"Quiet!" Zhang Rang saw Liu Hong frowning and shouted loudly, and the ministers below quieted down.

Liu Hongfu nodded and said, "Since Ma Maocai has been ordered by Guo Tingshi, and for the sake of righteousness, it is okay to do it temporarily." ”

Liu Hong's words can be regarded as defining this matter, and Jian Yong also let out a long breath, finally fulfilling his mission.

"Your Majesty, no!" Yang Ci stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything must not begin, the old minister also knows that Ma Mao is for the sake of righteousness, but in the future, others can also take advantage of the righteous people to appoint themselves as officials, wouldn't the world be in chaos?" ”

Zhang Rang looked at Yang Ci and said with a smile, "What Yang Gong said is reasonable, why don't you capture this bold Ma Maocai into Luolai and kill him?" ”

"This.." Yang Ci's eyes moved.

This is naturally impossible, once this is the case, wouldn't the Yang family have a reputation for harming the virtuous.

"Your Majesty, merit will not be rewarded, but punished, I am afraid that if this happens, there will be no more righteous people in the world."

Jian Yong was almost scared to death by Zhang Rang's words, is this dead eunuch talking so loudly?

"I'm afraid Yang Gong doesn't know yet, Shanggu County Shou Gong Sha Fu and Dai County Shou Wang Ze have all been written, hoping that the imperial court will appoint Ma Qiang as the assassin of the history, the document is here, please look at it!"

What a guts! Yang Ci glared angrily, this one dared to detain official documents privately!

"Even so, there should be another person, and the imperial court can give Ma Qiang other official positions as a reward!" Yuan Kui said.

In this matter, the interests of the Yuan family and the Yang family are the same, and the central government's control over the local government must not be reduced, otherwise, the country will not be a country! Those of them who occupy the center will also lose their value completely!

"Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal! The old minister is willing to recommend Liu Yu as the assassin of Youzhou! An old minister came out to recommend that this person was Cui Lie, who was the court lieutenant at the time.

The Cui family is also a generation of officials, its ancestors are the Western Han Dynasty Donglai Hou Cui Yiru, and then can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period Cui Zhu, can be described as a millennium family, but at this time the Cui family is not to mention compared with the Yuan family and the Yang family, even the Huang family is much inferior, the last time their family came out of the three dukes has been traced back to Wang Mang's era, within three generations, there is only one Jiuqing, therefore, he has always been to the restoration of the lintel as his own responsibility. Recommending Liu Yu was his overture to Liu Hong, and Liu Hong couldn't help but be moved when he heard it.

Liu Yu was the minister of Ganling at this time, and helped Lu Zhi to pacify the local people in Jizhou, he used to be the assassin of Youzhou, and his reputation in Youzhou was very high, and the Cui family was on the edge of Youzhou, so he naturally knew Liu Yu's status in Youzhou, so he proposed this candidate, and many people seconded it.

"Your Majesty, Liu Boan is only good at civilian, not military." Zhao Zhong on Liu Hong's side said in a low voice, "Since Ma Maocai is good at military affairs, it is better to take Liu Bo'an as the assassin and Ma Maocai as the captain, let Liu Bo appease the people, and Ma Maocai govern the army." ”

Liu Yu is a member of the royal family, and it is impossible to help the Ten Standing Servants do anything, which is not in the interests of the Ten Standing Servants, but if he stops it, it is easy to make Liu Hong dissatisfied, so Zhao Zhong thought of a compromise solution.

When Liu Hong heard it, this was not bad, Liu Yu was actually a royal family member whom he trusted very much, and it was also consistent with what he thought at the beginning.

Liu Hong therefore said, "In this case, I worship Liu Yu as the assassin of Youzhou, and Ma Qiang as the captain of Huaiyi, what do you think Aiqing?" ”

Many ministers looked at each other, feeling that this plan was barely acceptable.

After all, he's just a lieutenant.

The position of captain is a very magical position in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he can be a feudal official, such as the captain of the west of Shanshan, or the commander of an army, such as the captain of the school, or the commander of a large army, such as the captain of the canal is responsible for water power, and can even be a janitor, such as the captain of the city gate, in short, he is like a military position that is not divided with accurate powers, depending on what title is added in front of the captain.

Like the Huaiyi lieutenant given to Ma Qiang now, he is a commander of the army, and he can command an army, which can be regarded as giving Ma Qiang the right to fight across regions in Youzhou.

After the court

"Originally, why did you agree to let Cao Cao serve as the cavalry captain before? Isn't this cheaper? He Jin sat in the general's car, and Yuan Shao and Zhang Jin sat opposite.

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "General, Cao Cao's appointment as the captain of the cavalry will not only not be cheap, but will fulfill us, Cao Cao is my close friend, I can introduce him to the general, as long as the general treats him politely, Cao Cao will definitely be willing to help the general and give up the eunuch!" ”

"Oh? I really made a lot of friends at the beginning! He Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, "If that's the case, this Cao Cao can be regarded as our person." ”

Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao was not witty enough to be inferior to himself, and he was also worried that He Jin would rely on Cao Cao in the future, and it was one thing to have a good relationship with Cao Cao, but this potential competition was another.

"Cao Mengde is witty and suspicious, but he is a talent, but his grandfather Cao Teng has a very high prestige among the eunuchs, and there are probably many people in his family who are close to the eunuchs, and the general can use it, but he can't believe it!"

"Yes! You were right! He Jin patted his thigh and scolded, "These eunuchs, none of them are good, if it weren't for them, where would the world be like this."

And what kind of Jian Yong, it must be colluded with Zhang Rang, and I made a fool of myself in the court, and when I find an opportunity, I have to kill him! ”

Yuan Shao responded with a smile, but he didn't care about it in his heart, just He Jin's brain, if he hadn't led a group of people to help make suggestions, he didn't know how he was played to death by the ten permanent servants, then Jian Yong was obviously a pawn, he was sent by Zhang Rang to disgust He Jin, and by the way, it was also to block Ma Qiang's back road.

For Ma Qiang, Yuan Shao didn't take it to heart at all, a thing that is not even a cold door, even if he can worship the captain this time, after the yellow scarf is calmed down, he can casually use the excuse to cut him white.

After the Yellow Turban is pacified, the court will inevitably not have a foothold for the ten permanent servants!

Yuan Shao is so convinced.

On the other side, Cao Cao was complaining to Cao Song that he didn't tell him in advance that he was going to go to Zhang Rang's door, and now it embarrassed him.

"Wu'er, you should be happy, once you have military merits this time, my father will help you operate in the future, and I can make you rank in Jiuqing before you are confused! As for the position of the three dukes, you have to work your own.

Once you also become the third duke, our Cao family will also be regarded as the third generation of the third duke! ”

Cao Song laughed happily as he spoke, Cao Cao looked at his father like this, and said helplessly, "Father, aren't you Jiuqing yourself?" ”

Cao Song snorted, "Stinky boy, what do you know? The army is fighting, spending money like water, how long has it been fighting, do you know how much money it spent? ”

"How much?"

Cao Cao really didn't know.

"Two billion dollars have already been spent! With so many sergeants' blades and armor, as well as the people's pensions, why don't you want money? How much money do you think Your Majesty still has?

Wait, once the war is over, Your Majesty will inevitably reopen the West Garden, and all the officials will have a share of the palace money!

When the time comes, the old man will have to buy a lieutenant to be a lieutenant! Cao Song is in charge of finance, so he is very clear about Liu Hong's lack of money.

Cao Cao was speechless to the extreme that his father openly said that he wanted to buy a Tai Lieutenant, what is the matter.

"This time, Wu'er will go to war, I can't do without help, I have written to Zilian to bring a thousand soldiers to help you, and he will come to the Changshe to make peace with you." Cao Song touched his stomach and kept telling Cao Cao what he should be careful and pay attention to outside, but Cao Cao only felt a little irritable and helpless.
