"If Your Majesty is indeed martyred, we will naturally make His Royal Highness King Fu the Son of Heaven."

Shi Kefa glanced at King Fu and continued: "However, since Lu Zhenfei wrote a letter saying that His Majesty had returned to Huai'an from the south of the sea route, Lu Zhenfei was the dignified governor of Huaiyang and the governor of Caoyun, so naturally he would not lie.

Since His Majesty is still here, what new emperor is still needed? I have Lu Zhenfei's handwritten letter here, Ma Yaocao, you can identify the authenticity. ”

Shi Kefa said, took out a letter from his sleeve, and looked at Ma Shiying coldly.

"Even if the letter is true, how do you know that Lu Zhenfei won't lie?" Lu Jiude, the eunuch standing beside King Fu, suddenly screamed.

"Now that the thieves have captured Beijing, they will definitely bring troops to attack Nanjing, the situation is already so dangerous, where do we have time to delay, set up a new son of heaven as soon as possible, and prepare to deal with the thieves one day earlier.

"Phew! Emasculating, where do you have the right to intervene in the major affairs of the court, the so-called improper name is not good, Your Majesty is still here, you want to make King Fu the Son of Heaven, do you want me to fall into civil strife in the Ming Dynasty? ”

Before Shi Kefa could speak, Lu Daqi on the side pointed at Lu Jiude and scolded sharply.

"You, you!" Lu Jiude pointed at Lu Daqi, speechless angrily.

Ma Shiying listened to the quarrel between Lu Daqi and Lu Jiude, and coughed impatiently, but Lu Daqi ignored him at all, and still pointed at Lu Jiude and scolded.

Ma Shiying's face sank, and his sharp gaze swept towards the queue of lords standing on the right, staring at the face of Ruyibo Liu Kongzhao.

Liu Kongzhao's face changed, and he finally gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Even if Chongzhen is still alive, what can he do? Is he still qualified to be emperor? ”

Liu Kongzhao shouted loudly, and his words shocked the audience.

"Chongzhen, as the king of a country, abandoned the capital and fled in a hurry, leaving the Zongmiao Sheji, the ancestors' tombs and even a family of Manchu Dynasty civil and military to the thieves, only caring about his own life, is such a person worthy of being the Son of Heaven?"

"Cruel and ferocious, suspicious by nature, slaughtering ministers, indiscriminately killing loyal and good, treating the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty as slaves who are inferior to pigs and dogs, since he ascended the throne, dozens of ministers have died under his butcher's knife, and the first assistant has been changed more than 50 times in 17 years, is such an unkind person worthy of being the Son of Heaven?"

"Greedy by nature, abusing the people, repeatedly increasing taxes, making people angry and complaining about the people's misery, hundreds of people rose up, the whole north was full of desolation, and even the capital fell, how can such an incompetent person continue to be the son of heaven?"

"Now, Daming has reached a time of turmoil, and a benevolent monarch is needed to set things right, how can Chongzhen continue to spoil Daming's country?"

Liu Kongzhao stood up, impassioned, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Chongzhen.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!"

"Liu Kongzhao, you bastard!"

The crowd in the hall was suddenly excited, and many people pointed at Liu Kongzhao with excitement and cursed. No matter how Chongzhen is, he is also the king of a country, his own father, and the prince of heaven and earth, how can there be a reason for the courtiers to criticize the king's faults?

But there are also people who lower their heads and fall into deep thought. To be honest, Chongzhen, the emperor, has really not been good over the years, but should all these sins be attributed to Chongzhen?

Liu Kongzhao stopped talking, and looked at the angry ministers with a calm expression.

"Roar what, roar what? Don't you scholars often say, 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light'? Sheji is almost unable to keep it, of course you have to re-establish the emperor, could it be that all your books have been read in the dog's stomach? ”

Liu Kongzhao stopped talking, but Zhao Zhilong, the uncle of Xincheng, stood up and pointed at everyone and reprimanded.

"I, you Zhao Zhilong, like Liu Kongzhao, received the grace of my Ming Dynasty, and was an earl who rested with the country, but he also did things like a chaotic minister and a thief, and his face barked here!"

Lu Daqi was furious, pointed at Zhao Zhilong and scolded loudly.

While Lu Daqi and other ministers were scolding Liu Kongzhao and Zhao Zhilong, Shi Kefa's face became more and more ugly, and his heart had fallen into infinite despair.

Although Xu Jiujue, the head of the lords, has not yet spoken out to express his position, Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao are both lords who hold military power, which means that all the troops in Nanjing have been controlled by Ma Shiying, and the general trend has gone!

"How dare you scold me!" Zhao Zhilong's temper was much hotter than Liu Kongzhao's, his fist was raised and his eyes were wide open, and he walked towards Lu Daqi.

Seeing that a brawl was about to take place, the soldiers standing on both sides were already stunned, and it turned out that the ministers who were high up and high up wanted to scold the street brawl like shrews, which was really eye-opening.

Ma Shiying was conflicted in his heart, he originally knew that his prestige was not enough to control the situation, and it was very difficult to make King Fu "peaceful" to ascend to the throne, so he managed to obtain the support of Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao, coerced and lured, and promised the title of duke. In order to control the entire army in Nanjing, the ministers must have seen the situation clearly at that time and no longer resisted.

But I didn't expect that Lu Daqi and others were so stubborn and ignorant of current affairs, did they have to force me to go under the knife?

Although he could kill all these recalcitrant ministers with just one word, Ma Shiying hesitated and couldn't give an order.

It's easy to kill all the people, but is it still the court without the ministers? How can this be supported by local officials in the provinces? At that time, even if King Fu became the emperor, even with the support of tens of thousands of troops, I am afraid that sooner or later there would only be one way to defeat.

Just when Ma Shiying hesitated, a person suddenly stood up, and under a loud shout, the commotion of the ministers quieted down, even Lu Daqi closed his mouth, Ma Shiying looked fixedly, but the person who came out was the leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"What a noisy and noisy thing!" Qian Qianyi drank everyone.

"What Uncle Xin Cheng and Uncle Ruyi said is not unreasonable, the fall of Jingshi, the turmoil of society, and the destruction of life, although these cannot all be carried by His Majesty, but it is time for me to change."

Qian Qianyi sighed mournfully.

"Now that Daming is on the verge of life and death, we have to think about it. His Majesty has already lost half of the Ming Dynasty, if he becomes the emperor again, I am afraid that the remaining half will not be able to keep it! ”

"This ......" Seeing that Qian Qianyi actually agreed with Liu Kongzhao's words, the ministers in the palace immediately panicked.

Many people suddenly pondered, and some people wanted to refute, but Qian Qianyi was different from Liu Kongzhao and Zhao Zhilong, he was the leader of the Donglin Party and the spiritual leader of many people, and the method of scolding did not work at all. Refutation? The facts are already very clear, Chongzhen lost half of the Ming Dynasty, how to defend him?

"Mu Zhaigong," when everyone was speechless, Shi Kefa stood up and asked Qian Qianyi.

"As you said, Your Majesty has lost half of the country, and you can't continue to be the Son of Heaven. I want to ask, even if King Fu ascends the throne, is he stronger than Your Majesty? ”
