Although the emperor had a lot of fears about the Yang family because of the previous affairs of the Yang family, this time the emperor suddenly allowed the Yang family to come back, and it is unknown whether the Yang family has the possibility of turning over, so as soon as the invitation was sent out, almost everyone came over, mainly to see the attitude of the Yang family.

Yang Fujian is the master's family, so the banquet he made is with the Shangshu of the Six Divisions and the Doctor Taiwei. It's just a matter of others, it's an idle person like a doctor, and it's really surprising that he will think about coming over today.

But it was the doctor who came over and drank alone, and it was rare for someone to talk to him, so he reluctantly replied, for his such a cold attitude, gradually no one would have the strength to make up for it.

Yang Fujian took a look at the situation at the banquet, and seeing that the number of people should be there, he stood up with his wine glass and spoke, "Everyone. ”

"My Yang family is a loyal martyr, after the vicissitudes of life, and now I can return to the court, thanks to your kind words in the court, Yang is grateful. Today, I will borrow a glass of thin wine to thank everyone for their hard work, and I will do it first. ”

After that, without waiting for Shang Shu Ma Ge of the Ministry of War to worry about his physical condition and dissuade him, Yang Fujian directly drank it all, and saw that the owner's house had already drunk it, and the rest of the officials, especially those of relatively low grades, also followed suit.

"Your body is not good, I heard that your throat is also hoarse to the sand and dust outside the plug, and you drink such strong wine, drink so fast, you know that you can come back to rest, so you don't care about your body?"

Ma Ge sighed and shook his head, pulled Yang Fujian, who was smiling very happily, to sit down, and reached out to take the cup from his hand, "Alas, you-"

Yang Fujian was stunned for a moment, and was about to reach out to take the cup back, but Ma Ge hurriedly pressed his hand back, "That's all for today, be careful of getting drunk, and ask your son to collect your body again." You were able to come back because of your own efforts to make Your Majesty watch, and we actually didn't help much, so don't take it too seriously. ”

The voice landed, Gu Ting, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was a sincere person and didn't like to talk, Zhang Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, just nodded approvingly for his sake, and Jin Shan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was still young, so he got off the table and toasted Yang Huairen and the two to the side.

Lin Weiyong, the official department, has his own name, never takes the initiative to provoke right and wrong, and has no friendship with the Yang family, so he doesn't go to join in this excitement, but Li Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, indirectly asked for and left the Su family for Yang Fujian, and indirectly gave Xu Rulie's face, so he opened his mouth with some yin and yang.

"Yang Hou's kindness, how can you stop it, Lord Ma. Finally, I can go back to the capital, not to mention drinking an extra glass of wine, I'm afraid that I will break through the sea of swords and fires again, but I am afraid that Yang Hou will also have such courage. ”

"Having said that, but Yang Hou is old, so he naturally has to pay attention to these, and what I just said is not polite, just like a knowledgeable person like Lord Li, a gentleman's temperament, I guess I won't keep it in my heart for such a small profit."

When the words landed, the people at this table suddenly felt that something was not right, and Li Shangshu was also stunned, and it took a while to come back, and then drank to cover up his embarrassment.

"Heh, Master Ma, it's really an ancient way, and when I came back to the sun, I even became so sharp when I spoke."

Ma Ge's personality, because as a literati, but as the secretary of the military department, often provokes people, so she has never been bad with people, nor has she ever said a word of seriousness, and the relationship with the court and the central government is bland, and it is really strange that she will take the initiative to speak for him today.

This banquet, on the one hand, is to thank the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and on the other hand, Yang Fujian wants to secretly inquire about who will be a thief when he sees him coming back.

And for this reason, even Xiao Huaian did not come to this banquet, but took advantage of this opportunity to send someone to carefully investigate the details and interpersonal contacts of an official's family.

But after a circle, others didn't notice that Ma Ge's words really made Yang Fujian a little confused, but for the friendship between the two, Ma Ge was the only one who had a good relationship with his own family, and Yang Fujian didn't really want to doubt him.

Then, between the hesitation of this party, the banquet quickly came to an end, except for Ma Ge, Yang Fu Jian was entangled in his heart, and he really didn't notice the surprise of the others.

Because the banquet of the Yang family was set at noon, after eating, the adults had something to do with their hands, and left early after saying hello, and Yang Huairen came back after sending them away, with a heavy look on his face.

"Father, I've seen it all, except for the Criminal Department Shangshu Jin who said a few words to the child, everyone else is just there to watch, but Lord Jin's words are all frank, and he doesn't look like an evil person."

"I've only found one Margo here."

"Father." Yang Fujian said that, Yang Huairen was also startled, and hurriedly shouted, while Yang Fujian shook his head lightly at him.

"It's indispensable to guard against people, not to mention that I'm just worried about what I'm saying, just remember carefully, anyway, I can't see anything outside this banquet, I think Ma Ge should not live up to his father's trust in him."

"What kind of trust, you father and son, aren't you saying anything bad about me behind my back?"

Yang Fujian's voice had just landed, and he thought that the guests had dispersed and Ma Ge should have left early, but this would suddenly appear behind the two, startling both father and son.

Margo must have come in through the side door of the hall here, with something on his hands, having just washed it, and was wiping the water off with a handkerchief.

After Liu Fu saw that he had dried his hands, he took the initiative to come forward and help him take the handkerchief.

Yang Fu Jian is only good at leading troops to fight in the end, and he is not very well-informed about these interpersonal matters, seeing Ma Ge appear, the expression on his face forgot to control and crashed into Ma Ge's eyes with a look of surprise.

Ma Ge was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask out loud, "Yang Hou, what's wrong with you, why do you look so ugly?" Isn't Fang Cai's wine really hurting? ”

As he spoke, Ma Ge was about to step forward, and Yang Huairen hurriedly stepped over and saluted, widening the distance between the two.

"Thank you Lord Ma for your care, but this wine was brought by Brother Sheng Ge from his relative Zhang Yuanwai's house, although it is mellow, it is not too strong, my father's health is fine, my lord can rest assured. It's just that I haven't seen the adult all the time, thinking that the adult should go back, why did the adult come from my backyard? ”

"Ah, I just saw that Yang Hou drank too much at the banquet, and I was worried that he would hurt my lungs, so I called the housekeeper to show me the way, and went to the backyard to ask your cook to prepare some pear soup and mint leaves, which can moisten my throat and clear my lungs."

"It's not easy for this person to be alive, when I was young, I also wanted to kill the enemy on the battlefield like your father and son, and make contributions, but I didn't expect to end up as a literati and be in charge of the military department, but I don't know how many people in the court laughed off their big teeth,"

Ma Ge was afraid that he could see that the faces of the Yang family's father and son were wrong, and he was also very self-aware, and shook his head regretfully, "Now that I see the sun, I can be regarded as having a sense of sympathy, and I should take care of it more, so I won't bother much today, you guys take care of your life." ”

Speaking of which, if he had assumed his current position twenty years ago, he would have been worthy of his name.

Ma Ge was born in a small town on the border, and since he was a child, he has been practicing martial arts with the masters outside the Saiwai, and after seeing the turmoil outside the Saiwai, he thought that one day he would be able to make contributions and defend his family and the country.

But I didn't want the martial arts of the master outside the Saiwai to be contrary to the martial arts of the people of Daze in some places, and if he didn't notice it for a while, Mag had trained too much, and he actually injured the meridians, causing him to be unable to lift any weapon from now on, and even the speed that he had trained under his feet for many years was ruined.

Such a devastating blow is how a person with unpaid ambitions can accept it. However, Ma Ge can also be regarded as determined, and if he can't learn martial arts, he will go to literature.

It is also a noble person in his life, after entering Beijing, he was sponsored by the imperial examination, and he was worthy of the third list, and then the emperor saw that he had studied martial arts, and also knew the method of leading the army and commanding the generals, and was worried that there was no one who could manipulate the power of leading the army, so he simply proposed Ma Ge to be the secretary of the military department, and for more than ten years, there was no achievement, but no one could replace his position.

Although Ma Ge has become a weak scholar at this point, his past experiences and dreams, Yang Fujian is not incomprehensible, so the relationship between the two in the court was not very good, but it was also better than with other officials.

The relationship between the two of them when they returned to Beijing this time rose several levels, and seeing Ma Ge caring for him like this made Yang Fujian very moved.

Yang Fujian sighed, stretched out his hand and grabbed Ma Ge's shoulder, "Don't be surprised by Lord Ma, we are suspicious, speaking of which, I still have to thank Master Ma for his original protection and recommended my father and son to go to Nankang, which can be regarded as allowing my Yang family to have more than ten years to atone for their sins, and make people slowly forget." ”

"If you are not busy, can you go to the study with me to talk and play chess, I also want to ask Master Ma whether his chess skills have improved over the years."

"Very good." When Ma Ge heard this, he was immediately very surprised, nodded busily, and walked away with Yang Fujian.

At this point, although Yang Fujian let go of his suspicions about Ma Ge, he was not stupid enough to completely give himself the reason for returning to Beijing, but his words still revealed a lot. Fortunately, Ma Ge also knew that he patted his chest several times to ensure that he would never leak half a sentence.

Yang Huairen was worried, but he didn't dare to say anything after all, so he and Yang Fujian waited until Xiao Huai'an came back in the evening, and then listened to see if there was anything else to gain.
