The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

"check?"

"How do you want to check?"

Zhang Mao looked at Tu Xun, the censor of the capital, with an unkind expression and shouted coldly.

"This is what happened in the forbidden area of ​​the palace!"

"How do you want to investigate, Tu Xun? Do you want to lead people to search the entire Forbidden City?"

"Who the hell gave Tu Xun the courage to say such a thing? Do you still have His Majesty the Emperor in your eyes? Do you still know the duties of a minister?"

The old man started scolding his mother directly because he was qualified to do so!

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials turned green.

Ma Wensheng also received the news. He neither agreed nor objected, choosing to sit on the sidelines.

Zhang Mao spoke carelessly and said some extremely heart-wrenching words.

Ma Wensheng and Zhang Mao are so similar in a sense!

The key is that the place where this case occurred is the forbidden area of ​​​​Nanyuan, which is an out-and-out forbidden area of ​​the palace!

After Zhang Yong was forced to panic, he finally became smart and grasped the key to the problem!

He has been in charge of the civil service for many years, and he has no regard for human relations. He has always been very strict in the inspection of internal and external officials. Once, he even eliminated more than 2,000 pilgrim officials. For this, he was hated by many people. He was an out-and-out official. The lonely minister was not allowed to enter the cabinet for life, so he took another path.

Especially the five ministers who had spoken just now, their expressions instantly became extremely ugly.

Seeing Ma Wensheng speak and the second "true king" end, Zhang Mao also smiled.

"How can the Governor accuse someone of innocence out of thin air..."

"Okay!" came an old voice, "You are so grown up, the Governor, why are you still playing these little tricks?"

Ma Wensheng glanced at Han Wen, Zhang Sheng, Liu Daxia and others indifferently, but didn't say much.

And Tang Hao, the venomous and reckless man, is also a little troublemaker!

"I am indeed deaf, but you old man has started banging on the table. Even if I am deaf, I can't hear you!"

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it! Then let's continue the discussion. How will the Nanyuan Tiger Case be decided? Do you civil servants and gentry want to investigate? Should I leave it to you to investigate, and then hold a three-division trial or something? By the way, Let’s search the Forbidden City together until you, the civil servants and gentry, are satisfied?”

But on the other hand, if this happens, the Eight Tiger eunuchs who bewitched the emperor can be eradicated in one fell swoop, which is a good thing for the country!

Therefore, Ma Wensheng was not prepared to speak at all. Success or failure would all depend on God's will.

Today's court meeting is obviously an action initiated by Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, to eradicate the Eight Tigers eunuchs.

"It turns out that you, an old and immortal person, are immortal. You have managed to survive for so long, and you have been hated and scolded by so many people. I, an old friend, can't stand hearing it anymore..."

Although Zhang Mao spoke with a smile, his eyes were filled with sadness.

"No!"

Because if this matter comes to pass, the power of the cabinet will go further and completely override the six ministries. This is not a good thing for the country.

Do you want to search the Forbidden City as well?

Faced with Zhang Mao's furious scolding, Tu Xun realized that he was really confused and didn't notice this problem at all.

Ma Wensheng is deaf because he is too old. He is already eighty years old this year and has entered an octogenarian year!

As the saying goes, sixty years, seventy years, this ancient and rare means that people who can live to this age have always been rare.

In fact, Ma Wensheng was not prepared to intervene in this matter, or he had never been on good terms with the cabinet.

Although it is said that the Nanyuan Forbidden Land is no better than the Forbidden City, it is only a forbidden land in name only, a royal hunting ground, so everyone usually doesn't take it seriously.

"Go to hell quickly, before people scold you behind your back!"

"How old are you? Why are you still playing these tricks? You old man is so shameless?"

This world is really not worth it!

Ma Wensheng took a deep look at Zhang Mao and was about to say something.

Tu Xun, the imperial censor, did a very good job. There was no need to lose his official position just because of a trivial matter.

Zhang Mao rudely picked out his ears and sneered: "I don't want to pay attention to these shabby things, but what you have done is too much."

At least after Zhang Mao said those words, he designated the case as a palace case, so it would be difficult for foreign ministers like them to interfere in it.

Liu Jian spoke first, with a rather unkind tone.

"You still want to investigate the forbidden areas of the palace. Who gave you the courage? Why can't you, an old immortal like you, suppress the officials under your command?"

"Tsk tsk, look at these ministers and censors, they wish they could be dogs for Lord Yuanfu. They have almost forgotten you, Ma Wensheng, Lord Tianguan!"

This is not arrogance, but truly disrespectful!

His Majesty the Emperor is listening on the stage!

For a moment, Tu Xun panicked.

"Oh, that's right!" Zhang Mao smiled at Ma Wensheng and said, "Look at me, an old guy. I told the truth and made people hate me, right? I was immediately silenced, right?"

"Hey, Master Tianguan, didn't you hear that my eyes were dim and my ears were deaf? Why are my ears working better now?"

"Grand Governor, this is too much!"

Making jokes, disrupting the situation, sowing dissension... Zhang Mao, this old guy, is just a troublemaker!

Hearing Zhang Mao's teasing words, Tu Xun blushed with embarrassment.

"Old man, when will you die?"

However, Zhang Mao, an old guy, started pounding the table. If he didn't speak, Tu Xun might be in real trouble.

Everyone has their own choice. They are willing to be others' dogs and let the power of the cabinet surpass the six ministries. Ma Wensheng alone cannot stop it.

We can no longer interfere with this case!

The person who made the statement was surprisingly none other than Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, a veteran of the Five Dynasties, the Crown Prince and Grand Master, and the Heavenly Official!

He and Zhang Mao were both courtiers of the Jingtai Dynasty, and they had been old rivals for many years, so they suppressed Zhang Mao's fierce arrogance as soon as he opened his mouth.

One is to protect the noble military ministers, and the other is to prevent the overwhelming power of the cabinet. The two old guys in their seventies and eighties, old people from the Jingtai period, dare not retreat or die, so they can only suffer in this court. Why bother even if you grit your teeth and hold on, and still have to be hated by others for nothing!

Liu Jian couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. He shouldn't have let Zhang Mao, an old guy like this, come over to discuss matters.

"That was not what I meant!"

But Ma Wensheng lived ten more years and was already an octogenarian. It would be strange not to be deaf at the age of eighty!

To be honest, not only Liu Daxia, but also Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others are the juniors of Ma Wensheng, because Ma Wensheng was a Jinshi during the Jingtai period. He has been an official for more than fifty years so far, and he is an out-and-out Five Dynasties scholar. Elder!

Compared with Liu Jian, the old chief assistant and a follow-up official, Ma Wensheng has always acted more radically.

Furthermore, Ma Wensheng was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The late emperor ordered him to lead the six ministries as his ministers. This already caused conflicts with the increasingly powerful cabinet. It was inevitable that friction and contradiction would arise between the two parties due to their power.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the late emperor's entrustment before his death, Ma Wensheng would have long ago wanted to serve as an official and return to his hometown to take care of his old age. How could he want to annoy people in this court and witness these flies and dogs!

Ma Wensheng was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel appointed by the late emperor. As the Crown Prince, Grand Master and Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he was the admiral and led the six departments.

Otherwise, it is truly disrespectful!

The little emperor has been listening on the stage. In front of him, no one dares to do this.

However, the forbidden area is the forbidden area, and it also belongs to the palace, His Majesty the Emperor's private residence and private land!

You Tu Xun still want to investigate?

Do you still see superiority and inferiority in your eyes?

As a result, now, they have clearly supported the cabinet, and the intrigue behind this is very intriguing.

"If you die, then the cabinet can unify the six departments!"

He is already old and doesn't want to pay attention to anything anymore. Having reached this point and worked hard for Ming Dynasty all his life, it is enough.

"The court meeting is a place to discuss state affairs, not a place for the governor to make jokes."

Zhang Mao, this damn old man, is getting more and more vicious!

Big or small shit-stirring sticks, none of them are good!
