Chapter 283: Reverse
For the current Ma Shiying, he is too deep, basically there is no way out, if he retreats, it will be an abyss, and there will be no career in the future, maybe there will be worries about his life.
Since there is no way to retreat, then there is only to enter, as long as King Fu is stabilized on the throne, then the world will have the final say from now on. King Fu is mediocre, greedy and lustful, and he does not have the appearance of a Ming monarch at all, but this is more conducive to his own monopoly of power.
Ma Shiying is confident that as long as he truly grasps the power of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be able to regroup, rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, cultivate himself and rule the country and level the world, and the ultimate ideal of Confucianism will definitely be realized in himself! Thinking of this, Ma Shiying's heart was extremely excited!
One after another orders were issued from the garrison mansion, and a team of soldiers rushed out of the barracks and ran in the night, but at this moment, the Qingliu officials led by Shi Kefa were still ignorant and ignorant, and they were still indulging in the joy of Chongzhen's safe return to the south.
A black shadow rushed out of the Hongwu Gate, running towards Shi Kefa's mansion in the night, but before he saw the wall of the Shi Mansion, he was stopped by two warriors in armor, the snow bright steel knife reflected a compelling cold light, the black shadow suddenly stopped, his mouth opened before he could speak, a cold light flashed, and everything fell into silence again.
In the Xincheng Mansion, Zhao Zhilong walked nervously in the hall with his sword scabbard, and he was angry, and his eyes showed deep fear. Ma Shiying's staff Lin Cong sat on the chair calmly, gently sipping the fragrant tea in the tea bowl.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this, sending troops to besiege my Earl's Palace? What do you want to do? Zhao Zhilong stood in front of Li Cong and roared angrily.
"Nothing, huh? On the military orders of the Governor of Ma, I came to protect you, uncle. Lin Cong put down the teacup and said with a smile.
"Protect me? Hahaha, what a joke! Zhao Zhilong sneered, "I am Xin Chengbo, the garrison of Nanjing, and now all the guards in Nanjing are under my command, believe it or not, Lao Tzu slaughtered you with a knife, see if Ma Shiying dares to talk nonsense with me!" ”
"Uncle, of course it is as easy to kill me as killing a chicken in your position, but uncle, why do you do this? Governor Ma has no malicious intentions, as long as you stay calm tonight, don't issue military orders indiscriminately, and wait for tomorrow, you will be the prince of my Ming Dynasty, and this deal can be done! Lin Cong smiled.
"Do you think you can get me with just these hundreds of people outside? There are 300 families in my Earl's Palace, and not far from the palace is the garrison of the avant-garde of the Imperial Army, as long as I send people to rush out and mobilize the guards, you will not be enough to kill them. Zhao Zhilong sneered. He was a dignified earl, the garrison of Nanjing, and controlled all the armies in Nanjing, and now he was surrounded by people in the palace, which made him feel extremely angry.
"My uncle, it's better not to try. You yourself said that these family members under your command have fought and seen blood? Have they practiced once a month? As for the army outside, they have followed General Liu to fight the Manchurian Tartars and suppress the thieves, all of whom are hard-working people who have rolled over the tip of the knife. Your family is all fine porcelain, so why bother with their rubble? Looking at Zhao Zhilong's darkening face, Lin Cong knew that everything was under control.
Zhao Zhilong snorted and sat down.
"King Fu's accession to the throne has become a foregone conclusion, and Ben Jue has no intention of objecting, what I don't understand is, why is Governor Ma still like this?" The anger in his heart disappeared, and Zhao Zhilong calmed down.
"Uncle, don't you really know?" Lin Cong asked in surprise. Looking at Zhao Zhilong's ignorant appearance, Lin Cong realized that Zhao Zhilong had not received the news that Chongzhen was alive until now.
He's a garrison in Nanjing! In hindsight, what is it if it is not a rice bucket? The Governor of Lost Horse also sent an army to be on guard, and Lin Cong's heart laughed wildly.
......
At dawn, Shi Kefa woke up early, only to feel a little pain in his head, he drank a little too much last night, but his spirit is extremely uplifting now.
After washing up under the waiter of the old servant, he ate two pieces of snacks with pickles, and drank a bowl of millet porridge, then stood up and ordered him to go down to prepare the sedan chair.
"Master, something is wrong!" The housekeeper Shi Fu said to Shi Kefa worriedly, "There seemed to be some turmoil in the city last night, and I sent the servant Aqing to investigate, but I didn't come back to report the news. ”
"Did Aqing go to drink flower wine? This bastard! Shi Kefa looked very displeased.
"Aqing won't be so ignorant of the severity, something must have happened!" Shi Fu shook his head, his face full of melancholy.
"Hmm!" Shi Kefa was silent for a moment, and his expression became solemn.
"Send someone to find it." Shi Kefa commanded, the matter had been decided for this morning, and he didn't want to bother with this matter.
Sitting in a sedan chair and going out of the house, Shi Kefa opened the sedan curtain and looked out, but didn't notice anything abnormal.
Since Nanjing is only a companion capital, there is no emperor and no cabinet, the imperial palace of the Forbidden City is of course not open, and Shi Kefa's military department yamen is the place where the ministers discuss their affairs.
The sedan chair went to West Chang'an Avenue through Taipingfang, and Shi Kefa sat in it and closed his eyes to rest.
"Master, it seems that something is wrong," the butler Shi Fu walked to the sedan chair and whispered, "There seem to be a lot more soldiers on Chang'an Street." ”
Shi Kefa Huo Ran opened his eyes, lifted the sedan curtain and looked out, and saw a group of soldiers stationed on both sides of the street, judging from the tattered armor, it was not the forbidden army guarding the imperial city, it was clearly Liu Zeqing's soldiers.
"Master, do you want to turn around and go back?" Shi Fu said nervously.
"Keep going!" Shi Kefa put down the sedan curtain and said in a deep voice, where can I go back after the matter has come to this point. I want to see, what do you Ma Shiying want to do? Shi Kefa said fiercely in his heart.
The sedan chair arrived at the yamen of the military department, but was stopped by a group of soldiers when he was about to enter.
"General Fengma Zhongcheng, please invite Master Shi to the Emperor's Palace!" An officer with the appearance of a hundred households respectfully saluted Shi Kefa's sedan chair and said.
"Imperial Palace? Ma Shiying, what does he want to do? Shi Kefa lifted the curtain of the sedan car and angrily rebuked at the officer.
"The villain is just acting on orders, not only Lord Shi, but other adults have also gone to the Huangji Palace, and King Fu and Ma Zhongcheng are waiting for you in the Huangji Palace." The officer said respectfully.
"Blessed King!" Shi Kefa's expression changed drastically, and he finally realized that something was wrong, and the most feared thing finally happened! But looking at the empty gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and then looking at the few soldiers with swords and guns, Shi Kefa knew that he couldn't do anything now.
Hmph, since you let me go to the Imperial Palace, I'll go over, I want to see what you want to do? As long as I, Shi Kefa, am here, I will never allow you rebels and thieves to change the sky!
