On the bench, Ma Yongcheng was erected on the top, two Jinyi Wei Han generals held down their upper bodies, Li Daniu took matters into his own hands, pulled Ma Yongcheng's pants open with a hula, revealing a round butt full of white flowers and fat, and the other two Han generals held their court staff high and crackled and began to execute.

Ma Yongcheng thought that Song Nan was just scaring him at first, but soon he understood that Song Nan was here today, and when the initial brocade guard drove him to the wooden bench, he was still spontaneous, cursing and threatening in his mouth, shouting to see the emperor, and saying that he would bring out Song Nan's foundation.

Song Nanyan can tolerate him to talk nonsense, the so-called Ma Yongcheng knows his so-called foundation, which is that the original design made Qian Ning and Liu Jin disagree, so that Liu Jin's intention to add an internal factory was forced to give up. Later, Song Nan designed to get rid of Liu Jin, and Ma Yongcheng also participated, but Song Nan did not let him know all the details. Even so, if Ma Yongcheng talks nonsense, in front of the hundreds of officials who are standing and watching, it will be a troublesome matter.

Therefore, when the bench was set up, Song Nan ordered someone to plug his mouth, Li Daniu took off Ma Yongcheng's dirty boots and stuffed them in his mouth, and at this time, Ma Yongcheng knew that his life was difficult to protect today. He raised his head from the stool and looked at Song Nan with tears in his eyes, his eyes were full of pleading, which was to express his begging for mercy.

Song Nan is hard-hearted, what he hates the most is the person who eats inside and outside, although this Ma Yongcheng is not his confidant, but he did not treat him badly, after Liu Jin fell, he also mixed up with the position of the eunuch of the head of the imperial horse eunuch, and he was the second person in the inner court; In recent years, seeing that Zhang Yong has a good temper and has no ability, Ma Yongcheng has the posture of riding on Zhang Yong's neck. It is evident that he flattered in front of Zhengde and went to Beijing several times as a messenger eunuch to convey important intentions.

And these Song Nan can tolerate it, it is common for eunuchs in the inner court to compete for favor, as long as Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng do not make any outrageous moves, Song Nan has never helped each other, the more they look down on each other, the more conducive it is for Song Nan to control them, which is also the way of royalty. But this guy actually colluded with King Ning to report to him, and lured the emperor to continue to eat the poison of the Dragon and Tiger Rejuvenation Pill, which was the main reason why Song Nan decided to punish him severely.

The monotonous sound of the cane echoed in the square of the Fengtian Temple, Ma Yongcheng was still struggling and roaring at the beginning, only twenty battles, Bai Huahua's ass was beaten to pieces, his head was drooped, his hands and feet hung down softly, Li Daniu reached out to probe his snort, and replied: "There is still breath, fainted." ”

Song Nan was silent with a cold face, Li Daniu understood, turned around and shouted: "Fight again, until you die." ”

The cane snapped again, as if it was hit on a pile of unconscious broken cotton wool, Ma Yongcheng never woke up again, when he hit the thirty-seventh cane, there was a sound, and a rod hit the hip bone and broke into two, Li Daniu took the opportunity to probe Ma Yongcheng's nose again, but he had already returned to the world.

After returning to Song Nan, Song Nan waved his hand lightly and said: "Carry it down and rein, and issue a notice throughout the city to let the people know why this person died, and tell the people of the world, and this is how people who collaborate with the enemy and are disloyal." ”

Li Daniu promised with his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the Han generals carried the bloody corpse of Ma Yongcheng and disappeared outside the Fengtian Gate.

From beginning to end, the civil and military officials who arrived one after another looked at this scene in amazement, with different expressions. It stands to reason that the eunuchs of the inner court should be happy to receive the court staff, but they felt a chill in their hearts; In their impression, Song Nan has never done such a high-profile and cruel thing, Song Nan is indeed cunning and vicious, but it is all an unsightly ploy in a place where there is no light, like this, in broad daylight, the eunuch of the head of the imperial horse prison in the inner court will be beaten to death, if it is ordered by the emperor, it will be fine, if it is not ordered by the emperor, it will be too terrible.

When Ma Yongcheng was still breathing, Song Nan ordered to fight again, and Fei Hong, a cabinet scholar, actually wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but was pulled by Yang Tinghe, who was standing aside with an indifferent face.

"What are you anxious about? So many adults are not in a hurry, but you want to come out? ”

"Yang Gong, I don't want to stand up for Ma Yongcheng, look at this posture, Ma Yongcheng must have committed the crime of homicide, I just don't resentment Song Nan for acting so recklessly, even if Ma Yongcheng is guilty, it also needs to be reviewed and convicted and executed by the three law divisions, what kind of system is it to be beaten to death like this? Besides, Ma Yongcheng repeatedly asked to see the emperor, I don't know if the emperor knows about it. ”

"Fei Gong, you don't want to think about it, this Ma Yongcheng came up with Song Nan's thigh, he is involved in many things, will Song Nan be a law-abiding person? How could he allow the three law divisions to interrogate Ma Yongcheng? Isn't that going to be a leak? So he had to cut through the mess quickly. This Song Nan is getting more and more terrifying, to be honest, the old man now has a great fear of him. ”

"Yang Gong, since you know this secret, why don't you stop it? Isn't that a good opportunity? ”

Yang Tinghe glanced at Fei Hong, his eyes were quite disappointed, and he said in a low voice: "You don't look at when this is, King Ning rebelled, Song Nan is eight out of ten today. Jiu Yao was ordered to lead the army to conquer, and at this time, the emperor would never punish Song Nan for Ma Yongcheng. The reason why Song Nan is so bold and reckless is also because he saw this opportunity, and it was boring for us to obstruct it. Besides, Ma Yongcheng is to blame, Song Nan deserved to kill him, the old man knew that there was collusion between him and King Ning, but there was no real evidence, and Song Nan made a move. ”

Fei Hong puffed out his eyes and said: "Having said that, Song Nan is so domineering, this is to stand up in front of hundreds of officials, where is it difficult to choose, but in front of Fengtian Palace, in front of hundreds of officials, this guy has no intentions." ”

Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said: "Calm down, although we can't obstruct it, but the palace can talk about it later, I don't believe that the emperor has no ideas in his heart; Even if it is a small pimple in the emperor's heart, it is good, besides, we still have big things to plan at present, but don't make extraneous branches at this time, big things are important, you have to remember this. ”

Fei Hong was silent, he knew what the big thing Yang Tinghe was referring to was, it was definitely not King Ning's rebellion, in Yang Tinghe's eyes, that big thing was that after King Ning was forced to rebel, the candidate for the emperor's heir became the focus of contention, and that was the top priority for Yang Tinghe to do.

The heavy gate of the Fengtian Hall slowly opened, and the two eunuchs on duty stepped out of the door and preached loudly: "Please go to the court to discuss matters." ”

The hundred officials broke free from the terrifying scene just now, and whispered in a low voice as they stepped up the high steps and entered the main hall.

Song Nan and Zhang Lun stepped into the hall side by side, perhaps because they had not been in the hall for too long, and they were a little unfamiliar with the Fengtian Palace, although the hall was filled with the smell of incense emitted by the copper incense burner, but Song Nan somehow actually smelled the rotten musty smell behind the aroma. Just like the master of the main hall with a pale face and a mouth open and sitting listlessly on the dragon throne, all the qiē seemed to have the smell of decaying tombs, which made people feel bad.

The hall is brightly lit, at this time the sun outside has gone down, this is an out-and-out late dynasty, and it is also one of the few late dynasties since Zhengde ascended the throne, each time it was forced to hold the evening dynasty when the country was in turmoil, and this time it was the same.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhenguo has returned fairly, which shows that the rumor that Zhenguo Gong died at the hands of the rebels is a rumor, and I am very happy. Therefore, I convened this evening court, firstly, to dispel the rumors in front of the ministers, and secondly, to formally discuss with you the matter of countering the rebellion of the imperial court. Zhengde spoke softly, interspersed with heavy gasps from time to time.

The officials looked at Song Nan and congratulated one after another.

Zhang Lun said: "Congratulations to Zhenguo Gong on his return unharmed, it turns out that this may be a rumor spread by the rebels, the purpose is to shake the hearts of my Ming army, when the rumor first started, I concluded that this was a trick, but unfortunately some people firmly believe that it is true, it is really ridiculous." ”

The eyes of the ministers fell on the scholar Liang Chu, Song Nan understood that it must be in the court discussion that he was not present, and Liang Chu firmly believed that he was dead.

Liang Chu coughed a little embarrassed to cover up, but didn't say anything, but Zhengde waved his hand and said: "British duke, there is no need to entangle this, after all, Song Nan has no news, and the news that comes has a nose and eyes, and even I believe it for three points, which is not a big deal." Song Nan, you are from Jiangxi, can you tell me and all of you about the situation. ”

Song Nan stepped out of Lie Shili and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister returned safely this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that he almost died in Jiangxi, when he left Jiangxi, Zhu Chenhao sent people to pursue, and let the mountain bandits block the way, and the minister almost lost his hand." Later, the minister changed his route and went directly to the sea from Quanzhou, and arrived in Tianjin after seven or eight days of sea sailing, which avoided their siege, so the minister had no understanding of the shape in the past few days at sea, and the minister didn't even know anything about when King Ning rebelled, and was about to hear the details. ”

The ministers were secretly frightened, Song Nan said it lightly, but he could imagine that Zhu Chenhao actually forced Song Nan to return to Beijing by sea, which shows the sinister nature of the form; Some people also secretly regret why this guy can't die? Zhu Chenhao is also incapable, he was escaped by Song Nan in his own territory, you need to know that once Song Nan escapes, Zhu Chenhao is afraid that he will have no chance to succeed.

Everyone, including Song Nan's opponents, had to admit the fact that Song Nan was the most reassuring one of the dynasties in leading his troops to fight, and no matter how bad the shape was, he was able to quickly turn the situation around, which had been proven in the several battles he commanded, and there was no need to doubt it anymore.
