Chapter 709: Ways to Delay
"What's the matter, look at your sad face, hasn't Ha'er already sent someone back, Qi Niang is very safe with her, and Qi Niang is already old, although she is a woman, but I don't think she loses to any man at all, so let her go outside and break in. "Ma Ye sat down at this time and poured himself a cup www.biquge.info of tea, and said while drinking.
"I'm not troubled because of Qi Niang, but because of another thing, but why are you here, Master Ma?" Li Xiu was weak at this time, he had been thinking about how to refuse Li Shimin's matter, but after thinking about it, he didn't come up with any good way, just now he reported that Ma Ye was coming, so he also came to meet him immediately.
"What can I do, as soon as Hate'er got married like this, the family calmed down all of a sudden, Guanghua is now busy making some small bedding and clothes, saying that it is for Hate'er's future children, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to me, you said that Hate'er has just gotten married, is it a little too early to prepare things for the child now?" Ma Ye said helplessly at this time.
Li Xiu finally understood when he heard this, it turned out that Ma Ye came here because he was idle and bored at home, but Ma Ye came at the right time, and he could ask the other party just now.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu also hurriedly sat up straight, and then said to Ma Ye with a solemn face: "Uncle Ma, I just happened to be struggling with one thing, why don't you help me with my counsel?" ”
"Oh? What is it that bothers you so much? Ma Ye couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Li Xiu's words, in fact, just now he noticed that Li Xiu looked listless, thinking that he was worried about Qi Niang's affairs, but he didn't expect it to be something else.
"Here's the thing, Your Majesty summoned me to the palace to discuss matters, I also told Uncle Ma before, I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, so as not to get out in the future, so I didn't open my mouth at first, but when I was about to leave, His Majesty left me alone, and said that he wanted me to let go of the envoy of the Ministry of Agriculture, and he wanted to rearrange an important position for me, although I refused several times, but His Majesty just said to let me come back and think about it carefully." When Li Xiu said the end, he also showed a helpless expression on his face.
"So that's the case, you said before that you don't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, now you must want to refuse Your Majesty, right?" Ma Ye couldn't help touching his chin when he heard this, and his face also showed a contemplative expression.
"That's true, I can't think of any good way to think about it, Uncle Ma, you are well-informed, I don't know if there is any way to refuse Your Majesty and let Your Majesty die of this heart?" Li Xiu asked again at this time.
"What else is there to think about, isn't there a best way right now?" When Ma Ye heard this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said.
"Uncle Ma, do you have a way?" Li Xiu couldn't help but shout in surprise when he heard this.
"You kid is smart, why are you so confused at this time?" Ma Ye couldn't help but glance at him when he saw Li Xiu's happy appearance.
"Uncle Ma, teach me what to do, I'm going to die of annoyance for this matter!" Seeing this, Li Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor, and by the way, poured a cup of tea into Ma Ye's empty teacup.
"Haha~, do you know to please me at this time?" Ma Ye couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Xiu's appearance, but jokes were jokes, and then he spoke again, "Actually, there are many ways to get Your Majesty to give up letting you enter the court, and the most effective and least offending way is just one word, that is, 'drag'!" ”
"Drag?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard Ma Ye's answer, and then nodded and said, "Uncle Ma, what you said is right, in fact, I have also thought about it carefully, if it really doesn't work, I can only pretend to be sick, this is also a way to delay, if Your Majesty still doesn't give up, then I will be sick for a year and a half, and one day Your Majesty will give up this idea." ”
"Pretending to be sick is a way, but it's too easy for people to catch the handle, and then you yourself will have to suffer, but there is another way, and that is to leave Chang'an!" I saw Ma Ye speak again.
"Leave ...... Leaving Chang'an? How to leave? Li Xiu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Ma Ye's words and asked, his home is in Chang'an, how can he leave easily, and Li Shimin just wanted him to enter the court, and he just fled away from Chang'an, which is inevitably a little too blunt?
"Stupid, didn't Qi Niang just run away from home and go to Suzhou, isn't this a good opportunity? His only sister ran away, and you, as a brother, went to chase her back, which is naturally justified, and His Majesty will not be able to refuse at that time. Ma Ye patted Li Xiu's shoulder at this time and said.
"yes, how did I forget about it!" Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a flash of inspiration in his mind when he heard Ma Ye's words, and then he patted his head and said regretfully, but then he thought of one more thing, and said worriedly at the moment, "Uncle Ma, it's not a glorious thing for Qi Niang to run away from home, before Yi Niang persuaded me not to make a noise, if I use this excuse to leave Chang'an, wouldn't it make the whole city know?" ”
"How did you kid become stupid, you can go to Your Majesty in private, and ask to leave Chang'an under the pretext of looking for Qi Niang, this reason is very sufficient, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to stop you, and you can also ask Your Majesty to keep it secret for you, after all, this is related to Qi Niang's reputation, with your relationship with Your Majesty, he will definitely not be able to refuse, not to mention that this is also a gesture for him, so you just need to find a reason to go out of Beijing at that time." Ma Ye spoke again at the moment.
"Uncle Ma is wise, I'll do it!" Li Xiu's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard Ma Ye's words, and he immediately stood up and immediately went to find Li Shimin.
But at this moment, Li Xiu was grabbed by Ma Ye and said: "What's the hurry, didn't Your Majesty let you think carefully for a few days, then you can wait for two more days, just enough to let Qi Niang and them go farther, and then you can also rub a little more when you chase, it's really not good to bring the whole family with you, walk and play along the way, and it's not too late to come back after a year and a half, anyway, now that the country is safe and secure, we Datang will not use troops externally in a short time, it is the time to rest, if it weren't for me, I would still be responsible for the affairs of the Fei Nu Division, I want to go with you. ”
"Thank you Uncle Ma for your advice!" Li Xiu calmed down when he heard Ma Ye's persuasion, he was indeed a little anxious just now, but this can't be blamed on him, on the one hand, he wanted to push off Li Shimin's appointment as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find Qi Niang as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be at ease as a brother.
