Chapter 506 Grounded?

The little emperor was a little surprised and asked:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Ma Guogong said angrily:
"He is a military general who actually intervenes in our political affairs, and even said that he would take soldiers to raid our house if he didn't listen to him. Your Majesty, listen to his words. Does he still have His Majesty and the dignity of the Song Dynasty in his heart?"

"What does he want you to do?" The little emperor leaned forward and asked curiously.

Ma Guogong choked up all of a sudden and didn't speak.

The little emperor suddenly remembered what Princess Huaizhen had said to him when she came today, saying that Duke Ma had deliberately withheld Xie Yuan's memorial to prevent him from reading it.

Then he said:

"Uncle Ma Guo, I know that you have always been at odds, but you are all my relatives, and I value her as well as you. You just put up with each other for my sake?"

Only then did Ma Guogong think about his speech, and said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, this is not a matter of forbearance. He is a general and has his own responsibilities. How can he overstep his authority to manage our civil servants? If this continues, won't the Song Dynasty only listen to him alone?!

Your Majesty, if you allow him to be domineering and domineering like this, I'm afraid he will dare to take power and rebel in the future, Your Majesty..."

The little emperor felt that Ma Guogong was targeting Xie Yuan and making alarmist remarks, so he turned a blind eye and said:

"Hey~ How could it be so serious... How about this, I will warn her and make her... grounded for two days?"

Ma Guogong's face was a little embarrassed, and he thought to himself why the emperor was so partial, did he really think that Xie Yuan was his own?
Ban this punishment?Is it used to punish officials? !So he yelled again unwillingly:
"Your Majesty! This is a major national event and cannot be sloppy!"

The little emperor hesitated for a moment, then held up a finger and said, "Then...then the whole month of confinement. Is this all right?"

"This……"

Ma Guogong had just uttered a word from his throat when he was interrupted by the little emperor, saying:

"Okay, okay...Let's leave it at that, it's not a big deal. Someone, call the Hushi General Xie Yuan, I have something to say."

"Yes."

Ma Guogong turned his head and saw that the little eunuch had already received the order.When he turned his head again, he looked at the little emperor on the seat and was speechless.

This little emperor is really... Sometimes I'm glad that he is stupid and easy to talk.But now he was so mad at his stupidity!

Don't ordinary people understand the point?A military general who is good at monopolizing power and persecuting civil servants is a taboo in any dynasty.Why didn't the little emperor listen at all?

He knelt there with eyes flashing in surprise, he didn't understand such a serious statement, so what did he understand?
"Your Majesty, he has military power. If he doesn't limit it, he may cause trouble." Ma Guogong said.

The little emperor replied indifferently, saying:

"It's okay, my father has already made arrangements for me before he died, so I'm not afraid of her rebellion."

Ma Guogong's eyes flashed, he was even more puzzled, and asked: "What arrangement?"

"She..." The little emperor paused, recalling the ferocious expression on his father's old emperor entrusting him to him when he was dying, so he held back the words behind him and said, "I can't tell you, it won't work." That's it. In short, don't worry, Uncle Guo..."

Ma Guogong's whole face was twisted into a lump, and he said anxiously:
"How can this old minister be at ease, Your Majesty, you... The old minister's daughter is the queen, and the old minister's family is only thinking about His Majesty's country and society. What can you not say to the old minister? Back then..."

Ma Guogong chattered endlessly, reminiscing about hardships and expressing loyalty all the time.

The little emperor couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart.

Older people just talk...especially the veterans left behind by his father, the old emperor. reliance and trust.As if I'm afraid that I don't value them...

The little emperor listened silently. After listening for a while, he finally couldn't bear his noise. He was just about to tell the inside story of Xie Yuan's identity. Just at this moment, the inner prisoner reported that Xie Yuan had come.

He finally got a savior, and quickly interrupted Ma Guogong, saying:
"Quick pass, fast pass..."

Ma Guogong stopped his mouth reluctantly, stood up from the ground, and waited for Xie Yuan to come in with a mature and solemn face.

After Xie Yuan came in, he swayed forward and knelt down, clasped his fists at the sitting emperor, and shouted long live neatly and neatly.

Xie Yuan was young, with a straight body and neat legs. He stopped talking after shouting long live, and even the rhythm and posture of kneeling were clean and neat, which was pleasing to the eye.

Compared with Ma Guogong next to him, he really fits the little emperor's wishes.Especially after listening to Ma Guogong's "back then" for so long...

To be honest, he couldn't believe it, she was really a woman... This behavior was really unbelievable.

"This... Uncle Ma Guo said, you forced the civil servants in the meeting hall to do something? Is there such a thing?"

Xie Yuan lowered his head slightly, and the voice panel said coldly:

"Your Majesty, I have received your imperial decree for your imperial edict, and they need to issue an official document, but they refuse to do so. I have gone to carry out the imperial edict for your majesty."

Ma Guogong was in a hurry, and before the little emperor could speak, he said angrily:

"Full of nonsense, when am I going to push back and forth?! Each government office has its own rules and regulations. We need you, a general, to point fingers!"

"Your Majesty, the city defense cannot be delayed. They have wasted a lot of time fighting for power and profit. If some soldiers invade the capital at this time, what will be used to protect His Majesty's safety?"

"You are alarmist! It is obvious that you are persecuting court officials for your own selfishness!"

"Delaying and failing to do so is to disobey the order and disrespect. What crime is there for me to take His Majesty's order and do my duty faithfully in order to complete the errand?"

"You! You!..." Ma Guogong pointed at her angrily, but was speechless.

I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and my health is not good. Looking at it like that, I'm almost going to be pissed off...

The little emperor quickly said:
"Okay, okay, stop arguing... It's all right, it's all right. How about this, get rid of the concubine, and give Uncle Ma Guo a face, and you will be grounded for a month."

Xie Yuan raised his head abruptly, frowned in disbelief, and asked eagerly:

"Your Majesty, where should I be punished for my mistakes?!"

"Ah...you're right, but Uncle Ma Guo is so old and is the queen's father, you just let him step aside...for fifteen days, fifteen days is fine, right?" Said in a negotiating tone.

Xie Yuan hadn't spoken yet, but Ma Guogong was even more angry at this time, and said angrily:

"Your Majesty, this is a major national event, how can it be such a joke?! He is obviously using the public to seek personal gain, and is good at arranging power!"

"Ten days, okay?!! That's it. Let's all step back." The little emperor rolled his eyes, got up and ran away, and complained softly when he was done, "I'm so annoying."
