Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 856
"Master Qin, you're a bit of a virtuoso."

Everyone knows that Ma Zhou is Qin Tian's brother-in-law, and now Qin Tian recommends Ma Zhou to help the disaster.
An official stood up and said, but on Qin Tian's side, he laughed: "If it's a good job, I recommend Ma Zhou. , that can only be regarded as honoring virtue and not avoiding relatives."

Speaking of this, Qin Tian glanced at the group of officials, and said: "If anyone of you thinks that you can go to the grassland to solve this matter, you can stand up or recommend them. If they are really capable, I will support them."

After saying this, the officials looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Without him, no matter who it is, it is very clear that going to the grassland to provide disaster relief is by no means an easy task.

If they are from other places in the Tang Dynasty, it's okay to say, after all, they are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, so there may be no danger, as long as the food is transported there.

But the grassland is not good. The grassland is full of old Turkic people. In the eyes of the people of Tang Dynasty, these old Turkic people are similar to barbarians. It is too dangerous for you to deal with barbarians.

No one stood up, Li Shimin nodded after seeing this situation.

In fact, for Ma Zhou, Li Shimin also wants to reuse it, because in the past few years, some of Ma Zhou's performances are indeed remarkable. Merits come.

"Okay, since Qin Aiqing recommended Ma Zhou, and the others have no objections, let's make a decision like this and order Ma Zhou to prepare as soon as possible and go to the grassland to provide disaster relief."

After Li Shimin said this, someone immediately went down to order.

But at this moment, Gao Shilian suddenly stood up.

"My lord, when Ma Zhou goes to the grassland, he has to lead troops. However, Ma Zhou is a civil servant, so I'm afraid it might be inappropriate, so I think he should send a supervising army."

Throughout the ages, whenever a war is fought, a supervisory army must be sent, and this supervisory army is usually served by an eunuch.

When Gao Shilian said such words, he naturally wanted to cause some trouble for Ma Zhou.

He can't find Qin Tian any trouble now, but Ma Zhou, he thinks he can still squeeze it.

After hearing Gao Shilian's words, Qin Tian's eyebrows froze for a moment. He naturally knew what Gao Shilian meant. For no reason, he suddenly wanted to give Ma Zhou a supervisor. Isn't this obviously looking for trouble?
However, there have been military supervisors throughout the ages, and Qin Tian couldn't say anything.

Li Shimin didn't think much about it here. In his opinion, this matter was very common and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, then find a supervisor for Ma Zhou and let Cui Yan go."

Cui Yan was an eunuch, and he worked in the palace. His official position wasn't particularly high, but he wasn't low either.

After Li Shimin finished speaking like this, he didn't continue discussing, and the morning court was considered to be over.

At the end of the morning court, the officials retreated.

When Qin Tian walked out of the palace, his eyebrows were fixed.

The reason why he recommended Ma Zhou was firstly because Ma Zhou did have this ability, and secondly, he hoped that Ma Zhou could be promoted as soon as possible, so that his influence in the court would become stronger and stronger.

The more powerful one is, the easier things will be.

However, he didn't expect Gao Shilian to intervene and even create a supervising army.

If there is a supervising army, the situation is not good.

After thinking for a while, Qin Tian decided to go to Ma Zhou's residence.
-
The weather in Chang'an in early autumn was still good. When Qin Tian came to Ma Zhou's mansion, Qin Feiyan was teasing her daughter.

Ma Xiaoyun, who is almost one year old, looks so cute that people can't help but want to hug her and play with her.

However, as soon as Qin Tian arrived, Ma Zhou greeted him.

"Brother Qin, just now the palace servants came to send an order to me to go to the grassland to provide disaster relief. What's going on?"

Naturally, Ma Zhou didn't think anything about disaster relief, but he was just curious.

Qin Tiandao: "I recommended you to the Holy Majesty. Brother Ma, you are a talented person and deserve more opportunities. If this disaster relief is successful, the Holy Majesty will definitely reward you. Of course, it is also because you can Do this, and I recommend you."

Hearing that this was the case, Ma Zhou nodded: "For disaster relief, it's no problem for me. I'll pack it up and leave the day after tomorrow."

As an official, Ma Zhou still wanted to do things for the court, and this was indeed an opportunity for him.

However, when Ma Zhou was saying this, Qin Tian said again: "This matter is good, but don't be careless. The Holy Majesty also sent you a supervisor called Cui Yan. There is a supervisor here. , I'm afraid your trip will not be comfortable."

Hearing this, Ma Zhou's expression changed slightly. He was only going to provide disaster relief, so why should he add a supervising army?
And at this moment, he finally understood why Qin Tian had to come again. It was obvious that he had a long way to go to go to the grassland.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Qin Tian nodded: "It's just a supervising army, you don't have to take him too seriously, if his behavior affects your decision-making, you might as well hit hard."

Qin Tian said the word "heavy hand" very heavily, obviously referring to it specially. Ma Zhou raised his head and glanced at Qin Tian, ​​and immediately understood the meaning of Qin Tian's words.

"I see."

After the two of them said this, Qin Tiantian smiled, and then walked towards Qin Feiyan. It was hard for him to come here, and he had to tease his niece no matter what.

While Qin Tian was doing this in Ma Zhou's mansion, in a restaurant in Chang'an City, Gao Shilian was sitting in a private room drinking, waiting for someone.

He didn't wait too long, and soon, a middle-aged eunuch with a white face and beardless, about forty years old, came out.

The eunuch raised his orchid finger, and when he came in, he immediately yelled.

"Oh, Mr. Gao, why did you invite me to this kind of place?"

The eunuch's voice was ugly, as if something was blocked in his throat, Gao Shilian saw Cui Yan approaching, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Cui is an elegant person, it is indeed a shame to come to this kind of place, but since you are here, please come sit down."

"Oh, look at what you said, Mr. Gao, what kind of elegant person is that Zajia, I will just say it casually."

As Cui Yan said, he sat down opposite Gao Shilian, then picked up a cup of tea, raised his orchid finger and took a sip, then looked up at Gao Shilian, and said: "Master Gao invited me, it should not be as simple as just wanting to drink tea Bar?"

"Haha, Eunuch Cui is indeed a smart person, yes, yes, it's not just as simple as drinking tea, it's mainly about asking for something..."
