Everyone listened to Ma Chao's words, and they all laughed, looking at Yang Biao, Yang Biao became the target of everyone.

Ma Chao said again: "But Yang Gong keeps saying that he is from a famous family and a family classic, although we don't know the truth of Hongnong Yang's family, but after all, the reputation is outside, and I can't be wrong to think about it, I will believe it, so I know that these rumors must not be passed on by Yang Gong." ”

Yang Biao said anxiously: "General Mingjian, it is indeed not what he did......

Ma Chao handed Zhang Xiu a look, Zhang Xiu understood, took over the conversation and said: "The last general is also willing to believe Yang Gong, Yang Gong looks so high-sounding, looks like a decent man and a gentleman, he must not be the kind of despicable and shameless, wolf-hearted, unworthy of the name, and deceitful and famous!" Yang Gong, are you right when you say the last general? ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Yang Biao with a smile, Ma Chao and everyone else did the same, Ma Teng, Jia Xu and Yan Zhong, who had always been serious, couldn't help but laugh, lowered their heads and laughed secretly.

What else can Yang Biao say? You can't deny it, and you can't scold Zhang Xiu for a hairy boy and lose his celebrity demeanor, right?

Yang Biao had no choice but to laugh and say, "Yes, yes, what the little general said is extremely true, how can he be that kind of person in the next place?" ”

Zhang Xiufang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yang Gong is worthy of being a celebrity, with a good demeanor, and the last general is like Furu." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was no longer chasing after him, Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat that flowed from his forehead to his neck with the back of his hand.

Ma Chao said again: "Yang Gong has reached the age of no confusion, but Cao Peng, who is in the Situ Mansion, is under the Gongqing and bows to the Yellow Gate. And our hair is tied, and we have already been in charge of tens of thousands of iron horsemen, worshipping as a general, and enjoying the title, which is really deserved. ”

When Yang Biao heard this, Ma Chao was sarcastically mocking him again for his old age and humble official position, although he barely maintained his demeanor, his face was already stiff.

Ma Chao said: "Yang Gong is so old, and he was also sent to my Xiliang to work. In my heart, I can't bear it. It just so happens that there is a temporary lack of a worker Cao Peng in my father's assassination mansion. If Yang Gong is interested, why not take up this position? ”

After Yang Biao heard this, he was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Ma Chao's gourd.

After thinking about it, Yang Biao said: "Thank you for the general's invitation, I have official business below, and I have to assist the general in reducing the army, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to bother more." ”

Ma Chao couldn't think of any words to insist on for a while, and he was anxious that Cao Peng had no one to top it.

Suddenly, a sneer sounded in the banquet, and Ma Chao turned his head to see that it was Jia Xu.

Jia Xu sneered and said, "Why should the young master be like this? Subordinates look at the world's celebrities, how good it is, the most empty talk, sit and talk with the scholars, as long as the words are empty, do not talk about the facts, do not deal with government affairs, must be praised by people, known as 'the world's celebrities'.

Therefore, all celebrities, although they are good at talking, but they do not understand politics, and they can only talk on paper when encountering problems, which is exactly what Confucius said, "the four bodies are not diligent, and the five grains are not divided".

Although Gong Cao Peng's position is low, it is related to Liangzhou's water conservancy, roads, cities, treasury, customs and other matters, and the stakes are very high, and it must not be given to those celebrities who have no real name. Once the celebrities fill my Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion, the lord and the young master have worked hard to manage the stability of Liangzhou today, and it will be in vain; The 1.6 million ordinary people of Liangzhou will also suffer because of this. ”

Ma Teng and Ma Chao both laughed secretly, waiting to see how Yang Biao responded.

Yang Biao knew that he was being caricatured as a soldier on paper again, and he was so angry that the green tendons on his temples burst out, but he still said with a smile: "Oh, if you have such an insight, you must be a master." Still not satisfied? ”

Jia Xu got up calmly, saluted Yang Biao, and said: "Under the surname Jia Mingxu Zi Wenhe, a native of Wuwei, he now lives in the position of Cao Peng, an official of the Liangzhou Assassin Mansion, and is responsible for selecting, tasting, and promoting officials. Therefore, he was worried about the government affairs of Liangzhou, and hoped that Yang Gong would forgive his sins. ”

Yang Biao smiled: "You want to provoke the general, right?" ”

"How dare you? It's really a matter of importance, and I don't dare to be cautious, so I say more. ”

How did Yang Biao not know the thoughts of Ma Chao and Jia Xu? He said, "Then do you think that you should accept this position?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Yes." ”

"Why?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The imperial court sent the prince to this state to assist the Xiliang army in reducing troops, right?" ”

Yang Biao knew that the real purpose was surveillance, and said, "Exactly." ”

Jia Xu said: "Then the prince is not working in the Liangzhou Assassin's Mansion, how can he get in touch with the reduction of troops?" General Kamui Prime Minister reduced the troops, and the public only assisted from it. When cutting troops, you can't let the Shenwei general, who is far higher than the public, come to ask for the public's opinion every day, right? ”

"This ......" Yang Biao hesitated a little.

Jia Xu said: "Besides, if the public takes over the post of handicraft Cao Peng, he will naturally be able to know the true situation in my Liangzhou, which will be of great benefit to the reduction of troops." ”

"The real situation ......" Yang Biao thought about these four words repeatedly, and his mind became lively. Originally, his task was not to "assist in disarmament", but to monitor and restrain Ma. If you can learn about Xiliang's government affairs, of course, it will be greatly conducive to monitoring and restricting it.

While Yang Biao was thinking, Ma Chao secretly nodded slightly to Jia Xu.

Yang Biao raised his head, arched his hand to Ma Teng, and said, "Okay, then I'm going to disturb the history of the assassination." ”

Ma Teng said with a smile: "If Yang Gong is in charge of the Thorn Mansion, then I will rest assured." ”

Jia Xu said again: "But the ugly words are ahead, if the public handling of Gong Cao is not good, or corruption or dereliction of duty, then don't blame the assassin Shi for removing the public from his position, and even punish the public according to the law." Since Gong is a famous person in the world, be careful not to damage the reputation of Gong. ”

When Yang Biao heard this, he regretted a little in his heart that he had taken on the position of this worker Cao Peng, which was equivalent to handing over the power of punishing Zang Wei to Ma Teng. If something goes wrong with him, Ma Teng can justifiably discredit his reputation. The most important thing for a scholar is his reputation, and if his reputation is ruined, he will be ruined. A disgraced scholar is no different from a dead man. But the matter has come to this, and Yang Biao knows that he can't take half a step back.

Yang Biao stubbornly said: "Don't worry, you won't give your foot any chance to take advantage of." ”

"Then I'll rest assured." Jia Xu said with a smile, in fact, he was relieved that Yang Biao was afraid of his reputation, so he would not use Gong Cao Peng's authority to secretly make trouble for Liangzhou.

Ma Chao couldn't help but look at Jia Xu with admiration, the poisoner is worthy of being a poisoner, he accurately cuts into the psychology of others, and is good at using the method of punishing the heart to press people into obedience.

Ma Chao also breathed a sigh of relief, this time he finally took down Yang Biao, and the six Cao of Liangzhou Assassin's Mansion can finally operate normally, and he will be able to handle the government affairs of Liangzhou in the future.

Think about a small Liangzhou Thorn Mansion, there are Yang Biao, Yang Fu, Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Gai Xun, Ma Jun and other talents, under the governance of so many capable people and wise men, Ma Chao can't think of any reason why Liangzhou can't be recovered.
