"Your proposal is not unfeasible, but do you really think you can withstand the pressure of all the officials in the court?"
Wu Zhongxian looked at Si Changqing in front of him and knew that what the old man really wanted to ask was how could he prove that Wu Zhongxian had the strength to protect Si Jinglan and the Si family in the future.
After all, there is a difference between subordinates and marriage. If Wu Zhongxian accepts this marriage, not only Si Changqing will be able to pave the way for young people like them in the remaining years.
The most critical point is to send a signal to the empress that Si Changqing will never be able to stand by the empress again in this life. He has long been firmly bound to the interests of the officials.
But as long as Si Changqing drives Hexi, the only person in the Si family who can talk is Wu Zhongxian!
When the time comes, Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want, and no one can stop you.
This Si Changqing is guaranteeing to the empress that as long as he goes west, no one in the Si family or the court can inherit the mantle of his right minister.
The grudges between Si Changqing and His Majesty's generation will be settled by Si Changqing's death.
This is the path Si Changqing chose, to die as a martyr.
Worthy of his legendary and wonderful life, Wu Zhongxian couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm not talented as a junior. Although I only have a job as a martial artist, if I really want to protect someone, even if the world collapses and the whole world collapses, I won't let anyone hurt them at all."
"Even if His Majesty goes there in person, I, Wu Zhongxian, have promised."
"Unchanged until death."
Wu Zhongxian paid deep respect to the old man in front of him, the right-hand minister of three generations of emperors in the imperial court, and the senior who had made his ambition clear through death. He sincerely bent down to pay homage to a junior.
Si Changqing's eyes wandered between Wu Zhongxian and Si Jinglan, and finally sighed softly: "That's all, you all have your own thoughts, so I won't get involved in the affairs of you young people, alas!
"
He, the dignified Prime Minister, has no dignity in front of these juniors. No one can obey his arrangements with peace of mind. No one can really make people worry!
"Let's go Qianyun, it seems like this old guy like me is no longer needed here, let's go home." Si Changqing said and walked out without looking back.
"But...daddy's cousin...this?" Si Qianyun suddenly turned around and was at a loss for a moment, until she saw her father walking outside the door without looking back.
Only then did he come to his senses, said goodbye to Si Jinglan, and hurriedly chased out the door.
Before leaving, this girl did not forget to send a message to Wu Zhongxian: "Bad guy, don't forget the promise you made to my father! You must get my cousin! I believe you, come on!"
Wu Zhongxian smiled softly when he heard this. Is there any little white rabbit in the world that could escape from him? Then he turned to Si Jinglan and asked: "What do you think about my proposal?"
The reason why Si Changqing left was to leave all the choices to Si Jinglan. As long as she agreed to cooperate with Wu Zhongxian, he, the leader of the Si family, would stand with Wu Zhongxian.
The cooperation proposed by Wu Zhongxian seems to be free prostitution, as if nothing has been paid.
But in fact, the real key to the cooperation is that as long as Wu Zhongxian accepts Si Jinglan, he will have to represent the entire Si family to confront the officials in the court, and he will also have to mediate with the empress.
Therefore, Si Changqing could not understand Wu Zhongxian more and more. Only today did he realize that this man wanted more than just becoming a close confidant of the empress, so he finally chose to turn around and leave without saying a word.
The affairs of young people must be left to young people.
"How can you prove that your strength is worthy of our family's trust?" Si Jinglan asked.
"There is no proof for what you say. In that case, why not come with me and see for yourself if I am capable." Wu Zhongxian said with a smile.
"What's more, I have legs on you. If you feel that I am not worthy of you to seek advice for me, then you can leave whenever you want. Presumably, with the power of your Si family in the court, it will be easy for me to seek revenge."
"Working for you and protecting the Si family are two different things." Si Jinglan said with a cold expression.
"Indeed, but you have to understand that the relationship between you and me is just a cooperative relationship." Wu Zhongxian looked at Si Jinglan calmly.
As he said, what he wanted was an assistant minister who was willing to plan for him. As for the big family and the court forces behind the right minister, he had no interest at all.
Wu Zhongxian knew very well that one day he would leave Daqin.
The only people in the entire Si family that Wu Zhongxian really cares about are Si Qianyun and Si Jinglan.
One is an acquaintance of his, Guan Bao, and the other is Wang Zuo, a great talent with natural talents.
"Are you admitting that what you just said was a lie to deceive our family?" Si Jinglan's face suddenly turned cold, as if she was about to have an attack.
Wu Zhongxian showed no fear and said with the same expression: "The only person who can save your Si family is your Si family. You should be clear on this point."
Si Jinglan's face turned slightly when he heard this. It was true that as Wu Zhongxian said, he could help the Si family once or twice, but there would always be times when help could not be reached. But if the Si family still couldn't take charge alone, the only outcome would be destruction.
"What matters in business is reasonable price." Wu Zhong looked at Si Jinglan deeply and said, "How much do you think I am worth my investment now?"
If Si Jinglan had heard Wu Zhongxian's words before, he would have shown contempt and disdain. What qualifications do you, a small Jianghu Secretary, have to ask me what I'm worth?
But after the conversation between Si Changqing and Wu Zhongxian, she knew that the man in front of her was by no means as simple as the great director of Jianghu.
"What do you think?" Si Jinglan asked proudly.
Si Jinglan looked directly at Wu Zhongxian with heroic eyebrows. Even if she understood these truths, she still had her own pride and was still the Si Jinglan who dared to put herself in the abyss for the Si family.
"How about this, you stay with me first, and I will train you well during this period. If you feel that I am not worthy of your assistance, or that I do not have this ability at all."
"I'm still saying the same thing, you can leave at any time if your legs are on you, how about it?" Wu Zhongxian chuckled.
Si Jinglan re-examined Wu Zhongxian in front of her and made a secret decision in her heart.
Wu Zhongxian was not in a hurry, after all, behind this girl was the entire Si family, and she was not allowed to make a decision easily.
Moreover, Wu Zhongxian felt that with Si Jinglan's arrogant personality like a lonely plum blossom in the cold winter, if he threatened her to stay with him on the pretext of saving the Si family, she would definitely not accept it.
In her heart, she always believed that the Si family could only be saved by her!
"Okay, if you are truly a liar, I, Si Jinglan, will not let you off lightly!" Si Jinglan gave her own decision after thinking for a moment.
When Wu Zhongxian heard this, he felt happy! Another outstanding person!
If this rate continues, Da Qin's talents will be emptied by itself sooner or later...
If the empress knew this, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood...
In fact, what Wu Zhongxian still doesn't know is that in the heart of the empress, he has long been marked by the empress as her own...
