Chapter 725 Ye Mingsheng’s ambition!

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's praise for Xiao Jingxuan, Pei Zhixiu was not happy at all. On the contrary, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes...

Pei Zhixiu knew very well that among Ye Mingsheng's wives and concubines, she was the particularly favored one. The others, including An Miaoyi, were more or less jealous of her. If it weren't for Ye Mingsheng's protection, and if she hadn't always kept herself clean and aloof from the world, not getting involved in the power struggles in the mansion, she would probably have been eliminated by the others in the mansion long ago!

Ye Mingsheng now has three sons, Jingren born to An Miaoyi, Jingcheng born to Shen Yutong, and Jingxuan born to her. Although he already has three sons, Ye Mingsheng has never announced which son will be his heir in the future.

In this way, although Jingren is the eldest son and has a natural advantage in terms of etiquette and law, the other two sons may not be without opportunities.

Therefore, some people in the Fengwu Army wrote to Ye Mingsheng, suggesting that he establish a successor, but Ye Mingsheng ignored these people's suggestions.

This also made many people guess Ye Mingsheng's intentions, wondering whether Ye Mingsheng was dissatisfied with An Miaoyi and Jingren. In this case, if Ye Mingsheng expressed his love for Jingxuan, then an unexpected disaster might be imminent. Although Pei Zhixiu was not afraid, she did not want to bring trouble upon herself.

Family members know their own business. She knows very well that due to some relationships, some things are simply impossible··································
As if sensing Pei Zhixiu's worries, Ye Mingsheng touched her face and asked with a smile:

"Jixiu, do you know how old I am this year?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Pei Zhixiu said without hesitation:
"In one month, my husband, you will be turning thirty-three!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded upon hearing this, and said with some emotion:

"Yes, I will be thirty-three in one month. Time flies! It seems like I was in Luoan and Fengzhou yesterday. Zhixiu, do you still remember the jujube tree in the courtyard of Luoan?"

"Those dates are really sweet! I wanted to use them to make a date cake for you guys to taste, but before we could make the date cake, we had to travel thousands of miles to Fengzhou. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful!"

Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Pei Zhixiu also recalled the days when she and Ye Mingsheng were in Luoan, and a smile appeared on her face. Just when she was about to say something, she only heard Ye Mingsheng's voice in her ears.

"It won't be too late to make this date cake when we return to Luoan in a few years!"

Pei Zhixiu was moved when he heard this and said:

"Then I will wait to taste my husband's date cake!"

Ye Mingsheng smiled and hugged Pei Zhixiu in his arms, whispering in her ear:

“I have a plan. I want to unify the world before I turn forty! I will establish a new dynasty, ascend the throne and become emperor…”

Pei Zhixiu, as Ye Mingsheng's bedmate, was not surprised at all about his idea of ​​ascending the throne. However, there were only seven years left before Ye Mingsheng reached the age of forty, and the world still had the Luoan court, the Zhennan army, and the Jingchu regime that had not yet been unified. Time was very tight, so she felt that he was a little impatient for quick success and immediately dissuaded him tactfully:
"My husband, you are in your prime, at the height of your youth. Unifying the country and establishing a new dynasty is a great event for the ages, and we should let nature take its course. If we impose a time limit, it will put a lot of pressure on you, my husband!"

In response to Pei Zhixiu's admonition, Ye Mingsheng was silent for a while, and then he said slowly:
"Jisu, you're right, but I don't have much time!"

Pei Zhixiu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and the next second she grabbed Ye Mingsheng's wrist. Seeing her move, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Although Ye Mingsheng said so, Pei Zhixiu didn't listen at all. He carefully checked Ye Mingsheng's body and then punched Ye Mingsheng hard and said:

"Don't scare me anymore!"

Rubbing his chest, Ye Mingsheng said helplessly:

"It's your own occupational disease that leads to preconceived ideas!"

After saying this, Ye Mingsheng turned his head and looked out the window at the dark night, and said with some longing:
"Unifying the world and establishing a new dynasty is not the end! It's just a beginning!"

"I will use ten years to promote reforms to every corner of the Great Zhou, so that the world can regain its prosperity!"

“Once we have achieved this, it is time to send troops abroad. If we want to avoid internal circulation, we must enter the country and use overseas wealth and resources to support China. The world outside is very exciting. If the enemy can go there, we can go there too…”

"I hope that in my lifetime I can see the dragon flag flying over every piece of land overseas! Let the people of China also live a life where one person works and the whole family is well fed!"

Listening to Ye Mingsheng's story, although Pei Zhixiu didn't understand much, she could feel that Ye Mingsheng had lofty ambitions. As Ye Mingsheng's woman, all she could do was to support Ye Mingsheng.

"My husband, I believe you can do it! You will become the greatest emperor!"

Ye Mingsheng seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, and immediately turned around and said in Pei Zhixiu's ear:

"Jixiu, do you know how to make friends far away and attack those near?"

Pei Zhixiu nodded when he heard this. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:

"When I conquer the world, Gongdu and Dongdao will be my first steps, and they will also be fiefs for my descendants!"

Pei Zhixiu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then looked at Ye Mingsheng. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:

“My son Jingxuan has the potential to be crowned king!” Pei Zhixiu’s eyes were filled with complex emotions as Ye Mingsheng finished speaking. As a mother, she certainly hoped that her child would have a promising future. The reason why she let Jingxuan be indifferent was just because she knew that some things had no chance from the beginning. Even if one tried one’s best to fight for them, in the end it would all be in vain…
Therefore, Pei Zhixiu only hoped that Jingxuan could grow up happily and live a stable and happy life. However, Ye Mingsheng's words at this time were completely beyond her plan. She did not expect Ye Mingsheng's plan to be so grand. Jingxuan had no hope of becoming an emperor, but if he could be a king, it might be good!

Although she was somewhat tempted, Pei Zhixiu was also clear that if Ye Mingsheng's plan was really implemented, it would inevitably bring new wars and disasters to the people who had already suffered from war, and her hometown would probably be plunged into bloodshed again.

Although I feel a little bit reluctant when I think of this, when I think about how the system there is already rotten, with warlords fighting for power, one after another, in the end it is still the people who suffer. If someone could follow the example of the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor and unify the country, then the people might be able to enjoy a hundred years of peace.

Ye Mingsheng didn't know what Pei Zhixiu was thinking, and thought she was worried about Jingxuan, so he comforted her:
“Jingxuan is still young now, Zhixiu, you should let him grow up healthy and happy! When he grows up, let him make his own choice to see whether he is willing to be a prince who lives a leisurely and peaceful life, or to be the ruler of a country who can stand on his own...”

·····························
·····························
While Ye Mingsheng was hugging his beautiful wife and talking about his ambitions, Yujing Murong Yuliang in Jiyu did not sleep either, but came to a side room in the mansion.

At this time, on the bed in the side room, a middle-aged man with a pale face was lying there, and a man dressed as a doctor was examining the wound between his waist and abdomen.

After a while, when the doctor finished the examination, Murong Yuliang looked at the white-haired doctor beside him and asked:
"Doctor Qian, how is he now?"

Doctor Qian stroked his white beard and said slowly:

"To reply to the governor, although the warrior's wound is very deep, his physical condition is very good. In addition, I gave him medicine in time, so the warrior is no longer in danger of death. However, it is hard to say when he will wake up!"

"Maybe he will wake up today, or in a day or two, or maybe in three days. Based on my experience, it should be around these three days!"

Hearing what Doctor Qian said, Murong Yuliang frowned slightly, but he also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he immediately ordered:

"Doctor Qian, I don't want anyone else to know about this!"

As soon as these words came out, the white-haired Doctor Qian understood them instantly and assured:
“Please rest assured, Governor. I have lived for such a long time and I have kept my mouth shut. I know nothing and I saw nothing. No one else will know about this matter…”

After receiving Doctor Qian's assurance, Murong Yuliang nodded slightly and said:

"You are very good! Go to Butler Wang to claim your reward!"

Hearing this, Doctor Qian immediately smiled and bowed repeatedly, saying:
"Yes! Thank you, Lord Murong!"

As Doctor Qian left, Murong Yuliang turned his gaze to the sturdy man on the bed. Although the man was pale now, judging from his appearance and lean physique, he was obviously a tough guy!

This person is Chen Wu, one of Murong Lun's minions!

Originally, this man was entrusted by Murong Lun to deliver a letter to Murong Yuliang. When Murong Yuliang saw him coming and knew his abilities well, he also entrusted him to pull out the nails hidden around him. According to the time agreed by both parties, he should have come to report the investigation results to Murong Yuliang two days ago.

But this person broke the appointment. Murong Yuliang waited for him for a whole day, but there was no sign of her!
Just when Murong Yuliang was worried and secretly sent people to look for him, the City Defense Department of Yujing said yesterday that a man who had killed three assassins but was also stabbed and unconscious was found in an alley in the city. Upon hearing the news, Murong Yuliang immediately sent people to check, and sure enough, the unconscious man was Chen Wu··························
After discovering Chen Wu, Murong Yuliang immediately used all his strength to put pressure on the City Defense Department. He secretly brought Chen Wu, who should have been imprisoned, to his room and found a doctor to treat his injuries.

At this time, Murong Yuliang was eager for Chen Wu to wake up. He really wanted to know from Chen Wu whether the thorn beside him was her. Besides, he was also curious about what had happened to Chen Wu and why he was entangled with three killers.

According to the investigation of the City Defense Bureau, these three killers were very clean and no useful information was found. It was obvious that they were also very cautious people. This made Murong Yuliang curious about who they were.

Although he really hoped that Chen Wu could speak as soon as possible, Murong Yuliang also knew that this matter could not be rushed. Doctor Qian had just said that it would take about three days. Although Murong Yuliang was anxious, he could afford to wait for three days!
Thinking of this, Murong Yuliang instructed the maid beside him:

"Take good care of him. If he wakes up, go inform Butler Wang!"

"Yes! Master!"

Murong Yuliang walked out of the room after hearing that. As the governor of Hebei and Henan, he had a lot of work to deal with. Time was very precious. Although he was curious about the outcome of things, he couldn't waste too much time on this matter...
Just as Murong Yuliang walked out of the room and was about to leave the yard, he heard some noise in the room behind him. Just as Murong Yuliang was curious about what happened in the room, he saw a little maid walked out of the room and reported to him:

"Master, that man is awake!"

Murong Yuliang felt that it was a coincidence when he heard this, but he immediately turned around and went back into the house. At this time, Chen Wu, who was lying on the bed, still looked weak but his eyes were open, and a little maid was feeding him some rice soup.

When Chen Wu saw Murong Yuliang appear, he immediately wanted to stand up and salute.

"Second Master..."

Murong Yuliang stopped him and said:
"Don't be in a hurry! Drink the rice soup first and then talk!"

Although Murong Yuliang said so, Chen Wu was also a sensible man. After quickly drinking a few sips of rice soup, he indicated that he didn't want to drink anymore. Seeing this, Murong Yuliang waved his sleeves, and the two maids in the room immediately bowed and left the room.

After the two maids closed the door and walked away, Murong Yuliang looked at Chen Wu and asked:

"What did you find out?"

Facing Murong Yuliang's question, Chen Wu thought for a moment and said:
“Second Master, there is indeed a thorn hidden by your side. If nothing unexpected happens, this thorn was planted by Cui Shao. This thorn is hidden in the mansion, and it is hidden very deeply…”
