At noon, Ling Jing took Wang Xuance and four others to leave Jiulongtan Mountain. In the evening, Ma Sanbao appeared at Jiulongtan Mountain.
After seeing Li Yuanji, he looked suspicious.
"I have met His Highness, King Qi. I wonder if His Highness, King Qi, has summoned me. What are your instructions?"
Ma Sanbao bowed, looking very humble, but his eyes showed no humility, instead they were full of curiosity.
I wonder what Li Yuanji wants to do with him.
As far as he knew, although Li Yuanji did not have as many capable and righteous people as Li Shimin, they were still enough, and it seemed that he was not needed yet.
Li Yuanji asked Ma Sanbao to sit down and let Ma Sanbao pour tea by himself. After tasting the tea for a while, he slowly said, "Sanbao, do what you said before still count?"
Ma Sanbao was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of Li Yuanji's words, "What your Highness is saying is that I have promised to Your Highness that I am willing to die for Your Highness?"
Li Yuanji nodded slightly.
Ma Sanbao said without hesitation: "It's natural. Although I am not a gentleman, I am still a man of seven feet. Every spit is a nail."
Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction and said: "I don't need you to die for me, I just need to borrow your sharp tongue."
Ma Sanbao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Highness is asking me to come forward to lobby someone?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Yes, I just don't know that your sharp tongue is not as powerful as it used to be."
Ma Sanbao rolled his eyes and said: "The former minister was able to convince He Panren, and that was because he followed the trend. He Panren had long wanted to surrender, and he also knew that as a Hu merchant, it was impossible for him to be recognized by the people of the Central Plains, and it was impossible for him to sit in the Central Plains.
It's so big, so I'm interested in finding a wise master.
The minister just helped him analyze the general trend of the world and told him that Duke Tang was the wise master, without saying anything else.

If His Highness wants me to help lobby someone, I can’t guarantee whether it will happen or not.”
Li Yuanji said quietly: "Then what if my sister orders you to help lobby someone?"
Ma Sanbao's eyes were fixed, and he said with a solemn expression: "Even if the lobbying fails, I will try every means to convince him to join my master."
Li Yuanji sighed in his heart, they really are different people and receive different treatment.
"Then you go and try for me first. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my sister for help."
Li Yuanji said angrily.
Ma Sanbao people suddenly became ill.
Don't play like this.
If you insist on me getting things done, just make a big move.
You used a small move and then used a big move to hang over my head. What's going on?
"Your Highness, you might as well just go and beg my master."
Ma Sanbao said helplessly.
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I have to see how much your life is worth first. If it's not worth anything, I won't care if you make any promises to me in the future that you are willing to die for me.
Already."
When Ma Sanbao heard Li Yuanji's words, he knew that he was about to be firmly controlled by Li Yuanji, so he could only appoint him and said: "Your Highness, please give orders."
Li Yuanji narrowed his eyes and said, "I want you to guard the plank road to Shu. When Wang Gui and Du Yan pass by one day, bring them back to see me."
Ma Sanbao froze, shocked, and looked at Li Yuanji in disbelief.
Li Yuanji asked him to guard the Shu Road and wait for Wang Gui and Du Yan, which meant that Wang Gui and Du Yan would follow in Wei Ting's footsteps.
But now, although Wei Ting has been sent away, Wang Gui and Du Yan's positions are still stable.
Wang Guinai was one of Li Jiancheng's closest advisers, and Li Jiancheng would protect him no matter what he said.
And Du Yan has nothing to do with Li Jiancheng. He is from Li Shimin's house. He serves as the Tiance Mansion Bing Cao Shenjun in Li Shimin's house. He is six levels higher than the ordinary Bing Cao Shenjun. He also serves as the bachelor of Xiuwen Hall, although he is not here.
Among the eighteen bachelors, but still considered an important bachelor.
When something goes wrong with Li Jiancheng, what does it have to do with him, a subordinate official in Li Shimin's house?
Why did Li Yuanji predict that Wang Gui and Du Yan would follow in Wei Ting's footsteps?
"Your Highness...does he know some unknown secrets?"
Ma Sanbao's mind was spinning rapidly.
Li Yuanji's words revealed a message to him.
That's what happened in the palace. Not only was Li Jiancheng at fault, but Li Shimin was probably also behind it.
Li Yuanji said meaningfully: "You are also a smart person. You should understand that you can't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Besides, since it is an unknown secret, how can I know it?"
Ma Sanbao felt a little itchy, but Li Yuanji refused to say it, and he couldn't force it.
"Then I'll just pretend that I didn't ask, but neither Wang Gui nor Du Yan can be easily persuaded."
Ma Sanbao bent down and said.
Li Yuanji sighed: "That's your business."
Ma Sanbao smiled dryly and said: "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. When my master asked me to recruit He Panren to surrender, he promised a lot of benefits.
Your Highness can’t give you nothing, can you?”
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Ma Sanbao and said: "Then tell Wang Gui, if he is willing to help me with things, I can help my elder brother. If he is not willing to help me with things, then I can only watch my elder brother.
Being ravaged by my second brother.
Also, what happened to my eldest brother was also the result of their improper planning, and they must bear the main blame."
Ma Sanbao's heart skipped a beat, "His Highness indeed knows some unknown secrets..."
Li Yuanji glared at Ma Sanbao, and Ma Sanbao shut up decisively.
Li Yuanji continued: "Tell Du Yan again that only by following me can he suppress his ambitious nephew, otherwise he will wait for revenge."
Ma Sanbao subconsciously said: "Your Highness is talking about Du Ruhui?"
Li Yuanji nodded slowly.
Du Yan is Du Ruhui's biological uncle, but Du Yan is an egoist and is not friendly to brothers Du Ruhui and Du Chuke.
When Du Ruhui and Du Chuke were still young, the quarrel had reached the point where they had no contact with each other until they died.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Du Yan was an official under Wang Shichong, he even suggested to Wang Shichong to kill his nephew.
This created a deadly feud between uncle and nephew.
However, after Li Shimin conquered Luoyang and captured Du Yan, when he wanted to kill Du Yan, Du Chuke couldn't bear the fratricide and took the initiative to intercede with Du Ruhui and asked Du Ruhui to intercede for Du Yan. Li Shimin let Du Yan go and returned the favor.
Introduce it to Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Museum.
The enmity between Du Yan and Du Chuke disappeared a lot.
But the feud with Du Ruhui has never been resolved.
Both sides may be intent on killing each other.
"The hatred between Du Yan and Du Ruhui is quite deep. Du Ruhui is now highly valued by His Highness the King of Qin. If you make an issue about Du Ruhui, you can convince Du Yan."
Ma Sanbao muttered to himself, analyzing the weight of the chips given by Li Yuanji, "But I'm afraid Wang Gui is not that easy to lobby."
Wang Gui was only in his position and seeking political power, and he did not form a mortal enemy with Li Shimin. After he was sent to Yizhou, whether Li Jiancheng won or Li Shimin won, he might have ups and downs.
There was no need for him to take risks and follow Li Yuanji.
After all, Wang Gui is very capable, and he is not afraid that the new emperor will not use him. He is from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and has a close relationship with the Li family who started his family in Taiyuan, and he is not afraid of being driven out and exterminated.
Li Yuanji hummed and smiled: "Is it easy for me to lobby?"
Ma Sanbao asked in confusion: "What do you mean by your highness?"
Li Yuanji reminded: "Don't forget where my fief is."
Ma Sanbao's eyes lit up and he was happy, "I understand."
Li Yuanji's fiefdom was in Bingzhou, one of the nine states, and Taiyuan was also included in Bingzhou.
When Wang Gui served as Prince Zhongyun under Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji could give him three points of honor.
Once he was deposed by the prince Zhongyun and sent to Sizhou, Li Yuanji no longer had to give him face.
By then we will be able to figure out not only Wang Gui, but also the Wang family from which Wang Gui was born.
Although Li Yuanji's fiefdom is a bit far away from the Wang family's residence, if the private land expands to the Wang family's residence, the officials below will only turn a blind eye.
Even if the trouble comes in front of Li Yuan, Li Yuan will only reprimand him, "We won't allow it next time."
There will be no substantial punishment.
If something unscrupulous happens to the Wang family, and Li Yuanji only needs to add fuel to the flames and arouse people's anger, it will be enough to hurt the Wang family.
If Wang Gui didn't want to be the sinner of the Wang family, he would have no choice but to be manipulated by Li Yuanji.
"It's just that the talents obtained in this way may not be used by His Highness sincerely."
Ma Sanbao smiled and sighed.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Ma Sanbao. If he was as rich as Li Shimin, why would he take such a trick?
Doesn't he know that people who are willing to sincerely prefer him?
"I am talking too much. If your Highness has anything else to give, please tell me."
Ma Sanbao saw the helplessness in Li Yuanji's eyes and asked for instructions again with a dry smile.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ma Sanbao and said: "I only told you one thing, and you made all kinds of conditions with me. If I tell you a few more things, you won't be able to ask me, the King of Qi, too?"
Please leave quickly, my liver hurts just looking at you."
Ma Sanbao grinned, agreed, and walked out.
Li Yuanji shouted at Ma Sanbao's back, "If you fail to do what I told you, I will ask my sister to hang you up and beat you!"
Ma Sanbao stiffened and ran outside without looking back.
Li Yuanji felt a little relieved when he saw Ma Sanbao looking slightly embarrassed.
After Li Yuanji failed to recruit Li Jing, he realized that to recruit these outstanding figures recorded in history, his face and mouth alone were not enough.
So he gave up doing this kind of thing himself and chose to let professionals do it.
Li Jiancheng raised private soldiers with evil intentions. No matter how far the trouble went, as long as he was not dragged into trouble, it would be a good thing for him.
He has been waiting for this incident to break out, not just to watch the show, but to recruit talents and take advantage of every opportunity.
In this turmoil, a lot of talented people were dismissed and reassigned.
The most famous among them are Du Yan, Wang Gui and Wei Ting.
Li Yuanji had no interest in Wei Ting, but he had to keep Wang Gui and Du Yan in his pocket.
Although Du Yan's character has some problems, he is a good candidate for the Minister of Etiquette of Daxingtai, Hebei Province.
Of course, Wang Gui didn't need to say much. He could work with Ma Zhou and Ling Jing to form a small think tank to help him deal with all the troubles.
