Ma Mingyuan has been extremely free in the past two months. His home was burned by a troublemaker, but the emperor gave him a villa on the shore of Xuanwu Lake. Although this villa is not as large as the original Ma Mansion, it is right next to the emperor's villa, which also proves his important position in the emperor's heart.

Ma Mingyuan was having dinner tonight, and Ma Fu, the butler outside the door, ran in.

"Master, Master! A group of palace guards came outside the gate, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had an order to let the master enter the palace immediately!"

When Ma Fu said this, Ma Mingyuan was stunned. Why did His Majesty summon himself so late? Has the matter in the new policy changed?

Emperor Xuanzhao Ma Mingyuan did not dare to delay, so he quickly got up and put on his official uniform. When he left the gate, he saw a thirty-person Jinyiwei standing at the door.

The leader was a small Jinyiwei Banner. When he saw Ma Mingyuan coming out and kneeling down on one knee, he said, "George, Your Majesty summon him, please enter the palace with us!"

Ma Mingyuan helped the little flag up, took out a 100-yuan banknote from his sleeve and handed it to him, and asked in a low voice: "This little flag, why did Your Majesty look for Ma so late?"

The little flag put the silver notes in his arms and whispered: "Grade Master, I don't know the specific matters. But we have ten teams, Your Majesty will lead the cabinet, the Military Affairs Department, all the officials, and the Jiuqing Kedao, all the great things will be announced to the palace, and something big should have happened!"

When Ma Mingyuan heard that he had announced all the senior officials in Beijing to the palace, something big must have happened. The little flag in front of him had no choice but to take one step at a time.

Ma Mingyuan got on the official sedan chair, and the small flag sent ten Jinyiwei to open the way, and he took the rest of the people to the other adults' mansions.

Ma Mingyuan's villa is outside Nanjing City. He had to pass through Taiping Gate when entering the city. At this time, the city gate was closed. However, Ma Mingyuan had an imperial edict, and the ambassador who was guarding the gate quickly opened the door to welcome the Chief Minister. Although Ma Mingyuan's residence was closest to the palace, he had to bypass the entire palace and enter from Hongwu Gate to enter, so many people had gathered at the entrance of Hongwu Gate.

Wang Yunchang is Ma Mingyuan's iron-kick. When he saw his boss coming, he quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Yuan Fu is here!"

Ma Mingyuan nodded, and at the same time said hello to Fu Wenlong, Zhu Dadian and others, and asked Wang Yunchang in a low voice: "Yuanlu, what's going on?"

Wang Yunchang shook his head and said, "Yuan Fu, I don't know either. I just heard from the Jinyiwei that something happened to the court. Your Majesty asked us to enter the palace!"

When Ma Mingyuan saw that he couldn't ask anything, he had to wait here.

After Qian Qianyi, the farthest-far Qian, arrived, the palace gate opened, Li Chengen walked out of the palace gate, and said loudly: "Sir, come in with us!"

The officials were arranged according to their official positions and entered the palace under the leadership of the chief minister Ma Mingyuan.

When Ma Mingyuan entered the Wenhua Palace, he saw Tong Yangjia here early. Ma Mingyuan thought in his heart: Why did this old guy come first? Did something happen?

Zhu Hongsan frowned and looked at the ministers' manners and said, "It's a big deal that happened to call you all the good friends so late. Mr. Tong, tell me!"

Tong Yangjia bowed and said the incident in Guangxi. As soon as Tong Yangjia finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Seeing these guys so rude, Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and the great general standing on both sides of the hall shouted: "Silent! Majestic!" Then the noise in the hall slowly faded.

Zhu Hongsan rubbed his head and asked, "That's how it is. Dear friends, what should I do?"

Gong Dacheng, the Minister of Equipment Department, was very happy. He was an army system and now he was going to fight. Naturally, his power in his hands rose.

Gong Dacheng quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, King Gui is a capricious villain. Now he should work together to deal with the Qing Dynasty, but he did such a rebellious act. I suggest sending a general to lead the army to Guangdong to fight King Gui. I believe that as soon as the king's army arrives, Gui Ni's rebels will disappear like fire and hair!"

As soon as Gong Dacheng said this, although the ministers cursed Gong Dacheng in their hearts and said that King Gui was Gui Ni in order to flatter the emperor, they also stood up to discuss Gong Dacheng. After all, they are now sitting here at Zhu Hongsan, and Zhu Hongsan has occupied the capital first and worshipped Xiaoling. They are much better than King Gui in terms of legitimacy.

When Zhu Hongsan heard the ministers unanimously agree to start a war with Zhu Youlang, Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Since all my dear friends agree, I am going to lead the imperial army in person, what do you think?"

The emperor's words exploded in the crowd like a bomb, and the ministers opposed it.

Ma Yunlong, the official department director, stood up and said, "Your Majesty is the foundation of the country, how can you leave the capital easily? The disaster of Yingzong is still in front of you. I don't agree with Your Majesty's expedition!"

As soon as Ma Yunlong said this, some middle- and low-level officials were born and opposed it. Anyway, they were not prepared to let Zhu Hongsan leave Beijing.

Zhu Hongsan was upset and said to Ma Mingyuan: "Mr. Ma, you are the prime minister, what do you think?"

Ma Mingyuan stood up and said, "I agree that Your Majesty will go out in person! Your Majesty is different from Emperor Yingzong. Your Majesty will naturally be familiar with the marching and war. In addition, Guangdong is the foundation of our dynasty, and sending a general is afraid that it will not convince the generals of Guangdong. Moreover, most of the food supply in Nanzhili is now counting on Guangdong. Only Your Majesty can coordinate all parties by leading the team. Therefore, I agree that Your Majesty will go out in battle!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded in his heart when he heard Ma Mingyuan say this. Ma Mingyuan was right. Feng Ziyong, who is in charge of Guangdong now, and Feng Laoer, as one of his four major strategists, can he order him except Ma Mingyuan, Ma Jiyuan and Tong Yangjia, who are of the same origin? In addition, the leading general Zhou Yu in Guangdong is very old and follows him in Huguang. Except for Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong, others in the army cannot command him at all. It seems that only by going in person can you coordinate all parties.

Just as Zhu Hongsan lowered his head and thought about his concern, a civil servant among the ministers stood up, and it was Cao Guang, the censor of the Censorate.

"Your Majesty, I have a copy of it!"

Zhu Hongsan thought he had any suggestions for the war in Guangdong and said, "Let's listen!"

"Your Majesty, I impeach the chief assistant Ma Mingyuan!" Cao Guang finished speaking and said, "I am the chief supervisor of Jiangxi Road. Cao Guang, the censor of Jiangxi Province, reported! To thank God for his kindness, I will sacrifice myself to repay the saints and sentence them to the saints, and I will punish the treacherous and treacherous ministers with the Qing Dynasty to conquer the enemy's troubles. I will impeach the treacherous and Ma Mingyuan for eight major crimes!"

Cao Guang talked freely in the hall, summing up Ma Mingyuan's crimes into eight:

First, "the law of the ancestors was destroyed", Emperor Gao dismissed the prime minister, and Ma Mingyuan encouraged His Majesty to establish a cabinet prime minister. Any replies to the government must first talk to him in person before drafting and submitting the memorial.

Secondly, "the power of the emperor is stealing from the emperor." Ma Mingyuan used His Majesty's joys and anger to act as a blessing. The civil and military officials thanked Ma Mingyuan more than thanked His Majesty, and were afraid of Ma Mingyuan more than afraid of His Majesty.

Third, "hiding the achievements of the ruler" and Your Majesty has good governance, Ma Mingyuan will definitely ask his followers to tell others that this was initiated by Ma Mingyuan's proposal, and want the world to know that Your Majesty's good things are attributed to him Ma Mingyuan.

Fourth, "to steal the stolen partisans", His Majesty ordered Ma Mingyuan to criticize the documents drafted by him, and Ma Mingyuan took them home and asked his partisans to write them on their behalf.

Fifth, "taking military achievements from the court", Ma Mingyuan's son Ma Shaojun never involved in the army, but pretended to be the military achievements of Nanzhili and was awarded the position of Jinyi to the position of governor.

Sixth, "a big deal for promotion and demotion", Xu Xueshi, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, was dismissed for his righteousness, and his brother Xu Yingfeng, the clerk of the Secretariat, was also rejected. The ministers of Li Rujin were exiled to be a classic for sympathy with Xu Xueshi, and were also demoted by the Ministry of Personnel in the name of examination. Ministers from both inside and outside were slandered by Ma Mingyuan.

Seventh, "losing the hearts of the people in the world", civil and military officials were moved and promoted, and Ma Mingyuan gave them the money they bribed. The generals bribed Ma Mingyuan and had to exploit the soldiers; the officials bribed Ma Mingyuan and had to beat and scold them to gather the people. As a result, the soldiers and the people were displaced, and the corruption in the officialdom spread all over the country, causing Your Majesty to lose the hearts of the people in the world.

Eighth, "the customs of the world are destroyed", Ma Mingyuan is tyrannical and has greatly changed social customs. The bribers recommend people like Thomas Zhi, and those who are dismissive and deposed people like Boyi and Shuqi. People who are honest and upright are regarded as people who intentionally violate common sense, and those who are good at craftsmanship are regarded as people with more experience and good at doing things. Since ancient times, there is no more severe than now. Ma Mingyuan is fond of money, and people all over the world advocate greed for money, Ma Mingyuan is fond of flattery, and people all over the world advocate flattery. The origin is unclear, how can the vulgarity be clarified?

Cao Guang read out this "Memorial on Requesting the Killing of Treacherous Ministers" in the court, and the whole court was silent. Ma Mingyuan was even more shocked, and he did not expect that Cao Guang would attack the first.

You should know that Cao Guang is not someone else, he was the same year of Ma Mingyuan and Chongzhen. Now you have stood up in the same year to count your eight serious crimes. What kind of face do you have to continue doing?

In fact, most of the eight major crimes that Cao Guang said were fabricated. The first one was to destroy the ancestors and the law was not true. Zhu Hongsan decided to set the cabinet prime minister system back then, so Ma Mingyuan was not responsible for not dissuading His Majesty. However, as the chief minister, Ma Mingyuan still had a certain responsibility to not dissuade His Majesty. The second and thirds were simply taken out of context. As the chief minister, Ma Mingyuan had to do things, and he had to offend people. Naturally, someone was talking bad things about Ma Mingyuan and others behind his back. The fifth one said Ma Mingyuan's son was even more nonsense. Ma Shaojun's Jinyiwei tutor was personally granted by the emperor. The three items of six, seven, and eight are quite reliable. Ma Mingyuan eliminated his dissidents and accepted bribes at the same time. However, Zhu Hongsan knew that taking some money was nothing in Zhu Hongsan's eyes. What Zhu Hongsan wanted was that you could work. If a minister did not work and accepted bribes, it was really not far from death.
