As for the Queen's treatment, it was also very simple.
The person in charge of the military law office asked the Queen to eat and dress well. He also selected a few of the noble ladies to serve the Queen together and serve her well.
There was no doubt about this. Her fate could only be arranged by Xiao Ruxun. This was the rule.
In order to vent his unexplainable lust, Li Rusong arranged for a high-ranking official's wife to serve him. After venting his lust for a long time, he finally got rid of the unconscious woman in the middle of the night.
Xu Yangchuan's body was not as strong as Li Rusong's. After tossing and turning for two hours, he finally got rid of his desire. Tomorrow, he could deal with military affairs in the state of a sage.
When Ma Wei learned that Li Rusong had caught Hou Yangcheng and his Queen, it was April 27th of the second year of Longwu.
"Really caught?!"
Ma Wei was extremely happy when he heard the messenger's report.
"Yes, Commander-in-chief. They were really caught, along with 136 officials. Unfortunately, many officials and their families died in the civil strife on the night before Jingdu was breached. Our army could not continue to expand the victory. Otherwise, we should have been able to catch more than 300 officials."
The messenger looked regretful.
Ma Wei was already very happy.
"General Li has made a great contribution this time. I want to ask for credit for General Li! You can go get your reward and rest! "
The messenger immediately thanked Ma Wei after hearing this.
After the messenger left, the expression on Ma Wei's face became a little calmer.
He was not surprised that Li Rusong had made such a great contribution. In fact, when Xiao Ruxun ordered Li Rusong to lead the cavalry to attack the capital of Japan to carry out the decapitation tactic, Ma Wei almost knew Xiao Ruxun's intention.
He wanted to give Li Rusong a great contribution and let Li Rusong gain a foothold in the new dynasty, instead of giving up Liaodong to gain a foothold in the new dynasty.
Ma Wei was born in a family of generals and had a good understanding of the ways of a general. He had been Xiao Ruxun's personal guard and had climbed up from the lowest rank to the top. He had also been influenced by the cultural education that Xiao Ruxun had arranged for the generals. He was no longer an illiterate old man.
Ma Wei had also learned his lesson after the Northern Expedition, the establishment of the new dynasty, and the great purge.
He guessed that the emperor was flattering the Li family and wanted to raise the Li family up again, so as to restrict the Ma family to a certain extent.
The Ma family had too many officers and generals in the army, so the Emperor was a little worried.
When Ma Wei realized this, it wasn't too late.
Including himself, there were also Ma Hu, Ma Chong, Ma Gui, who had known Xiao Ruxun for a long time, and Ma Jin, who later sought refuge. The five of them were called the Ma Family's Five Tiger Generals in the Daqin army. They were five senior generals, led by him, and became one of the seven main generals of the Zhennan Army, the foundation of the Daqin state.
The Ma Family's Five Tiger Generals were very famous in the Daqin army. In addition to the five of them, there were more than 20 children of the Ma family who served as middle and basic officers in the army. It was conceivable that in the future, the Ma family would also flourish.
Many people had already called the Ma family the first general family in the Daqin.
Once any official family became the first in a certain field, it was tantamount to becoming the target of public criticism, not to mention in the army.
Ma Wei was very clear about the Emperor's strict control over the army, but even so, the Ma family's prestige and relationship in the army were not small, and their influence was also relatively large.
Now that Xiao Ruxun was not the commander-in-chief in the army, but the Emperor, he naturally had related concerns. Not to mention that the Daqin state was founded through the Lugouqiao Mutiny, and Xiao Ruxun was pushed to the throne by this group of generals. It was already very good for Xiao Ruxun to be able to do what he did now.
But in all the dynasties, which emperor did not guard against a general?
Ma Wei, who had read a lot of history books, deeply understood this point.
It was impossible for Xiao Ruxun to not have any suspicions about them, and it was impossible for her to not have her guard up against them, not to mention the Ma Clan, which was known as the number one general clan in Great Qin.
Apart from the Ma family, the Great Qin Army did not have such a powerful force. Only Zhao Hu was still in the army from the Yuan Cong faction, which had the highest status, the most authority, and the most experience. Wang Hui had retired to the military academy, and Chen Xie had long left the army to manage the police.
Yuan Cong's faction seemed to be big, but there was only Zhao Hu in charge. Luo Rong and the others were all behind him, so there were not many people left in the Ningxia firearms camp.
Zhao Hu and Xiao Ruxun grew up together, so they were absolutely trusted. The Ningxia firearms camp followed Xiao Ruxun to fight all over the world, from north to south, and from south to north, so they had a close relationship.
Besides Yuan Cong's faction, there was also the Ma family. The Ma family and the Myanmar generals grew up together, but the Ma family had a lot of people, so they formed their own faction. They were very different from the Myanmar generals who were raised from the bottom.
The Myanmar faction had the most number of generals, but their numbers were disorderly and they came from different backgrounds. Although they all started in Myanmar, it was difficult to form a faction. Not to mention, there was also Jiang Dahai, who was a loyal follower of Xiao Ruxun, so they were not worth guarding against.
In the end, the most worth guarding against was the Ma family that was connected by blood. They held more than twenty positions in the army and directly or indirectly managed hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If Xiao Ruxun did not guard against them, then Ma Wei would find it strange.
Throughout the dynasties, all the powerful and famous generals did not have a good ending. Xiao Ruxun was one of them. Then he overthrew Daming and established the Daqin. He became the emperor and changed his fate.
So, it was not surprising that he suspected the generals under him would do the same thing.
Every time he thought of this, Ma Wei was a little afraid. He was afraid that Xiao Ruxun would really think so and act against the Ma family.
As time passed, he could no longer recognize what kind of person the emperor was.
But what he could be sure of was that Xiao Ruxun was no longer the Marshal Xiao who showed his strength in North Korea and had great ambitions in Myanmar.
If Xiao Ruxun really suspected them, what would he do?
After a long period of observation, Ma Wei discovered the reason why Xiao Ruxun had such strong control over the army. So he was very clear that if Xiao Ruxun acted against the Ma family, the Ma family would not have any power to fight back.
Just like those officials who were purged.
Would the soldiers in the army rebel? Would they rebel against Xiao Ruxun?
Ma Wei said it was impossible. With Xiao Ruxun's current prestige in the army, he only needed to appear and he could make the soldiers cry with excitement. Would this kind of army rebel?
The Ma family was only a family of generals and had no intention of rebelling. Ma Wei knew this very well.
But Ma Wei also knew that since ancient times, which general in rebellion had deliberately planned to rebel from the beginning?
Guo Wei didn't want to rebel against Liu Zhiyuan from the start, Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to rebel against Chai Rong from the start, and Xiao Ruxun definitely didn't want to rebel against the Great Ming Dynasty from the start. If she wasn't forced, then she was forced by the situation.
Once the emperor's suspicions appeared, they could not be dispelled.
