The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

died.

Feng'er is dead.

Zhu Houzhao stared at this scene blankly, tears falling unconsciously.

He rushed forward in a hurry, held his sweetheart in his arms, and then let out a heart-rending cry.

The sad look was as if his biological father and mother were dead.

Well, there is an idiom called "like mourning one's concubine", which couldn't be more appropriate at this moment.

"Feng'er?"

"Wake up, Feng'er!"

Zhu Houzhao screamed for a while, but his Feng'er never woke up again.

Tang Hao even had his throat bones broken. He couldn't die any more. How could he still wake up?

After shaking for a while, it was confirmed that Feng'er died tragically. Zhu Houzhao suddenly raised his head and stared at Tang Hao with red eyes.

"You damn bastard!"

"How dare you? How dare you act so boldly and kill me..."

"Kill your what?" Tang Hao sneered: "Kill your concubine, your prostitute, or your plaything?"

"I have reminded you a long time ago that even if you want to play with these dirty things, you can have a son before that. At worst, when you die, the ministers can still support your son. There is no need to let you be like this now. The damn idiot dragged the entire Ming Dynasty to the funeral!"

Faced with Tang Hao's open-mouthed taunts and accusations, the furious Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly stood up and pulled out the Emperor's Sword, intending to kill this "rebellious minister and traitor".

However, Tang Hao did not dodge and looked at Zhu Houzhao with a sneer.

He came naked and left naked, with nothing to regret.

Perhaps the biggest regret is that I chose to believe in Zhu Houzhao, the notoriously absurd emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so that all my hard work over the past few years was in vain!

It is said that in this history, Zhu Houzhao really liked to engage in these crooked ways.

To put it bluntly, it is true that Zhu Houzhao is smart and capable. His only problem is that he was born with so many resources that he developed a naughty nature.

He is the only adult son of Emperor Hongzhi. Even if he had a younger brother, he died in infancy. This means that Zhu Houzhao is the only heir to the Ming Dynasty. No matter how stupid and unscrupulous he is, no matter how cruel and unkind he is, the Ming Dynasty can only have him. An emperor.

Even if the government and the public were alienated from him, and even if there were too many people in the world who wanted him to die immediately, because Zhu Houzhao was the only son of Emperor Hongzhi, they could only endure it honestly and wait for this absurd situation. Death to the foolish emperor!

Historically, Zhu Houzhao was not only a martial and warlike emperor, but also a lewd and lustful emperor.

To what extent can you be lewd and lustful?

He set up a "leopard room politics", often living in the leopard room, collecting beauties and beautiful women from all over the world, as well as beautiful prostitutes. They were trained to be good at singing and dancing, full of evil and charming private prostitutes, for Zhu Houzhao at any time. Play anywhere and let off your lust.

To put it more bluntly, this guy is just a naughty boy who hasn't grown up yet.

In the past, because his father, Emperor Hongzhi, was still alive, he was able to control and restrain him and force him to receive education and cultivate virtue.

As a result, his father, Emperor Hongzhi, died, and he, Zhu Houzhao, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor and became the master of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Queen Mother Zhang was a woman who was incompetent. The relationship between mother and son was almost broken because of the Zhang brothers, so naturally it was impossible to restrain him.

In addition, Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, eunuchs and eunuchs who were eager to be in power, tried every means to please and flatter him in order to win the respect and trust of His Majesty the Emperor. They presented him with some new things that were not common in the palace, so as to make the emperor happy. , thereby gaining power.

Liu Jin is one of the experts who knows his way very well. After all, he was the companion who accompanied Zhu Houzhao as he grew up, so he knew Zhu Houzhao's bad nature very well. As long as he encountered something new, the Ming emperor could not let go of his naughty childish nature. You want to have a good time, which is the real reason why Feng'er, the prostitute, can make him fascinated!

When Tang Hao was in Beijing, or during the Ming Dynasty, he could also act as an elder brother, restraining the righteous emperor in the pursuit of revitalizing the Ming Dynasty, encouraging him to study and cultivate virtue, grow up as soon as possible, and become a qualified emperor!

But after Tang Hao went to sea, Zhu Houzhao lost his restraint again. In addition, Liu Jin formed an alliance with Li Dongyang and deliberately set up this series of strategies to use Zhu Houzhao's childish nature to steal the power of the government. This led to the current corrupt situation!

Why did Tang Hao return to Beijing in a hurry?

Because of Cui Tan’s words!

To be precise, because of that North Korean Yanshanjun!

This Yanshan Jun Li is so similar to Zhu Houzhao. He has always maintained his identity as "Yuanzi" (Crown Prince) and received Confucian education. On the surface, he was a "Japanese Royal Book Banquet, and it has not been neglected". He was a virtuous prince, but when he came to the throne After that, when no one restrains him, he will immediately reveal his true nature, engage in lewd play, or gather people in the back garden from time to time, singing and dancing wildly, enjoying himself every day... It is simply the Korean version of Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty!

It was precisely because of Cui Tan's words that Tang Hao realized that he had overlooked one thing, and that was Zhu Houzhao's naughty nature.

However, for the sake of the overall situation, he had previously prompted Zhu Houzhao to protect Liu Jin, a damn eunuch, so that Liu Jin actually backfired and joined forces with Li Dongyang to overthrow the entire Ming Dynasty and successfully steal the power of the government!

And Zhu Houzhao's true nature was exposed at this moment, and he was a model of a coward.

After all, the emperor is always the emperor, the supreme Ninth Five-Year Plan, the true master of this dynasty in this era!

Therefore, the emperor can really do whatever he wants, just like this Zhu Houzhao.

If the emperor cannot shoulder his responsibilities as a monarch, all the people in the world will suffer!

What's ridiculous is that he didn't feel that he was at fault yet, and he plausibly explained to Tang Hao and argued with Tang Hao!

The saddest joke in the world is this.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Tang Hao urged impatiently.

"I'll consider myself unlucky to meet a guy like you in my life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao closed his eyes, too lazy to say any more nonsense.

Zhu Houzhao stared at the person in front of him fiercely. He raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand several times, but put it down several times. Just when he was hesitant, the arrival of a person prompted him to make up his mind.

The visitor was none other than the powerful Liu Jin and Liu Daban.

Liu Jin hurried in, but was far away from Tang Hao, and then knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhongshan killed the Jin Yiwei in the street without permission, and then forced his way into the forbidden area of ​​the palace. This matter has caused an uproar!"

"Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet, led his ministers to kneel down outside the Qianqing Palace and begged Your Majesty to hand over these murderers to the Three Law Divisions for punishment and correct the law!"

That's right, Liu Jin is here to make up for the damage.

In fact, he had already arrived outside the palace gate and had been secretly observing the situation.

When he keenly realized that His Majesty the Emperor still couldn't bear to treat Tang Hao and wanted to save his life, he immediately launched a backup strategy, which was to urge Li Dongyang to take action and use the power of civil servants and gentry to punish Tang Hao. Discuss the punishment and make the punishment clear!

In fact, killing Jin Yiwei without authorization is one of the capital crimes!

Jin Yiwei What is that?

Those are the Emperor's own troops, His Majesty's people!

Since the establishment of the Jin Yiwei, there has never been a courtier of the Ming Dynasty who dared to resist the arrest of the Jin Yiwei, or even directly killed the Jin Yiwei's madman in the street!

You are clearly slapping His Majesty the Emperor in the face!

What's more, there are those who break into the forbidden areas of the palace without permission and commit murder and hurt others. This is an even more unforgivable death penalty!

Why is the palace called a forbidden area?

Because this is the home of His Majesty the Emperor, the place where His Majesty the Emperor and his concubines live in the royal family!

Breaking into the palace without permission and committing murder and hurting others is no different from plotting rebellion. Is there any reason for pardon?

Today's killing spree against Tang Hao was planned by Li Dongyang. From the moment Tang Hao entered Dengzhou Water City, the capital had laid out this killing spree against him, including the reason why Liu Jian learned the secret of the palace. Liu Jin and Li Dongyang deliberately let him know!

Borrowing Liu Jian's words, Tang Hao learned that His Majesty the Emperor was having an affair with a prostitute. What would the ferocious Marquis of Zhongshan do?

As long as he dares to break into the palace, no matter what he does later, he will definitely die!

Not to mention, the Marquis of Zhongshan angrily cursed the Emperor in front of him, and even killed someone in front of the Emperor!

This time, no matter what, Tang Hao will definitely die!

Tang Hao suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Jin coldly. The latter felt like he was struck by lightning. The fear deep in his heart made him dare not look directly into Tang Hao's eyes.

"Liu Jin, I really deserved it when I spared your life."

"I didn't expect you to collude with Li Dongyang. I am indeed looking down on you!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jin trembled, and Zhu Houzhao also flashed his eyes and looked at Liu Jin subconsciously.

Is Zhu Houzhao stupid?

It's not stupid.

Just like Tang Hao said, he just likes new things, that's why he keeps having an affair with a prostitute and can't put it down.

But in the final analysis, Zhu Houzhao's IQ still exists.

He recalled everything that happened today, and finally fixed his gaze firmly on Liu Jin.

"Liu Daban, that day I asked you to find out whose hand the royal suicide note was written. Did you find out clearly?"

The Royal Dao Suicide Note case was not too long ago, only a few days ago, so Liu Jin had not had time to take action against Chen Kuan, Xiao Jing and others in the Li Jian, so naturally he would not find out the results.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that there is no trace of this incident. In addition, there were many people that day, so this servant has not been able to..."

"But how did I hear that you exposed the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty to the scorching sun for two hours, and that three senior ministers died from the exposure?"

Zhu Houzhao asked sharply, directly interrupting Liu Jin's ridiculous explanation.

When Liu Jin heard this, his face was full of panic, but his heart was extremely calm.

Since he dared to let Tang Hao come in to face the saint, he naturally prepared all countermeasures.

"I wanted to take the opportunity to beat these courtiers, so I took matters into my own hands. Please forgive me!"

Looking at Liu Jin who admitted honestly, Zhu Houzhao had nowhere to vent his anger.

Even if Liu Jin really colluded secretly with Li Dongyang, she would at least not dare to deceive him. On the contrary, Yeren, a lunatic, killed Feng'er and even scolded himself!

Zhu Houzhao looked at Tang Hao coldly, with anger written all over his face.

Tang Hao laughed at himself when he saw this, and simply closed his eyes and waited for death.

However, when Zhu Houzhao was about to give the order, an unexpected person suddenly came to the rescue.

The moment Liu Jin saw the person coming, his face instantly became extremely ugly!

With the support of Queen Xia, Queen Mother Zhang walked in with a livid face.

"Emperor, haven't you made enough trouble?"

As soon as she entered the door, Queen Mother Zhang directly held her to account.

"Look at what you look like now. How can you still be like an emperor?"

"The Marquis of Zhongshan followed Ai Jiayi's decree, so he forced his way into the palace. If it hadn't been like this, I'm afraid you, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would still be hiding in this palace and doing those debauched things!"

Zhu Houzhao was furious when he heard this. He held his neck and shouted: "Queen Mother! Even you want..."

"Emperor!" Empress Dowager Zhang had a rare tough attitude, "Taizu's iron law is that harem affairs are under the jurisdiction of the queen. Even if the Ai family can't control you, you still have to consider the queen's feelings, right? Do you know that this year For a long time, the queen has been crying every day and has been subjected to rumors. Is your heart really that hard? "

When this matter was mentioned, Queen Xia started to cry again.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao recalled the tender scenes in the past, and the softness in his heart couldn't help but be touched.

He opened his mouth to explain something, but in the end he was still speechless.

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed when she saw this, and stepped forward to take off the Emperor's Sword from Zhu Houzhao's hand.

“It’s been ridiculous for so long, it’s time to have enough!”

"The Ai family can't control you, but the Ai family doesn't want to see the great country your father left behind be ruined by you like this!"

"Do you know how many courtiers were discouraged and how many officials were despondent after the imperial suicide note case?"

"Three old ministers were humiliated and exposed to death because of an unfounded crime. They are all ministers of your father! Why do you punish them so cruelly?!"

Zhu Houzhao was silent, looking at the body of the prostitute Feng'er in a daze.

Empress Dowager Zhang no longer tried to persuade her, but just took out a book from her arms and slowly placed it on the imperial desk. It was the "Emperor's Pictures and Pictures" that Tang Hao left for Zhu Houzhao before he left the capital.

"Taizu's iron rule is that the harem must not interfere with politics."

"What Aijia should say has already been said."

"Emperor, you want to do whatever you want, the Ai family can't control you, I just hope you remember the teachings of your father before his death!"

After saying these words, Queen Mother Zhang left with the support of Queen Xia.

Just when passing by Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, Queen Mother Zhang stopped, whispered something in a low voice, and then left.

"You and I owe nothing to each other."

Tang Hao smiled inexplicably when he heard this.

It seemed that the finely carved ivory mahjong was really not in vain.

Queen Mother Zhang and Queen Xia left, but the trouble was not solved yet.

Even if he obeyed the Queen Mother's decree, Tang Hao killed someone in front of the emperor and insulted the emperor in public. He would definitely not be able to escape the following crimes.

In the final analysis, whether Tang Hao lives or dies, it all depends on Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the rapist Feng'er who was still staring at death, then looked at the "Emperor's Illustrated Book" on the desk, and finally closed his eyes in pain.

"It is hereby announced that Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, has entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit under the orders of the Queen Mother. The following is guilty of disrespectful words and will be thrown into imperial prison!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jin froze on the spot.

He never expected that Empress Dowager Zhang would come to the rescue and save Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, who should have been doomed!

damn it!

Why it came out like this?

Didn't Tang Hao cripple your two younger brothers?

As a sister, why do you want to save this Tang Hao?

What a bastard, how unreasonable!

Just when Liu Jin was upset, he suddenly heard a voice that made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"If any news of what happened today reaches the outer court, I will cut you, Liu Jin, into pieces with a thousand knives. Do you hear me clearly?"

Liu Jin trembled when he heard this. Before he could speak, he was kicked to the ground by Zhu Houzhao.

"Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts!"

"This time, for Feng'er's sake, I will spare your life. If you dare to do it again, I will show no mercy!"

Zhu Houzhao growled viciously.

The Ming Emperor who woke up was even more frightening than before!

Liu Jin knelt down crazily and begged for mercy until his forehead was covered with blood.

Zhu Houzhao sighed and watched Tang Hao being escorted away by the soldiers.

"Send Feng'er back home for a good burial!"

"Give his family a thousand pieces of gold to ensure they have enough food and clothing!"

When Liu Jin heard this, he felt like he was being pardoned. He hurriedly ordered someone to carry Feng'er's body on his back, and then left in a hurry.

After he left, Zhu Houzhao sat on the chair with a dejected expression. He reached out and wanted to pick up the "Di Jian Tu Shuo", but for some reason he retracted his hand.

"Come here, tell Zhang Yong and Chen Kuan!"

Zhang Yong was demoted from the Qianqing Palace precisely because of his advice.

And it was precisely because Queen Xia sent someone to ask why His Majesty had not been to Kunning Palace for a long time that Zhang Yong had to bite the bullet and remonstrate with Zhu Houzhao. As a result, he angered Zhu Houzhao who was in high spirits and directly took away his title. After taking office, he was driven out of Qianqing Palace, out of sight and out of mind.

After all, Zhu Houzhao also realized at this moment that he had indeed been too indulgent and willful in the past year or so.

Soon Zhang Yong and Chen Kuan came hand in hand, but when Zhu Houzhao saw Zhang Yong, the anger that had just dissipated reunited.

"Zhang Yong, what's going on with you?"

It turned out that Zhang Yong was covered in injuries and his face was bruised and swollen. It was obvious that he had been beaten and scolded for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I'm thinking of you. I bumped into you accidentally."

Zhang Yong opened his mouth with tears streaming down his face. He wanted to tell all the grievances he had felt during this period, but he felt a stern look, which made him give up the idea immediately.

Zhu Houzhao was startled when he heard this, and then cursed angrily: "Do you think I am a fool? Who bullied you?"

"I just demoted you out of the Qianqing Palace and went to Shang Baojian to be the eunuch of the palm seal. Who dares to humiliate you like this?"

Zhang Yong hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not speak, but he touched his head to the ground and kept crying.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao turned his attention directly to Chen Kuan.

"Da Xun, what on earth is going on?"

"Your Majesty, it's all over." Chen Kuan replied calmly, "There are many people in this palace who follow the trend and act according to the wind. Zhang Yong was driven out of the Qianqing Palace. Everyone knew that he had lost power, so Everyone wants to step on it, there’s nothing to say.”

"Bastard!" Zhu Houzhao still didn't understand. It must have been the bastard Liu Jin who did this!

"Let Zhang Yong enter the ceremonial department immediately. I want to see what Liu Jin can do!"

Chen Kuan was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he smiled.

What does Liu Jin want to do most?

Enter the ceremonial supervisor!
