Ma Renwang's Gaozu Ma Yinqing, once served as the Qingzhou Thorn of the Later Jin Dynasty, Liao Taizong Yelu Abaoji attacked Qingzhou, Ma Yinqing insisted on not surrendering, was captured alive after the city was broken, Liao Taizong valued his loyalty, released him, and moved his whole clan to Liao Xianzhou Fengxian County Yiwu Yanshan, and since then he has lived here.

Although he was in Liao, Ma Yinqing did not forget his homeland, and left a legacy when he was dying - his descendants can be born in Liao, take convenience in the middle, and regain the lost land in the Central Plains.

The descendants of the Ma family began to enter the Liao Dynasty in accordance with Ma Yinqing's legacy. Ma Renwang's great-grandfather, Ma Tingxu, was left behind in Nanjing, Liao; grandfather Ma Yuan, who was left behind as the deputy guard of Zhongjing; Father Ma Quan, served as the envoy of Zhongjing Wensi - it's just that for several generations, the Liao State has never been in decline, and the generation of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo finally became mediocre, who knows that Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty is ten times more ridiculous than Yelu Yanxi! This time, the Ma family had the heart to return to obedience, but there was no master to support them, so they had to continue to wander in the Liao Kingdom.

The vicissitudes of personnel, by the time of the Ma people's generation, many of the children of the Ma family have been committed to the Liao Dynasty, as if they are orthodox Liao people, even if they have the ancestral legacy, Ma Renwang does not dare to preach to this kind of children, but secretly pay attention to the cultivation of Ma Rouji and Ma Zhi is the last wish relay of the new generation of young people in the Ma family.

To be honest, Ma Renwang really can't look down on the strength of Emperor Huizong of the Southern Dynasty with his vicious eyes of the old eunuchs, but Ma Zhi is a young man in the end, and he just can't wait to end the will of his ancestors in his own hands, so he seized the opportunity of the rise of the Jurchen tribe, took the line of Tong Guan, and rebelled against Liao and went to the Song Dynasty.

For this reason, the horse people looked at the table to Emperor Liao, saying that the family was unfortunate, there was a rebel traitor, and the old minister had no face to stand in the court again, please take the wok. Although Yelu Yanxi is obsessed with hunting and abandoning political affairs, he treats his courtiers absolutely meaningfully, and he writes an edict with six words: "Give Ma Xuanhui nothing." It's not that Yelu Yanxi is free and easy, it's really that he doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and he can't make more gorgeous words.

Although he was exempted from the sin, Ma Renwang still did not forgive, repeatedly asked to resign, retired to Lushan, Yelu Yanxi never allowed, so far, Ma Renwang's posture has been done enough, and he will push the boat down the river, and the matter of Ma Zhi will be gently revealed.

Unexpectedly, the stunned young man back then came back today, and he dared to come to his gang of stunned brothers to pick up his empty box to put Yanyun's hometown! He also dared to bring out Ma Yinqing, the ancestor of the Ma family, to press himself! At this time, the centaur Wang felt that he was no longer angry, but funny.

"Today's young people are really not as good as the generation!" The old man thought.

Looking at Ma Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground and unyielding, the horse man sneered first, and then said slowly: "You little animal, you behave frivolously, you will only cause trouble with people!" A few years ago, you had no eyes and died in the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty perished, and everything you planned turned into flowing water. I only said that you eat a trench, grow a wisdom, and you should also grow a little, who knows that when you see it, you still speak like this, and treat the world as if there is nothing - if the children of my Ma family are like you, how can they achieve great things? ! ”

Ma Zhi hurriedly said: "The ancestor listened to the gift - although the child did something wrong in the affairs of the Song Dynasty, but after the death of the Song Dynasty, there was the new establishment of the Chinese Federation, Kexixia, Liantubo, and Dali. The child is not material, now he is under the command of the head of Ximen, and today's Tuyan's move is not self-conspiring, but the strategy of the head of state! ”

As soon as he heard that this matter had the participation of Ximenqing in the Southern Dynasty, Ma Renwang immediately stood up and walked to Ma Zhi's side: "It turned out to be Ximenqing?" This person started with a pool of water, and finally held the world, but he was not an idle person. You little beast is a good skill, and after Song died, he actually threw himself into his door again! It's just that the matter is big, and there is nothing to rely on, so you have to bring a certificate! ”

Ma Zhi took out a handwritten letter from Ximenqing from his arms and handed it over. The centaur looked at it and opened it, looked at it again and again, and suddenly burst into a long laugh, only to laugh so that his white beard fluttered and swept across his chest.

In the laughter, Ma Zhi and Ma Rouji peeked at each other, and they didn't know what the ancestor was laughing at?

As soon as the laughter stopped, the centaur casually folded the letter and put it in his arms, and then said, "I already know about this, you two, go down for me!" Where to go back and forth, stay honest, don't have more life than wrong! ”

Seeing that the old ancestor didn't show a single one, but just exported to pick up people, Ma Zhi was anxious, and he couldn't wait to grow on the floor and not get up: "Ancestor, this Tuyan is not the power of a child, but the power of a country!" If you miss this opportunity, you will be a sinner through the ages, and you will not be able to see your ancestors in the ground after death! ”

Ma Renwang took a sip and said with a smile: "Old man, I have lived for eighty years, can't I still keep up with the knowledge of my children?" Your fetal hair has not faded, and the smell is beginning to dry, what are you twittering here? Rouji, drag this guy out for me and get him out! ”

At this time, Ma Rouji and Ma Zhi could finally hear it, and the old ancestor's words seemed to have a deep meaning. So when Ma Rouji came to drag Ma Zhi, Ma Zhi didn't act coyly, got up and followed Ma Rouji out of the study.

Just when the two of them were in the two-foot door and outside the two-foot door, they heard the horseman shouting: "Slow! ”

Ma Zhi and Ma Rouji quickly froze down, and then listened to Ma Renwang and said slowly: "This matter has a lot to stake, and you can't participate in it!" After I go back, I restrain myself, it is the dragon that coils me, and the tiger that lies down for me. ”

The two of them reluctantly agreed to come out. Ma Rouji instructed his family to take the horse, and Ma Zhi returned to the courtyard where Li Zheng and Liu Fan were after the horse, and after the four brothers got together, Ma Rouji asked: "Brother, what does the letter you brought say about it?" How did the ancestors see it, and the color is very different from before? ”

Ma Zhi said: "You ask me, who do I ask?" My head of state personally wrote it, do I dare to peek first? ”

Everyone guessed and guessed, but they still didn't know the point, and finally Ma Zhi said: "The ancestor ordered, let me wait for these days to be careful and cautious, I can't say, these days the brothers are working harder, nest at home, restrain their subordinates, don't show off!" ”

Everyone nodded: "Yes!" I've endured it all these years, but I can't bear it for a few days? ”

At this time, Ma Zhi had already changed back into the clothes of the Southern Dynasty and said goodbye to the brothers: "I also have to go back to the envoy group!" Brothers carefully! ”

Everyone nodded goodbye, Ma Zhi returned to the Jinting Pavilion, but saw that it was a little empty, and the little boss who stayed on duty saw that Ma Zhi was back, came over and grabbed his chest, and scolded: "You are so brave!" Adults go out to greet guests, and you run away without a trace! But the old men help you work on the top cylinder! ”

Ma Zhi sighed in a low voice, lost a long time to be careful, and coaxed the man before asking, "Where did Master Cheng go?" ”

The man said: "Although the Emperor of Liao gave us a day to recuperate, where can Master Cheng sit still?" He had just prepared a gift and went to see an uncle of the country! ”

Although there are many uncles in Liao, there is only one of the most popular and favored in this dynasty - that is, Xiao Fengxian, the double brother of the queen Xiao Duoli and the concubine Xiao Guige.

Xiao Fengxian was swept to the end because he had to bear the relationship between the defeat of the army for his master, he was an idle person, he was used to doing favoritism and corruption and bending the law, and in the days of waiting for the comeback, it was really painful. When I was bored, I suddenly heard a report from the housekeeper, saying that there was a messenger from the Southern Dynasty Cheng Wanli who asked to see him.

After thinking about it, this envoy of the Southern Dynasty came strangely! He didn't go to visit the important ministers of the court, why did he first ask to see his uncle, who had fallen off the horse? I think of the details of the peace discussion with the Southern Dynasty that I heard when Emperor Yelu Yanxi announced that he had secretly entered the palace last night, and then confirmed the suddenness of this journey--there is quite intriguing!

Thinking of it, Xiao Fengxian asked casually, "How did the surname Cheng come from?" ”

Xiao Fengxian's housekeeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a low voice: "Master! That Lord Cheng came with strong soldiers and strong horses, carrying a big box with ten big mouths! ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help but reach it, and then Xiao Fengxian laughed. He asked this sentence, it was an unintentional habit, when he was the privy envoy of the North Court in the past, whenever someone came to visit, Xiao Fengxian always had to ask this sentence first, and he figured out the fat and thin, and then decided the grade of the greeting - whether to open the middle door, or to take the corner door, whether to sit and wait in the arch, or to descend and welcome, that is all particular.

I didn't expect that after a long time, this has become a mantra. It's just that since his retirement, others have only said that he has fallen out of favor, and he has been neglected for a while, making the mantra useless, but today he unconsciously rehashes the old words, but Xiao Fengxian's ambition is full of enthusiasm, and he secretly thought: "The arrival of today's envoy from the Southern Dynasty may be the day when my Xiao Fengxian will soar into the sky after the nine songs of the dragon!" Hey, hey, hey......"

Thinking of the happy place, coupled with the face of having those ten big boxes, Xiao Feng first ordered: "Open the middle door wide, and I will greet you personally." The butler happily agreed, and led a group of little servants to go. As is customary, their group of minions who eat food have another benefit to be harvested.

Xiao Feng first changed into the clothes of the guest, and slowly greeted him, and when he arrived at the second gate, he had already seen the corner of his robe raised, and he was coming quickly under the direction of his housekeeper. Seeing Xiao Fengxian from afar, the housekeeper mentioned two words in the official's ear, and the official snatched a few steps forward as if flying, and said loudly: "Lord Xiao, Cheng Wanli, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, this is polite!" The dignity of the adult gold and jade, actually came here to pick up the jade toe, how to teach the villain to afford it? Not the son of man! Not a son of man! ”

Listening to Cheng Wanli's humble words, seeing the envoy of the Southern Dynasty looking sincere, Xiao Fengxian's heart was already full of flowers because of the long-term injustice. This is exactly what it is:

First use books to keep the old way open, and then speak to the ministers. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
