The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

The next morning.

The court meeting begins.

Tang Hao sat among them with two blood-red eyes.

Last night, he, Mou Bin, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and others interrogated the descendants of the Xu family all night, so they didn't sleep all night.

But this court meeting has to come. Even if it cannot decide anything, it must at least express the nobility of the military commanders. The court meeting must not be allowed to become a forum for civil servants and gentry.

Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, looked gloomy and immediately presided over today's court meeting.

The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the cases they handle are naturally ordered by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Ye Zhi is the successor of Ye Qi, and Xu Yuankai is the eldest son of Mr. Xu Ge. Jin Yiwei arrested them one after another. This case is really earth-shattering!"

Mou Bin took a deep look at Min Gui, and then said in a cold voice: "I have already told you that Jin Yiwei is handling the case, and I have no comment!"

Tang Hao spoke lazily, with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

For example, the driving force behind Ye Qi's current reform was Xu Pu, the then chief minister of the cabinet.

After all, Zhu Houzhao was still very young, and he was inevitably passionate and impulsive. He couldn't see these civil servants and gentry making jokes here, so he made it clear that the army wanted to get to the bottom of it!

Ye Qi wants to investigate!

"A large number of officials impeached Jin Yiwei for abusing lynching and killing loyal people!"

Min Gui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, asked: "I wonder what case Jin Yiwei is handling? It has caused a stir in the city, and even I have heard about it."

"What does Min Shangshu mean by this? When will Jin Yiwei handle the case, will your Criminal Department still have the qualifications to intervene?"

"Yes, I was the one who beat him. What's wrong?"

"Da Sikou, when will the Criminal Department be able to intervene in Jinyiwei's affairs? Why didn't I know?"

If Liu Jian was really like this, he would not have kept his memorial from others before.

"The first thing to discuss today is that a large number of officials have impeached Tang Hao, Marquis of Zhongshan, for being arrogant and domineering. He committed murder and injured people at the gate of the palace. We request your Majesty to punish him severely!"

"Zhongshan Marquis, do you have anything to say?" Liu Jian looked at Tang Hao with a smile.

Tang Hao looked indifferent and raised his hand directly.

It's just that this will affect the reputation of the little emperor. After all, the Zhang brothers are his uncles, so Tang Hao is very unhappy and takes the blame.

"Is the court meeting just your opinion, Min Gui? You can do whatever you want? Why don't you ask His Majesty what case the Jin Yiwei is investigating?"

The person behind the scenes was aware of the danger, so he deliberately asked the official to impeach him in order to muddy the waters!

After all, it is an established fact that he, Tang Hao, committed murder and injured people at the gate of the palace.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Hao himself was stunned, and even the little emperor on the platform was confused.

However, Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, suddenly spoke up and pointed the finger at Ye Qi and Xu Pu!

"Chilling?" Tang Hao smiled and took over the conversation.

As soon as these words came out, Min Gui immediately stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Feeling this?" the little emperor asked with a smile: "How do you feel? Or are you afraid that this case will implicate you?"

In fact, he really wanted to tell the officials the truth directly and let him deal with the Zhang brothers, but he was the little emperor.

"Mr. Xu Ge has worked hard for the country all his life. Now everyone is kidnapped by the Jin Yiwei. There is not even a decent reason. I'm afraid it will be difficult to silence everyone!"

Impeach Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan?

What do you mean?

Who leaked the news?

"The third matter discussed in the court today is the case of Xu Pu, the Grand Master of the Hongzhi Dynasty, Te Jin, Zuo Zhuguo, and Huagaidian University, colluding with Ye Qi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to reform the law for personal gain, corrupt the salt administration, harm the national interests, and use power for personal gain! "

Min Gui immediately spoke and touched his head to the ground.

Tang Hao's eyes flashed and he reacted immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, some people couldn't sit still.

The second is the civil and military struggle. The border villages are ruined, the nine-border army towns are in depression, and the generals and nobles have lost their arms, and nothing will happen at all.

On the surface, Jin Yiwei was in charge of handling the case, and the civil servants and gentry didn't even know that Tang Hao was hiding in secret!

Could it be...the old chief assistant Liu Jian?

No!

It can't be him!

Why did Xu Pu do this?

The first was the dispute between the northern and southern Jin gentry. After Ye Qi's reform, he was in favor of the southern Jin gentry and suppressed the northern gentry in disguise.

Then he threw aside all the memorials impeaching Tang Hao, and then took out another pile of memorials.

Mou Bin met everyone's gaze and grinned.

The ministers looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and they were all dumbfounded.

Facing His Majesty the Emperor's questioning, it was hard for Min Gui not to panic, but after all, he had been an important minister in the court for such a long time, and he still had the ability to speak in public.

"In the case of Ye Qi's reform, it is suspected that he received bribes from Lianghuai salt merchants and deliberately proposed the reform, which harmed the interests of the country and enriched so many companies. I asked Jin Yiwei to investigate clearly. Now Xu Pu has been found. This Is the reason enough?”

"Tishuai, how do you explain?"

"Since Shouning Marquis and Jianchang Marquis took action first, it really can't be considered a deliberate act of murder!"

Therefore, standing in Xu Pu's position, it was not wrong for him to do this. At least everyone was happy at that time. The only one who suffered was the soldiers and civilians of Jiubian Army Town!

But now, the little emperor wants to investigate this matter strictly, and it is very likely that he will resume the tax payment. Then the people who will suffer then will be the gentry of the Manchu Dynasty!

"Ha, self-defense and counterattack?" Liu Daxia sneered: "Who doesn't know that you broke someone's hands and feet? Can this be called self-defense and counterattack?"

The third reason is that based on the needs of the national situation at that time, the national treasury was empty and in urgent need of money and food. Only by acquiescing to Ye Qi's reform could the normal operation of the court be ensured.

They never thought that His Majesty the Emperor was really determined to investigate this matter strictly.

"Your Majesty has clearly learned that I was just expressing my feelings. Please forgive me!"

"The Zhang brothers made rude remarks first, and then tried to hit someone. I was just fighting back in self-defense. Does self-defense also violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"

Many things that happened in this court naturally cannot withstand investigation.

"These are all memorials for officials to impeach Jin Yiwei!"

"Anyway, it was the Zhang brothers who took action first, and all the soldiers at the palace gate can testify for me. Therefore, the theory of "deliberately committing murder and injuring others" is simply nonsense and cannot be true!"

"Jinyiwei is handling the case. We have no comment until the case comes to light!"

It was just because the Zhang brothers had such an ugly reputation that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty wanted to kill them quickly, so no one cared about them before. Instead, they applauded Tang Hao for "removing harm for the people"!

The result is now good, but a large number of officials have appeared to impeach Tang Hao for committing murder and hurting others. If there is no conspiracy behind this, even a fool will not believe it!

Li Dongyang, the Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, Min Gui, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and others all changed their expressions, and the entire court meeting fell into silence.

"If you are not qualified, you are not qualified. Why do you keep asking me again and again?"

Liu Jian, the old chief assistant, spoke slowly and glanced at some people meaningfully.

Xu Pu wants to investigate even more!

All those who seek profit because of Ye Qi's reform must be investigated!

The little emperor directly showed his sword, and the expressions of many courtiers changed drastically!

"Okay!" The little emperor smiled, "If you want a reason, I will give you one!"

Tang Hao was reminding Min Gui and others about this, don't scream here, your majesty is listening on the platform!

The little emperor also cooperated and looked at Min Gui sharply.

"Tishuai's words are serious!" Min Gui said calmly: "I just want to know in what name Tishuai captured Ye Zhi, Xu Yuankai and others. They are all loyal and loyal members of the country and Jin Yiwei. Isn’t it chilling to act like this?”

What a "self-defense counterattack"!

Then if you want to commit murder and hurt someone, why don't you beat them to death?

"I can't help it. I am too strong and can't hold my hand back for a while. It's not my fault!"

Tang Hao will naturally be able to pull the tiger's skin and pull the banner.

"This is a memorial jointly signed by the Marquis of Zhongshan and Tishuai. Please take a look at it!"

Liu Jian faced the questioning and shocked eyes of everyone, and directly placed the results of the overnight interrogation of Tang Hao and Mou Bin in front of the ministers.

This time, Lord Yuanfu has turned against you!
