Wu Zheng's eyes looked a little cold.

"Everyone out." Wu Zheng waved casually, "I want to be quiet!"

Ma Shiying stood up, bowed slightly, but did not leave.

Song An stood up and reported: "Donald Xingguo sent someone to send 400,000 taels of silver. The young master...will not collect it?"

Wu Zheng was slightly stunned, "Come on!"

Song An said angrily: "Duke Xingguo bought a heart-rest with 400,000 taels?"

Wu Zheng smiled, "This is not a safe money, he is paying off his debts."

Song An was stunned and asked in confusion: "Young Master has borrowed the money from Duke Xingguo?"

"Thirty-eight thousand taels." Wu Zheng said happily, "It is the preparation cost of the second battalion of the new Navy. He is going to make a clear relationship with me... Haha, the interest rate of 20,000 taels is included. Duke Xingguo is indeed affectionate and righteous, with a beginning and an end."

"Young Master is saying that Duke Xingguo wants to part ways with the young master...?"

"Human nature seeks profit, we cannot say that he is wrong." Wu Zheng sighed slightly, "The word "Crown Prince" is invincible, and it is impossible to defeat everything. Even I... feel anxious. You can't blame anyone... Go. Wait five days later, leave Beijing and return to Hangzhou."

"Here." Song An wanted to speak but stopped. He was really unwilling to give up, but he also knew that the young master was afraid he had no choice.

When Song An retreated, Wu Zhenggu Zi sat down after the table.

Ma Shiying couldn't help it after all, and smiled and stepped forward, "Ma was not good at doing things..."

"You deserve to die!" Wu Zheng said hatefully, "You can't win the trust from Hong Chengchou outside, and you can't stop this incident inside. What's the use for you?"

Ma Shiying urgently defended: "Lord, before Ma was loyal to his lord, he had a word first. Ma just wanted to win the reputation behind him for the rest of his life. It was not difficult to win Hong Chengchou, but this step would lead to Ma's future reversal. Even if the lord can explain for Ma in the future, the world's long mouth... is nothing more than wanting to be promoted."

"As for stopping this incident, Ma is indeed not capable of helping him. The lord should know that although Ma is a minister of the court, it is just a tablet that is just a mere scattered. If he has power or not, and if he has no one, how can he stop it?"

Wu Zheng's anger did not decline at all, "A quibbling word! Do you have power or not? In addition to the cabinet minister, you also have the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. No one is needed? In Yingtian Mansion, what do you say about the tens of thousands of people who followed me in front of Hongwu Gate today? In the capital, no one knows that you are the Duke of Zhenguo... Why don't you ask for help from them?"

Ma Shiying smiled bitterly and said, "They are willing to follow the lord, not Ma. How can they win the trust of Ma in such a matter of life? Besides, before this incident, the prince and Chen Zilong had already sent an imperial guard to surround our mansion. Ma's every move was in their eyes. How can they connect? It hurts themselves if they are not secretly planning. Lord, Ma is suffering."

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

Wu Zheng suddenly stood up, helped Ma Shiying sit down on the stool next to him, and sighed, "I am just angry with myself. It's like a mud pit. I could obviously avoid it, but I fell into it. In fact, I understand in my heart that the mistake is not on you, nor on Xiao Anzi, nor on anyone... it all depends on me."

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

"What kind of exchange did the lord reach with the prince in Chunhe Palace?" Ma Shiying asked carefully.

Wu Zheng had no hidden secrets and said the general situation, "I can't imagine that if I really led my troops into the capital, how many of the tens of thousands of people who followed me today would leave me. I can't imagine what kind of tragedy it would be against Mr. Zhang, Brother Qian Xiang, Brother Xuan, etc."

After considering it, Ma Shiying said: "This is the best way, at least the Qingtai Dynasty still exists... The lord does not need to doubt the friendliness of Zhang, Zhang Xuanzhu and others to the lord, and there is no need to doubt the loyalty of the lords and soldiers today. It's just... they, like the lord, need time to change their ideas."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, "You mean, they were not blocking me because they were loyal to the prince?"

"The authorities are confused. The lord only saw their obstruction, but did not see them fighting for the lord, nor did he see what tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital doing when the lord had not yet entered the capital. Ma really did not do anything for the lord this time, because many things no longer need Ma to take the initiative to do. Instead, he added to his feet."

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

Wu Zheng is indeed a fan of the authorities.

From the time he entered Beijing, his eyes were either black or white, and he could not tolerate a trace of sand. In his opinion, all different Taoists were... hostile!

But he seemed to have forgotten that even himself did not have the courage to shout at the world, "Who else can you reach the great treasure, who else can do the best?"

Before Wu Zheng appeared, they were all loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Three years were too short, and Wu Zheng was not a god after all, and he was born to be worshipped by people.

Everything takes time to change and prove!

Ma Shiying is right. If it weren't for the friendliness, how could Zhang Guowei and Zhang Huangyan risk the charge of a great rebellion and repel the imperial guards 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 be measured by what people want, it can only be understood but cannot be conveyed in words!

The depression in Wu Zheng's heart gradually became refreshed as he was breathing out with a breath of qigong, and his mind gradually returned to awakening and became calm.

"If I said that I had actually entered Beijing from Zhenjiang Prefecture, I had never thought of replacing it, would 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 prevent the prince from ascending the throne." Wu Zheng explained, "The princess has always done a good job in supervising the country. I just want to maintain the original state. Why don't the people in the world believe it?"

"The prince is here, why is the princess's ruler?" Ma Shiying retorted sharply, "Besides, the prince is a princess' brother and sister. The lord has forced the princess to rule the country. Where can the princess be placed? If the lord really gets his wish, everyone will think that the lord is abolishing the lord, just like Sima Zhao's heart... it's better... to replace it."

Wu Zheng was stunned. He finally figured out how stupid his behavior was this time!

I insisted on doing such an obvious thing.

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

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

Wu Zheng had no confidence. Once he planned to usurp the throne, would his army be mutiny and scattered?
