On the second day after the end of the Wuzi Incident, on the third day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Shaowu in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet used the emperor's name to inform the world. Due to physical reasons, the emperor temporarily handed over the country to Ma Shiying, and at the same time promoted Ma Shiying to the Grand Tutor, the Grand Marshal of the World, the Minister of Responsible for the Government, and the general leader of the military and country!

Ma Cheng sighed when he saw this imperial edict. It seemed that Ma Shiying was still worried about it and did not write the regent. In fact, this is not because Ma Shiying didn't want to be the regent, because Ma Shiying and Ma Cheng have different positions.

Ma Cheng is now eager to proclaim himself emperor and then make himself crown prince. But Ma Shiying has to face all the scholars in the world. The pressure he has to bear is much greater than that of Ma Cheng, so it is better not to have the reputation of regent. Now he is in charge of military and national importance, and his status is no less than that of regents.

At the same time, the appointment documents of the three brothers Ma Cheng were issued with the imperial edict. Ma Cheng was promoted to Duke of Wei in Zhenguo, and other official positions remained unchanged. The eldest brother Ma Luan was named Duke of Qin and Minister of Works. The third brother Ma Xi was named Duke of Qi, Minister of War, and Governor of Nanzhili. The three brothers are now high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are in the limelight for a while.

Ma Cheng didn't know what the eldest and third brothers thought, but he couldn't be happy at all now. He had been busy for so long, but he just turned the marquis into a duke, and had no other real power at all. So Ma Cheng was ready to go to Ma Shiying to argue with him as soon as he saw the imperial edict.

But Ma Cheng's impulse was dissuaded by Wang Xian. The reason is very simple. In the past, Ma Cheng was already the most important minister, and the emperor had handed over the military of several provinces in Jiangnan to you. What else do you want to do? You could cry in the past, but now Ma Shiying is in charge of the family. Can you still oppose your own father?

After hearing Wang Xian's words, Ma Cheng sighed deeply. His son's identity was indeed a constraint. In the Ming Dynasty, filial piety was emphasized. No matter how bad you are, Ma Cheng, no matter how unfaithful you are to the emperor, you can find a reason to explain it, but the only one is unsolvable to Ma Shiying. If Ma Cheng uses the means of treating the emperor now to force Ma Shiying, then let alone the literati under Ma Cheng, even those confidant generals would leave him. Thinking of this, Ma Cheng sighed, since that's the case, then accept his fate.

Ma Cheng could not do without the right to official positions, but he had to fight for his subordinates. Ma Cheng put a total of 126 meritorious officials in this coup and also reported the candidates for the inner city admiral, the Imperial City Commander and other people he had decided, hoping that the cabinet would agree. Then Ma Cheng began to prepare to leave Beijing because he was preparing to use troops to Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi after the spring, and strive to completely resolve the small courts in the south within two to three years.

But what disappointed Ma Cheng was that he had not replied to the list he had reported for a long time. Ma Cheng finally got impatient and went directly to the cabinet to find Ma Shiying. But what Ma Cheng didn't expect was that Ma Shiying didn't see him, and just asked the clerk to tell him that he could go home and wait for the news.

Ma Cheng had no choice but to go home and wait for the news. It took a month to wait. On the fifth day of the second month, the cabinet's official documents came late. Ma Cheng opened it and saw that the 126 heroes he reported had all received rewards, but the numbers changed, from 126 to 189.

Ma Cheng looked at the list and found that the extra two-generation officials were all second-generation officials. It was nothing. These guys took advantage of my prestige to be an official and get a vacant salary. Ma Cheng could accept it, but it was the most important.

The inner city admiral and the imperial city commander who were needed changed.

The inner city admiral Ma Cheng originally arranged for his elder brother-in-law Gu Changwei to serve as the leader. After all, Gu Changwei used to be his own eldest son. With the experience over the past few years, it is more than enough to serve as the inner city admiral. The commander of the imperial city was An Zhennan, which was also a military general that Ma Cheng wanted.

However, in this document, the inner city admiral became Zhang Guozhu, and the imperial city commander became Zhang Kunyuan.

I don’t know who Zhang Kunyuan is, but isn’t Zhang Guozhu his front-line general? How did he be transferred back to become the inner city admiral?

After reading the official document, Ma Cheng was furious and changed into his official uniform and went to the cabinet to see his son Ma Shiying. This time Ma Cheng did not encounter any resistance. Ma Shiying soon met Ma Cheng in the living room of the cabinet.

Truth is indeed a man's medicine. Ma Shiying hasn't seen him for a month, and he is full of energy and is not as good as he did a month ago. Ma Cheng didn't salute either. He sat on the chair when he entered the room and asked, "Dad, why has the candidate for the inner city admiral I reported to be Zhang Guozhu? The front line cannot live without him!"

Ma Shiying glared at Ma Cheng and said, "The cabinet here is called the official position of me!"

Seeing Ma Shiying like this, Ma Cheng couldn't say: "Ma Tai Shi, why did he transfer Zhang Guozhu back?"

"The inner city admiral has a great responsibility and is responsible for guarding the capital. He needs to select veteran and persistent people. Zhang Guozhu has followed me from Shanxi, and has enough qualifications, so he will naturally be transferred back to take important positions!"

"What should I do on the front line?"

"The Ministry of War has issued another official document to transfer Ma Bao to the Zhejiang front line!"

Ma Cheng became even more angry when he heard this. Ma Bao turned out to be in Anqing and was responsible for dealing with the Qing army in Huguang and Jiangxi. His strategic position was also very important. How could he be transferred back?

"Dad, no! Ma Taishi, Ma Bao is responsible for Jiangxi's defense. What should I do if I transfer him back to Jiangxi?"

"Ma Bao's vacancy will be taken over by your younger brother Ma Xi!"

What a joke? After facts, Ma Xi is a waste. Letting him take charge of a war zone is absolutely not possible. Ma Cheng was about to object, but Ma Shiying frowned and scolded: "Ma Cheng, pay attention to your identity. You are just a military general and are not qualified to oppose the cabinet's decision!"

When Ma Cheng saw Ma Shiying angry, he knew that the inner city admiral was destined to be Zhang Guozhu. Thinking of this, Ma Cheng no longer insisted. Anyway, Ma Siwei, a waste, went to Jiangxi, and you, Ma Shiying, would have any mistakes.

"Since this is the case, my son will no longer object. I ask the Ministry of War to submit a document. My son will return to the Zhejiang frontline and lead the army to Fujian."

Ma Cheng planned to stay away from the central government's thoughts, but unexpectedly Ma Shiying said: "Ma Cheng, you have outstanding military achievements. The army of the Tang King of Fujian is full of native chickens and tiles. If you have Ma Bao alone, you can stay in Nandu Zhang Zong!"

Ma Cheng was shocked after hearing Ma Shiying's words. Didn't this deprive him of his military power? The wish that Zhu Lunkui had not achieved for several years was actually fulfilled by Ma Shiying's hands.

"Dad, how can this work? Frontline..."

Ma Cheng still had to tell the difference, but Ma Shiying glared at him and said, "You can just obey what the cabinet has already decided! I still have something to do, go back!"

After Ma Shiying said that, she stood up and left, leaving Ma Cheng behind

Sitting in the house, these made Ma Cheng very uncomfortable, but he could not have any complaints. Ma Shiying, the father's identity, suppressed him tightly. China is a country that talks about filial piety. In the future, if the elderly do not support them, they will be condemned by society, let alone the exaggeration. The Ming Dynasty's laws stipulated that fathers have absolute control over their children, including the right to life, which means that the father does not need to be sentenced to kill their sons.

Of course, the son can also do anything in the name of filial piety and will not be punished by law. Ma Cheng used to avenge Ma Shiying. If he really killed Zhu Lunkui, he would be condemned by the literati class at most and would not have any irreversible consequences for him. But now it is different. Ma Shiying suppressed Ma Cheng in the name of his father. Ma Cheng had no capital to resist except for silently accepting it.

Ma Shiying had already left, and Ma Cheng was the only one left in the huge reception room. The bookkeeper at the door leaned his head and looked in. Ma Cheng was already angry and happened to see this unlucky guy coming in. Ma Cheng was so angry that he cursed: "Bastard, what are you looking at? Can I still live in your cabinet?"

The bookkeeper saw Ma Cheng get angry and knew that this murderous devil could not afford to offend him. He quickly retreated. You can stay in this place as long as you like.

It is naturally impossible for Ma Cheng to live here for the rest of his life. Now Ma Shiying has said that, what can Ma Cheng do? He had to stand up and exit the cabinet.

The cabinet in the Ming Dynasty was in the imperial city. Ma Cheng rode a horse in front of Qianbulang from Chengtianmen. This was a major place for state organs. He was not going to stay here without any matter. However, the Jinyiwei guards guarding Qianbulang were all Ma Cheng's direct subordinates, so he naturally did not dare to come and take care of this frustrated Duke Zhenguo.

Ma Cheng rode his horse slowly in the Qianbu Gallery, and a voice beside him shouted: "Zhonghe, what are you doing?"

Ma Cheng's courtesy name is Zhonghe, but now Ma Cheng has a noble status, and most of the people who dare to call him are elders. Ma Cheng turned around and saw that this person was Ma Cheng's uncle Yue Qijie.

Yue Qijie was the first to come forward to draft an imperial edict and change the concept, so he changed the matter to yes after Ma Shiying took power and promoted Yue Qijie to the Ministry of Personnel to be the Minister of Personnel. Yue Qijie was the governor of Zhejiang before, but he was also at the same level as the Minister of Personnel, but the Minister of Personnel could not be compared with the Minister of Personnel.

The Minister of Personnel was called the Heavenly Official and controlled the lives of all officials in the world. Although the power of the Minister was not as good as that of the Minister, the two departments under Yue Qijie were in charge of them were extraordinary. They were the two most fat departments in the world, including the Qing Lisi and the Qing Lisi.

Wangwen is born with meaning. Wenxuan Department is responsible for the promotion of all officials in the world. Officials of the fourth rank and above in the Ming Dynasty were senior officials. The appointment of these officials must be nominated by the Ministry of Personnel, and then the emperor ordered them, and finally the cabinet was written. However, from Zhu Di, the emperor became lazy in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor did not attend court at all during the Wanli period, so the appointment power of this fourth rank and above official fell into the cabinet.
