The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

The next morning.

Wenhua Palace court discussion.

Tang Hao originally did not want to attend today's court meeting.

After all, it was nothing more than arguing with the civil servants and gentry about the Japanese mission.

But if he doesn't come, the little emperor will have to fight alone, and he may be criticized by these civil servants and gentry.

Therefore, Tang Hao came anyway.

After all, this matter started because of him, and the little emperor could not be allowed to bear the pressure alone.

He's just a little kid of fifteen or sixteen!

No wonder his master dared to be so ambitious. If Ashikaga Yoshivi was in this situation now, with all the power and a large number of troops at his disposal, he would have the same thoughts!

Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, spoke out and told everything about yesterday, including Li Shiqun's favoritism for Japanese people.

"The Japanese mission is of great importance and involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries!"

But the problem is that the sanctity of justice cannot be trampled on, which is also the foundation of the Three Law Divisions!

Therefore, Zhang Fuhua finally took action and directly put the matter on the table!

Liu Jian looked at Tang Hao coldly and said in a deep voice: "Tang Hou, do you have anything to say?"

The ministers also looked at Zhang Sheng with confused faces.

Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng's expressions changed greatly, and they both looked at Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao.

Looking at what this man has done in recent times, he has all made decisions before acting, without any impulsive actions. He seems to be a brainless man, but in fact he is rough and subtle. Otherwise, Li Dongyang, Liu Daxia and other Huguang Township Party members would not be able to do anything. I will be so suppressed by him that I can’t hold my head up!

So, why did Tang Hao target the Japanese mission? What was he planning?

"Master Yuanfu's words are quite interesting!"

"The first thing to discuss in court!"

"It is true that it was the Japanese deputy envoy who insulted the people of the Ming Dynasty first!"

Liu Jian, the old chief assistant, had no expression on his face and officially started today's discussion.

And according to Tang Hao's plan, today's court meeting will probably be very interesting.

A mere foreign barbarian, the deputy envoy of a small country, really thinks of himself as a person!

After coming to the Ming Dynasty, he still dared to bully others and insult the people of the Ming Dynasty. It would not be an exaggeration to kill such a beast a thousand times!

"The blind old man's daughter, an ordinary citizen, deserves to be humiliated to death by these Japanese bastards?"

"Well, I do have something to say!"

In fact, Liu Jian has been having trouble understanding it since he learned about it. He couldn't figure out what Tang Hao wanted to do!

The exploration and cooperation trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty was based on mutual benefit and reciprocity. It was not just the Japanese country that benefited. Daming also made a lot of profits from this exploration and cooperation trade, which could at least fill the shortage of domestic copper mines.

"In our capital of the Ming Dynasty, this Japanese barbarian was driven by others to openly assassinate an important official in the court. Shouldn't he be killed?"

These two true kings of the court are really confused at this moment, and they can't figure out what Tang Hao wants to do!

After a while, Ashikaga Yoshi walked into the Wenhua Hall respectfully, then knelt on the ground and saluted the little emperor on the platform.

"Now, you'd better release the Japanese mission immediately, otherwise the diplomatic relations between the two countries will be destroyed because of you alone, then you, Tang Hao, will be the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty!"

If this idea is confirmed, Zhang Sheng's reputation in life will be completely ruined, and he may be stabbed in the back by the common people!

"That's unreasonable!"

Although what Zhongshan Hou said was very unpleasant and harsh, I have to admit that he was right!

"I...I didn't mean that!" Zhang Sheng was anxious and wanted to defend himself.

Zhu Houzhao was full of expectation and stared at the door without blinking.

"Do you have to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries and start a war between the two countries?"

None of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were so stupid!

As a result, you Tang Hao killed the Japanese deputy envoy after a disagreement, and also mobilized troops to arrest the Japanese envoy directly. What on earth do you want to do?

Where the hell are you going to find witnesses?

Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng looked at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"A bunch of bastards who don't even care for their own children, a bunch of trash who eat the food grown by the common people, wear the clothes woven by the common people, but let the common people be bullied by foreign bastards. I feel embarrassed and disgusted when I see you!"

All the court officials looked at Tang Hao with unkind expressions.

Even the little emperor was quite surprised, with a smile on his lips.

What determination?

Determination to be a dog to the Marquis of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty!

"Ashikaga Yoshimi, according to the rules, I should accept your congratulations at the grand ceremony!"

"Everyone knows the right and wrong. Whether you deliberately targeted the Japanese envoy, or whether the Japanese deputy envoy assassinated you, you know it in your heart. We are not blind, and we will be fooled by your few words."

Hearing this, Liu Jian frowned.

Therefore, after hearing this, all the ministers generally understood the whole story.

Zhang Sheng's face turned pale and he silently closed his mouth.

He said that sin should not lead to death because of political considerations.

"Your Majesty clearly knows this, but I don't know!"

"What you say about sin not leading to death is based on the premise that a woman's life has been ruined. How can you have the nerve to say such a thing?"

Ashikaga Yoshimi's words made the ministers secretly sigh in relief.

He was like a bystander, telling all the facts without emotion.

"Zhongshan Hou, what else do you have to say?"

What?

Is the witness a Japanese envoy?

"That Ouchi Hirosada was born in the Ouchi clan, the "overlord of the Western Kingdom" in the western part of Honshu. He has always been arrogant and domineering and is not controlled by foreign ministers."

Tsk, tsk, savages are awesome!

While the little emperor was sighing, Ashikaga Yoshimi also raised his head slightly disrespectfully and observed the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

"Ashikaga Yoshimi, do you know who instigated Ouchi Hirosada to assassinate Lord Nakayama?"

"Obviously it was the deputy envoy of Japan, Ouchi Hongzhen, who assassinated me. How could it be that I deliberately undermined the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask someone to come to the palace to prove my innocence!"

But no one dared to refute, or there was nothing to refute.

To control this Ashikaga Yoshimi so quickly?

It seems that the skills of our savages are really unpredictable!

But he has not forgotten the important things his master told him.

Tang Hao simply stepped on the laws of the Ming Dynasty under his feet and trampled them wantonly!

The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are the three authoritative institutions representing the judiciary of the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, the Metropolitan Procuratorate now has the power of independent investigation, and it has become a behemoth, and its power is even greater than that of the Criminal Department!

Because of this, Zhang Fuhua had to say this.

"The reason why I killed people was because these Japanese people assassinated me!"

After all, Tang Hao went too far!

Kill people in the street!

What is this concept?

Even if there is a reason, you must not kill someone in the street!

young!

"But the case of your country's deputy envoy assassinating our court's Marquis Zhongshan occurred yesterday, and now we need you to go to court to testify!"

This was the first time they had seen such an arrogant and domineering person!

He kills people in the street in full view of the public and regards etiquette, law and discipline as nothing. He is truly a reckless barbarian!

Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Tang Hao looked at Zhang Fuhua subconsciously.

To be honest, trade with foreign missions was one of the important sources of the Ming Dynasty's finance. It was not only the Japanese country, but also other vassal countries. The two sides exchanged what they had, and achieved mutual benefit and win-win results.

"Okay, you don't believe it, do you?"

"But even so, it is not a crime that leads to death..."

"What's the difference between you and that Li Shiqun? You're such a servile and coquettish person. The Japanese are bullying you. You don't dare to take action and you still want to coax them into offering sacrifices. Then why don't you give them your wives and daughters to play with? Let's play with them. Until they are satisfied?"

Only by confirming Ouchi Hongzhen's assassination of Zhongshan Marquis can the Ming court be able to legitimately accuse the Japanese nation, and then take this opportunity to promote Tang Hao's plan against the Japanese nation!

So, the question now is, how to put this big blame on Japan?

The cause of this incident was naturally Ouchi Hirozada, the deputy envoy of Japan.

"We are all not fools. We all know why the deputy envoy of Japan took that woman away forcibly. It was just because he saw her beauty, so he had evil thoughts!"

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

"Is your Zhang Sheng's daughter a human being?"

"If I don't take action, if I watch helplessly, what will happen to that woman in the end? Can the eldest uncle tell me?"

Hearing these vulgar words, all the court officials frowned.

Otherwise, why did the Ming Dynasty allow foreign missions to pay tribute?

Is it just for a little bit of the false reputation of "the Kingdom of Heaven"?

"but!"

Was Tang Hao wrong?

Of course there is, he shouldn't kill people in the street, and he shouldn't label Ouchi Hirosada as an assassin!

However, the question is, should Ouchi Hirosada be killed?

Damn it indeed!

Even at the moment, all the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, including Zhang Fuhua, could be said to be imperialists, and they should help Tang Hao, the emperor's confidant, speak for them.

Hearing the young emperor's childish words, Ashikaga Yoshivi sneered in his heart.

If this beast hadn't taken advantage of him and insisted on taking that woman away, how could he have caused the following incidents and lost his life in vain?

"how?"

Is it possible that you still want to take the opportunity to send troops to the Japanese country to make achievements?

Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, shouldn’t be such a fool!

It's obviously you who framed me!

Liu Jian, the old chief assistant, couldn't help scolding: "Even if the Japanese deputy envoy deserves to die, even if you are justified in killing him, why do you still use the pretext of assassination to mobilize troops to arrest everyone in the Japanese envoy?"

It was bad luck. The Japanese deputy envoy was tired of playing, and other Japanese people also wanted to try it. Then this woman was really worse off than death. Even if she was lucky to survive in the end, she would probably commit suicide without hesitation!

"The Imperial Envoy Ashikaga Yoshimi is paying homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor. I wish His Majesty a long life and good fortune, as the heaven and earth are endless forever!"

Tang Hao looked around the audience with cold eyes, his true nature as a troll was completely exposed.

Isn’t what you said true?

Why is it that looking at this situation now, the Marquis of Zhongshan is very confident?

Zhang Sheng was also a little confused, with a look of confusion on his face.

He also wanted to see what his savages could do to set fire to the Japanese nation!

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

The Japanese deputy envoy assassinated Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao?

He's crazy to do this!

"But I sent someone to secretly follow Ouchi Hirozada, wanting to see who he was conspiring with!"

In fact, the reason why Zhang Fuhua wanted to impeach Tang Hao was because there was nothing he could do about it.

But what he said next made the officials feel horrified.

"It's just that I don't know these Ming officials. The only useful information is that Ouchi Hongzhen visited a guild hall many times. What's it called... Huguang Guild Hall!"

"Who the hell dares to say that these Japanese bastards are not guilty enough to die? I will let you try how it feels to have your wife and daughter humiliated to death by them!"

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao for killing people in the street and violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty. According to the law... he should be executed!"

"Doesn't a crime lead to death?" Tang Hao interrupted Zhang Sheng and asked in a cold tone, "Then in Uncle Zong's opinion, what is a capital crime?"

"After Ouchi Hongzhen arrived in the capital, he contacted a certain force, and the two parties conspired to assassinate the Marquis of Zhongshan. The foreign minister learned about this matter when Ouchi Hongzhen was drunk and lost his voice. He thought it was just a joke, but he didn't expect this thief. How could he be so insane that he actually dared to assassinate the Marquis of Zhongshan!"

After all, he was the deputy envoy of Japan, not a cat or a dog. Killing him would affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries!

No, it can even be said to be young!

"Tanghou!" Tianguan Ma Wensheng finally couldn't help but speak, "Don't say any more about these reasons and excuses!"

So Ashikaga Yoshivi immediately spoke and said: "Your Majesty, it is clear that this matter is indeed true!"

Tang Hao smiled and said: "I was indeed the one who killed the Japanese deputy envoy!"

He deliberately killed people in the street to make the matter bigger, then went to the palace to request the arrest of the Japanese envoys, forcing the Japanese envoy to give him false testimony, and then used this matter to fight against dissidents and exclude dissidents, taking this opportunity to attack his hostile forces in the court!

Is this madman going to make waves again?

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly darkened, and his expression was well managed.

At this time, all the court officials were dumbfounded.

"Accurate!" On the platform, the little emperor immediately approved.

"Tanghou!"

It wasn't until this moment that they finally realized that this Marquis of Zhongshan was really ruthless and cruel!

"How can such a servile person like you have the face to stand in front of me, in the court, and on the land of my Ming Dynasty?!"

Even if the Central Plains dynasty believed in the destiny of the emperor and could not directly kill the little emperor and proclaim himself emperor, but would it be the same to ignore the little emperor and become an uncrowned king?

Therefore, because Zhu Houzhao is young, it actually strengthens Ashikaga Yoshimi's determination!

Tang Ritian, the eternal sinner!

Tang Hao almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was strange.

"Why don't I, as a grown man, arrest the women of Zhang Sheng's family and give them to those Japanese miscellaneous people for their sexual pleasures? Then you will come and tell me what it means to sin without death?"

What will happen?

What else could happen?

It’s nothing more than being humiliated to death!

With any luck, the Japanese deputy envoy would get tired of playing with her and throw her out of the hall and leave her on the street to fend for herself.

As long as the joint trade is reached, the Japanese mission can make a lot of money. The two sides have maintained this trade model for decades, and there have never been any problems!

Now, you, the Marquis of Zhongshan, not only killed someone, but also beat them up and accused them of trying to assassinate you?

Do you really think that all the gentry in this court are fools, and you are allowed to confuse right and wrong here?

"Zhongshan Hou, don't you think this is ridiculous?"

Who doesn't know that the reason why these Japanese people came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty was because of the profits from the exploration trade?

The newly promoted true king of the court seemed to have not woken up. The old god huddled aside and said nothing.

Little Emperor: "!!!"

All the Jin gentry in the court said: "!!!"
