Ma Shiying shouted wronged, "Don't you know that once the party struggle starts, the danger is no less than the battlefield, or even more cruel." On the battlefield, the enemy just wants you to die alone, but the party struggle is different, the enemy not only wants you to die, but also your family, your relatives and friends to die together, so that you will be defeated, and there will be no day to turn over. Let's ask, when the Donglin Party goes to war, is Ma willing to kill and bring disaster to his family? Can Ma not fight? ”

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying became a little excited, "Today, Ma is a fish and meat, Jinghai is a knife, if you want to kill or chop, it all depends on Hou Ye's words, since Ma has said it, you have to say it thoroughly." ”

Wu Zhengqi said: "Just say it, no one will stop you." ”

"Does Jinghaihou think that Nanjing was captured by the Qing army?"

"Isn't it?"

"Humph!" Ma Shiying sneered, "Before Yangzhou fell, before the Qing army came to attack, in fact, Nanjing was like a defenseless city. In the first battle of Yangzhou, Shi Kefa buried all the elites of the imperial court, and the four towns had already been separated. Has Hou Ye heard of the previous case of the fake prince? ”

Wu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I've heard of it." ”

It was this case of the fake prince that caused Zuo Liangyu, the Marquis of Ningnan, to raise troops in Wuchang, claiming to be under the secret edict of the prince, in the name of saving the prince and Zhu Shiying, and went down the river and forced Nanjing, which led to internal strife. Hum...... Hmph, a man who is in the morning and twilight, but also has the face to play the role of a loyal minister? He just wanted to use this matter to ruin the emperor's reputation, force the imperial court to compromise, and give him greater autonomy. ”

Wu Zheng was silent, he had heard about it.

The case of the fake prince completely swept away the majesty of the emperor, and from then on, the decree did not go out of the city gate of Nanjing. But Ma can still clearly perceive that behind this incident, there is the shadow of the Donglin Party. ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said: "Don't talk nonsense, what is the benefit of the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty and the Donglin Party?" ”

Ma Shiying was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, and asked, "Haven't you heard a common saying that loss is not good for you?" ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said angrily: "Are you ridiculing Ben Hou?" ”

Ma Shiying reined in at this time, and said solemnly: "I planned to contact the four towns, support King Fu, and lead a large army to escort King Fu to Pukou, Nanjing. Although Shi Kefa and the Donglin Party were full of remorse, they could only accept the reality when they saw that the general trend had been decided and the wood had been completed. But the Donglin Party has been looking for an opportunity to turn the tables, and the case of the fake prince is the best wedge point. As long as the fake prince dies, the emperor will sit on the notoriety of the king, the king is not virtuous, and the edict of the guilty himself will be just in the prosperous times, especially when the qualifications of King Fu to ascend the throne are disputed, it will be a disaster. ”

Wu Zheng said suddenly: "Did Emperor Hongguang kill the prince?" ”

Ma Shiying was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a while and asked, "If the waiting master is transposed, how will he deal with this prince?" ”

Wu Zheng didn't expect Ma Shiying to ask rhetorically, and was speechless for a while.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Wu Zheng suddenly popped out of his mouth with a word, "Kill!" ”

Ma Shiying sighed lightly and said: "Hou Ye is wise, if it were anyone, the way to deal with this matter would be the same, that is, killing." Otherwise, after a long time, people's hearts will fluctuate, the throne will be unstable, and the society will be turbulent. ”

Although Wu Zheng said that he jumped out of a killing word, he finally sighed: "Killing can't solve the problem, but will make the matter even more intense." ”

Ma Shiying became as excited as if she had met a bosom friend, and said in a trembling voice: "Hou Ye Yingming, this matter is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting yourself." If you don't kill, people's hearts will float. Kill, people's hearts float the same. ”

Wu Zheng suddenly asked, "The prince ...... Is it the real prince? ”

Ma Shiying's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Wu Zheng in a daze, and after a while, he replied: "Naturally not!" Although Ma is despicable, he will never dare to do the murder of the king! That is a pretending young man, his hair, words, and behavior are all vulgar, and Ma knows that this must be fake at a glance. It's just that since he has been brought to the court by someone with a heart, he has to come as usual, and it is not Ma Mou who can decide in a word. ”

Wu Zheng seemed to be a little disappointed in his heart, but he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

Ma Shiying is right, killing the king is the biggest crime in the world after all, regardless of whether the king is faint or not.

"How did the false prince die in the end?"

Ma Shiying shook his head and said: "Ma told the emperor to imprison this person, and there was no advice to kill this person." ”

"Could it be the poisonous hand sent by Emperor Hongguang?"

Ma Shiying thought for a while and said, "No...... Probably not. I remember explaining the pros and cons of killing or not killing with the emperor at that time, and the emperor also felt that it was better not to kill, as long as it was not well detained, it was equivalent to having quality in hand, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. ”

"But after all, he died in the end."

"That's why I said that there must be Donglin people behind this matter."

Wu Zheng disagreed, "Maybe it's not the Donglin Party, or maybe the Qing court is doing it?" ”

"No, it can't be the Qing court. If it was done by the Qing court, they would definitely not find a fake prince who was not very similar to disgust the emperor and the court, they would carefully select a person who was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Secondly, the fake prince died in the place of detention for no reason, I think the Qing court has not yet been able to assassinate the emperor and important ministers in that case, why bother to get a fake prince in one move, and directly assassinate the emperor and important ministers? In the end, the death of the false prince is not good for the Qing court, if it is really the Qing court's instructions, then let the fake prince live, and it will cause chaos in our court. ”

Wu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense." ”

"Ma can be sure that the fake prince was definitely not killed by the emperor, the emperor knows very well that if the fake prince has something to do at this time, this account will be recorded on his head, besides, if the emperor really kills someone, then how can this matter be spread?"

Wu Zheng nodded again, this makes sense, the emperor kills people, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy a corpse, and how can the outside immediately know that the fake prince is dead?

Ma Shiying said: "Therefore, the Donglin Party must be behind this matter." Only they can bring a person who has no resemblance to the crown prince to the court for discussion. They are the only ones who have this motive, and they are the only ones who can secretly kill people without knowing it, and then immediately spread the news. ”

Although Wu Zheng was moved in his heart, he was noncommittal on his face.

Looking at Ma Shiying, who was excited, Wu Zheng diverted the topic and asked: "I don't understand one thing, the Hongguang Dynasty died, and you were squeezed out and expelled by the King of Lu and the Longwu Dynasty, why do you still ...... What about traveling around the country to resist the Qing Dynasty? ”
