After receiving the news that Ma Cheng did not accept the imperial edict for the second time, Zhu Lunkui had no strength to smash things. Zhu Lunkui cursed: "What official position does this Ma Cheng want? What official position can he be willing to go to war?"

Lu Jiude looked at Qian Qianyi below. Qian Qianyi had no good idea. Now Ma Cheng's official position is the leader of the military general, and he is still the marquis of Zhenguo, as big as the prince. Can he really be named a prince?

Qian Qianyi didn't dare to say that Ma Cheng was the king, but the emperor forced him to do so. Qian Qianyi had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, since Ma Cheng did not accept the order, would you please let Ma Shiying go and persuade him?"

Qian Qianyi meant to ask me to persuade my son. Although Ma Shiying is my son, Ma Shiying is also a vested interest in Zhu Lunkui's small court. If Zhu Lunkui was defeated by Zhu Chang, Ma Shiying would not have any good results.

Qian Qianyi originally thought that the opinions he made were very good, but Zhu Lunkui sighed and said, "Ma Shiying took a leave yesterday to take a break at home, saying that it was a tragedy of the festival!"

Lijie Feng is gout. One of these two men and women is gout and the other is hemorrhoids. It’s a coincidence that they both have an illness at this time.

Qian Qianyi thought about the three people in the cabinet. The chief assistant Ma Shiying asked for sick leave. He had a grudge against Ma Cheng, so he could not go, so he was the only one who could not go.

"Your Majesty, why don't Ruan Dacheng persuade Ma Cheng? Ruan Dacheng is in charge of the Ministry of War and is still considered Ma Cheng's superior. It's just right for him to go!"

Zhu Lunkui had no choice but to hear Qian Qianyi say this. Now he can only be a living person. He hopes that Ruan Dacheng can persuade Ma Cheng to agree to go to the war.

Ruan Dacheng received a message from Lu Jiude at home, and the emperor asked him to persuade Ma Cheng. Ruan Dacheng was now impressed by Ma Cheng. It is unprecedented that he could be able to gain a tribute to Ma Cheng.

Ruan Dacheng was puzzled when he saw Ma Cheng handing over military power in the past, thinking that Ma Cheng really wanted to retreat, but the news from Suzhou reached Nanjing and the incidents in the military camp outside the city made Ruan Dacheng face Ma Cheng.

If Ma Shiying is a gentleman among villains, then Ruan Dacheng is a villain among villains. He has no loyalty to the Ming Dynasty in his heart, but only his greed for power. Now Ma Cheng has shown absolute control over the army. If such a general has no problem in peacetime, it will be dangerous in such a world chaos and may repeat the mistakes of Sima Zhao and Guo Wei.

Ruan Dacheng thought about it and decided to meet Ma Cheng, the boy, to see what he really needed, and to prepare for his future plans.

Ruan Dacheng changed into casual clothes and went out to Ma Cheng's mansion. Now the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion has changed. The black lacquered plaque of the Guiyang Marquis Mansion at the door has been replaced with gold signs. Four large gold characters, Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, hung high on the archway at the intersection of the street.

Walking into the original Majia Lane, now Majia Lane, in the middle is the towering gate of the Ma Mansion. The Marquis of Zhenguo is equivalent to the prince, so there are two corner doors beside the gate of the Ma Mansion, with sixty-four golden door nails on the door, and five pairs of households on the door, which are full of treatment of the prince. Ruan Dacheng stood at the door and looked around. The appearance of the Ma Mansion was much more grand than the previous Duke of Wei.

The gate of the Ma Mansion saw an old man with a beard standing at the door and looking left and right. The gate came out and cursed: "What are you doing, old guy? Don't you know that the whole street belongs to the Zhenguo Hou family? Don't get out of here!"

Ruan Dacheng City

The mansion is very deep, and I can get angry with a disciple there, and I smiled and said, "Go and tell Ma Cheng, just say that his father-in-law is here!"

In ancient times, only the father of the wife could be called the father-in-law Taishan. Although the disciple didn’t know who Ruan Dacheng was, he knew that Ma Cheng’s wife Gu Miaoyin was from Guiyang and the Gu family was a military household. The old man at the door could not have been Ma Cheng’s father-in-law.

"You old guy, are you crazy? Do you know what my father-in-law's identity is? How dare you recognize relatives here? Don't get out of here!"

After the door said that, he was about to push Ruan Dacheng out. At this time, Chen Qi, the butler of the Ma Mansion, came out. Chen Qi was the butler of the Duke of Wei's mansion, so he was naturally familiar with the old guy Ruan Dacheng. Seeing that Ruan Dacheng was Ruan Dacheng at the door, Chen Qi hurried forward and bowed: "Gei Master, why are you here?"

The word "Ge Lao" has a great meaning. When the disciple heard that this old man was Ge Lao, he was so scared that he sat on the ground, trembling all over, and couldn't speak.

But what is Ruan Dacheng's identity? Where can he be a lie with a disciple, and said to Chen Qi: "Where is Ma Cheng? I am here to find him today!"

Chen Qi received Ma Cheng's order and refused if anyone in the court came to visit the disease. Chen Qi heard Ruan Dacheng say this now and said in embarrassment: "Gei Master, my marquis is sick and cannot meet guests!"

Ruan Dacheng smiled and cursed, "Hehe, this kid still wants to hide it from me?" After saying that, Ruan Dacheng ignored Chen Qi and walked inside.

Chen Qi didn't dare to be harsh about Ruan Dacheng. In addition to Ruan Dacheng's identity, Chen Qi also knew that his master and Ruan Dacheng's daughter were unclear. He heard that he had also made a child, so Chen Qi had no choice but to lead the way in front and take Ruan Dacheng to Ma Cheng's residence.

Ma Cheng's relationship with his concubine Kou Baimen has heated up quickly these days. At this time, he was studying calligraphy and painting with Kou Baimen. Of course, studying calligraphy and painting is fake, and getting close to beauty is real. When Ma Cheng and Kou Baimen were studying until the end of the year, they were about to take off their clothes and go to bed to continue their research. At this critical moment, Chen Qi outside the door shouted: "Mr. Marquis, Ruan Ge is here!"

Ma Cheng's little brother was originally tough, but now he heard that Ruan Ge Lao came and became soft. He cursed angrily: "What are the old guy Ruan Dacheng doing at this time?"

Kou Baimen smiled and said, "Ruan Dacheng must have come to lead the army to fight!"

Ma Cheng nodded, put on his clothes under the service of Kou Baimen, and then went out to greet Ruan Dacheng.

When Ruan Dacheng saw Ma Cheng coming out, he asked sarcastically: "I heard that my nephew is in good health. I also know some magical skills, so I come to diagnose my nephew!"

Ma Cheng naturally didn't have to pretend to be fake in front of an old fox like Ruan Dacheng, and laughed: "My father-in-law laughed. How dare the son-in-law use such incompetent means to deceive his father-in-law Taishan? Please come in quickly!"

Seeing Ma Cheng being so honest, Ruan Dacheng nodded with a smile and followed Ma Cheng into the house.

After entering the house, Ma Cheng asked Ruan Dacheng to sit in the first seat and then asked his family to serve tea. Ruan Dacheng took a sip of tea and said, "I am here to thank you for adopting Lijun's son to me!"

Ruan Lizhen gave birth to a son two months ago. Ma Cheng and Ruan Dacheng had made an appointment to adopt Ruan Dacheng as long as they were sons. So Ma Cheng, the cheap son, became Ruan Dacheng's grandson, named Ruan.

Ma Cheng heard Ruan Dacheng joke, "Don't take it to heart, father-in-law.

, It's just a small matter!" Ma Cheng has many sons, and it's nothing more than one more. It's better to make a personal favor to Ruan Dacheng, not to mention that this son can inherit Ruan Dacheng's wealth. Where can I find such a good thing?

Ruan Dacheng didn't know Ma Cheng's dirty mind, and continued, "Is the second thing? I was entrusted by the emperor to ask you how you can lead your troops to the expedition?"

When Ma Cheng heard Ruan Dacheng say this, he laughed and said, "My father-in-law is straightforward. Since this is the case, the son-in-law will not be beaten up. Just give the son-in-law the right to make a decision at the moment! There are also second-rank military officers in the war zone and fifth-rank civil servants must be appointed by the son-in-law! As long as these two conditions are met, the son-in-law will lead the troops to fight immediately!"

When Ruan Dacheng heard Ma Cheng say this, he furiously said: "Ma Cheng, you are a little too much! Can you, a general, raise these conditions?"

In the late Ming Dynasty, because the domestic peasant rebellion was large in scale and it often moved across provinces. In order to effectively combat these bandits, the court added another level of official position to the governor. The full name was military affairs of the General Manager, such as the General Manager, and was referred to as the Supervisor.

This kind of official position has great power and can control the governor and governor in the local area. Therefore, he has always been given the title of Minister of War, and in the later period, he was also appointed as a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. The emperor also gave the supervisor great power, and often gave the right to make decisions on the spot. Officials under a few ranks can deal with it themselves without asking the emperor.

However, although the emperor gave this power, all the previous supervisors used this privilege very carefully. After all, everyone was a colleague, and they looked down and saw him. As long as they did not know that they would not be cut off their heads directly. However, there were also two supervisors, such as Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong governor during the Tianqi period, offended all his colleagues in order to attack the Later Jin Dynasty. In the end, no one pleaded for him when he committed the crime, so he had to be cut off and passed on his head to the nine sides.

The position of the Supervisor is very powerful, but those who hold such important positions are scholars, with a complete moral and worldview, so the emperor is more at ease to give them power. But those generals are different. Those generals do not study and have not been brainwashed by Confucianism. It is better to expect them to be patriotic and loyal to the emperor than to expect a pig to come. Therefore, until Chongzhen hangs him, no general has ever served as the Supervisor.

In addition to Ma Cheng's second requirement, it is not realistic. China has been a unified country since the Qin Dynasty. Officials at all levels must be recognized by the court before they can be responsible for managing the local area. The court has a complete appointment system for officials at all levels. It is not something you can hold any official position if you have a backstage. Although the backstage is essential, the superficial tradition still needs to be maintained.

Now Ma Cheng has proposed to appoint civil servants under the fifth rank, which is already challenging the authority of civil servants' politics. Not to mention that Ruan Dacheng cannot agree to him, even Ma Cheng's son Ma Shiying will never agree to him.

"No. The court you mentioned would never agree to you! Now I can agree to you and hand over the military power of several provinces in Jiangnan to you. You can also be appointed by the second-rank general below, but the appointment power of civil servants is absolutely impossible to hand over to you!"
