Ma Yuanzhen stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support Li Zhen's arms, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Li Sima has both civil and military skills, talent and appearance, and today I see that the results live up to my reputation!" ”

Li Zhen said with a smile: "Lieutenant Ma praises falsely, but Zhen has admired Lieutenant Ma for a long time, and it is a wish to see him today!" ”

The two of them chatted for a while before they both sat down, Li Zhen looked around a little, and said with a smile: "Xuanduguan has always not accepted secular people, and today it is Lieutenant Toma's blessing to be able to get a glimpse of his appearance!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen laughed when he heard this: "I am close friends with the master of the Qingchen Dao, I am entangled in military affairs on weekdays, and occasionally come to sit in this temple when I have free time. If Li Sima likes it, I'll say hello to the Qingchen Daoist later, and Li Sima can come at any time in the future! ”

Li Zhen smiled bitterly and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that I am now wearing a sinful body, and I just want to get rid of my guilt as soon as possible and return to Youzhou, this capital...... But I don't dare to stay longer for a day! ”

"What Li Sima is talking about is Wang Zongshi's case?" Ma Yuanzhen looked at Li Zhen and asked with a smile.

Li Zhen nodded and said: "It's really funny, I have no grudge against Wang Zongshi, and I haven't even met before this, who knows that he insisted that it was given by me, and I still don't know when I offended him!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen laughed and said: "If you only see Wang Zongshi, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find anything, and there are some things that you have to see behind the little-known things!" ”

"Oh? Lieutenant Ma meant......" Li Zhen feigned surprise.

"Hehe, Tang suddenly came to see Li Sima today, but there is something unclear in his heart!"

Obviously, Ma Yuanzhen didn't want to answer Li Zhen's question directly, but raised the question in his heart first.

And Li Zhen didn't ask, just smiled slightly, and said, "Lieutenant Ma, but it's okay to say!" ”

Lieutenant Ma was not in a hurry to ask when he heard this, but pointed to the tea soup on the case in front of Li Zhen, and said: "I heard that Li Sima likes tea, this is the Qingchen Daoist went to Yongjia County, Wenzhou to pick it by himself, Li Sima might as well taste it first!" ”

Li Zhen took a sip when he heard this.

Salty, very salty, and the kind of saltiness that accompanies the taste of chopped green onion and ginger, which is completely incomparable to the bubble tea that Li Zhen likes.

"Good tea! Sure enough, it's good tea! Li Zhen praised with a clear conscience.

"In that case, you might as well drink a few more bowls!" Ma Yuanzhen said with a smile.

Li Zhen's color suddenly changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Lieutenant Ma, it's better to get down to business first, otherwise this tea will not be at ease!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen laughed, and then said softly: "I heard that Li Sima made an excerpt yesterday, which was about the use of troops in Hexi!" ”

"Yes, it is!" Li Zhen replied with a smile.

"Doesn't Li Sima think that he is in a hurry to use troops at this time?"

Ma Yuanzhen naturally wanted the court to move troops as soon as possible, but sometimes what he thought in his heart was not equal to what he said, and this is the reason for wanting to capture and indulge.

Li Zhen naturally understood that Ma Yuanzhen just wanted to explore his own reality, and immediately shook his head and said: "Lieutenant Ma's words are wrong, Langda Ma Zampu was killed by the monks as early as the second year of Huichang for abolishing Buddhism, and Tubo was divided into pieces and fought all year round, and this is a good time to attack Tubo to recover Hehuang, and as far as I know, the prefectures and counties headed by Shazhou are dedicated to Tang, and at this time, sending troops can be combined with its internal and external areas to recover the lost territory in one fell swoop, and it is too late to fear change, so the matter of sending troops should not be delayed!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen naturally could not have known that in Shazhou City at this time, Zhang Yichao was plotting to rebel against the Tibetan regime.

However, what Li Zhen said this time is not important to Ma Yuanzhen.

The important thing is how feasible Li Zhen's words are, and whether he can convince His Majesty and the ministers.

Obviously, Ma Yuanzhen felt that Li Zhen's words were far from enough.

I saw that Ma Yuanzhen was silent for a moment, and said, "How did Sima Li know that Shazhou would rebel?" ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Lieutenant Ma, can you know Yan Changzhi?" ”

"Yan Changzhi......" Ma Yuanzhen was slightly stunned, and then thought for a while: "But that Yan Changzhi who robbed the prison in Lantian County?" ”

"Exactly!"

"So what?" Ma Yuanzhen then asked.

"Lieutenant Ma won't know his identity, right?" Li Zhen replied.

"Hehe, I've heard a little, it's said to be the new bad handsome!" Ma Yuanzhen chuckled.

At this time, I saw Li Zhen leaning into Ma Yuanzhen slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Yan Changzhi and Zhen are friends of bamboo horses!" ”

Although Ma Yuanzhen already knew about this, he still said with a look of surprise: "Is this really the case? ”

Li Zhen nodded, smiling without saying a word.

Seeing this, Ma Yuanzhen couldn't help but nod and said, "What does that have to do with this matter?" ”

"Bad people are the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, since the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizongwen has set up permanent bad people in Shazhou and other eleven states and counties, and it has never been abolished for more than 200 years, so ......"

Li Zhen's words were not finished, but Ma Yuanzhen had already understood everything, after all, with the means of bad people, there was still a great chance to break through the blockade line of the Tubo people, not to mention that the civil strife in Tibet was negligent in guarding the border, which gave bad people an opportunity to travel between the two places.

Of course, the above is pure fiction, because Li Zhen really can't tell Ma Yuanzhen that he is from the next generation, and he already knows everything about Hexi, but fortunately, there is Yan Heng, a clue that is difficult to suspect, which makes Ma Yuanzhen have to believe it.

"In that case, Your Majesty must have known about this?"

Obviously, Ma Yuanzhen is still trying.

"Bad people only obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, how can Your Majesty not know? As for the ...... of the song," Li Zhen smiled and said, "It's just a generous gift from an old friend!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Li Sima's move is really clever, Your Majesty will definitely be moved when you know about it, Li Sima's play is undoubtedly in line with Your Majesty's intentions, and then it only depends on the reaction of the ministers!" ”

In Ma Yuanzhen's view, Li Zhen's performance is just opportunistic to welcome the Son of Heaven, but it just happens to coincide with what he wants.

But then Li Zhen smiled again: "This is one of them, Zhen still has a second note that has not been issued!" ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! Ma Yuanzhen asked with interest.

Li Zhen didn't speak, but took out a sticker from his inner sleeve and handed it to Ma Yuanzhen.

"This ...... Not good! Ma Yuanzhen said with a smile, but reached out to take it.

"This song is already related to Lieutenant Ma, not to mention that there is no one else here, Lieutenant Ma doesn't hurt to read it!" Li Zhen said with a smile.

Ma Yuanzhen couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then our family will dare to read it!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Ma Yuanzhen had already opened the song in his hand.
