Text Chapter 845 Strike First

Ma Mingyuan reversed black and white here, as the old man Qu Shiyun secretly pouted, you Ma Lao Er can really blow it, obviously killed seven or eight out of ten Jiangsu gentry, but to say that the squire cooperated with the investigation, it is really a honey-bellied sword Ma Mingyuan!

Qu Shiyun scolded bitterly here, but Zhu Hongsan liked Ma Mingyuan to say this. What do those low-level officials and ordinary people know? Honestly sit down your own work, what do you want to do for the country and the people, is that what you can think? Now let me see how rich and powerful Lao Tzu's empire is, isn't it good to be a big country?

Zhu Hongsan came from later generations and knew very well how important propaganda was to the stability of a regime, so at the very beginning, Zhu Hongsan set the policy of reporting good news and not bad news to the court. It's simple, what do you people know? Isn't it good to live in the illusion that the country is strong and the world is peaceful? Even if you know that the country is in ruins and in danger, what can you do? It is up to us elites to govern the country. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan stipulated that all the newspapers of the two monthly court meetings should be written in the Di Bao and then published all over the world, so that every literate person can experience the great glory of the country.

Ma Mingyuan, as the first assistant, was naturally the first to blow, after Ma Mingyuan finished speaking, it was Tong Yangjia's turn, Tong Yangjia was in charge of the military, and naturally magnified the military victory countless times, what fought in the southwest and Burma and how many counties were occupied, Nanyang and the Dutch won several naval battles, Zheng Chenggong on the coast of Fujian has been subdued by His Majesty, and is preparing to surrender unconditionally, etc.

Then there is Wang Yunchang, who is in charge of finance and taxation, and naturally boasts about how good the country's finances are, how high the country's welfare to the people is, and the people all over the world are grateful for His Majesty's kindness. The next one is Fu Wenlong, Lao Fu is in charge of punishment, naturally it is said that the number of death row prisoners in the whole world is decreasing day by day, and it will soon reach the level that there are no death row prisoners in the whole world in the rule of Zhenguan, this is all the credit of the emperor, and now it is not far from the great rule of the world.

The next one is Feng Ziyong, who is in charge of officials, Lao Feng stood up and said that more than 100,000 officials in the world are diligent and diligent to serve His Majesty, and at the same time, because of the substantial increase in income, now officials can live well without corruption, and there will never be a situation where corrupt officials and corrupt officials are everywhere in the previous Ming Dynasty. Next is Li Zhi, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and naturally he also boasted that a few warships were launched this month, and the industrial and commercial situation in the country is not a small good, but a great good.

The last was Qu Shiyun, who was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Rites, and was in charge of matters such as diplomacy and education. Qu Shiyun didn't want to brag for the emperor so shamelessly, but what do you want to do if you don't brag? Not in line with the emperor? Do you still want to be this old man? There is no way, Qu Shiyun can only stand up with a clear conscience and boast, why all the vassal states in the world are subservient to His Majesty the Emperor, and the national education situation is very good, etc.

Fang Fengnian stood in the Shangshu team and listened to the flattery of the seven elders, and felt disgusted in his heart. As a high-ranking official, Fang Fengnian naturally knows what the country is like now. The New Deal was completely forcibly promoted by state violence in Jiangnan, and the gentry in many places were forced to go bankrupt. Militarily, there were some victories, but they were not as big as Tong Yangjia said, at least Fang Fengnian knew that just last month, Wang Jinbao of Nanyang suffered a loss and suffered heavy losses off the coast of Batavia.

As for the punishment and the rule of officials, it is even more nonsense, there are hundreds of millions of people in the world, so there is not a single condemned prisoner? Officials have a lot of power, so can they be as innocent as Hai Rui? But Fang Fengnian knew that there was no way, the whole country was like this, what could he do?

In Fang Fengnian's view, the country is sick, and the cause is very simple, that is, the monarchy has lost control, and he can do whatever he wants, and Ma Mingyuan, as the representative of the relative power, did not play a role in restricting the monarchy, but went perversely and echoed the emperor, so today Fang Fengnian is ready to make a big move to drag the country that deviates from the right track back to the right path.

Of course, Zhu Hongsan, as the emperor, knows what these ministers are talking about, but this is also what Zhu Hongsan acquiesces in, after all, it is better not to let ordinary people know too much about the difficulties of the country, which makes the people angry but not beautiful. Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied when he saw that those low-level officials were in good spirits when they heard that the country was so rich and strong.

After the elder finished speaking, the ceremonial officer of Honglu Temple shouted loudly: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat!" ”

According to the normal procedure, it is time for all officials to say together: "The minister has no capital!" Then the emperor announced his retirement from the dynasty, and then the hundred officials returned to their yamen to start working, and the old man entered the Qianqing Palace to prepare for the Wu Dynasty, which is the place where the major national affairs are really decided.

Zhu Hongsan originally thought that today, as usual, hundreds of officials bowed down and retreated, but as soon as the ceremonial officer finished speaking, someone stood up and said: "Minister, there is a book!" ”

As soon as Zhu Hongsan saw that this person stood up and came out, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation, Fang Fengnian, I don't know what happened to him? Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to nod, and the little eunuch beside him shouted: "Near!" ”

Fang Fengnian bowed down to the steps after leaving class, which was only more than ten meters away from Zhu Hongsan, and he could already hear the emperor's words.

Zhu Hongsan endured the pain in his leg and asked, "Fang Shangshu, what's the matter with you?" ”

Fang Fengnian said loudly: "The minister impeached Ma Mingyuan!" ”

Fang Fengnian was stunned as soon as this remark came out, this Fang Fengnian is the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation, and the Ministry of Taxation comes from the previous Ministry of Households, all of which are managed by Ma Mingyuan. Fang Fengnian can become a scholar and naturally has a good relationship with Ma Mingyuan, and Fang Fengnian was still a scholar and politician in Huguang back then, and he has been friends with the Ma family for generations, which is a typical Chu party, and now he stands up against his boss, which is really unexpected.

Fang Fengnian didn't care about anything else, stood in front of the steps and read out his own recital. Fang Fengnian listed Ma Mingyuan's eight major crimes: First, to expel Ma Jiyuan, the means are insidious, is he still worthy of being the first assistant for his closest relatives? the second is to violate the ancestral system and change the national law that scholars do not pay taxes without authorization; the third is to appoint Pan Tongchun, Liu Danian, Ding Xin and other cronies to control the government; Fourth, Weifu is for his own use, and there is no court in his eyes, and the courtiers are more afraid of Ma Mingyuan than His Majesty; fifth, he used the emperor's trust in him to hold the various books hostage; Sixth, it destroys speech officials, blocks the way of speech, and hates the upright; Seventh, he tried to find a hometown for his children, built a mansion in Wuchang, and accepted bribes from civil and military ministers; The eighth is to use power for personal gain, and occupy the land of the Taishang Emperor's mausoleum in Huguang's hometown.

Fang Feng's seven articles were basically useless, and the first one to drive out Ma Jiyuan was simply untenable, and it was the Guangdong Party that first fired at Ma Jiyuan at that time. The second violation of the ancestral system is also wrong, the new policy was secretly implemented by the emperor, and Ma Mingyuan is just an executor, but Fang Fengnian knew that the emperor was the mastermind, but he didn't dare to say it. Article 3 appoint cronies, but when these ministers have no cronies? Don't you have a new year? The fourth entry has no imperial court, Ma Mingyuan is the first assistant, and he represents the imperial court. Article 5 is even more ridiculous to hold the six ministries, Ma Mingyuan is the first assistant, how can the various ministries work if they are disobedient? Article 6 Hate the upright, who is the upright? You're in the New Year, aren't you? Article 7 Exploiting one's power for one's own benefit, isn't that the official in the world like this?

If the above seven are all Fang Fengnian's chicken feathers to make up a duster, in order to get Ma Mingyuan to make it hard, this eighth article is the real killer who Fang Fengnian wants to kill Ma Mingyuan.

The emperor was born in Wuchang, Huguang, and the emperor's son is naturally also a native of Wuchang, Huguang, and the emperor personally ordered to overhaul the mausoleum for his cheap Lao Tzu and Lao Niang a few years ago. And Ma Mingyuan is also a native of Wuchang, and when he encroaches on land in his hometown, he will inevitably have more or less conflicts with the mausoleum of the emperor.

Ma Mingyuan saw Fang Fengnian stand up and impeach himself, he was full of anger at first, the same year that his eldest brother confessed that he took care of him when he left, he also took Fang Fengnian in, and also gave him such an important position as the secretary of the tax department, and now Fang Fengnian couldn't help but be grateful, but stood up against him, so Ma Mingyuan was very angry.

When he heard Fang Fengnian recite the chapter, Ma Mingyuan turned from anger to disdain, but he didn't expect that this Fang Fengnian would only have these two brushes, and he wanted to rectify himself for these few crimes? Ma Mingyuan thought about the words to refute Fang Fengnian for a while, a crime of resisting the New Deal and waving the flag for those dead landlords can make Fang Fengnian doomed.

But when Ma Mingyuan heard Fang Fengnian's last one, he was stupid, he didn't expect Fang Fengnian's methods to be so ruthless, this was no longer to bring down himself, but to kill himself. Encroaching on the imperial tomb is a big crime, no matter which dynasty or generation, it is a crime of losing the head. The most important thing is that Ma Mingyuan is away all the year round, and these things in his hometown are all done by the Ma family, even Ma Mingyuan himself doesn't know whether he has invaded the imperial tomb or not, and if he occupies how much land he occupies.

Ma Mingyuan heard Fang Fengnian say this, and hurriedly went out to defend himself: "Your Majesty, this Fang Fengnian is untrustworthy, it should be a few days ago that the Japanese officials reprimanded him a few words because of the unfavorable matter of the spring levy, but I didn't expect Fang Fengnian to hold a grudge in his heart and want to take revenge on himself, please Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

As soon as Ma Mingyuan's words fell, Yang Zhongji, the left of the Imperial Palace, came out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers play!" Half a month ago, Ma Mingyuan's only son, Ma Shaojun, somehow galloped wildly on the street outside Zhengyangmen, and trampled on the royal road many times. ”

As soon as Yang Zhongji's voice fell, some officials stood up to impeach Ma Mingyuan, saying everything, what Ma Mingyuan's evil slaves were domineering, and how many acres of land were forcibly occupied outside the city. There is also a saying that Ma Mingyuan does not love himself and lives in Willow Lane, Flower Street all year round. It is also said that there is a strange light in Ma Mingyuan's house in the middle of the night, what is Ma Mingyuan doing? Is it secretly cursing the emperor? There is also a minister's reason for impeachment that is even more ridiculous, according to physiognomy, Ma Mingyuan is simply a lone star, a brother of Ke Daddy and Niang, and a colleague of Ke Niang, anyway, no one who is close to Ma Mingyuan is good.
