0573: Prime Minister Ma

When tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people kneel in front of you, what do you think? What to do?

Li Yi's first thought was very cool, yes, very cool, very cool, so cool that Li Yi was fluttering. Li Yi, who has lived in this era for almost 30 years, has not been kneeled by others, and it can even be said that there are many times. But today, there are more than 100,000 people here!

But then, a somewhat painful thought popped up in Li Yi's mind, "Perhaps, this is a human being, right?" No matter who you are, you want to be the center of attention, and then you want to be adored and even surrendered to them......"

Of course, Li Yi didn't study much sociology in his previous life, so this idea only went around in his mind and disappeared. Immediately, Li Yi, who came back to his senses, turned over and got off Xiaobai, and walked quickly to the old man, "Father, please get up quickly." ”

As he spoke, Li Yi helped him up, and at the same time turned his head to look around at everyone and shouted, "Everyone, please get up!" Yi was ordered by the imperial court to govern and annex states and other places, and everything he did was just a matter of his duty. How can you receive righteousness when you have done such a great gift? After speaking, he bowed to everyone again and again.

"If the prince can't stand it, who else in the world can't stand it?"

"The prince not only exempted us from paying taxes for a year, but also provided us with fields, houses and grain, and it is difficult for us to repay the grace of reconstruction......

The people shouted, still on their knees, refusing to get up. What's more, they even started crying as they spoke. Because Li Yi is too good to them? Or was it too hard to live before? Maybe only after experiencing it will you understand the mood of these people at the moment, right?

Just when Li Yi was dealing with those people, Xun Yu and Guo Jia, who dismounted with Li Yi, watched all this silently not far behind Li Yi. After a long while, Guo Jia suddenly murmured, "Perhaps, it is because the lord has always adhered to Xunzi's theory of Zhoushui and regarded the people as the most important foundation that he has achieved such an achievement today, right?" ”

"The lord wrote in his compilation of the [Treatise on Governance] that if the people under his rule cannot even live a stable life, and they worry about eating every day, then what can they get from the people?" Hearing Guo Jia's words, Xun Yu replied lightly, his eyes still staring at Li Yi's back.

"Yes, if you are someone else, even if you are dragged down by these hundreds of thousands of people, I am afraid you will choose to capture Chang'an first. Only the lord will resolutely give up the good situation that has been laid and choose to settle the people first to develop the people's livelihood. Guo Jia sighed when he heard this.

"Hehe, isn't this what the master we wanted to find in the past is like this?" Xun Yu chuckled when he heard this. Although he has only followed Li Yi for more than a year, it is not a long time, but it has made him feel very deeply. Li Yi's martial arts, steady character, and the decree of treating the people well, everything is ...... It's all so flawless.

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Guo Jia suddenly shook his head and said with a strange smile, "The appearance of the Lord in my heart is far inferior to the Lord Lord." ”

And when the two were talking in a low voice, people such as Xu Shu, Zhu Hao and others behind them were also deeply shocked by the scene in front of them. They had always known that their lord was loved and respected by the people, but they would never have imagined that they would see this scene one day.

Speaking of which, Li Yi didn't think about it either, huh...... It can't be said that he didn't think about it, only that he didn't expect such a scene to occur in such a situation at all.

But then again, this kind of scene also told Li Yi that he has not had any problems with the policy of displaced people, and even the effect is very good, which also makes him full of confidence in the future.

"Ma Teng, Ma Teng...... You have exchanged more than 500,000 people for the present, and maybe when you die, you may not be able to know what you have lost......" Li Yi thought to himself.

Li Yi knows very well that it will not be long before the population of the whole world will begin to decrease sharply, although he can't remember it clearly, but Li Yi still vaguely remembers that from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, in just a few decades, because of war and plague, the population fell sharply from fifty or sixty million, and after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the population of the whole country was less than twenty million!

This terrifying population decline, coupled with the Jin Dynasty's own death, eventually led to the darkest period in history for the descendants of Yan and Huang.

"But now I'm here, those brutes...... Hehe......" Li Yi thought wildly in his heart.

On the second day of stationing in Luoyang, Li Yi began to deal with all kinds of accumulated government affairs. Yes, piling up, after all, both Zhu Hao and Xu Shu are too young, and their status is not very high. So as a result, many things either don't know how to deal with it, or they don't dare to deal with it. As a result, there is a lot of government affairs piled up.

And while Li Yi was busy dealing with various things in Luoyang, Chang'an, in the secret room of the Hussar General's Mansion.

"Madam, the enemy army is now stationed in Changling and Baling, do you think I should lead the army to attack them?" Ma Teng looked at the information in his hand, turned his head and asked Zhang Ning on the side.

His tone was a little flattering, and there was a hint of fear, since Li Yijun really evacuated, Ma Teng had become like this. Perhaps, in his heart, this lady of his own has unpredictable powers? Otherwise, why just expelled some people, and let the originally aggressive Li Yijun directly withdraw?

Although Zhao Yun and Guan Yu each led 50,000 troops to Changling and Baling later, from the analysis of the news found by Ma Teng, they did not have any intention of attacking.

You must know that in Ma Teng's view, even if Li Yi received more than 500,000 people, it was impossible to give up the opportunity to attack Chang'an. Anyway, he would never do this, and even if he attacked at the same time, those people would not be unable to feed.

"Hehe, there's no need, if we attack, we will switch from a defensive position to an offensive position, and it is easy to have a flaw that is used by Li Yi. And if it is just to defend Chang'an, then how clever Li Yi is, and how many fierce generals and ministers he has under his hands, after all, there is only one option: attacking Chang'an. Zhang Ning said with a chuckle when he heard this.

Regarding Ma Teng's attitude, although Zhang Ning was a little unexpected, she enjoyed the current state very much. Although Ma Teng also respected Zhang Ning very much in the past, it was more of an equal state.

"What Madame said is very true, then do what Madame wants." Hearing this, Ma Teng hurriedly agreed. But as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask again, "So what are we going to do now?" ”

"Of course, I took this opportunity to develop the territory well, according to my estimate, since Li Yi moved the people away, he must have planned to settle them well. In this way, we will have at least a year or two without worrying about Li Yi attacking again. Zhang Ning gently tapped the case next to him and smiled.

"And during this time, you must develop your territory well to obtain more food and silver. In this way, the soldiers will be able to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness. In addition, the Qiang people and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong will continue to win them over, if we can completely draw them to our side, even if Li Yi leads a large army to attack in the future, there is no need to worry. Finally, build the Chang'an city wall again! Zhang Ning kept saying.

"Wonderful! I have my wife to help, why not be afraid of that Li Yi! Ma Teng immediately laughed and exclaimed when he heard this.

"Hehe, in fact, many of these are suggestions made by Jia Shangshu, and the proposal to drive out the people in the past was also put forward by Jia Shangshu." Zhang Ning said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Ma Teng suddenly said knowingly, "Since this is the case, why don't you let Jia Shangshu be qualified for the position of Situ?" ”

Zhang Ning was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't seem to expect that after signaling Ma Teng, Ma Teng would ask himself. But then Zhang Ning nodded unceremoniously and smiled, "That's the best." In addition, send someone to summon Guo Yan back, if we defend Chang'an, it will not be of much use for him to continue to stay in Wuguan, and he may even fall to that Li Yi. And we have to promote him, so that he can continue to work for us with peace of mind, and in addition, Jiang Jian also has to promote ......"

Zhang Ning watched Ma Teng keep talking, and as he spoke, he paid attention to Ma Teng's expression. After discovering that Ma Teng's face was only submissive, the smile in Zhang Ning's eyes became stronger and stronger.

"Also, Shoucheng, you repelled the Li thief this time, and you deserve to be rewarded and promoted, I think it is necessary to restore the previous prime minister system...... And as the prime minister, the prime minister of the imperial court and military politics is also justified! In the end, Zhang Ning did not forget Ma Teng, "Shoucheng, think about it, if the ancestor knew that his descendants had become the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, how relieved and happy would he be?" ”

"Prime Minister......" Ma Teng listened to Zhang Ning's words, and the desire in his eyes gradually became stronger. After a long while, he stood up sharply and shouted, "Yes! Prime minister! Who in the world is more qualified to be the prime minister than me?! ”

"Yes~ No one is more qualified to serve as prime minister than you~" Zhang Ning stood up, walked to Ma Teng's side and smiled.

"It's all thanks to Madame...... Ma Teng turned to look at Zhang Ning and said, looking at the graceful figure that appeared in his eyes, the desire in his eyes became even hotter.

It's just that Zhang Ning, who used to take the initiative to snuggle in Ma Teng's arms in this situation, now has a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart after seeing Ma Teng's eyes. Immediately, a crazy idea came to her mind.

"Poof!"

But seeing Zhang Ning stunned by Ma Teng, he pushed him to the ground all of a sudden, looked at Ma Tengjiao with a high-minded look and smiled, "Shoucheng, do you remember the first night?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, Zhang Ning lay on Ma Teng's body with a strange smile, stroked his cheek and whispered, "Don't you remember?" Let me help you reminisce~ Loyal and honest poor boy......"

Hearing Zhang Ning's words, Ma Teng's mind suddenly remembered that night in the past. It was a similar scene this time. It's just a pity that today's Ma Teng failed to regain the upper hand in the end like the last time, but was pressed under Zhang Ning from beginning to end, passively bearing Zhang Ning's crazy attack until he surrendered.

"Huh? Prime minister? Maarten? When Li Yi heard Guo Jia's words, he was stunned. After all, in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, he only knew two prime ministers, one surnamed Cao and the other surnamed Zhuge .

"Yes, not only that, Shangshu Jia Xu was also promoted to Situ, his son Ma Chao was worshiped as a hussar general, and Ma Teng's lineage was also promoted...... Guo Jia said, shaking his head. Xun Yu, who was not far away, was even more angry and flushed, if it weren't for the presence of Li Yi and others, I'm afraid he would have scolded directly.

"It's really unscrupulous...... I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo may not be as good as this Ma Teng in the past, right? Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

However, this exclamation only lasted for a while, and soon Li Yi returned to government affairs. Because in his opinion, this matter is nothing more than an inconsequential little thing. Prime minister? Even if Namatten is king...... Well, well, if Ma Teng really reigns, then the fun will be great.

And when this news reached the ears of Yuan Shao and the others, their attitudes were strikingly similar to Li Yi's, first shocked, and then ignored them. After all, in the past, Dong Zhuo was able to proclaim himself the Grand Master, so what can Ma Teng do now that he is a self-proclaimed prime minister? It's just a title.

In fact, compared to this news, Li Yi's withdrawal from the army was what shocked them extremely much. You must know that according to the information obtained, Li Yi's offensive against Ma Teng was extremely smooth, but now, because of hundreds of thousands of people, he directly withdrew his troops? And looking at the posture, it seems that you are not ready to fight again in the short term?

"The kindness of a woman!" Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu gave Li Yi the same evaluation in their hearts.

And even Li Yi's friend Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh after getting the news, "How could Zikang be so indecisive? Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people, isn't it the most important thing to eradicate the horse thief Kuangfu Han family? ”

However, Liu Bei secretly rejoiced in his heart, after all, if Li Yi really continued to attack Chang'an, he didn't think that Ma Teng would be able to resist it. And once Chang'an is broken and Li Yi enters the imperial court, then the situation in the world is difficult to say.

Since becoming the Qingzhou Mu, Liu Bei's ambitions have become bigger and bigger, but like Liu Yan in Yizhou, they all behave normally on the surface, as if they are really governing the territory with peace of mind. But deep down, they are anxiously waiting, waiting for that opportunity to appear.

Having said that, although most of them felt strange about Li Yi's choice, they only sighed in their hearts. More than 500,000 people are at stake, and it can be said that even if they were replaced, it would be difficult to make a decision, even if they already had the answer in their hearts.

This is the case with many things in the world, and when the true thoughts of the heart are to be turned into reality, they will always choose to go against the heart for various reasons. Follow the guidance of your heart? It's simple......
