I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 265: The General of the Han Dynasty—Fufeng Ma Family

Ban Xiong couldn't help but laugh bitterly after hearing Liu Long's words.

Although Ban Xiong didn't know what the past was between Liu Long and Ma Xu, he was certain that His Majesty's reaction was not because Ma Xu had ever angered him.

But Ma Xu is indeed not a general who can be trusted by people!
Of course, this does not mean that he, Ma Xu, has any shady past, or that he has a bad reputation among the powerful children or the royal family.

On the contrary, this Ma Xu does not need too much introduction by Ban Xiong. He is definitely a famous person in the world.

To what extent has it reached?
Let's talk about this version, the world-famous Cao family, his aunt Ban Zhao, is now doing the same thing as the young Ma Xu.

And both sides are evenly matched!

Of course, it was not that Ma Xu caught the eye of the Queen Mother, but that he, like his aunt, was now a famous person in the world and presided over a party in Dongguan.

After all, there are many celebrities in the Han Dynasty nowadays, but celebrities were also divided into classes, and those who could be conquered by prefectures, counties and counties were the first class.

What was conquered by the imperial government was the second stage.

Regardless of whether they will apply for the conscription, this illustrates the most basic truth, that is, they have been recognized by the court.

But being recognized by the court is only the first step for celebrities. What step they can take in the end is what is really important.

Some famous people really have the ability to govern their families and countries. They can really make the world move for them, they can move generals and ministers, and they can also govern local places.

But there are also some celebrities who are very famous and have great talent, talent, and knowledge.

But unfortunately, they are just not good at governing the place!
To put it simply, they are bachelors, true bachelors. They have a clear understanding of the teachings of the sages, and even have their own understandings and opinions. They can even talk, preach and learn karma to solve doubts.

But people with this ability do not mean that they can apply what they have learned.

As for this kind of person, the Han Dynasty's court also had its own ID arrangement, that is, doctor, imperial scholar's sacrificial wine, sir, and finally Dongguan was the existence they longed for most.

It was a place destined to write legends.

It is the place where celebrities from the Han Dynasty finally gathered.

And Ma Xu is such a person, at least from the current point of view, he is one of the best.

This one is writing a book in Dongguan, Han Dynasty!

The grandnephew of General Fubo Ma Yuan will be the seventh son of the great craftsman Ma Yan. Needless to say, this identity is a descendant of the famous family of the Han Dynasty.

And he himself is even more tyrannical.

His brother Ma Rong is now also a world-famous celebrity and a disciple of the Cao family. However, his brother is famous for his beautiful speech and posture, talent, and good rhetoric.

He was taught and appreciated by Zhi Xun, who was known as the No. 1 scholar in Kansai and lived in seclusion in Nanshan, and promised his daughter to him.

In the end, he was able to serve in the imperial court, but then he offended the imperial court and had no choice but to live in seclusion in Dongguan.
But Ma Rong's younger brother Ma Xu is different. This man has been destined to be a legend since he was born.

You can understand "The Analects" at the age of seven, "Shangshu" at the age of 13, and "The Book of Songs" at the age of 16. Many people know these basic things, but not many are proficient in them.

There are even fewer people who can achieve proficiency at this age.In addition to these, after he turned 16, he suddenly fell in love with "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and began to study it.

And it really allowed him to research a lot of things, and he was recognized by the world.

In the fourth year of Yongyuan, Dou Xian lost power and committed suicide. Ban Gu, a famous Han Dynasty scholar, was also implicated and dismissed from office and arrested because of his relationship with the Dou family. In the end, it can be said that he died unjustly in prison.

Although this incident is quite tragic, no one else can say anything until now. Even the Ban family can only lament that it is fate.

But it doesn't matter that Ban Gu died, the "Book of Han" compiled by him has not been completed. Although he is still a Han Dynasty, compiling the "Book of Han" is something that the Han Dynasty attaches great importance to.

It is also to prove that although Emperor Guangwu, the founder of the Han Dynasty, is also a descendant of the Han Dynasty, there is still a difference between his descendants and his descendants.

Therefore, someone must continue the "Book of Han". Ban Gu had already completed the compilation of the historical materials, and other aspects were much easier.

In the end, only the "Eight Tables" and "Tianwen Zhi" were left in the "Han Shu".

Although these two are not extremely important, they are not something that ordinary people can write about. The eight tables are geography, especially this extreme place, which is not only anecdotes and rumors.

It even shows how far the Han’s national prestige has reached!
Not to mention this "Astronomy", whether it is astrology or divination, astronomy is required, and there are very few people who are familiar with this matter.

In the end, the late Emperor Liu Zhao, after searching for a long time, finally found two people who could barely replace Ban Gu.

One of them is Ban Gu's sister and Ban Xiong's biological aunt, Ban Zhao, who is already married to Cao family.

The late emperor ordered Ban Gu's sister Ban Zhao to supplement the "Eight Tables" part, and the other part of "Astronomical Records" was given to the first genius of the Fufeng Ma family, Ma Xu!
Since then, Ma Xu has been writing books and living in seclusion in the Dongguan. He has not participated in court matters, nor has he offended anyone in order to show off like his brother Ma Rong.

Therefore, Ban Xiong is very sure that with his character of Ma Xu, he will definitely not offend the Han emperor who has not really begun to take over the government affairs of the court.

And the reason why His Majesty reacted like this is probably because his reputation over the years has nothing to do with the word general.
But now, even though he doesn't want to say it, Ban Xiong still has to continue.

Seeing that Liu Long had regained his calm expression, Ban Xiong slowly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Ma Xu of the Fufeng Ma family has become one of the famous people in the world in recent years, and he has made considerable contributions to writing books in Dongguan.

But your Majesty, don't forget that this Ma Xu is also the real queen of generals.

Indeed, none of his ancestors, including his grandfather, father, and even his brothers, served as generals outside.

But this doesn't mean that he can't continue immediately.

I am bold, although I dare not say what kind of criticism I have with this Ma Xu, but because I am from the same county, and the two families were quite close friends back then.

So we often communicate.

In my opinion, although it is good that Ma Xu is continuing to write the "Book of Han", it is really overkill.

His true ability is definitely within this army."
