565. Chapter 565 Someone gave a gift

Chen Hao's suggestion attracted constant discussion in the court, making Li Yan unsure whether he should make this decision for a while. After all, forcing the implementation of the migration strategy at this time is not a wise move, so he decided to wait until the war is over before discussing. At that time, Chen Hao will naturally return to the court. He believes that Chen Hao must have a good solution.

This matter was not mentioned for the time being. However, the officials selected by Li Yan, who was sent to Nanzhao, were not some old ministers in the court, but Yu Gui, a new minister in recent years. Later, for Chen Muxue and Baiye, who were taken to the capital, Li Yan ordered the rebellion of Nanzhao to imprison him for life.

At this time, Chen Hao, who was far away in Nanzhao, did not take care of the capital. Instead, while rectifying the affairs of Nanzhao, he was also actively resting the army and preparing to send troops to Tubo. On this day, Chen Hao was discussing matters with the generals in the army, but a soldier came to report that it was the Qingping official (prime minister) Zheng Maisi who came to pay a visit.

When Chen Hao heard the three words Zheng Maisi, he felt quite familiar. As for where he had heard them, he couldn't remember them for a moment. However, since he came to visit him, he couldn't refuse and ignored him, so he ordered the generals to retreat first and leave Wu Yang alone by his side.

"How much do you know about Zheng Maisi?" Chen Hao picked up a volume of military books casually in the military tent, and then asked himself.

Wu Yang did not hesitate at all, and curled his lips and said coldly: "Zheng Maisi has always had ambitions. As far as I know, his ancestors were originally from Han people. His ancestor Zheng Hui was from Xiangzhou and was once the magistrate of Xilu County. Later, Confucianism was highly valued by the Nanzhao royal family, and later he served as an official of Qingping and was quite prestigious..."

"Oh? You kid actually knows it very well! Haha! Then his Zheng family is well-rooted in Nanzhao..." Chen Hao just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Wu Yang could even explain Zheng Maisi's ancestor clearly. This was beyond Chen Hao's expectations.

Wu Yang scratched his head, but smiled: "Brother, I know all this official in the Nanzhao Dynasty, although I don't say anything, I know a little bit. Otherwise, I'd be in vain for years in Nanzhao..."

While the two were chatting, a middle-aged man in purple official uniform was introduced into the large tent by a soldier. As soon as the middle-aged man entered the military tent, he bowed to Chen Hao with a smile on his face and said, "Secretary Zheng Maisi pays homage to Duke Anguo!"

Chen Hao did not respond, but looked up at the person. However, he saw that he had a good look in his life. From the outline of his face, he could tell that this person must have been a handsome man when he was young. However, the only thing that made Chen Hao feel dissatisfied was that this person's eyes were rolling around, and he could tell that he was a clever and changeable person at a glance!

"Oh? Are you Zheng Maisi?"

When Zheng Maisi saw Chen Hao's face was as deep as water, he could not see any joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. However, there was a little gloomy on his face, but he was instantly covered by a smile: "The lower official is Zheng Maisi, who once served as the Qingping official!"

"I wonder if Lord Zheng has lived in Nanzhao for a long time, can he know a man who calls Zheng Chang?" Chen Hao's eyes were staring at Zheng Maisi at this moment, his eyes were like a torch and he did not leave for a moment.

Zheng Maisi was quite stunned when he heard this, but then he saw that Chen Hao looked abnormal, so he did not dare to be negligent and smiled: "Report to Duke Anguo, the lower official is a Han Chinese, and the customs are all subject to the Han customs. Therefore, the lower official surname is Zheng, his name is Maisi, and his courtesy name is Chang!"

"You are Zheng Chang!" Hearing this, he was stunned, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

"How dare the subordinates lie in front of Duke Anguo!"

When Zheng Maisi saw Chen Hao know his name, he was immediately happy and thought that today's matter might be successful. So he couldn't wait to pull out a gold stamping post with the appearance of a memorial from his sleeve, then took a few steps respectfully and presented it to the commander's case, and then said flatteringly: "Duke Anguo, this is a little bit of care from the official. Please accept it with a smile!"

When Chen Hao saw Zheng Maisi's words and deeds, he knew that the post must be a gift list. Then he picked up the post and took a look, but this glance made him gasp. He raised his head to look at Zheng Maisi, thinking that Zheng Maisi is really rich and can match the country! The property in this list is almost worth half of the treasury in Nanzhao.

Seeing Chen Hao, who had always been as heavy as water, was finally moved by his gift list. Zheng Maisi couldn't help but feel happy, so he bowed and asked, "I wonder if Duke An Guo is satisfied?"

Chen Hao did not respond, but put the gift list back on the table, and then said in a deep voice: "What is Lord Zheng's intention? You might as well say it bluntly!"

Seeing Chen Hao so readily, Zheng Maisi praised: "I, Nanzhao, were bewitched by the wolfish ambition, and I didn't know that the world was full of heaven and earth angered Tianyan. This is the fault of the royal family, not the fault of the ministers! Now that today the soldiers swept the rebellion and were able to clear the world, it is actually the blessing of the people and the country..."

"Are you going to finish it? Just say something and say nothing and say something! Why do you have so much nonsense?" Before Zheng Maisi finished speaking, Wu Yang on the side could no longer listen, so he directly spoke to stop Zheng Maisi's long speech.

Forehead……

Zheng Maisi was just talking about the rise, but was suddenly interrupted by Wu Yang's words, which immediately made him very embarrassed. At this time, Chen Hao was also a little impatient: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it!"

"Uh! Haha! Duke An Guo is really a generous person..." Zheng Maisi smiled awkwardly, then continued: "The so-called country cannot be without a master for a day. Now Nanzhao has no successor. I wonder if Duke An Guo has the appropriate candidate to take charge of Nanzhao affairs?"

"Do you want me to recommend you to sit on the throne of King Nanzhao?"

When Zheng Maisi saw Chen Hao smile, he became much more courageous and his back became more straight: "Duke An Guo really had a wise eye. If Duke An Guo recommends his subordinates to govern Nanzhao, he will never let down your grace of cultivation and promotion. If you have any questions in the future, the subordinates will definitely follow the leader of An Guo's stallion!"

While Zheng Maisi was speaking in a blunt manner, he raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Hao in front of him, hoping to see some clues from Chen Hao's expression. But unfortunately, until his words of loyalty were finished, Chen Hao's expression did not change at all. This made Zheng Maisi's heart sank, thinking that Chen Hao's so scheming was really not reflected in his joys and anger.

Chen Hao did not respond immediately, but instead tapped the tabletop in an orderly manner with the joints of the index finger. The tent was very quiet, and even the breathing could be heard. But the more unknown quiet the more Zheng Maisi was a little nervous.

After a while, the crisp knocking sound finally stopped. At this time, Chen Hao looked up at Zheng Maisi, and then said lightly: "What Lord Zheng said is not unreasonable. Nanzhao is finally required to be governed by someone. Lord Zheng has lived here for a long time and is in a high position as a Qingping official. It is reasonable for Lord Zheng to take charge of Nanzhao..."

Plop!
