When Sima Yi and others returned to Chang'an, it was a moment of joy in Chang'an.
The reason is that Guan Shanxue, who went to the Western Regions for the second time, is about to return to Chang'an safely.
This time, according to the news he sent back in advance, he not only brought back a large number of rare treasures, but also brought back princes, princesses, ministers and envoys from various countries in the Western Regions to pay tribute to the Ma family.
The officials of the Majia Rites Department have long been familiar with the face project.
What's more, after nearly two years of recuperation, Chang'an, the largest city in this era, has indeed begun to glow with vitality again.
Under the governance of Zhong Yao, a capable and capable minister, although Chang'an was far less prosperous than before the war, it also healed the trauma of the war.
At least, Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace have been renovated several times and have been slightly restored to the old system, showing the royal majesty again.
Although the rest of the palaces do not have the energy to renovate for the time being, the Liushi, Dongshi and West Markets in the Xincheng business district have been restored to their old appearance, and the residential areas have also been given a new look by the slowly rising brick and mud houses.
When Sima Yi went to find Ma Chao to restore his life, Ma Chao was discussing with Cai Yong, Qin Yu and others from the Ministry of Rites at the Shangshu Taiwan about receiving envoys from various countries in the Western Regions.
This visit of foreign envoys was actually the first grand event for the Han Dynasty in more than ten years, so it was no wonder that senior officials like the Ministry of Rites did not take it seriously.
However, Ma Chao knew that the countries in the Western Regions had paid tribute to Cao Wei in history, but at this time, the rise of the Ma family cut off their connection with the Han Dynasty in Xuchang.
And after being deceived by the layers of snow, clouds and fog in Guanshan, those envoys even thought that the Han Dynasty had been replaced by the Ma family.
As for Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others, to countries in the Western Regions, it is as if they do not exist.
"Lord," Qin Yu was once a foreigner after all.
When he learned that the envoys from those countries in the Western Regions were well aware of the glory and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, he felt a little unconfident: "Although Chang'an has greatly changed now, it is still the same as it was a hundred years ago.
Compared with Chang'an, there is really a huge difference.
If these envoys come here in a hurry and see the current scene of Chang'an, will they feel contempt for the Ma family?"
Qin Yu was telling the truth, although Chang'an's technological development and inherent growth potential are now far stronger than the capital of the Han Dynasty a hundred years ago.
But war is always a demon that destroys everything.
After being devastated by it several times, Chang'an can only slowly heal its wounds.
What's more, people have the instinct to exaggerate beautiful things.
Those officials from the Western Regions who came to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty a hundred years ago may have already described Chang'an as a beautiful and beautiful place after returning to their home countries.
Metropolis.
But Ma Chao didn't feel much about this issue.
He crossed his legs and said with a teasing smile: "Our Ma family never takes the ordinary path.
What's more, you didn't notice that Guan Shanxue reported this time that , are there any princes or princesses from various countries among the envoys coming this time?"
"This" Cai Yong really couldn't keep up with Ma Chao's logic, and had to admit that he might be more suitable to resign and concentrate on studying calligraphy.
Qin Yu on the side saw that Cai Yong was confused and explained in a low voice: "Mr.
Cai, if there are princes or princesses on the envoys, there is generally only one possibility.
That is that they are constantly in danger of destroying the country.
From this , these princes and princesses can seek refuge in other countries.”
Cai Yong suddenly realized that he really had to admire Ma Chao's understanding of the subtleties, but he never knew that Ma Chao was all because of his knowledge of history.
"Since those guys have the need to seek asylum, then our Ma family focuses on the military brand.
Guan Shanxue and five thousand Ma family troops can make the name of the Ma family in the Western Regions.
So this time the Chang'an Guards have just finished reorganizing, we Get a group of people to hold a military parade in Chang'an and let them watch the ceremony."
"My lord is wise" Qin Yu was very happy.
Indeed, there was no doubt that there was chaos in the Western Regions, and Guan Shanxue was able to return to Chang'an safely twice.
From this, it can be inferred that the Ma Jiajun's combat power must have exerted a certain degree of deterrence in the Western Regions. .
If there is really another military parade this time, how can those princes, princesses and envoys from various countries in the Western Regions bother to see whether the palaces in Chang'an are exquisite or majestic?
"Also, when they come this time, we can't be lenient.
Regarding this reception, your etiquette department and the people in the household department should have a clear understanding.
Let Li Zihao, Zhang Yupan and others put aside what they are doing, if necessary. , you can also invite Yue'er to come out and fool the envoys."
As Ma Chao spoke, his eyes began to shine with golden light, as if he had fallen into the eyes of money: "For those countries that can still stand strong, let them establish long-term trade relations with the Ma family; and for those who want to take refuge, For the descendants of small countries, we will distribute their national wealth.
If necessary, we can send out the Ma family army to bring back their property.
Remember, the Ma family will never try to make a fool of themselves by pretending to be fat, or do stupid things that are honorable but not honorable."

Cai Yong, Qin Yu and others have long been accustomed to Ma Chao's bandit ideas, until Cai Yong, a sage who upholds etiquette, music and Huang Zhong, didn't bother to speak.
After all, countless incidents have already made Cai Yong understand who is whose leader, and the face of his father-in-law and father-in-law is really not a very powerful bargaining chip in front of Ma Chao.
And Qin Yu, a guy who has a much better ability to accept innovation than the old man Cai Yong, after hearing Ma Chao's remarks, he even added with a bright smile: "Lord, I don't think the mistress is needed this time, Wei.
Miss Zhen Mi from the county is unparalleled in beauty, elegant in conversation, and well versed in business.
She is currently staying in Chang'an.
If she uses this beauty trick, she is not afraid that those outsiders will fall into the Ma family's pocket."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu looked up and saw Ma Chao's face, wishing he could slap himself immediately: Zhen Mi was indeed in Chang'an this time, and it was said that she even went to Prince Yong's Mansion to visit Ma Chao.
However, after that day, Ma Chao's expression was gloomy for three days.
Later, according to rumors, it seemed that the arrival of Miss Zhen Mi once again caused a big earthquake in Ma's backyard.
Qin Yu took a deep breath for Ma Chao as he thought about the gentle terror in Ma Chao's backyard, which was as gentle and terrifying as the undercurrent of the abyss, or the rising waves of violence.
Fortunately, when Qin Yu didn't know how to remedy the situation, a voice came from outside the door and relieved Qin Yu: "My lord, this is another good opportunity for the envoys from this country to come."
Sima Yi Shiran walked in with an expression that was overflowing with pride and a joy that jumped all over his body.
When Cai Yong and Qin Yu saw Sima Yi's appearance, they knew that Sima Yi was going to make another plan that would make the enemy defenseless.
Ma Chao immediately beamed with joy and said: "You mean, this time I will reveal the news of the complete break between the Han Dynasty and the Cao family to the envoys in the Western Regions, and then the Ma family will pretend to be loyal to the Han Dynasty."
Sima Yi's enthusiasm disappeared half after Ma Chao's words.
He could hear that Ma Chao had learned everything about Yanzhou, and he couldn't help but feel a little uninterested: "Yes, this is the case, which will give the Cao family greater moral integrity." suppress.
At the same time, it also made everyone in the world focus on the bits and pieces of the Han Dynasty and the Cao family, making them walk on thin ice and get into trouble.
Only then could Ma Chao remain unmoved without knowing it.
With one soldier and one soldier, we captured the seven counties of Jingzhou."
"As expected of the little fox, he said what I was thinking in one sentence."
As expected, the smile on Ma Chao's lips began to turn into the kind of smile that everyone is already very familiar with and only appears before the conspiracy.
But then the smile turned into a complex one with a hint of regret.
He smacked his lips, looked past Sima Yi at the increasingly pale clouds in the eastern sky, and said as if talking to himself: "It seems that the Cao family has indeed begun to decline.
As long as I find a suitable time and a suitable excuse, and there is another life-and-death battle between the two families, I will no longer have to keep my mind there.
"After saying this, Ma Chao couldn't help but make a slight smile.
Laughing: "That guy, I never imagined that we would still have such a tacit understanding in our second cooperation.
But this time, compared with the time when we plotted to kill Dong Zhuo, he actually thought it would go smoothly.
I don't know, I saw him again What will it be like when he comes?"
"That day is really exciting."
Ma Chao stretched out his right hand to hold it, his eyes already a little drunk
