Fu Shou was born in 179, two years older than Liu Xie, and he will be married in just over a year. At this moment, he is seven feet long (about 1.6 meters), his hair has not been pulled up, he is combed with a ponytail, his figure is slim, and he has a pair of big eyes, which makes him even more beautiful.

But Fu Yan was not as active as Fu Shou, and was hesitating, but saw Dong Cheng hugging his fists and said: "Please also ask the general to understand, the little girl and the Son of Heaven are in love, and they are about to become nobles!" I'm afraid"

Ma Chao's heart moved, and he frowned: "If General Ben is not mistaken, General Dong is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Yongle!" ”

Dong Chengdao: "Exactly! ”

Ma Chao said: "The Son of Heaven is the grandson of the Empress Dowager Yongle, so in this way, the relationship between Fu Yan and the Son of Heaven is that of cousins. According to the latest Han law, marriage is forbidden between two people who are related by blood, and the Son of Heaven and the minister should set an example for all the people! Therefore, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven and Ling Ai to become husband and wife, and besides, how could Ben have never heard of this? After a pause, he shouted: "And you are originally from Longxi, and you have an unclear relationship with Dong Thief, and the whole family of Dong Thief was executed back then, only because you were the nephew of the Empress Dowager Yongle to save your life!" Now that he is suspected of assassinating the general, he has not changed his performance, could it be that the sword of the general is not good? ”

Dong Cheng hurriedly said: "The general has misunderstood!" The last general has no such intention, but this matter will have to be left to tomorrow! The last general really doesn't dare to make his own decisions! ”

Ma Chao sneered: "In this case, your family will wait patiently in prison for the results of the general's investigation!" Ben Jiang still has a lot of the original Niu Fu's subordinates, if Ben General knows that you have taken refuge in Dong Thief, you will definitely be beheaded! Even the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager Yongle can't save you! After that, he shouted: "First put Dong Cheng's family in prison temporarily, and the house slaves will be dismissed!" Wait for the results of the investigation to make a decision! ”

"Obey!" Suddenly, more than 50 pro-soldiers rushed up, dragged and dragged them, and took down all the more than 20 members of Dong Cheng's family.

Dong Cheng was furious and shouted: "The general is so arrogant and unreasonable, how is it different from Dong Zhuo at the beginning? Do you regard the Son of Heaven as if there is nothing? ”

Ma Chao said: "It is precisely because of loyalty to the Son of Heaven that the general must maintain the law of the imperial court, but you are no more than Dong Thief and the rest of the party, because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager Yongle, you can save your life!" Ben will break the Huns, attack Wuheng, break Xianbei, and subdue 100,000 white wave thieves and millions of black mountain thieves internally, pacify and merge and Hebei two states, so great merit can only be crowned hussar general, what merit do you have to dare to lead the hussar general? ”

Dong Cheng's face turned pale, and now he finally knew why Ma Chao was bothering him, and moved his lips, but he couldn't speak. What Ma Chao said is true, his identity is extremely complicated, it is true that he belongs to the distant nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, and he also has a close relationship with Dong Zhuo of Xiliang, it can be said that it is two branches of the Dong family, and the genealogy can even corroborate each other.

Ma Chao looked at Fu Wan, and said: "After the Fu family became famous, Mr. Fu Wan was a scholar in the world, not to mention that he was the concubine of Emperor Heng, and he had nothing to do with Dong Thief. The Fu family will also become a big family in the world because of this! ”

"Thank you, General! I am willing to serve the general! "Hurry up and salute after the end!

Ma Chao was slightly happy in his heart, he was also a talent after he finished it, and his descendants were vigorous, if he could be sincere, he could use it. At the moment, he said: "Okay, Ben will immediately show you as Doctor Guanglu, be responsible for education with Zhong Xuan, and show Fu De to engage in classics, and give the Fu family a new mansion!" ”

After the Fu family, he hurriedly thanked him, but Dong Cheng was angry and envious when he saw this, but the Empress Dowager had already intended to set up Fu Yan as the queen, so he didn't dare to agree to this matter. In history, because the Empress Dowager Dong was killed by He Jin, Fu Shou was able to get the position of queen, and now that the Empress Dowager Dong is still there, how can she give up the throne to the Fu family? Because of this, Fushou has not shown his head until now.

"The general treats Dong Cheng like this, and even dares to put the nobles of the Son of Heaven in prison, isn't he afraid that the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven will be blamed?"

Ma Chao sneered: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" You are Dong thief, the rest of the party is not to talk about it for the time being, just sending someone to assassinate the general is enough to destroy the family! The Son of Heaven is still young, and the general is the minister of the first emperor Tuogu, and he has the right to lead the government, who dares to blame the general? If you want to blame, you can only blame Dong Cheng for not knowing practice! ”

Dong Chengbei was about to speak, but Qi Yan suddenly stood up and said coquettishly: "Since the general can afford the appearance of a cheap concubine, why not let the concubine be a dowry maid for her cousin?" The concubine can respond to this matter for her father, and please ask the general to let our Dong family go! ”

Ma Chao saw that Qi Yan, who was only eleven years old, had a woman's demeanor, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart, and thought about it: "The fate of the Dong family is in their own hands, whether they are prosperous or defeated, it is only a matter of waiting for a thought!" I wonder what the hussar general thinks? ”

Dong Cheng hesitated for a while and sighed: "Since the little girl agrees, the last general has no opinion, but the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager Yongle are to blame, and the last general may not be able to afford it!" ”

Ma Chao said: "You can rest assured about this matter, Ben will find the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother to explain the reason"

After discussing for a while, Ma Chao gave the original mansions of Wang Yun and Gai Xun to Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, and gave 20 pearls, 10 pieces of jade, 1,000 catties of gold, and 200 pieces of silk as a dowry on the spot. This level of dowry is equivalent to that of princes and nobles, and it can be said that it is unique to accept a dowry maid as a dowry. Ma Chao slapped him first and then gave him a sweet date, which was also to win over the two of them and let them know who they had a future with.

Let's say that after the two returned home, they were still in shock. Fu Wan, Liu Hua and their daughter Fu Shou discussed for a while, and without a strong backstage, they could only choose to swallow their anger, which was also a helpless thing. But Dong Cheng couldn't stand this anger, how to say that he was also a hussar general, and he was ridden on his head and, so it's strange if he can bear it! Therefore, as soon as he entered the house, he started a fire on Fu Yan, and the dog scolded by Little Lori was bloody.

Yun Yan didn't think so, and said aggrievedly: "Father is angry! The daughter is also doing this for the sake of the Dong family, now that the champion is high and powerful, how can his father beat him? It's better to temporarily delay the army, and first seek to get out and then think of countermeasures! ”

Dong Chengshen thought so, and said hatefully: "Ma Chao holds his own merits, has no eyes on the king, plays with right and wrong, plays with power, refers to the deer as a horse, forcibly takes a concubine, and is bound to sue him in front of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother!" ”

It would be nonsense to say that Fu Yan and Liu agreed to give a name, but the two are very familiar with each other, and Empress Dowager Dong also hinted that she wanted to help Fu Yan as the queen, so Dong Chengcai strongly opposed this matter. The father and daughter discussed it and went straight to Yongle Palace to see Empress Dowager Dong.

Empress Dowager Dong's face was extremely ugly after asking about the situation, Ma Chao was too rampant, and he grabbed a woman and grabbed the head of the Son of Heaven, this move is tantamount to turning the world upside down, the minister is not the minister, the king is not the king! Liu Xie was also furious when he learned about it, and shouted: "The deception is too much, I still think that the champion Hou is a trustworthy minister in the world, but I think it is no different from the Xiliang Dong thief!" I will not let him succeed! ”

Empress Dowager Dong sighed, shook her head and said: "Don't be angry, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, Ma Chao has great kindness to our ancestors and grandchildren, if there is no Ma Chao, the palace has already become a handful of loess, and the Han family is afraid that it will also die at the hands of Dong Zhuo." At this time, he is about to rely on Ma Chao to calm the world, not only can he not turn his face against him, but also try his best to win him over, otherwise it will only backfire, and the Han family will fall soon! ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and sighed: "Then how should I deal with this matter, and ask my grandmother to teach me!" ”

Empress Dowager Dong said: "Ma Chao's wings are already plump, and he can't be offended, the reason why this palace insists on arranging four dowry maids for him is to press a few more eyes and ears around him, who would have thought that Ma Chao has seen through the intention of this palace, and in turn uses this to win over the Fu family and Dong Cheng, this son is extremely cunning." ”

Liu Xiedao: "I and my cousin have always been in love, how can I break up Ma Chao?" After all, I am still the king of a country, and if I can't even keep the person I like, I will definitely make people laugh at the world! ”

Empress Dowager Dong sighed, frowned and said: "It is only to blame the emperor and grandson for privately appointing Dong Cheng as a hussar general, this move has caused Ma Chao's dissatisfaction, if he presses step by step, Ma Chao will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry, once he seeks to usurp the throne, who can govern the world?" ”

Liu Xiedao: "He dares? How rampant Dong thief was at the beginning, but he didn't dare to blatantly usurp the throne, Ma Chao kept saying that he was loyal to the Han family, and he had to do everything under the banner of me, how could he seek to usurp the throne? ”

Empress Dowager Dong smiled bitterly: "My grandson is confused! How can today's situation be compared with the period of Dong Thief? At that time, the world was not in turmoil, most of the warlords in various places were loyal to our Han family, and there were Ma Chaohu in the north, how dare Dong thief usurp the throne? But now that the Dong thief has been destroyed, Ma Chao's strength has skyrocketed, he has the rich land of Sanzhou, the soldiers are full of food, and there is no shortage of Wang Zuozhi's talents under his command. ”

Liu Xie trembled when he heard this, and instantly understood what was going on, and a sense of despair suddenly rose in his heart, and his face turned pale. Mrs. Dong later paced back and forth, sighed and said: "Grandson doesn't have to worry, Ma Chao is powerful, but for the time being, he doesn't have the heart to be the emperor, otherwise how can he save our ancestors and grandchildren one after another?" For today, Ma Chao can only try his best to win over, not strong, otherwise he will suffer! ”

Liu Xie nodded and asked, "Then this matter should be handled like this!" ”

Empress Dowager Dong pondered for a while and said: "Since you want to win over Ma Chao, you must not brush him off!" What if Fu Shou and Fu Yan give it to him? The palace suddenly thought of a candidate, this person's value is a thousand times heavier than Fu Yan and Fu Shou, if the emperor can accept this person, maybe he can keep the Han family from falling! ”

Liu Xie was overjoyed and asked urgently, "Who can be the queen?" Please tell your grandmother about it! ”

Empress Dowager Dong said: "Ma Chao thought that his sister's name was Ma Yunlu, only one year younger than the emperor's grandson, and her appearance was only stronger than that of Fushou and Fuyan, and her martial arts were extraordinary. In the past, the daughter of Ma Yuan was the queen of Emperor Ming, and now it is said that the grandson can follow the ancestors, and after marrying Ma Yuan, Ma Yunlu will be the queen, which will definitely become a good story! ”

"In this way, he married your sister, you married his sister, kiss and kiss, Ma Chao has to have scruples if he wants to usurp the throne. Further, even if Ma Chao usurped the throne one day, he would not harm his brother-in-law's surname! (To be continued.) )
