It's not that Ma Cheng didn't consider Yue Qijie as the governor of Zhejiang, but Yue Qijie is Ma Shiying's brother-in-law, and he lost half of Henan two years ago with Yue Qijie, and now he is appointed as the governor of Zhejiang.

However, Yue Qijie is indeed a qualified candidate for this governor, Yue Qijie Wanli 34 years of people, Zhixian, Zhizhou, Daotai, and the governor have all done it, and the administrative experience is very rich, and Yue Qijie is also Ma Cheng's own uncle, and there is no problem with loyalty, but Ma Cheng is afraid that those ministers in the court will not agree.

Although Emperor Shaowu Zhu Lunkui was supported by Ma Shiying's father and son, and Ma Shiying also became an auxiliary minister in the cabinet because of his merits, Ma Shiying did not say anything in the court, and the problem was Ruan Dacheng.

Ruan Dacheng is recorded in history as a villain among villains, this person has no moral bottom line at all, and betrayal is like drinking cold water in his eyes. In the early stage of Hongguang, Ruan Dacheng relied on Ma Shiying's talent to serve as the squire of the military department, but after taking office, he took advantage of his special relationship with Emperor Hongguang to rise to the top, and finally Ma Shiying couldn't control him.

At this time in history, the Qing army went south, and the contradiction between Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng did not develop further, but Ma Cheng repelled the Qing army in this time and space, which made the contradiction between Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng hidden under the surface. At this time, the Donglin Party was attacked too hard by the two of them, and it could no longer form a substantial threat, so Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng had turned against each other in the Shaowu court and became the main enemy.

The split within the eunuch party relieved the Donglin Party, and at the same time, Emperor Zhu Lunkui gave more support to Qian Qianyi in order to guard against Ma Shiying, which could put the court in a stable situation, but this stability was on the surface, but inside it was an undercurrent surging.

The first few Yue Ma Cheng wanted to get a political envoy from Nanzhili but couldn't, which already shows that Ma Shiying is already in a weak position in the court, and now he wants to give Yue Qijie a more important governor of Zhejiang, Ma Cheng estimates that he will definitely not be able to pass in the court.

Ma Cheng told Yue Qijie about his worries, and at the same time explained: "Uncle, you have been gone for two years now, and the court is no longer the same, it is no problem for my nephew to recommend my uncle, but I am afraid that Ruan Dacheng and Qian Qianyi will not agree!" ”

Yue Qijie didn't worry much when he heard Ma Cheng say this, but said with a smile: "The old man knows this situation, the virtuous nephew just needs to recommend the old man on the table, and there is an old man in the court!" ”

Ma Cheng was very curious when he heard Yue Qijie say this, why did this old guy still have his own way in the court? It is true that Yue Qijie's family is a scholarly family, but there are no big names, and the only one who can be relied on is his brother-in-law Ma Shiying. Thinking of this, Ma Cheng asked, "Uncle, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"It's very simple, just ask the virtuous nephew to send Huang Daozhou and others to the southern capital and hand them over to the emperor!"

"What? Give them to the emperor? Isn't this a return to the mountains? ”

Ma Cheng was going to send the Donglin Party of Huang Daozhou to Nanjing, but Ma Cheng arranged to sink into the canal with Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, on the road and cause a traffic accident on the canal, which could not only solve the threat to Zhu Lunkui's throne, but also solve the threat of Ma Shiying.

Huang Daozhou and these people are all capable officers of the Donglin Party, and they can't be killed if they stay in the hands of Ma Cheng, and they can't be let go. Now Zhu Lunkui vigorously supports the Donglin Party to fight against Ma Shiying, if this gang of families

When the gang arrived in Nanjing, it would definitely increase the strength of the Donglin Party, so Ma Cheng was ready to do it on the canal, and threw these stinky old nine into the canal to feed the fish and shrimp.

Now Yue Qijie wants to send these guys to the emperor safely, isn't this increasing the strength of the Donglin Party? Ma Cheng can guarantee the ticket, as long as Huang Daozhou and they arrive in Nanjing, they will be entrusted with important tasks immediately, and in turn become the mainstay of restricting Ma Cheng's father and son.

Yue Qijie saw that Ma Cheng was anxious, but smiled and said: "What the virtuous nephew said is very right, it is to give these Donglin Party to the emperor!" ”

Yue Qijie took a sip of tea and explained: "Virtuous nephew, now your father is already in a weak position in the court, and he has become the weakest party under the joint suppression of Ruan Dacheng and the Donglin Party!" But what happened to Huang Daozhou and the others when they arrived in Nandu? It is nothing more than a great increase in the power of the Donglin Party, although it is not very beneficial to your father, but who do you think is the most disadvantageous? ”

Needless to say? Now the imperial court is divided into three forces, the strongest is the Ma Party, the second strongest is the Dong Lin Party, and the weakest is the Ruan Party. In order to protect himself, Ruan Dacheng also wanted to seize the rights of Ma Shiying's first assistant, and had already joined forces with the Donglin Party to deal with Ma Shiying.

But it was different for Huang Daozhou's gang of guys to join the battle, these guys were framed by Ruan Dacheng and lost their official positions, and they had no chance of relief with Ruan Dacheng. But the current leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi, is different, Qian Qianyi is an old turtle, he used to be a turtle very well, and there is no direct conflict with Ruan Dacheng, so he can have a chance to join forces with Ruan Dacheng.

But Huang Daozhou is different, Huang Daozhou's status is far above Qian Qianyi, so he has to return to the southern capital, and he must oppose Ruan Dacheng to the death, and at the same time, the power of the Donglin Party is strengthened, and the first one to deal with is the weakest Ruan Party. As long as Ruan Dacheng is not really crazy, he must return to the Ma Party to fight against the Donglin Party, so that Ma Shiying will immediately become the most important force in the DPRK again with Ruan Dacheng's support, and Ma Cheng, who leads the troops to fight abroad, will be much easier.

Ma Cheng is not Wuxia Ameng now, after several years of officialdom experience, he immediately understood Yue Qijie's thoughts, but he didn't expect that Lao Jianghu was powerful, and he could change the power structure of the court with a group of dying people.

Ma Cheng clenched his fists and said: "It seems that my uncle is still powerful, and my little nephew will arrange it, please rest assured!" ”

Yue Qijie was very happy to see Ma Cheng accept his suggestion. Whether or not he becomes the governor of Zhejiang this time is very crucial to him, and it is the key for him to re-enter the officialdom. Of course, Yue Qijie is not all thinking about Ma Shiying, it is true that Yue Qijie is Ma Shiying's relative, but it is still too far from Ma Shiying's henchmen.

Yue Qijie is just a person, and the highest official position is only the governor, but there are a lot of Jinshi under Ma Shiying, led by Li Zhan, Zhang Jie, Yang Weiyuan and others who have traversed the feudal territory, and their reputation and qualifications are much higher than Yue Qijie. Yue Qijie knows the gap between himself and these guys, even if he returns to Nanjing, he is just like Yang Wencong, going to Taichang Temple and other idle jobs to retire. Yue Qijie is sixty-eight years old this year, and he still wants to be a minister in his lifetime, so Yue Qijie decided to stay in the place.

In the Ming Dynasty, the governor belonged to the central officials, and he had to hang the rank of waiter, so as long as Yue Qijie became the governor, he could be regarded as a deputy ministerial-level cadre, and he was only one step away from the ministerial-level level, which was the main reason why Yue Qijie wanted to be the governor of Zhejiang.

After Ma Cheng sent Yue Qijie away, he immediately summoned his two henchmen, Chen Zilong and Wang Xian. Ma Cheng had already arranged to send Huang Daozhou and other twenty-four high-ranking officials of the Donglin Party to Nanjing tomorrow, and at the same time sink these guys into the canal halfway. The location of Ma Cheng has been chosen, and it is at the wharf of Wujiang County, not far from Suzhou, so that Qi Biaojia, who is also from the Donglin Party, will carry this black pot.

Wang Xian was ruthless and very much in favor of Ma Cheng doing this, but Chen Zilong was born in the Donglin Party, and he also had a special identity, that is, a disciple of Huang Daozhou.

The relationship between Huang Daozhou and Chen Zilong is different from Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong listened to Qian Qianyi's lectures back then, and he is not a formal master and apprentice, and the relationship between Chen Zilong and Qian Qianyi is not very good, so the relationship is not very deep. But Zodiac Zhou is different, Zodiac Zhou is the deputy chief examiner of Chongzhen for ten years, and this year is Chen Zilong's entrance examination, so Zodiac Zhou is Chen Zilong's teacher and Chen Zilong's officialdom leader.

At the same time, Huang Daozhou also has the grace of introducing Chen Zilong, after Chen Zilong resigned and returned home, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, and it was Huang Daozhou who recommended Chen Zilong to the emperor, so that Chen Zilong could go out of the mountain to serve as an important official position in the military department.

With these relationships, Chen Zilong was grateful to Huang Daozhou, and now knew that Ma Cheng was going to kill his teacher, so Chen Zilong opposed Ma Cheng doing this. But what kind of person is Ma Cheng, and what has been decided, where can Chen Zilong oppose it. Therefore, no matter how Ma Cheng objected, he still ordered Wang Xian to implement it as planned.

Now that Chen Zilong heard that Ma Cheng had revised his previous order, only killing Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, and Huang Daozhou and other twenty-four Donglin Party officials were to be sent to Nanjing safely, Chen Zilong was very grateful to Ma Cheng, and quickly knelt down to thank Ma Cheng for the teacher.

Ma Cheng naturally wanted to seize all the opportunities to buy people's hearts, Ma Cheng stood up and helped Chen Zilong and said: "Mr. Chen, the kid thought about it carefully just now, but he still couldn't bear to let Mr. Chen turn his back on his teacher, so he decided to send Huang Daozhou and the others to Nandu safely!" ”

Chen Zilong knew that as long as Huang Daozhou arrived in Nanjing safely, he would definitely become Qian Qianyi's helper, which would make Ma Shiying's party suppressed. This is completely Ma Cheng betraying his father to help him, Chen Zilong saw Ma Cheng thinking about him like this, so he was naturally grateful, and kowtowed to Ma Cheng again and again and said: "Zilong knows the difficulties of the lord, please rest assured, Zilong will live up to the lord in the future!" ”

Ma Cheng also pretended to be very moved, patted Chen Zilong's shoulder and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen, go and tell your teacher the good news!" ”

Chen Zilong agreed to go out, but Wang Xian was very unhappy in the house.

"Master Hou, Huang Daozhou and others are too famous, and now the emperor wants to unite with the Donglin Party to suppress the old lady, and now send Huang Daozhou to the southern capital, isn't this causing trouble to the old lady?"

Looking at Chen Zilong's distant figure, Ma Cheng smiled and said: "Wang Xian, you are still young, you will have the opportunity to learn more from Yue Qijie in the future, you are the old fritter of officialdom!" ”

Wang Xian was confused by Ma Cheng's words, he knew that Yue Qijie had come to see Ma Cheng just now, why did this old guy change his mind about Ma Cheng? Although Wang Xian opposed letting Huang Daozhou and others go, Ma Cheng was the lord, so Wang Xian had no choice but to take the order and go down to arrange for the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Department to change the steps of action.
