In the fifth year of Zhongping, in April, Shangshu ordered Liang Hu to return to his hometown on the grounds of old age, and Liu Hong promised to be removed from his official position, but stayed in Luoyang on the grounds of Liangzhou's border troubles, and gave him 500 gold.

Ma Yue stayed in a special cell in the Huangmen Beisi Prison, where pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and military writing policies were readily available.

In the same month, the governor of Longguan hung up the seal and left, and lived in the Liang Mansion for thousands of miles, delivering food to the Huangmen Prison every day.

Liu Hong had no intention of releasing Ma Yue, but he did not prohibit the family generals from visiting.

In May, Pei Mao, who was also Shang Shuling, resigned, Liu Hong agreed, and in the same month, he issued an edict to pardon Cai Yong, who was hiding in Wu County.

The wry smile on Ma Yue's face gradually became calm, and he survived the entire spring and summer in prison.

At the beginning of September, Yang Feng once again walked into the Huangmen Temple, this time with unusual news.

"Lord, the general said that Your Majesty, General Chen Tianzi can settle the world, Your Majesty will build a high platform in the West Garden, Ma Riyan will be promoted to the position of captain, Jian Shuo will start to recruit new troops, and he wants to establish the eighth lieutenant in the West Garden!"

Ma Yue narrowed his eyes, and with a shake of his hand, he put the book on the table, "Eighth Captain?" ”

Eighth Captain! His Majesty is finally going to establish the eighth lieutenant, and Ma Yue waited until he had a beard under his chin, and finally waited for this day.

"Haha!" In the silent and uninhabited Yellow Gate Prison, there was a sudden unsuppressed laughter, "This eighth lieutenant can be regarded as established!" ”

Ma Yue's face is wild, he has been dormant for several years, Jumushi is expected in the township, the Yang Party has gained a loud prestige, and everyone in the Seven Armies and the Five Departments of the Seventh Army knows Ma Junhao, isn't it just such a day? Your Majesty is going to set up the eighth captain, and after hiding himself in the snow for half a year, will the day when he see the light of day be far away? After being released from prison this time, I will never come back in again in this life.

This time I am out of prison, and no one in the world can lock me up Ma Yue!

"My lord, Ah Ruo doesn't understand, this Eighth Lieutenant is obviously a matter of dispersing the military power of the shogunate, why does the general want to talk to Your Majesty about this?"

"Haha, Ah Ruo doesn't understand." Ma Yue smiled and said: "Look at the appearance of the imperial court now, the Taiwei Mansion has long lost its popularity, and the Situ Mansion is not too much." All the talented people of the world entered the shogunate. The younger generation of Bao Xin and Shanyang celebrities Wang Qian, in addition to the people who lifted the ban on the party, are Qingliu celebrities, and they are all famous. What Xun Yu Xun Gongda, Hua Xin Hua Ziyu, Zheng Tai Zheng Gongye, Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng, Zhou Bi, Zhou Zhongyuan, Wufu Wood Yu, Chen Lin, Chen Kongzhang, Tian Feng, Yuan Hao, Xiao Ji Yuantu, Kuai Yue, Kuai Yidu, Kong Ling, Kong Gongxu, Yuan Yi, Yuan Boye, Hu Muban, Hu Mu Ji Pi, Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang, Wang Gongjie, Huan Dian Huan Gongya, Kong Rong, Kong Wenju...... The virtuous people are all over, and the minister's mansion is inferior. It's more like the imperial court than the imperial court, can Your Majesty rest assured of him? ”

"He has to delegate power, first of all, he must reassure His Majesty, he has to relinquish military power...... Only by putting the soldier in the hands of His Majesty can you rest assured. Ma Yue's eyebrows fluttered and spit out a belly of names, eagerly took Yang Feng's hand and said, "Ah Ruo, tell me quickly, who are the eight captains, Your Majesty can let me lead the troops?" What kind of official position will Your Majesty give me? It is unlikely that he will become a military captain, and eighty percent of that is the position of Jian Shuo...... A Chinese army or a lower army can't run away, Ah Ruo tell me quickly! ”

"This ......" Yang Feng looked embarrassed, he didn't understand why Ma Yue was so enthusiastic about the position of captain, and said hesitantly: "Lord, it's right that the captain of the military is a master. The lieutenant of the middle military academy is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the lieutenant of the lower military academy is Bao Hong, the lieutenant of the military academy Cao Mengde, the left colonel Zhao Rong, the right colonel Feng Fang, the left lieutenant Xia Mou, and the right lieutenant Chun Yuqiong. After a pause, Yang Feng said: "Lord, Eighth Captain, without you." ”

The lord, the eighth lieutenant, without you.

The lord, the eighth lieutenant, without you.

"No, no me?" Ma Yue pointed to his nose and took two steps back, his sturdy back slamming against the wooden bars of the prison, and he fell to the ground in despair. "Why, how could it be without me? Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the Huangmen Temple is still holding me? I, I'm Ma Yue, the invincible Ma Yue! ”

"It can't be! No way! Ma Yue's face twisted and roared: "How could the eighth lieutenant not have me!" Which leader of those wine bags and rice bags can surpass me, Jian Shuo, just his mother is a eunuch who supervises the army for me, Zhao Rong still has to listen to my command, why are they the eighth captain? Why, what! ”

Carefully planned, hiding clumsy and hiding the front, Lao Tzu tried to make an eighth captain, in the future, he could ensure that the little prince ascended the throne, and slaughtered the world for him before the little prince grew up, and dispelled all the clouds and mist in the world, so that he would reign in the world!

Your Majesty, Ma Yue didn't want to take away your country, nor did he want to go along with the eunuchs and look down on the reputation of the scholars, isn't that enough? Why didn't even the soldiers let the horses cross their hands in the end?

"This, why the hell is this! Is it because of this bar, because of this bar? Ma Yue got up suddenly, kicked on the wooden fence in general vent, and the thick wooden pillar at the mouth of the bowl closed ordinary people, but where did Ma Yue live in Liangzhou Xiaojun? There was a crisp sound on a single foot, and the wooden pillar with a thick calf broke in response, and with the strength of the two arms, it actually tore off two giant logs, and suddenly the closed cell was vacant for the width of one person.

"Lord, lord, what are you doing here?"

Ma Yue took a step and walked out, what Huangmen North Temple, what Luoyang City, Lao Tzu wants to go back to Liangzhou, go to your mother, Han Room? Lao Tzu is not guaranteed!

"I'm going back to Liangzhou, go out and prepare a horse and a knife for me, what a bullshit eighth lieutenant, I won't play with them anymore! Let's go home...... Kill back to Liangzhou! ”

Yang Feng was shocked when he heard this, although he still didn't understand why Ma Yue valued the Eighth Captain so much, and he was so disappointed when he learned that the Eighth Captain didn't have him, but he knew that the Lord was afraid that he was crazy, if he didn't stop him, the blood in the two palaces that the Qi Hope Master said might be true. Hurriedly took three steps and two steps, grabbed Ma Yue's arm and shouted: "Lord, you will be a traitor if you go out!" Years of hard work have been wasted, do you want to involve Lord Liang and Brother Shoucheng to defect together? ”

Ma Yue turned his head and met Yang Feng's eyes coldly, and it was this disobedient look in his eyes, which was the same as Yang Aruo, who wanted to ride a horse and take himself as a deserter on the Jizhou battlefield.

"Ah Ruo, you let go, such a filthy place, betrayal is betrayal! Haven't my hard work been wasted now? ”

"Lord, no, you just don't think about others, you have to think about Miss Cai." Yang Feng paused, he didn't dare to tell Ma Yue about it, Cai Yan went to Luo with Cai Yong in May this year, and Gan Ning came with him. Liang Hu was afraid that Ma Yue would know about Cai Yan's coming to Luo, which would make Ma Yue anxious, and ordered Yang Feng not to say it.

But at this moment, he can't afford to say anything.

"Yan'er, Yan'er is here?"

Yang Feng watched the expression on Ma Yue's face gradually calm down, Yang Feng nodded hurriedly, and said: "Miss Cai is here, just wait for you to go out to get married, the boss will let you wait, don't worry, it is His Majesty who pardoned Mr. Cai, it will not be too late for you to go out, don't worry, the eighth lieutenant of Raushzi, just don't do it, do you think, what did you do for our supervising army and those who obeyed the order, then you can't have a higher official position waiting for you when you go out." ”

Cai Yan's name is like a basin of cold water, dousing the anger in his heart.

This long-ago name wanted to open the floodgates in his mind, and with the torrent of memories gushing out, Ma Yue stopped the sadness in his heart.

The days when I couldn't even eat in Wu Di survived, what else could I not get by!

Ma Yue took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a long time before suppressing the depression in his heart, took a long breath, and before he could speak, the hell guard of Huangmen Temple had already broken into the door with a knife, and pointed to Ma Yue outside the cell tremblingly and said: "Ma, General Ma, what do you want to do, don't make it difficult for the little ones." ”

"Huh." Ma Yue snorted softly with an expressionless crooked mouth, looked at the few jailers who pretended to be calm, and said lightly: "I was looking for you, I dreamed that I kicked the cell badly, and I changed it." ”

Ma Yue finally sat in the prison, changed to a new cell, the same window, three feet of sunlight shining in from the outside, the jailers carried a few cases and books according to the position of the original cell, did not dare to make any mistakes, this is relying on real military merits to ascend to the position of the general, although there are more nobles detained in the Huangmen North Temple Prison, but I really don't see anyone sleeping can kick the cell bad, obediently, this master can break the cell when he sleeps, if he is awake, it is not pleasing to the eye?

That's hard to think about.

Yang Feng left, Ma Yue had no intention of reading, and sat in the dark corner of the cell, like a mountain without green trees.

The fog ahead made him unable to see the direction clearly, could it be that there has been no good result in the past seven years of depression? Or is it that he was nothing more than a pawn in the beginning, but today he has been abandoned? Ma Yue, who calmed down, shook his head, his ability was almost revealed at a glance, it is not that there are no such people in the court, but the ability to be stronger than Ma Yue is due to the fatigue of the clan faction, and with Liu Hongzhi's wisdom and intelligence, it will be clear that those people will not do things for him. When it comes to major events, Liu Hong always has to rely on himself, except for Jian Shuo, he can't do it without a horse.

Maybe Yang Feng is right, he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks when he goes out in the future, but the question is whether he can still get out? Even if he goes out, this year, the world is going to be really chaotic, and when Dong Zhuo comes, he will definitely have a good official position, but when the dust really settles, can he still sit down?

In fact, Ma Yue didn't know that Liu Hong was not afraid that he was small, but Liu Hong had to do something to give his son a smooth transition. Liu Hong is afraid that Ma Yue's ability is too great, and now the situation between the DPRK and China is clear, when the emperor made it clear that he wanted to fight for power with the shogunate, Jian Shuo was released to fight wits and courage with the sages of the world in the shogunate, if Jian Shuo did not resist the temptation to vote for the general's mansion, Liu Hong at least had such a killer weapon as Ma Yue, and there was a chance to move back.

But if both of them are released, Jian Shuo did not betray Ma Yue, but betrayed His Majesty and went to the General's Mansion...... In terms of the courage of the army, Jian Shuo can be too bad for Ma Yue, and Liu Hongke will not be able to win at that time.

Jian Shuo is a eunuch anyway, because he has a personal enmity with Cao Cao, Liu Hong is not afraid of his betrayal. Ma Yue is innocent, although he is not far from the eunuchs, he has done several major things over the years, and it is not difficult to accept it in the general's mansion.

Liu Hong can calculate this account.

He would rather let a dead horse go to the prison cell and rot more than let a live horse run to the general's mansion to be a pioneer.
