Chapter 114 Reward Event

Changle Palace, Chang'an Imperial City.

On the huge palace, Ma Chao led civil and military officials to worship in unison: "I will bow to the Empress Dowager Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thous

Under the curtain of the main palace, Empress Dowager He was wearing a red robe and sat upright, and said aloud with a majestic look on her face: "Stand flat, please sit!"

Since He Hou entered the palace to listen to the government, Diao Chan was then appointed as her female official of the Shangshu and became the head of the Changle Palace. Now the palace no longer has the product of eunuchs. At this moment, under the instructions of He Hou, Diao Chan took the imperial edict and walked to the steps, saying, "The Queen Mother's will!"

As a minister, Ma Chao did not like red tape, but at such court meetings, it was mainly about rewards, so Ma Chao must be respectful and lead all the generals to listen to the title according to etiquette.

"The Empress Dowager has an order, and the governor of Liangzhou, Ma Teng, was granted the title of Qinhou, and was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, and was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou. I am here."

"The Taifu Ma Chao, who has made great contributions to the fight against the thieves, recovered lost territories, and has good governance. He was specially appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, took over the position of general in Zhenbei, and established an official in the government. I admire this!"

"Guo Jia and Jia Xu made great contributions in planning and were specially appointed as the General of the Left and Right Military Advisors."

"Capt Zhang Liao as General Yingyang!"

"Capt Pang De as General Xiong Wu!"

"Capt Zhao Yun as General Longwu!"

"Capt Gaoshun as General Hu Ben!"

"Fei Zhang He is the General of Yulin!"

"Feng Gaolan is the general of the guard!"

All the generals and officials of Ma Chao were rewarded, and Ma Chao was like Jia Xu and Guo Jia wished that he was named the governor of Yongzhou. The most outstanding one was Ma Teng, who became the marquis of Qin.

When Ma Chao heard this series of reward lists, he was a little surprised. These official positions were not the list he planned, and obviously they were not the list He Hou planned. After thinking about it, Ma Chao said that the biggest possibility was the masterpiece of Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

The two of them did this not because they were keen on rights, but to allow Ma Chao to better concentrate rights and thus achieve the passage of government orders.

After Ma Chao was granted the title of the governor of Yongzhou, his troops under his command would no longer need to ask Ma Teng for orders, thus becoming the government that was born. This is exactly what Guo Jia and Jia Xu wanted to see.

"From now on, all government affairs in Yongzhou will be handed over to the prefecture and the governor's office. The Ma Qing family can report directly to our palace. If nothing else happens in the future, the palace will not be in the court." After the imperial edict was issued, Empress Dowager He stood up and shouted.

"Retreat!" Diao Chan sang a promise with a crisp voice.

Ma Chao and the generals knelt down and thanked each other. After Queen He left, Ma Chao did not wait for the generals to come to congratulate him, and then said, "Go to the lobby of the provincial and ministerial palace to discuss matters."

Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others saw Ma Chao leave, and knew that he was worried about what he was doing today, but they thought they had done nothing wrong with this. As counselors, as long as they did not damage the interests of the master, even if they were punished, they had to do it.

The fact that they pushed Ma Chao to the top was not to harm Ma Chao's interests, so they also had a clear conscience. When the two drafted this edict and sent someone to hand it to the female official Diao Chan, they gave it to him under the name of Ma Chao.

The four generals Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and Zhang He in the hall did not know the inside story. When they met Ma Chao, they could not help but feel a little strange.

But they saw Guo Jia and Jia Xu whispering and discussing what happened, so they didn't dare to come forward to ask, and everyone left one after another.

When Ma Chao arrived at the palace gate, he took the snow-shaded horse led by Zou Fei, flew onto the horse, and without saying hello, he shouted: "Go!"

The snow-shaded horse jumped up and headed straight to the north gate. As the land of the Han imperial city, there were naturally no ordinary pedestrians. This is also the reason why Ma Chao was able to run on a horse.

Cai Yan saw that Ma Chao was unhappy and hurriedly said in a sweet voice: "Sister Fei, let's follow you quickly."

During this period, the two girls have been practicing horse and swordsmanship and have also read some military tactics. Although they are not as good as masters, they have learned all the skills of self-protection.

At that time, Zou Fei learned sword skills from Ma Chao's personal soldiers, while Cai Yan learned them with Cai Xin. This is also the reason why the two daughters were able to compete when they met in the first year of junior high school.

After Ma Chao ran away for a while, he found the two women chasing him. He then slowed down his horse's stance and went out of the north gate to Shanglinyuan.

When the two women chased out of the north gate, they caught up with Ma Chao. Cai Yan was driving the horse and riding Ma Chao together, and said softly: "Brother Meng Qi, look at how good the chestnut millet in the fields is growing now. In another month, it will be harvested. At that time, the grain will be harvested and everything can be solved."

Ma Chao looked at the foot of the mountain, and saw the plains that could not be seen at first sight. The green green grass in the fields was undulating like waves under the autumn wind, and everything seemed to be full of vitality.

"...ah!" Ma Chao let out a long roar and took a deep breath. Thinking about what he had just happened, now that although he felt that there was something right, they were obviously still devoted to themselves. After Ma Chao adjusted his emotions, he looked back at the second girl and smiled: "For the past three months, you two have worked hard with me. When the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, I will give you military pay and ask you to buy something you like!"

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated on August 15th. Today is the first day of August. There are more than ten days left. Then I have to think about it." Cai Yan calculated with his fingers, quietly peeked at Ma Chao's feet, and thought to himself: Brother Meng Qi's shoes are almost worn out. Then I will buy some fabrics and make a pair of shoes for him.

Zou Fei held his mouth and said, "General, I read the account book on your case. The coins in stock are less than 500,000 yuan. There are still many things to do now. We have nothing to buy, and it doesn't matter if we don't pay military pay."

Ma Chao stepped off his horse and led the war horse and smiled, "What I paid to you is my own military pay, the money in the warehouse, and now the money in and out of the penny must be allowed by Lord Zhang Ji. Even if I, the young master, would always take it randomly."

Speaking of the coins in the treasury, Ma Chao couldn't help but think of the food and grass. In early July, Zhang He brought back one month of grain, and then his cousin Ma Yi lived up to his responsibilities and opened up the joints of Hanzhong. In the past half month, he has transported back 100,000 stones of grain one after another, which has finally completely solved the problem of food continuity in Yongzhou.

With this batch of grain, it will be able to last until mid-next month. By then, the new grain will also enter the harvest season, which means that the most spent days in Yongzhou will be about to end. However, in reality, it is obviously not as satisfactory as Ma Chao imagined.

"Hehe, if the general pays money, that little woman can be at ease." Zou Fei laughed strangely softly.
