"Damn it, bastard, Chen Hua, this ungrateful wolf, actually dared to bite me back." Ma Ku angrily smashed the various vases and porcelains in the study into pieces.

Since a few days ago, after his intention to enter Prince Zhuang's mansion failed to mediate, he has not given up and looked for people everywhere to seek relationships as an intermediary.

At the beginning, there were naturally many people in the court who helped to make a move, but Prince Zhuang was not good at all.

Ma Ku only thought the other party was angry, so he kept increasing his investment. Although the Duke of Ruiguo was in a downturn, he still had political bargaining chips.

But unexpectedly, at the court meeting today, a censor participated in the draft, the Duke of Ruiguo pardoned and colluded with foreign officials, bullied the weak, extorted antiques, and forced people to die.

Is this a matter for these nobles?

This is not a matter at all. Every year, I think of a censor participating in these noble families, and then criticizing each other with the noble groups in the court for a month or two. Finally, Emperor Li came out to mediate, and the matter was left unresolved. I also think that this time it was just his turn to Duke Rui's Mansion, which was not a big deal.

At most, you can only hold the palace accountable in a few days, and you can still face the saint and feel a sense of existence, and then get a salary and think about your mistakes.

But unexpectedly, this time, Chen Hua, the prefect of Nanxuan, came to Beijing to report his work and transferred to the Dali Temple in Kyoto. He didn't know who operated it and became a Beijing official. He wanted to visit him soon, but he didn't expect that Chen Hua also submitted a memorial while the censor was considering his decision.

He said that his Ma family tempted the children of aristocratic families to gamble, forcibly occupying the daughter of a relative as a concubine, and said that he would give up the money to make profits and exploit them with great profits.

This time, it directly detonated all factions in the court.

As a derivative of the noble family, the noble group naturally tried its best to protect the Duke of Ruiguo, which was also a noble family, but could not withstand the fierce pressure from other civil and military officials, which made the noble group unable to meet.

After calming down, Ma Ku also understood that neither Chen Hua nor the censor were the main masters.

"Prince Zhuang." Ma Ku said gritting his teeth.

No matter from which aspect you look at it, you can see things with a clear eye.

Over the past few days, he has offended Prince Zhuang. Who else could it be if it weren't for him?

What's more, although his Duke of Rui was named Duke and had political bargaining chips and resources, he also relied on the noble families.

"But, is this really only because of Prince Zhuang?"

Ma Ku was silent. This time the trouble was too big, and Emperor Li didn't seem to have any expression, which gave him a bad premonition.

"Master, someone has come from the palace to announce the imperial edict. Please go and pick him up quickly." The manager shouted anxiously outside the door.

This made Ma Ku's heart jump, and he hurriedly packed up his clothes and went to receive the reception.

When I arrived at the main hall, the yellow gate had been waiting for a long time. When I saw Ma Ku coming, I took out the imperial edict and started reading it.

"After the emperor's order,... the Duke of the country was removed, demoted to the county duke, and the position of the third rank Fenwei general was removed, and he was awarded this." After a long promulgation, the Huangmen announced the final result.

Ma Ku was stunned. What happened and why it was so fast?

He was dismissed from his post and his title, and he didn't even investigate the investigation, so he directly gave a verdict. Ma Ku's eyes turned dark and he almost couldn't stand firm.

"Master Ma, I haven't answered the order yet." The sharp voice of the yellow gate made Ma Ku come to his senses.

"Since, accept the order."

Ma Ku accepted the imperial edict tremblingly. This fact was too abrupt. It only took one or two days to do so. This turned him, Duke Rui, into Duke Rui County, and was fined as General Fenwei, but his title was demoted by two levels in a row, which was the biggest key.

"Please be kind to you, sir." After getting up, Ma Ku took out a silver note from his arms and stuffed it into the yellow door's arms.

This means asking why.

But Huangmen reached out to stop the other party, which made Ma Ku feel more and more uneasy.

"Master Ma should take it back. When His Holiness came, he told us that he would take back the things from other people's old friends." Huangmen reminded him.

When Ma Ku heard this, he felt a little dazed, what an old friend is?

He didn't expect that the weird man covered in armor had such a status. Who was that person?

"Thank you for your reminder, my father-in-law." Ma Ku said hurriedly.

The other party’s meaning is very obvious. If you don’t return it, there will be some in the future.

"I'll also ask Lord Ma to remember that the noble prince will return it willingly, instead of being dissatisfied. That gentleman is extraordinary, but don't use tricks, otherwise these things will be enough to make the entire Rui County Duke lose his head."

Ma Ku's head buzzed, and he suddenly understood.

This was not the action of Prince Zhuang, but the current emperor.

"Thank you, my father-in-law." Ma Ku suppressed his guess and said respectfully.

After the Yellow Gate left, the whole mansion was in a mess, and he sat in the main seat with some weakness.

Sure enough, both the Censor and Chen Hua attacked him just an introduction, and the real reason was that he offended people he should not offend.

"The things of old friends return to the original owner."

"Ha, who would have thought that because of a stone chessboard, I was the only one who had a separation from the country, and I was cut by two levels in a row."

He knew that Emperor Li was waiting for his attitude. Chen Hua was not only used as a knife to kill him. If his behavior satisfies Emperor Li, then Chen Hua would be his scapegoat.

"Come on, let that little beast come over, I...oh, forget it, I'll go there." Ma Ku sighed.

He knew that his son had long been spoiled by the women in the back house. This matter accounted for 50% of the time, and his unlucky son accounted for 50%.

But what can I do about this matter? It’s my own son, so I can’t say I’ll kill him.

Who knew that things would become like this? If he had known it at the beginning, he would have given the stone chessboard to others as soon as possible.

He stood up and headed towards the back house. His son was heartless and hung out with those women. This gave him a headache. According to this nature, he didn't know when he could stand alone.

More importantly, with the personality of your son, how could he be willing to give it to him?

If it didn't happen like this, but if it became stubborn, if something went wrong, they might be destroyed.

Don’t underestimate the Li Emperor, the other party is extremely cruel to attack.

"I just hope this little beast can understand me, my father, otherwise..."

The Ruixian Duke may not disappear, but the Ma family is not only his house, but also the side house. When the time comes, the big house owner's family will be cleared and the title will be transferred to the side house that is far away so far that it cannot be remote. The Ruixian Duke will not disappear, and the interest groups formed by noble families will not fight to the death.
