Ma Tan hummed a little song and walked briskly into his public office.

The Dasi Nong Mansion was originally a part of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now the Prime Minister's Mansion has moved to Chang'an, and the civil affairs of Yizhou are handed over to Ma Tan, who is the Dasi Nong, who honestly and unceremoniously turned the entire Prime Minister's Mansion into his Dasi Nong Mansion.

The place where he works is the place where Zhuge Liang originally worked, and the place where he lived is also where Zhuge Liang originally lived. It's just that Zhuge Liang is frugal and simple, and the place where he lives is also very simple, after Ma Jian took over, he ordered someone to redecorate it. Although today's public office is not magnificent, it is also spacious and bright.

Ma Yan's mood was also much happier.

What makes Ma Tan feel good is, of course, not only the renovation of the public house, but also the things in the court. Zhuge Liang left Chengdu, and died desolate after the failure of the last blow, the court of Chang'an fell into chaos, Li Yan and Wu Yi were setting off a liquidation of the prime minister's power, although Jiang Wan and others had not been punished, and some even retained their official positions and handled government affairs normally, but their influence on the Son of Heaven had disappeared.

In addition to Jiang Wei, the political power left by the prime minister has been uprooted, and Jiang Wei, in Ma Yan's opinion, is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days.

As Zhuge Liang's original confidant, Ma Jian has always had no good impression of Jiang Wei. The reason is very simple, Jiang Wei is not self-sufficient, and as soon as he entered the account, he wanted to take advantage of the convenient status of the Liangzhou people to replace his position in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now he wants to use the little force he has at his disposal to confront Wei Ba and claim to be Zhuge Liang's heir.

He didn't want to think about it either. What qualifications does he have to think so?

It's strange to say that Ma Jian used to be a mountain in front of Jiang Wei, but as a result, Mumen was defeated in the first battle, and Ma Jian was almost executed by Zhuge Liang. Later, Wu surrendered, and Zhuge Ke threatened Jiang Wei's position again as Zhuge Liang's nephew, but now Zhuge Liang struck the last blow, not only giving Wei Ba a chance. also buried Zhuge Ke. By mistake, he gave Jiang Wei the opportunity again.

Ma Tan believes that this matter may not be as simple as a coincidence. Like Zhuge Liang, Ma Tan believes in the will of heaven, but he believes that the will of heaven is unpredictable. It is not as reliable as human schemes. And according to who benefits. The principle of reasoning that whoever is behind the scenes. Jiang Wei, who has benefited the most, is obviously the most likely mastermind behind the scenes.

Just thinking of this, Ma Jian shuddered a little. If it was really what he thought, then Jiang Wei not only cheated Zhuge Ke. And it buried Zhuge Liang's already slim chances. I have to say that although Zhuge Liang's last blow was a bit reckless, once it succeeded, it was very likely to completely reverse the whole situation. As soon as Wei Ba died, his subordinates would inevitably split, and with Zhuge Liang's means, coupled with the strength of Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Dan, Jiang Wei and other cronies, it was still possible to re-concentrate power in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It's just that in that case, Jiang Wei is far less competitive than Zhuge Ke. This result is naturally not the result Jiang Wei wants, in comparison, the current result may be more beneficial to Jiang Wei himself.

The premise is that he still has a chance to kill Wei Ba and regain control of the Chang'an court.

In fact, Wei Ba did not immediately set off a stormy purge, which means that this situation is beneficial to Jiang Wei. Otherwise, with Wei Ba's consistent attitude towards Jiang Wei, he would have cleaned up Jiang Wei a long time ago, where would he go around so many circles.

Of course, this is only temporary. As long as Wei Ba solves the battle situation in Luoyang and frees his hands, sooner or later Jiang Wei will have to be cleaned up with a blue nose and swollen eyes, and he will regret Mo Die.

Ma Tan believed that there would be such a day, so he was in a very good mood.

Infantry Captain Xi Zhong walked in, and Ha Luha smiled: "Brother Young Chang, what's the matter, so happy." ”

"You don't know what to do?" Ma Tan smiled slightly: "If you don't know the way, don't sit down and talk, hurry up and go home and think about it behind closed doors." ”

Xi Zhong smiled even more happily. How could he not know what Ma Jian was happy about, he was as happy as Ma Tan. He sat down opposite Ma Yan, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip: "What, are you going to wait in Yizhou?" ”

Ma Jian raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

"Li Yan is the means, but most of his means are in the use of troops and figuring out his intentions. If Zizi's intentions are not clear today, I'm afraid he has nothing to borrow. If you want to rectify those people, you have to be a master like you. ”

Xi Zhong said unhurriedly. He is the elder brother of Mrs. Xi, the Xi family and the Wei family are now in the same breath, and he also knows the relationship between Ma Jian and Wei Ba, so he does not hide his words.

Ma Tan smiled slightly, avoided answering, and suddenly said: "Recently, someone in Chengdu is talking about what kind of Han people, when the road is high, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Xi Zhong rolled his eyes and nodded. The recent trend of public opinion in Chengdu is very different from that of a few months ago, and the biggest difference is that some people have mentioned the proverb "those who represent the Han Dynasty are on the way".

The one who represents the Han Dynasty can be said to be the most popular proverb in the late Han Dynasty, but the interpretation is very different. At that time, Yuan Shu thought that the passer, the road, and the Han should of course be his Yuan Shu Yuan Highway. It's a pity that what happened to him later proved that this was nothing more than a self-righteous madness. Later, before the Cao Wei Dynasty, some people interpreted that Wei meant high, Wei, high on the top, symbolizing the triple que of imperial power, that is, the building on the road.

Such an argument, of course, cannot be accepted by Shu Han. Especially with the success of the Northern Expedition, Shu Han rose against the trend and swallowed Wu to attack Wei, and no one mentioned these statements. However, recently, with the Son of Heaven driving his own expedition and moving the capital to Guanzhong, the control of Yizhou has gradually loosened, and the phrase "those who represent the Han Dynasty are high on the way" has risen again, and there is a new interpretation.

Wei, or Wei, but not Cao Wei's country name Wei, but possibly Wei with the surname Wei.

The meaning of this sentence is already obvious, directly referring to the Jin King Wei Ba.

Wei Ba's Wei, Wei from the three Jin families, his surname is Ji, and he is a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty. And the Jin State was originally one of the most powerful feudal states of the Zhou Dynasty, just as Wei Ba was now the most powerful. At that time, the three families were divided into Jin, and now the three kingdoms are one, the world is unified, and the return to Jin seems to be a happy ending.

In addition to referring to the name of the country and the name of the place, the word Jin also has the meaning of rising. The preface hexagram says: Jin is also entered. Wei Ba, Jin Jue, Jin King, itself echoes the sentence "Those who represent the Han Dynasty are high".

"Brother Young Chang is familiar with the classics and is also familiar with internal learning, I don't know what Lu Dao thinks about this."

"Heaven sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to the people." Ma Tan turned the teacup and said casually: "The people's will is the will of heaven." ”

Xi Zhong smiled. He knew that Ma Jian would not object, and maybe even Ma Jian would have the shadow behind these discussions. Ma Tan and Xiang Lang have a close relationship, it is said that Wei Ba once stood in Xiang Lang's court at night, and the two didn't know what Lu Dao said. It is already a self-evident fact that Xiang Jia supports Wei Ba. As Xiang Lang's closeness, Ma Tan is certainly not far behind.

As for the Xi family, the Xi family is of course more willing to support Wei Ba to take another step.

"Jiang Wan, Yang Yi and others are just scholars, and they can't make big things. With Li Yan's means, it is not a problem to rectify Jiang Wei. However, this last step is not something that Li Yan can put on the table. Ma Jian raised his eyelids and glanced at Xi Zhong: "An official is an official after all, and no matter how capable an official is, he is also an official." ”

Xi Zhong's eyes flashed, and he understood what Ma Jian meant.

Li Yan is not famous for his studies, he is born as a ruler, and he does have the ability to do things, but when it comes to these major events, Li Yan's knowledge is far from enough. Only people like Liu Bei, who also lack a scripture background, will believe in his set and adopt the auspiciousness he presents. In fact, the things he engaged in were a joke in the eyes of Confucianism.

Among the many auspicious Rui who supported Liu Bei's accession to the throne, Wuyang Chishui has Huanglongxian, and the Nine Days is gone, which is Li Yan's handwriting, and it is also the most important auspicious Rui. The yellow one, the earth also. Dragons, emperors too. That doesn't sound good, but there's a catch. Liu Bei inherited the Han De, and it should be fire, not the soil of fire, so Huang Longxian is not only unfavorable to Liu Bei's call to succeed the Han, but also unfavorable.

It's just that Liu Bei was in a hurry to ascend the throne at that time, and he didn't care about whether it was justified or not, so Li Yan picked up a bargain. Liu Bei's ascension to the throne has become a fact, and Li Yan is with Zhuge Liang and is under his orders, who would dare to point out his mistake. Saying that he was wrong, wouldn't it be the same as directly saying that Liu Bei was not in the right position?

Now the situation is different, the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty has finally reached the bottom, and taking out Li Yan, a nondescript auspicious rui, can not only prove that the Jin Dynasty Han is reasonable, but also suppress Li Yan by the way. Li Yan, as the person who once offered auspiciousness to Liu Bei, is he still embarrassed to offer auspiciousness to Wei Ba again? Moreover, this time he made a knife for Wei Ba and rectified the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was inevitable that he would offend no one and leave a bad reputation, and Wei Ba would not reuse him from his own considerations.

So, don't look at Li Yan now tossing fiercely, he is just a striker, and he is a bridge builder. When the war between the Daihan and Han Dynasty really kicked off, he would never be the one who pointed out the country.

Who could that be? The horse in front of him has a chance.

"This is a major event related to the lives of the people in the world, and it cannot be taken lightly." Ma Tan said unhurriedly: "You can't stop talking, and you can't indulge." Defending the people's mouth is worse than defending Sichuan, which is not what a wise man should do. indulgence, and it is inevitable that some people will maliciously cause trouble and cause trouble. Now, as an infantry captain left behind, shouldn't you also do your duty, maintain order, and ensure the stability of Chengdu and even Yizhou? ”

Xi Zhong comprehends. "Then Dasi Nong does not provide a little more money and food, the soldiers I have on hand are not enough."

"As long as you can recruit soldiers, money and food are not a problem." The corners of Ma Yan's mouth twitched, and he smiled proudly: "If you are sure to guard the Sword Gate and ensure the safety of Yizhou, I can let Jiang Wei not get a grain from Yizhou this year." He wants to use Yizhou as a granary, hehe, don't even think about it. ”

Xi Zhong gave a thumbs up: "Brother Young Chang, you are still smart." To raise the soup to stop boiling, it is better to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. ”…… (To be continued......)
