In addition to wanting to prevent the power of aristocratic families from resurrecting in Liaoyang, Ye Mingsheng's plan to transfer Cui Shao to Youyan also has the idea of balancing the local faction of Youyan... ··
At present, in order to appease the people, restore order to the local area, and integrate manpower and material resources in the Youyan area more quickly, Ye Mingsheng relies heavily on the forces of the Youyan local faction represented by the Gu family. However, this is only temporary, and will wait until Ye Mingsheng completely captures Youyan. , when Youyan implements reforms, the interests of these local snakes will inevitably be touched, so Ye Mingsheng needs to make arrangements in advance.
Introduce the Liaoyang forces represented by Cui Shao into Youyan to balance the various forces in the Youyan government and prevent the Youyan local faction from becoming a dominant force in the future Youyan government.
As for Cui Shao, his dream has always been to bring the Cui family out of the remote countryside of Liaoyang and strengthen the family's prestige, to the center of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he gave him this hope, otherwise he would not have He acquiesced in his attack on the Yun family and Gongsun family.
So now I gave him the opportunity. This old fox knew that this was his conspiracy, so he would definitely jump in.
As for Cui Shao's successor, Ye Mingsheng's first choice was not Murong Yuliang, but his most trusted adviser Gu Sansi. Ye Mingsheng believed in Gu Sansi. If he served as the chief envoy of Liaoyang, then He will definitely stick to his own policy, crack down on the rise in power of the Liaoyang family, and deepen reforms to promote production.
Therefore, when Ye Mingsheng was in Yijing, he had exchanges with Gu Sansi on this issue. As for the post of Chief Envoy of Liaoyang, Gu Sansi said that he was willing to follow Ye Mingsheng's arrangements, but as far as he was concerned, he was not particularly good at managing local government affairs. He would rather do something in the central government and participate in the Fengwu Army. The formulation of overall strategy and external liaison work...
After learning about Gu Sansi's intentions, Ye Mingsheng gave up the idea of letting Gu Sansi serve as the chief envoy of Liaoyang after careful consideration. He also really needed Gu Sansi by his side to help him formulate the overall strategy of the Fengwu Army. , check and fill in the gaps in each of your plans.
After ruling out Gu Sansi as an option, Ye Mingsheng began to examine other high-ranking officials in his Fengwu military regime. After careful consideration, he still felt that among these options, Murong Yuliang, the current Inspector General of Liaoyang, was undoubtedly the most reliable. that one!
Although Ma Runshan has demonstrated extraordinary ability in handling government affairs, his qualifications in the Fengwu Army are still relatively low. It would be difficult for him to serve as chief envoy. As for Financial Secretary Zhang Juning, although his abilities are also very good, he has always been Ju Zhongxin is responsible for financial work and has no experience in local governance, so he is not a suitable candidate.
Except for Ma Runshan and Zhang Juning, there is no one left in the Fengwu Army who is a very suitable candidate in terms of qualifications, abilities and other aspects.
So after careful consideration, Ye Mingsheng chose Murong Yuliang to be the Chief Envoy, and Ye Mingsheng would first vacate the position of the Inspector General, and then ask Wang Xuecheng to leave the Tongtun and go to the Inspector General to be the Deputy Inspector General, and he would observe it for a period of time Let’s talk again··················
After making this decision, Ye Chengcheng came over and reported:
"Sir, the eldest lady has woken up!"
Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard the words, and immediately walked towards An Miaoyi's yard. At this time, An Miaoyi was lying on the bed, being fed millet porridge by Qiqige. Seeing Ye Mingsheng's arrival, An Miaoyi A bright light appeared in her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to stand up. Ye Mingsheng quickly stabilized her and let her lie on the bed to have a good rest. He took the rice bowl from Qiqige's hand and carefully fed An Miao the millet porridge. according to.
Seeing the loving scene in front of them, Qi Qige and others also wisely withdrew, leaving the room to Ye Mingsheng and An Miaoyi. After they left, An Miaoyi also opened up more. Holding Ye Mingsheng's hand, he recounted the thrilling moments last night with great grievance.
Listening to An Miaoyi's words, Ye Mingsheng gradually realized that the danger in the delivery room last night was far worse than he imagined. After listening to An Miaoyi's words word for word, he sighed and was very happy. said:
"Thank you for having Ji Soo here!"
When An Miaoyi heard this, a fleeting look flashed in her eyes, and then she said in agreement:
"Yes! If sister Zhixiu hadn't been here, I'm afraid the child and I would have been doomed this time!"
"Ms. sir, you must help me thank sister Zhixiu..."
Seeing that An Miaoyi didn't look fake, Ye Mingsheng patted her little hand with satisfaction and said:
"Don't worry, my husband will do it!"
Although Ye Mingsheng was leading troops outside during this period, he had also heard the rumors circulating in the house about the discord between Pei Zhixiu and An Miaoyi. Because he trusted An Miaoyi, he did not interfere with this matter. , and now listening to An Miaoyi's words, he felt that these rumors might just be based on rumors.
After comforting An Miaoyi for a while, An Miaoyi seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Ye Mingsheng expectantly and asked:
"Ms. sir, have you named our son?"
"Forehead·········"
Hearing An Miaoyi also asked about this name, Ye Mingsheng had an idea in his mind and subconsciously said:
"Let's call him Ye Ren! I hope he can be a benevolent king who loves and protects the people in the future!"
As soon as Ye Mingsheng said these words, although she had long sensed Ye Mingsheng's ambition and ambition, An Miaoyi was still very surprised to hear Ye Mingsheng say it so straightforwardly, but she soon regained her composure and hesitated for a moment. Ye Mingsheng warned in a low voice:
"My lord, Ye Ren is a good name. However, although the national fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are declining now, the legacy of the three hundred years of the country is still there. The people in the world still love the Zhou family. Although my lord captured Yijing and captured most of Youyan. , but we must still remember to avoid being anxious and impetuous, accumulate food widely, and be king slowly..."
Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly when he heard this, put his hand on An Miaoyi's delicate face and said:
"Don't worry, your husband and I are not that crazy yet. Naturally, we have to wait until we have the world in our hands to do such things as being a loner!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was not as anxious to become emperor as he feared, An Miaoyi felt relieved and whispered:
"My husband has a gap in his heart. It's Miaoyi who talks too much!"
"Since Miaoyi knows that you are wrong, then it is your duty to serve according to the family law!" Ye Mingsheng smiled and whispered:
Hearing the word "family law" and looking at Ye Mingsheng's malicious smile, a blush crept onto An Miaoyi's pretty face and she couldn't help but shyly said:
"Mr., my body...or let Qiqige..."
Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said:
"Miaoyi, who do you think your husband-in-law is? As a gentleman, Ye will naturally not take advantage of others' danger at this time. However, I will write down this account for the time being and I will slowly settle it with you in the future!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's upright and awe-inspiring look, An Miaoyi nodded and responded softly:
"Um!"
···························
···························
Originally, according to Ye Mingsheng's original plan, he wanted to stay in Dongning for three days to have a good company. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. In the evening, Huo San, director of the Coordination Office, came to the government late at night to report something urgent. road:
Looking at Huo San walking into the house, Ye Mingsheng knew very well that if Huo San came to disturb him late at night at this time, something terrible must have happened, otherwise he would definitely not do this, so he did not wait for Huo San Kneeling down and saluting, he said with a serious expression:
"What happened? Did Zhao Fuqu lead his troops to counterattack?"
When Huo San heard this, he also raised his hands and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"My lord, Zhao Fuqu, has led his troops to counterattack. Currently, our army only has small-scale conflicts with the Yan army in Sanhe County in the middle of Youyan. Zhao Fuqu's main force is still stationed in the Zhuo County area!"
After receiving Huo San's answer, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly, felt a little relieved, and then continued to ask:
"If that's the case, then why are you running here in such a hurry?"
Huo San explained:
"Sir, although Zhao Fuqu has not made any moves in the military, they are active in diplomacy and public opinion. Zhao Fuqu's chief adviser Huang Wenze has visited Yujing and received a large amount of financial support from Gao Zongchang, the commander of Yujingdu. These The first batch of 100,000 shi of food has already been shipped from Yujing to Zhuoxian County!"
"Not only that, after Huang Wenze left Yujing, he did not return to Zhuoxian County. Instead, he went to Licheng, as if he wanted to get assistance from Cao Changping, the Qilu military envoy!"
"In addition to these moves in diplomacy, the Yan army has also made big moves in public opinion. Now rumors are spreading among the people of Youyan, saying that you, Lord Governor, are..."
Halfway through the words, Huo San did not dare to say any more. Seeing his appearance, Ye Mingsheng waved his hands calmly and said:
"No need to have any taboos! Just say whatever you want! I forgive you!"
With Ye Mingsheng's permission, Huo San dared to continue:
"They also say that you are a treacherous person, a rebellious person, a maniac, a treacherous and evil person. There is also a nursery rhyme that talks about a lancet, sinking a boat, swallowing jade, and turning into a dragon. ············”
Listening to Huo San's words, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes. This nursery rhyme was obviously meant for him, Ye Mingsheng! His surname is Ye, so the three characters "Lancet" should refer to him. There is a character "zhou" in "Sunken Wooden Boat", and "zhou" belongs to Zhou.
It sounds homophonic, so it means that the Great Zhou Dynasty died in his own hands. As for swallowing jade and turning into a dragon, it probably means that after he captures the Jade Capital, he will turn into a real dragon and proclaim himself emperor!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng shook his head slightly. It seemed that Zhao Fuqu was really desperate, so he even tried this trick. However, in this feudal era, there should be many people who use this kind of superstitious trick. believable! Gao Zongchang, who was in charge of Yujing, was willing to support Zhao Fuqu with money and food. I guess this nursery rhyme had a lot of credit!
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng asked Huo San:
"Have the people who spread these rumors been arrested?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Huo San nodded and said:
"Director Wang has arrested more than fifty people there so far, but rumors spread quickly..."
Seeing Huo San hesitate to speak, Ye Mingsheng knew that his subtext was that the rumors could no longer be stopped. Ye Mingsheng did not pay much attention to this and directly ordered:
"Execute all those currently spreading these rumors to serve as a warning to others, and then ask Gu Sansi to intensify his public attack on the Yan army. Let the Gu family and others also participate. They are local gangsters in Youyan and are very influential in the local area. Their help will get twice the result with half the effort.”
"As for Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping, please ask Gu Sansi to write a letter to Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping in my name, telling me that Zhao Fuqu oppressed me in Liaoyang. I couldn't bear the humiliation and sent troops in anger. As long as Zhao Fuqu is wiped out, I, Ye, will People will not continue to go south!”
"Then you are looking to see if there is a chance to get rid of Huang Wenze. Huang Wenze is always a scourge around Zhao Fuqu. If you have the chance, do him for me!"
Ye Mingsheng now needs time to digest the population resources of Youyan territory, so Ye Mingsheng is still a little wary of Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping collaborating with Zhao Fuqu, but he is also very aware that these three people have many conflicts with each other, and they are constantly fighting each other. Everyone has their own little calculations, and it is difficult to truly unite them.
Therefore, what Ye Mingsheng needs to do is to release goodwill to Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping to offset their wariness about him. Naturally, a promise must be given to others. Anyway, this thing does not cost money... ····
"yes!"
Huo San bowed and responded:
Looking at Huo San's back, Ye Mingsheng suddenly remembered Murong Yuliang's warning to him, so he spoke to Huo San again:
"Wait a moment!"
Huo San turned around and asked:
"Sir, do you have any other orders?"
Looking at Huo San, Ye Mingsheng asked:
"How is the infiltration of the Luobei people by your Coordination Office going?"
Although he didn’t know why Ye Mingsheng suddenly asked this question, Huo San thought about it and replied:
"According to your instructions, we used the Dadongsheng Trading Company to trade with the Luobi people, corrupting the Luobi nobles and infiltrating into the Luobi people. At present, in Luobi, Aibag, Urad, and Kar are close to Liaoyang. The three Kaban divisions have the fastest penetration, so if there is any trouble among these three divisions, we can know as soon as possible!"
Listening to Huo San's answer, Ye Mingsheng asked:
"What about the Luo Bei Royal Court?"
Huo San couldn't help but look embarrassed when he said this, but he could only bite the bullet and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Our Coordination Office has also planted a few hidden stakes in the Royal Court of Luo Bei, but they are all ordinary people and have not yet been able to access the core secrets of Luo Bei... "
