The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 324 Ending and Punishment

Lei Xiong committed suicide.

Zhu Houzhao walked in immediately afterwards.

Seeing Tang Hao's miserable face, the emperor suddenly laughed.

Tang Hao looked at this guy unhappily, glared at him, and then laughed unconsciously.

The emperor and his minister looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

Yes, surviving a disaster.

Tang Hao was really almost dead. If it weren't for the powerful pill, his body would be cold and pale now.

Zhu Houzhao lost this confidant and arm, and no one could suppress the Beijing army. Not to mention the mutiny of the Beijing army, the situation in the court would also completely collapse, the rise of military generals and nobles would be stopped, and the royal family and vassal kings must be eradicated, then the civil officials and gentry would control the government again.

This means that all the efforts made by Tang Hao and Zhu Houzhao before will be completely wiped out because of this sudden change!

"It was a close call!"

"It was really a close call!"

Zhu Houzhao patted his chest with lingering fear.

"If you hadn't survived, I'm afraid we would have lost everything this time."

Tang Hao nodded with a wry smile, and then sighed.

"No one thought that Li Dongyang would break the situation like this, and even wanted to kill me!"

"Speaking of which, this is still the trouble you caused. You insisted on forcing Li Dongyang to death, and now he is desperate!"

Zhu Houzhao was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and complained: "Didn't I just want to solve this hidden danger?"

"Who would have thought that this damn dog would dare to stir up trouble!"

At this point, Zhu Houzhao immediately made a guarantee.

"Don't worry, savage, this time Li Dongyang will definitely be confiscated and exterminated, and he will definitely die!"

"And that Prince Ning, and this Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao, just settle accounts together!"

When things got to this point, the court had to settle accounts with Zhu Chenhao, the rebel king.

After all, even his own son reported Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, so His Majesty the Emperor could not continue to be deaf and dumb and indifferent.

Tang Hao nodded and said: "Then we can clean up the court. After the five governments are re-established, the military generals and nobles will also have the capital to compete with the civil officials and gentry. The use of the royal family and princes to us is actually not very big!"

"By the way, Tang Mu, An Guo and others, can Your Majesty..."

Tang Hao looked at Zhu Houzhao with difficulty, but he didn't finish his words.

Because this time the Beijing army mutinied, although Lei Xiong instigated and instigated it, the problem was that they did mutinied, and they directly mobilized troops in the capital without an imperial edict. In a serious case, it was equivalent to treason, and there was nothing to say!

But if this group of military merits were feared and suspected by His Majesty the Emperor, or even directly suppressed, the rise of military generals and nobles would become a joke.

Zhu Houzhao also understood these principles. Although he was very unhappy, he still relaxed for the sake of the overall situation.

"Put all the blame on Lei Xiong, so that the civil officials and gentry can shut their mouths!"

"As for Tang Mu, An Guo and others... they took away the hereditary imperial certificate, what do you think, savage?"

Hearing the result of this treatment, Tang Hao finally put his heart back in his stomach.

This kind of painless punishment is what he wants to see most.

The reason for the punishment is that Tang Mu and others did something wrong. It is a capital crime to mobilize troops without an imperial edict. Even if all the blame is put on the dead Lei Xiong, the civil officials and gentry will certainly not miss such a good opportunity to criticize.

So, this is a warning and a lesson.

Is the hereditary imperial certificate important?

Of course it is important.

Without this hereditary imperial certificate, the titles of Tang Mu and others are temporary titles and cannot be passed on to their descendants. Once he dies, his title will be gone.

It's not that important.

Because at least their official positions and titles are preserved, and if they continue to fight on the battlefield with Tang Hao, the hereditary imperial certificate can be easily obtained again.

Therefore, the mild punishment proposed by Zhu Houzhao was undoubtedly well thought out.

His Majesty, the Emperor Zhengde, also showed more and more the emperor's bearing and means.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Tang Hao flattered him with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao glared at him unhappily.

"It's all because of you!"

"Heal your injuries as soon as possible, and then teach those guys a lesson!"

"I can tolerate them once for your sake, but there will never be a second time!"

After saying this, Tang Hao looked solemn and promised solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there will never be a second time!"

The two continued to finalize some details, and then Zhu Houzhao left.

His Majesty, the emperor, still had a lot of things to do, and many people were concerned about Tang Hao's injuries.

As soon as the emperor left, Zhang Jingshu came in with her son in her arms, staring at her husband in a daze.

Tang Hao looked at his wife with an apologetic face, and then reached out to her.

Zhang Jingshu slowly walked to his side and buried her head in his chest.

"I'm so scared. What should I do if you really leave? The child is still so young..."

The beauty cried with tears in her eyes, and Tang Hao felt heartbroken.

He held his wife and children in his arms and promised solemnly: "This time I was plotted against, and I was completely unaware, so I almost died."

"I won't do it again in the future, I promise you, I will never do it again!"

Who knew that those killers would be so despicable and use poison arrows directly, and the kind that kills instantly!

This time, Tang Hao really went to the gate of hell and truly experienced the feeling of death!

Zhang Jingshu was speechless, silently wiping away her tears, then smiled and said: "It's good to be alive, it's good to survive!"

"My husband is well rested. I will take Tuo'er back to rest first."

This is a woman who understands the general situation.

At this moment, there are a large number of martial artists waiting outside the door.

So she didn't pester Tang Hao. As long as she confirmed that he was okay, the couple would spend more time together.

After Zhang Jingshu left, Tang Mu, An Guo, Xu Tianci, Chen Jizu and other generals walked in one after another, and then knelt down straight in front of Tang Hao.

"Please punish me, Lord Marquis!"

Without saying anything else, he knelt down and admitted his mistake.

Even though the reason why they led the Beijing soldiers to mutiny was to avenge Tang Hao, right is right and wrong is wrong.

Not only did they lead the soldiers of the Beijing Army to mutiny, they also attacked the Imperial Guards, the Emperor's own army. This undoubtedly touched His Majesty's bottom line.

Therefore, all the generals were a little uneasy at this moment, not knowing how the court would punish them next.

The less severe case is dismissal from office and the abolition of the title, the more severe case is beheading as a warning to others!

Tang Hao looked at these guys coldly and started to curse.

"Can you bear it one by one?"

"You still dare to openly attack Jinyiwei Zhenfusi?"

"Those are the emperor's own troops! You guys are going to rebel!"

"What? You want to make a big fuss in the name of avenging me and become an emperor for fun?"

After hearing these bitter and sarcastic words, the expressions of the generals suddenly became strange.

I didn't dare to laugh even if I wanted to, so I could only hold it in.

"You are so brave!"

At this time, the generals really did not dare to laugh and apologized again.

"Please punish me, Lord Marquis!"

Tang Hao looked around at the generals coldly, and finally told them the result.

"Just this once, never happen again!"

"Lei Xiong will bear all the blame. As for you, you will be deprived of your hereditary titles as a warning to others!"

After hearing this, the generals were immediately overjoyed and smiled unconsciously on their faces.

Because it basically has no impact on them.

Everyone is now in their prime, and they can easily achieve military and military exploits by following the Marquis. Are we still afraid that we will not be able to get the hereditary title again?

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

All the generals expressed their thanks in unison.

Of course they understood that the Marquis must have begged for them, otherwise how could they have escaped so easily.

"Okay, get out!"

"Calm down the soldiers of the Beijing army and go about your own business!"

The generals left honestly.

The next person who walked into the ward was Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet.

The leader of the Jin gentry confirmed with his own eyes that Tang Hao was really alive, and his heart finally returned to his stomach.

"Tanghou, what a blessing!"

Tang Hao was also filled with emotions.

"If I die, the situation will completely collapse."

"Then Li Dongyang might even make a comeback!"

The civil servants and gentry once again took control of the government, and Li Dongyang might have to make a comeback.

Yang Tinghe nodded silently, feeling extremely disgusted with Li Dongyang.

Such a traitor who disregarded the interests of the family and the country and only pursued his own selfish desires almost led to the catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty. It is better to get rid of such a traitor as soon as possible.

"Next, I hope that the civil servants and gentry will not stop it, and the court will start a liquidation!"

Tang Hao looked at Yang Tinghe solemnly and said: "You have also seen that if people like Li Dongyang and others continue to stay, it will be harmful rather than beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later, big trouble will arise!"

"And now the imperial court has to liquidate Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao and clean him out at once. What does the chief minister think?"

Clean it all in one go!

This light sentence will determine the life or death of dozens or hundreds of officials!

But Yang Tinghe also felt bored. He didn't like the current civil servants and gentry, or he was extremely disgusted with these selfish gentry!

Especially this Li Dongyang!

"Can!"

"I will fully cooperate!"

"I will explain it to Wang Hao!"

"Simply take this opportunity to clarify the officialdom!"

Yang Tinghe's eyes flickered.

He needs a clean and efficient civil servant system to coordinate his political ambitions.

Therefore, eliminating some corrupt officials is extremely beneficial to the civil servants and gentry.

Both parties reached an agreement and each gained something.

Yang Tinghe left immediately, and Yang Yiqing came in immediately.

As soon as the old man saw Tang Hao's pale face, he immediately started to ridicule him, wishing to make the Marquis of Zhongshan angry to death.

Tang Hao didn't like him either, so he scolded him when he needed to. Anyway, this Yang Yiqing was just a stinking stone in the latrine.

The two quarreled and cursed, and in the end the problem returned to the soldiers of the Beijing army.

Yang Yiqing solemnly warned Tang Hao that the soldiers of the Beijing army must not become Tang Hao's private army. The mutiny of the Beijing army tonight undoubtedly confirmed this, and this is exactly the way to die!

Tang Hao also understood that Zhu Houzhao did not punish Tang Mu and others this time because of his face, but he must have felt fear in his heart.

"I will recommend Qiu Yue to enter the capital camp, and I hope you will cooperate!"

Yang Yiqing said in a deep voice and gave a solution.

Tang Hao nodded silently and did not refuse the proposal.

When Qiu Yue enters the capital camp, his power will naturally be divided. There is no doubt about this.

Qiu Yue was a frontier general, and he had the support of Yang Yiqing behind him.

However, this is good for everyone.
