Chapter 508: Showing Loyalty
Seeing Ma Shiying patting his ass so naked, Zhou Tingru couldn't help but hate it in his heart, but on the surface, he had to pretend to be light-hearted and said casually: "As for the reward of the Xuan army, naturally it can't be delayed for too long, so ...... Like Sun and Hong, let's allocate 200,000 silver dollars first, I don't know what Your Majesty wants? β
Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, first revealing a hint of distress, but then saw Ma Shiying, who was looking at him, and Yue Yang, who was pretending to be indifferent, but his eyes kept drifting towards him, and he took a deep breath before nodding and nodding: "Okay, according to what Zhou Aiqing said, let the household allocate the silver." Coke has updated the finale"
"Minister...... Obey! β
Seeing Chongzhen speak, Li Zhiwen could only agree even if he didn't petition......
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yue Yang, who returned to the Horse Mansion, remembered Chongzhen's somewhat distressed expression when he retreated from the dynasty, and couldn't help but cry and laugh, is this a windfall, and the timing of this Ma Shiying's refuge is too coincidental, this guy really put his face out in order to climb up.
"Xianggong, what are you thinking?" Seeing that her husband was a little absent-minded, Zhu Yujiao, who greeted her, asked with some curiosity.
Zhu Yujiao in this matter is already about to give birth, her bulging belly is already very large, and it is a little difficult to walk. Yue Yang helped her and walked towards the living room, while telling her about the morning court, Zhu Yujiao said with a smile while listening: "This Ma Shiying is really anxious, even if he is on the pole to take refuge in Xianggong, can't he be so anxious, do you want the face of a scholar?" β
Yue Yang immediately burst out laughing, and reached out to pinch Zhu Yujiao's white and tender face, which had become a little baby fat because of pregnancy: "Daughter-in-law, you are too naΓ―ve, how much is your face worth?" If he can catch the boat of Xianggong, it means that his future career will be smooth sailing, and a little face is nothing. β
"Then you can't just stick it on the pole in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, it doesn't make people look down on him." Zhu Yujiao pouted, obviously she was about to become a mother, but she had an innocent and cute look, which made people feel pity.
Yue Yang couldn't help but hug her round fragrant shoulders. He kissed her cute little face and smiled, "He's ...... This is to show loyalty to me and also to my army, try to ask him a man who fell to me in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, if I don't accept him, wouldn't it be underestimated? β
Zhu Yujiao's eyes widened and exclaimed, "Wow...... Isn't this guy forcing the prime minister to accept him? β
"So to speak." Yue Yang smiled: "Actually, he is not only forcing Xianggong, but also telling Xianggong. From now on, no one will accept him except Xianggong. β
"Hmph...... There are too many eyes in the hearts of these readers. β
Zhu Yujiao shook her head slightly, although she is a princess, and she has been familiar with many battles in the palace since she was a child, but she has to admit that she is still too naΓ―ve compared to these old fritters.
Just as Yue Yang was about to help Zhu Yujiao into the inner hall, the porter sent a letter of worship.
Yue Yang took a look. Immediately, he couldn't help laughing, "It seems that this Master Ma is really a little impatient, and he will come to the door like this." β
Zhu Yujiao glanced at the side, and her face showed surprise, and then said to Yue Yang: "Xianggong, since this Lord Ma has come to the door, you should meet him, after all, he is also the right attendant of the ministry, and accepting him must be able to help you a little." β
"Okay, I'll listen to my daughter-in-law." Yue Yang smiled. Then he ordered someone to bring Ma Shiying in.
Soon, Ma Shiying came to the living room under the leadership of the two palace maids, Ma Shiying saw a young and beautiful woman wearing a gold embroidered cloud and phoenix pattern, with a gold embroidered cloud and phoenix pattern on her front chest and back, standing next to Yue Yang, he immediately understood the identity of this person, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and placed her hands on her chest, bowed deeply and said respectfully: "Ma Shiying, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, see Her Royal Highness Princess Kunxing, may the princess be a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" β
Zhu Yujiao nodded slightly, but at this time she was completely different from just now, I saw her standing in place with a hint of majesty and grace, and said indifferently: "Master Ma doesn't need to be polite." I'm talking to the pony about you, and I haven't thanked you for helping the pony in the morning. β
Ma Shiying said in a panic: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie praises, the ministers can't see those corpses who are vegetarian and suppress the meritorious soldiers, and as for the words of helping the Hou Ye, it's just a joke." With the ability of the marquis, why should the ministers be troubled. β
Ma Shiying's words were neither humble nor arrogant, even Zhu Yujiao had to secretly praise this guy for being able to speak, no wonder even her father-in-law had to look at him differently, she also knew that this guy must have something important to do when he came to find his father-in-law, so he nodded and said: "Master Ma must have something to say to the horse this time, then the palace will go back to rest first." β
After saying that, she turned around and was supported by the two palace maids and returned to the inner house.
"Congratulations to the princess!"
Ma Shiying bowed to Zhu Yujiao's back again. When he raised his head, he saw Yue Yang, who was looking at him with a smile, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yue Yang waving his hand.
"Master Ma, Ben Hou hasn't thanked you for your help."
Ma Shiying hurriedly bowed to Yue Yang again: "The lower officials don't dare, with the talent of the Hou Ye, why do you need to make a move, the lower officials' move is just icing on the cake!" β
"Alright, sit down!"
Yue Yang waved his hand and sat down with him.
After the two sat down, their own palace maid came to serve tea. After taking a sip of tea, Ma Shiying chatted endlessly with Yue Yang, who also wanted to study this person, and asked him about various governance ideas intentionally or unintentionally in his speech. To Yueyang's surprise, although Ma Shiying still couldn't get rid of the limitations of this era, he expressed great concern about the social contradictions of the most important land annexation in the Ming Dynasty, and bluntly said that if this situation is not changed, then the situation of rogue gangsters like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will continue to occur.
"So according to Lord Ma, how should the imperial court deal with this situation?" Yue Yang immediately asked.
"This can't be solved by the lower officials." Ma Shiying looked embarrassed, and then put on a high hat for Yue Yang: "But the lower officials think that if someone in the Ming Dynasty can solve this problem, it must be Hou Ye, which is fully confirmed from Shanxi and Shandong under Hou Ye's command." β
"You...... But he can talk! Yue Yang pointed at Ma Shiying with some tears and laughter, and finally shook his head and said: "The biggest problem with land annexation is that the population of my Ming Dynasty is increasing, but the amount of land is fixed. As things stand, the solution to this problem is to keep expanding so that there is enough land to meet the growing population. β
Speaking of this, Yue Yang also had to shake his head secretly, according to the current productivity, the population that the land of Daming can support is really limited, so expanding outward has become the only way. The Ming Dynasty is now facing the sea in the east, India in the west, and the Siberian Plain in the north, and the cost of expanding to these places is too great, so the best choice is to expand to the south, as long as it can gain a firm foothold in the South Seas, then it can lay a solid foundation for the expansion of the Chinese nation in the future. After all, places such as Luzon, Da Ni, Huni, and Champa will either be rich in grain or good places for growing rubber in the future, and all kinds of mineral deposits are also very rich, and many of his predecessors in another time and space have set a good example for him.
Looking at Yue Yang, who was deep in thought, Ma Shiying didn't dare to disturb, but sat quietly on the side. After a while, Yue Yang came back to his senses and said apologetically: "Master Ma, Ben Hou is really embarrassed to think about things. β
"It doesn't matter, it's too late for Master Hou to admire the world's officials, how dare you blame." Ma Shiying hurriedly waved his hand, "I want to be a thief and a thief, destroy Jiannu, and have a meritorious service variable for more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, but now he is hated by villains, and every time he thinks of this, he really sighs!" β
"Yo...... This guy's kung fu is not bad! β
Yue Yang discovered another advantage of this guy, that is, he can pat himself without blushing or panting, as if it were a matter of course.
Thinking of this, Yue Yang looked at him with a smile and asked, "So is Master Ma here today to say this to Ben Hou?" β
"Of course not!"
Ma Shiying knew that it was time for him to show his loyalty, he stood up and took a step forward and made a deep bow towards Yue Yang, and said in a deep voice: "Shiying is here to tell the Hou Ye that Shiying is willing to take the Hou Ye as the head of the horse, and work together for the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty and die!" β
"Wipe ......"
Yue Yang really didn't expect this guy to show his loyalty directly, you are also the right servant of the dignified ministry, what about your temperament?
Because he was not prepared, our Lord Yue was directly stunned, but he also quickly came to his senses, looking at the first court member who took the initiative to take refuge, his heart turned countless times in an instant, and finally squinted his eyes and said: "Master Ma, you are also a dignified minister, but you say such a thing, are you not afraid of losing your dignity?" β
Seeing that Yue Yang did not accept himself immediately, Ma Shiying was a little anxious, what he did today had been seen by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and the matter of coming to visit Yue Yang immediately after the dispersal of the Dynasty could not be concealed, if Yue Yang refused to accept himself, I am afraid that from now on, although the officialdom is big, there will be no place for him to stand.
In a hurry, he bowed deeply and wept: "Master Hou, as the so-called Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been seen for a long time, if you don't believe it, please look at the performance of the next official in the future." β
"Hiss......"
Yue Yang gasped, he had to admit that he had underestimated the lower limit of the officials in these years, it seemed that he really couldn't accept this guy. (To be continued.) )xh118
