Chapter two hundred and eighty second true meaning
Anyone who offends Jingzhou will be repaid tenfold!
Hearing Song Zhongzi's words, Ma Di and Xin Chang behind them flushed red and their eyes shone!
After the initial shock, everyone in the main hall looked gloomy and lowered their heads in silence. Warning, they all knew that this was a warning from Jingzhou. Liu Qi's meaning was already obvious. He has the final say on matters in Jingzhou, whether you agree or not.
It was the same. At this time, everyone couldn't help but look at Cao Cao. Cao Cao was undoubtedly the direct target of Liu Qi's warning.
Cao Cao also had a gloomy look on his face at this time. Liu Qi clearly did this because he saw that the decisive battle with Yuan Shao was imminent and could not spare the strength to deal with Jingzhou. This was simply taking advantage of the situation. Cao Cao was extremely angry. Could it be that the rise of Jingzhou was really unstoppable?
After defeating Yuan Shao this time, will he still face Liu Qi?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Cao Cao took a breath to calm down the resentment in his heart, looked at Song Zhongzi and said: "Liu Jingzhou can make the final decision on Jingzhou affairs. It is natural for Liu Qi and his son to inherit his father's legacy. The emperor's edict will be issued soon. From now on."
There is no need to discuss it again.”
Cao Cao made a final decision as soon as he spoke and directly agreed with Liu Biao's memorial. He didn't care at all about the emperor's opinion or whether everyone in the hall felt inappropriate.
Ma Di raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xie. Seeing that Liu Xie only had a gloomy face and did not speak out to object, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This emperor is really a coward. He has even lost the right to refute. Only the lord can redefine the world and return the favor."
The rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty."
"Father is right, the emperor is already a puppet, and he doesn't even have the slightest rights." Xin Chang on the side also sighed in his heart.
"Haha, Cao Sikong understands the righteousness, and I will thank you, Lord Zhou Mu." Song Zhongzi seemed not surprised by Cao Cao's words, and said with a smile.
"Submit Lord Zhou Mu's memorial to Cao Sikong." Song Zhongzi turned his head and looked at Xin Chang and said.
"No." Xin Chang bowed in response, holding the case in both hands, walked forward slowly, and handed one of the two bamboo slips to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao picked up the bamboo slips and looked at Xin Chang. He couldn't help but feel his love for talents. He raised his head and looked at Xin Chang who had returned behind Song Zhongzi and said, "Don't you know who these two young men are?"
"Haha, this is Xin Chang, the son of the famous scholar Xin Pi, and this is the disciple of Pang Degong of Jingzhou. I wonder what Cao Sikong has to say?" Song Zhongzi saw through Cao Cao's thoughts and smiled nonchalantly.
"Oh." Cao Cao couldn't help but look at the two of them again. Xin Chang was Xin Pi's son, and Xin Pi's daughter was Liu Qi's wife. Naturally, he would not recruit Xin Chang. At this time, Cao Cao surrendered his eyes to Ma Di, whose name was Pang Degong.
He was well-known in Xudu, and Cao Cao was also somewhat curious about Pang Degong and Sima Hui, who were as famous as Song Zhongzi.
"Ma Di has met Cao Sikong." Seeing Cao Cao looking at him, Ma Di was not afraid to take a step forward and said loudly.
"Ma Su?" Seeing Ma Su's outstanding performance, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Are you willing to be an official in Xudu?"
Cao Cao's words caused everyone in the hall to turn their attention to Ma Di. Even Liu Xie, who was impatient because he was ignored, looked at Ma Di curiously and wanted to know how Ma Di answered.
Guo Jia and others all shook their heads and smiled bitterly. The lord's fault had happened again. Cao Cao wanted to take over any talent he saw, and they had long been accustomed to it. However, they had pretty good senses about Ma Su, so they asked Cao Cao
, several people also looked at Ma Di.
"Can you promise me something?" Ma Su raised his head and looked at Cao Cao with a pair of eyes full of expectation.
"What is it? As long as I can do it, I promise you." Infected by Ma Di's cute appearance, Cao Cao said with some joy in his heart.
It seems that Jingzhou is not that good. Such an outstanding talent dares to let him go to Xudu. They say that Liu Qi is good at discovering talents. No such talent has been found, and Liu Qi is nothing more than that. Thinking of this, there is something in Cao Cao's eyes.
Feeling the pleasure of revenge, he took Ma Di under his command, which made Liu Qi regret it. Cao Cao immediately thought of a way to deal with Liu Qi.
Everyone in the main hall was amused by Ma Su's expression. In their opinion, Ma Su was a child after all. Even if he made a request, it was just a small request. How could he not be able to do it with Cao Cao's power?
Under the gaze of everyone, Ma Su turned around, picked up the bamboo slips held by Xin Chang with a solemn expression, held them respectfully in his hands, walked to Cao Cao step by step, and said loudly: "The eldest son fights against Jiangdong in the east, and conquers the barbarians in the south.
, His contribution is so great that everyone in Jingzhou admires him. Now, I, all the people in Jingzhou, have submitted a letter to the Emperor to confer the title of Marquis of Hanzhong on the eldest son. All the counties in Jingzhou are eagerly waiting for him."
"Well?"
Ma Di's sonorous voice echoed in the hall. The expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall were frozen, and they looked like they were smiling but not smiling. Compared to the previous two shocks, this time's shock was even more unparalleled.
"Crack!"
The historian, who had originally picked up a pen to record court affairs, stared blankly at Ma Di, who opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. The brush in his hand fell on the table with a bang.
"What did you say?" Cao Cao exhaled and looked at Ma Di with wide eyes, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"The eldest son has done great service in guarding Jingzhou and should be worshiped as the Marquis of Hanzhong!" Ma Di stood up and shouted again.
Hearing Ma Su say it again, everyone in the hall felt as if they were in a trance. Liu Qi actually wanted to be the Marquis of Hanzhong, and everyone was a little overwhelmed.
Guo Jia pinched his leg hard with his fingers. The pain in his leg told him that this was not a dream. Hanzhong Hou, when did Hanzhong Hou appear again.
That's a county. When did a marquis' fiefdom count as a county? Even an ordinary prince's fiefdom would not exceed one county. Liu Qi actually wanted to make Hanzhong County his fiefdom! Hanzhong County
Not ordinary
This county was the land of Longxing during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, and it was considered one of the richest counties in the world. Liu Qi actually asked the emperor to grant Hanzhong County to him. If he hadn't heard Ma Di confirming it loudly again, Guo Jia would have thought that he was
Got it wrong.
"This Liu Qi is so ambitious!" Xun You took a deep breath and looked at Ma Di with shock in his eyes. He asked Hanzhong County. Liu Qi's ambition was self-evident.
"Haha, Marquis of Hanzhong, good! Good! You are so brave. Do you know where Hanzhong is? Do you know how big a fiefdom of a marquis should be? Marquis of Hanzhong, you are treasonous and will punish the nine tribes!" Cao Cao was angry!
He laughed so hard that he stood up suddenly and looked at Ma Di with blazing eyes. If this was not a court, he would have eaten this man alive.
He originally wanted to recruit a talent and make Liu Qi lose face, but in the end, he was laughed at. The young man in front of him was digging a trap for him to jump. Cao Cao's breathing was rapid, and his eyes had turned cold.
, when had he ever suffered such a loss? A teenager in his teens dared to say such words, which really made him angry.
"Under the Guan Nei Marquis, there are Guan Zhong Marquis, Guan Wai Marquis, as well as County Marquis, Ting Marquis, and Township Marquis. In addition, there are Wan Hu Marquis and Qian Hu Marquis." Ma Su stepped forward and said loudly.
"Then do you know how many people there are in a county? Have you ever met the prince?" Cao Cao said coldly, narrowing his eyes.
"Huh, there is nothing in the past but there will be in the future. The eldest son has outstanding achievements, so why not be a prince? Didn't these marquises exist before? Didn't they only come into being later? Then why can't we set another example for the eldest son!
"Ma Su raised his head and looked at Cao Cao without fear and said coldly.
Cao Cao hesitated when he heard this. These marquises did not exist at the beginning, and even the Tinghou, County Marquis, etc. only started to have them in recent years to appease the generals. Ma Di is right, since he can help these generals under the baron
If these titles are established, then why can't another position be created for Liu Qi on this basis?
(During the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, five levels of nobility began to be established above the princes: Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Male. Under the Guan Nei Hou, there were Guanzhong Marquis and Guanwai Marquis. The princes were divided into County Marquis and Township Marquis.
Tinghou. In the Jin Dynasty, there were Kaiguojunhou, Kaiguoxianhou and Kaiguohou. Under Kaiguo Nan, there were also Xianghou, Tinghou, Guanneihou and Guanwaihou.)
But what really embarrassed Cao Cao was that Liu Qi was his enemy. The appearance of such a marquis in Liu Qi really made him unwilling. Moreover, the land of Hanzhong was a battleground for military strategists, so how could he give it to Liu Qi in vain?
"Hmph, if the attack is really huge, it is not impossible for him to be a marquis or a duke, let alone a prince. But now Liu Qi has just made some achievements, how can he be qualified to be crowned a prince or prince?" Cao Cao snorted coldly.
vocal tract.
Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Son, Male! Liu Biao was granted the title of Marquis of Chengwu. This Marquis of Chengwu was not comparable to the so-called marquises of Guan Nei. This title was only one level lower than that of a duke. Liu Qi was Liu Biao's
The eldest son was supposed to inherit the title, but Liu Qi chose to be a Marquis of Hanzhong instead of the superior. Liu Qi's intention could not be more obvious.
"The eldest son is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. His status is respected and he should have a title. If it weren't for the evil and treacherous people in the world who control the court, the eldest son would have been a marquis by now. How would he care about this little prince?"
Ma Su still sneered reluctantly.
Although Ma Di didn't show it on his face, he was very excited in his heart. Not to mention being a prince, even a small prince of pavilion was his dream!
"You..." Cao Cao pointed at Ma Di and was speechless. He naturally understood that the treacherous person in Ma Di's mouth was referring to himself. Although there are many people with such income in the world, there are still few who dare to say it in front of him.
There is only one Ma Su
, if he hadn't been concerned about this person's status in Jingzhou, I'm afraid Cao Cao would have had him dragged out and beheaded. After all, he could follow Song Zhongzi to the main hall, holding the talisman either as envoy or deputy envoy, and no one else had the talisman at all.
