Xun Ke's two questions can be said to hit the point directly, making everyone's eyes light up, and they all talked about it:
"Let me tell you, this Ye Mingsheng is not blind, how could he not see Master He's ability?"
"Master He is not afraid of the bitter cold and comes to Liaoyang with Ye Mingsheng? Don't you reciprocate the favor?"
"Master He's ability in training soldiers is unparalleled in the world!"
············
············
He Jingyun, who had been silent at this time, coughed lightly, and then said calmly:
"I have already made suggestions to Ye Mingsheng to arrange your official positions. I believe Ye Mingsheng will give you a reply soon!"
After hearing what He Jingyun said, everyone who regained their confidence stood up with joy, bowed to He Jingyun, and said in unison:
"Thank you for your cultivation, sir!"
After such an episode, the dinner organized by He Jingyun once again returned to the joyful scene of drinking and changing glasses. It was another hour before everyone said goodbye and left.
However, what surprised He Jingyun was that Xun Ke, who had already left, came back again.
Looking at Xun Ke who had left and returned, a smile appeared on He Jingyun's face. Among his old subordinates, Xun Ke was ranked second to last if not the last in terms of personal bravery, but in terms of resourcefulness, Xun Ke was ranked second to last. Xun Ke is definitely in the top spot!
In fact, when faced with the crisis of trust in his old department just now, the reason why He Jingyun said nothing was because he was waiting for Xun Ke, and Xun Ke did not disappoint him. He helped him out as soon as he opened his mouth. In a few words, he relieved everyone's anxiety. , stabilized people's hearts.
"What's matter?"
With his only right arm, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. After waking up, He Jingyun asked:
Faced with He Jingyun's inquiry, Xun Ke, who looked solemn, nodded without hesitation, and then said after careful consideration of his words:
"Sir, there are some things in my heart that I won't be happy with unless I say them out..."
"Oh? I'm all ears!" He Jingyun's heart moved and he put down his tea cup, looking at Xun Ke, waiting for his speech.
Under He Jingyun's piercing gaze, Xun Ke felt a little nervous. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said:
"Sir, during the past few days since I came to Liaoyang, I have observed what Ye Mingsheng did..."
"I think he may not be as incompetent as we think!"
At the end of the story, Xun Ke mustered up the courage to look at He Jingyun.
When He Jingyun, who was sitting on the chair, heard this, he thought about it for half a cup of tea, and then said: "Keep talking!"
After receiving He Jingyun's permission, Xun Ke no longer had any worries and continued:
"Sir, in terms of ability and qualifications, you are Ye Mingsheng's first choice. How can Yuan Song be able to command the battle?"
"Ye Mingsheng did this, obviously consciously avoiding letting you command the battle and establishing prestige!"
"And it can be seen that Ye Mingsheng attaches great importance to military power. Lin Huaiwu, who is responsible for recruiting soldiers, and Ye Tie are his die-hard confidants!"
"Lin Huaiwu was the first to follow Ye Mingsheng. He became the sentinel commander because of Ye Mingsheng's promotion. This person has always followed Ye Mingsheng's lead!"
"Not to mention Ye Tie, he is a sibling of Ye Mingsheng and a former captain of the soldiers!"
"If my guess is correct, unless there is an emergency and it is absolutely necessary, Ye Mingsheng will not plan to let Mr. He directly lead the troops!"
"And with Hong Min's victory this time, Ye Mingsheng is likely to pay more attention to Yuan Song and use Yuan Song to balance you, Mr. He!" Xun Ke analyzed calmly:
Although Xun Ke's words were not stated explicitly, the underlying meaning behind them was to tell He Jingyun that Ye Mingsheng does not trust you! Ye Mingsheng is guarding against you!
It was obvious that Xun Ke's impassioned words in front of everyone just now were not his sincerity, but he was simply trying to save He Jingyun.
Although He Jingyun felt aloof and paranoid in his heart, he was not a stupid person, he was just a fan of the authorities.
And now Xun Ke's words from the perspective of a bystander can be said to have cleared the clouds and seen the blue sky, making him suddenly realize...
"Thank you!" Looking at Xun Ke, He Jingyun said solemnly:
"You're welcome, sir. This is all within my scope!" Xun Ke said humbly. After speaking, he hesitated and added:
"Sir, Ye Mingsheng is in Liaoyang. It can be said that he has the right time, location, people and... Your Excellency, you might as well take a step back and cooperate with him sincerely to serve the imperial court together. This is a good talk! "
He Jingyun, who had humbly accepted the advice just now, suddenly changed his expression when he heard Xun Ke's advice, and after a moment he said calmly:
"I see!"
Although He Jingyun's expression remained the same as before, Xun Ke, who had followed him for many years and was familiar with his character, immediately realized that what he said did not please He Jingyun.
Xun Ke, who originally wanted to persuade He Jingyun, felt helpless in his heart, so he didn't say any more. After a few more innocuous gossips with He Jingyun, he really said goodbye and left. .
After Xun Ke left, He Jingyun locked himself in the room alone. He stopped drinking tea to relieve his hangover. He directly picked up the wine jar and drank while deep in thought.
The reason why he excused himself from the meeting held by Ye Mingsheng in Ye Mansion today on the grounds of physical discomfort was not because he was really unwell...
But he has already guessed that Ye Mingsheng will probably spend a lot of money today and reward people based on their merits.
Everyone else had contributed to the battle against Hong Min. He Jingyun was the only one who stood behind and spent the whole day with Ye Mingsheng doing nothing.
Therefore, instead of watching others receive their rewards and standing awkwardly aside with nothing, He Jingyun simply stopped going and joined in the fun.
In this temporary residence arranged for him by Ye Mingsheng, he gathered his old subordinates and organized a dinner party. He was well intentioned and wanted to unite everyone, but he did not expect that Guan Fei would suddenly attack. .
If he hadn't known Guan Fei's outspoken personality, He Jingyun would have thought that Guan Fei was deliberately trying to embarrass him again.
In fact, long before Xun Ke said these words today, He Jingyun had already begun to realize Ye Mingsheng's extraordinary...
It's just that he doesn't want to admit it.
Or maybe he was unwilling to do so, and his plan to occupy the magpie's nest went bankrupt before he could even implement it.
