Chapter 1 Resignation Chance Encounter I
Example sentence: Once for the rejuvenation of the country, loyal to the rejuvenation of the country, one life for the rejuvenation of the country, loyal to the world for a lifetime. - Xingguo Xing, Ma Jiguang.
Six years later.
Emperor Sheng Long Ze died at the age of forty-two, reigning for twenty years, including eleven years, and was in charge of national policy, military and economic power by Empress Qi.
In these eleven years, he was in pain and thought about it every day, regretted his mistakes, and finally became depressed, depressed and unhappy, and became seriously ill and died.
……
Three days later, the eleven-year-old crown prince King Ming ascended the throne, and Yu Xiao and Yu Xiangguo canonized Xingguoxing.
Long live my emperor, long live, long live!
On the top of the main hall, the crown prince Ming Wang went to court for the first time as the emperor, sitting on the dragon chair, he listened to the hundred officials shouting the words of the emperor, but he did not feel any joy.
And the ministers in the audience, as if nothing had happened, did not have any words or comments on the death of the first emperor, as if everything was deserved by the first emperor.
The little emperor, who is sitting on pins and needles, knows that he has become the emperor, but he does not dare to speak to the kneeling of hundreds of officials.
The little emperor's eyes finally looked at Yu Xingguo, who had just been canonized, and he waited, it should be said that he was full of fear and panic waiting for Yu Xingguo's instructions.
Yu Xiao, who was sitting in the lower right, deliberately closed his eyes and leaned back against the tiger chair behind him, pretending to snore and fell asleep.
The ministers kneeling in the audience, none of them dared to speak, nor did they dare to raise their heads, almost everyone understood that Yu Xingguo was demonstrating, and he was using his actions to tell those ministers and emperors that in front of him, it was nothing, and the real master and the real king in the future was this snoring, sleepy Yu Xingguo.
The hundred officials have been kneeling like this, they are not waiting for the emperor's exemption, but waiting for when Yu Xingguo will be able to wake up.
Slowly the time of a stick of incense passed, and it was still like this. Many of the ministers were in terrible pain in both knees, and there was no sound yet.
Those hundred officials seem to understand a little, as the saying goes, the new official takes office with three fires, and if anyone speaks out at this moment, or can't hold on, he will definitely not be able to get a good fruit to eat, so it is better to be obscure.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard a cry of sorrow, and everyone woke up one after another, thinking who was so bold.
The crying became louder and louder until it covered out Yu Xingguo's snoring, forcing Yu Xiao to open his eyes.
Looking at the minister who knelt down and bowed his head, Yu Xiao was triumphant, he coughed deeply, and the little emperor immediately said, Zhongqing's family is flat.
Thanks, long live!
All the ministers rose slowly, only Ma Zhongcheng still bowed his head and knelt on the ground crying, with teary eyes, he said sadly, Your Majesty, the ministers have something to do.
Yu Xingguo said impatiently: "What's the matter! ”
Ma Zhongcheng whined and cried, "The minister was born in a cold and bitter background, and my father was unfortunate in his early years, only a grandmother pulled me up with hard work.
There is no retribution in this life, and now he hears that his grandmother is old, and he is in a hospital bed, and the minister is sad and sad every day, and his heart is haggard to go to the court without intention, and it is even more difficult to support the court.
I also hope that Your Majesty will remember the filial piety of the ministers, miss the feelings of motherhood, and implore Your Majesty to see the old minister's years of painstaking efforts, give permission to the old minister, resign from the official position, return to the hometown to be loyal and filial, and the minister will be grateful.
After finishing speaking, Ma Zhongcheng kowtowed in tears, full of the cowardly posture of his daughter's family, and even cried and mourned in public, which was particularly pitiful.
But this is not over, in order to be able to resign from his official position, Ma Zhongcheng also secretly prepared plasma, and put it in his mouth while he was not ready, and vomited the blood of heart failure on the spot, and his body was weak.
Many of the other ministers are puzzled, as the third duke, the power is monstrous, and it is a superior honor to present the emperor and the emperor to supervise hundreds of officials, and how many people in the world have squeezed their heads.
But these are not important, the important thing is that this is a thorn in the flesh, finally a good day is over, he has killed so many corrupt officials, so that people with related interests hate him to the core, they dream that something can happen to this Ma Zhongcheng, and now that the opportunity has come, how can they let it go.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu pretended to be sympathetic, and said with a cry, "Hundred good filial piety first, since the establishment of the Daxing Dynasty, there are no respectable people with filial piety, the filial piety of Lord Zhongcheng is really heaven and earth, touching the heavens and the earth, Weichen is ashamed of himself, and he is very sad with it, and the tears are difficult to stop crying." ”
After speaking, the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Ma Zhongcheng cried and mourned together, but at the same time as kneeling, the ministers behind saw the clue at a glance, saw the wind and the rudder, and all said a sentence of "the minister seconded the proposal" and knelt down to grieve.
All of a sudden, the entire hall was crying, which made people's hearts permeate with desolation.
The little emperor's face is hideous, deep in his heart is the person who desperately does not want Ma Zhongcheng to resign and return to his hometown, this palace is a cage in his eyes, a nightmare and terrible cage, his father probably only remembers seeing three times in his impression, the queen mother saw that she wanted to kill me immediately, Yu Xingguo, a big thief, has bullied me since he was a child, slave I, never gave me a good face for a day, Wu Gonggong seems to be full of smiles, but it is actually a cruel and vicious knife, what he thinks in his heart, it is estimated that only he knows.
Only Ma Zhongcheng, he is different from everyone else, he feels like a clear stream constantly washing away the filth of the court, and he is really dedicated to Daxing.
Most importantly, he recognizes me as a king, and whether I am the crown prince or the emperor, he gives me a comfortable sense of security.
If he leaves, I will really be the only one left in the country of the Great Xing Dynasty, although I am young but not confused, I know that Ma Zhongcheng is the person here who does not want to resign and return to his hometown, but he is lonely and weak.
Yu Xiao saw that he was very unlucky, and in addition to Ma Zhongcheng's cowardly appearance, he wished that people should hurry away from this pickled thing, and just when he was about to promise him, Wu Gonggong suddenly stopped Yu Xingguo at this moment and said, "Lord Xingguo, the slave thinks it is absolutely impossible, Ma Zhongcheng~~"
Before Gonggong Wu finished speaking, Ma Zhongcheng stood up angrily and pointed at Gonggong Wu and scolded: "Bold dog slave, since the founding of the country, the first iron law is that eunuchs are not allowed to discuss the ministers of the court above the court, you dare to openly provoke, and interrupt Yu Xingguo's words in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the main hall." If you do such a deviant thing, your heart can be punished, and you should be cut according to the law. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Gonggong was planted, he was a little too anxious in his heart, this was the stupidest mistake he had made so far, he was pale, he knelt for Yu Xingguo on the spot, and kept sobbing his face and said, "The slave is guilty, the slave is cheap, begging Yu Xingguo to spare his ......life."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, who is Gonggong Wu? The most popular and well-connected eunuch in the palace, if all the ministers have anything unsightly, as long as they ask Gonggong Wu with silver, they will be safe and sound, because those unbearable folds will not be handed over to the throne at all, and even he can make a hindrance from it and erase those stains silently.
Such a powerful character, how many people can't stammer, Ma Zhongcheng actually wants him to die on the spot, he really doesn't know the height of the sky, and eats the bear's heart and leopard gall. Or do you really think that you have the ability to turn the tide and be fearless.
All the officials were speechless for a while, as if they all felt that they had fallen into Ma Zhongcheng's way, and they didn't know how to defend Gonggong Wu.
Yu Xiao Yu Xingguo looked at this dog minion, and thought about it carefully, he really couldn't find a suitable person to replace him, not to mention the kung fu of pleasing and making fun of people, he can be described as a veritable talent.
Yu Xingguo laughed and defended, "When beheaded, the punishment is a little too much, this dog slave is the first offense, Ben Xingguo is in charge, fight the 20th army battle, and punish half a year to set an example." ”
Gonggong Wu was so frightened that he knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you Yu Xingguo, thank you Yu Xingguo for not killing." ”
While pulling it down, Wu Gonggong and Ma Zhongcheng looked at each other viciously, incompatible.
There is an old saying since ancient times, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", and now Ma Zhongcheng has completely offended Wu Gonggong, this villain who loves to hold grudges, it is estimated that he will have to sleep all night to think about how to get rid of this person.
Looking back at Yu Xiao Yu Xingguo, there was no reaction to Ma Zhongcheng's resignation, since he was tricked by Ye Qing of the Seven Star Daoist Pavilion six years ago, he used Ma Zhongcheng's relationship at most, after all, the prophecy of this soothsayer left them with too much shadow, making them feel helpless that it was better to believe it, and now that it has been six years, there is no need to assist him, Ma Zhongcheng can stay, kill or go.
And now he took the initiative to mention it, and the hundred officials interceded for him, so according to what everyone thought, he agreed to remove him from his official position and go home to fulfill his filial piety.
The little emperor understood Yu Xingguo's will and said, "I, I am allowed to resign and return to his hometown." ”
Ma Zhongcheng kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
After speaking, Yu Xingguo was in a bad mood, and walked away, and everyone knelt down.
Another little eunuch said, "Congratulations, Yu Xingguo." ”
When the little emperor saw that Xingguo was gone, how dare he go to the court independently, so he immediately left the throne.
"Retreat!"
……
After Gonggong Wu was beaten, almost many ministers went to visit, and the reason why he was so anxious and didn't want Ma Zhongcheng to leave was because he felt that Ma Zhongcheng was going to resign and return to his hometown at this moment, which was too cheap for him.
Over the years, I don't know why, Ma Zhongcheng has been like a god, and he has continuously exposed more than a dozen ministers in the DPRK, although these ministers are corrupt officials, but they are almost all Wu Gonggong's money bags.
And the most important thing is that the ministers who were exposed and beheaded, Wu Gonggong had their handles in his hands, and he originally wanted to rely on these handles to control them and achieve his status as the richest man in the world, so as to completely destroy the Chaofeng business and put Empress Qi in a desperate situation.
But these were all mixed up by Ma Zhongcheng, and it can be said that ten years of painstaking plans were completely shattered.
But it doesn't matter, this beating woke up Gonggong Wu completely, why did I bother to kill him in the court, since you insist on leaving, then let you go, but whether you can reach it safely, then it is up to you.
……
After leaving the palace, Ma Zhongcheng greatly accelerated his pace, and he had to hurry home to tell his wife and children that he would be early tomorrow morning, no! Be sure to get out of town tonight in case something happens.
"Father" A cordial greeting made Ma Jiguang stop. He looked back and saw that it was his eldest son, Ma Yuchuan, sixteen years old, the eldest son of the Cheng family in Mazhong, with a kind personality, gentle and elegant, modest and polite.
Ma Jiguang is the most proud of him in this life, he has been wise since he was a child, although he has no talent in martial arts, but he is deeply loved by his father, the main part of his restraint is because of this child, he firmly believes that it will not be long before this son will make great achievements.
At this time, an eight-year-old child appeared, and without saying a word, he shook off his brother's hand, rushed to his father and said, "I want to eat sugar gourds, Daddy, my brother won't buy it for me." ”
This round porcelain fat boy almost flashed Ma Jiguang's old waist.
"Yujie, come down quickly, my father can't stop your strength."
This stupid is also the son of Ma Jiguang, he was born with two nurses to feed, a natural foodie, and now he is eight years old and can eat a bucket of rice, and the amount of food for one person is as high as ten servants, but fortunately, since he was a child, his strength is amazing, three or four hundred pounds of things, and he will carry it and leave. But the most unfortunate thing is that this son is stupid and mentally retarded, and he has no brute strength.
Ma Jiguang smiled, "Okay, good, come down quickly!" When you come down, your father will buy it for you. ”
After speaking, Yujie jumped down and spun in circles happily.
Tamagawa said, "Father, are you alright?" Can hurt somewhere. ”
Ma Jiguang held his old waist with his right hand, hugged Chuan'er with his left hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just take a rest." ”
Yuchuan angrily said to Yujie, "Next time, if you dare to jump on your father, you will never have a sugar gourd to eat in your life." ”
Yujie was very afraid of his brother, he was happy just now, so he was so frightened that he immediately hid behind his father and used his father as a shield.
Ma Jiguang smiled and said, "Chuan'er, Xiaojie, he is also unintentional, don't mess with him." ”
"Father, get into the carriage first!"
"Okay, I originally thought of going home directly, but let's go buy sugar gourds for Xiaojie today."
"Xiaojie, punish you for leading the horse!"
"Got it, brother."
"Master, the old slave will go back first."
Ma Jiguang smiled, it was a good thing not to let the servants follow him at this time, and he sat in the carriage and looked at his child and asked, "Xiaochuan, why did you come to the gate of Miyagi today." ”
Xiao Chuan said affirmatively, "Because I think that my father will definitely resign from his official position today." ”
After hearing this, Ma Jiguang liked it very much, "Oh! Why so sure. ”
"Back to Father. Recently, there have been a lot of horses in the house to eat hay, and the father of the carriage has also asked the servants to repair it back and forth several times, and it has been strengthened a lot, and recently there have been more and more people in the family who have taken leave to return to the countryside, and I think it must be my father's arrangement, so I conclude that my father is leaving the imperial city. ”
"Well~ not bad, meticulous, that's right, my father has resigned, and before the first emperor died, my father occasionally met secretly when the first emperor went to the toilet."
~~
The first emperor said, "Ma Zhongcheng, I can finally see you again." ”
"Your Majesty, so are the ministers."
"Ma Zhongcheng, I am ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors, and I am ashamed of my country!"
"Your Majesty, the dead are gone, and the living are like this. You have to take care of your body! ”
"No~ I have to say everything I need to say today, otherwise I am afraid I will not have a chance in the future." Ahem!!
