In addition to eliminating Sun Jing'an, Ma Runchuan's appointment as Qilu Chief Envoy is also an acceptable decision in Ye Mingsheng's view... ··
Gu Sansi was right. Ma Runchuan's ability was indeed worthy of recognition. Moreover, he had been in Qilu for several years and was very familiar with the local situation in Qilu. If he parachuted others to Qilu, he would need to be familiar with the situation. short time.
In fact, when Ma Runchuan was asked to serve as deputy chief envoy to Qilu, Ye Mingsheng actually wanted him to replace Sun Jing'an.
However, the logistics pressure was tight due to successive battles at the front, so when Sun Jingan performed well, Ye Mingsheng did not touch him!
As for what Ye Mingsheng said just now about the Coordination Office's involvement in Ma Runchuan's book, it was actually Ye Mingsheng who was trying to trick Gu Sansi. He wanted to see if Gu Sansi's attitude was firm!
Ye Mingsheng was basically satisfied with Gu Sansi's reaction. Ye Mingsheng was very clear about Ma Runchuan's problems. Ma Runchuan could still handle the principle issues clearly, but in some details, Ma Runchuan still failed to stick to the bottom line!
So this time Ye Mingsheng wanted Gu Sansi to restrain his senior brother and see if Gu Sansi could control Ma Runchuan!
Ye Mingsheng believes that if you want to be the leader of officials, you must not only be strong yourself, but also be able to set an example and restrain the people below you!
Cui Shao had done pretty well before, but the outbreak of Liu Zhengyue's case made Ye Mingsheng a little disappointed.
In addition, Ma Runchuan is also one of the helpers Ye Mingsheng plans to leave to Gu Sansi. Ye Mingsheng has high hopes for Gu Sansi, hoping that he can become a stabilizing needle for the new dynasty and balance the situation in the court. In order to achieve this goal, Gu Sansi alone can People are not enough, he also needs helpers!
So Ma Runchuan is a good choice. He is capable but not too ambitious, and has a good relationship with Gu Sansi... ··

Sichuan and Sichuan, evening
On Sanmen Ridge, the only road from Rongcheng to Jianmen, a horse team of more than a hundred people was galloping towards Jianmen.
The one who is being admired by the stars in the cavalry team is none other than Zhang Zhe, the current commander-in-chief of Jianmen. Just yesterday, it was revealed that a certain unit of the Sichuan-Shu Army was embezzled by their superiors because of their military pay. Some soldiers of the Sichuan-Shu Army resold ordnance in order to make a living. Sell the firearms and armor in your hands to some landlords in exchange for food.
Because of this incident, Song Weijie was also furious. The governor of Sichuan and Sichuan could not imagine that at this tense juncture, his Sichuan-Shu army would have such extremely bad problems.
For this reason, Song Weijie also severely dealt with the generals involved, and in order to prevent such things from happening again, Song Weijie asked his cronies to prepare to go to various places in Sichuan and Sichuan to inspect combat readiness!
In order to attract the attention of his subordinates, Song Weijie also specifically stated that during this inspection, he would be heavily rewarded for good performance, and heavy punishment for poor performance. No matter who it was, he would not tolerate it!
The first stop Song Weijie sent to inspect was undoubtedly the strategic place in Sichuan and Sichuan, the gateway to Chengdu - Jianmen!
Zhang Zhe immediately panicked when he heard the news. Although he was the commander-in-chief of Jianmen and was given an important task by Song Weijie, he was not born in the army. He became a monk and joined the army halfway... ············
Therefore, Zhang Zhe did not understand the art of battle formation at all. The reason why he was able to become the general soldier of Jianmen and command tens of thousands of soldiers of the Sichuan and Shu Army was largely due to his flattery to Song Weijie!
Also, the position of Jianmen is very important. Song Weijie needs someone he can trust, so he promoted Zhang Zhe to this position!
As the chief soldier of Jianmen, Zhang Zhe was supposed to be stationed at Jianmen permanently. However, although Jianmen is an important military area, it is very desolate and has almost no entertainment. In addition, Zhang Zhe knows nothing about military affairs, so he He was too lazy to take care of military affairs and left everything to his subordinates.
Therefore, Zhang Zhe, who was named the General Soldier of Jianmen, was actually stationed in Rongcheng. He was either thinking about how to please Song Weijie, how to flatter him, or he was enjoying himself, and only occasionally went back to Jianmen to take a look.
Therefore, seeing Song Weijie being so angry and paying so much attention to combat readiness this time, Zhang Zhe was also a little panicked. He immediately led people to rush to Jianmen to see what the combat readiness of Jianmen was like.
Although he, Mr. Zhang, basically has no control over Jianmen's combat readiness, after all, he is now the chief soldier of Jianmen. If there is a problem with Jianmen's combat readiness, he will not be able to bear the consequences... ····················
Although Zhang Zhe wanted to fly to Jianmen as soon as possible at this moment, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the cavalry team had traveled dozens of miles, and everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, so the people on the side were exhausted The guard couldn't help but persuade;
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief, I remembered that there is an inn ahead of you. Let's rest for a night before setting off!"
When Zhang Zhe heard this, he instinctively wanted to refuse, but his body had long been drained by alcohol and sex. Before, he was able to keep going only because of his energy.
By this time, his anger had almost dissipated, so before he could say the rejection, Zhang Zhe hesitated in his heart.
Seeing the hesitation on Zhang Zhe's face, the guard also understood that there was something wrong, and immediately warned again:
"Master General, we are only about thirty miles away from Jianmen now. It is not safe to walk on the mountain road at night. Let's go to the inn in front and have a good night's rest. We will hit the road at dawn tomorrow and we can practice sword fighting at noon. Door, the time is completely enough!”
Zhang Zhe was completely moved by these words. He nodded slightly and said:
"Just what you say!"
"Okay! I'll show you the way, little one!"
After burning the incense, Zhang Zhe and others came to the door of an inn. Looking at the shabby and simple environment of the inn, Zhang Zhe couldn't help but frown, with a look of disgust on his face. He had an esophagus in Rongcheng, where could he still have his esophagus? I like this little inn in the wilderness...
However, when he thought that there were no other inns in Sanmenling, and if he didn't stay in this inn, he would have to camp outside, Zhang Zhe had no choice but to hold back his disgust and asked the innkeeper to arrange the best inn for him. After arranging the best banquet in the nice room and bringing it out, he was very hungry after traveling for several hours.
At Zhang Zhe's request, the shopkeeper soon brought a plate of twice-cooked pork, a plate of Mapo tofu, a plate of Kung Pao chicken, and two bowls of rice, even though this was already the best thing in this small inn. The food was delicious, but Zhang Zhe, who was used to eating delicacies from all over the world, was still a little dissatisfied.
However, he was still dissatisfied. Zhang Zhe knew in his mind that if he didn't eat this, he would have to eat cold and hard dry food, so in the end he still ate it with big mouthfuls while disgusting him.
After eating, Zhang Zhe just lay down on the bed to rest. The dozens of miles of journey today might not have been a big deal when he was young, but now his body has been almost exhausted by wine and sex, and his body has long been I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I fell on the bed.
I don't know how much time passed, but Zhang Zhe, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a chill on his face and woke up suddenly from his sleep. At this moment, he saw a tall, strange-looking man sitting on a chair in the room, smiling. Look at yourself························
Seeing the sudden appearance of this man, Zhang Zhe was shocked and subconsciously wanted to call someone to protect him.
However, Zhang Zhe is also a person who has seen the world. He quickly calmed down and realized that the other party had no ill intentions. Otherwise, the other party would have done it while he was sleeping, so he took a deep breath and clasped his fists with both hands. He said very sincerely:
"I wonder if your brother is a friend on that road? Why do you want to see Zhang today?"
The strange man also said leisurely when he heard this:
"I have always had a good relationship with Mr. Zhang, but you have come to visit us today. Please don't take offense to Mr. Zhang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man threw something to Zhang Zhe. Zhang Zhe stretched out his hand to catch it and saw a token in his hand. Under the moonlight outside the window, Zhang Zhe could clearly see that the front of the token was engraved with the Regulation Office. Three big characters, and on the north side of the token are the three characters Liu Baichuan!
Seeing this, Zhang Zhe couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Although he got this token that represented his identity, Zhang Zhe still didn't dare to recognize him rashly because his life and fortune were at stake. He immediately opened his mouth and said tentatively:
"Who are you and why did you come to me?"
Liu Baichuan, who came to visit late at night, naturally saw Zhang Zhe's probing intentions, and shook his head and said:
"General Zhang, you are too cautious. I am here because of your conditions..."
Seeing Liu Baichuan mention this, Zhang Zhe completely let down his guard and said straight to the point:
"In this case Liu Qianhu, are you ready to agree to my conditions?"
Liu Baichuan said directly:
"Training Envoy of the Sichuan-Sichuan Troops and Horses Regiment!"
Zhang Zhe frowned slightly when he heard this and said:
"This is a fifth-grade officer, and I am now the fourth-grade Sword Sect's general soldier!"
Liu Baichuan sneered when he heard this, then looked at Zhang Zhe and said:
"Master Zhang, you don't really want to continue to be an official, do you?"
"With all due respect, you know how much money Mr. Zhang has made over the years and how many girls he has harmed. It is already very good that this group trainer can keep your power for the rest of your life!"
Feeling the slightly mocking tone of Liu Baichuan in front of him, Zhang Zhe felt a little unhappy, but after thinking carefully about what Liu Baichuan said made sense, he immediately endured it and asked in a deep voice:
"When will the letter of appointment be delivered? Marshal Ye's signature and seal must be included! As soon as the letter of appointment is received, I can take action!"
Liu Baichuan heard this and said calmly:
"Master Zhang, if you want it, I can give it to you right now..."
Zhang Zhe was stunned for a moment when these words came out, and then he felt that he was being teased and said with a somewhat unkind expression:
"Liu Qianhu, what do you mean?"
Under Zhang Zhe's gaze, Liu Baichuan took out a piece of paper and threw it over again. When Zhang Zhe picked it up, he saw three large characters written on the paper in his hand: Letter of Appointment.
Then there are words such as appointing you as the training envoy of the Sichuan-Sichuan Regiment. It does have Ye Mingsheng's signature and seal on it, but the name column is empty!
Zhang Zhe was a little surprised to see this, but at this time Liu Baichuan continued;
"Before I came to Sichuan and Sichuan, I had foreseen today's situation, so I prepared a few blank letters of appointment, and then asked the commander to sign and seal them and brought them to Sichuan and Sichuan. I would fill in the names on them when needed. !”
Zhang Zhe couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this, hesitated and asked again:
"Is this effective?"
After hearing this, Liu Baichuan preached without thinking:
"Of course! As you can see, Mr. Zhang, our Marshal Ye's signature and seal are on it. This cannot be fake!"
"I don't have the guts to lie! After all, this is a serious crime of decapitation, but I, Liu Baichuan, still want to live a good life!"
After Zhang Zhe heard this and thought about it, he also felt that what Liu Baichuan said made sense. After all, forging the lord's signature and seal was a felony no matter where he put it. Liu Baichuan seemed to have no reason to do such a thing... ···········
Seeing that Zhang Zhe had taken the bait, Liu Baichuan continued to speak:
"And Mr. Zhang, think about it carefully. It's thousands of miles from Rongcheng to Yi Jing, but I walked for several months to get there. If I send the news back to Yi Jing, and Yi Jing sends the news back, then It only takes half a year, and the day lilies will be cold by then!"
"This is also the reason why the commander-in-chief is willing to sign these blank letters of appointment for me. I am telling you, General Zhang, that these letters of appointment are very precious. I don't have many of them here, and I am also responsible for the commander-in-chief's signature and seal. I would never give it to ordinary people!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I didn't plan to give it to you originally, but who made Mr. Zhang your conditions too tempting?"
"General Zhang, tell me now what you plan to do? If you can persuade me, I will sign your name on this letter of appointment for you!"
At this moment, Zhang Zhe was also completely moved by Liu Baichuan. After a moment of hesitation, he handed over his biggest trump card.
"Governor Song's favorite concubine, Mrs. Wang, was sent in by me. She has something in my hands. I can let her poison Governor Song!"
Hearing what Zhang Zhe said, Liu Baichuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he thought for a moment and then said:
"General Zhang, are you sure you can have such a big influence on this Wang family?"
Liu Baichuan nodded, and then said directly without any concealment:
"This Mrs. Wang has a pair of children. When Governor Song occupied her, she asked me to make these two oil bottles. Mrs. Wang begged me hard, so I relented and quietly kept them two... ·····················”
