The square in front of the Ganqing Palace gate was full of dead people, and this was not a good place for negotiation. Ma Shiying waved his hand and took everyone into the Ganqing Palace. Ma Cheng asked his subordinates to escort the Donglin Party to enter the Ganqing Palace together.

The situation in the Ganqing Palace was better, and there were no dead people. Ma Cheng found a few eunuchs, cleaned up the dragon throne, and then pressed Zhu Lunkui on the dragon throne again.

Zhu Lunkui only had a few hours left his dragon throne, but once and for a while, the comfortable dragon throne used to be sitting is now like needles and needles.

Zhu Lunkui sat carefully on the dragon throne and said, "My dear friends, I believe in the slander of the eunuch Lu Jiude. I am wrong. Now I entrust the country's affairs to Ma Shiying. I will go back to the harem to recuperate!"

As soon as Zhu Lunkui said this, the Donglin Party quit. Huang Daozhou pushed away the soldiers who were guarding him and jumped out and pointed at Ma Shiying and cursed: "Ma Shiying, traitor! You don't want to harm the country and the people, you still have to control the government this time. What do you want to do? Do you want to be Wang Mang and Cao Cao?"

He jumped out with Huang Daozhou, his good student Qi Biaojia. This guy was originally incompatible with Ma Cheng, but now he is even more honest. He jumped out and ran towards Ma Cheng, reaching out to strangle Ma Cheng to death.

Although Qi Biaojia led the troops to fight, he was a civil servant after all. He was not the opponent of Ma Cheng in full armor. He was kicked by Ma Cheng and bent his legs aside. Ma Cheng captured the Donglin Party this time because of his authority, and there was no possibility of Ma Shiying and the Donglin Party anymore. So when he saw Qi Biaojia fall, Ma Cheng stepped forward and pulled out the waist of the personal soldiers on the side and killed Qi Biaojia with one knife.

There were many records of fighting between court ministers in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but the first one was killed in front of the emperor. Huang Daozhou saw his beloved disciple being cut to death, howled and rushed over, grabbed Qi Biaojia's hands and shouted: "Youwen, Youwen! I'm sorry for you, my teacher!"

When Qi Biaojia was removed from office and returned to his hometown, Huang Daozhou wrote a letter to Qi Biaojia, asking him to come out to assist Lu Wang. Unexpectedly, Huang Daozhou's letter caused Qi Biaojia to die tragically in the Ganqing Palace.

Ma Cheng held a sharp knife with blood in his hand and looked at Zhu Lunkui ferociously, saying, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Qi Biaojia, the governor of Nanzhili, and the party affiliated with Lu Jiude, intending to assassinate the emperor. Now he will put him on the spot to rectify the Dharma to serve as a warning to others!"

Qi Biaojia was taken by Ma Cheng's soldiers, so what's the saying of assassinating the emperor? Not to mention that the party is attached to Lu Jiude. But now Ma Cheng has an army in his hands, so he can naturally be charged with any crime. Zhu Lunkui was so scared by Ma Cheng that he couldn't pull it in his pants, and said tremblingly: "What I said... is right. Qi Biaojia is going to be the first to fight against him, and he killed him well!"

Ma Cheng smiled and turned to the rest of Donglin Party members and said, "Did you all hear it? Who else doesn't want to live and prepare to resist us father and son?"

Five or six people came to the Donglin Party this time, and there were also a few people who were not afraid of death. Jie Xuelong, the Minister of Justice, stood up and said expressionlessly: "Ma Cheng, there is one more man. You can kill us, but can you kill all the scholars in the world?"

Ma Cheng was already red in his eyes, staring at the blood-red eyes and asked, "You are there!" After that, he went up and stabbed Jie Xuelong to death, and then asked loudly, "Who else?"

Ma Cheng looked at the remaining Donglin Party members with red eyes. Those who were not afraid of death had been killed, and the rest did not want to be killed innocently. The Zuodu Censor Zhang Jinyan had already been scared to death.

Hearing Ma Cheng's shouting, when he saw Ma Cheng's red eyes, he quickly knelt down and said stutteringly: "I...I respect the imperial edict!"

It is easy to have the lead. Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi, the remaining Donglin Party, also knelt down to show that they obey the emperor's will. After all, they only have one life. Although these old guys are all seventy-year-old, no one will think they have a long life.

Huang Daozhou, who was crying with Qi Biaojia's body on the ground, saw that things were like this, cried to the sky: "Emperor Taizu, if you have the spirit in Tian, ​​please see your unfilial descendants!" After Huang Daozhou said that, he stood up and rushed towards the large pillar of the golden nanmu in the Ganqing Palace, and hit the pillar head-on, and his skull was broken and he died.

All the opposition died. Ma Cheng called a little eunuch over and asked him to put a chair under the emperor's dragon throne. Then Ma Cheng came to Ma Shiying and said to Ma Shiying: "Dad, please sit in the emperor's lower head!"

Ma Shiying was also afraid of his son at this time. Ma Cheng was already red in his eyes. Who knew what he was going to do next? Ma Shiying had no choice but to sit in the emperor's lower head. Ma Cheng said to Emperor Zhu Lunkui: "Your Majesty, my father works hard and makes merits. Are you willing to be the regent?"

What else could Zhu Lunkui say at this time? Nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I am willing, I am willing! I just need Ma Qing to do this like this to help govern the country!"

After saying that, Zhu Lunkui shouted to the ministers below: "Hurry, quickly draw an order! Ma Qing is appointed as the regent. He will not go to the court, praise him and worship him, and go to the palace with his sword and shoes!" After saying that, Zhu Lunkui looked at Ma Cheng, and then said: "Ma Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenguo, has outstanding military achievements and has been promoted to Duke Zhenguo! Ma Luan and Ma Xi are promoted to Duke!"

There was only one Duke Zhenguo in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao. Ma Cheng was very satisfied with the reward and stepped down and knelt on the ground with all the ministers and said, "I will obey the order! Long live Your Majesty!"

You should know that Ma Shiying is sitting at the emperor's head now. These ministers kneeled down to worship the emperor and even Ma Shiying knelt together. Just now, Ma Shiying was still hesitating whether to accept the title of regent, but when he saw his former colleague kneeling in front of him and saying long live, his greed for power immediately swelled up. It turned out that it felt so good to sit on it.

Ma Shiying looked at Zhu Lunkui who was frightened beside him and thought to himself: Since this position is so good, wouldn’t the emperor’s dragon throne be better?

The Wuzi Incident came to an end at this time. This coup began with the emperor Zhu Lunkui trying to seize military power, and ended with Ma Shiying becoming a powerful minister. In the official history of later generations, there was a deep taboo on the Wuzi Incident, and the entire coup was only a few short sentences and more than twenty words. There was no way. Later emperors were all direct descendants of Ma Cheng. It was impossible to say that their ancestors planned to usurp the throne, so they planned to be Cao Cao early on.

It is precisely because of the more than twenty words recorded in official history that he created a great imagination space for later historians. In the hundred years after Ma Cheng's death, various novels and unofficial history emerged one after another, and they interpreted the Wuzi Incident from their own perspectives, but the real process of the coup was actually destroyed in the long river of history.

History is still far away, and reality still needs to continue. After the Qing Dynasty, Ma Shiying took the civil officials out of the palace, but Ma Cheng still needs to clean up the chaos in the palace. The guards loyal to Zhu Lunkui and the Jinyiwei in the palace have all been killed, but the emperor cannot without guards. At the same time, Ma Cheng also needs to control the emperor, so this inner city admiral

Ma Cheng, the official position of the Nandu governor and the Minister of Guards, was appointed as the Minister of the Inner Guards.

Of course, Ma Cheng was just a name, and he could not stay in the imperial city every day to watch Zhu Lunkui, so the choice became the key after Ma Cheng left. Ma Cheng thought for a long time and decided to let An Zhennan, whom he trusted the most, come to serve. An Zhennan was an Yi person and had no feelings for the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, An Zhennan was Ma Cheng's confidant and a personal soldier of the Gu family. He would not be bribed anyway. So Ma Cheng decided to ask An Zhennan to lead 10,000 new troops and the Yulin Right Guard stationed in the imperial city, named Gongwei Central, which was actually to monitor the emperor Zhu Lunkui.

The guards in the imperial city were solved, but the problem of guarding the palace city could not be solved. The guards in the palace city were always responsible for the trusted eunuchs. In the past, it was Lu Jiude, but the current candidates made Ma Cheng difficult.

Just as Ma Cheng was considering whether Gu Yong would castrate himself and become a eunuch in the palace, Ma Cheng's good friend Changqing came in.

This time, Ma Cheng returned to Nanjing and brought Chang Qing back. Although Ma Cheng used to be very fond of Chang Qing, Ma Cheng was a ruthless guy. This kind of Longyang friend lost interest after playing for a few days. Today, the city was in chaos, and Ma Cheng's wives and concubines were worried about Ma Cheng, but they were all women and were inconvenient to go out, so they had to send eunuchs like Chang Qing to find Ma Cheng.

When Ma Cheng saw Changqing coming in, he felt moved. He also had a eunuch he trusted, wasn’t it just Changqing? Although it was a pity that Changqing came to the palace to serve Zhu Lunkui, Ma Cheng had no one available at the moment.

After coming in and giving the ceremony, Changqing said, "Master, I am entrusted by my wife to ask when the master will return home?"

When Ma Cheng heard Chang Qing say this, he remembered that he hadn't returned home yet!

"How is it at home? Is it a military disaster?"

"Master, there were indeed soldiers from the Military Police who came to attack in the morning, but under the command of Lord Gu, they were beaten out! More than 100 guards in the mansion died, and more than 40 servants died! Several ladies were safe!"

Ma Cheng was very satisfied when he heard that there was nothing at home, but more than a hundred people died in his most elite guards. It is conceivable how fierce the battle was at that time.

Ma Cheng pulled Changqing over and sat on his lap, then touched his little white hand and asked, "Changqing, it's not a big deal for you to be by my side. You know that the wife is very jealous. If I can't take care of the master in the future, you will suffer a loss!"

Chang Qing originally thought that Ma Cheng wanted to be kind to him, but when he heard Ma Cheng say this, he immediately cried: "Master, why don't you want me? I will never say it hurts again. I will definitely serve my master with all my heart!"

Ma Cheng was distracted when he heard Chang Qing say this, but now he still has some serious things to do. Ma Cheng smiled and said, "It's not that you don't want you, it's that you ask you to do something for the master and monitor someone!"

Chang Qing was relieved when he heard Ma Cheng say this, patted his chest with his little hand, and then said, "Master is so bad, Qing'er is so scary!"

Changqing's tone was the same as a woman. Seeing that Ma Cheng could no longer control this, he stripped Changqing away in the garrison mansion and prepared to do his good deeds with him.

After the incident, Chang Qing asked with a charming look: "Master, who are you going to monitor?"
