Before Li Chengqian came to Ma Zhou's courtyard, Xue Yuanchao first entered Ma Zhou's courtyard and excitedly told Ma Zhou about the situation where the ministers welcomed Li Chengqian.

Ma Zhou is very ill these days and rarely speaks. Every time Xue Yuanchao tells him nothing, he doesn't expect Ma Zhou to express his opinion. This time, the same is true. After Xue Yuanchao finished speaking, he looked at Ma Zhou quietly. After all, Li Chengqian was appointed as the third-rank official of Ma Zhou, which is also a happy event for Ma Zhou now.

Seeing Ma Zhou's swollen face appearing a faint smile, Xue Yuanchao said happily: "Teacher, please raise your spirit first. Later, the Prince's Palace came down to visit you. You can talk to him more."

"No, I will never see Your Highness the Crown Prince in this life." Ma Zhou said weakly and firmly with a smile on his face.

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Xue Yuanchao did not understand for a moment.

Ma Zhou looked at Xue Yuanchao and said weakly: "I have received the grace of Your Majesty now. Your Majesty has not passed the throne to Your Highness. If I have received the title of Your Highness, wouldn't I become a minister who is against the Lord?"

Xue Yuanchao understood what Ma Zhou meant after hearing it. The conversation between Chu Suiliang and Li Chengqian before receiving the order flashed through his mind. He realized that they had made a major decision in just a few words.

"But His Highness the Crown Prince wants to be the emperor. How can the teacher ignore the safety of the world?" Xue Yuanchao said helplessly.

The meaning of this is that if Ma Zhou does not accept Li Chengqian's will, it will be a big blow to Li Chengqian's prestige.

"So I can't see His Royal Highness." Although Ma Zhou's tone was weak, the meaning in his words was very firm.

Xue Yuanchao's face became solemn when he heard this, and he slowly stood up and said, "Students go and stop His Highness the Crown Prince."

Ma Zhou looked at him, smiled on his face, and reluctantly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Why should I be so troublesome?"

"Ah!" Xue Yuanchao looked at Ma Zhou inexplicably.

"How many days have I sent the letter to His Majesty?" Ma Zhou asked again.

"Four days?" Xue Yuanchao replied immediately.

This is what Ma Zhou is most concerned about these days. Xue Yuanchao counts the days every day.

Ma Zhou nodded, turned his head and looked west with difficulty, and said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty, you have the kindness of knowing me. Let me be a humble minority, be the prime minister, ruled the Tang Dynasty for several years, and be famous in history. This is all I can repay Your Majesty..."

Xue Yuanchao looked at Ma Zhou carefully, but he didn't know when Ma Zhou stopped breathing.

At present, Li Shimin is not coming out of the deep palace in Chang'an City, and Changsun Wuji can be said to be a cover of the sky with one hand.

However, Ma Zhou's letter was delivered to Li Shimin's desk as fast as possible.

In May, Li Shimin moved from Ganlu Hall to Xianchi Hall because of the hot weather. In June, the weather became even hotter. In order to slow down the cold air emitted from the ice in the hall, Li Shimin even ordered people to set up multiple black tents in the hall.

The black tents not only completely blocked the sunlight outside the hall, but also divided the hall into a maze. Li Shimin also ordered the eunuchs beside him that fire was not allowed in other places except for him and an aisle that leads to the main entrance.

This makes this palace with the same name as the legendary sun bathing place, which is yin and erect.

At this time, Li Shimin was watching the letter Ma Zhou wrote to him in the only place with candlelight in this yin hall.

Li Shimin looked at Ma Zhou's last writing, and his eyes were blurred by tears at some point. The scene of his first meeting with Ma Zhou twenty years ago appeared in front of him.

How great that time!

Li Shimin sighed in his heart.

He was in good health and felt endless power every day to make a shocking career. At this time, he discovered the talented young Ma Zhou, and from then on, the king and his subjects got along... Everything was over.

I don’t know how long it took Li Shimin and said in a low voice: “Don’t forget to posthumously enthrone Ma Zhou’s official position in the future.”

"My son follows the order."

A young man in the eunuch's uniform bowed in the shadow behind Li Shimin.

This young man is no one else but Li Ke who secretly returned to Beijing. In order to cover up, Li Ke pretended to be an eunuch and followed Li Shimin.

From what Li Shimin just explained the funeral, he obviously regarded Li Ke as his successor.

Li Ke was naturally happy to get such treatment from Li Shimin, but when he thought of Li Shimin's current situation, he felt frustrated again. After a while of silence, Li Ke spoke up to remind Li Shimin, "It's time for the day that my elder brother should come to Luoyang today."

"Um."

Li Shimin let out a light whisper and obviously didn't want to mention Li Chengqian more. After a while, he said, "Changsun Wuji should be anxious."

"Didn't my father say that Changsun Wuji intends to lead his elder brother into Chang'an City?" Li Ke asked in confusion.

Li Shimin now regards Li Ke as his heir. Seeing that Li Ke is puzzled, he explained to him: "Changsun Wuji does not want to use his weapons with the rebellious son to cause chaos in the world. The victory or defeat is only between 55, so he wants to lead the rebellious son into Chang'an City, and then use my hand to hoe the rebellious son.

But now, the unspoken son has not made any major mistakes when he has walked all the way to Luoyang. If the unspoken son successfully leads the army to Chang'an, Changsun Wuji is at a disadvantage and may be destroyed by the unspoken son at any time."

"What will Changsun Wuji do?"

In the past, Li Ke thought he was a bit strategic. This time, he was dizzy by Li Chengqian Branch, and then he saw that Li Shimin was unpredictable and profound. Changsun Wuji was scheming and thoughtful, and he was really unable to deal with it for a moment.

After hearing Li Ke's words, Li Shimin said directly: "He wants to fight against the rebellious son in Tongguan."

After saying that, Li Shimin put something heavily on the desk and said, "Let me go back and give this thing to Changsun Wuji."

When Li Ke looked up the thing, he saw that it was a fish talisman for the transfer of troops. He couldn't help but be shocked: "How can Father give him this thing? If Changsun Wuji could transfer troops, would he attack Tai Chi Palace first?"

Li Shimin didn't care after hearing this, and said in a contemptuous tone: "If Changsun Wuji had the courage to attack Tai Chi Palace, he would have died ten thousand times long ago."

Li Ke couldn't help looking at Li Shimin when he first entered Chang'an. When he saw Li Shimin hiding in such a gloomy place, he didn't dare to let him serve him openly, thinking that Li Shimin's power was controlled by Changsun Wuji.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin had a backhand, so he turned his head and looked at the fish talisman on the desk, and thought to himself: Yes, the father still firmly grasps the military power.

When Li Ke thought of this, he felt that his chance of winning was greater than that of Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin and his son were talking in the Xianchi Hall, and Li Zhi had just arrived in the Secretariat to meet Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji was wearing an extremely expensive purple official uniform, sitting in the main hall of the Shangshu Province, holding a small sheep hair and writing instructions on the memorials in a stroke and stroke.

When Li Zhi walked in, he saw that Changsun Wuji was still handling the official documents steadily, and he couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Li Chengqian has arrived in Luoyang, why didn't his uncle go to see his father?"

Li Zhi was very upset now. Li Shimin hadn't seen him for more than a month. These days he suddenly realized that he had nothing but the identity of a prince.

Changsun Wuji was writing on a document. After hearing Li Zhi's words, he didn't even raise his eyelids. He continued to write fly head small calligraphy slowly. He didn't put down the pen in his hand until he finished writing the handling opinions. He rubbed his sore wrist and said lightly: "Your Highness King Jin is too anxious."

Li Zhi's face turned red with shame because Changsun Wuji stood there and shouted a few times, looked at Changsun Wuji's calm face and hurriedly stopped.

Changsun Wuji was very satisfied when he saw this, but sighed and said, "Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. Now he doesn't believe it. How could he give me the military talisman easily?"

"Then, then, what should we do?" Li Zhi continued to pretend to be ignorant.

Changsun Wuji took a look at Li Zhi who was anxious and lowered his eyelids and said indifferently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty doesn't want Li Chengqian to enter Chang'an City smoothly. The military talisman will definitely be given in the next few days."

"I'm relieved if my uncle says this." Li Zhi said as if he was relieved.

Seeing his incredible appearance, Changsun Wuji didn't care, and said slowly: "Since His Highness, King Jin, is here, go and do one thing."

"What's the matter?" Li Zhi asked anxiously.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Zhi Youran and said, "I heard that the gold stored in Huitong Gold Name has been used to buy people's hearts. The people who deposited the gold still don't know."

The gold of Huitong Jincao was forcibly asked by Changsun Wuji to build the Golden Platform. However, now Li Shimin no longer has hope for immortality and immortality. The Golden Platform he built is abandoned on Jade Mountain and is often stolen.

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this and asked blankly: "Who has bought people's hearts?"

Changsun Wuji felt angry when he heard this and said angrily: "Of course it's Li Chengqian. He doesn't use gold to buy people's hearts. Why should the soldiers work hard for him?"

Li Zhi was stunned and said loudly: "What my uncle said is that gold was taken away by Li Chengqian and was sought to win people's hearts."

Changsun Wuji's face was a little slow, and he said righteously: "Li Chengqian is so crazy that everyone in the world should see his true face."
