"You're spewing blood!" Ma Shiying's face was gloomy and he pointed at the imperial historian.

The imperial historian smiled coldly and said: "Is the lower official a bloody mouth, I will know later that Lord Ma will explain it to your colleagues and His Majesty, the lower official dares to ask Lord Ma, whether the traitor Liu Liangzuo was promoted by Lord Ma, and now that Liu Liangzuo is a rebel and a thief, although he has been ambushed, does Lord Ma want to stay out of the matter, it seems impossible." ”

"You ---" Ma Shiying's face changed, his heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly looked at the emperor Zhu Cihong who was sitting on the dragon chair, although the emperor had said in front of him that he would not pursue the matter when he was still in Huai'an, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be nervous.

Gao Hongtu secretly showed a sneer, he had expected such a situation a long time ago, this was the back hand he arranged, Ma Shiying had this handle in his hands, and he wanted to compete with him for the position of first assistant, it was simply beyond his strength!

"Your Majesty, I beg you to arrest Ma Shiying and put him in prison immediately! Wait for his confession before he is convicted! Gao Hongtu knelt down.

"I implore the emperor to immediately issue an order to arrest Ma Shiying!" Almost half of the courtiers knelt down, as if they couldn't stand up for Zhu Cihong's crime of not curing Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying looked at this scene, and trembled a little with anger, many of the protégés here used to follow him, but they didn't want to follow the high-minded Donglin Party to punish him now, it was really a group of wall grass, extremely hateful.

Ma Shiying was helpless and silent, at this moment he could only wait for the emperor's disposal, if the emperor protected him, he could be saved, if the emperor repented and wanted to punish him, then his Ma family would be in danger.

"You don't have to argue, I already knew about this matter, and Ma Shiying had already confessed to me when he was still in Huai'an, people are not sages, who can do nothing, although Ma Shiying doesn't know anyone, but it doesn't have anything to do with Liu Liangzuo's rebellion, but his unknown people are indeed wrong, and he is not qualified to be the first assistant." Zhu Cihong said.

Hearing Zhu Cihong say this, Donglin Dang and others were all stunned, Gao Hongtu secretly scolded in his heart, Ma Shiying is really an old fox, and I don't know how he bewitched the emperor, and the emperor seems to have intended to protect it.

Ma Shiying was relieved, the emperor really remembered his promise in Huai'an and came forward to protect him.

"In this way, I have already made a decision, the official secretary Gao Hongtu has been an official for many years, and he has rich experience in governing the country, so he should be the first assistant of the cabinet, and I hope to fulfill my duties and assist me in governing the world!" Zhu Cihong's eyes are deep, now he has just ascended the throne, although he has the right, but the strength is not enough, since Gao Hongtu wants to be the first assistant so much, then what if he fulfills him, it should be to appease the Donglin Party, and after a few days, he has trained a new army, and when the military and political power is in his hands, if he wants to deal with the Donglin Party, he must be thunderbolted down to ensure that they are uprooted.

"Ma Shiying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, does not know the person, the Criminal Department is a place of judicial solemnity, and should have a unique vision, in view of Ma Shiying's shortcomings, he is now transferred to the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and the main military affairs are transferred." Zhu Cihong thought about it, and gave Ma Shiying the post of secretary of the military department. Although the position of the head of the cabinet was given to the Donglin Party, a little balance was still needed, and the Donglin Party could not really occupy the entire court, if that was the case, it would cause the Donglin Party to be too powerful, and it was also extremely inappropriate.

Ma Shiying was overjoyed, and he could see that the emperor was favoring him, and he didn't want the Donglin Party to be too powerful.

"Your Majesty---" Seeing that the emperor did not cure Ma Shiying's crimes, but instead transferred him to a position with real power like the secretary of the Ministry of War, the Donglin Party wanted to oppose it.

"Alright, I've made up my mind! If you Aiqing feel that there is anything wrong, I can withdraw all the appointments and discuss it again! Zhu Cihong waved his robe and glanced at everyone expressionlessly.

Everyone in the Donglin Party hurriedly shut up, although they were a little dissatisfied with the failure to bring down Ma Shiying, but keeping the position of the first assistant was the most important thing, and the matter of bringing down Ma Shiying could be dealt with later.

"The emperor is sage, the ministers have no opinion!" The Donglin Party is not insisting.

"The minister is high, and he wants to thank the lord Longen!" Gao Hongtu bowed to thanksgiving.

"Minister, Ma Shiying, thank you, Lord Longen!" Ma Shiying followed suit and bowed down to thank him.

Ma Shiying can see it, don't look at the emperor is only fifteen years old and weak, but he has already understood the balance of the emperor, and he has begun to show the appearance of a saint! Ma Shiying clearly knew that if he wanted to fight with the Donglin Party, he would have to hug the emperor's thigh in the future.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ma Shiying is now being transferred to the Ministry of War, but the Criminal Department has been vacated, if you want to improve the cabinet, you still need to choose a virtuous person!" Suddenly, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the ministry, came out of the ceremony.

was reminded by Qian Qianyi, all the people in the Donglin Party moved in their hearts, and immediately became active again, yes, although the military department was occupied by Ma Shiying, but the position of the criminal department was vacant, this is also an extremely important position, if you can let your own people go up, the position of the four pavilions is enough to suppress Ma Shiying's party to death.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Chen Chun, the squire of the Ministry of Works." The head of the household, Jiang Yueguang, recommended it.

Zhu Cihong frowned, although he didn't know who Chen Chun was, and he didn't have the heart to let this person stand up and know, but he knew very well that the person who was recommended by Jiang Yueguang, the big man of the Donglin Party, must also be a member of the Donglin Party.

Zhu Cihong was not wrong, Chen Chun's status in the Donglin Party was second only to Gao Hongtu, Qian Qianyi, and Jiang Yueguang, and the recommendation of this person to the Donglin Party must be convinced.

However, if the Donglin Party is convinced, it will be to block himself, Zhu Cihong is not so stupid.

"Ma Aiqing has been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, but there are different candidates?" Zhu Cihong glanced at all the courtiers, he didn't know who was qualified, and he was worried about being elected to the Donglin Party, so he asked Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying thought for a while and said: "Back to the emperor, Sun Ze, the servant of the Criminal Department, has been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, and he has experience and unique vision, and the minister thinks that Sun Ze is suitable to take over the post of secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

"Quasi-play! Sun Ze, the servant of the Criminal Department, stepped forward to listen to the order. ”

"Long live my emperor!" This is an official in his mid-forties.

"From now on, Sun Xue will be promoted to the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, and he will be the head of the cabinet, hoping to fulfill his duties and live up to his ------" Before Zhu Cihong finished speaking, the Donglin Party members couldn't sit still, and some people immediately jumped out to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are against it!"

Zhu Cihong was furious, pointed at this person and shouted: "Bold, interrupt me, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, minister, guilty!" The official was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

"I have made up my mind, Sun Xue has been promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department! Retreat! After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he didn't care if the courtiers below were still fine, he stood up and left, leaving a group of courtiers who looked at each other speechlessly.

Although the Donglin Party members were not convinced, but the emperor was gone, what was the use of opposing it, looking at Ma Shiying's face one by one, it must be this old fox who bewitched the emperor.

Watching the emperor flick his sleeves and leave, Jiang Yueguang pinched the chapter of Zuo Liangyu's salary in his sleeve robe, his face was embarrassed, he still wanted to wait for the meeting to bring it up for discussion, but the emperor was gone, if he wanted to fight for Zuo Liangyu's military salary, he could only look at it and discuss it with the emperor in private, after all, he had received Zuo Liangyu's gift, if he didn't do his best, wouldn't he be talked about, as for whether he could get the military salary, he could only resign himself to fate, and it was a big deal to return the gift given by Zuo Liangyu.
