The army rested in Jicheng for three days, and the soldiers dispersed.

The civil and military officials in Jicheng were also preparing to return to Chang'an by boat.

Due to too many officials, it took two days to prepare for the boat.

Li Yuanai, Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin and Li Zhi boarded the same ship.

Li Yuanai was bored in the cabin, thinking that his brother was too inhumane.

In the eyes of others, it was an honor to sail south with Li Shimin, but it was a torture for Li Yuanai at this moment.

What should I do with a chubby guy? It would be better to go with Kim Seung-man and accompany the beauty to talk about his great achievements in repairing the canal.

“Meow…”

The tiger screamed miserably, indicating that he was hungry.

I don’t know if it’s because of the tiger’s milk or the lynx growing fast.

From the time when the sword fights to come to this little guy, he has grown four pounds in more than a month.

A large body of silver and gray hair mixed with gray hair became more and more majestic, and it looked like a three-point tiger. Especially the tips of the two upright ears were long dark hairs growing, which looked like the feathers on the helmet of the general in the play, adding a bit of majestic momentum to it.

"On this boat, there is no tiger milk for you. If you give your father ten courage, your father dare not go to pick up tiger**. Just eat some meat."

He said as he equipped it with a large bowl of pheasant meat.

The big tiger screamed in grievance, but still couldn't stand being hungry, so he went to eat happily.

Seeing the big tiger eating with relish, Li Yuanai also smiled.

At this moment, the boat suddenly heard it.

Li Yuanai was shaking under inertia and walked out of the cabin curiously.

When he saw Li Shimin, Li Zhi looked anxious. Before he could ask, Li Shimin had already walked past him.

Li Zhi whispered: "Ma Zhongshu is sick."

Li Yuanai's face changed slightly. Ma Zhongshu, only Ma Zhou was there.

Ma Zhou is not a simple figure, it is the pillar of the temple.

When it comes to the ability to govern the world and the talent of Ma Zhou, compared with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng was only better than that.

Taizu of this dynasty highly praised it, and his "Chen Shizheng Commentary" was praised as the first strange article after Jia Sheng's "Public Security Policy".

It is said that Wei Zheng is good at admonishing, but he is much inferior to Ma Zhou.

Wei Zheng's advice was to say anything about everything, as long as he couldn't stand it, he would say it.

Even in his spare time, Wei Zheng would not allow him to play with a bird.

However, Ma Zhou's advice is related to people's livelihood everywhere and to the country everywhere.

Therefore, Li Shimin loved and hated Wei Zheng, but was very fond of Ma Zhou and obeyed his words.

Therefore, Li Shimin commented on Ma Zhou in "The Essay on the Advocacy of Zhengzheng in Zhenguan": "Zhou saw things quickly and was very cautious in nature. As for the people, in terms of straightforwardness, I have more than sent people to him and I have been more willing to say that I am willing. I have written loyalty and attached myself to me, and I have used this person to help the current affairs together."

Judging from Li Shimin's expression, Ma Zhou was afraid that he was very ill.

Following Li Shimin and behind Li Zhi, he came to the edge of the deck.

A boat approached slowly across the street, but because the boat was too big, the two boats could not get close.

Li Shimin wanted to cross from here, gestured for a while, but the distance was still too far, and said, "Hurry, take the wooden board."

Most ships have spare wooden boards for repair, but in a short while, the wooden boards were mounted between the two ships.

The boat was docked on the river surface and was shaking, but Li Shimin didn't care about so many things and jumped to the opposite boat in three steps.

Li Zhi was not as quick as Li Shimin, but he also passed by slowly.

Li Yuan Ai has a very good personality and is not cowardly at all, so he just passed by.

The two followed them into Ma Zhou's cabin, which was filled with the smell of medicine.

Li Shimin asked about the situation of Xiang’s accompanying imperial physician Ma Zhou.

The imperial doctor sighed: "Ma Shizhong was suffering from diabetes. I am afraid that there will be no more time to go through this fatigue."

Li Yuanai was not good at medical skills and did not know what diabetes was. However, looking at Ma Zhou lying on the bed, his face was thin and bloodless, he sighed regretfully.

Li Shimin sat on the bed with a look of grief on his face.

Li Zhi's tears fell again and said, "Ma Shizhong is the most dedicated. After his father's expedition, Ma Shizhong was the child's most capable arm. Not only did he assist his son in handling national affairs, he personally taught the art of governing the country, but he also handled the many complicated affairs of his subordinates every day. Over the past year, he has not relaxed for a day. The son is sympathetic to his hard work and ordered him to rest many times. But even at home, he will not forget the state affairs."

Li Shimin sighed: "The phoenix is ​​soaring, and it must be worthy of its wings. The trust of the loyalty and kindness is the loyalty."

Ma Zhou's illness reduced the joy of returning to the city by half.

Li Shimin and Li Zhi lived in the ship where the prime minister was arranged to live. Li Shimin personally brought medicine to Ma Zhou, and Li Zhi took care of him. While using ginseng to hang Ma Zhou's life, they ordered the boat to leave the large army and accelerate their advance, and must arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible. At the same time, they also arranged for people to go to Taibai Mountain to ask the Medicine King Sun Simiao to go down the mountain to Luoyang to treat Ma Zhou's illness...

Unfortunately, Ma Zhou did not wait for Sun Simiao after all, and even Luoyang died of illness with the southern section of Yongjiqu in order to arrive.

Li Yuanai did not have much contact with Ma Zhou, that is, after he gave the order to give the fortune, he had several months of exchanges in Jicheng.

In just a few months of unintentional contact, Li Yuanai could feel Ma Zhou's seriousness and responsibility towards things. When conducting government affairs with him, he would do everything properly. He would think of everything you thought of and unexpectedly, he would think of it for you.

Li Yuanai couldn't feel how powerful Ma Zhou was, but when he was interacting with him, he had a deep understanding of the comfort.

Such a person died of illness at the age of 46.

"well!"

Li Yuanai sighed on the deck.

A sentence came from behind: "Did Your Highness sigh for the servant?"

Li Yuanai looked back and saw that the person was Liu Wei, the minister whom Li Zhi was particularly begging. He nodded friendly and said, "Ma Shizhong was in a state of integrity but died young, so how can it not be sad?"

"Yes!" Liu Shi said: "I have been admiring Ma Shizhong for a long time. Although he is an official in the same court, he is not easy to make friends and love himself. He has never had the opportunity to go deep into the relationship. Only during this eastern expedition did the city have the honor of working with Ma Shizhong and assisting His Highness the Crown Prince. The interaction with Ma Shizhong makes people feel like the spring breeze, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Zhongjun, Jia Yi. I also heard that he suddenly woke up before his death and ordered someone to send his son to his family, burn all the memorials and manuscripts at home, and let His Majesty burn the memorials and counselors in the treasury."

"What the world seeks is to pursue fame and fortune, just to keep a fame in life and after life, but Ma Shizhong did not seek fame and fortune, and burned all his achievements. I... would be better!"

Liu Wei's eyes showed admiration for Ma Zhou. The more he could not do, the more he admired him.

Li Yuanai said silently, and he couldn't even ask himself.
