While Ye Mingsheng was dealing with government affairs one after another in the study, Ye Cheng also came in and reported to Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, Lord Gu Sansi Gu has arrived..."
Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and continued to lower his head to annotate the memorial in his hand. Seeing this, Ye Cheng immediately led Gu Sansi into the study. Gu Sansi, who wanted to greet him, saw that Ye Mingsheng was still writing furiously. , did not interrupt, but stood silently aside, waiting for Ye Mingsheng to finish correcting the memorial.
After half a cup of tea, Ye Mingsheng finally finished writing the annotation, then handed it to Ye Cheng and said:
"Send to the Chief Secretary of Liaoyang!"
"yes!"
Hearing the words "Chief Secretary of Liaoyang", a fleeting look flashed in Gu Sansi's eyes, but he soon returned to normal.
After Ye Cheng left, Gu Sansi bowed to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"For your humble job, please see the commander-in-chief!"
"No gifts!"
After the ceremony, Ye Mingsheng also went straight to the point and asked:
"Think twice about coming to you this time. I want to hear your opinion on how to deal with the aftermath of this rebellion!"
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Gu thought about it carefully and said very cautiously:
"Commander, most of the people involved in the rebellion this time are military personnel, so I think, Commander, you should listen to the opinions of the staff and generals... ·····》
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he glanced at Gu Sansi and understood that Gu Sansi did not want to express his position easily on this matter, but he still said calmly:
"You are right to think twice. We should listen to the opinion of the staff on this matter, but now I just want to hear what you, the Minister of Staff, think about it!"
Gu Sansi also felt a little hesitant when he heard this. After hesitating for a while, he carefully said:
"I believe that the imperial court has just got on the right track and it is not appropriate to launch a large-scale prison massacre. In addition, many middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers who participated in the rebellion this time have no rebellious intentions. They were just deceived by Ye Baode and thought that you, Commander-in-Chief, were really in danger. That’s why people take advantage of you out of desperation!”
After speaking, Gu Sansi raised his head and observed the change in Ye Mingsheng's expression. He knew how to deal with this matter. The staff, Yuan Song and other senior generals of the Fengwu Army unanimously expressed their intention to remove them from time. Deal with it severely. All the memorials were handed over to Ye Mingsheng five days ago!
But after their memorial was sent, there was no movement, so based on this, Gu Sansi boldly guessed that Ye Mingsheng did not want to go on a killing spree!
In addition to trying to figure out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts and ideas, Gu Sansi really felt that Ye Mingsheng no longer needed to kill people to establish his power, but should show tolerance and kindness... ·······
Listening to the opinions given by Gu Sansi, Ye Mingsheng continued to preach without expression:
"Tell me specifically what you think!"
Looking at Ye Mingsheng's unwavering expression, Gu Sansi couldn't figure out whether he had guessed Ye Mingsheng's thoughts correctly, but in the face of Ye Mingsheng's questioning, he could only continue:
"Commander, I suggest that we only kill Huang Can, Yang Guoxu and other close associates of Ye Baode this time. These people are unforgivable. Their homes will be ransacked and no one will be spared!"
"But those officials and soldiers who were deceived by Ye Baode should be spared with small punishments and big warnings, so that they can feel the great grace of your Majesty!"
After listening to Gu Sansi's words, Ye Mingsheng also nodded and said:
"Think twice, what you said is very good and makes sense!"
"Ye Baode forged Ye Tie's token and made some bullshit clothing and belt edict. Some people were concerned and believed it to be true. Although these people are also wrong, I think they can be forgiven!"
"For these middle- and lower-level soldiers who were deceived by Ye Baode, my idea this time is not to arrest any of them and not to kill any of them. Even so, their mistakes must still be punished. Let them be transferred from Yi Jing to guard the border!"
Gu Sansi
Hearing this, he also complimented:
"The Marshal is so generous, I believe these people will be grateful, and the Marshal's name of benevolence will be praised by the world... ····》
Seeing Gu Sansi put a high hat on himself, Ye Mingsheng also waved his hand and said:
"I called you here today. I mainly want to hear if you have any recommendations for the position of Chief Minister Youyan?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Sansi's mind immediately came to mind. The five words "Chief Secretary of Liaoyang" that Ye Mingsheng originally said appeared in his mind, and an idea immediately came to his mind!
The marshal has always admired Zhao Wanxian, the chief envoy of Liaoyang, so this time the position of chief minister of Youyan is vacant. Does the marshal intend to help Zhao Wanxian take the position?
Realizing this, Gu Sansi couldn't help but frown slightly. He admitted that Zhao Wanxian was indeed a very rare talent. Judging from his current achievements in Liaoyang, Ye Mingsheng made an exception when he was just a political participant and promoted him to become the Bu of Liaoyang. The Political Envoy is the right choice!
But Gu Sansi has some opinions on Zhao Wanxian. He believes that although Zhao Wanxian is outstanding, he may be relatively frivolous due to his age and is not calm enough on some key issues. In addition, in some jobs in Liaoyang, he also There is a problem of being eager for success and overachieving!
Therefore, Gu Sansi believes that Zhao Wanxian should stay in the position of Chief Envoy of Liaoyang for a few more years, practice and practice for a period of time, and then consider further development in his official career!
Thinking of this, Gu Sansi also considered his words:
"Commander, I don't have a suitable candidate to recommend for a while, but I think that the position of Chief Envoy Youyan is extraordinary, and a mature and prudent person should be responsible for this important task..." ·········》
Although Gu Sansi's words were very tactful, when he heard Gu Sansi mention the words "mature and prudent", Ye Mingsheng was also keenly aware of what Gu Sansi seemed to be hinting at him!
To be honest, Ye Mingsheng did have an interest in Zhao Wanxian, the chief envoy of Liaoyang, for the position of chief envoy of Youyan. After all, Zhao Wanxian did make him look good. In the face of the report card Zhao Wanxian produced now, all the people who originally opposed and questioned Ye Mingsheng's exceptional promotion were stunned. Mouth!
Although he admires Zhao Wanxian very much, Ye Mingsheng also knows that Zhao Wanxian does have some problems, but he thinks that there is nothing wrong with people who are not saints?
In the face of dazzling enough achievements, some problems can be ignored. Just like some senior officials in the Yijing court today, who are nostalgic for feasting and feasting, and have sex in brothels. Ye Mingsheng also knows it all, but as long as If you don't do too much and it doesn't affect your work, Ye Mingsheng will just pretend that you don't know!
Although he is very optimistic about Zhao Wanxian, transferring Zhao Wanxian to Youyan as the chief envoy is currently just an idea of Ye Mingsheng. Ye Mingsheng has not yet made his final decision!
In order to make a more appropriate decision, Ye Mingsheng also asked Cui Shao for his opinion yesterday, and Cui Shao's opinion was similar to that of Gu Sansi today. Although he did not directly say that Zhao Wanxian was not good, the meaning behind his words was that he was not optimistic. Zhao Wanxian now takes over as Chief Secretary of Youyan······················
Although there were some doubts as to why Gu Sansi and Cui Shao maintained an astonishing agreement on this issue, seeing that the two pillars of the Yijing court were not optimistic about Zhao Wanxian taking over now, Ye Mingsheng thought about it and decided to follow the good path:
"In that case, please think twice and draw up a candidate list as soon as possible, and then we can discuss it at Zhongyong Hall after a while!"
"The affairs of Chief Secretary Youyan cannot be left without someone in charge. The Chief Secretary must be elected as soon as possible!"
As soon as these words came out, Sansi felt relieved and immediately said:
"I must do it as soon as possible after I return to my humble job!"
Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded slightly, and then the two chatted about some personnel issues, and Gu Sansi said goodbye and left.
After Gu Sansi left, Ye Mingsheng also found the memorial from the desk drawer that Zhu Xiaowen, the minister of Dali Temple, had submitted some time ago.
Watching Zhu Xiaowen in the memorial, he dismissed Ye Fu from his post, ransacked his home, and demoted him to a commoner.
It was recommended that everyone serve three years of hard labor. Ye Mingsheng pondered for a while and then raised his pen to write the order!
The first order was to remove Ye Tie from his position as General of the Fifth Division and transfer Ye Tie to the Dongning Army Corps to be responsible for the defense of Dongning and its surrounding areas. The current Liaoyang Army General Zhang Gongyi was transferred to the Yijing Army Corps General!
The second order was to remove General Ye Fu of the 14th Division from all positions, confiscate all his illegal income, demote him to a commoner, and then go to Liaoyang to serve ten years of hard labor!
After writing these two orders, Ye Mingsheng looked at the ink on the paper that had not yet dried, and then sighed in a complicated way... ··

··························
Ye Mansion, in the small courtyard of Murong Qingwu
Ying'er quickly walked into Murong Qingwu's bedroom, smiled at Murong Qingwu who was lying on the bed and said:
"Madam, there is another message from the Attendant Department, saying that the Marshal is coming to rest at night!"
After listening to Ying'er's words, the sadness in Murong Qingwu's expression also eased. Seeing this, Ying'er couldn't help but smile and said:
"Before, there were people in the mansion who were talking nonsense, saying that your favor, Madam, would be affected by this incident, but now it seems that they are all nonsense!"
"After experiencing this incident, the commander-in-chief's favor towards you, madam, has only increased. As the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. In my opinion, after experiencing this incident, the relationship between the commander-in-chief and your wife has become even better." building!"
Murong Qingwu smiled and shook her head when she heard this, but she didn't say anything else. Although Ying'er was very optimistic, a friend in need was a friend indeed!
But Murong Qingwu was not so optimistic. She knew that Ye Mingsheng stayed at her place continuously after the incident, just to use practical actions to eliminate the negative impact of the rumors. It was not as beautiful as Ying'er thought, and neither did Ye Mingsheng. Because of this, I will feel even more pity for myself!
The only thing that comforted Murong Qingwu was that Ye Mingsheng did not change his attitude towards her and her unborn child just because of the rumors, as she feared.
Ye Mingsheng was still as gentle and considerate to her as before. Even if he accidentally disturbed her sleep at night, Ye Mingsheng still remained patient and showed no dissatisfaction... ···
Although he and Ye Mingsheng lacked a strong relationship with you, when he thought that Ye Mingsheng, the de facto "emperor" of the Great Zhou Dynasty, could treat him like this, Murong Qingwu felt that he had married the right person!
Just when Murong Qingwu was looking for a book to read and kill some boring time, Ying'er came to Murong Qingwu's side and said:
"Madam, I think that although An Miaoyi, a bad woman, reported Ye Baode's conspiracy to the commander-in-chief, she certainly did not report it as soon as she got the news!"
"I think An Miaoyi must have weighed the pros and cons before deciding to report Ye Baode's rebellion to the commander!"
Upon hearing the news, Murong Qingwu's beautiful eyes flashed with light, and then she asked Ying'er calmly:
"What evidence do you have?"
Ying'er shook her head awkwardly and said:
"I don't have any evidence in my hands. I just heard that Ye Baode named An Miaoyi. Everyone in the house knew that An Miaoyi, a bad woman, wanted the commander to make her son the prince. So this time Ye Baode wanted to If she wants to help her son take over, I think An Miaoyi will be tempted!"
Thinking of this, Ying'er looked forward to Murong Qingwu and asked:
"Madam! You said that I can think of it, so the Marshal must be able to think of it, right? An Miaoyi, a bad woman, must have thought about conspiring with Ye Baode, but she felt that the possibility of success was unlikely, so she reported Ye Baode to the Marshal ··················》
Listening to Ying'er's serious speculation, Murong Qingwu smiled and shook his head and said:
"Do you think An Miaoyi is just like a silly girl like you? Are you still conspiring with Ye Baode? You underestimate An Miaoyi!"
Seeing that her speculation was directly rejected by her wife, Ying'er looked very embarrassed, and this
Shi Murong Qingwu closed her eyes and said calmly:
"Ying'er, you only have one thing to say right. An Miaoyi will definitely weigh the pros and cons!"
"An Miaoyi can see very clearly that although Ye Baode seems to be trying to help Jingren ascend to power, in fact, he is probably trying to coerce the emperor to control the princes!"
"So An Miaoyi will never conspire with Ye Baode, and I think An Miaoyi probably doesn't have the courage or willingness to murder the commander!"
"But An Miaoyi must have thought about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight to see if Ye Baode can succeed. If Ye Baode succeeds, then An Miaoyi will be the eldest lady and have Jingren as her eldest son, and everyone will support her. An Miaoyi can destroy Ye Baode with a backhand!"
"Then Jingren can legitimately inherit the position of commander-in-chief, and she, An Miaoyi, can listen to politics from behind the curtain, and the power of the Fengwu Army will completely fall into the hands of her and Cui Shao!"
"Ye Baode can't even control Ye Fu. If he wants to rebel, he has to do it in the name of rescuing the commander. He is doomed to fail from the beginning!"
"So with An Miaoyi's shrewdness, she will definitely not conspire with such a person, she will only use such a person as a pawn... ·······》
