Ma Mingyuan has had a lot less things at home in the past half a year, and his life is very leisurely, but Ma Mingyuan is not very happy in his heart, because this resignation was not voluntary by him, but was framed.

Ma Mingyuan had just fallen asleep that night, and Ma Fu, the chief housekeeper of the Ma Mansion outside the door, shouted softly outside the door: "Master! Sixth Ladies! ”

The sixth lady is Ma Mingyuan's concubine just accepted last year, only sixteen years old, which is the youth.

The sixth lady listened to the voice of Ma Fu, the housekeeper outside the door, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's it called?" The old man just slept, let's talk about it tomorrow! ”

"Sixth lady, Mr. Qian came to see the master outside, saying that there was something important!"

Ma Mingyuan is almost fifty years old this year, and he has slept lightly, but Ma Fu's words have woken him up.

"Ma Fu, what's the matter? Didn't I say I wouldn't see you? Besides, what time is it, let him come tomorrow! ”

"Master, it's Qian Yiai, the second son of Qian Ge's hometown, who said that he must see the master tonight if there is a big event!"

Ma Mingyuan sat up immediately when he heard that it was Qian Yiai, he knew that Qian Yiai and the prince had a good relationship, could it be that the prince wanted to see him?

Thinking of the crown prince Ma Mingyuan, he couldn't help but be full of anger, last year because of the matter of that little concubine Xiang, the prince was imprisoned for a month, Ma Mingyuan really hated iron and steel, and it was really unwise to fight against the emperor for the sake of a woman.

Although Ma Mingyuan is not very satisfied with the prince, but now he can't help it, he has been tied to the prince, it is completely a loss and a glory, thinking of this, Ma Mingyuan got up and said: "Come on, change the old man's clothes!" ”

With Ma Mingyuan's order, the maid who lived in the outhouse hurriedly came in to dress the master. The sixth lady couldn't help but complain when she saw that there was going to be no drama tonight: "Master, you are not an official anymore, why are you afraid of the prince?" ”

Ma Mingyuan heard the sixth lady say this and scolded: "What do women know, you go to sleep first!" ”

Ma Mingyuan put on his clothes and went out of the door, and followed Ma Fu to the living room in the front yard. The Ma family courtyard is not big, only the front and back three courtyards, except for Ma Mingyuan and a few ladies, everyone else lives in the city, but although the house is small, it depends on what location, Ma Mingyuan's courtyard is in the first courtyard on the left hand of the royal courtyard, from this position, you can see that Ma Mingyuan's status in Zhu Hongsan's heart has not weakened by half a point with Ma Mingyuan being deposed.

When he came to the living room in the front yard, Ma Mingyuan saw Qian Yiai turning around in the house.

Qian Yiai saw Ma Mingyuan walking into the house, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle, you can get up, something is wrong!" ”

Seeing Qian Yiai's appearance, Ma Mingyuan frowned and said, "Zigao, you are also an official, why are you still so impatient?" ”

Ma Mingyuan sat on the top after entering the house, and then asked, "Say, what happened to you in such a hurry to find the old man?" ”

Qian Yiai then explained the events of the afternoon and evening in detail, and after finishing speaking, Qian Yiai said anxiously: "Uncle, the prince doesn't know what to do, so let the little nephew come to ask his uncle!" ”

When Ma Mingyuan heard that the prince had made such a big fuss, he stood up angrily and pointed at Qian Yiai and scolded: "Zigao, you should let the old man say something!" You know that the crown prince has a special identity, and now the king of Qin and the king of Chu are eyeing the prince, what do you think of still messing around with the prince? ”

Qian Yiai listened to Ma Mingyuan reprimanding himself and had nothing to say, sat there with his head down, and thought in his heart: How did I know that this kind of thing could happen, if I want to know what kind of banquet I will go to as a result, is it not good to eat at home?

"Uncle Ma, it's too late to reprimand the little nephew now, let's find a way to save the prince!"

Ma Mingyuan sat on the chair and thought for a while and said: "The matter has come to this point, the old man has nothing to do, the prince is bold, maybe it's not bad to teach him a lesson!" ”

When Qian Yiai heard this, what kind of solution was this, didn't he sit and wait for death?

"Uncle Ma, it is a big deal to mobilize the army in Beijing without the emperor's permission, you are in danger if you don't help the prince!"

Ma Mingyuan glanced at Qian Yiai, picked up the teacup and said unhurriedly: "Zigao, you are smart and smart, but you still have little experience as an official!" It is true that the crown prince is bold and reckless, but now that the emperor is not in Beijing, and now that the southwest is full of wars, the emperor needs stability in the court too much, how can the prince be abolished because of such a small matter at this time? ”

Qian Yiai listened to Ma Mingyuan say this, and thought about it, the abolition of the prince is a big deal, the abolition of the prince in the history of the Ming Dynasty was not all in a uproar, and there was no success in the end.

"Zigao, think about it again, the prince did such a big thing, do you think the emperor knows nothing? The old man estimated that Jinyiwei's urgent report would be sent out of the capital tonight, and it would be delivered to the emperor in more than half a month, and the emperor would know the details by then! ”

"Uncle, having said that, why don't we do something? The little nephew estimated that the king of Chu would also go to Tong Ge's hometown to conspire at this time, what if it was not good for the prince? ”

"Humph! Tong Yangjia? It's good that he doesn't make a move this time, if he helps the King of Chu suppress the prince, the old man Tong is estimated to be about the same as the old man! ”

Qian Yiai didn't understand what Ma Mingyuan said, could it be that Ma Mingyuan had already prepared the means to clean up Tong Yangjia?

"Uncle, the little nephew doesn't understand, is the uncle going to fight back?"

Ma Mingyuan sneered: "You have all forgotten one person, the current cabinet chief, the old man's eldest brother Ma Jiyuan!" ”

Ma Jiyuan Qian bereaved to know, and he had seen it, it was an old man who looked at everyone with a straight face and was extremely upright, he could also play these conspiracy methods?

"Uncle, do you mean that Elder Ma Ge wants to deal with Elder Tong Ge?" Qian Yiai said that he didn't believe anything, and that Mr. Taoist would also fall into the ground.

"My eldest brother is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, he has been a magistrate, a magistrate, a magistrate, and a governor after arriving in Guangdong, and he has been a prefect, a political envoy, and a governor after arriving in Guangdong. Zigao, you go back and tell the prince, don't go out for the past ten days, no matter what news is circulating in Beijing, don't care, my eldest brother will naturally take action to clean up Tong Yangjia for him! ”

Qian Yiai saw that Ma Mingyuan was sure, so he had no choice but to return to the city and relay Ma Mingyuan's news to the prince.

Just when Qian Yiai left the Ma Mansion, Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, also rushed to the outside of Tong Yangjia's mansion in the city.

Zhu Huai couldn't care about the prince's prestige, so he stepped forward directly to call the door, and Zhu Huai's call came out in the middle of the night.

"Open the door! Open the door! Are all the men dead? ”

Tong Yangjia is a pavilion elder, and all the disciples are very awesome, and they haven't seen anyone who comes to the pavilion old mansion in the middle of the night to make trouble. It was Tong San who was on the vigil tonight, and he put on his clothes and scolded and shouted, "Who! You're crazy, do you know what it is? ”

As soon as Tong San put down the bolt of the door, the door was kicked open by Zhu Huai, Tong San was just about to scold, and when he saw that the person who came in was Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, he was scared and swallowed the scolding words.

"Lord Wang, why are you here so late?"

"Where's my grandfather? I want to see my grandfather! Zhu Huai was in a hurry and didn't call the king, so he directly used the first person.

Zhu Huai made such a fuss at the door, the lights were lit up in the Tong Mansion, and the family members who patrolled the night hurriedly came over to see what was going on, and the second housekeeper of the Tong Mansion also rushed to the door to check.

Zhu Huai saw the second housekeeper coming, stepped forward and grabbed him and shouted: "Butler, take me to see my grandfather, something is wrong!" ”

The housekeeper saw that Zhu Huai's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly took Zhu Huai to the backyard.

Although Tong Yangjia has an inferior character, he is much stronger than Ma Mingyuan in terms of female color. Ma Mingyuan's little wife found one after another, and Tong Yangjia only had one continuation, which was Zhu Huai's own grandmother and the mother of the two concubines in the palace, Chen. Tong Yangjia is fifty-five this year, and his energy is low, so he went to bed early. I didn't know that I slept until midnight, and suddenly there was a cry in the front yard.

Tong Yangjia was just about to ask who was making such a noise so late, but he didn't know that the door was pushed open, and Zhu Huai rushed into the house.

"Grandpa! Grandfather! Help me! I'm going to be out of luck this time! ”

Tong Yangjia heard that it was Zhu Huai's voice, got up and put on a coat, and when he went out of the inner room, he saw that Zhu Huai was standing in front of him with a blue nose and swollen face.

At this time, Tong Yangjia's wife Chen also came out, he is Zhu Huai's grandmother, the eldest son and grandson, and the old lady's life. When Chen saw his grandson Zhu Huai's appearance, he cried: "My good grandson, what's wrong? Who beat you like this? Didn't he know you were a prince? My good grandson! ”

Chen's crying house immediately became a mess, and Tong Yangjia saw that it was really unpleasant, and scolded: "Okay! Don't cry! King Chu, you and I go to the study! ”

Tong Yangjia asked the maid to pull away Chen, and took Zhu Huai to the study in the front yard, and after entering the house, Tong Yangjia asked, "King Chu, what's going on?" And what's wrong with your blue nose and swollen face? ”

Zhu Huai settled down and told the events of the night in detail. After hearing this, Tong Yangjia frowned and asked, "King Chu, why did the prince go suddenly?" Did he know the news beforehand? ”

"Grandpa, I don't know about this book, but Zhu Hai said that he eavesdropped outside the window!"

Tong Yangjia nodded: "Okay, that's good!" As long as those few moves are not seen by the prince! ”

Tong Yangjia only remembered that Zhu Huai was selling exam questions at this time, and not only said angrily: "King Chu, the old man has told you many times, don't stretch out your hand to try, why don't you listen to the old man's advice?" ”

Seeing that he was angry in the background, Zhu Huai lowered his head and said: "Grandpa, you also know that this king is short of money, and my father only gives me less than 100,000 silver dollars a year. ”

"Didn't the old man tell you that he came to the old man for lack of money?"

"Grandpa, but what this king lacks is not a small number, his subordinates need to feed, the subordinates in the palace need money, and the money that my grandfather gave to this king is not enough!"

Tong Yangjia sighed and asked, "How much is your shortfall every year?" ”

Zhu Huai pondered and said: "In addition to what my father gave me, there is still a gap of 200,000 silver dollars!" ”

"Okay, let your palace steward come over tomorrow, and the old man will give you the two factories in Qiongzhou, and the annual income of those two factories is about 300,000 silver dollars, which is enough for you!"

When Zhu Huai heard that there was money to take, he stood up happily and said, "Thank you, grandfather!" ”
