    ?

    ? Chang'an City is extremely prosperous with people coming and going in an endless stream.  The huge city of Chang'an gathered merchants from all directions, making Chang'an not only the political center of the Tang Dynasty, but also the economic center of the Tang Dynasty.

    Especially with the presence of Du Qi in the past few years, commerce has become more developed, and countless goods come in and out of Chang'an City every day.  But even though Chang'an is rich and prosperous, Ma Zhou has no sense of belonging to Chang'an.

    Chang'an is good, but living in Chang'an is not easy.

    In Ma Zhou's heart, he liked Gaochang City in the Western Regions even more.  Although Gaochang City is not as prosperous and prosperous as Chang'an, he feels warmer in Gaochang.  Ma Zhou drove all the way, and he never concealed his identity and purpose.

    When he was in Guazhou before, Ma Zhou told Su Dingfang his mission and asked Su Dingfang to deliver the news.

    So Ma Zhou believed that the emperor already knew that when Ma Zhou entered Chang'an, he temporarily stayed in the post station in Chang'an, and did not go to see Li Shimin immediately.  Ma Zhou went to Du's house first, and forwarded Du Qi's family letter to Du Ruhui.

    Today's Du Ruhui spends most of his time in the mansion and does not participate in government affairs anymore.

    He submitted his resignation form, but Li Shimin did not allow it, so now Du Ruhui pretended to be sick and did not go to court and did not handle government affairs.  Because his son was Du Qi, he didn't want to be caught in the middle, and the emperor sent troops to attack his son, so Du Ruhui was not happy.

    Even so, Du Ruhui never left Chang'an.

    He is from Datang.

    His roots are in Datang.

    And no matter what the emperor did, he never doubted Du Ruhui, so Du Ruhui stayed in Chang'an after all.  Du Ruhui read Du Qi's letter, which included some of Du Qi's reforms in the Western Regions.

    ?Besides this, there were also some people who asked Du Ruhui to go to the Western Regions. This was the first time for Du Qi.  Du Qi was in the Western Regions before, so he was not considered rooted, but now the founding of the country is different.

    After reading the letter, Du Ruhui burned it directly, and said, "Ma Zhou, I have nothing to ask you to come to Datang as Erlang's envoy. Just remember one thing, don't be affected by me.

    After a pause, Du Ruhui continued: "Anyway, you can do what you have to do without worrying about me. And my safety is safe. Besides, I am fine in Chang'an. After you return to the Western Regions, tell Erlang that our family will stay with you."  In Chang'an, I will not leave Chang'an for the time being."

    "yes!"

    Ma Zhou responded directly.

    Ma Zhou is a straightforward person. After sending the letter, he didn't stay any longer, but left Du's house and returned to the inn where he lived.  He didn't go to see him for the time being, but just arranged for someone to buy some gifts, which were to be given to Li's parents.

    The money was given by Mrs. Li.

    The funds arranged by Du Qi were not used.

    Ma Zhou rested for a whole day, and the next morning, after breakfast, Ma Zhou went to the imperial city early.  When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, they asked the guards at the gate of the palace to report.

    When the guards heard that it was about Du Qi, they didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the palace to report.

    Li Shimin had received the news a long time ago, so Ma Zhou met with Li Shimin directly in the main hall.  When Li Shimin saw Ma Zhou entering, he sat upright with a golden sword on his horse, his expression was solemn, his eyes were sharper, his majesty was fully displayed, and he gave people inexplicable pressure.

    Today, Ma Zhou is dressed in a splendid attire, with a broad collar and a large shirt, showing his demeanor.  In particular, although Ma Zhou was born in a poor family, his appearance is imposing, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.  Ma Zhou, who is nearly thirty years old, has left a lot of weather on his face, but it makes Ma Zhou look more calm.  Facing Li Shimin, Ma Zhou stepped forward neither humble nor overbearing, cupped his hands and said, "Ma Zhou, envoy of the Xia Kingdom, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

    He bowed and saluted.

    Said to be the envoy of Xia Guo.

    Li Shimin frowned when he heard Ma Zhou's words.  Before Li Shimin opened his mouth, he saw Ma Zhou had already taken out the letter of credence from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is the letter of credence presented by my king. Please read it."

    Tang Zhen stepped forward to take it and put it in front of Li Shimin.  Li Shimin opened the letter and browsed quickly. After reading the contents of the letter, he felt a little relieved.  Because Du Qi's letter of credence mentions that the country is established as Xia, and he still respects the Tang Dynasty.

    After reading it, Li Shimin was slightly relieved, but then seemed a little unhappy again.  Because Du Qi is an independent Xia country, it is equal to a separate regime.  No matter what, the emotions in Li Shimin's heart are dominated by bad emotions.

    Du Qi is out of control.

    Li Shimin took a deep breath, suppressed his inner emotions, looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Ma Zhou, what's the matter, did you come to demonstrate against me under Du Qi's order? Before in the Western Regions, I spared Du Qiyi  Why, he never attacked him directly. Now that he has gained an inch and established himself as the Xia Kingdom, he even sent you to Chang'an to demonstrate, because he thinks that I dare not kill you? Even if I kill you, Du Qi would not dare to do anything?"

      Ma Zhou looked very calm, without the slightest fear, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is a wise monarch, you should know that the two armies will not be beheaded when they are at war, let alone I am on behalf of the Xia Kingdom. Of course, if your majesty wants to be an unreasonable and foolish king,  If you want to kill me, I have no objection. As an envoy, if you don't even have this awareness, why bother to go on an envoy?"

    Li Shimin said: "It's quite courageous."

    Ma Zhou said: "Before coming down to the Tang Dynasty, King Xia once said that His Majesty is a sage, an emperor through the ages, and a wise lord who will create a prosperous world for a generation. I believe King Xia's words, so I don't worry about being killed. Once I die  Now, the Holy Monarch, the One Emperor through the Ages, and the Lord of Wiseness will not fall on His Majesty's head."

    "Hahaha¡­¡­"

    After Li Shimin heard it, he couldn't help laughing.

    In the laughter, I was quite happy.

    But more emotional.

    After Li Shimin laughed, he suddenly said: "Ma Zhou, your appearance, the tone of your words, is quite similar to Du Qi's style back then. Du Qi was also like this in the past, and his mouth is full of admiration  .¡±

    Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty praises King Xia for his wisdom and martial arts. I dare not compare him with King Xia."

    Along the way, Ma Zhou was thinking about how to face Li Shimin. In the end, Ma Zhou came up with a way to praise Li Shimin, because Li Shimin was indeed a promising leader and extremely powerful.  Li Shimin has a pursuit, he does not believe that Li Shimin will kill him.

    After Li Shimin laughed, his expression became serious: "Ma Zhou, what position do you hold by Du Qi's side?"

    Ma Zhou spoke calmly, and said, "I am by King Xia's side, and I am just a small advisor. In layman's terms, I am King Xia's staff, nothing more."

    Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Ma Zhou, as long as you are willing to serve me. I appointed you as a direct bachelor of Hongwenguan and allowed you to work in Hongwenguan. You should know that Hongwenguan is a place where scholars gather.  There are a lot of talents. As long as you stand out among them, it will be easy for you to succeed in the future."

    Ma Zhou chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, you made a mistake. If there is no King Xia, I would not be what I am now. Without the current me, I would not be favored by Your Majesty. So in the final analysis, it is King Xia's promotion. Chang Li Ma  Yes, but there are very few Bole. King Xia has shown me kindness, how can I live up to King Xia¡¯s trust.¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website: www.hlnovel.com
