Zhu Cihong's face sank, staring at Ma Shiying kneeling below, a little unhappy, Ma Shiying, this old guy is planning to fight-for-tat to the end.

"Ma Shiying, do you have to object?" Zhu Cihong asked again in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the ancestral system is related to the country, shaking the ancestral system is shaking the country, the disrespect for the ancestors of the past dynasties, the old minister must not watch the emperor become an unfilial and unfilial king!" Ma Shiying was very hard, his brain was hot, and he even said such words directly.

"Ma Shiying!" Zhu Cihong was furious, stood up suddenly, pointed at Ma Shiying and sneered: "Heh, you even moved out the word unfilial piety, you are really capable!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Cihong's voice suddenly became louder: "I told you! The first emperor was in danger when he was in danger, as the son of the great tomorrow, if I could not guarantee that the Ming dynasty would be disrespectful to the emperors of the past dynasties, it would be the greatest unfilial piety! ”

"I think that the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for nearly three hundred years, from the two generations of Hongwu Yongle to conquer the world and submit to all nations, to now the rogue is everywhere, internal and external troubles, the Ming army has been defeated in successive battles for decades, and the emperor has lost half of the country so far, why is this? It's all because of the incompetence of my Ming army! The ancestral system established by the two generations of Hongwu Yongle emperors was established according to the situation at that time, but there was nothing wrong with it, but now the situation of my Ming Dynasty has changed, internal and external troubles, and the ancestral system of the year is no longer applicable to the present. ”

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Ma Shiying.

"Ma Shiying, you have also seen the achievements of the Ying Long Army all the way, my reform of the military system is implemented with reference to the Ying Long Army, once it is implemented, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will be on a higher level, and within five years, it will be able to re-unify the world, attack in all directions, and restore the surrender of our ten thousand states, do you still want to oppose it!"

As the emperor, although Zhu Cihong can forcibly implement innovation, if he can get the understanding of Ma Shiying, the first assistant, the resistance he will encounter will be at least half less.

After Liu Zongzhou listened, he sighed and stood up.

Liu Zongzhou was originally a military hardliner, and he was very dissatisfied with the successive defeats of the Ming Dynasty for decades, and he also knew that what Zhu Cihong said was the truth, but the existing military system of the Ming Dynasty was the reason for the low combat effectiveness of the Ming army, which was to change.

Zhang Zongyi hesitated for a few breaths and also stood up, and at the same time, there were more than a dozen other courtiers standing up behind Liu Zongzhou and Zhang Zongyi.

At this point, only Ma Shiying, Huang Daozhou, and Qian Qianyi are stubborn among the six cabinet elders.

Huang Daozhou and Qian Qianyi were the leaders of the Donglin Party and one of the great Confucians in the world, and the concept of loyalty to the monarch is particularly important, and it is difficult to agree with Zhu Cihong's decision to change the ancestral system anyway.

Ma Shiying also hesitated, his face changed unpredictably, in fact, as soon as he said that sentence just now, he regretted it in his heart, but his previous words had already been said, how could he take it back.

Although I also vaguely feel that what the emperor said has a certain amount of truth, but no matter how I say it, Ma Shiying can't let go of his face, maybe it is the stubbornness of the old man who is making trouble, Ma Shiying usually looks reasonable, but in fact, his heart is also full of the stubbornness of the old man.

"Your Majesty, the ancestral system cannot be shaken!" Ma Shiying is also stubborn.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that the ancestral system must not be shaken!" Huang Daozhou is as rigid as Ma Shiying.

"Your Majesty, the old minister agrees with what Lord Shoufu and Huang Ge Lao said, and he can't agree with the emperor to change the ancestral system!" Qian Qianyi experienced burning down the Donglin Book Society and destroying the Donglin Party with his own hands, and he had a pimple in his heart, but he was not as tough as Ma Shiying and Huang Daozhou.

"Ma Shiying, you're so angry!" Zhu Cihong was so angry that his face was blue, pointing at Ma Shiying and the others, and roaring angrily, he had said everything to this point, Ma Shiying was still so stubborn, did he want him, the emperor, to kneel down and beg him? Can he Ma Shiying stand it!

"I don't care if you agree or not, it is imperative for me to reform the military system, and tomorrow I will issue a holy decree!" Zhu Cihong is too lazy to say more, anyway, whether they agree or not, innovation must be implemented!

"The emperor is angry! Ministers support the emperor! Although Ma Shiying, Huang Dao, Zhou Qianqianyi, and half of the courtiers disagreed, there were still thirty courtiers such as Li Yan, Sun Zhe and Qian Buqian who firmly supported it, and Liu Zongzhou and Zhang Zongyi and more than a dozen other courtiers did not clearly express their support, but he stood up before, at least indicating that they would not object. Half of the people who firmly support and do not oppose it, even if Zhu Cihong forcibly implements it, the resistance he encounters is bearable.

"Let's get flat!" Glancing at Li Yan, Liu Zongzhou and others, Zhu Cihong's tone softened slightly.

Li Yan, Sun Ze, Qian Buqian and others got up immediately, Qian Buqian also secretly provoked Ma Shiying, very proud, so angry that Ma Shiying, his beard shook, his face flushed, he only felt that there was money around the emperor and there was no shortage of such ministers, the future of the Ming Dynasty was worrying, as the first assistant, he must not let the emperor be bewitched by such a minister!

Ma Shiying was still kneeling, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and he is not energetic in many things, if the emperor does not listen to the old minister, he will implore the emperor to allow the old minister to return to his hometown!" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister also feels dizzy and lacks energy, and begs the emperor to allow the old minister to return to his hometown!" Huang Daozhou and Ma Shiying fell to the ground almost at the same time, which shows that the degree of rigidity between the two is almost the same.

Only Qian Qianyi was already slightly hesitant, but seeing Ma Shiying and Huang Daozhou like this, Qian Qianyi had to grit his teeth, bow to the ground together, and prepare to return to his hometown!

Staring at Ma Shiying and the others and the half of the courtiers kneeling behind them, Zhu Cihong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment.

"You old stubborn, this is persecuting me!" Zhu Cihong's tone was a little cold, and many officials' hearts trembled slightly.

"Good! Ma Shiying, since you don't want to be this first assistant, then I will fulfill you and allow you to return to your hometown! Zhu Cihong sneered, Ma Shiying They are tough, but he, the emperor, is even tougher, to see who can fight whom.

Ma Shiying's body trembled, what does the emperor mean by this, listening to the emperor's tone, it seems that he is only allowed to return to his hometown alone.

"Old minister, thank the emperor for his grace!" The corners of Ma Shiying's mouth twitched, and at this point, he could only stubbornly fight to the end, and then slowly took off the black gauze hat on the top of his head, revealing the already half-silver hair on the top of his head, and put the black gauze hat on the ground.

"The emperor insisted on going his own way, and asked the emperor to allow the old ministers to return to their hometowns!" The old man of Huang Daozhou said angrily with a flushed face.

However, Qian Qianyi was silent at this time, causing Huang Daozhou to snort coldly and ignore it, in the final analysis, since Qian Qianyi personally burned down the Donglin Publishing House, Huang Daozhou has always looked down on Qian Qianyi, thinking that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for power!

Zhu Cihong ignored Huang Daozhou, only glanced at him and then flicked his cuffs: "Hmph, retreat!" ”
