"Nope." Mo Zhinian decisively denied it, "The prince is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he can't do anything to unload the mill and kill the donkey." ”

"Then what is Mo Lao worried about?"

Mo Zhinian sighed lightly: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." ”

Ma Shiying was stunned for a long time before sighing: "So, Mo Lao is for self-preservation? ”

Mo Zhinian smiled bitterly: "Although the prince is young, he has a city that ordinary young people can't reach...... But people are not sages, who can truly be selfless in their hearts? The old man is just a layman, he can not be for himself, but he must find a future for future generations. ”

Ma Shiying said: "According to what Mo Lao said, it should be self-cultivation and clumsiness." Why do you want to go the other way? ”

Mo looked at Ma Shiying strangely, "Brother Ma does you know that under the jurisdiction of the Great General's Mansion, how much money passes through the hands of the old decay every day?" Brother Ma is also a person who has been the head of the Hongguang Dynasty, don't you understand the word "love stack"? ”

Ma Shiying closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and then said with his jaw bowed: "Understood." ”

"Although Brother Ma can rest assured, his loyalty to the prince is not inferior to Brother Ma...... What the old man wants is the future, maybe the old man can't see it, but the old man wants to ensure that the descendants of the Mo family can see it. ”

Ma Shiying sighed lightly and said, "But how can it ...... Forcing the prince to comply? ”

Mo Zhinian smiled and said: "Brother Ma's words are inappropriate, how can the subordinates force the lord to comply?" It should be guided by the trend to become the way of the minister. ”

Ma Shiying nodded and said, "Mo Lao refers to the positive pole!" ”

"Brother Ma, you and I are both loyal to the prince, so to speak, the life of the prince is all on the prince. Therefore, you and I should be like-minded people...... Although this move is somewhat contrary to the way of being a minister, it is reasonable to protect oneself. Brother Ma rest assured, in the future, Brother Ma will enter the court, and the Mo family is willing to help! ”

Ma Shiying smiled and said: "Thank you Mo Lao, one day, the prince will board the big treasure, facing the south and turning his back to the north, but the Mo family has something to do, and he can be the prince!" ”

Don't be obsessed with pouring two more glasses of wine, raising his glass and saying, "A gentleman's covenant." ”

"A Gentleman's Covenant!"

The two drank the wine in their glasses, looked at each other and laughed.

Putting down the empty cup in his hand, Ma Shiying's smile gradually faded, and he sighed lightly: "What a good opportunity for the prince to enter Beijing this time?" However, the prince resolutely refused to obey and emptied the will of heaven...... It's a pity. ”

Mo Zhinian looked at Ma Shiying with a strange face and said, "With Brother Ma's talent, don't you really understand the mind of the prince?" ”

Ma Shiying shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't understand it, but it's difficult to understand." This time, the time, the place, the people, all three...... The cow doesn't drink water and pushes its head, but what?! ”

Mo obsessed with a mysterious smile, "Brother Ma thinks that the prince is unintentional?" ”

Ma Shiying smiled bitterly: "In Ma's opinion, the prince is more like the most loyal courtier of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Nope." Mo Zhinian shook his head and said, "If you don't want to, you can't." ”

"What do you mean?" Ma Shiying was surprised, "In front of the Fengtian Palace that day, the civil and military ministers stood up, a once-in-a-lifetime occasion." ”

Mo Zhinian shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about how many adults among the civil and military officials are really supportive, let's talk about the situation." The surname of the world is Zhu, the surname of the prince is Wu, and the Yixing Dynasty occupies more than ten mansions in the south of the Yangtze River, but Brother Ma should know that there are more than 100,000 people in the Jiangnan clan, which is like the northern and northwest rebels. At this time, if the prince ascends the throne, not to mention that the general's mansion will be involved in the imperial court, there will be endless troubles. ”

"Ma doesn't understand." Ma Shiying shook his head and said, "There are more than 20 million bad debts, and it is inevitable that it will be involved, but after all, the land and population of more than ten prefectures are in hand, and the silver can still be earned back after all." Although there are not many people who really support the civil and military affairs, they can use the means of the prince, the fast is one year, and the slow is two or three years, and the whole replacement is not difficult, and the talents of the three universities in Hangzhou are all in the hands of the prince...... Mo Lao's reason can't convince people. ”

Mo Zhinian smiled, "There are more than 100,000 people in the Jiangnan clan, and each family has dozens of children, and there are more than ten children, and these people have their own in-laws, and their in-laws have their own in-laws...... Each family had subordinates, slaves, and tenant farmers, ranging from more than 100 to 1,000. Brother Ma, the branches are wrong and difficult to clarify. Moreover, although the king of Danyang was deposed, the emperor is still surnamed Zhu, and the world is still the world of the Zhu family, and there may be reluctant people in the clan, but under the world of the Zhu family, he can be regarded as unwilling. But if the prince ascends the throne, think about it, can these clans not jump up? ”

"Then kill!" Ma Shiying's face became gloomy, "To seize the throne, you have to die with blood, Taizu created the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, didn't he also carry a blood-dripping steel knife and ride a horse into the palace?" ”

Mo Zhinian's face became strange, and he looked at Ma Shiying and smiled: "You let the prince kill all the Jiangnan clan?" Brother Ma, although I don't understand why you are pretending to be puzzled, I can solve your doubts...... Once the knife is swung down, it cannot be slaughtered until it is slaughtered. But even if it is slaughtered, who can guarantee that the whole world will respect the prince? You know, Yongli is still in the south, I heard that it has reached an alliance with the remnants of the Great Western Army, such a situation, the Yongli Dynasty monarchs and ministers can respect the prince...... Isn't it a joke? But in this way, the Han people in Jiangnan have to fight first, if the northern Tartars take the opportunity to go down...... The consequences speak for themselves. ”

Ma Shiying's smile also became strange, "Mo Lao is reasonable, Ma is indeed pretending to be stupid, but Ma has only one intention...... It is harmless to Mo Lao. ”

"The old man listens to it, and I am willing to hear it in detail."

"Before speaking, please ask Mo Lao to answer Ma's question first."

"Please."

"Although the new monarch is a woman, he is at a good age, and the king of Danyang is still there, the king of Hangzhou Mansion Lu is also there, and there are more than 100,000 people in the Jiangnan clan.

Mo Zhinian hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and replied: "The prince once said that Zhou Gong vomited and fed, so that the world can return to his heart." But although the old man felt reasonable, he also had doubts in his heart. At this time, it is not a prosperous inheritance, but a chaotic era for the position, the times are different, how can they talk about the same day? ”

Ma agreed with what Mo Lao said. Ma Shiying laughed, "Does Mo Lao have a good way?" ”

Mo Zhinian shook his head slightly, "No." You can't have both fish and bear's paws, the prince will take the world, he will be scolded as a thief, and if he doesn't take the world, he will also be scolded for usurping power, this matter is in a dilemma. Unless....... ”

"Unless what?" Ma Shiying asked.

Mo Zhi hesitated and said: "Unless the new monarch is in the Zen position...... This is impossible, how could the Zhu family give up the country to others? ”

"Why not?" Ma Shiying smiled strangely.

Don't be stunned, "What is Brother Ma's plan?" ”

"The new monarch seized the throne from his brother, and the Jiangnan clan was intimidated by the prince's troops, and they dared not speak out. Of course, the new monarch's surname is Zhu, which is the reason why they didn't launch. ”
