Chapter Seventy-Nine: Disheartened

Jun Shang ...... Ma Yue never thought that one day others would call him with such honorifics.

It's just a few words, but the distance in the middle is 108,000 miles away.

From San Lang to Jun Hou, from Jun Hou to Jun Hao, from Jun Hao to Jun Hao, from Jun Jun to the general, from the general to the king. The higher the status, the more respected, but always backfired.

Authority, Respect...... What he wanted to control, he ended up controlling himself.

At the end of the third year of this year, the snow in Liangzhou will come later.

Ma Yue wrapped himself in an old bearskin cloak in a thick cotton coat, and sat in the courtyard of the Liangwang Mansion staring blankly at the frozen lake. He wanted to play the piano, but the stiff, cold strings scratched his fingers, and the path he had traveled over the years changed in his mind...... Some time ago, he climbed Mount Chang alone, and the villages of the people at the foot of the mountain had long been destroyed by the war, and the place where everything started no longer existed.

The large undulating area turned the old place he was familiar with into a military camp, and in the distance was a beach where the shepherds grazed their horses...... A group of soldiers and horses under the command of the second brother Ma Zong are stationed here all the year round, guarding the heroic souls of the fallen soldiers.

These years of southern and northern wars, left countless tombstones in Zhangshan, they were once also living Liangzhou men, just like the Ma family, laughing and scolding fresh clothes and angry horses, because those horses raised the battle flag to quell the rebellion in all directions, and now they are sleeping in Zhangshan, and Qingshan is neighbors.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Ma Yue turned his head, put down the guqin at a loss, and said with a smile: "You guys are here." ”

Jia Xu and Cheng Li came together, I'm afraid something big happened.

"Is your lord okay?" Jia Xu took Cheng Li to Ma Yue's side with a smiling face, and Cheng Li followed behind Jia Xu with a straight face, looking at Ma Yue silently.

Ma Yue just smiled lightly and said, "Fortunately, the affairs of Liangguo have worked hard for you." ”

"It's not hard, but Your Majesty, the people need you to stand up and preside over the overall situation." Jia Xu really has never seen anything like this, he has sealed the king and stayed in the palace all day without leaving home, ignoring political affairs and not asking about military affairs, as if he no longer cares about everything, "You don't plan to come out and have a look?" ”

"Hey, wouldn't you do well without me? Don't talk about this, how about it, did the horse play send a message back? ”

In the face of Ma Yue's attitude, Jia Xu was a little secretly angry, although he understood that everything Ma Yue did was in accordance with the etiquette law, and the princes and kings were not allowed to interfere in politics, lead the army, or raise dead soldiers...... On the contrary, the princes and kings are the most enjoyable of all titles, but the ones with the least real power. Not even comparable to the marquis's generals. Jia Xu understood that Ma Yue was doing the right thing, but he just couldn't accept it.

Ma Yue just wants to go one step further now, and he really wants to usurp the throne like the little emperor, and there will still be so many people who follow him behind him, and it will not change...... Even the people's hearts are more stable, if Ma Yue becomes the emperor, they are all founding fathers! Many of the descendants of Emperor Guangwu's 28 generals of Yuntai are still majestic until now, and even families like Hedongwei have made great achievements for Emperor Xiaowu, so that their families are respected until now.

Who doesn't want to go one step further when they don't get to the end?

It's just that Jia Xu knew that Ma Yue had touched a soft nail this time, and he was a little disheartened.

"Back to the king, General Ma went west for 3,000 miles, helped the car division to annex the former country, coincided with the car division country, and remotely received the car division of the car division to descend to the Han general position, and two months ago led the army south to Shanshan country, and sent a message to spend the winter in Shanshan country. It should have arrived by now. Cheng Li responded at the right time: "Along with General Ma's letter, there are also the envoys of the Cheshi Kingdom who have declared themselves to His Majesty, and after knowing the current situation, the envoys of the Cheshi gave up their eastward march and agreed to pay tribute to the Liang State every year. ”

"You suffer?" Ma Yue glanced at Cheng Li helplessly, these subordinates were forced to go to the end of the traitorous party, and now the private generation of the Han was worshiped by the Che Shiguo, which can be regarded as a real rebellion. Seeing that Cheng Li didn't intend to answer at all, Ma Yue knew that it was a superfluous move for him to ask this sentence, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Ma Yue waved his hand weakly, during this time he had no strength to think about anything, and he didn't care about those things, as if he had lost his goal, and the whole person seemed empty.

What else do you want him to do? At the beginning, he worked hard for this family, and he was never afraid of bloody battles. Later, he fought hard for the emperor and the world, even if he was bloodstained all his life, he never complained about anything. Walking on the road to the northwest, more and more heroes gathered around him, and he was not lonely along the way.

even married a wife and had children, and fought for great prestige in the world, so majestic.

Although he didn't really enjoy anything, not even the privileges that came with a knighthood were substantial. Normal people usually feel the deepest is that they don't have to pay taxes, but he has never paid taxes himself, and his brother has always paid for him in the past, and then he should pay it himself, but he suddenly has military exploits and is exempt from taxes.

Now, what could he ask for? I just want to stay at home with my wife and watch my son grow up.

"Your Majesty, the state pastor is here, and the soldiers and horses are entering the city!"

The guards ran over with their lives, and Jia Xu suddenly frowned and asked, "How many people?" ”

"Two, no, three or four hundred!" The pawn of the Liangzhou army panicked, and said incoherently: "The soldiers are strong and strong, they all carry weapons and armor, your lord, the doorman can't stop them, what should I do?" ”

Jia Xu's brows furrowed even deeper, what he was afraid of, what he was most afraid of was that Dong Zhuo was messing around with this Dong Zhuo in Bingzhou, this is good, Dong Zhuo personally sent his troops here, could it be that he also wanted to be the king of Liang? If the soldiers and horses come here quietly, will the Bingzhou army have fallen into the entire territory of Liangzhou? Jia Xu didn't dare to think about it, Jia Xu looked at Cheng Li with blame, but he didn't notice Ma Yue's expression.

Ma Yue's expression was unwavering, as if he hadn't heard Dong Zhuo with soldiers and horses, and waved his hand to the pawn and asked, "Which general's subordinate are you?" ”

The garrison of Longxian County is also too cowardly, and only 500 people are scared like this? Ma Dai, Yan Xing, and Ma Chao should really be brought in, the armored army is the real elite soldiers, and ordinary soldiers like them can't do it at all.

"Okay, you two don't blame anymore, Dong Lao Er likes to pay attention to pomp and scare, don't you know?" Ma Yue got up and smiled, he realized what it was like for other princes to see their soldiers and horses in the past, damn, most of them were so scared that half of the three souls and seven spirits were lost, and he waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Go and invite the generals of Liangzhou, and the palace will set up a banquet tonight!" ”

Liu Xie can not trust him, but he cannot distrust Dong Zhuo and others.

Dong Zhuo has no loyalty to the Han family, but in the final analysis, he is still an old brother with himself.

The attendant wolf ran around the mound suddenly, for him, it was the fierce and vicious Dong Zhuo who came, but for Ma Yue, it was the prince with the highest military achievements and the most fierce battle around him who visited.

"The Flying Bear Army listens to the order, unloads the weapon, assists in the defense of the city, and Lord Liang will give you the most beautiful liquor and Jiao Niang tonight!"

With the sound of wild laughter, a majestic ball-like figure jumped into the gate of the palace, and the dissatisfied face was covered with a terrible scar from the bridge of the nose to the jaw, making the whole cheek even more hideous. This representative face and a name that will make people feel afraid in the cold land and even the world - Dong Zhuo.

However, unlike what everyone in the palace imagined, this hideous-looking Dong Zhuo was holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in his left hand, swaddling clothes in his right arm, followed by Yingying Yanyan and a family member, followed by a high-eyebrow and deep-eyed guard.

Where is there such a drag on the family to make trouble? Only then did they understand that Dong Zhuo was treating the palace as his maiden home and came to string relatives.

Damn, is it such a big show for a string of relatives?

"Good granddaughter, come, hold your uncle and kowtow to King Liang." Dong Zhuo looked around in the house, and saw Ma Yue who was wrapped in a bear skin in the pavilion and smiled at him from a distance, put down his granddaughter Dong Bai, and put his right son into Dong Bai's arms, the heavy fat boy shook Dong Bai Shen and almost didn't catch it, Dong Zhuo thought about it, hunched his waist and hugged Dong Bai towards Ma Yue, and when he got closer, he directly pulled Dong Bai to bow down and salute, "And the state pastor Dong Zhuo, meet His Royal Highness King Liang!" ”

Suddenly, a group of miscellaneous Hu generals behind him pushed Jinshan and knelt down in three rows, as well as those Dong Zhuo's family members, even Dong Bai knelt on the ground with the little guy in his arms and bowed milkily: "Meet King Liang." ”

Jia Xu and Cheng Li looked at each other, and they couldn't understand where Ma Yue's composure and Dong Zhuo's bastard came from.

"Okay, Brother Zhong, what are you doing between me and my brothers, get up quickly." Ma Yue was not as calm as they thought, he took a few steps forward to pull Dong Zhuo up and then personally pulled Dong Bai up, holding Dong Zhuo's son and looking into the swaddling clothes, this fat boy was sleeping soundly in the cold winter wax moon, he really inherited his fat father's good physique, like Ma San'er's son in this season is eager to go out for half a year. It's also strange to say, Dong Zhuo didn't make trouble with his son, even Dong Bai didn't move at all when he held the child, Ma Yue woke up as soon as he received the child in his hand, and he cried vigorously when he saw Ma Yue.

However, in the past few months, I have gained some experience in taking care of children at home, and I have taken care of the children one by one, and I quickly made Xiao Dong Fat'er happy, and Dong Zhuo was amazed, "San Lang, you are so smart, what's the matter?" Why doesn't the child cry? ”

"This kid of yours is the same as the one in my family, he is a horse, and he is happy when he is upside down, but he is not happy when he is calm and steady. But Brother Zhong, you too, what should I do if the kid freezes and falls sick in this cold winter, go, let's go into the house with me first. Ma Yue held Xiao Dong Fat in one hand, pulled Xiao Dong Bai in the other, and walked towards the palace with Dong Zhuo and his family.
