January 20, Ye Mansion Study Room
Ye Mingsheng leaned back on his chair, playing with the white lion head in his hand while listening to Huo San's report...
Standing respectfully in the hall, Huo San said in a deep voice:
"Sir, Xu Zhaojie captured Jinghai City seven days ago. However, under the cover of Jiangnan Navy, Cao Huan led the remaining 5,000 troops to retreat to Jiangnan. Xu Zhaojie was very angry about this and even ordered the Zhennan Army to open fire on Jiangnan Navy. There was some friction between the two sides, and it is said that hundreds of people were killed or injured!"
"Although Xu Zhaojie captured Jinghai this time, he also suffered a lot of casualties and consumed a lot of troops. According to reports from our hidden stakes in Zhennan Army, Xu Zhaojie originally only wanted to wipe out Cao Huan in three days, but in the end It took eleven days and cost tens of thousands of casualties!"
"But what is a little surprising this time is that during the siege, Xu Zhaojie promised the Zhennan Army soldiers to break Jinghai and allowed the Zhennan Army soldiers to loot Jinghai for three days. However, after Jinghai was broken, Xu Zhaojie did not fulfill his promise and strictly ordered The soldiers under my command are harassing the people in the city!"
"He just took action against Cao Huan's gang members and some wealthy households in the city, and rewarded the soldiers of the Zhennan Army with the money obtained from ransacking their homes! This is somewhat inconsistent with his past character of killing people!"
"In addition, Xu Zhaojie has recently ordered all Zhennan Army departments to avoid conflicts with our army and to exercise restraint against our army's provocations. Such behavior is very abnormal... ··········”
Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but sneer when he heard the news. Huo San couldn't tell what Xu Zhaojie was thinking, but in his eyes, Xu Zhaojie's purpose was as clear as a mirror!
Xu Zhaojie thought that he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits, but in fact he was just relying on the natural dangers of the South River to survive. When the First Division trained the navy in Kangyin, he, Xu Zhaojie, was about to die. day!
Putting down the Wenwan walnuts in his hands, Ye Mingsheng said calmly:
"Tell me about the news about the Luo'an court!"
"yes!"
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's instructions, Huo San organized his words and said:
"The commander of the Shenwu Army of the Luo'an court, Yang Chongqing, is said to have recovered from his illness. It is said that he went to see Shangguan Hongyuan a few days ago and had a family dinner at Shangguan's mansion!"

"At present, Yang Chongqing has taken over the Shenwu Army again. It seems that Shangguan Hongyuan's favor for him has not diminished. However, there is also news that Shangguan Hongyuan wants the heirs of the Shangguan family to marry the Tang family of Wei Guogong, Ma Chongyang, the commander of the Xuanwu Forbidden Army, and others. , this move is also considered to prevent Yang Chongqing’s family from becoming dominant!”
After hearing this news from Huo San, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. He had been in the Forbidden Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than ten years, so he was no stranger to Yang Chongqing, the commander of the Shenwu Army. When he was in the Forbidden Army before, he had I have listened to this person’s lectures several times··························
There are countless elite soldiers in the Imperial Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but only this man is known as Shangguan Hongyuan’s first general, and he is also the person Shangguan Hongyuan trusts the most. He has made countless achievements for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among them, the most famous battle was when In the third year of Anhe's reign, the Battle of Ulan River between the Zhou Dynasty and the Kipchaks took place.
At that time, Yang Chongqing led 50,000 imperial troops at the Ulan River and defeated the most powerful Tiger Division of the Kipchak Khanate. He killed more than 10,000 people for 30 miles and captured more than 3,000 people. In the past twenty years, the Great Zhou Dynasty had been wiped out. It was a shame that the Kipchak Tiger Division had no victory. This battle also made Yang Chongqing famous, and he was considered the pillar of the country's protector of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, because of that battle, Yang Chongqing was hit by a Kipchak arrow in the abdomen. Although it did not hurt his life, it also caused Yang Chongqing to suffer from the disease. From then on, Yang Chongqing's health was good and bad. Seven years after Anhe, he was bedridden. I can’t afford it until now.
Ye Mingsheng had almost forgotten that such a person existed, but he never thought that he would come out again after so many years!
Although Yang Chongqing has a great reputation, Ye Mingsheng is not too afraid of this person. Not to mention that this person has been lying on the bed for many years, not to mention how much success he still has left, let alone that Yang Chongqing can no longer control him. It’s the era of Qiankun!
After pondering for a moment, Ye Mingsheng asked Huo San:
"How is Shangguan Hongyuan's situation?"
Although he expected Ye Mingsheng to ask this question, Huo San felt a great deal of pressure when Ye Mingsheng really opened his mouth. Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, he answered very cautiously:
"There is not much news about Shangguan Hongyuan's physical condition at present, but according to some rumors, he should still be alive now, but his physical condition should have deteriorated very much, that is, what happened in the past few months... ·······················”
"When Shangguan Hongyuan dies, the Luo'an court is bound to be in turmoil. Although Shangguan Hongyuan has made a lot of preparations for this, and wants to help his son Shangguan Changgong take over smoothly, but now our army is in Yun and exerting huge pressure on the Luo'an court. military pressure!"
"So I speculate that with the Luo'an court facing internal and external troubles, even if Shangguan Hongyuan dies, Shangguan Changgong will most likely adopt the method of not announcing the funeral secretly to try to muddle through and reduce the pressure on him!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingsheng slightly nodded. The situation Huo San said was indeed very likely to happen.
Even though everyone now knows that Shangguan Hongyuan's life is short, as long as his death cannot be confirmed for one day, everyone does not dare to be too presumptuous. After all, the last purge of Shangguan Hongyuan in Luo'an is still fresh in our minds. Is Shangguan Hongyuan also trying to lure the snake out of its hole this time?
If things really develop like this, Shangguan Changgong may not be able to survive a year and a half by using the secret of not announcing the funeral. This is the time when he has just taken over and the instability of the regime is the most dangerous time.
It seems that a few months ago, when Shangguan Hongyuan was cleaning up in Luo'an, he seemed to have left this plan for Shangguan Changgong!
While Ye Mingsheng was thinking secretly, Huo San continued to report:
"Sir, the false information we passed to the Supervision Department through Sun Taihai worked. Based on that false information, Chen Jingyu has been arresting people within the Luo'an court during this period. Currently, Zhao Rui, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Chen Xingquan, the Qianhu of the Supervision Department, etc. All seven people have been captured by him..."
"After Chen Jingyu did this, the Luo'an court seems to be a little panicked now, and our undercover agents in the Luo'an court have also hidden themselves deeper!"
Looking at Huo San who was asking for credit, Ye Mingsheng also nodded and affirmed his work during this period, and then changed his voice and gave instructions:
"You, the Coordination Office, must think of a way to muddy the waters of the Luo'an court, so that their secret plan of keeping secrets of mourning cannot be carried out!"
Huo Sandun felt a lot of pressure when he said this, but under Ye Mingsheng's order, he could only bite the bullet and accept the task.
Huo San's report was over. Seeing that it was noon, Ye Mingsheng originally wanted to keep Huo San for a meal, but he didn't expect that Bai Yuanyuan would bring him a meal with a big belly at this time. Huo San also said goodbye and left very wisely. .
"Sir, this beef sauce is made from the best beef shank sauce. It is not only full of flavor but also very chewy!"
"There is also this dish of boiled cabbage. I started preparing this dish in the morning and it took several hours to make it. There is also this dish of sea cucumbers cooked with green onions. It is Chef Xu's best dish. She used... Her exclusive secret recipe..."
Looking at Bai Yuanyuan's attentive look and the delicious food she brought, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but move his index finger.
What he was most interested in was the boiled cabbage dish. Although he knew that the so-called boiled water was chicken soup, but when he saw that it was really crystal clear, without a trace of oil in it, as if it were really like tea, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but secretly said that he was surprised. .
Ye Mingsheng took a sip of the soup with some curiosity. The next second he felt the fresh and strong taste, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng seemed to be very satisfied with the boiled cabbage, Bai Yuanyuan gave Ye Mingsheng some more cabbage and said:
"My husband, please try this cabbage. This is the innermost cabbage heart. Only a whole Chinese cabbage has such a small amount of cabbage heart!"
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he tasted the cabbage with great interest. The cabbage heart already had a hint of sweetness, and under the influence of the mellow chicken soup, it became even more fragrant, mellow and full of flavor. .
After tasting this boiled cabbage dish, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but sigh at the ingenuity of this dish. It seemed not to be in line with people's traditional understanding of Sichuan cuisine, but it was a bit like Huaiyang cuisine, which is famous for its exquisiteness!
Although the dishes such as the braised sea cucumber with green onions and the soy sauce beef shank at the back were very good, Ye Mingsheng was a little less interested in the boiled cabbage dish in front of him. But overall, this lunch still made Ye Mingsheng happy. Ming Sheng ate very happily·························
After drinking and eating, Ye Mingsheng gently touched Bai Yuanyuan's pregnant belly and asked:
"Did you go to the medical school for a checkup?"
Bai Yuanyuan is almost five months pregnant for the second time, and her pregnant belly has already appeared. At the beginning of Bai Yuanyuan's pregnancy, the medical school warned that Bai Yuanyuan was thirty-five years old and considered an advanced maternal age. , the situation is not very good, miscarriage is very likely during the pregnancy, and even in the end there is a high possibility of dystocia.
Therefore, the medical school also comes to give Bai Yuanyuan a prenatal check-up every half month, and always pays attention to Bai Yuanyuan's pregnancy status.
After listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Bai Yuanyuan responded softly and said:
"The medical school prescribed some anti-fetal drugs for me, and I have been taking them recently!"
Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:
"You are in a special situation now, so take care of yourself!"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Bai Yuanyuan nodded and seemed to have thought of something and whispered:
"The doctors at the Tai Hospital all said that Sister Zhixiu has excellent medical skills and is better than them in matters of pregnancy and childbirth, so they suggested that I go see Sister Zhixiu and listen to her opinions... ············”
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable. Although the old doctors in the medical school had good medical skills, they were all men without exception, and the social atmosphere of this era was very Traditionally, all labor-related matters are left to midwives.
And Bai Yuanyuan's identity is very special and not very good, so now that the female doctor Pei Zhixiu is here, the people at the medical school don't seem to want to get involved too much.
When she asked about the situation of Changshan Medical Center before, Pei Jixiu also told herself that because the medical center only treats female patients, she mainly sees gynecological diseases and pregnancy status in the medical center, basically every day. Dozens of patients.
In this way, Pei Zhixiu has also accumulated rich experience. It is also very helpful to listen to her opinion on Bai Yuanyuan's situation at this moment, so Ye Mingsheng said without thinking too much:
"Then you go talk to Zhixiu!"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Bai Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before whispering:
"I have a normal relationship with sister Zhixiu. I really don't know how to speak."
Seeing Bai Yuanyuan hesitating, Ye Mingsheng understood what she was thinking, and immediately frowned and said:
"Are you biting someone's tongue behind your back again?"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Bai Yuanyuan lowered her head and said nothing. In the backyard of Ye Mansion, these women were fighting over each other. What they were fighting for was nothing more than Ye Mingsheng's favor, and as Ye Mingsheng's favorite woman, Pei Zhixiu was also It’s natural to be envied by others...
Everyone was envious and jealous of Pei Jixiu for saying bad things about her, and at the same time they wanted to replace her with someone else. Among them, Bai Yuanyuan and others were the ones who said the most.
Therefore, when it was time to seek help from Pei Zhixiu, Bai Yuanyuan also had some scruples. On the one hand, she was an advanced maternal age and her condition was not very good. Doctors at the medical school all praised Pei Zhixiu. If she could get her help, mother and child would be much safer. A guarantee.
But because she said too many bad things about others behind their backs in the past, even though Pei Zhixiu has never met them in general, Bai Yuanyuan also has great worries. She is worried that Pei Zhixiu has always held a grudge and acted evilly at this time, which will kill her and kill two people later. !
To be honest, at the very beginning of her pregnancy, the doctors at the medical school suggested that she seek help from Pei Zhixiu, but because of this concern, Bai Yuanyuan did not dare to do so.
However, the doctors at the medical school recently said that her condition was not very good, and for the sake of safety, they once again suggested that she seek help from Bae Ji Soo!
Bai Yuanyuan was very conflicted about this. She was worried that Pei Zhixiu would reject her because of past events, and she was also worried that Pei Zhixiu would have no good intentions after agreeing.
After thinking about this dilemma for a few days, she finally thought of a good way, which was to let Ye Mingsheng come forward. Bai Yuanyuan believed that with Ye Mingsheng coming forward, first of all, Pei Zhixiu would not refuse, and secondly, at Ye Mingsheng's request, Bae Ji Soo didn't dare to make any small moves...
