At this time, the cabinet already knew about Li Mengyang kneeling outside the temple and crying, and also realized the seriousness of this problem.

Shoufu Ma Wensheng also knew about Li Mengyang's impeachment of his 24 counts, and he immediately found Zhu Houzhao now: "Your Majesty, please suspend the minister, this is the resignation of the minister." ”

According to the rules, officials who are impeached must take the initiative to stop resigning from the official position to defend themselves, and Ma Wensheng has always been a strict adherent to the rules, so he is naturally unwilling to break it, although he does not want to resign from the bottom of his heart, let alone let himself put in countless efforts to complete the reform of official governance, but he still has to abide by this rule.

"Not allowed!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't think about it, so he threw back the song handed by Ma Wensheng, and exhaled a long breath: "These people are really not afraid of life and death, I think that this test has really caught their sore spots, or not, it is nothing more than adding another life, compared to letting the Ming Dynasty perish, tens of millions of people were ruined, what is this, Liu Jin!" ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao shouted Liu Jin, Ma Wensheng realized that Zhu Houzhao was only afraid of killing people again, he was a civil official, and he was still a little unbearable for people of the same class as him, and he didn't want to increase the contradictions, so he persuaded:

"Your Majesty, wait! Li Mengyang is not dissatisfied with His Majesty, nor is he rebellious, but he is dissatisfied with the examination law, and he has a slight ear for the minister, and the minister asks His Majesty to give Li Mengyang a chance to persuade him, if Li Mengyang can wake up, I hope that His Majesty will spare him the death penalty, so as to avoid adding more lives due to reform! ”

"I have already given him a chance, and asked Liu Jin to send someone to warn him once", Zhu Houzhao said and said: "Ma Wensheng, Ma Wensheng, do you know who Li Mengyang scolded you for, and you are still pleading for him, are you really angry or really selfless?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister just thinks that if he can reform the new policy without sacrificing human life, he will not kill anyone, after all, everyone is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all ministers of His Majesty", Ma Wensheng said and simply knelt down: "Your Majesty!" The minister risked his life and begged His Majesty to let the minister persuade him once! ”

"Well, I'll give him another chance," Zhu Houzhao said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Wensheng said and turned around and walked out of the Forbidden City and headed for the Taimiao.

After Ma Wensheng left, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Ma Wensheng is too kind to a woman!" ”

……

Ma Wensheng came to Li Mengyang, and at this time, Li Mengyang still burst into tears and said: "First Emperor! Ma Junzhou chaotic dynasty and eunuch party, his sin is worse than Liu Jian's generation! ”

"Li Mengyang, why do you bother, even if the old man provokes you to hate, he has never killed the king, how can he say rebellious words!"

Ma Wensheng persuaded like an old man, and patted Li Mengyang on the shoulder.

Li Mengyang didn't expect Shoufu Ma Wensheng to come in person, and he also came to persuade himself in person, and he was even more satisfied, thinking that it seemed that his trouble was really effective, and he Ma Wensheng was really cowardly! It's really cowardly! Ha ha! As long as Marven is promoted, it will not be far from the emperor's instigation, and the new examination method will not be able to be implemented, and maybe he can save his life and get a straight name.

"You go away! I, Li Mengyang, will never be in a three-step place with traitors and dogs! He Liu Jian and others killed a gentleman, but you, Ma Wensheng, are trying to harm my Ming Dynasty's inheritance! ”

Therefore, Li Mengyang directly reprimanded him, without giving Ma Wensheng any face.

Ma Wensheng is still relatively lenient, and only patiently explained:

"How is this harming my foundation of the Ming Dynasty, it just so happens to be for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, so I have to do this method, you Li Mengyang has never been a stupid person, and he is also outspoken and daring to admonish, but it should also be clear that what has become of this officialdom now! Slack and mediocre officials are full of government and opposition, the tax arrears of the imperial court are becoming more and more serious, and even begin to compete for luxury and wealth, with who makes more money and whose officials are better, and the style of Shilin is becoming more and more degenerate, shouldn't it be changed, not how to govern the country and the people in the future! ”

"You are destroying my foundation of the Ming Dynasty, you not only ruined the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, you also ruined my foundation, I have a straight name in the court, the first emperor had intended to let me become a household servant and then enter the cabinet after the Ministry of Rites, but you Marven was promoted to the Ministry of Officials, but it prevented me from progressing, and now it is what kind of test method, so that I have become the head of the household from the household department, and I was criticized by you as a useless official, and the reputation I have worked so hard to accumulate is said by you to be a fame and reputation! I also wrote a birthday essay for you back then, and you Ma Wensheng are traitors! Phew! ”

Li Mengyang spit out on Ma Wensheng's face with a mouthful of saliva!

No matter what Ma Wensheng says, he is also the first assistant of the court, and now he is spitted on the spot, which is also a great humiliation!

And Ma Wensheng didn't expect Li Mengyang to spit on himself directly, and he was a little angry and very sad at the same time: "This is the real reason for you to impeach the old man?" ”

Li Mengyang didn't seem to want to hide it: "That's right! But I Li Mengyang still said the same thing, you Ma Wensheng is a traitor! Big traitor! Not only will I scold you like this, but the entire officials and gentry between the government and the opposition will scold you like this! It's not just about scolding you now, it's going to scold you like this for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years! As long as the world is still the world of my scholars, the world's scholars will still scold you, punish the ten clans of the king's civil servants, kill the officials and even collude with the eunuchs, these will become the basis for them to scold you! ”

"And although I, Li Mengyang, will be killed by you now, so what, after a hundred years, someone will restore my reputation, and the later emperor will give me the name of loyalty and martyrdom, and even seal my wife!"

"Ma Wensheng, I know that you are for the sake of the common people of the world, you are really thinking about the Ming Dynasty, but so what, you are not thinking about the gentry, you are even against all the gentry in the world now, so, I will become a loyal minister, you will become a traitorous minister, and that group of ordinary people is just a mustard, they will not stand up for you, and they don't even know you as a person! Hahaha! And you have to be scolded by the scholars all the time, even the people of your family will scold you! Those who have become scholars among the common people will also scold you! Hahaha! Ma Wensheng, do you still want to reform the New Deal? ”

Li Mengyang laughed at Ma Wensheng as he spoke, as if he was looking at Ma Wensheng like a fool.

Ma Wensheng's face was swollen red from being stimulated by Li Mengyang, he was angry just now, he was resentful now, and even had some heartache, he didn't know how to refute Li Mengyang, he only pointed at Li Mengyang: "You!" You! You! ”

Li Mengyang still looked at Ma Wensheng with a smug sneer: "Aren't you very angry, and you can't refute it, traitor!" You Ma Wensheng is a traitor! ”

Syllable!

Zhu Houzhao suddenly appeared, and a whip hit Li Mengyang in the face, and at the same time got off the horse and patted Ma Wensheng on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid! There is me behind you, I didn't even say that you Ma Wensheng is a traitor, who dares to say that you Ma Wensheng is a traitor! ”
