Under the light of the fire, Luo Rong looked at Mei Guozhen, who was tied up and blindfolded, and then nodded.
"Very good. His Majesty will be happy to have such a capable assistant like General Ma. Come, take him away."
Luo Rong waved his hand. Immediately, three burly soldiers took Mei Guozhen and quickly disappeared from Ma Gui's sight.
"General Luo, he …"
Ma Gui asked tentatively.
"Oh, send him to Myanmar. Don't worry, His Majesty won't kill him. He is an old friend of His Majesty. His Majesty is a nostalgic person and doesn't like killing. When the new dynasty is settled, these old officials of the old dynasty will be sent to Myanmar to be taken care of. When the new dynasty is settled, they will regain their freedom. Don't worry!"
Ma Gui swallowed his saliva.
He was clear that Myanmar was the place where Xiao Ruxun truly rose to power. The people there, be it the government, the people, or the army, were all extremely loyal to Xiao Ruxun. If they knew that Xiao Ruxun had become the Empress, they would probably be so happy that they would be filled with gongs and drums and firecrackers. If they went to Myanmar, how would they be treated?
He couldn't guess and didn't dare to guess.
"What's General Luo going to do next? Does His Majesty have any other orders for I? "
Ma Gui continued to probe.
"Next, is General Ma willing to do the next thing with me?"
Do it together?
Ma Gui felt relieved for no reason and immediately expressed his enthusiasm, "I will never complain if I work for His Majesty and the new dynasty!"
"Good! His Majesty was right about General Ma! His Majesty said that General Ma would never hesitate! General Ma is reliable! Come, General Ma, follow me to the city to find the descendants of Sage Confucius! "
"Find them?"
Ma Gui was a little puzzled.
"Yes."
Luo Rong approached Ma Gui and whispered in his ear, "His Majesty said to let them go back to their old profession and persuade them to submit a petition."
Ma Gui was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
"I see. General Luo, don't worry. The defense of Qufu is under I's control. As long as I give the order, the gate can be opened at any time!"
"Good! General Ma, let's go together? "
"Let's go together!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Luo Rong laughed heartily and walked in front, while Ma Gui followed closely behind.
He even reached out and touched his forehead, which was covered in fine beads of sweat.
Xiao Ruxun was really going to be the emperor.
But …
Why was that?
Ma Gui didn't have time to think too much. Right now, the most important thing was to preserve his life and his future in the new dynasty. Everything else could wait.
In any case, Xiao Ruxun was determined to be the emperor.
Qufu was quickly opened up by Ma Gui's order. The city was opened in the middle of the night, and the army filed in to take over the defense on all four sides of the city. It was impossible for the commotion to be small. Luo Rong did not know whether the people in the city were awake or not. In any case, none of them came out to see what was going on. As for whether they were peeking from behind the windows, Luo Rong did not care. He was not here to loot the city.
He brought his men and followed Ma Gui straight to the Kong Family's Sacred Mansion. They lit torches uniformly and knocked on the door of the Kong Family's Sacred Mansion.
"Open the door! Open the door! "
Luo Rong did not stand on ceremony at all. He ordered the soldiers to knock on the door. The Kong Family had to get up in the middle of the night and listen to the movements outside in bewilderment.
An old servant leisurely walked to the gate and opened it. When he opened it, he was immediately stunned.
The ground was filled with fierce-looking soldiers holding torches.
The old servant was stunned. Luo Rong did not care and said, "You wait outside. The few of you come in with me. General Ma, shall we go together?"
"Ah? Yes! "
Ma Gui nodded quickly.
Luo Rong took a few steps forward and looked at the stunned old servant with a pleasant expression.
"Old man, we are really sorry to visit so late at night. We were sent by His Majesty. We have something important to discuss with Mr. Kong of the Sacred Mansion. Could you please inform him?"
The old servant opened his mouth.
"You … are …"
"His Majesty's army has come with the emperor's order!"
"I …"
"Since it is not convenient for you, old man, we will go find him ourselves."
Luo Rong lost his patience and pushed open the door. Ignoring the old servant, he led his personal guards and Ma Gui into the Kong Residence. The army outside automatically guarded the entrance of the Kong Residence. There were also other people who quickly went to the other entrances of the Kong Residence to guard them, preventing the Kong Family members from escaping.
Luo Rong entered the main gate of the Kong Residence without hesitation and went straight to the guest hall. The soldiers followed behind with torches. After entering the guest hall, Luo Rong sat down on his own and even asked Ma Gui to sit with him.
Ma Gui braced himself and sat down.
Not long after, Kong Shangxian rushed over with a few men in a panic. He saw Luo Rong and Ma Gui sitting casually on their seats and a few soldiers holding torches around them.
He quickly ordered his family to light the candles and then approached Luo Rong with some doubts.
"General, you are?"
"I am here to visit Duke Yan under the emperor's order."
Luo Rong stood up and bowed to Kong Shangxian with a smile.
Ma Gui also stood up.
"General Xiao … this is?"
Kong Shangxian did not know who Ma Gui was and thought that he was Xiao Gui, so he asked Ma Gui. Ma Gui did not know how to answer and looked at Luo Rong.
Luo Rong said, "Duke Yan, didn't I tell you? We are here to visit Duke Yan under the emperor's order. "
Emperor's order?
Kong Shangxian thought for a moment.
Xiao Ruxun conquered the capital and set things right?
Was it sent by the old emperor?
Could it be that he did not have time to deal with the previous He Biao?
It couldn't be?
Kong Shangxian's face suddenly turned pale.
"I have not congratulated General Xiao on conquering the capital and successfully restoring His Majesty to the throne. I am very happy, but I wonder if General has come so late at night just for this matter?"
"What do you mean just for this matter?"
Luo Rong said with a smile, "And what do you mean by successfully restoring His Majesty to the throne?"
"Ah?"
Kong Shangxian was a little confused and did not understand what Luo Rong was talking about.
"Please explain, General."
"What else is there to explain? The Emperor of Daqin has just conquered the capital, killed the rebels, and ascended the throne. How can he be restored to the throne? When has the Emperor of Daqin ever abdicated the throne? "
"Great …"
Kong Shangxian suddenly realized something.
The men behind him also seemed to realize something.
It can't be?
Has the world changed?
Daming, the world has changed?
Xiao Ruxun seems to be Duke Qin, right?
Daqin …
"Shen Yicheng, the rebel of the former Ming Dynasty, was insane and killed the Wanli Emperor of the former Ming Dynasty before conquering the city. The world is without a ruler and the people are in a panic. The Emperor of Daqin has to follow the will of the people and rule the world for the sake of the world."
Luo Rong had explained the matter very clearly.
He also took a sword from the soldier beside him and held it with both hands.
Xiao Ruxun's sword.
Kong Shangxian also understood.
In a short moment, Kong Shangxian's expression changed dramatically.
His keen political sense allowed him to understand what was the most important thing for him to do now!
He bent his knees and fell to the ground.
