Because of Jiang Pengju's noisy, the entire Fengtian Palace was silent now. Zhu Hongsan walked over slowly, stared at Jiang Pengju and asked, "This time the title is my intention. Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"

When Jiang Pengju heard the emperor's tone of badness, he was so scared that he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "I...I dare not!"

Zhu Hongsan surrounded Jiang Pengju and asked, "Do you dare not? Are you dissatisfied! Say! What are you dissatisfied with me!"

Zhao Guodong next to him saw Jiang Pengju having a big fuss, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Jiang Blind, you know what kind of virtues you have. You will get drunk with some horse urine. He is not meant to do it!"

"Hmph! Isn't it intentional? Jiang Pengju, you haven't answered what I asked you yet. What are you dissatisfied with me?"

Jiang Pengju woke up at this time and knew that he had caused a big disaster today. Anyway, it was the case. Why did he break the pot and ask why the emperor was so partial!

Jiang Pengju took the initiative and looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am dissatisfied!"

"Oh, what are your dissatisfactions with blind man Jiang? Tell me out!"

Jiang Pengju made his heart a little and said, "Your Majesty, he, Ma Kun, Zhou Yu and Chen, are both from the second group of teaching groups. Why can they be named Duke? I am just an earl? I am not convinced!"

Zhu Hongsan looked at the ministers around him and said loudly: "Do you guys think so in your heart? I will tell you today!"

Zhu Hongsan pointed to Ma Kun and Zhou Yu and said, "Their qualifications are less than some of you, but what about their contributions? Ma Kun has been stationed in Wuchang for many years and used less than two divisions to restrain the Qing army in Hanyang for many years. At the same time, he also defeated Duoduo's 210,000 troops in Nanchang. Do you think this kind of contribution is not enough? Zhou Yu is the same. After I left Guangdong, Zhou Yu used a division of 15,000 troops to station Guangdong and defeated the 100,000 troops of King Gui Zhu Youlang! In the second year of Shenwu, he followed me to fight in Yunnan and Guizhou, and wiped out a total of 300,000 troops including Li Dingguo, Shuixi'an clan, etc. Is this kind of contribution not enough to be granted the title of Duke?"

Zhu Hongsan said this and the generals were speechless. Zhu Hongsan was right. Although Huguang was not the main battlefield, there were more than 200,000 Qing troops opposite. Ma Kun was able to use more than 200,000 people to fight them for many years, which also showed Ma Kun's ability. Zhou Yu even wanted to ensure the safety of Guangdong in the rear. Zhu Hongsan's arsenal was in Guangdong, and Zhou Yu had only 10,000 people at the beginning. It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be to guard the thousands of kilometers of border.

After saying that, Zhu Hongsan pointed at Jiang Pengju who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Look at you again. Relying on some minor achievements at the head of Xinyang City, he always boasted of this. I admit that you have made some contributions, but what have you done yourself? Beating soldiers, killing prisoners of war, and forcing the robbers of civilian women. These are not death crimes according to military law? I think you are a bit taller than being an earl!"

At this time, Ma Mingyuan next to him was angry when he saw the emperor, and took this opportunity to beat the army and let these Qiu Ba see that it was the civil officials who were making the decision.

Ma Mingyuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial! According to the war report sent by Jiang Pengju, the Jinan prefect refused to defend the government and then the whole family died under the fire of our army. However, recently, I received a report from the Shandong Governor that the Jinan prefect was going to surrender that day, so I handed over the Nancheng wall to Jinan Thousand Houses of Jinyiwei for repair. It was precisely because of the Jinan prefect's contribution that the Jinyiwei secret spies were able to bury thousands of kilograms of gunpowder under the southern wall so that our army could conquer Jinan. However, after entering the city, Jiang Pengju saw that the daughter of the Jinan prefect's daughter was handsome and raped the wife and daughter of the Jinan prefect. Afterwards, he was afraid that Your Majesty would investigate, so he lied about the military situation and said that the Jinan prefect had to resist stubbornly and the whole family died in the war!"

Jiang Pengju knelt on the ground and heard Ma Mingyuan telling the story of the day. Jiang Pengju started sweating on his head. He didn't expect that the matter would be too big. It would be nothing to kill the prefect. Lies about military affairs are a serious crime.

At this time, Zhao Guodong also felt that things were going to be bad, so he quickly said, "Your Majesty, the battlefield was in chaos at that time, who knew how that prefect died!"

Ma Mingyuan said gloomyly, "Duke Zhao, you were not silenced thoroughly that day. The Jinan prefect had a nephew crawled out of the dog hole and was now in Dali Temple. Why don't he come to confront you?"

Zhao Guodong cursed Jiang Pengju as a waste, who did not do a thorough job of killing people to silence the patient. Now that everyone has witnesses, they can only ask the emperor to spare their lives.

Zhao Guodong hugged Zhu Hongsan's legs and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Blind Man is wrong in doing this, but Jiang Blind Man is loyal to His Majesty. Please spare him because of the fate of Jiang Blind Man in Xinyang!"

After Zhao Guodong finished speaking, he looked around and shouted to Qian Yong and other generals: "Qian Yong, Wang Jinbao, do you beg for Your Majesty? Zhou Yumakun, are you all dead?"

Qian Yong and Wang Jinbao saw Zhao Guodong like this, and they were both military personnel from the military, so it was a bit unsavory to not stand up and plead for mercy. Although Zhou Yumakun hated Jiang Pengju to death, he did not help plead for this opportunity to make it seem that he was not generous enough. Seeing this, these people had no choice but to stand up and plead for Jiang Pengju.

Qian Yong said, "Your Majesty, Blind Jiang is the virtue of this. You don't know the depth of drinking some horse urine. Your Majesty also knows what kind of temperament he is. Please spare his life if Blind Jiang has no credit and hard work!" Several other people also stood up and said good things to Jiang Pengju. At this time, all the generals in the hall also knelt down together and asked Your Majesty to forgive Jiang Pengju's sins.

Zhu Hongsan was also very embarrassed when he saw that the matter had developed to this extent. According to Zhu Hongsan's arrangement just now, he was just going to scold Jiang Peng, who was causing trouble, and then imprisoned him in prison for two days, and it would be fine. But now Ma Mingyuan said this, and he could not agree to Jiang Pengju and those civil servants. But Zhu Hongsan was still a little reluctant to deal with Jiang Pengju. After all, Jiang Blind Man really made great contributions. Wouldn't he let all the generals down?

Seeing Zhu Hongsan hesitating, Ma Mingyuan said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Pengju has made great contributions, but Your Majesty has rewarded him. Now he has committed two major crimes of lying about military information and killing officials in the court. How can he do the world if Jiang Pengju is not brought to justice!"

Zhao Guodong was anxious when he saw Ma Mingyuan chasing and beating Jiang Pengju. At this time, Zhao Guodong didn't care about the unspoken rules that civil officials and generals were not allowed to intersect, and said to Ma Jiyuan, the third duke standing aside: "Duke Qin, please see when Jiang Pengju saved the old lady in Xinyang that year, and beg for him!"

Ma Jiyuan sighed in his heart when he saw this. As a civil servant, he knew why Ma Mingyuan dealt with military generals like this. It was just that he had the birds hiding their bows, and he didn't want to see the military generals' tails falling out of the city. However, Jiang Pengju had gone out of the city with his wife on his back. If Jiang Pengju hadn't fought to death, his yellow-faced woman would have died in Xinyang City.

Ma Jiyuan's conscience was not eaten by the dog, and there was still a little left. Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there are many doubts in this case. No one can tell what happened in Jinan back then, and he cannot imprison the Count of the court with just one witness. Therefore, I think it is better to leave this matter to the Jinyiwei to investigate carefully!"

Ma Jiyuan said that handing over this case to the Jinyiwei was to help Jiang Pengju. After all, Qian Lide was considered a military general and was from Huguang, so he could naturally let Jiang Pengju go. It is hard to say that he stayed in Dali Temple. It was the territory of the civil servants, so he could deal with Jiang Pengju anyway.

Ma Mingyuan sighed when he saw his elder brother standing up for Jiang Pengju. It seemed that Jiang Pengju was alive! Ma Mingyuan used methods to oust his elder brother Ma Jiyuan off the stage a few years ago. He felt very sorry for Ma Jiyuan and felt that he was owed Ma Jiyuan, so he hesitated for a long time and decided to give his elder brother a face. After all, Jiang Pengju is not an important general!

Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he heard Ma Jiyuan come out to plead, and said to the Jinyiwei outside the hall: "Okay, come here! Take Jiang Pengju to the imperial prison and then hand it over to the Jinyiwei for trial!"

Zhao Guodong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard His Majesty say this. In this way, Jiang Pengju would be considered dead.

Today's celebration banquet turned out like this, and Zhu Hongsan lost the mood to continue drinking. He told his subordinates that the celebration banquet was over today, and he returned to the harem with the help of Prince Zhu Hai.

Zhu Hongsan didn't drink much today. After returning to the Ganqing Palace, a young eunuch presented sobering soup. Zhu Hongsan took a few sips and asked, "Crown Prince, what do you think about this today?"

What can Zhu Hai think? He wished that the emperor could kill Jiang Pengju, but he was the crown prince and he had to pretend to be for the country and the people in front of the emperor.

"Father, if Jiang Pengju did the things in Jinan, then he would be more innocent. If it weren't for him, he should have made his innocence!"

Zhu Hai said nothing. Didn’t you know whether Jiang Pengju did it? Zhu Hongsan was very dissatisfied with what Zhu Hai said, frowned and asked, “What if Jiang Pengju did it?”

Zhu Hai looked up at Zhu Hongsan, and then said, "Then it should be handled in accordance with national laws!"

When Zhu Hongsan heard Zhu Hai say this, he knew that Zhu Hai and Zhu Jiang were already in the same situation. When Zhu Hongsan thought of this, he was very depressed. Do he have to follow the old path of all emperors? The elderly still have to worry about the issue of heirs? Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan was very depressed, so he waved his hand to let Zhu Hai retreat and then rested by himself.

Zhu Hai left the Ganqing Palace and thought in his mind that the power of the second son Zhu Jiang was gradually expanding. There were more than 30 people who pleaded for Jiang Pengju in the hall just now. These people were all from the Second Division. They were not sure whether they could oppose themselves in the future. It seemed that they had to make plans early.

Half a month later, the Jinyiwei responded. The nephew of the Jinyiwei committed suicide in prison, leaving words to admit that he had falsely accused Jiang Pengju. Jiang Pengju was naturally acquitted, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on. It would be difficult for the Jinyiwei to kill someone in prison? So no one cared about this.

However, the emperor's imperial edict came down and formed an infantry commander's yamen in the capital city, which was later known as the Nine Gate Admiral, to let Ma Jiyuan's son Ma Rufeng take the position as the main position. The unlucky Jiang Pengju was transferred from the front line to serve as the deputy position, which was also a disguised punishment for Jiang Pengju's trouble.
