Ma Ye

Chapter 5

It took six years, and now he is twenty-two, and he has returned to the capital.

The new emperor came to the throne, and the factions in the imperial court were divided. He was no longer the same as before. He was able to deal with several forces by chance.

The new emperor has a gentle temperament and looks very harmless. If he is an ordinary person, he will definitely get the title of Zhilan Yushu, but in that position, he will be ridiculed secretly for being weak and incompetent.

The new emperor is a puppet emperor, which is recognized by almost everyone.

Empress Dowager Xie took part in the government on the grounds that the new emperor was weak and sick. In the imperial court, the regent King Ning was in charge. Taifu Xie, Shang Shuling Liu Ziqian, and General Xue Qing were not to be outdone.

Everyone regards him as neutral, but only he knows that he belongs to the new emperor faction, the weakest one.

Just because the 25-year-old emperor seemed to be the last clear spring in this quagmire, he took off his disguise with all sincerity, and with a natural majesty, he asked sharply, "Ai Qing, would you like to stabilize the country and society with me?"

Although this country is good, he is only in name.

What made Tan Haozhi willing to devote himself was not the glory and wealth promised by His Majesty after success, but that the emperor's eyes were the cleanest among these powerful people.

In the third year of Anqing, with him as his hand, the emperor gradually consolidated his power in the court. Tan Haozhi has now moved to the right to be the minister and Zuo Cheng, and the official worship is from the third rank.

Empress Dowager Xie became more and more powerful in the court. General Xue Qing, the Great Sima, was dismissed the year before last because of coveting military pay and abusing his power, and the military power was still represented by the Regent.

In the past two years or so, it's not that other factions have secretly wooed him. Tan Haozhi refused very tactfully. He is known for his honesty and integrity. Others only thought he was a stubborn head, so they gave up the wooing.

Tan Haozhi was handsome, young and in a high position, and he was very popular with women in Beijing. Every time he drove to the city, women often threw fruit and melons. Even if they already had wives at home, many women were willing to be concubines.

Last year, the matchmakers tried to break the threshold of Qin's residence, until Tan Hao claimed that he was in love with his wife and refused to take a concubine.

Women in the capital were quite resentful. How could a peasant woman from the Liang family win Master Tan's favorite, probably in exchange for the blessings she cultivated in her eight lifetimes. Many court wives also disliked her associations. It was rumored that she was jealous and rude. Shi didn't care, and stayed in the mansion all day to care for her husband and teach her children.

Suddenly, good news came from the frontier. The Battle of Beimo was successful. The Yufeng Army broke through the border defense of Beimo.

In the near future, the envoys of the Northern Desert Kingdom will go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit with General Yufeng Zhao Heng.

That day the emperor personally greeted the returning soldiers outside the imperial city. Standing behind His Majesty, he watched the black cloud approaching slowly.

General Yufeng wears a bronze mask, only his piercing eyes are exposed, and the hostility all over his body is contained in the armor.

I heard that the general has a birthmark on his face that looks ugly and can make children cry when he sees it. He is regarded as an evil spirit when he walks at night. The general often wears a mask if it does not avoid panic, and no one reminds the general that wearing a mask is beneficial Much is at odds with etiquette.

I thought that General Yufeng would be a burly man with a height of eight feet, but he didn't think that Bachi was a man but very thin. This is the kind of person who led thousands of troops to take the heads of the enemy's army and guard the territory in the yellow sand all over the sky.

As he approached the emperor's chariot, the general dismounted from his horse, his imposing manner was outstanding, his limbs looked slender and powerful, as he strode forward, his every move had the air of a general.

Remembering that before leaving the house today, when Mrs. Liang packed his clothes for him, she excitedly said that today she would take her daughter to the market to watch the return of the God of War. Tan Yueyao's immature face was also full of excitement. Knowing that they admired the general very much, Tan Haozhi couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive Well, he is also working hard day and night for the country and the people, and he has never seen them worship like this.
