I'm a marquis in Datang

Changsun Wuji thought that if he opened his mouth, he would not be able to win against Du Qi, but Ma Zhou, who came from a poor family, was nothing to be afraid of, so Changsun Wuji said, "Ma Zhou, why do you say that?"

Ma Zhou said, "Duke Qi, you said that the times make heroes, so I'll explain them one by one."

"When King Xia was doing business in Chang'an, did someone run a special fried tea shop, a special stir-fried vegetable restaurant, and a special Xinhua Wenxuan bookstore and newspaper?"

"no!"

"King Xia is the pioneer. From nothing, he overcame obstacles and blazed a path."

Ma Zhou talked eloquently and continued: "Let's talk about dealing with the Western Regions. Li Dayen resisted the Turks in the north and fought against the Turks several times, but he was suppressed by Jieli Khan and the situation was unstable. Ask for help, I hope the imperial court will resist the Turks, in fact, the imperial court has no choice but King Xia sent an envoy to the Turks."

"After King Xia went to Turkic as an envoy, he set up an ambush at Yanmen Pass, and with the help of Li Dayen's troops, he wiped out nearly [-] Turkic troops in one go, severely hurting Turkic vitality."

"Before King Xia, is there anyone who can plan?"

"Without King Xia, can others complete it?"

Ma Zhou's eyes were sharp, and his words were well-founded. Even Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard it.Because the things Ma Zhou listed cannot be refuted.

Du Ruhui sat in it like an old monk, but his eyes were slightly opened, and there was a smile on his face.Because the things Ma Zhou mentioned were all his son's meritorious deeds.

He is proud of Du Qi.

As Du Qi's father, he is honored.

Many officials in the court heard Ma Zhou's words, and many of them had different thoughts in their hearts.Li Xian was undoubtedly the one with the most complicated mood, because when Ma Zhou and Li You returned home, Ma Zhou looked dull and innocent at that time, without any expression of ease.

In front of Ma Zhou, his demeanor is calm, his words are neither humble nor overbearing, and his spirit is high, which makes people admire.Ma Zhou doesn't care what everyone thinks, he only cares about his own thoughts now.

Ma Yi shook his sleeves and said, "One more thing, I heard it from the people around King Xia."

"In the battle against Liu Heita in Hebei in the past, Luo Shixin and Li Daoxuan all died in battle. Even many generals died on the battlefield."

"It can be said that the loss is huge."

"Unfortunately, there is also the hidden prince Li Jiancheng who is aggressive and framing His Majesty everywhere. As a result, His Majesty is helpless and in an extremely difficult situation. For this reason, he sent a letter to King Xia, asking King Xia to go south to Hebei."

"Because of King Xia's plan, it was easy to break through Mingshui County and destroy Liu Heita's army. Duke Qi and the rest of the people were there at the time, so why didn't the situation be resolved?"

Ma Zhou stared at his eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "No matter what the reason was for the Duke of Qi and others to be transferred, but at that time you were able to secretly send a letter to His Majesty, but it did not break the deadlock. It was after King Xia left that the situation was turned around." .”

"Let's not talk about things far away, let's talk about things closer."

"Western Turks are tyrannical, with [-] people, in front of King Xia, their entire army was wiped out."

"Is this the time to make a hero?"

"It's not the times that make heroes, but Xia Wangxiong's great talent, great wisdom and courage, he can rise step by step, and can win like a dog."

Ma Zhou said sternly: "On the contrary, it is the Duke of Qi. You follow His Majesty, even though you are making suggestions for His Majesty. But how many things has been planned by Duke Qi? You are the hero of the times. If it is not for your Majesty's great talent and strategy, you are a generation of heroes. Then your grandson Wu It is impossible for Ji to have today's achievements, and the times make heroes, and we are talking about you. A person like King Xia, no matter when or where he is placed, is in his pocket like a cone, and will appear immediately."

Changsun Wuji's cheeks twitched, feeling his face being slapped.He knows

Du Qi's mouth was extremely powerful.And Ma Zhou in front of him also has Du Qi's demeanor.

Changsun Wuji said: "No matter what, Du Qi has established himself as a country, let alone obeying His Majesty's orders. Such a person is full of wolf ambition. If not, he would not have directly started a war with the imperial court."

"Hahaha…"

When Ma Zhou heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

In the laughter, it was full of disdain.

After a while, Ma Zhou stopped laughing. He stared at Changsun Wuji and said: "The land of the Western Regions is a land without an owner. King Xia used great perseverance and means to expand the territory, not to mention the blessings His Majesty once gave him." Promise, as long as King Xia can take over the area, it will be King Xia's feudal kingdom."

"Even now, King Xia has established himself as a country, and he has submitted a form to His Majesty. It is still a subordinate country of the Tang Dynasty, and still regards the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain country. This shows the sincerity and sincerity of my King Xia."

"On the contrary, Qi Guogong, you were jealous of King Xia's money in the early years, and you were jealous of King Xia's business methods. Now, you are targeting King Xia everywhere. Just because there are people like you who sow discord in the court, the relationship between His Majesty and King Xia There is a conflict between them."

"If it weren't for your eldest grandson Wuji, it wouldn't be like this. The state has courtiers, and the state

If there is no country, the country's fortune will inevitably be damaged.Originally, Datang was in full swing.Now the war with King Xia has caused great losses to Datang. "

Ma Zhou said, "All this is because of your eldest grandson Wuji, who is a courtier."

After Changsun Wuji heard it, his lungs were about to explode.When he was in the Western Regions, Du Qi was so angry that he vomited blood. Although he returned to Chang'an, his body had not fully recovered.Especially during this time, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Now when he heard Ma Zhou's words, he couldn't help but get angry.Even though Changsun Wuji's self-cultivation is good, Chengfu is quite deep.But at the moment, Changsun Wuji was depressed because of Changsun Chong's matter, but now he was stimulated by Ma Zhou and became emotional.

Qi and blood surged up, and his throat suddenly became sweet.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spat out from Changsun Wuji's mouth, and he even rolled his eyes and fell directly to the ground.

Already passed out.

This was after being stimulated by Ma Zhou, which aroused the stagnation in his heart, so he passed out.

Li Shimin was taken aback when he saw it, and felt in his heart that Changsun Wuji is now

, but too fragile.It's just a few words, but it's really embarrassing to be said so that he vomits blood and faints.

Li Shimin immediately called the imperial physician and asked the imperial physician to take Changsun Wuji down for diagnosis and treatment.

Changsun Wuji's position, the scene is still quiet.When they looked at Ma Zhou one by one, there was more awe in their eyes.Because Ma Zhou was able to tell Changsun Wuji that he vomited blood and passed out with just one mouth, which is really amazing.

Seeing this scene, Li Xian regretted it even more.

Great!

Ma Zhou is amazing!

In the past, Li Xian didn't see the slightest sign of Ma Zhou's strength.Li Xian was even more depressed, and sat at the end to drink away his worries, venting his inner frustration.Not to mention the thoughts of each official, Li Shimin saw Ma Zhou's refutation so that his grandson Wuji vomited blood, and he liked Ma Zhou even more in his heart, because Ma Zhou was a talent.

Such a person should work for him.

Li Shimin said: "Ma Zhou, you are indeed Du Qi's envoy, and your mouth is extremely powerful. But Ma Zhou, I still say that people like you need a big platform. The big Tang Dynasty is where you can display your power." The place where you are talented. In barbarian areas like the Western Regions, you are undervalued."

He did it on purpose.

Just to let everyone know that he values ​​Ma Zhou.

The news naturally spread to the Western Regions.

Ma Zhou smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, when I had an audience this afternoon, I had already rejected you. Your Majesty is a master of great promise, with the air of a sage. But to me, King Xia is the real king." It is not only because King Xia is wise and powerful, but also because King Xia has shown me the grace to know and encounter me."

After a pause, Ma Zhou said: "I said before, if there is no King Xia, I would not be what I am now, and His Majesty would not value me. So the root of all this is actually King Xia. In the final analysis, it is King Xia's eyes. know people."
