Chapter 186: Rewards

Hearing this, Ma Shiying couldn't help but feel shocked. He felt a chill on his back and his body was trembling. The Jinyiwei actually came to Nanjing? Could it be that His Majesty already knew what happened here? It shouldn't be. He and Liu Liangzuo would control the entire city of Nanjing.

It was sealed like a cage, how could it still be discovered?

"How do you know they are Jin Yiwei?"

Liu Liangzuo sneered, and with a crisp sound, he dropped the two tokens in his sleeves on the ground. The two tokens were still stained with blood, and they had obviously been glued on just now.

Ma Shiying picked up the two tokens, ignoring the blood stains on them, suppressing the tension and uneasiness in his heart, and stared at the tokens. Then he felt panicked in his heart, and the arrogance of the past disappeared at this moment. He immediately asked Liu Liangzuo:

"Where did you see them?"

Liu Liangzuo took a sip of tea first, and then said: "I caught these two Jinyi guards in my mansion tonight, pretending to be common people. But their eyes gave them away, and I guessed their identities in an instant.

.I immediately ordered people to arrest them, and it took a lot of effort."

Ma Shiying sat aside and asked anxiously: "Are these two people sure to be His Majesty's guards? In this case, our intention must have been discovered, and we must respond immediately!"

Seeing that Ma Shiying was so timid, Liu Liangzuo sneered and said with a little disdain: "If your Majesty knows our intentions, but does not directly announce our arrests and raid our homes, it means that your Majesty is still afraid of us at this time.

.Why are you afraid of us? Either you need us or you can't deal with us. Why are you panicking?"

Knowing that Liu Liangzuo was too bold, Ma Shiying could only shake his head helplessly.

"Then you are coming tonight?"

Seeing that Ma Shiying finally asked about the topic, Liu Liangzuo immediately said sternly: "I advise you, it's better to move faster. Your Majesty can't deal with us now, but it doesn't mean that you can't deal with us in the future. After all, your Majesty now has soldiers, and in

Yanzhou defeated an army of 100,000 thieves, and its future development cannot be underestimated."

"I know, I've been thinking about this too." Ma Shiying said slowly.

"In addition, remember to tell me anytime you find someone with ulterior motives. Such people must be eliminated immediately!" Then he left Ma Shiying's house.

Seeing Liu Liangzuo's leaving figure, Ma Shiying, who felt weak inside, also lay down on the chair and fell asleep.



"Does Your Majesty must reward Zuo Liangyu?"

In the main hall, several people were called here, including a minister of the Ministry of War, a governor and envoy, and a minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War. The two chief soldiers all gathered here. But what His Majesty said was nothing more than a trivial one.

Several people's expressions changed drastically at this time almost at the same time.

"Isn't it possible?"

"No!"

Wang Jiayan, Shi Kefa, Zhu Dadian, Gao Jie, Huang Degong and others almost blurted out the words in unison.

"Why?" Zhu Ling calmed down and frowned.

"Your Majesty, please don't forget what Zuo Liangyu did in the past month or two." As an official of the capital, Wang Jiayan did his duty and immediately faced him seriously: "Not to mention what Zuo Liangyu has in mind now, he was the one before.

What he did was enough to confiscate his family and exterminate his family. Such a crime was rewarded by His Majesty with just a congratulatory letter. Does that mean that what happened to Huang Degong and Gao Jie was wrong?"

Huang Degong and Gao Jie, who were standing behind him, heard the words and inevitably had a bit of admiration for Wang Jiayan. To think that no one dared to say that His Majesty was wrong. His words were so fierce. It was thanks to His Majesty that he was different, otherwise he would have been taken off the staff long ago.

Responsible.

"That's right!" Shi Kefa also said sternly: "Your Majesty, in the past Zuo Liangyu neither attacked Zhang Xianzhong nor went north to Qin Wang. Now in Wuchang, he is recruiting troops and expanding the army. It can be seen that even though he is now the Ning Nanbo, but

Its military establishment is only 30,000 people. Now that it has been expanded to hundreds of thousands, what is the intention? I think everyone present should know it well."

After saying that, Gao Jie slowly lowered his head. Suddenly he regretted his radicalness just now. Now it seems that these words have pierced his heart. On the other hand, Huang Degong was lucky that he was not as naughty as him before, so he felt regretful.

It's still passable.

Zhu Ling responded in silence... because he knew that what they said was right at the moment. Now Zuo Liangyu suddenly received a letter, and he didn't mention a word about the reason for his delay. But now if he wants to take action against him, it is necessary

Let him expand first, let him think that the court can't help him, and even want to rely on him.

But once a reward is given, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from others.

In this way, it really becomes a paradox.

"Does Your Majesty just want to make Zuo Liangyu expand?"

Zhu Dadian, who had been silent for a long time, but had the same opinion as Wang Jiayan and others, asked.

"Not only that, if we attack him in the future, I will also say that he forced the court to reward him. This made everyone in the Ming Dynasty think that he was ambitious and made it difficult for him to move forward on the land of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Ling looked outside the palace and sighed.

"I think it's not a bad idea to reward him. But there is a better way, and that is to reward him in full!" Zhu Dadian's words were like thunder that shocked everyone present, but he said calmly: "Also,

Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and Liu Liangzuo are all rewarded! Let these rebellious officials and traitors feel relieved, thinking that they are not capable of threatening them. It is also equivalent to naming them directly. These people are all rebellious officials and traitors!"

After listening to Zhu Dadian's words, everyone couldn't help but have some thoughts. But after thinking about it, they suddenly felt that what he said did make some sense. If you want it to perish, you must first expand it!

"Why should we ban them?"

Zhu Ling smiled and thought this idea was a good one.

"It's better to call them heroes who protect the country. Just say that this is a meritorious title. Anyone with this merit will get this reward. It's better to call them protector of the country. It's a kind of irony." Gao Jie, who was ashamed behind him, felt that he had to make a distinction.

He, Zuo Liangyu and others stepped forward to speak.

After hearing this, everyone present immediately burst into laughter. The irony in this was really strong. When they receive such a reward, they will probably think of what they have done and know what His Majesty means. I am afraid they will immediately feel that they have

My face felt hot, but there was nothing I could do.

In this way, wouldn't it be a slap in the face and a reward for them?

Zhu Ling couldn't help but laugh a few times. He felt that Gao Jie was also a talented person, and he thought of such a title. But then he said: "Ma Shiying and others can do it, but Zuo Liangyu can't. This man has hundreds of thousands of troops, and he can't do it."

Don't provoke him. Once he finds any reason to challenge you, it will be another disaster."

After hearing this, everyone felt that this was quite right and did not continue to say anything. At this point, the matter ended there.

Zuo Liangyu has reached a point where even the time traveler Zhu Ling is helpless, because he really has a large number of troops and is based in Wuchang. And the court there does not have any troops, let alone attack Zuo Liangyu. Now

On the surface, Zuo Liangyu was still loyal to the court, but in his heart, he had long been dissatisfied.

At present, the most important thing is to solve the rebellion in Nanjing in the rear, stabilize the rear, and then do other things, in order to achieve success.

But the Guan Ning army was controlled, and Nanjing had almost no power to resist. Although several surrounding provinces said they would fully assist the court in the crusade against Ma Shiying, it would be a good thing if they did not rebel at that time.

"Your Majesty!" After a pause and seeing no one speaking, Shi Kefa stepped forward and said: "According to the information obtained by our scouts after investigation, there is no news from the intruders, and it seems that there are no intruders in Jinan. We

Deeply confused."

Hearing this, Zhu Ling, Wang Jiayan and others also looked at Shi Kefa, and they couldn't help but be puzzled. There was no trace of the rebel army in Jinan? It shouldn't be. Since that time they defeated Gao Yigong's 100,000-strong army, but also

There was no pursuit. Under normal circumstances, they should have retreated to the Jinan area.

Although they had the intention of conquering the imperial court this time, they also intended to capture the entire Shandong Province, and there was no reason to abandon Jinan.

"Do they want to seduce us to take back Jinan? They are quietly ambushing us around, and once our army enters their siege, they will immediately catch us all. After all, I really can't figure out why Jinan doesn't have an army." Wang Jiayan thought hard, and his first thought was

I just felt that Chuang Jun was trying to lure the enemy, otherwise there would be no other explanation.

"You won't just give up on Shandong, right?" Huang Degong also found it a bit hard to believe that Chuang Jun's move was beyond everyone's expectation.

"probably not."

Zhu Dadian frowned and thought hard for a long time, but still thought it was impossible, and then said: "It's better to send people to have a look and expand the search scope. Whether they are catching turtles in the jar or escaping, we will know once we find out! If they really gave up Shandong

, this opportunity to regain Shandong should never be given up!"

"Indeed!" Zhu Ling, who had been silent for a long time, also said: "If they really withdrew, it is most likely that Jiannu still did not abandon the pass. In order to deal with Jiannu, Li Zicheng could only temporarily abandon Shandong and mobilize his troops. If so

It is also beneficial to us if Li Zicheng can defeat Jiannu."

"What about Nanjing?"

Shi Kefa returned to Ma Shiying's rebellion. Stabilizing the rear was the first thing to do at this time.

"Let me remind them first. It's up to them whether they should stop or continue their rebellion."
