In the cabinet room in the imperial city, Ma Shiying sat behind the desk in a daze, and had been sitting for a long time. The tea in the teacup is still full, but it is already cold without a trace of heat coming out, just like Ma Shiying's heart now......

The strategy of using a counter-plot to lure the Pingnan army into the city to trap and kill was a decision made by Ruan Dacheng and after careful consideration by Ma Shiying. The reason for such a risk is that the situation is too critical, the Pingnan army with the destruction of Gao Jie Liu Liangzuo to surrender Huang Degong to the power of Nanjing, the city has long been panicked, if it can not achieve a big victory to stabilize the people's hearts, Nanjing City will collapse without a fight.

Going out of the city and fighting head-on with the army in Nanjing had no chance of winning at all, even Liu Zeqing, who had the strongest combat power, did not dare.

If you defend the city, it is to give the enemy the opportunity completely, maybe the Pingnan army will not be able to capture Nanjing for a while, but as long as the Pingnan army stays outside the city, people in Nanjing will be panicked, and they don't know when someone will surrender. And with Chongzhen's prestige as emperor for 17 years, the governors and generals in various places will definitely listen to his dispatch, and he can easily mobilize tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops to Nanjing.

Now that he has completely fallen behind, if he doesn't win by surprise, there will be no hope at all, which is why Ma Shiying has set a strategy to lure the enemy!

However, in the end, he was defeated......

The news of the rout of Liu Zeqing's army had already reached the palace.

The outer city has been lost, Liu Zeqing has been defeated, and he expects Zhao Zhilong and Qian Qian to defend the inner city? Isn't that a fantasy!

At this moment, Ma Shiying's heart was already extremely desperate.

The news has spread, and the entire palace is now in chaos, and the clerks on duty in the cabinet have fled in a hurry, and no one pays attention to him, the head of the cabinet.

Footsteps sounded, and a little eunuch hurried in, bringing the will of King Fu's summons. Presumably, King Fu was also extremely worried and anxious, so he sent someone to invite him.

Ma Shiying smiled bitterly and followed the little eunuch to the inner palace, there were panicked palace attendants everywhere along the way, and when he saw him, the first assistant, he only glanced up, and then left regardless of it.

Within a few days of being the emperor, King Fu had already set up a big harem, with more than a dozen concubines and hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs in Xinna......

"Motosuke, you're finally here!"

In the Qianqing Palace, King Fu, who wanted to wear it, saw Ma Shiying as if he had seen a relative, and without waiting for Ma Shiying to salute, he ran over in a few steps, grabbed Ma Shiying's sleeve, and moved vigorously beyond the limit of a fat man.

"Motosuke, you can think of a way!" King Fu was very frightened, the fat on his face trembled, and he squinted his small eyes and looked at Ma Shiying, hoping that this person who single-handedly helped him to the throne could come up with a good solution.

However, Ma Shiying could only be silent......

"Otherwise, let's go out of the city to find Liu Kongzhao, he still has tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of warships." Lu Jiude came up with an idea on the side.

"The situation is irreparable, and Liu Kongzhao is not a loyal person." Ma Shiying sighed.

Even if he defected to Liu Kongzhao, he was most likely betrayed.

"What then?" King Fu loosened Ma Shiying's sleeve and muttered.

Just when a few people were at a loss, there was a louder commotion outside, and a little eunuch ran in quickly.

"The emperor is not good, Zhao Zhilong is on the contrary, and he is killing the palace!"

"Ahh King Fu screamed, could no longer stand on his feet, staggered back, and sat on the ground.

Zhao Zhilong is the garrison of Nanjing, even he is opposed, how long can he last with only a few hundred guards guarding the palace?

"Yuansuke, you should quickly find a way to save Your Majesty!" Lu Jiude pleaded again.

Ma Shiying glanced at Lu Jiude with disgust, if it weren't for this guy who bewitched King Fu and secretly seduced Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and others to support King Fu's succession and forced himself to a dead end, how could he stop at violating the agreement with Shi Kefa to support King Gui and let King Fu, an incompetent person, become the emperor.

If you support King Gui, King Gui is far away in Guangxi, and if he doesn't wait for him to come to Nanjing, Chongzhen will go south to Huai'an, and Chongzhen will continue to be the emperor as a matter of course, where are there so many things!

The outside has been much cleaner, and presumably the palace maids and maids in the palace have almost escaped. Ma Shiying returned to his class room in silence all the way and sat down behind his position.

"Sir!" Ah Fu, the old servant who served him, looked at him worriedly, choked up and shouted.

However, at this point, what's the use of regretting?

"Your Majesty, you are also an emperor, you can't be humiliated by villains, and now that you have reached such a desperate situation, there is no way to think about it. You should still follow the example of Emperor Jianwen back then! ”

Ma Shiying sighed and made a final suggestion to King Fu.

"Ahh King Fu was dumbfounded, how did he not know the allusion of Emperor Jianwen's self-immolation, Ma Shiying's words clearly wanted him to commit suicide! Suddenly, King Fu wept bitterly.

"Motosuke, you, how can you do this?" Lu Jiude stammered, I asked you to make an idea, how can you persuade King Fu to commit suicide!

"I heard that when Beijing fell, in order to help Chongzhen escape, Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, hanged himself in the Qianqing Palace. Grandpa Ma, you are also a eunuch with a pen, and you should not make the prince predominant! ”

Ma Shiying then said to Lu Jiude, and then ignored the two of them and staggered out.

"Hehe, don't worry about me. Ah Fu, how long have you served me? Ma Shiying asked with a smile.

"It's been more than twenty years, sir, and I've followed you when I was raised from you." Ah Fu wept.

"Hehe, it's been more than 20 years, it's been a long time!" Ma Shiying's eyes were confused, as if he remembered the past again. For more than 20 years, he has gone from an ordinary scholar step by step to today's status, becoming the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, looking back on the past, life is like a dream.

Now, it's time for this dream to come to an end!

"Ah Fu, you and my master and servant have come to an end today." Ma Shiying took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and put it on the table.

"This jade pendant has also been with me for more than 20 years, and it is worth some money, you can take him and run for your life!"

"What about you, sir?" Ah Fu fell to his knees with a puff and asked in a choked voice.

"I, my road has come to an end." Ma Shiying waved his hand and motioned for Ah Fu to leave quickly.

There was a sound of fighting outside, and then there were heavy footsteps, Ah Fu's face changed for a while, and finally grabbed the jade pendant on the table, kowtowed three times to Ma Shiying, and walked away.

Smiling and looking at Ah Fu's back, Ma Shiying took out a small jade bottle from his arms, pulled out the stopper, poured out a red projectile, twisted it with three fingers and put it in his mouth, and swallowed it with the residual tea on the table.
