Zhuge Liang was very efficient in his work. After he left the palace, he immediately, as prime minister, drafted an edict to rebuke Mi Yang for the emperor Liu Bei.

After writing the document, Zhuge Liang originally wanted to send his assistant Dong Yun to Nanzheng.

After all, most of the envoys sent by the imperial court to meet Mi Yang in the past were Dong Yun. Dong Yun was very familiar with the matter of sending envoys to Mi Yang.

But Zhuge Liang then thought about it, Mi Yang was now a shepherd, and Dong Yun was a close minister of the emperor in the palace.

As the two were sensitive to each other, they could not always send Dong Yun as envoy to Mi Yang.

After considering this, Zhuge Liang summoned Ma Su.

After Zhuge Liang's summons, Ma Di quickly came to him.

After Ma Su arrived, Zhuge Liang handed the document with the seal in his hand to Ma Su.

Zhuge Liang suddenly made such a move, which already made Ma Su a little puzzled.

What Zhuge Liang said next made Ma Su even more surprised.

"This is your majesty's edict of rebuke to Liangzhou Mu. You have just become minister and have not yet achieved any merit.

Now I plan to ask you to go and deliver this edict to Liangzhou Mu."

The first half of Zhuge Liang's sentence explains why there were so many ministers in the ministerial office, but he singled out Ma Su to complete this task.

This is Zhuge Liang paving the way for Ma Su's future.

Ma Su was very grateful for Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

The prime minister always valued him very highly.

But the second half of Zhuge Liang's words made Ma Su feel a little worried.

It is an honor to serve as the emperor's messenger and rebuke his subordinates on behalf of the emperor.

But this also depends on the identity of the minister being reprimanded.

General Zuo, Champion Marquis, Liang Zhou Mu, not to mention the deep background behind Mi Yang.

Just any one of his three identities is definitely something that Ma Di cannot afford to offend now.

Although Ma Su didn't know why Liu Bei suddenly issued an edict to reprimand Mi Yang, Ma Su, who had a smart personality, knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would probably become a big trouble.

Even though he was worried, Ma Di could not refuse Zhuge Liang's appointment.

What Zhuge Liang needs are subordinates who can share his worries, not close ministers who can shirk responsibility when things happen.

After realizing this, Ma Su, who weighed the interests in his heart, did not appear abnormal on the surface.

After taking the document from the clerk's hand, he respectfully bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "I will live up to the prime minister's high expectations."

Seeing that Ma Su was willing to take on this task, Zhuge Liang nodded lightly with satisfaction.

He specifically asked Ma Su to be the envoy to Liangzhou. On the one hand, he wanted Ma Su to go out for training, and he also had an idea in mind.

Among the current young heroes of the Han Dynasty, Mi Yang is the first.

When Zhuge Liang recruits disciples, he naturally wants to recruit the best.

In addition to Mi Yang, Ma Su and Guan Xing are also rising stars that he deeply values.

It was a pity that Guan Xing was sick and feared that he would never live forever, so he used to attach great importance to Ma Su.

Regarding Ma Di and Mi Yang, Zhuge Liang's personal feelings are now more biased towards Mi Yang.

It's just that in Zhuge Liang's view, Ma Su and Mi Yang were both young heroes of the Han Dynasty, and after a few years they would eventually serve together to annihilate the Han Dynasty.

In this case, it is better to take this opportunity to let Ma Su and Mi Yang get in touch in advance.

Anyway, the edict he asked Ma Su to send to Liangzhou was nominally Liu Bei reprimanding Mi Yang.

In fact, it is better to say that it is a kind of praise from Liu Bei to Mi Yang, which can also invisibly draw in the relationship between Ma Su and Mi Yang.

Zhuge Liang had a good idea, but he overlooked one thing, that is, Ma Di still doesn't know the specific content of the document.

So he feels anxious now.

Of course, it cannot be said that this was Zhuge Liang's suddenness.

But he never imagined that Ma Su, who had been "wholeheartedly serving the public" in the past, would have doubts about shrinking back before arriving in Liangzhou.

After accepting the task assigned to him by Zhuge Liang, Ma Di slowly exited the hall.

After exiting the hall, Ma Su looked at the horizon as the sun set, and he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

I just hope that Mi Mu is as good as His Majesty as rumored.

...

On the next day, under Zhuge Liang's arrangement, many messengers went to various places in Yizhou carrying the emperor's notice rebuking Liangzhou Mu.

It was Ma Su who set off with them, who was full of worries.

According to etiquette, even though Ma Su was the emperor's messenger, he could not open the edict in advance and read it without permission before arriving at the destination.

After arriving at the destination, Mi Yang will check the wax seal.

So when the night passed, the doubts in Ma Su's heart not only did not diminish, but became more serious anyway.

However, no matter how deep the doubts in his heart were, Ma Di knew that after he accepted the mission, the only way he could take was to go north.

It was the spring and summer flood season, and with the help of convenient water transportation, the delegation of dozens of people headed by Ma Su quickly arrived outside Nanzheng City.

When Ma Su arrived outside Nanzheng City, he was frightened by what he saw.

I saw many dried human heads placed on the top of the city in Nanzheng.

Looking at the many heads with horrible death signs, Ma Di estimated in his mind that there were probably nearly a hundred heads hanging high!

Ma Di was born into a noble family, and his elder brothers had protected him from the wind and rain since he was a child. When he grew up, he was favored by Zhuge Liang and held various important positions.

He had never experienced fighting on the battlefield, and he had never seen such a terrifying sight.

Almost as soon as he saw this scene, Ma Su asked Fa Miao beside him in a surprised tone: "Why is this?"

The day before Ma Su arrived, Mi Yang in Nanzheng City learned the news in advance.

So he specially sent Fa Miao to greet Ma Di at the city gate today.

Seeing Ma Su pointing at the nearly a hundred high-hanging heads and asking questions in a surprised tone, Fa Miao didn't think there was anything fuss about it.

Unlike Ma Di, although Fa Miao also came from a famous family, he participated in the war with Fa Zheng.

Moreover, that war was an extremely fierce Battle of Hanzhong.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With such a past, Fa Miao's psychological quality is much better than Ma Su.

What's more, he personally imprisoned nearly a hundred rebels some time ago.

Fa Miao said in a nonchalant tone: "Not long ago, some military officers outside Nanzheng City were in turmoil because of corruption.

After the turmoil was put down by Uncle Mu, Uncle Mu enforced strict law and order and sentenced them all to abandoning the market.

Later, he ordered the heads of these criminal generals to be hung on the city wall as a warning."

When Fa Miao told the reason, although Ma Su's face showed a look of understanding, he still couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Su wanted to say something, but when he thought of his mission, he consciously swallowed what he wanted to say.

Fa Miao saw that Ma Su looked a little hesitant after his expression of surprise. He didn't know what the messenger was thinking for a while.

In Yizhou, because Zhuge Liang valued him, Ma Su's reputation was very wide.

Fa Miao had naturally heard of Ma Su's reputation before.

However, after getting to know him in detail today, Fa Miao felt that Ma Su, whom he had an excellent reputation in the past, was not such a perfect person.

It's just that Fa Miao didn't think much about this. Maybe Ma Su was acclimatized?

After Fa Miao received Ma Su, he immediately proposed to take Ma Su to see Mi Yang.

Ma Di, who had long wanted to complete the mission and return to Chengdu as soon as possible, would certainly not refuse Fa Miao's proposal.

So under the leadership of Fa Miao, Ma Su and his party quickly entered Nanzheng City.

After Ma Di entered Nancheng City, the scene inside the city quickly attracted his attention.

Nanzheng was the original seat of Hanzhong County and now Liangzhou, so it must be a big city based on its size.

Although a lot of the population of Hanzhong was moved away by Cao Cao before, after several years of recuperation and continuous migration of refugees from Yizhou, it is difficult to say about other counties in Hanzhong County. Nanzheng City has long been restored to a county of ten thousand households.

In today's world, the larger the city, the greater the population in the city, which means the city's economy is more prosperous.

But similarly, because there was no very scientific and coordinated management method in this world, the more prosperous the city, the more chaotic it would be inside.

Factors such as human congestion, illegal construction of houses, and unreasonable city divisions are all important causes of clutter.

Ma Di, who once served as Mianzhu and was the county magistrate of Chengdu, understands this best.

But when he entered Nanzheng City, he discovered that at least in Nanzheng City, although the place he looked at could not be called orderly, it was definitely not chaotic.

Pedestrians in the city and street vendors in the city are basically moving around in their respective areas peacefully.

Even as he went deeper into Nanzheng City, Ma Di found that many county soldiers were demolishing some high walls.
