The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Liu Daxia!

The famous three gentlemen of Hongzhi!

But the little emperor was extremely disgusted with this so-called gentleman!

The reason why I hate him is because this Liu Daxia does not seek political power in his position!

In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, the emperor ordered Liu Daxia to be promoted to Minister of War. As a close minister of Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Daxia repeatedly declined, and finally accepted this mess out of desperation.

Yes, it's a mess. Everyone in the court knows that the Minister of War is a tricky high position.

Why?

Because the Beijing army has been corrupted for a long time and its disadvantages are getting deeper and deeper!

Because the border troops are constantly armed and corrupt!

Whoever becomes the Minister of War must be prepared to take the blame.

After Liu Daxia took office, it was not that he did nothing. As soon as he took office, he asked all those who did not belong to the old system left by his ancestors and harmed the army and the people to be expelled one by one.

It seems that the great Sima who is in charge of the military affairs of the world is doing his duty faithfully and speaking out for the soldiers and the people, but in reality?

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Yousi to report the cases that should be implemented and dismissed. Yousi all reported according to the facts. In the end, it was discovered that the things Liu Daxia reported were all detrimental to the powerful people. Therefore, the powerful people tried their best to stop them, and Liu Daxia also argued with reason. Finally, Emperor Hongzhi pinched his nose and agreed.

Liu Daxia replied: "It means that it is not collected according to the normal law. For example, if we collect Duomu from Guangxi every year, and collect incense and medicine from Guangdong, the cost is calculated in the tens of thousands, and the rest can be imagined."

In the military tent.

Xiaozong asked about the army again, and he replied: "As poor as the common people." Xiaozong said: "You have monthly food when you live, but you have no food when you go out. Why are you poor?" Liu Daxia replied: "His commander deducted more than half, how could he not Poor?" Xiaozong sighed: "I have been in power for so long, and I still don't know how to be a ruler if the soldiers and people in the world are poor!" So he issued an edict to strictly prohibit it.

After talking about it for this reason, Guo Xun no longer shirks it. Anyway, if something happens, Tang Hao will be there to carry it, so Lord Guo goes to dig people up happily.

Unfortunately, Tang Hao had already left, and Ma Yong could only curse in the air.

"Has the imperial doctor returned?"

This time, Xu Jin paused again and didn't move for a long time.

This guy's name is Ma Yong. He was acquired by Guo Xun from the Jinwu Guards. It is said that after his meritorious service, he became the commander of the Jinwu Left Guards.

Of course, the young emperor still respected his father very much, so it was Zhu Houzhao who was incompetent, not his father!

As soon as he heard this, Ma Yong's face suddenly turned green.

Whether I am loyal to you or not is none of your business, Tang Hao!

Tang Hao summoned Xu Jin and Guo Xun.

As the Minister of War, the Grand Sima in charge of the military affairs of the world, your position, even if you do not side with the emperor, should still side with the soldiers and civilians of the nine sides!

Instead of fucking just being a dog to the civil servants and gentry, they even used their power over and over again to crazily suppress military generals and generals, and continue to make profits for the civil servants and gentry!

For such a person to sit in the position of Chief Sima of the Ministry of War is simply the incompetence of the Ming Emperor!

"Keep an eye on these two old guys!"

"There is only one condition. You can only stand with the military and the people on all sides!"

When Tang Hao saw Wei Bin coming, he was naturally too lazy to continue wasting time with this boy.

The little emperor sighed, feeling deeply sorry!

Are you throwing dirty water on me?

Tang Hao spoke quietly, with a joking smile on his face.

"The Minister of War is the chief minister in charge of the military affairs of the world. Naturally, he needs someone who knows the sufferings of the army and the people. His position should not be on the side of His Majesty, let alone the side of the civil servants and gentry, but should be on the side of On the side of the Jiubian military and civilians!”

"How is Li Dongyang's condition? When will he die?"

The Grand Sima of the Ministry of War is the kind who has truly entered the core of the empire and has a separate genealogy!

Tang Hao looked directly into Xu Jin's eyes and spoke loudly!

"Tell me, brother, what's so special about you?"

Chen Kuan smiled bitterly and explained that he would not die so soon.

"Tell me your conditions!"

Because this is not just a step from deputy to official, but a transformation from a mid- to high-level official to a high-level official!

Xu Shilang looked at Tang Hao with a blank face and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"After all, the soldiers and civilians of Jiubian are responsible for the important task of protecting the country. It is they who have always stood within the Great Wall of Jiubian Army and resisted the plunder and harassment of the northern barbarians again and again. It is they who built the Ming Dynasty with their blood, tears and bones. False peace!”

"..."

"Look what they are plotting and what they want to do!"

Tang Hao grinned and showed a kind smile to Ma Yong.

Did this win the favor of Marquis Zhongshan?

Is this something humans do?

Tang Hao took it and looked at it, his expression suddenly became weird.

Then a violent beating began, a one-sided beating with no ability to fight back.

In fact, Ma Yong was tall and burly, and could be called a slightly smaller version of Tang Ritian, but when he met Tang Hao, whose strength grew every day, he could only get beaten.

The Minister of the Ministry of War, an important minister of the second rank, the Grand Sima in charge of the military affairs of the world, the real Jiuqing!

"After Liu Daxia received the news, he immediately went to visit Li Dongyang overnight. I guess they will take action tomorrow!"

"If you want this position, then sit back and discuss it with me!"

"Shilang Xu, if you are loyal to the emperor, then of course we are one of our own!"

"I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Ma Yong, a rare general in the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties, and later the commander-in-chief of Jiubian, was as famous as the famous general Liang Zhen, and had the style of an ancient good general.

The little emperor ordered coldly, with a murderous look on his face.

Xu Jin was almost driven crazy, so he simply got up and left. He was too lazy to talk nonsense to this damn reckless man!

"Xu Jin, I will ask you again, are you loyal to the king?"

Wei Bin did not explain, but took out He Tianqu's impeachment memorial.

"Throw this kid into the beheading camp and give him a lieutenant!"

Tang Mu laughed and said: "You are the first person to be directly promoted to the deputy general of the first battalion after being beaten by the Marquis!"

Zhu Houzhao wanted to see how many more people like Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia were in the court!

Don't ask, asking means that military officers and nobles are corrupt, accepting bribes and withholding military pay!

This is the reason why Zhu Houzhao hates Liu Daxia.

"If you don't want to, then I can refuse it for you!"

As soon as Guo Xun heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"See what's special about you."

He is indeed a "loyal minister" and a "gentleman" indeed!

It’s just that this loyal minister never mentioned the harm of civil servants and gentry to the country, and never mentioned why the Beijing camp was corrupt and why the border guards were depleted!

At first glance, it sounds like Da Sima is really asking for help for the soldiers and civilians, right?

Emperor Hongzhi immediately summoned him and asked: "Your Majesty said before that the people of the world are so poor that all their wealth has been exhausted. Since our ancestors, there has always been a law to levy taxes. Why is it like this now?"

On the surface, he asked for orders for the army and the people, but instead he warned Emperor Hongzhi to be frugal, and took advantage of the situation to suppress the border generals who deducted military pay. As a result, Liu Daxia gained the reputation of "upright and outspoken".

Hearing this, Ma Yong was also stunned.

I am not a barbarian, but a serious descendant of Yan and Huang, a good young man of the 21st century!

"Your Majesty asked Dongchang and Xichang to arrest thirty-six people, including He Tianqu. They are all from Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia!"

"And you personally led the army to recapture Hami and killed the enemy. Then you should know best what will happen to the Ming Dynasty after the decline of civilization and military power!"

That's the Minister of War!

"Oh?" Tang Hao frowned upon hearing this, "Why do we need to take action in advance?"

According to his and the little emperor's plan, if the little emperor is allowed to impeach the officials, as long as the little emperor remains silent, the people behind the scenes will definitely be unable to sit still, and their own flaws will be exposed.

This time, the savage set up the overall situation with him, so he definitely couldn't beat the rabbit with straw, and just arrested a few supervisory censors and local officials and that was it!

After a long period of silence and struggle, Xu Jin still raised his steps, but he was not walking towards the outside, but towards the inside!

Finally, Xu Jin sat back down.

The civil servants and gentry are called foreign officials of the imperial court, and the relatives and ministers who are one with the imperial family are called dignitaries.

"Ouch!" Tang Hao's face was full of sarcasm and contempt, "A veteran of the Four Dynasties, what a big thing!"

This damned Marquis of Zhongshan is so vicious!

Deliberately roasting him on the fire and letting the thorny heads from the Zhan Pei Camp deal with him!

"Guo Xun, look at these Xunwei and Suwei more in the future, and dig out everything you can!"

Tang Hao was the first to look at Guo Xun. Now the latter is mainly responsible for taking charge of the regiment and selecting the real elites for the new army!

"This guy Ma Yong is very good!"

Therefore, to put it bluntly, the root cause of Liu Daxia's action was to attack the generals and nobles, rather than to truly fulfill his duties and to serve the soldiers and civilians of the Nine Borders!

His first targets were the Four Guards Guards and the Warrior Battalion, the last armed force under the emperor's control. The result was that "the dangers of warriors falsely reporting and pretending to be leaders were greatly reduced." A large number of soldiers were dismissed because of this incident.

"You are really a thief if you are too old to die!"

As soon as Wei Bin saw Xu Jin, he was immediately embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Wei Bin received the reply and immediately turned around and left.

Willing or unwilling?

"Good boy!" Tang Muguai said with a smile: "So generous? That's the deputy general of the first battalion! Will those thorny heads in the Zhan Pei camp be convinced?"

"Enough!" Xu Jin shouted angrily, "Tang Hao, what exactly do you want to say?"

The minister is just the deputy to the minister.

After he left, Xu Jin and Tang Hao were the only ones left in the military tent.

"Reply Your Majesty, I will go to court tomorrow to see what else they can do!"

But there is only one Shangshu, and each of the six Shangshu has its own honorific title.

"It would be great if he realizes that he is dead!"

Or are you trying to make up my identity?

The dignitaries at that time were none other than military generals.

As soon as Ma Yong arrived at the Dongguanting camp, he named him to challenge the new army coach, Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao.

Tang Hao was studying military literature there, and he became interested when he heard this. After all, he had dealt with so many thorns, but this was the first time he saw someone actively challenging him by name.

"Your Majesty intends to promote you to the rank of Grand Sima!"

"Even after he became the Minister of the Ministry of War and became the Great Sima in charge of the military affairs of the world, Liu Daxia did not pursue his own affairs in his position. Instead, he used his position as the Great Sima to crazily suppress the generals and generals and benefit the civil servants and gentry. Right?"

There are two deputies, divided into left and right assistants.

Tang Hao, Guo Xun and Xu Jin were the only three people left in the military tent.

Tang Mu knelt down and carefully observed the unruly Ma Yong.

Is he really the first?

"Marquis Tang, His Majesty has sent news. He has already taken action in advance, adding fuel to the fire!"

But before he had time to think about it, Wei Bin quickly spoke.

"What if I poach too much and His Majesty blames me?"

"Liu Daxia is the best example. As the chief commander of the Ministry of War, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities in his position. He ignored the soldiers and civilians of the nine countries and the country. He even almost forgot his duty as a minister. Such people are destined not to last long!”

"To be too old to die is to be a thief. This kind of person should be called an "old thief", which is more appropriate!"

"Just a reminder, the entire Zhan Pei camp is full of thorns, but someone else was beaten to death, and I still want to compete with you in riding and shooting!"

Hearing this, Xu Jin paused, but continued to leave.

Wei Bin found Tang Hao with a solemn expression.

At this moment, Tang Ritian was teaching a disobedient boy.

"The people sitting in the court are all civil servants who don't know the sufferings of the soldiers and civilians. It can be seen from the fact that the grain payment system has changed to the silver payment system. They don't care about the life and death of the soldiers and civilians, let alone the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Jiangshan Sheji, all they care about is the rights in their hands!”

"The Marquis of Zhongshan speaks carefully!"

"It's none of my business!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Jin and Wei Bin's expressions changed.

"Forget it, your mother! No one who reads "Spring and Autumn" is good!"

"Don't you understand?" Tang Hao sneered: "Is it because you don't understand or you don't dare to speak?"

Wei Bin quickly recounted the important matters, and Tang Hao nodded after listening.

"Brother, if you really want to say something special, I like reading Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals. Does that count?"

Cold sweat broke out on Xu Jin's forehead. He wanted to escape from here immediately!

"Actually, you know better than anyone else that our great Sima's butt has always been crooked. He has always been a standard civil servant!"

Let the bullets fly for a while to hit more geese!

Now that the little emperor takes action in advance, it can only mean that something unexpected happened.

Dongguanting camp.

"It turns out that Ming Dynasty still has many generals!"

For example, the Minister of the Ministry of War is respectfully called "Da Sima"!

Normally, this step from minister to minister takes at least seven or eight years.

Tang Hao laughed and said: "So, does Xu Shilang think that the current Minister of War, Grand Sima Liu Daxia, is loyal to the emperor?"

"Don't worry!" Tang Hao said with a smile: "Don't touch the Four Guards Guards and the Warrior Camp. If you can dig out the others, dig them out. If you can't dig them out, I'll ask your Majesty for someone else!"

"What are you looking at?"

When Tang Hao saw this, he smiled and said: "Wei Daxuan, don't worry, we are all our own people. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Daxia reported the ten evils of Chen's military policy for the second time, citing the hard work of the northern and southern armies on land and waterways taking turns to transport grain, as well as the sleepy and exhausted frontier troops and the embezzlement of frontier generals.

"After all, Da Sima is a veteran of the Four Dynasties and has worked hard for the country all his life. Even if there is anything wrong with his behavior, it is not something you, Tang Hao, can slander and humiliate!"

"No, brother, those are all forbidden troops!"

"Boy, the deputy general is given to you. Whether you can hold on and sit still depends on your own ability!"

"Marquis Zhongshan, when did I and you become our own people?"

Hearing this, Xu Jin's expression changed drastically.

At this moment, Ma Yongzheng was lying limply on the ground with a bruised nose and face. He was still not convinced, and was clamoring with Tang Hao to compete in riding and shooting!

"Xu Shilang, you once served as governor of Datong, and you did a very good job. The soldiers and horses were strong, and the border defenses were well maintained. This is enough to prove that you, Xu Jin, are a capable official!"

Tang Hao chuckled and said: "If you fail to do it, I will kill you with my own hands!"

"You should understand that since I can help you rise to power, I can smash you to pieces!"
