adventure of the Linghu family in a hundred years. In order to achieve balance, the Linghu clan must want to stay on the king's side, and any wind and grass can be known earlier.
And Bai Minzhong's position as the left minister, although he is about to be given up, it is not easy to say at this time. Bai Min resigned on the face, but actually held the position of Menxia Province, which is the highest confidential department with Zhongshu Province, and is extremely close. The province has the power to formulate policies, and the province has the right to reject the reconsideration. The pieces sent by various ministries and localities must also be deliberated by the Ministry of Menxia and then sent to the emperor by the Zhongshu Province. Therefore, Zhongshu Ling was intimate with the emperor, and his provincial servants had the power to check and balance with him.
What Wei Ao is eyeing is Bai Minzhong's position.
The DPRK and China can reach this position of power, and there are some speculations about each other. Over the years, the Linghu family and Weiao well water do not violate the river water, firstly, Linghu is very cautious in his words and deeds, and he is worthy of his position, loyal, and secondly, the two have always been related, both from the Guangwang Mansion, and they were as close as brothers. Outsiders only know that Wei Ao started in the army, and Linghu is the son of a family.
Therefore, this left and right phase, Ling Hu and Wei Ao may have a tacit understanding, and they will help each other. Originally, this matter was nine out of ten, just waiting for Bai Minzhong to tell his old age, and Choi Hyun made a mistake.
The biggest reason why Linghu can form a cooperation with Wu Qianping is that he finally waited for the gap that could pry open the Cui family's status, that is, Wu Qianping, who the Cui family once trusted.
Wu Qianping explained: "I am far from qualified, and Linghu has never worried that I will win the phase. I also told him bluntly that I could help him remove the mountain of the Cui clan and let him get the position of right minister, and he would take the initiative to ask him to be transferred to Zhongshu Province, give up the post of servant of Shangshu Province, and strongly recommend me to this position. ”
Ming Yi was surprised: "The servant is in charge of the sixth department, and the real power in his hands is huge, can he really help you get this position?" I'm afraid it can't be done in the short term, right? ”
Wu Qianping nodded and said, "This matter requires the cooperation of many parties. First, the collapse of the Cui clan is not an overnight thing, there are eyes and ears like Lijingmen in the saint, how can you not know that the Cui clan secretly supports the three gangs? It's just that there are concerns, as long as the Cui family is still loyal to his duties, does not do anything rebellious, and loots the people's fat through the gangs in the rivers and lakes, rampant in the township, etc., he can turn a blind eye. Moreover, even if you want to deal with it, you will also consider that once the Cui family is forced to be anxious and uses the gangs to incite civil unrest, Datang will have internal and external troubles and it will be difficult to clean up. ”
Mingyi's eyes lit up: "So if we can break the connection between the Cui clan and the three gangs, or make the three gangs lose their status in the rivers and lakes and their power in various places, the Cui clan will be like a tiger with broken teeth, and if the emperor wants to clean it up, he doesn't have to have many scruples, right?" ”
Wu Qianping praised: "Madame and I are really heart-to-heart. ”
Ming Yi was stunned, a little in a trance for a while, all this seemed to be logical, how could it be so coincidental? He inexplicably became a member of the Shangguan gang, and then became the core of the gang step by step, and then made a little-known Yangzhou gang a sharp blade inserted into the first group of rivers and lakes. Prior to this, the position of the three gangs was as stable as Mount Tai, and no one could challenge it at all.
It is so coincidental that her resources in the rivers and lakes are seamlessly connected with Wu Qianping's needs. She may be the only person who can help Wu Qianping dismantle the Cui family's status.
Mingyi muttered, "That's good. If Yinniang's affairs are handled well, it is very likely that I can help you do this. ”
Wu Qianping saw that she sat farther away intentionally or unintentionally, and her attitude seemed to suddenly become cold, how could she not understand her thoughts, and wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she held on, and the atmosphere of silence was slightly embarrassing.
"I didn't plan to do that, after all, you also left the Shangguan Gang at that time......," Wu Qianping said.
"I know." Ming Yi interrupted him, turned his face, and smiled, "Why don't you and I say more. If I have any power to help you, I will not spare anything. If you are not good, how can I live? ”
Wu Qianping pursed his lips, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was moved: "Mingyi, thank you." ”
Ming Yi smiled lightly, slightly self-deprecating. She is not an innocent woman, she has an affectionate love for no reason, and even if she has, she doesn't dare to believe it. Love for no reason, when it comes, it touches the world, and when it goes, it is silent, and it is the most unreliable. The two need each other, intertwine with each other, and are inseparable from each other, so that they will last for a long time.
Especially women, they often feel that it is natural for their husbands to support a family. But she is not the kind of woman who can be raised with peace of mind, her world, both men and women have a world.
The person next to him has the ability to help him, so why pretend to be high and take a more difficult road? She really understands, and really, there is a trace of loss.
But she quickly forgot all about the loss.
