Lu Siye saw Ma Cheng holding a gun at Jinyiwei and was scared enough, according to Lu Siye's meaning, he followed Jinyiwei back first, and then went to a no-man's place to show his identity, according to the identity of Ma Cheng and Lu Siye, Jinyiwei could not afford to provoke, and he would definitely release the two respectfully, so how good it would be to solve the problem without showing the mountain or leaking.

But thinking that Ma Cheng, the second ancestor, wanted to complicate the problem, and now in public, you are holding a gun at Jinyiwei, which is a mortal enemy with Jinyiwei. Now Feng Kezong, the commander of Jinyiwei, is a close confidant of Emperor Zhu Yousong, and there is no good fruit for Ma Cheng and Lu Siye to eat when he really makes trouble with the emperor.

Lu Siye pulled Ma Cheng and whispered: "Second brother, this is Jinyiwei, they can't afford to offend, it's better to follow them!" ”

But Ma Cheng's strength came there to care about those, and the hammer that wrenched the musket scolded: "Jinyiwei is it! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu shot you in the head! ”

Feng Ji saw that this guy was really going to shoot, his face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle, the villain doesn't know the identity of the uncle, uncle, don't make a mistake!" At the same time, Feng Ji secretly made a gesture for his subordinates to hurry up and move the rescuers.

Xu Jiujue was overjoyed when he saw Ma Cheng pointing a gun at Jinyiwei, now you Ma Cheng can be charged with rebellion.

"Ma Cheng, you are a waste, you are firing, where did you go with the strength to beat the master just now?" Xu Jiujue is not afraid of chaos when he sees the excitement, he doesn't care about the life or death of Feng Ji's small general banner, as long as Ma Cheng really kills Feng Ji today, then this matter can't be good.

Xu Jiujue hoped that Ma Cheng would kill Feng Ji, but Ma Cheng was not really stupid, he could really kill Jinyiwei there, and there would be no room for maneuver in that kind of thing.

When several people were entangled here, a large number of soldiers appeared from the corner of the street, these people were all holding firearms in their hands, and the leader was wearing a red flying fish suit, which was Feng Kezong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Feng Kezong was originally a thousand households in the Fusi of Beizhen, and had a good relationship with the old Fu Wang, but as the old Fu King lost the hope of becoming the prince, Feng Kezong was also commanded by Jinyiwei to demote Tian Ergeng to the Nanzhen Fusi as a thousand households. Knowing that feng shui takes turns, Feng Kezong can wait for the son of King Lao Fu to ascend the throne here in Nanjing, so Feng Kezong has become the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

It was not a trivial matter that there were gunshots in the capital, and Feng Ji sent a letter to Feng Kezong before he set off with the captain. Feng Kezong was taken aback after receiving the news from his nephew, now that the new emperor has only been on the throne for two months, there is such a big thing in the city, so Feng Kezong hurriedly came with a hundred captains, and at the same time, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Feng Kezong also asked the emperor to bring fifty bird guns, so as to avoid suppressing the mob in case the situation gets out of control.

Feng Ji saw that his uncle came to save him with a large group of men, and now someone was bold Feng Ji came up and shouted to Ma Cheng: "You guy still don't put away the fire gun, our commander is here!" ”

Ma Cheng looked at the commander in a beautiful dragon robe and smiled and put away the musket (the flying fish embroidered on the flying fish suit is a kind of dragon, Ma Cheng has never seen it, of course he thinks it is a dragon), Ma Cheng just wants to make things bigger. Because Ma Cheng knew that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was dark, who knew what would happen if he followed these brocade guards to their yamen? Although he can't be in any danger, Gu Zhong is likely to be secretly pushed out of the top tank by these guys, so Ma Cheng has to make things as big as possible, and it is best to get it to the emperor, so that he can fish in troubled waters and turn things upside down.

Feng Ji, who had a way to live, ran to Feng Kezong and said the matter again, Feng Ji had never been so frightened in his life, so naturally he couldn't say anything good about Ma Cheng, and put all the basins on Ma Cheng's head.

Feng Kezong looked at the more than 20 people who were surrounded by Jinyi Guard, Xu Jiujue recognized that he was the son of Wei Guogong, but Wei Guogong had already lost power, so Feng Kezong was not very afraid of them. However, what made Feng Kezong puzzled was the few people on the other side, looking at the costumes, they were Ming Army, but the two leaders were very young and did not look like officers. Ma Cheng's personal soldiers were covered in white ash and dust, and the number in front of them couldn't be seen at all, so Feng Kezong didn't find out that they were soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

Feng Kezong rode on the horse and pointed at Ma Cheng with a horsewhip and asked, "Who are you two?" How dare you fight in the streets of the capital? ”

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "My name is Ma Cheng, and my father is Ma Shiying!" After speaking, Ma Cheng pointed at Lu Siye and said: "His name is Lu Siye, and his uncle is Lu Jiude!" ”

Feng Kezong secretly screamed when he heard Ma Cheng say this, although Ma Shiying was the first assistant, Feng Kezong was not very afraid, because Jinyiwei and civil officials are fundamentally two systems, and Jinyiwei can not hang civil officials as long as he has the emperor's trust. But Lu Jiude is different, eunuchs and Jinyi guards are actually one kind of thing, that is, the emperor's domestic slaves, and they can completely rely on the imperial power to fight the power of the people.

Now although Lu Jiude is not the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch, he is also the number two person among the eunuchs, not to mention that Lu Jiude also serves as the palm seal of the imperial horse eunuch, and he is not inferior to Han Zanzhou in terms of power.

Lu Jiude is not someone Feng Kezong can offend, there is no way Feng Kezong asked: "You are meritorious children, but you can't let your subordinates shoot in the capital, which of your subordinates just fired just now?" (Many book friends say how to use a musket for a while, in fact, it was called a musket in the Ming Dynasty, so I used a musket in the dialogue, but for everyone's viewing habits, they were changed to muskets.) 020 reading

Feng Kezong said this, he completely wanted to pick out Ma Cheng and Lu Siye, after all, the emperor already knew about this matter, and finally had to give the emperor an explanation. According to Feng Kezong's idea, he was to find a substitute for the dead ghost* and hand it over, so that Ma Cheng and Lu Siye could also bear the charge of being lax with the emperor.

Lu Siye was overjoyed when he heard Feng Kezong say this, he didn't expect this commander to be so upright, and the name of exoneration was ready, Lu Siye was just about to agree, but Ma Cheng, who knew the second pole, did not agree.

Ma Cheng wanted to save Gu Zhong today, so naturally he couldn't do what Feng Kezong had arranged, so Ma Cheng said: "It's either the guns fired by our subordinates, or the guns fired by me!" ”

Xu Jiujue on the side was overjoyed when he heard Ma Cheng admit that he shot himself, he was choked enough by Ma Cheng just now, and he hated this damn guy to death. Now that he heard that Ma Cheng had taken the blame on himself, he couldn't wait for the emperor to order this Ma Cheng to be killed immediately. So Xu Jiujue shouted from the side: "Lord Commander, I saw Ma Cheng's gun with my own eyes, and I can testify to it!" ”

Feng Kezong saw that Ma Cheng was so two-pole, it was really Wang Erxiao who didn't go to the good way, but Feng Kezong couldn't help it, since this was the case, he could only do business. But if you do business, you will offend Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude, Feng Kezong thought to himself, since this is the case, it is better to send it directly to the emperor, and let the emperor solve this problem himself.

"Okay, since this is the case, a few people follow this official into the palace, after you are all heroes, this official can't be the master, so I have to ask the emperor to judge!"

Lu Siye was half angry when he heard Feng Kezong say this, whether this Ma Cheng was beaten in the head by himself is not completely complete, Feng Kezong is already exculpating, you Ma Cheng is good, you have to go to face the saint. But now that it's here, what else can we do? There was no way, Lu Siye had no choice but to follow Ma Cheng to the palace to see the emperor in frustration.

Feng Kezong took Ma Cheng, Lu Siye, and Xu Jiujue from Xi'an Gate into the imperial city, and entered the palace through Xihua Gate.

Nanjing Imperial Palace has been abandoned there since Zhu Di moved the capital, and there were still people in the palace who were responsible for maintenance and cleaning, but with the tight financial situation in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the expenditure of Nanjing Imperial Palace could only be reduced. The Fengtian Hall and the Huagai Hall in the first three halls of the palace were destroyed by the heavenly fire in the Chenghua and Jiajing periods respectively, and the last Jinshen Hall was also in disrepair and could not be inhabited at all, and there was no way Zhu Yousong's enthronement ceremony could only be held in the Wuying Palace.

Now although Zhu Yousong has been on the throne for more than two months, the imperial court's finances have been tight, and the progress of renovating the palace can only be pushed back again and again, so the current Nanjing Imperial Palace is almost the same as before, except for where the emperor lives, everything else is barren grass.

Enter the square outside the Qianqing Palace from the Qianqing Gate, because it is the place where the emperor lives, so it still looks a little after renovation, but because there is no money, the red paint on the outside of the house, and the yellow tiles on the roof have not been repaired, but it is much stronger than the garbage heap just now.

Ma Cheng watched Feng Kezong go to the door with the waist card to report, Ma Cheng looked around, and happened to see a little eunuch sweeping the floor on the side. Ma Cheng whispered to Lu Siye: "Old Lu, did you bring a silver ticket?" ”

Lu Siye's family naturally carried money with him, but he didn't know what Ma Cheng was going to do, so he asked suspiciously: "Yes, what are you doing?" ”

"What's the cost, give me a hundred taels, it's urgent!"

Lu Siye didn't dare to disagree when he heard Ma Cheng say this, so he had no choice but to pick out a hundred taels of silver tickets and hand it to Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng left the team and pulled the little eunuch who swept the floor and said, "Can the little father-in-law help me do something?" ”

The little eunuch was the lowest-level cleaner in the palace, and when he saw Ma Cheng coming over, he quickly knelt down and said, "This lord, the status of the slave is low, please ask the lord for instructions!" ”

Ma Cheng pulled up the little eunuch and whispered: "You know the residence of Ma Xuanzhi in the palace, you go to Ma Xuanshi, just say that her brother is going to die, let her save her life!" The little eunuch shook his head when he heard this, the rules in the palace are strict, where does he dare to leave his post without permission?

Seeing that this little eunuch was timid, Ma Cheng had no choice but to say again: "You are under the supervision of the Straight Palace, right?" You go to your immediate boss, Father-in-law You, and say that Ma Cheng is waiting for him to save his life! After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he stuffed the one hundred taels of silver tickets in his hand into the hands of the little eunuch and re-entered the team. The Jinyi guards around Ma Cheng all knew that this guy was valuable, as long as he didn't run away, he would turn a blind eye to everything else, so he didn't see Ma Cheng's small movements.
