Chapter 428 Another reason
When I was young, Jia Xu, Fazheng, Yang Fu, Zhang Ji, Li Ru, Man Chong, and Bu Zhi came together.After saluting to Ma Chao, they were divided into two seats.

These seven people, apart from Meng Da, who is in charge of the household department, and Han Feng, the chief executive of the Ma family, are already the core members of the Ma family's Wenzhi group, and they are all involved in the imperial examination and the rescue of Cai Yong: Zhengnai is a member of Zhongshu Province, responsible for all staff and admonitions; Yang Fu's subordinates are responsible for reviewing plans and strategies, so naturally he is also duty-bound; He is also well versed in the situation in Chang'an; as for Man Chong and Bu Zhi, they barely have much to do with this matter, but Ma Chao hopes to continue to consider them.

After repeating the news of Diao Chan's investigation to everyone, Ma Chao said: "Nowadays, Kong Rong and Zheng Xuan, famous scholars among scholars, live in Beihai, thousands of miles away from Fufeng, so they have no relationship with the Ma family; Li Ying, Chen Fan, Lu Zhi, Chen Shi and others have long since died; only Xu Shao and Xu Zi will have a "Yue Dan Ping" famous in the world, but they live in Chenliu, and the Ma family also sees each other to no avail. Only Cai Yong lives in Chang'an, and is in danger , if a certain class saves this person and makes him the chief examiner of the imperial examination, then the matter of the imperial examination will not only be as unknown as the Ma family's selection of scholars."

"What the lord said is very true. You don't need Cai Yong to submit to the Ma family, you just need to rely on his reputation. As for the rumors from the outside world, hehe..." Fazheng smiled extremely relaxed, and even had a trace of complacency: "The Ma family The propaganda team of the Ministry of Rites seems to have some new themes to promote."

This guy Fazheng is young and energetic, and he seems to have an inscrutable attitude in front of outsiders, and he subdues his subordinates.But in front of Ma Chao, he spoke so straightforwardly.

"My lord, I don't know about my lowly position. Could it be that Wang Yun insisted on killing Cai Yong just because of a letter?" Man Chong said at this time. After he pondered for a while, he still found it incredible: "You know, our Ma family I can see the value of Cai Yong, but Wang Yun is not a man without schemes. Killing a minister like this, especially a minister who is famous all over the world, isn't it an act of self-destruction of the Great Wall?"

When everyone heard this, Jia Xu and Fazheng's faces remained unchanged; Zhang Ji, Bu Zhi, and Yang Fu frowned and thought deeply; while Ma Chao and Li Ru looked at each other and smiled thoughtfully. .

Afterwards, under Ma Chao's gaze, Li Rucai said, "Bo Ning didn't know that Wang Yun wanted to kill Cai Yong because Man Chong was a famous scholar in the world. Because Cai Yong was a scholar, but he was foolish and loyal. The Liu family of the Han Dynasty had always been at odds with Wang Yun. Now he is slandering Cai Yong for collusion with the Ma family, just to make excuses for political games."

"That's right, in front of Weiyang Palace that day, His Majesty asked Shi Sun Rui to go out of the Beiye Gate to read out the imperial decree, which resulted in the killing of Wang Yun's first deputy. Now that Wang Yun has taken control of the government, it is natural to cut off dissidents." Ma Chao I added it so that these people can hear the fierce and cruel struggle between imperial power and scholar power from the news that Liu Xie and Wang Yun killed each other's subordinates.

"If that's the case, my lord need not worry too much. From the point of view of my humble position, I just need to let the reorganized Ma family army go to Qinguan and display them outside Chang'an City. They throw stones and crossbows every day to show off their might. As long as Wang Yun is not an idiot If we do, we will naturally hand over everyone Cai and send them to Fufeng." Li Ru, as the Minister of War, also knew Wang Yun's character well, and Ma Chao's plan was exactly in line with Ma Chao's wishes.

In Ma Chao's view, this guy Wang Yun is just a little bit of a villain.He thought that after driving Ma Chao out of Chang'an, he had defeated Ma Chao.His head was full of grandiose thoughts about how to order the Ma family and the annexed Yongzhou, and he didn't know that Ma Chao deliberately didn't attack Chang'an at the beginning.

Li Ru's plan was actually to let the Ma family show off its fangs, so that the old fox Wang Yun, whose tail was already up to the sky, could see how powerful the Ma family was.After all, a fox might provoke a dog, but he would never dare provoke a lion.

"My lord, it's winter now. If we really want to attack Chang'an, I'm afraid it's not the right time, but if it's just an act of bravado, it doesn't matter much." Yang Fu said, then smiled meaningfully, and continued: "But winter is an extremely difficult season for the Qiang people, and it is also a regular season for nomads to attack the Han..."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Ma's [-] elite soldiers plus all kinds of siege equipment from the arsenal, and the Qiang people's aggressive attitude, might scare the scholar-bureaucrats in Chang'an to pee their pants?And that old guy Wang Yun, after seeing Ma Chao's force, will there be a huge drop from the top of the cloud to the bottom of the valley, which will have a psychological shadow on the Ma family?
At this point in the discussion, Ma Chao felt that Cai Yong was lucky enough to get so much attention in his lifetime.As a result, when he was about to announce that he was preparing in this way, Jia Xu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke at this moment.

"My lord, there is actually another point, which is also the reason why Wang Yun had to kill Cai Yong." Jia Xu, the old fox, smiled, and said two more words simply: "Hanshu"

Ma Chao was a little confused at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood Jia Xu's meaning: Cai Yong took on the important task of continuing to write the history of Han Dynasty.It is conceivable that if Cai Yong wrote the book, what would Wang Yun look like in a thousand years?Cai Yong is an upright gentleman, and he will definitely not whitewash Dong Zhuo and belittle Wang Yun, but the problem is, Wang Yun is not a gentleman...

Wang Yun himself is an intellectual, but also an out-and-out villain.At the beginning, because of Dong Zhuo's existence, Wang Yun had a serious psychological distortion.Facing the powerful and brutal Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun had no choice but to flatter himself and make himself look like a grandson every day.While pretending to be a grandson, he was always ready to stab a knife. This extremely forbearing behavior made Wang Yun very contradictory, and he regarded his flattering and flattering villainy towards Dong Zhuo as the biggest stain in his life as an intellectual. .

Now that Wang Yun has killed Dong Zhuo, he naturally wants to do everything possible to erase this stain and erect his glorious and stalwart image in the history books.However, the person who continued to write the history of the Han Dynasty happened to be Cai Yong who was at odds with him. Then, in the eyes of Cai Yong, who had a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, how would he view this stain in Wang Yun's life?How will Wang Yun's shameless attitude of a villain be recorded in the history books?

If Wang Yun wants to build a grand archway, he must not leave Cai Yong who knows the ins and outs.Therefore, Wang Yun said that Cai Yong is a courtier and cannot be allowed to write a slander, but in fact he does not want Cai Yong to record the biggest stain in Wang Yun's life and laugh at him through the ages.Therefore, when Wang Yun came to power, Cai Yong must die.

But after thinking about this, Ma Chao was a little embarrassed again.Originally, in Ma Chao's view, Wang Yun's killing of Cai Yong was just the intensification of the struggle between imperial power and scholar power.As long as I give Wang Yun a loud ear and wake Wang Yun up, it will be over.But I don't want to, this factor is also mixed in.

But in this way, things are much more difficult: Ma Chao really knows that these sour Confucians in ancient times, in order to be famous in history, can do any crazy thing!Maybe, after this guy Wang Yun was pushed into a hurry, he would really have the idea of ​​killing Cai Yong first, and then fight with Tong Ma's family to the death and die together...

"No wonder, no wonder that black-bellied boy Liu Xie couldn't hold back against Wang Yun, so Wang Yun threw Cai Yong into death row..." At this time, Ma Chao thought of the little emperor again for some reason.Before, he wondered why Liu Xie didn't keep Cai Yong, but now it seems that this matter is really a headache...

However, Ma Chao took a leisurely glance at Jia Xu, with a wicked smile in his eyes: "Old fox, since you can see this, it seems that it won't bother you if you come up with a bad idea, right?"
