0595: The Emperor chooses a concubine
Seeing that everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on him, Jia Xu's expression did not change, he just chuckled and said to Ma Teng, "Prime Minister, as Zhong Shilang said, if the Prime Minister takes the initiative to choose a concubine for the Holy Lord, it can indeed resolve the misunderstanding of some people in the world about the lord." Especially during this period of time, the people of Sanfu have many misunderstandings about the lord......" Jia Xu explained respectfully.
Jia Xu's words sounded very convincing, but if you listen carefully, you just repeat the benefits that Zhong Xuan proposed just now. This made Ma Teng very helpless, but he didn't know what to do for a while.
Speaking of which, the reason why he interrupted Yin Feng and the others just now and turned to ask Jia Xu was not because Wang Yi and the four of them were opposing and Ma Teng wanted to agree, but it was just because Ma Teng didn't want Wang Yi and them to keep interjecting at that time.
Although they are like this in normal times, and Ma Teng never cares. But now that there is Zhong Xuan after all, although he should not know the identities of Wang Yi and the four of them, if there is any bad news at that time, such as Ma Teng has no majesty in front of his command, although it will not have any substantial impact, but Ma Teng's face will not be able to hang up.
But now, although it can't be said that Jia Xu agrees with him Ma Teng must also agree, but Jia Xu, as Situ and the number one strategist in his own name, he said so, if Ma Teng doesn't have a good reason, it's obviously not easy to refuse.
Of course, in fact, Ma Teng has the simplest and best choice, which is to directly tell Zhong Xuan that he needs to think about it, and then turn around and ask Zhang Ning for advice. But for some reason, when this idea just popped up in Ma Teng's mind, he thought of Yin Feng's words just now. Although he didn't notice it himself, there is no doubt that what really made him interrupt Wang Yi and the others' interjection was because of the "madam" mentioned by Yin Feng.
Inexplicably, Ma Teng nodded and asked, "In that case, who is more appropriate to carry out this matter?" ”
After saying that, Ma Teng regretted it a little, but before he could say anything more, he heard Zhong Xuan quickly reply, "Prime Minister, please take charge of this matter!" ”
"Hehe, since Zhong Shilang made this proposal and took the initiative to ask for his life, I already have a case in my heart. Therefore, Xia Guan thought that it was the most suitable for Zhong Shilang to be in charge of this matter. Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled again,
"In that case, then this matter will be handed over to you, Zhong Shilang. I hope you don't live up to your true nature and the trust that the court has in you......" Ma Teng heard this, although he was reluctant in his heart, he could only nod his head and agree.
"Please rest assured, the lower officials will never live up to the trust of the prime minister! This matter will definitely be handled well and the misunderstanding of the people about the prime minister will be resolved! Zhong Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a flattering look on his face.
After Zhong Xuan left, Ma Teng couldn't wait to turn his head to look at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, why did you agree to Zhong Xuan's proposal?" ”。 At the same time, the eyes of Wang Yi and the others also fell on Jia Xu, obviously, they also wanted to know why Jia Xu would agree to Zhong Xu's proposal. Although they didn't object just now, it was just because Ma Teng's scolding before made them a little afraid to speak.
Seeing this, Jia Xu smiled faintly, and then said unhurriedly, "Prime Minister, as Zhong Shilang said, the Prime Minister took the initiative to choose a concubine for the Holy Lord, which can indeed resolve the misunderstanding of some people in the world about the lord. Especially in the past few days, the people of Sanfu have many misunderstandings about the lord......"
These are not much different from the reasons Zhong Xuan said just now, and Ma Teng frowned when he heard it. But just when Ma Teng was about to say something, Jia Xu's words changed and he said with a serious expression, "And the most important thing is that Zhong Xuan came to see the prime minister three times and five times, is it really for this matter or does he have other plans?" Or do you really want to work for the prime minister? The subordinates think that they only need to take the initiative to probe, and they will definitely be able to learn the truth. ”
"If Zhong Xuan really has other plans, and there are even more people behind him, then the prime minister's refusal will only make them change their countermeasures again. In this way, we can only passively watch out for the tricks of these people......" Jia Xu kept saying.
"I see." Ma Teng and the others nodded suddenly, understanding Jia Xu's thoughts. It's just that for some reason, Ma Teng still has some inexplicable worries in his heart, but he can't tell whether this worry is worried about the impact of this matter or something else.
However, after seeing Ma Teng's silent appearance, Jia Xu suddenly smiled and said, "The prime minister is worried about Madame's side?" Please also rest assured that when the lady returns, the lower official will explain to the lady. ”
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Ma Teng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but then, an indescribable irritability and anxiety surfaced in his heart again.
This made Ma Teng's heart very uncomfortable, and this inexplicable feeling always popped up today, which made Ma Teng even more crazy. Why is this so? Isn't there something big going on lately? Ma Teng thought to himself, he had heard the old man of Di Dao say that if a person is going to encounter something big in the near future, there will be such an indescribable and inexplicable emotion.
Ma Teng kept pondering his inexplicable emotions today, and Jia Xu and the others saw him sitting there in contemplation, so they didn't say much, but continued to bury their heads in the government affairs at hand.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly a figure appeared in Ma Teng's eyes, almost subconsciously, Ma Teng stood up directly and walked out. It's just that he hasn't moved yet, and he was suddenly stunned, because he found that Jia Xu and the others, who were originally dealing with government affairs, were standing on the ground and looking at the people with awe. And this person is Zhang Ning.
"Meet Madame!"
"Meet the Master!"
Jia Xu, Wang Yi and others said respectfully.
Seeing this, Zhang Ning nodded lightly, and then walked to Ma Teng's side and asked, "Shoucheng, not long ago, someone told me that you agreed with Zhong Xuan, what is going on?" Zhang Ning's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction and a hint of blame, and his eyes looked directly at Ma Teng.
When Ma Teng heard this, he immediately looked at Jia Xu in a little panic, and even he didn't understand why he felt flustered and scared in the face of Zhang Ning's questioning.
Seeing this, Jia Xu on the side hurriedly said his previous words again, and the respectful attitude and the awe in his expression all fell into Ma Teng's eyes.
After a while, Zhang Ning nodded and said, "I see." ”
Hearing these words, Ma Teng's heart that had been hanging suddenly relaxed. But then he found that Jia Xu, Wang Yi and others, including Jia Xu, Wang Yi and others, seemed to be relaxed because of Zhang Ning's words, and suddenly, that inexplicable depression and anxiety appeared in his heart again.
Seeing Zhang Ning and Jia Xu keep talking about something, and then naturally encouraging Wang Yi and the others, in the end, Zhang Ning turned his head to look at himself and smiled, "Shoucheng, it seems that I am worried in vain, but you still have to pay attention, after all, those scholars ...... Just like before, Shoucheng, you and Wang Yun and others jointly eradicated Dong Thief...... Now Li Yishi is ......"
Ma Teng looked at Zhang Ning's delicate and elegant face, but he didn't listen to what she said at all, or ...... I didn't hear it at all.
Because at this moment, Ma Teng found that all the things he had seen, heard, and felt during this period of time began to emerge in his mind little by little. At the same time, he finally understood where the inexplicable depression and anxiety came from. It's just that, although after knowing it, the depressed and anxious mood completely disappeared, but Ma Teng didn't feel any happiness at all. Because at this time, his mood became mixed.
By the time Ma Teng came back to his senses, Zhang Ning had already left, and he didn't know when he was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard. "Hehe, Ma Shoucheng, Ma Shoucheng, you got everything today with Ning'er, but now you have a grudge against Ning'er? It's really shameless......" Ma Teng looked at the scenery in the courtyard and laughed at himself with a wry smile in his heart.
Yes, resentment may sound like nonsense, but it's actually normal. The so-called husband and wife pay attention to the way of harmony, and this harmony does not specifically refer to anything external, but to the mentality!
From the past, the way of getting along between Ma Teng and Zhang Ning was basically that Ma Teng was outside Zhang Ning and inside the house, Ma Teng led the army to fight, and Zhang Ning made suggestions. The two have cooperated with each other all the way to today, and it can be said that they have cooperated perfectly. At that time, Ma Teng always put Zhang Ning in an equal or slightly lower position with him, and respected and pampered her with great respect. As for Zhang Ning, when facing Ma Teng, she also looked like a virtuous little woman.
It's just that after Zhang Ning forced Li Yi to retreat, or after that time, the attitude of the two changed. Zhang Ning became stronger, and when discussing things with Ma Teng, Zhang Ning's tone began to become like a superior.
And what about Maarten? is the same, since then, his attitude towards Zhang Ning has added a fear in addition to respect and love. When discussing things together, Ma Teng's words became less and less, and even in the recent past, it can be said that Zhang Ning is basically saying that Ma Teng is listening.
In this case, as time went by, Zhang Ning became more and more powerful, and Ma Teng naturally became more and more obedient. All this was seen by others, and it also made the insiders more and more in awe of Zhang Ning.
Of course, strictly speaking, this situation is not a big deal, after all, from ancient times to the present, especially in later generations, it is not without beautiful love stories between strong women and soft men. As mentioned above, harmony ......
If the relationship between husband and wife is described as a percentage, the status of both parties is equal to each other. No matter who is strong, as long as the other party softens, then it will still be harmonious and happy. Even if one party occupies 99 percent, as long as the other party is willing to accept that 1 percent. Because harmony has nothing to do with status, it has to do with the mentality of both parties.
I don't know how long it took, Ma Teng suddenly stood up, looked at the increasingly yellow sky and thought, "No, you can't think like this!" If there was no wife, how could I Ma Shoucheng be where I am today? And I am the prime minister today, one person under ten thousand people! ”
"Although Wen He and Yi'er are very in awe of Madame's attitude, Yi'er is Madame's disciple, and Wen He has been threatened by Madame......" Ma Teng kept looking for a reason, and after a while, a smile reappeared on his face.
At the same time, on the other side, when Zhong Xuan returned home, he immediately called his cronies to give instructions, and then, he saw that the cronies left Zhong Mansion, and after a short time, they came to a wine house. After walking in for a while, he returned to the Zhong Mansion with two jugs of wine.
The news that the emperor was going to choose a concubine soon spread in Sanfu, and for a while, the people were boiling. Countless people took their unmarried daughters to the county to enlist, and for a time, the entire county was full of young girls.
For these people, they don't care how old the emperor is, they only know that once their daughter enters the palace, the family can immediately ask for the current barren and poor life.
And this news is naturally impossible to hide from Li Yi.
"Choosing a concubine? I remember that the Holy One was only a teenager, right? It can't be that Ma Teng chose for himself, right? Li Yi said with a sneer, his tone full of mockery.
"Maybe, according to the information obtained, there is only one main room in that Ma Teng~" Hearing Li Yi's words, Guo Jia on the side immediately echoed with a smile.
The words landed, and the two men looked at each other and let out a lewd laugh that only a man would understand.
However, the only obscene ones were obviously Li Yi and Guo Jia, but Xun Yu on the side was full of melancholy, "Alas, now the saint is trapped in Chang'an and is trapped by the horse thief." Now, even the matter of choosing a concubine may be ...... by the horse thief" and hearing Xun Yu's words, Xu Shu, Zhu Hao and others on the side also sighed.
Seeing this, Li Yi lightly knocked on the table and attracted everyone's attention before he smiled, "Okay guys, no matter how you sigh, that Ma Teng is still doing that big rebellion in Chang'an." Therefore, instead of sighing sadly, it is better to work hard to develop oneself, strive to enter Chang'an as soon as possible, and rescue the Holy Kuangfu Han Chamber! ”
"Although that's impossible......" After finishing speaking, Li Yi looked at the recovered people and silently added in his heart.
Well, now that it has come to this point, how can Li Yi not have any ideas? If it is said that when Li Yi first crossed over, the idea of pacifying the world and establishing a new dynasty was just an idea that was agreed upon as a traveler, then now, there is only one reason why Li Yi thinks so, ambition.
Well...... I don't know what Xun Yu and the others would think if they knew Li Yi's idea? Who knows! But then again, how many people in today's Han world really want to support the Han family? I'm afraid that even Cao Cao, who has been working hard for this goal in the past, has changed his mentality, right?
