The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Wedding night.

A night of dancing with fish and dragons.

The maid held two red candles and placed them on the candlestick, and a faint halo spread out.

Two other maids brought in a bathtub, put in hot water, and waited for the two masters to bathe.

Seeing Zhang Jingshu lying limp on the bed, the maid Zhuier immediately muttered in shame and annoyance: "This is too cruel..."

This sentence directly choked the fierce Zhongshan Marquis.

Zhang Jingshu was sore and weak all over, and was served by Zhuier to prepare for a bath. Hearing this, he stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek and chuckled: "Little Zhuier, you can't escape this day..."

Zhuier was her personal maid, and because of the unfair treatment since childhood, she and Zhang Jingshu were like sisters.

Now that Zhang Jingshu married into the Zhongshan Marquis's mansion, Zhuier naturally married with her and became Zhongshan Marquis's maid.

Zhang Jingshu did not dislike this result, and she even felt a little relieved.

Because compared to being a servant for a lifetime and finally marrying a servant, she hoped that Zhuier could be taken into Tang Hao's room. At that time, she would be a concubine, at least changing the fate of the servant.

In fact, Zhang Jingshu is a person with a soft exterior and a strong interior. She seems to be delicate and gentle, but she is very strong in her bones.

Otherwise, she would not have always refused to bow to Zhu Zhangshi and silently endured the humiliation and beatings of this so-called sister!

But it is precisely with this kind of character that once conquered by a man, she will be devoted and become soft.

What's more, what is there to be dissatisfied with when meeting a man like Tang Hao?

Zhuier blushed with shame and lowered her head and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Tang Hao immediately sent the three maids away.

In fact, he was still not used to the lifestyle of these ancient people. It was such a private matter, but there was a third person present, because when the ancients had sex, there had to be a maid to serve on the side, such as wiping sweat or something.

There were even eunuchs who helped the emperor push his butt in the palace. Tang Hao felt his scalp tingling when he thought about it.

Tang Hao's hands climbed up to the soft spot dishonestly. Zhang Jingshu was soft all over. She leaned on Tang Hao's chest with a "moan". Her pretty face was like a red sunset. She was so beautiful that she gasped and begged: "... Husband, please spare me tonight?"

"Or... let Zhuier serve you?"

Zhuier, who was standing outside the house, heard this suddenly and felt even more ashamed. She stamped her feet in shame and anger, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out.

However, I don't know why, I have some expectations. What's going on?

Tang Hao was shocked when he heard this.

It's worthy of being an evil feudal society. No wonder so many people miss it.

Zhang Jingshu's idea is very simple. After being educated by the queen and the old nanny in the palace, she deeply understood a truth. If she wants to sit firmly in the position of Zhongshan Marquis's wife, she must ensure that the eldest son of the Marquis is hers.

But no one can guarantee such a thing, so the only feasible way is to feed your man so that he has no spare energy to vent on other women.

However, Zhang Jingshu overestimated her ability, or underestimated the ability of Zhongshan Hou.

It was just the wedding night, and she was defeated, which made the first-rank imperial lady feel a sense of crisis and wanted to help Zhuier get the position immediately.

After all, they are sisters who grew up together since childhood, and they are not outsiders after all.

He pinched her unhappily, causing the beauty to complain constantly, and he stopped.

"Your husband is not an animal, how can I do such an outrageous thing!"

"But you, Madam, I heard some rumors, you don't seem to be happy in the Duke of England's mansion?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingshu trembled.

Her beautiful eyes turned and looked at her husband in surprise.

After thinking for a moment, she did not hide it, but told her miserable first half of her life in detail.

Because, from this moment on, she, Zhang Jingshu, is the wife of the Marquis of Zhongshan. She will no longer have any relationship with the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. Zhang Jingshu doesn't even want to maintain the so-called etiquette and decency.

She wants to see if the man in front of her will be disappointed after losing the support of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, and will he regret marrying her... a money-loser, a cheap bone?

Zhang Jingshu spoke calmly and expressionlessly as she recounted her tragic experience, as if she was narrating something insignificant and had nothing to do with her.

Tang Hao looked at the beauty in front of him quietly, subconsciously reaching out to stroke her hair, his eyes full of heartache.

"Shu'er, does your bastard father have other brothers?"

"Of course there are, but he is the eldest son, and he married the sister of the Duke of Dingguo, so this title belongs to him!"

Zhang Jingshu explained with a little curiosity, and was very puzzled by Tang Hao's question.

Could it be that he wants to...

"That's not necessarily true!" Tang Hao chuckled, "What if his leg is broken, or if the emperor decrees to abolish him?"

"Duke Dingguo's nephew, so what? Can he be older than His Majesty?"

At this moment, Zhang Jingshu finally felt the tyranny and ferocity from the Marquis of Zhongshan!

But instead of feeling scared, the beauty felt a sense of security she had never experienced before!

"My husband, you don't have to be like this."

"In fact, everything is over."

"I don't hate them, I even have to thank them."

"If it weren't for my good sister, I wouldn't have married you, my husband!"

Zhang Jingshu was really moved, and her heart was filled with sweetness that she had never experienced before.

In this society where men are superior to women and there is a strict class system, it is simply the greatest luck in the world for her to meet a husband who truly treats her well.

Why can't Zhang Jingshu stay in her own home and want to marry into the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion?

It’s because girls are losers, and concubines are even more losers!

Her father never treated her as a relative and even wanted to sell her like a commodity in exchange for a sum of money!

Using oneself to save others, Zhang Jingshu was really shocked and moved by Tang Hao's actions.

How lucky am I to meet such a heterogeneous person who respects women?

When she thought of this, Zhang Jingshu subconsciously reached out and hugged Tang Hao's neck, and then kissed her affectionately.

Tang Hao felt the beauty's tenderness like water waves, and felt a wave of heat rising from his Dantian, which evaporated all the water on his body, and then greedily sucked the liquid in the beauty's red lips.

The next moment, the beauty let out an exclamation.

"Husband, no!"

However, it was of no use.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of Mi Mi sounded in the house again.

Zhui'er at the door was relieved, but when he heard the movement coming from inside the house again, it was far more intense and fierce than the previous one. His face instantly turned red all over his neck, and his legs were pressed together unconsciously...

The next morning.

Marquis Zhongshan rarely got up early.

It wasn't until the sound of falling outside the door that a visitor came to visit that Tang Hao reluctantly sat up next to the beautiful lady.

Then he turned around and saw that the beautiful woman was still sleeping soundly, obviously because she had been tormented too much last night.

Seeing this scene, Tang Hao moved lightly, got out of bed, put on his clothes, and tucked the beauty in with the quilt, and then left with peace of mind.

After he left, Zhang Jingshu slowly opened her eyes.

Feeling her husband's meticulous warmth, her eyes suddenly became moist.

Those were... tears of happiness.

When I came to the lobby, I saw that it was already full of people.

The British Duke Zhang Mao, the Duke of Ding Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Cheng Zhu Fu, the Duke of Wei Xu Ru... all the distinguished nobles of the Ming Dynasty are here at the moment.

Even after Tang Hao took a look at it, he couldn't help but admire it.

Did your Excellency handle this matter very efficiently?

Tang Hao gave Tang Er a reassuring look, and the latter then stepped back with peace of mind.

After all, the people in this lobby are all princes and nobles, and Tang Ru is not qualified to sit here and talk.

In the entire Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, the only person who is qualified to sit inside, and who is also sitting on the main seat, is only one, His Majesty the Emperor's confidant, Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty!

"Tang Boy!"

"How's it going? The bones in your body haven't been hollowed out, right?"

Zhang Mao spoke first, but he made a dirty joke.

The princes present all climbed out of the crowd of women, so there was a burst of laughter.

Tang Hao also nodded with a smile and patted his chest to show his strength.

"Don't worry, old man, I'm always in great shape!"

"I'm warning you. Although Shu'er is a concubine, I have always been very protective of her. If I know that you have done anything to feel sorry for her, don't blame me for falling out with you!"

Zhang Mao's words were not just a statement on the platform, but also a statement of attitude to Tang Hao.

He is Zhang Jingshu's grandfather, so naturally he is also Tang Hao's grandfather.

Then, Tang Hao is naturally one of the nobles!

This is the meaning of this marriage!

In fact, through marriage, the princes, princes and nobles have long been bound together into a whole with interests.

For example, the granddaughter of Zhang Mao married Zhu Qi, the son of Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo. Another example is that the sister of Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Ding, married Zhang Lun, the eldest son of Zhang Mao, or the sister of Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, married. Gave it to Pingjiang Bo Chen Xiong...

All in all, with the gradual decline of military commanders and nobles, these princes have long been combined into a whole through various methods in order to protect their vested interests and to get a share of the political power controlled by civil servants and gentry, and they can advance and retreat together!

What Tang Hao has to face now is the conditions proposed to him by the Daming Xungui Group.

In this case, Tang Hao is too lazy to make excuses with these guys anymore. Anyway, except for Zhang Mao, he is not familiar with the others, and this is even the first time they meet.

"Your Majesty means that as long as you pay for the ticket, you can board the ship."

"But after boarding the ship, you will naturally be responsible for all the goods you want to sell, and the royal family will take 50% of the profit!"

"What? Fifty percent?" Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo, exclaimed, expressing strong dissatisfaction!

It's not that he only cares about such a small amount of money and gives up the opportunity to do business with His Majesty the Emperor.

This commission ratio is really too exaggerated!

The 50% profit, plus the loss and labor costs of transporting the goods to Shandong, means that the profit that finally falls into their hands will not exceed 30%. This is no different from them helping His Majesty the Emperor do business and the Emperor is responsible for the cashier!

How can anyone be so bullying?

All the princes also discussed it, and most of them held objections.

After all, their money didn't come from strong winds, not to mention that every household had lost a lot of money in the early stage to buy this so-called boat ticket.

The Duke contributed 100,000 taels, and the Marquis contributed 50,000 taels. This is the marked price!

Do you really think these silver coins are not silver?

If we follow this commission ratio, let alone making money, they might not be able to earn back the "ship ticket money" even after ten years of doing this business!

Zhang Mao also frowned and tapped his cane subconsciously.

"Boy Tang, there are too many, we can't possibly agree!"

"After all, there are hundreds of people waiting to support their families in every duke's house. Is it really possible for us all to go drink the northwest wind?"

As soon as the old Duke opened his mouth, everyone echoed his words.

Tang Hao put down the tea cup in his hand and sneered: "You don't have to do it if you think it's too much!"

"No one begged you to join this business, and no one put a knife to your neck to force you to do this business!"

"Don't forget, it was you who begged me, so I went to discuss with His Majesty!"

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

The true nature of this ferocious Zhongshan Marquis was instantly revealed!

It happened that the people present were either Dukes or Marquises, and their title was equivalent to Tang Hao's status. In addition, they were basically the second generation of powerful people. When had they ever experienced this kind of arrogance, they all looked at Tang Hao angrily.

Only Zhang Mao looked at Tang Hao with a gloomy expression, and couldn't help but remind him: "Boy Tang, don't forget, you are also a member of the noble family!"

This sentence is equivalent to saying it clearly.

It's a pity that Tang Hao doesn't like this.

Tang Hao shrugged indifferently, and then sneered: "It's true!"

"Where were you people when I was suffering? Zhu Hui even made trouble for me and sent a servant to humiliate me and break off the engagement. Is this what you call advancing and retreating together?"

When they heard this, everyone was stunned and their expressions were not very good.

To put it simply, the Marquis of Zhongshan was angry at the Xungui Group because of the actions of Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, and he has not yet vented his anger.

To put it harshly, the Marquis of Zhongshan has completely decided to side with His Majesty the Emperor and is willing to be the little emperor's dog, suppressing the princes and nobles on behalf of the little emperor and plundering the wealth of the princes and nobles!

In the final analysis, it was all because of that damn idiot Zhu Hui!

Zhang Mao keenly discovered that the damn savage in front of him, even if he let his precious granddaughter sleep in vain, still would not return to him, and even showed a faint hostility towards Duke Xungui, and he panicked instantly.

After thinking about it, Zhang Mao could only say weakly: "Boss Tang, what Zhu Hui did was just because of his own stupidity."

"And he also paid the price for his stupidity. He is still in prison and has not been released. Isn't this enough?"

"I believe that going to sea is of great importance. If we only rely on His Majesty's power, it will never be completed in a short time. But with the power of our noble prince, it will naturally be different."

"So whether it is for the overall situation or for personal reasons, you should not refuse to join the Xungui Group because of Zhu Hui's matter!"

These words are quite pertinent.

After all, he was Zhang Jingshu's grandfather, and Tang Hao didn't want to make things too serious.

"It can be reduced to 30%, but there are two conditions."

"First, Bao Guogong's lineage is not allowed to participate in overseas trade."

"Well, they are not qualified to join. His Majesty has already confiscated most of their property. Even if all the remaining properties are sold off, they may not be able to collect one hundred thousand taels of silver, right?"

As soon as these words came out, all the princes' expressions changed.

what is this?

Justifiable revenge?

But no one could say a word against it!

Because Tang Hao told the truth, Duke Baoguo's palace was raided by Jin Yiwei, so where could Zhu Hui find 100,000 taels of silver to buy a boat ticket?

Is it possible for everyone to share the burden for him?

Stop being ridiculous, who would offend the Marquis of Zhongshan for no reason at this time?

The princes exchanged their opinions, and finally Zhang Mao agreed.

"Yes, Lord Baoguo will not be involved!"

"Second condition!" Tang Hao looked at Zhang Mao expressionlessly, "Break one of your son Zhang Lun's legs!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Zhang Mao's face was full of astonishment at first, and then he became furious. He stood up and shouted angrily: "Tang Hao! Don't bully others too much! What does this have to do with my son?"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter!" Tang Hao chuckled, "But your son makes me very unhappy, so he must pay the corresponding price!"

"Either you break one of your son's legs, or I break one of his legs with my own hands, and then let His Majesty issue an order to deprive your son of the throne. You choose one!"

"This is impossible!" Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo, was also anxious. Zhang Lun was his brother-in-law and the next British Duke. His sister's eldest son was running for this title. How could he change just because of Tang Hao's words? ?

"Marquis Zhongshan! Don't think that just because you are favored by His Majesty, you can do whatever you want!"

Xu Guangzuo slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Believe it or not, even if you really form a fleet, we still have many ways to prevent your fleet from going to sea..."

"Dong Guo!" Tang Hao looked at him coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao stood up suddenly, grabbed Xu Guangzuo's neck, and slammed him on the desk!

There was a loud bang, and the desk instantly fell apart!

This sudden and shocking change made all the princes and nobles look pale as paper!

Even Zhang Mao didn't expect that this "Tang Boy" who was usually very submissive to him would actually take such bloody and violent action!

This is absolutely crazy!

Xu Guangzuo spurted a mouthful of blood. Seeing Tang Hao constantly approaching him, he struggled back crazily.

"Spare your life!"

"Marquis Zhongshan, spare your life!"

"I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

However, Tang Hao just bent down and stretched out his hand to him, and then pulled him up.

"Don't be so afraid. This is just a lesson to you. You shouldn't threaten me!"

"The thing I hate most in my life is when someone threatens me, remember?"

"Remember! Remember!" Xu Guangzuo nodded hurriedly, without any majesty as a prince.

In fact, all the princes and nobles present are the children of the powerful, and they are all just losers who have never gone to battle to kill the enemy!

Taking care of them is too easy.

Tang Hao looked at Zhang Mao coldly and said in a deep voice: "I respect you, old man, but this does not mean that I can tolerate Zhang Lun, that loser who dares to attack Shu'er!"

"If you don't have the heart to do it, then I will do it myself, and His Majesty will also issue an order. By then, the British government will lose all face!"

"Grandpa, do you understand?"

All the princes looked at the scene in front of them and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

They finally understood something.

Marquis Zhongshan is not going crazy for no reason today, but he is seizing power!

From today on, the number one person in the Ming Dynasty will change from Zhang Mao to Tang Hao!
