After all, the ground was not peaceful when the Posu Prefecture was first established, and it was also very poor. Fengshan County was a large and wealthy county in Dongning Prefecture. As the county magistrate, Ma Runchuan lived very comfortably in Fengshan, so there was no need to go there.

The whirling house is looking for sin...

But until some time ago, Song Wenhui was completely defeated by the Zhenwu Army and took control of Dongning Prefecture. Fengshan County was Ye Mingsheng's hometown, so he paid special attention to the situation in Fengshan, so he got the news from Ma Runchuan. Ma Runchuan took the initiative to report to the Zhenwu Army

surrender.

But because the Zhenwu Army accepted a large number of surrendered soldiers from the Liaoyang Army at that time, and wanted them to fight back against Song Wenhui, a large amount of money was needed to win people's hearts.

But at that time, the Zhenwu Army itself was impoverished and all their money was used for fighting. So without money, they could only start robbing, and the target of the robbing was the gentry group that originally supported Song Wenhui.

Therefore, the Zhenwu Army directly ignored Ma Runchuan's request for surrender, and not only dismissed Ma Runchuan from his post as county magistrate, but also wanted to put Ma Runchuan on trial. Later, Ma Runchuan relied on many connections to save his life.

Although his life was saved, Ma Runchuan also squandered all his wealth in order to survive, and the house he lived in was not taken away.

Although Ma Runchuan was in charge of Fengshan in these years, he led the people to build bridges and roads, open up wasteland, and ensured basic fairness of justice. Those who killed should be punished with their lives, and those who injured others were jailed. He did do some practical and good things.

However, his personal life was also very chaotic. He had several concubines and more than ten children. Without money, the family's life was very miserable.

When he first learned about Ma Runchuan's tragic situation, Ye Mingsheng honestly didn't take any pleasure in his misfortune. He was not such a boring person...

Although it is not that boring, it does not mean that Ye Mingsheng is a particularly generous person.

When you are good, you don't come even if I invite you twice!

Now that you are down and out, do you think of me? Do you want to follow me?

Am I your spare tire?

Feeling the anger in Ye Mingsheng's words, Gu Sansi also felt very bitter in his heart. When he heard what happened from Ma Runchuan a few days ago, he knew that things would be a bit difficult to handle given Ye Mingsheng's character.

But now hearing Ye Mingsheng's current tone, it seemed that things were more difficult than he thought, which made him even more anxious in his heart, thinking about how to persuade Ye Mingsheng to accept Ma Runchuan again.

One of the great advantages of Ma Runchuan is that he is smooth and gets along well with everyone. Back then, he and Ma Runchuan studied under the great Confucian Wang Zhi. At that time, he had thought twice about success at a young age and did not know how to restrain himself. He was a bit arrogant and arrogant with other classmates.

Our relationship is not very good, but only with Ma Runchuan we can chat better, and our relationship is relatively harmonious.

Later, because he had foreign ancestry, it was exposed, and he was ostracized by the officialdom and fell into the clouds. He was idle at home, had no talent, and was depressed. When his life was very depressed, he also received a lot of help from Ma Runchuan, a classmate of Ren Fengshan Shilling at the time, so that the family could survive.

············

Later, it was because of Ma Runchun's recommendation that he had the opportunity to work under Ye Mingsheng and get the opportunity to display his talents.

Therefore, Ma Runchuan's kindness to Gu Sansi can be said to be as great as heaven!

Gu Sansi is not a person who refuses to repay kindness. Now that Ma Runchuan has encountered difficulties and turned to him, he will naturally not stand idly by!

Otherwise, Gu Sansi would never have touched Ye Mingsheng's brow by speaking out for Ma Runchuan even though he knew that Ye Mingsheng was not happy with Ma Runchuan.

"Sir, Senior Brother Ma is not only very kind to me, but also very useful to you!" Gu Sansi is a man of quick thinking after all. After thinking about it carefully, he had an idea in his mind and admonished Ye Mingsheng.

:

Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything when he heard this. He knew that Ma Runchuan was capable, but the problem was that there were too many capable people...

Why does he need to use the duplicitous Ma Runchuan?

Seeing this, Gu Sansi continued to persuade:

"Sir, Brother Ma, I am a bit of a loser, but he has one advantage, that is, he is good at interpersonal relationships!"

"Senior Brother Ma has many friends in the officialdom. The Zhenwu Army originally wanted to chop off his head this time, but they couldn't stop him from moving around. Many people came out to get him, so the Zhenwu Army couldn't show mercy and had to let him live.

!”

"Senior Brother Ma wants to defect to our Fengzhou Army this time. To a large extent, he hates the Zhenwu Army in his heart! Therefore, his belief in our Fengzhou Army is also very firm!"

Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but snorted contemptuously when he heard this. To put it bluntly, isn't this just to borrow the hands of the Fengzhou Army and take revenge on the Zhenwu Army?

Seeing Ye Mingsheng's disdainful attitude, Gu Sansi was a little embarrassed, but he continued:

"Sir, have you ever thought about the next question?"

"You are now cooperating with the Cui family. If you lose in the end, then of course there is nothing to say. But what if we finally defeated the Zhenwu Army and won the power of Liaoyang?"

"My lord, your current foundation is in the army, but your foundation in the officialdom is weak. In order to maintain the stability of Liaoyang, you must rely on the Cui family, but are you willing to do this?"

"The best way to deal with the Cui family is to gradually replace them with the forces that support you in the officialdom. Senior Brother Ma has a wide range of friends in the officialdom and can talk to everyone. With his help, you can support your own forces in the officialdom."

If you follow your footsteps, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"

"In addition, after learning this lesson, I believe that Senior Brother Ma will be grateful for your kindness, cherish this hard-won opportunity, and serve you honestly!"

After listening to Gu Sansi's words, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but fell into silence. Although he still didn't like Ma Runchuan, he had to admit that he was a little shaken by Gu Sansi's words.

Although it is emotionally satisfying to not use Ma Runchuan, as a person in power and a political figure, sometimes you cannot be too emotional. You need to make the choice that is most beneficial to you...

··

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng stopped talking, Gu Sansi's heart suddenly ignited with hope. He knew that Ye Mingsheng was very wary of family members such as the Cui family, and there would be a chance to use them to talk things over, so he struck while the iron was hot.

, bowed deeply to Ye Mingsheng again, and said with great sincerity:

"Senior Brother Ma is so kind to me, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay his kindness!"

"Sir, I have never asked you for anything during the time I have been following you. Could you please give Senior Brother Ma a chance just for my sake this time?"

Seeing that his chief adviser was talking about what he said, Ye Mingsheng felt that it would be too hurtful if he refused. He hesitated and said helplessly:

"Okay, because of his affection for you, let him go to the Posuo Prefecture and find a county to work as a clerk!"

Although with Ma Runchuan's talent and experience, becoming a small chief clerk was not only a demotion but also a demotion, but Gu Sansi knew that it was not easy for Ye Mingsheng to let go at this time, and he immediately expressed his gratitude to Ye Mingsheng.
