Chapter 813: Ruthless

Back in the room, Wu Qianping informed Mingyi of the purpose of his visit to Hangzhou. This time, in fact, there is a secret decree of the saint to proclaim. Wu Qianping, the head of the Ministry of Works, met with Zheng Lang, the observer of western Zhejiang, in the name of inspecting the embankment fortifications of the river embankment in western Zhejiang, and did things according to his instructions.

Ming Yi heard it in a fog: "Zheng Lang? is also surnamed Zheng, is it also from the Zheng family in Xingyang? ”

Wu Qianping nodded: "Zheng Lang is the son of Zheng Yu, the ancestor of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and Zheng Yu was the prime minister when he was the emperor. This Zheng Lang is not idle, he went out to western Zhejiang from the household servant, and was the observer envoy of Eyue and western Zhejiang, and he was a land of fish and rice under his rule, which can be described as the granary of the country. When he returns to Chang'an in the future, the position of Shangshu is bound to be obtained. ”

Ming Yi smiled: "My husband is also a squire, if you go out to the place to be an observer envoy, a festival envoy, I can also follow Xiang to enjoy Qingfu." ”

Wu Qianping laughed at himself: "How can I compare with it, even if Zheng Lang's branch is not vigorous, he is always the son of the Zheng family, and the cousin brothers are flourishing in various ministries and places. ”

Mingyi knew that he didn't mean to be self-indulgent, but he couldn't see him lonely at all. How could it happen without a trace? The helplessness and humiliation he experienced as a child cannot be erased even if he is now the hottest upstart.

Ming Yi smiled heartlessly: "You are better than all of them, you make the most capable woman in the world die for you." ”

Seeing her smug appearance, Wu Qianping finally couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "No, it's the taste of eating marrow." Her face was hot, and she glanced at him with shyness and anger, and her heart was always happy. Since living in the military mansion, I have seen that he is becoming more and more confident and powerful day by day, and even the original yin owl spirit has been well concealed, and the whole person seems more calm and amiable.

Mingyi also got to know him better and better. This kind of calmness and amiability is only what he needs to rise to a high position, appearing more humble and non-aggressive. Just as the original Yin Owl was ruthless, there was also a great element of camouflage, in order to highlight his fairness and clarity, he had no desire to please him.

But that ruthlessness and coldness are not rootless trees. There is a kind of ruthlessness in his heart. That's why he thinks more about everything and doesn't put his hopes in others. Mingyi is pleased that now she and him have become the closest union, and in Wu Qianping's heart, the two are inseparable. His claws will only be aimed at the outside, and in front of Mingyi, all he will reveal is unguarded, soft fur.

"The Zheng family sacrificed Zheng Hao's wishes and became a national relative, taking Zheng Hao's room as a hostage, in the hands of the Son of Heaven. Perhaps, Zheng Lang will also have a more open career because of this. Wu Qianping frowned, he was obviously still hesitating about Zheng Lang's attitude.

Mingyi felt that he might have something unfinished, but she didn't know much about the affairs of the court, and she didn't want to delve into it, so she only reminded: "Zheng Hao's short life, will it affect this situation?" ”

Wu Qianping's brows stretched slightly: "If it is really as Ming Yi said, I should try my best to be friendly with Zheng Lang." ”

Ming Yi was puzzled at first, but soon understood. Zheng Haozai, although it shows Xuanzong's favor to the Zheng family, and can stay in Beijing to hold him hostage, but after all, it also makes the Zheng family have the support of the princess in the court, and Xuanzong will be more cautious about using the Zheng family. Zheng Hao's death, the Zheng family has the name of a concubine, and the actual strength is greatly weakened, which not only has a gap with other pretentious and arrogant families, but also loses Zheng Hao, the emperor's son-in-law of the power center, which will make Zheng Lang's career smooth and free from suspicion.

Ming Yi smiled: "If Zheng Lang becomes a scholar, I am afraid that the situation in the DPRK and China will be even more chaotic." ”

"Why not?" Wu Qianping's eyes flashed brightly, like a hunting wolf seeing a flock of sheep.

Mingyi was stunned for a while. She thought that she was not a vain and shallow person, and thought that only a man with high virtue and nobility who did not serve things was a real male god, but she still couldn't refute her heart, this man full of ambition and desire to conquer, at this moment, made her feel willing to destroy the world for him.

When I calmed down, I became worried again.

"I know you want to show your strength in the court, for your ambitions, and for the future family. But ambition should be stopped in moderation, and it should be free, and it must not be lost. What Ming Yi remembered in his mind was that it was difficult for the powerful ministers in history to retreat and get involved in the whirlpool, and he was afraid that he couldn't help himself.

Wu Qianping hugged her in his arms: "I will not forget my original intention." Originally, all I wanted was self-preservation and well-being. Let others scruple and make the family prosperous. As for wealth, you should know that if I am not here, I will not be easily manipulated. ”

Mingyi pressed against his chest, and felt that he was sincere. At this time, there are no rivers and lakes and no court in my heart, I just want to be able to stay safe with him.

One step further, it is the three-product master. At that time, his private house will not be just his private affair. With Wei Shouyan here, it may be a good thing, blocking the way for other families to send their daughters and sisters to the door. Those who are in high positions refuse to let their daughters be concubines, and those who are weak can be refused. If only Ming Yi is by his side, without a prominent family background, and without the help of the court, it is natural that someone will stuff a woman to his mansion to be the housewife.

Thinking like this, she still has to take care of Wei Shouyan. Give her a shelter from the wind and rain, and also give herself a smooth road.

Early the next morning, Feng Huan knocked on the door outside and coughed twice.

Ming Yi woke up, saw that Wu Qianping beside him was still with his eyes closed, thinking that he had been running all the way day and night, he must have been very tired, and he couldn't bear to wake up, so he sat up quietly, wanting to freshen up first and then call him.

His hand was suddenly grabbed by him: "Why do you want to see other men in the morning." ”

Ming Yi listened to his unhappy tone, knowing that he had always cared about his approach to Feng Huan, he couldn't cry or laugh: "I never treated him as a man." ”

"But he's always been a man." Wu Qianping probably felt a little vexatious, and his voice was softer, "I caught a glimpse of him last night dressed as a man, and his demeanor is extraordinary. ”

Seeing that he was clearly jealous, Ming Yi suddenly felt extremely cute, and turned around and pecked him lightly: "He is Hong Yi's husband and my godson's grandfather, and he will have to deal with him in the future." ”

Wu Qianping also felt that he was a little too stingy, and said with a stiff face: "Okay, but you go back to Chang'an with me." ”

Mingyi asked as he put it on, "That's nature." Don't know when you're going back? I hope soon. ”

"I have to go to Runzhou. The western Zhejiang Observation Embassy is located in Runzhou, and Du Lang is a cautious man, and I am afraid that it will take some time for me to convince him to trust me and bring back what the Holy Lord wants. Wu Qianping moved neatly and quickly cleaned himself up.

Ming Yi nodded: "Ask Feng Huan in a while, our Shangguan Gang and Tianyi Gang have to make a plan for alliance cooperation this time, if he can deal with it alone, I will accompany you to Runzhou." ”

Wu Qian replied: "That's the best. ”

The two went downstairs hand in hand, both wearing ordinary clothes, and no one could identify them. They looked at each other, and their eyebrows and eyes were smiling. No matter how you look at it, they are just a couple who are handsome and love each other. Feng Huan was already downstairs preparing for the morning meal, and when he saw the two of them coming down, he only glanced at it and didn't care.
