The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

The next morning.

Wenhua Palace court discussion.

The little emperor attended the Sutra Banquet and Lectures all day long and was used to it by now.

As for how much Confucian knowledge he learned, only God knows.

After all, the little emperor mostly listened to the discussions of the courtiers below the platform.

The matter being discussed by the ministers today is the case of Zhu Hui, the second-generation protector of the country, who took advantage of the situation.

Liu Jian, the old chief assistant, picked up the memorial of Deng Zhang, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, and then spoke in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui burst into laughter, and even the little emperor on the platform burst into laughter.

"Yuansuke, what are we discussing? Keep talking and go!"

Zhang Mao said with a smile, bringing the court discussion back on track.

The ministers started talking among themselves, and they all took a deep breath.

"Why do I think...why do these two names sound so familiar?"

"Marquis Zhongshan, are you kidding?"

"Da Sima, I am asking you, if the Ministry of War cannot do the logistics work for the soldiers, then let me, the Fifth Prefecture, do it!"

Tang Hao faced everyone's gaze and sat expressionlessly on his seat.

Today, they want to confirm Tang Hao's identity as a reckless man and let everyone in the government and the public know that there is such a reckless man in the Ming Dynasty who shaves his head and removes his beard!

Liu Jian spoke expressionlessly and repeated the story of Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, taking advantage of his merits to ask for a reward.

But today, three people came together and forced themselves to sit in front of this table!

Compared to the British Duke Zhang Mao and the Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui, everyone's eyes were focused on one person at this moment.

Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, sneered and said: "I think the Marquis of Zhongshan has never been on the battlefield, so he doesn't understand the military merit system, right?"

The person involved is Zhu Hui, the protector of the country!

Grand Governor, British Duke Zhang Mao!

The new army admiral, Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao!

"After investigation, during this expedition, Baoguo Gong only participated in the killing of Chen Xiong by more than 80 ranks, and also plundered 2,700 people. However, Baoguo Gong reported that the number of meritorious soldiers was more than 20,000, and the reported All are untrue, what do you think of this case?”

The authority of the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army was gradually deprived by the Ministry of War, until it was finally reduced to an empty frame. The Governor of the Five Armed Forces also withdrew from the court discussions.

After all, there is no difference between their presence and absence. They don’t have any power in their hands, so how can they be qualified to sit here and discuss the overall situation of national affairs!

Shaving your hair and removing your beard is like a barbarian!

How dare he do this Tang Hao?

"Marquis of Zhongshan!" Li Dongyang replied impatiently: "The truth has been found out by Yan Zhongyu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Deng Zhang, the prime minister of Dali Temple..."

Zhang Mao smiled and said, "What? I, the Governor of the Five Prefectures, can't participate in the court meeting?"

Let's first set a tone. Zhu Hui's report was untrue and he was taking credit for his reward.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

"How ridiculous!"

"Normally, if you get one Northern barbarian head, you can be promoted to the first level or get fifty taels of silver. If you behead the Southern barbarians and the heads of civilian thieves, there will be corresponding records of military achievements to prove it..."

The Ming Dynasty's war merit system is divided into three types: extraordinary merit, first merit, and secondary merit.

Even the old chief assistant Liu Jian was a little dumbfounded at the moment, looking at Tang Hao's incredulity in disbelief!

For example, Chang Yuchun, the unparalleled general of the time, in the battle of Caishiji, due to the Yuan army's tight defense, the Ming navy was unable to break through the defense line and go ashore. He rushed ashore alone and tore apart the Yuan army's defense line with his own strength. There was a gap, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to swarm the Yuan army and was defeated.

Then the next few words will invalidate his merits in resisting insults, and at the worst, give some rewards to the real meritorious officer Chen Xiong and his soldiers.

Liu Jian's expression changed for the first time, and he shouted angrily: "Tang Hao, you are such a bastard!"

"Oh, by the way, Jinyiwei recently arrested a group of corrupt officials who were reselling salt. It seems that these two are also among them?"

The three of them came hand in hand and sat directly in front of the court table.

Shaving off hair and beard, so what?

The person sitting in front of you is Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty and a reckless man who holds the Beijing army in his hands!

You said that our Ministry of War cannot manage the military affairs well, but what about your Fifth Army Commander's Office?

But before the ministers could speak, a group of three people suddenly walked in.

Liu Jian, the old chief assistant, said coldly: "What was the result of the five government's control of the world's military affairs in the past? It has only been so many years since the civil disaster, have we forgotten it now?"

After the court meeting, people should be sent to investigate immediately to find out the true identity of Tang Hao!

In this great Ming Dynasty, a land of etiquette, how could a god-killing barbarian with his hair and beard shaved appear in the court?

In fact, he didn't want to hide it at all. Instead, he wanted to use this matter to gain more benefits.

"Hey...shave your hair and beard?"

Miraculous merit is particularly difficult. It requires the performer to make a performance that determines the outcome of the battle, such as killing generals and capturing flags, besieging a city for the first time, breaking through enemy formations, etc.

Take Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, for example. I don't know if he "killed good people", but "taking credit" is the real fact!

He was not wearing armor today, so the secret of "shaving his hair and removing his beard" naturally could not be hidden.

Or... is he just a barbarian?

"Yan Zhongyu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Deng Zhang, the prime minister of Dali Temple?"

No!

To be precise, it was focused on his face!

Military officers and nobles also bear a great deal of responsibility for civil disasters. Stop barking here!

Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui both changed their expressions. They mentioned the civil disaster, which was the pain of the military commander Xungui's life!

Tang Hao touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Then he said something that shocked the officials' expressions.

When all the ministers heard what he said, their faces were livid, especially Liu Daxia, the Minister of War!

Tang Hao, this beast, is not making jokes, but wants to seize the authority of the Ministry of War!

"Anyone who achieves extraordinary feats or top achievements will be reported to the leader personally. Anyone who reports falsely will be punished with a serious crime. During the camp and the next camp, if a spy is captured, he will be rewarded with a higher reward. If he is the top figure, he will be rewarded."

Marquis of Zhongshan, Tang Hao!

It is true that most of the power of the Ministry of War is wrested from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion!

But so many years have passed and it has long been customized. Is there any reason to return it?

This is a disgrace to our ancestors!

"The Tang family is a noble family after all. How could they have such bad habits as shaving their hair and beards?"

Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui looked at each other, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

I don’t know when the court discussion started, but it became the sole voice of the civil servants and gentry. Including the ministers of the Ministry of War, they were all civil servants and gentry.

Tang Hao had a joking smile on his face, and his taunting skills were maxed out.

"The soldiers fought bloody battles on the front line, but in the end they did not get the rewards they deserved. Doesn't this chill the hearts of the heroes and soldiers?"

For a time, thousands of thoughts flashed through Liu Jian's mind, and for the first time he paid attention to Tang Hao's true identity!

"In the past, when the Five Governments were in charge of the world's military affairs, there was never such trouble. After the soldiers fought a battle, they could not ask for rewards. They had to send special personnel to verify. I don't know which of your ancestors left it as a legal precedent. !”

Therefore, the war merit system of the Ming Dynasty was actually quite complete. However, the problem was that some military officers and soldiers did not hesitate to kill good people and take merit in order to gain promotions. There are many examples.

Tang Hao, a savage, is so sharp-tongued that he can make people mad to death when he opens his mouth!

But this time, as soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao spoke.

"This Zhongshan Marquis...could he be a barbarian?"

"Have you really found out?" Tang Hao continued to output, saying: "Where did these two find out? Have they been to the Xuanfu battlefield? Have they personally counted the heads of the barbarians? Or have they asked? The little Mongolian prince?”

"What?" Tang Hao faced the chief minister of the cabinet directly and said with a chuckle: "The people you sent there have dirty hands and feet, so you have the nerve to call Baoguo Gong corrupt for unfulfilled merit?"

"Why don't Lord Yuanfu personally go to the Xuanfu battlefield to find out how many prisoners Bao Guo Gong killed in this battle?"
