Chapter 2232 The Great Court (5)
Wu Zheng suddenly said this, and now the whole palace was in an uproar.
Even Mao Xiang and Ma Shiying opened their mouths wide.
Xia Wanchun, who had been silent, almost couldn't help but want to rush out and pull Wu Zheng's chest.
Fortunately, he is still a little rational and remembers the iron law that soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics.
Zhu Chenyu was also a little confused. She looked at Wu Zheng in surprise and thought to herself whether her brother had any handle in Mo Zhinian's hands... she was threatened by Mo Zhinian?
Mo Zhinian was also surprised. He almost believed that he had misunderstood Wu Zheng. Wu Zheng planned to elect him to succeed as the chief minister according to the tacit understanding that both parties knew.
Facing the whispers in the hall, Wu Zheng did not seem to see the gazes of Mao Xiang and others who were about to vent fire. He walked back to his position calmly, closed his eyes and rested again.
Mo Zhinian couldn't understand Wu Zheng anymore. Obviously, Wu Zheng was not showing kindness to himself, and did not seem to have a plan to compromise.
Otherwise, Wu Zheng should take this opportunity to recommend himself as the chief assistant to the emperor. This is the real purpose of today's dynasty meeting.
But Mo Zhengan did not "take advantage of the victory to pursue", but instead "stop when he sees good", slowly turned right and returned to the queue.
Mo Zhengnian stopped when he saw it was better, but he could not keep the officials in his camp silent as well.
Yes, the struggle of power is like walking against the current, and if the boat does not advance, it will retreat.
Such a great opportunity, how can you let go easily? Youdao is to take advantage of his illness to kill him. Even if you can't defeat the King of Wu, you have to take the opportunity to defeat Mao Xiang, Ma Shiying and others. These positions are really a shortage.
"I will report to Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
One person walked out of the back row of the civil servant queue.
Zhu Chenyu frowned slightly.
Mao Xiang glanced at Wu Zheng and shouted softly: "Zhang Wangzhi, what important thing is to report to me... If you are not in a hurry, you can submit memorials to the heavens!"
Zhang Wangzhi was just a mere engineering department clerk. From the seventh rank, according to the official rank, this kind of official position could not enter this hall at all. However, as a censor, the official is small and the power is big, but he can report it to the wind, that is, he can catch the wind and shadow, and he can even impeach without evidence.
Of course, no fool would offend these important officials in front of him, because if the impeachment fails, the revenge he will be fatal.
"I want to impeach the Minister of Rites Ma Shiying. Ma Shiying was the chief minister of the previous dynasty. He thought that he was in power and was still a monkey and a crown prince. Others attacked the different parties, harmed loyal and kind, were greedy and abused the law, sold official positions and titles, and did everything they could... What's even more hateful is that when the Qing army broke the city, he actually took the Queen Mother to flee south and colluded with foreign enemies...!"
Zhang Wangzhi looked indignant, "In theory, Ma Shiying was given the position of the Minister of Rites and became the Minister of Rites, and he should repay his kindness for His Majesty and serve the court with all his loyalty... However, I heard a few days ago that Ma Shiying used his power to seek personal gain and gave personal gains to the court. Is it unbearable?"
Mao Xiang interrupted, "You are the witness of the horse as a witness in the palace, do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Wangzhi rushed to Ma Shiying and pointed at Ma Shiying and said, "Ma Shiying has two sons, the eldest son Ma Luan and the second son Ma Xi... Now, Ma Luan is famous but is a fifth rank, a Hanlin scholar, and his second son Ma Xi is uneducated, but he is a sixth rank, and he is an Imperial College... If the chief assistant doesn't believe it, he can send someone to verify it!"
Speaking of this, without waiting for Mao Xiang to react, Zhang Wangzhi returned to the middle, knelt down and bowed, and reported to the emperor: "I beg your Majesty to convict Ma Shiying to face the hearing!"
Ma Shiying's face was pale. He trembled his lips and pointed at Zhang Wangzhi and cursed: "You...you are slandering..."
Ma Shiying rushed forward, walked behind Wu Zheng, and argued urgently: "Prince, you can't believe it... He is a false accusation..."
Wu Zheng's eyes were still closed, and he didn't even look back at Ma Shiying.
Ma Shiying was stunned for a while, and the whispers behind him made him unable to stand any longer. He bent his knees and knelt on the ground, "I... I'm wronged!"
Seeing that Wu Zheng refused to express his opinion, Zhu Chenyu was in a dilemma.
Many things can be covered if you don’t say them out, but if they are made public, then if you don’t understand, what is the majesty of imperial power?
But the question is, everyone knows that Ma Shiying is from the King of Wu. If the King of Wu doesn’t speak, can he move?
Mo Zhinian showed a slight smile on his face. It was not that Mo Zhinian recognized Zhang Wangzhi's behavior. On the contrary, although Zhang Wangzhi was indeed Mo Zhi's person, Zhang Wangzhi's actions today were not instructed by Mo Zhinian.
Zhang Wangzhi is just a seventh-rank censor. For ordinary officials, they must be respected, but at the level of the same age, there is no threat to the official like Zhang Wangzhi.
Zhang Wangzhi witnessed the scene outside Chengtian Gate with his own eyes, which gave Zhang Wangzhi a chance. He obviously wanted to show his "talent" in front of Mo Zhinian and make a great contribution, and for the future he would be promoted.
Zhang Wangzhi even had no psychological shadow in his heart. As for the censors, it is a privilege to report the news. As for whether he can defeat Ma Shiying in the end, it doesn't matter. What is important is that impeaching Ma Shiying in the palace is equivalent to slapping the King of Wu in the face, which is equivalent to venting anger for Mo Xiang. Even if the impeachment is not successful in the end, it is just a fallen misfortune. At most, dismissal will be dismissed from the court. King Zhang's assassin is not qualified. How can a mere official position from the seventh rank be more important than Mo Ge, who is about to take over as the chief minister?
Don’t obsess with it, don’t want to interfere.
In his heart, Zhang Wangzhi is a fool. Have you ever seen an egg hitting a stone head-on? Zhang Wangzhi is it.
Even if the King of Wu wants to deal with Ma Shiying, he will not slap himself in the face in front of everyone, right?
But Mo Zhongnian didn't want to stop it, because, in some ways, Zhang Wangzhi did what he wanted to do but could not, and dared not do, which was equivalent to being angry with him.
Don’t be obsessed with what the ending will be like for Zhang Wangzhi, and don’t care about it.
Perhaps God is also helping Zhang Wangzhi. Look, His Highness, the King of Wu, who is the King of Political Consultative Affairs, has also been silent. What does this mean? It means that the King of Political Consultative Affairs also dislikes Ma Shiying and wants to cut the mat, so he will get rid of it soon.
Wang Zhang became brave and strong quickly. He kowtowed and said, "I am ashamed... I am the same court as this beast... I ask Your descendant to blame Ma Shiying for slandering the anger of the subjects!"
The court is a microcosm of the entire society, and this is absolutely correct.
Whether it is the same camp or not, it really affects one's own personal interests. Whatever hatred of the same enemy or joining together for warmth is all bullshit.
Dirty things like turning against each other at the time of battle, cold arrows behind the scenes, etc., often occur in this palace.
Seeing the inaction of the King of Political Affairs, the direction of the ministers in the palace changed a strange change.
