Zhou Yun passed away in his sleep, and passed away peacefully. When he fell asleep, he never had to wake up again, and he could sleep forever. Lord Ma had dried up his tears and was surprisingly quiet. He thought he was mentally prepared. But when Zhou Yunzhen died, he realized that his heart was so flustered that it seemed like it could never stop. In the past, even if there were any mistakes in his government orders, Zhou Yun would always help him deal with the aftermath, and he would be impressed every time by handling it. This was a kind of admirable wisdom, and Lord Ma had a high regard for wisdom from this. At a glance, I finally understood why the status of a wise man could be compared with that of a peerless strong man. However, after tonight, no one in the court can do this. He has to face everything. Zhou Yun's final entrustment made him completely regard Daliang as where he belongs, rather than a temporary resting place. . I don¡¯t know how the news of Zhou Yun¡¯s death spread. I only know that the news was like snowflakes in the sky, covering the entire royal city overnight. Secret talks, conspiracy, bribery, bribery, assassination, and poisoning. Overnight, those who are qualified to participate in it heard the news and used various methods, just to gain more benefits from Zhou Yun's death and benefit themselves. Fight for more power. Originally, Lord Ma should have summoned a group of ministers under Zhou Yun overnight to prepare for the court battle the next day. Without Zhou Yun's words, he would have done that, but after listening to Zhou Yun's suggestion , he has given up that idea. Prince Ma just waited quietly, and after dawn, he watched ministers who claimed to serve the king and the people and were indifferent to fame and fortune jumping out to fight for power. More and more news came to Prince Ma from the intelligence network built by Zhou Yun during his lifetime. Prince Ma only felt that he had been too naive before. If he really wanted to win over a group of people and suppress a group of people according to his own ideas, , promote a group of people, then within a year, he may no longer have a foothold in the court. "It's a pity that Prime Minister Zhou's body is not cold yet!" Prince Ma closed his eyes in pain. His eyes were already red and looked a little swollen, and he felt severe pain when he moved even a little. The next day, Lord Ma assumed the power of the prime minister with his position as assistant prime minister and convened the ministers for a meeting. In the main hall, some people were dressed as usual, some deliberately wore black robes, and some were wearing white clothes and belts. The heavy snow outside had stopped, but it was very cold inside the court hall. Lord Ma has not yet come out, and the ministers are waiting patiently, brewing in their hearts the words to attack when the time comes, their eyes crossing with their colleagues from time to time. The little pirate puppy that Liang Xi has been keeping with her has been sleeping on the throne for more than half a year. It has never cared about what is said or talked about in the court. Many people regard it as a joke and even secretly regard it as a joke. The Japanese felt disdainful to see a dog, but Zhou Yun never mentioned this matter. Whenever someone mentioned it, he would be severely warned by him. Liang Xi once said that if he saw a pirate, he would not be able to tolerate the unbridled ministers. Today, the pirate did not sleep soundly as usual, but opened his smart eyes and scanned the officials. His eyes seemed to have a royal aura, but who would really care about a black and white puppy? Most people don't see any difference between a pirate's eyes closed and his eyes open. Lord Ma arrived late, wearing sackcloth and mourning, with red eyes. It could be seen that Lord Ma had shed a lot of tears before, and he had become a lot more haggard. Many of the old ministers were secretly moved, but Lord Ma did not summon them. , I was wondering whether Lord Ma was ambitious, but just seeing Lord Ma's appearance dispelled my doubts. Prince Ma sat unceremoniously on the guest seat in front of the pirate seat, which was the seat Zhou Yun had used before, facing the ministers directly. Some ministers complained but didn't say anything. Prince Ma hadn't spoken yet, so how could they be allowed to speak first? After all, Lord Ma is acting as Prime Minister at this time and performing the duties of Prime Minister. The tall palace door slowly closed as Lord Ma sat down, blocking the wind and cold outside. The tall door had bright windows. Maybe it was snowing, but the hall was still bright and bright. The attendants entered the hall through the side doors on both sides, and they separated silently. side. The attentive minister's heart tightened. The hundreds of palace attendants all had unfamiliar faces. Lord Ma moved very quickly and replaced all the palace attendants overnight. Lord Ma might have made a big move by doing this. He couldn't help but look at Lord Ma in surprise. I want to get some clues from Lord Ma's face. But they were disappointed. Apart from fatigue, Prince Ma's face was filled with calmness, as if after Zhou Yun's death, there was nothing left to upset him. Of course, there are also those who don't care. The main hall where the court is located has a high door and open windows. The height of the threshold is at the same level as the knees. Therefore, not everyone can enter the temple. Even if Prince Ma does something, can he still do it? Can we evacuate them all? Those who can stand here are more or less capable.Fighting, let alone Lord Ma, a mere prime minister, even if Zhou Yun is still alive, he would not dare to take any action against them. "Are they all here? Oh, there are a few missing, are they already dead?" Prince Ma spoke in a low voice, very calmly. After scanning around, he lowered his eyelids and seemed to be talking to himself, not paying any attention to the group. I mean. That sarcastic meaning is really uncomfortable to the ears of a thoughtful person. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know how to say it at the moment. I can¡¯t jump out and argue right away, right? Doesn't that mean there are no three hundred taels of silver here? "I am sitting here today because of Prime Minister Zhou's wishes. I just want you to make a choice. If you are willing to obey me completely, stand on the left. If you are not willing, stand on the right. What I say is complete. Don't obey me in disguise. ." Lord Ma's voice became deeper, and some veterans felt a wave of yin coming from behind. The carefree and confused Lord Ma suddenly became a different person, and they became afraid of him. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together off to the left without saying a word. They were able to stand here because of Lord Ma¡¯s credit. More people glanced at Lord Ma jokingly, thinking that this guy's head was broken because of Zhou Yun's death, right? He is a mere acting prime minister, but he has the courage to say such words in front of everyone. Even the Lord of Daliang does not have this qualification, right? Especially the original monarchs of several small realms. They just took refuge in Daliang. The original small realms were still controlled by their cronies. In total, they were equivalent to princes in Daliang, and they could discuss matters with Prince Ma in the court. This is already a great deal of face. Is it possible to really get them to obey Lord Ma wholeheartedly? The monarchs of the Small Realm, headed by Lu Shengba, stood on the right side with disdain. They were not in a hurry to attack Lord Ma for a moment, and just pretended to be watching a good show. They did not believe that the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty were. Isn't it a joke to let people like them listen to the words of a "junior" like Lord Ma? ? ? One after another, some people made decisions and walked to the left or right, while more people still stood in the middle and looked around. Prince Ma sat steadily on the armchair, supporting one hand on the armrest, and looked coldly at the different reactions of more than a hundred ministers. When the ministers were silent for a while, he continued to speak, "I don't want to see the deadbeats." His tone was surprisingly tough. It can be guessed that Prince Ma will soon implement a series of measures to target the ministers' alignment. It's when they join forces to rebound. This is the perfect time to see who is their ally and who supports Lord Ma. Lu Shengba looked at the number of people standing on his side that were several times larger than those on the left, and a smile appeared on his lips. Judging from this ratio, he had a chance to completely overthrow Lord Ma. At this time, Liang Xi was not in the royal city. It's a good time for him to occupy the magpie's nest. "Come here, take down all the people standing on the right!" Prince Ma, who was as quiet as a virgin a moment ago, stood up and looked down at the ministers after waiting for the ministers to make their decisions.
