After Jiang Pengju finished speaking, he saw Zhu Jiang and Ma Rufeng's anxious appearance and laughed a few times: "Your Highness, Lord Commander, Jiang Blind is not going to oppose His Majesty the Emperor, although Jiang Blind is a bastard, but he still knows that it is a good thing, Jiang Blind can have today is all given by His Majesty, so His Majesty let Jiang Blind die, and Jiang Blind has no complaints at all!" ”

Zhu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Blind say this, he had been in the army, but he knew his father's control over the army. You Jiang Blind have a total of more than 26,000 second-rate troops, and you don't need the first, seventh, and eighth divisions of Qian Yong stationed in Fengtai to enter Beijing, just the 30,000 people of the Praetorian Guard can kill all your second-rate troops.

Zhu Jiang asked in a low voice: "Then why do you want to win over Jin Daoming, are you crazy?" ”

"Your Highness, of course Lao Jiang is not crazy! Old ginger is angry and unfair! Your Majesty, look at what the prince has become of cowardice, he has completely become Ma Mingyuan's puppet, and he has no opinion at all, if such a prince becomes the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then can we, the generals of the army, still do well? Qi Jiguang is our end! ”

What Jiang Pengju said was exactly what some generals in the army were worried about, in troubled times, the role of civilian officials was not so great, and then the role of military generals became apparent. But can you fight the country immediately, can you sit on the country immediately? Naturally, there will always be a day when the troubled times will end, and the role of Wenchen will become more and more apparent, and the role of military generals will not be so important.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was afraid of the military generals at the end of the Tang Dynasty, so it was strictly ordered that the military generals could not be literate and could not take the imperial examination. Jiang Pengju was born in a military household, so he naturally knew the low status of military generals, so he looked for cronies in the army to support Zhu Jiang, in order to improve the status of military generals.

And the facts also proved that Jiang Pengju's worries were right, just a few months ago at the knighthood ceremony, the emperor only wanted to knock Jiang Pengju, but how did he know that Ma Mingyuan finally jumped out and fell into the well, so he couldn't hang Jiang Pengju to death, so Jiang Pengju has always had a grudge against Ma Mingyuan and other ministers.

Although Ma Rufeng is not a literati, because he is Ma Jiyuan's son, he still has some culture, and now I feel that it is a problem to hear Jiang Pengju say this. But Ma Rufeng didn't want to oppose Zhu Hongsan, Ma Rufeng said in a low voice: "Old Jiang, what you said is serious!" I don't think the emperor can suppress us according to Wenchen's wishes! ”

Jiang Pengju snorted when he heard Ma Rufeng say this: "Hmph! Of course you don't have to be afraid, Master Ma, you are Ma Mingyuan's nephew, no matter how you say it, Ma Mingyuan will not attack you. But not necessarily, wasn't Qin Guogong framed by his precious brother and now returned to his hometown to farm? ”

Ma Rufeng's face flushed when he heard Jiang Pengju talk about his father, Ma Mingyuan's matter was indeed a little inauthentic, and he framed his brother for the sake of a first assistant. Although Ma Rufeng is not satisfied with his uncle, he is his own uncle after all, and it is still not good to say that he is not good in front of outsiders.

Zhu Jiang's heart itched when he heard what Jiang Pengju said, although he didn't say it, but Zhu Jiang wanted to be this prince too much. According to Zhu Jiang's understanding, his mother is the imperial concubine, and there is every hope of becoming the queen after the death of the queen Ma Xiaofang. It's that Ma Mingyuan who is the bad thing, if he hadn't been a hindrance, now that his mother is already the queen, then he would have become a son-in-law, and he would have the legitimacy to become a prince.

Although Zhu Jiang wanted to kill his brother Zhu Hai in his heart, Zhu Jiang was not a fool, he knew that although he was also the king of Qin, he could not compare with Li Shimin. Li Shimin has made outstanding achievements, and there are a group of civil and military generals under him, which is how the Xuanwumen change was launched in the end. I have only been a regiment commander in the army, and there are only a few generals in the army who support me, so I must be cautious in this matter.

Zhu Jiang thought for a while and asked, "Brother Jiang, what are you going to do?" ”

"This is very simple, where are the ready-made examples in history, let's learn from Li Shimin! First win over Jin Daoming, control the infantry army to lead the Yamen, find an opportunity to kill Zhu Hai in one fell swoop, and then enter the palace to force the emperor to abdicate and become the emperor, His Royal Highness King Qin, you are on the throne! ”

Zhu Jiang's heart was pounding by Jiang Pengju's words, although what Jiang Pengju said was very attractive, but Zhu Jiang knew that what Jiang Pengju said was completely unreliable, not to mention the Fengtai garrison, not to mention the 30,000 Praetorian Guards in the imperial city, even the 3,000 brocade guards in the palace were not easy to deal with. This is a rebellion, as soon as the emperor shows up, his team will immediately become spring and snow, and it will be too late to say anything.

Zhu Jiang shook his head when he heard Jiang Pengju finish speaking: "No, Brother Jiang, have you forgotten the 30,000 Praetorian Guards in the city?" Your plan is not reliable. ”

Jiang Pengju thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, it's better to be like this." Let's wait for an opportunity, it is best for His Majesty to lead the troops to the expedition, the capital must be empty, when the time comes, let's kill Zhu Hai and Ma Mingyuan, and then set up the imperial concubine as the queen mother, and then use the name of the queen mother to announce to the world, just say that Your Majesty is sick, and give up the throne to the king of Qin, is this good? ”

"But my father will definitely gather a large army when he leads his troops to the battle, what if my father comes back with his troops?"

"Hehe, it depends on what Zhao Guodong does! We can give Zhao Guodong a letter, grant him the position of prince, and let him put the emperor under house arrest when the time comes, won't it be a big deal? ”

Before Zhu Jiang could speak, Ma Rufeng spoke first: "No, Ma Mingyuan's protégé is all over the world, how can you kill him?" ”

Jiang Pengju knew that Ma Rufeng didn't dare to be charged with killing his uncle, but this is simple, what if the general trend has become a dog's life?

"Old Ma, you are kind-hearted and soft-faced, it's no problem to leave Ma Mingyuan alive, when the time comes, let Ma Mingyuan go home to retire, and let your father go out of the mountain to be the first assistant, what do you say?"

Ma Rufeng thought about it for a while, so he shut up and didn't speak.

Zhu Jiang thought about it and was still unreliable, pinning all his hopes on Zhao Guodong, but he was really not sure.

"This matter is still being discussed, now that my father is in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, we still have a lot of time, and we will talk about it when things are not solved in the future!"

Jiang Pengju sighed, Zhu Jiang didn't agree to him, he couldn't do anything, he had to do many things under the banner of Zhu Jiang.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, although this matter can not be done, but the preliminary preparations must be made, in case you want to employ people in the future, you can't be in a hurry."

It is okay to buy people, Zhu Jiang nodded: "These can be done, you can do this old Jiang, you need silver to speak, and pay attention to the secret agents in the army, don't leak the news!" ”

Jiang Pengju was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Jiang's promise, as long as Zhu Jiang agreed, it would be easy to say.

The three of them premeditated here, and Jin Daoming, who had drunk too much, was sent back to the palace of Wuchang County. Ma Ruyun felt very uncomfortable when she saw her husband go out and get drunk, and the man couldn't accept this kind of thing. But what can you do if you don't accept it? The adulterer is the emperor, can you still rebel?

Ma Ruyun cleaned up Jin Daoming with the help of Yahuan, changed into clean clothes, and then Ma Ruyun didn't go to bed, just lay on the head of the bed and fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, Jin Daoming woke up from wine, and the hangover headache made him moan, and then Ma Ruyun also woke up, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Husband, do you have a headache?" The concubine will get you a decanting soup! ”

Jin Daoming took the sobering soup from Ma Ruyun and didn't speak for a long time, he was thinking about what to do? This kind of shameful thing must not be publicized, or the face of the king of Wuchang County will be lost. But this kind of thing is not something that can be endured, Jin Daoming can't make up his mind about this.

Ma Ruyun saw that Jin Daoming knew what he was thinking like this, Ma Ruyun stood up and said: "Husband, the concubine body is no longer complete, the concubine body is sorry for you, the concubine body is willing to die to protect the face of the Jin family!" But please take good care of our son in the future! ”

After Ma Ruyun finished speaking, he picked up Jin Daoming's saber last night, and was about to kill himself with a horizontal sword. When Jin Daoming heard Ma Ruyun mention his son, he quickly stood up and snatched the sword in Ma Ruyun's hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, do you care about me or do you care about that faint king!" ”

"Husband, the concubine has been married to you for more than 20 years and gave birth to two sons for you, of course I care about you!"

Hearing Ma Ruyun say this, Jin Daoming sighed, for the sake of this family, for the sake of his son, he could only endure it.

"Okay, I can forgive you, but you promised me one thing, you will never enter the palace to find that faint king in the future, you know? If I find out that you have broken ties with that faint monarch again, I'm not kind to you! ”

Ma Ruyun couldn't help crying with joy when she heard that Jin Daoming had finally forgiven herself, knelt in front of Jin Daoming and swore: "Please rest assured, the concubine will never go to that faint gentleman again, and the concubine promises to be a good wife and mother at home and serve her father-in-law well!" ”

Jin Daoming's cuckold turmoil ended with Jin Daoming being willing to be the king, which is also a helpless thing, what can you do if you are not the king?

But as the saying goes, when the king has meat to eat, when the king has wine to drink. Soon the interest of Jin Daoming as the eighth king came.

On the tenth day of Jin Daoming's homecoming, the palace issued a holy decree, Jin Daoming fled in front of the battle, and according to military law, he should be decided, but Jin Daoming's father, Jin Shenghuan, the king of Wuchang County, had great merit in Jiangxi anyway, so Jin Daoming inherited his father's shadow and did not punish him for escaping, but just took all his official positions to the end, leaving only an empty title of the son of the world. The other fourteen generals who ran with Jin Daoming were unlucky, killing five, and nine were sent to Luzon to open mines, which was basically a dead end.

Jin Daoming breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the holy decree, it seemed that he didn't have to die. However, Jin Daoming didn't thank the faint monarch Zhu Hongsan at all, because these were all exchanged for his wife and his own being the eighth king.

Ma Ruyun was also very happy to see that Jin Daoming was fine, and at the same time, he was also very glad that Jin Daoming had no official position, so he could only accompany him at home. That faint gentleman is bold, and he can't run to his own house and rape himself while his husband is still at home!
