The conspiracy is a subtermine, and no matter how big the layout is, it all falls through the cracks. Li Chengzong was in a hurry to subdue Ma Sanbao, and he couldn't think of a good way to win it in one fell swoop, and it was impossible to do it without threats and intimidation. But the situation is different, Ma Sanbao's illness was indirectly cured by himself, his life was saved by himself, and his kindness was real. There is no longer a need for Li Xiuning to be a villain, there is no need, but it will become a trouble. It's better to make it clear generously, and it seems that a gentleman is frank and open, and he is worthy of his heart in order to show the king's bearing.

Ma Sanbao went to Princess Pingyang's mansion on the second day, and Li Xiuning and Chai Shao were also surprised, they didn't expect it at all. Chai Shao was still worried about how to hide this matter, and he couldn't imagine that Li Chengzong would actually open his mouth to explain the ins and outs of Li Xiuning by himself. It will not be a master and servant, and in the end it will end up unhappily, and the love is gone.

"Your Majesty really has a Dao Mingjun, I am convinced." Chai Shao said from the bottom of his heart, this thing is done beautifully. Li Chengzong not only got Ma Sanbao's heart, but also gave his love to Chai Shao and Li Xiuning.

Ma Sanbao said: "In another half a month, Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace to report on my work." I haven't been back to Chang'an for a long time, and I want to ask the princess and the concubine for some advice, I can walk in the palace to know the severity, so as not to offend anyone and do anything wrong. ”

"No, our emperor, it's the most short-sighted. The person he looks at, as long as he listens to him, he is not afraid to offend anyone, and it is not a big deal to do anything wrong. His Majesty ascended the throne the year before last, and the next day the cabinet fought a big battle with Xiao Yu, Pei Lian, Pei Ju, and Feng Deyi, and the spit was flying. No, there was nothing at all, the two fathers-in-law teamed up to ask for an explanation, and were sent back by him with three or two good words. What did Your Majesty say, don't come to me for these rotten things you tear up in the future. Li Xiuning said.

"Really? But what is this tear?" Ma Sanbao asked.

Chai Shao couldn't listen to it anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about something serious, are you a paper paste when you are those ministers?" I'm not afraid to offend anyone, I really don't know if you want to harm the Three Treasures. ”

"What did you say, what did I say wrong? Li Jing suffered a defeat, didn't he still let a few words turn into a big victory? Not only is he innocent, but he has also become a hero in the mouth of the people. Li Xiuning didn't feel wrong, in fact, he was really right. Li Chengzong is such a person, he knows the importance of his cronies. Sometimes even if they make a big mistake, you have to protect them. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and there is no futile truth when people are observing, so there is no need to learn.

Chai Shao ignored him and said to Ma Sanbao: "Just two words on an errand in the palace, don't ask."

"Don't ask? I understand, I must not ask anything, just do not say. Ma Sanbao understood.

"One more thing, you must not get too close to anyone other than the emperor. Even here, don't come here until it's a New Year's holiday. Chai Shao admonished.

Ma Sanbao said: "Why? His Majesty was not taboo, and even took the initiative to explain the reason. ”

"What Your Majesty does is his business, and what you do is your attitude. Maybe you don't know, a few days ago, there was some rumors leaking in the womb, and His Majesty thought that it was because of this that he summoned you to the palace. He is afraid that someone will change his life, so he will take precautions to find you to check and balance all of a sudden. Chai Shao said in one breath.

"There is in the palace"

Chai Shao stopped and said, "I don't know if there is one yet, which makes Your Majesty suspicious." If you really find out a few, maybe your majesty won't have to bother getting you into the palace. As early as when His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne, you should have heard the name of Zhu Bajie!"

"Zhu Peel?" Ma Sanbao whispered.

"By the way, Zhu Bajie checked around the palace and found nothing. If it's okay to say that it's someone else, the person with Zhu Bajie's method can't find anything, isn't it weird?"

Ma Sanbao said: "Back then, the Jin Palace, known as the iron wall, was known as the iron wall, and everyone in the mansion was so frightened by Zhu Bajie that they didn't dare to breathe. What happened in the Jin Palace's mansion in those years, there was no wind outside. From this point of view, this Zhu Bajie is a person with some means, if he can't find out anything, it's really strange. But perhaps, there is nothing wrong with the palace. ”

"That's right, but that's not what we should be concerned about. Be your errand, Your Majesty, who never disgraces useful and faithful people. Remember, usefulness and faithfulness go hand in hand and must not be separated. Seeing that spring was about to begin, Li Jing had already gone to Songzhou to take over the soldiers and horses there, and the five major barracks of the Tang Dynasty were waiting everywhere. At the beginning of this year, the Tang Beacon Fire can't be stopped, as long as Your Majesty is satisfied, you are not without the possibility of leading troops to fight. Chai Shao reminded.

Li Xiuning asked, "What did Your Majesty explain to your cabinet again?" How can you be so sure?"

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, but you also know that Your Majesty is not short of money. The money of the state treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs combined is enough to fight a war for several years. The Dunhuang Exchange, the Jinwangcheng Exchange and the Yangzhou Exchange newly established by His Majesty are basically the three major gold-absorbing caves. ”

"If you have money, do you want to use it to fight? Don't you know that Your Majesty has always been a miser? There is so much money, the palace is not repaired, the palace is not built, and the mausoleum of the emperor is not willing to spend a penny more. Li Xiuning said angrily.

"What you are talking about, how can anyone expect the emperor to build a large number of buildings? His Majesty is not a miser either, and I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is going to pay a sum of money to build a port in Laizhou. ”

"Laizhou?" Li Xiuning frowned.

"Just know, Your Majesty is far-sighted!" Chai Shao said.

"That's right! His Majesty knew at a glance that he was a Ming Jun. Ma Sanbao said.

Li Xiuning glanced at Chai Shao, and said impatiently: "After going to the cabinet for a few days, I really regard myself as the emperor's confidant, and I speak for him everywhere."

"Let's go, let's go, you both let me go, I'm annoyed when I see you." Li Xiuning couldn't listen to it anymore. These two people are a team of doglegs, the emperor's doglegs, and listening to them is simply a crime.

"Princess, I'm here"

"Let's go! Your princess is angry. Chai Shao persuaded.

Li Xiuning said coldly: "I'll let you go together, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Ma Sanbao just went out on the front foot, Chai Shao didn't really follow behind, Princess Pingyang's mansion was big, and it was too simple for the two of them not to meet.

Princess Pingyan took out a map, stared at Laiju and looked at it, and no matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was used against Goguryeo. Advance by land and water, take precautions? Li Chengzong's appetite was too great, staring at the Turks to clean up Tuyuhun, guarding against Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, thinking about the territory of Tubo, and dealing with Feng Ang, who was entrenched in Lingnan, which reminded him of Goguryeo.

Li Xiuning really wants to ask, Li Chengzong, are you busy coming? (To be continued......)
