The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

The next morning.

Tang Hao and Zhang Maozheng came to court talking and laughing.

In fact, Tang Hao and the young emperor were fully prepared for today's court meeting, just waiting for someone to jump in!

Therefore, no matter what Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang plan to do, it seems that they cannot escape this disaster.

Before Tang Hao went to court, he thought carefully about it, but unfortunately all his assumptions were rejected one by one.

Because this time, the person who wants to expel Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia from the court is not only Tang Hao, but also the little emperor!

During the last Ye Qi reform incident, the young emperor wanted to do this, but unfortunately he was stopped in time by Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, so in the end he just restored the old system of paying grain and opening up the country, and then the matter was dropped.

"Their demands are simple."

Tang Hao's face was expressionless and he had no comment on this statement.

At this moment, the cold wind is blowing on the earth, but it cannot blow the "proud" of these officials in front of me!

"Tsk, tsk, what a big gesture!"

In the Ming Dynasty, only the direct descendants could be given the posthumous title of the emperor and the emperor's biological mother could not be given the posthumous title of the emperor and be enshrined in the Cidian Temple. Therefore, the official of the Department of Science and Technology, the Minister of Rites, Yao Kui and others knelt down outside the Wenhua Gate and asked Emperor Chenghua made an immediate decision. In the end, Emperor Chenghua was forced by the pressure of his ministers to bury him in the imperial mausoleum with etiquette.

The most typical example is that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin soldiers went south to encircle the Song Dynasty. Grand Prime Minister Li Bangyan advocated ceding territory and seeking peace. Officials and scholars in Beijing, led by Chen Dong, a student of Tai Tai, and tens of thousands of people "Fu Que" asked Li Bangyan to be executed. The main war official Li Gang was reused. As a result, Song Qinzong, under pressure from his ministers, had to appoint Li Gang as the capital's defense envoy and expel Li Bangyan from the court.

"Today's Fuque incident has proved this to Your Majesty. The Metropolitan Procuratorate must rectify it!"

There are some things that cannot be thought about deeply, otherwise it will make people feel disgusting!

However, Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, is now unable to control the people under his command, which has led to such a shocking disaster!

But if he doesn’t do it, there are many people who do it, and now is the best example!

Liu Jian couldn't understand what Li Dongyang said to him, so that Mr. Zhang, who had been honest and upright all his life, had to kill Tang Hao!

The little emperor clenched his fists, obviously feeling very uneasy.

"Savage, what do you want to do?"

The word "but" is used very cleverly.

"In a nutshell, His Majesty will be an emperor who rules from the top down and hand over all military and political power to civil servants and gentry. This is the result they want to see most!"

It is simply impossible to defeat him and expel him from the court based on just one incident of "Ye Qi's Reform"!

Tang Hao asked again.

However, this time is completely different!

That time it was because of the two queen mothers of Zhu Qizhen, the war god of the Ming Dynasty. Queen Qian was the first wife, and Queen Zhou was the biological mother of Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Chenghua. After Queen Qian died, she was buried in the imperial mausoleum as a nephew, but Queen Zhou was not dead yet, she thought. To seize this position and be buried together with Zhu Qizhen is to violate the etiquette of a direct descendant.

"But what is the difference between such an emperor and a puppet?"

The ministers are in trouble, this kind of thing happened the first time, and there will be a second time!

If the person taking the lead was Tu Xun, Liu Jian could still persuade him, but it was Zhang Fuhua!

Zhang Fuhua is an official, and he is the kind of person who will never look back once he has set his sights on the goal.

"Okay!" Tang Hao asked again, "What do you think of Master Yuanfu?"

He couldn't persuade him, and there was nothing he could do to persuade him!

From the fourth quarter of Yin hour to the hour of Mao hour, there are still about twenty or thirty minutes left.

Once this happens, either the emperor will bloodbath the ministers, or the emperor will give in to satisfy the political demands of the ministers!

The people under his command made such a big noise, but Liu Jian was completely unaware of it!

The situation has developed out of control now, and Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, is guilty of negligence!

After all, most of the officials above the court are cabinet ministers, and a small number are chief ministers of heaven.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the emperor's office of ears, eyes, and moral discipline, specializes in correcting and impeaching hundreds of officials, defending those who have been wronged, and supervising various departments.

hiss……

"His Majesty the Emperor takes one step back, and the civil servants and gentry will take ten thousand steps forward!"

"Absolutely not!" Liu Jian became anxious.

"Even if there are some borers and rice bugs mixed in, most of the scientific officials were instigated by others, so they did..."

He understood better than anyone else that the civil servants and gentry had touched His Majesty the Emperor's fault this time.

As for now, if they dare to do this, are they sure that the little emperor dare not kill anyone?

"I didn't see the important ministers of the Nine Qing Dynasties just now, not even Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia!"

"According to the information collected by the factory guard, General Xian Tu Xun, who is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is not one of their people, right? Then why are these officials..."

"Starting from the fifth watch, this group of Yushike Taoist officials began to gather together. At Mao hour, they arrived in front of Chengtian Gate and knelt down silently in a large area!"

"I didn't know about it, and it was already too late when I learned the news!"

"What do the Marquis of Zhongshan want to do?" Liu Jian calmed down and asked.

When the old chief assistant Liu Jian heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

The little emperor listened quietly, then stepped forward to help Liu Jian up.

"Marquis Zhongshan, you are finally here!"

What about the second time?

Was he going to be imprisoned again and force His Majesty the Emperor to kill the Eight Tigers eunuchs?

Liu Jian shook his head, with a bitter look on his face.

What do you think?

The ministers "fuque" are tantamount to "forcing the palace"!

However, Empress Dowager Zhou secretly changed the design of Zhu Qizhen's mausoleum so that she could be buried with Yingzong in the future. Moreover, although Empress Qian shared the same mausoleum with Yingzong, it was in a different tunnel. The burial place was several feet away from Yingzong's Xuantang, and the tunnel in the middle It was filled, but Zhou Hou's tunnel on his side was empty and very close.

"Hurry up and follow our family into the palace to meet the saint!"

A smile appeared on Tang Hao's lips, and he said jokingly.

From the beginning, the little emperor's goal was Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang!

In this ancient court, the court went to court earlier, exactly at Mao hour, around six in the morning.

Taking the initiative to become an official, abdicating one's position in favor of talents, and still retaining a bit of dignity as a senior official.

One by one, it’s best to expel them all from the court!

"This department of the Emperor's ears, eyes, ears, and discipline has now become a tool for the ministers to force the Emperor to give in and compromise. How can it be allowed?"

Liu Jian became more and more anxious as he spoke, and even knelt down in front of the little emperor.

As a result, now, it has become a tool used by Li Dongyang and others to force the young emperor to kill Tang Hao. It is indeed ironic to the extreme.

For the first time, His Majesty the Emperor gave in and compromised, beheading the Marquis of Zhongshan!

"This is actually an opportunity to rectify the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

The former Song Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats were a well-known political group. Even the emperor dared to write articles and memorials to criticize them in person!

The "Fu Que" incident involving officials of the Ming Dynasty began during the Chenghua period.

I don't understand what the Empress Dowager Zhou was thinking when Zhu Qizhen, a scum among scum, rushed to be buried with him and wanted to have a tryst with him after his death.

After all, Li Dongyang has full wings, and his disciples and old friends are all over the government and the public.

Li Dongyang is a smart man, it depends on whether he is really smart or just a little smart.

The abnormal political system of the former Song Dynasty caused the ministerial power to expand to a high degree, and even seemed to overtake the imperial power for a time.

Chengtianmen is Tiananmen, the main entrance to the imperial city of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't let me down! Don't betray my trust either!"

I vow to kill the Marquis of Zhongshan!

This time, Tang Hao was silent.

Therefore, since the goal of restoring the old system has been achieved, that is enough. There is no need to continue to pursue and disturb the whole court.

"But if civil servants and gentry control the government, will the world be at peace? The Hongzhi Dynasty is the best example!"

"Chen Dajue, what are the backgrounds of these officials?"

If Li Dongyang refuses to repent and insists on fighting with the little emperor, then this last dignity may not be preserved.

What a borrowed knife to kill!

Li Dongyang, you really want to die!

Tang Hao grinned happily, very satisfied with the little emperor's performance today.

There is another person in the main hall, the old cabinet minister Liu Jian.

Then, there can only be one final winner, and it can only be His Majesty the Emperor!

"You and I both know that these science and education officials are just being bewitched and instigated by others. Their intentions are good and they want to make the country more proud, but there are villains who are making noises, so they act like this!"

"What should we do now? Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia didn't even show up!"

Therefore, it was inevitable that he hesitated.

"If you kill me, the Marquis of Zhongshan, today, tomorrow they will ask Your Majesty to kill the Eight Tigers eunuchs!"

The little emperor looked at Tang Hao and said these words with a moving expression.

What Chen Kuan didn't finish was nothing more than anger from the little emperor, but he was also a little panicked.

Therefore, in order to satisfy the request of his biological mother, Emperor Chenghua ordered his ministers to choose a place outside the emperor's mausoleum to bury the queen. This was naturally not in line with etiquette. After all, the queen of Qian was the first wife's direct descendant, and the queen of Zhou was just the mother's son. It’s just expensive, she used to be just a noble concubine.

There is no way, this matter is too big, and it is difficult for the inner court to even know about it!

The ministers faced Tianque, they dared to use such an extreme method!

Is this a sign that Guizhou's donkey is at the end of its rope, or is it that a dog has jumped over the wall in a hurry?

I saw a large number of officials kneeling on the ground outside Chengtian Gate. At a glance, there were probably more than a hundred people!

Zhang Fuhua!

A veteran of the Five Dynasties!

Dinghai Shenzhen!

My dear!

How can I help someone?

Is it worth making such a fuss out of such a fuss, that Fuchou forced the young emperor to kill me?

Tang Hao couldn't help but laugh, but he discovered something was wrong.

Make Ming Dynasty great again! ! !

"Savage, go ahead and do it!"

After Liu Jian learned the news, he hurried to the outside of Chengtian Gate.

Chen Kuan opened his mouth and quickly explained: "When the soldiers of the imperial army who were guarding the palace gate saw this, they immediately reported it to the inner court. Then our family reported the matter to His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty was furious, but... he has been waiting for Marquis Tang!"

"Because of Zhang Fuhua!" Chen Kuan gave the answer directly, "The white-haired old man kneeling at the front just now is the only remaining elder of the Five Dynasties and the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Tang Hao nodded and then gave Zhang Mao a look.

"I don't know how Li Dongyang and the others invited this person to take the lead and kneel there, vowing to kill you!"

"Then what are their demands?"

The civil servants and gentry were all forced to surrender, so this matter was really a big deal!

This never happened even during the Hongwu period!

In other words, this was a prepared and premeditated "Chaotianque" incident.

Because civil servants and gentry dare not!

Emperor Taizu Gao was really good at cutting off people’s heads!

In fact, Liu Jian had to come, he had to come!

Chen Kuan, the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Tang Hao, he immediately came over to greet him.

"His presence alone is enough!"

Tang Hao sneered: "What else can be done? I suggest killing them directly, killing those who deserve to be killed, and arresting those who deserve to be arrested!"

Why did Liu Jian call for a halt?

It is to stabilize the overall situation of the government!

"Savage, you are finally here!"

Chen Kuan stopped when he heard this and turned to look at him.

After all, Zhu Houzhao is only fifteen or sixteen years old now. He has never experienced such a big scene as Ke Dao Yan Guan Chaotian Que!

Chaotian Que, also known as "Fu Que", is the most intense means for civil servants and gentry to fight against the emperor!

Haha, the little emperor didn't dare to kill, but Tang Hao did!

Zhang Mao glanced at the officials who were kneeling stubbornly in the cold wind, then sneered and strode away.

The fifth watch day is around five o'clock in the morning. When the city gate is about to open, it is almost dawn.

"There are a total of 117 people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but there are no designated members for the left and right censors of the capital, the left and right deputy censors, and the left and right censors of the general capital. Currently, there are about 130 or so censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Beijing. Everyone is kneeling outside!"

"Release He Tianqu and the other thirty-two censors, and then kill the Marquis of Zhongshan!"

Liu Jian is an official, he would never do such a thing in his life!

It’s indeed too late, or it’s all said and done.

To put it bluntly, the struggle between ministerial power and imperial power has always existed in all dynasties.

However, he did not respond to Liu Jian, but looked directly at Tang Hao.

In these ancient dynasties, ministers used "Fu Que" to fight against the imperial power. This phenomenon happened many times.

However, when Tang Hao and Zhang Mao walked to the Chengtian Gate, they were stunned for a moment.

This group of scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty had many "fuque" struggles, and the fierce conflict between monarch and ministers was particularly prominent in the past dynasties.

This time, the civil servant Jin Shen completely broke up with the little emperor.

Tang Hao did not answer the little emperor's question, but turned to look at the old chief assistant Liu Jian.

Master Shao Guoyu, this is not an easy thing for any emperor.

For example, Yao Kui and other officials, they Fu Que told Emperor Chenghua that we must adhere to the etiquette and etiquette. Only the direct descendants can be given the posthumous title of the emperor and the nephew of the ancestral temple, so that your Zhou queen can calm down as soon as possible.

Naturally, this group of ministers "Fu Que" did not do it because they were full, but to express their political demands to the emperor. To put it bluntly, it was a way of fighting against the emperor, but this fight was very fierce.

Tang Hao said with a smile: "Didn't the Yang Yuan incident last time serve as a reminder? Kedao Yanguan has the privilege of hearing and telling stories, so naturally he cannot be reduced to a yes man for others, a tool for others to fight for power and profit, and to exclude dissidents!"

"Please let your Majesty know clearly that these officials, including Mr. Zhang, are all upright people who are dedicated to serving the country. They are all respectful to Your Majesty!"

If he is really a smart man, then he should understand that this time he must become an official.

Tang Hao followed Chen Kuan into the palace and asked subconsciously on the way.

Lao Guogong immediately understood and simply changed his route back to his hometown, not to interfere with this matter anymore.

"East Factory and West Factory, everything is under your command!"

Soon the Qianqing Palace arrived, and the little emperor was sitting on the dragon throne with a gloomy face.

"Lord Yuan Fu, are you... aware of this matter?"

"Tomorrow they will kill the Eight Tigers eunuchs, and the next day His Majesty re-appoints someone, they will repeat their old tricks again and ask Your Majesty to kill him!"

However, Zhu Houzhao did not forget the common goal between him and Tang Hao!

"The people are destitute and their wealth is exhausted, and the army and the people are in hardship. This is the result of their efforts to govern. All the money and food go into their own pockets. The army and the people are naturally in poverty, and the people are naturally in poverty. This is the real evil in the world!"

"So, it's time to teach these great Ming scholars and officials what the "duty of a minister" is!"
