As soon as Ma Mingfeng finished speaking, both Xu Liangxian and Yu Zhenghu were stunned. I have to say that Ma Mingfeng’s idea was simply incredible. This trick was too bold to hide the truth. If you accidentally cause a disaster, you will cause death. After all, deceiving the emperor is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"But in this way, we cannot be loyal to the emperor and violate the duty of being a minister, which is really contrary to the lessons of the saints. After a thousand years, I don't know how the historian should record it..." Xu Liangxian was still hesitant and said with a bitter face.

But Ma Mingfeng said, "General Xu, it's not a boy who dares to say that what we are doing now is to preserve the country and the country of Ming Dynasty, and for the whole world. It is very likely that we have not been loyal to the present because of concealing the truth, but we are loyal to the country and the country of Ming Dynasty. As long as Anqing is here, Nanjing will not be in danger. Once the country has something to do, Nanjing will be our strong position. If Nanjing also has something to do, it will definitely be that the hearts of people will be lost and morale will be dissipated. My Ming Dynasty is really over."

"Is it that dangerous? The country has an emperor personally guarding the enemy. As for the bandits, Li Zicheng's army has now been intercepted by Yang Ge's troops. The plan of "four fronts and six corners, ten sides of the net" is about to be realized. Although there are still some bandits who resist stubbornly, the overall situation has been decided. I think nothing will happen, right?" Xu Liangxian was still hesitant and said softly.

However, Ma Mingfeng said firmly: "It is definitely so dangerous. I once said that Zhang Xianzhong has sharpened his minions and will rebel again within two months. Li Zicheng is not the one who surrenders easily. The war will soon reignite in the heart of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty. As for Yang Sichang, this person is stubborn and narrow-minded. He is fashionable and able to support him. Once he falls into adversity, he will definitely collapse like an avalanche."

Yu Zhenghu, who was standing aside, was shocked when he heard Ma Mingfeng mention the three words Yang Sichang, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, and neither Ma Mingfeng nor Xu Liangxian noticed this.

"So, according to my brother, Yang Ge's troops will soon be defeated? I wonder how long he can last?" Xu Liangxian asked softly with disbelief.

Mingfeng stretched out three fingers and said lightly: "At most, three years, or even three years." But Xu Liangxian sighed: "Actually, Yangge tribe is not as unbearable as my brother said? It's a pity that Yangge tribe's plan to revive foreign countries was destroyed by Huang Daozhou and others. Otherwise, once the peace talks with the Qing people were successful, how could the bandits have a chance to rekindle?"

Ma Mingfeng sneered and said, "Ask to the Qing people? This is tantamount to making a fuss with the tiger. Huang Taiji is ambitious and Dorgon is in full swing. At most, he will only rest for half a month and ten days. When they breathe, they will immediately attack my daming. The so-called "sustaining the internal affairs before fighting foreign countries is a bad strategy. What's the pity? In my opinion, it is also fortunate that Mr. Shizhai was able to speak up for justice, which forced the emperor to give up this idea. Otherwise, our disaster would be even worse."

"Why is my opinion always so unexpected? But my judgment is so firm. I really don't know whether I should believe it. But I have already died once, so what's wrong with listening to the first time I'm going to do it? But how should I deal with the matter of Magistrate Ma? I can't arrest or kill all those people around the yamen, right?"

"That's right." Ma Mingfeng thought for a while, but couldn't think of any solution. He saw Li Dabiao on the side suddenly saying, "I have an idea, I don't know if I should say it?"

When Xu Liangxian heard this, he immediately cursed: "Damn it, when is it now? What else should I say or not?"

Ma Mingfeng also hurriedly said, "What are the opinions of Brother Li? Please tell me quickly."

Li Dabiao smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not say that it is a noble idea. I can only say it is a bad idea. It's like this. Master Ma, Mr. Yu Zhuangshi, although Ma Wenlong is dead now, no one except those in the hall just now knows the news. Even those in the hall cannot be sure that Ma Wenlong must be dead. So we can find a surrendered general who was close to Ma Wenlong and ask him to inform Ma Wenlong's master Chen Ziliang. This person is said to be the son of Wang Gen, the founder of Taizhou School.

Although Wang Ji's disciple was treacherous, he was also very capable. When Chen Ziliang arrived, we used coercion and inducement to make him announce that Ma Wenlong was seriously ill and handed over the affairs of Anqing Mansion to him. Chen Ziliang was originally Ma Wenlong's confidant and had the ability. It was the most appropriate to let him act on Anqing Mansion. Anyway, according to Brother Ma, Zhang Xianzhong would rebel again in at most two months. At that time, we can find a suitable opportunity to push out the news of Ma Wenlong's death."

Ma Mingfeng, Xu Liangxian and Yu Zhenghu exchanged their eyes, and they all thought that this method was still feasible. Finally, Xu Liangxian said with a wry smile: "We are betting on everything on your judgment of the current situation, and your success or failure depends on me."

Ma Mingfeng said with a confident look on his face: "You can rest assured that this is true. My judgment will never be wrong. In fact, the four of us are now grasshoppers on the same rope. Everyone has committed this crime of deceiving the king. If something really happens, no one can escape death. Although I am not afraid of death, I am not willing to be so heroic in this great age."

Ma Mingfeng said the word heroic at first, but others didn't understand it, but later they thought that it was all understood, and they couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, Ma Mingfeng could use language to this extent.

Since Ma Mingfeng was so sure, Xu Liangxian no longer hesitated. He immediately found Ding Pei, the young general who had just been promoted to a hundred households, and asked him to inform Chen Ziliang, saying that the matter had been done. Ma Tai asked him to come and discuss matters.

The conspiracy for mutiny today was originally planned by Chen Ziliang. After hearing that Ma Wenlong invited him, he had no doubts and went directly to see Ding Pei to pay homage to "Ma Wenlong". As soon as he walked into the hall, he was captured on the spot. After some coercion and temptation, he agreed to the conditions proposed by Xu Liangxian, and from then on behalf of the "sick" Ma Wenlong presided over all matters in Anqing Mansion.

Chen Ziliang was indeed quite talented. After the appointment, he issued several notices, which immediately calmed down Anqing City again and resumed operations. The previous martial law was also cancelled.

Seeing that the matter was finally over, although there was still some follow-up work, I believe that with the abilities of Chen Ziliang and Xu Liangxian, it is not difficult to completely eliminate the impact of this matter, so he felt that he should leave.
