Chapter 86 The traditional characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, impeachment and resignation
……
“…… Selfish and hypocritical people like Ma Shoufu and Ruan Shangshu continue to let them be in a high position, which will inevitably cause unimaginable harm to my Daming!! ”
"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to depose Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng!!"
Lu Daqi said with an impassioned face his purpose of impeaching Ma Shiying.
Then he didn't care about the reaction of the ministers in the hall.
Just lowered his head and quietly waited for the emperor's decision.
At this time, whether the ministers supported or opposed him, they were completely stunned at the moment.
They thought that today was just a meeting as ordinary as usual.
At most, it is the big news that the traitor has entered Ning Guofu.
As a result, no one expected that Lu Daqi would surprise them at the beginning of this court!
Directly ask the emperor to depose Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng!!
This is incredible!!
Now who in the entire Ming Dynasty doesn't know that Ma Shiying is the first hero to support the emperor, and he belongs to the dignified emperor's confidant minister.
Lu Daqi actually dared to open his mouth to impeach him?
Isn't this looking for death?!
The ministers didn't dare to talk about this matter at this moment, so they could only wait for the emperor's decision like Lu Daqi.
Or there is the defense of Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng.
But Ma Shiying didn't explain too much at this time, but fell directly to the ground.
Not a word.
The way he looked made Ruan Dacheng, who was blushing in the back, stunned.
I don't understand why Ma Shiying didn't defend himself at all.
But then he thought about it, Ma Shiying couldn't just accept his fate obediently, he must have his intentions in doing so.
So he also knelt down behind Ma Shiying without saying a word.
This kind of bizarre scene also made the ministers in the hall puzzled.
According to the rules of the Ming officialdom, shouldn't all those who are impeached defend themselves?
At least say a few words about injustice, right?
Why don't you say anything and just kneel like that?
Could it be that he is really ready to accept his fate?!!!
Thinking of this possibility, the heartbeats of many ministers in the palace began to beat faster.
Are they going to witness the fall of Shousuke, the first person of the "New Dynasty", today!!
However, only some officials who have just entered the officialdom will think so.
The six Shangshu, the squire and the cabinet officials had already seen Ma Shiying's purpose in doing so.
This is to carry the ball to the emperor!
This impeachment seems to be impeaching Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, but it is actually scolding the emperor!
You must know that Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng are both officials appointed by the emperor himself.
Now Lu Daqi directly said in court that Ma Ruan and the others were selfish and hypocritical people, and he almost said that he and the two were traitors!
But doing so is equivalent to directly slapping the emperor in the face.
It's strange to be able to impeach Ma Shiying!
This Lu Daqi is finished.
At this moment, Gao Hongtu, Xie Xuelong, Jiang Yueguang, Qian Qianyi and other important ministers all thought that Lu Daqi's officialdom career was over.
It's not even possible that Ma Shiying will be impeached and sent to prison for questioning!
At this time, Zhu Yousong was indeed as Qian Qianyi and others thought.
The face is extremely ugly.
He is not a fool, so he can naturally hear what Lu Daqi means.
Isn't it just saying that Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng are traitors?
But they are traitors, so what am I?
Faint?!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong was even more angry.
Since he ascended the throne in May, this is the first time that someone has pointed at his nose and scolded him at a court meeting!
But he endured!
At this kind of moment of the court, Lu Daqi can not scold himself in face.
But I can't see it in general.
Otherwise, he will definitely be told by those who are picky that he is narrow-minded and cares about a courtier.
For the sake of his wise character, he endured it!
Zhu Yousong, who took a deep breath, looked at Ma and Ruan who were kneeling on the ground.
asked softly: "Lu Shilang's words, I don't know if Ma Shoufu and Ruan Shangshu can justify them?"
Saying that, as if to reassure Ma Shiying, Zhu Yousong continued.
"Of course, I believe in the people of Ma Shoufu and Ruan Shangshu, but regardless of whether the content of the impeachment is true or false, and Wei Aiqing should also explain it~"
This sentence is basically equivalent to supporting Ma Shiying in disguise.
As long as his few words are not true, the emperor will probably agree immediately.
Zhu Yousong's disposition did not exceed the expectations of the ministers.
After all, the emperor was supported by Ma Shiying with the soldiers and horses of the four towns, who else could he support if he didn't support Ma Shiying.
Just when the ministers thought that this matter would pass like this, Ma Shiying's next sentence complicated things again.
"Your Majesty, please resign and return to your hometown!"
Ma Shiying knelt on the ground, held the wat board above his head and said.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked at first.
But then I thought that this was a routine operation after Da Ming was impeached.
So I immediately watched this "farce" happily.
Zhu Yousong was also shocked at first, but he also remembered that this was the normal operation of the person who was impeached by the Ming Dynasty.
So he thought carefully about how the previous emperors dealt with this kind of thing.
Fang said comfortingly to Ma Shiying: "Lord Shoufu has done his best for Daming, and often works until late at night before leaving."
"How can such a person be a selfish and hypocritical person if he is so faithful to his duty?"
"Now that the country is suffering from internal and external troubles, it is the time when the first assistant needs to worry about it."
"How can you resign and return to your hometown?"
"Do you want to abandon me? Abandon me? ”
As he spoke, Zhu Yousong's eyes squeezed a few tears.
looked like a benevolent monarch in order to save his courtiers, and Ma Shiying, who saw it, was moved.
Hurriedly replied with tears streaming down his face: "Minister! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
"The minister can meet a benevolent monarch like His Majesty in this life, it is really the third life of the minister!"
"It's just that since the minister took office, he hasn't done a major thing to benefit the country and the people."
"Now that he has been impeached by Lu Shilang for being a traitor, I am really ashamed to be this first assistant!"
"Please also ask Your Majesty's brigadier to resign and return to his hometown!"
"Shoufu ......"
“……”
watched Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying sing and perform in harmony.
The ministers secretly began to roll their eyes.
This familiar scene has been seen many times in the eyes of some veteran officials.
The most famous is Zhang Juzheng, a powerful minister during the Shenzong period.
Because he was impeached by his own students, he resigned three times and returned to his hometown.
The emperor and the empress dowager kept it three times, and finally left it in the capital.
Looking at the current form, it is estimated that it will be the same as Zhang Juzheng's then.
And the subsequent development was not unexpected by the ministers.
After Zhu Yousong spoke three times in a row to save Ma Shiying.
He looked reluctant and agreed.
“…… Since His Majesty and Da Ming need ministers so much, then Wei Chen has no choice but to do his best for Da Ming, and then die! ”
Ma Shiying said with a touched face.
Completely ignoring the strange eyes of the ministers.
"That's how it should be, Lord Shoufu is my Ming Dynasty's Dinghai Divine Needle, how can he resign and return to his hometown like this."
"I saw that Lu Shilang was talking nonsense at all, and I guess I heard some rumors, so I ran over to impeach Lord Shoufu."
"Not at all due diligence."
"Don't apologize to Ma Shoufu quickly!"
