"The Divine Decree to ......"

After Chief Yang dismounted, he immediately opened his mouth and said loudly at the gate of the Marquis of Chang'an.

At this time, everyone in the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an had just had breakfast.

When the old lady heard this, she immediately led everyone in the house to come out.

O Holy Decree! This is the second decree of Tao Mansion since its establishment!

The first time was when Tao Ran was canonized as the Marquis of Chang'an!

"Ma Zhou, the son of the good family of Chang'an Houfu, received the ......"

"The grass people and horses take the order."

Ma Zhou immediately knelt on the ground!

"Congratulations to Madudu! Since then, he has stepped into the ranks of the five-grade officials and ranked among the top members of the party, which is gratifying! ”

Yang Hao, the head of Yang, said with a smile on his face.

"It's hard for Mr. Yang to go all the way to this trip, and I ask Mr. Yang not to be polite."

Ma Zhou skillfully stuffed a piece of silver cake into the hands of Manager Yang without a trace.

"Thank you Ma Dudu, Ma Dudu has the guidance of a famous teacher like Hou Ye, and the future is limitless."

"Mr. Yang has a good reputation, and he is taught by his family teacher, if he doesn't have the support of his family teacher, Ma Zhou still doesn't know where he is!"

Ma Zhou said with emotion.

"Ma Dudu, this is your official uniform, official seal, and customs clearance documents...... Our family still has to go to the academy to report the good news to Governor Liu, so we won't bother. ”

After speaking, Yang Hao, the general manager of Yang Hao, handed over all official matters such as official uniforms and seals to Ma Zhou's hands.

"Mr. Yang walks slowly......"

Ma Zhou kept sending Mr. Yang and his party out of the door, and only after seeing them go in the direction of Nanshan Academy did he return to the mansion.

"Ma Zhou, today is a big day, you have been happy recently, the old lady is also a little happy, let the restaurant send a table of good wine and food at noon, the old lady, I will congratulate you."

The old lady said with a smile.

"Thank you for the old lady's care, Ma Zhou is unforgettable, without Tao Mansion, there would be no Ma Zhou today······ Please be worshiped by the juniors. ”

After speaking, Ma Zhou bowed down to the old lady.

"You kid, you can't help it, you are all the official body of the five-grade master, and you have tormented the old lady and me." The old lady wiped her tears happily and quickly helped Ma Zhou up.

Gao Hongxiu also shed tears of joy, and her heart was surrounded by a huge happiness and joy.

also followed Ma Zhou and bowed down.

Manager Yang arrived at Nanshan Academy with the holy decree, and the students learned about Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang who were about to become members of either party.

In an instant, there was an uproar in Nanshan College, and many students talked about it one after another.

Suddenly, Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang became the figures of Nanshan College.

Even the two masters, Li Gang and Kong Yingda, were shocked by His Majesty's holy decree, and when they learned that all this was Tao Ran's so-called, their hearts were relieved.

As they have been in the DPRK for many years, they know very well that this is the position of a party member at the beginning, which is absolutely very rare, as long as there are no major accidents and there are political achievements during their tenure, the future is immeasurable.

"Congratulations to Master Hou for winning the favor of His Majesty, and the future is immeasurable."

After reading the holy decree, Chief Yang said with a smile.

"Thank you Manager Yang for your kind words, it's just lunch time today, and I invite Manager Yang to have a light meal together."

Tao Ran politely invited.

"In this way, our family will taste the food of Nanshan Academy, which even His Majesty and the Empress will never forget."

Yang Hao, the general manager of Yang, agreed happily.

"Aunt Hua, tell the literati girl, prepare a few more good dishes, today is a big day."

Tao Ran said to Wu Cao, who had been following behind him.

"Yes, teacher. Hua Gu knew. After saying that, Wu Cao trotted all the way to the kitchen in the back mountain.

"Brother Chong, now Senior Ma Zhou and Senior Liu Renliang have taken a step ahead of us and stepped into the official career. And he started out as an enviable party, which was really unexpected by all of us. ”

In the dormitory, Fang Yiai, who had just had lunch, got together with the eldest grandson Chong, Du He, Gao Cheng and others, and whispered mysteriously.

"Teacher, it's all the teacher's idea, right?"

After the crown prince Li Chengqian waited for Chief Manager Yang to go down the mountain and leave, he came to Tao Ran's room and asked suspiciously.

Because he felt that his father had an impression of Ma Zhou, but he didn't have any impression of Liu Renliang, how could he directly hand over such an important official position to an unfamiliar person, this was not his father's style of doing things.

There is only one reason for thinking about it, and all of this is the hand of the teacher.

"It is true that the teacher recommended it, the day before yesterday, His Majesty summoned the teacher into the palace to inquire about the management strategy of the Western Regions, and the teacher suggested that His Majesty was overjoyed to let the teacher recommend officials, and the teacher thought of Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang, His Majesty and the ministers decided after discussion, and the teacher hoped that the two of them could live up to the teacher's hope and trust."

Tao Ran replied truthfully.

"The teacher is also dedicated to the sake of Datang's country, and the student thanked the teacher for his father and recommended young talents for Datang."

Prince Li Chengqian said respectfully.

"When they leave, you go to see them off, which can be regarded as a friendship between classmates, and the officials in the court can't participate in your criticism of winning over the courtiers."

Tao Ran said to Li Chengqian.

"Thank you teacher for reminding me, Cheng Qian knows how to do it."

Li Chengqian was very happy with the teacher's reminder, it is true, if he sent it privately, he would indeed be suspected of winning over the court officials, but because of the friendship of his classmates, everything seemed so logical.

Today's lunch in the Hou Mansion is much more lively than before, whether it is a servant or a maid in the house, whether it is a housekeeper or an old mother in the kitchen, they have all congratulated Ma Zhou, who is about to become the governor of Anxi Prefecture, under the instruction of the old lady.

Where can Ma Zhou withstand the bombardment of so many people taking turns toasting, and the tongue that he drinks from time to time is curled and top-heavy.

provoked Hongxiu to pull Ma Zhou's sleeve all the time.

"It's okay, lady, I'm happy today, this wine must be drunk, I'm going to leave here tomorrow, lady, you don't know, how did Ma Fang and I come over before we met the teacher. Come to Ma Fang and sit next to my brother. ”

Hearing this, Ma Fang came to her brother's side obediently.

"Ma Fang told your sister-in-law about the life of the two of us before we came to the Hou Mansion."

Ma Zhou picked up Ma Fang, put him on the stool and spoke.

"Sister-in-law, if there was a dough cake before, my brother always gave it to me, and my brother always said that he had eaten it, but in fact, Ma Fang knew that my brother had never eaten enough······"

Tears rolled down Ma Fang's cheeks, and the wine table fell into silence for a moment.

The people in the house, who did not come from a hard life, and the current life only made them forget the suffering of the past and present for a while.

"Teacher, for Ma Zhou, it is no different from my parents, it is the teacher who guides me in my homework, urges me to study, and teaches me many skills that others can't learn in a lifetime. It was the teacher who desperately rescued my sister and brother when I and Ma Fang were kidnapped by bad people, it was the teacher who ransomed Hongxiu, and it was the teacher who gave me a complete home······ Everything I have now is given to me by the teacher, and in this life I can live up to anyone, and anyone can be sorry, but I can't be sorry and live up to the teacher's hard work and friendship for me······"

Speaking of this, the dignified seven-foot man howled and cried·······

"Brother, don't cry ······" Ma Fang struggled to stand up from the bench and wiped Ma Zhou's tears.

"Sister, after my brother leaves, you have to listen to the teacher well, and don't make the teacher angry."

Ma Zhou hugged Ma Fang tightly in his arms and said with tears in his eyes.

"Brother, don't worry. Ma Fang's life was saved by the teacher, how could Ma Fang make the teacher angry? ”

Ma Fang responded obediently.

"Look at you two brothers and sisters, on the big day, I can't stand the old lady······

The old lady said with red eyes.

"Old lady, if there is anything wrong with Ma Fang in the house in the future, please take care of the old lady, Ma Fang is still young, it is inevitable that there will be willfulness and petty temper, don't be surprised by your old man."

"Ma Zhou is not allowed to say this, Ma Fang, this child, the old lady looks like her granddaughter, you can rest assured that she will stay in the house."

The old lady replied sincerely.

On the morning of the second day, Ma Zhou bid farewell to the Hou family, and under the gaze of Ma Fang's crying eyes, he took Gao Hongxiu to Nanshan College in a carriage.

The personal guards sent by the imperial court have arrived at Nanshan Academy, waiting for the arrival of the governor.

The Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate each sent 500 personal soldiers, which was the final result of the discussion between His Majesty Li Er and the ministers.

Because after they arrive, most of the soldiers led by Qin Qiong and General Niu Jinda will stay behind to assist the two capitals and maintain a safe and stable living order in the Western Regions.

"See the Grand Governor."

As soon as Ma Zhou got out of the carriage, the five hundred soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate immediately respectfully paid homage, and the loud and neat voice startled Gao Hongxiu.

"Let's all get up, this is a long way, and I have worked hard for all the soldiers."

Ma Zhou said gently, and a faint kind of official authority appeared on his body.

"Madame is waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain, and I will go up the mountain to meet the teacher."

Ma Zhou said to Gao Hongxiu.

"Master, Hongxiu knows."

Last night, Ma Zhou explained to Gao Hongxiu the names of the two in front of outsiders in the middle of the night, so there was a conversation just now.

"Red Show ·····"

An incomparably familiar call sounded over the academy halfway up the mountain.

A woman in a white shirt walked down the mountain like a fairy.

"Sister Sisi······"

Gao Hongxiu's eyes turned red instantly, and she walked a few steps quickly, and the two good sisters hugged each other tightly.

"Hongxiu, if you leave, my sister doesn't know if I can see you again in this life, and I'm afraid that my wish to be your child's godmother will be disappointed."

Qin Sisi patted Gao Hongxiu's back and then spoke. "My sister really feels a lot more miserable than you, and my sister envy you."

"Sister, no matter where you go, Hongxiu will never forget her sister, you are Hongxiu's only sister in this life."

Gao Hongxiu continued with tears in her eyes. "Sister, has there been any progress with Master Hou? If you don't hurry, I'm afraid things will change. Gao Hongxiu's words made Qin Sisi nervous.

"Hongxiu, what's the change? Make it clear to your sister. ”

"Recently, the old lady has been very affectionate to the cuckoo, and even the name has changed, and now the cuckoo directly calls the old lady grandma."

Gao Hongxiu leaned over and said in Qin Sisi's ear. While Qin Sisi was taken aback, she was also inexplicably nervous.

"Sisi girl, come down the mountain to send Hongxiu ······"

Tao Ran's voice sounded behind the two of them, Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang followed behind Tao Ran, and the two masters, Prince Li Chengqian and Li Gang, and Kong Yingda, also followed.

After all, these are the first two students of Nanshan College to really embark on their careers, and they deserve such fanfare.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, see the two Governors······"

When the soldiers saw the crown prince Li Chengqian and the two newly appointed governors descending the mountain, they immediately respectfully and loudly greeted him.

Seeing that the time had come, Qin Sisi and Gao Hongxiu waved goodbye.

Tao Ran and the crown prince Li Chengqian were sent all the way to the official road to the Western Regions.

"Teacher, His Royal Highness the Prince, just send it here."

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang said in unison.

"Remember what the teacher just explained, all the skills that the teacher taught you can be promoted and used in the Western Regions, so that the economic development of the Western Regions can be carried out at the fastest speed and in the shortest time, and the herdsmen will naturally settle down a lot if they can fill their stomachs, but the technology cannot be passed on, it can only be the people close to the two of you, once the technology leaks out, many things will be difficult to control······"

Tao Ran explained earnestly.

"Teacher, don't worry. Students must remember it and never dare to forget. ”

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang clasped their fists and saluted.

"When the two of them arrived in the Western Regions, they should take care of the people, maintain the safety of one party, and let their father and emperor feel at ease is the greatest achievement of the two, and the palace hopes to get together with the two of them in the court in the future."

Prince Li Chengqian solemnly admonished.

"Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for mentioning this, and the ministers will do their best to follow His Royal Highness the Prince's instructions."

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang's answers made Tao Ran and the crown prince Li Chengqian both smile and nod.

"Get in the car, the teacher watched you two go······"

Tao Ran's voice suddenly choked.

"Teacher ·····"

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang knelt on the ground at the same time and kowtowed heavily to Tao Ran.

Tao Ran couldn't help but reddened his eyes, looking at Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang who were about to go away in front of him, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, how many lives and deaths would he have to go through in this life? in order to finally fulfill their dreams and aspirations······

Tao Ran stretched out his hand and pulled Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang up.

"Rest assured that the teacher will not let you stay in the Western Regions for too long, you two do what the teacher asks, within three years, the teacher will definitely let His Majesty transfer you two back to Chang'an, and the temporary separation is only for a longer time to get together in the future, go on the road, don't let the soldiers wait for a long time."
