After Ma Shiying finished speaking, Zhu Yousong said in a panic: "Life is based on loyalty and filial piety, and now the first emperor's revenge has not been avenged, which is disloyalty; The father died tragically, and the mother had no news, because of unfilial piety, and he categorically could not ascend the throne. ”

Zhu Yousong said this, but no one took it to heart, because there was a strange setting in ancient China, you have to be humble in everything, which makes you seem to be unwilling, so although Zhu Yousong wants to sit on the dragon chair with a fart, but on the surface, he has to shirk it.

Ma Shiying heard the emperor say this and then said: "Your Majesty, now that the country has no king, we must take the throne as soon as possible, so that the world can be stable!" ”

Ma Shiying's abacus was very simple, that is, to implement Zhu Yousong's throne as soon as possible, and then concentrate the national strength of the whole country to confront the Liukou and Manchu Qing in the north.

Ma Shiying thought very well, but he thought too much about the discipline of the Donglin Party's-stirring sticks. These guys from the Donglin Party probably don't have any good points in governing the country, but they are definitely experts in dragging their feet, beating sticks, and playing black hands.

As a veteran of the Donglin Party, Zhang Shenyan is an old minister who has experienced the four dynasties, from the thirty-eighth year of Wanli to Jinshi, Renshou Zhang Zhixian to the present, has experienced Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, Chongzhen four dynasties, in the Donglin Party and the ministers present in the prestige, but not Ma Shiying, a villain who is attached to the party and the eunuch party, can compare.

Zhang Shenyan heard Ma Shiying say this and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Fu, the old minister heard that the first emperor and the crown prince escaped, and now his whereabouts are unknown, it is better to wait and say, it is better to ask King Fu to supervise the throne immediately, if there is no news from the first emperor and the prince in half a year, it will not be too late to ascend the throne and inherit the unification!" ”

Zhang Shenyan is old and old, so it is naturally nothing to say this. But it made Zhu Yousong angry. What the? You still have to wait for the prince to come, so what about the king?

But Zhang Shenyan represents not him alone, but the entire Nanzhili officialdom, Zhu Yousong had no choice but to laugh and say: "Yes, what Mr. Zhang said is very right!" Now the crown prince and the two kings of Yong and Ding are still missing among the thieves, and they may be able to escape. Moreover, King Gui, King Hui, and King Rui are all my uncles, and you gentlemen can choose their sages. ”

Zhu Yousong was not very satisfied with the Donglin Party guys, so he finally said some angry words, if you guys are not optimistic about this king, you can go to King Gui and them. Of course, Zhu Yousong still has the confidence to say this, after all, there are more than 100,000 troops outside, and if the Donglin Party does not agree, they will immediately admonish them.

Hearing that Zhu Yousong was going to pick a son, Shi Kefa stood up, so he could stabilize Zhu Yousong. Zhu Yousong thought about it, and it seemed that it was impossible for him to ascend the throne directly, so he had to supervise the country first.

"Since you gentlemen think that this king should first supervise the country, then this king promises you, if one of the princes and the sons of the first emperor arrives in the southern capital, then this king will definitely abdicate and make way for Xian!"

Ma Shiying couldn't help it when she heard Zhu Yousong say this, so she had to agree. Then Ma Shiying discussed with the princes of Nanjing, crossed the river on the first day of the fifth month, first went to Xiaoling to worship Emperor Taizu, and then went to the imperial city to supervise the country.

On the first day of the fifth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, accompanied by Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, and Xu Hongji, the governor of Caojiang, crossed the river through Pukou and landed at Yanziji outside Nanjing.

Zhu Yousong took the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to the Tomb of Xiaozu Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Yiwen to worship the mausoleum of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Yiwen, and then entered Nanjing from Chaoyangmen.

On the third day of the first month of May, Zhu Yousong took office as the supervisor of the state in the palace city of Nanjing, cast the national treasure of the prison with gold, and issued an edict to the world: Avoid the chaos of Jianghuai alone, and be shocked to hear the fierce obituary, which not only hurts the ruins of the society, but also excites the hatred of his parents. If you don't have a chance, you will be rewarded. However, the degree of virtue is measured, and the wandering is not embarrassed. Naiz ministers, Jinger came to welcome, said that the advocacy can not be ownerless, the artifact can not be empty for a long time, because of the order of the fallacious push, even the chapter persuasion, the fixed words have not been obtained, reluctantly follow the public opinion, in the third day of the fifth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, temporarily accepted the number of the prison country, the court to see the subjects in the southern capital, the lonely night competition, but the thought of sweeping the demon atmosphere, clear the great difficulty. Deliang has a heavy responsibility, such as falling into the valley, and the same enemy is helping, and the subjects of Yurel. It is the beginning of the world, and the world can be amnesty. (This is the original text)

After Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, he would reward meritorious ministers, which was also inevitable, after all, Ma Shiying and others had meritorious service, and it was really unreasonable not to give them official positions.

Since Zhu Di moved the capital, the Nanjing Imperial Palace has been basically uninhabited, and only more than 100 people are retained to be responsible for daily maintenance. The Fengtian Hall of the three major halls has not been repaired since it was burned down by the heavenly fire in the Chenghua period, and the other two halls are also dilapidated, so there is no way to hold the first court meeting of this new dynasty only to the Wuying Palace, which is relatively intact.

The Ming Dynasty court meeting has the prototype of the cabinet system in later generations, and the emperor is completely a decoration if he is not strong, and the cabinet chief assistant is the core figure of the court meeting. However, at the beginning of the establishment of the imperial court today, there was no first assistant, so Zhu Yousong had no choice but to ask: "Gentlemen, now that the imperial court is newly established, what are the good candidates for this cabinet?" ”

The people who are qualified to participate in the court meeting today are all ministers of the DPRK and China, and a Qipin in his thirties stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends Shi Kefa, Zhang Shenyan, and Gao Hongtu to join the cabinet!" ”

According to the Ming Dynasty system, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department was the first of the hundred officials in the capital of the residence, so Shi Kefa was naturally qualified to enter the cabinet. As for Zhang Shenyan and Gao Hongtu, both of them are Donglin bigwigs, regardless of their status and status, they are more than enough to enter the cabinet.

But Zhang Shenyan is already a secretary of the ministry, this official position is much more awesome than the cabinet cabinet, Zhang Shenyan didn't want to give up this position, thought about it and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and has insufficient energy to deal with state affairs, so the minister wants to stay in office!" The minister recommended Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi Jiang said that Guang entered the cabinet! ”

Gao Hongtu also stood up and excused himself when he heard Zhang Shenyan say this: "Your Majesty, the minister also wants to stay in office, and the minister recommends Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Chongzhen Dynasty, to enter the cabinet!" ”

Jiang Yueguang and Wang Duo are both the new generation of the Donglin Party, they are different from Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan, they have not experienced the national capital dispute during the Wanli period, so there are fewer contradictions with Zhu Yousong. Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan's intention was to try to let the "righteous people" occupy the key points, so that there would be a new atmosphere at the beginning of the establishment of the imperial court. And Jiang Yueguang and Wang Duo, regardless of their qualifications and academic qualifications, are more than enough to enter the cabinet, and with Shi Kefa, who holds real power, as the first assistant and auxiliary government, the country will definitely be able to recover in a short period of time.

In fact, regardless of the Donglin Party and Ma Shiying, their original intentions were good, and they all wanted to end the party struggle as soon as possible, strive for internal unity, and concentrate their forces to deal with foreign enemies. But when both sides want to make their own decisions, disagreements inevitably arise.

Ma Shiying stood behind Shi Kefa and listened to these Donglin stirring sticks talking, and after a while, the cabinet position was assigned, what about himself? But he has taken the lead in supporting King Fu, and these guys have completely eliminated themselves.

Ma Shiying's anxious look Zhu Yousong saw it in his eyes, although the new supervisor is stupid, he is not stupid, the imperial power and the prime minister are inherently opposed, Zhu Yousong still knows this, now the Donglin Party has divided the cabinet candidates, which is not a good thing, which means that he will not have the right to speak in the DPRK as a supervisor in the future.

Zhu Yousong looked at Ma Shiying, and then asked, "What about Ma Shiying?" Ma Shiying has the ability to make decisions, why can't he join the cabinet? ”

Ma Shiying heard Zhu Yousong mention that she was overjoyed, and it seemed that the prison country still hadn't forgotten herself.

However, Ma Shiying was happy too early, although Ma Shiying was powerful in politics, but Zhang Shenyan's experience of the Four Dynasties was not comparable to that of Lu Zhenfei when he was in Huai'an.

Zhang Shenyan stood up and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Ma Shiying has made a decision this time, and he should join the cabinet, and the minister recommends Ma Shiying to serve as the secretary of the military department!" ”

Ma Shiying was overjoyed when she heard Zhang Shenyan say this, but she didn't expect that these Donglin Party members are not all-stirring sticks, is this old man Zhang still very good.

Ma Shiying was happy, but Zhang Shenyan's next words made him unhappy.

"Your Majesty, now Liukou Bingfeng has reached Shandong, Henan and other places, less than 100 miles away from Xuzhou and Huai'an. Ma Shiying has been supervising in Fengyang all the year round, and is very familiar with the military situation in Jiangbei, for the sake of the country's society, the minister thinks that the governor of Fengyang should continue to serve as Ma Shiying, so that the generals in Jiangbei can also be controlled! ”

After Zhang Shenyan finished speaking, Ma Shiying's eyes were long, he didn't expect this old man to be so ruthless, and he actually played the game of rising and descending secretly, ostensibly giving himself a cabinet position, but he still had to go to Fengyang to supervise the teacher, isn't that the same as before? Lao Tzu worked hard for King Fu to ascend the throne, but he didn't expect to return to the original point.

Zhu Yousong was dumbfounded when he heard Zhang Shenyan say this, but Zhu Yousong couldn't help it, what Zhang Shenyan said was reasonable, and the official position was given to you Ma Shiying, what else do you want?

Zhu Yousong hesitated for a while, and saw that no one stood up to defend Ma Shiying, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is a scholar of the East Pavilion University and a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he will be an assistant to the cabinet; Ma Shiying was a scholar of the Dongge University, a scholar of the military department, and the right deputy of the imperial history, and still served as the governor of Fengyang. Zhan Shi Jiang said that he was widely the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Duo, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the two of them were also scholars of Dongge University to work in the cabinet. Zhang Shenyan remained as the secretary of the ministry, Gao Hongtu remained as the secretary of the household department, and Liu Zongzhou was the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! ”

Zhu Yousong is now in charge of the country, and he follows the law, Ma Shiying saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and sighed in his heart that it was really a trick, but he didn't expect the Donglin Party to do such a thing and completely exclude himself from the cabinet. At the same time, Ma Shiying also found that the DPRK and the Central Committee were all members of the Donglin Party, and there was no one who was willing to follow him.

Just when Ma Shiying was deflated at the first court meeting, Ma Cheng took a small car and a small car to Pukou, and saw the rolling Yangtze River, Ma Cheng stood by the river and shouted: Nanjing! Lao Tzu is here! (Actually, the first part is over here, and the next part is that Comrade Pony began to go to the Nanjing Donglin Party!) ）
