Ma Mingyuan just knelt on the ground and asked the emperor for forgiveness, but heard that the emperor would dismiss himself and all the members of the cabinet together with the thirteen ministers and let the Military Affairs Office replace the position of the cabinet. How could Ma Mingyuan, as a vested interest, give up his rights?

"Your Majesty, this is not in line with the ancestral system! The Military Affairs Office is just a military institution, but now it is going to replace the cabinet. What should I do if the government affairs are there?"

Zhu Hongsan glared when he heard Ma Mingyuan say this, "What? Tell me about the ancestral system. I ask you, the stinky old ninth group, what did the Emperor Taizu say back then? Did you say that the descendants of the Zhu family are not allowed to have another prime minister? If any ministers dare to propose this proposal, they will be severely punished! Is that true? Now I am restoring the ancestral system of Taizu!"

Ma Mingyuan didn't expect the emperor to know this and quickly argued: "Your Majesty, the prime minister who was banned by Taizu back then, but our dynasty was the prime minister. These two points are different!"

"Different? What's the difference? The government's affairs come from your prime ministers, and the appointment and removal of officials comes from your prime ministers. You still say you are not the prime minister?" Zhu Hongsan said this is the real reason. What do you want me to do if you have done it? Do you still want me to be a carpenter and a Taoist priest?

Zhu Hongsan saw that Ma Mingyuan wanted to explain, and Zhu Hongsan interrupted and said, "Ma Aiqing, Fang Fengnian impeached you just now. I believe you are not aware of the matter in your hometown, but the case is not over yet. Ma Aiqing will go home and wait for the news first!"

After saying that, Zhu Hongsan said without waiting for Ma Mingyuan to explain, he continued, "You are all cabinet masters, officials, and role models for all officials in the world. Today, this kind of scandal occurred at the national court ceremony. Don't you feel guilty? Will your conscience hurt? Are you still worthy of the saints of Confucius and Mencius?"

If conscience had just joined the company, it would have been a bit a bit, but now? I don’t know where to throw it away. Although I know that I have no conscience, how dare I say that in front of the emperor? So when the emperor asked this, all the officials bowed and said, “Your Majesty, I am guilty!”

Zhu Hongsan looked at these insincere bastards and pointed at the headed cabinet masters and said, "You are the leaders of all officials. Are you not responsible for this matter today? Now I will suspend you and decide what you will do when the case in Henan is tried!"

After saying that, Zhu Hongsan said to Chen Mingxia of the Military Affairs Office: "Chen Mingxia, you were also the Minister of Personnel during the Qing Dynasty. You are also familiar with how the court operates. The national affairs of the cabinet master will be under the responsibility of your Military Affairs Office during this period of suspension!"

Chen Mingxia was overjoyed when she heard the emperor say this. In this way, wouldn’t she become the prime minister? As long as she handled the task during this period and satisfied the emperor, she would likely go from acting prime minister to formal prime minister.

Chen Mingxia, who had a wishful thinking in her heart, quickly bowed to answer the order and promised to assist the emperor in handling the government affairs well.

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Okay, the first imperial edict of the Military Affairs Office is to select the imperial envoy to strictly investigate the case in Henan!"

Chen Mingxia quickly bowed to answer the order: "Your Majesty, how dare you ask the imperial envoy whom you chose?"

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many types of imperial envoys. Now the governor who became the local chief was a kind of imperial envoy. There were also various supervisors who were granted during the Chongzhen period, which was also considered an imperial envoy. In fact, according to regulations, the provincial inspectors of the Censorate were also an imperial envoy. There were also some general managers of the Maritime Commission, the guards of various banknotes, the weaving and fabrication stationed in Suzhou, Jiangnan, Hangzhou, etc., which can be regarded as imperial envoys. These imperial envoys are not necessarily of the rank of the chief inspectors, and there are also seventh rank of the inspectors, but they all have one characteristic: those who can become imperial envoys must be the emperor's confidants.

This is also very simple. The imperial envoy is an official sent by the emperor to the place to solve one or several problems. The emperor was afraid of being deceived by those local officials, so he naturally had to find someone he could trust to take on.

The case in Henan this time is very big, and it will definitely involve the senior official in the court. That's why Chen Mingxia asked this question, who is the emperor to use to give you a clear letter!

Zhu Hongsan lowered his head and thought about it. Now all forces in the court and China are confused. No matter who goes to be an imperial envoy, they will be restrained by the bosses of several factions in the court, so it is really difficult to choose this candidate.

Zhu Hongsan pondered for a long time and said, "Sorry King Zhu Yuan to be this imperial envoy!"

Zhu Hongsan now has five adult sons. The fourth son Zhu Yuan is the daughter of Chongzhen and the son of Zhu Mai, the princess of the fallen country. Because Zhu Yuan is in the blood of two generations of emperors, his status is extremely valuable among Zhu Hongsan's sons. Of course, because his status is too expensive, he also loses the possibility of competing for the throne.

The huge Ma family stood behind the crown prince Zhu Hai. Zhu Hongsan came to the stage to take the banner of Chongzhen's failure to govern the country, so he changed his name to him. These two items reduced the possibility of Zhu Yuan inheriting the throne to zero. If Zhu Hongsan chose Zhu Yuan as his successor, then the legitimacy of his reign of the country and becoming emperor back then would be gone, so Zhu Yuan could not become the heir at all.

Zhu Yuan himself also understood this very well. When he became an adult at the age of fourteen, he immediately surrendered to the crown prince Zhu Hai. Although Zhu Yuan could not be the heir, he had the blood of emperors of two dynasties, so Zhu Yuan still had some influence among some old and young people in the Ming Dynasty. Because of this, Zhu Hai also wanted to attract more people, so he naturally treated this fourth brother with great courtesy.

Treatment is favorable, but Zhu Hai did not want to see Zhu Yuan grow into a force, which would pose too much threat to himself. Now hearing that his father wanted to send the fourth brother to be the imperial envoy, Zhu Hai quickly stood up and said, "Father, the ancestral system has no such thing as a prince leaving the capital. Let the fourth brother be the imperial envoy and the ancestral system be incompatible!"

Zhu Hongsan heard Zhu Hai say this and sneered: "Crown Prince, I didn't expect you to have an argument with your teacher and start talking about the ancestral system! Since you oppose your fourth brother going out, then okay, I ordered you to be the imperial envoy as a prince, and you will be satisfied!"

Zhu Hai heard that he would be the imperial envoy as a prince. He was the prince. If he became the prince, wouldn’t he be deposed? What’s more, he left Beijing and left his father’s side, and he didn’t know how his younger brothers would drug him! Thinking of this, Zhu Hai quickly bowed and replied, “Father, all his son Menglang, and the fourth brother is the good candidate for this imperial envoy!”

The seven cabinet masters and all the ministers were sent home by Zhu Hongsan. Chen Mingxia, who is in charge of the government, is still a vocal worm. In this way, the imperial edict of using the fourth son of the emperor Zhu Yuan as the imperial envoy was passed.

At this time, it was already noon in the court meeting. Zhu Hongsan couldn't stand the gout attack, and the court meeting ended hastily. Those who were prevented from being defeated by the elders and the ministers also went out in a sedan chair and went home in a dilemma.

The sedan chairman at the door was stunned when he saw his master coming out. When he entered just now, he looked like a slutty person. He was not dressed in a mess and was sad. The most unlucky ones were the seven masters and thirteen ministers who came out and even lost their official uniforms, hats and tablets, and they all became white dicks.

Ma Mingyuan, wearing a moon-white shirt, looked at Qu Shisi standing behind him and asked coldly: "Qu Qitian, is this the result you hope to get?"

Qu Shisi was robbed by Ma Mingyuan and was also very angry. According to his plan, today he would not say that Ma Mingyuan would be eliminated, but he would also let the Chu Party lose several generals. However, he did not expect that the fire at the city gate would affect the fish in Chiyu, and in the end he was even lost to his official position.

Although Qu Shixi was quite regretful, he was stubborn. He heard Ma Mingyuan say this and snorted coldly: "Hmph, today this matter is all caused by your Chu Party!"

When Ma Mingyuan heard that you, Qu Shizi, had some reason, and now he was playing around and making trouble. Ma Mingyuan turned around and said angrily: "Q Shizi, why? Are you not convinced?"

"Ma Mingyuan, why is I wrong about it? Your Chu Party is a disaster to the country and the people! Today, the situation is beyond my control. Why don't you make Ma Mingyuan look good!"

Ma Mingyuan was already angry. He heard that Qu Shixi was not talking about humans, and he was so angry that he had to start a fight.

Seeing that these Pavilion Masters were about to fight in front of Chengtian Gate, Feng Ziyong, who was from Pavilion Masters, stood up and spoke.

"Two, now is the time for the scholars to be in crisis, why do you still have to take action? Are you still not in a hurry when you are in a hurry?"

Feng Ziyong's meaning is very simple. Now that the cabinet is about to be disbanded, you old guys are going to go home to farm and are still fighting here. Can you think of some constructive ideas?

Is Feng Ziyong a duke or the four major strategists who started Zhu Hongsan. After following Zhu Hongsan for the second time, he naturally has the right to persuade him to fight. After hearing Feng Ziyong say this, Ma Mingyuan and Qu Shixi and the other two snorted coldly to each other and returned to their own sedan chair to get the sedan chair home.

The imperial chiefs were removed from office and went home, but some middle-level officials were not so happy. They had to return to their yamen office. Although their superiors changed from cabinet to military affairs, their functions did not change.

Zhu Hongsan returned to the harem to rest, and then had a headache for the candidate for the imperial envoy. He just proposed that the fourth son Zhu Yuan was an imperial envoy was completely expedient. The fourth son Zhu Yuan was only fifteen years old this year. According to the later generations, how could he be the imperial envoy well? However, it was really difficult to choose this candidate at the court meeting. It was too difficult to choose an imperial envoy who was honest and upright, obedient and law-abiding, and not a member of the major forces in the court.

Zhu Hongsan sat on the dragon throne and thought for a while, and said to Li Chengen: "Old Li, go and bring the list of low-level censors and Imperial College students. I want to see!"

Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to ask someone to get a list, hoping that he could choose the right person among these people.

Li Chengen was in charge of the East Factory, so he naturally had a list of all the officials in the entire Beijing. After hearing what the emperor said, he quickly ordered someone to pick it up.

Zhu Hongsan took the list of low-level censors and looked at his hometown. He was either Huguang or Jiangsu or Zhejiang. Needless to say, Huguang was all disciples of Ma Mingyuan, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all disciples of the Donglin Party.
