Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Lord Ma, what a big deal to welcome the prince, so hasty, is there any imperial court?"
"Brother Xian, this is wrong, the system of the imperial court is to let the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, and the state affairs are chaotic, and there can be no delay for a moment. If you still stick to common sense, it will be against the duty of the minister, and you will obey the power in a hurry, which is a truth that children understand! ”
"You!" Shi Kefa's anger rushed to his head, but he looked at the group of generals behind Ma Shiying, especially Liu Zeqing who was also following him, Shi Kefa could only suppress his anger and couldn't do it.
But Lu Daqi, who was behind him, said loudly: "Master Ma, we promised to welcome the prince in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, but you treacherously led the army to Nanjing, what kind of evil intentions are you harboring?" I advise you to hand over the crown prince to us, return to Fengyang honestly, and when the prince ascends the throne, he will naturally reward the meritorious ministers, and no one will deny your merits. ”
Brag unblushingly!
Ma Shiying laughed: "Lord Lu, there are some things that you can't say. ”
As soon as these words came out, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie and others all rode to the front, one by one, with their chests folded and their stomachs folded, their hands pressed on their swords, and they were majestic, even if they were King Kong in the temple.
Lu Daqi looked at these people, and his face was extremely ugly, Xiucai met a soldier, it doesn't make sense! At this time, it is obvious that there is no embarrassment of military power.
Ma Shiying was triumphant and laughed: "Hurry up and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get in the car and go to Nanjing immediately." ”
Lu Daqi rolled his eyes, and said: "Master Ma, welcoming the prince to the throne is a civil official matter, and it should be handled by the six princes, I don't think the generals need to follow, wouldn't it be better to garrison Jiangbei and ensure the safety of the capital?" ”
Originally, Gu Zhenhua had always been a cold observer of their quarrel, but when it came to himself, Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but show up. If you are excluded from the capital and can't participate in it, and then you casually take out an official position and beat yourself, it will be a big loss.
Although Gu Zhenhua still has a trace of respect for Shi Kefa, at this time, he can't talk about any feelings. As soon as Gu Zhenhua urged the horse, he came to the front of Lu Daqi and Shi Kefa, and smiled slightly: "Do the two adults think that the martial artist is vulgar and unworthy of participating in the enthronement?" ”
"Who is this?" Shi Kefa didn't know Gu Zhenhua, but he felt that this young man was majestic and murderous, not like an ordinary person.
"Brother Xian, this is Gu Zhenhua, the loyal and brave uncle who protects the prince from the south." Lu Daqi said to Shi Kefa.
When Shi Kefa heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and bowed, deeply shocked.
"In the midst of difficulties, saving the weak master, covering the world, is extremely admired."
"Don't dare!" Gu Zhenhua also arched his hand, and then sneered: "Master Shi, Gu's soldiers are thousands of miles away, and they are so delirious that they escorted the prince to the south, can they be regarded as heroes of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Count, naturally count!"
"Since it's counted, why don't these heroes even have the right to enter Beijing?"
"This?" Shi Kefa was also asked, and was silent for a long time before he reluctantly said: "Loyal and brave uncle, the capital is in chaos, and the soldiers lack restraint, so they should be stationed on the periphery, so as not to disturb the people." You can rest assured, the court will definitely not treat these heroes badly. ”
"That's right." Lu Daqi also said: "What Master Shi said is very true, and I hope that Lord Gu will focus on the overall situation and set an example for the martial artists in the world." ”
Lu Daqi's words clearly wanted to exclude Gu Zhenhua, and Huang Degong and the others should not follow suit.
Gu Zhenhua is so easy to beat, he sneered slightly, and asked his subordinates to hold the jade seal over, and Gu Zhenhua held it in his hand.
"Adults, do you recognize what this thing is?"
Shi Kefa and Lu Daqi were also startled when they saw the jade seal, and hurriedly leaned down and knelt down, kowtowing to the north again and again.
"The incompetence of the criminal minister led to the tragic death of the thief, and there is no redemption for ten thousand deaths!"
"Hmph, Lord Shi, Lord Lu, you look down on the martial arts, but this lord sues you, that is, the martial arts sacrificed his life and forgot his life, rescued the prince from the capital, and brought out the edict of the jade seal. Do you know that in order to go out of Beijing, some people hold gunpowder and sacrifice their lives to blow up the city gates; Do you know that in order to get rid of the big traitor Wu Sangui, the soldiers fought bloodily and killed Wu Sanrong and Gao Di in a row; You know, kill thousands of Tartars, build a Beijing Temple, and raise the prestige of our country; Do you know that in the first battle of Tianjin, Kong Youde was awarded and was cooked in the oil of the soldiers.
I am an ** soldier, bloody battles all the way, outstanding achievements, in comparison, what are you doing, what qualifications do you have to look down on martial arts. On the contrary, I want to look down on you, the first emperor asked you to be the king of Qin, who will stand up? Donglin Zhugong, a celebrity of the Restoration Society, a righteous man and a gentleman, famous in the world, when you claimed to be a moral article, did you ever think about how many scholars of the Restoration Society had surrendered to Li Zicheng and gave advice to the Dashun Army. What's more, he surrendered to the Manchu Tartars, shaved off his head, wore a pig's tail, and served as a slave to the Manchus. ”
Gu Zhenhua turned his head, pointed to the soldiers behind him, and then said sharply: "Open your eyes and see, which of these soldiers has no scars, they are born and died for the Ming Dynasty, guarding the frontier, and only then can you have your voice and horses." If you are worried about the martial arts making trouble, why don't you ask the martial artists why they are making trouble, that is, you are detaining and exploiting and looking down on the martial artists. There is a wrong, there is a debtor, and it is much more useful to look in the mirror and look at yourself more than to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”
When the military generals and civil officials of the Ming Dynasty sprayed each other, there were almost no victories, and even the emperor was disgraced. But Gu Zhenhua's words were endless, and almost impeccable.
No one can deny the credit of An**, and the defection of the Donglin Party to the enemy is also obvious to all, and it has pierced the mask of their moral self-esteem at once.
Gu Zhenhua was invincible first, with a gun and a stick, Shi Kefa's face was ashamed, while Lu Daqi gritted his teeth, his face was flushed, but he didn't know how to refute.
Only Huang Degong and the others laughed: "What Lord Gu said is not wrong at all, our generals are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, without us, the Dashun army would have been killed a long time ago." ”
"Yes, I don't believe that your pen can beat the handle of a knife!" Gao Jie also shouted,
Ma Shiying didn't expect Gu Zhenhua's words to be so sharp, even the Donglin Party, which has always been able to speak well, was suppressed, it was really happy, Ma Shiying said with a smile: "Brother Xian, although what Lord Gu said is inappropriate, but it is also a true temperament, they are entrusted by the emperor, protect the prince to the south, and should always escort the prince to the throne, this is also a good beginning and a good end!" ”
Shi Kefa and Lu Daqi had nothing to say at all, so they could only obediently follow Ma Shiying and Gu Zhenhua to escort the prince into Beijing. Quietly, Gu Zhenhua and Ma Shiying have already taken the great credit of planning in their arms, and even Huang Degong and others have a lot of profits, as for the Donglin Party, they have been completely marginalized.
In fact, the Donglin Party is worried that King Fu will be liquidated when he ascends the throne. The crown prince's ascension to the throne just dispelled their doubts, and it was logical that they should support the prince's ascension to the throne generously. But they were too obsessed with the work of planning, so they got into the embarrassing situation they are in
Ma Shiying is certainly not a savior, but Shi Kefa can't even compare to Ma Shiying, coupled with the selfish Donglin party members who are causing chaos on the side, Nanming has been in danger from the beginning, and internal worries outweigh external troubles!
After crossing the Yangtze River, the army entered Beijing along the way, and the original civil and military officials were all alarmed, and more than ten miles away from the city, they were full of welcoming crowds, high color sheds, and drums and music. The eyes were full of crimson official uniforms, and the blue official uniforms could only be lined up at the back, nodding their heads.
For Zhu Dadian, Zhang Shenyan, Huang Daozhou, Qian Qianyi, Jiang Yueguang, etc., most of them are members of the Donglin Party. They originally wanted to build momentum for Shi Kefa, but as soon as they saw Ma Shiying walking in the front, their faces showed a look of horror and anger.
Ma Shiying didn't care, when he got to the front of these people, he said loudly: "The prince has arrived, don't hurry up and see the driver!" ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they could only follow their words, and saw the prince Zhu Cihong, and then An ** protected the prince, acting as a pioneer, entering Nanjing from Zhengyang Gate, until Hongwu Gate, the majestic Nanjing Palace was displayed in front of them. Compared with Beijing, Nanjing's imperial palace is larger, but it is in disrepair and looks a little dilapidated.
Slightly different from history, King Fu had already fled to Nanjing first, and with the support of the eunuch Lu Jiude and others, he became a prisoner, only half a step away from the throne. As a result, the Donglin Party resolutely opposed, and the two sides remained at a stalemate until Gu Zhenhua brought the genuine prince and jade seal, and King Fu dramatically lost the opportunity.
Gu Zhenhua and the others arrived outside the palace gate, the palace was closed, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs were staring at each other, especially Ma Shiying, who was even more surprised.
"King Fu dares to prevent the prince from entering the palace, it is simply too deceitful!"
"That's right, how can King Fu be deed, it is already too big to be a prisoner, do you still want to hope for a big position?"
The ministers discussed a lot, Lu Daqi's eyes rolled, grabbed Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan, whispered a few words, and then stepped forward.
"King Fu is immoral, and he should be abolished as a prisoner, and the crown prince is on the throne, so that he can respond to the people. We must not allow the traitor to steal the palace and disgrace the society. It's time to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, protect the prince and rush open the palace gate! ”
"What Master Lu said is reasonable, it should have been done a long time ago." The ministers of the Donglin Party all jumped out, rolled up their sleeves one by one, and made loud noises, some rushed to the prince's car, and some ran to the palace gate, beckoning people, and it was extremely chaotic for a while.
Gu Zhenhua's brows were furrowed, he didn't understand the wishful thinking of the Donglin Party, and there was nothing to do with the Donglin Party. But suddenly there was such a thing as King Fu, they regarded King Fu as a target, and it seemed to have become the biggest obstacle to the crown prince's accession to the throne, and then they gave a vivid performance to King Fu and packaged themselves as supporting meritorious heroes.
Ma Shiying was not stupid, he naturally saw this trick, and he and Gu Zhenhua glanced at each other. As soon as Gu Zhenhua waved his hand, An ** soldiers poured out and surrounded them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is an ** here, no need to make a mistake." Gu Zhenhua looked at the ministers with a smile, and then said slowly: "The country is in chaos, it is a blessing to have a long monarch in power, I think it is better to let King Fu continue to supervise the country, assist the prince, and return to power after three years, what do you think?" ”
