Ma Sanbao saw the water bag in front of him and imagined the sweet taste of the water when it entered his throat. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He had been without water for three hours and had been pushed around.
Ma Sanbao looked up and saw a very handsome and elegant man in blue official robes.
At this moment, he was smiling at me with a kind face, looking like his neighbor's elder brother.
And he didn't look malicious, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"What kind of official are you?"
Wearing official robes, he is naturally an official of the Ming Dynasty.
He hated the general who killed his parents, and hated the Ming emperor who sent people to kill his parents.
But he also understood that these things had nothing to do with these petty officials.
When the escorting soldiers saw that the visitor was the censor, they did not step forward to stop him from delivering water.
Gu Chen smiled and explained: "Just a small official."
After that, he dug around in his arms, took out the honey bait wrapped in oil paper and handed it over.
"Are you hungry? Eat something. We still have sixty miles to go."
"If you don't eat enough, you won't have strength. If you don't have strength, you will get beaten again."
Honey bait is fat cake.
The sweet, soft and fragrant food aroma strongly stimulated Ma Sanbao's taste buds, and he bit his lip to express his thanks.
"Thank you, sir."
Ma Sanbao couldn't resist the temptation and took the water and food with both hands.
But he didn't eat it himself, but gave it to the older man next to him first.
"Brother, you eat."
Ma Wenming first cupped Gu Chen's hand with his chained hand, bowed and thanked him, then took the water and took a few sips.
However, he refused to eat and asked his younger brother to eat first.
"Sir, I'm Ma Wenming. This is my second brother Ma Sanbao. Thank you very much, sir. Your kindness will be rewarded."
As for the one who castrated his younger brother, I wish him a miserable end and a bad death!
It turned out to be these two brothers...
Gu Chen had an idea in his mind, and couldn't help but feel pity for Zheng He as he wolfed down the food.
"Child, is this blood...?"
We were still on the road, and we were ruthlessly beaten alive?
This means that the child is still young and does not understand the importance of this thing. Otherwise, how would he be in the mood to eat so happily?
"Sir, General Lan Yu said that he will send my brother to the palace to be treated as... a little yellow gate..."
Xiaohuangmen means little eunuch.
He cried extremely sadly, and then told how Lan Yu had poisoned his little brother, and even touched his little brother's head distressedly.
My younger brother's wish is to become a general, and now his life is completely ruined.
Gu Chen: "..."
Lan Yu is Lan Yu. With his bad temper, no wonder Lao Zhu wanted to kill him in history.
With such a bad temper, do you think he can accept Zhu Yunwen's anger?
When Lao Zhu dies and Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, if he is still alive.
Why don't you bring a bunch of military generals to cause trouble? Ming Dynasty won't cause chaos again?
Gu Chen thought for a long time, and finally he could only say dryly.
"Don't be too sad. Maybe it's a good thing that the evil roots are gone."
Those who are not trapped by emotions and have no children will not be afraid of being restricted like others, and can live more freely and boldly.
However, it is not easy for people like Lan Yu to settle down, so it is best to let Lao Zhufa accompany him to live a small life.
They need such ruthless people to teach them how to behave when they are young!
At the front of the team, Lan Yu heard that the censor and Ma Sanbao were talking.
His heart tightened involuntarily, and he looked at Fu Youde in a panic.
"He won't read our book, right?"
Over the years, he has been sufficiently involved by these officials and censors.
As long as he was involved, the emperor would have to scold himself, and the princess and the prince would also have to scold themselves.
Although there is no substantial punishment, whoever likes to be scolded doesn't he?
"Don't worry." Fu Youde comforted him: "You just castrated a prisoner of war, and you didn't abuse him. You worked hard and achieved great results. How can His Majesty blame you?"
This time to pacify Yunnan, Lan Yu captured Dali and captured Dalima, the political minister of Pingzhang of Yuan Dynasty in Qujing. He had the greatest contribution among the three.
The war in the north has not subsided yet, and it is time for His Majesty to reuse him.
Hearing this, Lan Yu was relieved, as long as he didn't get scolded.
"My lord, what is your name?"
After the two brothers had eaten and drank enough, Gu Chen was about to leave with a water bag. Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he was stopped by the mistress.
"Why did you ask my name?"
Gu Chen, a civil servant, could not do much for this kind of prisoner of war, let alone take him back to his home. The most he could do was give him a stutter, and then join Lan Yu, a prisoner of war who was tortured.
But it's definitely useless. Lao Zhu won't blame Lan Yu for a prisoner of war now.
According to the course of history, he will be sent to Prince Yan's Mansion to serve Zhu Di.
Gu Chen had no intention of stopping him. If he stayed in the capital, Ma Sanbao might not be able to shine. Instead, he might be overshadowed by Lao Zhu, who hated eunuchs.
But if you go to Peiping and follow Zhu Di, you will often rush to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
He will definitely be able to grow up and prepare for his future voyages to the West.
"My parents said that kindness from others should not be taken in vain, and I want to repay you."
At this time, the team was gradually moving. Although Xiao Sanbao was pushed forward, he still turned around frequently and looked at the man who gave him rice and water and asked.
"Sir, what is your name?"
Gu Chen stood there and looked at him, moved the corners of his mouth, and finally just said.
"Kid, live well!"
He didn't tell Ma Sanbao his name. As long as he could sail to the West like history, they would still have time to meet each other.
"Master Gu." Yu Min stepped forward and said with a soft smile: "That child has pretty features and beautiful eyes. No wonder Master Gu feels pity for him."
Even when he saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
"Of course, if they weren't handsome and handsome, why would the generals bother to bring people back?"
Regardless of whether you are a boy or a girl, who doesn’t like to be born good-looking?
Look at Wen Tingyun in the Tang Dynasty, it was because of his unsatisfactory growth.
Not to mention the twists and turns of his official career, he was also recorded by historians as having "a face as big as a pancake and a face like a Zhong Kui." People for generations have known that he was not good-looking.
"Yes, yes."
Hearing this, Yu Min responded with a smile, and said that Gu Chen was about to move into a new house, so he had to treat guests to dinner to get down to business.
"A few of us still live in the rented courtyard."
"Master Gu has such a nice house, so it's unreasonable not to invite us over for a drink."
As censors, they would not dare come to have a drink when other ministers held banquets or other events, for fear of being accused of forming a clique.
What should I do if I want to have a dinner together?
Or, wait for His Majesty to host a banquet.
Otherwise, he would have to wait for his colleagues who are also censors to treat him.
But everyone's salary is about the same, so there will naturally be less gatherings and team building.
No, it was so easy to catch someone, so naturally they had to give him a good beating.
"Okay, then I'll clean up at home and wait for you to come and show me your favor."
Being a royal censor can't be high-profile, and he usually doesn't dare to hold big banquets, so there is little opportunity for excitement.
For a housewarming like this, of course you have to treat your colleagues to a banquet, eat side dishes, drink some wine, relax, and talk about poetry, calligraphy, and painting.
After a business trip, you have to go to the palace to report on your work before you can go back to see your family.
Unless Boss Zhu tells you to go home to wash up and rest before going to see him the next day, you can go back to your home first.
But obviously, our boss Zhu is not so considerate.
Seeing that the two groups of people were returning to Beijing together today, he simply waved his hand.
Let people set up a table in Fengtian Hall and let everyone report on their work while eating.
The food was very simple, a plate of mutton, a plate of side dishes, a plate of snacks, a plate of fruit, a pot of wine and rice.
"Lanyu, you are very good."
When Lao Zhu saw Lan Yu's military exploits, it was like seeing Chang Yuchun back then, and the appreciation in his eyes was naturally self-evident.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Such a brave general is also the heroic uncle and grandfather.
It will definitely be very easy for my son and Xiongying to use it in the future.
"I don't dare. Your Majesty will reward you. I can only thank you."
Lan Yu was already the Marquis of Yongchang, and he originally wanted to have a Duke for himself.
But seeing the warning look in the prince's eyes, he had no choice but to obediently say that he could do anything.
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he knew what he was looking for. He was afraid that this guy would open his mouth and tell nonsense.
"Well, you kid, you have become a lot more sensible after being away for a few years."
As expected, Lao Zhu was very satisfied with this answer, and then suddenly asked something that was completely wrong.
"Is your eldest daughter turning fifteen this year?"
