Chapter 1221 The eldest grandson

Everyone in Changfu is no stranger to the Ministry of War, and the reputation of the Du brothers is much louder than others.

Zhang Junzheng just thought for a moment and said, "Is his brother the author Du Zhengzang?"

Zhou Bobao's eyes widened at the side, "Brother Zhang is talking about Du Huiting, the master of literary styles, the Du family?"

Ma Zhou nodded, "Yes, they are brothers. The three heroes of the Du family were in the middle of the Sui Dynasty. Du Zhengxuan died early. The other two are now serving in the court."

Zhang Junzheng and Zhang Junzheng smacked each other, and their confidence in King Wu could not help but increase. With their marriage to a famous man in the world, it seemed that the emperor's words could be trusted to a certain extent.

Du is different from those big nobles in Chang'an. His reputation is more important than the literary world. In some aspects, he is more valued by scholars than his marriage to a big noble.

Zhang Junzheng secretly said to himself that the court's treatment of King Wu was indeed different from that of Li Mi and others.

But he made a joke, "I heard that the Du brothers are originally from Hebei, so aren't they from the same hometown as Jijiu?"

After hearing this, Ma Zhou said in his heart, I do want to have friendship with others, but they may not pay attention to me.

So he shook his head and said with a smile: "My hometown is in Qinghe, not far away, but I am a fellow village party member with the Cui family, but if we really meet, who will they know who I am?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of what happened in his early years. Those libertines of the Cui family had their nostrils turned upward. If they didn't ridicule him, it would be considered as if their ancestors had burned high incense. How could there be any feelings of country party to talk about?

The other two people couldn't help but feel pity after hearing this. If you don't succeed, you won't be successful. Even your relatives won't want to talk to you, let alone other people.

……………………

After a while, Ma Zhou calmed down and said with a smile: "We don't need to think too much, let's just run the school well. Then when we have a little fame and look back on today, we may have some fun.

Don’t rush to talk about anything else. The days are long and we haven’t had much fun together today, so why not continue drinking and hope you don’t get drunk?”

Both Zhang Junzheng and Zhang Junzheng are indispensable.

No longer talking about business, Ma Zhouzhong asked the store to entertain them with singing and dancing. After that, the three of them talked almost like normal scholars. They drank fine wine, ate delicious food, and clapped their hands when the singing and dancing reached the wonderful point.

However, they did not go wild and had a good time. Zhang Junzheng was the first to leave, followed by Zhou Bobao.

Ma Zhou didn't do much to persuade them to stay. Before leaving, he told them that King Wu was moving and his daughter was getting married. The palace was very busy and it was the time when people were needed to help. He urged them to come quickly.

When the two of them heard this, they really had no time to spare this winter, but they could only nod and agree. It seemed that even if they did not eat with King Wu in the future, they would not be able to escape the relationship.

……………………

After setting up the courtyard, they could actually spend the night here. The three of them had no intention of doing so. After seeing off Zhang Junzheng and the others, Ma Zhou called two Qianniu to get ready and headed back home.

After leaving the Baihua Building, he got on his horse and ignored the complaints of the two dissatisfied Qian Niu Bei Shen. He just thought about today's events and finally sighed, feeling a little regretful that Yu Zongdao hadn't arrived yet.

That's all Xu Zhenqing, he is a fighting man. There is no shortage of such people among the people transferred by the King of Wu. However, there is a shortage of people like Yu Zongdao, who has stayed in Chang'an for a long time and is familiar with trivial things. He will have to go there later.

Let's visit him. Even if he breaks his leg, he should be brought over.

While thinking about things, I didn't feel much cold, and unknowingly came to the vicinity of Buzhengfang.

There was the sound of horse hooves from behind. Ma Zhou turned around and looked around. Several people came on horseback, walking very fast. Ma Zhou took his horses and followers to stay aside for a while.

The people who came were not domineering. Some people hugged their fists on the horse. Ma Zhou returned the greeting. Those people did not stop and walked past.

The sky was a little dark, but Ma Zhou saw an acquaintance in the blink of an eye. His heart trembled, and he couldn't help but secretly said bad luck.

That person was none other than Sun Wuji, the former commander of Chang'an.

Last winter, Ma Zhou and others were arrested and taken to Chang'an Lingya, and the person who tried them was Changsun Wuji himself.

Ma Zhou also suffered a few blows. Even if it wasn't a great shame, it was still one of the most terrible memories in Ma Zhou's life.

Of course, I can't blame others. None of the men in Chang He's family were decent. They caused trouble by following them, and this is what they ended up with.

People who work as staff are well prepared, and the pain of flesh and blood is nothing. And because they are officials, they have some preferential treatment when they enter the Chang'an magistrate's office. They don't have to take off their pants and get slapped, and they have to be gentler. If you are serious, you still have to do it.

I have to inherit other people's feelings.

Ma Zhou was a man who had suffered a lot and was severely beaten by society. He already knew these truths, so what could he do if he felt aggrieved? He came from a prominent family, and even if he became prime minister, he might not be able to win over them, so what else could he do?

, I can only go back to Prince Wu’s Mansion in a hurry.

……………………

However, Changsun Wuji had completely forgotten about Ma Zhou. Even if he saw him in broad daylight, he would not recognize him. At most, he would look familiar.

And he had offended many people during his tenure in Chang'an. Even if he recognized Ma Zhou and knew that he was resentful, he would still look down upon him.

In these years, he not only served as the magistrate of Chang'an, but also served as the magistrate of Chang'an County. The official position was not high, but it was not an easy position. He had already developed a heart of stone.

At this time, he was riding on a horse and was surrounded by people. His young face was as serious as ever. He was a very majestic person, and he never smiled lightly at others, which made people a bit intimidated.

He had just been promoted to the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and was temporarily in charge of all affairs of Dali Temple. He seemed to have become one of the senior officials in the court, which made him quite uneasy.

Three years ago, when Li Yuan was defeated, he fled westward with Qin King Li Shimin and was surrounded by a large army in Fufengdong. Almost everyone was captured. The swarming cavalry and the earth-shattering sound of horse hooves are still in his mind to this day.

It appears frequently in dreams.

The horse's hooves not only crushed Li's imperial hegemony, but also crushed his ambitions. Frustrated, he wanted to die.

Because he was not only a confidant of King Qin Li Shimin, but also his uncle and brother-in-law. He was so closely connected that I thought that even if I begged and begged, I would inevitably die. It would be better to die with more courage, so as not to be ridiculed after death.

A cowardless bandit.

But what he didn't expect was that he survived. The emperor's magnanimity was really not small. It could be said that he had never killed anyone indiscriminately, and everyone was also appointed.

On this point alone, Changsun Wuji could only sincerely worship him, and he didn't even think about making sarcastic remarks like being too soft-hearted to convince the public.

He hid in the mansion for a while, and was very upset when he saw his depressed sister all day long, so he asked his uncle to recommend him to become an official again as the Chang'an Order...
