Although Zhang Guozhu was crazy with jealousy, he couldn't help it, the king of Fu directly asked to see Ma Cheng by name, Zhang Guozhu had no choice but to let Luo Bingran, the garrison of the middle camp, take the little eunuch to find Ma Cheng.

Luo Bingran was regretting the 1,000 taels of silver he gave to Ma Cheng these days, and he was shocked when he received the news, but he didn't expect that Ma Cheng's hands and eyes were all over the sky, and King Fu, the future emperor, would see Ma Cheng.

Luo Bingran's already dead heart began to move again, if Ma Cheng was appreciated by King Fu and benefited, wouldn't his 1,000 taels of silver be given away in vain?

Thinking of this, Luo Bingran hurriedly took the little eunuch to Ma Cheng at the rear of the army, and how far away from the tent Luo Bingran shouted: "Ma Qianhu, Brother Ma!" There is a big happy event! ”

Ma Cheng's buttocks have scabbed, but he can't sit and can only lie down, Ma Cheng frowned when he heard Luo Bingran's voice in the tent, this Luo Bingran is very snobbish, he saw that he lost power two days ago and completely broke off contact, what did he suddenly come to do today?

Luo Bingran walked into the tent and saw Ma Cheng lying on the bed, so he quickly licked his face and came to the bed and pulled Ma Cheng and cried: "Brother, my brother couldn't help it at that time, my brother was so light-hearted, I really couldn't help!" ”

Ma Cheng withdrew his hand in disgust and asked, "What is the matter with Lord Luo today?" ”

After Ma Cheng reminded Luo Bingran, he remembered that there was a little eunuch outside the door, and quickly wiped his tears and said: "Brother, now that the creation is here, King Fu has sent a little lieutenant, and King Fu wants to see you, brother!" ”

Ma Cheng jumped up from the bed when he heard Luo Bingran say this, he was really sleepy and met the pillow, what did he want! I was worried about how to get in touch with King Fu, and I didn't go to someone to see me by name.

Ma Cheng didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and hurriedly rushed out, and a young man in his twenties was standing at the door of the tent. The young man was white-faced, beardless, and wore a small green coat and hat, with several patches in the inconspicuous part of his clothes.

Ma Cheng has been in this world for more than 20 days, and now he can analyze his background through a person's clothing and appearance, this person wearing a green coat and a small hat must be a lowly person, and at the same time there are patches on his body, that is, life is more difficult. There is also this person who has no beard, men in the Ming Dynasty all had beards, only two kinds of people did not have beards, one was an underage child, and the other was a eunuch.

But it's not that the eunuchs in the palace are all awesome in their daily lives, why is this guy in front of him still wearing patched clothes?

Ma Cheng didn't know that Fu Wang Zhu Yousong fled from Henan to Huai'an, and there were only a few people following him, if it weren't for King Lu's help, he would be on the streets, and the eunuch in front of Ma Cheng was just a low-level eunuch, and it would be good if he didn't leak his fart, so he could wear whatever he wanted.

Ma Cheng stepped forward and bowed and asked, "But this eunuch is looking for Ma Cheng?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly saluted when he heard Ma Cheng say this: "The second prince is serious, the slave is just a poor person, and he must not be a eunuch!" ”

Eunuchs also have grades, only the highest-ranking eunuch can be called a eunuch, this kid is only the lowest-level yellow clothes in the Fuwang Mansion, and he is not a eunuch yet.

"Hey, just because you're not a eunuch now doesn't mean you won't be in the future! Ma Cheng saw that his father-in-law was reused by the king at a young age, and he would definitely be able to become the boss and the eunuch in the future! "Ma Cheng knows that there is something missing from these yin and yang people, and the psychology is very dark, although this guy has a low position, but he fled from Henan to Huai'an with King Fu, and must be one of King Fu's henchmen, this kind of person should not be offended.

The eunuch was also very happy to hear Ma Cheng say this, after all, the celebrant is equivalent to the cabinet of literati, and if he can enter it, he will already be clear from the ancestral tomb, if he becomes a palm print eunuch, then the ancestral tomb must be on fire.

"Minion, thank you Ma Gongzi! King Fu sent a servant to summon Ma Gongzi, please let Ma Gongzi go! ”

It turned out that King Fu really wanted to see him, and Ma Cheng was very excited. Ma Cheng pulled Luo Bingran beside him and whispered, "Lord Luo, do you have any silver on you?" ”

Luo Bingran didn't know what Ma Cheng meant, and said, "Yes! Do you want to use the second son? ”

Ma Cheng wants to befriend this eunuch, and it is naturally the safest way to give money as a gift, but Ma Cheng is now poor and clanging, so he has the money to bribe.

"Yes, give me the thousand taels!"

Luo Bingran heard Ma Cheng say this, so he didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, he just gave this guy a thousand taels two days ago, and now he wants a thousand taels? Do you think Luo Ye's family opened a money bank?

Luo Bingran said so in his heart, but he couldn't help it, so he had to take out a silver ticket from his arms slowly, Ma Cheng grabbed it without looking at it, and then came to the eunuch and said, "This brother, I don't know my brother's surname?" ”

"The slave's surname is You, and the second son can call the slave You Er!"

"It turned out to be Gonggong You!" After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he stuffed the silver ticket into You Er's hand and said, "Father-in-law You, this is a little bit of Ma Cheng's heart!" Father-in-law You has worked hard with the prince in the past few years, and Father-in-law You has accepted this money! ”

You Er thought it was some scattered silver, but when he took it, he opened it and saw that it was a thousand taels of silver, which was a huge amount of money, You Er's frightened hand shook, and the silver ticket hung on the ground.

"Second son, this. . . The minions really didn't dare to accept such a valuable gift! You Er knew that Ma Cheng was Ma Shiying's sister-in-law, Ma Shiying had a meritorious service this time, and he would definitely enter the cabinet, and he was a eunuch in yellow clothes who dared to accept the silver of the old man in the cabinet.

Ma Cheng pretended to be angry and said: "Father-in-law You, the little brother wants to make you a friend, if you don't accept it, you will look down on the little brother!" ”

You Er heard Ma Cheng say this, and he followed King Fu to Huai'an, he has been poor for five or six years, and he really needs silver, You Er thought about it and said: "Since the second son said so, the slave will be accepted, and the second son will definitely help if there is anything in the future!" ”

Ma Cheng was overjoyed when he heard You Er say this, as the saying goes, the king of Hades is so difficult to see ghosts. Ma Cheng has been at the bottom of society for many years in later generations, and naturally knows that the people around him are the most difficult to play. Now you can make friends with the future emperor's side for just one thousand taels of silver, which is a lot of money.

After Ma Cheng and You Er finished their friendship, they rode a horse and followed You Er, leaving Luo Bingran with a bewildered face standing at the door in a daze, and it took a long time for Luo Bingran to react, your mother, Ma Cheng, the 1,000 taels of silver you gave as a gift belonged to Lao Tzu!

The power of the silver soon appeared, You Er was very enthusiastic about Ma Cheng, and chatted with Ma Cheng very happily along the way.

Ma Cheng asked, "Second Brother You, the junior brother wants to ask King Fu what he is doing with the younger brother this time?" The status of the little brother is low, how can King Fu know about the little brother? ”

You Er smiled and said: "Brother Ma, although you are far away in Fengyang, the prince is very concerned about you in his heart, and he has mentioned you brother many times!" ”

Ma Cheng was very curious when he heard You Er say this, he was just a thousand households, or a second ancestor, how could King Fu know his name?

"Brother Ma, did you say that King Fu is in front of the order, and you should establish the Fu Domain earlier?"

"Yes, my brother said this to my father at home! But how does King Fu know? Ma Cheng was very curious, there were only his father, Yue Qijie, Yang Wencong, and Ma Luan in the house at that time, why did this word reach the ears of King Fu?

"Hehe, brother, don't you know, the more adults have already cared about the prince, naturally a lot of words are passed by the adults!"

Ma Cheng scolded in his heart when he heard You Er say this: It seems that you have to be careful of this Yue Qijie in the future, this guy is likely to step on two boats.

"Second brother, the younger brother is very young, he doesn't know the ways of officialdom, if there is any danger in the future, I hope the second brother will reach out to help!"

You Er likes Ma Cheng very much, of course, silver is one thing, the main Ma Cheng does not have the kind of contempt for eunuchs that others have, Ma Cheng can communicate with You Er on an equal footing, which makes You Er, who feels inferior, very comfortable.

In fact, Ma Cheng didn't do it on purpose, but Ma Cheng came from later generations, and he had the idea that everyone was equal from his bones, so he naturally didn't discriminate against You Er. But Ma Cheng's attitude is different in You Er's eyes, You Er's family was poor when he was a child, and his dead ghost father bought You Er into the palace as a eunuch, and then was assigned to King Fu's Mansion as a low-level yellow suit, that is, a low-level eunuch who swept the floor and emptied the toilet.

You Er has been a poor person for more than ten years, and he is used to seeing the kind of contempt that literati look at him, even if he is a relative in his own family, he is reluctant to mention himself in front of outsiders. Now that You Er has met a Ma Cheng who treats him as an ordinary person, he naturally cherishes it very much.

You Er told Ma Cheng about the taboos of the palace as he walked, and when he saw how King Fu saluted and how to call him, Ma Cheng nodded again and again.

When Ma Cheng and You Er were on their way, his son Ma Shiying was fighting with Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Caoyun.

After Ma Shiying arrived in Huai'an today, he immediately rushed to the West Lake Courtyard outside the city with his staff and senior generals to see Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu.

But what Ma Shiying didn't expect was that Lu Zhenfei came earlier than him, and he had been waiting here for a long time.

Ma Shiying and Lu Zhenfei are at the same level, but Ma Shiying's qualifications are much older than Lu Zhenfei, so Lu Zhenfei has to salute first.

Lu Zhenfei saw Ma Shiying enter the house and arched his hand and said, "Master Ma has arrived, King Fu and this official have been waiting for a long time!" ”

Ma Shiying didn't pay attention to Lu Zhenfei, but came to King Fu's side and saluted: "Governor Fengyang Ma Shiying, meet His Royal Highness!" ”

Lu Zhenfei heard Ma Shiying claim to be the superintendent and was so angry that Ma Shiying's official title was the squire of the military department, the supervisor of Fengyang, Henan, Yangzhou and other places of food and military affairs. The Ming Dynasty rule supervisor is a level greater than the governor, generally there are university scholars concurrently, the late Ming Dynasty famous general Lu Xiangsheng is the governor of the seven provinces, this is the real feudal officials.

It's just that Ma Shiying is in charge of the Jiangbei section of Nanzhili plus Henan, and this kind of position is a little bigger than that of the governor, so he has the title of a squire in the military department. But the superintendent is the superintendent, and the superintendent is one level higher than the governor, Ma Shiying now says that he is the superintendent, and he is just going to press the road Zhenfei in the official position.

King Fu was very happy to see Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude enter the house, and King Fu Zhu Yousong smiled and said, "Ma Aiqing is here!" Let's discuss, what should this king do? ”
