Chapter 5 The palace gate holds a halberd

On this day, the morning dynasty.

Ma Yue led twenty halberd-wielding guards to stand outside the palace gate, the morning sun was rising, and the entire Luoyang Emperor had just woken up from the sound of roosters.

Recently, there has been a right capital Hou Pan Yin with a familiar work, Ma Yue has a little understanding of his own functions, left and right are waiting for the sword and halberd, inspecting the palace gate and responsible for the safety of the court. Anyway, it's also a large internal guard, and the equipment is very luxurious.

Zhang Er's long halberd, finely forged Han sword, red lined leather armor, and a red green banner as a decoration.

There is also a leather helmet with a square insignia on the back of the helmet for use in wartime.

The emblem and flag are the marks that every soldier and officer has, and in the Han army's battles, through the golden drum, the flag, and the emblem, these three points form a set of command system to control the soldiers under their command.

As the left capital candidate, Ma Yue has 28 subordinate officers and 388 guards under his command.

The treatment is good, but the equivalent is more hard, the left and right are waiting for the rest in turns, and no one can rest for a day and a night.

Fortunately, the old men who came down from the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and sleepless day and night is not a big deal for him, and he looks more energetic than those ministers in the early morning.

"San Lang, do you have time today?"

At the end of the court meeting, the ministers came out one after another, and suddenly heard someone calling him, Ma Yue turned his head and saw that it was Cao Cao.

Ma Yue has been in the position of Zuo Duhou for a month, although he still hasn't seen the emperor, but the ministers below are all familiar, at least everyone knows that the foreman of the palace halberd has changed his role.

Eight hundred palace guards, the only Scarface young man from Liangzhou, no semicolon.

Some people are dismissive of him, and some people are slightly affectionate, Cao Cao belongs to the latter.

Cao Cao's kindness, coupled with Ma Yue's deliberate welcome, the two already have a good friendship.

Ma Yue nodded slightly, not squinting.

Cao Cao nodded lightly and was expressionless, and walked straight towards the palace gate. Of course, this is not that Ma Yue looks down on people, Ma Yue in Liangzhou does not look down on anyone, and when he arrives in Luoyang, he is not qualified to despise others at all, not to mention that this is Cao Cao, others don't know, he Ma San is very clear in his heart, this man with a black face and slender eyes is the future Emperor Wei Wu.

Less than half an hour after the end of the court meeting, Pan Yin's clothes and armor neatly led the guards to change shifts with Ma Yue, and Ma Yue's helmet was too late to be removed, so he hurriedly ran to Kaiyang Gate.

Far away, Ma Yue saw Cao Cao holding the horse and waiting for him.

Running closer, Ma Yue said with a smile while unpacking his helmet: "It's not that I'm going to Yuan's house as a guest today, how can my brother have time to mess with me." ”

Cao Cao changed into a cloth suit, and when he saw Ma Yue coming, his face was a little pleasant, and he waved his hand and did not speak.

Ma Yue greeted the guards guarding the palace gate with a smile, and asked Cao Cao, "Talk while walking?" ”

"Well, let's talk as we go."

The two got on their horses and walked slowly, there were no pedestrians on the streets early in the morning, and the carriages of the officials attending the court meeting had returned half an hour earlier, so the streets were very clean.

"At the beginning of the year, His Majesty ordered the Minister to report the assassins in various places and the county guards who were greedy for money and harmed the people, has San Lang heard of this?"

Ma Yue didn't know much about this kind of thing, but Pan Yin had told him about the emperor's edict at that time, and Ma Yue nodded and said, "I heard that Taiwei Xu is in charge of investigating it?" ”

"Hmph, it's not just him. There is also Sikong Zhang Ji, I don't know whose benefits these two people received, and reported more than 20 small county officials who are upright officials, no, a few days ago, the twenty-six border county officials jointly played, asking His Majesty to return their innocence, Taiwei Sikong did something wrong. ”

These things were so common for Cao Cao to say from his mouth, but they were too far away for Ma Yue.

Ma Yue smiled embarrassedly and said: "I don't really understand these adult things that Brother Cao said, I only know that the little officials in the border counties are not good to be, and they suffer such unwarranted disasters, they shouldn't be." ”

Cao Cao was not rude to Ma Yue, raised his horse whip and smiled at Ma Yue: "San Lang should know more, learn these things, if you are in Luoyang, you should be familiar with the affairs of the court." ”

"Yes, yes." Ma Yue shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother hasn't told me yet, why don't you go to Yuan's house as a guest today." ”

Cao Cao said: "What did you do in the past, this incident that happened in the court, those people have to mention what eunuchs will annoy people, it is better to ask you to go to Cai and steal a teacher, and learn two strokes." ”

Ma Yue learned from Liang Hu from the eight-point penmanship can already be a teacher, Liang Hu recommended him to Cai Yong to learn to fly white body, with a public office in the body Ma Yue to Cai Mansion is not diligent, but it is more legitimate to carry him to let Cao Cao come to the door.

Cao Cao is a wonderful person, loves music, loves writing and poetry, although he is considered to be not doing his job in contemporary times, but in Ma Yue, Cao Cao is an all-rounder.

"It's naturally not difficult for my brother to learn two strokes and eight points, Uncle Cai likes studious young juniors like my brother, but it's just ......" Ma Yue straightened his color and said seriously: "Does the Yuan family look down on my brother, so why do you want to walk with them." ”

Cao Cao shook his head, the horse paced lightly, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I was originally treated with sincerity, but Zhang Miao Xu always talked about things after the eunuchs, and he didn't mention it." ”

Ma Yue looked sideways and asked, "Aren't Xu You and his brother childhood playmates, how can they say so maliciously?" ”

Now it was Cao Cao's turn to be surprised, and said with a smile: "Where did San Lang hear that Xu You and I were childhood playmates, but what Miaocai said?" Xu You and I only got acquainted a few years ago, and we became friends in general. ”

"Oh, yes, hehe, I forgot where I heard it." Ma Yue smiled and touched his head, this romance is harmful, who said that Xu You and Cao Cao are children, and they are not far from Cai's Mansion and Liang Mansion, Ma Yue hurriedly put aside the topic and said: "Let's go, brother, it's still early, it's not time to visit Mr. Cai, it's better to go to my master's house and sit down." ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately grabbed Ma Yue and asked, "San Lang, my brother asked you something, this Liang everyone...... Can you get Mobao again? ”

Cao Cao's eyebrows couldn't stop stirring when he said this, and his eyes were narrowed into a line, putting aside the historical cognition, Cao Cao's brother can be regarded as the most appetizing person among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms he has met except for Guan Yuma playing Yang Aruo, who loves calligraphy, loves music, is good at martial arts, understands Tao strategy, is not proud of his family background, and is a positive and sunny young man.

It's hard not to admire such a man.

Ma Yue turned over and dismounted, took the reins of himself and Cao Cao and handed them to the Zhuang Ke at the door, turned his head and glanced at Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "Sir's Mobao, my brother will go to Mr. to ask for it, and Mr. will not refuse you." ”

At the beginning, Liang Hu told Ma Yue about the two forces in Luoyang, Qingliu and the eunuchs. Among the two forces, there are still some people, just like the eunuchs like the Cao family, Ma Yue's backer Liang Hu, who steals high positions from the side door and left the way, is not liked by Qingliu and is not trusted by the eunuchs.
