It's just that Qian Buli wasn't his direct descendant, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten together with Ye Mingsheng, a group of children from a poor family.
As for whether Qian Buli was the concubine's concubine, or simply the child of a maid, Ye Mingsheng did not inquire carefully. After all, he did not care about this matter at the time, and investigating others too carefully could easily offend people.
However, Ye Mingsheng still knew about the Qian family where Qian Buli belonged to. The Qian family was not considered a high-ranking surname among the wealthy families in Dazhou.
It's just that for generations of the Qian family, people have served in the Imperial College, and a considerable number of officials in the court came from the Imperial College.
Therefore, the Qian family is not well-known in the Great Zhou Dynasty and does not seem to have much influence. However, in fact, their family connections are quite good. The current head of the Qian family, Qian Qianye, has served as the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites since Emperor Jing, and is a member of the imperial court. From a third-grade official, he can be called a roly-poly in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In addition, for this person who has money, although he doesn’t have much money on weekdays, he invites less when we treat each other, and he is not a person who helps his friends, but he has a pretty good character. Ye Mingsheng helped The matter of Lin Huaiwu being promoted to captain was entrusted to his connections, and he was quite reliable in doing things.
Although I don't know how much energy Qian Buli, the bastard of the Qian family, has and whether he can help him.
But this is more or less a path. Let's see if there is an opportunity. Through his guidance and recommendation, the blind cat meets the dead mouse, gets on the line of the senior officials of the Ministry of War, and operates it to Zhenwu Army on his own.
Fang Jing and Qian Buli are the only two people Ye Mingsheng can think of who may be able to help him based on his connections and thinking. As for other fair-weather friends, Ye Mingsheng doesn't see any hope. Can help myself.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but sigh. In today's officialdom in Dazhou, it is really difficult to get promoted. First of all, it depends on one's origin and background, and the rest depends on money and path...
People like him who come from a poor family can only cross the river by feeling the stones. Even if they go through a lot of hard work and get the money, they still don't know who they are using it on.
He would like to visit directly, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Left and Right, but such a big boss in the court is not something he, a seventh-grade commander of the imperial army, can meet upon meeting. Without anyone else's recommendation, he will just go with the money. I'm afraid he won't even You can't even enter the main entrance of the mansion.

"Cai Pengbo asked Ye Mingsheng to run away?"
In Liu Jing's mansion, the furious Xu Zhaojie, with a fierce light in his eyes, asked fiercely to Dong Chunyu in front of him:
Seeing Xu Zhaojie with such a terrifying appearance, Dong Chunyu, who was holding the secret letter sent by Cai Pengbo and telling the story, was immediately shocked, swallowed, and whispered: "Cai Pengbo wrote this..." ········”
"Trash! A bunch of trash! I gave him three thousand people, is this how he repays my trust in him?" Xu Zhaojie picked up the paperweight on the desk and threw it on the ground.
"boom!"
With just a crisp sound, this valuable jade paperweight was smashed into pieces. Xu Zhaojie, who had been gradually drained by alcohol and sex over the years, swayed and fell onto the Taishi chair because of his anger.
Seeing that he was angry, Dong Chunyu did not dare to say a word, and stood quietly with his body hunched, for fear that Xu Zhaojie would vent his anger on him.
After a cup of tea, the anger in Xu Zhaojie's heart subsided and he returned to a rational state. He closed his eyes and said bitterly: "What did Cai Pengbo say in the letter?"
After hearing Xu Zhaojie's inquiry, Dong Chunyu dared to continue speaking: "Cai Pengbo said that the Black Dragon Society's people were too weak in combat. They were defeated by Ye Mingsheng in just one hour. When he personally led a thousand cavalry, he arrived When they arrived at Luwang Town and were about to intervene in the battle, Ye Mingsheng had already occupied the entire Luwang Town and put on a posture of being destroyed together, so in order not to cause trouble to the master... ·He went back..."
"Humph! Don't you want to cause trouble to me? I think he is scared!" Xu Zhaojie snorted coldly and said with great dissatisfaction:
Quietly taking a look at Xu Zhaojie's expression, seeing that he seemed to be dead, the anger in his heart calmed down, and then Dong Chunyu said hesitantly:
"Sir, Ye Mingsheng is just a small seventh-grade commander, and he is still serving under you. Why should you care... Even if it doesn't work this time, when the master returns to the court and returns to the Great Zhou Dynasty, you can do whatever you want. You can kill him!"
After hearing Dong Chunyu's advice, although Xu Zhaojie said nothing, the look of dissatisfaction on his face was reduced a lot. Seeing him like this, Dong Chunyu continued to strike while the iron was hot and continued:
"Everyone knows that Commander Cai is your favorite general. If Commander Cai is severely punished because of this incident, I am afraid that everyone in the army will be in danger!"
After Dong Chunyu finished speaking, Xu Zhaojie's eyes shifted to him and said coldly: "Cai Pengbo, how much money did I give you to say good things for him like this?"
Upon hearing what Xu Zhaojie said, Dong Chunyu panicked and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing as if pounding garlic and said: "Master, what I said is from the bottom of my heart, and it is all for your own good. If I accept Cai Pengbo's money, I will be punished that day." If you are struck with five thunderbolts, you will not die a good death!"
Seeing Dong Chunyu swearing like this, Xu Zhaojie just looked at him deeply and waved his hand to signal Dong Chunyu to stand up. He was not particularly concerned about whether Dong Chunyu had collected Cai Pengbo's money or not.
It has been very hard for Dong Chunyu to follow him in the past few years, so Xu Zhaojie didn't pay much attention to some of his small actions in daily life.
In addition, he did not intend to severely punish Cai Pengbo. The situation in the palace capital was initially calm, but it was just calm on the surface. In fact, there were still undercurrents and a mixture of forces from all sides. Cai Pengbo, the loyal man, was needed. When his subordinates worked hard for him and died, as the Marquis of Zhenyuan and one of the representatives of the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he, Xu Zhaojie, would definitely not lose his limbs because of small things, and cut off his limbs at this time... ·
Therefore, it was just his intention to give Dong Chunyu a warning, so that he should not cross the line and get too close to Cai Pengbo and others.
