When he was young, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Yang Fu, Zhang Ji, Li Ru, Man Chong, and Buqi came together. After saluting Ma Chao, they were divided into two seats.

These seven people, except for Meng Da, who is in charge of the household department, and Han Feng, the general manager of the Ma family, are already the core members of the Ma family's cultural governance, and they are all involved in the imperial examination and the rescue of Cai Yong: Jia Xu and Fa Zheng are members of Zhongshu Province and are responsible for all staff advice; Yang Fumen is responsible for the review of the plan strategy, and it is naturally his responsibility; Zhang is not only a county guard of Fufeng, but also knows military affairs, so he is naturally indispensable; Li Rubing, Minister Shi, is also well versed in Chang'an; As for Man Pet and Bu Qi, they barely have much to do with this matter, but Ma Chao wants to continue to think about them.

After repeating the news of Diao Chan's investigation to everyone, Ma Chao said: "Now the famous scholars and Confucians in Shilin, Kong Rong and Zheng Xuan, live in Beihai, thousands of miles away from Fufeng, and they have no relationship with the Ma family; Li Ying, Chen Fan, Lu Zhi, Chen Yu and others have long since died; Only Xu Shao and Xu Zi will have the 'Yuedan Review' to be famous in the world, but the guest residence is Chenliu, and the Ma family is also fruitless. Only Cai Yong lives in Chang'an, and he is in danger, if he can save this person and make him the chief examiner of the imperial examination, then the matter of the imperial examination will not only be as unknown as the Ma family. ”

"What the lord said is very true, you don't need Cai Yong to surrender to the Ma family, just rely on his fame. As for the rumors from the outside world, hehe......" Fa Zheng smiled extremely relaxed, and even had a hint of self-satisfaction: "The propaganda team of the Ma Jiali Department seems to have some new themes to promote." ”

This guy Fa Zheng is young and vigorous, and in front of outsiders, he seems to have an unfathomable posture and subdued his subordinates. But in front of Ma Chao, he spoke so bluntly.

"Lord, I don't know if I am humble, so is Wang Yun going to insist on killing Cai Yong just because of a letter?" Man Zhong spoke at this time, and after pondering for a while, he still felt incredible: "You know, our Ma family can see the value of Cai Yong, but that Wang Yun is not a scheming person. Wouldn't such a good killing of ministers, especially those who are famous all over the world, self-destruction of the Great Wall? ”

When everyone heard this, Jia Xu and Fa Zheng's faces remained unchanged; Zhang Ji, Bu Qi, and Yang Fu frowned and thought deeply; Ma Chao and Li Ru, on the other hand, glanced at each other and smiled at each other.

After that, under Ma Chao's eyes, Li Rucai spoke: "Bo Ning doesn't know, it is precisely because Man Chong is a famous person in the world that Wang Yun wants to kill Cai Yong." Because although Cai Yong is a scholar, he is stupid and loyal, and he strives to protect the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, and he has always been at odds with Wang Yun. At this moment, he slandered Cai Yong for colluding with the Ma family, just to find an excuse for political games. ”

"Yes, in front of Weiyang Palace that day, His Majesty asked Shi Sun Rui to go out of Beiye Gate to read the holy decree, resulting in the killing of Wang Yun's first deputy. And now that Wang Yun has mastered the power of the court, he naturally wants to cut off dissidents. Ma Chao added, so that these people could hear the fierceness and cruelty of the struggle between imperial power and scholarly power from the news that Liu Xie and Wang Yun killed each other's subordinates.

If so, the lord need not be overly worried. If you look at it from a humble point of view, you only need to let the reorganized Ma Jiajun send troops to Qinguan and display them outside Chang'an City, and add stones and ballistas every day to show off their might. As long as Wang Yun is not old and confused, he will naturally send Cai and everyone to Fufeng. "Li Ru, as the minister of war, is also well versed in Wang Yun's character, and this plan to show off the army is exactly what Ma Chao wants.

In Ma Chao's opinion, Wang Yun is just a little villainous. thought that after driving Ma Chao out of Chang'an, he would win Ma Chao. was full of delusional thoughts about how to order the Ma family and annexed Yongzhou, and he didn't know that Ma Chao deliberately did not attack Chang'an.

Li Ru's plan is actually to let the Ma family show its fangs, so that the old fox Wang Yun, whose tail has been raised to the sky, can see the power of the Ma family. After all, a fox may provoke a dog, but never dare to provoke a lion.

"Lord, it's winter at this time, if you really attack Chang'an, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, but if it's just a show of soldiers, it doesn't matter much." Yang Fu opened his mouth, and then smiled meaningfully, and continued: "But winter is an extremely difficult season for the Qiang people, and it is also a common .......season for nomads to raid the Han Dynasty."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were already lit up, the 40,000 elite soldiers of the Ma family plus various arsenal siege equipment, and the Qiang people had a tiger's eye, which may make those scholars in Chang'an scared to pee their pants, right? And Wang Yun, that old guy, after seeing Ma Chao's force, will there be a huge drop from the top of the clouds to the bottom, which will have a psychological shadow on the Ma family?

At this point in the discussion, Ma Chao felt that Cai Yong was blessed to be at home, and he could get so much attention in his lifetime. As a result, when he was about to announce that he was preparing like this, Jia Xu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke at this time.

"Lord, in fact, there is another point, which is also the reason why Wang Yun has to kill Cai Yong." Jia Xu, the old fox, smiled, and said two words very simply: "Hanshu"

Ma Chao was a little confused at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Jia Xu meant: Cai Yong was responsible for continuing to write the history of the Han Dynasty. It is conceivable that if Cai Yong writes it, what image will Wang Yun be a thousand years later? Cai Yong is an upright gentleman, and he will definitely not whitewash Dong Zhuo and belittle Wang Yun, but the problem is that Wang Yun is not a gentleman......

Wang Yun himself is an intellectual, and at the same time an out-and-out villain. At the beginning, because of Dong Zhuo's existence, Wang Yun had a serious psychological distortion. In the face of the powerful and brutal Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun had to slip his beard and pat himself every day to make himself look like a grandson. While pretending to be a grandson, he was always ready to stab the knife, this extremely forbearant behavior made Wang Yun very conflicted, leading to his villainous attitude of flattering Dong Zhuo as the biggest stain in his life as an intellectual.

Now that Wang Yun has killed Dong Zhuo, he naturally wants to do everything possible to erase this stain and erect his image of enduring humiliation and glory in the history books. But the person who continued to write the history of the Han Dynasty was Cai Yong, who was at odds with him, so in the eyes of Cai Yong, who had a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, how would he view Wang Yun's life stain? How will Wang Yun's shameless villain posture be recorded in the history books?

If Wang Yun wants to set up a tall archway, he must not leave this Cai Yong, who knows the ins and outs. So Wang Yun said that Cai Yong was a minister and couldn't let him write a slanderous book, but in fact, he didn't want Cai Yong to record the biggest stain on Wang Yun's life and laugh through the ages. Therefore, when Wang Yun ascends the throne, this Cai Yong must die.

can figure this out, Ma Chao is a little embarrassed. Originally, in Ma Chao's view, Wang Yun's killing of Cai Yong was just an intensification point in the struggle between imperial power and military power. As long as he gives Wang Yun a loud ear and wakes Wang Yun up, he can be a hundred. But I don't want to, this factor is also mixed in.

And in this way, things are much trickier: Ma Chao really knows that these sour Confucians in ancient times, in order to be famous in history, can do anything crazy! It's not good, after Wang Yun was forced to be in a hurry, he would really have the idea of dying together, slaughtered Cai Yong with one knife, and then fought to the death with the Tongma family, and the jade was burned......

'No wonder, no wonder Liu Xie, the black-bellied child, couldn't resist Wang Yun, and let Wang Yun throw Cai Yong on death row....... At this time, Ma Chao thought of the little emperor again for some reason. Before, he wondered why Liu Xie didn't keep Cai Yong, but now it seems that this matter is indeed a bit of a headache......

However, Ma Chao glanced at Jia Xu leisurely, with a wicked smile in his eyes: Old fox, since you can see this, it seems that coming up with a bad idea will not be difficult for you, right?
