Chapter 306: Blood Flowed All Over the Ground

The square in front of the Qianqing Palace is full of dead people, this is not a good place to negotiate, Ma Shiying waved his hand and led everyone into the Qianqing Palace, and Ma Cheng asked his subordinates to escort those Donglin Party into the Qianqing Palace together.

The situation in the Qianqing Palace was better, there were no dead people, Ma Cheng found a few little eunuchs, cleaned up the dragon chair, and then pressed Zhu Lunkui on the dragon chair again.

Zhu Lunkui had only been away from his dragon chair for a few hours, but at this moment and then, the dragon chair that used to sit extremely comfortable was now like pins and needles.

Zhu Lunkui sat cautiously on the dragon chair, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I listened to the rumors of the eunuch Lu Jiude, I was wrong, and now I entrust the state affairs to Ma Shiying, and I will return to the harem to recuperate!" ”

As soon as Zhu Lunkui's words came out, those Donglin parties stopped doing it, and Huang Dao pushed away the soldiers who were guarding him, jumped out and pointed at Ma Shiying and scolded: "Ma Shiying, traitor!" Not to mention that you have brought disaster to the country and the people, you still want to control the government this time, what do you want to do? Do you want to be Wang Mang and Cao Cao? ”

Jumping out with Huang Daozhou is also his good student Qi Biaojia, this guy originally didn't deal with Ma Cheng, but now he is even more good, jumping out and running towards Ma Cheng, reaching out to strangle Ma Cheng.

Although Qi Biaojia led the troops to fight, he was a civilian official after all, where was he the opponent of Ma Cheng wearing full body armor, and he was kicked by Ma Cheng and fell to the side. Ma Cheng's arrest of the Donglin Party this time is fundamentally due to Liwei, and there is no possibility for Ma Shiying and the Donglin Party to ease up. So seeing Qi Biaojia fall, Ma Cheng stepped forward and pulled out the waist knife of the pro-soldier on the side and hacked Qi Biaojia to death.

There have been many records in the history of the Ming Dynasty that court ministers fought, but this was the first one to be killed in front of the emperor. Huang Daozhou saw that his beloved disciple was hacked to death, so he howled and pounced, grabbed Qi Biaojia's hands and shouted: "Youwen, Youwen!" I'm sorry for you! ”

When Qi Biaojia was dismissed and returned to his hometown, it was Huang Daozhou who wrote a letter to Qi Biaojia, asking him to go out of the mountain to assist King Lu, but he didn't expect Huang Daozhou's letter to make Qi Biaojia die tragically in the Qianqing Palace.

Ma Cheng held the bloody knife in his hand, looked at Zhu Lunkui fiercely, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Qi Biaojia, the governor of Nanzhili, is attached to Lu Jiude by the party, intending to assassinate the emperor, and now he will be corrected on the spot to set an example!" ”

Qi Biaojia was brought by Ma Cheng's soldiers, so what is there to assassinate the emperor? Not to mention that the party is attached to Lu Jiude. But now that Ma Cheng has the army in his hands, he can naturally charge whatever he wants. Zhu Lunkui was so frightened by Ma Cheng that he hung in his pants, and said tremblingly: "What Aiqing said. That's right, Qi Biaojia plotted against the first, and Aiqing killed well! ”

Ma Cheng smiled, turned to the remaining Donglin Party members and smiled: "You all heard it, right?" Who else doesn't want to live and is ready to rebel against our father and son? ”

Five or six people from the Donglin Party came this time, and there were a few people who were not afraid of death. Xie Xuelong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up and said expressionlessly: "Ma Cheng, there is also an old man, we can kill you, but can you kill all the scholars in the world?" ”

Ma Cheng was already red-eyed at this time, and asked with blood-red eyes, "And you are the other!" After speaking, he went up and stabbed Xie Xuelong to death, and then asked loudly: "Who else?" ”

Ma Cheng's red eyes looked at the remaining Donglin Party members, those who were not afraid of death had already been killed, and the rest did not want to be innocently killed. Zhang Jinyan, the imperial history of the left capital, has already been frightened,

Hearing Ma Cheng's question, after seeing Ma Cheng's red eyes, he quickly knelt on the ground and stumbled: "Minister. . . Obey the Holy Decree! ”

It is easy to take the lead, and the remaining Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party also knelt down to express their obedience to the emperor's will, after all, there is only one life, although these old guys are seventy or eighty, but no one will think that their lives are long.

Huang Daozhou, who was holding Qi Biaojia's corpse on the ground and weeping bitterly, saw that things were like this, and cried to the sky: "Emperor Taizu, if you have a spirit in the sky, look at your unfilial descendants!" After Huang Daozhou finished speaking, he stood up and rushed towards the big pillar of golden silk nanmu in the Qianqing Palace, and hit his head on the pillar, and his skull was shattered and he died.

The opposition was all dead, Ma Cheng called a little eunuch and asked him to set up a chair under the emperor's dragon chair, and then Ma Cheng came to Ma Shiying's side and said to Ma Shiying: "Dad, please sit under the emperor!" ”

Ma Shiying was also afraid of his son at this time, Ma Cheng had already killed his red eyes, who knew what he was going to do next, Ma Shiying had no choice but to sit under the emperor, Ma Cheng said to Emperor Zhu Lunkui: "Your Majesty the Emperor, my father has worked hard, are you willing to be the regent?" ”

At this time, what else could Zhu Lunkui say, nodding like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, willing!" I need a talent like Ma Qing to help govern the country! ”

After Zhu Lunkui finished speaking, he shouted to the ministers below: "Quick, hurry up and draft the decree!" Feng Ma Qing is the regent, he does not tend to enter the court, he praises and worships the name, and he goes to the palace with his sword! After Zhu Lunkui finished speaking, he looked at Ma Cheng, and then said: "Ma Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenguo, has made outstanding achievements in battle and has been promoted to the Duke of Zhenguo!" Ma Luan and Ma Xi were promoted to the kings! ”

There is only one Zhenguo Gong of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, Ma Cheng was very satisfied with this reward, and retreated to kneel on the ground with all the ministers and said: "The ministers obey the order!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

You must know that now Ma Shiying is sitting under the emperor, and these ministers kneel to worship the emperor and even Ma Shiying kneel together. Ma Shiying was still hesitating to accept the title of regent just now, but when he saw his former colleague kneeling in front of him and saying "Long live", the greed for power in his heart immediately swelled, and it felt so good to sit on it.

Ma Shiying looked at Zhu Lunkui, who was frightened beside him, and thought to himself: Since this position is so good, wouldn't the emperor's dragon chair be better?

The Wuzi Revolution came to an end at this time, and the coup d'Γ©tat began with Emperor Zhu Lunkui's desire to seize military power, and ended with Ma Shiying completely becoming a powerful minister. In the official history of later generations, the Wuzi change was so jealous, and the entire coup d'Γ©tat was only a few sentences and more than 20 words. This is also no way, the emperors of later generations are all direct descendants of Ma Cheng, and they can't say that their ancestors plotted to usurp the throne, and they planned to be Cao Cao early.

It is precisely because of the few more than 20 words recorded in the official history that great imagination space has been created for later historians. In the 100 years after Ma Cheng's death, various and wild histories emerged one after another, and they interpreted the Wuzi Revolution from their own perspectives, but the real process of the coup d'Γ©tat was annihilated in the long river of history.

History is still far away, and reality continues. After the completion of the Qianqing Palace, Ma Shiying withdrew from the palace with Wenchen, but Ma Cheng still needed to clean up the chaos in the palace. The guards and Jinyi guards in the palace who are loyal to Zhu Lunkui have been killed, but the emperor can't do without guards, and at the same time, Ma Cheng has to control the emperor, so this inner city admiral

, the official position of the minister of the southern capital town guard and the guard has Ma Cheng to be the official.

Of course, Ma Cheng is only in name, he can't stay in the imperial city every day and watch Zhu Lunkui, so after Ma Cheng leaves, this candidate becomes the key. Ma Cheng thought about it for a long time, and decided to let An Zhennan, who he trusted the most, take the role. An Zhennan is a Yi person and has no feelings for the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, An Zhennan is Ma Cheng's confidant and a personal soldier of the Gu family, and he will not be bought no matter what. Therefore, Ma Cheng decided to let An Zhennan lead 10,000 new troops and stationed in the imperial city of Yulin Right Guard, named Gongwei Center, to monitor Emperor Zhu Lunkui.

The guards in the Imperial Castle were solved, but the problem of the guards in the Imperial Castle could not be solved. The guards in the palace have always been in charge of the eunuchs, and it used to be Lu Jiude, but the current selection made it difficult for Ma Cheng.

Just when Ma Cheng was thinking about whether to let Gu Yong castrate himself and enter the palace as a eunuch, Ma Cheng's good friend Chang Qing came in.

This time, Ma Cheng returned to Nanjing City and brought Changqing back. Although Ma Cheng used to be very fond of evergreen, Ma Cheng is a ruthless person, and this kind of Longyang friend has no interest after playing for a few days. Today, there is a shortage of soldiers in the city, and Ma Cheng's wife and concubine are worried about Ma Cheng, but they are all women and it is inconvenient to go out, so they have to send a eunuch like Changqing to find Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng's heart moved when he saw Chang Qing coming in, he also has a trusted eunuch, isn't it Chang Qing. Although it is a pity that Chang Qing is such a beautiful woman to enter the palace to serve Zhu Lunkui, Ma Cheng is really unavailable at present.

Chang Qing came in and saluted and said, "Master, the slave and maid are entrusted by the lady to ask when the master will return to the house?" ”

Ma Cheng heard Chang Qing say this before he remembered that he hadn't gone home that day!

"How's it going at home? Kecheng suffered a military disaster? ”

"Master, there were indeed soldiers from the Soldiers and Horses Division who came to attack in the morning, but under the command of Lord Gu, they were beaten out! More than 100 guards in the palace died, and more than 40 family members died! The ladies are safe and sound! ”

Ma Cheng was very satisfied when he heard that there was nothing to do at home, but more than 100 of his most elite guards died, so you can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

Ma Cheng pulled Chang Qing over and sat on his lap, then touched his little white hand and asked: "Chang Qing, it's not a matter if you are always by my side, you know that Madam is very jealous, in the future, if I can't take care of the master, you will suffer!" ”

Chang Qing originally thought that Ma Cheng wanted to be gentle with him, but when he heard Ma Cheng say this, he immediately cried: "Master, why don't you want slaves?" The slave and maid will never say that it hurts again, and they must serve their masters wholeheartedly! ”

Ma Cheng listened to Chang Qing say this, but now there is still something to do, Ma Cheng smiled: "It's not that I don't want you, it's that I want you to do something for the master and spy on someone!" ”

Chang Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ma Cheng say this, patted his chest with his little hand, and then said: "The master is so bad, he really scared Qing'er to death!" ”

Changqing's tone is the same as that of a woman, Ma Cheng saw that he couldn't control it anymore, so he picked up Changqing in the town guard mansion and prepared to do good things with him.

After finishing the matter, Chang Qing asked with silky eyes: "Master, who are you going to spy on?" ”

Ma Cheng patted Changqing's ass and said with a smile: "The person you want to spy on is in this palace, it is Emperor Zhu Lunkui!" ”
