Just as these officials in Nanjing were preparing to welcome King Fu, King Fu and his party had already gone from Huai'an to Fengyang.

The main purpose of Zhu Yousong to Fengyang was to worship the Emperor's ancestral tomb. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not buried here, Zhu Yuanzhang's parents were buried here, so the political purpose of worshiping the ancestral tomb was very important.

The Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum is seven miles outside Fengyang City. The original imperial ancestral tomb and Nanjing Xiaoling Mausoleum have three walls. The innermost part is the imperial city. It also has facilities such as shrines, imperial bridges, imperial halls, etc. There are two rows of stone statues on both sides of the shrine, imperial tomb stele and stele without words, the east wing and the west wing, the east and the east and the west wings, the east and the west wings, and the east and the west wings.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became very concerned about his ancestral tombs. From the 26th year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty to the 12th year of Hongwu, it took twenty-two years to complete. Later, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty also repaired it many times, and the entire imperial tomb became an extremely large building complex during the Chongzhen period.

But in the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other bandits occupied Fengyang. These mud legs did not care whether your ancestral tomb or ancestral tombs, and burned all the ground buildings. After Emperor Chongzhen found out, he immediately killed the governor Fengyang and the eunuchs in charge, and issued a self-criticism.

So what was placed in front of Zhu Yousong was a ruined wall. When Zhu Yousong saw that his ancestor's grave had become like this, he felt very sad and knelt in front of the broken sacrifice hall and cried bitterly.

Ma Cheng has been very popular with Zhu Yousong these days. Zhu Yousong is also very nice to Ma Cheng, so he will chat with this young man when he has time.

Through chatting, Ma Cheng found that Zhu Yousong was completely different from the toad emperor described by later generations. Although Zhu Yousong was not smart, he was not stupid at all. Although he had never read any books, he did not understand the current situation at all. Ma Cheng really didn't understand how such an extremely ordinary person was so ugly by later generations. He probably offended the stinky ninth group of Donglin Party.

When Ma Cheng saw Zhu Yousong kneeling on the ground and crying, Ma Cheng's heart moved. When will he show his loyalty if he doesn't show his loyalty at this time?

Ma Cheng took advantage of the inattention of the ministers kneeling beside him and pinched his thighs with his hands. The heart-wrenching feeling immediately made tears flow. Ma Cheng used this force to cry loudly: "Emperor! I hate that I was born too late! If I had been twenty years earlier, I would definitely lead millions of elite soldiers to wipe out those damn bandits. Where can I make Zhang and Li crazy? I hate! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

After Ma Cheng shouted, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly. His crying sound was louder than that of Zhu Yousong, which scared all the ministers around him. When the ministers reacted, they all cast contempt eyes and quietly stayed away from the Ma family's father and son to avoid being unlucky with the slanderous ministers.

Ma Shiying couldn't come down when she heard Ma Cheng crying. Originally, worshiping the Emperor's ancestral tomb today was a ritual process to prove the legitimacy of Zhu Yousong's ascension to the throne. But then, knowing that his son is so embarrassing, why are you crying so hard for your ancestral tomb?

But in front of Zhu Yousong, Ma Shiying had no choice but to think that she would be able to teach this kid when she returned home and had a good birth, and she said she hoped to be born twenty years earlier? If I hadn't shot you on the wall back then, you wouldn't know where to be reincarnated now!

Ma Cheng's fuss made Zhu Yousong cry any more. Although Zhu Yousong felt a little sad when he saw his ancestral grave like this, he was just crying. Unexpectedly, Ma Cheng cried even more sad than him.

Zhu Yousong was very moved to see Ma Cheng crying so hard, and stepped forward to help Ma Cheng up and said, "Zhonghe, get up quickly!"

The emperor usually calls his ministers by his name. If he is closer to the minister, he will add the word "Love" to the emperor, which is the emperor, and he is just called Mr. XX. Now Zhu Yousong calls Ma Cheng, which is already a friend of Ma Cheng.

If another slander may be used to take advantage of the emperor, it would be great that the emperor knew his loyalty, and there was no need to pretend to be. But Ma Cheng had to act in the whole set and swear to go further and further on the road of slander. Just when Zhu Yousong was supporting Ma Cheng, Ma Cheng suddenly trembled all over and foamed at his mouth and fainted. Even Ma Cheng could not bear to watch Ma Cheng doing this, and he could just pretend to cry. Then he knew that he would still cry. Why didn't you cry to death?

When Zhu Yousong saw his confidant crying, he quickly asked the eunuchs around him to come and beat Ma Cheng's back. It took him a long time before Ma Cheng woke up. When he saw Zhu Yousong's concerned eyes, Ma Cheng knew that he had not cried in vain today and had made a fortune.

When Zhu Yousong saw Ma Cheng wake up, he said in admiration: "Zhonghe is really a loyal minister of the royal family! The person who came here was awarded the position of commanding the General of the Jinyiwei, the General of the Beijing Camp, and the Shenji Camp!"

The commander of the Jinyiwei Tongzhi was a honorary title, equivalent to the inspector of a certain bureau in later generations. He had a level but was not responsible for specific affairs, but the general of the Beijing camp was different.

There was no Nine Gate Admiral of the Qing Dynasty. The main official responsible for managing the garrison troops in the capital was the Admiral of the Beijing Camp. This position was controlled by eunuchs since Zhu Di. However, the admiral had three generals under him, responsible for assisting the admiral in managing the three camps. This was the top priority, and only the emperor's absolute confidants could hold important official positions. As for the Shenji Camp, it was even more amazing. The Shenji Camp was founded in the Yongle period and was an elite unit of all firearms. It was Zhu Di's capital to traverse the north of the desert.

Today, Ma Cheng just fainted from crying and obtained such an important official position. The civil servants and generals around him were jealous. If his eyes could kill people, Ma Cheng had been cut into pieces.

When Ma Cheng heard that Zhu Yousong had granted him his official position, he quickly pretended to be weak and pushed the eunuch away, then knelt on the ground and said, "I thank you for your kindness!"

After Ma Cheng finished the fight, he would start the official memorial service. This time, Zhu Yousong came mainly for his own legitimacy, so he naturally had to add the importance of his own country to the memorial text. Zhu Yousong did not recognize the word, so Ma Shiying would do the reading of the memorial text.

Ma Cheng stood behind Zhu Yousong and listened to Ma Shiying's reading of the sacrificial text. The entire sacrificial text was written in classical Chinese. Ma Cheng, a semi-illiterate person, could understand it, so he felt drowsy.

Zhu Yousong couldn't understand either, but as the emperor, he dared to sleep, so he had to force himself to persevere. At this time, Zhu Yousong saw Ma Cheng beside him shaking with his eyes closed, and thought Ma Cheng was so weak that he had just cried, but he was still gritting his teeth and persevering for the sake of the country's health.

Seeing Ma Cheng's body so weak and still listening, Zhu Yousong was very moved. Of course, if Zhu Yousong knew that Ma Cheng was about to fall asleep, he would definitely pull this guy who deceived the emperor and beheaded.

The tribute was quickly finished. Until now, Zhu Yousong has officially become a governor in law. Of course, he has to go to Nanjing to worship Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum. After that step, he can finally become emperor.

Ma Cheng was so refreshed after a sleep. After the ceremony, he followed Zhu Yousong back to Fengyang's imperial city. Fengyang's imperial city had been burned up by bandits. In recent years, the country has not had money to repair it. Zhu Yousong had no choice but to set up a tent in the imperial city. Anyway, he only stayed for one night and would leave Fengyang to go to Nanjing tomorrow.

Ma Cheng became the general of Shenji Camp, and his subordinates naturally had to come up to congratulate him. Ma Cheng looked at the guys under his command and smiled: "I am the general now, and you will be promoted as well! Gu Changwei, you are a guerrilla now! Xu Dahu, you are also a guerrilla! Tian Boguang and Xu Dingguo, you two are promoted to thousands of households, and the rest are all a hundred households!"

The Twelve Kings under Ma Cheng were overjoyed when he heard Ma Cheng say this. Why did he join the army? Isn’t it just promotion to make money? Now it’s so easy to be promoted to the Second Young Master. In less than half a month, these people were promoted from a big-headed soldier to a hundred households and a thousand households, so the twelve people knelt on the ground and thanked the Second Young Master for the promotion.

Of course, the Shenji Camp has only 5,600 personnel. Ma Cheng has now been over-staffed with so many officers, but Ma Cheng has a rebellious backbone behind his head. Can a Shenji Camp satisfy his appetite? The entire Ming Dynasty is Ma Cheng’s dish!

These twelve guys had already boarded Ma Cheng's chariot to rebel. They all happily thanked each other and left, but Ma Cheng fell into deep thought.

Today, Ma Cheng was promoted too fast, from a thousand households to a general, which was like a battalion commander in later generations being mentioned as a commander. Some people were jealous of them. In addition, when Ma Cheng cried and fainted just now, some people around him had already started to be jealous of Ma Cheng. Although they dare not say anything now, it is difficult to guarantee that one day they will find an opportunity to wear small shoes for Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng became the general because of the trust of the governor Zhu Yousong, but he would not trust him in the future? You must know that the emperor was like a tiger. Who knew that the emperor was unhappy that day and wanted Ma Cheng's head. Thinking of this, Ma Cheng felt that it was not enough to rely solely on the emperor's trust, and he had to tie him to the emperor.

Ma Cheng has been following Zhu Yousong, the governor, and has a very good understanding of the emperor. Zhu Yousong fled from Henan to Huai'an, and no one followed him except a few eunuchs. Ma Cheng also asked You Er that many people who escaped with Zhu Yousong at that time include Zhu Yousong's legitimate mother Zou and his stepmother Huang, but these people ran away halfway and didn't know where they are now.

Ma Cheng thought about this and thought that there were no women beside Zhu Yousong except for a few maids. Isn’t this toad emperor the most fond of women? Even Shi Kefa’s “Seven Musts” mentioned it. It seems that finding a woman for Zhu Yousong is good. It’s okay to have his own eyeliner to follow Zhu Yousong, and you can convey some rumor to himself.

Thinking of Ma Cheng leaving the tent to find his new second brother You Er, the dead eunuch who has been with Zhu Yousong for a long time must have known Zhu Yousong's hobbies.

You Er has now become a eunuch in the state supervision, and his identity naturally rises. He lives in a separate tent. Ma Cheng came to the tent and asked, "Are you here in the second brother? My younger brother Ma Cheng is here!"

It’s not You Er on duty now. He happened to be in the tent. When he heard Ma Cheng coming, he hurried out to welcome him and said with a smile: “It turns out that the General is here. Congratulations to our family!”

When he heard You Er’s claim that he had changed, from a slave to our family, Ma Cheng cursed in his heart: Do you really treat yourself as a character?

Ma Cheng scolded this in his heart, but smiled and said, "Second brother, even if he was the governor of the Five Army, he is also his second brother. How dare he be the first to be arrogant in front of his second brother?"
