    ?

    After Du Qi arranged the official positions, he said seriously: "Now the country name and official system have been determined. Next, there is one more thing that is very important."

    Everyone looked at Du Qi again.

    They were all curious about what else Du Qi would say.

    Du Qi said: "The next thing is to arrange for envoys to go to Chang'an to inform the imperial court of the news that I, Du Qi, established a state in the Western Regions. The establishment of the Xia State at the beginning is still a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. This is our attitude."

    As soon as Du Qi's voice fell, Ma Zhou stood up immediately and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Ma Zhou, you must know that I just defeated the army of the Tang Dynasty and even captured Hou Junji. There must be many officials in the court who are hostile to the king. Even if I go to Chang'an as an envoy,  Although it is safe to say that your life is safe, you may actually encounter many difficulties. Have you really considered it?"

    "Think about it."

    Ma Zhou is nearly thirty years old, but now he has achieved nothing.  He has Du Qi's trust, and Ma Zhou hopes that he can make achievements, especially under Du Qi's command, Ma Zhou hopes to make great achievements.

    This is Ma Zhou's consideration.

    Du Qi nodded and said: "Since you have this idea and courage, this king will help you."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    Ma Zhou threw the ground and said in a loud voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely not disgrace the mission and the state of the Great Xia."

    Du Qidao: "This king believes in you."

    Immediately, Du Qi handed over the drafted credentials to Ma Zhou.  This letter of credence is Du Qi's formal establishment of the country in the Western Regions, but he still respects the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain state and is attached to the Tang Dynasty at the same time.

    Ma Zhou took it solemnly, put it away carefully, and returned to his place.

    After Du Qi said some more words, he waved his hands to let everyone back down.

    Du Qi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, until now, he is the real master of the party.  Previously, Du Qi occupied the four states of the Western Regions. Although he could be regarded as the leader of one side, his name was not justified.  But now, it's different, Du Qi is the real leader.

    It is to truly build a country and become a king.

    Du Qi returned to his study to deal with government affairs, while Ma Zhou, Lai Ji, and Wang Ji walked out of the palace together. The three came together, and Ma Zhou and Lai Ji thanked Wang Ji at the same time.

    They can enter Du Qi's vision, directly enter the cabinet, and become Du Qi's advisers and staff, which is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.  If it is an ordinary governor or the like, it is actually the same, and there is not much future.  But as Du Qi's staff, as the staff of the lord of a country, there is a huge difference, and it is a good opportunity.

    Wang Ji shook his head and smiled modestly.

    Wang Ji himself served as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, and he didn't find any difficulty in this official position.  After all, Guozijian is not responsible for specific government affairs, but mainly manages education.

    This is his old profession.

    Wang Ji asked the two to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and finally looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Ma Zhou, you must be cautious when you go to Chang'an. But even if you are cautious, you can't lose the character of the Great Xia Kingdom."  He Guoti. You haven¡¯t had much contact with the King, so you don¡¯t know much about it. But I have known the King for many years, and the King is very concerned about face. You go to Chang¡¯an, which represents the face of the King. The head can be broken, but the state cannot be humiliated.¡±

    Ma Zhou solemnly said: "Mister's teachings, Ma Zhou will keep in mind. Please rest assured, sir, Ma Zhou is not afraid of death, and will not lose the face of the Great Xia Kingdom, and will not humiliate the national system of the Great Xia Kingdom."

    Wang Ji said no more.

    After Ma Zhou and Lai Ji bid farewell to Wang Ji, they came to Shangguanyi's side.

    After all, Shangguanyi is the chief official.

    is the boss of the two.

    Shangguanyi is not very old, but he is extremely humble and peaceful. He only said that he came first for some time, so he had the advantage. He hoped that Ma Zhou, Laiji and him could work together to do things well and live up to Du Qi's trust.

    After saying something briefly, Shangguanyi looked at Ma Zhou and said seriously: "Ma Zhou, I will not say anything superfluous about your mission to Chang'an. I wish you success soon."

    Ma Zhou bowed to thank him, then left the palace and returned to the inn where he lived.

    Ma Zhou still lives in the inn.

    Even Ma Zhou's wife and children were also in the inn.  Ma Zhou was an orphan in his early years, and his parents were dead. He married a wife in Chang'an, and the wife had just been diagnosed by a doctor and was just pregnant.

    Ma Zhou went back to the inn, to the room where the young couple lived.  He looked at his wife, Li Shi, with a smile on his face, and said: "Madam, the king has formally accepted me as he is discussing matters in the palace today."

    Li Shi is a big familyLuxiu, a native of Chang'an, met Ma Zhou in Chang'an, and finally they fell in love.  It's just that Ma Zhou's family is poor, and Ma Zhou's wife, Mrs. Li, eloped directly for Ma Zhou's sake.

    Just because of this, Ma Zhou came to the Western Regions with Wang Ji.  Ma Zhou wants to make some political achievements, and Ma Zhou wants his wife to return home in the future.

    This is his ambition.

    Mrs. Li asked: "What official position does your husband hold now?"

    When Ma Zhou heard this, he scratched his head and said, "I really don't have any official position, but I am the king's adviser.  Ji is my colleague, and the three of us work together. When the king established the country, in addition to the six ministries, a cabinet was specially set up to serve as the king's adviser. Shangguanyi, Lai Ji, and I are members of the cabinet."

    Mrs. Li was born in a big family, and has been educated, so he is extremely intelligent.  She was not dissatisfied because Ma Zhou did not get any official position, but said happily: "Husband, this is an opportunity! The cabinet is where the emperor's close ministers are, and it is where the opportunity lies. The three of you followed the king and waited for a certain period of time."  Husband will be able to increase his rank and rank. Husband, this is an opportunity!"

    Ma Zhou praised: "Madam has eyes!"

    After a pause, Ma Zhou continued: "Right now, I have a task on my shoulders."

    Li Shi said: "What task?"

    Ma Zhou said: "I want to go to the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the king to inform the emperor of the establishment of the country. Originally, the king said that he would send envoys to inform the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I recommended myself and took the initiative to take this matter."

    Li's serious expression said: "Husband, there is a certain danger. But I will not persuade you about the matter you have decided. In short, you must pay attention to your safety when you go here."

    Ma Zhou said: "Madam, don't worry."

    After a pause, Ma Zhou said: "Ma'am, you eloped with me before you left home. Now that you are back in Chang'an, I am the king's envoy. I plan to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law when I return to Chang'an."

    Mrs. Li fell silent. After a long while, Mrs. Li said: "Husband, tell them that in the future I will take the child and go home to visit my relatives. Although I have left Chang'an, I do not regret my decision."

    Ma Zhou nodded solemnly. As a scholar from a poor background, he was favored by Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li didn't despise his family's poverty. He even used the money he had saved since childhood to maintain his family's expenses.

    If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.

    Ma Zhou is not only for himself, but also for his wife, and also hopes to get ahead.  The husband and wife are together, talking privately, talking about the children, and thinking about the future.

    For Li Shi, she has always been very assertive.  She believed in her own judgment and believed that Ma Zhou would be fine in the future.

    Now all this has been proved.

    Ma Zhou is capable.

    It must be able to honor the ancestors.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
