Chapter 233 confrontation
When Ma Cheng heard Ruan Dacheng rejected him, he was not angry, but laughed and said: Since you asked your father-in-law to report to the emperor, your son-in-law is ill and he really cannot lead his troops to the war!
Ruan Dacheng was very angry when he saw Ma Cheng's appearance and cursed: Ma Cheng, what are you going to do?
Of course, Ma Cheng couldn't say that he wanted to learn from Sima Zhao, so he found a reason to say: Father-in-law, it's very simple. Look at the emperor distrusts me so much about my father and son, and forgets the support of the past. The son-in-law has no choice but to do this for his family!
After Ma Cheng said that, his eyes rolled, and then said: Please report to the emperor that the son-in-law’s family is in the Nandu City, so please don’t be afraid that the son-in-law has a strange intention. The son-in-law’s family is a hostage!
After hearing Ma Cheng's words, Ruan Dacheng sneered in his heart. Those who have accomplished great things in ancient and modern times are not cruel and ruthless people, and it is useless to use their family to restrain themselves. However, today Ma Cheng had already said this, and Ruan Dacheng knew that his persuasion was useless, so he had no choice but to get up and go back to send a message to the emperor.
Ma Cheng also sent it out of the door, and at the door Ruan Dacheng turned around and said again: Boy, I will pass on your meaning to the emperor, but I don’t know whether the emperor can agree to it!
The son-in-law knew the difficulties of his father-in-law, so he asked his father-in-law to pass on his son-in-law's words! After Ma Cheng said that, he bowed and sent Ruan Dacheng to the sedan chair.
Ruan Dacheng did not dare to delay, so he directly asked the sedan chairman to carry him to the palace. Emperor Zhu Lunkui was also waiting for news about Ruan Dacheng. He heard that Ruan Dacheng was coming and he quickly passed on him.
When Zhu Lunkui saw Ruan Dacheng entering the hall, he urgently asked: What did Ma Cheng say?
Seeing Zhu Lunkui's anxious look, Ruan Dacheng sighed in his heart. This emperor's ability to cultivate energy is really not as good as that of Ma Cheng.
Go back to Your Majesty, I went to see Ma Cheng, and Ma Cheng asked to supervise Jiangnan!
Zhu Lunkui frowned after hearing Ruan Dacheng's words, but Ma Cheng's request was not impossible. It was okay to give Ma Cheng some power at this time, but Ruan Dacheng's words made Zhu Lunkui angry.
Your Majesty, in addition to these Ma Cheng, he also requires military generals, second-rank civil servants, to decide for themselves below the fifth-rank!
After hearing Ruan Dacheng say that, Zhu Lunkui stood up and cursed: What does Ma Cheng want to do? Does he want to establish a new court? This is absolutely not possible! Unless I die!
Ma Cheng's intention to be an official can be said to be greedy, but if he wants the appointment and removal power of civil servants is already challenging the authority of the cabinet and the emperor. As long as Zhu Lunkui is not a puppet emperor, he will definitely not agree to this matter.
After scolding, Zhu Lunkui shouted to Lu Jiude beside him: Lu Jiude, go! Lead the Jinyiwei to arrest Ma Cheng, the villain, and imprison him in the prison of the imperial edict!
When Ruan Dacheng heard that Zhu Lunkui was going crazy and wanted to arrest Ma Cheng, he quickly advised: Your Majesty, you must not! Now the Lu Ni army is in Suzhou and will arrive in Zhenjiang soon. How can he destroy the Great Wall by itself at such a critical moment?
Ruan Dacheng didn't say anything. It has been seen that Ma Cheng has absolute control over the 150,000 elite soldiers outside the city. At this time, if you arrest Ma Cheng, it will be difficult to protect the 150,000 people outside the city to do anything.
Although Ruan Dacheng tried hard to persuade Zhu Lunkui, Zhu Lunkui was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he didn't care what Ruan Dacheng said, but just asked Lu Jiude to arrest people.
Lu Jiude has no choice
He had to take the lieutenant of the Five Hundred Jinyiwei to arrest the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion in Nancheng.
This is the second time that Lu Jiude has come to Ma Cheng's mansion. Last time he came to pass the imperial edict, he only brought more than a dozen guards, but this time he brought five hundred Jinyiwei.
Five hundred people were very loud. As soon as they approached Majia Lane, they were seen by the people from the Ma Mansion. The gatekeepers saw so many Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits coming over, and they were so scared that they hurried into the mansion to report the news.
There are three hundred personal guards in Ma Cheng's mansion. This is the benefit given to him by the emperor and is under the jurisdiction of the Yiwei Department of the Marquis of Zhenguo. The commander of the Yiwei Department is Gu Yong. He heard that a large number of Jinyiwei guards came outside the door, so he quickly took people out and saw what was going on.
Gu Yong came to the door and saw that the Jinyiwei was the eunuch Lu Jiude, the eunuch of the Sili Prison. Gu Yong recognized the eunuch Lu, and stepped forward and asked with his fists: Eunuch Lu, why are you bringing so many guards in the palace?
There are many types of Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei in the palace is different from the Jinyiwei who is not in the patrol office on the street, and the clothes are also different. The Jinyiwei in the palace wears bright yellow flying fish suits when on duty, which is very eye-catching. Many history of later generations say that the flying fish suits are exclusive to the Jinyiwei. In fact, this is wrong. The flying fish suits are the same as the python robe and bullfighting suits. They are clothes given to the emperor. At the same time, the color of the flying fish suits is basically red, and a small part is blue. There is only one kind of bright yellow flying fish suit, that is, the Han generals in the palace who are responsible for defending the emperor can wear them.
Gu Yong is now the third-rank commander, but it is not enough to see Lu Jiude. However, Lu Jiude is very sinister and does not want to get along with Ma Cheng. So when he saw Ma Cheng's confidant Gu Yong come out, Lu Jiude smiled and said: It turns out that he is the great hero Commander Lu. Our family is here to ask the Marquis of Zhenguo to go to the imperial prison for a trip!
Lu Jiude was kind, but everyone knows where the imperial prison is. The Jinyiwei imperial prison is a royal prison. It can bypass the normal judicial procedures of the country. You can arrest anyone with just a single edict from the emperor. When Gu Yong heard Lu Jiude say this, he glared and cursed: What? Your Majesty issued an order to arrest my grandson? Are you falsely passing the imperial edict?
When Lu Jiude heard Gu Yong say this, he had to take out the imperial edict from his arms and said to Gu Yong: Commander Gu, how dare we lie to you for such a big thing? This is the emperor's decree!
I don’t recognize words and don’t want to read any decrees! My life is all my marquis, and I want to capture my marquis! After saying that, Gu Yong pulled out the steel knife from his waist and scolded: Ask the steel knife in his hand first!
Gu Yong was the commander. When he took action, the guards of the Marquis' Mansion of Zhenguo pulled out their knives and prepared to fight with the Jinyiwei in Majiaxiang.
Although these personal guards are far fewer than those of the Jinyiwei, their momentum is not weaker than those of the Jinyiwei. In order to protect his life, Ma Cheng's personal guards who are protected by him are naturally hand-to-hand masters. Each person has more than a dozen or twenty lives in his hands. Not to mention these Jinyiwei brought by Lu Jiude, even if they face the most elite Bayala personal soldiers of the two white flags, they are not at all inferior.
Lu Jiude was also a soldier in Fengyang back then. When he saw the expressions of these guards, he knew that he was a tough guy. Although he had more people than others, he would definitely not be an opponent if he really fought.
The Jinyiwei also pulled out the Xiuchun Sword under the leadership of a thousand households. Although his momentum was not as strong as a human, he could not lose the formation, so the five hundred Jinyiwei also had a well-designed array to prepare for battle.
But on the other hand, Ma Cheng's personal guard did not line up, but three
Five people were in a group, with front and back, and each of them took out a short-handed musket from their arms. When Lu Jiude saw that he had finished shooting, he still had firearms. If he really wanted to fight, he would definitely be the fate of being massacred in this regard.
Just as the two sides were about to take action, a man came from the gate of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion and shouted: Gu Yong, what are you going to do? Don’t retreat yet!
When Lu Jiude heard this voice, he let out a long sigh, and it turned out that Ma Cheng had come out.
When Ma Cheng's personal guard heard his master come out, he quickly made a way out and let Ma Cheng come to the front. Ma Cheng still looked like he was dying, lying on a stretcher. Four Ma Mansion servants carried the stretcher to Lu Jiude.
Eunuch Lu, these personal guards of this marquis are men who don’t rub the sand in their eyes. They have no knowledge. Please don’t take it to heart!
Lu Jiude dared to say something, and quickly explained: It's nothing, I just misunderstood! How is the health of Zhenguo Hou?
Ma Cheng pretended to be sad and said: It's still not possible, you can't sit down, you can only lie down! I wonder what happened to Eunuch Lu this time?
Since this is the case, there is no need to kneel down to receive the order. The emperor asked the old slave to invite the marquis of Zhenguo to go to the jail to learn about some things!
Gu Yong heard Lu Jiude say this by the side and said angrily: Marquis, it is better to rebel against us than the emperor treats us like this! With the Marquis' military achievements, you will definitely be more rewarded when you go to King Lu! After Gu Yong said that, he looked at Lu Jiude with a look of looking at the dead.
Lu Jiude knew how powerful Ma Cheng’s three hundred personal guards were. As long as Ma Cheng nodded now, he would immediately have a different body and head. Thinking of this, Lu Jiude was so scared that he sweated all over and quickly persuaded: Zhenguo Marquis, the emperor definitely did not mean this, he just wanted to ask the Marquis to understand the situation!
What surprised Lu Jiude was that Ma Cheng cursed at Gu Yong: Bastard, what did you say? How could I do such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing? His Majesty the Emperor was deeply affectionate and kind to my Ma family. Ma Cheng could not repay him even if he was broken into pieces. How could he join King Lu?
After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he said to Lu Jiude: Please ask Eunuch Lu to lead the way, and I will go to the imperial prison now!
Gu Yong was very anxious to see Ma Cheng insisting on going to Zhaozhu, but at this time, Wang Xian behind Gu Yong pulled Gu Yong and said a few words in his ear. After hearing this, Gu Yong immediately shouted: Eunuch Lu, does the emperor have the will to exempt my marquis from the title of Marquis of the State?
Lu Jiude didn't know why Gu Yong asked this, so he had to answer like this: No.
That's good. My marquis is still there, so our personal guards will take on the responsibility of protection, and we will also follow the imperial prison! After Gu Yong said that, he waved his hand to his subordinates, and the three hundred personal guards stepped forward to protect Ma Cheng and squeezed the Jinyiwei aside.
The Qianhu, the leader of the Jinyiwei, did not dare to speak. He was far inferior to Gu Yong's commander Gao in terms of identity. Even those ordinary personal guards had hundreds of households and thousands of households. Several of them had made great contributions and were hereditary assistants of the Jinyiwei. The Qianhu did not dare to offend him, so he had to turn around and look at Lu Jiude and want to ask what to do.
