Out of Wanjin Hall, Ma Yue walked directly towards the gate of the West Garden without any hesitation, and just walked more than a hundred steps when he saw Pei Ruo on duty.

"Aruo, come here."

Pei Ruo had already seen Ma Yue come to the West Mansion, but when he saw him leaving in a hurry, he thought that His Majesty had summoned him, not to mention that he was on duty and didn't dare to speak, nor did he dare to say hello, but now he was greeted by Ma Yue, and hurriedly trotted all the way towards Ma Yue.

His clan is gone, his younger brother left at home four years ago, and he has nothing to do with those uncles and is not close enough, and he has no relatives in this huge Luoyang city. He also never thought about getting in touch with Ma Yue, a cheap uncle, so he never tried to visit. But he didn't expect that in the end, it was this cheap uncle who could help him stand out from more than a thousand West Garden rides in this city.

"Uncle, oh no, Xiyuan Riding Pei Ruo has seen the counselor."

Seeing Pei Ruo smirking in front of him, Ma Yue raised his hand and knocked lightly towards the slug on his head, and said, "Help me do some serious things, go to the Yellow Gate, tell him that Your Majesty will have an early dynasty tomorrow, and let him be responsible for transmitting the message to the hundred officials." ”

"No!" Pei Ruo raised his leg and was about to run to deliver the message, but Ma Yue reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

"Wait." Ma Yue remembered that Jian Shuo touched the pillar in the pavilion of Liang Mansion, and said that he was such a friend, Ma Yue said: "Tell him, don't get involved in the matter of Chang Shi's greed for ink and wood, if it has been involved, let him not get in my way tomorrow." ”

Pei Ruo listened to this sentence is a burst of cold air from the back of his head to the soles of his feet, wood and stone, and he is always servant...... He is the envoy of the West Garden, of course he knows what Ma Yue is going to do, and even guesses a thing or two about the content of tomorrow's morning dynasty. Standing in front of Ma Yue for a few breaths, he said: "Advice, advice doctor, this matter ......"

"Go do your thing, just spread the word about this matter, don't talk nonsense, tell Jian Shuo, he is my friend."

"No."

Seeing Pei Ruosa's back running away, Ma Yue let out a sigh, he knew that he had added a lot of risks to himself by telling Jian Shuo about this, although he could not say anything. But at this time, he doesn't trust his friends, who else can he trust? If he didn't tell Jian Shuo for the sake of secrecy, he was afraid that the rift between him and Jian Shuo would get bigger and bigger as the situation developed.

Smoothing the anger in his heart, Ma Yue continued to walk towards the door, it was already afternoon at this time, and he still had a lot of things to do before tomorrow morning, and he needed to identify someone who could help him speak tomorrow.

"Stop!"

Ma Yue took two steps away, and then heard a feminine voice from behind, Zhao Zhong's voice was different from Zhang Rang's magnetic majesty, it was a very special voice, it didn't sound annoying, but there was a chill in the tone.

"It's a long autumn." Ma Yue turned his head, as if nothing had happened just now, and said with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with Lord Hou calling Xia Guan, you don't seem to be in a good mood." ”

The Queen's Palace is called Changqiu Palace, and Da Changqiu is also the subordinate official of Changqiu Palace, and Jiuqing is generally an official position of 2,000 stones.

"Doctor, the slaves and the servants have never owed you anything, whether it is when you are selected to go on the expedition, or when you poke out the basket in Dongjun, it is the slaves who intercede for you in front of Your Majesty, why don't you know that it is good to wait for the slaves?"

Zhao Zhong said this with resentment, and it looked like he had been wronged, "In all fairness, the people who appreciate you in this court, except for Liang Tingshi, are slaves, but who provoked the doctor?" ”

"Huh?" Although Ma Yue felt uncomfortable listening to Zhao Zhong's words, he still pretended to be stupid and said, "What is Master Hou referring to?" Did the lower officials offend you in any way? ”

"Do you still want to pretend to be stupid for the slave?" Zhao Zhong looked at Ma Yue and suddenly smiled, and said: "The slaves get together on weekdays, and the favorite thing to talk about is you and Jian Shuo, when it comes to loyalty, you may not be as good as Jian Shuo, but you are much more scheming than Jian Shuo, you don't want to pretend in front of the slaves, you don't stand in the way of our wealth, as long as you join hands with the slaves, it is easy to be a marquis!" Today, you have been in Luoyang for more than two years, and you have not been to the slave mansion once in these two years, and the slave has not been able to drink your cup of warm soup, but the slave still does not blame you, is it a bit too much for you to do? ”

Ma Yue thought that this time he would not be able to get off the stage in front of Liu Hong in front of Zhao Zhong, and as soon as the court meeting opened tomorrow, he was afraid that he would completely offend the ten permanent servants, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhong to think so highly of himself, which suddenly made his heart even more uncomfortable.

"Master Hou, since this is the case, I will tell you the truth, no one provokes me about this matter, but I just think that you and other permanent servants are not doing right, I must stop it, don't worry, the more you look up to Ma, the more honored Ma is, so even if Ma Yue wants to go against you and all the permanent servants, I hope you can understand the reason."

Zhao Zhong lowered his posture, but he was still rejected by Ma Yue, he was a little embarrassed in face, listened to Ma Yue's words, and said patiently: "You say." ”

"Thank you for your willingness to listen, you also know, from my Ma Yue to Luoyang, these legs have not stopped, Sizhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou have been there, along the way you know how many people I have seen displaced, the people have suffered from the war has been miserable, you are a permanent servant, how many things in this world are you can control, why not guide Your Majesty to do something right? I have heard that your riches have been piled up, and that your chariots and horses will be better than the gold market in the west of the city. Isn't that enough? The taxation of the imperial court has reached the limit of many people, don't you think that one Liangzhou rebel is not enough? ”

"Okay, slave knows your reason." Zhao Zhong nodded, as if what Ma Yue said to him touched him a lot, but in a blink of an eye, he raised his head and frowned and asked Ma Yue, "Isn't it just right?" You're going to be a lieutenant again. ”

Ma Yue was stunned, Zhao Zhong actually said the opposite so easily, "Don't you know that people die in war?" ”

"When someone dies, a new general is born, anyway, you don't need to catch the knife in person when you go out on the expedition, just make some meritorious deeds and have slaves to help you, even the Marquis of Wanhu is not a problem! Are you just fighting against slaves for the sake of these untouchables? ”

"Do the children of the common people deserve to die on the battlefield? Aren't you a common man before you enter the palace? Ma Yue was a little annoyed, but still maintained a little dignity and said: "Now that your family has become the Anping clan, you have begun to bully other ordinary people and call them untouchables, is this right?" Da Changqiu, Ma Yue is very sorry, but Ma Yue must stop you and the attendants from coveting money anymore, you are not for money, or you are harming the world! ”

Without waiting for Zhao Zhong to reply, Ma Yue turned around and walked towards the door, and heard Zhao Zhong shouting at his back from behind: "A slave would rather die on the battlefield than to be sent to the palace by his father and brother to be castrated!" If the slave can't die, he will have to die for the slave, but you speak! ”

Ma Yue didn't look back, the eunuchs were just a group of poor people who held great power but were psychologically deformed.
