Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1517: A person who seeks fame and reputation!

So when Ye Mingsheng gave the order to Cui Hang to temporarily take over as the Minister of Personnel, Cui Shao and An Miaoyi both thought that Ye Mingsheng was trying to force things to happen. What made the two even more unsure was that they didn't know whether Ye Mingsheng was targeting Cui Hang personally or Cui's people!
At that time, An Miaoyi felt that the word "temporary" in Ye Mingsheng's order was very intriguing!

If Ye Mingsheng had directly let Cui Hang take over as the Minister of Personnel at that time, An Miaoyi believed that Ye Mingsheng really wanted to make Cui Hang the target of public criticism, so that he would stand out in the forest and be destroyed by the wind!

But with the word "temporary", if you say he is the Minister of Personnel, then he is, and if you say he is not, then he is not either!
This is an ambiguous approach, which is very interesting!
And now Ye Mingsheng asked Cui Hang to be the prefect of Luzhou, which also allowed Cui Hang to return to the path set for him by Cui Shao. This is undoubtedly a positive signal. It means that Ye Mingsheng has shown some goodwill, and An Miaoyi is very happy to see it!
An Miaoyi met Cui Hang when she was staying at Cui's house. Although they didn't have much contact, Cui Hang left a very good impression on An Miaoyi. An Miaoyi thought that he was smart, capable, and cool-headed, and a rare talent!

With such a talent appearing in her own camp, An Miaoyi also has high expectations for Cui Hang!
An Miaoyi hopes that Cui Hang can grow into a pillar of the country, not just assist Ye Mingsheng!
In addition to these two good news, there is also bad news in Ye Mingsheng’s appointments!
For example, Murong Hui was transferred to Liaoyang as the Censor. Before that, Murong Hui was the Censor in Anqing. Although it seemed to be a horizontal transfer, considering that the situation in Liaoyang was better than that in Anqing, in a sense, Murong Hui was promoted half a level...
As for Murong Hui, a rising star in the Murong family, An Miaoyi had actually heard of his name as early as when she was in Luoan. She knew that this person was quick-witted and intelligent, and quite like his father Murong Lun!

When he was the Surveillance Commissioner of Ji and Henan, An Miaoyi had suffered a lot of losses in some of Ji and Henan's businesses. If An Miaoyi had not cut off the losses cleanly, Murong Hui might have followed the clues and made him look very embarrassed!
If An Miaoyi admires and has high expectations for Cui Hang, then Murong Hui is a thorn in An Miaoyi's side. An Miaoyi believes that as the governor of Jianghuai, Murong Yuliang controls the most prosperous region of Daqian, and his power is already great enough!

If Murong Hui is also appointed as a provincial governor, or is promoted to an important position in the central government, it is very likely that this uncle and nephew will continue to grow in strength by cooperating with each other both inside and outside the country.

So in An Miaoyi's opinion, it would be best for Murong Hui to stay in Anqing for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, although she had this idea, the final decision and the final say were all made by Ye Mingsheng.

Compared with Anqing, Liaoyang, which has rich natural resources, is undoubtedly the one with greater development prospects. As an inspector, Murong Hui also has a lot to do. As long as he works hard, he may enter the center in the next step!

Although An Miaoyi was unwilling to see Murong Hui being promoted and reused by Ye Mingsheng, the most difficult person for the Queen of Daqian was not Murong Hui, but another ruthless character, who was the former Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, Chu Zhiyi, who was demoted because of the Ye Dong case!
An Miaoyi is well aware of Chu Zhiyi’s troubles. This man takes Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng as his role model and wants to become Daqian Chu Gangfeng...
Although in An Miaoyi's opinion, Chu Zhiyi was just a man seeking fame and reputation, but An Miaoyi had to admit that Chu Zhiyi was indeed learning from Hai Rui. He could be said to be one of the few people in the court who was not greedy or possessive, and had no handle on him!
Because of the Ye Dong case, Chu Zhiyi could be said to have offended many people in the royal family. Ye Cui also hated Chu Zhiyi very much and felt that he was a complete troublemaker. For this reason, she even hinted to An Miaoyi to think of a way to take down Chu Zhiyi.

If it were anyone else, An Miaoyi might have done it just to please Ye Cui, but this Chu Zhiyi was different. Although An Miaoyi was as smelly and hard as a stone in a toilet, he was very honest and one of the few people in the court who supported the reformists, so he was highly valued by Ye Mingsheng!
Just like the Ye Dong incident this time, if someone else had led troops to surround the residence of a royal family marquis without authorization like Chu Zhiyi did, he would probably have been dismissed from his post. However, Chu Zhiyi was merely transferred from the Censorate to the Ministry of Rites as the Vice Minister of Rites. This could be said to be just a punishment of three cups of wine. This shows the protection of Ye Mingsheng!
Therefore, although An Miaoyi also hated Chu Zhiyi, she did not dare to touch him, so she played dumb and pretended not to understand Ye Cui's hint...

Ye Cui was also very speechless about this, but An Miaoyi's refusal to accept the challenge did not change her mind about punishing Chu Zhiyi. For this reason, those people from the Ye clan investigated Chu Zhiyi from head to toe!

At first, these people simply didn't believe that there were people in this world who held such great power and yet remained restrained from seeking to cash in on their power. Especially since Chu Zhiyi had previously served as deputy director of the Personnel Bureau, Yunbing Censor, and Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. These were all positions with very high power content. As long as they used their brains a little, they could make a fortune!
However, after thoroughly investigating Chu Zhiyi, they had to admit that Chu Zhiyi was indeed very self-disciplined and was impeccable both in terms of money and women.

Ye Cui was still somewhat unwilling about this but she also retained her rationality and did not agree to the method of framing proposed by her subordinates, and ultimately had to let it go.

And now Chu Zhiyi has been transferred by Ye Mingsheng to be the Censor of Youyan. Although Chu Zhiyi has not officially taken office yet, An Miaoyi can already smell the blood!
An Miaoyi knew that if Chu Zhiyi followed his usual style, he would definitely do something in Youyan. Especially those people under Li Jian and Zhuang Shanhe, they would probably be trembling with fear and feeling uneasy!
This is not good news for An Miaoyi herself. Many of An Miaoyi's personal businesses are in Youyan. Before, because of the care of Li Jian and Zhuang Shanhe, all her subordinates did not behave properly. But now that Chu Zhiyi is here, the situation is different...
People like Chu Zhiyi won't be afraid of you just because you are the queen! They are afraid of you and dare not provoke you!
An Miaoyi even felt that someone like Chu Zhiyi might actively cause trouble for her!
After all, people like Chu Zhiyi don’t seek money or sex, so what do you think he wants?
There is no doubt that what he wants is fame, right?

In An Miaoyi's opinion, Chu Zhiyi just wants a reputation of being honest and incorruptible, and not fearing power. This is why An Miaoyi thinks Chu Zhiyi is just seeking fame!

Based on this idea, An Miaoyi was very worried that Chu Zhiyi would take the initiative to cause trouble for her. After all, in terms of power and status, apart from Ye Mingsheng, she, the queen, had the most honorable status in the world of Daqian!
If he succeeds, I'm afraid Chu Zhiyi will really become Chu Gangfeng and Chu Qingtian!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi secretly made up her mind that she must not give Chu Zhiyi the opportunity to step on her to get to the top. She would rather sell Youyan's assets than give up any chance to Chu Zhiyi!
Fortunately, An Miaoyi's main industries are in Yijing. Since Yijing is the capital, it has a special political status, so the prefect of Yijing is fully responsible for it. Chu Zhiyi, the provincial inspector, cannot intervene. Therefore, although An Miaoyi decided to give up other industries in Youyan, she will not feel too painful!

The new prefect of Yijing is Bai Changjiu. Although he is Bai Yuanyuan's second brother, he is also a member of the Liaoyang Gang. He has always been close to Cui Shao, but Cui Shao looks down on Bai Changjiu and ignores him.

Although An Miaoyi didn't know why Ye Mingsheng gave such an important position as the prefect of Yijing to a person of mediocre talent like Bai Changjiu, this was not bad news for An Miaoyi!

An Miaoyi is very confident that she can handle Bai Changjiu, but Bai Changjiu's appointment as the prefect of Yijing may make Bai Yuanyuan, who has been quiet for a while, proud again...

Erlunqin Grassland, Luobi Royal Court
In a luxurious tent, a burly young man in luxurious clothes was pacing back and forth in the tent. His face was full of anxiety, as if some urgent matter was bothering him.

This person is the eldest prince of the Robe language, Dariyachi. In the Robe language, the name Dariyachi means hero and brave warrior. It can be seen that Ibugele, as a father, had high hopes for his eldest son Dariyachi when he gave his child this name!

Dariyachi did not disappoint his father and his people. When he was twelve or thirteen years old, he followed his father and fought on the grasslands. When he was fifteen years old, he shot a wolf to death. When he was seventeen years old, he completed the feat of shooting and killing ten Cuman soldiers. His name for bravery spread throughout Luobi!

After he became an adult, he led his troops to fight against the Cumans many times. As the eldest prince, he could be said to have led the troops by example. Even if he was stabbed or shot by arrows, he would never retreat, which made all the Luobi tribes admire him very much!

At this time, this hero of Luobei, the brave warrior paced in the tent, and from time to time he looked at the door curtain, as if he was waiting for someone to come. A cup of tea passed, and half an incense stick of time passed. The patience of Dariyachi, who had not waited for a long time, was gradually exhausted...
However, just as Dariyachi was about to leave the tent to do something, a heavy sound of footsteps was heard outside the tent. Then, under Dariyachi's expectant gaze, a bald villain who was also tall and strong walked into the tent. Facing Dariyachi, the bald villain touched his chest and bowed and said:
"Urigen Bayar pays respect to the Grand Prince!"

"Uzhigen Bayar, you don't need to be so polite!"

After saying this, Daryaqi grabbed Urgenbayar's arm and said simply and directly:

"Uzhigen Bayar, you are the most brave and loyal general under my father Han. Are you willing to support me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Urgenbayar frowned immediately, as if he had not expected Dariachi to ask him such a sensitive question so directly.

Seeing that Wurigen Bayar frowned and said nothing, Dariyachi continued to assure him:
"Uzhigen Bayar, as long as you support me, after I become the Great Khan, I will definitely rely on you more than my father did, and give you more cattle, sheep, and pastures, and make you the richest man in Luobi!"

Upon hearing this, Urigen Bayar couldn't help but say:
"Prince, how is the Khan doing?"

Seeing that Urgen Bayar was reluctant to give him a positive answer and asked such a question, Daryaqi said perfunctorily:
“It’s still the same as yesterday, no change…”

After saying this, Dariyachi said impatiently:
"Tell me, Wu Rigen, are you willing to support me and submit to me?"

In response to Darachi's continuous questioning, Urigen Bayar realized that it would be difficult for him to get away with it, so he immediately said:

"My great prince! Urgen Bayar is only loyal to the Khan! He only submits to the Khan!"

"Humph!"

As soon as these words came out, Dariyachi, who had been full of expectation, immediately turned pale and said to Urgen Bayar:

"Urigen Bayar, do you know the health condition of my father Khan?"

Facing Daryachi's gaze, Urigenbayar continued in a deep voice:

"I, the great prince, only obey the orders of the Great Khan. I will do whatever the Great Khan tells me to do!"

Wurigen Bayar's stubborn attitude immediately made Dariachi furious. The young prince immediately drew the scimitar from his waist, pointed it at the bald Khan in front of him and said:
"Urigen Bayar, remember, you are a dog raised by my father Khan!"

Under the cold light of Dariyachi's scimitar, Urgenbayar did not show the slightest fear. On the contrary, facing such insult from Dariyachi, this veteran who had fought for Luobei for many years also showed a hint of anger on his face!

However, Urgenbayar did not lose his mind and did not have any dispute with Dariyachi. He just looked at Dariyachi deeply, then bowed to Dariyachi again with his hands on his chest, and then walked out of the luxurious tent.

Seeing Urigen Bayar leaving like this, Dariyachi was extremely angry and said again:

"Urigen Bayar, remember, you are a dog raised by my father Khan!"

After saying this, Dari Achi, holding a scimitar, swung at the tea table in the tent as if to vent his anger, and directly cut the well-made tea table into two halves...
