Chapter 132: Ye Mingsheng's Background
Hearing the name "Ye Mingsheng", Chen Dechang seemed to have remembered something, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
"Mr. Bai, are you talking about the one who had a falling out with Xu Zhaojie, the leader of the Zhenwu Army, Ye Mingsheng?"
"That's right! That's him!" Bai Renxuan nodded.
"Sir, did you drink this wine with him?" After receiving the answer, Chen Dechang undoubtedly frowned more tightly and continued to ask:
Possibly because of drinking, Bai Renxuan's reaction was a little slow and he didn't notice the change in Chen Dechang's expression. He was still talking to himself:
"I really didn't expect this person to come back and look for me. With his presence, Lord Marquis, you can sit back and relax when dealing with Wang Muzhi and let the two of them go dog-eat-dog..."
After thinking carefully for a while, Chen Dechang didn't understand what Bai Renxuan said. How could Ye Mingsheng, a small seventh-grade commander, be able to sit back and relax against Wang Muzhi, a senior fourth-grade commander.
Although he felt that what Bai Renxuan said was a bit nonsense, Chen Dechang did not point it out directly, but said tactfully: "Mr. Bai, this has offended Ye Mingsheng's boss Xu Zhaojie too much. If he is arranged, he will definitely
Make Xu Zhaojie unhappy!"
Hearing what Chen Dechang said, Bai Renxuan understood what Chen Dechang meant even though he was slow to react. It happened that at this time, the servant of the Hou Mansion also brought over a bowl of warm sobering soup.
Bai Renxuan did not rush to explain, but drank all the sobering soup while thinking. After the sobering soup had its effect and dispelled the alcohol in his body, he calmly analyzed it to Chen Dechang:
"When I finish speaking, it won't be too late for the Marquis to make a decision. From what I can see, this Ye Mingsheng was sent by God to give the Marquis a sharp weapon for you to conquer Liaoyang and check and balance Wang Muzhi!"
"Master Hou, do you know what the background of Ye Mingsheng is?"
Chen Dechang listened and saw that Bai Renxuan praised Ye Mingsheng so loudly. Naturally, he became interested in Ye Mingsheng. He pondered for a while and slowly said:
"I really don't know much about Ye Mingsheng. I just heard that he is from a poor family. He was able to hold the position of commander because he was born in the Zhaowu Camp of Lord Chief Assistant. I don't know the rest!"
Chen Dechang's words played into Bai Renxuan's hands. He smiled slightly and said somewhat mysteriously:
"Master Hou, you are right. This Ye Mingsheng is indeed from a poor family, but his mother is not from a poor family... This old woman's surname is Cui!"
"Cui family of Liaoyang?"
Chen Dechang, who had stayed in Liaoyang for several years, had a flash of light in his eyes, and he immediately realized the hint in Bai Renxuan's words.
"Your Excellency, your guess is correct. Ye Mingsheng's mother, the Cui family, is a member of the Cui family in Liaoyang. According to my investigation, this old lady is not an ordinary person. She comes from the sixth house of the Cui family. She was a member of the Cui family thirty years ago.
The granddaughter of Cui Xun, the magistrate of Guangning, Liaoyang, the fifth rank of Ren Zheng, was forced to marry Ye Mingsheng's father because of family changes, her family fell into decline and was ostracized by her tribe."
"The current head of the Cui family, Cui Shao, is also from the sixth house of the Cui family. He and Ye Mingsheng's mother are cousins, so there is this relationship. With Ye Mingsheng coming forward, the Zhenwu Army wants to go to Liaoyang.
If we want to obtain Cui's support, the possibility will be greatly increased..."
At the end, Bai Renxuan looked at Chen Dechang and couldn't help but emphasize his tone. After Chen Dechang listened to Bai Renxuan's words, Chen Dechang couldn't help but feel a hint of emotion on his old face.
Since he is not going to be Wang Muzhi's puppet, a mascot on the surface, then as the top officer of the Zhenwu Army and a third-grade commander, he needs to do something.
At present, the Zhenwu Army is established in Liaoyang. The first difficulty is the suppression from Song Wenhui, the governor of Liaoyang!
Chen Dechang, who had worked with Song Wenhui for many years in Liaoyang and had seen Song Wenhui's ruthless methods, naturally would not have any unrealistic illusions about his "old friend".
The key to breaking through Song Wenhui's suppression and the possibility that he might use underhanded tactics at any time is to obtain the support of the local aristocratic families in Liaoyang. Although the Gongsun family, one of the three clans in Liaoyang, has expressed its attitude and is willing to support the Zhenwu Army,
This is not enough...
If the Zhenwu Army wants to develop smoothly in Liaoyang, it also needs the support of the Cui family and the Yun family among the three clans in Liaoyang!
Compared with the Yun family who is die-hardly loyal to Song Wenhui, the Cui family, which is the most powerful and influential among the three clans in Liaoyang, is undoubtedly the top priority for the Zhenwu Army to fight for next!
Even if the support of the Cui family cannot be won, the Cui family cannot be allowed to side with Song Wenhui and join forces with Song Wenhui to suppress and fight against the Zhenwu Army.
In fact, ever since he realized what the Zhenwu Army was going to face next, Chen Dechang, as the commander, had been thinking about how he could get in touch with the Cui family and establish contact.
Although he was working in Liaoyang back then, he had met Cui Shao, the current head of the Cui family, many times, but they were just acquaintances and did not have any particularly deep contacts.
And Ye Mingsheng, who is related to the Cui family and was born in Zhaowu Camp, if he comes to the Zhenwu Army, he can undoubtedly serve as a bridge and a hub to connect the Zhenwu Army with the Cui family, and even the entire Liaoyang family!
If Ye Mingsheng really joins the Zhenwu Army and has a high-level official position, then there may be words and things that he, Chen Dechang, says or does in the future, but they may not be effective for Ye Mingsheng.
After all, although Chen Dechang holds a high position and is the commander of the Zhenwu Army, he is still an outsider, and the wealthy families in Liaoyang will not completely trust him.
And with Cui's relationship, Ye Mingsheng is likely to be regarded as one of the family members in Liaoyang. It will naturally be much more convenient for one of them to speak and do things, and there will be no need to have so many scruples...
··
After thinking carefully for a long time and carefully weighing the pros and cons, Chen Dechang gradually made a decision in his mind and asked Bai Renxuan in a deep voice:
"Then what official position does Ye Mingsheng hold now?"
Compared with offending Xu Zhaojie because of Ye Mingsheng, Chen Dechang undoubtedly paid more attention to how to better complete the tasks assigned by the chief assistant and let the Zhenwu Army be successfully established in Liaoyang. In the face of this overall situation, he could do
Make some trade-offs and even some sacrifices in personal interests.
