(Write a chapter first, try to keep it updated, after all, a month's full attendance is a lot of money!) ）

At this time, Ma Shiying was thrown to the ground by the two brocade guards, and he had already woken up, at first he didn't know what was going on, and he looked at Ma Cheng in a daze, and it took a long time to react that the emperor was going to kill him, so frightened that Ma Shiying shouted: "Cheng'er save me!" ”

Ma Luan is a civil official, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak when he saw this scene, Ma Xi was better, although he was also scared to death, but after all, he was a military general, so he reacted immediately, looked at Ma Cheng and shouted: "What should I do with the second brother?" ”

Seeing Lu Siye rushing over with someone, Ma Cheng scolded: "What the hell can I do?" You go to carry your father, I will carry my eldest brother, and quickly escape into the inner library to hide! ”

Ma Cheng and Ma Xi stepped forward to carry Ma Shiying on their backs, and the other supported Ma Luan, and hurriedly crossed the palace wall and entered the inner library.

When Ma Cheng and the others disappeared, Lu Siye ran over with people, this is no way, Lu Siye was more than 100 meters away from Ma Cheng just now, and in addition, these 100 people are wearing heavy armor and weapons, so it is strange that they can run fast.

Lu Siye saw Ma Cheng disappear into the ruins of the inner library, and scolded angrily: "You waste, don't you go in to find it?" If I can't find Lao Tzu, I'll kill you! ”

Although Lu Siye's subordinates were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to attack, so they had no choice but to enter the inner library with torches and start searching room by room. The inner treasury in the imperial city occupies a huge area, there are five or six hundred rooms, and there are only one hundred people under Lu Siye, when will this be found?

Lu Siye knew that Ma Cheng had a very high prestige in the army, and if he couldn't find Ma Cheng for a long time, when the news spread after dawn, it would be difficult to guarantee that the 50,000 troops outside the city would have any moves. Lu Siye thought that he had no choice, so he had to go to his uncle Lu Jiude.

Because there is an important operation tonight, Lu Jiude dares to sleep? After being on duty in the Qianqing Palace, he rushed to Xihuamen, and waited for the good news from Lu Siye outside the door.

Lu Jiude came to Xihua Gate and waited in the room where the guards were on duty inside the gate, and after a while, someone came to report that Lu Siye was coming outside Xihua Gate.

Lu Jiude thought that things were going well, and after asking through the crack in the door of Xihua Gate, Lu Jiude knew that the Ma family father and son had run into the ruins of the inner library.

Lu Jiude was so angry that he scolded Lu Siye: "You are a waste, more than a hundred people can't catch four drunks? ”

Lu Siye said with a sad face: "Uncle, this is no way, who would have thought that Ma Cheng could see through our arrangement!" Now what? They ran into the inner warehouse, there were hundreds of houses inside, and there were only a hundred people under my nephew, and they couldn't find it after two days of searching! ”

Lu Jiude thought about it, it was impossible to transfer people from the palace, and now the palace gate has been locked, unless there is something important, and the emperor's special order is required to open the door. But Lu Jiude wanted to have a place in the future court and didn't want the emperor to look down on him.

There was no way Lu Jiude said to Lu Siye outside the door: "It is impossible to transfer troops from Xihuamen, you go to find Mei Chun, he is on duty tonight!" ”

Hearing that his uncle asked him to go to Mei Chun, Lu Siye asked hesitantly: "Uncle, Mei Chun's attitude is unclear, I'm afraid to go to him." ”

Lu Siye was afraid that Mei Chun would sell him, but Lu Jiude was cunning and sneered: "Stupid, don't you have a holy decree?" Take it to Mei Chun, as long as Mei Chun is not a fool, he will know what to do! ”

Lu Siye couldn't help it when he heard his uncle say this

, I had to let my subordinates continue to search here, and I took a few people to the Nandu Town Guard Mansion in the imperial city.

The Nandu Town Shoufu is not far from the Xihua Gate, at the intersection of the West City Wall and the South City Wall, this should have been Lu Siye's Yamen, after all, his name is the Nandu Town Guard. But where did the emperor dare to hand over all the rights to one person after Ma Cheng's affairs, so the emperor handed over the defense of Nanjing to three people, the inner city was Lu Siye, the imperial city was Meichun, and finally the palace was the emperor's most trusted Lu Jiude.

Today is the day of the emperor's wedding, Mei Chun did not dare to be sloppy, and personally led the palace guards on duty. At this time, someone outside reported that Lu Siye, the commander of the inner city school, came to see Mei Chun with a holy decree.

Mei Chun was a meritorious person in the defense of Nanjing, and was promoted to the commander after the war, and was extremely loyal to the old Zhu family in addition to Mei Chun's ancestors, so Emperor Zhu Lunkui promoted Mei Chun to the minister of the guard, the commander of the imperial city garrison, and the commander of the filial piety guard.

Mei Chun also knew why the emperor valued himself so much, it was nothing more than the word loyalty, so Mei Chun was really conscientious in the past few years, and there was no mistake.

Tonight, when Mei Chun heard that the holy decree was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out with two lieutenants to greet him, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Lu Siye in armor standing in front of him, Mei Chun was stunned.

It's peacetime now, why did Lu Siye, an inner city commander, enter the imperial city in military uniform? Could it be that something is wrong in the Imperial City?

Mei Chun didn't dare to ask, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Minister Mei Chun, meet the angel!" ”

Lu Siye didn't say much, and opened the middle order and said: "The cabinet Ma Shiying's father and son have rebelled, and now they order Lu Siye, the governor of the inner city, to lead the troops to exterminate them!" "Because it is not an official state document, the format is very simple, and there are no words such as Fengtian carrier.

Although this edict is simple, it can be like thunder in Mei Chun's ears, the emperor wants to kill Ma Shiying's whole family?

"Lu Junmen, is this true?" Mei Chun knew Ma Cheng's contribution to the country, and he didn't believe that the emperor could order Ma Cheng to be killed, so Mei Chun's first reaction was that Lu Siye and his uncle Lu Jiude were cunning and wanted to launch a palace coup. Some middle-level officers who followed behind Mei Chun also leaned over one after another when they saw Mei Junmen asking, and waited for Mei Chun to give an order to correct this cunning Lu Siye on the spot.

Lu Siye saw that these palace guards were not good-looking, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he knew that these imperial city guards were different from those Han generals in the palace, these guards had participated in the defense of Nanjing back then, although they were not Ma Cheng's descendants, but they admired Ma Cheng very much, and now as long as they have a little suspicious action, they will immediately die on the spot.

Lu Siye shouted nervously: "Mei Junmen, you see, this decree is stamped with the emperor's small seal, and it is still the emperor's handwriting!" It's not an official's cunning! ”

Mei Chun took the edict in Lu Siye's hand and looked at it carefully, only to find that as Lu Siye said, there was no problem with the small seal and font. Mei Chun knew that Lu Siye's uncle Lu Jiude was in charge of the emperor's seal, so the small seal was nothing, but the emperor's handwritten letter could not be forged, which also proved that the emperor really wanted to get rid of Ma Cheng's father and son.

Mei Chun respected Ma Cheng very much in his heart, and even raised Ma Cheng to the level of the founding generals, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, the emperor would destroy the Great Wall. But the emperor is the emperor, although he Mei Chun is unwilling in his heart, but the Mei family has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the royal family for generations, so Mei Chun knelt down again and said: "Minister Mei Chun,

Edict! ”

Mei Chun's subordinates saw that the commanders had already been edicted, and they knelt down one by one to receive the order.

Seeing that these guys were finally subdued by Zhongzhi, Lu Siye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Mei Chun, now Ma Shiying and his son are hiding in the inner library between Xi'an Gate and Xihua Gate, you lead a thousand imperial city guards, go to search immediately, remember!" found that Ma Shiying's father and son immediately corrected the Fa on the spot, as long as the dead are not alive! ”

Mei Chun sighed in his heart that he really killed the donkey, but what could he do?

Mei Chun arched his hand and said: "The last general will take the order!" After speaking, he took a thousand soldiers and followed Lu Siye to Neiku to find the traces of Ma Cheng's father and son.

It was already late at night when Ma Cheng and his son came out of the Qianqing Palace after drinking, and Lu Siye was already bright after this action, and when Mei Chun and his people rushed to Xi'an Gate Neiku. Mei Chun looked at the sky, although he didn't know if Ma Shiying's father and son were still inside, but Mei Chun hoped that he could find Ma Shiying's father and son as soon as possible. Because Mei Chun knew the weight of Ma Cheng in the army, if this matter dragged on for a long time and was informed by the 50,000 troops outside the city, it would not be one or two people who died.

Emperor Zhu Lunkui handed over the task of cleaning up Ma Shiying's father and son to Lu Siye, because he was afraid that the news would leak and lead to a failure. Ma Cheng has a very high prestige in the army, although Lu Siye is now the governor of the inner city, but who knows if that middle-level general is Ma Cheng's ironcore, if the news that the emperor wants to get rid of Ma Cheng spreads, the last unlucky person is likely to be the emperor himself.

Mei Chun looked at the ruins of the inner library of the black hole, and said to his subordinates: "A group of ten, start searching!" ”

One of Mei Chun's subordinates asked in a low voice, "Lord Junmen, what if you catch it?" ”

Mei Chun groaned for a while, and then said in a low voice: "According to the emperor's order, kill or kill!" ”

Although Mei Chun's subordinates admired Ma Cheng, the emperor's order did not dare to disobey, so he had to lead people to start searching the inner library room one by one.

Ma Cheng and Ma Xi helped Ma Shiying and Ma Luan to leave the road and enter the inner library, at this time Ma Shiying had already woken up for the most part, he saw his two sons kill the accompanying Jinyi guard, and saw the palace guards of Xi'an Gate shouting to kill themselves, so frightened that they would not leave, if it were not for Ma Xi carrying Ma Shiying, it was likely to be caught by Lu Siye's men halfway.

Ma Luan's situation is similar to Ma Shiying, both of them are civil officials, and they are usually experts in stumbling under sticks, and they are already too scared to walk when they really use knives and guns.

Ma Cheng helped Ma Luan run for dozens of meters, and Ma Luan reflected, picked up his official robe and ran all the way behind Ma Xi.

The father and son ran wildly, running out for more than 300 meters, and they could no longer see the torches behind them, so they found a hidden house to hide.

Ma Shiying had already woken up at this time, wiped the sweat on his face and asked, "What's going on?" Why did Lu Siye shout the emperor's order to kill you, my father and son? It must be those guys from the Donglin Party, they can't fight the old man, so they want to get rid of the old man by pretending to pass on the holy decree! This is rebellion! The old man is going to see the emperor, the emperor definitely doesn't know about it, and the emperor will give the old man justice! ”

Ma Shiying didn't believe that the emperor really wanted to kill him at this time, but he didn't blame Ma Shiying for thinking so, there was no precedent for the emperor in the Ming Dynasty to launch a coup d'état to kill the ministers. The monarchy of the Ming Dynasty developed to the extreme, no matter how much power the subordinates held in their hands, they were like three-year-old children in the face of the supreme monarchy, and they were powerless to fight back.
