The Book of Heaven

Chapter 436 surrender
Ma Zheng wasn't very interested in these things at first, so what's the point of recovering a Li family?Perhaps others think that accepting a younger brother is a great thing, but in Ma Zheng's view, it is troublesome, especially accepting an emperor like Li Shimin, maybe it will be short-lived.

"I can completely understand, isn't the current situation very good? Li Min died, and your family's innocence has also been recognized. Brother Shimin works hard for the court, and the future must be bright."

"If only things were that simple!"

Ma Zheng's incomprehensible distress appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"I want to be the master of the Li family!"

After the two were silent for a moment, Li Shimin suddenly spoke.

"Can I help you solve this problem?" Ma Zheng was also a little curious, why Li Shimin would tell himself this.

"Yes! The current military supervisor may not have enough influence in the court, but you have Princess Qingping behind you, and I believe that the future of the military supervisor is even more limitless. The Li family can only follow in the footsteps of the military supervisor. Only then will it be possible to reproduce the glory of the Li family one day!"

"I don't even know, so I can still influence Her Royal Highness Princess Qingping?" Ma Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "But shouldn't the normal procedure be that you control the Li family first, and then come to negotiate terms with me?"

"Without the help of Lord Supervisor, I might not be able to control the Li family. Lord Supervisor should know that I have an older brother named Li Jiancheng. My father left him at home to preside over this expedition. Obviously, he was planning to let him The one who inherits the position of Patriarch." The order of seniority, even with Li Shimin's intelligence, is difficult to change. In another time and space, he even launched the "Xuanwu Gate Change" for this reason, and finally sat on the throne of God Obviously, the Li Shiming in front of Ma Zheng is infinitely weaker than him in that time and space, and even the goal of life has dropped from being a co-owner of the world to being a mere patriarch of the Li family.

"I can't guarantee this. After all, opportunities in life are unpredictable." Ma Zheng smiled lightly. It's not that he didn't want to help Li Shimin, and he didn't know Li Jiancheng anyway, but if he just made a promise on the spur of the moment, It may take a heavy price to realize in the future.

"Shimin can swear to the sky here, life and death will be loyal to Lord Supervisor, as long as Lord Supervisor agrees, let Shimin become the head of the Li family!"

"It's fine to swear. Since I already know about this matter, I think it's impossible to quit. If you can become the head of the Li family, it may be good for me. Let's just say that, if I can help you in the future, I will help you, how about it?"

Ma Zheng didn't talk about the master-slave relationship. He didn't take advantage of it and he didn't have to take responsibility. In fact, Li Shimin was not very satisfied with such a result, but that was the only way to go. After that, Li Shimin said in a low voice, "My father is actually very sad when Li Min died. He saw me happy, so he was even more dissatisfied with me."

"Oh?"

This news surprised Ma Zheng a little. If Li Yuan still deeply respects Li Yan in his heart, it is hard to guarantee that one day Li Yuan will do something to harm the Han Empire. Despite the urgency of his family, Ma Zheng did not dare to make a decision easily.

"Do you have anything to prove?"

"Yes! Li Yan holds the trade teams and routes between the Li family and the western countries. Apart from him, only my father and three uncles can touch these things. You can ask my father for them. If he doesn't give them to you, It proves that he has other ideas in mind."

Of course Ma Zheng knew that doing business with the West in this era is a business of beheading, but the ancients have said that no one does a loss-making business of beheading, and someone does a beheading business, as long as it is profitable.Risks and benefits are generally proportional, the key is whether there is that diamond.

After years of careful management by Li Yan, the trade team built by the Li family is actually no different from a small army. Although Ma Zheng doesn't know the exact number, if Li Yuan secretly controls such an elite team, it's easy to know what he wants. It's hard to say.

"Is it really okay for you to be so straightforward? If this matter is verified by the court, not only Li Yuan will not be able to escape, but you may all be implicated."

"That's why I wish to worship under the lord!" Li Shimin was straightforward, without any concealment or hesitation, and sold Li Yuan completely.

"However, I hope that your lord will not tell the court this news." After a while, Li Shimin whispered again.

"Oh? Why?"

"Actually, I can also master this team, and then I can bring a steady stream of benefits to adults, even more than the benefits of Zhuge's workshop." Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and even Ma Zheng felt a little bit uncomfortable when he saw it. dazzling.This person's ambition is indeed beyond ordinary people.

"I need a little time to think about this matter. If there is nothing else, let's stop here today?"

"Okay! My lord, the last general will leave first!"

Li Shimin cupped his hands in salute, then slowly backed away, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

After confirming that Li Shimin had gone far away, a smile suddenly appeared on Ma Zheng's face, and he said in a low voice, "Still coming out?"

"You already found me?"

Zhao Shuying's voice and figure appeared almost at the same time, and she didn't know where she was hiding just now, but Li Shimin didn't notice it at all.

"Have you heard it all?" Ma Zheng has actually discovered Zhao Shuying a long time ago. After all, his way of perceiving the outside world is different from other people in this world. Even if Zhao Shuying's realm is higher than him, he still cannot escape.

"Almost." Zhao Shuying didn't make any comments, but walked to Ma Zheng's side habitually.

"It's not good for a man to be too ambitious." Ma Zheng sighed. He didn't know how to evaluate Li Shimin. After all, everyone has their own reasons for living. Some are for pleasure, some are for power, and some are just To prove that he is alive.

"That's exhausting."

"Are you reminding me? Don't worry, I am different from them, so what I want is also different from them." Ma Zheng turned his body slightly, just in time to face Zhao Shuying head-on, he slowly raised his hand and touched Zhao Shuying Cold cheeks.Maybe it's because of the night, maybe it's because of the silence, or maybe it's a matter of course.

This is the first time that Ma Zheng touched Zhao Shuying with emotion. When his fingers touched the skin that was shattered by blowing, Zhao Shuying's delicate body shook slightly, but he didn't flinch in the slightest, and even opened his eyes wide Yes, look at Ma Zheng.
