Chapter 598: Nine Tin!


During the three days when Bu Zhao was so busy compiling the system of three provinces and six ministries, Ma Chao was not idle either.

He worked personally and with the help of his ministers, quickly and methodically completed the Ma family's move to Chang'an.

Naturally, such a quick relocation was in accordance with Ma Chao's original plan to move only government offices and personnel to Chang'an.

But even so, Ma Chao was so busy that he didn't even have the energy to comfort the poor Fu Shou.

However, thankfully, during this period, Ma Chao discovered two more of his subordinates.

One is Zhong Yao and Zhong Yuanchang, and the other is Dong Zhao and Dong Gongren who tried hard to escape Chang'an.

These two people are obviously much more sophisticated and proficient in handling internal affairs than ordinary operators.

When the two of them do things, they often make up for the possibilities they think of in advance without Ma Chao's instructions.

They are very thoughtful and courageous.

Among them, Zhong Yao, Zhong Yuanchang and Ma Chao are known.

When this man governed the Sanfu area under Cao Cao, it only took him three years to restore vitality to the Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an, which had been devastated by wars and had only ten houses and nine empty houses, and the refugees moved back.

Dong Zhao also served as the magistrate of Luoyang in history, with outstanding political achievements, making the dilapidated Luoyang, in less than ten years, convenient and prosperous for the people, and restored the glory of the ancient capital.

Moreover, these two people are not only talented in internal affairs.

Among them, Zhong Yao also personally directed the defeat of the joint rebellion of the Xiongnu Chanyu and Yuan Shang's old subordinate Guo Yuan.

He also successively defeated the rebellion of Wei Gu in Hedong and the harassment of enemy invaders such as Zhang Sheng, Zhang Yan, and Gao Gan in the border areas.

He has made great military exploits; Dong Zhao's record is also very good.

He is good at strategy.

When he was appointed by Yuan Shao to join the army, Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army with tens of thousands of troops, repeatedly invaded Wei County.

Dong Zhao sent him first The envoys came and went, bought through the trade market, secretly paid spies with thick coins, secretly alienated the generals of the Montenegrin army, and then took advantage of the situation to attack, thus destroying the Heishan.

In two days, documents to defeat the enemy were sent to Yuan Shao's desk three times.

What's even more valuable is that Dong Zhao advocated kingship to control the world in his later period, which coincided with Ma Chao's strategic thinking, making Ma Chao feel comfortable in appointing him.

In the past two days, Ma Chao saw these two talented people and was very pleased in private.

He felt that the two of them were more talented than the first minister of the interior under him, and they were no less generous.

In his mind, he had already decided on the two future governors of Chang'an and Luoyang, two important ancient capitals.

Thinking that with such two talented people in both civil and military affairs, and two good generals who can destroy cities and strongholds and fight fiercely, Chang'an and Luoyang can be made impregnable, and he can plan the world with peace of mind.

However, it was just the day before Bu Zhao was to come up with the draft system of three provinces and six ministries.

However, Ma Chao received a message from Shadow.

After reading the content, he said something treacherous in front of Diao Chan and Liu Yue: "Liu Xie is still the same virtuous person, and a dog can't change it and eats shit."

When Diao Chan heard this, she was not moved at all.

Liu Yue's expression didn't change at all, she just asked out of curiosity: "Husband, what exactly is going on?

How do you make your judgment?"

Ma Chao handed the secret letter in his hand to Liu Yue and said with a smile: "When Liu Xie was in Chang'an, he used me to fight against the nobles.

But now in Xudu, he still wants to use me to compete with Cao Cao.

Doesn't he think about it?

, how miserable the consequences of using me will be.”

Liu Yue took the secret letter and looked at it.

What he saw on it was what Cao Cao did after welcoming Emperor Xian back: Cao Cao welcomed Luan and drove to Xudu, built palaces and palaces, established ancestral temples, and established provincial and provincial offices. , built the city walls and treasury; granted Dong Cheng and other thirteen people the rank of marquis.

Reward merits and punishments, and listen to Cao Cao's disposal.

Cao Cao proclaimed himself General Wu Pinghou, with Xun Yu as his minister, Cheng Yu as his military advisor, Xi Zhicai as his minister, Xi Zhicai as his minister, Liu Ye as his minister, Cao Cao, and Mao Jie and Ren Jun as his ministers, Dian Nong and Zhong Lang.

Urging and supervising money and grain, Jiang Ji As the prime minister of Dongping, Fan became the commander of Xudu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong were all generals, Lu Qian, Li Dian, Yue Jin, and Yu Jin were all school captains, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were all captains, and the rest of the officers and men were assigned to their respective duties.

Official title.

All power was vested in Cao Cao, and important affairs of the court were reported to Cao Cao first and then to the emperor.

In addition, this secret letter also vaguely mentioned that Liu Xie's imperial edict to confer Ma Chao was on the way, and he would probably arrive in Chang'an today.

When Ma Chao said that Liu Xie's dog could not change his habit of eating shit, he was referring to the poor rich and handsome man in his previous life.

After traveling through time and becoming a 95-year-old man, he could only look up to others one after another.

In the end, he still relied on the prestige of his peers to achieve a little success.

Mention something about your identity.

It has to be said that it is also sad to be the emperor.

However, Ma Chao would not refuse such a good thing at all: not only can he see his colleague suffer, but he can also take advantage of Liu Xie's east wind to play rogue and canonize his subordinates and generals.

It is really satisfying to the bottom of his heart. thing Sure enough, as soon as the afternoon sun disappeared, Ma Chao received the imperial edict.

The imperial edict mentioned that Ma Chao's mission of guarding hundreds of officials of the Han Dynasty and escorting them back to Xudu was a remarkable achievement through the ages.

The emperor was grateful for Ma Chao's achievements and gave Ma Chao the gift of nine tins.

Jiuxi are nine kinds of ritual objects given by ancient Chinese emperors to princes and ministers with special honors.

The nine kinds of special gifts are: chariots and horses, clothes, music, Zhuhu, Nabi, Huben, axe, bow and arrow, and 鬯.

It is the highest courtesy that princes and ministers can enjoy.

These ritual vessels are usually only used by the emperor, and the formal significance of the reward is far greater than the use value.

What is even more interesting is that in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was awarded Jiuxi by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his son Cao Pi established Cao Wei; Sun Quan nominally surrendered to Cao Wei and was awarded Jiuxi, but a few years later he rebelled against the Wei Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor and founded Soochow; Sima Zhao was awarded by Cao Wei Jiuxi, and later his son Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty.

In other words, none of the ministers who had been trained by Jiuxi stayed on their own terms, and they all later changed jobs and went solo.

Only Zhuge Liang, whose name will be remembered throughout the ages, refused to accept Jiuxi's title of king, saying that he would accept it after the Wei was destroyed.

However, he left behind a reputation as a loyal minister for all generations.

Later in history, the founding emperors of the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties all received Jiuxi, so Jiuxi became synonymous with usurpation.

At the age of only seventeen, Ma Chao was promoted to the general of the Hussars of the Han Dynasty.

He enjoyed several honors such as gold seal and purple ribbon, fake festivals, rank as the Three Dukes, brave Dinghou, and Jiuxi.

He was simply a Han Dynasty general.

The youngest minister since the founding of the dynasty.

Even Huo Qubing, who drove the Xiongnu into the desert with his whip and horse, was not as prominent as Ma Chao.

Although Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao later became domineering and authoritarian and were conferred the title of Grand Master and Prime Minister above ten thousand people, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao were already in their fifties at that time.

After Ma Chao won this honor, it can be said that he is unbeatable.

The last highest honor to be removed is: to be crowned king From this, Ma Chao raised his eyes and looked at the nine extremely noble things.

He couldn't help but smile brightly and shouted willingly: "My emperor is wise, and I will do my best to help the Han Dynasty."

But what Ma Chao didn't expect was that after accepting the gift of Jiuxi, Yushi Wang Li actually came up with another imperial edict.

After Ma Chao listened to the contents of the imperial edict, his face was extremely dark and ugly: Liu Xie asked him to guard Yongzhou and Sili.

In other words, he must destroy Han Xian who was entrenched in Luoyang.

Moreover, the date mentioned in the imperial edict was Xing Before the first year of Ping Dynasty Of course, the subtext behind the scenes is that Ma Chao must also provide relief to all the victims in the Sili area next year. s: I would like to thank Tang Xiaomi, Zihao, and Xia Mo for their birthday wishes, and also thank Xiaomi for the red envelope.

I won’t say anything else.

Although I still have infusions today, let’s start walking as usual:
