4, unpredictable mind
"Bang--"
Ma Teng, whose temples were gray and older, was furious and picked up his cane and threw it hard at Ma Chao. Ma Chao, who was in front of the arrogant man, did not dodge this time, and was directly hit by the cane. His body shook, and blood immediately overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"You evil son, for the sake of a little woman, you are going to destroy the entire Ma family!"
Ma Teng was so angry that he smoked in his orifices and wanted to raise his cane to hit him again. Ma Dai and others were so scared that he quickly stopped him, not daring to let Ma Teng approach Ma Chao again in anger.
After Ma Dai ran to the Ma Mansion that day, Ma Teng and others thought that Ma Chao might go to He's mansion to rob He E. They were worried about sending people to Yan Mansion. The inner alley where He's mansion was located intercepted Ma Chao. However, they did not expect that Ma Chao had already taken the lead in getting into Yan Mansion and caused such a disaster on the day of the wedding.
"Sir, calm down. Now let's think about how to deal with the anger of the General's Mansion!"
Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others glanced at their brother, with complaints that this rebellious elder brother had ruined their Ma family this time.
Yan Su, the chief of Liufu, the old surnames of various families in Guanzhong, the officials of Cao, and other guests. These forces gathered together and would tear the Ma family apart.
"Sir, I can only tie up my elder brother first and go to the general's mansion to apologize!"
"Yes, yes, it's slower. It will be too late when the general's mansion sends out soldiers."
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were both anxious to make an idea for Ma, but Ma Teng, who had just beaten Ma Chao, was hesitant at this time. He said to himself:
"But if you send your brother to the general's mansion like this, he may never come back."
"Sir, if you want to break, you will break. The family is the most important thing!"
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie persuaded him in a moving manner.
If you can't avoid the great disaster this time, the Ma family may suffer a decline. You don't care about losing a person's life. Saving a car to protect the handsome guy used to be the style of your own father, but why did you become so hesitant after getting old?
"grown ups--"
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie are waiting for further advice, and a rush of footsteps have already heard from outside the hall.
"Not good, the Central Army's Captain Dianjun has already brought the armored soldiers into the mansion, saying that he had been ordered by General Cavalry and wanted to capture Meng Qi and bring him to justice."
Ma Yi ran into the hall in panic and said unscrupulously as he looked at the many Ma family members.
When everyone heard Dian Wei bringing the soldiers into the mansion, their hearts were in their throats, but when they heard that they just simply captured Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie quickly returned to normal.
"Sir, you are in a mess, so let the children make a decision first!"
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie saw Ma Teng’s loss of power and no longer had the patience to wait for his father. They all rushed to Ma Chao and said:
"Brother, I offended the lives of dozens of people in my family!"
After saying that, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie fought one after another, tied Ma Chao tightly with ropes, pushed Ma Chao, and was about to walk out of the hall and handed it over to Dian Wei, who had already led his troops into the mansion.
The old Ma Teng looked at Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie personally tied up his brother without any mercy. He couldn't help but burst into tears for a moment. He abandoned his cane and staggered to Ma Chao. He reached out and slapped him again, and a loud bang.
"Sir, you are going to harm the entire Ma family."
"Hahaha..." Ma Chao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst into laughter. He ignored his father, but was pushed by Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, two anxious brothers, and strode out of the hall.
"I would rather die like a person than be kept in captivity as a pig that shakes its head and tail!"
As soon as this said, Ma Teng's body was shaking, and tears burst out from his eyes again. As soon as today goes, I'm afraid the father and son will never meet again.
···
General's Mansion, inner room.
Yan Xing was wearing Yanju's clothes, sat behind the table, and carefully wiped the bow in his hand with a piece of cloth.
Yan Gui stood aside with some restraint, waiting quietly.
This time, Ma Chao caused a big disaster.
Yan Xiang's career, who was lost on his wedding day, had come to an end and his resignation was sent to the General's Mansion. The scholars valued fame and integrity, and could never stay in Chang'an City, and could only be sent to the county.
The lady of the He family was also resigned from the engagement, and the He family was even more infamous for being "broken of promises and untrustworthy" and "greedy for the powerful", and the family's reputation was ruined. It is said that after hearing about this incident, the head of the He family vomited blood and fell to the ground, unconscious.
The Ma family was also uncomfortable. Although Ma Chao had already been captured, Ma Teng still trembled with apology, and led a group of Ma family's nephews to see the Cavalry General Yan Xing. He was frightened and called for death.
Killing someone to kill his heart, Ma Chao's revenge is extremely cruel.
"Zhengdu, you have seen everything at the banquet, so what do you think?"
Yan Gui came here in person with Yan Xing's gift. When he heard Yan Xing's question, he immediately replied:
"It's really abominable that Ma Chao is acting violently and is rampant in front of others. Even if he has made a lot of achievements in the army, he should not be forgiven easily. He should be punished to serve as a warning to others!"
After hearing Yan Gui's words, Yan Xing stopped by wiping his arched back, looked at Yan Gui, who was sensible, smiled coldly, and said:
"Is this your thought? Or is it what the senior and seniors are saying?"
this--
Yan Gui felt nervous when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said in panic:
"The rules are dull by nature and do not understand the profound meaning. Please make it clear!"
Before this, the Chief Shi Yan Su once vaguely revealed to Yan Gui, Fu Gan, You Chu and others that Yongliang had a strong army and was strong in his power. The arrogant spirit of the arrogant generals in the army was growing. In Chang'an City, soldiers riding horses and hurting people, fighting and looting happened.
At present, the General's Mansion is about to use Ma Chao's iron case to shock people and restrain the soldiers in the army, so the criminal Ma Chao can only be severely punished and will never be ruthless.
But now it seems that this is not what General Cavalry wants.
Yan Gui complained secretly, and Yan Xing had not spoken for a long time. He could only rack his brains to think in his heart. Suddenly he thought of something and added anxiously:
"I heard that Ma Chao had gone to He's mansion to propose marriage first, and was humiliated by the He family. He regarded him as a rude martial artist. Later, he broke the promise to marry Yan's mansion. This made Ma Chao furious and make a big fuss about Yan's mansion. It seems that the inside story is complicated and it is not appropriate to be private. If you decide based on the family's words, you may have to submit it to the department for trial to make it clear and fair."
Yan Xing's face eased, but he still shook his head.
The children of the Yan family are all middle-aged and are embarrassed to have great responsibilities.
At present, Ma Chao's case has involved the nerves of everyone under his command, and it has been mixed with conflicts and disputes between the old surnames of Guanzhong, the Wuzong of Liangdi, and the new and old civil and military officials. If he does not intervene, he will cut the mess quickly and rely on judicial decisions alone, and he will not know when it will end.
With the rapid expansion of their own power, the power under their command became more and more complex. The new and old generals in the army, the Sanhe gentry, the old surname of Guanzhong, the Wuzong of Yongliang, and the poor scholars, they were loyal to themselves, served and served, and at the same time they would have disorderly internal struggles over each other's interests.
Given Yan Xing's background and his disadvantages in comparing Yuan, Cao's family, four generations and three ministers, or supporting the emperor, the advantages that Yan Xing could rely on in the confrontation between the three families were the natural dangers of the natural disasters of Wuhan and a fierce and war-hardened horseman.
This destined that the soldiers in the army had outstanding identities, including the order of charity, family order, marriage order, preferential and preferential order, were all dominated by the soldiers in the army. Most of the soldiers who were appointed as generals were the first group of Liangdi warriors who followed Yan Xing. They were the most powerful force supporting Yan Xing and a group that made huge profits.
But it is impossible to expect these arrogant soldiers to abide by etiquette and law like scholars. The gap between civil and military affairs, the severity of the law and military law, and the major disputes between the two often appear in front of Yan Xing's case.
In addition, if the status and power are prominent, Yan Xing will be led by the old men and Hedong gentry in the army, followed by poor scholars and famous scholars in Sanhe, and finally the newcomers in the army, the old surname of Guanzhong and the Wuzong of Yongliang. However, the chain of contempt in private is very different. The old surname of Guanzhong is as respected, and the status of poor families and Wuzong of the poor are the lowest.
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that the old surnames in Guanzhong look down on poor families, such as the He clan of Pingling. They would rather be low-key and marry into high-ranking families and take the route of Duling Yan clan than look at the Ma family between Wuzong and surrendered generals.
Although the contradictions are unexpected and involve only individuals, the entanglements are accumulated by everyone in the past.
So countless people were watching Ma Chao's case, waiting for General Cavalry to interfere, and see how Yan Xing would deal with it.
According to Yan Su's idea, when Yan Xing was rooted in Hedong, he wanted to marry the Wenxi Pei family and value the scholars of Hedong. Then they are now based in Chang'an and based on Guanzhong, they should win over and appease the old Guanzhong surnames, and use this iron case to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, suppress the arrogance of the arrogant soldiers and generals in the army, and maintain the balance between civil and military.
But what Yan Xing was preparing to do now seemed to be different from what Yan Su thought.
The Bafu will arrange for Yan Xiang to be the county magistrate, and the He family will send people to comfort him. As for Ma Chao, he will be beaten fifty, stripped of all military titles and titles, and punished him for hard labor in the army. The rest of the Ma family will be pardoned without guilt.
In this way, General Cavalry still insists on defending the lieutenant general and does not agree with Yan Shu's practice of killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
Yan Gui, who bowed down, thought silently in his heart.
But the next moment, Yan Xing once again subverted Yan Gui's idea.
"The order to be sent to the Western Cao to transfer Yang Pei from Luoyang to Chang'an and serve as the Chang'an Order!"
Yang Pei's personal soldiers took down the punishment of the general of the cavalry. It has been word-of-mouthed and spread to Sanhe and Guanxi. People at that time were compared with Zhidu and Yi Zong. Such a cruel official entered Chang'an to replace Sima Lang as the Chang'an Order. Not to mention that the children of the former surname of Guanzhong were frightened, even the powerful soldiers in the army would be shocked.
The thoughts of this cavalry general are really hard to guess.
