Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan decided to meet the emperor early the next morning. At the same time, Wei Jinzhong was also stepping up his plan to "get rid of the horse"...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan went to the palace early in the morning to meet Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao.
The sudden appearance of Ma Xiaoquan disrupted Wei Jinzhong's original plan.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan arrogantly walking into the Qianqing Palace, Wei Jinzhong felt very uncomfortable.
Wei Jinzhong knew very well the details of Ma Xiaoquan's martial arts, and he also knew that Ma Xiao had a flame girl attached to his body. If Wei Jinzhong was afraid, it was entirely because of the flame girl... remembering that the flame girl had burned his "old man" ", Wei Jinzhong felt a burst of bitterness in his heart.
Infinite hatred surged through Wei Jinzhong's body. Although he was fine, his private place was burned down. Who wouldn't be depressed?
"No, I have to work harder and get hold of that naughty bitch Ke Yinyue as soon as possible, damn it," Wei Jinzhong muttered to himself and left Qianqing Palace.
In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Youxiao happily hugged Ma Xiaoquan, for no other reason than because Ma Xiaoquan had given him toilet paper in the toilet.
"Ma Aiqing, where have you been these past two months?"
Although Ma Xiaoquan wanted to repeat the reason he told Li Qinghan, he knew that Zhu Youxiao was not lewd. What he liked was carpentry.
As the saying goes, on that trip back, brother Zheng Yun gave Ma Xiaoquan six small steel balls. Well... take two out and give them to Zhu Youxiao.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I am nominally going out for fun this time. In fact, I am going to look for the mechanism skills left behind by the previous dynasty."
Zhu Youxiao happened to be studying mechanism skills recently because he wanted his new wooden bird to fly.
"Mechanism technique? That's great, Ma Aiqing, you are really my soulmate. Did you know that I have also been studying mechanism recently?"
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, Your Majesty, you are also studying institutions. That's great. Just in time. I got two little Mohist gadgets here, just to present them to the Emperor."
"The Mo family? Hmm? You are talking about the reclusive family that has existed since the Warring States Period. The Mo family?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Although it is difficult to find the Moh family, some of the Moh family's mechanism skills have been spread. Unfortunately, Wei Chen did not find many records, and only bought this from a mysterious old man. Two steel balls.”
As Ma Xiaoquan said this, he reached out and took out two steel balls from his arms and handed them to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao carefully took the steel ball, shook it and looked at it in front of his eyes. After working for a long time, he couldn't see anything.
"Ma Aiqing, I'm afraid this is just an ordinary steel ball. Why can't I see any difference at all?" Zhu Youxiao said.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and thought, of course you can't tell. When Brother Zheng Yun gave it to me, he specifically told me how to use it. Hehe, the two pills I gave you were just for fun, and the remaining ones Four pills are my trump card, Ma Xiaoquan. Well, I won’t give them to you either.
"Your Majesty," Ma Xiaoquan said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please give the steel ball to Wei Chen, and Wei Chen will demonstrate it to you."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and returned one of the steel balls to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan took the steel ball and smashed it gently on the ground. He heard two clicks, and the originally smooth surface of the steel ball began to show sieve holes. Then, dazzling colored lights shot out from the sieve holes.
.
"Wow?" Zhu Youxiao was fascinated by the colorful light in front of him and kept clapping his hands.
It lasted about one stick of incense before the colorful light gradually dissipated.
Ma Xiaoquan bowed down and picked up the small steel ball from the ground, and respectfully said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, this small steel ball can still be used as long as it is left for a few days!"
"Can it still be used?" Zhu Youxiao snatched the small steel ball from Ma Xiaoquan's hand, replaced it with another one and said to Ma Xiaoquan: "What about this one? Is it the same as the first one? Go ahead.
Just throw it into the ground?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes"
"That's great." Zhu Youxiao was extremely happy. He didn't expect that Ma Aiqing would find something good for him after being away for two months.
"Come here, give me a reward! Ma Aiqing." Zhu Youxiao carefully collected the steel ball and asked Ma Xiaoquan, "Ma Aiqing, I want to give you an official title. What official position do you want? Uh, it can't be high.
It's the fifth grade, otherwise it would be difficult for me to explain."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, feeling overjoyed. This Zhu Carpenter is so easy to fool. Two small steel balls can make you a high official. If I had known, six of them would have been given to you.
Although Ma Xiaoquan is a royal guard and has a small token given by the emperor, he is only a deputy seventh rank after all, and is simply not worth mentioning.
Chinese officials, to put it mildly, have to sharpen their heads and climb higher.
As your official rank increases, not only your remuneration, but also the respect people have for you will also change qualitatively.
With Ma Xiaoquan's current official rank, his annual salary is very small. But if he becomes the fifth rank, wow, not only will his salary be greatly improved, but also all aspects will be greatly improved.
"Your Majesty," Ma Xiaoquan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, lowered his head and said, "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness. I dare not ask for anything. Your Majesty, please give it to me."
Zhu Youxiao curled his lips and thought for a moment, then said: "Let's do this. I'll give you a fifth-grade deputy first. Well, I'll give you one more note on that little token. Well, just say that you are available at any time.
You can go out to do errands at any time, of course, you must do errands for me, well, then I won't worry about you."
As soon as Zhu Youxiao said these words, Ma Xiaoquan was very happy. Good guy, they all say that the emperor has great power. I didn't expect that the emperor's power is so great. As soon as he opened his mouth, he set a "freedom" for himself. Hehe, as long as he wants to do it in the future
Whatever you order, at most you can go anywhere in the name of working for the emperor. More importantly, you don’t have to ask for leave, it doesn’t count as absenteeism, and you can get a fucking fifth-grade salary. Fuck, even thinking about it
I feel so sour and refreshed that I can't stop.
Zhu Youxiao was particularly cheerful today. As soon as the canonization order came out, he immediately called Wang An over and ordered Wang An to draft a canonization letter in front of Ma Xiaoquan and stamped it with the emperor's seal.
"Ma Aiqing, take this book of canonization to the Ministry of Personnel. Wang An still has something to do."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and after watching Wang An leave, he held his hands and pretended to kneel down and shouted: "Assist Long En, my emperor will sleep forever and sleep forever."
