Chapter 887: Refusing to open the city
Ma Ye and his entourage hurriedly greeted them and came to the city wall, but they saw a team outside the city waving flags, the first was the Daming Dragon Flag and the Sun and Moon Hanging Sky Flag, and the back was the "Zhou Wanghu" character banner symbolizing Zhou King Zhu Su, which was indeed His Royal Highness the King of Zhou.
It's just that outside the city, in addition to the soldiers and horses of His Royal Highness King Zhou, there are many barbarians wearing short jackets, and these people must be the Yi people in the western part of the water.
"Your Highness...... Actually came with the Yimin of Shuixi? Behind Ma Ye, the deputy commander made Ye An's face pale. The Fifth Highness is with the people in the west of the water and is violent, how does this look like a Xingshi asking for guilt. He asked Ma Ye sneeringly: "Lord Tongzhi, ...... Are we still out of the city to greet each other? ”
Ma Ye was also ugly and in a dilemma. Things were once again out of his expectations, he thought that Zhu Su should come to Guiyang City to find him first and ask what had happened.
In that case, he used some rhetoric, prevarication, and maybe he could drag out a foolproof plan. But now that the Shuixi tribes are obviously preconceived, if the Shuixi Yi people are released into the city, they will have to detain Aicui again, how can they be willing?
But you can put the haze green...... Isn't it true that he was guilty of detaining Tusi without permission? Don't forget, Tusi is also the official of the Ming Dynasty!
“…… Acquaintance? Seeing that the team outside the city was getting closer and closer, Ye An said eagerly.
“…… You can't open the city. Ma Ye gritted his teeth, he didn't do it, he didn't stop it, he was Queen Ma's nephew, and he was the only surviving relative of the queen today, if he just offended King Zhou, no matter what the two said, they would be relatives, and His Majesty was the most tolerant of relatives today, maybe for the sake of the queen who had just passed away, he would scold himself for two sentences, and it would be over.
But he is good at detaining the toast...... If you admit this crime, your life will be over. Now that military exploits can be sealed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his Ma family.
He Ma Ye thinks that he is not weaker than others, if he was born a few years early, he may not be able to compete with Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, etc. was finally transferred to this wild land full of foreigners, is he willing to guard for a guard, let himself waste the rest of his life, and bury his talent?
In this world, there are always people who have no self-knowledge, but they think very highly of themselves, and they are full of thinking that they just don't have a chance, so they haven't met it. As soon as he has the opportunity, he will do whatever it takes, thinking that he will definitely be able to seek wealth in danger and succeed in his gamble...... Ma Ye is this kind of person, not to mention, he also thinks that he has this layer of gold body of Queen Ma's relatives.
He was transferred from the guard post in the Taiping Land, full of thoughts that he would accumulate military merits, so that he could lead his troops to the outer regions and seal the territory in the future. And how does the land of Yungui accumulate military merits? It is nothing more than quelling the rebellion and helping the court to change the land and return to the stream. However, he is also a defender of the territory, and it is not his turn to fight the rebellion.
In this way, if you want to make a contribution, you can only force yourself to rule the Tusi.
Therefore, even if he knew that King Zhou was coming, he didn't think about letting Ai Cui go obediently, but thought about delaying time...... When the Shuixi tribes couldn't stand it anymore and raised troops to make a rebellion, even if the imperial court found out afterwards that they had indeed detained Ai Cui, it was also a "prophetic sense" and "strategizing", which was not only without fault, but also meritorious.
But the Fifth Highness Zhu Su was aggressive, and he came directly with most of the people in the western part of the water. If these Shuixi people and horses are put into the city, it is tantamount to opening the door and robbing, if they don't let go of the mist and cui, the Yi people of Shuixi will definitely riot. They now have the support of His Royal Highness King Zhou, and they really can't afford to provoke them.
Rather than so...... It's better not to open the city gate, and only ask His Royal Highness King Zhou to talk about it alone. Maybe there will be a turnaround!
Zhu Su and Mrs. Shezi led the people to the city of Guiyang, thinking that even if Ma Ye did not go out of the city to greet him, he would definitely open the city gate and wait in the city gate. Unexpectedly, until he walked to the foot of this Guiyang City, he looked at Guiyang Wei on the city gate from a distance, and the city gate did not open at all.
Zhu Su's complexion immediately became difficult to look at.
Zhu Su's personal guard general Di Meng saw that Zhu Su was already angry, and hurriedly galloped forward a few steps and scolded towards the city tower: "The troops in the city, aren't they blind? Didn't you see His Royal Highness King Zhou? ”
"You are so bold, why don't you open the city gate quickly and welcome His Highness into the city!"
The people in charge of the garrison on the city tower are naturally the officers and soldiers of the Guizhou Guard. If it is not too late today, Zhu Su's prince Daxu is very gorgeous, and it is too reluctant to quibble that he did not see it. But they were commanded by the Lord not to open the gates. The military order was like a mountain, and they had to look at each other in the face of Di Meng's questioning, and their hearts were uneasy.
However, their general, Ma Ye, soon came forward. Although he decided not to let the people of Shui Xi Yi enter the city, Ma Ye did not dare to let Zhu Su wait under the city for a long time to further annoy him, so he immediately showed his head on the city tower and shouted outside the city: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the last general Ma Ye, I have seen Your Highness......"
"Ma Ye." Seeing that Ma Ye appeared, Zhu Su didn't need Di Meng to do it for him, but personally drove the horse out of the crowd in front of Mrs. Shezi. His tone was extremely cold, and there was a power in his voice that could not be disobeyed. "You're going to rebel?"
There was a sudden uproar in the city, and Ma Ye hurriedly explained: "Your Highness forgives your sins!" The last general has no intention of offending, but His Royal Highness came with the Shuixi tribes, and the last general has the responsibility to defend the land, and he does not dare to let the rebels from Shuixi enter the city......"
His words really annoyed Mrs. Sherz, Mrs. Sherz couldn't help it anymore, and galloped forward a few steps, her apricot eyes widened, and she reprimanded loudly: "Ma Ye! I, Shuixi, am loyal to the imperial court, how can I ever be a rebel? ”
"It's you, who detained my husband without authorization, and hindered His Highness from entering the city, and also made a lot of nonsense in the city, framing Zhongliang, you say, who is the rebel?"
The woman's voice was already quite high, and Mrs. Sherz was furious, giving up her usual image of gentleness and virtuousness, and shouting quite violently. This sound was really sonic and loud, and it was heard very clearly in the city and under the city.
But that Ma Ye turned a deaf ear, but said to His Highness: "Your Highness, the wolf in the west of the water has ambitions, and he has long had a plan to rebel. The last general was not to snub His Highness, but he was really afraid that His Highness would be deceived by Shuixi and made a bait for them to deceive the city and enter the city. ”
"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can teach the Yi people in Shuixi to retreat for three miles, and the last general will send people and horses to welcome His Highness into the city...... If Shuixi does not retreat, the last general will bear the responsibility of defending the land, and he will definitely not dare to open the city! ”
After Ma Ye finished speaking, he made a loyal appearance, but he really looked like Zhou Yafu with a mountain of military orders. He thought to himself that as long as he bit to death and did not let the Yi people of Shuixi enter the city, the situation would be promising: if His Royal Highness entered the city alone, he could slander himself, or find a way to be perfunctory and secretly continue to force Shuixi; If His Royal Highness does not enter the city, he can also be said to be for the sake of the overall situation. Left and right are responsible for defending the land, even if they offend the prince and the prince, they can barely be justified.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Su didn't eat his set at all, but still had a face like ice, and confided in his words......
