Liaoyang, Liaodong Jingluofu.

Yuan Yingtai held the handwritten letter written to him by Liu Yijing of the cabinet in his hand, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, what happened in the palace, and how Ye Xun left the capital, has long been passed down into various versions and spread to the inside and outside of the Guan, north and south of the river.

Yuan Yingtai, as a feudal official, must know more in detail than ordinary people, and it is precisely because of this that he is even more embarrassed.

He knew very well that after Ye Xun returned to Liaodong, he had to make a choice between the imperial court and Ye Xun.

This choice is really difficult, Ye Xun does have a lot of problems, but his starting point is good, and without Ye Xun, it is difficult to say whether Liaodong can still be the land of the Ming Dynasty, why can't the imperial court tolerate such a person?

On the other hand, Yuan Yingtai is also a more traditional and conservative person, although the court can't stand Ye Xun first, but he also does not allow Ye Xun to confront the court, in his opinion, choosing to confront the court is tantamount to rebellion, and it is absolutely not allowed.

But Yuan Yingtai also knows that with Ye Xun's strength, Liaodong will definitely not allow any opposition to appear, so where should he, the Liaodong economic strategy, go?

Liu Yijing's letter should have been written by the emperor's behing, after all, there was a holy decree appointing Ye Xun to guard Liaodong, so he couldn't immediately dismantle Ye Xun's platform underneath!

The gist of the letter was still to ask Yuan Yingtai to be loyal to the imperial court and find a way to gradually control the army.

This is the end of the letter, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that once Yuan Yingtai can control the army, then Ye Xun will not have much of a jump.

Yuan Yingtai couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, these court officials are typical of standing and talking without backache, and want to seize Ye Xun's military power? Didn't you wake up talking in your sleep?

Now go to the barracks and pull out a soldier at random, and ask him who he is loyal to, and he will say that it is Gonggong Ye, not the imperial court, because the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong are really hurt by the imperial court.

But no matter what others are like, he Yuan Yingtai still has to be a good courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

After Ye Xun left Guangning, he sent someone to report the itinerary to Yuan Yingtai, and according to the time, it should be these two days.

As the highest administrator in Liaodong, Yuan Yingtai would definitely not greet Ye Xun in person, but the military and civilians in Liaoyang were much more enthusiastic than him, and he didn't know who spread the news.

"Master, Mr. Chai is out asking to see you"

The voice of the subordinate interrupted Yuan Yingtai's musings.

Chai Guozhu is still the chief soldier of the Liaoyang battalion, but he is probably the most powerful general soldier in Liaodong, with only a few thousand men under his command, and these subordinates don't listen to him much, because the generals at all levels were promoted by Ye Xun.

I didn't dare to withdraw if I wanted to, but I didn't listen, Chai Guozhu, the chief soldier, didn't mention how aggrieved he was, and then he rarely even went to the barracks.

Yuan Yingtai naturally knew about Chai Guozhu's affairs, but the army only listened to Ye Xun, and he couldn't help him, but he didn't know what he was doing when Ye Xun was coming.

After inviting Chai Guozhu in, he ordered someone to serve tea, and then said: "General Chai came to find this official, but for the sake of Gonggong Ye?" ”

Knowing Chai Guozhu's situation, if he calls him General Soldier again, it will be scolding.

Chai Guozhu behaved very respectfully, only half of the chair was set up on his buttocks, and bowed down and said with a smile: "That's the case, the young general heard that Grandpa Ye was coming back, so he prepared some wine and food in the mansion, and wanted to invite the adults and Grandpa Ye to have a banquet together."

Yuan Yingtai nodded, similar to what he thought, this Chai Guozhu is estimated to be unable to stand it, please yourself and Ye Xun, it is estimated that you want to ask yourself to say good things for him, don't let him be a decoration.

"This matter will be told by the official to Grandpa Ye, as for whether Grandpa Ye is willing to go to the banquet, it depends on Grandpa Ye"

Yuan Yingtai is a good man, and he has always advocated harmony between army generals, so he thought about promoting Chai Guozhu's wish.

But he didn't want Chai Guozhu to listen to his words, and suddenly knelt down, crying with snot and tears.

"Ask the adults to help the young general talk, let the young general go! The young general doesn't want to stay in Liaodong anymore..."

Yuan Yingtai frowned, but he blamed Ye Xun in his heart, and said in his heart, look at what you kid has scared people into?

walked over and picked up Chai Guozhu, sighed, and said, "Don't worry, I don't think Gonggong Ye will be too difficult for you, you go back and prepare first!" Gonggong Ye should be able to arrive soon, and when he arrives, the official will take him to your house."

"Master Xie, the kindness of the adult, the young general will not forget"

Chai Guozhu said and wanted to kneel down for Yuan Yingtai again, but Yuan Yingtai grabbed him and pushed him out.

Chai Guozhu left with great gratitude.

Looking at Chai Guozhu's back, Yuan Yingtai couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, the knees of these generals in Liaodong are really too soft, and there really have people like Ye Xun to govern them.

Chai Guozhu left Yuan Yingtai's mansion, and after turning the corner, the expression on his face immediately turned cold, for this day, he had been ready for a long time.

First of all, someone from Shanxi looked for him and gave him a large sum of silver, and the day before yesterday there was someone in the capital again, and this time the person who came was even more amazing, it is said that he was from Da Nei, and the person who came promised that as long as he could kill Ye Xun, the position of the commander of Liaoyang Wei was his.

The goal of the two groups of people is the same, after the matter is completed, whether it is official position or wealth, it will be in the pocket, how could Chai Guozhu not do such a cost-effective thing?

As for Yuan Yingtai, he can only be regarded as unlucky, if it weren't for him, Ye Xun would not have stepped into the trap.

all know that Ye Xun is strong in martial arts, so Chai Guozhu didn't plan to do any assassination at all, but directly planted mines and explosives in the place where Ye Xun and others were entertained.

Chai Guozhu hated Ye Xun for more than a day or two, and this hatred was increasing day by day.

Ye Xun was better when he first reorganized the Liaoyang battalion, because at that time, Chai Guozhu was entrusted by Ye Xun to the post of chief soldier.

Who would have thought that this general soldier would be so worthless, as he was gradually emptied by his subordinates, the feeling of loss and anger could not be described in any words, and it was at this time that a businessman from Shanxi found him.

Chai Guozhu was very careful, whether it was under his subordinates or in front of Yuan Yingtai and other Shangguan colleagues, he was in an honest state of resignation, so that no one expected that this guy would hide such a big evil intention.

Before Chai Guozhu arrived at the door of his house, he saw a fat man coming in front of him, with a round body and a round head, like a tumbler, which looked very funny.

There are all kinds of ethnic groups in Liaodong, and there are people with any image, but fat people like this are rare, and Chai Guozhu couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The fat man suddenly smiled at Chai Guozhu and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look at you!"

Chai Guozhu replied naturally, and before the words fell, a big net fell from the sky, covering him with people and horses...
