"Kong Ming, please speak!" Ma Hong said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"While rectifying Yuan Shang's subordinates, Yuan Shang's sister Yuan is the queen." When Zhuge Liang said this, everyone was shocked, originally the king's family, the ministers should not have made their own decisions, plus the ministers present except for Fa Zheng, the rest of the people all belonged to the Jingzhou faction who first followed Ma Hong, Ma Hong originally delayed the establishment of the queen, and he had already embarrassed his wife Sun Shangxianghe, if the concubine Yuan Xian was the queen, then ......

Zhuge Liang saw that everyone was shocked, so he said: "The three ladies of the king, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Ma, and Mrs. Yuan, are all from famous families, but the king has also said that he will not be the queen immediately, and Mrs. Sun, the king did not choose to be the queen in the registration ceremony, so it has been decided that she will not be able to become the queen in the future, so the last person left is Mrs. Yuan." ”

Sun Shangxiang, Ma Hong's feelings for him are not deep, with Ma Hong's understanding of this woman, she and Ma Yunlu belong to two types of people, Sun Shangxiang belongs to the kind of woman who has a daughter and a man's heart, although she left Dongwu, but her heart is still in Dongwu, once Ma Hong and Dongwu broke out in war, Ma Hong can be sure that Sun Shangxiang is definitely on the side of Dongwu, so Ma Hong has been married to Sun Shangxiang to the present, although he has touched and rubbed what he should have rubbed, but he has never had a round room with him. Because Ma Hong is worried that once this woman conceives his child, there will be some big troubles in the future. This is a woman who is not easy to conquer, and Ma Hong does not have much thought to spend on conquering women, Ma Hong thinks that when a king in troubled times spends too much time on women, then he is a failed king, except for Cao's wife, of course.

As for Yuan Xian, Ma Hong watched her grow up, and when she took Yuan Xian to Jingzhou a year ago, Yuan Xian had already become a big girl, and Ma Hong slept with her naturally.

At this time, Pang Tong opened his mouth and said: "So if the king no longer marries, Yuan Xian should be the only choice." If Yuan Xian is the queen, then it is to give Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi some hope and give them hope, then when they rectify their subordinates, I think they will not stop it, and maybe they will open their mouths to support it. ”

Liu Ye also nodded and said, "The minister agrees with Zhuge Liang's opinion. ”

The rest of the Jingzhou faction Yang Yi, Deng Zhi, Jiang Wan and Fei Yi saw that Liu Ye and Pang Tong had already spoken, and they could only second, for Fa Zheng, he was a subordinate minister, and he was also the only non-Jingzhou faction courtier who was called to participate in the secret meeting [except for Jiang Wei's identity, of course], Ma Hong's special move was to show his trust in him, and Zhang Song, who was also Jiuqing, was not called, but Fa Zheng was called. No matter who Ma Hong established after his establishment, it would have no impact on him, a native of Liangzhou, and the ministers who surrendered in Yizhou.

Ma Hong smiled, Zhuge Liang was able to put forward this point of view because he had seen through Ma Hong's mind, what Ma Hong wanted to do, but he didn't open his mouth to do it, so Zhuge Liang said it for Ma Hong. After Ma Hong's enthronement ceremony was not established, he originally planned to set up Yuan Xian as the queen in the future to solve the problem of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. Although it is not very pleasant to be guessed by the courtiers as a monarch, Ma Hong is not unhappy, because this also confirms that Zhuge Liang's political talent is indeed high and his vision is indeed accurate.

"Then, when the morning comes, this matter will be proposed by Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang! Lone wants to give Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi a reassuring pill first. ”

"No!" Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong replied at the same time.

"Your Majesty, do you have any questions?" Jiang Wan said.

"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”

"Your Majesty, when the two of them were originally loyal to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang, they were both in important positions, and their official positions were not small, if they were separated from Yuan Shang at that time, they would be given improper official positions, and they might ......."

Before Jiang Wan's words were finished, Ma Hong had already nodded and said: "I understand this matter, this matter is entrusted to the prime minister and Jiang Wan, you are responsible, and you must handle this matter well." ”

This is really an easy errand, but Jiang Wan did not regret saying this, the necessary things still have to be done by capable people, in order to do things well and reduce some unnecessary troubles for the king.

Ma Hong saw that the matter discussed had a result, so he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is anything else, if there is nothing else, let's break up!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a matter."

"Let's see." Ma Hong said.

Fei Yi nodded slightly to Ma Hong and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have seen that the wealthy families and some officials in Xiangyang City have raised a lot of domestic slaves and government soldiers, and if these domestic slaves and government soldiers are not restricted, I am afraid that it will not be good." ”

Ma Hong asked, "Is it a quantitative limit?" ”

Fei Yi nodded and said: "Out of consideration for the security and all aspects of Xiangyang, we should reduce the families of wealthy families and reduce the government soldiers raised by officials." ”

As soon as Ma Hong opened his mouth, he knew what Fei Yi was going to ask, because he explained this to Fei Yi, and Fei Yi raised it at the meeting, after all, in Xiangyang, if the officials raised too many government soldiers, it was easy to break the law, and once they opposed Ma Hong and rebelled, having so many troops would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"What do you think of the prime minister and Da Sima?"

"Fei Yi is right, it really needs to be rectified, some wealthy people do not use livestock to cultivate the land, but use people as cattle and horses to plow the land, and there are too many government soldiers, the master is not properly restrained, and the government soldiers are easy to cause trouble."

Liu Ye said.

Pang Tong nodded in agreement.

"Then this matter will be handed over to Fei Yi, and it will be supervised by Da Sima."

"No!" Fei Yi and Liu Ye said in unison.

After this meeting, a new rule was soon promulgated in Xiangyang City, that the number of domestic slaves kept by wealthy families and officials could not exceed 200; The number of government soldiers raised by a first-class official cannot exceed 300; Officials of the second rank cannot raise more than 100 government soldiers, officials of the fourth to second grades cannot raise more than 30 government soldiers, and officials below the fourth rank cannot raise government soldiers without authorization. Except for officials above the fourth grade, no wealthy family is allowed to raise government soldiers privately, and it is not allowed to make weapons privately, and the number of family members is controlled to less than 100, and metal weapons cannot be worn.

When the new law appeared, Fei Yi was responsible for taking away the surplus soldiers of the wealthy families and officials in Xiangyang City, which was supported by the government, and formed a new army of more than 6,000 soldiers, called the Xiangyang Patrol Battalion, which was taken over by Deng Ai. At the same time, tens of thousands of slaves were freed, and the government was responsible for building houses for them and distributing them with land for farming. (To be continued.) )
