After Ma Chao finished speaking, he found that the Manchu Dynasty was indeed interested in Qu Yuanli, but he only regarded it as a kit kat toy and felt that it was novel, and did not pay attention to it as a very important thing. Only Lu Zhi, Liu Yu and others, who really care about the people of the world, know that the Quyuan plough is very useful, so they show more interest, and look at the Quyuan plough model in Liu Hong's hand with very eager eyes.

Liu Hong was still interested, and after listening to Ma Chao's explanation, he nodded and said: "Ma Qing really has a heart, this plough is so exquisite, it must really save manpower and ox power, and ordered Situ and Si Nong to draw and manufacture, and ordered the states and counties to stab the history and Taishou to promote." ”

"Yes!"

Ma Chao was secretly happy in his heart, after Liu Hong's appearance, the Manchu Dynasty minister, who was originally focused on whether to send him to conquer the Montenegrin army, all his attention shifted to his tribute. And Wang Yun, who blatantly played the trick of the tiger from the mountain, seemed to have been forgotten and was embarrassed. Ma Chao stood beside Wang Yun, and with a slight sweep of his afterglow, he could see Wang Yun's cramped uneasiness that he couldn't hide even if he tried his best to hide it.

Suddenly, at this moment, Ma Chao heard a faint dry cough coming from near the opposite side. As soon as Ma Chao turned his head to look at the first class of military attachés, Wang Yun's voice sounded beside him: "Your Majesty! It is gratifying to receive the tribute of Guanglu Xun Ma Chao, but the threat of the Black Mountain Bandit is even more worrying. Besides, Guangluxun Ma Chao is so loyal, the minister thinks that if he is the general to crusade against the Black Mountain thieves, he will be able to succeed! ”

There was a dry cough from the first class of military attachés, and Wang Yun suddenly attacked again, without so many coincidences. Ma Chao immediately came back to his senses, it must have been He Jin secretly instructing Wang Yun.

Originally, Liu Hong was overjoyed, but as soon as he heard Wang Yun's words, his smile slowly faded. Liu Hong said in an obviously dissatisfied tone: "Ma Qing has just arrived in the capital and has only gone to the court for the first time, and Wang Qing wants to transfer him far away from the capital, is Wang Qing dissatisfied with Ma Qing?" ”

Ma Chao was very uplifted, and it felt really good to have someone to support him.

Wang Yun stubbornly resisted the great pressure exerted by Liu Hong, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong! Your Majesty's love for talents is understandable, but Your Majesty, as the king of a country and the co-ruler of the world, should pay more attention to the community and the people. Guangluxun Ma Chao is a rare talent, but the safety of the people in Bingzhou is more important! ”

Liu Hongbo said angrily: "Wang Qing's words are teaching me how to be a king? ”

Wang Yun hurriedly knelt down and said in fear, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Ma Chao saw that Liu Hong had subdued Wang Yun, so he thought that this matter had been revealed. Who would have thought that two or three people would jump out of the first class of civil officials behind him, and persuade in unison: "Your Majesty! Please put the community first, send Ma Chao, and conquer the Black Mountain thieves! ”

Immediately afterwards, more people in the hall stood up and shouted in unison: "Please take Sheji as the priority, send Ma Chao to conquer the Black Mountain Thieves!" ”

In the face of so many people, Liu Hong was silent. Ma Chao turned around and looked carefully at the people who seconded the proposal, those ministers who openly opposed him, when they saw Ma Chao looking at them coldly, some of them were so frightened that they subconsciously lowered their heads; Some of them were more daring, resisted their timidity, and only looked away slightly.

Ma Chao looked around the entire court that fell into dead silence again, and Liu Hong looked at him with a little embarrassment; Lu Zhi, Liu Yu and others looked anxious, but they didn't dare to look at him, for fear of being exposed; He Jin was unmoved, but Zheng Tai looked at him with a smile; The rest of the ministers were not concerned with themselves, hanging high, pretending not to see anything; The man who had been watching him before was looking at him straight now, as if expecting it.

At this time, Ma Chao understood that Liu Hong would not risk falling out with most ministers for him, and at the same time, Liu Hong also wanted to see how he responded; In order to fulfill the previous oath, Lu Zhi and the others would not easily intercede for him, because then others would likely suspect that they had a relationship with him; The rest of the people are either He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants who have a grudge against him, or some people who eat melons, and they will not stand up for him. This time, he could only fight alone, fighting with He Jin and the party alone.

After quickly making up his mind, Ma Chao bowed slightly to Liu Hong and said loudly: "Your Majesty, regarding the conquest of the Black Mountain Thieves, the minister has something to say!" ”

only mentioned the conquest of the Black Mountain Thieves, not his own conquest of the Black Mountain Thieves, Liu Hong immediately understood, it seems that Ma Chao is going to fight back. Liu Hong said: "Qing is my master, the suggestions made must be desirable, and they can be used as speedy roads!" ”

He Jin couldn't help but turn his face sideways and glanced at Ma Chao. Ma Chao knew that at this time, I was afraid that no matter how calm He Jin was, he couldn't help but see how he fought back. Ma Chao decided to bring some surprises to He Jin.

Ma Chao said loudly: "Wang Zhonglang's proposal that the Black Mountain thieves must be requisitioned, and the minister strongly agrees. However, in the two years of war, he only led the cavalry to defeat the strong enemy, and only fought in the vast flat land, and never fought in the steep mountains. The vast majority of the Xiliang soldiers of the ministers were iron cavalry, which was not suitable for fighting in the mountains at all. Although the Xiliang Iron Rider is strong. But if you fight the enemy in the mountains such as Taihang Mountain, it will be counterproductive. ”

Wang Yun heard Ma Chao's words, hurriedly got up from the ground, and was about to refute, but Ma Chao didn't give him a chance to interject, and said quickly: "Therefore, I'm afraid that the minister can't enjoy this honor." On the contrary, the minister thought that Wang Zhonglang was the best candidate to conquer the Black Mountain thieves! ”

Wang Yun didn't expect Ma Chao to rebel against the army, so he was stunned, and subconsciously whispered: "Yes...... Is it? ”

Ma Chao turned around and faced Wang Yun, and said sincerely: "Yes, you are!" ”

Then ignoring the stunned expression on Wang Yun's face, Ma Chao turned his head and said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhonglang is a native of Bingzhou, and he knows everything about the Taihang Mountains and the Black Mountain bandits. Moreover, Wang Zhonglang is scheming and wise. If Wang Zhonglang is the general, go to conquer the Montenegrin thieves, the minister estimates that in less than January, Montenegro will be flat! ”

As soon as he heard this, those who seconded the proposal panicked, Wang Yun finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be ......."

Before Wang Yun finished speaking, Ma Chao quickly said: "Wang Zhonglang's words are not right, Gu Youlian is quite old and can still eat, Wang Zhonglang should learn from Lian Po's old and strong spirit, and strive to be Lian Po's second, so that he is worthy of the Han Dynasty, isn't it?" ”

Wang Yun couldn't think of a rebuttal, so he had to be dumbfounded and speechless.

Seeing this, those who seconded the proposal looked at each other even more, no one expected Ma Chao to be so good at speaking, and they couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, so they had to continue to stand in place in embarrassment.

Liu Hong also nodded and said, "What Ma Qing said is very reasonable......
