Xu Wanghua, on behalf of Zheng Xunrui, talked with Ma Shiying and Su Jiancheng respectively, although the two of them were very resolute, but Xu Wanghua saw the vague meaning, Su Jiancheng's attitude was slightly better, and Ma Shiying could obviously see hesitation.

This situation makes Xu Wanghua very worried, he knows very well that under the premise of not rebelling, Zheng Xunrui has almost no advantage in the face of the emperor and the court, that is to say, the emperor is determined to disintegrate the officials around Zheng Xunrui, it is very easy to do, unless something major happens, of course, what reassures Xu Wanghua is that Zheng Jiajun will never waver, no matter what happens, Zheng Jiajun will firmly follow Zheng Xunrui.

As long as he has Zheng Jiajun in his hand, Zheng Xunrui can be completely invincible.

Qin King Zhu Cunshu's letter soon came to Huai'an, to Xu Wanghua's surprise, Zhu Cunshu actually showed his support for Zheng Xunrui, but did not choose to be loyal to the emperor, which made Xu Wanghua puzzled, because Zhu Cunshu is a child of the royal family after all, no matter from which aspect, he should choose to be loyal to the Ming royal family, even if Zhu Cunshu has no good impression of the emperor, but at least he needs to maintain the Zhu family.

Zheng Xunrui's attitude towards Zhu Cunshu shows his understanding, although Zhu Cunshu is the prince of the Ming Dynasty and a child of the royal family, but since he was born, he has been guarded as a thief, and the only thing he can do every day is to eat and drink, play with women and gamble, etc., and he can't do anything else, otherwise he will not only lose the hat on his head, but also may encounter extraordinary punishment, as a scheming man, no one can bear it.

Zhu Cunshu's attitude made Zheng Xunrui see a lot of hope, in fact, the world's scholars are not so hard, think about the time when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, so many scholars betrayed the Ming Dynasty and became the servants of the Qing Dynasty. And the royal family, which has a stake, should have a firmer attitude at this time, and should spare no effort to support the emperor, but Zhu Cunshu has such an attitude. That means that the children of the royal family do not fully support the emperor.

Ma Shiying's attitude was expected by Zheng Xunrui, including Shi Kefa and others, they were Jinshi. That is, the elite among the many readers, and the ideas must be much more complicated.

Zheng Xunrui is looking forward to Wen Zhenheng's attitude, hoping that Wen Zhenheng can recognize the situation and make a correct judgment, Zheng Xunrui does not ask Wen Zhenheng to show a rebellious posture now, but hopes that Wen Zhenheng can refuse to go to the capital and refuse to serve as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Qin Liangyu suddenly came to Huai'an.

The white pole soldiers were ambushed by the Houjin Tartars and almost wiped out, Qin Liangyu suffered a fatal blow, and was captured alive by the Houjin Tartars, which was an unbearable shame. So that after being exchanged, he fell seriously ill, if it wasn't for the emperor's comfort, I am afraid he would not be able to support it, during this period, Ma Xianglin has been in the capital to accompany Qin Liangyu and take care of him carefully.

Qin Liangyu's body gradually recovered, and at this time, the emperor specially summoned Qin Liangyu.

After Qin Liangyu's body recovered, Ma Xianglin prepared to go to Huai'an. After all, he is still a general of the Zheng family's army, and he needs to return to Huai'an, but at this time, Qin Liangyu also made a request. followed him to Huai'an, to meet Zheng Xunrui.

Ma Xianglin didn't think it was strange, his mother Qin Liangyu wanted to meet Master Zheng Xunrui at the beginning.

At the end of February, the Grand Canal had thawed, and the mother and son took a boat to Huai'an.

Ma Xianglin had already written to Zheng Xunrui in advance, informing him that he and his mother Qin Liangyu would come to Huai'an together. In the letter, Ma Xianglin mainly said that his mother Qin Liangyu came to thank Master Zheng Xunrui this time.

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin arrived at the Huai'an wharf and were quickly taken to the Governor's Palace.

Zheng Xunrui was waiting for Qin Liangyu in the wing.

The moment he saw Qin Liangyu, Zheng Xunrui's heart was shocked, the original sassy and heroic Qin Liangyu was gone, replaced by a physically and mentally exhausted old woman, Qin Liangyu's hair was all white, and there were a lot of wrinkles on his face, it seemed that a serious illness had drained Qin Liangyu of too much energy.

However, Qin Liangyu's eyes are still full of sharpness, this is probably the fighting spirit accumulated over the years, no matter what kind of situation he encounters, he can retain it.

After a brief greeting, Qin Liangyu suddenly asked Ma Xianglin and the others to leave, saying that there was something to discuss with Master Zheng Xunrui alone.

Ma Xianglin left the wing room with a stomach full of doubts, and Xu Wanghua, who walked out of the wing room together, had a cloud of dissatisfaction on his face, he had already guessed the real purpose of Qin Liangyu's coming to Huai'an.

Zheng Xunrui also guessed the real purpose of Qin Liangyu's coming to Huai'an, the dark line had already sent information, before Qin Liangyu left the capital, he was summoned by the emperor alone, the emperor had already shown concern for Qin Liangyu's body, and when Qin Liangyu was about to leave the capital, it was definitely not for comfort and greetings again.

To put it mildly, Qin Liangyu doesn't have that kind of qualification yet.

Only Qin Liangyu and Zheng Xunrui were left in the wing.

In terms of age, Qin Liangyu is already in his sixties, and he is completely Zheng Xunrui's elder, but in terms of official rank, Qin Liangyu, a military general of Zhengyipin, still has to salute when he sees Zheng Xunrui.

Qin Liangyu stood up and clasped his fists to salute Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui also hurriedly stood up and returned the gift to Qin Liangyu.

"Lord Zheng, the old body is getting older, so there are more ideas, and there are some things that the old body thinks about, but he still has to say it, and please Lord Zheng can listen to it."

Zheng Xunrui nodded with a smile.

"The old body turned out to be just an ordinary person, he was rewarded by the emperor, with his current status, the old man was grateful, and swore allegiance to the emperor, but the old body was weak, this time he reinforced Beizhili, suffered a fiasco, and he was also captured by the Houjin Tartars, and his reputation was ruined.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and General Qin doesn't have to be so worried."

"The old body is already old, and he has lived enough, but Lord Zheng is still young, so the old body has to say a few more words, Zheng Jiajun is brave, this is a fact, Zheng Jiajun is also created by adults, over the years, to exterminate the Liukou, resist the Houjin Tartars, fierce and brave, praiseworthy, this is also something that the Manchu Dynasty knows, but as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, these are all due duties, if you take advantage of this to invite merit, you don't care about everything else, the old body thinks it is inappropriate......"

Zheng Xunrui still had a smile on his face, but he was a little awkward in his heart.

Qin Liangyu's loyalty, Zheng Xunrui knows very well, was canonized as Mrs. Yipin, Taibao, General Zhendong and Sichuan General Soldier, the emperor can be said to have given Qin Liangyu all the rewards that can be given, Qin Liangyu's own cultural level is not very high, to be able to get such a reward from the emperor, it can be described as the grace of heaven and earth, in such a situation, it is reasonable to serve the emperor desperately, but this is your Qin Liangyu's business, and it is not interesting to go to Huai'an.

Seeing Zheng Xunrui's face with a smile all the time, Qin Liangyu's heart calmed down a little, in fact, she didn't know anything about what was going on in the imperial court, she had always been in Sichuan, and she was even more unclear about the outside world.

This time she came to Huai'an, Qin Liangyu took the initiative to apply, she thought that the relationship between herself and Zheng Xunrui was good, and from the perspective of concern, it was completely okay to talk about these things.

After Qin Liangyu finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui pondered for a while, facing an old man like Qin Liangyu, he had to think carefully about what he should say, at least let Qin Liangyu stand on a neutral position, and not to get involved in the battle in the court.

"General Qin is hardworking, I understand it, General Qin's body has not fully recovered, I still have to go back to my hometown to take good care of my body, I have always thought that as long as General Qin does not fall, the white pole soldiers are still brave."

Qin Liangyu was stunned for a moment, she said so much, Zheng Xunrui did not explain positively, nor was he angry, let alone justified himself, which is very revealing.

Qin Liangyu is a lot older, I don't know how many things I have experienced, how can I not know the strangeness of this, when I was in Sichuan, I had never heard of Zheng Xunrui's bad intentions, but after Zheng Jiajun began to grow, these rumors appeared, and the emperor also began to worry, which is worth thinking about, I am afraid that the rights and wrongs in this are not something she can mix.

"Thank you Lord Zheng for your encouragement, after the old man goes back, he still has to train the white pole soldiers well."

"The old general Qin is old, although he wants to train the white pole soldiers after he goes back, but he still has to pay attention to his body, I don't think it is better to do this, let General Ma Xianglin follow the old general back to help train the white pole soldiers, I also look forward to one day, I can see the brave white pole soldiers galloping on the battlefield again."

Qin Liangyu smiled and nodded, she suddenly realized that Zheng Xunrui was really able to empathize.

"It's okay for adults to say this, the old body is old, everything has to rely on the young people to do it, and the old body also hopes that Lord Zheng can completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, and return the Ming Dynasty to a stable world."

When Ma Xianglin learned that he was going to follow his mother back to Sichuan, he was very resistant, but this was an order, on the one hand, he could not go against his mother's wishes, and on the other hand, he also realized that there must be a problem here.

Ma Xianglin finally followed his mother to leave Huai'an and go to Sichuan, but at this time, Sichuan was in the midst of the ravages of the rogues, and after Ma Xianglin went back, life must be unstable.

Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong both expressed their understanding of Zheng Xunrui's handling method, in fact, they knew what Qin Liangyu was doing, Zheng Xunrui was not angry, and returned Ma Xianglin to Qin Liangyu, so that they avoided this power struggle, and it was also the foundation for the real game in the future, at least Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin need to think about whether they unconditionally support the emperor.
