Chapter 36 Dismissal
"Bastard, bastard, Chen Hua, this white-eyed wolf, actually, actually dared to bite me back." Ma Ku angrily smashed all kinds of vases and porcelain in the study into pieces.
Ever since he tried to go to Prince Zhuang's mansion to mediate and failed a few days ago, he didn't give up.
At the beginning, there were naturally many people in the court to help turn around, but the Prince Zhuang simply refused to accept softness and rigidity.
Ma Ku also only thought that the other party was angry, so he kept increasing the stakes. Although the Ruiguo government said it was down and out, it still had political leverage.
I didn't expect that at today's court meeting, there would be a censor participating in a sum. He, the Duke of Ruiguo, colluded with foreign officials, bullied the weak, extorted antiques, and forced people to death.
Is this something for these nobles?
This is not a problem at all. Every year, I would like to think that a censor will make a fortune with these honorable families, and then he will chat with the honorable group in the court for a month or two. Finally, Emperor Li will come out to mediate, and this matter will be over. After finishing it, I also felt that this time it was just his turn to the Ruiguo government, and it was not a big deal.
At most, it will be a few days before the hall to be held accountable, and you can still feel a wave of presence in front of the saint, and then you will be punished with a salary and face the wall to think about your mistakes.
Unexpectedly, this time, Chen Hua, the magistrate of Nanxuan, came to Beijing to report on his duties, and was transferred to the Dali Temple in the capital. He did not know who operated it and became a Beijing official. He thought about visiting it soon, but Unexpectedly, when Chen Hua took advantage of the censor's contribution to him, he also made a copy.
Said that his Ma family lured the children of the aristocratic family to gamble, forcibly took the daughters of the people as concubines, and said that they lent money for interest and exploited usuriously.
This time, all factions in the court were directly detonated.
As a derivative product of the Xungui family, the Xungui Group naturally tried its best to keep the Ruiguo government, which is also the Xungui, but it couldn't withstand the pressure of other civil and military officials, which made the Xungui Group unable to do what it could.
After calming down, Ma Ku also understood that neither Chen Hua nor Yushi was the real master.
"Prince Zhuang." Ma Ku gritted his teeth and said.
No matter from which side you look at it, you can see it with a clear eye.
These days, he has offended Prince Zhuang, who else would he be if not him?
What's more, although his Duke of Ruiguo has the title of Duke of the Kingdom and has political bargaining chips and resources, it also relies on the noble family for its existence.
"However, is it really only because of Prince Zhuang?"
Ma Gu was silent, this time the disturbance was too big, and Emperor Li didn't seem to express anything, which gave him a bad feeling.
"Master, someone from the palace has come to announce the decree, and please hurry up to pick him up." Outside the door, the manager shouted anxiously.
This made Ma Ku's heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly packed his luggage and went to receive him.
When I came to the main hall, the yellow gate had been waiting for a long time. When I saw Ma Ku coming, I took out the imperial decree and began to read it.
"According to the emperor's order,... cut off the country's position, demoted to the county, removed from the three ranks of Fenwei General, hereby." After a long formulaic reading, Huangmen announced the final result.
Ma Ku was stunned, what's going on, why is it so fast?
Dismissed from office and dismissed from office, this was not even investigated, and the verdict was given directly. Ma Ku's eyes darkened, and he almost lost his footing.
"Master Ma, you still haven't accepted the order." Huangmen's sharp voice brought Ma Ku back to his senses.
"Minister, accept the order."
"Please forgive me, sir." After getting up, Ma Ku took out a bank note from his pocket and stuffed it into the pocket of the yellow gate.
This means asking why.
But Huang Men stretched out his hand to stop the other party, which made Ma Ku feel even more uneasy.
"Your Majesty, please take it back. Your Majesty told our family when you came down to return the belongings of someone else's old friend." Huangmen reminded.
When Ma Ku heard this, he felt a little dazed, something from an old friend?
He didn't expect that strange man covered in armor to have such a status, who the **** is that.
"Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law." Ma Ku said hastily.
The other party's intention is obvious, if you don't pay back, there will be more follow-up.
"Please remember, Mr. Ma, let your son return it willingly, instead of being dissatisfied. That gentleman is unusual, so don't play tricks, otherwise, one by one, it will be enough for Duke Rui The whole government lost their heads."
Ma Gu's mind buzzed, and he suddenly understood.
This was not done by Prince Zhuang at all, but by the current Holy Majesty.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Ma Ku suppressed the speculation in his heart and said respectfully.
After Huangmen left, the whole mansion was in chaos, and he slumped on the main seat with some powerlessness.
Sure enough, whether it was Yushi or Chen Hua, the criticism of him was just an introduction, and the real reason was to offend someone who shouldn't be offended.
"Once belonging to the deceased, return to the original owner."
"Heh, who would have thought that because of a stone chessboard, I would lose my position as the Duke of the country twice in a row."
He knew that Emperor Li was waiting for him. Chen Hua entered Beijing not only as a knife to kill him, but if his behavior satisfied Emperor Li, then Chen Hua would be his scapegoat.
"Come on, let that little **** come over, I... well, forget it, I'll go there." Ma Ku sighed.
He knew that his son had long been spoiled by the female family members in the back house. The stone chessboard accounted for 50% of the matter, and his unlucky son also accounted for 50%.
But what can I do about this matter, it is my own son, so I can't say that I killed him.
Who knew that things could turn out like this, if he knew at the beginning, he would have given the stone chessboard to others immediately.
He got up and headed towards the back house. His son was messing around with those women heartlessly, which made him very headache. According to this nature, he didn't know when he would be able to be alone.
What is more important is the character of his own son, how could he be willing to give it?
It would have been okay if it hadn't been like this, but the stubbornness had grown stronger. If something went wrong, their family might be ruined.
Don't underestimate that Emperor Li, the opponent is extremely vicious.
"I just hope this little **** can understand me as a father, otherwise."
The Duke of Rui County may not disappear, but the Ma family is not only his house, but also a side house. When the time comes, their big house owner's house will be cleared, and the title will be transferred to the remote one who can't be more remote. As a side branch, the Duke of Rui County is not considered to have disappeared, and the interest groups formed by those distinguished and noble families will not fight to the death.
The ones who died were nothing more than the big house of their main family who offended Emperor Li with their short-sightedness.
