Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

A little embarrassing, more unequal.

Just when the scene was slightly cold, a figure suddenly walked up to the Supreme Emperor with a smile on his face.

"Taishanghuang, I don't know if I will go with my prince to send you back to the palace?"

Everyone took a closer look, and found that this person was none other than Ma Zhou, the servant of the province.

Immediately, a greater anger appeared in the eyes of all civil servants.

Previously, this Ma Zhou was appreciated by Li Shimin with Chang He's light, and he entered the court as an official.

Fortunately, his rank is very low, and he can't reach the upper level.

However, such a purer merchant.

The domestic slaves in the Furong Garden were able to enter the court and serve as officials. This is simply the greatest shame for the gentry and officials in the world.

Especially today, this Ma Zhou is shameless, and even called "my prince" in front of so many people.

This kind of servility simply made everyone feel unbearable and sick in their hearts.

Actually, as Ma Zhou said.

From the day he entered the court as an official, he had completely separated from Furongyuan, especially his past.

If it were someone else, my experience as a merchant and a domestic slave would be a shame.

You have to hide it deeply and become the villain in your heart.

But today, Ma Zhou is actually in front of the emperor, empress, supreme emperor, and so many relatives of the emperor, and important officials in the court.

He still used the same appellation as before, simply declaring to the outside world:

Although I am now an official in the court, I have my own identity and status.

But I, Ma Zhou, am still Ma Zhou from Furong Garden.

My prince will always be my prince.

Seeing him like this, Li Qiu also felt warm in his heart. He was moved, but also felt sorry and worthless for Ma Zhou.

At this moment, the Supreme Emperor glanced at Ma Zhou, then said with a smile, "Ma Zhou, I didn't expect you to be here today."

"If you don't say it, I almost forget that you have already entered the court and become an official."

"Okay, it's rare for you two children to show filial piety, so send me back to the palace."

"It's really cold in here."

……

In this way, tonight's dinner party ended with such an absurd scene.

Don't talk about others, even Li Qiu himself can't accept the fact that he is going to be the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

After leaving Da'an Palace, Ma Zhou was directly called by Li Qiu to his palace in Chang'an City.

Anyway, it's deserted here, so it's good to have a chat with Ma Zhou.

Because it is already midnight (after eleven o'clock at night).

After tossing around for most of the night, it is inevitable that I will be a little hungry.

Li Qiu also ordered someone to get some food at random, and chatted with Ma Zhou while eating.

"Oh, Ma Zhou."

"What did I tell you before?"

"Now that you have entered the court and become an official, your status is completely different."

"You must completely sever ties with me, with Furongyuan."

"Only in this way can you have a broader space for development."

"With your talent, your future achievements are limitless."

"But today, you have to defile yourself."

"In this way, you will be squeezed out by other courtiers even more."

"What's wrong with you?"

Ma Zhou snorted contemptuously at this time, and shook his head slightly.

"My lord, do you think that I will completely cut ties with you and Furong Garden just for those officials of the gentry?"

"They can think highly of me and not exclude me?"

"Oh, thanks to the fact that I have always thought about it in my heart, thinking about becoming an official in the court."

"I have waited and hoped for more than ten years, twenty years, and now I finally got my wish."

"But I found that the facts are completely different from what I imagined in my heart."

"Being with such a group of people will not only fail to realize the slightest ideal."

"And it's far less happy than when I was in the Hibiscus Garden."

"They look down on me, Ma Zhou, and in my heart, they also look down on them."

"And, most importantly."

"My lord, you are kind to me."

"I, Ma Zhou, have this life, and it belongs to you, my lord."

"Today, my lord, you have encountered a difficult situation. If I don't stand up, when will I wait?"

"It's you, the prince, who is now the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty."

"Be careful."

"I believe that when the court tomorrow morning, many people will make things difficult for the prince."

Chapter 704 Control, Li Chengqian

Hearing Ma Zhou's words, Li Qiu smiled fearlessly.

"As you know, I have never been afraid of these civil servants."

"Also, Ma Zhou, you don't have to underestimate yourself."

"Although the current imperial court has its disadvantages."

"But in the Tang Dynasty, there is also a sage monarch and many direct and capable ministers."

"The situation in the future will definitely get better and better."

"And you, sooner or later, will definitely have the opportunity to make a career."

"For the country, for the people."

"The name will remain in history."

……

On the other side, after returning from Da'an Palace to their respective mansions.

Too many people are too emotional to sleep.

In the Prince's East Palace, Li Chengqian changed his clothes under the service of Xinxin.

On the one hand, he recounted what happened today angrily.

"This is the emperor. Since I was young, he has favored Li Tai."

"Today, he is even more contemptuous of me in front of so many royal relatives, nobles, princes and ministers."

"Just say I'm a lame?!"

"He's absolutely disgusting!"

"You didn't see the eyes and expressions of those people around at that time."

"Although they dare not show anything on the surface, I can still see the smile in their eyes."

"It's all schadenfreude!"

"No, I really can't bear this damn foot disease."

"Xingxin, did you mention before that in the worst case, my foot disease can get better?"

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Xin Xin frowned.

"Your Highness, your foot disease is at the limit of what you can treat with all your heart."

"It couldn't be better."

"Also, isn't your foot disease much better than before?"

"It became painless, and walking became easier."

"The only thing is that it looks a little lame..."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian shook his head violently.

"It hurts, as long as I don't tell it myself, no one will know."

"But this lameness can be seen by anyone with eyes."

"You may not know much about the etiquette and traditions of our Datang side."

"A lame prince is definitely a bad omen for the country."

"So, I can't go on like this."

"At least it seems that you can no longer be so lame!"

"You see, with the past few months, my foot disease has improved."

"How many of those courtiers are starting to approach our East Palace again."

"Even Father, treats me much better than before."

"But once this foot disease stops, they may become the same as before."

"Xingxin, if there is still a way to cure my foot disease, you can give it a go."

"No matter how much pain and suffering, I am willing to bear it."

At this time, while holding Li Chengqian's hand gently, Xinxin shook her head with firm eyes.

"Your Highness, Xinxin is your man."

"I want to stay by Your Highness's side all my life."

"If there is really a way to treat Your Highness, how could it not be given to you?"

"His Highness has suffered from foot disease for too many years."

"Being able to treat it like this is already beyond expectations, the limit."

"For His Highness, this is already the best result."

"Although there are related secret techniques in the medicine wheel bag passed down by the teacher."

"However, even if that kind of thing is on the grassland, it is listed as a forbidden technique."

"The potential harm is enormous."

"Even Xinxin has no certainty of what it will become by then."

"That's why I can't agree to your Highness."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help frowning, and asked seriously: "Xinxin, can the forbidden technique in the medicine wheel bag you mentioned cure my foot disease?"

"At least he looks like a normal person, no longer limping."

At this time, Xin Xin nodded, "This point should be achieved."

"It's just that this forbidden technique doesn't really cure His Highness's foot disease."

"It's more like postponing His Highness's foot disease for a certain period of time."

"This time may be five years, eight years, ten years."
