Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 14 Court Trial (seeking all support)
"Everyone who loves you is free from courtesy and peace." Zhu Yousong also felt a sense of enthusiasm at this time. It seems that the king's heart is not lost, and the minister's heart can still be dealt with.

Li Zhan, Minister of Taichang Temple, thought it was all right. Although the impeachment of Jiang Riguang and Lu Daqi failed, he at least showed that he was on the side of Ma Shiying's faction with practical actions.It's just that the emperor's reaction today is too strange, making people unpredictable. Just now, he was almost convicted for his words, so there is no danger.It seems that choosing a side sometimes requires not only courage, but also the courage to impeach the boss at the court. In addition, you have to be mentally prepared to be convicted for your words. It is not easy!

Li Zhan thought wildly and secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his robe, knelt down along with the crowd, sang a few words of praise for Zhu Yousong, and then stood in the row of ministers with a relaxed mind and body.

Zhu Yousong had already paid attention to it. If he wanted to clean the factory guards, overthrow the Ma Party, rectify the court, and strengthen the imperial power, he had to tear a hole from this fold.

So he said: "Although I will no longer pursue the matter of abolishing the establishment, if someone uses this matter to stir up troubles, cause chaos in the court, form cliques for personal gain, and make friends for traitors, in order to achieve ulterior motives, I will not tolerate it!" Zhu Yousong As he spoke, his eyes shot straight at one of the ministers like two sharp swords, "Li Zhan, are you guilty?"

Zhu Yousong came up with these few sentences again, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the officials, especially Li Zhanhaoxuan, who was scared to pee.Just stunned, he hurried out of the queue and knelt down for the second time. In fact, this was the third time he knelt down in the court today, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I don't know what crime I have committed?"

"You still dare to quibble, who is behind your script?" Zhu Yousong said sharply.

This sentence was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to Li Zhan, and he panicked. Could it be that the emperor knew about what he and Ma Lao were secretly agitating?But I can't admit anything.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have never been instructed by anyone. I am just loyal to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will learn from you."

"You don't cry when you don't see the official. Just now I asked you about the abolition of the establishment. When I asked you, I didn't know how a Taichang Temple minister learned about Jiang and Lu's two lovers' proposals. It was obviously a temporary acceptance." Instigated, right or wrong?"

Li Zhan thought that the emperor said that he was a small official, so it was impossible for him to know about such a major event, so he quickly argued, "Your Majesty is wise, and I have been wronged. Arrogance and abolishment."

"Hahaha..." Zhu Yousong laughed loudly, "That's it. Since you knew about this a long time ago, why did you think of impeachment now?"

"Ah, he..." Li Zhan thought that the weaving was flawless, and wanted to be coaxed to pass, but unexpectedly he jumped into Zhu Yousong's trap. Then he remembered that this script was written in the last two days, and he was speechless for a while. .

"Say, there are many loopholes, it's hard to justify it?" Zhu Yousong said and looked at Zheng Hongkui, "Come here, take this guy into custody and hand it over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation, and Zheng Aiqing will be in charge of the trial. Remember, don't wrong good people, but don't Let the bad guys go, understand?"

Zheng Hongkui hurried out of class to salute, "I understand, I must investigate and ask the truth, and speak impartially."

At this moment, two captains in Jinyi came over to hold Li Zhan in and drove him out of the court. Li Zhan stared at Ma Shiying while calling out his grievances. Going out of work to intercede for the subordinate officials?

But Li Zhan is already in a mess, so it’s no wonder he is cowardly. There are a few who are not afraid of Jinyiwei, have their own prisons, and are directly responsible to the emperor. They don’t even have the right to intervene. Layers of skin, but to be honest, how can I have my own life!
But the more he behaved like this, the more Ma Shiying avoided his gaze, and said to himself, stupid pig, if the old man came forward to speak for you at this time, wouldn't there be no silver 300 taels here?Thanks to the fact that you are still a dignified third grade, where did your talents go?

Zhu Yousong was the imperial court trial Li Zhan, but in fact he stabbed Ma Shiying like a knife. The sudden change of the emperor's sex was unexpected to him, and he never expected that Zhu Yousong, who has always been grateful to him, could see the trick from the book. , This move in front of all civil and military officials made him feel like a light on his back.

What was even more disturbing at this time was that his son Ma Luan, the commander of Jinyiwei, now understands why the emperor hastily ordered Zheng Hongkui to return to Beijing and take up the post of Jinyiwei. The second-in-command was in charge, young and bloody, he felt that the emperor was going to do something bad to their Ma family.

Thinking about this, Ma Luan was afraid of resentment and anger in his heart, and secretly cursed, you are not our father and son, can you sit in this position?Are you ungrateful and repaying your favor to force us to rebel?
Ma Luan's blood is rushing, but he also knows that this is a forbidden place in the imperial court, and it has a certain size. Besides, how dare he make a mistake with his father, so he glanced at Ma Shiying from the side. Ma Shiying's old face is ugly, but he doesn't seem to see it. Like him, without any hint, Ma Luan had to hold back.

Zhu Yousong's morning court this time is completely different from the usual ones. The usual Zhu Yousong sat lazily on the dragon chair, listening to Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying in everything, wishing to end the morning court early and return to the palace to enjoy himself, but today Zhu Yousong was uncharacteristically, Putting on an attitude of making great efforts to govern and rectify the court, he even promulgated the edict of guilt and dismissed the ladies, and then governed the government.

Sensitive ministers have already noticed that the emperor condemned Li Zhan and handed it directly to the Jinyiwei as the imperial case, and even passed the Jinyiwei to order Ma Luan to pass the oral order to Zheng Hongkui.

At this moment, not to mention that Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa did not dare to speak nonsense, even Donglintang, which has always been good at pointing out current problems, was silent.

Li Zhan was taken away by Jin Yiwei in this way, leaving a sound of "wrongedness" all the way, none of the civil and military officials came out to intercede for him, and the whole court was in awe.

Seeing Li Zhan's back disappearing from sight, although Ma Shiying didn't dare or was inconvenient to go out to intercede, but he had a premonition that something was wrong, because he concluded from Li Zhan's eyes and expression of crying for grievances that this was a weak bone, and he didn't have to do anything in Jinyiwei Things can confess him as the mastermind behind the scenes. What on earth does this stupid king want to do?
Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being ungrateful. This is Nanjing under my rule, not Beijing where your Zhu family is deeply rooted. Luan'er is right. Since I can help you to this position, I can help you Pull it down!
Thinking of this, Ma Shiying turned his head, and his former domineering nature came up again. He turned his head and gave Ma Luan who was standing behind him on the right side a wink.
Ma Luan raised his hand and made a gesture to the back. The Jinyi guards at the gate of the court hall were all his confidantes, and he had already explained it. Seeing this gesture, he nodded and left like a gust of wind...
