Ma Ye's character Li Xiu knows very well, as long as he makes a decision, it is basically impossible to change it, especially the older Ma Ye is, the more stubborn his personality is, even if he and Princess Pingyang's persuasion is useless, for example, this time he wants to return to Feinusi, ostensibly to ask Li Xiu's opinion, in fact, he has already made a decision in his heart, the real reason for coming to see Li Xiu is just to tell him about it, and by the way, he also asked him for a favor.

"Uncle Ma, you want to ask Zhao Deyan to be your deputy, this is indeed a good idea, but the difficulties are also very obvious!" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression when he heard Ma Ye's thoughts.

Zhao Deyan is indeed a very suitable candidate, and even Li Xiu can't think of a second person more suitable than him, but Zhao Deyan is not the little spy he was at the beginning, but the Hongzhou Assassin who has become the Tang Dynasty, a real party leader.

And Zhao Deyan also did a very good job in Hongzhou, millions of Turks went to him, and finally they were all governed, Hongzhou's land development is also remarkable, making Hongzhou from a flooded place, into a famous land of fish and rice, every year to hand over a large amount of grain, and even attracted a lot of Han people to settle down.

It can be said that with Zhao Deyan's political achievements, he should have been promoted a long time ago, and Li Shimin also wanted to transfer him back to Chang'an several times, but Zhao Deyan was unwilling, because his hatred for the Turks had not been completely eliminated, for example, the Turks in Hongzhou were decreasing every year, and even he used various methods to reduce the fertility rate of the Turks, it can be said that his hatred for the Turks has become a little sick, and it is not easy to get him to leave Hongzhou.

"Yes, Zhao Deyan has a deep obsession with Hongzhou, and it is estimated that the Turks in Hongzhou will not die, and he will not come back at all." Ma Ye also sighed helplessly at this time, he also knew this, so he wanted to ask Li Xiu for help, after all, Zhao Deyan was a withdrawn person, and he could be called his friend, and I am afraid that there was only Li Xiu in the Manchu Dynasty.

"This ......" Li Xiu also hesitated for a moment at this time, and then raised his head and said, "Uncle Ma, I understand what you mean, for Zhao Deyan, I will personally write a letter to him to persuade him, but I am not sure whether he is willing to come back?" ”

"What I want is your words, but I guess you still have a great deal of confidence in convincing Zhao Deyan, after all, the Turks over there in Hongzhou were almost killed by him, and the rest are just some Shunmin who dare not resist, and we are dealing with the Western Turks this time, although they are different from the Turks in Jieli, but after all, they are all Turks, and Zhao Deyan is likely to be tempted!" Ma Ye spoke again at this time.

Hearing Ma Ye's words, Li Xiu also nodded in agreement, Zhao Deyan's hatred for the Turks is actually a little sick, so his rule over the Turks in Hongzhou is also very cruel, and he will kill people at every turn, which is also the main reason why the Turkic population under his rule has been decreasing, but he has been killing for so many years, it is estimated that he should be bored, and the Western Turks are a good target to divert hatred.

"Uncle Ma, since you have made up your mind to return to Feinusi, then I won't persuade you anymore, it's just that what to do with the county lord and Ha'er, their mother and daughter are not as easy to convince as me." Li Xiu suddenly spoke again at this time, although he understood Ma Ye's thoughts, but deep down he still did not agree with his choice, if Ma Ye could not convince the mother and daughter who hated his son, so as to give up returning to Fei Nusi, then he would be very happy.

"This ......" Sure enough, hearing Li Xiu mention his wife and daughter, Ma Ye couldn't help but show a hesitant expression, he and the county lord of Guanghua have a deep relationship with each other, although Hate Er is not his biological daughter, but the relationship between the two is deeper than that of ordinary father and daughter, so he also cares about Hate Mother and daughter very much.

I saw that Ma Ye hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his head and said to Li Xiu: "That...... She listens to you the most, or you can help me......"

"Uncle Ma, don't hurt me, even if you hate to listen to me, you won't agree to let someone of your age work again, let alone the county lord, if you let her know that I help you, you have to scold me for a bloody dog!" didn't wait for Ma Ye to finish speaking, Li Xiu refused very simply, just kidding, he didn't want to take this tank for Ma Ye.

Seeing Li Xiu's refusal, Ma Ye was also a little annoyed, and said angrily at the moment: "If you don't want to help, forget it, I'll go back and tell them myself!" ”

Ma Ye flicked his sleeves and left after speaking, Li Xiu laughed, but then shook his head a little distressed, and then returned to the inner house to find Princess Pingyang and told her about it, after all, such a big matter, Princess Pingyang would know sooner or later, it was better to tell her earlier.

"Uncle Ma, he's so old, why can't he let it go!" Princess Pingyang was not as anxious as Li Xiu imagined, but was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then sighed and said, it seems that she also knows Ma Ye's feelings for Fei Nu Si, after all, she and Ma Ye are more like father and daughter, and the hard work and energy that Ma Ye spent for Fei Nu Si were also seen by her.

"I also persuaded Uncle Ma, but he just didn't listen, and now Feinusi is indeed in decline, Uncle Ma can't bear to see half of his life's hard work ruined, so he will agree to go back out of the mountain." Li Xiu also sighed at this time.

"The older Uncle Ma gets, the more stubborn his temperament becomes, no matter how much we persuade him, the most important thing now is to find him a capable helper and let him worry less, do you have confidence in that Zhao Deyan husband?" Princess Pingyang sighed again at this time, and then said very rationally.

"Zhao Deyan is definitely the most suitable person, and I am now thinking about how to persuade him to agree to this matter, but Hongzhou is too far away, and it will take more than half a year to come and go, otherwise I would like to persuade him in person, but now I can only write a letter." Li Xiu also said helplessly at this time.

On the surface, this matter seems to be very easy, as long as Li Shimin has a holy decree, Zhao Deyan can be transferred back, but the relationship between the monarch and the minister of the Tang Dynasty is not as clear as that of later generations, sometimes the holy decree is useless, the big deal is that people resign and quit, and even if they are transferred back, if the other party is unwilling, passive sabotage is also a trouble, and it is impossible to help Ma Ye share the pressure.

That night, Li Xiu began to shut himself in the study, thinking quietly about how to write this letter of persuasion to Zhao Deyan, but what Li Xiu didn't expect was that on the same night, a major event happened in the Far Western Regions, and this incident will also affect the future historical trend of the Tang Dynasty!
