Chapter 153: The Benefits of Holding Righteousness

"It's God's destiny, the emperor has an edict!"

"Fufeng Ma Teng has been loyal for generations. His ancestor Fubo General Ma Yuan guarded the Western Regions and made great achievements. Then Ma Teng guarded Liangzhou and put down dozens of Hu rebellions. He fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and made many military exploits!"

"Later, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, Li Jue took power, and Ma Teng also launched an army to attack him!"

"I am deeply moved by Ma Teng when I come to the court to pay homage. Previously, I was unable to personally govern, so I could not reward him. Now that I am personally in charge, I should reward him."

"Now Ma Teng is promoted to the general of the Western Conquest, and is granted the title of Marquis of Fufeng. He is given an ax and ax and the power to open a mansion."

"General Han Sui, for his meritorious service in guarding Liangzhou, was promoted to General of the Northern Army, and was granted the title of Marquis of Jincheng. He was given an ax and ax and the right to open a mansion."

A chamberlain stood on the high platform in front of Liu Xie, unfolded the imperial edict and read it loudly.

"My lord, Ma Teng kneels down to thank Your Majesty for your grace! I would like to guard Liangzhou forever!" After Ma Teng finished reciting the imperial edict, he thanked Liu Xie for his kindness.

"I love you." Liu Xie was very satisfied with Ma Teng's attitude.

Ma Teng stood up and then retreated to the row of generals.

As soon as Ma Teng stepped back, Zhong Yao stood up.

"Your Majesty! When my Han Heavenly Army recaptured Yongzhou, I was attacked by the Huns. I thought that I, the Han Dynasty, should teach the Huns a lesson!" Zhong Yao said with a righteous look.

"Your Majesty, I am a great Han. Anyone who offends me since Emperor Wu will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

"This Xiongnu has been favored by the emperor in this life, but he has no intention of repaying it. Instead, he took advantage of our Han Dynasty to deal with the princes from all over the country and raised troops to attack our Han Dynasty. I also thought that the Huns should be exterminated!" Zhang Yang waited until Zhong Yao finished speaking and followed.

stood up.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!" Another minister stood up to support.

Then, the entire court was filled with voices wanting to attack the Huns.

Liu Xie glanced at everyone present, and then looked at Ma Teng.

"Ai Qing has lived in Liangzhou for a long time and is relatively close to the Hu people. What do you think of Ai Qing?" Liu Xie looked at Ma Teng and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not important whether to attack the Xiongnu or not. What is important is how large a scale your Majesty wants to attack." After hearing Liu Xie's words, Ma Teng immediately came out and said.

"What do you mean by Aiqing's words?" When Liu Xie saw Ma Teng's answer, a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, Liu Xie had discussed this matter with the court officials long before Ma Teng came.

The conclusion reached was to let the princes from all over the country send troops to fight a big war with Xianbei in the north.

In this way, the power in the hands of princes everywhere can be consumed and preparations will be made to clean up the world in the future.

It can also eliminate the threat from the north, so that the various foreign races in the north will no longer dare to interfere in the internal affairs of the tub.

The third aspect is that the Han Dynasty court can take advantage of the time when the princes from various places are fighting with the foreign tribes in the north to recuperate and develop national strength.

It can be said that killing three birds with one stone.

However, this kind of matter cannot be brought up by Liu Xie or other courtiers. It can only be left to the princes of a certain place to speak out on their own.

So who should this prince be?

There was no choice at all. Before Ma Teng came, or before Ma Teng truly surrendered to Liu Xie, the candidate should have been Zhang Yang.

But after Ma Teng took over, the candidate became Ma Teng.

Why? The main reason is that Zhang Yang loves the imperial court and is Liu Xie's man.

This feels a bit like taking off your pants and farting, and the princes from all over the country will also be a little disgusted or go against it.

But Ma Teng was different. He was a real prince, not Zhang Yang's kind of prince who relied on the court.

Of course, this is only superficial. In fact, Zhang Yang and Ma Teng are the same kind of people.

Ma Teng proposed asking all the princes to send troops, but no one could say anything.

Although there is a possibility that some princes may not work hard, but the overall situation is definitely better than what Liu Xie said.

Therefore, today's court meeting is just for show to other princes.

"Your Majesty, the Huns of today are no longer the Huns of Emperor Wu's time."

"Emperor Wu's Northern Expedition has wiped out the arrogance of the Huns. Now the Huns can only crawl under the power of my Han Dynasty and Xianbei."

"This time the Xiongnu entered the country, I thought there must be Xianbei's instigation behind it. Moreover, if Your Majesty wants to attack the Xiongnu, Xianbei will most likely join the Xiongnu to resist our imperial army."

"Therefore, I believe that your Majesty's attack on the Xiongnu at this time will most certainly lead to a battle for the fate of the country. In this way, the imperial court alone cannot defeat Xianbei."

"Therefore, I believe that Your Majesty should send an order to all the prefectures and counties to send troops! Let us gather all the strength of our great Han people to attack Xianbei together!"

"As long as Xianbei is defeated, the Huns can be defeated by a single state." Ma Teng's face was full of justice, and he directly dragged all the princes in the world into trouble.

"I am very pleased with what I love you to say, but it is difficult to summon all the states and counties in the world to attack Xianbei together. You should know that my big man...hey!" Liu Xie sat on a high position,

The sheep suit sighed.

"Your Majesty thinks so, which is ridiculous! This world belongs to the Han Dynasty after all! If anyone is dissatisfied and refuses to obey the decree, Your Majesty can summon the whole world to fight against him!" Ma Teng said proudly.

When Liu Xie heard what Ma Teng said, he couldn't help but give him a secret thumbs up.

"Your Majesty, I think that Marquis Fufeng's words are reasonable, but the will of the world is all for profit. When Your Majesty summons all the prefectures and counties to raise troops to attack Xianbei, he should also inform them that if anything is captured in this battle, they can be owned by them.

"

"In this case, I think the various states and counties will not refuse."

"In addition, Your Majesty can follow Emperor Wu's example and make an agreement with the governors and prefects of various places. The one who has the most merit in this battle can be made a marquis!" Jia Xu jumped in and added after Ma Teng finished.

Jia Xu's trick was not to be innocuous. He first agreed that the captured property should be returned to various places, and then he offered the title of marquis to the person who ranked first in military merit.

So the question is, who will judge this first in military merit?

Let the princes from all over the country judge each other? Just kidding, if this is true, then the princes will definitely fight with each other, and it will be the kind that they can't pull apart.

Moreover, how fair would it be for the princes to evaluate each other? As long as these princes are not fools, they will rate themselves first. Will other people be convinced by such an evaluation?

Therefore, in the end, the power of selection will definitely fall into Liu Xie's hands.

At that time, Liu Xie will have the final say on who is number one?

Then let the horse stand up high and let him dedicate part of the victory to the court. Do you think the other princes are in a hurry?

Once they are anxious, they will compete. Today you give one-third of the spoils, and tomorrow I will give half.

But in the end, Liu Xie has the final say as to who is number one.

As for other people who did not get the Marquis, do you dare to ask the court to withdraw the spoils of war?

Therefore, in this battle against Xianbei, there is only one final winner, and that is Liu Xie.

So, Jia Xu’s plan is really poisonous, and it’s the kind of thing that you have to do even though you know it’s very poisonous.

If you dare to disobey the order, well, I'll just label you as someone who despises the emperor and has evil intentions.

And the princes around you will also be wary of you. Why? Because I am going to fight Xianbei. If you don't go, do you want to steal my house? Then I will kill you first.

This is the advantage of holding the righteousness of the world in hand, and you can put hats on others at will.
