Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1008 Ma Zhou (continued)

This is Li Shan's promise, and this is the credit of you, King Ma Bin, and you will definitely let King Qin know.

Ma Zhou still believed in this, and just sighed: "I hope everything goes well."

"Even if there are some accidents, it will definitely be successful." Li Shan said with a smile: "When the King of Qin ascends the throne, I'm afraid it will be difficult for someone to do something, but Brother Bin Wang will sharpen a little, and he will have the day of being a prime minister."

Ma Zhou was stunned for a moment, and made a long bow.

Li Shan smiled. A few years after he came to this era, he also got used to this cryptic way of speaking.

Of course, Ma Zhou knew that with Li Shan's current status, military achievements, and many old troops in the army, plus Su Dingfang, a famous general who has made great achievements, once the King of Qin ascended the throne, Li Shan would probably never have the chance to lead the army again. up.

However, the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to the clear distinction between civil and military affairs, but paid more attention to being a general and a prime minister. Li Shan is very likely to hold a position in the three provinces. To put it bluntly, he must be the minister. If it is auxiliary, it means that Li Shan is likely to step down.

This is Li Shan's promise to Ma Zhou. You have indeed suffered a lot, and you have taken a lot of risks. Therefore, after King Qin ascended the throne, I, Li Huairen, will make room for you. When Li Shimin sees my concession, naturally will understand.

Of course, there is a premise for this, Ma Zhou does have the talent of a minister... well, Ma Zhou does have the talent of a minister.

After making such a promise, Li Shan reckoned that the time was almost up, and he should go back even with Wang Renbiao as a cover. He said confidently: "Next time, change to another place, um, it's spring, and there must be tourists from the Furong Garden." Quite a lot..."

Seeing Ma Zhouyi's troubled face, Li Shan glared, "The next time we meet, it must be after someone greets the bride. Do you still want to come to Pingkangfang?!"

Ma Zhou got up quietly, laughed a few times, and took half a step back, "Furong Garden is not bad...but this time..."

Li Shan had a bad feeling, "What?"

"Your Li Huairen's poetic talent overwhelms Chang'an, thanks to Pingkangfang..."

Ma Zhou's flattery made the corners of Li Shan's eyes twitch, and his voice trembled a little, "What the hell are you trying to do?!"

"I met a girl who is good at painting here a few years ago, in the front yard..." Ma Zhou hesitated, "Do you want Huairen to compose a poem?"

Seeing that Li Shan's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip, Ma Zhou quickly explained: "You can't hide it when you entered Pingkangfang. You wrote poems a few times ago, but this time you didn't... Isn't it arousing suspicion?"

Although this reason is a bit nonsensical, it is more or less reasonable. Li Shan squinted and stared at Ma Zhou, "But you may not want this girl, right?"

"Since you entered...someone has already let the wind out." Ma Zhou lowered his head, "But it doesn't involve someone."

"You have already prepared, you must embarrass Gu!"

The address had been changed, and it was obvious that he was very angry... Uh, Ma Zhou relaxed instead, and spread his hands and said, "Who would have thought... Huairen, you didn't say anything."

This is to say, if you, Li Shan, had promised those things in advance, I wouldn't engage in such small tricks... Li Shan's nose would be crooked, could it be my fault? !
"They're almost thirty years old, and besides, they are good at painting." Ma Zhou persuaded in a low voice, "After all, it's not like singing flowers in the past few times."

Li Shan snorted coldly and left in a huff. He was going to get married in more than a month. He was too happy to be happy in Pingkangfang. If he wrote another poem, he was afraid that Cui Xin would not open the door when the time came. Woolen cloth!

Turning back to the next door, Zhao Cihao and Zhang Yong were already unconscious, Wang Renbiao was in a daze, saw Li Shan coming in, and said casually: "Have we negotiated?"

Li Shan frowned, looked at Zhao Cihao and Zhang Yong, and then nodded, "Six best ministers, apart from Zhaode, Zhigui, Wen Bang, and Xiaoqing, choose Cihao and Fuzhi. Anyway, there are some origins."

Wang Renbiao hummed, "Huai Ren will take a step first and send them back for brother."

Li Shan stared at Wang Renbiao, sighed softly after a while, turned and left.

Why do you have to get involved... With such complaints, Li Shan walked out of the backyard, just as he walked to the front yard, the first thing he saw was Fang Yizhi, followed by Yang Siyi, followed by Chen Shuda's second son, Chen Xuande, and There are many children of the Liu family in Jie County, the Xue family in Hedong, and the Lu family in Fanyang.

Li Shan cursed inwardly, this guy Ma Zhou had some tricks to get so many people here... No, probably because he knew that there were many children from aristocratic families gathering for a banquet today, so he chose today specially.

Sure enough, Yang Siyi, who was the first to come up to say hello, laughed and said: "Huairen returned to Beijing for half a month, and he was always stingy. If it wasn't for the banquet next door today, I would have almost missed it!"

Fang Yizhi and Chen Xuande also nodded repeatedly, the latter still had a fresh memory of the song Yinmei from the year before last, "I heard that Huairen wrote poems for the painting, it's really cheap for this girl!"

Gao Xing took a few glances, "Brother Huai's works are all handed down to the world. They are indeed unworthy, unworthy!"

Li Shan glanced over, most of them are the children of Prince Qin's mansion, Ma Zhou is trying to confuse the public, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the middle-aged girl at the table, um, she looks mediocre, Ma Zhou didn't lie .

But at the next moment, Li Shan's face changed a bit. What's wrong with your painting, it turned out to be a plum blossom again.

Chen Xuande clapped his palms and laughed, "Sparse shadows slant horizontally, water is clear and shallow, dark fragrance floats in the moon and dusk, Huairen cannot be weak today."

Li Shan is really having a headache. Naturally, he remembers a lot of Yinmei's masterpieces, but he can't use them indiscriminately, even more than half of them can't be used. Could it be "By the broken bridge outside the post, loneliness opens without a master"?
After taking a closer look at the painting, the plum tree is meandering and blossoming. There is a desk under the tree. The young man is looking up at the plum blossoms, holding a pen in his right hand. Li Shan rummaged through the inventory before saying: Wash the head tree in the inkstone pool, and the blossoming flowers bloom with light ink marks, don't let people praise the color, just leave the clean air to fill the universe."

Everyone commented and felt that it was slightly inferior to Li Shan's previous works in comparison, but everyone knew that Li Huairen needed to scrutinize and think about it, so it was already good to have such a song.

Li Shan thought for a while, and had to admit that although the author of this song "Mo Mei" is not unknown, he cannot be compared with Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Anshi, and He Zhizhang.

When the front yard was so lively, Wang Renbiao quietly opened the door and walked into the small courtyard next door.

"Prince Bin, long time no see."

"Didn't I just meet you outside Dongshan Restaurant a few years ago?" Ma Zhou was a little surprised, but he understood immediately. Seeing Wang Renbiao close the door, he smiled and said, "Is this a cover for him today?"

"Well, next door are Zhao Cihao and Zhang Fuzhi." Wang Renbiao took a deep breath, "I've seen King Bin in the front yard before."

"That's why you picked the next door?" Ma Zhou chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "It's not Huairen who asked you to find someone."

"That's right, Huairen doesn't want someone to get involved, it's a friendship." Wang Renbiao frowned tightly, and said in a low voice, "It is difficult for a certain Wang Xiaoqing to help Huairen, but he can help King Bin."

A smart person like Ma Zhou understands that Wang Renbiao doesn't have much weight in himself, and he doesn't have a high status in the clan's relatives or in the Taiyuan Wang family, so he doesn't help Li Shan, but he can help himself. Busy... Obviously, this is referring to Xuanwumen.

"Brother Xiaoqing, please explain in detail."
