The war in Jizhou died down with the destruction of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses, and for a time all the counties and counties in the state posted a list to calm the people, ushering in a big purge from top to bottom.

The soldiers and horses under the banner of cool characters are still roaming around the land of Jizhou all day long, but if Ni Duan finds a little rebellion, he will be exterminated, leaving no room and no one to live.

The thirteenth year since the founding of the People's Republic of China is the most powerful and energetic moment in Liangguo.

Before the winter, Ma Chao and Ma Dai, the major generals of the Liang Kingdom, received the seals of the left and right generals respectively, and commanded the soldiers and horses to fight with the soldiers and horses left by Gongsun Zan outside the pass in the north of the Great Wall, and surrendered more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Throughout the winter, the land of Jizhou was full of personnel transfers. In the battle between Ma Yue and Gongsun Zhan for Jizhou, the biggest benefit was the Zhongshan Zhen family. Zhen Yan got his wish and received the Zhongshan County Taishou, in addition to the young Zhen Yao also led the Zhao County Taishou, the Zhongshan Zhen clan led the two counties, and did not disappoint Ma Yue, relying on the prestige of the big clan and the uninterrupted efforts to help the people over the years, he fell to the fastest speed to stabilize the situation after the war.

There are not many things left for Ma Yue in winter, because there is not much to do in winter.

The concubine was put on the agenda.

This was the first time in Ma Yue's life, and he had thought a long time ago that he might take one or two concubines in his life, but he never really took this idea to heart. He thought that when he finally took a concubine, he might turn the drinking place where his friends gathered into a large tent.

He always thought that the first concubine he took on would be a Qiang girl, or a princess of the Southern Xiongnu, even if it was the daughter of a Xianbei general.

But what he never thought was that he would accept a daughter of a Han clan, or a strange woman who left a name in history.

He hadn't thought about it at all.

In the night sky of Liangzhou, there was never a moment when the future was uncertain, and he always wondered if he should marry Qingyang or the powerful tribe in the high mountains. Later, in the first days of the founding of the Liang State, he sat in his courtyard and watched the snowflakes fall, wanting to take a concubine of the Southern Xiongnu to gain the support of the Huns, but the second brother Dong didn't say anything, and ordered the whole land to change the flag in half a month, and sent troops to Tongguan.

The grace and righteousness of the same suffering, Ma Yue, will never forget it in this life.

In a blink of an eye, such a good thing as taking a concubine was dragged by Ma Yue to the winter of Jian'an for ten years.

According to custom, the wedding should be held in Ma Yue's hometown, that is, the capital of Liangguo, but first, the weather is cold, and secondly, Ma Yue will continue to move troops next year and will not live in Jizhou for a long time, so he chose to be in the Taishou Mansion in Yecheng.

The city of Ye County has experienced too much blood, and it should be celebrated with a red veil.

Ma Chao led the troops to garrison the Great Wall, and he will not move this winter. Therefore, Ma Dai led thousands of horses all the way south from the Great Wall, and Yu Wuji took out the team to send off his relatives and welcomed them all the way to Yecheng.

The concubine didn't have so much etiquette, so she just sent out invitations and invited her subordinates and Zhen's old friends to the mansion for a banquet, and it was over at night.

What's more, neither side has parents, Ma Yue is his own parent, and Zhen's side is Zhen Mi's brother Zhen Yan. This is a ceremonial banquet, so there is no distinction between high and low, but the seats of Zhen Yan and Ma Yue are at the front, and the seats are arranged according to their official positions and identities.

And just one seat is also emotional.

Zhen's old friends are all famous figures in the old days, most of them are characters of Ma Yue's generation, and they have their own prestige in the county as early as the time of the first emperor.

However, none of them were ranked in front of the generals of the Liang Kingdom.

"Joke, didn't you see the new Jizhou Mu Jia Wenhe and Cai worthy of sitting in the fourth seat? The third seat in front is Guan Yunchang, the general of Liangguo, didn't you see that there were still injuries on your body? In the battle of Yecheng, the infantry and crossbow array alone forcibly killed the infantry and cavalry army of the same strength as General Gongsun, and completely annihilated General Gongsun's white horse righteous servants in the first battle.

Counting further back, the right general Ma Dai is the nephew of King Liang, a real general with two thousand stones, can you take the seat in front of him? Needless to say, the later general Yan Xing, when you were the first emperor, you were still engaged in assassinating Shi Wang Fen in Jizhou, and this young man was already the captain of Changshui in the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, and you know that the soldiers were stationed in Chengyangmen, it was him...... Hush! General Yan came over, don't speak. ”

In front of King Liang, Yan Xing was holding the wine bowl and heard the old man from Jizhou in the back seat pointing at him, so he turned his head and glanced over. It's just a few old guys who are content with the status quo, Yan Xing blinked his eyes, pursed his thin lips and snorted softly, got up with the wine bowl and left the table to toast Zhen Yan.

What's the deal with them?

Long before the chaos in the world, the status of these people was lower than that of King Liang! Now it's even a family general like himself.

At this time, Yan Xing suddenly thought of Wei Qi who was showing off his might in front of the Liang Mansion who had just been given the Zhu Gate, but he didn't know what that person was doing now.

Troubled times are a disaster for some, but for others, they are a chance to prove themselves.

In fact, many people are inferior not because of their ability or courage, but because they are unable to prove themselves with their talents under the existing class.

Many people have been preparing wings all their lives, and they can make a pair of wings that can shake 90,000 miles, but they can't wait for the strong wind that can take them off anyway.

It's not that they're lazy, it's not that they're mixed, it's that they haven't been able to seize an opportunity to stand up all their lives.

How many people know that they don't want to die slowly in failure and loneliness, and they don't want to live at the bottom all the time.

There's no chance!

Even today, Yan Xing knew that there were still people criticizing them behind them, after all, this was still an era of recognizable origin.

But the difference is that those people can only say it secretly behind their backs now, and they can only secretly point at Guan Yu's majestic back behind their backs and say, do you know that Guan Yunchang, the general of Liangguo, is just a fugitive who runs to the countryside to collect skins. Or pointing at him, Yan Yanming said that he was just a foreigner whose tribe had been killed.

But who cares about these things? Criticizing them for any other reason can only mean that they admit defeat, and they have really lost to these people who are from low backgrounds in the ground, and they know in their hearts that they will not be able to surpass their achievements in this life and this life, so they can only take out the corpses of their ancestors from the grave and point at them and say, 'Look, their Lao Tzu is not as great as our Lao Tzu, compared to their Lao Tzu is a waste!' ’

In fact, that's stupid!

Without the support of a strong Lao Tzu, people are still better than you!

This is also the reason why Guan Yu, Ma Wan, Yan Xing, Yang Feng, Gan Ning and others are loyal to Ma Yue. Because for them, Ma Junhao's three big characters inlaid with gold edges are the symbols engraved on them, and they are also the opportunity for them to become masters.

If there was no Ma Yue, they might be more successful than the fugitives who collected skins, the orphans who stole vegetable leaves, the rangers who smuggled money, and the thieves who robbed merchant ships, but they knew that without Ma Yue, there would be no current generals of the Liang Kingdom, no generals of Zhengxi who wore the seal of the 28 generals of the Guanxi Kingdom, no generals who were in charge of thousands of assassins in the Splitting Wood Academy, and no generals who commanded the heavy armor of the Liang Kingdom to conquer the city.

They are real people.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Ma Yue cleared his throat and said to Zhen Yan: "Brother Zhen, there is something I have to tell you, if Ma and Ling Mei have a male in the future, he may not be surnamed Ma." ”

As soon as Ma Yue's words came out, the whole room was stunned, and even the Youling who was playing sheng and drum music around was suffocated.

Zhen and Ma are married, but it is not a simple concubine, Ma Yue's sentence is simply to sweep Zhen's pride away, what is the reason why he has a child and does not have the surname Ma?

"Your Highness, this ...... Why is that? ”

It's really Ma Yue's status is different from ordinary people, if a family background with equal status says this, I'm afraid that Zhen Yan will flip the table, who is this looking down on!

"Brother Zhen calmed his anger and listened to Ma slowly, which involved Ma's promise when he was young." Ma Yue said sincerely: "I think you also know that Ma started at the end of the year, and today thanks to the arch guard behind him who fights with his life without leaving any room, now, some people are still sitting here, but some people can no longer sit here." ”

As Ma Yue spoke, Wan Ning, the captain of the armored school who was sitting below, got up and grinned at the maids who played the sheng and piano with a fierce face, urging them to play music.

The music sounded as usual, and it was the singing and dancing Shengping and the other adults who reacted to their gaffes, and hurriedly pretended to be chatting in a hurry, in fact, everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation of the king of Liang at the top.

They knew that what Ma Yue said next would directly determine the status of the Zhen family in Jizhou and even the whole Liang country after the marriage.

"Brother Zhen may have been young when that incident happened, I don't know how much I remember about the eighth lieutenant set up by the first emperor during his reign?"

"Eighth Captain?" Zhen Yan frowned, this matter is too old, it was almost twenty years ago, and he arched his hand and said: "I really don't know much about it, I would like to hear it in detail." ”

"At that time, the first emperor was the right to divide the general He Jin, and he established the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan in the West Mansion." Ma Yue thought of the eventful years in the past, and said with a little emotion on his face: "Among them, the captain of the military academy is in the Yellow Gate, which can control the general and control the power of the world's soldiers and horses. ”

"His Royal Highness was also one of the eight captains back then?" Zhen Yan's generation didn't know much about the things at that time, even for Ma Yue, they only knew that Ma Yue was already a partial general when he was the first emperor, and he was promoted to a lieutenant, so he asked so.

Ma Yue immediately laughed, how much he wanted to be the eighth lieutenant back then, shook his head and smiled: "Ma was still imprisoned in the Huangmen Temple prison by the first emperor back then, and it was a great luck that he was lucky not to die, where would he expect the eighth lieutenant." At that time, because the first emperor was important, Jian Huangmen and Ma a blind date, chaos in the court, the first emperor left a testament to die, the two of us are the enemies of the world, whether the general He Jin or his brother He Miao, or Yuan Shao and other seven captains, all want to kill the two of us, so we are brothers with different surnames inside and outside the palace to attack and defend each other. ”

"You probably know what happened later, that is, I killed He Jin, took charge of the Chaogang and established the first emperor alone, and won a great meritorious service and was named the Marquis of Meiyang." Saying that, Ma Yue didn't show any expression on his face, but Zhen Yan clearly saw the sadness in his eyes, "Brother Jian was assassinated in the Jiade Hall for the first emperor's guard, and when Brother Jian was rich and noble, there was nothing in this world that he wanted but couldn't get, but there was only one thing, he couldn't get it, he wanted a son." ”

Ma Yue got up and bowed to Zhen Yan, and said: "The righteous brother has passed away, Ma is going to fulfill this wish for him, and give him a son to inherit his surname, and in the future, the surname will be the Liangguo clan, and his father's merits should be the county marquis, so even if the child is incapacitated, he will inherit his father's title, and he was born as the marquis of Hanyang County, enjoying 2,000 households, and I hope that Brother Zhen will agree." ”
