"Please!" Luo Xin stood up and bowed deeply to Ma Fang.

Ma Fang hurriedly supported Luo Xin and said, "This is the responsibility of our soldiers. You should not be so generous to you. But if you face Goryeo alone, I will not be under a lot of pressure. I am afraid of the grassland..."

"I'll solve this."

"Then it's OK."

"Let's leave tomorrow?"

"Um!"

"I'll give you tomorrow."

"good!"

"No, can our Ming Dynasty really pass this level?"

"Yes, sure."

Ma Fang was silent for a moment and sighed, "If Your Majesty can reuse the unused weapon, I believe that the Ming Dynasty can pass this level. If you can enter the cabinet in another ten years, I firmly believe that the Ming Dynasty will once again go to glory. But..."

Luo Xin also went silent. Ma Fang looked at Luo Xin and said, "No, we are also living a life-long friendship, right?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded.

Ma Fang smiled and said, "You have been in a dim position in recent years, like walking on thin ice. If something hadn't happened to the Ming Dynasty now, I'm afraid you would still be in the prison of the Jinyiwei."

Luo Xin nodded with a wry smile: "Brother, we don't need to say anything. Your Majesty is afraid of me, it would be nice if you don't kill me."

"Not all!" Ma Fang shook his head and said, "In fact, it's not just you, Zhang Juzheng, Guo Pu and others, and their careers are also bleak. Logically speaking, you are all excellent in the evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel. With this evaluation, you must be a minister who ruled the world and must be promoted. However, Zhang Juzheng, who is older than you and older than you, is just the prefect of Hangzhou. Do you know what this means?"

“What does it mean?”

"Your Majesty is not confused. If all the ministers who rule the world like you abandoned them like their pawns, the Ming Dynasty would have been dead long ago."

"Brother is so serious."

"Not heavy at all." Ma Fang shook her head.

Luo Xin had already made speculation in his heart, but he bowed to Ma Fang and said, "I'd like to give me some advice."

Ma Fang glanced at Luo Xin and said, "With your wisdom, you should have speculated. Your Majesty is not that you can't see your abilities, but Your Majesty hides you and leaves it for his son to use."

"Will Your Majesty really think so?" Although Luo Xin speculated, he still couldn't believe it.

Ma Fang shook his head and said, "No, you are extremely wise, but you are still too young. In fact, it's not just you, but Zhang Juzheng is also too young. Take you as an example. You fought south and north and solved the finances of the Ming Dynasty. If you were a person in your forties, you might have already entered the cabinet at this time. However, you are only twenty-two years old now, and you are at this age, and you are in a high position and hold a heavy power. What about ten years later?

Ten years later, you will definitely be highly recommended by your disciples and old officials. Even if you don’t form a party, you will automatically form a party. At that time, the imperial power will definitely fall."

Seeing Luo Xin's face change slightly, Ma Fang said again: "Will your majesty's heroic power leave this hidden danger for his son? Your majesty fought with civil servants for a lifetime. The great etiquette at that time was actually a battle for power between imperial power and civil servants. Your majesty wanted to take charge of the court alone, and civil servants wanted to let the holy emperor rule. In the end, Your Majesty broke the backbone of the civil servants, but also brought the Ming Dynasty to a downhill road."

Luo Xin admired Ma Fang, but he didn't expect that Ma Fang, a military officer, could see things so clearly. Thinking about Ma Fang's age, he felt relieved.

"Brother, Zhang Juzheng and I are different." Luo Xin whispered: "They are all simple civil servants, but I have fought in the south and north, and have a lot of connections with the military."

"Yes!" Ma Fang sighed, "But you did a good job. At least, on the surface, you have broken ties with the military."

"But now, I'm afraid it's going to be connected again." Luo Xin said with a wry smile. This time he was responsible for encircling and suppressing bandits. How could he not have contact with the military?

"This is a solution, but it is not a solution."

Luo Xin's eyes lit up: "Brother, what are the best solutions?"

"Hold together to keep warm."

"Hold together to keep warm?"

"Yes, you are still too thin now. You can't stand together with the military to keep warm. That's the way to die. However, since you became an official, you have not had many like-minded friends in the civil service system."

"I……"

"I know what you want to say, you want to say the people of the Revival Society. They should be able to help you in the future. But now, they are still too weak.

Not counting them, do you have friends who can help you now? Take this time when you went to jail for example. Are there officials above the fourth rank and above speaking for you?"

Luo Xin looked ugly. Ma Fang continued, "Even if you are extremely wise, you can't beat four hands with two fists. A tiger can't hold back the wolves. If you put you in prison, Xu Jie didn't even show up, but his wolves did it."

Luo Xin said with a bitter expression: "I know too, but I am too young and have been promoted quickly, so there is less process."

"The law does not punish the masses, this masses is very important. Moreover, there are three stakes for a fence, and three heroes. If you want to do something in the future, you must make friends with a group of officials of the fifth grade or above. It is best to make friends with some officials of the fourth grade and third grade. Once there is danger, everyone will go together. Once you reach this level, even Your Majesty will not dare to kill you, and at most you will leave you idle. With your current strength, you will make friends with the third grade at most. If you go further, it will not make friends, but you will join us. For example, you will join us with Gao Gong."

"It's not easy! Not to mention the third grade, even the fourth grade are almost divided by Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Even if there are so many who are not divided, how can anyone look at me as a young young man?"

"There is no problem to recruit you now, but you can't do without this idea."

"I understand, thank you brother."

Luo Xin and Ma Fang parted. The next day, they personally sent Ma Fang out of the city gate. Xu Jie and Gao Gong were also sent to Luo Xin. A large army like this went on a war, and as a cabinet, they had to come forward.

"No, go to my place to sit?" Gao Gong walked to Luo Xin and smiled.

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded happily.

The two returned to Gao Gong's pay room, Wang Xijue served tea, then left, and only Luo Xin and Gao Gong were left in the pay room.

Gao Gong looked at Luo Xin and whispered: "No, I heard a message."

"What news?"

"I heard... there was a news spreading in provinces attacked by bandits, saying that the army had no money, and which province would pay one million taels of silver first, then it would go to the province to encircle and suppress the bandits. Moreover, the money was not taxed by the people by the official, but to donate it to merchants, aristocratic families and wealthy families."
