~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fourth year of Jian'an (199), New Year's Day.

In the Han Dynasty, the first year of the year was the beginning of the year, also known as New Year's Day, but there was no saying of the Spring Festival, but it was already somewhat of a prototype of the Spring Festival. On this day, Luoyang would be very lively, and relatives and friends would gather and have banquets. The business of shops in Jinshi, Mashi and the streets would be very prosperous. Jinwuwei and Silifa would not be prohibited from arresting people; and the Tingyi Townships in Luoyang were incense everywhere, worshiping spirits and ancestors, and praying for good weather in the coming year.

Ma Han accompanied the emperor and officials to Mingtang to worship early in the morning. The most conspicuous along the way was the two sides of the Luoshui River. Every half of the way stood a tall keel water truck. Under the reflection of the rising sun, giant wheels shone with golden colors as bright as wheat ears.

Emperor Liu Xie saw it from the chariot and was amazed, saying to the horse who was accompanying him: "This is my deed."

Ma Han said humbly: "Zuo Zhangchang (Ma Jun)'s contribution is indispensable."

Making large-scale agricultural tools is the responsibility of the Grand Chief Farmer and the General of the Great Man. What is the matter with Mahan? Why do you praise a general? Of course, there is a reason here: First, the keel water wheel was made by Mahan, and the drawings were presented and various data on the high yield after applying the water wheel in Liaodong were used. Second, the money for manufacturing the water wheel was paid by Mahan. This project was very large. The court had just recovered from the turmoil, and the income tax was paid. It was just enough to make large-scale agricultural tools in the palace and the salaries of officials. It was powerless to make large-scale agricultural tools in large quantities. The noble families in the court were not interested in this kind of semi-public welfare and slow recovery of funds, so naturally no one paid.

So Ma Han donated a sum of money to the court. The amount was over 100 million yuan, and it was specially used for the manufacture of keel water trucks. Of course, this money was not given in vain. In the future, the interest would be necessary to be deducted from the income from land taxes. However, this process would be very long, just like the funds for building bridges and paving roads in later generations. Most people are unwilling to do it, so Liu Xie admired his brother-in-law so much.

After the worship, there will be a palace banquet in the evening and the year-end banquet, and Ma Han must attend. Not only him, along with Princess Wannian and his concubines, as well as three children in the cradle, will also attend.

As night fell, the front of the Zhongxing Hall of Chongde Hall was brightly lit, from the main hall, to the side hall, to the Yuntai, to the Guangtai in front of the hall. There were rows of tables and arranged one by one. The eunuchs in the palace, the servants were like crucian carp crossing the river, running around; maids, dancers, like butterflies passing through flowers, and were graceful in the middle.

The minimum number of officials participating in the palace banquet is 600 stones. After entering the palace, they will be seated according to the size of the official position and the salary, and under the guidance of the waiter. Although there are many people, they are all obedient and the scene is not at all chaotic.

After taking the seat, the court officials looked at him and found that not only the emperor's bed was empty, but also Ma Han, the most important official of the Han Dynasty, had not yet been seen. The court officials thought in their hearts that this pair of uncles must have been talking about each other again.

The court officials were right. In the ear room on the left side of Zhongxing Hall, Liu Xie was sitting around the table with Ma Han, the emperor's sister, the father-in-law and others. These people are now the closest people to the emperor Liu Xie.

Needless to say, Princess Wannian is Liu Xie’s only direct relative in the world. Ma Han is not only a royal relative or a relative of the outside world, but also a pillar of the court.

Fu Wan, the uncle of the Han Dynasty (called his father-in-law in the Han Dynasty), should have been the one who took charge of military and political affairs with the unwritten iron rules of the Han Dynasty for 400 years. Unfortunately, he was a horseman out of thin air and replaced it. Fu Wan was not a brainless person. He knew that this was a chaotic world and had no ability to correct the chaos in his family, so he was willing to give way to the virtuous.

This is not to say how good Fu Wan is, but because everyone has the same interests and positions, and belongs to the foreign relatives group. Ma Han is the spokesperson of this group.

Ma Han is different from Cao Cao in history. Before Cao Cao took down Dong Cheng and eliminated Empress Fu and Concubine Dong, he was just a powerful minister, not a relative of the foreign country. It was not until the Fu family and Dong family were trampled on that Cao was able to replace him and forcibly become a relative of the foreign country. This relative of Cao Cao was a forced melon, so he naturally would not be sweet, and would only attract people's disgust. Even if he forced himself to give Liu Xie's daughter, he was also resentful. Therefore, Empress Cao threw Cao Pi's envoy with a jade seal and said the curse of "Heaven is not a priest".

The identity of Ma Han as a relative is real and justified, and there is a precedent for him to hold the power of the country's military and horses. Emperor Wu of Han and General Wei Qing, their relationship is now the relationship between Liu Xie and Ma Han.

In the Han Dynasty, when the most important thing is to be honest, it is most important to be justified. If Ma Han did not have such an identity and was in charge of the central government with a local warlord, the best result would be where to go; the worst result would be... Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Li Jue, Yang Feng and others were role models.

All the warlords who controlled the central government in history, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Dong Cheng, etc., except for one Dong Cheng, all died quickly. Why did Dong Cheng survive? It was because he had the identity of a relative of the outside world. Of course, in the end, he was removed because of this identity and became a stumbling block for Cao Cao, which was another matter.

Although Fuwan recommended Ma Han as the spokesperson for the interests of foreign relatives, he was a little uneasy. The most solid knives of this era were in-laws, so Fuwan also asked his eldest son Fude's wife Yang to bring her granddaughter, who had been born not long ago, to form a family with Ma Han.

Of course, it is hard to say Fu Wan directly, and it is not easy for his son and daughter-in-law to speak. The most suitable candidate is naturally the daughter Queen Fu. So Queen Fu took the task, but Fu Wan found that her daughter seemed to be a little out of shape.

At this moment, Liu Xie was leaning his head and staring at his nephew in his cradle, staring at his big eyes and shouting: "Emperor Sister, do you have a big name?"

Princess Wannian smiled and said, "I just asked Guan Daxian a few days ago and got a 'Xu'."

Guan Daxian was Guan Ning. After Ma Han entered the court, he asked the emperor to issue three edicts to recruit him to the court as an official, but they were all politely rejected. However, Guan Ning gave a return gift, which was to name his two sons at the request of Ma Han.

Liu Xie said, "Is there anything wrong with this name?"

"Guan Daxian's words come from the words "The Rising Sun Begins'" in "Poetry. The Breeze. There are bitter leaves in the throne."

"Oh, that's how it's good, this name is not bad." Liu Xie responded, but he couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes, "I originally wanted to name my nephew..."

At this time, Ma Han interrupted the conversation with Fu Wan and took the conversation with a smile: "Although Your Majesty can't name it anymore, you can take the words. In the future, Xu'er's ceremony of becoming a human being, how about asking Your Majesty to give you the words?"

When Liu Xie heard this, he was so happy that his mouth couldn't be closed. Ma Han's words were not only as simple as asking him to take a word, but also meant to wish him a place to enjoy peace in the world for twenty years. How can he not be happy?

At this time, Fu Wan saw that the opportunity was great, but his daughter kept lowering her eyebrows and staring at her eyes. She finally couldn't help but cough: "Look at it, Queen. This tiger is so cute."

Queen Fu said lightly, raised her head quickly, looked at her father apologetically, hurriedly approached, looked at her head and smiled, "He is really a happy child... Well, my brother also has a daughter, Mingxiu and lovely, and is about the age of Ma Qing's son. Why not be the best person to be a person and get married to each other?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, Liu Xie was overjoyed and said, "Good! Very good! Zi Tong's words are very heart-wrenching. What does Ma Qing mean?"

Ma Han knew it well and knew that this was inevitable. Well, let’s make a marriage for a baby. The Yang family is not only a famous family of Hongnong Yang, but also a gentle and bright child. The daughter he gave birth to must not be bad, it’s cheaper to these two kids.

Hum? Why the second boy?

Little did I know that Fu Wan wanted to slap his daughter at this time - what's the point? I lost my soul or what? I want to marry the eldest son of the Ma family, the son born to Princess Wannian! Why did you find me a second boy!

It turned out that Queen Fu was confused and came straight to Zhen Qin. In order to marry her, Zhen Qin did have a baby in her arms. It was Ma Han's second son Ma Heng. Queen Fu was in a hurry and mistakenly made a mistake in the matchmaking of the mandarin couple.

The emperor had already said that for the sake of the plan, Ma Han agreed, and the road was already done. No matter how hard he jumped, it would be useless. He could only make mistakes. He was unwilling but asked his son to exchange letters with Ma Han with a "happy face".

At this moment, Queen Fu also woke up and was stunned for a moment, not daring to look at her father and brother.

At this time, the eunuch reported outside: "All the ministers have arrived, so His Majesty has to go to preside over the anniversary banquet."

Ma Han, Fu Wan, Fu De, the princess and a group of concubines all surrendered to the emperor and went out of the outer hall to officially attend the banquet.

Liu Xie turned to the screen and said as he walked: "Change clothes!"

The eunuch put a crown on the emperor, put on a red dragon robe (the Eastern Han Dynasty was fire de, Shanghong), surrounded the jade belt, wore a sachet, and bowed and retreated.

Liu Xie looked out across the screen. Nothing happened, so he sat upright on the mat, took out a white jade box from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and opened it. It was paved with brocade, and divided into nine grids horizontally and vertically with red sandalwood. Five of them were empty, and there were still four grids with a fiery red pill the size of a finger.

Liu Xie stretched out his thumb and ate two fingers, picked up one, looked at the light, looked left and right, murmured, "It's almost done, right? It's almost two years old. According to the master, if the foundation has been built, and then three furnaces of immortal elixirs will be used to ascend to it... Unfortunately, one furnace will take one year..."

Liu Xie sighed while taking out a jade bottle, pulling off the redwood soft plug, and injecting some clear liquid into the jade cup - this is not ordinary well water, but the morning dew collected from the top of Beimang Mountain, and taking it with the elixir, the effect is doubled.

Just as Liu Xie picked up the elixir and was about to send it to his mouth, suddenly a person suddenly appeared behind the screen, knelt on the ground, and said wailingly: "Your Majesty, don't...you can't take medicine anymore!"

Liu Xie was so scared that he shivered, and the elixir fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

Liu Xie was furious and rushed over and grabbed the man. He didn't care that this man was the queen of Mo Yi Tianxia. He slapped her back and forth with his forehand and slapped her back and forth, so that Queen Fu could not even say he wanted to ask for advice.

It was not until the eunuchs rushed in when they heard the sound, trembling all over and begged on the ground, that Liu Xie angrily pushed Queen Fu to the table, and felt that she was upset and unstoppable. If there was a sword in her hand, she really wanted to kill someone.

"Give the queen a good look, and there will be a banquet ceremony later. If people see that there is nothing wrong, don't want your dog's heads!"
