Zhu Hongsan saw that Ma Mingyuan had something to say, and said softly: "What does the second brother have to say?" ”

Ma Mingyuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now that the country's finances are being dragged down by the military, and the people are withering day by day, for the great cause of the family and the country, and in order to better concentrate on the Northern Expedition, please suspend the war against the Manchus, and please negotiate peace with the Manchus!" ”

As soon as Ma Mingyuan said the word peace, the entire Wenhua Hall immediately exploded. Those who can enter Zhu Hongsan's central organ are all people who have a deep blood feud with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and those who are in the same stream as the Manchu Qing are now in the Imperial Prison! These people heard that Ma Mingyuan wanted to make peace with his life and death enemy, how could this work! (Here to explain to you the unspoken rules of officialdom, you may feel that Zhu Hongsan, as the emperor, can talk about peace if he wants to, why does he have to bring it up with his subordinates before passing?) This is the operating rule in officialdom, a good political environment is flexible, that is, it can move forward in a curve from left to right, and bounce back when it hits a wall, so as to ensure that no big mistakes are made. But if the first leader of the unit loses this flexibility after the resolution is put forward first, such a policy is easy to go on regardless of right or wrong, Chongzhen also made such a mistake back then, and after losing political flexibility, he can only go to the dark one way, and no one shares the responsibility for Chongzhen, so the Ming Dynasty is dead! If you understand this, you will also understand what democratic centralism is, democracy is centralized first, and this is the great wisdom of officialdom! ）

The ministers in the Wenhua Palace reacted most strongly to the Zhedong faction, after all, they fought the hardest with the Manchus, almost everyone had relatives and friends who died under the butcher's knife of the Manchus, and after listening to Ma Mingyuan's words, some officials simply rushed up and prepared to kill this traitor in the world! Some officials scolded Ma Mingyuan in the back, scolding him for being Qin Hui's second.

Zhu Hongsan saw that the situation was a little out of control, and hurriedly asked the little eunuch to go out and summon the Han general in. As soon as the gate of the Wenhua Hall opened, hundreds of Han generals wearing Mingguang armor walked into the hall and divided all the officials into ten groups, so as to prevent anyone from stepping forward and beating Ma Mingyuan.

Zhu Hongsan saw that the situation was under control, and then asked, "What do you think of Mr. Ma's proposal?" ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were scolded again, Tong Yangjia was very strange on the side, Ma Mingyuan used to cherish feathers very much, why did he propose such a resolution that offended the anger of the public today. Tong Yangjia feels that the situation is unclear, so it's better not to express his position lightly, and let's see. It was precisely because Tong Yangjia didn't speak, and some of his subordinates didn't speak. The other cabinet elders couldn't figure out what Ma Mingyuan thought, and they were ready to take a look.

Zhu Hongsan glanced at the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party who scolded Ma Mingyuan, and one of the six cabinet elders did not express his position, how can this be done. Zhu Hongsan didn't care about anything else, and asked directly: "Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Zhu Hongsan meant to ask Shoufu directly, force Chen Zizhuang to agree, and then end today's farce-like court meeting!

Who knew that Chen Zizhuang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister must not agree to the peace talks resolution that Master Ma said!" ”

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect Chen Zizhuang to oppose himself in public, just now Chen Zizhuang asked him to hand over the factory, although Zhu Hongsan was angry, he didn't take it to heart, he knew that these stinky old nine were so urinating, and they had to pretend to be saints for the country and the people. However, Chen Zizhuang still opposes himself even though he knows what he wants, which is not the whimsy of the literati, but a political conflict with himself.

Zhu Hongsan was very dissatisfied when he saw that Chen Zizhuang was opposing him in public for the sake of his reputation, disregarding the safety of the country and himself. Zhu Hongsan flicked the armrest of the chair with his hand and asked, "Lord Chen, why are you opposed to peace talks with the Manchus?" ”

Chen Zizhuang knew that he was going to be unlucky today, and he was also resigned at the very least, but if he didn't say anything today, he would be recorded in the history books, which was really not something Chen Zizhuang could bear. Now Chen Zizhuang doesn't care whether the emperor is angry or not, he stands up and makes a generous statement, quoting scriptures to refute how untenable Ma Mingyuan's policy of peace talks with the Manchus is.

Ma Mingyuan, who was on the side, was overjoyed when he saw Chen Zizhuang say this, and felt that his opportunity had come. It was not enough for Chen Zizhuang to force the emperor to hand over the factory charges just now, but now it is different, this is already in opposition to the emperor, if he grasps the position of the first assistant, it must be his own!

Thinking of this, Ma Mingyuan came up with a killer plan, a poison plan that had been prepared for many years. Ma Mingyuan glanced at a young official next to him, nodded at him, and signaled that he could act.

The young official saw Ma Mingyuan's eyes and knew that his task was coming, but he couldn't help it, his pigtails were held in Ma Mingyuan's hands, and it was not okay to disobey!

At this time, as soon as Chen Zizhuang finished speaking, Zhu Hongsan asked again: "Who else wants to express their opinions!" Speak up! ”

The young official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at the official who didn't recognize it, and asked, "Report the name and say!" ”

The young official bowed down and said: "The minister is Lin Fengchun, the director of the Ministry of Personnel's examination of the Qing Officials Department, and the minister impeached Chen Zizhuang, the first assistant, for secretly communicating with King Gui's puppet cabinet university Shi Lu Daqi for plotting against him!" ”

Tips: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes when reading for a long time. Recommended reading:

bsp; In order to divide the power of officials, Zhu Hongsan divided the officials department into two, separating the right to appoint officials from the right to evaluate, and the original four divisions of the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Wen Xuan, the Department of Inspecting and Sealing Officials, and the Department of Examining and Honoring Officials were assigned to the Ministry of Personnel. And this meritorious examination and clearing department is in charge of the merit promotion of officials across the country, and it is the department that farts the crotch of the oil. The Ministry of Officials was originally controlled by the Guangdong faction, and Huang Yingxiu, the original Shangshu, was replaced by another Cantonese Liu Dalin after his resignation, and the head of this important department was naturally his own people.

The fact is also like this, Lin Fengchun is a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, and Chen Zizhuang is a township party, and they are the descendants of the lineage, and now Lin Fengchun has come out to testify that Chen Zizhuang has dealings with King Gui, which really shocked the eyes of everyone in the Guangdong faction.

In fact, if you check Lin Fengchun's resume, you will know that in addition to being a native of Guangdong, he is also a Jinshi of Chongzhen for ten years, and Chongzhen has produced a great man in the past ten years, that is, Ma Mingyuan, the current deputy assistant of the cabinet.

After Ma Mingyuan arrived in Guangdong, he immediately began to form gangs, and Lin Fengchun, who was a classmate, was naturally the target of Ma Mingyuan's wooing. After Chen Zizhuang became the first assistant, Lin Fengchun was trusted and became a frequent visitor to Chen Zizhuang's mansion without notification.

And after Lin Fengchun saw Lu Daqi's letter to Chen Zizhuang in Chen Zizhuang's study, he leaked the news to Ma Mingyuan, and Ma Mingyuan immediately regarded this news as a killer weapon and wanted to use it at the most critical moment.

Today, Ma Mingyuan saw that Chen Zizhuang's opinion was different from that of the emperor, and he knew that the time had come, so he released Lin Fengchun's killer feature.

Zhu Hongsan was stunned when he heard Lin Fengchun say this, why did he still implicate Zhu Youlang in Guangxi?

"Lin Fengchun, do you know what the crime of framing Shoufu is, do you dare to make a military order?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a military order, if the letter is not found in Chen Zizhuang's house, the minister is willing to take all the responsibility!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "You said that the letter with Lu Daqi was hidden there?" ”

"On the second floor of Chen Zizhuang's study, in the sixth volume of the Analects on the left!"

Chen Zizhuang heard Lin Fengchun's location clearly, and he couldn't help but feel like ashes.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Chen Zizhuang and ordered Li Chengen to take the fan of Dongchang to Chen Zizhuang's house to get the letter.

The entire hall has now forgotten about Ma Jiyuan's peace talks, and they all paid attention to Chen Zizhuang's letter, and they all wanted to know what it said?

Li Chengen quickly took the letter with the fan of Dongchang, and Li Chengen held it high and handed it to Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan took it and took a look, it was a very ordinary envelope, and the seal had been opened, proving that Chen Zizhuang had seen it. On the cover it is written "Jisheng My Brother Initiates the Initiative", and below it is written "Suining Xianzi", and the last year, month and day are written in the first year of Yongli, which is the year before Zhu Hongsan became emperor.

Although Zhu Hongsan knew the words, his level was basically semi-literate in the late Ming Dynasty, and he knew that it was Chen Zizhuang's words, but what does this Suining Xianzi mean? But don't be afraid, there are people who go to college in the court.

Zhu Hongsan asked, "What does Suining Xianzi mean?" ”

Ma Mingyuan replied: "Your Majesty, Lu Daqi was born in Suining, Sichuan, and at the same time, he is called the first, so Suining is the self-title of Lu Daqi!" ”

Zhu Hongsan took it out and looked at the letter, and he recognized every word, but he didn't recognize it when he put it together, and it was all written in classical Chinese. Zhu Hongsan handed the letter to Li Chengen and said, "Read! ”

Li Chengen agreed, and began to read aloud the letter written by Lu Daqi to Chen Zizhuang in the court.

Although Zhu Hongsan doesn't recognize the traditional Chinese characters, he still has the foundation of ancient Chinese, at least he still knows the approximate meaning, so when Li Chengen reads it, he can understand nine times out of ten.

The first half of the letter is nothing, just reminiscing about the good times with Chen Zizhuang in Nanjing. Chen Zizhuang's father and son were framed by Wei Zhongxian that year, and were dismissed on the same day and reduced to the people. When he returned to Guangdong through Nanjing, he made friends with Lu Daqi, Qian Qianyi, Qu Shiyun, Gong Dingyu, etc. In the second half, Lu Daqi changed his words and began to scold Zhu Hongsan, saying that Zhu Hongsan was born in the market, his identity was dirty, and Zhu Hongsan's father died early, and his mother Zhao Chunhua was the daughter of Xu Officials, and Zhu Hongsan was a posthumous son. At the same time, he also suspected in the letter that Zhu Hongsan was not the blood of the Zhu family at all, but that Zhu Hongsan's mother Zhao Chunhua was born from an affair with someone.

Although Zhu Hongsan has no respect for his father who has never met, he has great respect for his mother Zhao Chunhua, who raised him as an adult, and now he hears Lu Daqi write about his mother in the letter so unbearable, how can he bear it.

The more Zhu Hongsan listened, the darker his face became, and finally stood up and kicked over the bookcase in front of him, snatched the letter in Li Chengen's hand and smashed it to death, so he was still angry, kicked Li Chengen over, grabbed a chair and beat Li Chengen hard, and scolded while beating: "You eunuch, you dare to read it, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you!" ”
