Imperial study room

After Yan Yi talked about the reward to Lu Guang, both Ma Jin and Lu Guang and his disciples were very happy.

However, Lu Guang did not quite understand the official system of the court, so his joy mostly came from the fifth rank and the generous rewards. Ma Jin, who knew the official system, was more surprised by the importance of the official position of Lu Guang, which was directly beyond his expectations.

As I said before, in the officialdom of big business, although rank is important, what is more important is the real power of the position. A third-rank general with a false title is not as loud as a fifth-rank general with military power.

Previously, after Ma Jin had thoroughly figured out the importance of hot air balloons to the court, he speculated that Yan Yi would be appointed as an official of Lu Guang.

This is the experience summarized from the experience that Ma Jin and Yan Yi have been dealing with each other for more than ten years.

Their current priest, together with his father's late emperor, Emperor Jingkang, was a habit. The first thing that any minister who made meritorious thought was to be promoted, and then there was a material reward.

Ma Jin has been with the two men for more than ten years. The emperor rewards he saw were like this. The only two more unusual rewards were awarded by the princess, and the royal prince-in-law; the other was that he was re-granted after decades.

Ahem, it’s a coincidence that these two different rewards were received by Mr. Ma…

………

The book was turned into the main text. Although Ma Jin guessed that Yan Yi was appointed as an official, he originally thought that Yan Yi would only grant Lu Guang a title of sixth and seventh rank at most. In the Ministry of Works and Imperial Supervision and other yamen opposite Lu Guang, he would have a position and a body to protect his body.

If Yan Yi valued Lu Guang more and could give him a serious position, take care of himself, and have a few years of experience, his eight disciples might not be able to become a high-ranking official in purple ward.

But Ma Jin never expected that Yan Yi would give Lu Guang so much, from the fifth-rank craftsman, commanding the army, and all the craftsmen in the Second Department of Engineering worked. It sounded like a contractor, with only some supervisors and few responsibilities.

In fact, this is not the case. Although the fifth-grade master craftsman has a low position, he is of great importance. Think about it, the Ministry of War manufactures weapons and weapons, develops firearms, digs canals and builds embankments, and builds cities and palaces. It has countless craftsmen under its jurisdiction.

To put it too much, some doctors who are ranked low in the cold yamen sometimes have to look at the face of the master craftsman, otherwise they will quit their jobs and will directly stop all the craftsmen, which will delay the entire construction period. At that time, the superiors will blame him. Although the master craftsman cannot escape responsibility, he will have to follow him and fall into trouble.

In addition, because the job of a master craftsman is generally held by technical personnel, the master craftsman also has the responsibility to lead their craftsmen to develop equipment. If they are in their responsibilities, some craftsmen develop powerful equipment, and the superiors will also receive a reward for their merits.

In addition, supervising, inspecting and verifying projects in various places in the yamen is also one of the responsibilities of masters.

It can be said that although the position of Dajiang seems inconspicuous, it is actually of real weight and easy to make contributions. More importantly, it is a lot of money and a rare fat man.

This time, Lu Guang was appointed as the two departments at once, and Yan Yi personally won the title of the emperor, which added a bit of supreme glory. Now there are nearly ten masters in the two departments, and Lu Guang is expected to be able to directly rank among the top three just after taking office.

Even if these masters had not had the seniority of the masters, with the special nature of Lu Guang's two works, it would be impossible to monopolize the leader...

………

When his apprentice received a heavy reward, Ma Jin was naturally very happy. With his pleasure, he saw Nangong He who was staring quietly with Di Yi and the other two. His mood, which had just improved a little, suddenly fell down.

Mr. Ma is not an open-minded person. He has always been vengeful and holds revenge very much. He is a famous stingy in the court.

This time, his disciple Lu Guang was tied up in public by Nangong He's people on the street. If Ma Jin did not seek justice for him, he would not be able to enjoy it these days.

So, looking at Yan Yi who was drinking tea with a smile on the dragon table, he reached out and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have this report."

Yan Yi raised his eyebrows, put down the teacup, and said, "Oh, Zisheng, even if he says it."

Ma Jin nodded, stood up, gave Yan Yi a bow, then reached out and pointed to Nangong He, who was confused, and said with a righteous face.

"I want to participate in the report of the post-General Nangong He, and immediately General Yin Piao, the general of Fenwei, was sent privately to the city. In public, without any sages and no documents to approve the arrest of the Ministry of War and other yamen, he took my disciple Lu Guang.

Emperor, if the Wei minister had not arrived in time just now, Lu Guang would have been tied back to the general's mansion by Yin Piao.

In broad daylight, the world is bright and bright. Yin Piao, relying on someone to support him, acts so unscrupulously. He is simply disregarding the king's laws and treats the dignity of the court as nothing."

"Oh, this is actually happening."

The faint smile on Yan Yi's face disappeared, and he turned to look at Nangong He who was restless: "General Nangong, do you know the internal cause of this matter?"

Well, even my dear friend doesn't even shout...

Seeing Yan Yi's displeasure, Nangong He was so scared that he almost broke out in his sweat, and he kept cursing in his heart. This man surnamed Ma was so cruel and ruthless. He also said that he had asked Yin Piao to transfer troops into the city, and he said that Yin Piao had exceeded the rule and arrested people, and he had no way of being a king.

As long as these two things are done, Yin Piao will have to fall to the ground and he will have to eat a big melon.

So, Nangong He immediately wanted to speak to defend himself, but before he could speak, Nangong He remembered what he said to Yin Piao when he entered the palace, and he was a little confused.

Could it be that this kid didn't grasp the right measure and really made a big deal?

If I talk nonsense now and don’t match what Yin Piao said for a while, wouldn’t I be even more embarrassed? But I can’t say nothing, otherwise I would have agreed that this was what he did.

Nangong He thought about it all over and over, and simply said something to defend himself without saying anything, and just watched the change, but turned over and knelt on the ground, constantly saying that he was wronged...

………

It was rare to see his mortal enemy being defeated. Di Yi and the other two were so happy to watch it. They just took a cup of tea and ate some melon seeds and applauded.

Di Yi and the other two watched the show with gloating, but Ma Jin was not as interested as the three of them.

Seeing Nangong He calling for injustice, he thought for a moment and told Yan Yi directly that Yin Piao was now tied outside the palace. What was going on? Call him over and you will know it in one instance.

Yan Yi was indecisive about this and asked Dai Quan to bring Yin Piao in. However, Nangong He felt guilty and was extremely nervous when he saw this. He wanted to stop him several times, but he didn't know what to say. His face turned red with anger, which made Di Yi and the other two joke again.

After a while, Yin Piao asked Dai Quan to bring him to the hall, and knelt on the ground with his hands tied up, and Yan Yi on the Dragon's desk saw him.

"Criminal Yin Piao, come to the Emperor, long live my emperor."

"Yin Piao, just now Ma Aiqing had already told me all your actions. I ask you, do you know what it is to send troops to the capital privately and get people over the rules?" Yan Yi's face was as deep as water, and his dragon power was bursting.

Yin Piao had a calm face, robbed the ground with his head, and shouted loudly: "I am guilty, but I still have something to say."

Nangong He, who was looking at Yin Piao's worriedness, suddenly his eyes lit up when he heard this.

Yin Piao has always been anxious and said this time. Could it be that there is a turning point in this matter?

…………

When Ma Jin, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say much and continued to look at Yan Yi's response below silently.

"Is there anything to say? What's the inside story in your heart? Tell me all about it." Faced with Yin Piao's actions, Yan Yi's expression did not change, and he said in a faint tone.

"Yes, the emperor."

Yin Piao kowtowed carefully and then spoke slowly about the incident. When he told this, the expressions of Ma Jin and Nangong He next to him also changed with Yin Piao's words.

Until Yin Piao finished talking about everything, the expressions and moods of the two were completely opposite. Ma Jin sighed with a long face, looking very sad.

However, Nangong He, who was opposite to him, had a look of surprise and glory on his face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be suppressed.

…………

The reason why Yin Piao's words made Ma Jin and Nangong He so differently was because Yin Piao admitted the whole matter. In short, Yin Piao took the initiative to take the blame for Nangong He.

In Yin Piao's story, he confessed to arresting Lu Guang on the street, but Yin Piao denied that he had privately transferred troops to the capital, but made it clear that these people were his personal guards and were sent to the normal range, which was completely different from what Ma Jin said about private transfer of troops.

This is indeed a bit unreasonable and picky about the problem, so Yan Yi also said that this matter will not be investigated strictly.

Although the private transfer of troops into the city made Yin Piao pass the barrier, the evidence for the arrest of Jujue is conclusive, and Yin Piao cannot defend himself.

He did not deny it, and he accepted the matter happily, but the matter he was involved in before Ma Jin was instructed by Nangong He, Yin Piao said that there was no such thing.

In Yin Piao's mouth, Nangong He did notice that this thing was good after discovering the hot air balloon, so he asked him to go to the city to search for the flying people.

But Nangong He asked him to invite him to the general's mansion and repeatedly told him not to be rude. However, he was reckless and was afraid that he would not be able to make a mistake when he went back to Nangong He, so he became malicious and took the initiative to arrest people beyond the rules.

Finally, Yin Piao directly said that all the crimes were caused by him. He was responsible for one person's work and one person was responsible for all the punishments. However, these things had nothing to do with Nangong He. He did not want to implicate his old boss for no reason, so he asked Yan Yiyan to investigate...

………

"Nan Gongzi has taken over a good subordinate."

Di Yi looked at Yin Piao, who was kneeling firmly in the hall, and couldn't help but sigh softly, which attracted Wan Sheng on the side, and Lei Zhenting nodded repeatedly.

Until now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yin Piao abandoned the car and protected the coach, leaving himself to protect Nangong He.

After all, this matter was indeed done by Yin Piao, and only the two of them knew how he and Nangong He discussed it. This time, Yin Piao said that these were all his own actions. As long as he bit this confession to death, unless Nangong He stood up and denied what Yin Piao said, no one could put this matter on Nangong He.

Therefore, after hearing what Yin Piao said, Nangong He was full of gratitude after the disaster, but Ma Jin was very sorry that he did not pull Nangong He, the main master, into the water.

However, Ma Jin also knew that with Nangong He's status, even if he really pulled him into the water, as long as he said something and was worried about the country and was not considerate, he would not punish him too much for excuses such as recklessness. He would simply punish him with a salary, and then he would be scolded.

Why don’t you say that you should deal with Yin Piao, and you should give up your anger first?

…………

So Ma Jin immediately stood up and advised Yan Yi to severely punish Yin Piao. After Nangong He escaped the disaster, he slowly recovered his calmness. When he heard Ma Jin demanding severe punishment of Yin Piao, he hurriedly came out to express his feelings.

Although in his heart, Nangong He complained that Yin Piao was not effective in doing things, Yin Piao just took all the blame on him. Such loyal actions also made Nangong He's anger disappear directly.

Besides, Yin Piao fell to this point because of his own guess. It is reasonable and you should stand up to protect him. Otherwise, if the others under him find out, who will work hard for him in the future?

Ma Jin was secretly annoyed because Nangong He escaped. Now, seeing that he dared to stand up and plead for Yin Piao, he caught Nangong He and started to swear. Nangong He was in a disadvantaged position and did not want to offend Ma Jin, so he had to give in repeatedly, and was so angry that he almost couldn't raise his head.

In addition, Di Yi and the other two on the side would obviously not miss such a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and they all beat the drums on the side and besieged Nangong He.

Poor Nangong He, a dignified general of Daqian and one of the top military leaders, was so swept by several people that he couldn't speak. In the end, Yan Yi couldn't bear to see it and spoke out.

………

"You don't have to fight, you will give in. Yin Piao is guilty of a serious crime and should have been exiled. However, considering that he has made military achievements for the court, he is punished for his removal from his official position and will beat him again forty major boards and will not be allowed to serve in the army again.

Nangong's love minister was not strict in discipline, and his salary was fined for one year and transferred to Lu Guang for the purpose of recuperation."

Yan Yi finally gave Nangong He some face. Although he punished Yin Piao severely, he did not directly kill him, leaving room for nothing.

Although Yin Piao was dismissed from his official position this time, he had this favor with Nangong He. In the future, Nangong He would definitely take care of him. He would not dare to say that he would make a comeback, and he would not have to worry about food and drink in the rest of his life.

When Ma Jin saw Yin Piao being beaten with black shi, he was no longer aggressive. After all, Nangong He was not a mud. This time, he was in a disadvantage and he was forced to stumbling on him. But if he kept holding on to death, he would not stand up and just be beaten without fighting back.

If you have it, stop when you see it. Don’t offend people to death, and you can meet again in the future.

Ma Jin thought for a while and stopped talking. Seeing that he was relieved, Yan Yi and Nangong He both breathed a sigh of relief. However, Di Yi and the other two felt a pity.

Why didn’t I take this opportunity to kill Nangong He, the old mao?

…………

This matter was over. Yin Piao was taken down to beat the board. Yan Yi chatted with several people for a while. As it was dark, he left a few people to spend supper in the palace before letting everyone out of the palace...
