It is understandable for Ma Cheng to think so, because Ma Cheng knows the historical process, according to history, if Ma Cheng did not appear at this time, Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi and others would have become second ministers, and Ma Shiying would have been sent to Beijing to peel the skin. But Ma Cheng knows the historical process Ruan Dacheng doesn't know, in the hearts of traditional literati like Ruan Dacheng has always looked down on Qiu Ba, although Ma Cheng is now in the mix, in the eyes of orthodox scholars like Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying, Ma Cheng is just the second Yue Fei.

When Yue Fei was at his most beautiful, he won a great victory in Zhuxian Town, and single-handedly wiped out Wanyan Zongbi's 100,000 army. But what can Yue Fei do, isn't he recovered by Song Gaozong's twelve gold medals, and finally unjustly killed Fengbo Pavilion? Therefore, in the eyes of Ruan Dacheng, Ma Shiying and others, generals like Ma Cheng are just the second Yue Fei, and the emperor wants to kill you in minutes.

Ruan Dacheng saw Ma Cheng's disapproving appearance, and felt that this kid should be reminded that although Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying are only an alliance of interests, Ma Cheng can be counted as Ruan Dacheng's son-in-law after all. and if the Ma family falls in the future, he will definitely be implicated, and Ruan Dacheng will remind Ma Cheng for both public and private purposes.

"Ma boy, the old man reminds you, don't be too arrogant in the court, can you still be stronger than Yue Fei and Han Shizhong? Didn't these two people die and resign in the end? For the sake of your family, it's better to keep a low profile, boy! ”

Ma Cheng heard Ruan Dacheng say this and laughed: "Father-in-law is too worried, as the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies and cooks, but what about this cunning rabbit not dead?" ”

What kind of character is Ruan Dacheng, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Ma Cheng had the idea of raising his own respect, Ruan Dacheng smiled and said: "Boy, what you said is good, but you should be careful, you are not the only lackey!" ”

Ruan Dacheng's words surprised Ma Cheng very much, is there still a military general in the DPRK who can replace him now?

"Father-in-law, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the Emperor wants to find someone to replace me? Is there still a military general in the DPRK who can replace me? ”

"Hehe, of course no one can replace you now, and it is impossible for the emperor to self-destruct the Great Wall at this critical moment, but the future is not necessarily! Boy, you have to remember that you can live without anyone in these years! ”

Ma Cheng listened to Ruan Dacheng's words, although he did not admit defeat, but he really thought it was true in his heart. Ma Cheng is not the hairy boy who just crossed over a year ago, although Ma Cheng did not participate in the high-level political struggle this year, but he has seen it all the time. Ma Shiying used all kinds of obscene means to drive away Zhang Shenyan and Gao Hongtu, and used Mingsheng and Secret Descent to drive away Shi Kefa, Ma Cheng knew through these things that although politics is not as fierce as the swords and guns on the battlefield, this kind of stabbing in the back and watching people put down dishes is more terrifying.

Ruan Dacheng was very happy to see Ma Cheng's silence, and he didn't have any good intentions for Ma Cheng to say this today. The reason is very simple, Ruan Dacheng also looked at the position of the first assistant, but now the strength of the Ma family's father and son is too strong, Ruan Dacheng does not dare to attack Ma Shiying. Now that Ma Cheng has been reprimanded by Ma Shiying, their father and son have a disagreement, and it is the opportunity for Ruan Dacheng to replace him.

"Virtuous nephew, although your father is afraid that the Ma family will not be able to protect in the future, but don't worry, if your father is gone, won't there be an old man?"

Ma Cheng pouted when he heard Ruan Dacheng say this, yes, you Ruan Dacheng is Ma Cheng's old man, but don't talk about this kind of thing, even the real old man is not necessarily good.

"Father-in-law, you seem to be a few years older than my father, right?" Oh, yes! You Ruan Dacheng is three years older than Ma Shiying, and it is not certain who will die in front!

Ruan Dacheng was not dissatisfied with Ma Cheng's words, but said with a smile: "The old man has always been in good health, even if the old man can't live your father, but the old man has a bunch of old people, and there will always be someone to help you in the future!" ”

What Ruan Dacheng said was the truth, although Ma Shiying was the first assistant, the Ma family did not have any help in Nanzhili. On the other hand, Ruan Dacheng is different, Ruan Dacheng is a native of Tongcheng, Nanzhili, and he was still in the Donglin Party back then, and there were a lot of protégés and former officials. Ma Shiying was able to drive out the Donglin Party and control the government in a short period of time, and Ruan Dacheng's surrender played a great role.

Ma Cheng's eyes rolled and he felt that what Ruan Dacheng said was not bad, Ma Cheng was not a fuel-efficient lamp, knowing what the hell Ruan Dacheng was fighting, it was nothing more than wanting to form an alliance with himself, and when the time came, if Ma Shiying really hung up, Ruan Dacheng would use his own strength to be the first assistant.

Ruan Dacheng is using Ma Cheng, why is Ma Cheng not using Ruan Dacheng? Now Ma Cheng's strength is not enough, he can only rely on Ma Shiying's wings to grow, but the world is unpredictable, who knows how long Ma Shiying can live, so it is reasonable to prepare a back road for himself. Of course, the alliance with Ruan Dacheng is based on Ma Cheng's weak strength, if Ma Shiying can survive Ma Cheng's development stage, it will not be Ruan Dacheng who will use Ma Cheng, but Ma Cheng will in turn clean up Ruan Dacheng.

So Ma Cheng's calculation is that if his own Lao Tzu fails, Ruan Dacheng will also be regarded as a life-saving straw. Now Ruan Dacheng is the second assistant of the cabinet, and according to the rules, the vacancy of the first assistant and the second assistant should be filled. Thinking of this, Ma Cheng smiled and said, "In that case, the son-in-law has thanked his father-in-law!" ”

After forming an alliance with Ruan Dacheng, Ma Cheng will no longer wait at Ruan Dacheng's house, Ma Cheng stood up and wanted to retire, who knew that Ruan Dacheng said: "Boy, what do you want to do with my daughter?" ”

Ma Cheng didn't expect Ruan Dacheng to ask this, Ma Cheng thought for a while and said: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law likes Ling Ai very much, but Ling Ai is from a noble background, can he go to the son-in-law's house as a concubine?" ”

What Ma Cheng said is also reasonable, Ruan Lizhen's background is not inferior to Ma Cheng, even if her nominal husband Cao Taiwang dies, Ruan Lizhen will not be able to be a concubine for Ma Cheng. In addition, Ma Cheng was just playing with Ruan Lizhen, and he didn't have the heart to be serious and responsible at all.

Ruan Dacheng pondered for a moment and said, "Lizhen is two months pregnant!" ”

Ma Cheng was stunned when he heard Ruan Dacheng say this, and asked: "Cao Taiwang is so damn good, can he recover if his lower body is trampled on?" ”

After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he saw Ruan Dacheng's face pale, and quickly changed his words: "Damn it, damn it!" The little nephew should congratulate the uncle! ”

Ruan Dacheng saw that Ma Cheng didn't speak human words, and scolded angrily: "Ma Cheng, don't pretend to be confused, Cao Taiwang has become like that, don't you know who this child is?" ”

Hearing Ruan Dacheng tell the story, Ma Cheng was very helpless, he already had a bunch of concubines in his family, and just now he put Kou Baimen into the room, and he didn't know how to explain to Gu Miaoyin, the wife of the main room, when he went home, and now he got a pregnant woman, how can this be good?

But now that he is in alliance with Ruan Dacheng, it is really unreasonable not to give him an explanation, so Ma Cheng has no choice but to say: "Father-in-law, you can rest assured about this, the son-in-law will do things alone, and he will."

Let's be sure that there is a saying for Ling Ai! ”

Ruan Dacheng's gloomy face asked, "What about now?" Lizhen has been fine for just two months now, what will happen if she shows her pregnancy in a few months? Now the whole city knows that Cao Taiwang is injured and cannot be humane, do you want Lizhen to hang herself? ”

Although Cao Taiwang's son Cao Luji died in his early years, this old guy has many protégés, and he still has a certain influence in officialdom and Shilin. If the daughter-in-law of the Cao family is pregnant in this situation, rumors can force Ruan Lizhen to death.

Ma Cheng thought for a long time and said: "Otherwise, please let out the news of your father-in-law, and say that Cao Taiwang has taken the medicine of the old Chinese medicine to regain his strength, is this good?" "In later generations, there were many such old Chinese medicine doctors on telephone poles, and Ma Cheng had no choice but to steal the old Chinese medicine doctor.

"Fart, do you think people are just as stupid as you are? What old Chinese medicine doctor, sitting there? What is it called? This method can be seen through at a glance! ”

"My father-in-law is wrong, you can make up a wandering immortal, such as Zhang Sanfeng, anyway, this old guy is hundreds of years old, just say that he traveled to the southern capital to cure Cao Taiwang of the hidden disease, and then drifted away, isn't this okay?"

Ruan Dacheng heard that there was a way, but this Ma Cheng just didn't admit it, so he had to try it with this method.

Ma Cheng saw that Ruan Dacheng had not yet lost his anger, and continued on the side: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law knows that the father-in-law has no heirs, and the son-in-law guarantees here that if Ling Ai's birth is a boy, he will be handed over to his father-in-law to raise, so that he can follow his mother's surname and inherit the glory of his father-in-law in the future!" ”

Ma Cheng made a good calculation, anyway, this child is unplanned, and it is not bad to hand it over to Ruan Dacheng, you must know that Ruan Dacheng's family is very rich, and it will not all be his own son in the future?

Ma Cheng's suggestion made Ruan Dacheng overjoyed, Ruan Dacheng probably lacked virtue when he was young, and he did a lot of things without giving birth, only Ruan Lizhen was a concubine. Ruan Dacheng and the Cao family also had a plan to marry back then, Cao Taiwang is the second son of the Cao family, and there is no need for Cao Taiwang's sister-in-law to inherit the family business in the future, so naturally Ruan Dacheng can also ask his grandson to inherit him.

Ruan Dacheng's family has 100,000 acres of fertile land, and he is the largest landowner in Tongcheng, and it is not good if this family business is cheap for those distant nephews, so Ruan Dacheng was overjoyed when he heard Ma Cheng's words, and quickly asked: "Virtuous son-in-law, you said this, what if Brother Yaocao doesn't agree?" ”

Ma Cheng patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured father-in-law, where is my father, I will explain, I am saying that I am the second son, I don't need to inherit any family business, and my father has a relationship with my father-in-law, this kind of thing is no problem at all!" ”

Ruan Dacheng was very happy to hear Ma Cheng's promise, and the fear that his daughter would hang herself just now was swept away, but he politely invited Ma Cheng to stay for dinner.

Ma Cheng was now full of thoughts, where could he stay to eat, so after some excuses, he got up and left Ruan's house.

Out of the gate Ma Cheng entered the sedan chair to return home, on the way Ma Cheng was full of helplessness, after just crossing he thought it was very easy to defeat the Manchu Dynasty, but now he found that the problem was as easy as he thought, not to mention the situation outside, it was enough for his own people to drag his feet. However, Daddy Ma Shiying's worries are not wrong, in case there is really a day when it is definitely himself, so after thinking about it, Ma Cheng decided that it is the right way to increase his strength while Ma Shiying is alive now.
