Chapter 262 Death of Ma Zhou (1)

"How is Ma Zhou?" After Li Chengqian left the Liangyi Hall, Wang Yuan, who was guarding outside, walked in. Li Er immediately asked about Ma Zhou's condition.

Ma Zhou suddenly fell ill this time, and the disease was severe. This was because Ma Zhou was old and had been busy with state affairs.

"Replying to everyone, there is news over there that the condition of Zhongshu Ling Ma Zhou has worsened. Medicine is no longer effective. Everything can only be left to fate!" Wang Yuan said.

Ma Zhou's condition was already not optimistic. This was mainly because there were many hidden dangers hidden in his body, and this time they all broke out at once.

If Ma Zhou couldn't make it, he would have no choice but to die. There was absolutely no chance of survival.

"No matter what, this medicine cannot be stopped. It can still save his life. Not taking the medicine will really kill him."

"I have decided to prepare medicine for Ma Zhou myself. I hope he can recover soon." Li Er said.

Wang Yuan was shocked by Li Er's words. You don't even know how to treat a disease. Can the medicine you prepare be taken?

Wang Yuan didn't dare to ask, so he could only say: "What virtue and ability does Ma Zhou have to let Your Majesty go to so much trouble to prepare medicine for him personally? Your Majesty is the emperor of ten thousand chariots, so why do you need to do it yourself? Let the imperial physician prepare the medicine!" Wang

Yuan hoped that Li Er would stop, otherwise Ma Zhou would not die of illness, but would die directly because of the medicine you prepared. Ma Zhou would die unjustly.

Li Er seemed to not understand what Wang Yuan meant, and said: "Ma Zhou is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. Why can't I prepare medicine for him personally!"

"I am worried that Ma Zhou can't bear it!" Wang Yuan said, sighing in his heart: I have done my best as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, you just leave it to fate! "

Go and ask someone to get the medicine from the imperial physician. I want to prepare medicine for Ma Zhou. By the way, let the Prince of Jin go to Ma Zhou's house to inquire about Ma Zhou's condition." Li Er ordered.

"Yes!" Wang Yuan took the order and sent a eunuch to get the medicine from the Imperial Medical Bureau. He also went to the Prince of Jin's house and asked the Prince of Jin to wait at Ma Zhou's house and report Ma Zhou's condition at any time.

The herbs were quickly retrieved, and Li Er prepared the medicine directly. However, Li Er was not sure where he got the confidence that the medicine he prepared could cure Ma Zhou.

Wasn't Li Er afraid that Ma Zhou would die after taking the medicine he prepared? Ma Zhou didn't die from the pain, but died in Li Er's hands.

It was simply a fantasy to say that Li Er would kill Ma Zhou.

"Prince Jin sent back a message that Ma Zhou's condition was not optimistic, and there was no improvement after taking several doses of medicine." Wang Yuan said.

Li Zhi would send someone back every hour to report Ma Zhou's condition, and Li Zhi would stay at Ma Zhou's house, and all his food, clothing, housing and transportation were solved at Ma Zhou's house.

"Send this prepared medicine to Ma Zhou's house and let him take it to see how it works. This is what I prepared based on classical medical books, so it should be effective." Li Er pointed to the medicine he had just prepared and said.

He wiped his hands. Whether Ma Zhou could survive was up to fate! He had done everything he could!

"Yes!" Wang Yuan took the order and took the medicine prepared by Li Er. He asked someone to send it to Ma Zhou's house immediately and let Ma Zhou take it.

The eunuch sent the medicine to Ma Zhou's house and watched it personally. Under the personal service of Jin Wang Li Zhi, Ma Zhou drank the medicine prepared by Li Er.

After waiting for half an hour, Ma Zhou's condition actually improved, which made everyone very happy!

But who knew that just when they were happy, Ma Zhou's eyes suddenly bulged out, and then he vomited blood, his eyes went black, and he fainted.

Everyone was in a panic, and finally woke Ma Zhou up. He was still recovering, but in the blink of an eye, he was dying.

"Grandmaster!" Li Zhi looked at Ma Zhou who had woken up, held his hand and cried.

Ma Zhou was not only the chief historian of his former Prince Jin's Palace, but also the Grandmaster of the Prince Jin.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. Birth, aging, illness and death are common to all people. I am now an old minister with no energy left and will not live long!" Ma Zhou said with a weak breath. "

No, Grandmaster will definitely get better. Let me go and ask my father to announce to the world and ask the miracle doctor to save Grandmaster." Li Zhi said crying.

Ma Zhou is the mainstay of the Jin king's power. If anything happens to him, how can he have a say in the court in the future?

Therefore, Ma Zhou must be saved no matter what. Unfortunately! This time Ma Zhou is really dying. Even if a god comes, he can't save him.

"Your Majesty! I hope you can do your best to assist the prince in the future. It is an irreversible fact that the prince will become the emperor."

"If your Majesty is willing to listen to my advice, you will definitely have a good end in the future, otherwise you will be killed!" Ma Zhou finally advised Li Zhi.

Ma Zhou has always been opposed to Li Zhi's desire to seize power.

Li Chengqian is no longer the same as he was before. His position as the crown prince is now secure and he is fully fledged. How can Li Zhi, a weak prince without any foundation, be compared to him?

Even at that time, the powerful Prince Pu Li Tai could not dethrone the fledgling crown prince.

Moreover, Li Zhi, who is now much less powerful than Li Tai, can only fight against a rock with an egg and seek his own death.

Li Zhi remained silent after hearing this. He had never thought of competing with Li Chengqian, but he could not resist the persuasion around him and gradually had this idea.

"Bring me the draft of the matters I want to report." Ma Zhou saw that Li Zhi did not speak, and did not force him. Some things can only be figured out by himself.

"Master, you are in this state now, what's the use of those things?" The housekeeper said with a distressed look on his face. At this critical moment, why is his master still thinking about the important affairs of the court.

"I told you to get it, so you go and get it. What nonsense are you talking about? My words are useless before I die?" Ma Zhou said.

"I dare not disobey the order of the master, I will get it now." The housekeeper said, turned around and left. A moment later, the housekeeper came back with the things Ma Zhou wanted.

"Build a brazier for me! Quick!" Ma Zhou ordered again.

The housekeeper hurriedly asked someone to build a brazier in front of Ma Zhou. The flames in the brazier jumped. Ma Zhou sat up with the help of Li Zhi, and then threw all the drafts he wanted into the brazier and burned them.

"Why does the master want to burn these?" Li Zhi asked in confusion. He really didn't understand Ma Zhou's behavior.

After hearing this, Ma Zhou sighed and said, "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Guan Zhong and Yan Ying exposed the faults of their monarchs just to seek fame after their death. I, Ma Zhou, will never be like them."

After saying this, Ma Zhou threw everything in his hands into the brazier, then lay down contentedly and closed his eyes.

After this, Ma Zhou never woke up again.
