~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Liaodong in August, autumn tigers are still raging, and the temperature is unbearable. "If you stand at the Xiangping City Gate Tower, at first glance, the entire county town is trapped in a distorted image, as if even the newly built brick wall, called the "tomb wall" by the Xiangping people, will melt and soar with the steam.
Ma Han, the controller of the entire six counties and one country in Liaodong, is feeling both physically and mentally at this moment. This is not only because the Ma Han General's office has moved to Motianling, and the summer palace is set up in this beautiful mountain scenery as a summer office location; it is not only because he is a neighbor of Guan Ning, the great sage; it is not only because he is no longer surrounded by big men covered in sweat, but because he has changed it to several charming concubines and maids; it is because he is a roll of thin wooden slips in his hand.
This scroll of wooden slips, which also smells of shaved wood and varnish, only records a few names, and is nothing surprising. No one picks up any of them even if they throw them on the street, but to Ma Han, it is worth a thousand gold.
The first name recorded on the wooden slip is "Ma Ancheng" at the beginning, and the last one is "Ma Han".
That’s right, this is a summary family tree, and Ma Han’s identity has finally come to an end.
Since returning from Xuzhou last year, Ma Han has deeply realized the significant impact of his background on himself and his power, and he must find a "root" for himself. At this time, the Ma clan of the Han Dynasty had only two more influential: the Fufeng Ma clan and the Ma clan of Handan.
Although the Fufeng Ma family is the branch of the Ma family in Handan, there have been many talents since the dynasty, including General Fubo Ma Yuan, Ma Rong, General Andi Ma Teng, Taifu Ma Riyi, etc., all of them are from Fufeng. The reputation of the Fufeng Ma family has become far beyond the Ma family in Handan.
The famous family of the Fufeng Ma family, which is at its peak, has been clearly understood. It is almost impossible for a parachuted figure like Ma Han to squeeze in. However, after Ma Han sent a group of Eagle Eye to Julu to investigate and sort out the matter, he found an opportunity.
Coincidentally, Ma Han's hometown is Julu County, and there is a tributary of the Ma family that is wandering outside Fufeng. When it comes to Julu Ma family, we have to mention a person - Ma Ancheng. This person is not an unknown person, he is the great-grandfather of Ma Yuan, the famous general of the famous Han Fubo.
Ma Ancheng, the Shizhong Pushe Ma Heluo (or Mang Heluo) during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and the brother of the overlapping Hou Ma Tong. The three brothers of the Ma family once initiated a famous rebellion case during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.
In the second year of the sect and sect of Emperor Wu of Han (92 BC), during the Witchcraft Rebellion, Ma Tong supported Prime Minister Liu Quqi and fought fiercely with the troops of Prince Liu Ju in Chang'an, and made great contributions to the title of Chonghe Marquis. Emperor Wu of Later Han found out that all the matters in Wusen were inaccurate. The prince was forced to fight for Jiang Chong and was forced to rebel. He regretted his rashness and murdered his descendants before! He then issued an edict to destroy Jiang Chong's family.
It is said that the three brothers of the Ma family stand on the side of Emperor Wu in this chaos of father and son fighting each other and belong to the winner. But this is the case with the royal affairs. As long as you get involved, you will have to lose your skin even if you don’t die, and there will never be any winner. When the vanguard of the left prime minister Liu Quqi, who was cruelly beheaded and abandoned the market, the three brothers of the Ma family were scared, and Ma Heluo, who was deeply afraid that he would be counterattacked by Emperor Wu, decided to take the risk. With his brother Ma Tong and Ma Ancheng conspired to assassinate Emperor Wu.
In the first year of Houyuan (88 BC), Ma Heluo took advantage of his chance to enter and exit the palace ban freely and broke into Emperor Wu's bedroom. He accidentally touched the treasure serpent due to panic. He fell to the ground and felt a sound, but the blade in his arms was lost. As a result, he was seen through the spot by the guard Jin Riyi, and tied his neck with his arms and threw it over, resulting in the assassination failure. Emperor Wu ordered the execution of the Ma Heluo brothers' clan.
But for some reason, although Ma Tong died, Ma Tong's son Ma Shi was not executed. Moreover, Ma Shi was also a lord official during the reign of Emperor Xuan. Later, Ma Shi gave birth to Ma Zhong and became the Sima of Xuanwu. Ma Zhong gave birth to four sons, and his fourth son was Ma Yuan, which led to the revival of the Ma family.
There is also someone who is also lucky, that is, Ma Ancheng's posthumous son born to a concubine. But compared with Ma Shi, he was unfortunate. He lived in Jizhou to avoid disaster and finally settled in Julu. After the fourth generation, the Ma family of Julu had found his ancestors and returned to his hometown. At that time, the head of the Ma family of Fufeng happened to be General Fubo, Ma Yuan, who personally recorded the four generations of the Ma family of Julu in the genealogy. Since then, the Ma family of Julu returned to his hometown.
However, this side branch is far away from the ancestral hall and it is difficult to get support from the clan. After several lifetimes, it gradually changed to zero. By the end of the Han Dynasty, the news was gone - and this was Ma Han's opportunity.
Therefore, over the whole year, the Hawkeye Group collected a large number of testimony, physical objects, incomplete "family genealogy" and so on. In the troubled times, it is easy to remove one person in the countryside, but it is not difficult to add one person. With the operation of the Hawkeye Group, Ma Han became the only surviving and resurgent figure in this branch.
All kinds of "evidence and evidence" are well prepared, and only the last link is left. These things cannot be sent by an unknown person, or even if they are famous, but have nothing to do with the Ma family, as it is difficult to achieve the expected results.
It happened to be that there was a best candidate under Ma Han's command - Jack Ma.
Hum? Jack Ma! That's right, it's Jack Ma. The Rouge Horse, who is stationed in Guanzhong, is now the commander of a special female cavalry "Flying Yan Ling" of the White Wolf Camp. Although this female cavalry has never really fought a war since its establishment, it is still a formal military position. Jack Ma, the female cavalry general, has always enjoyed the treatment of the military marquis. It is this honor and dignity, and the female companions who have been with him day and night, which makes it difficult for Ma Yun-Te to give up. Finally, he leaves home and becomes a formal military officer of the White Wolf Camp.
This is also because Bailang City in western Liaoning is too far from Chiyang (Ma Teng's army station) in Guanzhong, and the three auxiliary forces are in chaos and the situation is turbulent. Ma Teng can't get away at all, otherwise he would have been attacked and sued.
In the past two years, Ma Yunli rarely returns to Guanzhong except for training female cavalry. This time, for the sake of Ma Han's return, he had to bite the bullet and go home. Fortunately, his father and brother were not in Fufeng's hometown, otherwise he would not have thought of slipping out again. Ma Han asked her to run her ID card, so who wouldn't the daughter of the head of the Fufeng Ma family?
The reason why Jack Ma worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles was half because of the orders of his superiors. As a subordinate, he had to obey, and half because of the innate mercy of women.
He lost his parents at a young age, wandered in the countryside, started in the ranks, worked hard in the grass, and became a big shot... The above is what Ma Han said to Jack Ma. Women are born with irresistible sympathy for orphans. And when this "orphan" wants to return to the clan, or go home, he can do something about it, and no woman with compassion can refuse.
When Ma Yunli submitted the "identity certificate" about Ma Han to the ancestral hall and asked the clan elder to submit it to her father, she was still nervous, afraid that her father would make things difficult for her. But unexpectedly, her father quickly sent a new family tree, and Ma Han's name was listed on it - and the ranking was her uncle!
"So, I am your uncle." As soon as Ma Han said this, Ma Yunli, who was standing beneath the stairs, turned red and sued in panic, and ran away invisible.
Ma Han looked at the "identity card" in his hand with a faint smile on his face. From the beginning of sending Ma Yun-Te to return to Fufeng with "evidence", he knew that Ma Teng would definitely store himself in the Fufeng Ma clan as fast as possible. If it were him, he would not care about the authenticity of those "evidence". He would not dig the bottom, because everyone clearly understood that this was a prefect who controlled six counties and one country that controlled the territory of a state and was no less than that of a state. In this chaotic era, only a brainless person would seriously review and investigate.
What Ma Han wants is a noble and superior background. What Ma Teng wants is a clan and allies. Both sides get what they need and are happy.
...
On the night of mid-autumn, the sky is clear and green. The moon is full like a plate. The backyard of the Motianling Palace is fragrant, and the flowers and trees are fragrant. The water flows.
"I wish you to return home and return to the ancestral hall. This body will eventually be supported. It is a joyful congratulation." Li Ji smiled like a flower, holding the green jade cup upright and serving wine to Ma Han. Behind her are Gan Mei, Zhen Qin, Nian Nu and two special female guests: Ma Yunli and Zhao Yingzi.
Ma Han smiled and greeted the girls with the cup, and nodded to Ma Yung. Li Ji, Gan Mei, Zhen Qin, and Nian Nu were naturally happy, but Ma Yung and Zhao Yingzi were embarrassed. Li Ji's speech was to say that if they also drank with respect, it would be... But it would not be possible if they didn't drink. This was not only a disappointment, but also an unlucky meaning, which made the two girls embarrassed.
After Li Ji finished drinking with Ma Han, he followed the eyes of the husband and saw the two embarrassing daughters. He turned his eyes, smiled, rose up, and dragged the ground with deep clothes and long skirts. Shi Shiran walked to the two daughters, raised his lord and invited him, "This time, the husband was able to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown. Sister Yunli made great contributions. Sister wants to pay a cup to you."
Ma Yunli quickly held the cup and responded, and Zhao Yingzi also drank it, which resolved the embarrassment.
Originally, Ma Yun and Zhao Yingzi should not attend such a half-family dinner party, but tonight was mainly to celebrate Ma Han's return to home, and Ma Yunzi made a lot of efforts, so naturally he had to invite him. Ma Yunzi brought Zhao Yingzi to enhance his courage, which led to the two women's embarrassment. Fortunately, Li Ji was quick and he could solve the predicament for the two women.
The horse man leaned against the table with his cup and looked at the silver moonlight. The girls smiled gracefully, their skirts were fluttering, their noses were fragrant, and their ears were singing. This scene was drunk before they could drink.
In a trance, Zhen Qin heard her singing faintly: "Looking up at the bright moon, sending her love to the light of thousands of miles."
The scene suddenly became quiet. After a while, Li Ji whispered in his ears: "If the bright moon is affectionate, my homesickness will be sent to Luoyang."
When Ma Han woke up, he looked up and saw the girls looking at the moon one by one, feeling sad and resentful. That's right! After thinking about it carefully, they were all thousands of miles away from home and had been here for many years. On this mountain, the bright moon rose in the sky, and homesickness rose.
Ma Han sighed, raised his hand to stroke Zhen Qin's hair, and said naturally: "Yes, every year tonight, the moon is as bright as a training, and people are often thousands of miles away..."
This line of Song lyrics in later generations is straightforward and simple, and is more direct than the low chanting of the two girls, making the girls lose control and cry with sad voices.
Ma Han smiled bitterly. Does the tidal gravity of the moon have such a great impact on people's emotions?
I don’t know how long it took, but the atrium became quiet and the girls had retreated. Only Li Jian knelt quietly in front of Ma Han. Under the moonlight, it looked like a blooming white lotus.
"Do you still remember the secret I told?"
Li Ji's words immediately made Ma Han's spirit excited: "You are finally willing to say it."
"Well, I miss home, I want to go home."
"Your home is in Luoyang, I know that, then, where do you want to return to Luoyang?"
