Wu Zheng's gaze was a little cold.

"Let's all get out." Wu Zheng waved his hand casually, "I want to be quiet!" ”

Ma Shiying got up, bowed slightly, and did not leave.

Song An got up and reported: "Xingguo Gong sent someone to send 400,000 taels of silver, young master...... To collect or not to collect? ”

Wu Zheng was slightly stunned, "Accept!" ”

Song An said angrily: "Xingguo Gong bought a peace of mind with 400,000 taels? ”

Wu Zheng snorted, "This is the silver to buy peace of mind, he is paying off his debts." ”

Song An was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "The young master borrowed the silver of Xingguo Gong?" ”

"Three hundred and eighty thousand taels." Wu Zheng said leisurely, "It's the preparation cost of the second battalion of the new water division, and he wants to make a clear relationship with me...... Hehe, counting the interest of 20,000 taels, Xingguo Gong is really affectionate and righteous, with a beginning and an end. ”

"The young master is saying that the Duke of Xingguo is going to be with the young master...... Part company with? ”

"Human nature is profit-oriented, and it can't be said that he is wrong." Wu Zheng sighed slightly, "The word prince is invincible and invincible, even me...... I am also worried in my heart, and I can't blame anyone...... Go ahead. After waiting for five days, I left Beijing and returned to Hangzhou. ”

"Whoa." Song An wanted to speak and stopped, he was really unwilling, but he also knew, young master, I was afraid that it was really out of line.

Waiting for Song An to retreat, Wu Zhenggu sat down behind the table.

Ma Shiying couldn't help it after all, and stepped forward with a smile: "Ma is not doing things well...... ”

"You're damned!" Wu Zheng hated and said, "You can't win Hong Chengchou's trust on the outside, and you can't stop this change on the inside, what's the use of you?" ”

Ma Shiying hurriedly argued: "Lord, before Ma was loyal to the lord, he had a word first, Ma just wanted to win the name for himself for the rest of his life, and it was not difficult to win the trust of Hong Chengchou, but this step was taken, and Ma would not be able to turn over." Even if the lord can explain for Ma in the future, the world will be leisurely...... It's nothing more than wanting to be a good man. ”

"As for stopping this change, Ma is really powerless, the lord should know that although Ma is a cabinet minister, it is just a tablet that is indiscriminately filled, with no power and no power, no one wants people, how to stop it?"

Wu Zheng's anger did not diminish in the slightest, "Sophistry! Have you the right or not? In addition to the minister, you also have the position of the secretary of the household department. Someone who wants to have no one? Ying Tianfuzhong, what do the tens of thousands of people who follow me in front of Hongwu Gate say today? In the capital, no one knows that you are a person from the Duke of Zhenguo...... Why not turn to them? ”

Ma Shiying smiled bitterly: "They are willing to follow the lord, not Ma, how can they trust Ma in this kind of life-critical matter?" Besides, before this happened, the prince and Chen Zilong had already sent a forbidden army to surround our mansion, and Ma's every move was in their eyes, how could they be connected? If you don't keep things secret, you will hurt yourself, my lord, Ma has a hard time. ”

Wu Zheng stared at Ma Shiying for a long time, and Ma Shiying was feeling cold sweat oozing out all over his body.

Wu Zheng got up suddenly, stepped forward to help Ma Shiying sit down on the stool on the side, and sighed: "I'm just angry with myself, this is like a mud pit, I can avoid it, but I fell into it." In fact, I know in my heart that the fault is not you, nor Xiao Anzi, nor anyone...... It's all up to me. ”

Ma Shiying looked at Wu Zheng in a daze, and he found that in fact, the young man in front of him who was about to reach the crown had a keen and tenacious heart.

"What kind of exchange did the lord reach with the crown prince in the Spring and Harmony Palace?" Ma Shiying asked cautiously.

Wu Zheng didn't hide anything, and said the general situation, "I can't imagine that if I really lead troops into Beijing, how many of the tens of thousands of people who follow me today will leave me." I can't imagine what kind of tragedy it will be to oppose Zhang Gong, Qian Xiang, Brother Xuan and others? ”

Ma Shiying pondered and said, "This is already the best way, at least the Qingtai Dynasty still exists...... The lord does not need to doubt the friendliness of Zhang Gong, Zhang Xuanzhu and others to the lord, and there is no need to doubt the loyalty of the soldiers who follow the lord today, but ...... They, like the lords, need time to change their mindsets. ”

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, "You mean, they didn't stop me because they were loyal to the crown prince?" ”

"The authorities are confused, the lord only saw their obstruction, but he didn't see them fighting for the lord's case, nor did he see what the tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital did when the lord had not yet entered Beijing. Ma really didn't do anything for the lord this time, this is because many things don't need Ma to take the initiative to do, and if he does, he will add to it. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying suddenly knelt down and said: "Congratulations to the lord, in time, the lord will definitely be what the people want!" ”

Wu Zheng is indeed a fan of the authorities.

From the beginning of his entry into Beijing, his eyes were black and white, and there was no room for a trace of sand...... Hostile!

But he seems to have forgotten that even he himself doesn't have the courage to shout at the world, "Who else is the one who ascends the great treasure?"

Including Zhang Guowei and Zhang Huangyan, before Wu Zheng appeared, they were all loyal to the Ming Dynasty, three years is too short, and Wu Zheng is not a god after all, and he can be worshiped by nature.

Everything needs time to change and prove!

Ma Shiying was right, if it weren't for friendliness, how could Zhang Guowei and Zhang Huangyan risk the crime of rebellion and repel the forbidden army to accompany Wu Zheng into the palace?

If it weren't for loyalty, how could tens of thousands of soldiers gather in front of Hongwu Gate regardless of their lives?

There is no standard that can measure how much people want, they can only be understood, not spoken!

The depression in Wu Zheng's heart gradually became cheerful as he spit out a mouthful of sullen qigong, and his consciousness gradually returned to sobriety and became calm.

"If I say that in fact, I entered Beijing from Zhenjiang Mansion, and I didn't think about replacing it, do you believe it?"

Ma Shiying was obviously stunned, and then said, "I believe it." But people in the world may not believe it. ”

"I just want to thwart the crown prince's accession to the throne." Wu Zheng explained, "The princess has been doing a good job in supervising the country, I just want to maintain the status quo." Why don't the people of the world believe? ”

"The prince is here, why is the princess in charge of the country?" Ma Shiying retorted sharply, "Besides, the prince is the princess's brother and sister, and the lord has forcibly established the princess to supervise the country, where is the princess placed?" If the lord really gets his wish, the world will think that the lord will wantonly abolish the establishment, such as Sima Zhao's heart...... That's not as good as ...... Fill somebody's shoes. ”

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded, he finally figured out how stupid his behavior was this time!

Such an obvious thing, but he insisted on doing the opposite.

Ma Shiying is right, instead of secretly plotting to usurp the throne, it is better to replace him with dignity and be a real villain.

Fortunately, this is just thinking about it in my heart.

Wu Zheng is not confident, once he plots to usurp the throne, will the army under his command mutiny and disperse in a hurry.
