"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is he still alive?" Zhang Shenyan snatched the letter from Lu Daqi's hand and read it.

"This is a letter sent by Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huaiyang, saying that His Majesty is about to arrive in Huai'an from the south by sea, and it should not be wrong." Shi Kefa laughed.

"It's okay now, no longer have to worry about King Fu's accession to the throne or being a prisoner, since Your Majesty is still here, King Fu will go so cool!" Lu Daqi laughed.

Everyone present also showed smiles on their faces, everyone present was a member of the Donglin Party, and they all pretended to be righteous men and gentlemen, and they were all Qingliu. Qingliu, naturally, he wants to talk about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, although many of them actually don't like Chongzhen, such as Qian Qianyi, who was demoted and dismissed, but when he heard the news that the king was still alive, he didn't dare not show joy.

"Come on, go to the banquet, let's have a good feast today, don't get drunk and don't return!" Shi Kefa, who has been frowning sadly these days, showed a smile on his face, and shouted to the outside, since His Majesty is alive, these bad things will pass.

The garrison mansion was heavily guarded inside and outside the house, and the original garrison soldiers were replaced by Liu Liangzuo's subordinates.

His Royal Highness King Fu was tired from the journey, and he had already rested with the beautiful maid in his arms.

The main hall of the house is brightly lit, staggered, and the laughter is shocking.

Ma Shiying was in the first place, the eunuch Lu Jiude and the Nanjing garrison eunuch Han Zanzhou were around, and dozens of high-ranking officials and nobles gathered together.

King Fu's accession to the throne is a foregone conclusion, Ma Shiying as the biggest hero will definitely be reused, although he may not be able to become the first assistant of the cabinet, but the position of the second assistant is a certainty, in the face of the favored ministers of this new dynasty, Nanjing's civil and military forces are naturally unwilling to give up the opportunity to tie the knot.

Ma Shiying knows his own situation, although the messenger sent by Lu Zhenfei to report the news was killed by Gao Jie, but it is not guaranteed that Lu Zhenfei will send other messengers, the news that Chongzhen is still alive cannot be concealed for a long time, what he should do now is to win over the civil and military forces in Nanjing, and put King Fu on the throne of the emperor as soon as possible.

Therefore, Ma Shiying did not refuse to come to serve the civil and military ministers, personally received them with weight, and left them for a feast.

Seeing that Ma Shiying was so amiable, the ministers were all grateful, and flattering words were sent one after another, showing their loyalty to Ma Shiying.

After three rounds of drinking, the hall began a song and dance performance, inviting a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River, dancing beautifully, singing movingly, and the officials present all looked at the color and soul.

Ma Shiying took the opportunity to walk out of the back hall and beckoned, and staff members Lin Cong and Liu Zeqing followed.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the last general sent a post to Uncle Ruyi of Wei Guogong and Uncle Xin Cheng, but they just sent someone to send some gifts, but I refused to come." Lin Cong said to Ma Shiying.

"Hmph, these people really don't know how to lift!" Liu Zeqing scolded indignantly.

"They have already visited King Fu during the day and made their position clear. The lords are all super-grade princes, so they are naturally reserved. Ma Shiying said with a smile.

"Guogong, you are so willing!" Liu Zeqing drooled with envy on the side.

"Hmph, as long as you work hard, when King Fu ascends the throne, at least one hereditary marquis can't run, so you don't have to envy others." Ma Shiying glanced at Liu Zeqing and said with a smile.

"Lord Xie Zhongcheng, no, Elder Xie Ma Ge!" Liu Zeqing shouted excitedly.

Ma Shiying shook his head, "By the way, what are they doing Shi Kefa?" ”

"According to the report of the people I sent, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan, and Lu Daqi went to Shi Kefa's mansion and closed the door to discuss something." Liu Zeqing said.

"Hmph, I must be discussing whether or not to let His Royal Highness King Fu ascend the throne immediately, some people just don't give up!" Ma Shiying sighed.

"Although they are in high positions and powers, they have no military power in their hands, what are they afraid of?" Liu Zeqing said disapprerovingly.

"It's not that simple!" Ma Shiying shook his head and said, he knew in his heart the weight of Shi Kefa and the others, if it was not for their support, King Fu would be unjustified as emperor.

"Closely monitor the Shi Kefa Mansion, if there is any trouble, report me immediately!" Ma Shiying commanded, waving his hand to let Liu Zeqing leave. After thinking about it, he didn't go back to the banquet hall, but turned around and went into the study, he had to think about it, what to do!

When she arrived at the study, Ma Shiying sat on a chair, waved off the waiting servants, and thought about it alone.

The current situation is already obvious, he is racing against time, maybe when, the news that Chongzhen is still alive will reach Nanjing, and things will be extremely difficult at that time, so it is necessary to let King Fu ascend the throne as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

However, how can Shi Kefa and others spit out, and how can they gain an overwhelming advantage in the court?

The Qingliu ministers of the Donglin Party were all gathered under Shi Kefa's command, and there was no time to win them over, and now they could only count on the support of Zhao Zhilong, Liu Kongzhao and other nobles.

Xu Jiujue, Duke of Wei, is the head of Nanjing's ministers, Zhao Zhilong, as the garrison of Nanjing, holds the military power of the Nanjing Guard, and Liu Kongzhao serves as the governor of Caojiang and controls the Nanjing Naval Army.

"Lord Zhongcheng." I don't know how long it took, Ma Shiying suddenly heard Liu Zeqing shouting outside.

"What's wrong?" Ma Shiying hurriedly sat up straight and ordered Liu Zeqing to come in.

"The subordinates reported that the ministers in Shi Kefa's mansion have not come out, and now they are actually feasting and drinking with us." Liu Zeqing said.

"Is the message exact?" Ma Shiying's expression became serious.

"It was said by a servant of the Shi Mansion, the news must be correct."

"Not good! At this time, where did they have the heart to feast and drink, could it be that they knew the news that Chongzhen was still alive? Ma Shiying asked.

"Can't you? Jiangbei has our people to strictly investigate, and I also sent more than ten ships to patrol the river, once I found Huai'an's messenger and immediately captured it, how could the news come over? Liu Zeqing was puzzled.

"Hmph, the Yangtze River is so wide, how can it be water-tight? We've got to make a final plan. You immediately send people to guard the intersections outside Shi Kefa's mansion, and once you find that someone from Shi Mansion is out, you will immediately take it down for interrogation. Ma Shiying ordered.

"Yes!" Liu Zeqing knew that the situation was urgent, so he agreed to go out.

Ma Shiying thought about it and ordered someone to call his confidant Lin Cong.

"Mr. Lin, you go to Xinchengbo and Ruyibo respectively, and tell Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao that as long as they approve of King Fu's immediate accession to the throne tomorrow, they can be crowned princes! But to put it mildly, you know? Ma Shiying said to Lin Cong.

The situation is already very critical, it seems that the only way to force King Fu to ascend the throne is to use force, Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao's soldiers and horses are the only variable in Nanjing City, as long as they are co-opted or they remain neutral, no one can stop King Fu from ascending the throne!
