Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Because Jingzhou, a large and fertile state, was taken back, a huge amount of money and food poured into Ji Han's treasury. The wealth of this small country, which has been poor for twenty years, has finally begun to rise at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In the end, after the Shangshutai compiled all the battle reports, it was confirmed that all the deficits were complete. From then on, the imperial court no longer had any debts, and many outstanding rewards and expenditures were fully repaid.

But I do have to thank Sun Quan for his efforts in helping the Han Dynasty over the years. Just the money and grain hoarded in Jingzhou, while making up for the big man's shortfall, there was actually a little surplus!

At this time, the Chancellor, who was completely relieved of the pressure, unanimously decided to hold a banquet to celebrate this historical moment. For this reason, Jiang Wan personally went to the Hussar General's Mansion to invite Ma Su, and begged Ma Su to bring the prime minister along with him.

Ma Su readily agreed to this, after all, who would refuse to have a party. What's more, after so many years, this is Ma Su's first time to participate in a large-scale banquet in the Three Kingdoms era.

So Ma Di gathered all the people in the Hussars' Palace in Chang'an, and personally went to the Prime Minister's Palace to invite Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and did not refuse Ma Su's invitation. However, he thought that at such an important moment, a banquet for officials might not be appropriate.

Therefore, the three families of Shangshutai, Prime Minister's Palace, and Hussar General's Palace unanimously decided to invite Liu Chan. Allowing His Majesty to join the celebration together will also allow Liu Chan to gain prestige among officials.

This bonfire dinner was scheduled to take place during a holiday, which was a legal holiday for officials in the Han Dynasty. On this day, all officials can go home from get off work, take a break, take a bath and enjoy life.

It is also at this time that holding a banquet will not affect the administration.

This dinner really opened Ma Su's eyes, and he realized that his previous banquets were nothing.

In the center is a super cauldron symbolizing the emperor, which is boiled with fire. The civil and military officials are arranged between the seats, with their seats symbolizing power.

And an official of Ma Su's level would naturally sit almost at the top. In addition to Emperor Liu Chan's seat and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's seat, Ma Di's seat was also the seat.

However, in such a large-scale and high-standard banquet, there were not many delicacies that stood out to Ma Su. In this era when cooking technology was still relatively backward, most meals were meat sauce, and the wide variety of dishes of later generations were not even a trace.

"When I have time, I will have to popularize this cooking technique sooner or later. If I continue like this, I will really become an ascetic." Ma Su couldn't help but be disappointed when he looked at this seemingly dazzling array of meals, but in fact they were just a single type of food.

Before, when I was poor and had nothing, there was no problem in just eating something to deal with it. But now that everything is still in the old capital, the government is no longer in poverty, and the quality of life must be improved.

Although extravagance is undesirable, sometimes it is not a good thing to be poor.

At the very least, Ma Su plans to find an opportunity to improve this coarse salt, otherwise it would be really difficult to eat with colorful coarse salt every day.

Fortunately, in addition to the high-quality food, this dinner also included singing and dancing. As an extra program for Liu Chan to attend the banquet in person, all the maids in the palace were invited to sing and dance to cheer for the guests.

"Today I have a great gathering with you all, how can I not return home having a great time? Let's all raise a toast with me to the great man!" Liu Chan looked very excited, and it was considered that he had found an opportunity to celebrate.

Under his leadership, all civil and military officials were beaming with joy and raised their glasses to drink together. In the center of the banquet, nearly a hundred maids were singing and dancing to add to the fun, but Ma Su seemed to see an acquaintance among them.

Hey, did I forget to give Cao Fang his mother back?

Tsk, it turns out that His Majesty is also good at this.

At this moment, Ma Dai, a veteran of the General's Palace, suddenly spoke, leading all the generals in the General's Palace to sing together.

"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you!"

"How can I live without clothes? I am in the same boat with you. The king raised his army, repaired my spear and halberd, and worked with me together!"

"How can I live without clothes? I share the same clothes with you. The king has raised his troops, repaired my armor and soldiers, and gone with me!"

As the generals became more interested, the civil servants would not be left behind. Jiang Wan personally led a group of civil servants to respond to them with "Long Song Xing".

But at this time, Ma Di suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhuge Liang and said,

"Prime Minister, would you like to join us for such a grand dinner?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Ma Su but did not reply, making Ma Su a little embarrassed. But just when he thought that the prime minister was not good at this, Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his head and sang loudly:

"Step out of the Qi City Gate and look into the distance into the Dang Yin."

"There are three tombs in the middle, which are similar to each other."

"Ask whose tomb it is, it's the Tianjiang Guzhi family."

"The strength can rank Nanshan, and it can kill Jedi."

"Once someone is slandered, two peaches will kill three people."

"Who can plan this, Prime Minister Qi Yanzi!"

Zhuge Liang's sudden singing stunned all the officials and even Liu Chan. So when Zhuge Liang finished singing, the audience fell silent for a while.

"Your Majesty! I have lost my composure." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said to Liu Chan.

"What are you talking about, Xiangfu? This is your true temperament!" Liu Chan reacted and stood up immediately.

Then all the officials reacted and cheered for Zhuge Liang. But Ma Su saw Zhuge Liang's meaningful look at him, which was obviously an advice to Ma Su.

Zhuge Liang loved "Liang Fu Yin" all his life, and he always used this to remind himself to be humble and not to implicate ministers who had contributed to the country because of personal grudges.

"How about General Hussar joining us for a while?" At this time, Fei Yi, who was next to him, suddenly spoke up and pushed Ma Su happily.

"I'm not good at singing and poetry, and my martial arts skills are limited." Ma Di quickly raised his hands in surrender and said with humility.

"Now you have become a warrior again. Your identity, Ma Youchang, has changed very quickly." Jiang Wan rolled his eyes and said straightforwardly.

"Let Han Yuefu choose one for himself. After all, it's a hussar general, so he has to play a part no matter what!"

In the end, he was forced to have no choice but to apologize silently to future generations. In the end, he did not escape the fate of Wenzhao Gong.

"On a dark moonlit night, the wind is high, and Shan Yu flees at night."

"If you want to drive Qingqi away, the heavy snow will cover your bow and sword!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent again, and even Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Su with a little surprise.

"I can't tell, You Chang. After fighting for so many years, my literary talent has not faded." Jiang Wan was a little surprised, touched his chin and said,

"It's just that this format is a bit novel. It seems you are right. You are indeed not good at singing..."

Five-character rhymed poetry had already appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was not the mainstay. The format of Han Fu was still very popular during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but it was a minority after all.

But no matter what, Ma Di's poetry and literary talent can still be clearly seen.

"Well, it's a blessing for the Han Dynasty that all of you who love me are talented." Liu Chan was also very happy and raised his glass to Ma Di.

"Your Majesty, do you miss Shu?" At this time, Ma Di suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"I am happy here and don't miss Shu." Liu Chan replied without thinking. But before Zhuge Liang could frown, he smiled again and said.

"But the land of Shu is in harmony with the monarchs and ministers who love you."
