Chapter 605 The Prince Supervises the Country
"So...Cao Rui is really dead?"
Ma Su only received the news half a month after Cao Rui's death. Faced with this news, Ma Su was envious.
Look at other people, people in their thirties are buried directly, saving them decades of detours. If I had his physical fitness, I wouldn't have to think so hard about insurance fraud.
"It's absolutely true. Now the whole Ye city is in chaos. The newly appointed ministers Tuogu, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, have already tried their best to calm down the chaos in the court."
The person in charge of the Military Affairs Department reported to Ma Su with a smile,
"The task you assigned has been completed. We only used a fire to rescue all the family members of General Tian. Yecheng was in chaos, and several people were burned to death. They were unable to investigate. "
"This relationship is good, God gives you face..." Ma Di nodded slightly, and put aside his previous plan to go to Yecheng to save people in person.
Everyone has been rescued, and there is no need for him to die personally.
After all the gossip, it’s time to think about something serious.
Cao Rui died, and Cao Wei's broken house shook the earth for a long time. Not to mention organizing people to counterattack Luoyang, it is still unclear whether they can stabilize their existing territory.
Judging from the current intelligence, the Wei army in the south has retreated to Xudu. Qiao County and other places have almost given up on treatment, and even the county soldiers have been recruited.
As for Yanzhou, it is completely indifferent. Except for the Wei army stationed in Puyang, the entire Yanzhou was in chaos.
Liu Yin has reported to him many times that a large number of wealthy families in Yanzhou have expressed their loyalty to him openly and secretly. As long as they send troops to receive it, most of Yanzhou can change its flag in an instant.
Regarding this matter, Ma Su had no time to think about it now, so he left full power to Liu Yin and ordered him to handle it on his own.
Now, he had to pack up and prepare to welcome the prince's car.
Ma Su wrote a letter and returned to Chang'an, directly telling Liu Chan that the prince should go to Luoyang to supervise the country. This incident caused an uproar in the court and even shocked Jiang Wan.
If Zhuge Liang hadn't been in Chang'an, he would have probably gone to Luoyang in person to draw Ma Su. In his opinion, such transgression cannot occur no matter what the reason.
However, Liu Chan's attitude towards this is worth pondering. His first reaction was...fuck, there is such a simple and efficient solution!
Liu Chan originally suffered from the expansion of the administrative scope of the Han Dynasty, which led to a significant increase in his workload. Coupled with Zhuge Liang forcing him to take charge, Liu Chan felt the pain of working overtime for the first time.
This was before Kansai was dilapidated, with a small population and not so many affairs to deal with. Liu Chan had already anticipated how long he would have to work overtime after regaining Guandong.
Therefore, Ma Di's proposal made Liu Chan very satisfied. This can not only cultivate the prince's abilities in advance, strengthen his relationship with officials and generals at all levels, but also reduce his own work. At the same time, the prince's life will definitely be good wherever Ma Di is...
In short, after careful consideration, Liu Chan decided to agree to the matter. Although this set a precedent for arrogance, Liu Chan estimated that no one would achieve more than Ma Su in the future.
If someone in the future can reach Ma Su's status, this rule will obviously not be able to restrain him...
Therefore, Prince Liu Xuan had only been stable in Chang'an for two years before he was once again pulled out by Liu Chan and sent to Guandong...
There were many officials who came to Luoyang to supervise the country with Liu Xuan, and many of them were bachelors specially requested by Ma Di. After all, Ma Di was going to open a subject in Guandong in advance to obtain scholars, and all the scholars and officials had to be prepared.
So even if Ma Su knows that there is a bargain in Guandong, he doesn't have time to do it himself. Just let Liu Yin, Jiang Wei and others practice their skills so that they can take over their duties in the future.
Jiang Wei, Liu Yin and others were sent to Guandong, while Ma Di was waiting in Luoyang for the prince to come to supervise the country.
The prince's car arrived at a leisurely pace, and Ma Su received Liu Xuan's arrival not long after waiting. Ma Su went out to greet him personally and met with his students at the foot of Luoyang City.
Four years later, Liu Xuan was already nineteen years old, and it was time for her to be crowned and given a title. The prince, who had been Ma Su's apprentice for ten years, now has a personality more similar to Ma Su's, and seems to be a more martial and aggressive master.
Ma Su was still a little helpless about this. He had always wanted to educate the prince to become Wenjing, but due to personal reasons, he felt that Liu Xuan was still on the road to becoming a Han Dynasty warrior.
But soon, Liu Xuan bowed to him politely, and her behavior suddenly became extremely decent.
"Long time no see, father? Are you still well?"
"It's not bad... His Royal Highness the Prince's Confucianism has not fallen behind, which is indeed good." Ma Di felt a little surprised and said thoughtfully.
"My father's words are wrong. I have always been good at Confucianism. The professors at the Imperial College all call me the best in Confucianism and the leader among my peers." Liu Xuan showed a somewhat complacent smile and cupped his hands.
"I heard that my prime minister was opening a medical school in Luoyang to recruit scholars and asked me to come to supervise the country. My father also specially sent Qin Scholars and Chen Shangshu to come together!"
"Huh? Qin Mi and Chen Zhi are here too?" Ma Su was startled and then said in shock.
"Of course." Liu Xuan nodded and said to Ma Su.
"Tsk... This trust is a bit too much. It's so difficult to cheat the insurance..." Ma Su sighed secretly in his heart, feeling painful and contented.
The trust he now receives is far beyond what a normal minister should have. If it had been anyone else, he would probably have been killed by a lackey, right? On the contrary, his status is getting higher and higher.
"By the way, I would also like to congratulate my father on being promoted to the general of the Han Dynasty! Your current mansion should be renamed the general's mansion." Liu Xu said to Ma Su with a smile, and then the emperor's envoy behind him also stepped forward to read the edict. .
Ma Su won the first battle of the Eastern Expedition and defeated the Wei army. His credit was completely unqualified. Therefore, Wei Yan also took the initiative to retire and gave up his position as general to Ma Di.
Since then, Ma Su has achieved the highest status in this game of thrones. He was awarded the title of general, opened a government office, was appointed as the third division of Yitong, was awarded the title of prince and tutor, and supervised all military affairs at home and abroad... Wait a minute, this progress is a bit wrong.
In short, at the same time that Ma Su became the ultimate figure in military power, Liu Xuan, the prince of the Han Dynasty, also began to supervise the country in Luoyang.
Sizhou, as the most critical territory in Guandong, has always been extremely wealthy. Not only is the land fertile and the population large, but the powerful forces bred here are far more powerful than all the powerful families in Kansai.
There are many noble clans and great power, so naturally many things become very complicated. When Liu Xuan entered Luoyang to supervise the country, the East Palace Palace had not yet been repaired, and a problem arose.
"His Royal Highness, the General, there are newly surrendered soldiers who are complaining, saying that Luoyang Haoyou has usurped their family's property."
