After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Zhu Lunkui and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have never read a book and am afraid of being harmed by a traitor. Therefore, after His Majesty issued an order, he specially checked the imperial etiquette of the Emperor Ming Dynasty. It clearly stipulates that each guard guardian is 5,600! Your Majesty's imperial edict says that I will give you two guards. Isn't this exactly 11,200?"

The emperor and the elders in the hall did not expect Ma Cheng to say this, and they were stunned for a moment.

Ma Cheng was right. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that each guard was 5,600, and the princes and three guards were 16,800. However, these were all legal provisions. At that time, some princes had far exceeded this number, and the number of guards of King Yan Zhu Di had 30,000. As for King Ning and others, there were only a few more.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial ancestor teachings were two hundred years ago, and it was really inappropriate to use them at the moment. Besides, few princes obeyed them back then, and after Zhu Di took office, he even reduced all the princes and three guards.

When Qian Qianyi heard Ma Cheng say this, he quickly said, "This is all quibbling. Even if you are right, what about forming an army privately?"

After hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Ma Cheng said slowly, "Mr. Qian, it seems that one of his official positions is Nandu Guard. Is it wrong to reorganize the army under his jurisdiction as Nandu Guard?"

Ma Cheng's words are somewhat erratic. It is true that Ma Cheng is the garrison of Nandu, and it is reasonable to properly reorganize his own army. However, more than 100,000 troops were organized without the emperor's consent and without the Ministry of War's writings, Ma Cheng was organized by himself. It is indeed a bit unruly. If you really want to talk about it, Ma Cheng will take on the responsibility of neglecting his duties.

However, this crime cannot kill Ma Cheng. Qian Qianyi also knew it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why should I take more than 100,000 prisoners of war as slaves and tenants? Isn't this what the Nandu guard should take care of?"

Then he knew that Ma Cheng was still slow and said, "I also have the position of the Grand General of the Central Army. I have investigated the imperial Ming ancestral teachings. The Central Army Governor's Office is responsible for the 36 guards inside and outside the Nandu City. It is reasonable to ask these prisoners of war to go to the military camp! As for what the slaves and tenants mentioned by Lord Qian, this is nonsense. Lord Qian can go and check it. I have not confiscated these prisoners of war and reported to me. They are all under the military registration of the 36 guards!"

Qian Qianyi was so angry that he heard Ma Cheng say that Ma Cheng was the chief general of the Central Army. It would be a matter of minutes to transfer these more than 100,000 people to military registration. If Qian Qianyi checked now, he would not have to think that all the materials for these more than 100,000 people were fully prepared, and even each person could clearly cultivate a few acres of land.

"Ma Cheng, even if you are right, it is true that you have not approved by the emperor and have no written documents from the Ministry of War? So, Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish Ma Cheng for his crime of not following the imperial edict!"

Not obeying the imperial edict is also a death sentence. It seems that Qian Qianyi is preparing to kill Ma Cheng today. Ma Shiying, who was standing aside, could of course not watch his son be in trouble. He was about to stand up and speak, but he knew that Ma Cheng knelt on the ground with a gurgle and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, I have heard rumors outside that I am Yue Fei in the past few months, but I don't believe it at all. Can Your Majesty make the mistake of destroying the Great Wall by himself? But I didn't expect that Your Majesty is not Zhao Gou, but Qin Hui is in the court!"

Needless to say, the Qin Hui mentioned by Ma Cheng is Qian Qianyi. In fact, according to official positions and character, Ma Shiying is more like Qin Hui, and no matter how much he takes, it is not as good as Qian Qianyi.

After Ma Cheng said that, he stood up and took off the black hat on his head and the python robe he gave him.

He only wore a white middle robe, and then knelt on the ground again and cried, "Your Majesty, I was originally a playboy and had never read any books, but I knew the righteousness of the country and was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor! In the Wuying Palace, I killed the fake prince for the sake of the emperor and killed all the civil officials who supported the fake prince! I also fought with the Northern Barbarians for ten months for the sake of the emperor for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Ma Cheng said that, he took off his middle cloak, revealing his scars all over his body, and then cried, "Your Majesty, look, these are all left by the Northern Barbarians for me! These ministers didn't take them seriously, because they were all for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, and they would rather die. But Your Majesty cannot listen to the villain's slander, and it has made the hearts of the ministers and the meritorious soldiers! I now know that I offended someone in the court, so I resigned today and was willing to become a commoner. Please do not let me die unjustly like Yue Fei!"

Ma Cheng's generous speech was really shocking. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no hero who dared to say that Emperor. Even Xu Da, the founding hero of the country, and Chang Yuchun, could not do it. But Ma Cheng knew that Zhu Lunkui was not Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Lunkui did not have the courage and means of Zhu Yuanzhang. Today, Zhu Lunkui asked himself to come here just to suppress Ma Cheng, and definitely not to really kill Ma Cheng. So Ma Cheng decided to play big. Is it true that you, Zhu Lunkui, really dare to kill the hero who supports you?

Ma Cheng was right this time, and Zhu Lunkui was probably not much better than Zhu Yousong, and he was incomparable to his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. Today, he called Ma Cheng to use the matter of the guards to suppress Ma Cheng and reduce the rights in Ma Cheng's hands.

But Zhu Lunkui did not expect Ma Cheng to react so strongly and directly gave up the merit of supporting. Although Zhu Lunkui hated that people always mentioned supporting, the fact is that Ma Cheng sacrificed his life to support you as the emperor a year ago, and even led the army to defeat the Qing army, allowing you to firmly sit on the throne of the emperor. Now you have to deal with Ma Cheng in turn, which is unreasonable.

Zhu Lunkui is now forced by Ma Cheng and has no idea what to do. If he does what Qian Qianyi said, he will kill Ma Cheng, but he cannot accept it if he kills Ma Cheng. But according to what Ma Cheng said, he will kill Qian Qianyi, Qin Hui, but he is about to win over Qian Qianyi to fight Ma Shiying. How can he kill Qian Qianyi now? Zhu Lunkui didn't know what to do for a moment and was stunned.

Ma Shiying didn't expect Ma Cheng to say this, and directly jumped out of Qian Qianyi's trap and raised the incident to the point where the emperor wanted to kill and support the heroes. These were enough for the emperor and Qian Qianyi to accept. Ma Shiying thought about it and decided not to say anything, it depends on what the emperor did.

Qian Qianyi didn't expect that he would not be able to prepare so well in the end. He didn't expect that Ma Cheng was so cruel and walked to a dead end in one step. Now the emperor only has two options left, either killing Ma Cheng or Qian Qianyi.

Just when everyone in the hall was not talking, Ruan Dacheng found that this was a good opportunity, a chance to sell the emperor, give the emperor a step forward, and make friends with Qian Qianyi.

Ruan Dacheng thought at first that Ma Cheng would definitely be in trouble today. Although he would not lose his head, he probably wouldn't be able to keep the job guarding Nandu. This is also one of the emperor's established policies. All important positions must not be handed over to Ma Cheng alone, and there must be separation of power and balances.

But what Ruan Dacheng didn't expect was that Ma Cheng had very superb skills and directly forced the emperor to choose one of him and Qian Qianyi, which made the emperor embarrassed. Of course.

This is also the opportunity for Ruan Dacheng. Although Ruan Dacheng had a crush on the Donglin Party back then, and even Ruan Dacheng persecuted the Donglin Party a year ago. But once and for a while, now Ruan Dacheng's biggest enemy has become Ma Shiying. Only when Ma Shiying is brought to him can he be the chief assistant.

Now that the emperor cannot come to Taiwan, it is Ruan Dacheng's chance. Ruan Dacheng pointed at Ma Cheng and cursed, "Ma Cheng, you kid are too arrogant! Who do you think you are? His Majesty, my emperor, and the inheritance of the great throne was recognized by his ancestors. How did it become your great achievements? You just happened to be a coincidence and had some minor achievements. Now you are here to roar in the imperial throne. Do you know what crime you have committed?"

After Ruan Dacheng scolded Ma Cheng, he turned to Zhu Lunkui and said, "Your Majesty, this kid Ma Cheng is a martial artist. He has never read any books. Although he is loyal in his heart, his words are a bit too much. Please spare this kid for Ma Cheng's merit of defending the city!"

Although Ruan Dacheng seemed to be mixed on the surface, his words eased the awkward atmosphere. Zhu Lunkui quickly smiled and said, "I know that Ma Qing has made great contributions, and I will never let the blood of the heroes flow in vain!"

After Zhu Lunkui said that, he said to the eunuch, "Are you all dead? Why don't you come and put on your official uniform for the Zhenguo Marquis, and took an embroidered pallet for the Zhenguo Marquis to sit down!"

Ruan Dacheng's actions opened up the situation, but Ma Cheng was unhappy. There was a reason for him to do this today. Because Ma Cheng received the news that the King of Lu of Hangzhou had formed an army of 100,000 and returned the edict that Zhu Lunkui persuaded him to abdicate, and was preparing to use troops against Zhu Lunkui, but Nanjing had not received the news yet.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Cheng had to offend the emperor intently. It would be best if the emperor took his official position to the end, and then when the Lu King's army attacked Nanjing, then the emperor would not be a problem that the emperor would be able to meet when he came to ask Ma Cheng again.

For this purpose, Ma Cheng placed prisoners of the Qing army without asking for instructions. Otherwise, even though he could not get the imperial edict, he still had a handful of writing to the Ministry of War.

But Ma Cheng had a good plan, but now Ruan Dacheng was disrupted. Ma Cheng was so angry that he cursed Ruan Dacheng in his heart, do you know that the more I lose now, the more I get in the future!

But the emperor has given in his favor now, and Ma Cheng has no choice but to put the shit basin on his head. "Your Majesty, I know that I did something wrong just now, and I also know that I have a serious sin. Therefore, I am willing to hand over all my official positions and go home to meditate in vain!"

Ma Cheng's change in attitude made everyone in the hall lose their eyes. He had only seen those who were promoted to death, and those who had never pushed their official positions out.

Zhu Lunkui thought Ma Cheng was talking nonsense, so he had to persuade him, "Ma Qing, although you did something wrong with the prisoners of war, you will not be exempted from office. This is how it is! Ma Qing handed over the Nandu guards, and all other official positions will be the same!"

This is also Zhu Lunkui's bottom line, but then he knew that Ma Cheng was not satisfied and said to the side, "Your Majesty, I really know that I am wrong, so I must resign from all official positions! Please forgive me!"

When Zhu Lunkui heard what was going on? However, it was a good thing that Ma Cheng was willing to delegate power, and he would not have to worry about Ma Cheng's rebellion in the future. Zhu Lunkui thought that since you, Ma Cheng, wanted to hand over the military power, I would satisfy your wish.
