Forty refusal
"I prefer to cooperate with real villains rather than hypocrites, real villains are much more frank than hypocrites, this reason, Lord Li is satisfied?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes were sharp, as if she wanted to see through his flesh and blood, and Li Wenfu recalled that this feeling had only been felt by the emperor eighteen years ago.
Li Wenfu sighed in his heart, worthy of being a member of the Northern Underworld family, a little girl, has such momentum, no wonder the Northern Underworld can stand in troubled times for hundreds of years without being divided, and even has always been in the trend of a strong country.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Li Wenfu got up and confessed, and said, "Minister, thank Your Highness for your kindness." It's just that the minister is lazy and doesn't like to chase fame and fortune, not to mention, the minister only loves money, and there is really no temptation for the minister. ”
was originally a refusal, but Beiming Yimo heard the helplessness, and there were some mixed feelings in her heart, she knew that Li Wenfu was telling lies.
Let's ask, if a person really doesn't like to gain fame, why study hard for decades, step by step in the officialdom, and get a small four-grade official position?
"Master Li, if this is the case, why did you go down the road of officialdom in the first place? Why not go into business? ”
"The Northern Underworld is different from other countries, it does not pay attention to the set of farmers and businessmen, no matter which industry it is, there is no distinction between high and low, this is the national law of the Northern Underworld."
"Master Li doesn't have to use the elders in the family to prevaricate me, the old lady Li and the old lady are both enlightened people, otherwise you will not be allowed to marry a peasant woman, even Mrs. Li has not come out for three years, and the second elder has not forced you to take a concubine."
"Minister......" Li Wenfu subconsciously wanted to refute.
Beiming Yimo didn't want to listen to his nonsense for half a minute, and interrupted directly, "You are an official because you have ambitions, and you have studied hard for many years just to get ahead one day, and you can contribute to Beiming, you have a patriotic heart and a compassionate heart!" ”
"You say you love money, but in your twenty years as an official, you have never been greedy for a penny! The ministry you're in is a big fat piece of meat. ”
"Li Wenfu, ask yourself, where did all the blood go at the beginning! It's not that today's officialdom makes you numb, it's that you have given up on your original self! ”
Beiming asked again and again, which made Li Wenfu confused, yes, if he hadn't had ambitions back then, why would he have embarked on this road?
It's just that no matter how much young and frivolous he is, he has been smoothed out by the ruthlessness of the years and the darkness of officialdom.
A villain who loves money can't stand in the way of others, and no one wants to have a bad relationship with him, so he naturally won't be remembered, and he doesn't have to worry about implicating his family.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister is still the same sentence, he has no intention of being in a high position, the minister just wants to be plain, and keeping his family stable for a lifetime is what the minister wants in this life."
"Minister, retire."
After Li Wenfu finished speaking, he turned around and left, not worrying about whether Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager would pursue his rudeness.
Li Wenfu left in a hurry, not so much to leave, but to escape. Yes, it is to escape, he is afraid that if he stays any longer, he will be moved, and he will be in the waves.
Li Wenfu was also very tormented, in fact, the words of the imperial princess had already set off a wave in his heart, but now, above the court, there are many dangers, and the slightest carelessness will lead to a catastrophe.
Take the current situation as an example, the imperial power and the Left Prime Party and others are fighting separately, and some time ago, the Holy Lord took the initiative to attack and cut off several roots of the Left Prime Minister's Party, so that it could avoid the edge.
However, there are exceptions to everything, don't look at the help of the Inspector Factory, the King of Nanning, the Right Prime Minister and the Qing Family, but there are countless protégés of the Left Minister, and most of the court and the central government are working for him, intertwined, and even the army may be involved.
In the final analysis, it is still the disaster left by the emperor, even if he has the intention to eradicate it in the end, he can't do anything, and he takes a wrong step.
Even if he has the heart to clear the traitor, for the sake of the family, he can't stand in line, but if he can help the princess, he is still willing to help.
The premise is that he can't be implicated.
