In Chang'an Xingqing Palace, Yixi Wangbo and Basang Xi stood in the Qinzheng Hall solemnly, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie's face was gloomy, no one knew what he was thinking, but Shang Xijie's good news sent back from Feng Yijun made these two people not excited. For the more smoothly Shang Xi knotted the knot, the more it proved that their previous opposition was unwise.

In just a moment, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie actually laughed.

"Please sit down, you two, in addition to sharing with you the good news sent by Shang Xijie, there is another important matter to discuss. ”

Yixi Wangbo is well aware of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's methods, and he didn't do less things to hide knives in his smile back then, but now he doesn't know what else to do when he talks so indifferently. But after all, he has experienced a lot, and he has taken many things lightly. This is very different from Basanhi, who seems a little unbreathable.

"If the prime minister has any orders, it is directly that Basanxi and I will do our best to complete it!"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie habitually rubbed his brows with his hands, and said with a dry smile:

"There is indeed a matter that requires labor for two people this time, I don't know if I can pull away?"

This sentence "can be withdrawn" made Yixi Wangbo suddenly alert, and secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, could it be that those conspiracies between them and Zampu had already been known by Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie? Is this to separate them from Zampu's side? However, no matter how unhappy Yixi Wangbo was, he had to agree hard:

"I've been idle, I wish the prime minister could commission some errands, I don't know what errands the prime minister wants me to do?"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie let out another dry laugh.

"It's good, I just like to deal with smart people, I don't have to talk a lot of nonsense, I can get a little bit of it. ”

This answer made Yixi Wangbo's heart sink even more, it seems that the conspiracy between Zampu and Li Chenghong seems to have leaked some rumors, otherwise they would not have let these people who were forced to be idle to run errands.

"Shang Xi is attacking Feng Yi and pointing directly to Hedong, I plan to use the deputy minister to lead the troops to deal with the Tang soldiers from Tongguan!"

"Huh?"

The atmosphere in the Qinzheng Building suddenly changed again, and Yixi Wangbo had thought that Ma Xiang Chung Bajie would send him extremely difficult and dangerous errands to make things difficult, but now it seemed that it was not like that, let alone let himself control the army.

"I haven't led troops for ten years, so I'm afraid I'll miss the prime minister's plan. ”

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie waved his hand and laughed dryly twice.

"The vice minister is too modest, who in Tibet does not know the feat of the vice minister back then? With only 2,000 people, the eleven countries in the river were wiped out, and even the envoys of the Tang Dynasty were so afraid that they retreated!"

He is proficient in Han culture, and he unconsciously said an idiom from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Of course, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie did not mean to flatter Yixi Wangbo, this person did have a lot of achievements that he could be proud of back then, but after the old Zampu reused the traitor, he had to show it as a last resort.

Now when Yixi Wangpo heard that Ma Xiang Chung Bajie asked him to lead the troops, he didn't believe his ears.

"The meaning of the great phase is ......"

"The deputy minister heard it right, that is, the Tang soldiers who led the troops to block the westward advance in Tongguan, may it be possible?"

"It can be done, it can be done, it must be done!"

Yixi Wangbo's voice trembled a little because of the excitement, and Basanxi, who was sitting beside him, also seemed to be a little restless, and it seemed that he also hoped that Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie would also send him to the Tongguan Array.

Without waiting for Basanxi to ask, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie took the initiative to look at him.

"Ba Sangxi, I also have an appointment for you, leading three thousand troops to chase down the Tang soldiers who slipped to the area of Qin Feng, can you do it?"

As a Tibetan warrior, who doesn't want to lead the troops into battle? Basang Xiden forgot the anxiety that was still lingering in his heart just now, and immediately assured loudly:

"Please rest assured, Basanxi will definitely take the head of the Tang General and present it to the Great Minister!"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was very satisfied with the performance of these two people, and walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back, he arranged this way to be in urgent need of useful generals, on the other hand, it was also to cut off the right-hand man of the little Zampu Trisong Dezan, without these two people to give advice, the little Zampu would be like a puppy cub who had lost his protection, and would only bark in vain.

After Yishi Wangpo and Pasanshi left, Maxiang Chung Bajie stood at the entrance of the temple for a while, then slowly returned to sit down and looked through the mountains of official documents on his desk again. Since entering Chang'an, there have been four or five times more official business that must be handled by him, and there is not even enough time to sleep. But this is also something that cannot be helped, everything is complicated, and the Tibetan cronies do not have enough ability to deal with these affairs. Therefore, he can only do everything himself. He had many years of experience as an envoy in Chang'an, and he was proficient in Chinese, and many documents could be handled directly without translation.

"Great Minister, Cui Chuan presented a love letter from prison, wanting to see the Great Minister. ”

The one who spoke was originally a eunuch in the Xingqing Palace, but because he was well-behaved and good at observing words and feelings, he won the favor of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, so he kept him by his side.

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie didn't raise his head, only hummed softly, and then as if he had reacted, he put down the brush in his hand, straightened up, looked at the eunuch and asked:

"What?

"Back to the prime minister, Cui Lian presented a love letter in prison, wanting to see the prime minister!"

"And this kind of thing, arrange for him to come to see me as soon as possible!"

In order to effectively control Chang'an, it is the most effective way to govern the Han people with the Han people, and if the Han people are obedient, they must submit the people with high prestige among the Han people, and this Cui Lian is the best candidate.

Previously, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie had personally visited Cui Jian in prison several times, hoping that he could come out to clean up the situation, but this Cui Jian was obviously a little backbone, and he scolded him several times.

"Slow ......"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie suddenly stopped the eunuch.

"Do you know that Cui Lian has such a transformation, why is it?"

The eunuch raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.

"The slave doesn't know much about the inside story, I heard, I heard that the children of Cui Lian's family were put into a coolie camp the day before yesterday according to the rules, presumably, he must care about his family. ”

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie nodded, but he was noncommittal, Cui Lian's family had indeed been filled into a coolie camp. Although entering the coolie camp is not an inhuman difficulty in name, in reality it is not like that, and the intense labor and very little food make it impossible for more than ninety percent of the people who are filled into the coolie camp to enter and leave.

It seems that even people like Cui Chuan can't avoid licking calves.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie didn't want to rush to see Cui Lian.

"Delay the rumor in advance, and let him dry for a few days!"

"Yes, slave and maid retire!"

The reason why Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie did this was to boil Cui Lian's arrogance, since he had already revealed the meaning of being soft, fortunately, he was gracious and powerful, so that this person would completely surrender.

Not long after, another Tibetan retinue mysteriously entered the hall, handed him a copper pipe, and then stood aside silently, waiting quietly.

This is the news sent by the secret agent sent by Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie in Chang'an, and the reason why this is so is to collect all kinds of rumors and information between the Chang'an government and the opposition market, so that he can control the wind trend in the city at any time. However, today's news obviously made a bigger discovery, and I saw that his hands were already a little faintly shaking.

After a long time, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie put the parchment paper in his hand on the desk.

"The mysterious person entered and exited Zampu Xingqing Palace, did he make contact with Zampu, what is the origin of this mysterious person, and why has there been no progress so far?"

The attendant replied tremblingly:

"This person's whereabouts are too secretive, and most of our people are unfamiliar......"

"Don't make excuses, give you another day's work, if you can't find out the details of this mysterious person, just cut yourself!"

The attendant did not explain, but leaned down to show compliance, and then bowed slowly and withdrew.

Suddenly, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was a little restless, there was actually a mysterious person who freely entered and left Xingqing Palace, and he didn't know anything about the identity of this person, it made people shudder to think about it, if someone took the opportunity to assassinate him, or had some malicious intentions, wouldn't it ......

Thinking of this, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie couldn't sit still any longer, and he decided to remove all the Han eunuchs in the palace where he and Xiao Zanpu were located, and replace them with the slaves brought by Tubo.

As for the other eunuchs in Xingqing Palace, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie hadn't thought of a way to deal with them for a while, after all, it was a critical moment, and if the movement was too big, I was afraid that it would cause more unnecessary trouble.

In the evening, the spies sent out by Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie actually made progress, and they found a breakthrough in a eunuch beside Zampu, who was not a hard bone, and could recruit anything after a few whips.

It is said that a local surnamed Du Haoqiang bought him with a bribe of 100 gold, and there were more than a dozen people in the palace who had received dots.

In this way, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie finally put his mind at ease, as long as he found the family name, it is easy to say, looking at the Haoqiang clan surnamed Du in Jingzhao Mansion, he can count it with one hand,

"Someone!"

With his shout, a group of armored warriors immediately poured into the hall and stood in solemnity.

"You immediately bring all the powerful clans surnamed Du in Manchang to Xingqing Palace for questioning, but remember one thing, you must not disturb the people unless you have to!"

Even when he was angry, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie maintained great restraint, in order to be able to gain a foothold in Chang'an for a long time, he must maintain tolerance for the people of Chang'an, only in this way can their hatred be minimized.

This also made Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie feel like dancing with shackles, but when he remembered that in the past few decades, what year was not dancing with shackles?
