As a secretary of the ministry, Ma Wensheng's status and qualifications are unparalleled, Jingtai two years, Ma Wensheng was promoted to the rank and first, awarded to supervise the imperial history. According to Shanxi and Huguang, he moved to Fujian according to the inspection envoy, and became the left deputy capital of the imperial history, the right servant of the military department, and served as the governor of Liaodong, and moved to the right capital of the imperial history, the governor of Shaanxi, and the governor of Caoyun. Three dynasties. is a real veteran of the Three Dynasties, and Ma Wensheng is not the kind of person who relies on time to stay up for qualifications.

Whether it is an official or leading a soldier, Ma Wensheng is very meritorious, and he is also very trusted by Zhu Youzhang.

In fact, Zhu Youzhu attaches great importance to Ma Wensheng, even more important than Liu Daxia, if it weren't for Ma Wensheng's promotion to the secretary of the ministry, Zhu Houzhao would have wanted Ma Wensheng to be promoted to the staff office and take charge of the staff office for him. However, Ma Wensheng's status is too important, the secretary is still the secretary, you must know that this is the highest official position that a non-Hanlin official can do.

The official department is in charge of official information and personnel appointment and dismissal, affecting the career of many officials, because of its importance to become the first of the six books, known as the heavenly official.

In the Ming Dynasty, all officials below the fourth grade can be appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Officials, what kind of authority is this? is simply the official hat of the officials in charge of the world, how high the status, how heavy the official position, and how great the power. If Zhu Houzhao went to his father to ask for Ma Wensheng, he would definitely be scolded by his father, so Zhu Houzhao didn't have this idea.

"Horse Master!" When Zhu Houzhao saw Ma Wensheng, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, bowed to Ma Wensheng, and treated him with a teacher's courtesy.

Ma Wensheng was taken aback, the important ministers of the court all have titles, and Ma Wensheng naturally has it, he is a young master and a prince. The young master in front, that is not His Majesty's young master, is one of the three young masters, and the prince and prince in the back, that is for the prince, this honor has been very rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which shows the high status of Ma Wensheng.

However, these are all false titles, especially this prince and teacher, Ma Wensheng has never taught the prince and has never been the prince's teacher.

For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his own family, Ma Wensheng does not dare to underestimate him at all, if anyone despises him because he is young, then your fate will not be good. After many years of ups and downs in the sea, Ma Wensheng naturally has a thorough understanding of officialdom, as the so-called courtesy must be demanded from people, especially a high-ranking and powerful person, they are courteous to you, and the bigger the things you do, the more difficult it will be.

If someone suddenly treats you well and suddenly becomes close to you, then you have to be careful, especially someone with a much higher status than you, otherwise you are afraid that you will be sold.

Ma Wensheng hurriedly bowed down, his body trembled, looking old and faint, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have killed the old minister, the old minister is old and frail, his head and eyes are dizzy, if there is any rudeness, I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will forgive his sins." He shook as he spoke, looking like he might fall to the ground at any moment.

Zhu Houzhao didn't feel embarrassed when he saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Ma Wensheng, and said with concern: "Master Ma is not feeling well? The palace went to ask the father to play, and asked the father to send the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat the horse master, and the palace had some good supplements for the palace, and the palace sent someone to the horse master to send it home. ”

"Master Ma is an important minister of the country, and he is deeply trusted by his father, and this body is to be taken care of!" Zhu Houzhao's words are sincere.

The old fox, although Zhu Houzhao smiled brightly on his face, he almost scolded in his heart, although this old guy is not young, his body is not as healthy as he said, but it is far from the point of dizziness, and his body is shaking, looking like he is going to faint, this old guy is in ambush.

Once he said something he didn't want to hear, he directly pretended to be deaf and couldn't hear, and he had to say that this old guy would definitely pretend to be sick and faint, and then go back to recuperate directly.

This recuperation, three days is him, five days is him, three months is him, five months is also him, if things are really difficult, there is really no way to start, this old guy directly went home with a boweful excuse for being unwell. Zhu Houzhao didn't know what to say, he didn't say anything, and this old guy had made a big deal of the ambush.

Ma Wensheng looked like an old man and a faint man, but he was like a mirror in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a hard time today, and his idea was indeed what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guessed.

Pretend to be deaf first, then pretend to be dizzy, and then go back to the house to raise, if you can get through it, you can get through it, and if you can't get through it, you will go home, anyway, the water in the court is getting muddy, so don't go to it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already held the Beijing camp and mastered the staff office, if he wants to extend his hand to the officials, this is a taboo thing, and this is what Ma Wensheng is worried about. If the prince really has this intention, then he refuses no, if he doesn't refuse, if he refuses, if he refuses, His Royal Highness the prince is not happy, if he does not refuse, then His Majesty is not happy, and even a hat that flatters the prince and a traitorous minister has to be put on.

"Why don't you move a stool for the horse master!" Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin beside him, and scolded angrily: "I don't have any eyesight strength at all." ”

When Liu Jin moved the chair, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Master Ma, please sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" Ma Wensheng smiled and sat on the chair.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, then turned around and returned to his seat, and after sitting down, Zhu Houzhao said: "Master Ma, this palace invited Master Ma today, yes!" ”

Before he could say this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't continue, because Zhu Houzhao found that Ma Wensheng was nodding constantly, looking like he was asleep in a daze, and Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded, are you pretending to be a little too much? You should at least listen to what Hongu has to say, right? You're just going to put it up? A little too early, right?

"Horse Master, Horse Master!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but scream, the expression on his face was a little not good, this old guy is a little too much, right?

"Uhhh Ma Wensheng looked like he was waking up from a dream, and raised his head to look at Zhu Houzhao: "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just say?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment, but he still spoke: "This palace is invited by my father's order to invite Master Ma over today, for the sake of the Household Tax Department. Saying that, Zhu Hou looked at Ma Wensheng, and this time he directly lifted his father out, still with a bright smile on his face.

Ma Wensheng didn't nod his head this time, but stroked his beard and said: "It turned out that it was for this matter, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any orders, the ministers will definitely follow them." ”

After the matter was discussed, Zhu Houzhao stood on the steps, looking at Ma Wensheng who was leaving with an expressionless face, he knew that he couldn't count on Ma Wensheng. Today's matter seems to be just talking about the irrelevant matter of the tax department, but both Ma Wensheng and Zhu Houzhao know that this is a temptation, and obviously Ma Wensheng is unwilling to get involved with himself, His Royal Highness the Prince.
