Chapter 196 It’s important for people to know themselves
After Ye Hongxia left, Ye Wuyi finished his lunch alone and took a nap. Seeing that it was almost time for the palace banquet, he went to find Nie Youren to brag.
As soon as they met, Nie Youren congratulated Ye Wuwei: "Commander Ye, please take care of me in the future."
Ye Wuwei raised his eyebrows:
"The Qi'an Department approved it so quickly? I thought we had to wait until after the Spring Festival."
"How did you come up with the idea of establishing the Qi'an Department?"
Ye Wuwei couldn't say that he was inspired by a certain bureau or Jinyiwei in the modern country, so he just said:
"The main thing is that I'm not good at governing a country or fighting wars. The only thing I have is intelligence gathering and analysis. That's why I want to establish the Qi'an Department to help Your Majesty relieve his worries."
"You're being too modest."
“That’s not modesty.
If I were good at marching and fighting, I would set up a Privy Council or a Grand Military Governor's Office for fun."
"What do the Privy Council and the Grand Governor's Office do?"
"They are both the highest institutions that control the imperial court's military."
"Then it suits you too."
“This isn’t me being modest.
When it comes to marching and fighting, let alone comparing myself with Your Majesty, I may not even be able to beat Yao Guangzhi.
What's more, Your Majesty has generals such as General Yuchi, General Zhang, and General Chen who are capable of fighting.
If I, an amateur, were to instruct them in battle, not only would they not be convinced, but it would also significantly weaken the Qi Dynasty's military power."
It is just like a certain dynasty that valued civil officials over military affairs and sent civil officials to the battlefield to command wars, which eventually led to foreign invaders invading the south and the destruction of the country and the dynasty.
Seeing Ye Wuwei say this, Nie Youren looked up to him even more.
Ye Wuwei is deeply favored by His Majesty, but he is not arrogant at all. Instead, he is very self-aware.
This is very rare!
It is natural for a person to feel "arrogant" because of being "favored", unless he often reflects on himself.
However, "being strict with oneself and lenient with others" is just a beautiful wish, and more people are "lenient with oneself and harsh with others."
Nie Youren approached Ye Wuwei and said:
"Since you said so, Brother Ye, I am not afraid to tell you:
Actually, I'm not very good at leading troops in battle. I'm far behind General Yuchi, General Zhang, and General Chen."
"So, Brother Nie, you are truly smart. I think no one is more suitable than you to be the commander of the Imperial Guard."
Nie Youren was very pleased to hear this because he felt the same way.
The two chatted about other gossips until someone announced that the palace banquet was about to begin, and then they went to Liangyi Hall.
Coincidentally, Ye Wuwei's seat was next to Nie Youren's.
Ye Wuwei smiled and said to Nie Youren:
"I'm afraid Xiao Dengzi knew we got along well and deliberately arranged us together."
After the two arrived, some lower-ranking officials came over to congratulate Ye Wuwei.
Ye Wuwei's attitude was very kind:
"I'm afraid that His Majesty saw that I had nothing to do and deliberately found some things for me to do. I hope you will support me in the future."
Who dares not to support?
Few officials in the court are clean. Although showing goodwill to Ye Wuwei may not be useful, it is better to show goodwill to Ye Wuwei in advance than to cram at the last minute when something really happens.
……
After a long period of socializing, Ye Wuwei saw Shui Changqing arriving.
Ye Wuwei said to Nie Youren, "I'm going to pick someone up and introduce him to you later."
Nie Youren also saw Shui Changqing, and thinking about how Shui Changqing had looked for Ye Wuwei several times before, he had some guesses in his mind.
Ye Wuwei stepped forward to greet Shui Changqing, "Master."
Shui Changqing was entertaining some people from aristocratic families. When he saw Ye Wuwei coming over, he said to them:
"I'm sure you all know Commander Ye. He's my only disciple."
The people of the noble family were shocked:
When did Ye Wuwei become the Shui family's only disciple? Why had they never heard of it?
The head of the Shui family has no children, but he accepted Ye Wuwei as his only disciple. What does this mean?
Ye Wuwei is your Majesty's confidant. Does this mean that the head of the Shui family has surrendered to your Majesty?
If this is true, then the structure of the family needs to be re-evaluated.
Ye Wuwei didn't care what the people from the noble families thought. He greeted them with a smile and said to Shui Changqing:
"Let me introduce you to the officials from Andu."
"it is good."
Ye Wuwei brought Shui Changqing to Nie Youren first:
"Master, this is Commander Nie of the Imperial Guard. Commander Nie is my good friend.
Brother Nie, this is my master, the head of the Shui clan."
Nie Youren was a little surprised to hear Ye Wuwei say this.
He knew that Ye Wuwei and Nie Youren were connected, but he didn't expect that the head of the Shui family was Ye Wuwei's master.
From now on, we can no longer treat the head of the Shui family as an ordinary head of the family.
Next, Ye Wuwei took Shui Changqing to meet He Changsong, Qi Cheng and others.
We are all officials and know how to handle basic social interactions. No matter what we think in our hearts, we all appear to be in a harmonious mood.
Finally, Ye Wuwei brought Shui Changqing to Hu Zhiwei.
When he saw Shui Changqing, Hu Zhiwei quickly stood up and saluted.
Shui Changqing is not only the head of the Shui family, but also his immediate superior in the future. He must not be offended.
"Master, this is Hu Du Yushi.
Hu Du Yushi, this is my master."
Hu Zhiwei was also surprised when Ye Wuwei became Shui Changqing's apprentice, but the two behaved close and naturally, which clearly showed that their relationship was more than just an ordinary master-disciple relationship.
Hu Zhiwei hurriedly asked how Shui Changqing was.
"Master, Hu Du Yushi is my friend. If there is any profitable business, take him with you."
Shui Changqing thought for a moment and said to Hu Zhiwei, "When you have time, come to Shuifu to find me and we can talk in detail."
Hu Zhiwei was very happy. The Shui family's medicinal materials business had high profits. With the head of the Shui family leading the business, he didn't have to worry about not making money.
This is more real than his promotion!
Hu Zhichuan agreed and thanked Ye Wuwei: "Thank you, Commander Ye."
Shui Changqing also did not forget to make Ye Wuwei feel more present:
"Wu Wei is my only disciple, and the bond between us is naturally different from that of ordinary people. I will always listen to what he says."
At this time, Chu Fuchi came in.
Chu Fuchi took the initiative to walk towards Shui Changqing, "Master Shui."
Chu Fuchi looked at Shui Changqing calmly.
Although the Shui Changqing in front of him looked the same as before, he felt like a different person.
The Shui Changqing before gave people a gloomy feeling, but the Shui Changqing in front of him was bright and clear.
No wonder Ye Wuwei recognized him as his master.
But how could a person change so much? What was going on?
Even if he had doubts in his heart, Chu Fuchi, known as the "fox", would not show the slightest bit.
Shui Changqing accepted Chu Fuchi's scrutiny calmly.
Even if Chu Fuchi had doubts in his heart, so what? As long as he behaved properly, one day Chu Fuchi would accept him.
General Qi, Imperial Tutor Zhuang, and Imperial Preceptor Yuwen also arrived. Seeing Shui Changqing and Ye Wuwei being so affectionate, they were very confused.
Then, Qi Wushuang arrived.
After Qi Wushuang entered the hall, the first thing he looked for was Ye Wuwei.
Seeing that Ye Wuwei was at ease, Qi Wu and the other party withdrew their gaze and sat down in the main seat.
