Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 986
When Li Shan traveled to this era, the first person he had acquainted with was Wang Renbiao. His understanding of Li Shan and everyone around him was hard to match.

Wang Renbiao once mentioned to Li Kai that what he admires most about Li Shan is that this friend can pull out so many heroes by his side. Last year's "Ma Shuo" also proved his point of view.

Su Dingfang, Ling Jing, Zhang Zhongjian, and Ma Zhou were four people who were well-known in Shandong by Ling Jing. The other three were unknown, but they all showed outstanding and even world-famous talents, and gained Li Shan's extreme trust.

Among them, Wang Renbiao first met Ma Zhou. He knew that this man often bickered with Li Shan, but he had a very close relationship. So when Ma Zhou left suddenly, Wang Renbiao was very surprised... because he knew that Ma Zhou knew Li Shan. Born.

There is no doubt that the target must be Pei Shiju.

But not long after, Ma Zhou taunted Li Shan several times in public, had close contacts with Li Gaoqian, and even lived in the home of Chang He, the guard of the left prison guard Zhonglang who was befriended by the prince, and Chang He was a Xuanwu sect. Guard, Wang Renbiao had to think a lot about these things.

Wang Renbiao didn't know what Li Shan wanted to do, but he was certain that Ma Zhou's actions must have been ordered by Li Shan... In fact, not all of them were ordered by Li Shan, at least he didn't let Ma Zhou talk so much. poison.

Ma Zhou's life is actually not easy now, er, mainly in the East Palace... Although he is a small person and is not valued by others, as Li Shan became famous all over the world, especially the old people such as Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, Wang Junhao, etc. With successive titles, someone always looks at Ma Zhou with strange eyes. This guy must have poor eyesight!
Besides, except Cui Xin's branch, the Qinghe Cui family's other official branches are all attached to the East Palace, and Ma Zhou has enmity with those few... How could life be easier!

However, Ma Zhou is a hard-boned person who refuses to bend down and bow his head, and is also a cheap mouth... Cui's children quarreled with him several times, but they were ridiculed. Listen to the sentence just now and you will know, Cui If Lun has the ability to pass the Jinshi examination, is it necessary to pass Li Shan to become an official?

Going to the wine shop to buy some pots of Yuhuchun, Ma Zhou went back to Chang's mansion with a sullen face, and impatiently drank a few mouthfuls as soon as he entered the door. Seeing the helpless expression on Chang He's face who came out, he complained: Brother, you said that my younger brother will be lucky in this life..."

"Okay, okay." Chang He snatched the jug, "It's already here, what's the use of talking about it."

If Ma Zhou was only performing a year ago, his current mentality...is completely true to the role, and no one can see the flaws.

Thinking about it, it should be. When he fell into Zhujiagou, Ma Zhou just planned to lie dormant for a while. He has confidence in his future, but he didn't expect the young man he met at the beginning of the year to soar so quickly... and here During this period, he was forced by that guy to this place where he could not see the future.

How could Ma Zhou be reconciled to this?
Hey, Li Shan has nothing to do, who made you Ma Zhou?
In fact, Li Shan is not sure what Ma Zhou did in the original sky, whether it played a role in the process of Chang He opening the Xuanwu Gate and allowing King Qin to bring his personal guards into the palace. Li Shan is even more unsure what Ma Zhou can do in this life. Maybe nothing can be done.

But people like Li Shan...will always think more, and will habitually leave one more backup.

I'm sorry for Ma Zhou.

Chang He looked at this friend with regretful eyes. In fact, he was also quite guilty. He knew that when Li Shan was ordered to take charge of the Daizhou Governor's Mansion, Ma Zhou failed to get a position because of his relationship with him... Uh, this It was Ma Zhou who inadvertently revealed it to him back then.

"The King of Handan is coming back..."

"Got it." Ma Zhou was a little listless.

"It is said that he will be promoted to the heir of the moniker."

Ma Zhou was stunned, grabbed the jug and drank it again, cursing in his heart.

Chang He coughed twice, "Guo Xiaoke was transferred to be the governor of Lingzhou, and Yang Ze was appointed as the governor of Longzhou."

Seeing that Ma Zhou didn't respond, Chang He continued: "There are three more generals from the Tianjie Army who have joined the Changlin Army."

This time Ma Zhou reacted, frowned and thought for a while, "In fact, Luo Yi can't directly control the Changlin Army, Li Gaoqian is in command."

"En." Chang He nodded and said, "Duke Huo is in control of the Beiya Forbidden Army. King Yan Jun is now the General of the Guard of the Right Prison, and he is reluctant to resist. Li Gaoqian is the General of the Guard of the Right Prison, and he does not have much real power, so the Crown Prince made him Commander Lin Jun."

Ma Zhou lowered his head. The combat strength of the Changlin Army is actually very weak, but in the past six months, especially after Luo Yi was transferred back to the court, the grassroots generals and academies under Luo Yi's command have been successively transferred to the Changlin Army to strengthen their combat capabilities. force.

Luo Yi was originally a warlord who occupied Youzhou. Shortly after Wude entered the court for five years, he was transferred to be the governor of Hezhou. military.

A look of worry appeared on Chang He's face, "Prince Bin, the East Palace..."

That's for sure, Ma Zhou thought, in the battle of Tiantai Mountain, the crown prince was completely defeated inside and out. Quan Chang'an knew that the crown prince had lost his virtue, and that the crown prince was also rejected by His Majesty... A good hand of cards was played like this , what else can I say?
For the current plan, it is only possible to win by surprise. With the prince's temperament, he may not have the courage, but there is still Pei Shiju... Ma Zhou was a little excited, and he opened his right hand, and unconsciously rubbed it on his clothes a few times. It's sweat.

From Ma Zhou's point of view, if the King of Qin successfully moved into the East Palace, he would have wasted the past few years, and his career in the future... Although Li Shan valued friendship, considering Li Shan's military exploits and his service in the army With so many old generals and direct descendants, I reckon that it is difficult for me to have a bright future.

But if the crown prince and Pei Shiju want to do something, and at the critical moment, they try their best to turn the tide, then the road ahead will be easy!

"Anyway, you're just a general, no matter how big an issue is, you won't be involved." Ma Zhou seemed to be consoling.

Chang He is still frowning, his status in the East Palace is the most embarrassing, he was originally from the lineage of the King of Qin, but was win over by the prince... Similar things have been happening in his life, and this time may be the most dangerous one .

Ma Zhou took a few glances at Chang He, and suddenly felt guilty... Anyway, this old friend treated him really well, but if something really happened, no matter what he wanted to do, he had to go through Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate.

If Chang He is willing to listen to himself, then everything is easy to say... After all, Chang He's heart is vacillating, and his ears are a little soft.

But if something unexpected happens, Chang He refuses to obey, then there is nothing he can do.

Having lived in Chang He's house for three years, Ma Zhou is sure to control Chang He at critical moments.
