Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 449: Isn’t it enough for you to protect me?

It really is effortless to talk to smart people.

Before I even said what it was, the other party had already guessed it.

After hearing Xu Ming's invitation, Yu Ping'an did not agree immediately, but touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

If the other party really needed his help and wanted him to repay a favor, Yu Ping'an would definitely join the Jinyiwei without hesitation.

But the problem is, being in danger is not a big deal, the main thing is that I am afraid of harming the people around me.

When the other party was silent, Xu Ming continued: "Although this position can be said to be high and powerful, and can directly enter His Majesty's sight and gain His Majesty's favor.

But this position is not easy. On the contrary, it is easy to offend people.

After all, what the Jinyiwei did were basically things that offended people.

If we have to mention the benefits, if Brother Yu comes out of the Jinyi Mansion, it should be of great help in his future promotion.

No matter what, we, the Jinyiwei, are directly responsible to His Majesty.

His Majesty must be able to see your talent, Brother Yu.

Even if I leave the Jinyiwei at that time, His Majesty will definitely entrust me with important tasks.

So I hope Brother Yu can consider my invitation carefully."

Yu Pingan nodded.

Just as Xu Ming said.

The deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is an official of the fourth rank and holds real power.

In comparison, his position in the Hanlin Academy was just a sinecure.

Putting aside the fact that I want to repay Brother Xu, let's analyze it objectively.

If I agree to Brother Xu's suggestion, I can jump from a sinecure in the Hanlin Academy to a fourth-rank minister with real power.

It can be said that I have saved at least ten years of walking.

Moreover, even 10 years is a bit conservative. There are many officials who have not yet reached the fourth rank in more than 10 years.

Moreover, the Jinyiwei are only loyal to His Majesty, so as long as you don't show any ulterior motives, there is a high probability that you will become His Majesty's confidant.

Just as Brother Xu said, by that time, even if I don't work in the Jinyi Palace, I will still be able to be used by His Majesty.

Of course, one thing is certain, that is, everything has two sides.

Nowadays, if you join the Jinyiwei and live in the Jinyi Mansion, you will basically be hostile to the court officials.

Moreover, the Jinyiwei will offend many people if they investigate all officials and kings and princes.

When you offend others, they will hate you.

If others bear a grudge against you, you will be in danger.

Therefore, he continued to hold a sinecure in the Hanlin Academy according to the routine, waiting for a position to become available so that he could fill the vacancy.

Or should I take a risk and go straight up the stairs?

"Brother Yu, you don't need to give me an answer right away. Once you have thought it through, you can come to the Jinyiwei Commander's residence to find me at any time."

Seeing Yu Ping'an's hesitation, Xu Ming felt that this was the normal reaction of a smart person.

If they were those people who were obsessed with power, they would probably agree immediately if I invited them.

It would be very troublesome for such people to enter the Jinyiwei. Although it is inevitable that such people will enter the Jinyiwei, it is also inevitable that some people will be gradually corrupted by power and interests after entering the Jinyiwei.

But what I can do is to reduce the number of such people and make them corrupt more slowly, that's all.

"Okay, Brother Xu." Yu Ping'an nodded, "I do need to think about this matter."

"Of course." Xu Ming nodded, indicating that he understood. "I also hope that Brother Yu can make this choice on his own. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you for now."

"I'll see Brother Xu off."

Yu Ping'an limped as Xu Ming walked out of the courtyard.

After Xu Ming disappeared around the corner of the street, Yu Ping'an returned to the courtyard, sat on a stone bench, and drank hot tea while thinking.

Not long after, Chen Ping walked out of the room.

"Has Mr. Xu gone back?" Chen Ping asked.

Yu Pingan nodded: "Let's go back."

Chen Ping sat next to Yu Ping'an, tidying up the tea set, and asked Yu Ping'an: "What did you talk about with this Lord Xu?"

Yu Pingan smiled and said, "I thanked Mr. Xu. After all, he helped me get revenge. I will definitely remember this favor."

"Yeah." Chen Ping nodded. "We should thank them. Otherwise, we don't know how many years it would take for the two of us to take revenge."

Yu Pingan looked at the grown-up freckled girl and said, "Pingping, what kind of person do you think Commander Xu is?"

"The number one scholar." Chen Ping thought for a moment, stretched out her legs, rested her heels on the ground, and swayed her toes gently. "I feel that the number one scholar is different from other officials."

Yu Pingan smiled and said, "Then tell me, how is it different?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Some other officials gave me a very annoying feeling. Except for Prime Minister Xiao, most people gave me the feeling that they were high and mighty, just like the officials in the county town where I used to live.

In the eyes of such people, there are only interests and their own official positions, not the people. Nothing can compare to their progress.

But this top scholar gives people a very gentle feeling, like a spring breeze.

And he seemed very stable. He stood there like a mountain.

Of course, the top scholar is also good-looking. "

Yu Pingan tapped her head and said with a smile, "The most important thing is the last point, right?"

Chen Ping stuck out her tongue: "Anyway, the top scholar is better looking than you~"

"I didn't say I'm prettier than Brother Xu." Yu Ping'an shook his head, and then a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. "Yes, the champion is a very good person, that's it. I don't know whether I should agree to the champion."

Chen Ping asked in confusion: "Promise what?"

Yu Pingan took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Xu promised me an official position. This position is not small, but it will be dangerous. Brother Xu told me not to consider the favor and to make my own judgment."

Chen Ping tilted her head: "What's your judgment?"

"This official position is indeed the fastest way for me to step into the court, and this official position is high and powerful, but it will be dangerous." Yu Ping'an looked at Chen Ping, "If it's just me who is in danger, it won't matter, but I'm worried that you are in danger too."

"Fool," the girl stood up, "No matter how dangerous the situation is, we have come here. If you want to do it, do it. As for me, please do it."

The girl's eyes curved: "Isn't it enough for you to protect me?"

Yu Pingan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right."
