Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan fell into Wei Zhongxian's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and Zhu Youxiao was taken to the Qianqing Palace by Wei Zhongxian...
After taking care of Wang Tiqian, Ma Xiaoquan immediately set off for Qianqing Palace.
Now Ma Xiaoquan had two choices before him. One was to rush in and kidnap Zhu Youxiao by force, but the consequences were unimaginable; the other was to discuss it with a determined minister.
While hesitating, Ma Xiaoquan had already walked to the gate of Qianqing Palace, and happened to meet Wang An, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony.
Wang An had also met Ma Xiaoquan, and the emperor often kept Ma Xiaoquan's name on his lips these days, so Wang An paid more attention to it.
As soon as they met, Wang An grabbed Ma Xiaoquan.
"Eunuch Wang, is there something wrong?"
Wang An hummed softly and said, "Guard Ma, are you here to see the emperor?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
Wang Andao: "I don't think so about this matter. Although the horse guard is a royal guard, the emperor is currently with Li Xuanshi. If the horse guard rushes in, I'm afraid he won't be able to solve the problem..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, feeling that what Wang An said was very reasonable, so he asked, "What do you think, Eunuch Wang?"
Wang An thought for a moment and said: "Let's do this. I will bluff and threaten to arrest Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. At this moment, Ma Wei will quickly find Mr. Yang or Mr. Zuo and tell him my idea. them......"
"Then what?" Ma Xiaoquan asked again.
Wang An smiled slightly: "With Master Yang and Master Zuo's thoughts, they should understand what I mean."
Ma Xiaoquan reacted and said with a smile: "Eunuch Wang is really thoughtful, okay, then I'll go right away."
Wang An nodded and watched Ma Xiaoquan leave.
...
Sure enough, not long after Ma Xiaoquan left, news spread throughout the Qianqing Palace that Wang An wanted to arrest Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. Ma Xiaoquan secretly felt convinced that Wang An was true to his word. At the same time, Ma Xiaoquan met again. Yang Lian.
Yang Lian saw Ma Xiaoquan walking in a hurry and knew something must be going on, so he asked Ma Xiaoquan about the situation.
Knowing that Wang An wanted to "catch" her, Yang Lian laughed and said: "This is just a noisy plan by the prince, don't worry."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and asked Yang Lian: "Mr. Yang, what do you think of this matter?"
Yang Lian said without thinking: "The day when the Emperor ascends the throne must not be changed."
"Okay!" Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands, "Then what do you need from me, Ma Xiaoquan? Just say it, Mr. Yang."
Yang Lian thought for a moment, then said with a serious face: "I really have something to ask Brother Ma, well, it's like this..."
Yang Lian whispered his hidden worries to Ma Xiaoquan's ear. After listening, Ma Xiaoquan asked Yang Lian in surprise: "Mr. Yang, since you have thought of this matter, how can I listen to you and still ask? ?”
Yang Lian Dayi Lingran said: "In our Ming Dynasty, someone must be the first to take the lead. If there is no one else, I, Yang Lian, am willing to take up this responsibility!"
Ma Xiaoquan was infected by Yang Lian's righteousness and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then... let me go and give Mr. Yang a head start..."
Looking at Ma Xiaoquan's retreating figure, Yang Lian nodded approvingly and said: "The fourth son of the Ma family is also a man of righteousness. There are rumors that he is a playboy. Hum... I'm afraid they all got it wrong. Already..."
...
After bidding farewell to Yang Lian, Ma Xiaoquan jogged all the way to the cabinet office.
The first assistant, Fang Congzhe, happened to be there. Seeing Ma Xiaoquan coming in a hurry, Fang Congzhe's heart moved and he guessed something.
Ma Xiaoquan conveyed Yang Lian's thoughts to Fang Congzhe in his own words, hoping that he would give a conclusion. Unexpectedly, Fang Congzhe, an old fox, started doing Tai Chi, going around in circles left and right, but refused to give a positive answer.
Ma Xiaoquan was anxious. He stepped forward and grabbed Fang Congzhe's collar, threatening: "Old man, if you don't give me an explanation today, you girl will never even think about walking out of here standing upright."
At this time, there were only two people in the cabinet office, Fang Congzhe and Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan was so threatening, and Fang Congzhe was really a little scared.
Fang Congzhe knew that the four sons of the Ma family were playboys, and they had some good luck and became the royal guards. Although he was the chief minister of the cabinet, but... Fang Congzhe still understood the principle of a scholar meeting a soldier.
.
Fang Conzhe screamed twice and said: "Four sons of the Ma family, don't do anything, don't do anything, everything is easy to discuss, everything is easy to discuss..."
Ma Xiaoquan said unhappily: "If we still discuss it, just tell us whether you agree or not?"
Fang Congzhe said: "What you just said was what the military department meant for Yang Lian in the matter?"
Ma Xiaoquan did not deny: "Yes! What? Because Yang Lian is from Donglin, you, the Zhejiang Party, don't want to agree?"
Ma Xiaoquan's words were completely unintentional, but Fang Congzhe did have the same meaning in his heart.
Since the Zhejiang Party was completely opposed to the Donglin Party, people on both sides have often looked down on the other. Although Fang Congzhe admired Yang Lian, he admired him more than he admired, and the party members belonged to the party members.
"This... this can't happen..." Fang Congzhe lied, "How could I do this... For the sake of my Ming Dynasty, I won't do this, so don't worry
Bar......"
Ma Xiaoquan let go of Fang Congzhe's collar: "I believe you for now, but remember, don't play tricks."
Just as Fang Congzhe was about to speak, Lu Zhan came in.
As soon as he saw someone, Fang Congzhe immediately changed his words and said: "How outrageous, I am the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and you, a little Jin Yiwei who has not yet been officially admitted, dare to threaten me... Mr. Lu, according to my
According to Ming law, what punishment should be imposed?"
Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment, looked at Fang Congzhe blinking at him, and immediately understood.
"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you should be sent to prison and severely punished!"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned, and hatred spread in his heart, Fang Congzhe, Fang Congzhe, you old fox is really a thief, okay, you have a high official position, we heroes will not suffer the consequences in front of us.
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly and said: "Since Mr. Chief Assistant doesn't mean that, I won't say anything anymore. Mr. Chief Assistant, I have something to remind you...last time, Old Man Tolu
I hope you will think carefully about what I am telling you, because in the near future, you will end up like that... Hey, farewell!"
Fang Congzhe was stunned for a moment, looked at Ma Xiaoquan who had turned away, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
