The voice of Ma Mingyuan's impeachment of Chen Zizhuang echoed in the hall, and there were fifty or sixty people in the entire hall, but now there is silence, everyone knows that now is a critical moment, and if they don't get it right, the Guangdong faction will be completely squeezed out of the core of power.

Chen Zizhuang listened to Ma Mingyuan's impeachment of himself, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, complaining that he was soft-hearted. When Ma Mingyuan was involved in the imperial examination case, he should have fallen into the ground, if Ma Mingyuan was completely killed at that time, how could he be so passive now.

But there is no way to regret it, now Ma Mingyuan has proposed impeachment, and according to the Ming regulations, if the cabinet scholars are involved, they will stop all their duties and go home to wait for processing.

Chen Zizhuang took off the black gauze official hat on his head with both hands and gently placed it on the ground, waiting for Zhu Hongsan's decision.

Ma Mingyuan was so happy to see Chen Zizhuang in his heart, and finally seized the opportunity to bring down Chen Zizhuang, and now wait for the emperor's decision, and then Chen Zizhuang will go home and rise from the first vice prime minister to the prime minister.

Ma Mingyuan's analysis is very reasonable, now that two of the Guangdong faction have fallen, there is only one Liu Dalin who can't hold it up at all. And the emperor wants to implement the new banking law, it is precisely when he needs himself, and he is very likely to sit in a chair with a backrest.

Just when Ma Mingyuan was dreaming, a person in the cabinet spoke, and this person was Feng Ziyong, whom Ma Mingyuan would never want.

Feng Ziyong used this person, Zhu Hongsan commented on him back then, if this person is a local official, he can do everything well. Facts have also proved this, whether it is the Dongguan County Commander or the Guangzhou Prefect, Feng Ziyong has completed the task very well, and the Dongguan Industrial Zone and the Guangzhou Development Zone have been successful. But Feng Ziyong has a big flaw in his character, that is, there is a clear distinction between good and evil.

Of course, this kind of character is good if it is applied to an ordinary person, but it is not good if it is put on a prime minister. The one who can get into the cabinet is not an old fritter who has been tempered a lot, not to mention a bunch of shit under the buttocks, but there is no clean one. Feng Ruoshu, an old bureaucrat at that time, knew his son very well, but the Feng family was sparse and talented, so in order to ensure the wealth of the Feng family after his death, he had to let Feng use the ducks on the shelves.

However, Feng Ruoshu also left a political legacy for his son, that is, the emperor's trust and Chen Zizhuang's gratitude. If you talk about political wisdom alone, Old Man Feng is definitely a hundred times stronger than his son, and after he retired after his success, he recommended Chen Zizhuang to be the first assistant, which not only made friends with Chen Zizhuang, but also made the emperor feel his efforts to stabilize the emperor's position. Coupled with the last words left by Old Man Feng to his son before he died, that is, "no group, no party", only a lonely minister. Old man Feng felt that his own arrangements, coupled with Feng's self-use ability, should be able to protect himself, so he died with peace of mind after speaking.

If you have a little political wisdom, you will find that Feng Ziyong is in a wonderful position in the cabinet, that is, he talks to both sides, has a friendship with the Guangdong faction, and is still a member of the Huguang faction. Therefore, Feng Ziyong should act as a-stirring stick in the court, that is, everything has been dominated by the emperor, be the emperor's dog, and the emperor will bite whoever the emperor asks him to bite.

But the brainless Feng felt good about himself, and he had to preside over justice in the court. The last time Feng Ziyong opposed the bank, Emperor Zhu Hongsan was dissatisfied, didn't Zhu Hongsan know the disadvantages of setting up a bank? But now that the Northern Expedition is about to dry up, the bank's affairs must be implemented, but Feng Ziyong sang the opposite tune with Ma Mingyuan at the critical moment and voted against. Zhu Hongsan saw that Feng Zi's use of this-stirring stick was ineffective, so he decided to release Qian Qianyi, a mad dog.

And today, Feng Ziyong saw that Huang Yingxiu was framed by Qian Qianyi, and Ma Mingyuan was even more downcast to Chen Zizhuang. Feng Zi's heart was full of a sense of justice, how could there be turmoil in the court when the country was in crisis? Therefore, Feng Ziyong felt that for the sake of the emperor, for the country, and for Chen Zizhuang's care and trust in him, he decided to stand up and intercede for Chen Zizhuang.

After thinking about it, Feng Ziyong stood up from the embroidery pier and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Ma's impeachment of Lord Chen is a bit exaggerated, how can Lord Chen know about the affairs of Lord Huang's family?" Therefore, the minister thought that this crime of negligence was uncountable! ”

Feng Ziyong was talking eloquently here, he didn't know that what he said just now was completely opposite to Ma Mingyuan. If it can be said that Feng Ziyong considered the problem from the perspective of the country last time, speaking for Chen Zizhuang now completely offended Ma Mingyuan.

Seeing Feng Ziyong standing up for Chen Zizhuang, the happiest person in the hall was Tong Yangjia. In the past, in the Huguang faction, Erma and Feng Ziyong joined forces to bully him, if it weren't for the emperor's protection, Tong Yangjia would have been eaten a long time ago, and now seeing that Feng Ziyong and Ma Mingyuan are completely opposed, how can Tong Yangjia be happy?

Zhu Hongsan was also surprised, but with his political wisdom, he quickly understood what was going on. Zhu Hongsan looked at Feng Zi, who stood up, and smiled bitterly in his heart: My second cousin, you are really presiding over justice, but in this way, you have become the target of public criticism.

In fact, Zhu Hongsan is not prepared to embarrass Chen Zizhuang without Feng's own use, and now that he is about to take the imperial conquest, he can change the first assistant at this critical moment, which will make the rear unstable. In addition, what Ma Mingyuan said is indeed a bit far-fetched, and it cannot shake Chen Zizhuang's status in Zhu Hongsan's heart. However, Feng Ziyong stood up just right, and Zhu Hongsan felt that he could take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and gently spare Chen Zizhuang.

Zhu Hongsan pretended to groan for a while, and said, "Master Feng is polite, Mr. Chen, get up, I still need you to be the first assistant!" As for Huang Yingxiu, I was indeed a little angry just now, so let's do it, Huang Yingxiu has no way to teach his son, but remember his merits in the past few years, go home to retire, but his sons I can't spare it, the eldest son is matched with his father in the Lu Song Dynasty, and the other concubines are assigned to Qiongzhou, Lord Chen, you think this is good! ”

Chen Zizhuang saw that Huang Yingxiu's life was saved, this was the best ending, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "There is no objection to the minister!" ”

Huang Yingxiu, who was kneeling on the ground, also breathed a sigh of relief, his family's life was finally saved, as for the distribution of several sons, it is not a problem at all, can the son of the former prime minister suffer?

Huang Yingxiu also hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The guilty minister receives the guilt!" ”

Zhu Hongsan watched Jin Yiwei take Huang Yingxiu, who had taken off his official uniform, out, now that there is a shortage of seats in the cabinet, one should be co-opted.

"Now that the cabinet is missing a person, everyone has any good candidates, let's talk about it!"

As soon as Zhu Hongsan said this, all the ministers whispered, this is a good opportunity, although the cabinet struggle is fierce, but that position is not the highest ideal of all scholars!

But this kind of opportunity is only given to those who are prepared, and Qian Qianyi has been planning for this position half a year ago, which can allow others to take the lead. However, Qian Qianyi can't do such a shameless thing as self-promotion, and now he needs his political allies to come forward to speak.

Ma Mingyuan had already promised Qian Qianyi at that time to find a way to get him into the cabinet after overthrowing Chen Zizhuang, although Chen Zizhuang was not abolished because of Feng's own use, but this is his own business, and Qian Qianyi can work very hard. Ma Mingyuan thought about it and decided to follow the covenant, after all, it was too much to offend Qian Qianyi.

So Ma Mingyuan stood up as soon as Zhu Hongsan's words fell: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends Lord Qian to enter the cabinet!" Lord Qian has contributed a lot to Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan's affairs anyway, and Lord Qian's prestige and ability are the best choice, so the minister thinks that Lord Qian is the best candidate to enter the cabinet! ”

At this time, Guangdong sent another cabinet premier, Liu Dalin, to stand up, and now Guangdong sent one home and the other has just been impeached, and only Liu Dalin can say a few words to express his opposition.

"Your Majesty, although Lord Qian has contributed to the court, but the minister thinks that Lord Qian lacks character, and when the city of Nanjing was broken, Lord Qian actually came out of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I don't think such a minister can enter the cabinet!"

Liu Dalin spoke directly enough, and directly said Qian Qianyi's stain, which is more powerful than pointing at his nose and scolding his mother.

Qian Qianyi was so angry that he couldn't open a pot, Qian Qianyi had no choice but to look at Ma Mingyuan, hoping that this ally could help say a few words.

But Ma Mingyuan's eyes lowered and he didn't say a word at all. Ma Mingyuan thought in his heart: What I should have done has already been done, your own shit is your own business, whether you can enter the cabinet or not depends on yourself.

Qian Qianyi saw that Ma Mingyuan didn't stretch out his hand to help, and he couldn't defend himself, just like an ant on a hot pot, one of the ministers spoke for him, and this person was Tong Yangjia.

Tong Yangjia has been watching this big drama just now, and it is very lively, Chen Zizhuang and Ma Mingyuan are very happy, Tong Yangjia is very happy, these two are his enemies, and he can't wait for both of them to fall.

Tong Yangjia originally thought that Qian Qianyi's entry into the cabinet was a foregone conclusion, but he didn't expect that the Guangdong faction, which had already torn his face, showed no mercy and brought up all the bad things about Qian Qianyi Shiqing. Next, seeing that Ma Mingyuan didn't help, Tong Yangjia felt that the opportunity had come, at this time, if he helped Qian Qianyi, he would owe him a big favor, you must know that what the officialdom is most afraid of is owing favors, and some favors need you to repay with your life.

Tong Yangjia made up his mind and stood up, arching his hand and saying: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is a troubled time, and he is trying to be eclectic in employing people. At the time of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao said the words of meritocracy in order to recruit talents, is it not as good as Cao Cao with His Majesty's eloquence? ”

Zhu Hongsan originally wanted to promote Qian Qianyi to the cabinet, but he didn't expect that Lao Qian's character was really poor, and no one spoke at the critical moment, seeing that Tong Yangjia could find a step for Zhu Hongsan at this time, so Zhu Hongsan was very happy.

"Yes, Mr. Tong is right, am I not as good as that white-faced traitor? Qian Aiqing, since this is the case, you can join the cabinet, and you will be responsible for Huang Yingxiu's stall, and the Organization Department and the Personnel Department will ask Qian Aiqing! ”

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and the matter of entering the cabinet was finally settled.
