After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 189 Aren’t you afraid that he will treat you as a monster?

Listening to Ye Wuyi telling the story of the two of them one by one, Shui Changqing said:

"Originally I didn't want to get involved in the court, but since you've decided to stay with Qi Wushuang, I'll also seek a position in the court so I can help you guys."

"Master, do you have a position you're interested in?"

Shui Changqing said, "I want to be the Chief Censor of the Censorate."

Ye Wuwei thought for a moment:

"If Master were to become the Chief Censor of the Censorate, it would indeed be of great help to Wushuang. However, the current Chief Censor of the Censorate is under the command of Grand Tutor Zhuang. Which department do you think would be the best place to transfer him?"

The Censorate was a supervisory department directly under the emperor, with main responsibilities including supervision, impeachment and making recommendations.

However, the Censorate is currently controlled by the people of Grand Tutor Zhuang and Grand Tutor Yuwen, and is not playing its due role in the court.

"I heard some time ago that the father of the Chief Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate was seriously ill, and I think there will be news in the next few days.

According to the rules, he needs to observe mourning for three years."

"That would be great if it were this way. Master could take over the position of Chief Censor of the Upper Censorate without making a fuss.

And as the head of the Shui family, you hold the position of Chief Censor of the Censorate, and no one can say anything wrong with that."

"Well, what about you? What do you think?"

"Wushuang has an intelligence network that was originally managed by Chu Fuchi. Now that Chu Fuchi can't handle it, Wushuang is planning to let me take over.

I want to establish an organization similar to the Imperial Guards."

Shui Changqing was shocked again: "The Jinyiwei has a bad reputation."

"The reputation of any organization is related to its actions. The reason why the Jinyiwei's reputation was damaged was that they persecuted loyal officials, eliminated dissidents, violated the law, and abused their power.

But it is also undeniable that the Jinyiwei played a significant role in the stability and centralization of imperial power.

What Wushuang needs most now is to consolidate the imperial power."

"But no matter what, the Jinyiwei is a secret service agency. No secret service agency in any dynasty has been notorious in the end.

For example, a certain Tong, a certain Tong, and a certain No. 6."

"But intelligence agencies are indispensable in every dynasty, aren't they?"

Shui Changqing's words were blocked.

"Master, let's analyze the pros and cons of intelligence agencies throughout history, so we can prevent them from having too much power while ensuring they can be controlled.

At least in my hands it won't develop into a notorious spy agency.

As for the future, who knows how it will develop?"

Shui Changqing was gradually persuaded by Ye Wuwei and began to think about the feasibility.

After a while, Shui Changqing said:

"Even if a similar agency were to be established, it would only be focused on gathering intelligence, and interrogation and punishment methods would have to be controlled, not resorting to torture to extract confessions.

And the name can’t be Jinyiwei, I feel disgusted.”

"Okay, whatever you say, Master."

"You little bastard, it was clearly your idea, but now you're putting the blame on me."

The master and apprentice began to seriously discuss the organizational structure, functions, powers, staffing, etc.

Finally, the master and apprentice named the new organization: "Qi'an Department".

It means: the department that protects the safety of Qi Dynasty.

The Qi'an Department was also subject to supervision and impeachment by the Censorate.

……

Ye Wuwei and Shui Changqing had lunch together.

While eating, Shui Changqing told Ye Wuyi something:

Grand Tutor Yuwen once had a secret talk with Shui Changqing, wanting to unite the Shui clan and Mu Yiyang, connect Yuncheng, Huishui, Nanling and Fengdu, and make the entire south a small country.

"But Shui Changqing didn't agree at the time and just said he would think about it first.

Not long after Master Yuwen found Shui Changqing, he took my place. I stayed in bed for a month and he didn't come to see me during that month.

After I recovered from my illness, Master Yuwen sent me several more messages wanting to see me, but I found excuses to refuse.

I think he already knew at this time that I would not cooperate with him.

Especially if he sees me and you interacting closely, he will think that the Shui family has chosen Qi Wushuang."

Ye Wuyi has always known Master Yuwen’s ambition. His previous target was Chamdo, but now that he sees that Chamdo is hopeless, it is not surprising that he would think of other ways.

Yuncheng is the medicinal materials base of the Shui family. It is normal for Master Yuwen to approach Shui Changqing, but how could Mu Yiyang agree to Master Yuwen?

Ye Wuwei asked his doubts.

"You do not know?"

"what do you know?"

"Mu Yiyang has taken a fancy to Yuwen Qian, but Grand Tutor Yuwen's condition is that after helping Mu Yiyang become the chieftain of Nanling, Mu Yiyang must side with the Yuwen family.

Only after Mu Yiyang agreed did the Yuwen family marry Yuwen Qian to Mu Yiyang."

"You said Yuwen Qian married into Nanling?"

"Yes."

"She will?"

"How can it be her turn whether she is willing or not for such a thing?

Not only her, but her parents probably have little say in the matter."

Ye Wuwei said something unfavorable.

Did Princess Renshou want to marry into Nanling back then? But didn't she marry in the end?

Ye Wuwei only said:

"Master, that's why the intelligence department still needs to exist. I was away from Chamdo for a while and didn't know about such a big event."

"Since you said Qi Wushuang has an intelligence organization under his command, he should have known about the conspiracy between Yuwen Taishi, Qianshui Changqing, and Mu Yiyang."

"I'll go back and ask him."

"You two are together every day, and he didn't tell you about this?"

Ye Wuwei's face flushed again: "I guess he forgot."

When the two of them were together, they were only concerned with playing hooligans. How could they have time to talk about things that happened so long ago?

"Then how did you explain our relationship to him?"

Ye Wuwei talked about "resurrection" again.

Shui Changqing sneered: "You trust him, and you're not afraid that he will treat you as a monster."

"In fact, he should have suspected it a long time ago, but he just didn't dare to ask me.

So yesterday when I explained that you weren't the same person you were before, he asked me directly if I was also a resurrected spirit."

"Indeed, your behavior and knowledge are clearly not what Qi Chao possesses. If you don't doubt him, then you're not Qi Wushuang.

When you told him your true identity yesterday, weren't you a little nervous? "

"It would be a lie to say I wasn't a little nervous, but I was also pretty sure he wouldn't mind."

After hearing what Ye Wuwei said, Shui Changqing didn't ask any more questions.

……

Before leaving, Shui Changqing pointed to a rectangular red sandalwood box in the room and said:

"There's gold in here. You can use it first. You can't always use Qi Wushuang's money."

Ye Wuwei said with a playful smile:

"I know that Master has the most money these days, so I would be very sorry to refuse."

Shui Changqing laughed and scolded:

"You're still as shameless as before.

In the past, every time you came to our house for dinner, you would always take some good cigarettes and wine with you when you left."

"Isn't that Master, you don't smoke or drink?"

"You don't smoke either, so why did you take the cigarettes away?"

"Of course, it's for our fellow smokers. We have to support our parents and children with our meager wages, so how can we afford to buy good cigarettes?"

"That's true."

Shui Changqing sighed:

"Your job is extremely dangerous. You could lose your life at any time. Anyone with a good family background wouldn't want to join the special forces."

Yes, only those who come from poor families will join the special forces for the relatively good salary and benefits.

Ye Wuwei was an exception back then.

His grades have always been excellent, and it would have been no problem for him to get into a 985 university. If he hadn't wanted to fulfill his father's unfulfilled wish, he would not have chosen to apply to the police academy and then join the special forces.
