(Thank you for the tips and evaluation votes of the remnant monument and mourning wood!) At the same time, I would like to thank the friends who have been supporting this book, and I am almost done with things recently, so I will speed up the update immediately! ）

Emperor Ling did this just to win him over, and what he valued was the Xiliang cavalry in his hands and his ability to march and set up formations. You must know that the Eastern Han Dynasty regime has long existed in name only after the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the troops that the imperial court can directly mobilize are only about tens of thousands of Yulin troops, and most of these tens of thousands of troops are in the hands of the He Jin brothers, and Liu Hongshi is a bare-pole commander!

Under these circumstances, Liu Hong wanted to revive the Han dynasty by relying on the powerful local warlords who were loyal to the Han dynasty, and at the same time slowly recovering the power of He Jin and the local warlords to strengthen the strength of the central army. But he can only think about it slowly, otherwise it is not good to anger He Jin, because the current He Jin has the strength to launch a coup d'état and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, of course, if He Jin dares to do this, he will also become "Dong Zhuo" one step ahead of Dong Zhuo, and the princes of the world will rise up and attack him!

To sum up, Liu Hongcai tried his best to win over Ma Chao, and his purpose was to use Ma Chao to balance He Jin. With such a young and promising son-in-law with a heavy army, not only is it difficult for He Jin to have a bad heart, but even those powerful warlords in the local area do not dare to act rashly, and he naturally sits firmly in the position of the Son of Heaven.

Brother Xiao Ma instantly understood Liu Hong's intentions, and secretly admired in his heart, this kind of balance is indeed a very clever imperial technique, and most of it is the idea of Zhang Rang and others. Because Liu Hong does not fall, they can continue to be favored, continue to do whatever they want, and live a free life of poverty and luxury.

But I have no reason not to agree, because these eunuchs can't calculate Liu Hong's untimely death and less than two years of life, so what if the master is to be your son-in-law for two years? As long as Emperor Ling dies and He Jin hangs up, he is nominally the biggest Lao Tzu in the world, and Liu Wei and Liu Xie have to call themselves brothers-in-law.

At that time, as a horse and hussar general of the dynasty, coupled with a heavy army, he could easily become the real ruler of the Han Dynasty with just a call from the heights, and it was also justified to conquer the princes from all over the world to pacify the world. With this righteousness in hand, those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty will not flock to it? It's just that in this way, he can only be Lu Shang and not Wang Mang, and the hard-working world will also be handed over to the Liu family.

However, when he thought of Dong Zhuo again, Brother Xiao Ma immediately had the best of both worlds, and immediately said gratefully: "Your Majesty, even if the minister is broken, it is difficult to repay him, but there is a difficulty in the middle, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Ling seemed to be prepared, and said with a smile: "The difficulty that Aiqing said refers to the yin kiss with the deceased daughter of Xiliang Hansui, right?" ”

"Exactly!" Ma Chao said: "The deceased wife Han and I have been engaged since childhood, Han Sui and my father Ma Teng have also been married since childhood, and Chao once swore to the sky that the deceased daughter Han will always be Chao's wife." The princess of ten thousand years, Jin Zhi Yuye, is His Majesty's beloved daughter, how can she be a concubine for the young general? ”

Liu Hong nodded and said: "You don't see profit and forget righteousness, I am very happy, today you are unwilling to bear your deceased wife, and you will not be willing to bear me when you come, I have already thought about the issue of status, so I will let Zhang Chang tell you!" ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that these people really had a premeditated plan, why did they give gifts to Brother He Jin when they knew this? A few boxes of jewelry were wasted.

Zhang Rang stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Ma doesn't need to worry, according to my Han etiquette, although General Ma has a dead daughter as a wife, but he has never set up a wife, Princess Wannian can be General Ma's wife, and because you don't have a wife, so the wife is really a wife!"

Zhao Zhong also interjected: "This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, General Ma's young hero, the matter of marrying a ghost as a wife for righteousness is almost known to the world, Your Majesty will let your beloved daughter allow you to be a flat wife, it is really out of love, and it is even more magnanimous not to force General Ma to divorce his wife, not only will it not affect the majesty of the royal family at all, but it will also be rumored to be a beautiful talk!" General Ma's refusal to marry a princess of the dynasty and refuse to bear his deceased wife is also a righteous act, and it will only be more admirable! ”

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: No wonder these eunuchs can plague the world for decades, this IQ is really not fake, and this matter was arranged in less than a day. According to the customs of the time, a very noble person could indeed have two equal wives, and this was the case with three wives and four concubines. It's just that there is no fixed saying about three wives and four concubines, and three wives are generally one wife, one flat wife, one wife, or one wife, two equal wives. In official terms, it is: the main palace, the east palace, the west palace; The four concubines refer to: one of the parents in the family and one of the three wives who serve the maids.

In the Han Dynasty, there were very few cases of establishing a flat wife, because although a flat wife could be on an equal footing with the main wife, it still could not change the essence of her concubine, and in the eyes of outsiders, she could never be compared with the main wife. Brother Xiao Ma wants to enjoy the blessings of all people, but he doesn't want to engage in classification at home, so he has never mentioned the matter of a flat wife!

Now that Zhang Rang has mentioned it, Brother Xiao Ma has no intention of objecting, anyway, it is just a name, as long as he treats his women equally, the name is not important, sometimes the name is not equal to the name, and he doesn't care what outsiders think, and said at the moment: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, and the minister is grateful!" It's just that it is not yet the year of marriage, and the name of this matter should be determined first, and it is not too late to make the wedding ceremony later! ”

Liu Hong nodded and said: "This is exactly what I mean, and I will announce this matter in public, and it will be easy to handle it with the identity of the court, as for the qualifications, it depends on your own ability." ”

Ma Chao was puzzled in his heart, and frowned: "Please also ask Your Majesty to speak clearly!" ”

Liu Hong said with a smile on his face: "I recently said that I will recruit strong men to form a team of soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense of the capital. At that time, I will set up a hero in the West Garden, if you can guarantee that you are undefeated in the seven days, you will be the champion of the three armies, and you can be called the veritable champion of my Han Dynasty, and I will be the hussar general to conquer the Black Mountain thieves. ”

Ma Chao couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this, and said depressedly: "Your Majesty means to let the young general guard the ring for seven consecutive days?" ”

Liu Hong said: "That's right, you are too young, if you want to accumulate enough fame and qualifications in a short time, only by virtue of your own martial arts, you have the reputation of the three armies, plus the merits of conquering the northern alien races, no one has anything to say!" ”

"This" Ma Chao couldn't help but ponder, this hero is very lively, where is this Yongguan Three Army! It is clear that he is brave in the world, although Lao Tzu is conceited and brave, but there are more strong players in the strong, even Lu Bu does not dare to guarantee that he can hold the ring for seven days without defeat!

Zhang Rang observed the words and looks, and found that Ma Chao was hesitant, so he persuaded him: "General Ma doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty will naturally not let you accept the wheel war, you only need to compete in one game, this move can not only greatly enhance General Ma's prestige, but also discover talents for the imperial court, killing two birds with one stone!" ”

Ma Chao smiled bitterly: "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, although this move is good, the risk is too great, once the battle is lost, the young general's reputation will be lost, and Shu Chao has to be cautious!" ”

Liu Hong couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, seeing that such a lively thing was about to come to an end, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong at the moment, obviously wanting to make a difference in this matter.

The two were about to persuade each other, but they only heard Ma Chao say: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty agrees to a proposal, it doesn't hurt for the young general to be arrogant!" ”

Liu Hong was overjoyed and said urgently: "Ma Aiqing, let's listen to it!" ”

Ma Chao said: "Seven is too long, the young general is too young, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch it, it is better to change the seven to three, and His Majesty can issue an edict to announce this matter, and after two days, Chao began to accept the challenge of the world's heroes in the West Garden, and only competed with the strongest two people every time." In addition, in order to recruit talents for the imperial court, the name of this competition should also be changed, so it is good to follow the young general to recruit anti-thieves? The victor can receive a reward from the court and reuse it, and the loser can also join the young general to fight against the Black Mountain thieves! ”

"Okay, it's decided, Ma Aiqing is arrogant, she is really a hero in the world!" Liu Hong didn't want to think about it, so he stroked his palm and smiled: "Ming said that I will issue an edict to announce this matter to the world, there will be many heroes and heroes to come to challenge, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, no matter what kind of background Ma Aiqing can beat, he will be awarded the position of school captain, and he will be rewarded with 100 catties of gold!" ”

"Panic!" Ma Chaonuo sighed, and couldn't help but play a small drum in his heart. In less than five days, the news will not spread too far, probably only people from several nearby states and counties in Luoyang can arrive, as long as a fierce person like Lu Bu does not come, he is still very sure of holding this ring.

And this matter is like a double-edged sword, if it is done well, it can spread the reputation of courage all over the world, and the leading champion Hou and the hussar general will no longer be hindered. If you don't get it right, you will be ruined and become a stepping stone for others to become famous.

But these are not the reasons for Brother Xiaoma to agree, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty mainly wanted to have fun and watch the excitement, but it was also not without the intention of recruiting talents. The imperial court wants to recruit talents, why didn't Ma Chao want to? This Luoyang is a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is located, and if you can summon a few fierce generals to serve you, you will not lose money if you lose. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Emperor Ling wants to use himself to balance He Jin, and he will definitely find ways to make himself lead the position, and there is no need to worry about the bamboo basket being empty!

Besides, Ma Chao has not experienced a vicious battle of life and death since his debut, and the heroes of the world at this conference are also very beneficial to the progress of his martial arts, so the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Then Ma Chao began to fool Emperor Ling of Han and Zhang Rang and others, foaming at the mouth and boasting about his defeat of the Southern Xiongnu and Wuheng, and reported the matter of uniting Han Sui to conquer Xianbei to the future old man.

Emperor Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, he had conquered Xianbei three times during his reign for 20 years, all of them were defeated and returned with empty national strength, seeing that Ma Chao was full of confidence and had the record of defeating the Southern Xiongnu first, he couldn't help but increase his confidence and appreciate Ma Chao more.

Ma Chao is humble, and every word he says is as careful as walking on thin ice. Fortunately, Liu Hong did not put on the shelf that the emperor should have, anyway, he was more like a child who didn't grow up, and he spoke very naïvely. The two of them discussed the details of the matter of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the evening that Brother Ma returned happy!
