Chapter 875: Wanting to Cover Up (2)
At noon, Lord Jia said goodbye to Lord Qian on the grounds of "being troubled for a long time", and left the Privy Council accompanied by Qin Wei, who was worried.
Along the way, Qin Weiqiang endured the apprehension in his heart and chatted with Master Jia without a word.
I don't know why? Lord Jia seems to be particularly enthusiastic about Qin Wei today, just like the elders in the family greet the younger ones in every detail, and their attitude can even be described as "earnest", which makes it difficult for Qin Wei for unknown reasons to adapt for a while.
Even so, when Qin Wei escorted Master Jia back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he still rushed back to the Privy Council in a hurry.
Although Lord Jia was uncharacteristically extremely concerned about him today, and even did not shy away from showing his intention to woo him, Qin Wei knew in his heart that he could get to this day thanks to Lord Qian's support and cultivation, as for Lord Jia...... The profundity of the city is beyond his own consideration, so Qin Wei has always maintained a trace of vigilance against him.
What's more, Master Jia knew that Qin Wei had a great friendship with Lord Qian, but he deliberately showed favor to Qin Wei in front of Lord Qian. Such a blatant "digging into the wall", Mo said that Lord Qian would not be happy, and even Qin Wei himself felt that something was wrong.
Because of this, Qin Wei couldn't wait to rush back to the Privy Council after sending him back to Lord Jia, and he had to "admit his mistake" to Lord Qian in person
, I saw Lord Qian's attitude with my own eyes and heard Lord Qian's teachings with my own ears...... Even if he is scolded by Lord Qian, it is better than breeding gaps without knowing it.
After all, to this day, Lord Qian is still Qin Wei's most solid backer, and he finally got rid of Bai Jin, now is a good opportunity to "go further" with Lord Qian.
Only by being open and honest with Lord Qian can Qin Wei's heart be steady.
However, when the anxious Qin Wei hurriedly returned the same way, Lord Qian, who was originally bedridden to recuperate, slowly walked out of the Privy Council under the protection of seven or eight guards.
At this moment, a carriage and hundreds of stubborn armor soldiers were waiting outside the gate.
Since Lord Qian was assassinated by Liu Xunyi ten days ago, from the emperor's relatives to the officials of the government in Lin'an City, they were all panicked and trembling, and they were even more cautious in entering and exiting, guarding the crowds.
Especially Lord Qian, who lived for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, sent hundreds of elite personal protection in a row, as long as he stepped out of the Privy Council, he would be ready to fight and never leave.
In fact, it is not that these officials make a big fuss, it is really human nature. After all, ordinary people still know the truth that "it is better to die than to live", let alone these big men who hold great power and sit on power?
Regardless of whether there is a heavenly reincarnation or not, just talking about the good fortune of this life and this life is enough to make them greedy for life and afraid of death, and nostalgic for the world.
"The adult's injuries have not healed, this is ......"
"It turned out to be Lord Qin!"
Hearing Qin Wei's voice, Master Qian slowed down his pace, and turned to beckon lightly to Qin Wei, who was full of confusion, and the two guards who were blocked by the horizontal knife let him approach.
"Meet your lord!"
"Qin Wei, why are you back?" Looking down at Qin Wei, who was kneeling on the ground and respectful, Lord Qian asked in a wordy voice, "Could it be that your master doesn't need you to serve?"
"My lord Mingjian, Xia Guan just sent the prime minister back to his house, not his master. ”
"Oh?" Lord Qian raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "You are the pavilion master of the Dongfu Martial Pavilion, and Lord Jia is the prime minister of the Dongfu, he is not your master, who is your master?"
"The prime minister is Qin Wei's superior, but he is not Qin Wei's master. Qin Wei was righteous and awe-inspiring.
"What's the difference?"
"Of course it's different! All the officials who are higher than the lower are my superiors, maybe ten, maybe hundred, maybe thousand. But there is only one master, and he will never change. As for this, Qin Wei suddenly raised his head, looked at the expressionless Lord Qian with sincere eyes, and said righteously, "Qin Wei has only one master in his life...... It's an adult!"
However, in the face of Qin Wei, who spoke from the bottom of his heart, Lord Qian seemed to smile and did not respond.
"If you don't believe me, I'm willing to swear a poisonous oath in public......"
"Get in the car!"
Before Qin Wei finished speaking, Master Qian's expression eased, he left a faint sentence, and walked towards the carriage without looking back.
Hearing this, Qin Wei, who knew that he had escaped, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and trotted all the way to the front of Lord Qian, kneeling on the ground in public regardless of decency, and letting Lord Qian use his body as a stool and step on his back to board the carriage.
With a shout, the carriage slowly set off under the heavy protection of more than a hundred guards, and walked towards the distance in a mighty way.
"My lord, I didn't know about Lord Jia's sudden visit today......
"Needless to say, I believe you. ”
In the carriage, when Qin Wei, who couldn't hold back his excitement, wanted to explain, Lord Qian waved his hand lightly and said with a light smile: "I know very well what you are, otherwise I wouldn't be in the same car with you." ”
"Your Excellency is wise!" Qin Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, and at the same time brushed his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Actually, there's something this official has always wanted to ask you. Lord Qian changed his words and said in a deep voice, "What happened to Tianji Pavilion on the night Liu Xunyi stabbed me?"
Just this word, Qin Wei's heart panicked, and he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit. He could hear Lord Qian's voice, and he also knew that what Lord Qian really wanted to ask was not what happened to Tianji Pavilion, but Bai Jin, who died tragically in Tianji Pavilion.
After all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and Lord Qian is not hard-hearted. Bai Jin has followed him for many years, has been dedicated to his heart, and is loyal, but now he is suddenly in trouble, and he has a great impact on Lord Qian in public and private.
"It's because I didn't think about it and neglected to take precautions, so Liu Xunyi ...... A loophole to exploit. ”
"You're just negligent in taking precautions?" Lord Qian raised his eyebrows, as if he was suspicious.
"Yes...... No, it's not ......" Qin Wei was first vague under the scrutiny of Lord Qian, and then hurriedly changed his words, "I admit that when I faced Liu Xunyi that night...... really cares about the old feelings, and can't bear to fight with him. Unexpectedly, Lord Bai was jealous and hateful, and refused to listen to my persuasion at all, and rashly attacked Liu Xunyi...... Unfortunately, although Lord Bai is very skilled, he is ...... compared to Liu Xunyi The gap is far away. Therefore, before I could help, Liu Xunyi had already killed Lord Bai with a thunderous force. The fault lies with me, and I can't quibble, and I don't dare to quibble......"
In fact, this explanation was said to Master Qian as early as the night Bai Jin died. It's just that Lord Qian has always been obsessed with Bai Jin's death, so he asked for details again and again.
"Bai Jin's temperament is well known, and he died of impulsiveness and recklessness...... Can't blame you. At the mention of Bai Jin, Lord Qian's eyes couldn't help but become a little gloomy, and a long sigh came out of his mouth, and he said, "Since you can't bear to make a move on Liu Xunyi, why did you stab him again in the end?"
Hearing this, Qin Wei's trembling eyes suddenly froze, and he said word by word: "In my heart, Liu Xunyi is a brother who is like a brother, and an adult is a father and mother who is recreated by Entong. As for which is more important between my father and my brother, I used to be capricious and couldn't figure it out, but on the night ten days ago, when I saw Liu Xunyi wanting to kill adults...... I found the answer. ”
Today, Liu Xunyi seems to have become a "hidden disease" in Qin Wei's heart. Every time I mention it, my heart throbs uncontrollably.
"Qin Wei, you can show no favoritism in the face of major rights and wrongs, this official is deeply grateful. Master Qian seemed to be quite satisfied with Qin Wei's answer, and said meaningfully: "People are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless......?" It's hard for you. ”
"Your Excellency!"
Seeing that Lord Qian was shocked and sad, and was sighing for Bai Jin's death, Qin Wei hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, knelt in front of Lord Qian with a "poof", and swore solemnly: "Although Bai Jin is gone, Qin Wei will always stay by the side of the adult, leading the horse and kicking for the adult, and charging into battle." If the adults do not dislike the despicable background and weak ability, dare to ask the adults to take me by their side and be a slave. Although I don't have the wisdom to strategize, nor do I have the ability to subdue the tiger and subdue the dragon, I have a brave and loyal heart that has never regretted nine deaths, and I am willing to serve the adults for the rest of my life!"
"What is this?" Lord Qian pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Qin Wei up, "Now you are an upright third-grade master, and you are only one step away from this official, how dare I take you as a slave?"
"Whether it's three or four grades, it's all thanks to adults. If there is no adult to lift him, Qin Wei is just a dou who can't be helped. Qin Wei said humbly, "I beg your lord to admit me to the West Mansion, I would rather be a low-grade official in the Privy Council than stay in the East Mansion to be a third-grade official." As long as you can be by your side and serve your life, it's worth doing anything!"
Hugh looked at what Qin Wei said, but in fact, he was by no means a person who was willing to be poor and kept his will, and the reason why he wanted to go to Xifu to be a small official was to show his attitude to Lord Qian and please his old man. Both are to satisfy their own greater ambitions.
What Qin Wei is really attached to is not Lord Qian, but the power in the hands of Lord Qian. He recommended himself to serve in Xifu, and what he coveted was the real power of Xifu far better than Dongfu.
After all, most of the Dongfu are powerless ministers, and there is still some power in the peaceful and prosperous times, but it is difficult to do much in the troubled times. What's more, Dongfu has just experienced a turmoil, from the prime minister to the small officials, all of them have been cut by the emperor, even if a person like Lord Jia is only superficial now, but in fact, the foundation is unstable and has no power to use.
What's more, in the Dongfu of "dancing and writing", people who are born in martial arts have no room to display at all, and Qin Weiguan is already "at the end of the road" from Tianji Marquis. Further up, the second-rank members or even the first-rank ministers must be the protégés of the Son of Heaven, the champion and the first. With this section alone, Qin Wei, who has been dancing with knives and guns since childhood, has little hope of promotion in this life.
As for the three-grade "Tianji Hou", it sounds like a show of power, but in fact, it is in vain, and it can only control the small Tianji Pavilion. Like Zhao Yuan's embarrassment in the past, after walking out of Tianji Pavilion, the power in his hands was even inferior to that of a magistrate.
In terms of real power alone, the "three products" of the East Mansion are far inferior to the "three products" of the West Mansion, and Qin Wei is even inferior to the white brocade of the past.
However, the situation in Saifu is quite different. Xifu is the territory of military attachés, and even if Qin Wei does not rely on Lord Qian, he can thrive with his own martial arts. Now, coupled with the cultivation and promotion of Lord Qian, the future will inevitably be bright.
The most important thing is that the building near the water is the first to get the month. Three or five years later, he is very likely to succeed the elderly Lord Qian and become the privy deputy envoy with real power, and even become the privy envoy in charge of the Great Song Dynasty.
At that time, Qin Wei will really be under one person and above ten thousand.
Therefore, in order to realize his greater ambition and win a better future, Qin Wei decided to take advantage of Bai Jin's death and the urgent need for employment of people.
