Chapter 301: The Second Genesis of the Eunuch Party. After Zhao Jinshi left the city of Cining Palace, the gate of Zhengyang Gate was soon opened. Zhao Jinshi and several deputy generals and generals knelt at the door to welcome Ma Cheng into the city.

Ma Cheng rode to the city gate, dismounted and helped Zhao Jinshi up and said, "General Zhao can open the city gate according to the will of heaven today, so as to avoid the citizens of Nandu from being devastated. This is a great achievement!"

Although Zhao Jinshi is a sleek person, he is also a man who fought on the battlefield after all. After hearing Ma Cheng's words, he felt thrust in his heart. There are no houses in Zhengyang Gate, and even if they fight, there will be no loss. Jubao Gate is a commercial area, and after this time, I don't know how many people will die.

Ma Cheng said this not to be a hypocrite. This time he used the banner to support the lord and eliminate the treacherous party, so he must firmly stand on the moral commanding heights.

"General Zhao, this time you open the city gate and will be the first hero of Jingnan. When this governor rescues the emperor, he will definitely ask the emperor to reward you!"

Zhao Jinshi dared to take Ma Cheng's words, so he had to nod, saying that he would follow the Marquis of Zhenguo and carry out the just cause of Jingnan to the end.

Ma Cheng stepped forward and patted Zhao Jinshi on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "General Zhao, I will take people to save the emperor later. Thank you for your hard work here in Zhengyangmen!"

"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely guard Zhengyang Gate as solid as a god!"

Ma Cheng didn't care how ridiculous Zhao Jinshi's answer was. A general who had just lost the defense zone actually said that he could defend it as solid as a rock. However, Ma Cheng's attention is not in the inner city now, and his entire attention is on Zhu Lunkui in the palace.

Ma Cheng left Zhao Jinshi and took his nine thousand guards to the imperial city. Zhengyang Gate was only two miles away from Chengtian Gate, the city gate of the imperial city. Outside Chengtian Gate is Qianbulang, which is the central organ of the Ming Empire. Although it is Xiumu in the first month of the year, officials are left on duty in each yamen.

These officials on duty did not know the great changes in the senior management. When they saw Hou Ma Cheng of Zhenguo entering Qianbulang with a large number of troops, the bloody coup in Wuying Hall four years ago appeared in their minds. These low-level officials were afraid of affecting Chi Yu, so they went home to hide after Ma Cheng left.

Ma Cheng brought his army to Chengtian Gate. The palace gate was closed and the figures were shaking on the city wall. Ma Cheng did not reply to the Jinyiwei who was guarding the city and ordered the cannon to go directly. The thickness of Chengtian Gate was no less than that of Zhengyang Gate. It was quickly shattered under the attack of the cannon. The loss of Chengtian Gate also means the loss of the imperial city.

After entering Chengtian Gate, Ma Cheng saw more than a thousand Jinyiwei standing in front of Duanmen, holding an embroidered spring sword in his hand, looking like he was preparing to resist.

Ma Cheng came to these Jinyiwei and said, "Brothers, many of you are my comrades-in-arms. They were also fighting side by side with me at Jubaomen. Since this is the case, I will not hide it from you. Now that the emperor has bullied me, he has sent Lu Siye, a bastard, to kill me. Now I lead troops into the city to ask the emperor for an explanation. If you still think that I am a comrade, put down your sword and gun and stand aside. If you still have to resist to the end, don't blame me for not thinking of my comrades-in-arms!"

Most of these guards in the palace were Ma Cheng's comrades-in-arms back then. These people looked around and put down the embroidered spring swords in their hands, then walked aside to give up resistance.

But in addition to these people, there are some Jinyiwei who have nothing to do with Ma Cheng. They are basically descendants of the former nobles and have an unresolved hatred with Ma Cheng, so they naturally cannot surrender to Ma Cheng.

There were more than 200 people in total, and under the leadership of several middle and low-level officers, they were still blocking the door.

A Qianhu, an Jinyiwei, pointed at Ma Cheng and cursed: "Ma Cheng, you are a minister of the Ming Dynasty. What do you want to do when you bring people into the palace now? Do you want to rebel?"

Ma Cheng laughed and didn't answer, waved his hand, and the musketeers in the guards fired one after another, killing the more than 200 people in front of Duanmen.

After entering Duanmen, there is the Meridian Gate, and further inside is the Palace City. The Han generals guarding the Meridian Gate were the great Han generals. These guys did not have the fighting will of the guards in the palace. Seeing Ma Cheng coming to the Meridian Gate with thousands of troops like wolves and tigers, they put down their swords and guns in their hands and kneeled down to surrender.

Since these guys had surrendered, Ma Cheng no longer paid attention to them and walked through the Meridian Gate to enter the palace city. Now the palace is in chaos, and the eunuchs and palace maids are busy running away one by one. Ma Cheng doesn't care whether these guys are stealing the property from the palace. The most important thing is to catch Emperor Zhu Lunkui now.

Ma Cheng hurried to the Ganqing Palace. The house was gone, and the empty Ganqing Palace was empty. Ma Cheng saw that this was not good. If Zhu Lunkui escaped, he would be summoned to gather a group of local officials to do something to support the king. This would be a big deal.

Ma Cheng shouted in a panic: "Search for me! You must catch this foolish lord!"

Ma Cheng's order was passed on, and a group of guards began to search inside and outside the Ganqing Palace. To Ma Cheng's disappointment, Zhu Lunkui failed to catch it, but caught a small eunuch who was about to escape.

The guards brought the little eunuch to Ma Cheng. Ma Cheng sat on Zhu Lunkui's dragon throne, stared at the little eunuch kneeling in front of him and asked, "Say, where has Zhu Lunkui been?"

The little eunuch was already scared to death, and there was a strange smell in the Ganqing Palace hall.

"If you go back to Zhenguo Marquis, I don't know where the emperor is going!"

"Okay, you don't know, right? Come on, I'll take this guy off!"

After Ma Cheng said that, a few soldiers came up and prepared to drag the unlucky little eunuch out to peel it off. This scared the little eunuch and quickly howled, "Grandpa Zhenguo Marquis, I heard that the emperor might have gone to the Empress Dowager!"

When Ma Cheng heard this, he felt that things were not good. The Empress Dowager was her own sister. It would be really hard to deal with if Zhu Lunkui escaped there.

However, with Zhu Lunkui's whereabouts, Ma Cheng immediately took a group of guards to leave the Ganqing Palace and entered the harem through the Longzong Sect.

The news Ma Cheng received was very accurate. Zhu Lunkui is now hiding in the Cining Palace of Empress Dowager Ma Hongning.

After Zhu Lunkui drank too much last night, he went back to the harem to sleep. He woke up the next morning and found out what happened last night.

After hearing that Ma Shiying and his son were missing, Zhu Lunkui's first thing was to order Mei Chun to mobilize all the guards in the palace and the Han generals to start searching. Whether it is dead or alive, he must find the father and son. But what disappointed Zhu Lunkui was that Ma Shiying and the four men were like steaming, and they didn't even have a single hair.

At this time, Zhu Lunkui was really scared. Whether it was death or alive, it would be fine if there was news about Ma Shiying and his son, but there was no news now. Does that mean that Ma Shiying and his son have escaped from the palace?

If Ma Shiying ran out, it would be fine. After all, Ma Shiying is a civil servant. If the matter is broken, Zhu Lunkui will just lose some things.

It’s hard to deal with Ma Cheng and Ma Xi running away.

Zhu Lunkui remembered the scene in Wuying Palace back then. The fake prince Wang Zhiming was cut off by Ma Cheng's head. Thinking of this, Zhu Lunkui was sweating all over, he cursed: "Lu Jiude, you trash, didn't you say that you were foolproof? Why is this happening now? What do you think should you do?"

Lu Jiude knelt in front of Zhu Lunkui with a frown. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. According to his arrangement, his nephew Lu Siye, with a hundred elite troops, took the Xi'an goalkeeper Ma Cheng and his son to rectify the law on the spot, and then just put a charge of rebellion. But who would have thought that Ma Cheng was very cunning and was so wrong that he could escape to the ruins of the inner warehouse.

"Emperor, I didn't expect that things would be like this! Now that there is no news about these four people in the palace, I must have escaped. I thought the inner city gate should be closed and Lu Siye should take the military and Ma Si to search the city. I believe that Ma Shiying and his son must be hiding somewhere in the city!"

What else can I do if the situation has already reached this point? Zhu Lunkui closed his eyes in pain and said after a while: "Okay, let Lu Siye close the city gate and then search for Ma Shiying and his son!"

Lu Jiude was about to get up and go out to pass the imperial edict, but when he knew that Zhu Lunkui continued, "Also, arrest the families of the Ma family and son, and they will live!" Zhu Lunkui was thinking of using Ma Cheng's family as a shield if he couldn't do it. After hearing this, Lu Jiude bowed and retreated.

Zhu Lunkui thought very well, but the situation had already been out of his control. Shortly after the order to close the city gate was out, news came that all the new troops in the military camp outside the city were preparing to leave the military camp. This news scared Zhu Lunkui, but before Zhu Lunkui's imperial edict ordered the defenders to defend, a loud noise came from the south city, and Jubao Gate was captured.

When Zhu Lunkui learned that the Jubao Gate was lost, he knew that the situation was hopeless and it was too late to say anything. Thinking of this, Zhu Lunkui regretted listening to Qian Qianyi and Lu Jiude's words, why did he insist on dealing with Ma Cheng?

At this time, Lu Jiude stumbled and ran in, shouting while running: "Emperor, Ma Cheng has entered Zhengyang Gate with his army, and is about to reach Chengtian Gate!"

When Zhu Lunkui heard this news, he no longer had the mood to scold Lu Jiude. Saving his life is the key point. Thinking that he was about to become the second Wang Zhiming, Zhu Lunkui cried: "What should I do? What should I do about the foundation of my ancestors? How can I meet Emperor Taizu in the underworld!"

When Lu Jiude saw Zhu Lunkui crying here, he quickly said, "Emperor, there are chaos outside the imperial city. For the sake of the present plan, it is better to go to Cining Palace to hide!"

Go to the Queen Mother's place? Zhu Lunkui asked, "The Queen Mother is Ma Cheng's sister. Can she help me?"

"The Emperor, although the Empress Dowager is the daughter of the Ma family, he is still the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. The Emperor thinks about Emperor Xian of Han, Cao Jie, the Empress Dowager Cao Jie when Cao Pi usurped the throne. Only then could Emperor Xian of Han end up well. I believe that the Empress Dowager will definitely protect the Emperor's safety!"

Cao Jie was Cao Pi's own sister. When Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, it was Cao Jie who protected the safety of her husband Emperor Xian of Han. In the end, Emperor Xian of Han actually lived longer than Cao Pi and Cao Rui. This was Cao Jie's protection.
