Chapter 14 Nine Sesame Officials

The surrounding atmosphere is unusually dignified, the whole courtyard is silent, and the focus of all the guests is focused on Ma Sanbao's body, this talented man who has just chanted poetry to please the emperor, what kind of benefits will he ask for with Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, so that many guests are curious, if ordinary moments, people who can get benefits from Zhu Yuanzhang's body, it can be said that there are very few, from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty to now more than ten years have passed, that are all a handful of characters, and now they are all mixed with heads and faces.

"Brother Xian, you have a chance to be crowned a marquis, although my father is cautious, but ah, this time you dare to chant poetry against you." Zhu Di instigated Ma Sanbao on the side, and made the marquis a knight, which is the wish of many ordinary people, Ma Sanbao's current scenery is due to Zhu Di, and he did not follow Zhu Di's side, and everything that Ma Sanbao can enjoy is instantly greatly reduced. Not to mention the title of king and knight, Zhu Di hopes that Ma Sanbao can get a better official position from his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I haven't thought about it yet, Your Highness, you also understand, what about money, the two of us are in partnership, naturally there are a lot of businesses waiting for us to collect money, as for the rest, I don't have so many ideas, my wish is not much, you also understand, is to protect all your own innocence, or just catch the assassin who assassinated me last time, but I don't have so much interest in rewards such as marquis and knighthood." Ma Sanbao said that he didn't want the purpose of being a marquis to be a prince just because he didn't want to get involved in the battle of officialdom, but he hoped that he could keep his innocence, or catch the person who wanted to kill him, so he didn't want to die so unclear.

"Your wish is too humble, hey, I really don't know how to tell you, I will help you save your innocence in the future, as for the assassins, the vast Nanjing City, even with the support of the father, digging three feet into the ground may not be able to find out the assassins, do you think the father is omnipotent? In my opinion, the most important thing is to have an official, you don't need to be too good, or not, a nine-grade official, right? At least mix up the name. Zhu Di suggested beside Ma Sanbao, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the seat from time to time.

Zhu Di's proposal moved Ma Sanbao slightly, he thought about it, lowered his head, and after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice appeared in Ma Sanbao's ears.

"Wenhe, have you ever thought of a good wish?" Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, he was smiling at this time, but in Ma Sanbao's eyes, he was as serious as the court, Zhu Di was right, why waste such an important opportunity to protect his innocence? This is an opportunity to invite merit and receive rewards with the emperor, as for catching assassins, it is indeed not so easy, the Ming Emperor is not a modern military leader, but there is no drone to help him explore the entire city of Nanjing, as the imperial capital of Nanjing City is even more vast, it is not easy to find an assassin who tries to kill himself in Nanjing City, it is better to ask for a position.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, I am now unemployed, have no official position, and I am not qualified to accompany His Highness by his side, otherwise, what kind of decent official position can I be given so that I can continue to assist His Highness?" Ma Sanbao asked tentatively, he didn't dare to ask Zhu Yuanzhang too much to give him any particularly awesome official position, Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to give it, it is estimated that most of the people present were unwilling to recognize his official position, it was better to take a step back and ask for an ordinary official position.

"That's it?" Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes slightly, he felt that Ma Sanbao's wish was a little boring, he became lazy from sitting upright before, he leaned on the seat, waved his hand, and threw the fruit in his hand aside. "I thought I had some lofty ambitions, I wanted military power with me, and I wanted a fief, and I might be able to satisfy you, but ah, I didn't expect it, Wenhe, you are still too restrained, this wish is too easy to satisfy, don't you want an official position? This just happens, there are many official positions in the Imperial History Terrace, you are new to the city, but you can't give you too high-grade official positions, give you an inspector of the imperial history, what do you think? ”

Inspector Yushi, although it is a sesame big official position in the early Ming Dynasty, but it is also the official position of Zhengjiupin, the regular official position is on his face, Ma Sanbao does not want to miss it, he has long been clear in his mind that Zhu Yuanzhang will abolish the Yushitai in the future and change it to the Chengdu Procuratorate, and his official position will also be promoted because of this, you know, many official positions want to be promoted but there are not so many opportunities, and the official position of Inspector Yushi has not done enough, don't do it in vain.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Ma Sanbao hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, his tone was slightly excited, which made Hu Pengju and Zhu Li have disdainful looks on their faces.

"Look at your little bit of talent, you are so excited about the official position of the nine grades of sesame, hey, my father's heart is still too unpredictable, even if I am the prince, I don't know what my father will do next, depending on what my father means, I wanted to give you a bigger position before." Zhu Di said to Ma Sanbao, "You are still too young, you don't know enough about the officialdom of Daming, hey, Jiupin Sesame Official!" ”

"It's okay, there will be opportunities to get promoted and make a fortune in the future, the smaller the official position, maybe the fewer assassinations, maybe there won't be so many open and secret battles, who will do it to a nine-grade sesame official?" Ma Sanbao said to Zhu Di with a smile, alleviating Zhu Di's doubts.

"Cut, a small official position, so excited, at this level, is this still a reincarnation? can write poetry, can bet against His Majesty, but only mixed up with a small official position, that's all but so excited, ridiculous. Hu Pengju smiled evilly, although his official position is not high, but he is the son of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and with his father Hu Weiyong as a backer, he is naturally not afraid of the poor Ma Sanbao with a low official position.

"Don't think too well, he is still young, and it is already his father's grace to have a nine-grade official position, and it can be regarded as to avoid suspicion, it can be seen that his father and the fourth brother appreciate this son very much, you, you still think too little." Zhu Li thought for a moment and said to Hu Pengju, "Once this kid grows up, he will be the most unstable factor, and you and I can't control it." ”

"Is it so scary? Looks like I'm thinking too much. There was a trace of ruthlessness in Hu Pengju's eyes, and the eyes that looked at Ma Sanbao were not friendly.

"Wenhe, your official seal and waist card will be sent to Di'er's mansion at that time, although you are the inspector of the imperial history, but you don't have any tasks, so let's supervise Di'er, if there is a big event, you must report to me!" Zhu Yuanzhang said lazily, "Today's banquet is good, Biao'er, I am very happy, I am Ming, I have found a treasure, such an old talent, it is the blessing of my Ming." ”

"Get up, go back to the palace, I'm tired." Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, and with the support of the eunuch and the attendants, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out step by step, "Wenhe, Yun Wei and you, they are quite fateful, so treat him well." ”

Approaching Ma Sanbao, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, dotingly looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was still young and unsteady in walking, and then looked at Ma Sanbao, who teased Zhu Yunwen with a sugar gourd.

What Zhu Yuanzhang said was heavily imprinted in Ma Sanbao's mind, but he couldn't agree to this matter, history, he couldn't be familiar with it anymore, the future world was not Zhu Yunwen's, but belonged to the hands of Zhu Di, the fourth prince beside him, he couldn't agree on the surface, but he still had to compensate Zhu Yuanzhang for a smile.

"Little Sesame Official, look at you proudly, you will feel good in the future!" Hu Pengju reminded Zhu Li, but did not dare to show dissatisfaction with Ma Sanbao on the surface, Ma Sanbao chanted poetry in front of everyone, and won Zhu Yuanzhang's appreciation, he Hu Pengju thought that he couldn't do it, his official position, or relying on his father, just climbed to the current position, don't look at his official position can press Ma Sanbao, the future may not be known.

"I, Zhu Biao, I declare one thing to you here, this banquet, there is nothing to entertain you, if you don't dislike it, you can continue to chat and have fun in the banquet, eat and drink enough, you can leave, you can come, I Zhu Biao sincerely thank you." Zhu Yuanzhang just walked to the tea with his front feet, Zhu Biao stood in the courtyard and said to all the guests, he originally planned to let the guests chant poems after Zhu Yuanzhang left, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already decided to make this move before, and he mentioned it again, it was completely redundant, this time, Ma Sanbao's poems became the focus of the banquet.

"Fourth brother, as the third brother, I advise you, remember your identity, you are too close to the common people, it is not a good thing for you Zhu Di, I will go first, we will meet again!" Zhu Li got up, walked past Zhu Di's position, and reminded Zhu Di without kindness, "Sometimes, subordinates, you still have to pay attention to your identity, although your father gave you the position of supervising the fourth brother, do you think that with your Jiupin official position, can you really have any impact on the fourth brother?" I advise you, don't climb high by the side of the fourth brother, it won't do any good. ”

"Third brother, don't worry about it, Brother Wen and Xian saved my life before, I, Zhu Di, remember the kindness, different from you, in your eyes, there is only yourself, what common people are not common people, Wen He is in my heart, that is a brother who has passed his life, more like a brother than you, don't think I can't see it, you are sowing discord." Zhu Di waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Di to quickly leave his sight.

Zhu Li was angry, gritted his teeth and glared, but he didn't say much, beckoned the entourage around him, and left Zhu Biao's courtyard.

As the son of the prime minister, his relationship with the Third Highness is quite good, leaving aside the identity of the son of the prime minister, he is more like Zhu Li's doglegs.

"The dog leg and his dog owner are gone, these two people, like flies, I am annoyed by the buzzing in my ears, brother Xian, you will deal less with those two people in the future, those two people are not good at stubble, as for the official position given to you by your father, although you supervise, I Zhu Di, be a frank and unrestrained person, no objection and no corruption, the money is all your own clean account earned by you and me doing business, why be afraid?" Zhu Di puffed out his chest and picked Zhu Yunwen up from Ma Sanbao's arms.

I don't know if Zhu Di scared Zhu Yunwen before or what, at the moment when Zhu Di just picked up Zhu Yunwen, the little guy who was still smiling instantly cried and made a fuss, and even the sugar gourd string in Ma Sanbao's hand became unattractive.
