Ma Tan was young and couldn't understand why his brother was so happy when he heard that Zhuge Liang was going to send him to study. Of course, he didn't know that the Mr. Zigan in Zhuge Liang's mouth was Lu Zhi, one of the few remaining Confucians at that time. Lu Zhi's name, Ma Jian has never heard of it, but Ma Liang and them are like thunder, the best example is that Liu Bei was Lu Zhi's student before. At the same time, now Lu Zhi is educating the children of the nobility, including Liu Yu's son Liu Hua, and sending Ma Jian over, but Zhuge Liang is kind.

Ma Jian was confused, Zhuge Liang was pleased, in fact, he had a good impression of Ma Jian when he first saw Ma Tan, the aura in this child's eyes kept flashing, it seemed to be stubborn, but it was just not mature enough. Like a piece of jade, it can be carved slowly to become a peerless treasure. The current Shenwu Imperial Court, if it is the strongest ability to cultivate talents, Lu Zhi can be said to be the strongest existence. Just worshipping a great Confucian as a teacher has been of infinite use to Ma Jian in his life. Not to mention that there are so many new powerful children in the world who are there, but it is a good thing that others can't ask for.

"It's just that this matter is not just something that the official said. His Majesty needs a grace. But with his youthful performance, the officer felt that it was not a big problem. Zhuge Liang continued.

Ma Liang and the other elder brothers naturally knew that this matter needed Liu Yu's consent, but Zhuge Liang said it, and the problem was not big.

So the brothers were grateful to Zhuge Liang, but Ma Jian was still confused. Zhuge Liang sorted out his arrangements for the five brothers of the Ma family and reported to Liu Yu in person. And the five brothers of the Ma family did not leave, they still need to wait for Liu Yu's final reply.

Zhuge Liang arrived in front of Liu Yu and told his assessment and arrangements one by one.

Liu Yu felt that Zhuge Liang's arrangement was good, this time he gave Zhuge Liang a chance to cultivate his cronies, Zhuge Liang's arrangement was not excessive, and he could make the best use of it. But in the last case, he wanted to send Ma Jian to Lu Zhi to study, and Liu Yu felt a little surprised.

"Kong Ming, why did you recommend Ma Youchang to study at Zigan?" Liu Yu asked.

Zhuge Liang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister's move has three meanings. First, Ma's five constants are all talented people, but this youngest Ma Youchang's ability has not yet been formed, this son is smart, let him learn from Mr. Zigan, can cultivate a good talent for the imperial court. Second, the Ma family is a family that the lord has devoted himself to His Majesty's whole family, although the Cai family and the Kuai family are the same, but now that the Jingzhou families are silent to deal with His Majesty, it is really rare to be able to take the initiative to serve the imperial court, and arrange for the young son of the Ma family to go to Luoyang, which is to regard the Ma family as a model, so that all families in Jingzhou can see that His Majesty treats them equally, so that the heart of the Jingzhou family can be determined. Third, with Ma Jian in Luoyang, the rest of the Ma family will be well-behaved. ”

Good guy, it turns out that Zhuge Liang is preparing to take Ma Jian as a hostage, so that the whole Ma family can work for Liu Yu with peace of mind. Throughout the ages, there have been too many such things, and it is not surprising that Zhuge Liang has such a plan.

is not in his position or seeking his own politics, Zhuge Liang has reached a very high position, and his style of acting will naturally change, but such a black-hearted approach is very much in line with Liu Yu's appetite.

"Kong Ming, you said very well, and I granted your request. I'm afraid that the brothers of the Ma family are secretly happy. Go back and tell them my decision. Liu Yu said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang replied with a smile: "Obey!" ”

When Zhuge Liang returned to his office, he said that Liu Yu had passed his suggestion. Ma Liang and the others, who had been waiting for news, were all elated. Zhuge Liang was very considerate and asked Ma Liang and the others to go back, so that they didn't have to take office immediately, and they would take office in two days.

Zhuge Liang meant that Ma Liang could go home and spread the news, so that Zhuge Liang's previous purpose could be achieved, and he was really scheming.

Ma Liang and the others quickly returned to their homes with the good news, and told Ma Zhen, who had been waiting for news at home, about Liu Yu and Zhuge Liang's arrangements and decisions.

Ma Zhenle blossomed, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay." The rise of the Ma family is in sight. You are very good, for the father to have your five sons, this life is worth it. In the future, the Ma family will rise, and your father will be able to meet your grandfather in the ground. ”

As the eldest son, on behalf of all the brothers, Ma Xuan respectfully said to his father: "Father, rest assured, my brothers will definitely bring the Ma family into prosperity." ”

Ma Zhen was very relieved and said: "Your brothers, friends and brothers are the greatest comfort to your father." The biggest gain this time is that you can get the recommendation of Lord Zhuge and the grace of Your Majesty, and go to Luoyang to defeat Lu Zigan. ”

Ma Jian was overjoyed, just now his brothers had already told Ma Jian about the benefits of going to Luoyang to study. Lu Zhi's status and the people under his door are all the sons of powerful people in the court, and Ma Jian can see his very bright future in the future.

"Alright, you're all tired, go back and get some rest. Ji Chang, you stay, for your father has something to talk to you. Ma Zhen said.

The brothers didn't seem surprised by this situation, after all, Ma Liang is now the most appreciated by Zhuge Liang and is definitely the pillar of the Ma family. Even Ma Xuan, the eldest son, does not have any opinions, the Ma family has always been a capable person in a high position, Ma Liang is a capable person, even if he replaces his brother as the head of the Ma family in the future, he has no opinion, as long as the family is prosperous.

"Ji Chang, it seems that Your Majesty still doesn't worry about our Ma family." How could Ma Zhen, who has been accustomed to intrigue all year round, not see Ma Zhen's way of going to Luoyang to study.

Ma Liang said in a deep voice: "Father, I went to Luoyang this time, although it was a bit of a proton, but this is also a kind of grace from Your Majesty to my Ma family. Father don't have to worry too much. ”

Ma Liang is very capable, stronger than his father, Ma Zhen can see it, Ma Liang must be able to do it. Not only Ma Liang, but also Ma Xuan, Ma Kang, and Ma Jin also saw it, and the only one who didn't see it was Ma Yan. This kid is now happily packing his bags, ready to go to Luoyang to behave well.

Ma Zhen saw his most competitive son, and felt that the hope of the Ma family in the future was in Ma Liang, so he said movingly: "Ji Chang, the Ma family will be in your hands in the future." ”

"How could a father say such a thing. The eldest brother is the best candidate for the head of the Ma family. The child is willing to assist the eldest brother. And the child may be able to take care of the family in the future, and ask the father to think twice. Ma Liang knew that Ma Zhen wanted to change the candidate for the heir of the head of the family, he had never had this idea, and he was shocked when he heard this.

And Ma Liang felt that if he accepted the position of the heir of the head of the family, he would definitely have a lot of concerns about doing things by Liu Yu's side in the future, so that he would not be able to give full play to his talents, and Ma Liang would not do such a constrained thing.

Ma Zhen nodded lightly, he always felt that Ma Liang was better than Ma Xuan, and the position of the head of the family was the most capable person who could bear it, so as to lead the family to prosper. But Ma Liang was unwilling, Ma Zhen felt that he was still young, and whether there would be any mistakes for a while and a half, it was up to Ma Liang.

Ma Liang thought to himself: If he inherits the position of the head of the family, I am afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy today, so forget it.

After Ma Liang came out of Ma Zhen, he looked at the home where he had lived for many years, and felt that he might have few opportunities to return here in the future. In the world of the family and the country, there must always be something to give up.

Ma Liang couldn't help but touch his white eyebrows, this is a bad habit he has developed since he was a child, and he does it whenever he feels a little sad.

On the same day, I don't know who leaked the news, and the entire family in Xiangyang City knew that the Ma family had expressed their allegiance to the imperial court, and they were personally received by Liu Yu, and at the same time, the five permanent members of the Ma family were entrusted with important tasks at the same time. Ma Liang became the chief of staff of Zhuge Kongming, the commander of the expedition to Jiangdong, and Ma Xuan, Ma Jin, and Ma Kang all had official positions. Among them, Ma Jin became the new Xiangyang Weicao, in charge of litigation and public security. People who know Ma Jin well know that Xiangyang City may have to go back to settle down in the future. What is even more enviable is that the youngest son of the Ma family, Ma Tan Ma Youchang, actually got the recommendation of Zhuge Kongming and the permission of His Majesty today, and was able to go to Luoyang to worship under the door of Lu Zhi, the only remaining great Confucian Lu Zigan, and the future is bright. At the same time, according to rumors from people familiar with the matter, Lu Zhi is now the teacher of the most important children of powerful people in Luoyang, such as Dian Wei's son and Lu Bu's son are among them, and the biggest one is that His Majesty's son Liu Hua, King Zhao, is Lu Zhi's closed disciple. Once the children of the family have a relationship with these people, not to mention that there will be high-ranking officials in the future, but one official and half a position is indispensable. The relationship between classmates and friends is infinitely useful.

For example, if your children are friendly with these powerful children who will become the core figures of the Han Dynasty in the future, if something happens in the family and someone needs to come forward to intercede, isn't this the best candidate? The law of the country is ruthless, but it is always operated by people, as long as someone with weight comes out to say good things, there will be more or less a little leeway, so that the whole family will not finish playing.

Although things will not get so serious, in general, the benefits will continue.

In the past, the families in Jingzhou didn't treat the Ma family very well, especially to Ma Zhen, the head of the wall-headed grass family who was usually silent and followed the trend. If it weren't for Ma Zhen's sons who were competitive enough, the other families were worried that they would not be able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I am afraid that there would be no place for the Ma family in Jingzhou now. didn't expect that the previous strategy of leaving a line for the Ma family has now become a prerequisite for getting along with the Ma family. The heads of many families lamented that the five sons of the Ma family entered the court at the same time, and the rise of the Ma family was inevitable in the future.

Among the Jingzhou families, the Cai family and the Kuai family are representatives, and the representatives of these two families, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, came to the Ma family together, and called Ma Zhen a brother in front of everyone.

The big guys all know how much weight the Ma family used to have in Jingzhou, Ma Zhen used to be almost a lingering existence when Cai Mao and Kuai Yue called it, but now it is a scene where Cai Mao and Kuai Yue laughed and talked about friendship with Ma Zhen. If this had happened years ago, who would have thought of such a huge change.

Ma Zhen understands that he can talk and laugh with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue now, relying on the grace of His Majesty today, and he is firm in his heart, as long as he is so beautiful, who brought him to him.

Without Liu Yu's appreciation and the talent of his five sons, Ma Zhen would have such a scene?

The heads of the Jingzhou family are envious, jealous and hateful, why are these people so short-sighted? When His Majesty arrived in Xiangyang, although he did not treat the family so well, he did not show any intention of making a move. These people are secretly pregnant with ghosts, thinking that sooner or later His Majesty will have to leave Jingzhou, and then they can return to the previous days. It was not at all thought that he would take advantage of such a good opportunity to bring his talented children to His Majesty. It was Ma Zhen, a thief, who sent all his five sons to the door in one breath, and got the grace of His Majesty, and now it is booming, which proves how correct Ma Zhen is.

The hearts of the heads of some families are dripping blood. What does Ma Zhen rely on? It was his five sons who were striking. But not to mention that his son has amazing talents, it is already good to be able to stay at home without causing trouble. Ma Zhen's successful model, they have no hope to refer to. Some grumpy heads of the family even returned to their homes and beat their unangry sons severely. Some people are thinking that they are still young now, and strive to have more sons when they have energy. The large trumpet has been refined, so a few more trumpets can continue to operate.

Invisibly, Jingzhou's future population has been promoted.

More family heads seemed to have received the information Liu Yu gave them. Liu Yu was able to make Ma Zhen so beautiful, in addition to Ma Liang's talent, didn't he have the ability to show the family that as long as they were loyal to Liu Yu and brought useful talents, they could also get Liu Yu's grace.

They are all the existence of old fox characters, and their speculation on Liu Yu's thoughts is naturally very in place.

Some family heads with capable and good children began to slowly find Cai Mao and Kuai Yue to contact, saying that their families could serve the court more. Why did they borrow Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's hands instead of going themselves?

First of all, the first one, Ma Zhen was able to see Liu Yu, a big factor was that Ma Zhen had taken the shit luck, and the others didn't know how to draw gourds alive and dead, and the big knives in the hands of the guards outside the palace were not vegetarians.

Moreover, with the appearance of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, even if they figured out Liu Yu's wrong thoughts, there was a room for reversal, which could be saved.

There is no stupid person in the Jingzhou family, and their calculations are clear.
