The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Reward!

This is a question that cannot be avoided.

Because in this battle, Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao killed tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars, captured countless prisoners, and captured the Mongolian prince alive. This battle determined the fate of the country, which was indeed a great achievement.

Such a great achievement really frightened many court officials.

Since the Civil Service Bureau, it has been a common practice in the court to govern the country and hold power.

Even the Emperor Chenghua could not do anything after a lot of trouble. After his death, the Hongzhi Dynasty was still ruled by civil officials.

Although the nobles are still there, they have formed a tacit understanding with the civil officials for so many years.

But now, Tang Hao, an alternative who was originally feared and suppressed by the court, has torn open the unspoken rules of the court with his great achievements, and stood in front of everyone with his troops of the Beijing Army, entering the court with an unstoppable momentum!

Suppression? !

In the whole court, no matter whether it is civil officials or nobles, everyone wants to suppress them!

The old military merits are nothing more than the founding merits and the Jingnan merits. When they were suppressed by civil officials and gentry before, their lives were difficult but they could still survive.

But now with the strong rise of Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, a new military merit group led by him, Zhongshan Hou, is rising strongly, so strong that even the military merits feel threatened!

After all, Tang Hao's squeeze in, not only destroyed the rules, but also violated the interests of both civil officials and nobles!

The cake of the Ming Dynasty is so big. In the past, it was divided by the two major forces of civil officials and gentry and military merits and relatives. But now, a strong and domineering military merit group suddenly emerged, which will naturally divide most of their vested interests!

However, in front of this overwhelming merit, in front of this great victory, in front of these tens of thousands of iron-blooded troops... Who dares to open his mouth and say such words?

Under such circumstances, the confidence of civil officials and nobles has reached the lowest point in history!

No matter how unwilling they are in their hearts, the rewards that Zhongshan Marquis and his military merit group deserve cannot be reduced at all!

It can even be said that under such military power, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao has begun to ignore the rules!

Rules?

I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, what rules should I abide by?

I didn’t have military power in my hands before, so I was just pretending to be nice to you civil officials and gentry!

But now, I not only have military power in my hands, but also an iron-blooded warrior who defeated the Mongolian Tartars in one battle, so what rules do I need to tell you?

At this moment, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao directly showed his fangs to the civil officials and gentry!

The court officials had no major objections to the rewards. Tang Hao was promoted to Duke of Xin, and generals such as An Guo and Tang Mu were given hereditary certificates.

There is nothing that can be done about it. The military merits in this battle were so great that promotion was inevitable. There was no dispute among the civil officials and gentry.

The "precedent" of Wang Yue in those days has now become the best theoretical basis for Emperor Zhengde!

In addition to being promoted to Duke of the State, Tang Hao, Duke of Xin, was also conferred the title of Junior Tutor of the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor!

Grand Tutor is the highest position in the central government. There are three dukes (Grand Master, Grand Tutor, and Grand Protector) and three orphans (Small Master, Small Tutor, and Small Protector) in the central government. They are assistants to the emperor. They have lofty positions, no fixed number of people, no special responsibilities, and are actually empty titles.

These positions occupy an important position in the central government agencies of the Ming Dynasty. Although there is no fixed number of people, due to their lofty positions and the nature of empty titles, they are often used to promote or give officials to commend the achievements and status of ministers.

Although the three dukes and three orphans have no actual duties and powers, they are mainly used as an honorary title to commend and respect ministers, but this is also a supreme honor!

Xin Guogong Tang Hao, from today on, is the current imperial tutor!

The only objection is the position.

The court officials naturally want to send Tang Hao far away, and let him cause trouble in the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, but how can His Majesty the Emperor be willing?

You must know that in the battle of Hetao, 50,000 of the 100,000 Mongolian cavalry were killed in battle and 50,000 were captured. In a short period of time, there will be no more war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, so Tang Hao cannot be allowed to go to the nine borders.

Now, Tang Hao returns to the court with a great victory. With Tang Hao's presence, His Majesty the Emperor is the real emperor of the Ming Dynasty during this period.

In the past, Zhu Houzhao's words, from the initial wind around his ears to the later cabinet confrontation, his imperial edicts were almost ineffective outside the palace, but now, who dares to ignore his words again among the officials in the court? !

Who dares to ignore his will?!

With Tang Hao's presence, he, as the emperor, has the confidence to overturn the table. With the confidence to overturn the table, these arrogant courtiers will naturally be honest.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao will naturally not give up his martial arts.

Under his forced promotion, the rewards were also implemented bit by bit.

At this moment, under a series of complex, expectant, or gloomy eyes, several officials walked down from the Meridian Gate Tower and brought this much-anticipated reward!

Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao was promoted to Xin Guogong, the Prince's Junior Tutor and Grand Tutor, the Left Commander of the Central Army Commander's Office, the Governor of the Beijing Camp Military Affairs, and was granted an iron certificate, a dragon robe, and a hereditary title. Other gold and jade rewards are countless.

Tang Hao knelt down to receive the decree, and a smile appeared on his face.

He had naturally learned about this reward from Zhu Houzhao in advance.

According to Emperor Zhu Houzhao's idea, Tang Hao was directly conferred the title of Duke of the State, and directly became the first nobleman of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there could not be a king of a different surname in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao would have wanted to give Tang Hao a title of king, because Tang Hao's achievements were completely enough!

Unfortunately, that was impossible.

Tang Hao would not allow Zhu Houzhao to do so, otherwise he would really become a thief who stole the country!

However, a Duke of the State is already really scary.

In the past, Tang Hao was just a marquis, and he could suppress the civil officials and gentry, and twist the military merits into a rope!

Now, Tang Hao is a real Duke of the State, and it is the kind of hereditary one. The most important thing is that he is still very young, only thirty years old!

This means that Tang Hao can suppress the court for at least 20 to 30 years!

He is too young!

So young that it makes people feel scary!

Compared with Zhu Houzhao's smiling face, the mood of the court officials is undoubtedly much more complicated.

What to do?

Who can suppress this Marquis of Zhongshan... Duke of Xin?

After Tang Hao, generals such as An Guo, Tang Mu, Ma Yong, Deng Boyan, and Chang Kuohai were all rewarded.

The thirty-six generals who followed Tang Hao in the past have all been awarded titles, including twelve marquises and twenty-four earls, and all of them have hereditary titles!

It was the first time since the Battle of Tumu that so many people were awarded titles for military merit in the Ming Dynasty!

A brand-new military merit group was formed!

Moreover, all these generals were placed in important positions in the Beijing Camp and the Nine Border Military Towns after Tang Hao and Zhu Houzhao discussed in advance.

In other words, from today on, the military power of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Tang Hao alone!

Not only the Beijing Camp, but also the Nine Border Military Towns, and the local garrisons!

Duke Xin Tang Hao has since become the most powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people!
