    ?

    After Ma Zhou left Li's house, he went straight back to the post house where he lived.  It was getting late gradually. After all, when Ma Zhou went to see Li Xian, it was already late. He was delayed in Li's house for some time, and returned to the place where he lived. By now, it was very close to evening.

    Ma Zhou tidied up again and waited quietly.  For Ma Zhou, the wait was not long. He read the book without feeling the passage of time.  When there was a knock on the door, the attendant entered and reported that the carriage to welcome Ma Zhou had arrived.

    Ma Zhou got up and left the post house where he lived, boarded the carriage, and headed for the imperial city.

    After entering the imperial city, Ma Zhou went straight into the hall.  Today's Ma Zhou is the protagonist at the banquet, so sitting first on the left has nothing to do with his official position, just because Ma Zhou is Du Qi's envoy.

    For this alone, Ma Zhou can be at the forefront.  After Ma Zhou took his seat, his eyes fell on the person directly opposite him, who was indeed Changsun Wuji.  When Ma Zhou was in Chang'an, he met Changsun Wuji. He knew Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji didn't know him at that time.

    Ma Zhou saw Changsun Wuji staring at him with hostile eyes, but Ma Zhou smiled indifferently.

    For Ma Zhou, he didn't care at all.

    No matter how angry Changsun Wuji was, he had to let his son, Changsun, rush to the Western Regions as a hostage.

    Ma Zhou glanced at the hall.

    Now there are officials entering one after another, and the officials gather one by one. They are all the mainstays of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all well-known existences in the court.  In the past, when Ma Zhou saw the princes in the hall, no matter what rank they were, even officials from the fifth rank like his father-in-law Li Xian were extremely distant to Ma Zhou.  It is the object that Ma Zhou needs to look up to.

    Today is different, no matter what title or status, except for the emperor, Ma Zhou is not afraid of anyone, and sits calmly waiting for Li Shimin's arrival.

    At the end of the right side of the main hall, Li Xian took his seat.

    ? After all, Li Xian is just an insignificant official in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites itself is not a yamen with plenty of oil and water, but a yamen with clear water, so Li Xian is at the end.  Just at Li Xian's position, I saw Ma Zhou.  In fact, the moment Li Xian saw Ma Zhou, Li Xian was in a daze.

    what happened?

    How did Ma Zhou get to the front?

    You know, Li Xiancai had a conflict with Ma Zhou earlier in the afternoon, and Li Xian looked down on Ma Zhou in every possible way.  But now, Ma Zhou ran to the front.

    Li Xian came to attend today's banquet, which was notified by the Minister of Rites. In fact, Li Xian didn't know what it was, and he didn't ask, so Li Xian was stunned and didn't know why.

    When Li Xiangang was about to ask, a person beside him said: "Brother Li, I think the person in front looks like your son-in-law Ma Zhou! I was at your house that day, and when we were chatting, Ma Zhou came to visit. It's just that  At that time, Ma Zhou was quite downcast and had no official position. Although he looks different today with his gorgeous clothes, I heard that His Majesty hosted a banquet to cleanse Ma Zhou. Especially Ma Zhou, for some reason, turned out to be Pingxi King Du Qi¡¯s  Envoy."

    This person's name is Zhu You.

    I also met in the Ministry of Rites. Like Li Xian, he is a doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

    In Zhu You's words, there is even more admiration.  With a smile on his face, he said: "Brother Li, I know you look down on Ma Zhou, thinking that he is not worthy to marry your daughter. But you see that Ma Zhou is not easy now. You have this son-in-law, yes  Your help has been enormous."

    Li Xian's cheeks twitched slightly.

    At this moment, Li Xian was extremely embarrassed, because he once scolded Ma Zhou, thinking that Ma Zhou would never be able to get ahead in his life.  Now when he sees Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou has changed a lot.

    Li Xian didn't speak because he felt embarrassed.

    "Your Majesty is here!"

    At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the main hall.  Accompanied by Tang Zhen's voice, Li Shimin stepped in wearing a dragon robe.  Today's Li Shimin is full of pomp and majesty.

    When Li Shimin entered, he glanced imperceptibly at Li Xian at the end.  In a short time, Li Shimin already knew the details of Ma Zhou.  Since a banquet was going to be held to clean up Ma Zhou's situation, Li Shimin would arrange for someone to inquire about Ma Zhou's situation.

    From Ma Zhou's birthplace, to Ma Zhou's life, and Ma Zhou's departure with Wang Ji, Li Shimin already knew all the news.  Under this premise, Li Shimin can operate easily.

    Li Shimin entered the main seat and took a seat, and all the Chinese and military officials saluted Li Shimin.

    Ma Zhou just bowed slightly to salute. Now he represents Du Qi, so naturally he can't lose face.

    ? Li Shimin asked everyone to sit down, with a clear expression on his facep; Li Shimin picked up the wine bottle and drank again.

    Ma Zhou also picked up the wine bottle to drink.

    It's just that Ma Zhou's drinking capacity is not particularly good. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, even if courtiers came to toast, Ma Zhou shirked it and stopped drinking heavily, just a symbolic compliment.

    ? Li Shimin held a banquet to welcome Ma Zhou, and even had the idea of ??getting Ma Zhou drunk and wanting to see Ma Zhou's jokes.  However, Ma Zhou was so restrained, Li Shimin had no choice but to be too lazy to persuade him to drink, and the banquet ended like this.

    The courtiers left separately.

    Ma Zhou also went out. After Ma Zhou left the main hall, he accelerated his speed.  He wanted to return to the post house where he lived, and then pack up. He would leave for the Western Regions early tomorrow morning. After all, the mission of the mission had already been completed.

    Li Xian left the palace, but followed him.

    "Ma Zhou, wait a minute."

    Li Xian quickly chased after him with a smile on his face.  His official position was favored by Ma Zhou, and most importantly, when Li Xian came out of the palace, a servant handed him a note.  The content of the note was very simple, it was to let him establish a good relationship with Ma Zhou and persuade Ma Zhou to return to Datang to serve.

    This is obviously the emperor's arrangement.

    Li Xian didn't even have the confidence to refuse, even if his relationship with Ma Zhou was very tense.  But at this point, Li Xian could only abandon his self-esteem and face, and take the initiative to step forward.

    When Ma Zhou saw Li Xian, he knew in his heart that this was Li Shimin's trick, intending to use Li Xian to win him over.  Or, even if they fail to win over, there will be a rift between him and Du Qi, at least making Du Qi suspicious of him.

    Even, let Du Qi not reuse him.

    This is Ma Zhou's judgment.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
