Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 417 The Buried Talent Cheng Gongying (Second Change)

The next day, in the royal palace of Yecheng, under the steps outside the Chaotian Hall, hundreds of Yan Wenwu were waiting for the court meeting to start. They chatted enthusiastically in groups, Li Ru, Tian Feng, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Han Yan and others are all in sight.

However, if you look carefully, you will find that not far to the left of this group of people, there are two men who are not wearing Dayan's official uniform, and no one pays attention to them, as if they have not seen them.

One of the two was dressed in a black dress, with a thin face and a short beard, and his face was calm, while the other was a burly figure with particularly thick arms, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

"Master Cheng, is that one of the legendary Great Yan Shangshu Ling Han Yan?" The burly man suddenly asked curiously towards a majestic man surrounded by many officials.

The two were really Ma Teng and Cheng Gongying, the director of Liangzhou sent by Han Sui to discuss a marriage, and Ma Dai, Ma Chao's cousin, Ma Teng's nephew.

"That's right, he is Han Zipei, who is in charge of Dayan's finances, taxation, transfer of officials, and other internal affairs. His status is comparable to the existence of the two prime ministers." Cheng Gongying's eyes showed a hint of admiration and longing.

"Then, that one, isn't it Tian Feng who has the gold medal for avoiding death?" Ma Dai asked expectantly again.

"Really, this person who served two generations of Yuan's family, helped Yuan Shao Beiping the North, and helped Yuan Xi build the Great Yan, can be called the pillar of the sky." Cheng Gongying sighed, Tian Feng's status is not obtained through hard work, envy is also Useless.

"I used to hear people say that Dayan is very strong. I only found out this time when I came here. It's true. When you look at the court meeting, there are more than 100 officials participating. Even if I add up all the high-level officials in Liangzhou, Not even half!" Ma Dai exclaimed.

Cheng Ying smiled wryly, and said, "Bo Zhan, apart from this, have you found nothing else along the way?"

"Others" Ma Dai was puzzled.

"Hey!" Seeing this scene, Cheng Gongying sighed slightly, and said: "We have passed many cities along the way, or as long as we enter Bingzhou from Liangzhou, it seems like the difference between heaven and earth, Dayan Encouraging industry and commerce, prospering the economy, cracking down on corruption, making the people happy and prosperous. When passing by Taiyuan, I was almost shocked. It seemed that every family was having a wedding, and every woman was holding a baby. What, this represents a rapid increase in population. After 20 years at most, the population of Dayan may recover before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This is really amazing. I asked a local official. The population of a county in Liangzhou is on the rise, which represents the future national strength and people power of Dayan, how strong it will be."

Ma Dai immediately took a deep breath, and said anxiously: "Master, in fact, we in Liangzhou can also learn from it."

"I can't study," Cheng Gongying shook his head and said.

"Why?" Ma Dai was puzzled.

"The first king of Yan was unified and established, completely separated from the Han Dynasty, and became a whole of his own. However, in Liangzhou, we still have to obey Changyi in many aspects. This is a restriction; Exterminate the two clans, regain the entire grassland, and have millions of soldiers under their command. The people in the north are full of pride, and they already call themselves Yan people, not Han people, but my people in Liangzhou don’t have this at all. The sense of belonging, the flow is too large, this is the limit; third, my Liangzhou was originally a barren land with a sparse population, and it is not comparable to the vast land and resources of the four northern states, this is the limit; fourth: Yan Wang Yuanxi IV Sangong was born with a very noble status. Coupled with the continuous victories, he has the ability, prestige, and capital to suppress all existences who dare to oppose the New Deal. That's why the Shihan University Examination was held, and Liangzhou really still needs the big gentry now. This is a human limit, and with these four restrictions, it is impossible for me in Liangzhou to catch up with Dayan," Cheng Gongying sighed.

"So serious" Ma Dai was surprised.

Cheng Gongying nodded slightly. The gap between Liangzhou and Dayan was too great. He even felt that the reason why Yuan Xi didn't send troops now was not because he was afraid of the alliance between Liangzhou and Cao Cao, but because he planned to stabilize the foundation and calm down in one fell swoop.

"Haha, Your Excellency is truly a great talent for having such insights." At this moment, a laugh of appreciation suddenly sounded from behind Cheng Gongying and Ma Dai.

The two were startled, and when they looked back, they saw an ordinary-looking official with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, but unconsciously sharp eyes appeared in front of him.

"My official Dali Temple Shaoqing Sima Yi," Sima Yi said politely.

After Cheng Gongying and Ma Dai hastily returned the gift, Cheng Gongying said modestly: "I'm just talking nonsense, I'll make adults laugh."

"No, no, Your Excellency's four-limited words penetrate the essence of the situation, which shows that you have a deep understanding of civil affairs and the current situation. I don't know what you should call it," Sima Yi asked curiously.

"My subordinate is Cheng Gongying, the master of Marquis Liang," Cheng Gongying clasped his fists.

"I see. Although Liang Hou is a hero, he is not worthy of Your Excellency's talent. If Your Excellency is willing, I am willing to introduce you to my Dayan, how about it?" Sima Yi laughed.

"What!" Ma Dai's expression froze, and he looked at Sima Yi with extremely unkind eyes. They didn't have many great talents in Liangzhou, and they still wanted to take them away.

"Master Sima is seriously serious. Although I said the four restrictions just now, as long as my master is wise, we can still defeat the strong with the weak. After all, although Liangzhou is poor, we still have 15 cavalry, so there is absolutely no problem in keeping our foundation." Cheng Gongying immediately expressed his position proudly.

"Haha, the world will be divided for a long time, and the world will be united for a long time. How can Liangzhou be spared? This is not a war, but the current situation." After Sima Yi said with a smile, he left directly.

Looking at the confident back, the proud Cheng Gongying showed a trace of helplessness on his face

"Arrogance? Let them see how powerful Big Brother is sooner or later," Ma Dai said angrily.

After Sima Yi left, he came directly to Tian Feng's side and whispered a few words.

"Oh!" Tian Feng was surprised a few times, glanced at Cheng Gongying, and said with a smile: "Such a talent, how can he be buried in Liangzhou, the truth will be told to the king."

"The left minister is wise," Sima Yi said with a smile.

At this time, a huge gong sounded suddenly, echoing in everyone's ears.

The court meeting officially started, and all the officials of Dayan immediately stood neatly, divided into four rows, stood proudly, and headed towards Chaotian Palace under the leadership of Tian Feng and Li Ru.

Seeing this scene, Ma Dai was a little eager and said, "When will my Liangzhou have such an momentum?"

"This kind of momentum can only be possessed by a real dynasty," Cheng Gongying sighed.

Not long after, solemn shouts came down one after another.

"Xuan, Marquis of Liang envoy Cheng Gongying, Ma Dai has an audience"

"Xuan, Marquis of Liang envoy Cheng Gongying, Ma Dai has an audience"

Hearing this, Cheng Gongying's expression froze, and he said seriously: "Bo Zhan, this time is not only about the survival of Liangzhou, but also about the future of the two marquises. After seeing King Yan, you must be respectful and polite. Impulsive things"

"Master, don't worry." Ma Dai nodded emphatically.

"it is good"

When the two arrived at the entrance of the magnificent hall along the steps, they immediately took off their boots, bent over and lowered their heads, stepped over all the civil and military officials to the hall, and saluted deeply:
"Liang Hou's master Cheng Gongying"

"Ma Dai, Anbei General under the Marquis of Qin"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Yan, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

"Hahaha, Master Cheng, General Ma doesn't need to be too courteous," the majestic voice sounded.

"Xie Yan Wang" Cheng Gongying still lowered his head after being grateful, but Ma Dai couldn't help it, and looked towards the high platform involuntarily. What does the undisputed king look like?
