Chapter 161: The Battle of Nanjing (4)
On the street, these fireworks women openly showed their love, which attracted a cheer from the surrounding citizens, and several good deeds also shouted: "Big hero, when you encounter such a good thing, how many will you marry home?" ”
Ma Cheng didn't expect the Ming Dynasty woman to be so generous, although she was a fireworks woman, she dared to openly show her love on the street, which made Ma Cheng's little heart flutter and beat hard.
Ma Cheng's face turned red, everyone thought he was embarrassed, those fireworks women had never seen such an innocent man, they covered their mouths and laughed one by one, and the surrounding citizens who watched the excitement also laughed.
The people on the street were happy, only the master and servant in the restaurant were not happy, and the boy saw that those fireworks women were so shameless, his face turned blue with anger, and he scolded: "These cheap women are as shameless as Liu Ru!" Can such a thing be said in public? ”
Seeing that Childe was jealous, the little servant smiled and said, "Childe, are you afraid that you are eating the vinegar of these cheap women?" ”
The boy was told by the servant, his face was flushed, and he scolded with a smile: "You dead girl, be careful Miss, I tear your mouth!" ”
The master and servant are fighting here, and Ma Cheng and his party have already left Huaiqing Bridge. Seeing Ma Cheng leaving, the boy sighed with disappointment: "Hey, what if you are jealous?" The slave family and him are still strangers! ”
The servant saw that the master was sad, and hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Miss, you can go home and tell the master, if you are not a young man, you will not marry!" People can choose their own husbands, why can't you, Miss? ”
"Mei Niang, you don't understand, I heard that Ma Gongzi is married, and my father will never let the slave family give a concubine. And my father is not on good terms with Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others, my father will never agree to this marriage! ”
The servant knew that his master had reached the age of sixteen, and several of his students had also come to propose, but the master had felt sorry for his concubine and had not agreed. But it's not a way to drag it out like this, and what should come will definitely come. The servant was the master's personal maid, and it was her destiny to marry with the master. That woman doesn't want her husband to be a big hero? Even as a maid, she is the same.
She had to fight for her own fate, and the maid Mei Niang whispered in the ear of the young lady: "Miss, the slave maid has a plan to make the young lady get her wish!" ”
Hearing that her maid had an idea, the young lady hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, how can I make my father change his mind and marry the slave family to Ma Lang?" ”
"Miss, you can learn from Cui Yingying, how about a story about the West Chamber?"
When the young lady heard the maid encouraging her to make a private decision for life, her face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly scolded: "You are a dead girl, are you crazy?" This let my father know that he had to kill the slave family! ”
"Miss, didn't the lord make trouble in the city in order to marry Liu Ru? Now that you are the concubine of the master, what's wrong with choosing your own son-in-law? Mei Niang can't wait to become a matchmaker immediately, so that she can marry a big hero with Miss, so she spares no effort to encourage on the side.
The young lady thought that her father ignored the etiquette back then, and used the gift of the main room to marry Liu Ru when her mother was still alive, which made her mother seriously ill in Changshu's hometown.
The young lady also gave up in order to pursue her love, gritted her teeth and asked, "Mei Niang, what should I do next?" Can't you and I come directly to the door and say that you want to be a concubine for Ma Lang, right? How can you live like that? ”
Mei Niang was dumbfounded when she heard Miss say this, yes! You can't come to the door to sell yourself! In the story of the West Chamber, Zhang Junrui also has a friend General Baima to help, but now he has nothing to do with Ma Lang, what can I do?
Mei Niang thought for a long time and said: "Miss, it's okay, anyway, now that the master is busy with government affairs and rarely goes home, Liu Ru doesn't dare to care about Miss." Miss, why don't you go out on the streets every day, maybe you have a chance to meet Ma Lang? ”
The young lady could only nod her head in agreement when she heard Mei Niang say this, the master and servant did not understand the world, and they both thought that everything in this world was as described in the West Chamber, and lovers would eventually become married, but the real world was cruel, and the development of things later completely exceeded the expectations of the master and servant.
Ma Cheng didn't know that there was a beautiful woman crying and shouting to give him a scourge, and at this time, he was finally leaving the crowded crowd with his own soldiers and escorting Ma Shiying and Ma Luan home. When he got off the horse at the door of the house, Ma Cheng put away a few Jinpas that were sent to him, with the woman's address and name on them, leaving these to have the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze in the future.
Ma Shiying saw Ma Cheng's actions and knew what this son was doing, Ma Shiying snorted and said: "Cheng'er, clean up and come to the study, I have something to tell you for my father!" "Passion
Ma Cheng agreed, went to the gatehouse and took off his armor with the help of his own soldiers, changed into a regular uniform, then washed his face and hurried to the study.
Walking into the study, Ma Cheng found that in addition to Ma Shiying and Ma Luan, there was another person, Yang Wencong, the defeated general who had just entered the city in the morning. At this time, Yang Wencong had lost the decadence of the morning, his face was washed and his clothes were changed, and he completely returned to his sanctimonious appearance.
Ma Cheng stepped forward to salute his father, brother, and uncle, and then sat at the bottom and asked, "Dad, what did you have to say in front of the palace gate just now?" ”
When Ma Shiying heard Ma Cheng say this, he first asked with a calm face: "Ma Cheng, who gave you such the courage to make decisions and support the new emperor without the consent of your father?" ”
Ma Cheng knew that his Lao Tzu was very thin-skinned, probably busy with the enthronement ceremony a few days ago, and he didn't have time to scold himself, but now that the matter is over, he naturally wants to exercise his father's rights.
Ma Cheng, as a son, naturally wanted to give Lao Tzu face, and when he heard Ma Shiying say this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Dad, son, this is all for you!" Think about it, even if you retreat to Hangzhou, what else can you do? Hangzhou is the base camp of the Donglin Party, and King Lu is in Hangzhou, do you think that according to the urine nature of these people of the Donglin Party, you can still be the first assistant? My son estimates that the city will not let you in! But there are many advantages to staying here in the southern capital, and the southern capital city concentrates the tax and grain in the southeast half of the wall, and in addition to the fortification of the city, it can be defended for a year and a half. That's why the son decided to support the new emperor to ascend the throne here, so that you are still the first assistant to your father, and this government still has to listen to your father! ”
Ma Cheng is talking about the fate of Ma Shiying in history, Ma Shiying because the bottom is too stinky, he went to Yangzhou King Lu and did not let him enter the city at all, there is no way Ma Shiying can only flee to Ningbo, and the Lu Wang regime here also does not want to see Ma Shiying, and finally Ma Shiying has no choice but to wander around to fight guerrillas, and finally was caught and executed.
Ma Shiying only eased his anger a little after listening to Ma Cheng's explanation, he didn't know the pros and cons, but he was angry that Ma Cheng took him into the palace without his permission, which made Ma Shiying lose face.
Yang Wencong, who was on the side, picked up a life today with the help of Ma Cheng, and now saw Ma Cheng kneeling on the ground and hurriedly defended him: "Big brother, although Zhonghe did something inappropriate, isn't it for the sake of the eldest brother?" The eldest brother will forgive Ma Cheng once for the sake of his brother-in-law's face! ”
Of course, Ma Shiying didn't really want to clean up Ma Cheng, and now when he heard Yang Wencong say this, he borrowed the donkey from the slope, nodded and said: "Rebel son, get up, remember that you must discuss anything with your father in the future, or let your father know very passively?" ”
Ma Cheng secretly scolded the old guy in his heart for being cheap and behaved, can you become the Duke of Shu without yourself? Ma Cheng saluted and then stood up again and sat down.
Yang Wencong was originally the governor of Songjiang, but now that the territory and army have been lost, if it weren't for Ma Shiying to protect him, he would have been imprisoned completely. Although he is not in prison now, his official position is gone, so he naturally has no qualifications to go to the court, so Yang Wencong is very interested in what happened today.
"Big brother, what happened in the court today? Why did the eldest brother come back with a lot of worry? ”
Ma Shiying sighed and said: "This is the main reason why the old man complains about Cheng'er, the person who supports the emperor has chosen the wrong person, this new monarch is not good at stubble, he just ascended the throne and began to play balance!" In addition to letting Qian Qianyi enter the cabinet, yesterday the emperor also ordered the reassignment of the six departments to the ministry, most of these people are from Donglin! With such an appointment, this emperor is far above the emperor! ”
The emperor is Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong trusted Ma Shiying very much after he took the throne, and Ma Shiying was completely entrusted with the management of major affairs in the court, so Ma Shiying was able to eliminate the forces of the East Forestry Party in the DPRK in just one year. But this Zhu Lunkui is different, Zhu Lunkui's ascension to the throne is completely the result of Ma Cheng's support, but this emperor supported the Donglin Party at the beginning of his reign, in addition to giving the Donglin Party a cabinet name, he also replaced the most important six ministries with Donglin Party members.
You must know that now Ma Shiying is an auxiliary minister, overseeing national affairs, and now he has a group of opposition parties as extremely powerful people, isn't this giving Ma Shiying eye medicine?
Ma Cheng didn't know about the dirty things in the court, he heard Ma Shiying say this and persuaded on the side: "Dad, since this emperor is not good, how about we change it?" Wait for my son to go to the city to see if there are any clans that haven't run away, isn't it okay to support an emperor? ”
Ma Cheng's words made the three people in the room faint, what do you think the emperor is? Is it your general? If it doesn't work, just change it?
Ma Luan had just been promoted to the vice-capital of Zhengsanpin Imperial History today, and his heart was full of gratitude to the emperor, and he stood up and scolded when he heard Ma Cheng say something rebellious: "Ma Cheng, did you say that the emperor would be changed?" Do you still have a little loyalty? Is what you said in the main hall just now a fart? ”
Ma Cheng was also very unhappy when he heard his eldest brother scolding him, he fought to the death in order to make you an official, but now you are saying this?
"Hmph, what's wrong with the fart? Father, eldest brother, uncle, look at what it has become now, this emperor is still supported by our family, but now he is beginning to guard against our family, according to the meaning of his son, it is better to enter the palace and kill this emperor, and let the emperor get it in exchange for your father! ”
