In addition to the increase in population, Murong Yuliang was also pleased that after Ye Mingsheng's rectification of officialdom, the efficiency and integrity of Fengzhou's government operations have been significantly improved. Some good policies can Implement it faster to benefit the people and develop Fengzhou.
For a place like Fengzhou with fertile land, mines, population, and efficient government, Murong Yuliang was very confident in making this place bigger and stronger.
Although the situation in Fengzhou is very gratifying, at the same time Murong Yuliang is also clearly aware of his biggest challenge and threat as the governor of Fengzhou - Fengzhou Commander-in-Chief Ye Mingsheng!
Although he had not arrived in Fengzhou before, he heard a lot of news about Ye Mingsheng one after another on the way, such as how to annihilate the gangster Wang Laogangzi, defeat the Khitans, and suppress corrupt officials.
He even saw with his own eyes the Khitan soldiers who were escorted around Liaoyang by Ye Mingsheng's soldiers.
As the parent officer of Fengzhou, Murong Yuliang was very pleased that Fengzhou had a strong armed force like Ye Mingsheng...
After all, Fengzhou, as a border area, is deeply threatened by foreign tribes such as Khitan and Shiwei. If there is no strong army as a guarantee, then no matter how well he develops Fengzhou, Fengzhou will be just meat on the chopping board. , allowing the aliens to cut and enjoy.
But as the parent official of Fengzhou, Murong Yuliang was also disgusted. As the commander-in-chief, Ye Mingsheng interfered and excessively interfered in the local government affairs of Fengzhou. He believed that Ye Mingsheng was acting on his behalf and violated his rights as the governor of the state. !
Although he has not yet met the Fengzhou commander who is rumored to be older than his son, judging from Ye Mingsheng's various actions, Murong Yuliang can already confirm that although this Ye Mingsheng is young, he is also an ambitious man. Generations!
He wanted to turn Fengzhou into his private territory, and then separate one side and bring chaos to the world. This undoubtedly made Murong Yuliang, a traditional bureaucrat who still supported the orthodoxy of the imperial court, have an even worse impression of Ye Mingsheng... ········
In Murong Yuliang's opinion, why is the Great Zhou world so corrupt now?
The answer lies in the emergence of a group of ambitious people represented by Shangguan Hongyuan. As ministers, they enjoy the favor of the court, but do not want to be loyal to the court. Instead, they spy on the country and the country. They are simply a cancer and a moth in the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ! He will be reviled for eternity!
"well!"
Thinking of this, Murong Yuliang sighed deeply, his expression full of sadness.
"Dad, are you worried about Ye Mingsheng?"
A clear and sweet voice sounded from outside the room. As the voice sounded, a young woman walked slowly from outside the house with a smile.
This woman has a delicate face, her skin is like cream, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water, which makes people feel excited. She is really slightly flushed, with peach blush on her cheeks, and her cheeks are smiling, and even more rare is the woman's eyebrows. , there is a faint sense of bookishness...
Looking at his biological daughter, Murong Yuliang had nothing to hide, and sighed with resentment and helplessness:
"Another ambitious person. The Zhou Dynasty has been under the rule of Zuo for hundreds of years. How come he has raised such a bunch of things that are worse than pigs and dogs?"
Feeling her father's thoughts, Murong Qingwu frowned slightly and gently reminded:
"Dad, you can say this in this room, but don't say it again outside of this room..."
"Hmph! That's it, what does Ye Mingsheng dare to do to me? Not to mention him, the commander-in-chief of Fengzhou? What about Shangguan Hongyuan, the chief assistant of the dynasty?"
"Dad, didn't you tell me that Fengzhou is no better than Chang'an...Why have you forgotten this?" Murong Qingwu said helplessly:
Murong Yuliang was somewhat silent when he heard the words. He shook his head slightly for a long time with an extremely complicated expression. Although it was his first time to leave Luo'an to serve, he had been in the officialdom for decades, so he certainly understood the difference.
Although Shangguan Hongyuan is the chief minister of the dynasty and has great power and influence, there are countless pairs of eyes in the world watching him. Under the control of the family members, everyone in the world has to wait for him at any time. In such a situation, Shangguan Hongyuan needs to restrain himself, be cautious, and consider the overall situation...
Therefore, as long as Shangguan Hongyuan is not touched, even if Shangguan Hongyuan is offended, his life will not be in danger. Just like him, Shangguan Hongyuan was obstructed from appointing and removing the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Shangguan Hongyuan was Being offended is nothing more than being demoted.
But at the local level, these generals who hold military power have very little restraint from Zhou's laws, morals, and even public opinion!
These people are a bunch of ruthless guys with their heads tied to their belts and licking blood from the tips of their knives. They are all bold and there is nothing they dare not do. As long as the benefits are big enough, they will even rebel!
If you offend them even a little bit, they will really dare to rape your wife and daughter, and eventually kill your whole family!
And the most important point is that although the Murong family is a top aristocratic family, there have been three pavilion elders and seven or eight six ministers in the family. Their family roots are all in the Guanzhong area, and their influence on Liaoyang is very limited... ·········
When the critical moment came, Ye Mingsheng decided to kill him. Although the guards he brought were slaves of the Murong family for generations, they were all highly skilled in martial arts and loyal.
But these people can deal with the bandits harassing you along the way, and they can protect your life. But if they really encounter Ye Mingsheng's army, he, Murong Yuliang, will only be able to capture him without any help, waiting to be killed, and he will kill himself. There was no way to stop him, so he could only lie down and let Ye Mingsheng do what he did.
When he thought of this, although he had been mentally prepared before coming, Murong Yuliang was still a little filled with emotion.
Seeing her father like this, although Murong Qingwu was a little heartbroken, she couldn't help but continue to whisper:
"Dad, I know you have a lot of opinions about Ye Mingsheng, but didn't my uncle say that when you go to Liaoyang, people are under the roof, and sometimes you have to bow your head."
"Dad, you just want to gain experience in Fengzhou. You might as well try to coexist peacefully with Ye Mingsheng over there. Ye Mingsheng came from a poor family. He was less than 30 years old and became a fifth-level general soldier by virtue of his military exploits. Position, he should also be a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to choose, and will not make unwise moves easily."
"As long as you treat me with courtesy, father, and with the reputation of the Murong family, he shouldn't go too far..."
