"Mr. Ma, Shaanxi doesn't know when it will be recovered, it's a little early to let Tong Tuchang go to be a political envoy, let's pick another place!" Zhu Hongsan also wanted to say two fair words for Tong Tuchang.

How do you know that Ma Mingyuan said: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister!" Shaanxi must go to Tong Tuchang! Tong Tuchang had a good relationship with Li Chengdong, the king of Jianning County, when he was in Fujian, most of Li Chengdong's subordinates were from Shaanxi, and now Wang Yongqiang in northern Shaanxi, Shenmu's high talents are all old with Li Chengdong, so it is appropriate for Tong Tuchang to go! ”

Zhu Hongsan is thinking about the overall strategy, he doesn't care about Tong Tuchang's life or death, Zhu Hongsan is right after thinking about it, Shaanxi and Shanxi are now big sauce jars, and there are all kinds of forces, it is better to let Tong Tuchang go, it can be done best, and it is not that he is sending troops to suppress it. However, it is too small to let Tong Tuchang go desperately, and only give one political envoy.

Zhu Hongsan summed it up and said: "In this way, appoint Tong Tuchang as the governor of Shaanxi, go to Wuchang from now on, and follow the Western Route Army into Shaanxi!" ”

It was a foregone conclusion when the emperor spoke, and Tong Yangjia thought about it well, at least he was a governor, so he didn't say anything.

After the big things are arranged, the remaining third- and fourth-grade petty officials are digested by the bureaucrats themselves, and Zhu Hongsan does not want to or has the energy to manage the rise and fall of all third- and fourth-grade officials in the country. So this is the end of today's court meeting, and the ministers got up under the leadership of several cabinet elders to send the emperor back to the palace.

Everyone else went home, and Ma Mingyuan still had to go to see the emperor, if nothing else, he wanted to intercede for his eldest brother Ma Jiyuan.

Zhu Hongsan is now thirty-eight years old and in the prime of life, but Zhu Hongsan knows what his situation is. In the three years of the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou, it had a great impact on his health, and Yungui in the Ming Dynasty was not a major tourist province in later generations, and there was perfect infrastructure construction. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan also has the Zhu family's genetic diseases, namely hypertension and diabetes.

It is precisely because of physical reasons that Zhu Hongsan has been staying in Guizhou and has not gone to Yunnan, where the conditions are even worse. At the same time, when the Yunnan-Guizhou war was about to end, he hurried back to Nanjing.

The health of the ancient emperor was a national secret, so Zhu Hongsan's physical condition was unknown to everyone except for the few close people around him.

Zhu Hongsan returned to the Qianqing Palace, this day's court meeting made his face pale from exhaustion, and the little eunuch who had just sat down outside came in to report, and the first assistant Ma Mingyuan handed over a sign to ask to see.

Zhu Hongsan smiled bitterly, it seems that Ma Lao Er has come to intercede for his eldest brother.

Li Chengen, who was on the side, saw Zhu Hongsan's appearance and said in a low voice: "Emperor, you are not feeling well, it is better to disappear!" ”

"Humph! In Wuchang, it is estimated that the coma has been spread everywhere, if you don't see it, I don't know what else will come out! I'll hold on and let him in! ”

Ma Mingyuan was led into the Qianqing Palace by the little eunuch, and after sitting down, he didn't know how to speak, after all, on the surface, his eldest brother was squeezed down by himself, and now he turned around and pleaded for his eldest brother, and he really didn't know what to say.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Mingyuan's hesitant appearance, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, why is he asking to see him so late today!" ”

"Your Majesty, in the Northern Expedition in March next year, the minister has just taken over as the first assistant, how is Your Majesty's Northern Expedition army arranged?" Ma Mingyuan decided to find some other topics first.

"I have prepared four divisions in Wuchang, and it is estimated that now Liu Siyun has occupied Hanyang, and when the time comes, they will be partial divisions, take Xiangyang into Henan, and then enter Shaanxi through Tongguan, if the battle goes well, they will also occupy Hanzhong, and unite the two divisions of Zhou Yu in Sichuan to end the chaos in Sichuan. On the Jingshi side, I organized eight divisions and 50,000 cavalry, which were the main forces, and I personally took them through Shandong to Shuntianfu. ”

Ma Mingyuan came today to intercede with his eldest brother, so his mind was not on other matters at all, and he had no opinion after listening to the emperor, and he looked like he was submissive.

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Second brother is for the eldest brother's business today?" ”

Ma Mingyuan heard the emperor put it up first, and quickly stood up and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest brother of the minister has followed Your Majesty for more than ten years, what kind of person he is, Your Majesty naturally knows what kind of person he is, those disobedient words will never be said, someone must be framed behind!" ”

Is Ma Jiyuan falsely accused Zhu Hongsan knows clearly, Zhu Hongsan demoted Ma Jiyuan today not because he talked nonsense or had a connection with Xu Bengao, but because Ma Jiyuan couldn't get money for Zhu Hongsan, so what's the use of you? Of course, Ma Jiyuan was still a little afraid of the reason why he would talk nonsense, if this matter was put before Guangzhou was proclaimed emperor, Zhu Hongsan would definitely just laugh and not take it to heart at all. But now that Zhu Hongsan's identity has changed, the thoughts in his heart have naturally changed.

In the past, Zhu Hongsan asked these intellectuals, so even if he had grievances in his heart, he had to hold back. But now it's different, Zhu Hongsan has already occupied most of China, and he will unify the country in the near future, and now he naturally doesn't want his subjects to know about his previous bullshit. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan knew that Ma Jiyuan would not say those words and would hit him, so it was true to clean up Ma Jiyuan and warn his close people not to talk nonsense.

Zhu Hongsan thought about it and didn't say anything about Ma Jiyuan directly, but said: "Second brother, now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, shouldn't you prepare someone to compile the history of the former Ming Dynasty?" ”

When Ma Mingyuan heard this, it was all that! I talked about Ma Jiyuan just now, why did he jump to the history of cultivation now? Besides, there was an emperor in the former Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang, who was not caught, is it too anxious to write the history of the former dynasty now?

But who is Ma Mingyuan, he knows what the emperor means by a slight reaction. The emperor means that now Lao Tzu is the emperor, and he will be written into the history books in the future, you bastards go around talking about the absurdity of Lao Tzu when he was young, what face does Lao Tzu have to enter the history books?

After understanding the emperor's meaning, Ma Mingyuan hurriedly said: "As Your Majesty said, it is time to write the history of the previous dynasty, I don't know who Your Majesty wants to be the head of the company?" ”

Zhu Hongsan thought about it, the best candidate was Qian Qianyi, that old guy was a great historian in the late Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di's biological mother was verified by this old guy. But now that this old guy has resigned, I don't know what other good candidates there are?

"Second brother, do you have any good candidates?"

There are talents under Ma Mingyuan, but they are all administrative talents, and there are really no such pure intellectuals. However, it is not that there are no scholars who can study history in the DPRK and China, and there are a large number of them in the Donglin Party and the Zhedong faction. But the Donglin Party and the Zhedong faction and Ma Ming are far from being in trouble, so can they take this opportunity to be in the upper position?

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended Feng Ziyong to be in charge, and then Gao Wenbing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is in charge, what does Your Majesty think?" Ma Mingyuan knew that Feng Ziyong was coming back, so he was going to send Feng Ziyong to repair history, so that he couldn't hinder himself.

But Zhu Hongsan thought about it and shook his head, and said, "No, the second cousin is an administrative talent, and he can't do this kind of book compilation work!" ”

Zhu Hongsan thought about it and said: "That's it, I heard that Huang Zongxi is a university scholar, and now he is the prefect of Luzon, let him come back to cultivate history!" ”

Ma Mingyuan knew that Huang Zongxi, who used to be the prince's teacher, was later sent to Luzon because of his opposition to the emperor's princely policy, and has been there for four years now. Huang Zongxi has knowledge, but this guy is stubborn, let him major in the history of the former Ming Dynasty and still don't say anything?

"Your Majesty, Huang Zongxi has knowledge, but this person's grade is too low, let him cultivate history, I'm afraid that the court will not accept it!"

"Let Huang Zongxi be in charge of repairing history, and let the prince be in charge, that's it! Preach the message! Transfer Huang Zongxi to the bachelor of Hanlin, and hang the title of waiter in the Ministry of Rites! ”

Ma Mingyuan heard that the emperor had already decided, and he had nothing to say, anyway, the history books are written about your Zhu family, you can do what you like!

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he looked at Ma Mingyuan, and then said: "Second brother, go and see the eldest brother, and tell him that I am going to prepare to repair history!" "Zhu Hongsan's meaning is to let Ma Mingyuan go and tell Ma Jiyuan, don't talk fucking nonsense, don't think that you are Lao Tzu's brother-in-law, and cut off your head like Lao Tzu is unhappy.

Ma Mingyuan waited for the emperor's words, and after hearing this, he quickly got up and saluted, and then rushed to Jinyiwei's edict with the emperor's warrant.

Ma Mingyuan walked out of the gate of the palace It was late, he hurried to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and the commander Qian Lide had already left work, and it was Zhao Mengguan who was on duty today.

Zhao Mengguan saw that Ma Mingyuan was coming in person, so he hurriedly left the seat and went to the door to greet him.

"Lord Shousuke, why did you come to Jinyiwei so late? Whatever is enough, let someone pass on the word! ”

Where did Ma Jiyuan recognize Zhao Mengguan, and when he saw him wearing the same knowledge uniform, he knew that this was one of the two same knowledge of Jinyiwei.

"This lord, the emperor's hand, take me to the edict to see Ma Jiyuan!"

Zhao Mengguan looked at this Shoufu Lord pretending to be forced, and there was nothing he could do in his heart, he was the emperor's celebrity, and Zhao Mengguan was seventeen or eighteen levels worse from the third-grade military attaché and others.

"Okay, please wait a minute, the lower official will send someone to take Lord Shoufu to the edict prison in Beicheng!"

After Zhao Mengguan inspected the emperor's edict, he sent a thousand households to take Ma Mingyuan to the edict.

After entering the Imperial Prison, Ma Mingyuan was taken to the last cell, which was a single room, Ma Jiyuan was sitting on the grass bunk in a white shirt, looking up at the moonlight coming in from the large window of the bowl in a daze.

It's already October, and there is no stove in the edict for you to bake, Ma Mingyuan couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at his eldest brother Ma Jiyuan, who was shivering from the cold.

"Big brother, little brother has come to see you!"

Ma Jiyuan's body shook when he heard this voice, and he turned his head to see that it was Ma Mingyuan and scolded angrily: "Who are you?" Aren't you the second brother of the old man? The old man's parents have never given birth to a son like you! Get out of here! ”

Ma Jiyuan thought that Zhang Jiayu's impeachment that killed him came from Ma Mingyuan, so he didn't have a good face for this younger brother at all, and scolded him when he met.

"Big brother, big brother! Listen to me, Zhang Jiayu and they were not instructed by their younger brother at all! ”

Ma Jiyuan was even more furious when he heard Ma Mingyuan say this, didn't you instigate it? Who believes! How did you become the first assistant if you didn't instruct it? Could it be that Zhang Jiayu and their conscience found that they couldn't build a harmonious officialdom with you Ma Mingyuan?
