Ma Yue returned to Beijing from Henan all the way to report on his work, participated in the court discussion and meritorious service as a partial general, and was rewarded with a pair of fine iron ring armor, gold fifty, and was promoted to the eighteenth rank of the chief of the court. The envy of the generals, the most red-eyed of them is the general He Jin, if these rewards were not made by Ma Yue, they should have been the second brother He Miao's, and this Ma Yue took them away from He Miao!

On the one hand, He Jin was full of unhappiness with Ma Yue, and on the other hand, he was afraid of Ma Yue. This young man who was not enough to stand boasted that the king of Haikou was the head of the thief, and at that time, the civil and military officials in the entire court were waiting for the young man from Liangzhou to return to the court in May and become the laughing stock of the whole world. But I don't want to, Ma Yue said a word, Wang Shizhi, Wang Ding awarded the head.

On the second day, along with the reward, Jian Shuo, who held the appointment order, Ren Jing Zhaoyin, gave the servant, the official rank of 2,000 stones, and the eighteenth-rank lord and chief of the court, participated in the court meeting, and arrived in mid-April.

Jing Zhaoyin, the same position as Taishou, together with Zuo Fengyi and Right Fufeng, is known as Sanfu, and is the governor of Gyeonggi in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was in charge of the administration of the peasants and soldiers in the eleven counties of Chang'an, Xinfeng, Baling, Yangling, Shangluo, Danfeng, Huaxian, Luonan, Weinan, Zhengxian and Duling, and was in charge of the patrol of Wuguan and Shanglinyuan. In addition to governing the people, advancing to the virtuous, adjudicating lawsuits, and prosecuting adultery, they can also appoint and dismiss their own Peng history.

Ma Yue, it is this position that will be taken up.

Three days later, on the day of rest, the Liang Mansion was closed on the surface, but in fact, the guests at home had already sent invitations to various places.

Zhonghuangmen Jian Shuo and redundant from Li Jian Xiyuan cavalry chief Pei Ruo, Changshui captain Yan Xing, Tun cavalry captain Zhao Rong, school secretary Lang Guan Yu, Gucheng Ling Xu Huang, Longguan Commander Yang Feng, will be the supervisor Wang Feng Liu Bad, Zhongchang attendant Zhang Rang, Da Changqiu Zhao Zhong, Taiyi Ling Zhang Feng, Wei Wei Dong Chong, Duxiang Hou Huangfu Song, Shang Shuling Lu Zhi, will be a master craftsman Xixiang Hou Zhu Jun and others were invited, except for Yang Feng was unable to arrive because he was on the front line, the guests were all there. Ma Yue sent more invitations than this, but also Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yang Xiu Xu You and others in Qian County, among which Cao Cao could not be conveyed because he was a guest in the countryside, and the Yang Mansion of Yuan Mansion politely declined the invitation.

No matter what position Ma Yue stands, no matter what he does, the people who should look down on him still look down on him.

Ma Yue welcomed everyone into the mansion, tilted his head and whispered to Jian Shuo: "Brother Jian, have you informed Your Majesty?" ”

"Hmm." Jian Shuo nodded lightly and said, "Your Majesty said that Jun Hao is about to be transferred to Chang'an, and he should meet with the former Shangguan and Paoze, and he can drink some wine." But don't cause trouble. ”

"Well, I know." With Liu Hong's clear instructions, Ma Yue let out a sigh, the identities of these people invited are too sensitive, there are Jiuqing, permanent attendants, and captains in charge of the army, if Liu Hong doesn't know, he will inevitably suffer from suspicion, not to mention that even if he knows, he may not end up.

In the main hall of the Liang Mansion, the hall that seemed empty was relatively placed with two columns of several cases at this time, and Peng Shi led the big men of Luoyang to sit down, although the weather began to warm up, Ma Yu and Ma Ma still wore leather jackets to pour wine and pulp for the guests.

The atmosphere in the hall is a little weird, on the left is a series of eunuchs headed by Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong Jianshuo, and on the right is the three commander-level generals of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi who fought against the Yellow Turban.

Ma Yue didn't dare to sit on the top with a big sting, and he had long expected that this would be the scene when the guests arrived, so he had to bite the bullet and ask Peng Shi to move a few cases below to sit on an equal footing with everyone.

The three famous Han generals who conquered the Yellow Turban were all angry with the eunuchs, Huangfu Song was stripped of his food for reporting the trespassing of Zhao Zhong's mansion, and Lu Zhi was dismissed from his post and almost died in prison for refusing to bribe the eunuchs...... Their hatred is great.

"The condescension of the princes makes the cold house bloom, and it has been several years in Luoyang in a flash, thanks to the care of the princes, Saburo is only today, and now Saburo is about to go to Chang'an, and he is grateful to take care of the fairness, so please come to the dukes, please forgive the dukes for being stupid and tired, so they will do it first." As he spoke, Ma Yue drank the wine bottle in his hand, and Peng Shi on his side hurriedly poured the second bottle of wine.

The ladies in the hall also picked up the wine bottles together, although many of them did not like each other, but most of them had no ill will towards Ma Yue.

Ma Yue walked out of his seat with a wine glass, did not first toast to Zhang Rang or Huangfu Song, moved to the front of the serious case of Tiaohou Dong, bowed down with a wine bottle, and toasted: "In the past, I was a subordinate official of the Tiaohou when I first arrived in Luoyang, thank you for your care, and I hope to continue to get your care in the future." ”

Dong Chong also stood up and smiled at Ma Yue: "The old man still remembers the appearance of Ma Shizhong when he first arrived in my mansion, and within a few years, he was already a feudal official who surprised the old man, but it is also reasonable to use Jun Hao's loyalty and bravery, and he needs to work together for His Majesty in the future, please." ”

To be honest, Ma Yue and Dong Chong didn't have any affection, and Dong Chong didn't help Ma Yue back then, but the common purpose made the two of them drink and talk happily, and some words were already clear in their hearts. Dong Chong is also a relative, as the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, he knew earlier than Ma Yue that his aunt wanted Xiao Liu Xie to succeed to the throne and ascend to the throne, and Ma Yue, a strong rising foreign aid, was naturally the only reason for his friendship.

After being in Luoyang for so long, Ma Yue also knew some secrets, and he understood the position of the silent Dong Zhong in the heart of the Empress Dowager Dong. Dong Chong's father was the late Jin Wu Dong Chong, because the Empress Dowager Dong first entered Yongle and did not know the number of royal etiquette, he had issued an edict and was impeached by the courtiers, that is, Dong Chong lied that he was sentenced to death...... Therefore, Empress Dowager Dong is the most fond of this nephew.

The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word, Ma Yue turned around and walked towards Huangfu Song Lu Zhi Zhu Jun, and toasted: "I am fortunate to feel supreme honored to beg for the thief order under the command of the three generals, and I have given the opportunity to learn from the three generals, and I thank you below." ”

As he spoke, Ma Yue slammed to the ground and drank the wine as he spoke.

"Jun Hao is too modest, you have today thanks to your studious and bravery, so it seems that it doesn't matter much to the old man." Huangfu Song nodded and chuckled, there is another Liangzhou general in the court of Luoyang, this is their luck, Ma Yue is his old acquaintance, the relationship is not close, but it is not far, not to say much.

Zhu Jun smiled and nodded, Shang Shu Ling Lu Zhi picked up the wine glass, glanced at Ma Yue deeply before saying, "San Lang, well done to repair the palace!" This bottle of wine is drunk by the old man, I hope you will do it yourself in the future, don't be inclined to the door, go on the right path, and get the right result. ”

Ma Yue nodded and said, "The kid should keep it in mind. ”

He was full of respect for these three famous generals, although Lu Zhi was unhappy with his proximity to the eunuchs.

Everyone has their own way to go, and the rights and wrongs of all this are traced back from the present, as if they were predestined for a long time, but when he first entered Luoyang, he didn't know where he would end up along the straight Xuanwu Road. He also tried to make friends with the children of the Gongfu and call him a brother and sister, but in the end, he was still one of these eunuchs when he got close to him...... All this may have been predestined a long time ago.

In the majestic city of Luoyang, he could not choose who was his friend or who was his enemy.

All he can do is stick to his heart and do the right thing.

This is his right way.

"Zhang Hou, Zhao Hou...... San Lang is young and ignorant, he has impeached two in the palace, but the two adults are not rude to San Lang, but treat each other with all their hearts, you can't say anything about San Lang's kindness, today is going to leave Chang'an, you can only wish the two of them a good day. ”

For Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Ma Yue has a lot to say, but there is not much he can say, this feeling makes people feel like they are stuck in their throats, but there is nothing they can do.

The corporal of the world pointed out to them, and in Ma Yue's eyes, they were just two poor people with crippled bodies. They have many mistakes in the eyes of others, but there is only one mistake in the eyes of Ma Yue, that is, they should not hold power because of their incomplete limbs.

Regarding Ma Yue's toast, Zhang Rang didn't say much, just pursed his lips and chuckled, hooked up the wine bottle and nodded lightly to Ma Yue. On this occasion, he didn't want to say too much to Ma Yue.

Zhao Zhong was resentful from his stomach, and it was rare for him to go out of the house to a banquet, this Ma Sanlang didn't invite himself to the upper seat, forced a smile, and the wine bottle knocked heavily on a few cases.

This Ma Saburo can't do things anymore!

Ma Yue didn't know what Zhao Zhong was saying, and he didn't think he was angry, but he just bowed down again and then toasted Jian Shuo with a glass of wine.

"Brother Jian, the grace of mutual support......"

Before Ma Yue finished speaking, Jian Shuo waved his hand to drink the wine bottle, and still said with a bullish look: "With so many guests in Junhao Mansion, do you still have to be polite with someone?" Go ahead, it's important to entertain guests. ”

Your Majesty's boss, my second, your third, no one here is in line!

Jian Shuo is Jian Shuo, and he started to ridicule the group with one sentence, and everyone in the court looked at each other, and Zhao Zhong squeezed his eyes angrily. Jian Shuo's implication is that this room is full of guests, only he and Ma Yue are the masters, and he does not need to be respected when he eats and drinks in his own house.

Zhao Zhong sat next to Jian Shuo, but he was not afraid to turn his head to the left and sneered at Zhang Rang: "Look, Jian Huangmen will also walk sideways when he walks to the mansion of the horse attendant." ”

Zhang Rang waved his hand and still chuckled, without saying a word, he knew that Ma Yue and Jian Shuo had some friendship, they had worked together, and the old fox who had gone through the ups and downs of glory and disgrace, like many people here, waited without saying a word to see Ma Yue's reaction.

Ma Yue didn't have time to say anything, Jian Shuo drank all the wine and threw him away, which made Ma Yue a little unhappy, but he still offered it...... Despite this, he still pretended to take back the wine bottle and drank it naturally, and said with a smile: "That brother is at his own convenience." ”

After Jian Shuo, there were outsiders such as Zhang Feng and Zhao Rong of the Northern Army, and he brought a glass of wine with his own family.

He hadn't drunk for a long time, and saluting everyone in turn had already made him a little top-heavy, and he walked back to his seat, clapped his hands gently, and Ma Yu and Ma Ma beckoned the doorman to carry the roasted golden sheep into the court.

Tomorrow he is about to leave for Chang'an and start his days in charge of the ruling party, which is the last happy gathering before leaving.
