The five hundred and fifty-eighth chapter imperial meeting (6)

When Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Mingyuan had something to say, he said in a gentle voice: "What do you mean by the second brother?"

Ma Mingyuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the country's finances are now being dragged down by military affairs, and the people are gradually declining. For the great cause of the country and the country, and to better concentrate their efforts on the Northern Expedition, please suspend the war against the Qing Dynasty. Please negotiate with the Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as Ma Mingyuan talks out, the entire Wenhua Palace was immediately infuriated. Those who could enter Zhu Hongsan's central organs were all people with blood hatreds with the Qing Dynasty. People who were in harmony with the Qing Dynasty were now staying in the imperial prison! These people heard that Ma Mingyuan wanted to negotiate with his life and death enemy, how could this be done? (I will explain to you the unspoken rules of official operation. You may think that as the emperor, Zhu Hongsan, if you want to talk, why would he have to ask his subordinates to propose it before passing? This is the rules of official operation. A good political environment is

Resilient means that one can move forward in a curve with left and right, and bounce back when it hits a wall, which can ensure that no major mistakes are made. However, if the top leader of the unit loses this flexibility after first making a resolution, it is easy to go on such a policy regardless of right or wrong. Chongzhen made such a mistake back then. After losing political flexibility, he could only go all the way to the dark, and no one shared the responsibility for Chongzhen, so the Ming Dynasty was destroyed! If you understand this, you will understand what democratic centralism is. Before democracy is concentrated, this is the great wisdom of the officialdom!)

The ministers in Wenhua Hall responded the strongest with the Zhejiang East Sect. After all, they fought the Qing Dynasty the most fiercely. Almost everyone had relatives and friends who died under the butcher knife of the Qing Dynasty. After hearing Ma Mingyuan said that, some officials rushed up to kill this traitor! Some officials even scolded Ma Mingyuan behind, calling him the second place Qin Hui.

Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Zhu Hongsan quickly asked the eunuch to go out and summon the Han generals to come in. As soon as the gate of Wenhua Hall opened, hundreds of Han generals wearing bright light armor walked into the hall and divided all the officials into ten groups to separate them, so as to prevent anyone from coming forward and beating Ma Mingyuan.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Zhu Hongsan asked, "What do you think about Mr. Ma's proposal?"

When the emperor said this, the civil and military officials in the court were scolding again. Tong Yangjia was very strange to beside him. Ma Mingyuan used to cherish his feathers, but today he proposed such a resolution that was angering for the public. Tong Yangjia felt that the situation was unclear, so it would be better not to express his opinion easily, let's talk about it. It was because Tong Yangjia didn't say anything, and some of his civil officials under him didn't say anything. Other cabinet masters couldn't figure out what Ma Mingyuan was thinking, so they were going to take a look before talking.

Zhu Hongsan glanced at Ma Mingyuan and was scolded by the Donglin Party and Zhejiang Party. None of the six cabinet masters expressed their opinions. How could this work? Zhu Hongsan ignored the others and asked directly: "Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Zhu Hongsan meant to ask the prime minister directly, forcing Chen Zizhuang to agree, and then end today's court meeting like a farce!

But Chen Zizhuang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister must not agree with the peace talks made by Lord Ma!"

Zhu Hongsan never expected that Chen Zizhuang would oppose him in public. Chen Zizhuang asked him to hand over the factory just now. Although Zhu Hongsan was angry, he did not take it seriously. He knew that these stinky old men were just urinating, and they all insisted on pretending to be saints who serve the country for the people. However, Chen Zizhuang opposed him even though he knew his intentions. This was not the act of a literati, but a political conflict with him.

Zhu Hongsan was very dissatisfied when he saw Chen Zizhuang opposing himself in public for the sake of honor and disregarding the country and his own safety. Zhu Hongsan flicked the armrest of the chair with his hand and asked, "Mr. Chen, why do you oppose peace talks with the Qing Dynasty?"

Chen Zizhuang knew that he was going to be unlucky today, and the first time he resigned, but if he didn't say anything today, he would be recorded in the history books. This was not something that Chen Zizhuang could tolerate. Now Chen Zizhuang didn't care whether the emperor was angry or not, and stood up and made generous statements, quoting classics to refute how untenable this policy of Ma Mingyuan's peace talks with the Qing Dynasty.

Ma Mingyuan next to him was overjoyed when he saw Chen Zizhuang saying this, and felt that his opportunity had come. It was not enough for Chen Zizhuang to force the emperor to surrender the factory just now, but now it is different. This is already against the emperor. If he grasps the position of prime minister, it must be his own!

Thinking of Ma Mingyuan taking out his killer move, a poisonous plan that had been prepared for many years. Ma Mingyuan glanced at a young official next to him, nodded at him, and signaled that he could act.

The young official saw Ma Mingyuan's vision and knew that his mission had come, but he had no choice. His little braid was held in Ma Mingyuan's hand, and he couldn't accept it!

At this time, just as Chen Zizhuang finished speaking, Zhu Hongsan asked again: "Who else wants to express his opinion! Let me say it together!"

The young official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Zhu Hongsan looked at the official who refused to recognize him and asked, "Report the name and say!"

The young official bowed and said, "I am Lin Fengchun, the head of the Qing official department of the Human Resources Department. I impeached the chief assistant Chen Zizhuang and secretly communicated with the Grand Secretary of the King of Gui's pseudo-cabinet Lu Daqi, and made a ill-intentioned plan!"

In order to differentiate the power of officials, Zhu Hongsan divided the Ministry of Personnel into two parts, separated the appointment power of officials and the assessment power. The original Ministry of Personnel's four departments selected the Qing official department, and the Qing official department was assigned to the Organization Department, the Qing official department was assigned to the Human Resources Department, and the Jixun Qing official department was assigned to the Human Resources Department. This Ministry of Personnel was originally the Guangdong faction in charge of the promotion of officials. After resigning, the Shangshu Huang Yingxiu replaced another Guangdong native Liu Dalin. The head of this important department was naturally his own people.

This is true. Lin Fengchun is from Nanhai, Guangdong, and is a village party with Chen Zizhuang, and is a direct lineman. Now Lin Fengchun has come out to prove that Chen Zizhuang and King Gui have had contact, which really shocked everyone in the Guangdong school.

In fact, if you look at Lin Fengchun's resume, you will know that in addition to being a Guangdong native, he was also a Jinshi in Chongzhen for ten years. A great figure emerged as a Jinshi in Chongzhen for ten years, that is, Ma Mingyuan, the current cabinet assistant.

After Ma Mingyuan arrived in Guangdong, he immediately began to form cliques. Lin Fengchun, as a classmate, was naturally the target of Ma Mingyuan. After Chen Zizhuang became the chief minister, Lin Fengchun was trusted and became a regular visitor in Chen Zizhuang's mansion without any notification.

After Lin Fengchun saw the letter from Lu Daqi to Chen Zizhuang in Chen Zizhuang's study, he revealed the news to Ma Mingyuan. Ma Mingyuan immediately regarded the news as a killer weapon and wanted to use it at the most critical moment.

Today, Ma Mingyuan saw that Chen Zizhuang's opinion was in conflict with the emperor. He knew that the time was coming, so he released Lin Fengchun's killer weapon.

Zhu Hongsan was stunned when he heard Lin Fengchun say this. Why did he still implicate Zhu Youlang from Guangxi?

"Lin Fengchun, do you know what the charge is to falsely accus the chief minister? Do you dare to issue a military order?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to make a military order. If I do not find letters in Chen Zizhuang's home, I am willing to take all the responsibility!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "Where do you think the letter from Lu Daqi is hidden?"

"In the second floor of Chen Zizhuang's study, the sixth volume on the left, the Analects of Confucius!"

When Chen Zizhuang heard Lin Fengchun telling the location clearly, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Chen Zizhuang and ordered Li Chengen to take the Dongchang mansion to Chen Zizhuang's mansion to get letters.

The entire hall has now forgotten about the peace talks between Ma Jiyuan, and everyone has paid attention to Chen Zizhuang's letter and wants to know what it is saying above?

Li Chengen brought the letter from Dongchang quickly and quickly brought it to Zhu Hongsan. Li Chengen raised it high and handed it to Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan took it and saw a very ordinary envelope. The seal had been opened, proving that Chen Zizhuang had seen it. The cover reads "Jisheng's brother's personal opening" and "Suining first" below. The last year is written with the first year of Yongli, which was the year before Zhu Hongsan became emperor.

Although Zhu Hongsan recognized the character, his level was basically semi-illiterate in the late Ming Dynasty. He knew that it was Chen Zizhuang's character, but what did Suining Xian mean? But don't be afraid, there are many experts in the court.

Zhu Hongsan asked: "What does Suining means first?"

Ma Mingyuan replied: "Your Majesty, Lu Daqi was born in Suining, Sichuan. At the same time, he called Xianzi, so Suining Xianzi was the self-proclaimed by Lu Daqi!"

Zhu Hongsan took out the letter and saw that he recognized every word, but he didn't recognize it together. He was written in classical Chinese. Zhu Hongsan handed the letter to Li Chengen and said, "Read it!"

Li Chengen agreed and began to read aloud the letters written by Lu Daqi to Chen Zizhuang in the court.

Although Zhu Hongsan does not recognize traditional Chinese characters, he still has his foundation in ancient Chinese, and at least he still knows the general meaning, so when Li Chengen was thinking about it, he could understand eight out of ten.

The first half of the letter is nothing, just recalling the wonderful time when Chen Zizhuang was in Nanjing. Chen Zizhuang and his son were framed by Wei Zhongxian, and were dismissed from office on the same day and were demoted to the people. When they returned to Guangdong through Nanjing, they made friends with Lu Daqi, Qian Qianyi, Qu Shizi, Gong Dingzi and others. In the second half, Lu Daqi changed his subject and began to curse Zhu Hongsan, saying that Zhu Hongsan was born in the market and had a dirty identity. Zhu Hongsan's father died early, and his mother Zhao Chunhua was the daughter of a clerk, and Zhu Hongsan was a child. At the same time, in the letter, he suspected that Zhu Hongsan was not the blood of the Zhu family at all, but was born with an affair with Zhu Hongsan's mother, Zhao Chunhua.

Although Zhu Hongsan has no respect for his father who has never met before, he respects his mother Zhao Chunhua, who has raised her adult life. Now, when Lu Daqi wrote his mother so badly in his letter, how could he bear it?
