I'm a marquis in Datang

"Farewell!"

Ma Zhou strode away.

Li Xian stayed where he was, looking very disappointed.

Li Xian at this moment was extremely depressed.Because of everything he has done in the past, he has suffered the consequences of himself today.Li Xian dragged his tired body out and lowered his head even more.Although there are still officials going out around, Li Xian is immersed in his own world.

Shame!

He lost all face!

When Ma Zhou walked forward, when he walked a certain distance, he looked back for a while, and then strode away.He knows very well that it is best to keep a distance with Li Xian.Although it is cruel to Li Xian, such cruelty is precisely to protect Li Xian.

.People like Li Xian, if they get involved in the battle, will eventually be devoured until there are no bones left.

Ma Zhou returned to the post house where he lived and went to bed early.

The next day, early in the morning.

Ma Zhou got up in the morning, washed up, and set off after breakfast.It’s just that when he was just about to set off, Tang Zhen, the chief executive, sent a box of gifts, all of which were treasures and jades. He said it was a gift for Ma Zhou, so that he could take care of Ma Zhou on the way, and Ma Zhou took it directly. down.

He didn't refuse, after all, it was money.

Ma Zhou set off to return. On the way back, he felt a lot easier, because the trip to Chang'an not only solved the things arranged by Du Qi, but also solved his worries. It was a good deal no matter what.

Time entered August, and Ma Zhou returned to Gaochang City. He ignored his dusty self and went straight to the palace. When he saw Du Qi in the palace, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"

"sit!"

Du Qi smiled and nodded.

After Ma Zhou thanked him, he sat down and talked about the mission.After talking about the official duties of the envoy and Li Shimin's recognition of Xia's status, Ma Zhou also talked about Li Shimin's recruitment of him, Li Shimin's promotion of Li Xian, and finally the money that Li Shimin gave. All the treasures and jades in the box were sent to Du Qi

.

This is Ma Zhou's magnanimity.

He made things clear.

Hand over your money too.

Avoid any thoughts in Du Qi's mind.

Du Qi smiled and said: "Ma Zhou, if I use you, I will trust you. Employers are not suspicious. If I can't even do this, why bother to let you into the cabinet. In addition, Li Shimin's intentions are very It’s simple, it’s to separate our monarchs and ministers. If you can understand this, that’s enough. You can accept the money Li Shimin gave you. Now that you are settling down in Gaochang, and your child is about to be born, all of this will cost money.”

"Thank you king!"

After Ma Zhou thanked him, he did not refuse.

After a pause, Ma Zhou said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Du Qi said with a smile: "There is something that should be said or should not be said, but it doesn't matter."

Ma Zhou said: "The matter is about Du Xiang. Du Xiang still holds an important position in the Tang court. I heard that Du Xiang resigned from office, but the emperor did not allow it. Du Xiang is still highly regarded."

"Because of the king, many people in the court are targeting Du Xiang, and because of the king, Du Xiang's governance is affected. Therefore, Du Xiang is still quite unhappy in the Tang court."

"According to my opinion, it should be to find a way to get Du Xiang and Du Xiang's family to come to the Western Regions. In this way, on the one hand, it will solve the worries of the king. On the other hand, it will relieve Du Xiang of unsatisfactory Situation."

Ma Zhou said: "After all, Du Xiang has excellent abilities. If Du Xiang goes to the Western Regions, it will also be helpful to us."

Du Qi shook his head and said: "How can I not know about this matter. What my father approves is that the king will live up to me and I will live up to the king. Li Shimin trusts my father very much, and the two parties have a relationship of monarch and minister for decades. Coming to the Western Regions is not an easy task, it is very difficult."

Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty, no matter how difficult it is, it can be done."

Du Qidao: "Ma Zhou, do you plan to get out?"

Ma Zhou said sternly: "Your Majesty, in fact, you have thought too much, but you are holding back everywhere. What I mean is to use force to directly arrange for people to bring Du Xiang, the old lady and others to the Western Regions."

Chapter 857

Ma Zhou Zhimou

Du Qi shook his head and said: "The method you mentioned is useless. The reason is very simple. My father is extremely stubborn. It is almost impossible to bring them out quietly in Chang'an City. In addition, Even if you send people to bring them all out. The problem is, if he is not willing to go to the Western Regions, he will still go back."

Speaking of this, Du Qi sighed: "Of course, I can have various reasons for him to stay in the Western Regions, but in the end it will cause him to feel depressed."

Ma Zhou frowned upon hearing this.

As a subject, you should share your worries with the Lord.What's more, the existence of Du Ruhui greatly hindered Du Qi, and even when it came time to start the war, Du Ruhui was even more important and a link that must be considered.

Ma Zhou's eyeballs rolled, and suddenly he thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, there is another way for a lowly position."

Du Qidao: "Tell me and listen."

Ma Zhou said: "It's actually very simple. It's just replacing people with people. Next, Changsun Chong will come to the Western Regions to exchange for Hou Junji. Although Hou Junji is more important politically than Changsun Chong, it is important to the Changsun family. , that's even more important."

"We can definitely exchange Changsun Chong for Du Xiang's family, and let the Emperor of Tang make an order."

"In this way, even if Du Xiang is reluctant, he is loyal to the emperor and will eventually submit and come to the Western Regions. After this incident, Du Xiang's kindness to the emperor will be cut off."

Ma Zhou said: "After Du Xiang arrived in the Western Regions, with the ability of the king, it should not be difficult to persuade Du Xiang. Besides, at least there are still princes and little princesses."

The son is Du Ye.

This is a given.

After listening to Ma Zhou's words, Du Qi's thoughts turned, and a touch of emotion appeared on his face.

It works.

Du Qi nodded and said: "Ma Zhou, your suggestion is good. After Zhang Sun Chong arrives in Gaochang City, you have full authority over this matter. I only look at the final result, not the process. As soon as something happens, you can arrange it. "

"The minister obeys the order!"

There was a smile on Ma Zhou's face.

For him this is an opportunity.

Although Ma Zhou is in the cabinet and counselor on military affairs, Du Qi's affairs are not trivial, and Du Qi's affairs are all state affairs.So it is also very important to do Du Ruhui's affairs well.

Du Qi waved his hand, and Ma Zhou turned around and retreated.

After Ma Zhou stepped down, Du Qi continued to read.Entering the weather in August, although the daytime is hot, the temperature difference between day and night has actually begun to appear. After the night cools down, it is even cooler, and there is no more heat.

When the night falls, it is the time when children like to play, especially at this time, whether it is Du Ye or Du Yan, they can walk and run, but the running is a little unstable.

Du Qi took Li Yanyun, Qianxue, and the two little ones for a walk in the palace.
