【2050】Walker Ma Xiaoquan

Ministers all compete for favor, not to mention Zhu Youjian praising others in front of their faces.

The staff officer changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Xiaoquan has a traitor in his head, so it's best to be careful in everything."

Zhu Youjian glared at the staff officer, or was so frightened that he quickly bowed.

"You don't need to remind me about this, I know~" Zhu Youjian said lightly, then he walked to the table, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip of the herbal tea in the cup.

"Have the designers of the ship that Emperor Xiyuan fell into the water and the people who built the ship been dealt with?"

The staff officer hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "It's almost done. There is no shipbuilder left, but there is only one supervisor. He is a court official and it is not easy to deal with it."

Zhu Youjian was displeased: "Do I still need to ask you about this kind of thing?"

The staff officer quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "You know what to do, little one."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand impatiently, and the staff member hurriedly stood up and left.

After a while, a masked man walked respectfully in front of Zhu Youjian and half-knelt down.

Zhu Youjian didn't turn around, let alone look back. He just asked softly: "Did my brother drink the spirit dew drink?"

The masked man said respectfully: "I drank a lot. Wei Zhongxian, that idiot, thinks that thing is a treasure and insists on taking credit for himself..."

Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "You did a good job, okay, let's get down~"

"Yes~~"

...

In Wei Zhongxian's house, he was pacing back and forth anxiously, mumbling something incessantly.

It is said that the emperor's physical condition has deteriorated day by day since he fell into the water in Xiyuan. Wei Zhongxian knew very well that if the emperor died, his good days would come to an end, so no matter what, he must not let the emperor die.

Although the next emperor is being passed down in the court, Wei Zhongxian does not believe in this evil. No wonder he thinks so. After all, the emperor is only twenty-three years old now. At this age, he should be in good health.

Li Yongzhen walked in, saw Wei Zhongxian anxious, and said respectfully: "Master Wei, the matter is clear..."

Wei Zhongxian stopped and said, "Is it Huo Weihua who is trying to kill me?"

Li Yongzhen shook his head and said: "The 'Spiritual Dew Drink' was carefully examined by the imperial physician and doctor in the palace. There is nothing special about it. It is just an ordinary tonic."

Li Yongzhen's words were not complete. At that time, the imperial doctor told him that if this Spiritual Dew Drink were taken by ordinary people, there would be no problem. However, the emperor was already ill, and he was given such a warm and tonic medicine, which would naturally make him more deficient.

Wei Zhongxian said: "That's strange. Why does the emperor become weaker and weaker the more he eats? The imperial doctor has already said that he can no longer take that 'Ling Lu Drink'."

Li Yongzhen said: "The little one also feels that he shouldn't eat it~"

Wei Zhongxian sighed and said: "That's all, call the Master tonight and let's have a meeting~"

...

At night, Wei Zhongxian's house was brightly lit. Cui Chengxiu, Xu Xianchun, Li Yongzhen, Wang Tiqian and other Wei Zhongxian's confidants were all there. There was an imperial chair in the center. Wei Zhongxian hadn't come yet, but no one in the main hall dared to speak casually, and everyone kept their mouths shut.

, quietly waiting for Mr. Wei's arrival.

Although everyone had different thoughts, everyone knew what was going to be discussed next. Everyone slowly shifted their gaze to the Grand Master's chair in the center and sighed softly in unison.

Not long after, Wei Zhongxian walked into the main hall, looked at the people in front of him, and then sat down on the Taishi chair. He stretched out his hands, indicating that you don't need to salute and start directly.

Master Wei didn't speak, and no one dared to speak. Wei Zhongxian waited for a long time before speaking first: "You should all know more or less about the situation in the palace, right? I want to ask you now, what should I do?"

Everyone here, when they took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, their thoughts were not on him. They just wanted to realize their personal desires. Now that Wei Zhongxian wants their advice, these people will naturally hide and avoid as long as they can. Just avoid it.

Wei Zhongxian frowned slightly and slowly turned his eyes to Wang Tiqian.

Wang Tiqian had no choice but to say: "Then Huo Weihua is a villain~ He made some 'spiritual dew drink' and almost caused a big case."

Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, what are you doing with that?"

Wang Tiqian said again: "Then it's better to just pack up his bed and get out~ Anyway, it's not like there are no capable people around Mr. Wei~"

As soon as Wang Tigan said this, everyone nodded in agreement, not because they agreed with Wang Tigan's opinion, but because they didn't want Wei Zhongxian to mention the candidate for the new emperor.

Wei Zhongxian was indeed confused at this critical moment. With everyone teasing him like this, he really forgot about the real purpose of today's meeting.

It was certain that there could not be only one topic at the meeting, so everyone turned the topic to Ma Xiaoquan.

Li Yongzhen said: "It is said that Ma Xiaoquan has gone to Gansu. It's better to find someone to keep him in Gansu forever~"

Wang Tigan said: "It would be best if it could be realized, but that Ma Xiaoquan is cunning and deceitful. It is said that when Jinzhou and Ningyuan were fighting, he was an unbeatable master~"

Cui Chengxiu said: "This matter is actually easy to handle. There is no difficulty in leaving Ma Xiaoquan behind, but we must do it more thoroughly and avoid leaking the news. After all, there are still a large number of Ma family members in Ningyuan. "

Wei Zhongxian nodded in agreement with Cui Chengxiu's words and asked: "Then what method can be used to keep Ma Xiaoquan in Gansu forever and not let him come back?"

Cui Chengxiu thought he was smart and said: "Ma Xiaoquan is not the only man in the Ma family. I heard that his second brother was injured during the war. He also asked Wang Zhichen and Man Gui for sick leave and said that he would return to the capital to recuperate. I'll take a look. Why doesn't Master Wei take this opportunity to recruit his second brother back to the capital, and at the same time, issue another imperial edict to allow Ma Xiaoquan to stay in Gansu with peace of mind."

Wei Zhongxian hummed and asked again: "Then they won't meet in private? Ma Xiaoquan is celebrating the New Year, what if he comes back?"

Cui Chengxiu said: "This is easy to handle. We only need to issue an imperial edict in the emperor's tone, requiring that the brothers cannot meet each other. Isn't that enough?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded. With his current power, it would be easy for him to forge one or two imperial edicts.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you~ Speed ​​up~"

...

Just as Wei Zhongxian and others were figuring out their next plan, Ma Xiaoquan was already halfway through the journey to Gansu.

"Sir, we are still halfway to Gansu, and someone should be there to greet you~"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "It doesn't matter whether you take it or not, I will just be a hands-off shopkeeper~"

"Oh~~"

Ma Xiaoquan sat up and looked at Beiming Shuangxue, who was still sleeping next to him. He sighed, took off his coat and put it on the latter's body.

Today's weather was quite good, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was not that hot. Ma Xiaoquan asked the groom to stop the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.

Stretching, Ma Xiaoquan murmured: "I don't know how they are doing. I've been gone for a few days~~ Mrs. Ma and her uncle in the capital, Ningyuan's parents and brothers and sisters-in-law, no.

Do you know how you are doing?"

The groom loosened the horse's reins, led the horse closer, and said with a smile: "If you are so worried, sir, it would be better to wait until we get to Gansu and write a letter to each of you first."

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a murmur in his heart.

His plan was to stop in Gansu and then secretly travel to the secret place, but he neglected to write a letter.

Yes, if you go to Gansu and your family sends letters to Gansu from time to time, wouldn't it be exposed that you secretly left?

"Master~~" Ma Xiaoquan said politely, "Based on your experience, how long does it take to write a letter to and from Ningyuan, Gansu?"

The coachman thought for a while and said: "It takes a long time. It also depends on the messenger. Like my trip, because the adults needed it, so I went in a hurry. You must have noticed the small box on the side of the carriage.

There are all the letters sent to Gansu. If we do this, the whole trip will take less than half a month. Of course, this is because it is expedited and the money has been added. If it is normal, a round trip will take almost two days.

A month and a half."

"Oh, two and a half months~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, "What if the letter is lost? As you know, the road will inevitably be bumpy, and it's hard to say if it's lost~"

"Well, I've lost some of this too. There's nothing I can do about it. In our line of work, we've made an agreement with the owner beforehand. If something gets lost, we can't bear the responsibility."

"Oh, I know~"

Beiming Shuangxue woke up, opened the car door, jumped out of the car, walked to Ma Xiaoquan, and asked, "Why don't you leave? Did something happen?"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No, it's a long journey. Let's take a short rest. The horses also need to drink water and eat some grass."

"Oh~~"

Ma Xiaoquan grabbed Beiming Shuangxue and asked in a low voice: "Isn't your family engaged in medicinal materials business? Do you have a base in Gansu?"

"Yes~"

"I have to ask your family for something~" Ma Xiaoquan whispered a few words into Beiming Shuangxue's ear, who nodded while listening.

"Well, this is no problem, but your appearance is difficult to make, and making human skin masks is not something my family is good at~"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Don't worry about this. Before I left, I asked Yue'er to pass the news to her family. When I arrive, they will start making a human skin mask in my look~"

Beiming Shuangxue looked at Ma Xiaoquan: "Ms. sir, do we really have to go to the secret realm?"

"Yes, I must go~"

"Hehe, I can't wait~"

Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand and tapped Bei Ming Shuangxue's forehead, and said with a smile: "Among the ladies, you are the most naughty and aggressive."

Beiming Shuangxue took Ma Xiaoquan's arm and said arrogantly: "So it is most suitable for my husband to take me with him on the trip to Gansu, right? Hehe..."
