"Come on, the freshly baked Wanglou Meihua Cave buns, Brother Ma, you have to be careful when eating, there is hot fresh soup in the buns."

At the same time, Ji Yi, Ma Zhi and Zhang Yi were eating buns in a private room in the Wang Building near Zhouqiao Night Market.

The two mixed-race beauties sent by Ji Yi obviously received the effect, and the relationship between him and Ma Zhi and Zhang Yi was instantly brought closer.

Early in the second day of the first lunar month, Ji Yi made an appointment with Ma Zhi and Zhang Yi to Wanglou in the name of delivering the contract of selling his body. He first presented two contracts that symbolized the property rights of a mixed-race beauty, and then invited the two to breakfast.

In the small private room elegant seat, besides Ji Yi, Ma Zhi and Zhang Yi, there are three mixed-race beauties.

Since there are no outsiders, Ji Yi can open the skylight and talk to Ma Zhi.

Ji Yi smiled and said, "Brother Ma is really capable. He came alone, but in just a few months, he had already stirred up the mist of Jinghua. Even today, he knew the name of his second brother. And the brother went north this time, which was actually caused by the second brother. At this point, does the second brother have no idea what to explain to his brother?"

He looked bright: "What are your Ma family in Wulu Mountain? Please tell me clearly to your brother."

After hearing Ji Yi's question, Ma Zhi frowned slightly. In fact, he came only for Wu Haogu Nan, and did not think about establishing a direct contact with the Song Dynasty court. It is a bit embarrassing to say that Ma Zhi worked hard to do this, but in fact it was also for flattery - flattery by the Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty and the heir to the throne of Yelu Yanxi!

Although the Ma family in Yiwulushan and other great families in Yanyun have always had the intention of expelling Liao and restoring Han, as long as they did not raise the banner of rebelling Liao for a day, they would still be ministers of the Great Liao Kingdom. Those who are ministers must work diligently to flatter the king. This is the cultivation of ministers and the dedication of ministers.

The two heads of the Ma family in Yiwulu Mountain, Ma Renwang and Ma Renjie, were both the best among the Han officials in the Northern Dynasty. As Han people, they were able to be the most powerful ministers in the Great Liao ruled by the Khitans, so their flattery skills were naturally top-notch.

The essence of flattery is to give what he likes, so-called "the superior has something to like, there is no need to be even more." The tyrant king of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu, was the treacherous minister, and Zhang Dun, worked hard to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Yelu Hongji, the wise king of the Liao Dynasty, was a Buddhist madman. As a loyal minister of the Liao Dynasty, Ma Renwang, the brothers of Ma Renjie, of course, had to work hard to build temples.

But just building a temple is not enough to highlight the loyalty of the two of them. Who wouldn’t build a temple and eat monks now? If Yelu Hongji hadn’t been very serious about Buddhism, these Liao officials would have shaved their heads and pretended to be monks.

Just when the Ma brothers were sighing because of the flattery, Ximen Qing sent someone to send news that Wu Haogu, the first person in the paintings of the Song Dynasty, was the first person in Wu Haogu.

At that time, Ma Renjie, who was in Yanjing, immediately thought of a way to flatter Yelu Hongji and Yelu Yanxi as the reincarnation of Bodhisattvas.

Yelu Hongji and Yelu Yanxi are both superstitious about Buddhism and particularly believe in the principle of reincarnation. If you see that your previous life is the Bodhisattva and Vajra around the Buddha, you will definitely be very happy.

So I sent Ma Zhi south to invite Wu Haogu, and said it carefully first. If it doesn’t work, ask Ximen Qing to use the beauty trick. If the beauty trick fails, you can tie Wu Haogu to Yanjing.

However, the development of the matter was unexpected. Ma Zhi followed the line of Wu Haogu and actually took the noble man Tong Guan. Ma Zhi and Tong Guan naturally had a violent chemical reaction. As a result, the matter became more and more troublesome, and the treacherous ministers of the Song Dynasty knew that Ma Zhi was like this. They also planned to send secret envoys to meet the head of the Ma family in Yiwulu Mountain.

Ma Zhi smiled bitterly and picked up the tea bowl, "To be honest, my family was also a clan of the Northern Dynasties and was a member of the most powerful minister. Brother Yi, can you tell what the clan is? "

Ji Yi and Zhang Yi nodded.

There were also family members in the Song Dynasty, such as the Cao family, the Pan family, the Gao family, the Wang family, etc., which were family members. The children of the generals intermarried with the Zhao family for generations, and the children in the family could not take the imperial examination and be promoted to the officialdom.

Even Zhang Dun and Cai Jing's family are located. Because they have become famous ministers, many of their children can be promoted to the government without going through the imperial examination, so they are also somewhat of a family. For example, Zhang Yi himself did not pass the Jinshi and was able to get an official with the imperial examination.

However, in the Song Dynasty, the civil servants who were brought to the imperial examinations could not be compared with those who were admitted to the imperial examinations in their official careers. Otherwise, Zhang Yi would not have been a big official for so many years.

In the Liao Kingdom, although there are imperial examinations, the officials who have been tested have no advantages in their careers. The Liao Kingdom originally valued martial arts and over literature, while the Liao Kingdom only had civil examinations but no military examinations. Military officers were selected by the world and were given favors. Naturally, there was no reason why the imperial examinations were superior to others.

In addition, since the Emperor of Liao attached little importance to the imperial examination and only regarded it as a means to win over the Han family, he naturally was too lazy to care about fraud in the imperial examination... This matter was originally a funeral for the Han tribe, so why bother to be serious?

Therefore, most of the Jinshi in the Liao Kingdom came from more than a dozen or twenty Han tribes led by the four major Han families. The rise of poor families and the counterattack of the diabolical sects, etc., should not even think about it in the Liao Kingdom.

Ma Zhi continued, "Since you two know what the aristocratic family is, then you can tell me, can the official family of the Song Dynasty give Yanyun aristocratic family aristocratic family aristocratic family?"

This is a very realistic problem!

Yanyun's Han family was doing well in the Liao Kingdom - the system of the Great Liao Kingdom protects the interests of the aristocratic families.

On the contrary, the system of the Song Dynasty restricted the family! The Song Dynasty was truly in power by civil officials from the imperial examinations, and the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty were relatively rigorous and did not compete with their fathers.

In this case, why did Yanyun’s Han clan help the Song Dynasty, which restricts its own interests deal with the Liao Dynasty, which protects its own interests?

Of course, the decline of the Liao Kingdom itself is the main reason why the Han family in Yanyun has developed a strange intention. No matter how beneficial the Liao Kingdom's system is to the aristocratic family, it is still empty if it cannot survive.

However, this does not mean that the Han family in Yanyun wants to work hard for the Song Dynasty. This matter... after all, there are risks. Without considerable benefits, who is willing to follow?

Ji Yi looked at Ma Zhi and spit out two words: "Fang Zhen!"

Fangzhen is a vassal state, dominating one side and not being controlled by the court. The Zhenzheng father and son attacked him. In fact, it is an independent kingdom!

Ma Zhi nodded and smiled and said, "If you get the title of Fang Zhen, just wait for the chaos in the northern border of Liao, the Yanyun families will be used by the Song Dynasty. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers and millions of stones of military ration can be obtained in an instant. The imperial court only needs a brigade army and tens of millions of copper coins to restore all the sixteen states of Yanyun, the land of western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning."

This is indeed a feasible solution. In this way, the land and the people are firmly controlled by the powerful and powerful families, and the powerful families have a very powerful force as the basic force. Therefore, the powerful and powerful families can easily mobilize and organize a huge army to echo the Song army's Northern Expedition.

Therefore, as long as the Song Dynasty could provide conditions to satisfy the Yanyun family, it would be easy to recover Yanyun when the Liao Kingdom was in crisis.

But the question is, can the court seal a lot of Fangzhen out?

Ji Yi changed his eyes with Zhang Yi at the moment, and neither of them was sure.

Zhang Yi asked again: "Brother Ma, what if the court refused to be in Yanyun Dafengfang Town?"

Refused?

The expression on Ma Zhi's face changed slightly. If he refused, things would be difficult to deal with!

The powerful Yanyun was not a Song Dynasty man. Their homeland in their dreams was the Tang Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty, and their ideas were different from those of the Song Dynasty. The reason why a good man is singing outside Donghua Gate is a good man, and they cannot understand it.

After thinking for a while, Ma Zhi smiled bitterly: "If the court refuses, then as long as the imperial soldiers enter Yanyun, the powerful people from all over the country will still surrender, but..."

Seeing Ma Zhi hesitate, Ji Yi asked, "It's just what's the point?"

Ma Zhi sighed and smiled bitterly: "It's just that without Fang Zhenzhifeng, you can't expect others to sacrifice their lives to help you."

In other words, if the Song Dynasty conferred the title of everyone as the governor, then everyone would help each other - after all, the territory they captured belongs to their own family, so how could they not be exhausted? So when the Song army was watching the show, they would fight to the death.

If there was no Fang Zhenjieshen who could do it, then everyone would not be enemies with the Song Dynasty, and it would be okay to be a bunch of fence-bearers.

Ji Yi nodded and looked at Zhang Yi again. Ma Zhi was quite happy and showed his trump card at once. Now it depends on how the emperor and Zhang Gong of the current dynasty choose.

...

"Chongdao, Yuanhui, I have seen the ability of you two. It is very good to manage Christie's in such a short time. It is only possible to do this. It is very good, very good."

Wu Haogu and Mi Youren had already met Cai Jing at this time, and they were still as friendly as ever. They even invited the two of them to eat delicious crab roe buns. They didn't look like treacherous officials? They were definitely an old man next door.

After a few words of praise, Mr. Cai once again taught the two younger generations seriously: "But you can't devote all your energy to business. After all, our dynasty is the first priority. Chongdao, when you return to Liao, you must study hard. Otherwise, you won't be able to try the lock hall at the end of the year."

Only officials can take the exam in the lock hall test. What Cai Jing said is that Wu Haogu will definitely be an official by the end of the year.

Wu Haogu shook his head and said, "Bachelor, the late student has shallow knowledge and is not very good at literary."

Cai Jing was stunned, "How could it be? Did you write that 'What is love in the world? It's just that you can't write about life and death?'? It's so well written, why can't you write?"

That was copied!

Of course, Wu Haogu could not tell the truth to Cai Jing, but said: "I have no talent in the meaning of the scriptures later..."
Chapter completed!
