"Your Majesty still believes in the clan?" Ma Shiying really couldn't figure it out, "Doesn't Your Majesty understand the truth of raising tigers?" ”

"Who is the tiger? What is Suffering? Huang Daozhou asked quickly.

Ma Shiying was stunned, "The natural clan is a tiger, and another coup d'état is a disaster." ”

"Ridiculous!" Huang Daozhou reprimanded slightly, "How ridiculous it is for you to try out the mind of a saint with the heart of a courtier! ”

Ma Shiying choked, was silent for a while, and said, "There is always someone who can see the emperor...... His Royal Highness King Wu is trapped in Jiangbei, Lord Huang must not stand idly by, right? ”

This is not wrong, after all, the emperor is a person, not a god, to control the court, you must contact the outside world, although there is a big court meeting every five days, but the state affairs are complicated, it is difficult to ensure that there are no emergencies to deal with in these five days, and it is almost impossible to really see foreign ministers in four days.

Huang Daozhou nodded and said, "Naturally, there are, but these two people ...... Hmph, I don't think I will help His Royal Highness King Wu, let alone Lord Ma. ”

"Lord Huang just said, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen...... It is better for a dead horse to be a live horse doctor than to wait for two more days. ”

Huang Daozhou sighed lightly and said: "King Qin, Zong Zhengqing, Zhu Cunpu, and one more person, the commander of the right battalion and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhang Tongchang. King Qin was blessed by misfortune and took over the post of Zhu Cixuan Zongzhengqing with little resistance, while Lord Zhang ...... Hehe, because of the previous bloodbath, he won the favor of His Majesty, and it can be regarded as a heavy vote. ”

Ma Shiying was stunned when he heard this.

"If Lord Huang said that Zhu Cuncao, the king of Qin, would not help the prince, this makes sense, after all, the clan relatives hate the prince like bones...... But Zhang Tong is an open man, who has always been persuaded by the ancestral teachings of persisting in the field of Hoge and serving the battlefield, and his words and deeds are loyal and righteous people! ”

Huang Daozhou shook his head slightly gloomily, he looked at Ma Shiying and said, "Lord Zhang is a loyal and righteous person, this can't be fake...... Lord Ma, but in this matter, often loyal ministers will not help you. ”

Ma Shiying was stunned, looked at Huang Daozhou for a long time, and suddenly came back to his senses, yes, since he is a loyal minister, he must be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but there are strong enemies outside and powerful ministers inside, how can he be loyal? How to be loyal? Loyal to whom?

"Thank you, Lord Huang, for reminding me." Ma Shiying got up and arched his hand, "But no matter what, this matter can't be delayed any longer, and we must face the saint immediately...... I'm going to find Master Zhang, even if I'm being ridiculed, Ma will just spit on himself. ”

Huang Daozhou looked at Ma Shiying with some surprise, is this still the traitorous and corrupt official Ma Yaocao who was scolded by everyone and looked like a rat crossing the street?

"Master Ma and slow down...... In this case, Huang might as well look at the old face and accompany you this time. Huang Dao Zhou took a breath and made up his mind, "It's a big deal that this Shoufu is gone, and you can go with you to see King Wu." ”

Ma Shiying was stunned at first, and then laughed and said, "Brother Huang, you finally figured it out." ”

Huang Daozhou's face turned slightly red, and he shook his head self-deprecatingly: "I have already figured it out, but ...... After all, he has been a minister for most of his life. ”

"That's not right." Ma Shiying corrected, "Even if there is a day when the prince ascends to the throne, Ming is still Ming, at most not Zhu Ming." ”

Huang Daozhou laughed and said, "It's not Zhu Ming's Ming, isn't it still Ming?" ”

"How not?!" Ma Shiying retorted with a serious expression, "The world is still this world, the people are still this people, you are still you, and I am still me...... What's the difference? ”

Huang Daozhou looked at Ma Shiying in a daze, and after a long time, he sighed: "Shibei three days, you should be impressed...... Sure enough, His Royal Highness is not an ordinary person, so he has today's rebirth of Brother Ma...... Huang is not as far away as Brother Ma. ”

Ma Shiying laughed, "It's just a parrot, these words are often said by the prince, and after listening to them for a long time, they will naturally be remembered in their hearts...... Without further ado, it's important to get down to business first. ”

Huang Daozhou Zhengrong said: "But this time, I should first go to see Zhu Cunjiao, the king of Qin, not Lord Zhang." ”

Ma Shiying asked in surprise: "Brother Huang and Master Zhang are like-minded people, and they have been in contact for many days...... Why, even Brother Huang was not sure to persuade Master Zhang, and he actually thought it was easier to persuade Zhu Cunjiao, the king of Qin? ”

"Brother Ma is not a dull person, there are many things, and if you experience it carefully, you have to solve your doubts."

"Then according to Brother Huang's wishes, let's go see King Qin first." Ma Shiying didn't ask any more, and the two went to the Qin Palace.

……。

In the Rouyi Temple.

Zhu Yujiao looked at the candles with some fascination, and said leisurely: "I heard that the war in Jiangbei is tense...... It's been more than ten days, and no one has been sent to report it...... I don't know how the battle is going....... ”

"Who is this man...... It's always so crazy to act, it's just a matter of starting a war without permission, but you can't even leave a message coming, right? ”

"I'm really not the emperor?"

As she spoke, Zhu Yujiao became a little angry, turned her head to look at Zhang Tongchang, who was standing, and said, "You say, could it be that the war in Jiangbei is not going well, he ...... I'm ashamed to let me know, so I don't send someone to pass on the chapter and battle report? ”

Zhang Tongchang, who was dressed in a red-robed official uniform, bowed slightly and said, "Back to Your Majesty, ...... I don't know, or maybe King Wu deliberately did not report it, after all, the recovered Jiangbei land, the General's Mansion could not be transferred to the imperial court...... There is a precedent for this. ”

When Zhu Yujiao heard this, her brows furrowed, and she said in a sullen voice: "The minister is not the minister...... I have tolerated him for a long time, and if it weren't for the fact that he was really bent on resisting the Qing Dynasty and recovering the lost territory, I would have ...... Forget it, I have the grace to accommodate people. Zhang Qing might as well take the initiative to send someone to contact and investigate the situation of this battle, first, to show the world my tolerance for the courtiers and my concern for the great cause of the Northern Expedition, and secondly, to decide whether the imperial court will send troops to Jiangbei according to ......the battle situation. ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Tongchang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”

"Do you have any objections?"

"Exactly." Zhang Tongchang said, "Your Majesty is right, King Wu is indeed bent on resisting the Qing Dynasty and recovering the lost territory, and the minister has no suspicion about this. But it is precisely because of this that more and more talents under the account of King Wu began to gather, and now there are a few people in the court who are really talented people, and they have all voted for the general's mansion...... Your Majesty, there were Zhang Guowei, Zhang Huangyan, Xiong Rulin, etc., and then there were rich brothers, father and son, and even Lord Huang, the first assistant who is now in the court, is actually a person from King Wu. ”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhu Yujiao's tone became impatient, "Do you want to provoke the relationship between me and King Wu?" ”

Zhang Tongchang slowly knelt down with his left leg and then his right leg, looked directly at Zhu Yujiao and said: "The minister is dedicated to the dynasty and His Majesty, so he should tell him clearly...... At the beginning of people, their nature is good, no one is born with the desire to rebel and usurp chaos, they all reach a certain position, and with talents and strength around them, their ambitions naturally begin to grow. In just five years, King Wu was promoted from a small sentry chief to a prince ....... ”
