After briefly describing the Chang'an Rebellion and answering various questions, Qin Feng looked at Ma Zhou and said with a smile: "In addition, today is also a meeting with King Bin. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Okay?"

"General? You're ......"

"King Bin!" Qin Feng walked to Ma Zhou's side, whose face had changed drastically, and said with a smile: "I know that you are reluctant to brothers, and we are also reluctant to you. You've been with me for so long, and who in this room doesn't know that you have the talent of a prime minister? If you have been following me, not only have you been wronged, but also a tyrannical thing, to be honest, Youzhou is in ruins, Youzhou needs you, I also need you to stay and help me, everyone will build Youzhou into a paradise on earth. However, in addition to the people of Youzhou, there are many more people who need your talent to help them live a good life. Now, Your Majesty and the important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee have unanimously agreed to carry out the large-scale development of Jiangnan, originally, Your Majesty wanted me to be in charge of this matter, but I really can't leave Youzhou, and Your Majesty will find an unsuitable candidate for a while, so I recommended you. Your Majesty also looked forward to you for a long time, and agreed without any hesitation. ”

Once developed, the grain there can be continuously sent to the north through the Grand Canal, once developed, there is the strategic depth of the Central Plains, in the days to come, even if there is a danger of foreign soldiers approaching Chang'an, we Han people can also rely on the vast Jiangnan, as well as the criss-crossing water network and the enemy to maneuver, in order to wait for the day, and then regroup with the enemy for a long time. Your Majesty's strong support for the proposal to develop Jiangnan is not only an opportunity for Datang, but also an opportunity for you, I really hope that you can go to Jiangnan to display your talents and ambitions. ”

Qin Feng saw that Ma Zhou was silent in thought, so he gave Luo Tong a look, Luo Tong understood what Qin Feng meant, and came to Ma Zhou's next step: "Among our brothers, the two brothers Dingfang and Rengui are in charge alone, and now it's your turn again, King Bin, your capable brothers all know, isn't it a Jiangnan?" Afraid of what? Haha, congratulations to you! ”

Ma Zhou sighed: "If there is no general, how can I have Ma Zhou today." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xue Rengui opposite, who also nodded in response.

Ma Zhou thought for a while, he stood up, bowed to Qin Feng to the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Zhou became an orphan when he was young, his family was poor, he liked to study, he was unruly because of poverty and frustration, he was not liked by the township, and he was forced to be far away from home. The general thinks that Zhou is inferior, and regards him as a sibling, Zhou hates that he can't repay with his life, and the general and His Majesty's good intentions dare not disobey, but nowadays, there are many things in Youzhou, and they really can't go away. ”

"Alas, we have supported all the way to get to where we are today. It cannot be said who is gracious to whom. It is difficult for a gentleman not to be strong. Anyway, I won't persuade you much. Qin Feng knew that it was his prevarication, so he stopped persuading and changed his words: "I know that you love calligraphy, and I also have the title of a calligraphy master, but I have never given you a word, today, I will give you three pairs of words." ”

"Thank you, General!" Ma Zhou said excitedly, he opened his mouth to ask Qin Feng more than once, but Qin Feng agreed at the time, and when he was busy, he forgot about it. Therefore, for many years, he has not taken him seriously, but now seeing that Qin Feng took the initiative to propose, how can Ma Zhou, who loves words like his life, not be excited.

Waiting for the attendant to send the four treasures of the study, Qin Feng thought for a while, then splashed ink, and in the blink of an eye, three pairs of calligraphy were completed in one fell swoop.

After the ink dried, Qin Feng handed the first pair of large characters to Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou couldn't wait to take a look, and a majestic momentum came from the paper, and the big words 'world' jumped on the paper.

Looking at the words, Ma Zhou couldn't help but read: "The world!" ”

The second is "Confidants in the sea, if the ends of the world are next to each other." ”

The third is "If you are worried about the road ahead and have no confidant, no one in the world knows you." ”

Looking at these three words for a long time, Ma Zhou suddenly burst out with a hearty laugh: "Thank you General, Ma Zhou understands and understands the true meaning of the word 'world'." Okay, this Jiangnan, what does it matter if I leave him? ”

Ma Zhou recognized Li Shimin very much, he was just reluctant to leave this happy team, so he rejected Qin Feng's kindness, but the three words given by Qin Feng were like a masterpiece, which made him suddenly realize, so far, he no longer rejected Qin Feng's kindness, and he also agreed to what Qin Feng said.

Qin Feng smiled with relief, and also knew that this virtuous minister had officially stepped onto the stage of history.

That night, Qin Feng and Ma Zhou chatted for a long time, until the sky was getting brighter, and they didn't even want to sleep peacefully. The content of the two talks about Youzhou and Jiangnan, of course, the most important thing is some things in Jiangnan, although Ma Zhou is not ignorant of Jiangnan, but he is definitely far inferior to Qin Feng, in order to help this talented brother, and in order to avoid detours on the development road, Qin Feng said a lot of things about Jiangnan, so that Ma Zhou has a general understanding of Jiangnan's cultural customs, climate and temperature, topography and landform, and some specific matters can only be found when he goes to Jiangnan for on-the-spot investigation. Qin Feng didn't deliberately remind Ma Zhou what to do and how to do it. Because he knows that this kind of remote control thinking is unacceptable, some seemingly well-intentioned reminders are easy to mislead Ma Zhou who has hills and valleys at some point, so he is only responsible for describing Jiangnan, as for how to go to calligraphy and painting, it is Ma Zhou's own business. When they were separated, Qin Feng gave Ma Zhou the notes he had copied in Shangshu Province during this time, as well as the copies of the recital, in various unformed versions, he knew that Ma Zhou needed these things to participate, so he brought them to Youzhou together, and was deeply grateful to the high-powered but approachable Bole, boss, and brother Ma Zhou, and was speechless and choked several times.

"King Bin, the development of Jiangnan benefits tens of millions of ordinary people, and the people will approve and welcome it, but reform and development also indicate that this is a redivision of Jiangnan's interests, and it will also damage the interests of a small number of people, and it is inevitable that these people will not welcome it. As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents, in Shuofang, in Youzhou when we have a large army, even if those with bad intentions are unwilling, intimidated by military might, they also have to obediently cooperate, but Jiangnan is different, first of all, the court has never paid attention to Jiangnan, the people have insufficient understanding of the court, and the feelings for the court are not as deep as the people in the north, to get their support, it takes a lot of energy and time; Secondly, although the strength and prestige of the Jiangnan family are not five surnames and seven hopes, but they have always been xenophobic, once their interests are touched, they will definitely join forces against you, without the support of these people, the development of various affairs will also become slow, brother, you have a long way to go; Third, some people will take extreme measures against you for their own interests, assassination is an indispensable thing, in order to ensure your safety, I will ask Luo Tong to select 100 elites in the army tomorrow, and let them go with you to take charge of your life safety. ”

"King Bin understands." When Ma Zhou agreed, he already knew what kind of severe test he would face, and he also knew what Qin Feng said, when Qin Feng said that he would give away a hundred hundred soldiers to himself, he knew Qin Feng's kindness, but he was still ready to refuse.

"Don't refuse." Qin Feng knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "These hundred people are not protecting you Ma Zhou, nor my brother, they are protecting the hope of the people, the prosperity of Jiangnan, and the future of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Ma Zhou smiled slightly and said, "If that's the case, then I'm not welcome." "Ma Zhou is not a pedantic, he knows that he can fight single-handedly, he can't convince the public, many times he does use force, he and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army are familiar with each other, with these hundred soldiers in hand, it will help him solve a lot of trouble.

"That's how it should be!" Qin Feng said this, and said: "If you encounter a big problem, you might as well ask the local garrison for help, this is also a condition for me to release people, Your Majesty agreed." ”

……

That night, Qin Feng was like Ma Zhou's nanny, babbling a lot, eager to tell Ma Zhou everything he had learned and known. Of course, the most talked about was to let him pay attention to safety, and taught him a lot of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance methods. Ma Zhou felt Qin Feng's kindness, and knew that these were life-saving knowledge that money could not buy, so he memorized them one by one.

"Maybe I'm overthinking!" Speaking of the end, Qin Feng laughed at himself and said: "The imperial court first rectified the rule of officials and did its best to crack down on corrupt officials; At present, the remnants of the sky net and the net are being cracked down on all over the country, and many lawbreakers have been caught under the melon, even if there are unscrupulous people, they are hiding in the hole and dare not come out to walk. Well, let's not talk about it. It's almost dawn, so you should rest early. Qin Feng yawned and asked casually, "How is this kid Du He?" ”

"It's okay!" Ma Zhou smiled and praised: "His foundation is solid, and he is also very studious, lacking experience and patience." is good at judging things, has the style of a father, and with a little training, even if he is not the talent of the prime minister, he is also a talent of assassination. ”

"Oh? I can't see that this guy has turned back and shown extraordinary talent. But young people, it's inevitable to have a big temper. In this way, it also lives up to Du Xiang's trust. Qin Feng laughed with great satisfaction.

Finally, his efforts were not in vain, and at the same time, through his high-pressure suppression, he also changed the ending of some people, such as Du He and Fang Yiai, who were the same as in history, but their fate and the trajectory of their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"What kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, this is the so-called Zhu Zhechi."

"As long as it's not black near ink." Qin Feng laughed and said, "In this way, the government affairs of Youzhou can be handed over to Du He to take care of?" ”

"I think it can!"

"Hmmm! Then you can hand him over tomorrow! Go to Chang'an as soon as possible, Your Majesty can be said to be looking through the autumn water. ”

"Whoa!" Ma Zhou bowed, and Qin Feng got up to send him off.

In the courtyard, under the moonlight, a slender and lonely slender figure stood silently and holding a sword.

She is the Xuan Bing that Li Shimin gave to Qin Feng.

Leaving the palace, she is Qin Feng's personal bodyguard, and she is also the sharp blade in Qin Feng's hands, and she must unconditionally obey all arrangements.

Of course, in times of danger, even if she sacrifices, she must ensure Qin Feng's thoughtfulness, this is the order that Li Shimin handed over to her. It can also be said that Li Shimin had a deal with her, just because her brother had been found, and Li Shimin promised to let his brother live a worry-free life.

Xuan Bing is not qualified to negotiate terms with Li Shimin, if it weren't for the request of the eldest grandson Wuji and her frank confession, with the many bloody cases she committed, it would not be surprising to kill her a hundred times.

Xuan Bingqing knew that her life was no longer her own, but for the sake of her younger brother, although she knew that this might be a dead end, she had no regrets and no choice.
