After Ma Cheng finished speaking, Zhu Yousong's face was a little bad, he had suffered a lot in the past few years, and he couldn't eat when he first arrived in Huai'an. Of course, this is all secondary, Zhu Yousong's most disgusted thing is to be used, you Lu Zhenfei made a fortune in order to be promoted one step earlier, but Zhu Yousong lost points in legal theory. You must know that Zhu Yousong was able to ascend the throne because of his legal advantages, and now that you Lu Zhenfei want to destroy the legal theory, Zhu Yousong naturally can't agree.

Lu Zhenfei saw that King Fu's face became more and more gloomy, knowing that the big thing was not good, but he didn't expect this Ma Cheng's tongue to be so sharp, and he made himself so passive in a few words. However, Lu Zhenfei is not afraid, he is from Qingliu Imperial History, and he has not lost a verbal battle, Ma Cheng said that he would take his son Ma Shiying under the knife.

Lu Zhenfei ignored Ma Cheng and stood up to shoot at Ma Shiying: "His Royal Highness King Fu, the minister is completely thinking about the Ming Dynasty, and the minister's loyalty can be revealed!" But Ma Shiying is different, Ma Shiying went to Pukou to meet Shi Kefa before, and heard that they conspired to get rid of King Fu and support King Gui, isn't this something else? ”

Lu Zhenfei originally thought that he had caught Ma Shiying's pigtails, and he would definitely be able to kill him this time, but he didn't expect that Ma Shiying, like his son Ma Cheng, was a shameless person without faith.

Ma Shiying had already prepared for today's situation, and when she heard Lu Zhenfei say this, she hurriedly bowed down and said: "Holy Lord, the minister did go to see Shi Kefa, and Shi Kefa did say that he would support King Gui!" ”

Lu Zhenfei was overjoyed when he heard Ma Shiying admit it, and Zhu Yousong was also very unhappy in his heart, so you Ma Shiying also stepped on two boats, but Zhu Yousong now has to rely on Ma Shiying, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, this king and Uncle Gui are both of the bloodline of the Divine Sect, and everyone is the same!" ”

Ma Shiying heard that Zhu Yousong was a little unhappy, but Ma Shiying just smiled slightly, and then said: "Holy Lord, although the minister went to see Shi Kefa, but the minister went to listen to Shi Kefa's lawlessness for the Holy Lord!" ”

Ma Shiying took out a letter from his sleeve at this time, and then handed it to Zhu Yousong with both hands: "Holy Lord, please see, this is Shi Kefa's secret letter to the minister, which says that the Holy Seven cannot stand!" If it weren't for the minister going to Pukou to see him, how could he give this kind of thing to the minister? ”

This letter is very long, and the approximate meaning is that Shi Kefa scolded King Fu, saying that he had seven major sins, and he must not be made emperor, and the seven charges were "unfilial piety, abuse, interference, not studying, greed, lewdness, and alcoholism".

Don't say seven of these seven crimes, even if they are put on ordinary people, they are enough for him to be ruined, Zhu Yousong saw that Shi Kefa degraded himself to nothing, and he was as angry as Wu Lao Er next door, and he trembled.

However, Zhu Yousong was not stupid enough to directly scold Shi Kefa in public, Zhu Yousong took a long time to smooth the anger in his chest, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, although what the Shi Pavilion said is not right, it has passed, and everyone will cooperate sincerely against the rogue in the future!" ”

After Zhu Yousong finished speaking, he said to Lu Zhenfei: "Lord Lu, Huai'an is located in the north-south traffic hub, and it is really inseparable from Lord Lu here, so you don't have to go to Fengyang with us, stay here to guard Huai'an!" ”

Lu Zhenfei's face was full of ashes when he heard Zhu Yousong say this, he knew that he had been completely excluded from the core of power, but what can you do? The political struggle is so cruel, either you die or I die!

Zhu Yousong's attitude towards Ma Shiying was a lot more enthusiastic: "Ma Aiqing, this king knows your hard work, Ma Aiqing will gather the team, let's get up and go to Fengyang tomorrow!" ”

Ma Shiying was overjoyed when she heard Zhu Yousong say this, and hurriedly bowed down to make arrangements. This meeting basically decided the political situation of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Lu Zhenfei, the first person to support it, was squeezed out of the core of the court by Ma Shiying and Ma Cheng's father and son, and Ma Shiying became the first civil official under Zhu Yousong as he wished.

After the meeting, Ma Shiying, in the name of the governor of Fengyang, officially sent a letter to Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, announcing his support for Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu.

Ma Shiying's letter was delivered to the Nanjing Town Guard Mansion on April 23, and Han Zanzhou was shocked when he saw Ma Shiying's book, but he didn't expect that King Fu's energy was so great that he would buy all the four towns.

Things are already like this, Han Zanzhou has no choice but to find all the ministers left behind in Nanjing, and everyone will discuss what to do.

Now the bigwigs who remain in Nanjing include Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Jiang Yueguang, the secretary of the Hanlin Academy, Li Zhan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Weijing, the superintendent of the imperial history, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of the Bo Liu Kongzhao.

When everyone heard that Ma Shiying actually united the four towns to support Zhu Yousong, the king of Lifu, the house was very quiet for a while. These people are all civilian officials except for Xu Hongji, who has military power in his hands, and now Ma Shiying and Sizhen have a total of hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands, if they don't agree to support King Fu, then Nanjing will immediately be in flames.

Sincerity Uncle Liu Kongzhao sneered in his heart when he saw the appearance of these people in the house, and asked you to support King Fu at that time, but now you are in a hurry.

Liu Kongzhao is a direct descendant of Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen was born in eastern Zhejiang, and Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the Huaisi Hero Group could not urinate in a pot at all, and Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang also had many fierce party battles. However, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who had the last laugh, and in the end, Liu Bowen died of illness and Li Shanchang was killed, which can be regarded as an end to the party struggle in the early years of Hongwu.

Although Liu Bowen died, the Liang Zi of the Liu family and Huaisi heroes stayed, and the sincerity of the past dynasties was outside the Nanjing noble circle, and Liu Kongzhao of this generation was the same.

Liu Kongzhao has never looked down on Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, so at that time, Xu Hongji proposed to follow the Donglin Party to support Queen Lu, and Liu Kongzhao immediately proposed to support King Fu. However, at that time, Liu Kongzhao had no power or power, and no one in the court listened to him.

But now it's different, Fuwang Zhu Yousong has won the support of hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangbei, and Liu Kongzhao's confidence is also enough.

Liu Kongzhao stood up and said with a smile: "Several adults, Wei Guogong, what are you waiting for now that it's like this?" Why don't you go to the riverside to greet King Fu? Half a month ago, it was nothing that everyone had an opinion, but now that the status of the monarch and the minister has been decided, it would be disrespectful not to greet him! ”

Liu Kongzhao is right, half a month ago it was still the audition stage, and it was okay to say anything, but now that the emperor has decided, you are against the entire Ming Dynasty!

Li Zhan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was the same year as Ma Shiying, and he originally supported King Fu, but now he is even more excited when he hears the news: "What Uncle Cheng said is very right, everyone will discuss how to welcome King Fu!" ”

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, was originally a wall grass, and when the Donglin Party was strong, he stood on the side of the Donglin Party, and now when he saw that King Fu was about to ascend the throne, he quickly stood up and said: "What Sincerity Bo said is very right, all of us Nanjing nobles support King Fu's accession to the throne!" ”

Liu Kongzhao looked at this soft bone and didn't speak, Xu Hongji's performance was expected by him, and today it mainly depends on the decisions of the bigwigs of the Donglin Party.

Liu Kongzhao asked Zhang Shenyan, who was sitting in the first place, "Zhang Tianguan, what is your opinion?" ”

Zhang Shenyan was very embarrassed in his heart, he really didn't agree with King Fu's accession to the throne, but what can he do now? There was no way, Zhang Shenyan had no choice but to say: "Can you wait until the Shi Pavilion Department comes back?" ”

Still waiting for Shi Kefa to come back? Liu Kongzhao said: "Zhang Tianguan, you can think clearly, you are a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, if you don't go to greet King Fu at the first time, you can bear this big disrespectful charge!" ”

Zhang Shenyan was very embarrassed to hear Liu Kongzhao say this, originally their Donglin Party wanted to support King Lu, but King Lu's bloodline was too far away, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying decided to support King Gui after discussing in Pukou. After the Donglin Party people knew it, they felt that it was also an option, although the most lovely King Lu could not be the emperor, but it was okay to change to King Gui, mainly because it was easy to say that King Fu who had an enmity with the Donglin Party was not the emperor, so after Shi Kefa came back to support King Gui, everyone in Donglin agreed.

But thinking that the plan has not changed quickly, Ma Shiying can be so shameless, an agreement has been reached and it can be changed temporarily, and now it is impossible to support King Lu, King Gui is still far away in Hunan, these Donglin Party has no military power in their hands, it seems that they can only support King Fu.

Zhang Shenyan sighed and said, "In that case, we will support the Fu Fan to ascend the throne!" ”

With Zhang Shenyan taking the lead, several officials of the Donglin Party began to express their support for King Fu, and Liu Kongzhao was very happy to see that the big event had come to pass, and discussed with everyone to cross the river on April 27 to welcome the arrival of the new Son of Heaven.

A few Donglin parties came out of the town guard mansion listlessly, this time it can be regarded as a complete defeat, Gao Hongtu didn't speak after he came out, and went home after saying goodbye to a few colleagues.

As soon as Gao Hongtu arrived at the door, the housekeeper came out and said that Master Qian had been waiting for a long time.

Master Qian is Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi was originally dismissed and returned home in the early years of Chongzhen, and has been at home all the time.

Qian Qianyi has been here for a while, and he received news that Jiangbei Ma Shiying has supported King Fu, so he came to find his good friend Gao Hongtu for verification.

Qian Qianyi saw Gao Hongtu entering the house and hurriedly asked, "Ziyou, how is it?" Can there be results? ”

Seeing Qian Qianyi's concerned face, Gao Hongtu sighed and said, "There are already results." ”

"Greet the vassal king?"

"Fu Fan!"

Qian Qianyi was taken aback when he heard Gao Hongtu say this, King Fu's accession to the throne represents the loss of power of the Donglin Party, after all, when the old King Fu did not become the prince, the Donglin Party was making it bad.

Qian Qianyi sat on the chair dumbfounded, and said to himself naturally: "How is this good? ”

Gao Hongtu waited for Qian Qianyi to calm down and then said: "The Son of Heaven has been established, this is not something we can compete with, but don't be pessimistic!" After all, we are powerful here in the southern capital, so if King Fu wants to sit firmly in the country, we also need to cooperate! ”

Qian Qianyi is also an old fritter, and he only reacted when he heard Gao Hongtu say this, right! You can rely on those generals as an emperor, but don't you need us scholars to govern the country?

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hats, and then went out to find his servant and asked him to go to the market to buy * official clothes, Qian Qianyi thought that although he was dismissed, he had already been pardoned by the emperor, and this time he just took the opportunity to go to the river to welcome the Son of Heaven to come out and be an official again!
