Ma Hong has absolute trust in his left and right prime ministers Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, he believes in their ability, if there are some things that even they can't do, let Ma Hong do it, it won't be too easy to do, so in the three years since Ma Hong established this system, few people will propose it at this time.

Of course, at the beginning, there were a few, and some young courtiers asked such questions on the spot: Your Majesty, I think my ability can be upgraded to another three grades.

After Ma Hong heard this question, he was promoted from the fifth rank to the second rank at that time, and then a month later, he was directly dismissed from the official, because that person really couldn't do what the second rank official could do.

When it comes to the word official, Ma Hong is actually still a little uncomfortable, he used to have the impression that he is not an official or greedy, but the bad habits of officials in this era are not so serious, Ma Hong is still very satisfied.

At this time, when the eunuch said for the third time, there was a book to play, and there was no book to retreat.

As one of the Jiuqing, Xi Zhen stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book!" ”

Ma Hong paused, glanced at his cousin Xi Zhen, and said, "Aiqing, please speak." [I don't want everyone to forget, Xi Zhen and Xi Wei are both cousins with Ma Hong, and there have been many chapters that have not appeared, the earliest time they appeared was in the first volume, and they are rarely mentioned in the future, so let's take a look at this time, so as not to forget who Xi Zhen is]

Xi Zhen walked out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince built a horse farm outside Xiangyang City, this horse farm covers an area of 700 acres, the field was forcibly snatched back from the hands of the people, 700 acres of land is the capital used by hundreds of people to support their families, and it was forcibly expropriated by the eldest prince to build a horse farm, and the people will not be able to live." ”

"Is that the case?" Ma Hong looked at Ma Shuang and spoke.

Ma Shuang's face turned red and he said, "There is such a thing." ”

Ma Hong's face changed instantly, his son got up so early, and said that the first ray of sunshine was the most beautiful, but now he did such a thing, which couldn't help but make him unhappy.

"Why do you want to do this?" Ma Hong asked.

Ma Shuang lowered his head like a child and said, "Father, my son is playful." ”

"You know you're wrong!" Ma Hong scolded.

"The son knows his mistake." Ma Shuangdao.

"So do you know what to do?"

"Erchen knew, Erchen went back to dismantle the horse farm, returned the field to the people, sold the horses in the horse farm, and exchanged them for ploughing cattle to give to the people, so that the people could plow."

Ma Hong snorted coldly and said: "As the eldest prince, you don't take responsibility for yourself and abide by the law, but you have to take the lead in violating the law, punish you for two months, and don't leave the palace." ”

"The retainers obeyed."

Xi Zhen in the hall retreated with satisfaction.

Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang served as the prime ministers on the left and right, one stood on the left and the other on the right, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

When he retreated, Ma Shuang walked out dejectedly, Zhuge Liang. Pang Tong and Liu Ye went to the dining room in the palace to have breakfast together, as the courtiers of the Chu State is very welfare, every morning after the court, the courtiers can go to the dining room to eat the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Ma Hong for them.

"Hehe, the eldest prince is not very kind in this matter, how can he take the land of the people?" Pang Tong rubbed his stomach and said to Zhuge Liang and Liu Ye while eating a pancake and fried egg.

Liu Ye smiled and said: "My eldest prime minister, don't pretend to be confused, you are such a shrewd person, can you not see what kind of medicine is sold in this eldest prince's gourd?" ”

Zhuge Liang took a sip of sweet soup and said, "Well, today's soup is so sweet, I'll bring some back to my wife to drink." ”

Pang Tong sighed and said, "It's a pity! Ma Hong's guy doesn't prepare wine for us to drink. ”

"I'm afraid there aren't many people who drink in the morning except you!" Liu Ye said with a smile.

"Anyway, who gave Ma Shuang this idea, it wasn't this little ghost who came up with this bad idea by himself! Is it that his father is watching him too closely, so he made this thing to make his father feel at ease with him! Pang Tong asked.

"Well, this cake is also very fragrant, I will also bring back two, Senior Brother Pang, you eat one less, and I will also bring back one of your cakes." Zhuge Liang took out the egg cake from Pang Tong's lunch box and put it in his lunch box, and smiled.

Liu Ye said: "I said Senior Brother Zhuge , you are a prime minister, it is not a problem to buy a thousand such cakes a month!" Are you so stingy? ”

"It's called savings." Zhuge Liang retorted.

"Did you two listen to me again?" Pang Tong asked.

"Isn't it that Ma Shuang is afraid that his father thinks he has different ambitions, so he learns from the addiction and fun of the ancients, so that his father can relax his vigilance, does such a simple question need to be said?" Liu Ye glanced at Pang Tongdao impatiently.

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "It won't be so simple!" It stands to reason that Ma Shuang, this kid is still so young, he shouldn't ......"

"What's wrong with being young? Senior Brother Pang, don't forget, what did we do when we were his age. Zhuge Liang hurriedly closed the lid of the lunch box to prevent Pang Tong from taking the egg cake away.

"I don't mean to say, if Ma Shuang really wants to make his father think that he has no ambitions, why do he do things that are addicted to fun, and still behave in front of Ma Hong from time to time? Why is that? Isn't that a contradiction? Pang Tong said.

"Maybe this little guy is very conflicted now!" Liu Ye sighed and said: "He is too much like Senior Brother Ma, he is very intelligent, he can be so contradictory, it is also because he was forced!" You think, Ma Shuang, this kid just married Yuan Shang's daughter, and he was scared of Yuan Shang becoming a monk, and if this continues, the officials of the entire Chu State, whoever dares to get close to him in the future, whoever is close to him, will suffer. ”

"This Ma Hong is also a little unkind to his son!" Pang Tong said.

"No way, who made Ma Shuang too good, now he has pressed Ma Yi, don't forget that Ma Yi is the prince! Later emperors. ”

Liu Ye said.

Zhuge Liang patted the lunch box and said, "If you don't talk first, I'll go back." ”

"Go back and do something, you don't want to interject, you can listen." Pang Tong glared at Zhuge Liang and continued to say to Liu Ye: "But this Ma Yi is also very interesting!" ”

"What's interesting?" Liu Ye asked.

"Do you remember when Xi Zhen said in the hall today that Ma Shuangqiang robbed the people's homes, Ma Yi's expression was very surprised? The surprise was fleeting, not pretended, it was obvious that Ma Yi had not told Xi Zhen about it in advance, and he had not asked Xi Zhen to report Ma Shuang. Pang Tong said.

"The relationship between the Xi family and the Kuai family has been good over the years, Xi Zhen is naturally on Ma Yi's side, if it is an ordinary person, seeing that his competitor has a handle in his own hands, he will definitely get him, but Ma Yi did not take the initiative to get it, but Xi Zhen helped him get it, so this Ma Yi was very surprised." Liu Ye said.

"Not only that, Ma Yi's surprise was followed by a trace of fear, he was afraid that he had already thought that this was Ma Shuang's deliberate mistake to cause him to make a move, he saw through it, but Xi Zhen helped him, now he was afraid that his father's favorability towards him would decrease!" Pang Tong said. (To be continued.) )
