Chapter 1037 What should happen, has happened
Wu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and cursed: "Ma Shiying, have I ever said or expressed this intention? How dare you arrange and slander me?"
When Ma Shiying heard this, he was really scared. He realized that he was a little proud. It would be fine if he knew about such speculation, but how could he say it in front of Wang Yilin?
But Ma Shiying also felt wronged. Didn’t you clearly ask me to explain this to Wang Yilin?
Ma Shiying knelt in front of Wu Zheng with a bitter face and did not dare to respond, and did not even dare to distinguish.
Because of this, the more you debate, the less you will be, the more you will be.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zheng frowned, "Old Ma, how old are you? Don't kneel down at any time."
Ma Shiying was overjoyed when she heard this. Wu Zheng called out Old Ma, which made Ma Shiying quickly realize that Wu Zheng was not really angry, so naturally there would be no such thing as killing people to silence them.
So he raised his head and smiled and said, "What he said just now is just a subordinate who speculates, and he must not take it seriously... Master, please take it as Ma said casually."
At this time, Mo Zhinian rushed over and asked anxiously when he saw Wu Zheng: "I just heard that the ministers supported the Fengtian Palace today... the prince did not agree to ascend the throne?"
Wu Zheng smiled and shook his head.
Mo Zhinian finally breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest and said, "That's good, that's good! This time I'm so anxious. If the prince agrees, the bad debt of the Ministry of Revenue will be brought back... Uh, don't get me wrong. I have no intention of stopping the prince from ascending to the treasure. I just think that this is not a good time."
"Don't worry, Mr. Mo, I am not so confused yet."
Wang Yilin asked in confusion: "Mr. Mo is talking about the bad debts of the Ministry of Revenue Money House... But what does this have to do with whether the prince should agree to the throne?"
Mo Zhinian glanced at Wu Zheng, and Wu Zheng nodded slightly.
Mo Zhinian then said: "General Wang, this time the prince came to the capital at the invitation of the princess. This bad debt has nothing to do with the prince. The prince can wipe the butt for the court... Uh, please forgive me for my vulgar words."
Wu Zheng waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay."
Mo Zhinian continued: "If you can wipe it clean, it means that the prince will give it to the people. The people will be grateful to the prince, and the court will owe the prince favors. Even if it can't wipe it clean, the prince is just an outsider, and no one can blame him for the prince. But now if the prince agrees to support his ministers, then the affairs of the court will become his own family affairs, and this bad debt will also become the prince's bad debt. If it is wiped clean, it is the prince's duty. If it cannot wipe it clean, the people will blame the prince... More than 20 million taels, it is not my old exaggeration to say that this bad debt is enough to drag down the general's mansion!"
Only then did Wang Yilin understand Mo Zhinian’s worries and fully understand that these people are all human spirits!
Just as it was confirmed by Ma Shiying's words, there was a guard outside the door reporting: "Report to the prince, chief minister, and grand tutor, please see him."
"please."
Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule joined forces to advance.
As soon as he came in, Huang Daozhou bowed and apologized: "Huang was guilty and was in a hurry and almost got involved in the prince's disloyalty and injustice! He also asked the prince to punish him."
Qian Sule also said: "Wu Zheng, this matter cannot be blamed on the chief assistant. I also lost my composure at that time."
Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's over, but fortunately, there are no consequences. The chief minister and his father-in-law are also doing it for me. If you care, you will be in trouble. What's the crime? Please sit down, Mr. Mo will sit down."
Huang Daozhou bowed and thanked: "Mr. Huang will not sit down. There is a lot of trouble in the palace that I have to rush back to deal with... Here, I will report to the prince that the eldest princess has ascended the throne!"
Wang Yilin stared at Wu Zheng, then Ma Shiying, and suddenly realized in his heart that he was a fool in front of these two people.
Ma Shiying stood up in a tidy manner, and Wu Zheng suddenly withdrew his troops from the palace, and he retreated as soon as he said that he would retreat without leaving any soldiers. It was obvious that he had figured out the gains and losses. It was not difficult to guess that Ye Xiao, who was imprisoned, made another move. The key point was that the eldest princess had to do it and did not do it. Otherwise, with the emperor's tyrannical nature at that time, he would never take into account any brother-sister relationships.
But Ma Shiying knew very well that at this time, he could never say the wrong thing anymore, so he chose to shut up.
"What should happen eventually happened." Wu Zheng was silent for a while and sighed softly, "Your Majesty... Uh, is he okay?"
Everyone understands that the "Your Majesty" mentioned by Wu Zheng does not refer to the newly ascended eldest princess, but Zhu Cilang.
Huang Daozhou sighed and replied, "Your Majesty has issued an order to confer him the title of King of Danyang."
"King Danyang?" Wu Zheng said in surprise, "Is he just a prince?"
"Your Majesty originally wanted to appoint him as King Ning, but the ministers unanimously opposed it... Your Majesty had no choice but to obey."
The ministers naturally have to oppose it. The so-called "cutting the grass without eradicating the roots" will lead to endless troubles. It is no longer possible to force the new king to kill his elder brother at this time. Then it is safest to suppress the old king to the bottom.
I think if the eldest princess hadn't insisted, perhaps the ministers would have advised them to be deposed as commoners or banned.
Wu Zheng nodded slightly and sighed: "I think so, with the eldest princess...uh, your majesty's nature, I think I'm not so heartless."
"Maybe... it may not be like this." Ma Shiying didn't know if she was taking the wrong medicine or was losing her composure for a while. Suddenly, this sentence made everyone look at him.
Wu Zheng said angrily: "Ma Shiying, what do you mean? Do you think that this king is not aware of people, or is the new king's heart that he has been interested in getting involved in the throne?"
When Wu Zheng scolded, Huang Daozhou's eyes flashed, and a trace of understanding floated in his heart. Perhaps, Wu Zheng's words were not cursing Ma Shiying, but reminding himself and the Grand Tutor?
Ma Shiying was not as cowardly as before at this time. He looked straight into Wu Zheng's eyes and said, "With the prince's ability, have you never doubted the strangeness of today's affairs?"
Wu Zheng shouted sternly: "I want to be so indulged in you!"
Ma Shiying bowed and said, "regardless of whether the prince doubts what happened today, as the prince's aide, Ma has the obligation to express his doubts in his heart."
Wu Zheng laughed in anger, "Okay, okay, the chief minister, the tutor, let me listen to how this Ma Yaocao arranges right and wrong... Ma Yaocao, I warn you, if you are talking nonsense, don't blame me for punishing you for being disrespectful."
Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule were indeed a little angry, Ma Shiying spoke in disrespectful words. They were very respectful to Zhu Ma Shiying. Ma Shiying suddenly spoke disrespectful words to Zhu Ma Shiyu, which made the two look not very good-looking, especially Qian Sule. If it weren't for Wu Zheng's presence, they might have slaughtered them immediately.
