Chapter 571 Arrangements for Master Ma

"I wonder what your Majesty wants to talk to me about Uncle Ma?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard that Li Shimin was going to talk to him about something related to Ma Master, and at the same time he was a little worried. After all, Ma Master is going to get married now, and Li Shimin must not do anything to delay Ma Master's marriage.

"That's right. General Ma used to be in charge of Feinusi and did a great job. His father was very satisfied before. However, Zhang Shigui temporarily took over his position. However, now I have a new appointment with Zhang Shigui, so I am afraid I can't take charge of Feinusi anymore. I'm not at ease with the others, so I want to ask General Ma to take over Feinusi again. What do you think?" Li Shimin also saw that Li Xiu was a little wary and explained with a smile.

"Let Uncle Ma take over Feinusi again?" Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Li Shimin in surprise when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Shimin had such an idea. After all, Feinusi is so important. The person who can take charge of Feinusi must be the emperor's confidant. In the past, Ma Ye was Li Yuan's confidant, but now he is definitely not called Li Shimin's confidant.

"How could Your Majesty suddenly have such a plan?" After being shocked, Li Xiu asked Li Shimin very cautiously. This matter came too suddenly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"It's not to say that I suddenly had this idea. In fact, Fennusi was established by General Ma from scratch under the instruction of my father, so he was the most familiar with Fennusi. Although Zhang Shigui did a good job after taking over Fennusi, he still couldn't compare with General Ma. And I have also considered it carefully. In recent years, it is time for Fennusi to do his best. I don't feel at ease if I change someone who is not familiar with Fennusi, so it's best that General Ma continues to take charge of Fennusi." Li Shimin explained seriously at this time.

Li Xiu was able to tell that Li Shimin's words were indeed sincere. After Zhang Shigui took over the Feinusi, he cleaned up a group of Ma Ye's confidants, causing these people to die or withdraw. However, these people were all backbones of the Feinusi. Without them, the operation of the Feinusi would naturally be affected. If Li Xiu had not recommended Zhao Deyan later, Zhang Shigui would not have been able to show any political achievements worth boasting about.

"Your Majesty's consideration is very reasonable, but Uncle Ma's current situation is different from before. I don't know if he will agree with this matter, so why don't you let me explore his words first and then report to Your Majesty?" Li Xiu did not dare to agree to this matter for Mr. Ma, so he used a delaying strategy.

"I think so too, but Zhang Shigui will leave Chang'an after the New Year, so you'd better find out about this before the New Year. If it really doesn't work, I can only arrange other people." Li Shimin did not force Ma Ye to take over. In fact, an organization as important as Feinusi must also make people willingly serve the court, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"I understand!" Li Xiu agreed again. When he said this, he suddenly remembered something again, so he spoke to Li Shimin again, "Your Majesty, I heard that the news from the prime minister was sent back by a spy arranged by a Feinusi in the Turkic Republic. I don't know where this person is. I want to see him in person?"

"Just a spy, why would you want to see him?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard the request made by Li Xiu.

"Your Majesty, I just want to ask him about Zhao Deyan's situation in the Turkic period. After all, I sent him to the Turkic period, so I also hope that he could return from the Turkic period safely!" Li Xiu said solemnly at this time. Although Zhao Deyan went to the Turkic period mainly to avenge his family and destroy his family, he also made countless contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Xiu also hoped that he would have a good result in the future.

"So that's the case. I'm afraid only you have this intention!" Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this. Li Xiu's thoughts were different from ordinary people. Sometimes he couldn't guess Li Xiu's thoughts. For example, in this matter today, he and Changsun Wuji only care about the information sent back by Zhao Deyan, but they never thought about Zhao Deyan's life in the Turkic period.

"That spy is from Feinusi. This time he brought back this news in the heavy wind and snow, and he made great contributions, so he also had to go back to Chang'an to receive the reward. However, he frostbite his legs when he came back, so he needed to rest in Lingzhou for a while. He probably would not come back later. I will let you know!" Li Shimin said again. The reason why he knew so clearly was that Feinusi asked for me for this spy, so he specially brought the spy with him when reporting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing Li Shimin agreeing, Li Xiu saluted him again with great gratitude.

After talking about the main business, Li Xiu saw that he had nothing to do with him, so he stood up and said goodbye. However, when he left, Li Shimin reminded him to go to Li Yuan more. Although Li Xiu agreed to this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that Li Shimin, who is a son, has no face to see Li Yuan, but wants his son-in-law to go, which is really unreasonable!

Li Xiu left Liangyi Hall and the first thing he did when he returned home was to find Ma Ye, but he was told that Ma Ye had not been at home for several days. Thinking that Ma Ye should be preparing for marriage during this period, he probably went to Wuzhizhuang to find Xiang Shanzhi and others. After all, Ma Ye's marriage has always been handled by Xiang Shanzhi and other old subordinates of the Detachment of Women.

So Li Xiu went to Wuzhizhuang again, and found Ma Ye. Not only Ma Ye and Xiang Shanzhi were around, but He Panren and Qiu Shili were rarely rushed back. The four of them were sitting in the yard of Xiang Shanzhi's home drinking and eating meat. When they saw Li Xiu, they immediately called him to sit down and drink with them.

"When did General He and General Qiu come back?" Everyone was acquaintance, and Li Xiu did not refuse, so he smiled and sat down to He. Qiu asked, "One of them is stationed in Hebei and the other is stationed in Shandong, and it is rare to come back in normal times."

"We two arrived yesterday and received news that Brother Ma was going to get married, so we immediately dealt with the matter and made an appointment to return to Beijing together. Fortunately, it was not too late, so we can help a little!" He Panren said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that Brother Ma would get married one day. I introduced him many women before, but he didn't even look down on him. This time, I finally found someone who could subdue Brother Ma!" At this time, Qiu Shili also smiled and joked.
