Ma Mingyuan turned black and white here. As the cabinet master, Qu Shisi secretly curled his lips. You, Ma Lao Er, can really brag. You, obviously killed seven out of ten gentry in Jiangsu, but you just want to say that the gentry cooperated with the investigation. It's really sweet-mouthed Ma Mingyuan!

Qu Shisi was scolding him a lot, but Zhu Hongsan liked Ma Mingyuan to say this. What do those low-level officials and the people know? You can sit down your job honestly. What do you think about for the country and the people? Can you think about it? Now let you see how rich and powerful my empire is. Isn’t it good to be a big country and a people?

Zhu Hongsan came from later generations and knew how important propaganda is to the stability of a regime. So at the beginning, Zhu Hongsan decided to report good news but not bad news at the Grand Court meeting. It’s very simple. What do you people know? Isn’t it good to live in the illusion of a strong country and peace in the world? Even if you know that the country is full of holes and dangers, what can you do? We elites still need to come to govern the country. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan stipulated that all the reports of the Grand Court meeting twice a month should be written into the palace newspaper, and then published in the world, so that every literate person can experience the great glory of the country.

As the chief assistant, Ma Mingyuan was naturally the first to start the blow. After Ma Mingyuan finished speaking, it was Tong Yangjia's turn. Tong Yangjia was in charge of military affairs, and naturally magnified military victory countless times. How many counties did the southwest fight against Myanmar? How many naval battles were won by Nanyang and the Dutch, Zheng Chenggong on the coast of Fujian had already been conquered by His Majesty and was preparing to surrender unconditionally, etc.

Then there is Wang Yunchang, who is in charge of finance and taxation. Naturally, Da Kuatt praised the country's finances and how high the country's welfare has been to the people. The people in the world are grateful for His Majesty's kindness. The next one is Fu Wenlong, and Lao Fu is in charge of punishment. Naturally, he said that the number of death row prisoners in the world is decreasing, and it will soon reach the level of no death row prisoners in the Zhenguan rule. This is all your contribution to the emperor. Now it is not far from the great rule of the world.

The next one is Feng Ziyong, who is in charge of the officials. Old Feng stood up and said that more than 100,000 officials in the world work diligently to serve His Majesty. At the same time, because of the significant increase in salary, officials can no longer live well if they need to embezzle them. There will never be any more corrupt officials in the previous Ming Dynasty. Next is Li Zhi, who is in charge of the Ministry of Works, and naturally boasts about the fact that several warships were launched this month. The national industrial and commercial situation is not small, but great.

The last one is Qu Shishi, who is in charge of the Censorate and the Ministry of Rites, and is responsible for diplomacy and education. Qu Shishishi didn't want to brag about the emperor so shamelessly, but if you don't brag about what you want to do? Don't you keep in line with the emperor? Do you still want to be a senior in this cabinet? There is no way, Qu Shishi can only stand up and brag about it against his conscience, and all the vassal states in the world surrender to His Majesty the Emperor, and the education situation across the country is very good, etc.

Fang Fengnian stood in the Shangshu team and listened to the flattering words of the seven cabinet masters, and felt disgusting. As a senior official, Fang Fengnian naturally knew what the country was like now. The new policy was completely promoted in Jiangnan by using national violence. Many gentry in many places were forced to lose their fortunes. They achieved some military victory, but they were not as big as Tong Yangjia said. At least Fang Fengnian knew that Wang Jinbao from Nanyang suffered a loss last month and suffered heavy losses outside Batavia.

As for punishment, the administration is even more nonsense. There is no death row prisoner in the world with hundreds of millions of people? Officials hold heavy power, so can they all be as unscrupulous as Hai Rui? But Fang Fengnian knew that there was nothing he could do. What could he do in the whole country?

In Fang Fengnian's opinion, this country is sick, and the cause is very simple, that is, the monarchy has lost control and he can do whatever he wants. However, Ma Mingyuan, as the representative of the prime minister's power, did not play a role in restricting the monarchy, but instead acted against the will of the emperor to follow the emperor. Therefore, today Fang Fengnian is preparing to make big moves to pull the deviant country back to the right path.

As the emperor, Zhu Hongsan knew what these ministers were saying, but this was also what Zhu Hongsan acquiesced. After all, if there are any difficulties in the country, it is better not to let ordinary people know too much, which makes the people angry and unbearable. Zhu Hongsan saw those low-level officials hearing that the country is so prosperous and strong, and he was very satisfied with Zhu Hongsan seeing this.

After the cabinet master finished speaking, the etiquette officer of the Honglu Temple shouted loudly: "If you have a copy, you will leave the court without a copy!"

According to normal procedures, all officials should now say together: "I have no basis!" Then the emperor announced his retirement from the court. Then all officials returned to their yamen to start working. The cabinet masters entered the Qianqing Palace and prepared for the Wu Dynasty. This was the place that really decided the major affairs of the country.

Zhu Hongsan originally thought that today was the same as usual, and all the officials bowed and left the court, but when they thought that as soon as the etiquette officer finished speaking, someone stood up and said, "I have the foundation!"

Zhu Hongsan saw that the person was Fang Fengnian, the Minister of Taxation Department, and didn't know what he had to do? Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to nod, and the little eunuch beside him shouted: "Look!"

After leaving work, Fang Fengnian bowed to the steps. It was only more than ten meters away from Zhu Hongsan, and he could already hear the emperor's words.

Zhu Hongsan endured the pain in his legs and asked, "What's wrong with you, Shangshu Fang?"

Fang Fengnian said loudly: "I impeach Ma Mingyuan!"

Fang Fengnian said this and was stunned. Fang Fengnian was the Minister of Taxation. The Ministry of Taxation came from the former Ministry of Revenue and was managed by Ma Mingyuan. Fang Fengnian was naturally a good relationship with Ma Mingyuan. Moreover, Fang Fengnian was still a scholar-official in Huguang and had a good relationship with the Ma family for generations. He was a typical Chu party. Now he stood up to oppose his boss, which is really surprising.

Fang Fengnian ignored the rest and stood in front of the steps to recite his memorial. Fang Fengnian listed eight major crimes of Ma Mingyuan: First, expelling Ma Jiyuan, with insidious means. Are you still worthy of being the chief minister to his close relatives? Second, he violated the ancestral system and changed the national law that scholars did not pay taxes without authorization; Third, he appointed Pan Tongchun, Liu Danian, Ding Xin and other close friends to control the government affairs; Fourth, he used his own power and did not look down on the court. The court officials feared Ma Mingyuan more than His Majesty; Fifth, he used the emperor's trust in him to control the ministers of various departments; Sixth, he destroyed the censors, blocked the way of speaking, and hated the upright people; Seventh, he planned the provincial examination for his children, built a mansion in Wuchang, and accepted bribes from civil and military ministers; Eighth, he used his power for personal gain and occupied the land of the Taishang Emperor's Mausoleum in his hometown in Huguang.

Fang Fengnian's first seven articles were basically useless. The first one was to drive Ma Jiyuan out of force. The first one to fire at Ma Jiyuan was the Guangdong Party. The second one was not right to violate the ancestral system. The new policy was secretly implemented by the emperor, and Ma Mingyuan was just an executor. However, Fang Fengnian knew that the emperor was the mastermind, but he just dared not say it. The third article appointed a confidant, but those ministers in the dynasty had no confidant? Are you Fang Fengnian? The fourth article did not have a court, and Ma Mingyuan was the chief minister, so he represented the court. The fifth article was even more irresponsible to the six ministries. Ma Mingyuan was the chief minister. How could he work if the divisions were disobedient? Article 6 He hated the upright people, who was an upright person? Are you Fang Fengnian? Article 7 Use your power to seek benefits for yourself. Isn't that official in the world like this?

If the above seven items are all about Fang Fengnian's saving chicken feathers to make money, and in order to get Ma Mingyuan to make money, this eighth item is the real killer that Fang Fengnian wants to kill Ma Mingyuan.

The emperor was born in Wuchang, Huguang, and the emperor's son was naturally from Wuchang, Huguang. A few years ago, the emperor personally issued an order to repair the tomb for his cheaper son. Ma Mingyuan was also from Wuchang, and when he occupied land in his hometown, he would inevitably have more or less conflicts with the tomb of the Emperor.

Ma Mingyuan was furious when he saw Fang Fengnian standing up to impeach him. At first, he was full of anger. When his elder brother told him to take care of him in the same year, he also took in Fang Fengnian and gave him an important position as the Minister of Taxation. Now Fang Fengnian couldn't help but burst into tears, but instead stood up to oppose him, so Ma Mingyuan was very angry.

When he heard Fang Fengnian recite the memorial, Ma Mingyuan turned from anger to disdain. Unexpectedly, Fang Fengnian only had these two tricks, and wanted to punish him for these few charges? Ma Mingyuan had thought about refuting Fang Fengnian for a while, and a new policy of confrontation, shaking flags and shouting for those dead landlords, so that Fang Fengnian would be doomed.

But when Ma Mingyuan heard the last one of Fang Fengnian, he was frightened. Unexpectedly, Fang Fengnian was so cruel. This was not about taking down himself, but about his own life. Encroaching the imperial tomb is a serious crime, and no matter which dynasty or generation, it was a crime of losing his head. The most important thing is that Ma Mingyuan is always away, and the Ma family is dealing with these things in his hometown. Even Ma Mingyuan himself doesn't know whether he invaded the imperial tomb or how much land he occupied if he occupied.

Ma Mingyuan heard Fang Fengnian say this and quickly left work to defend himself: "Your Majesty, this Fang Fengnian is a sarcastic person. It should be that the previous Japanese officials scolded him for the unfavorable collection of spring taxes. Unexpectedly, Fang Fengnian held a grudge in his heart and wanted to take revenge on him. Please investigate clearly!"

As soon as Ma Mingyuan's speech fell, Yang Zhongji, the left assistant censor of the Censorate, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I will report it! Half a month ago, Ma Mingyuan's only son, Ma Shaojun, somehow, ran on the street outside Zhengyangmen, and stepped on the imperial road many times. The censor of the city inspector saw it, please investigate it clearly!"
