The emperor has been very comfortable in the past two days.
Every day I just rest in the inn when I have nothing to do, and want to go out for a walk and see the scenery.
Li Ke sent someone to carry the emperor over.
Eat, drink, have fun, are you happy?
The emperor was a little greedy for these days, and even hoped from the bottom of his heart that such days could last longer.
"Father, Ma Zhiyuan is here." In the morning, the emperor was planning to go out for a walk.
Li Ke suddenly walked in and told the emperor that Ma Zhiyuan had come to pay homage.
"Ma Zhiyuan, this guy, is probably here to urge me to go to Qi County again."
"It seems that I am so anxious." The emperor said lightly.
Ever since he learned that these Qizhou officials were about to attack him, the emperor, he had always remembered this matter in his heart.
As an emperor, he never lets things go lightly about betrayal.
"Tell Ma Zhiyuan that my health has not recovered yet. When I am almost done, I will go to Qi County with him." The emperor waved his hand and signaled Li Ke to go out and drive Ma Zhiyuan away.
Li Ke nodded.
Come to the first floor of the inn.
When Ma Zhiyuan saw Li Ke, he had guessed what the emperor meant.
Although I was extremely unhappy, I still had to pretend to be nothing on my face.
"Your Highness, what does Your Majesty say?" Ma Zhiyuan squeezed out a smile on his face.
"The father's health has not recovered yet, so he needs to rest here for another two days."
"If Governor Ma has something important, he can go back to Qi County first. His father said he would not blame him." Li Ke and Ma Zhiyuan said.
Ma Zhiyuan smiled.
It would be great if he could go back to Qixian with peace of mind, but Ma Zhiyuan knew that once he and Ma Zhiyuan left here.
The emperor will definitely return home.
Then all their plans over the years have failed?
Next time the emperor comes again, he will definitely lead a large army.
At that time, Ma Zhiyuan would die without a place to bury him.
"Your Highness the King of Shu, please tell Your Majesty that you will go to Qi County together when your Majesty is in good health."
"Goodbye." Ma Zhiyuan bowed to Li Ke, then turned around and left.
Li Ke looked at Ma Zhiyuan leaving, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.
Back to the emperor's room.
"Father, the man is gone." Li Ke said to the emperor.
The emperor stood at the window and looked at Ma Zhiyuan who was entering the carriage, and the sharpness flashed across the corners of his eyes.
"Today, by the north lake in the city, accompany me to fish." The emperor came to his senses and said to Li Ke.
...
Ma Zhiyuan returned to his residence.
After being blocked by the emperor incredibly perfunctorily, Ma Zhiyuan was full of anger.
The incident in Qi County made him lose his composure for a while.
Ma Zhiyuan's mind was full of the murderer who found their conspiracy letters from Ma Zhiqing's relics.
Then the emperor learned about this.
If this continues, all the nine tribes of Ma Zhiyuan will be killed.
"Sir, just heard from Chang'an that King Zhao Chen of Han was not in Chang'an."
"It's very likely that he has come to Qizhou." The attendant ran over and leaned into Ma Zhian's ear and said.
"Is Zhao Chen coming to Chang'an?" Ma Zhiyuan immediately stood up from the stool after hearing this.
Although he had never met Zhao Chen, there have been too many things happening to Zhao Chen in the past two years.
Ma Zhiyuan was very worried that Zhao Chen would come with him this time when the emperor went out.
After all, Zhao Chen's horror has been verified in the past major events.
Fortunately, when I saw the emperor, I didn't see Zhao Chen.
This made Ma Zhiyuan breathe a sigh of relief.
But now, he actually heard the news from his side that Zhao Chen was not in Chang'an, and it is very likely that he had come to Qizhou.
This news made Ma Zhiyuan feel a little uncomfortable.
"What does the news really mean?" Ma Zhiyuan was still a little unbelievable.
Or rather, he himself was unwilling to believe the news.
"That's how the news is said." The attendant nodded.
He had never heard of Zhao Chen and didn't quite understand why his adults were so afraid of Zhao Chen.
"Sir, you said that since Zhao Chen is not in Chang'an, we have never seen him."
"Can't he come to Qizhou at all?" the attendant asked in a low voice.
Ma Zhiyuan shook his head. Since there was news in Chang'an that Zhao Chen might have come to Qizhou, then naturally...
Suddenly, Ma Zhiyuan seemed to think of something.
"Transfer news to Lu Yifa and tell him that the person who killed his son is likely Zhao Chen."
"Zhao Chen has come to Qizhou and has arrived in Qi County." Ma Zhiyuan only felt a chill on his back.
They thought the emperor's men were still in Jingxian, but they did not expect that Zhao Chen had already arrived in Qixian in secret.
They even found their secret letter.
"Let him find a way to find a way, be sure to capture Zhao Chen, otherwise our doomsday will come." Ma Zhiyuan said to the servant again.
The attendant nodded and left quickly.
Ma Zhiyuan sat dejectedly on the ground, his eyes looking a little dull.
At this moment, Ma Zhiyuan was filled with worry.
Soon, the attendant came back and told the news had been spread.
Ma Zhiyuan raised his head, the worry in his eyes dissipated a little, and asked again: "Is the emperor still in the inn?"
"I'm not here, I just left the city and went fishing by the lake in the north of the city." The attendant shook his head.
"Fishing?" Ma Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then a sneer appeared on his face.
"The emperor is not fishing, it is clearly waiting for Zhao Chen to come from Qi County."
"Okay, since your emperor doesn't want to go to Qi County, then I will force you to go." Ma Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
...
In September, Jingxian is bright and cool in autumn.
The breeze blew across the lake, rippling waves.
Several fish crossed the water, drew arcs in the air, and then plunged into the water.
The emperor sat on the stool, holding a fishing rod in his hand.
There was tea next to me, and my face was filled with a comfortable and complacent look.
Li Ke sat about ten steps away from the emperor, his face full of boredom.
He didn't want to fish here, he just wanted to follow Zhao Chen. Even if he was a little tired, he was scolded every day.
Li Ke also felt comfortable.
