Chapter 320: The Imperial Power of the Warriors
Liu Xie did not tell Ma Chao the details of his killing of Ma Teng, and Ma Chao also understood this: If he couldn't even investigate this, this arrogant and extremely high-minded emperor would not have asked for cooperation.
But although Liu Xie didn't say the details of killing Ma Teng, Ma Chao could also speculate about the reason why Liu Xie killed Ma Teng.
After ensuring his own safety, Liu Xie finally began to walk to the supreme position step by step and began to regain everything that belonged to him. However, the appearance of Dong Zhuo has become Liu Xie's biggest enemy. The scheming Liu Xie, on the surface, pretends to be a child who does not understand the government, but secretly he has already planned.
With the help of the psychology of the scholars who also wanted to overthrow Dong Zhuo, he pushed the boat down the river and wrote a blood edict, attracting Ma Teng to Chang'an. And when he felt that it was difficult for those scholars to succeed, he simply took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and chose Ma Chao, the warlord who controlled the actual military power and was closest to Chang'an.
Of course, the price is that Ma Teng died tragically in Chang'an.
Perhaps, Liu Xie also wanted to create the illusion that Ma Teng was killed by Dong Zhuo, but it may be that he really does not have that strength, or maybe Dong Zhuo's means are not low. In short, when Ma Chao came to Chang'an, it is estimated that Liu Xie was also very entangled. Because if Ma Chao really doesn't have any ability, then I'm afraid it will be impossible to bring down Dong Zhuo; And if Ma Chao also has the means, he can only be honest.
After all, with his thoughts, he doesn't think that in the troubled times, there is any family affection to talk about. In his heart, Ma Chao should be the same kind of person as him.
But what I didn't expect was that Ma Chao was not a person from this world at all, he was just a traverser.
Fortunately, he is a time-traveler who has traveled for nearly two years and is also very sensible. didn't think the whole world should revolve around him, like some brain-dead traversers. As for what, 'lend me three thousand tigers, restore my mighty China, point to the west of Tianshan, and step on the north of the Black Sea; Zhanggong on Lake Baikal and enjoying snow on Sakhalin Island; Indochina Peninsula visits the ancients, Tokyo ruins worship ancestors, Han Qi points to the place, Wangchen escapes; Those who dare to offend strong men will be punished even if they are far away! This kind of ambition and pride. Although he has also done it in his dreams several times. But he also knows that history is a big wheel, crushing him, an ant with a mantis arm as a car. It's the same as playing.
Ma Teng's death actually made Ma Chao see the horror of history even more. It is only by adapting to history. He was able to live a little more nourishing with his little prophet.
Therefore, when Liu Xie finally had a showdown with him, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "I just want to know, what can I get by cooperating with Your Majesty?" Or rather. Why should I cooperate with Your Majesty? ”
Ma Chao's answer made Liu Xie laugh even more happily. He walked up to Ma Chao, patted Ma Chao's shoulder with his little hand and said, "You must ally with me." Because, Dong Zhuo is already your enemy! ”
Ma Chao felt very awkward, really awkward: he was a thirty-year-old man with two lifetimes combined, and it was really emotionally difficult to accept that an eleven-year-old kid would come and pat him on the shoulder.
"Even so. I don't think there's any need for me to cooperate with Your Majesty. Ma Chao twisted his body to prevent Liu Xie from patting him on the shoulder again. And Liu Xie also seemed to see Ma Chao's awkwardness, laughed, and stayed away from Ma Chao.
That smile. made Ma Chao suddenly think that he seemed to be a child, and Liu Xie was an adult.
"Then Meng Qi can know what the soldiers and horses who went out of the palace gate before, but what did they do?" Liu Xie suddenly changed the topic and said.
Ma Chao shook his head, looking dazed. But Liu Xie replied strangely: "They went to Qin Pass!" That's why you need to work with me! ”
Ma Chao was taken aback, but then calmed down again: "If it's just like this, I don't think I need to cooperate with Your Majesty." Qin Guan, there will be a big battle, but the result is definitely my Ma Chao! ”
"Huh?" Liu Xie showed a hint of solemnity at this time, and he looked at Ma Chao's eyes carefully. After discovering that Ma Chao was not pretending to be calm, he sighed: "It seems that I still underestimated you......"
At this time, Ma Chao noticed that Liu Xie began to call himself 'I' again. This also means that he will officially negotiate with Yongzhou Mu and General Zhenxi in the name of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!
"In that case, I can tell you. I can give you the highest prestige, and I will allow you to occupy the commanding heights of righteousness in the world in the fastest time, and achieve your goal of becoming a martial artist! ”
"Imperialization?"
"Yes, I want you to marry Liu Yue, the princess of ten thousand years, and become the uncle of the dynasty! In this way, you are a member of the royal family, and at that time, even if the scholars want to resist, they can only possess themselves and accept their fate. After all, there is one thing that their theory cannot be violated, and that is loyalty and patriotism! ”
Ma Chao was shocked, and Liu Xie's words opened another window for him at once. Moreover, this window seems to be brighter and more dazzling than the window of the 'humanization of the samurai'.
From beginning to end, Ma Chao has always had a headache about his origin. Even though he is the general of Han Fubo, Ma Yuan, it is inevitable that there are too many people with higher reputation than him in the entire Han modern class. Those people formed a powerful and intertwined group of scholars, so that even if Ma Chao was reluctant, he could only be willingly classified as a circle of 'Border Saiwu'.
The profound lessons learned from history, as well as the sharp analysis of Jia Xu's old fox, made Ma Chao know that he must integrate into the scholar class in order to gain the support of the entire scholar class and finally complete his great cause, just like Cao Cao became Emperor Wu of Wei from a descendant of eunuchs.
If you blindly use military force, although you can be prominent for a while, you will definitely be like Dong Zhuo, and you can only end up with a sky lantern in the end. Therefore, he had to take off the coat of the 'Biansvu' and put on another set of shiny clothes.
But are the clothes of the royal family indeed more dazzling than the clothes of the scholars?
Ma Chao wasn't sure, but he was sure that if he really defeated Dong Zhuo and became the uncle of the dynasty. He will definitely become the most prominent and prestigious warlord in the Han Dynasty. The scholar class is really likely to join his command.
Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei and others, why did they achieve great things? It is because they have the support of the most knowledgeable scholars of this era, and it is because they have embarked on a path of scholarization that they can become a hegemon in the troubled times.
Obviously, Sun Quan has been stained with the light of his father and brother and has accumulated fame; And the behavior of Cao Cao and Liu Bei is precisely the light of the royal family! Cao Cao is 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes', and Liu Bei is even more swaggering and deceiving in the name of 'Uncle of the Han Emperor'......
If Ma Chao really becomes the uncle of the dynasty, then his gold content is much higher than that of Cao Cao and Liu Bei!
This condition, I have to say, makes Ma Chao very excited. Even, from the perspective of a prince, he has no reason to refuse at all! And Liu Xie may have taken a fancy to this, which is the reason why he dared to have a showdown with Ma Chao......
But once Liu Yue really marries herself, what should Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Han Ying, and Yun'er do? Liu Yue's identity is destined to be the eldest lady of the Ma family. So, will these women who have feelings and righteousness with them agree to do this? Even if they agreed, what should they do if they promised Mu Yuanfeng?
Ma Chao had a headache, he just thought of the Liu Association to win him over. But I didn't expect that behind marrying Liu Yue, there was such a crucial factor!
