Mi Han

Chapter 362
Zhuge Liang's work efficiency was extremely fast. After he left the palace, he immediately prepared an edict for the emperor Liu Bei to reprimand Mi Yang as the prime minister.

After writing the documents, Zhuge Liang originally wanted to send his servant Dong Yun to Nanzheng.

After all, most of the envoys sent by the imperial court to meet Mi Yang in the past were Dong Yun, and Dong Yun was very familiar with the matter of going to Mi Yang as an envoy.

It's just that Zhuge Liang thought about it again, now Mi Yang is a shepherd uncle, and Dong Yun is a close minister of the emperor in the palace.

Given that the two are sensitive to each other, Dong Yun cannot always be sent as an envoy to Mi Yang.

After considering this point, Zhuge Liang asked Ma Di to be summoned.

Under Zhuge Liang's summons, Ma Di soon came to him.

After Ma Di arrived, Zhuge Liang handed over the sealed document to Ma Di.

Ma Su was a little puzzled by Zhuge Liang's sudden move.

And what Zhuge Liang said next surprised Ma Su even more.

"This is His Majesty's reprimand to Liangzhou Mu. You have just become Minister, and you have not yet made any contribution.

Now I plan to let you go and deliver this edict to Liangzhou Mu. "

The first half of Zhuge Liang's sentence explained why there are so many ministers in Shangshutai, but he only chose Ma Di to complete this task.

This is Zhuge Liang paving the way for Ma Su's future.

For Zhuge Liang's thoughts, Ma Di was still very grateful.

The prime minister has always attached great importance to him.

But the second half of Zhuge Liang's words made Ma Su feel a little worried.

It is an honor to be the envoy of the emperor and to reprimand the subordinates on behalf of the emperor.

But it also depends on the status of the courtier who was reprimanded.

General Zuo, Champion Hou, Liangzhou Mu, not to mention the deep background behind Mi Yang.

Just any one of these three identities of his is absolutely untouchable by the current Ma Di.

Although Ma Di didn't know why Liu Bei suddenly issued an edict to reprimand Mi Yang, but Ma Di, who was a smart character, knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it might become a big trouble.

It's just that even though he was worried, Ma Di couldn't refuse Zhuge Liang's appointment.

What Zhuge Liang needs is a subordinate who can share his worries, not a close minister who shirks the blame when things happen.

After realizing this, Ma Di, who had weighed his interests in his heart, did not appear abnormal on the surface.

After receiving the documents from the civil servants, he bowed respectfully to Zhuge Liang and said, "I will live up to the prime minister's high hopes."

Seeing that Ma Di was willing to take over this task, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly in satisfaction.

He specially asked Ma Di to be the envoy to Liangzhou. On the one hand, he wanted Ma Di to go out for training, but he also had an idea in his heart.

Among the current young heroes of the big man, Mi Yang is naturally the first.

He, Zhuge Liang, recruited apprentices, so he naturally wanted to recruit the best.

Apart from Mi Yang, Ma Di and Guan Xing are also rising stars that he highly values.

It's a pity that Guan Xing was sick and feared that his life would never last, so he used to value Ma Su very much.

Regarding Ma Di and Mi Yang, Zhuge Liang's personal feelings are now more inclined to Mi Yang.

But in Zhuge Liang's view, Ma Di and Mi Yang are both young heroes of the Han Dynasty, and they will eventually serve as the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty together after a few years.

That being the case, it is better to take this opportunity to let Ma Di and Mi Yang get in touch with each other in advance.

Anyway, the edict he asked Ma Di to send to Liangzhou was Liu Bei reprimanding Mi Yang in name.

In fact, it is better to say that it is Liu Bei's compliment to Mi Yang, which can also imperceptibly draw in the relationship between Ma Di and Mi Yang.

Zhuge Liang was thinking very well, but he overlooked one point, that is, Ma Di still doesn't know the specific content of the document.

So he's feeling anxious right now.

Of course, it cannot be said that this is Zhuge Liang's suddenness.

It's just that he didn't expect that Ma Di, who used to be "one-hearted for the public", would have doubts about shrinking before he arrived in Liangzhou.

After accepting the task Zhuge Liang entrusted to him, Ma Su slowly withdrew from the hall.

After exiting the hall, Ma Su couldn't help but sighed deeply as he looked at the sunset sky.

I only hope that Mi Mu is really like His Majesty as rumored.

On the second day, under the arrangement of Zhuge Liang, many riding messengers went to various parts of Yizhou with the emperor's scolding Liang Zhoumu's edict.

It was Ma Su who was full of worries who set off with them.

According to the etiquette system, even Ma Di, who is the envoy of the emperor, could not open the edict before arriving at the destination to watch it without authorization.

After arriving at the destination, Mi Yang will check the wax seal.

So after one night passed, the doubts in Ma Di's heart not only did not decrease, but became more serious anyway.

It's just that no matter how deep the doubts in his heart were, Ma Di knew that after he took over the task, the only way he could go was to go north.

It was the spring and summer flood season, and with the help of convenient water transportation, the dozens of missions headed by Ma Su soon arrived outside Nanzheng City.

And when Ma Di came outside Nanzheng City, he was shocked by what he saw.

On the top of Nanzheng's city wall, there were many dried heads.

Looking at the many heads with horrific death, Ma Di estimated in his heart that there might be nearly a hundred hanging heads!

Ma Di was born in a famous family, and his elder brothers sheltered him from the wind and rain since he was a child. After he grew up, he was highly regarded by Zhuge Liang, and he successively held important positions.

He who has never experienced a battle on the battlefield has never seen such a terrifying scene.

Almost the first time he saw this scene, Ma Di asked Fa Miao beside him in a surprised tone, "Why is this?"

The day before Ma Su's arrival, Mi Yang in Nanzheng City got the news in advance.

So today he specially sent Fa Miao to meet Ma Su at the gate of the city.

Seeing Ma Su pointing to the hundreds of heads hanging high and questioning in a suspicious tone, Fa Miao didn't think there was any fuss about it.

Unlike Ma Di, although Fa Miao also came from a famous family, he participated in the war with Fazheng.

And that war was still an extremely fierce battle of Hanzhong.

With this kind of past, Fa Miao's psychological quality is much better than Ma Su's.

What's more, he personally imprisoned nearly a hundred criminals some time ago.

Fa Miao said in a nonchalant tone: "Not long ago, some military officers outside Nanzheng City had riots due to corruption.

After the turmoil was put down by Uncle Mu, Uncle Mu punished them all by abandoning the market in order to enforce the law.

Later, he ordered the heads of these criminals to be hung on the city wall as a warning. "

After Fa Miao explained the inner reason, although Ma Di's face showed a look of enlightenment, he just read the scriptures and classics since he was a child, but he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Ma Di originally wanted to say something, but thinking of his mission, he consciously swallowed what he wanted to say.

Fa Miao saw that Ma Di seemed a little hesitant after his surprised face, and he didn't know what was going on in the envoy's head for a while.

In Yizhou, because of Zhuge Liang's attention, Ma Di's reputation is very wide.

Fa Miao had naturally heard of Ma Di's reputation before.

But after getting in touch with him today, Fa Miao felt that Ma Su, who had a good reputation in his memory, was not such a perfect person.

It's just that Fa Miao didn't think too much about it, maybe Ma Di didn't accept it?

After Fa Miao received Ma Di, he immediately proposed to take Ma Di to see Mi Yang immediately.

And Ma Di, who had long wanted to complete the task and return to Chengdu early, of course would not refuse Fa Miao's proposal.

So under the leadership of Fa Miao, Ma Su and his party quickly entered Nanzheng City.

After Ma Di entered Nancheng City, the scene inside the city quickly attracted his attention.

Nanzheng, as the seat of Hanzhong County at the time and now Liangzhou, must be a big city according to its scale.

Although the population of Hanzhong was relocated by Cao Cao before, after several years of recuperation and the continuous migration of refugees from Yizhou, it is hard to say about other counties in Hanzhong County. Nanzheng City has long been restored to a county with ten thousand households.

In today's world, the larger the scale of the city, the larger the population in the city, which means the more prosperous the city's economy.

But at the same time, because there is no scientific and overall management method in this world, the more prosperous the city, the more chaotic it will be.

People's congestion, illegal construction of houses, and unreasonable division of cities are all important reasons for the chaos.

This point is best understood by Ma Di, who has served as the magistrate of Mianzhu and Chengdu.

But when he entered Nanzheng City, he found that at least in Nanzheng City, even though what he saw could not be described as orderly, it was definitely not chaotic.

The pedestrians in the city and the street vendors in the city are basically operating in their respective areas in a law-abiding manner.

Even as he went deeper into Nanzheng City, Ma Su also found that some county soldiers were demolishing some high walls.

Moreover, he also saw that beside the county soldiers who demolished the high wall, there were still many private soldiers of the wealthy family.

But even though there were more private soldiers than the county soldiers who demolished the wall, those private soldiers could only watch silently.

Many of those high walls belonged to wealthy families. Of course, it didn't matter who those high walls belonged to. The important thing was that they were in the way.

The high wall built to block the street is a means for the rich and powerful families in the city to enclose their land for self-defense, and it is also a way for them to show their identity.

They not only make the streets look crowded, but also create a big hidden danger.

For a city, the streets are its lifeline.

When a foreign enemy invades, all the streets can continuously send the guards in the city to the walls of all sides.

And when a certain city wall is in trouble, as long as the streets in the city remain unobstructed, it is very convenient to send reinforcements from other city walls.

The high walls that can be built to block the streets of wealthy and powerful families have undoubtedly become cancerous tumors in these major arteries. Apart from satisfying their selfish desires, these cancerous tumors are of no benefit to the country or the city.

These hidden dangers were not unknown to Ma Di in the past, but because Chengdu and Mianzhu are both large counties, the wealthy families entrenched in them are powerful.

Therefore, when Ma Di tried to solve this hidden danger in the past, his previous efforts were always in vain due to various reasons.

Since taking charge of the county government, his county soldiers have not only demolished those high walls that violated the regulations, but even when they wanted to perform official duties, they would have to detour because of the many high walls that violated the regulations in the city.

So when Ma Di entered Nanzheng City and saw this scene that he wanted to do but couldn't do in the past, the feeling in his heart would be deeper than ordinary people.

Ma Di knew how much resistance Mi Yang encountered in trying to achieve this, but at the same time he also felt how powerful Mi Yang's authority in Nanzheng is now.

What is being demolished is the face of the wealthy family.

What is protected is the interests of the public.

After seeing this scene, Ma Di turned his head and pointed at the wealthy private soldiers who were helplessly watching, and said excitedly to Fa Miao who was halfway behind him:
"Liangzhou, Zhenzhou Muye!"

Ma Di's words sounded a bit confusing at first.

It's just that there are false prefects and state shepherds in this world.

The reason for this phenomenon is nothing more than those local aristocratic families.

Fa Miao felt the excitement in Ma Su's words, and a smile appeared on his face.

During this period of time, Mi Yang used nearly a hundred bloody heads to greatly frighten everyone in Nanzheng City.

Especially when Wu Yi stayed behind closed doors, no one could restrain the power in Mi Yang's hands.

No matter what the wealthy families in Nanzheng City think, at least on the surface they are extremely obedient to Mi Yang's orders.

I don't know when, a saying gradually spread in the city, that is to compare Mi Yang to the current "summer sun."

Who would not be afraid of the scorching sun?
But although there was a smile on Fa Miao's face, he didn't say anything.

He just continued to lead Ma Su towards the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Not long after, Fa Miao brought Ma Di to Mi Yang in the state pastoral mansion.

Facing the arrival of the envoy of the Son of Heaven, even though he knew in advance that it was Ma Di, the God of War in Jieting, Mi Yang still gave him full respect.

When Ma Di arrived, Mi Yang had already ordered people to set up an incense table in the hall.

Due to Mi Yang's preparations in advance, Ma Di was able to read Liu Bei's edict immediately.

However, before the formal reading, Ma Di reminded Mi Yang in advance out of doubts: "This is His Majesty's rebuke."

Mi Yang led a group of important officials in Liangzhou to welcome Liu Bei's edict.

So when Ma Di's words fell into the ears of Mi Yang and his ministers, they all had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Especially Mi Yang.

He didn't understand that he took Wu Yi's military power, did it really cause Liu Bei's dissatisfaction?

Seeing the expressions of Mi Yang and all the ministers behind him changed because of this sentence, Ma Su felt even more disturbed.

In a state of apprehension, Ma Di quickly removed the wax seal in front of everyone, and took out the imperial edict that Liu Bei had given to Mi Yang.

After unfolding the imperial edict and seeing its content, a big stone in Ma Su's heart was completely put down.

Only then did he fully understand Zhuge Liang's real intention for sending him.

He is smart, of course he can understand the true meaning of the contents of the imperial edict.

The apprehension in Ma Di's heart disappeared in an instant, replaced by cheerful emotions.

After a long sigh of relief, Ma Di quickly read out the contents of Liu Bei's imperial edict in front of everyone.

After Mi Yang and all the officials listened to the contents of the imperial edict, the doubts on their faces disappeared instantly.

What is this edict of reprimand, it is clearly an edict for Liu Bei to support Mi Yang!

After realizing this, everyone admired Liu Bei's wisdom.

Seeing the joy on Mi Yang's faces, Ma Su felt more relaxed.

With a relaxed mood, Ma Di remembered what he wanted to say just outside the city.

He saw that Mi Yang was in a good mood now, and he felt that Mi Yang really deserved his reputation, so he reminded everyone in public:
"Liangzhou is barren, and the folk customs are tough. The ambitious people have nothing to fear, and they will not accept it for a long time.

Although Uncle Mu breaks it today, he may retaliate tomorrow.Today, Uncle Mu sits in northern Xinjiang to shake the northern thieves, and his first move is to stabilize people's hearts.

Today, Uncle Mu wants to eliminate future troubles by killing all the guilty officials. This is not the way of the benevolent, so how can he achieve his wish?
The way a husband governs is the same as the way to use soldiers. Submission is the top priority, and destruction of the body is the bottom. Su steals and worries for Uncle Mu. "

After hearing Ma Di's reminder, Mi Yang hadn't reacted yet, but most of the important officials behind him had an idea in their hearts.

Where did this nerd come from?

　I got off work a little late today, so it's not a big problem.

　　Continue to type.

　　It may be later, in the morning.
