"Report to Your Majesty, the Anxi Protectorate is going very smoothly now. The majority of the Protector Guo Xiaoke has taken office, General Su has handed over the military power and is preparing to return to Beijing to report his duties. But I took the lead, so I arrived in Chang'an two months earlier than him. In addition, the Feinusi has achieved remarkable results there. We have won over some nobles of the Western Turks, and some large tribes are willing to contact us. As long as we continue to work hard, the Western Turks will sooner or later fall into civil strife again..."

In Liangyi Hall, Zhao Deyan, who had just returned from the Western Regions, was reporting to Li Shimin about the situation in the Western Regions, especially during his time in the Western Regions, the progress of Feinusi there. Although he had not been there for a long time, the effect was very significant, and he had laid the foundation. As long as there was no big mistake, the civil strife in the Western Turks was almost a foregone conclusion.

"You have done a good job. You have worked hard during this period. I have asked someone to prepare a reward for you and will be delivered to your home tomorrow. In addition, General Ma has worked very hard during this period when you are not here. When you come back, you will also help General Ma share some affairs." Li Shimin smiled and praised. At the end of the day, he also looked at Mr. Ma next to him. After Zhao Deyan came back, he went to Feinusi first, and then went to the palace with Mr. Ma to meet Li Shimin.

"Thank you for your understanding. The old minister is indeed a bit useless. This time Deyan comes back and performs so well. I can rest assured!" At this time, Ma Master also smiled and said, "He used to be unwilling to be old, but as he gets older, he can't accept old age anymore. Moreover, he is very satisfied with Zhao Deyan's performance. Feinusi, an institution he founded, can finally hand over it with confidence.

When Zhao Deyan heard Li Shimin and Ma Ye's words, he hurriedly said a few humble words, but he was also quite happy at this time, because Li Shimin and Ma Ye had already admitted that he would take over Ma Ye's position and become the commander of Feinusi. Although Feinusi was a little special and could not even be too public in his official position, he had real power in his hands, and was directly under the control of Li Shimin. In terms of status, he could even be compared with several husbands.

At this moment, Li Shimin briefly asked about the matter in the Western Regions, which made Zhao Deyan and Ma Ye leave. At this time, Ma Ye also held a banquet for Zhao Deyan in the Feinusi. Some important figures in the Situation also came and were waiting for him there, so the two left Liangyi Hall to prepare to go to Feinusi.

The headquarters of Feinusi was originally in the imperial city, but later the scale of Feinusi continued to expand, and the personnel composition of Feinusi was very complicated. The control in the imperial city was too strict, which was really inconvenient for Feinusi to handle affairs. So Feinusi was later moved out of the imperial city. The current headquarters of Feinusi is located near Yanxi Gate on the east side of the imperial city, not very far from the Imperial College.

At that moment, Mr. Ma and Zhao Deyan followed the passage on the south side of Tai Chi Palace all the way east, preparing to leave the imperial city from Yanxi Gate on the east side. The two of them also walked and chatted. After a few words, Zhao Deyan asked in confusion: "General Ma, although His Majesty praised me just now, I think His Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood and did not ask too much about the situation in the Western Regions. Is there something happening in the court?"

Although Feinu Sizhong is well-informed, Zhao Deyan has been in the Western Regions for nearly a year and the news is very low. In addition, he just came back, so he naturally doesn't know much about the situation in Chang'an.

When he heard Zhao Deyan's words, Mr. Ma smiled bitterly. It happened that they were about to reach Yanxi Gate at this time, so Mr. Ma suddenly stopped and said, "A lot of things have indeed happened in Chang'an, such as if you listen carefully now!"

"Listen?" Zhao Deyan was stunned when he heard Ma Master's words. However, out of trust in Ma Master, he turned his ear and listened carefully. As a result, he really heard a lot of sounds, such as the sound of stringed and bamboo drum music from somewhere, as if someone was holding a grand banquet.

"I heard it, this sound came from that direction!" Ma Ye pointed to the direction on the north side of theirs as he spoke.

"Where? Isn't there an East Palace? Is it said that the prince holds a banquet?" Zhao Deyan followed Ma's pointing, and finally saw Jiafu Gate at a glance. This palace gate is the main gate of the East Palace. Usually, ministers who want to ask for the prince must pass by here.

"Haha, the sound of the silk and bamboo drum music in the East Palace has been scared for more than ten days, and it is not stopped day and night. What kind of banquet should you say be held for more than ten days at once, and who can drink it for more than ten days in a row?" Mr. Ma said with a bitter smile at this time.

"What?" Zhao Deyan was also shocked when he heard Mr. Ma's words. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen. It seems that the East Palace is not holding a banquet at all, but there is something else!

It was too close to the East Palace, so Ma Master was not convenient to say too much here, so he pulled Zhao Deyan to leave the place first. After leaving Yanxi Gate and leaving the imperial city, he spoke again: "Chang'an has been very uneasy during this period. The main reason is that it is on the prince. The prince didn't know what was going on some time ago, and he actually had an actor with a man..."

Now Ma Ye told Li Chengqian about Li Chengqian some time ago, and even said that Li Shimin had killed Li Chengqian with his own hands and was imprisoned. However, later Li Shimin might have listened to what Li Xiu persuaded, so he lifted Li Chengqian's confinement in advance.

However, just as Li Xiu expected, after Li Chengqian lifted his confinement and regained his freedom, after sinking for a while, he began a more ridiculous life, which was to gather hundreds of musicians and dancers in the East Palace and let them take turns playing music and dancing. It has been stopped for more than ten days.

Moreover, Li Chengqian had attended the morning court like other ministers. He had some simple government affairs, and Li Shimin would directly hand it over to him, which was to cultivate his ability to govern. However, since the lockdown was lifted, Li Chengqian never went to court, let alone Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining and others, and it was difficult for Zhao Jie and others to see him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is obviously angry with Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is still calm and let the prince make trouble during this period. It is estimated that after this period, Your Majesty will find a way to ease the relationship with Your Majesty." Mr. Ma finally spoke again.
