Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"Gongyan, in the end it was you who took the first step..."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, looked at the posthumous title of "Wenzheng" on Jiang Wan's tombstone, and murmured:

Jiang Wan came to the court of the Han Dynasty. The most important civil officials below Zhuge Liang (Ma Di was not among them), Liu Chan gave this posthumous title on the day he died of illness.

This can be said to be the highest posthumous title that can be obtained in the civil service system, and it also represents Liu Chan's affirmation of this minister.

So when he saw this posthumous title, Zhuge Liang was also proud of Jiang Wan. But even so, this still cannot conceal Zhuge Liang's sadness.

"Gong Yan, now that you are gone, Wen Wei will be the only one in the court. How can you make me feel at ease in the court..." Zhuge Liang shook his head gently and sighed, looking a little lonely.

Even when Jiang Wan was there, the Chancellery was sometimes too busy. This is under the premise that he is still alive and his prestige is convincing to the public.

If he leaves, and only Fei Yi is left, will he still be able to stay in the court?

Zhuge Liang felt unsure, and because of this he was even more saddened by Jiang Wan's death.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty has now taken charge of the government. Although his political skills are not very good, he is making progress after all." Ma Di looked at Zhuge Liang's back, walked forward cautiously, and comforted the Prime Minister.

"This great Han Dynasty cannot always be protected by you. After all, others will have to take the lead. Prime Minister, you have to relax."

Having said this, Ma Su paused subconsciously, and then continued.

"And as long as I am here, there will be no chaos in the court. It has not been easy for Gongyan after so many years..."

"What I'm most worried about is you!" Zhuge Liang said calmly without looking back.

Ma Su: "..."

"You! Ever since the conquest of Longyou, you have never regained the gentleness of the Rising Sun Chengdu Order. After so many years, what I am most worried about is leaving the government to you!" Zhuge Liang shook his head gently and turned around. Ma Su nodded with his feather fan and said helplessly.

"Gong Yan is still in fashion and can clean up your mess, so you won't make too much trouble. Wen Wei is the only one at the Chancellor's desk now. If I am no longer here, who will escort you?"

As a politician, Zhuge Liang knew very well that negotiation was the core of the court. After all, the purpose of the court's existence is actually to prevent all parties from taking action when they can talk.

Xiang Ma Su has such a jealous temper, if he is really given full authority to accept Shangshutai, he may be able to carry out another Heyin Incident in Chang'an.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's biggest worry about Jiang Wan's death was Ma Su.

However, Ma Di didn't take Zhuge Liang's words to heart at all. He shook his head gently and answered casually,

"Prime Minister, you are worrying too much. In this situation, it is not certain who will leave first..."

"Shut up! I don't want to see another apprentice walking in front of me again!" Zhuge Liang snorted coldly and patted Ma Su on the head with his feather fan.

"From now on, you just have to lead my troops in the Central Army. Take good care of your body. Even if you are just sitting there, you will be a huge support to the big man."

These words are true. For now, Zhuge Liang really hopes that Ma Di can live a few more years.

After all, Ji Han has had huge deterrent power in Guandong in recent years, 80% of which comes from Ma Su. As long as he, the prison-suppressing king, lives, everyone in Guandong will be submissive.

But if he dies, it's not certain whether Kanto can still control it.

It's just that everything else is easy to talk about, but don't let Ma Su seek death... I'm sorry, there's no need to talk about it! !

"Prime Minister! I have my own sense of propriety!" Ma Su cupped his hands, still not taking it seriously.

"You..." Zhuge Liang sighed, but did not continue to say anything.

Everyone has his own pursuit and his own persistence. Therefore, although Zhuge Liang was helpless regarding Ma Su's attitude, he did not force him.

"That's all, you make your own decision... By the way, you said before that you needed talents to train in the Navy. Now there is a person from Jingzhou who happens to have some experience, so let's make do with it."

"Oh? A person from Jingzhou? Who is he?" Ma Su's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

"Luo Xian, from Xiangyang!"

With the funeral for Jiang Wan over, Ma Di basically had nothing to do in Chang'an. However, since it was already December and the New Year was approaching, Ma Su and Zhuge Liang were waiting for the New Year in Chang'an.

When Chang'an had nothing to do, Ma Su took the time to go back to his home. It was also at this time that Ma Su met his wife and children again.

At this time, his own son Ma Ping was about to reach the age of crowning, and Wei Yan personally taught him the art of war and martial arts. When Ma Su returned to his house, he happened to see Ma Ping practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and he was very good with a double-headed gun.

However, when he saw Ma Su coming back, Ma Ping seemed to be frightened, so he put away his gun and ran away, leaving Ma Su confused.

"What's going on? My own son is starting to be afraid...well, it's indeed reasonable." Ma Di was about to complain, but then he remembered how he had treated his wife and children over the years, and he felt relieved.

Starting from the street pavilion, Ma Su kept a respectful distance from the wife and children of the original owner. Ma Su, who was busy seeking death, was obviously not in the mood to teach his children. Moreover, Ma Su himself does not have a very good relationship with his wife. This is essentially a political marriage.

So to Ma Ping, Ma Di may be a familiar stranger.

Although Ma Su didn't care about his wife and children, he couldn't be considered to be completely unfair. Under his protection, Ma Zhongdu had already made an engagement with the second princess and was named a marquis.

But what made Ma Su curious was why Ma Ping practiced martial arts with the double-headed gun he often used? You know, this thing has a great possibility of accidentally injuring yourself, and Ma Su came here for this.

But soon, Ma Su understood, because when he walked into the main hall, he saw his portrait hanging on the top. Based on what he saw before, Ma Su immediately reacted.

"Think about it, this little guy wants to be the second me, right?" Ma Su was a little amused, watching Ma Ping learn from himself and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

You want to die too?

But anyway, suddenly seeing his son start practicing martial arts made Ma Su more interested. After some thought, Ma Su thought of a good way.

"Since this kid wants to go to the battlefield, why not take Ma Ping to Guandong and let him hone his skills on the battlefield?" Ma Su touched his chin and thought.

Although he could provide Ma Ping with food and clothing with his own protection. However, as a descendant of Ma Su, he would be pulled out to work sooner or later in the future.

If he didn't try to train him, it would be bad if Ma Ping became the second Zhuge Zhan.
