Summary of the previous chapter: The eunuch party is bad, the emperor is mediocre, and Ma Xiaoquan is hollowed out of power

++++++++++++++++++++++

Ma Xiaoquan sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, I have been in Beijing for more than two years, Wei Zhongxian has developed his power so quickly, Lord Yang, at present, only the official department is honest and honest in the six departments, and the other departments are all under Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, yesterday, I also heard that a rich man bought off the eunuch party and killed the prefect." ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Yang Lian was furious and slapped the table hard, and the teacup on the table slammed, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Ma Xiaoquan exhaled and persuaded: "Lord Yang dissipates his breath, dissipates his anger~"

Yang Lian closed his eyes, exhaled, then opened them, and said, "Lord Deacon, let me ask you a word, if you want Lord Deacon, to fight Wei Zhongxian, are you willing?" ”

Although Yang Lian said it was a question sentence, in fact, from his tone, it sounded like an exclamation sentence.

Ma Xiaoquan stood up and nodded: "Naturally, my Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of the eunuchs, how can this be reasonable, Lord Yang, please say, if there is anything that needs my Ma Xiaoquan's help, I will definitely help~"

Yang Lian nodded, suddenly laughed, and said, "Lord Deacon, that's enough, that's enough~"

"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and didn't understand what Yang Lian meant.

Yang Lian said with a smile: "Lord Deacon is not a member of my Donglin Party after all, and Wei Zhongxian will definitely deal with my Donglin Party next, if I Yang Lian let Lord Deacon go to this troubled water, it will be too unrighteous~"

"Lord Yang, you"

Yang Lian said: "I came here today to see the position of the deacon, what I have seen and heard today, I am satisfied~"

Ma Xiaoquan hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Yang, there is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not~"

Yang Lian waved his hand to touch the teacup on the table, but he didn't touch it, so he reacted, and just now he patted the table and straightened the teacup.

"Uh~~Lord Deacon, but it doesn't hurt to say~"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "I had a dream yesterday, dreaming that the Donglin Party would be robbed~ And before Lord Yang came, I went to the temple to ask the monk for advice, and the reply given by the monk was to stay away from disputes."

Ma Xiaoquan didn't actually have this dream, he said this because he wanted to save Yang Lian.

Although he knew that history could not be violated, Yang Lian was honest and loyal, and Ma Xiaoquan couldn't bear to watch him jump into the fire pit.

Of course, Yang Lian understood the meaning of Ma Xiaoquan's words, he smiled slightly, got up and arched his hand: "Lord Deacon, I understand your kindness, but the minister is in the court, he has to solve problems for the emperor and the world, if everyone wants to stay away from disputes, then what else will I rely on to build a country in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Yang Lian's words made Ma Xiaoquan ashamed, and for a while, he was speechless.

Yang Lian smiled bitterly, sat back in his seat, shook his head and said: "Brother Ma~~ Well, you and I have been intersecting for a few days, I Yang Lian is not talented, so I will call you Brother Ma~"

Ma Xiaoquan got up and bowed his hand to Yang Lian: "Then I will also call you Brother Yang~"

Yang Lian laughed: "Okay, there is a big age difference between you and me, but we can also become a year-old friend, not bad, not bad~~haha~~"

Yang Lian paused for a moment and continued: "Brother Ma, I understand what you mean, in fact, before I came to you, I didn't have much hope because you, Ma Xiaoquan, are not a righteous gentleman~hehe~~"

Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head and smiled, acquiescing to Yang Lian's conclusion.

"But just because you are for the country, for the border passes, and send your money to the front line again and again, I Yang Lian have to admire you."

Ma Xiaoquan was very ashamed, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Yang Lian.

Ma Xiaoquan sent money to Ningyuan, Liaodong, some of which was indeed used for support, and most of it was planning his future life.

Yang Lian saw Ma Xiaoquan lower his head, thinking that he was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, don't be embarrassed, I know, you can send money over there, and the way this money comes from is also a little wrong, but no matter what, you are all for my Ming Dynasty, so you, your little brother, are worthy of my Yang Lian's recognition." ”

Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, nodded heavily, and said, "Brother Yang, I really have what you said, I don't dare to take it rashly~"

"What's this, okay, I should go~" After saying that, Yang Lian stood up, "Uh~~ Brother Ma, the teacup on the ground, I'm sorry~"

"Oh, it's not in the way, it's not in the way~" Ma Xiaoquan stood up and sent him off.

Yang Lian pushed Ma Xiaoquan: "Okay, don't send it, outside your Ma family, there may be how many Wei Zhongxian's eyeliners are staring at~ I, how to get in, how to get out~ You, just send it~"

Ma Xiaoquan snorted: "Then Brother Yang, I won't send it~"

"Well, if you don't send it, you won't send it~" Yang Lian waved his hand at Ma Xiaoquan and walked out of the study alone

Seeing this Yang Lian leave, Ma Xiaoquan sat back in his seat.

Raising his head, Ma Xiaoquan exhaled.

"Yang Lian, Brother Yang" Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said to himself, "Next, you will face the eunuchs alone, but I know the history, but I can't help you get through, I'm Ma Xiaoquan, I'm ashamed~~"

As soon as the words fell, the door of the study opened again, and Li Qinghan walked in, walked in front of Ma Xiaoquan, and gently hugged his head.

"Qinghan, I" Ma Xiaoquan buried his head in Li Qinghan's arms and muttered.

"Don't say anything, I know, I know, I actually heard the conversation you just had~ Ma Xiaoquan, you don't have to blame yourself, this kind of thing is not something you can afford alone~"

"But I know, I know everything~"

Li Qinghan smiled and touched Ma Xiaoquan's head: "Sometimes, you are just like Feng'er and you are a child who doesn't grow up Ma Xiaoquan, you are not a sage, and you will not leave a name in this period of history, in this case, why do you want to bother with it, do you remember the first time we confessed each other's moods?" Your thoughts, your plans, everything you do for the Ma family, aren't these your goals, these are your original intentions, don't forget your original intentions"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Don't forget the original intention, don't forget the original intention"

This night, Li Qinghan accompanied Ma Xiaoquan in the study, and the two didn't say much, so they sat silently and did nothing until dawn
