Seven days later, Yi Jing, Ye Mansion
Su Yi quickly walked into Ye Mingsheng's study, bowed and said:
"For humble positions, please see the commander-in-chief..."
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng's attention shifted from the memorial on the desk to Su Yi, and he raised his head slightly and asked:
"Anything new?"
Su Yi took out a memorial, handed it to Ye Mingsheng respectfully and said:
"Commander, regarding the cooperation between our Foreign Affairs Bureau and the General Staff Department, I discussed it with Chief of Staff Zhao Han in the past few days, and then made a summary plan!"
"Originally, I came to report to you, Commander-in-Chief, along with Chief of Staff Zhao. However, Chief of Staff Zhao has taken sick leave in the past few days, so I will report to you alone!"
Taking the memorial from Su Yi, Ye Mingsheng looked at it carefully and scanned it roughly. Ye Mingsheng put down the memorial and thought about Su Yi and asked:
"Do you think this Zhu Chen is reliable?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Su Yi nodded seriously and said:
"Although Zhu Chen was an official promoted by Lu Jianchao after he took control of Jiangnan, he has always been very good at judging the situation!"
"Now the general trend of the world has become extremely clear. Zhu Chen was more inclined to our army before, but after the demise of the Zhennan Army, he is now very active in wanting to move closer to our army. I think he will provide important information for us to peacefully conquer Jiangnan. s help························"
Seeing Su Yi's confident look, Ye Mingsheng no longer had any doubts. After thinking about it for a while, he asked again:
"Who are you going to send to Huainan to coordinate with the First Army?"
Faced with Ye Mingsheng's question, Su Yi was not as decisive as before. Instead, she hesitated for a while and then cautiously tried:
"Commander, can you please look at me?"
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this and said:
"Su Yi, you are the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Do you plan to go to Jiangnan in person?"
Su Yi explained:
"Sir, I have been to Jiangnan many times and know the situation in Jiangnan very well, so I think that if I go, I can speed up the peaceful conquest of Jiangnan!"
At this point, Su Yi paused again, and then looked at Ye Mingsheng's confident sermon:
"Sir, Zhu Chen and I have had in-depth communication about the situation in Jiangnan during this period. This also gives me great confidence to complete the peaceful liberation of Jiangnan within this year!"
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but nodded slightly. It's almost October in a few days, and there are still three months until the end of this year. Excluding the time spent traveling in the middle, that means Su Yi is sure to be there in more than a month. Jiangnan can be solved within a short period of time. It seems that Su Yi's confidence is really not small!
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng asked again:
"After you go to Jiangnan, who will stay in Yijing to take charge of the daily work of the Foreign Affairs Bureau? And who will continue the negotiations with Sichuan and Shu?"
Regarding Ye Mingsheng's question, Su Yi had already thought about it and was waiting for Ye Mingsheng to ask it. At this moment, she said without any hesitation:
"Zhang Hai, the governor of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, is very good. He is calm and alert. When I went to work in other places, he was responsible for the daily work of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. He did a good job and was very reassuring." ························"
"As for the negotiations with Sichuan and Shu, Sir, I am dissatisfied with my going to Jiangnan this time. Part of the reason is that I want to avoid the Sichuan and Shu envoys!"
"Oh? What do you say about this?" Ye Mingsheng became interested and asked:
Su Yi organized her words and said:
"Song Weikai, the envoy from Sichuan and Sichuan, has been asking me about my progress and your opinion. In the past few days, he has come to see me again and again, which has made his subordinates very annoyed, so this trip to Jiangnan can be considered as a way to escape. !”
Hearing what Su Yi said, Ye Mingsheng also burst into laughter. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said:
"Forget it, you need to talk directly with Lu Jianchao when you go to Jiangnan. If your Foreign Affairs Bureau sends someone else there, the level is not high enough. Then Lu Jianchao may feel that we despise him. Su Yi, if you go, you can also show that our Fengwu Army attaches great importance to him. !”
"Our bottom line has not changed, that is, the Lu family must move out of Jiangnan and hand over the command of the army, but the Lu family's property in Jiangnan can be partially retained!"
"Beyond the bottom line, Su Yi, you can act cheaply, and you can make some appropriate concessions and compromises on some non-essential things!"
"Thank you, Marshal, for your trust! This time my subordinates go to the south of the Yangtze River, they will definitely fulfill their mission!"
Although he said thank you, Su Yi was very serious in his heart. He was still very cautious about the power given by Ye Mingsheng. After all, the final interpretation of the word "appropriate" was not with him, but with Ye Mingsheng. ······························
It doesn't matter whether he thinks it's appropriate or not, but what matters is that Ye Mingsheng thinks it's appropriate!
After talking about the details again, Ye Mingsheng thought that Su Yi was about to leave, but he didn't expect that Su Yique would still stand there to see this. Ye Mingsheng asked again:
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Su Yi nodded and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Commander Gao Shen sent me a letter, hoping that I can come and persuade Commander to give him more time. He is now working hard to complete the tasks assigned to him by Commander!"
Hearing Su Yi mention Gao Shen, Ye Mingsheng also looked at him with interest, and then continued:
"So Su Yi, are you going to plead for Gao Shen?"
Ye Mingsheng knew very well about the overt and covert fight between Gao Shen and Su Yi in the Foreign Affairs Bureau. This was also his intention!
The reason why Gao Shen was promoted in the first place was that Ye Mingsheng felt that he was a useful person who was very capable of entrusting matters to him and that he could complete the tasks very well. On the other hand, Ye Mingsheng wanted to give Su Yi some sense of crisis and let her Don't be too slack in his work at the Foreign Affairs Bureau!
After promoting Gao Shen, things were similar to what Ye Mingsheng imagined. Although Gao Shen and Su Yi had some overt and covert struggles over power, overall the competition between the two was positive and benign, and there was no stumbling block between them. Such a bad situation······················
So seeing that the effect was pretty good, Ye Mingsheng did not change the situation and let the Foreign Affairs Bureau continue to maintain the status quo!
In fact, a few days ago, Gao Shen also sent a memorial to Ye Mingsheng hoping to postpone his return to Yi Jing to report on his work. Naturally, Ye Mingsheng understood Gao Shen's little thoughts at a glance!
But to be honest, Ye Mingsheng has not yet decided whether to agree to Gao Shen's request!
Although there was something like the alliance before, Ye Mingsheng basically thinks that Gao Shen's work on grassland affairs is acceptable!
As for Gao Shen's bribery, Ye Mingsheng actually knew about it, because considering the danger and particularity of Gao Shen's work, as long as Gao Shen didn't go too far, Ye Mingsheng would pretend that he didn't know about it. If it is clear, there will be no fish, and sometimes it is still difficult to be confused!
But pretending not to know does not mean that Ye Mingsheng can ignore Gao Shen's bribery. There is a big difference between the two!
You are sneaky, hiding something so that no one knows about it, and Ye Mingsheng doesn't bother to care about you, but if someone exposes you, Ye Mingsheng can't turn a blind eye. After all, corruption in the Fengwu Army cannot be exposed. Touch the red line!
So in fact, this time Gao Shen was asked to come back to report on his work. Although the report and transfer had not yet begun, Ye Mingsheng had already decided on the ending for Gao Shen!
Because Gao Shen has not been greedy much these years, and considering that he has been working hard and sleeping on the grassland for the cause of the Fengwu Army... ·······
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng was not prepared to take his life, but he could not escape the death penalty. First, he must recover the stolen money, and then demote Gao Shen to a commoner!
Ye Mingsheng thought that he could live up to Gao Shen by doing this, but he didn't expect that this guy wanted to make up for his fault. What surprised Ye Mingsheng even more was that Su Yi took the initiative to mention this matter to him today!
Facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Su Yi said in a deep voice:
"I don't intend to plead for the High Commissioner in my humble position, but my plea for the High Commissioner in my humble position has some merit!"
After saying this, Su Yi felt very uneasy because she didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was thinking, and quietly observed Ye Mingsheng's face.
At this time, Ye Mingsheng was expressionless and waved his hand to signal Su Yi to continue.
“The High Commissioner has always been in charge of the Dashuai grassland affairs. The High Commissioner is very knowledgeable about grassland affairs and is very good at dealing with grassland ministries. He has maintained good and smooth communication channels with all the people on the grassland. In this area, In this regard, there is no one in the entire Foreign Affairs Bureau who is superior!"
"So if the High Commissioner is allowed to return to Yijing to report on his duties now, things on the grassland will inevitably be affected, and may even stagnate!"
"So in order to successfully complete the tasks assigned by you, Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief, you may consider asking the High Commissioner to postpone his return to Yijing to report on his work... ··”
Su Yi hesitated for a moment at the end, but remembering all the past conflicts with Gao Shen, he gritted his teeth and added:
"The High Commissioner is your old minister, the Marshal. I believe in the High Commissioner's loyalty to the Fengwu Army and to you, the Marshal!"
Ye Mingsheng was originally very pleased with Su Yi's speech just now. He felt that it was very rare for Su Yi to consider the overall situation this time. He even began to consider whether Su Yi could remove him from his position if he succeeded in the Jiangnan matter. That subtitle makes him the real leader of the Foreign Affairs Bureau!
But his last addition made Ye Mingsheng very disappointed. At first glance, this sentence seemed innocent, but combined with his admiration for Gao Shen's contacts in the grassland at the beginning, it couldn't help but remind people If Gao Shen refuses to return to Yijing immediately to report his work this time, he may defect!
Ye Mingsheng didn't like Su Yi's clever little tricks, which was one of the reasons why Ye Mingsheng didn't straighten him up!
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was still silent, Su Yi also realized that he might have said the wrong thing. Just when he was in a state of confusion and was about to say something to make up for himself, Ye Mingsheng's eyes were cold and he waved at him. He waved his hand to signal that he could go!
In this regard, Su Yi regretted more and more that she shouldn't have said the last words, but at this point, there was no way to change things. He could only bow and retreat from Ye Mingsheng's study in regret... ·······················
································
································
While Ye Mingsheng and Su Yi were discussing things in the study, An Miaoyi brought Jingren to Ye Cui's courtyard.
"Mom, Jingren and I are here!"
"My grandson Jingren, I would like to pay my respects to my grandmother!"
As soon as he saw Mrs. Ye Cui, Jing Ren immediately approached her. Mrs. Ye Cui was also very happy to see her favorite eldest grandson. She immediately helped Jing Ren up and then asked with concern about Jing Ren's current situation. !
Although Mrs. Ye Cui now has four grandsons: Jingren, Jingxuan, Jingcheng, and Jing Heng, Mrs. Ye Cui is particularly partial to Jingren, her eldest grandson, probably because she loves houses and birds. For Jingxuan, Jing Cheng and Jing Heng are relatively indifferent!
For this reason, there are actually some rumors in the house that the old lady is partial. Only Jingren is her biological grandson, and the other three were picked up by the old lady from nowhere, because it is said that there is a certain person involved in this matter. Madam has cried several times in private!
The grandfather and grandson were close to each other for a while. Jing Rencai sat aside and concentrated on eating the pastries specially prepared for him by Mrs. Ye Cui. And An Miaoyi finally had the opportunity to chat with Mrs. Ye Cui for a while!
Looking at An Miaoyi's slightly haggard face, Mrs. Ye Cui also felt a little distressed. After all, in addition to being her daughter-in-law, An Miaoyi was also her niece. With this relationship, she would inevitably have feelings for An Miaoyi. Some special preferences!
After hesitating for a while, Ye Cui asked An Miaoyi:
"Miaoyi, has Mingsheng been to your place since he came back from Luo'an this time?"
Hearing Mrs. Ye Cui say this, An Miaoyi's eyes were filled with sadness and grievance appeared in her heart. She didn't say anything and just shook her head!
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye Cui couldn't help but sigh and said with pity:
"It's hard for you kid!"
As soon as these words came out, An Miaoyi couldn't bear it anymore, and two lines of tears fell down her face. Ye Mingsheng also had the experience of leading troops on many expeditions in the past!
But every time Ye Mingsheng comes to see her on the first night after returning home in triumph, to show An Miaoyi's honor as the eldest lady, but this time is the exception!
Ye Mingsheng not only didn't come to see her on the first night, but he hadn't come to see her for a month since he returned home, and he didn't even say a word to her!
Because there were a lot of rumors about this matter in the house, and this kind of cold violence was also torture, An Miaoyi was in great pain. She had all kinds of grievances in her heart and wanted to tell Ye Mingsheng!
She would rather Ye Mingsheng beat her and scold him than torture her in this way...
