Chapter 1269 The eldest lady’s regret!

An Miaoyi has not been sleeping well recently and often suffers from insomnia. After hearing the news that Murong Yuliang was promoted to Governor of Jianghuai, she was extremely angry. She totally did not understand why Ye Mingsheng did this!

Murong Yuliang, that bastard, was dismissed from his post as the governor of Huainan two months ago because of the Xie Wenjun incident. How come he has made a comeback in less than three months? And not only has he made a comeback, this old bastard has even been promoted!
Although in terms of rank, Murong Yuliang's position as the Jianghuai Governor was still the same second-rank official as the previous Huainan Provincial Governor, but in terms of power, Murong Yuliang's position was much greater this time. In the name of the Governor, he controlled the affairs of Jiangnan and Huainan, which was unprecedented in the history of the Fengwu Army!

After becoming the Governor of Jianghuai, Murong Yuliang is undoubtedly the number one official in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can even be said that Murong Yuliang has reached the peak of his life!

An Miaoyi had no idea why Ye Mingsheng would insist on making such a decision. When she heard the news that Murong Yuliang was dismissed, she was very happy. She felt that even if Ye Mingsheng did not pursue more joint liability for Murong Yuliang, given Murong Yuliang's age and the fact that he had fallen into such a setback, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback in the future!

It is even possible that Murong Yuliang will become depressed from then on, and may even die of illness, and the Murong family may also never recover from this!
It was precisely because of this idea that An Miaoyi did not continue to arrange for the censors to impeach Murong Yuliang. Although under Ye Mingsheng's warning, An Miaoyi rarely interfered in government affairs, but for her, arranging for the censors of two Metropolitan Censors was a piece of cake...

At that time, An Miaoyi thought that it would be difficult for Murong Yuliang to make a comeback, and if she arranged for the censor to impeach him, it would most likely be superfluous and would make Ye Mingsheng dislike him, so An Miaoyi let Murong Yuliang go. But now, seeing the news that Murong Yuliang had been promoted to the Governor of Jianghuai, An Miaoyi felt extremely regretful and annoyed why she was so soft-hearted!

If An Miaoyi knew that Murong Yuliang would make a comeback so soon and be promoted to the Governor of Jianghuai, she would arrange two imperial censors to bite Murong Yuliang to death, even if it meant being disliked by Ye Mingsheng, and to hold Murong Yuliang accountable for more joint responsibilities in the Xie Wenjun incident.

Although it is possible to do so now and arrange several censors and other officials to write a joint memorial to impeach Murong Yuliang, but Ye Mingsheng's order has been issued and Murong Yuliang has officially taken office as the Governor of Jianghuai. The timing is a little late, and it is likely to be difficult to remove Murong Yuliang from the position of Governor of Jianghuai!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but hit the bed with her pink fist in the dark.

"Boom!"

This time, An Miaoyi used a lot of strength, as if she was not hitting the bed, but Ye Mingsheng's chest!

The maidservant waiting outside the house heard the noise in the room and immediately came over to look at An Miaoyi and asked:

"lady?"

An Miaoyi waved her hand when she heard that, and the maid bowed and retreated.

An Miaoyi, who still couldn't sleep after the maid left, also sat up from the bed. In the darkness, An Miaoyi's pale face showed a little worry····················

Murong Yuliang's promotion to the governor of Jianghuai is certainly hateful, but An Miaoyi is more worried about the deeper meaning behind this incident!

It took only a little over two months, less than three months, for Murong Yuliang to be dismissed from the position of Huainan Governor and then take up the post of Jianghuai Governor!

An Miaoyi had no idea what had happened to Ye Mingsheng who was far away in Jiangnan that made Ye Mingsheng make such a drastic decision in such a short time, but during this period of time, something big and small happened in the Ye Mansion!

What happened was that Murong Qingwu gave birth to a son for Ye Mingsheng!
Having been with Ye Mingsheng for many years, An Miaoyi felt that based on her understanding of Ye Mingsheng, she did not think that Ye Mingsheng would be so pleased with the Murong family just because Murong Qingwu gave birth to a son that he would promote Murong Yuliang, who had just been dismissed, back!

Although An Miaoyi felt that Ye Mingsheng would not do such a thing, based on the information currently known, An Miaoyi believed that nothing else could make Ye Mingsheng make such a contrasting decision!
At this moment, a sentence emerged in An Miaoyi's mind. When they were on their honeymoon, Ye Mingsheng taught her a sentence: if you eliminate all the wrong options for one thing, even if the remaining answers are absurd, they are the truth of the matter!
Thinking about this sentence silently in her heart, An Miaoyi's eyes became a little moist. She thought that Ye Mingsheng no longer had many thoughts about Murong Qingwu over the years!

But I didn’t expect that Bai Yueguang is Bai Yueguang. In Ye Mingsheng’s heart, no one can compare to her. She just gave birth to a son and made Ye Mingsheng so happy...
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi's eyes flashed with regret again. At that time, Ye Baode fabricated the news that Ye Kui and Murong Qingwu had an affair, and that the child in Murong Qingwu's belly was Ye Kui's fake news!
At first, An Miaoyi didn't think too much about it. She was in charge of the Ye Mansion. She knew that Ye Kui was always very well-behaved and basically never entered the backyard, and had no contact with Murong Qingwu. All of this was a lie made up by Ye Baode!

But later, someone quietly suggested to An Miaoyi that she should put the blame on Murong Qingwu. This was a very disgusting method for the female members of the family! Even if it was not true, rumors were very scary. If it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, it would be a big deal!

An Miaoyi can be said to have a deep understanding of this. Back then, a rumor was spread that she was the reincarnation of Bao Si. Because of this rumor, An Miaoyi suffered a lot. A good daughter of a wealthy family was avoided by many people because of this!
An Miaoyi was well aware of the lethality of this move, but in the end she did not adopt it. Instead, she beat the nanny who had advised her with a stick and sent her to prison for spreading evil words and misleading the public!
She did this not because An Miaoyi had noble character, but because she would not share the suffering she had gone through with other women. If possible, An Miaoyi would be happy to let Murong Qingwu feel the same way as she did, and taste the feeling of being wronged and extremely aggrieved...
The reason why An Miaoyi didn't do this was entirely because this matter involved Ye Mingsheng!
Saying that Ye Kui and Murong Qingwu had an affair, in other words, meant that Ye Mingsheng was cuckolded by Ye Kui and became a coward. This was a blow to Ye Mingsheng's always wise and brave image!
In addition, when Ye Baode rebelled, he did so under the banner of An Miaoyi. So even though An Miaoyi had warned Ye Mingsheng in advance and reported Ye Baode, there were still some people in the court who suspected that they had participated in Ye Baode's rebellion!

Moreover, there was no guarantee that Murong Qingwu would give birth to a son in the end, so An Miaoyi thought that making up this rumor was a risky and low-return undertaking. So of course she didn't do it!

However, if she had known at that time that Murong Qingwu not only gave birth to a son, but that this son was so favored by Ye Mingsheng, allowing Ye Mingsheng to reinstate Murong Yuliang, who had just been dismissed, in less than three months, and promoted him to the position of Governor of Jianghuai, An Miaoyi would definitely have reconsidered whether to do it or not!
What An Miaoyi is most worried about now is that Murong Yuliang’s promotion to the governor of Jianghuai is not an isolated case, but a signal of the Murong family’s rise!

You have to know that there is more than one Murong Yuliang in the Murong family, there are also Murong Hui and others. If these people gain power because of the birth of this little Ba, it would be really terrible!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi's beautiful eyes turned sinister in the darkness. She had missed many opportunities, so she didn't want to regret or feel remorseful anymore...
If things were really as she thought, even if it meant being punished by Ye Mingsheng, An Miaoyi wanted to nip the threat in the bud!
It was already late at night, and An Miaoyi, who was sitting on the bed, was also feeling sleepy. She lay down drowsily, not knowing how long she had slept. When she heard the faint sound of firecrackers outside, she was awakened from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and asked the maid outside the door with some displeasure:

"Who's setting off firecrackers outside?"

Facing An Miaoyi's question, the maid said without hesitation:
"They are the maids in Madam Murong's courtyard. They were very happy when they heard the news that Murong Yuliang was promoted to the governor of Jianghuai last night. Today, they specially arranged for someone to buy firecrackers from the morning market in Yijing!"

After these words were spoken, An Miaoyi's expression, which was not very good to begin with, became even colder.
Seeing An Miaoyi like this, the maid immediately added:

"Ma'am, Qiqige has gone to stop them from setting off firecrackers!"

Hearing the maid say this, An Miaoyi hesitated for a moment and then ordered:
"Go call Qiqige back. His promotion to the governor of Jianghuai is such a big event that we naturally have to celebrate it properly. It's just a few firecrackers, it's no big deal!"

As soon as these words came out, the maidservant's face was also surprised. She doubted whether what she heard was true. However, feeling An Miaoyi's cold gaze, the maidservant did not dare to ask the lady of the Ye Mansion to repeat her words, so she bowed and said quickly:
"Madam, I will go right away..."

····························
····························
Just when An Miaoyi was worried about Murong Yuliang's promotion to Governor of Jianghuai, Cui Shao also received the news in the morning.

As the de facto Prime Minister of the Yijing court, Cui Shao was well-informed. Not long after the Minister of Personnel received the news last night, the Cui Mansion had already received the news. However, because Cui Shao was old and went to bed early, Cui Fu, the steward of the Cui Mansion, did not tell Cui Shao the news immediately. Instead, he waited until Cui Shao woke up in the morning before telling him the news!

Cui Shao was also very surprised at the news that Murong Yuliang was promoted to the Governor of Jianghuai. He did not expect that Ye Mingsheng would reinstate Murong Yuliang so quickly!

However, after careful consideration, Cui Shao felt that Ye Mingsheng's decision, although unexpected, seemed reasonable. As the Minister of Revenue, Cui Shao had always been paying close attention to Ye Mingsheng's southern tour, so he knew that Ye Mingsheng encountered many problems during his southern tour and dealt with many people!
Dealing with people is very simple, but the key to the problem is that when one group of people goes down, another group will come up. When an old order is broken, a new order must be established. Moreover, the new order must be more perfect than the old one, otherwise there will be little point in breaking the original order!

At present, there are not many capable people available in the Yijing court. Zhang Zhiwen is the governor of Youyan, Ma Runchuan is the governor of Qilu, Zhao Wanxian is the governor of Jiyu, and they are all assigned to different positions. It seems that the only person Ye Mingsheng can use is Murong Yuliang who was just dismissed...

Despite this, Cui Shao still admired Ye Mingsheng's courage and determination. After all, although this was the truth, Murong Yuliang was dismissed not long ago. You let him come back so quickly and directly promoted him. This is very criticized!
Moreover, Murong Yuliang is Ye Mingsheng's father-in-law, and Murong Qingwu recently gave birth to a son. So even if no one says anything openly, there will definitely be people saying behind the scenes that Ye Mingsheng is nepotism, changing his orders every day, and treating state affairs as a child's play!

If Murong Yuliang fails to do a good job in Jianghuai, Ye Mingsheng will lose face and his prestige will suffer a certain blow!

Cui Shao asked himself that if they switched places, he did not have the courage and determination that Ye Mingsheng had, and he would not let Murong Yuliang become the governor of Jianghuai!

However, Ye Mingsheng's move is a risky one, just like when he promoted Zhao Wanxian. Although there are great risks, the benefits are also huge!
If Murong Yuliang can do well in Jianghuai and really achieve some results, it will not only be a great comeback for him, but also a proud thing for Ye Mingsheng, proving that Ye Mingsheng has a unique vision and the ability to judge people!
Ye Mingsheng won the bet on Zhao Wanxian. Zhao Wanxian did a great job as the governor of Liaoyang. Not only did he complete the targets set by the court, but he also promoted the economy of Liaoyang and improved the living standards of the people of Liaoyang, which completely proved his ability!
Thinking of this, Cui Shao was also looking forward to how Murong Yuliang would perform in Jianghuai. Although Murong Yuliang did a good job in Jiyu, things are different now. It is difficult for the Yijing court to fully support him as before, but the burden on him is heavier...
