The meeting began in an extremely tense atmosphere, in addition to a few important generals stationed at the gate of Chang'an, the Ma family's military and almost all the high-level officials in the government gathered in the Deyang Palace, even Han Feng, who had been immersed in the affairs of the arsenal, and Qin Yu, the master of the Shenbu Sect who seemed to not eat the fireworks of the world, plus Cai Yong, an old guy who was extremely unpopular with Ma Chao, were all ordered to rush to attend the decision-making meeting.

Everyone present knew the seriousness of this matter, and the first time the Han Dynasty was re-ascended to the court, there was a sense of worry and bleakness. Originally, when such deliberations were held in the county warden's office, many officials used to whisper to each other secretly, but this time everyone was silent, and all of them were straight, and even the officers who were rude and impudent and loved to gag tried to control their expressions and remained silent.

Ma Chao's face was pale, and his eyes were deeply sunken by the intense paperwork that had not slept for several days, and Ma Chao had been staying overnight in Shangshutai these days.

After preliminary discussions with some old ministers and important ministers that day, Ma Chao found that the affairs of Chang'an were so complicated: first, there was the aftermath of Chang'an, which was too cumbersome and needed to be confirmed and arranged by him one by one; Second, the relocation of Fufeng is not a trivial matter - according to Ma Chao's meaning, he wants to use the entire Fufeng County as the most stable base of the Ma family, and only move the office system to Chang'an. But even so, the transfer of personnel is extremely troublesome.

Third, after the Ma Group occupied Chang'an, it ushered in a period of rapid growth. There is an endless stream of people who come to vote, and the shadows are all over the world, and they have begun to recruit those famous generals and ministers. As a result, Ma Chao had to bother to consider the arrangement of official positions, and he had to study the detailed rules of the six ministries of the three provinces with Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Yang Fu, Buqi and others. It's so busy that I can't get around.

In addition, there is also Zhao Yun, a famous general who has left a glorious mark in history, and Ma Chao still has nothing to do with him - Liu Yue came forward and has made Tong Yuan surrender, but Zhao Yun did not obey Tong Yuan's orders and surrendered to Ma Chao, but wanted to go back to the plain to join Liu Bei - Fortunately, Tong Yuan's name as a master still has some effect, Ma Chao asked Hua Tuo to give Tong Yuan some medicine that does not hurt his body, and let Tong Yuan pretend to be sick and leave Zhao Yun to serve. Zhao Yun was a person who was loyal and filial, but he had no choice but to obey his fate, and he couldn't get out of Ma Chao's clutches for a while.

And these are only the internal affairs of the Ma family: after the Xiongnu Yufuluo escaped into the state, Ma Chao had to decide what he promised; Luoyang White Wave thief Han Xian ignored Ma Chao's letter and humiliated the messenger, causing Ma Chao's reputation to suffer; There are also things about the East group of heroes who are about to move, how to deal with the Ma family, etc., all of which need to be considered carefully by Ma Chao.

At this moment, gathering these people to discuss, Ma Chao was already exhausted, and he suddenly found that after he finally figured out the problem he was facing, he found that the big problem in front of him at the beginning had disrupted all his plans and deployments. In desperation, Ma Chao shook his head weakly, and swept his gaze from one end to the other, hoping that someone would stand up and speak generously. However, everywhere he looked, the civil and military generals were busy lowering their heads to avoid making eye contact with him.

Ma Chao needs someone to connect all the events in one sentence, and then come up with a perfect solution to completely lay the development policy outline of the Ma family in the next three to five years. It's a pity that even though his subordinates are already fierce and his ministers are like rain at this time, when faced with such an intricate and responsible problem, he couldn't help but feel disappointed when he looked at the reaction of the court at this time-all the military officials below were scratching their heads with hard thinking, and no one dared to look at his eyes-that was a helpless expression.

Ma Chao knew that it was no wonder that the people below him. When he suddenly got the news, he was not as calm as these civil and military generals. At least, they were still standing in peace, not slumped in the court, which was much better than when they sat down on Liu Xie's dragon bed.

The meeting had just begun, and it had been cold for almost a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that no one was silent, Jia Fox shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, whether it was from the official rank, rank, or scope of authority, or seniority, this head cannon had to be fired by him. He cleared his throat, coughed dryly a few times, and said embarrassedly: "Fellow ministers, the lord of Shicai has already made it clear that next year, there will be no serious disaster in the Sili area, and there may be millions of displaced people at that time. All the plans and deployments of the Ma family have been disrupted, Chang'an is shaky, the situation of the Ma family is critical, the so-called food king's Lu and loyalty to the king, you must plan for the Lord and make suggestions for the lord, so as to tide over the difficulties together. ”

After some words, no one answered, only Peng Yi, who was not long-eyed, spoke: "Lord, where did you conclude that there will be a great drought, earthquake, and locust plague next year?" ”

Qin Yu sighed silently, he couldn't understand why Ma Chao was so sure about Chang'an next year. However, thinking of Ma Chao's sworn appearance at that time, Qin Yu knew that Ma Chao was not a person who spoke his mouth, so he had no choice but to stand up and say: "Watching the sky one night......."

"Divination gibberish, it doesn't count!" Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Peng Yi immediately interrupted: "Could it be that because you are bored for a while, you have caused all your ministers to be restless day and night, and your efforts are in vain?!" ”

"Everything is prepared, and if you don't, you will be wasted!" Seeing that Peng Yi still hadn't made any progress, Ma Chao couldn't help but raise a fire in his heart, and shouted: "Even if the Qin Sect Master's speculation is wrong, shouldn't the Ma family have an emergency plan?" All the ministers must consider this matter as an important matter, and from this, the Ma family can get a glimpse of who is a talented person and who is indiscriminate! ”

These words were said almost without a trace of emotion. Even, Ma Chao indirectly reprimanded Peng Yi for being a person who was indiscriminate. However, Ma Chao felt that he had done nothing wrong this time, as soon as he came to Peng Yi's kind of madman, he needed to use strength to suppress his arrogance and let him know that there were people outside the world; Second, he didn't want to get caught up in the boring dispute over whether the meeting was unnecessary or not as soon as the meeting began.

It's just that Ma Chao didn't notice that Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and Guo Jia all glanced at him with a complicated look: Jia Xu and Fa Zheng have been following Ma Chao for a long time, and they have already discovered Ma Chao's sometimes extraordinary things from the usual clues; Although Guo Jia is open-minded, he is thoughtful, and from Ma Chao's strategy for Chang'an, he has faintly felt that Ma Chao is different from their ancients.

However, even if Ma Chao resigned from Peng Yi, it also set the tone of the entire meeting. But everyone in the court was still silent. Ma Chao had no choice but to name him personally, "Dezu, you have always been resourceful, strategic, and eager to learn." In your opinion, what should be done in this matter? ”

"Lord......." Yang Xiu's brows were furrowed, his usually shining eyes were not proud for a while, and he slowly spoke: "The lord is too fond of lowly duties, and he is good at lowly duties, but he is strategic, quick and witty." This kind of people's livelihood economy is not something that can be understood......." After saying that, Yang Xiu lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Ma Chao's face.

And Ma Chao was also angry afterwards, and set his eyes on Liao Li, who was the top performer in the imperial examination, but before he could speak, he saw Liao Li hurriedly lowered his head, and took two steps back.......

'Rubbish! A bunch of bombastic rubbish! Ma Chao was furious in his heart, and he almost jumped uncontrollably: "No wonder Liu Xie was beaten to Xu Du, if I was surrounded by a circle of guys who talked all day but had no idea, maybe it wouldn't be long before I would be beaten back to Fufeng's hometown!" ’
