On the second day after Jia Qi returned, Ma Changqing came to his door. However, this time was different from the past. He knew that Jia Qi was the youngest marquis in the dynasty and was still the champion, so he was careful when he came to the door.
But when he saw Jia Qi in person, he was shocked. Jia Qi was really too young. At first, he thought Jia Qi must be in his twenties. He never expected that Jia Qi would be so young. , No, I should say young.
"Ma Changqing has met Mr. Hou~"
Jia Qi looked at the young man in front of him and asked, "What do you want to do with me?"
There was a hint of flattery on Ma Changqing's face, "It's okay. I heard that Lord Marquis is a descendant of Ning Guogong. My ancestor happened to be the ruler of the country, Ma Kui. Counting together, we are all in the same family!"
Jia Qi was a little disgusted by this person's flattery. He had never met the other person before, but he started to talk about getting married as soon as they met, so he didn't want to continue chatting with the other person. He said bluntly: "If you have something to say, just say it. !”
Ma Changqing seemed to have heard Jia Qi's impatience, and smiled awkwardly, "Master Hou! Youdao means having one more friend and one more path! A few days ago, my ancestor wrote a letter saying, let me tell you something~"
Jia Qi didn't speak, just looked at each other quietly. Ma Changqing was a little frightened by Jia Qi's gaze. Even when he was with his grandfather Ma Changlong, he had never felt such pressure, and he was suddenly shocked.
"My grandfather told me some inside stories about the Marquis's appointment and war through secret letters. We are both from noble backgrounds. My grandfather didn't want the Marquis to continue to be kept in the dark, so he told me to meet the Marquis and explain it in detail. This is the truth, lest the Marquis take the wrong path again in the future~"
Jia Qi remained calm and looked at the other party quietly. He had long sensed that something was wrong. At first he didn't bother to get involved with those people, but then he always believed in a principle. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. If I can completely control the nine sides, what use will those people do if they keep jumping around?
When Ma Changqing saw that Jia Qi still didn't speak, he continued: "The thing is like this. Now we are both prosperous and prosperous. The Supreme Emperor is still here. Many officials in the court still remember his kindness and support the Supreme Emperor." Old man! But now the emperor is in charge of Dakang. As a result, different voices will appear in the court. People of our noble lineage have always been attached to the Supreme Emperor and his old man. This has also become a problem in the court. Everyone knows this very well!"
"As for the matter of conferring a title on a marquis this time, the emperor actually wanted to give you a title of Duke, but because Fan Yuan and Fan Gelao blocked it, he downgraded it to a lower level and granted you the title of a marquis. Title!"
"This Fan Yuan and Fan Ge were originally from the Supreme Emperor, but this time they did not consult with our nobles and made decisions without authorization. As a result, the Duke who was supposed to be the Marquis was not implemented, and later he made a decision with a group of people. All the literati criticized the Marquis for not sparing any room in his work, arousing the bloodshed of the alien races from all over the world, and disrupting our well-being. The emperor was forced to issue that imperial edict this time!"
Hearing this, Jia Qi couldn't help but be stunned. Is the guy in front of him stupid? Isn't Xungui the most powerful supporter of Emperor Taikang's lineage? Fan Yuanhe is a member of Emperor Taikang, is he going to turn the blade inwards? ?
Suddenly, a thought came to Jia Qi's mind. Ma Changqing said at first that he came to meet him after receiving a secret letter from his grandfather. Then these words should not have been said by Ma Changqing, but by his grandfather. Originally, Xungui Yimai is the most solid supporter of Emperor Taikang, but regarding him, Fan Yuanhe didn't even say hello to Xungui Yimai, so it's a bit interesting to say that.
Put yourself in his shoes, why would Fan Yuanhe do this? He worked for Emperor Taikang, so why did he stop Emperor Mingkang from giving him favor? The reason is simply to create a gap between himself and Emperor Mingkang. In the end, the credit that was enough to make him a prince was only given to a marquis. It would always feel uncomfortable for another person. However, Emperor Mingkang found another way and made himself a champion. Although I don’t know what this title means to Dakang, but for the entire history of China, it is definitely a supreme honor.
There were only a few such marquises in the entire history, and the one that impressed him most was Huo Qubing during the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This man was a man who had been enshrined as a wolf and lived in Xu, and his reputation would be passed down through the ages.
Therefore, this title should be a very noble title, and Emperor Mingkang did not fall behind in this award.
Next, Ma Changqing did not cover up for Fan Yuanhe. Instead, he revealed the other party's identity and the subsequent matters. It seemed to express the dissatisfaction of the Xungui family towards Fan Yuanhe and their dissatisfaction with Fan Yuanhe. Emperor Taikang's dissatisfaction is interesting since then.
What on earth do these people of the Xungui lineage want to do? No longer intend to rely on Emperor Taikang? But Emperor Mingkang didn't like them either. Although it was a bit unbelievable, after excluding other possibilities, there was only one truth. The Xungui lineage planned to stand on its own.
As soon as this idea came out, Jia Qi couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know whether it was Ma Changqing's grandfather's own idea or the intention of the entire Xungui Group.
Do they think the two emperors are fools? He dared to bet that as long as the Xungui Group showed a little bit of interest, it would definitely be dealt with by Emperor Taikang and Emperor Mingkang.
Unless they can truly control a town's soldiers and horses like themselves, and say the same thing, when the imperial power comes, they will be instantly turned into rebels and crushed into powder by the general trend.
Now that he knew the other party's intentions, he didn't want to talk any more. It wasn't that the matter was not good, but that they were not qualified to negotiate with him. He waved his hand and signaled the other party to shut up, "Okay, I have other things to be busy with. I don’t want to get involved in matters in the court~"
When Ma Changqing heard this, he was stunned. He had laid so much groundwork before. Why? It’s time to talk about the most important thing, but the other party won’t listen. Isn’t this another joke?
Just when he was about to say more, Jia Qi raised his head and glanced over coldly, which made him hesitate.
How could such a playboy like Jia Qi be able to stop Jia Qi's aura? After much hesitation, Ma Changqing still didn't dare to say those words. Only then did he finally know what the word "glare eyes" meant.
But what should he do if he failed to do what his grandfather asked him to do? Looking at the mansion behind him, Ma Changqing's eyes began to twinkle. He really didn't have the courage to go there again. Facing Jia Qi was much more stressful than meeting Guo Yingjing.
Then he left with a dark face. When he came back, he drank two bowls of wine and calmed down. He was angry again for his cowardice before.
Why should I be afraid of someone who is obviously smaller than me? And behaved so badly.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally he slapped the table, "Since you don't give me face, I will let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has!!"
He simply stopped thinking about talking to Jia Qi and planned to directly reply to Ma Changlong that the other party disagreed. He didn't believe that a young boy could fight against their entire Xungui Group~
Then he immediately wrote a letter, sneering as he wrote back. He wanted the other party to repay today's humiliation in full.
