Everyone couldn't help but be speechless when they heard it, if the matter is explained in this way, it is indeed reasonable, the Xiliang Army was invited by the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuzhi to clear the remnants of the anti-thieves and rescue the Han slaves on the grassland, and the name is justified and there is no flaw at all.

Yuan Shu was still unwilling, and said: "After your Ma family was the founding general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, why did your father Ma Teng mix up with the thief Han Sui to raise an army and rebel?" At that time, the general Fubo Ma aided the southern expedition to Jiaozhi, the northern town of the Xiongnu, repeatedly broke the Xiqiang, Geng Geng's loyalty can be seen from the moon, although he died unjustly, his son and nephew did not have a trace of antipathy! How could Ma Teng's generation be so unscrupulous? Could it be that both father and son are impostors? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of sighs, as the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you scold people. Yuan Shu's words are simply a naked provocation, not only against Ma Chao, but even against Ma Yuan.

Ma Chao was even more furious when he heard this, and was about to get up to refute, but saw a middle-aged Confucian interject: "The difference between the highway and this word! Sage Cloud: If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? If you know that you can change it, you can do it well! How can the past be brought up again? In addition, the clan brother Ma Teng is the grandson of the ancestor Ma Yu! Ma Yu's father, Ma Liao, is the eldest son of the ancestor, and his aunt is the queen of the Ming Emperor. And Ma Teng's father, Ma Su Ma Zishuo, was a captain of Changshui, and later lost his official position and returned to Fufeng's hometown. Ma Su has two sons, the eldest son Ma Jingzi Shouheng, has died of illness, and has a posthumous son Ma Dai; The second son, Ma Tengzi, is Shoucheng, the current Xiliang Taishou, with three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Ma Chao, the second son Ma Xiu, and the third son Ma Tie! After that, he looked at Ma Chao with a smile and said, "Do you think so!" ”

Ma Chao had already seen this person just now, and he had known the relationship with this person for a long time, speaking of which this person was still his uncle, but it was not appropriate to recognize each other on this occasion. This person is the current Guanglu doctor, and in later history, he has been with Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other great Confucian scholars in the school.

Ma Rong is the eldest grandson of Ma Rong, a great Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ma Rong is the nephew of Ma Yuan, the son of Ma Yan, a great Confucian in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although he has been dead for more than 20 years, but his apprentices Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan are today's prestigious Confucians. It can be said that the Ma family has been divided into two veins, one wen and one martial arts, and the eldest son, Ma Liao, is still in the land of Xiliang Guanzhong; His nephew, Ma Yan, relocated to the Central Plains. Therefore, the two are actually uncles and nephews of the same clan.

"What the clan uncle said is very true, my Ma family is prosperous and martial, and the generations of knights are all based on their true skills, unlike some straw bags that cannot be written, and martial arts are not enough, all rely on the ancestors' legacy to be filial piety, and the officials do not know etiquette, and they do not know loyalty, and they are shameful and ridiculous!" Ma Chao retorted mercilessly.

Yuan Shu was furious, only his face was red with anger, if He Jin hadn't glanced at him again and again, I am afraid that he would have flipped the table and left.

He Jin frowned and said: "Since Ma Teng was recruited by the imperial court, he prepared officials for my Han Dynasty, why should the highway bring up the old matter again?" Today is a festive day, the old man not only has to wash the dust for General Ma and Ding Tingshi, but also has a happy event to announce to you! ”

Cao Ying was also a thoughtful person, and when he heard this, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "How happy is the general?" Why don't you let us rejoice with it? ”

"That's it! It is! General, please speak clearly! Yuan Shao also hurriedly agreed, obviously not wanting to see Yuan Shu embarrass the Yuan family.

He Jin laughed and said: "Actually, it is my family's business, the old man's middle-aged son is named He Xianzi Shou, and now he is weak, he should marry a wife and have a child to continue my He family's incense." Seven days later, the dog and the Hanoi Yin family and the daughter of the family held a gift of hair, and I hope that everyone here can come to cheer! ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Ying, Yuan Shao brothers, Chen Lin, Wang Kuang, Ding Yuan and other people who were familiar with He Jin couldn't help but show strange expressions, but they quickly returned to normal and expressed their joy.

Brother Xiao Ma was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cao Ying with deep meaning in his eyes, and said secretly: Isn't He Jin's daughter-in-law Mrs. Yin? That is, after the death of He Jin's father and son, the beautiful woman who was accepted as a concubine by Cao Ying by all means, seems to have brought a drag oil bottle, which is He Yan, who later became Cao Ying's son-in-law's master of metaphysics.

He Yan was born handsome, graceful, and his face was as white as powder, and he was nicknamed "Fu Fan He Lang", and he was a typical "little white face". And He Yan's wife, Princess Jinxiang, is the daughter born to Cao Ying and Du Xiuniang. Cao Apu is really fat and water does not flow into the fields of outsiders! These two are really brothers and sisters who are not related by blood.

I have already robbed Cao Ying's concubine, do you want to rob another one? Brother Xiao Ma pondered in his heart and quickly dispelled this idea, it doesn't matter if he offends Cao Ying, the key is that He Jin can't be offended, and if he wants to rob him, he will have to rob him after he dies. Otherwise, more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry will be completely lost, and the gains outweigh the losses for a woman who has never met!

He Jin's old face smiled, and he dealt with them one by one, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

Everyone quickly put the unpleasant thing behind them and continued to drink and laugh about Fengyue. After three rounds of drinking, Lu Zhi, a great Confucian in the dynasty, suddenly said: "I have heard for a long time that Ma Mengqi is both civil and military, and his calligraphy is a unique in the world, and even Xiliang's 'Zhang Youdao' is praised, so why not take this opportunity to show your hand to open our eyes!" ”

Everyone echoed their words, and Cao Ying, who can be called the word "calligrapher", was even more interested, hugged his fists and said: "General Ma's deeds have spread all over the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and he has already heard of it, and it just so happens that he also knows a little calligraphy, I wonder if I can have the honor to see the masterpiece today?" ”

Brother Xiao Ma pondered for a while: "Everyone here is a pivotal figure in the Han Dynasty, and there is no shortage of Confucianism in the world. This is very inappropriate! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they heard this, but Ma Yueyan got up and said: "Virtuous nephews don't have to be modest, the so-called learning is not in order, and the master is the teacher." That Xiliang Zhang Zhi is the world's calligraphy genius, creating a cursive precedent, even this person has taken the initiative to exchange ink treasures with the virtuous nephew, thinking that the virtuous nephew must have a certain attainment in calligraphy, so why not let everyone taste it today? ”

"Exactly!" Cao Ying also persuaded: "Could it be that General Ma thinks that we are vulgar people and are not worthy of appreciating your work?" ”

Ma Chao was helpless and said with a wry smile: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

He Jin was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his subordinates to take pen and ink silk. Although he was born as a butcher, he was most fond of selling his reputation and making friends with literati to increase his fame. A year ago, Zheng Xuan, the great Confucian of the world, was forcibly recruited by He Jin with power, but Zheng Xuan stayed in He Mansion for only one night and hurriedly said goodbye, vowing not to be an official under He Jin.

Cao Ying was also very happy, in order to be able to observe it up close, he even got up to personally polish ink for Brother Xiaoma, which can be seen in his inquisitive heart. All the ministers present here know a little bit of pen and ink, and they are all looking forward to it.

Brother Xiao Ma didn't put pen to paper immediately, but took advantage of Cao Ying's ink grinding and asked in a low voice: "Although the young general was born in the land of Xiliang, he has also heard the name of Cao Gong for a long time, Lord Cao set up a five-color stick and was not afraid of the law of the powerful and Mingzheng, Yingchuan broke the yellow turban thief, and it was the harm of the Son of Heaven who directly admonished the eunuchs, and disdained to cater to the eunuchs and even resigned from the office. ”

Cao Ying felt proud when he heard this, and said with a smile: "General Ma has something to say, but it's okay to talk about it?" ”

Ma Chao said: "After hearing that Lord Cao was the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, Cao Shen, but I don't know why Pei Guo was a man of Xiahou Yuan, and the Xiahou Yuan brothers called their father Cao Taiwei an uncle, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun, who were also Pei Guo people, were the brothers of Lord Cao, what is the reason for this?" ”

Cao Ying was slightly startled, frowned, and said, "How did General Ma know about Brother Xiahou and my clan brother?" ”

Brother Xiao Ma had already thought of the lie, and said in a low voice: "I traveled the world a year ago and passed through Peiguo, these people are quite famous in the local area, and they have heard of the supernatural. ”

"I see!" Although Cao Ying was puzzled, it was reasonable for Brother Xiao Ma to say this, those few people were indeed quite famous in the local area, and he said at the moment: "After the Peiguo Xiahou clan is the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiahou Ying and the ancestor Cao Shen are friends of life and death. For 400 years, the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan have lived in Peiguo for generations, and although the two families are of different races, they have always been like brothers, so the Xiahou brothers naturally want to call my father uncle. ”

Ma Chao nodded, and asked again: "Then the great Changqiu Cao Teng is naturally also the famous Cao Shen?" ”

"Exactly!" Cao Ying said: "My father has been his uncle Cao Teng as his stepson since he was a child, and I am cousins of the same clan with Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chunshi!" ”

And so it was! Brother Xiao Ma was slightly happy in his heart, he asked this completely to solve his doubts, otherwise it would be really itchy. Because of a cow like Cao Ying, later history has not been able to figure out his origin. Even the famous "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" has not been recorded, so there have always been two theories among the people, and scholars also have different opinions.

And now that he has the opportunity to meet Cao Ying himself, of course Brother Xiao Ma will not let go of this opportunity, and finally confirmed that Cao Ying, Cao Teng is a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, Cao Shen, and has no blood relationship with the Xiahou clan.

Another theory is based on Wu Ren's "Cao Concealment Biography", the title of this book has a derogatory connotation, aiming to slander Cao Ying, which is really unreliable and has been misleading future generations for 2,000 years. According to the record of "Cao Concealment": Cao Song's father, Cao Song's real name is Xiahou Song, and he is the cousin of Xiahou Song's brothers, so Cao Ying and Xiahou brothers are cousins of the same clan, and Cao Ying promised his daughter Princess Qinghe to Xiahou Song's second son, Xiahou Mao, isn't it [***]?

After a while, everything was ready, but Brother Xiao Ma was a little difficult to write, because there were too many poems he could plagiarize, it was better to let these people come up with a question, and then use his brain Baidu to find Du Niang to ask for the answer, thinking of this, he arched his hand and said: "General, my lords, I want to ask you to come up with a question, and I will give a clumsy essay on the spot!" I hope you don't laugh at the inappropriateness! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be slightly surprised when they heard this, and they all turned their eyes to He Jin. I secretly said in my heart: Writing on the spot is the most important thing to learn from real talents, and there is no falsification at all, since Ma Chao has taken the initiative to mention it, he is already confident.

What is the protagonist and the general of the dynasty, the question naturally falls on him, and he thinks about it: "The world is in turmoil, the thieves are resurrected, the eunuchs are in charge, and the important ministers of the court shoulder the heavy responsibility of assisting the Han family. How about General Ma's topic of 'talent'? ”
