Ma Lan ignored the angry gazes of the people outside the Yang Mansion, and walked after the Yulin Army for a long time, feeling more and more depressed.

followed out of the door, and saw that the street was full of kneeling people, Ma Lu was depressed, so he simply stopped looking, and returned to the Fufeng County Mansion with an annoyed face.

On this day, Yang Guozhong's family left Chang'an City and exiled to Lingnan Road, and the people everywhere they passed all bowed down, and it took more than three hours just to get out of the city.

The news of Yang Guozhong's imprisonment came out, Yang Youniang was worried every day, except for Huaqing Palace these days, Ma Ling spent most of the rest of the time in the county king's mansion with Yang Youniang, who was extremely nervous, and did not walk around the streets and alleys. Today I originally wanted to see the jokes of the traitor Yang Guozhong, but then he found that the public opinion in Chang'an City had fallen to Yang Guozhong one-sidedly, Yang Guozhong had been praised to the sky by people, and he had become a traitor out of ten!

Almost all the people of Chang'an City accepted the statement that An Lushan was going to rebel, and they were grateful to Yang Guozhong for eliminating traitors for the country. There are also people who put him alongside the dead plain Taishou Yan Zhenqing and Jingsai military envoy Gao Wenyuan, called the Three Saints, and set up shrines to worship.

is also the prime minister of the dynasty, one does not hesitate to eliminate traitors for the country, and the other forces the people of Guanzhong to a barbarian land thousands of miles away.

Depressed is depressed, but Ma Lan doesn't care. He is more practical than famous. Either way, the situation has turned in the direction he was trying towards.

Yang Guozhong was exiled to Lingnan Province, and without the constraints of this sworn enemy in the court, it would be much easier to manage the land in the river. Although the edict of the Son of Heaven was poisonous to the people of Guanzhong, it was able to change the demographic structure of the land in the river in the shortest possible time.

Once hundreds of thousands of Han people multiply in the land of the river, the vast land between the Wuhu water and the medicine killing water to the Aral Sea will be permanently owned by the Han family.

has lost the reputation of a big traitor, and he doesn't care. Thousands of miles to serve the king, he has nothing to ask for, he is never selfless, only for the sake of the entire Han nationality, and naturally has a clear conscience.

……

On the second day after Yang Guozhong left Chang'an, another edict was issued in the Huaqing Palace.

Therefore, the envoy of the three towns festival, the interview envoy of Hebei Province, and the king of Dongping County, An Lushan, was posthumously presented as the Taiwei and the governor of Yongzhou.

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life? This miscellaneous hu, who caused chaos in China in the original history and brought the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to an abrupt end, finally left the historical stage of the Tang Dynasty in such a way.

As soon as An Lushan died, the three towns of Fanyang, Hedong, and Pinglu were in vain, and it became a top priority to determine a new candidate.

On December 21, the Huaqing Palace was once again in the early dynasty.

There were fewer familiar faces and more people among the ministers present.

In the 10 days since the boycott, Li Longji has privately made a large number of personnel adjustments, and all the vacancies left by Yang Guozhong's party have been filled, but Yang Guozhong's position as right minister is still vacant for the time being.

On such an occasion, Ma Lan is not prepared to express his opinion. Anyway, An Fatzi is dead, the potential threat of Datang has been lifted, Datang is a famous general after all, no matter who goes to the northeast, it will not be worse than An Lushan.

Chen Xilie, the left minister, looked respectful, but the smugness in his eyes could not be concealed. Yang Guozhong was offended and exiled to Lingnan Dao, although Ma Lu's Tongzhongshu Sect Pingzhangshi is also considered the prime minister, his status is lower than that of him, the left minister, and now he has really become the first person under the Son of Heaven, such a status is what he has dreamed of for so many years.

Before the Son of Heaven came in, all the ministers were waiting in the palace. Chen Xilie approached Ma Lan and said with a smile: "Ma Xiang, the Three Towns Festival is the candidate, do you have any plans in your heart?" ”

Ma Lan shook his head: "Ma Lan is just a martial artist, such a thing can be decided between the Son of Heaven and Chen Xiang, why do you need to ask me about this rough man." ”

Chen Xilie smiled: "Why should Ma Xiang be too humble, who doesn't know that Ma Xiang is all-rounder." ——In the old man's humble opinion, the three towns should not be given to one person, but should be divided among three people. The most important point is that Hu Ren can no longer be allowed to serve. The conflict between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan, in the final analysis, was caused by An Lushan's Hu people, which made Yang Guozhong uneasy. This is a lesson from the past, and we must not be careless. ”

Ma Lan nodded: "What Chen Xiang said is extremely true. ”

Chen Xilie smiled and patted Ma Lan's shoulder and walked back to his position. He didn't speak loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear. After listening to Chen Xilie's words, everyone naturally had their own plans in their hearts.

After waiting for a long time, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, walked out in the company of Gao Lishi, looked quite tired, sat down and yawned and said, "Jia Qing, declare the decree!" ”

The ministers knelt down at the same time, and Jia Zhi, a scholar from the middle school, took out a copy of the holy decree that had already been prepared and read it aloud.

"The system said: Hussar General Ma Luan ......"

This holy decree was actually given to Ma Lan!

After Ma Lan heard Jia Zhi finish reading, the corners of his mouth twitched. The others looked at Ma Lan with envy in their eyes.

Hedong Jiedu envoy, Fanyang Jiedu envoy, Pinglu Jiedu envoy!

After An Lushan's death, the envoys of the three towns who were vacant actually fell on Ma Lu's head!

Counting the two Dao of Anxi and Beiting, this is already the envoy of the five festivals! Even when Wang Zhongsi was at its peak, it was just a four-town festival envoy, and now Ma Lu is even more than Wang Zhonghe!

"Ma Qing, aren't you grateful?" Li Longji looked at Ma Lan and smiled gently.

Ma Lan was full of excitement, suddenly bowed to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty atonements, the minister will not dare to receive the decree if he dies!" ”

"Why?" Li Longji frowned.

The corners of Ma Lan's mouth twitched, this is trying to kill people.

The two roads in the north court of Anxi are to enter the river, and now what does it mean to add these three towns? That's really the power of the world. When your old man dies, and the successor emperor comes to cook a rabbit and a dead dog, can I still live?

"Your Majesty! Thanks to His Majesty's trust, Wechen is grateful! It's just that Weichen is not a person who is greedy for power, and he just wants to use the sword of the Tang Dynasty to open up land for the plough of the Tang Dynasty. Holding the festival Anxi is already the limit of Weichen's ability, and the three towns of Heshuo are really unable to take care of it. His Majesty asked his ministers to take on this important responsibility, but I was afraid that it would ruin state affairs. Wechen is determined to forge ahead in the West, but he really can't take on the position of the three towns. ”

An inexplicable smile appeared on Li Longji's face: "Ma Qing doesn't have to be too modest, the West must open up, and the East must also open up." The whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister, I have entrusted you with a heavy task, just to see how far you can go with the Tang Iron Cavalry. ”

The Son of Heaven is really greedy!

Ma Ling smiled bitterly in his heart, so he had to kowtow again: "Your Majesty, my famous generals in the Tang Dynasty are like clouds, and the three towns and festivals are entrusted with three famous generals, and Weichen really can't do this." What's more, there are thousands of miles between the three towns of Anxi and Heshuo, and there is a Hui in the middle, and it will take several years for Weichen to take the west, where can he take care of the three towns of Heshuo! Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed. ”

Li Longji smiled and said, "Ma Qing, I have made up my mind, you don't have to say it anymore." Anxi Xiting and the three towns of Heshuo are thousands of miles apart, and I believe that you will have the day to open up for me! You said it would take years to take the West, so I promised you a few years. In this way, the position of the envoy of the three towns is still yours, but you can be regarded as the prime minister and the deputy envoy of the festival to act as the authority. It is up to you to choose who will be the deputy envoy. How's that? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't dare to obey the order!" Ma Ling wailed.

is also responsible for opening up the three towns of Anxi Xiting and Heshuo, so wouldn't it be necessary to destroy the Hui Hui? The Son of Heaven's appetite is really big!

"The edict has been issued, how can it be withdrawn? That's it! Ma Qing, instead of bothering with me here, you should think about the candidates for the three deputy envoys! Li Longji waved his hand and smiled gently.

“……”

Li Longji said with a smile: "Ma Qing, others are all inspired by the addition of officials and knights, but you are like this." It's also a good thing to be cautious, and it shows that I'm not wrong. I still remember how happy Wang Zhongsi was when I ordered him to hold the four festivals. In comparison, Ma Qing, you are still better. ”

"Ma Qing, the position of the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, I will be vacant for you from today onwards, and when you succeed in entering the court, you will be my right minister!"

Ma Lan grinned again, this was obviously roasting himself on the fire. Sneaking a glance at Chen Xilie, Chen Xilie's expression was calm, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Originally, Yang Guozhong was offended, and he was very likely to go further and take Yang Guozhong's place. And now the words of the Son of Heaven are blocking this road.

"Ma Luan, the Son of Heaven treats you like this, and you still don't thank you?" Gao Lishi's voice suddenly rang out, and his voice was extremely majestic.

Ma Lan smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that if this news spreads again, he will not be able to take off the hat of a traitor. In the government and the opposition, I don't know how many people will see themselves as a thorn in the flesh. However, what can be done, who can disobey the words of the Son of Heaven? It can only be a kowtow to thanks.

"I'm still a little tired, so let's leave it at that." Li Longji smiled and waved his hand, stood up and walked back, really in a hurry.

All eyes fell on Ma Lan, and their eyes were extremely hot.

"Ma Xiang, congratulations!" Chen Xilie stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Ma Xiang, no minister has had such a favor since the beginning of the century, Ma Xiang is the first person. Ma Xiang, congratulations! ”

"Horse ......"

Ma Ling shook his head with a wry smile, arched his hand towards everyone and walked out.

The five towns are envoys, and the position of the right phase is waiting for us!

What is this called? Lao Tzu doesn't have the ability to do it every day, where can he take on so many heavy responsibilities!

……

When the news came out, as Ma Lan expected, it immediately caused a sensation in Chang'an City.

I don't know how many people beat their chests and shook their heads and sighed, saying that the Son of Heaven was deceived by traitors. If you are bold, you can directly say that the Son of Heaven is old and confused.

In fact, Ma Lan himself also thinks that the Son of Heaven is old and confused. There are more than 400,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty, and now there are 200,000 nominally under his control, and the ones who are still in his hands are the elite of the border army. If he was a normal emperor, he would never be able to do such a thing.

Could it be that Princess Yuzhen dreamed of her ancestor Lao Tzu again? Ma Lan sat in the county king's mansion and said in his heart.

The pressure in his heart was too great, and the woman in front of him was still beautiful and gentle, but it couldn't completely relieve him. (To be continued.) )
