Summary of the previous chapter: Cao Cao was ready to issue a merit-seeking order, but because there were many different opinions and opinions in the camp, Cao Cao couldn't decide, so he had to find Ma Xiaoquan to ask for help, Ma Xiaoquan should come down, and went on a pilgrimage to see Emperor Han Xian, who knew that Emperor Han Xian did not miss the old feelings, and turned his face with Ma Xiaoquan on the spot

+++++++++++++++ Ma Xiaoquan didn't care much about the little emperor's sudden turn of face.

If it's a business, losing money and making a profit is a matter of a hammer deal, but if it involves political incidents, it won't be so simple.

"Hey~~" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hua Yuexin looked at her husband's solemn expression and asked softly, "Xianggong, are you still worried about Cao Cao's affairs?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "It's not all."

"Is that because of this incident, the Xiang Guild will be pushed into a political turmoil?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Madam is really smart, that's right, no matter whether this thing is successful or bad, you and I will be branded with the banner of Cao Cao's camp in the future." ”

Hua Yuexin said: "I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?" Xianggong, although I don't understand the struggle of politics, but my grandfather said that if you want to engage in politics, you must choose one camp to join, and the neutrals will definitely be the target of the double attack in the end. ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "That's right, what Madam said is very right, but I was really a little unwilling to be branded as the banner of Cao Cao's camp just like this." ”

Hua Yuexin smiled: "Xianggong, in fact, you have already thought about it when you promised Cao Cao, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "I can't hide anything from Mrs., hehe, yes, I should really choose a team." ”

"Xianggong, are you sure? Do you think Cao Cao will definitely win? This Han Dynasty"

Before Hua Yuexin finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan covered Hua Yuexin's mouth and whispered: "Madam, slow down, although you and I are in the Ma family's compound, we must also beware of the partition wall having ears." ”

Hua Yuexin blinked and nodded gently.

Ma Xiaoquan let go of his hand and said, "There is a grasp of nature, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to help Xiaocao." ”

Hua Yuexin nodded again and said, "No matter what choice Xianggong makes, I will always be by Xianggong's side." ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and took Hua Yuexin into his arms

Two days later, Ma Xiaoquan found someone to get a very luxurious carriage, and then drove to Cao Cao's mansion.

Cao Cao personally went out to greet him, and after the two met, they hugged warmly, and then entered Cao Cao's mansion to talk secretly.

Ma Xiaoquan's entry is two days.

Two days later, Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao went to Xu Capital to meet Emperor Xian of Han.

The first time they met, Emperor Han Xian turned the two away, and sent Han Dynasty ministers to reprimand Ma Xiaoquan for his treachery and curse Cao Cao's autocracy.

Ma Xiaoquan laughed, went up and slapped the old minister to the ground, threatened viciously, and then let the old minister leave.

The old minister covered his swollen right cheek and ran to Emperor Han Xian to complain, and attacked Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao again.

Emperor Han Xian immediately burst out, pulled out his sword and wanted to rush out of the palace and fight to the death with Ma Cao, if it weren't for a vote of eunuchs and Huangmen desperately holding him, he would really let him rush out.

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry"

Emperor Han Xian gritted his teeth and gurgled, and when he looked down, he saw that several small yellow doors were holding his thighs, and the old minister who was slapped by Ma Xiaoquan was also snot and tears.

"Hey!" Emperor Han Xian sighed and threw the sword in his hand to the ground.

The sword fell to the ground, making a "clang" sound, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly let go, kneeling in front of Emperor Han Xian and kowtowing constantly.

Emperor Han Xian tore his clothes and roared.

Outside the palace, Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao heard the roar of Emperor Han Xian, glanced at each other, and laughed in unison.

Cao Cao said: "Lord Shangxian, your slap is really good!" I've wanted to beat that old guy for a long time, it's just"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "It's just that the old guy is eight feet long, and you, the old boy, have only reached someone's shoulder, if you want to beat it, I'm afraid you can't beat it, right?" ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Lord Shangxian really loves to squeeze me, hehe, that's right, if you want to beat me, my body is really not tall, hehe, right, Lord Shangxian, when did you say the emperor will see the two of us?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands: "If you want, we can rush in now, but well, this is too explicit, it is inevitable that we will continue to tell the truth, well, we will wait!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and waited quietly with Ma Xiaoquan

In the palace, Emperor Han Xian's fire was enough, his anger was vented, and his strength was almost used.

Looking at the silent eunuch of the Yellow Gate and the old minister in front of him, Emperor Han Xian gasped and said, "Go and call those two people in for me."

"Yes, yes," a small yellow door stood up with a shaky body, and ran away with his trouser leg and robe.

Outside the palace.

"Master Hou, Prime Minister, the emperor is invited!"

Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao glanced at each other, the two nodded, and followed the small yellow door into the palace.

When they saw Emperor Han Xian, the messy scene just now no longer existed, and was replaced by Emperor Han Xian, who was sitting upright.

However, Emperor Han Xian's face was very bad, oh no, it should be said that it was very bad.

Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by recruiting talents?" ”

Emperor Han Xian said with a gloomy face: "Let me think about it, Cao Aiqing, what do you mean?" ”

Cao Cao stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the Immortal Marquis said is very good!" ”

"You!" Emperor Han Xian stood up, shook his hands and said, "Okay, the two of you have joined forces, right, okay, very good"

Emperor Han Xian said a few "good" in a row, and Ma Xiaoquan was a little pantothenic acid in his heart.

Cao Cao was just about to speak again, but Ma Xiaoquan grabbed him, and then shook his head.

Cao Cao understood, and arched his hand at Emperor Han Xian and said: "The emperor is not safe today, I think it is better to come back tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and left first.

Cao Cao left, but Ma Xiaoquan did not.

As soon as Cao Cao left, Emperor Han Xian, who had been aggrieved for a long time, finally couldn't help but cry out.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "You are finally willing to call me uncle!" ”

Emperor Han Xian sat on the ground crying and said, "Liu Xie begs my uncle to help me, help me"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "How to help?" ”

Emperor Han Xian said: "I implore my uncle to persuade Cao Cao and let him dispel the idea of recruiting talents."

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Impossible, this matter also has a share for the uncle." ”

Emperor Han Xian also shook his head and said: "No, my uncle is an immortal, and with my uncle's means, I can definitely suppress Cao Cao."

"Liu Xie!" Before Emperor Han Xian finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan shouted.

Emperor Han Xian was stunned by Ma Xiaoquan's roar.

Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's been so many years, are you still obsessed?" ”

Emperor Xian of Han was silent.

Ma Xiaoquan continued: "To tell the truth, if there is no Cao Cao in this Han family, it is impossible for you kid to make Xu Du now, and it is impossible for you to live in such a comfortable palace, I, what I said is not wrong, right?" ”

Emperor Han Xian nodded this time.

"Okay, in that case, Cao Cao recruited talents for my big man, why did you stop it?"

"I" Emperor Han Xian couldn't say anything to justify.

"Besides, those old Hanchen are talking so much nonsense to you, in fact, it's also for themselves, isn't it? But what? And what did they do for my Han Dynasty? What was done? What was done? ”

Ma Xiaoquan "did something" three times in a row, and burst into tears when Emperor Han Xian asked.

"Stand up! Like a man! ”

Emperor Han Xian shook his head and refused to stand up.

"Coward!" Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, pulled Emperor Han Xian up from the ground, and patted Emperor Han Xian's shoulder, "Xie'er, in fact, my uncle gave you a chance very early, but since you named your uncle Immortal Marquis, you have never communicated with Uncle Wei again, it's been so many years."

Emperor Han Xian said: "Then I will issue an edict now to restore the hereditary marquis of Uncle Fù, and I will issue it now."

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No need! ”

"Uncle"

"The matter of recruiting talents has been decided, Xie'er, you just agree, or not!" After that, Ma Xiaoquan brushed his sleeves away.

Looking at Ma Xiaoquan's back, Emperor Han Xian sat down, gritted his teeth and said, "No, I won't be a puppet like this again, no."

After returning from Xudu, Cao Cao immediately issued a recruitment order, with the theme of "meritocracy".

Cao Cao's move attracted a large number of talents without official titles, and for this reason, Cao Cao personally made the selection and came to the selection site in person.

Of course, Cao Cao's actions are all a trick given by Ma Xiaoquan, you must know that since he has the hypocritical "filial piety", no big official has been so "close to the people" to treat those who are not from the Shi clan.

The people who came to "apply" were very moved when they saw Cao Cao appear in person, and even knelt on the ground on the spot, crying bitterly.

Among them, there are so many people who make Cao Cao very concerned, and after pulling them up, he asked a few questions, and Cao Cao waved his pen and put it under the account

At night, Cao Cao came to the Ma family's compound to visit Lord Shangxian and told Ma Xiaoquan about the results of his recruitment.

After hearing this, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and pointed at Cao Cao and said, "You kid, you're so talented, hehe, but this time, you kid should have a favorite talent, right?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, but my side has begun to recruit talents, and the emperor seems to have made some moves." ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Well, it's a little interesting, then let's wait and see, haha"

"Haha"
