As soon as Cao Guang's words fell, more than a dozen ministers in the hall stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal!" "These are all agreed with Cao Guang.

Zhu Hongsan saw that so many people wanted to stand up and impeach Ma Mingyuan, and he trembled with anger.

What does Zhu Hongsan know that the eight major sins are bullshit, and these stinky old nine don't form a party for personal gain? That doesn't take bribes? They are now standing up, ostensibly against Ma Mingyuan, but in fact against their own new policy.

Zhu Hongsan suppressed his anger and asked, "Who else?" Stand up and say it together! ”

At this time, Zhou Yingzhi, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Cao Guang said is very right, and the minister also seconded it!" Please ask Your Majesty to kill the traitorous minister Ma Mingyuan! ”

Zhou Yingqi stood up, but Ma Mingyuan's heart jumped, he knew this Zhou Yingji. Zhou Yingzhi is a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, or the first place in the second class, and the list of that subject is the previous first assistant Chen Zizhuang. Now that Zhou Yingzhi has stood up, could it be that the Cantonese faction has begun to fight back?

Ma Mingyuan is worthy of being old in politics, and he is right. Although Chen Zizhuang was deposed, the Cantonese faction in the DPRK still had a lot of power, and although Ma Mingyuan had cleared out most of the Cantonese faction in the past year, there were still a lot left. In order to protect themselves, the Guangdong faction turned to the eastern Zhejiang faction. This Zhou Yingji was born in Yongjia County, Zhejiang, and intersected with Chen Zizhuang, so he naturally became the umbrella of these Cantonese factions (this is also a forbidden word, it's really convincing!). ）。 In addition, Ma Mingyuan wants to prepare for the implementation of the new policy, which will cost the old lives of those big landlords in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, so today I took this opportunity to first exert force by Cao Guang, and then all the officials from Nanzhili and Zhejiang stood up together to force the emperor to kill Ma Mingyuan.

But Ma Mingyuan is also an old fritter in the political arena, how can he not have the power to fight back? After the initial stunned, Ma Mingyuan's henchmen also began to fight back.

The first to stand up was Wang Qiyuan, a waiter of the Ministry of Finance, who was a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and Ma Jiyuan was the same year. In addition, Wang Qiyuan was born in Huanggang County, Huangzhou Prefecture, Huguang, and is Ma Mingyuan's descendant.

Wang Qiyuan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached the Imperial History of the Imperial Prefecture of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, and there was a lot of collusion with the Manchu Qing Dynasty when he was in his hometown in Zhejiang, and Zhou Boda, the governor of Jiangning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is the same year, please kill this thief!" ”

Zhou Yingzhi and Zhou Boda were in the same year, but Zhou Yingqi did not respond to Zhou Boda's call, but lived in seclusion at home, and now Wang Qiyuan said that he was unclear with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the angry Zhou Yingqi pointed at Wang Qiyuan's nose and scolded: "Shaft, what evidence do you have to say that?" ”

Wang Qiyuan sneered: "Then what evidence do you Zhejiang people have to say that Lord Shoufu?" ”

Seeing that the Zhedong faction and the Huguang faction were about to make a move, Zhu Hongsan stood up and shouted: "Okay, don't fucking say it!" ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he pointed to the cabinet that had not spoken, and asked, "Cabinet, what do you guys have to say?" ”

In addition to Ma Mingyuan, there are six people left in the cabinet, Wang Yunchang is Ma Mingyuan's hardcore, and Fu Wenlong is Ma Jiyuan's in-laws, so they naturally want to stand on Ma Mingyuan's side, and the two of them stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we think that Cao Guang is completely false, please Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

Although Jiang Yueguang is from Jiangxi, he is inextricably linked to the Donglin Party and the people of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and he has no choice but to speak for them, Jiang Yueguang had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the Zhou Yingji!" ”

Qian Qianyi is also a member of the Donglin Party, and he has been notified of the Donglin Party's reversal of horses before, and half of the people who stood up to impeach Ma Mingyuan just now are Qian Qianyi's student protégés. But Lao Qian didn't want to fight against Ma Mingyuan, he knew that the new deal was the emperor's will. But now his protégé has become a mortal enemy with Ma Mingyuan, and if Ma Mingyuan escapes this catastrophe, he will not be able to please him. Qian Qianyi knows that the wall-riding faction in officialdom has never ended well.

Qian Qianyi thought about it, he really couldn't betray his class, so he had to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the Zhou Ying Date!" ”

Zhu Dadian is a native of Zhejiang at all, although Ma Mingyuan has the grace to recommend him, but it is better not to get involved at this time. So Zhu Dadian also stood up and agreed with what Zhou Yingqi said.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Tong Yangjia and didn't speak, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Mr. Tong, what do you think?" ”

Tong Yangjia is now happy in his heart, he is the mastermind behind the scenes, and these officials in Nanzhili and Zhejiang are the ones he contacts, in order to solve Ma Mingyuan once and for all.

When Tong Yangjia saw the emperor asking himself, Tong Yangjia stood up unhurriedly, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, although Ma Mingyuan has followed Your Majesty for the longest time, Your Majesty has also rewarded him and his family. And His Majesty's expedition this time is imminent, coupled with the unclear war in Guangdong, it is the time when the DPRK and China need stability, and at this time, Ma Mingyuan will not be brought to justice, which really makes the ministers of the DPRK and China feel uneasy, so the minister also seconded the Zhou Ying Date, please kill Ma Mingyuan! ”

Everyone else didn't get to the point, only Tong Yangjia knew Zhu Hongsan deeply, and knew that this master was selfish and could give up anything for himself. It is a trivial matter to say that Ma Mingyuan formed a party for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery, and only by linking the stability of the imperial court with Ma Mingyuan can the emperor seriously think about Ma Mingyuan's life and death. If you don't kill Ma Mingyuan, the court is unstable, and only by killing Ma Mingyuan can the rear be stable, and the emperor can rest assured that you can drive the expedition in person.

As soon as Tong Yangjia's words came out, Ma Mingyuan's face immediately turned white, and he knew that his life and death were in the emperor's thoughts. Originally, Ma Mingyuan thought that as long as he had the emperor's trust, others would be safe and sound when they were against him. But thinking that Zhu Youlang in Guangxi could do it at such a critical moment, and all kinds of things came together, Ma Mingyuan found that he was really not far from death.

When Zhu Hongsan saw the ministers below, he was very embarrassed. It's not that he is reluctant to kill Ma Mingyuan, but if he kills Prince Ma Mingyuan, he will lose protection, and the prince without protection will definitely become the target of all sides, and the DPRK and China will definitely set off bigger waves at that time. And now that Zhu Hongsan is about to go on the expedition, stability is the first priority, and Zhu Hongsan must not let the rear be unstable. But if you don't punish Ma Mingyuan, the stinky old nine of eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhili, will make a lot of trouble, you must know that the 60,000 army of Hong Chengchou of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in Huai'an, which is not far from Yangzhou, and when the time comes, these stinky old nine will die and break, are they fleeing back to Guangdong?

Zhu Hongsan thought about it, and Ma Mingyuan had to be punished, and he had to give these stinky old nine an explanation, but Ma Mingyuan's first assistant in the future would not be easy to choose.

According to the cabinet order, it should be the second assistant Tong Yangjia in the upper position, but Tong Yangjia is not a good candidate. He has too close a relationship with the king of Chu, and the upper position must use all kinds of means to squeeze the prince, so that the rear is still unstable. However, if you change to someone else, the Huguang faction, which accounts for the majority of the court, will definitely not be convinced, and this first assistant can only be selected from his own Huguang lineage.

Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, "Mr. Ma, since so many people have impeached you, I have no choice, you can do it!" ”

As soon as Zhu Hongsan said this, Ma Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was just Zhishi, as long as there was one life left, according to the relationship between himself and the prince, he would definitely be able to make a comeback in the future.

Tong Yangjia heard that Zhu Hongsan just asked Ma Mingyuan to be a teacher, how can this work! Tong Yangjia was just about to speak, but Zhu Hongsan spoke first: "This matter is like this!" Mr. Ma has been following me for the longest time, there is no credit and hard work, I will not punish him for such a thing, this matter ends here, if there are any discussants in the future, don't blame me for being unsympathetic! ”

Zhou Yingqi and other Zhedong factions did not have a deep hatred with Ma Mingyuan, they were just dissatisfied with the new deal proposed by Ma Mingyuan, and now the fall of Ma Mingyuan means that the new deal is over, so they are not stubborn. Tong Yangjia wanted to kill Ma Mingyuan, but he was alone, so he had no choice but to agree with the emperor's wishes.

Ma Mingyuan took off his official hat, put his hands on the ground, and then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty!" Thank you, Your Majesty! There is one last thing to report before the minister leaves the cabinet! ”

Tong Yangjia heard that Ma Mingyuan still had something to say, the secret way is not good, what else can Ma Lao Er say now? It must be to embarrass Lao Tzu.

"Your Majesty, Ma Mingyuan is no longer the prime minister of the cabinet, he is not qualified to participate in this court meeting, please order General Dahan to drive Ma Mingyuan out!"

But Zhu Hongsan felt indebted to Ma Mingyuan in his heart, nodded and said, "Mr. Ma, please speak!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The minister resigned, the position of the first assistant was vacant, and the minister proposed that Ma Jiyuan, the governor of Liangjiang, take over as the minister! ”

As soon as Tong Yangjia heard that Ma Lao Er was out of the way, he wanted Ma Lao to continue to do it, so what should he do?

"Ma Mingyuan! Do you think the cabinet is your family? If you leave your job, let your eldest brother continue to do it? ”

After Tong Yangjia finished speaking, he glanced at his henchmen, Gong Dacheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that after Ma Ming leaves office, the first assistant should be taken over by the second assistant Tong Yangjia!" ”

Zhou Yingqi had just received Tong Yangjia's help, and the Zhedong faction and Tong Yangjia had formed an alliance, so he also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better for Tong Yangjia to take over the first assistant!" ”

Qian Qianyi and Tong Yangjia were originally allies, plus Lao Qian offended Ma Mingyuan just now, if the boss of the Ma family came to power this time, could he still have the benefits of Qian Qianyi? So Qian Qianyi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Ma Ji has been a feudal for a long time, and he has the ability, but he has not served in the cabinet for a day, and he is really not a suitable candidate for the first assistant, please think twice!" ”

Jiang Yueguang and Zhu Dadian also stood up to support Tong Yangjia as the new first assistant.

But Fu Wenlong and Wang Yunchang disagreed, Fu Wenlong needless to say, he was Ma Jiyuan's in-law and the same year, so he naturally hoped that Ma Jiyuan would come to power. And Wang Yunchang is Ma Mingyuan's descendant, Tong Yangjia didn't play him to death when he came to power? So he can only support Ma Jiyuan.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said, "Since everyone has different opinions, then let's push it!" ”

When Tong Yangjia heard that the emperor wanted to push the court, he couldn't help but turn pale, he knew that he had no hope of becoming the first assistant this time!
