In the evening, Cui Shao walked out of Ye Mansion and got on the carriage back home with the support of his old servant...
Cui Shao, who was sitting in the carriage after a tiring day, also began to close his eyes and rest his mind, but his thoughts were still on the conversation he had just had with An Miaoyi.
Cui Shao concluded that with the shrewdness of the Murong family, after Xu Zhaojie made such a bad move, they would definitely not target An Miaoyi as planned!
Because it is obvious that Ye Mingsheng will not let Xu Zhaojie succeed as he wishes, which will increase the internal cracks in the Fengwu Army, and developing in this direction will undoubtedly be against Ye Mingsheng!
Therefore, given the cunning and cunning nature of the Murong family, not only will they not continue to make a fuss about this matter, they may actually take the initiative to exonerate An Miaoyi!
For example, Murong Yuliang stood up and said that any relationship between this matter and An Miaoyi was all shameless slander by Xu Zhaojie. We must not fall into his scheme!
We must unite closely around the commander-in-chief, contribute to the great cause of the Fengwu Army, and strive to unify the world as soon as possible and support the commander-in-chief to ascend to the throne and proclaim himself emperor!
In this way, on the surface, everyone maintains unity and harmony, which is what Ye Mingsheng wants to see!
And if the Murong family is really so sensible, Ye Mingsheng will probably not treat the Murong family badly. However, Murong Yuliang and Murong Hui are already in high positions, and the commander-in-chief may not promote them!
But people like Murong Zhengshan, Murong Zhe, and Murong Shengwu are all likely to be promoted...
On the surface, this matter will end here, but secretly, this matter is far from over. Cui Shao believes that Ye Mingsheng will definitely let the Coordination Office and Internal Security Bureau continue to investigate this matter. He will try his best to solve this matter. The matter comes to light!
But no matter what, An Miaoyi will definitely suffer this time, and Ye Mingsheng will definitely punish An Miaoyi. After all, An Miaoyi's hands have indeed been stretched too long recently, and she has been too restless!
Thinking of this, a name came to Cui Shao's mind, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes!
An Miaoyi has been too close to this person recently, and has been too involved, and this person is very special in the Fengwu Army!
He had previously advised An Miaoyi not to have too much involvement with this person, but An Miaoyi just refused to listen, thinking that some things would be easy to handle with this person's help!
Yes, things got easier with the help of this person, but it also planted a big thunder for her, a thunder that could explode at any time!
Cui Shao also had a headache thinking about this. Although these were just his conjectures, Cui Shao felt that this might become a reality in the future!
If something happens to that person, in order to protect himself, he will probably drag An Miaoyi into the water, and the Cui family is too deeply involved with An Miaoyi, and I am afraid that he will not be able to survive alone!
Thinking of this, Cui Shao also fell into thinking. He felt that he needed to take some fire prevention measures...

······························
In the study room of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, Ye Mingsheng was writing and correcting the memorial sent from below. Jiang Cong officially proclaimed himself emperor ten days ago!
The first thing Jiang Cong did after becoming emperor was to make Ye Mingsheng the Duke of Feng and the General of the Zhu Kingdom, controlling all the soldiers and horses in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
In addition, Ye Mingsheng was also given the privilege of going to the palace with swords and shoes, entering the court without following, and praising and worshiping without fame. Originally, Ye Mingsheng was also offered nine tins, but Ye Mingsheng felt that it was a bit too showy, so he refused. Got it!
After Jiang Cong became emperor, the first thing Ye Mingsheng did was to compile a list of meritorious officers and soldiers of the Fengwu Army, and then he was going to stamp Jiang Cong's name and have Jiang Cong sign his name. Get ready to make it public!
As for the second thing, the matter of moving the capital, Ye Mingsheng thought the same. Although he had already dealt with these old people and young people from Zhou Dynasty, after hearing the news that Ye Mingsheng intended to move the capital to Yi Jing, these old people and young people were... It's noisy again!
However, under Ye Mingsheng's instructions, Ye Cheng cleaned up this group of people again and found a few random excuses to kill the most popular people!
After knowing Ye Mingsheng's ruthless and domineering methods, even these old and young people still thought about opposing the idea of moving the capital, but on the surface they were as silent as a cicada and did not dare to make any mistakes... ···············
Ye Mingsheng found a few more people and advocated the benefits of moving the capital. Then Jiang Cong nodded and the matter was settled!
Compared with this second thing, the first thing, how to fengwujun and the others, made Ye Mingsheng even more cautious!
At this moment, Ye Cheng came to Ye Mingsheng and reported:
"Sir, General Yuan wants to see you for something!"
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes and he nodded. After receiving Ye Mingsheng's signal, Ye Cheng immediately invited Yuan Song into the study!
"Yuan Song, a humble official, meets the commander-in-chief!"
When Yuan Song came to Ye Mingsheng, he immediately leaned over and gave a big salute. Ye Mingsheng also said with a smile:
"Get up!"
"Ye Cheng, come and get a chair for General Yuan!"
Yuan Songdang, who had just stood up, said:
"How dare you, the general, sit with the commander-in-chief? Just stand, general!"
Hearing what Yuan Song said, Ye Cheng, who was going to get a chair, also stopped and looked at Ye Mingsheng!
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:
"General Yuan, you have traveled thousands of miles to achieve unparalleled achievements in this battle. It is really a credit to your hard work. What's the harm in just a chair?"
"Ye Cheng, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you go quickly?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Cheng immediately brought the money over. Even though Yuan Song repeatedly declined, Ye Mingsheng still insisted on letting him sit down and talk.
At Ye Mingsheng's repeated request, Yuan Song sat down with fear, but even if he sat down, he only dared to sit halfway down, sitting very respectfully in order to listen to Ye Mingsheng's instructions... ···············
Ye Mingsheng gently chatted with Yuan Song about things, such as what happened during the battle, how Yuan Song solved it, and how Yuan Song was doing. After chatting for about half an hour, Ye Mingsheng finally talked about it. Got to the point.
"General Yuan, our Fengwu Army has always attached great importance to military achievements. This time you led the troops not only to destroy the Shangguan rebels, but also to defeat the Kipchak Khanate and recover the Yongliang area. Such achievements are also true in the history of our Great Zhou Dynasty. It’s very dazzling and an unparalleled achievement!”
"I have already petitioned the Holy One to make you, General Yuan, the hereditary prince of the country. If nothing else happens, the imperial edict will be issued in the next few days!"
Yuan Song was shocked as soon as these words came out, and immediately knelt down on the ground again, asking for Ye Mingsheng's orders:
"Please, Commander-in-Chief, please take back your life!"
"The victory of this Western Expedition depends entirely on the commander-in-chief's strategizing and decisive victory. The humble position is just a coincidence! How dare you make the country a Duke? I ask the commander-in-chief to take back his life!"
After saying this, Yuan Song kowtowed again. He had just knelt down and Ye Mingsheng helped him up again and said:
"Yuan Song, look at how you were talking so well and why you knelt down again. In this battle, you demonstrated the momentum of our Fengwu Army and the national prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you don't reward you well, how can you convince the soldiers? "
"I have also submitted a memorial to His Majesty, Yuan Song, please stop declining..."
Yuan Song was even more anxious when he heard this. Although the generals of the Fengwu Army were all looking forward to the reward this time, as Ye Mingsheng only wanted a duke instead of the king as expected, it was for this time The reward sets a tone!
Because of his great contributions, he was considered to be very likely to be named a Duke this time. However, because Ye Mingsheng only received one Duke this time, his position became very embarrassing. Thinking of this, Yuan Song also made a decision. Determined to bow to Ye Mingsheng and report:
"Commander, this time in the Yongliang battle, the general killed more than 10,000 Kipchak prisoners without asking for permission. In addition, the general was also in Jinyang. Luo'an used his power to purchase many properties. He also asked Commander-in-Chief punishes the crime!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly and said leisurely:
"General Yuan, I am not Qin Shihuang, and you are not Wang Jian, you don't have to be like this!"
Yuan Song was even more frightened when he heard this. He could tell that Ye Mingsheng was going to beat him today, but he didn't know where he had violated Ye Mingsheng's taboo?
Having said almost everything that needed to be said, Ye Mingsheng also changed his tone and said with a smile:
"General Yuan, as the ancients said, it is good to cultivate one's moral character, bring order to one's family, and bring peace to the world. You are a veteran who has followed the Fengwu Army since its inception. Naturally, I can absolutely trust you. But General Yuan, I think that while you are cultivating one's moral character, you should also Keep the whole family together..."
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Song almost understood that his family had committed a crime, but what crime had happened to make the commander behave like this?
Seeing that Yuan Song had almost come to his senses and wanted to ask himself but did not dare to ask himself, Ye Mingsheng smiled and handed a memorial on the desk to Yuan Song.
Yuan Song carefully took the memorial and Dingqing took a look at it. After reading a few lines, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. It turned out that Ye Mingsheng had been named the Duke of Feng a few days ago.
Yuan Song's nephew Yuan Sen also realized that after Ye Mingsheng was named Feng Guogong, other Fengwu army generals including Yuan Song and He Jingyun could not hold the title of Duke. He was also very unhappy and began to I feel worthless for my uncle Yuan Song!
This in itself is nothing, as long as you don't show it, no one will know, but Yuan Sen may have lost his temper under the influence of alcohol when he was drinking with his military colleagues a few days ago!
Then drunken Yuan Sen not only complained about Ye Mingsheng, saying that Ye Mingsheng was nepotistic, Ye Dong, Ye Tao and others could be made uncles, but his uncle Yuan Song could only be made marquis.
It is even said that half of the territory of the Fengwu Army was conquered by his uncle Yuan Song, so Yuan Song's contribution is not only a mere prince, but also a king. There is no problem at all!
Because it was just a small-scale conversation between colleagues in the military, it did not spread. However, someone still reported it to the Coordination Office, and the Coordination Office also reported the matter to Ye Mingsheng... ···············
After reading the memorial, Yuan Song was also very shocked. He never thought that his nephew Yuan Sen seemed to be reliable, but he would not be able to keep his mouth shut after drinking some wine!
You can say these things casually. Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. You shouldn't even have such thoughts!
Thinking of this, Yuan Song was about to kneel down again, but as soon as he made this move, Ye Mingsheng supported him and said to Yuan Song with a smile:
"General Yuan, you and I understand! It doesn't have to be like this!"
Yuan Song looked very excited when he heard this and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Commander! I'm ashamed of my humble position! How dare this little beast talk nonsense? The reason why our Fengwu Army can be so strong is all because of your wisdom and martial prowess, Commander-in-Chief, and your ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away!"
"I only made a small contribution. I will chop this little beast into pieces when I get back so that he can never talk nonsense again!"
Ye Mingsheng waved his hands and said:
"Yuan Sen, this young man is young and energetic, I can understand that, it's definitely not like this!"
"General Yuan, this is your family matter and I won't get involved too much! Just educate and educate on small things, don't take it too seriously!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng didn't seem to be hypocritical when he said this, Yuan Song also felt grateful in his heart...
He really wanted to kill Yuan Sen just now. Giving Ye Mingsheng an explanation also proved his intentions. After all, what Yuan Sen did had such a bad impact!
But after all, Yuan Sen is his nephew, and he has been by his side all year round. He has long regarded Yuan Sen as his own flesh and blood!
So although he was willing to kill Yuan Sen in order to save his family, he was still very painful in his heart!
And now that Ye Mingsheng said this, he undoubtedly settled the matter. Although Yuan Sen's future was ruined, at least his life was saved. Thinking of this, Yuan Song also bowed to Ye Mingsheng with sincerity and said:
"Thank you so much for your mercy, Marshal! I will definitely educate this little beast well after I go back and let him understand the power of Marshal Tianwei!"
Ye Mingsheng raised his head slightly, then smiled and said:
"General Yuan, I know very well your contribution to the Fengwu Army. Your military exploits cannot be overstated. However, the time is not ripe yet, so you should regard it as something I, Mr. Ye, owe you first. It won't be long before I owe you something." What is yours will definitely be yours!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Song immediately knelt down and said in a deep voice:
"If the commander-in-chief hadn't given up, I'm afraid Yuan Song would have been nothing more than a sentry commander by now. Yuan Song is where he is today because of you, the commander-in-chief!"
"Not to mention being a marquis, even if I let you, the commander-in-chief, lead your horse and kick the pedals, I will be willing to do so without any hesitation... ········”
