Chapter 1318 Reversal (seeking a monthly ticket)
"Ma Xiang, isn't this going to kill me?" Longkodo hurriedly stopped Ma Qi.
Although Longkodo's status is valuable, Mazi is not bad either. Moreover, Mazi's qualifications in the court are much older than Longkodo. You should know that Mazi worked with Longkodo's father back then. From this perspective, Mazi can be said to be Longkodo's uncle.
Such an old minister actually wanted to kneel down to Longkodo and beg him. How could Longkodo bear it? Once this matter is spread, it would be strange if Longkodo doesn't scold him to death.
"Mr. Long... I cannot perish the Qing Dynasty! I cannot perish!" Ma Qi said earnestly in tears.
"Ma Xiang, get up, sit first. If you have any questions, let's discuss it carefully. Isn't it okay?" Longkodo had no choice but to persuade him with these words, and then pressed Ma Qi back to his seat.
After Ma Qi sat down, Longkodo breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded politely: "Ma Xiang, I know your mood. Actually, I think so too. The Qing Dynasty was the Qing Dynasty conquered by our ancestors. It must not be destroyed by our hands. But Ma Xiang, you and I can't make the decision now. How can I have a way with you?"
"Mr. Long, I just want you to persuade the two princes. You have different identities. Maybe you will persuade the two princes for your sake..."
"Ma Xiang, you are not really confused, are you?" Longkodo was so amused and crying when he heard this, and shook his head and said, "The two princes and the current one are still brothers, especially Prince Cheng, who are brothers. Even their brothers are turning against each other. How can I, my nominal uncle, persuade me?"
"I led my troops to fight with the two princes before, and the two princes didn't give me any face. You, Ma Xiang, knowing what happened afterwards, did not treat me as an uncle either. If I hadn't noticed that I ran fast in time, I might have been encircled in Lanzhou now. What would be like in the future? I think you can guess it."
"This...this..." Ma Qi didn't know what to say for a moment.
What Longkodo said is true. Now it’s a fight between gods and immortals. What role can these people play? At best, they just barely protect themselves.
It is harder to convince Prince Guo and Prince Cheng as an intermediary than to climb the sky, just like Ma Qi is no different from persuading Yongzheng?
Can Ma Qi convince Yongzheng? It is obviously impossible, so Longkodo cannot do it either.
For a moment, Ma Qi was confused and didn't know what to do.
This is not possible, nor that is not possible. Can you watch the Qing Dynasty continue like this?
"No! Absolutely no!"
Ma Qi suddenly said to himself that the Qing Dynasty must not perish like this. No matter what, the Qing Dynasty must continue. Even Zhang Tingyu, a Han minister, can prove his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty by using a deadly advice, let alone Ma Qi, who is a Manchu?
Thinking of this, Ma Qi clenched his fists, and he secretly decided to let the Qing Dynasty end the internal friction no matter what he did.
When Mazi's expression gradually changed, Longkodo, who was beside him, could see clearly. Longkodo felt secretly nervous when he saw this. Could it be that Mazi wanted to take the risk and do something wrong? Once this honest man got stuck, he really couldn't explain clearly. Longkodo had to be careful.
"Ma Xiang! Ma Xiang!" At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside, and Longkodo's face suddenly sank. Who was screaming outside?
"Sir, Ma Xiang." In a flash, Longkodo's subordinates quickly stepped in, saluted the two of them and said, "Ma Xiang's entourage has something to do to find Ma Xiang. He is about to break in and is stopped by us. I don't know how to do it."
"Ah...!" Mazzie was stunned. His entourage was about to break in? What's the situation?
Longkodo glanced at his subordinates coldly, then looked at Ma Qi again, and his expression calmed down after a little thought.
"Since it's Ma Xiang's entourage, I'm afraid there's something urgent? So let him in."
"Yeah!"
The subordinate responded and quickly brought a person in. The man was the guy who was shouting outside just now. His face looked familiar. He was indeed one of Ma Qi's entourage.
"Master Long, Ma Xiang, and I have a greeting to you."
After entering the door, the entourage greeted Qian'er in a hurry. Ma Qi asked directly: "Why did you suddenly find this? Why are you in a hurry?"
The follower hesitated and looked at Longkodo. Mazzie was displeased and said, "Lord Long is not an outsider, just say something."
"Yes!" the follower replied: "If you return to Ma Xiang, the emperor will send a letter to Ma Xiang, so the servant is anxious to find you."
"The Emperor's Letter?" Mazzi was stunned, even Longkodo next to him was stunned.
What is this situation? Why did Yongzheng suddenly write to Ma Qi? Besides, Ma Qi is now the envoy to negotiate with Prince Guo and Prince Cheng. As the emperor, Yongzheng did not issue an order to Ma Qi and instead sent a letter? What's the operation?
For a moment, neither of them understood the situation, but Ma Qi was the person involved after all. He hesitated and asked where the letter was. When the follower told Ma Qixin that he had brought it, Ma Qi directly asked him to pass the letter, and then opened it on the spot and read it.
The letter was indeed written by Yongzheng, and Ma Qi could see the handwriting clearly, which was Yongzheng's handwriting.
If this is the case, there is also the Emperor's treasure of Yongzheng in the letter. Logically, this thing should be covered on the imperial edict, but it was covered on a letter, which was very surprising.
However, when Ma Qi read the contents of the letter, he was stunned, then he was happy. Then he saw Ma Qi read the entire letter in a few glances, and then read it carefully again, then he showed a long-lasting smile.
"Okay! OK!" Ma Qi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the emperor had such a demeanor. He deserved to be the Lord of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Ma Xiang, this..." Longkodo asked in surprise with a 7-point curiosity.
Ma Qi smiled and handed the letter directly over to Longkodo for himself to read it. At the same time, he stroked his beard and said, "In this way, the previous concerns no longer exist. I didn't expect that the emperor would agree to this matter. There is no need to think about anything at present. It's better to report this good news to the two princes quickly so that they can know."
Longkodo took the letter and looked at it for a while. He was shocked and happy at the same time.
As Ma Qi said, this letter was indeed good news, because in the letter, Yongzheng clearly told Ma Qi that he agreed to the Eight Kings' discussions on politics, and asked Ma Qi to convey the news to Prince Guo and Prince Cheng, and invited the two princes to come to Lanzhou to discuss the country's affairs.
Longkodo was extremely surprised in this result. He never thought that Yongzheng would agree. But if this was true, it would be a good thing. As long as the two sides reached an agreement, the internal friction of the Qing Dynasty would no longer exist.
