The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Chenhao was dumbfounded.

He regretted it even more at this moment.

He never thought that the Marquis of Zhongshan was so arrogant!

He dared to beat people at the gate of the palace just because he blocked his way.

And according to the soldiers, this beast was a habitual offender. He had abolished the brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling at the gate of the palace before.

In other words, this beating was probably in vain.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. Zhu Chenhao did not forget the purpose of his visit to Beijing this time.

One is to win over court officials through bribery so that he can start a rebellion in the future.

The second is to try every means to make friends with the Marquis of Zhongshan Tang Hao, because this person is in charge of the Beijing army!

As a result, now he was beaten up before he had time to show his goodwill. Where can Prince Ning go to seek justice?

But for his own grand ambitions, Zhu Chenhao could only swallow his anger!

He endured the pain all over his body and went to see the emperor.

This is the custom for the princes to enter the capital. After arriving in the capital, every prince must immediately enter the palace to meet the emperor, in order to show his obedience to His Majesty.

After Zhu Chenhao walked into the hall with difficulty, he saw the strange expression of the young emperor who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Prince Ning?"

"What's going on?"

"Why are you covered in blood and so seriously injured?"

Zhu Houzhao asked in a confused manner, and his heart was almost laughing.

This damn savage knew the limit when he attacked. He just beat Zhu Chenhao violently, but did not hurt his limbs or anything. Well, this is really holding back.

Zhu Chenhao trembled when he heard this, but considering his future ambitions, he could only suppress his anger and frustration, and pretended to be indifferent and said: "Your Majesty, I was not careful just now, so... I fell down!"

"Fell down?" Zhu Houzhao almost laughed out of anger.

What does Zhu Chenhao want to do?

Isn't it said that he has always been arrogant and domineering?

Now he was beaten up by Tang Hao for no reason, but he didn't complain to the emperor?

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Chenhao meaningfully, with cold light flashing in his eyes.

Could it be that this damned dog had set his sights on his own wild man?

Haha, he is so bold!

It is understandable. If the wild man is in charge of the Beijing army, he might succeed if he really turns to Zhu Chenhao!

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt murderous and wanted to kill the dog in front of him right now.

For a while, the hall fell into a strange silence.

Zhu Houzhao was forbearing. For the sake of the political situation, he had been forbearing and suppressing his murderous intent.

Zhu Chenhao was also forbearing. For the sake of his grand ambitions, he had been enduring the frustration of being beaten for no reason.

But he keenly noticed that the young emperor on the dragon throne seemed to look at him with a wrong look.

Zhu Chenhao's heart suddenly tightened, and he frantically thought about the reason in his mind, and then a figure finally emerged.

That was... the powerful eunuch Liu Jin!

Before Zhu Chenhao entered the capital, he had learned through the people in the capital that Liu Jin had offended the emperor again and was thrown into prison.

Could it be that this damn eunuch revealed that he bribed him to restore the three guards?

When he thought of this, Zhu Chenhao suddenly felt cold all over, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Zhu Chenhao had never taken Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor, seriously.

Because it is not difficult to see from the emperor's previous actions that he was just a young playboy who had not grown up.

But even if he was a young playboy, he was still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

What does it mean that the emperor knew you were going to rebel?

Zhu Chenhao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and then he knelt on the ground with a "thump".

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"I shouldn't have bribed Liu Jin to restore the three guards!"

"I am loyal to the court and have no second thoughts. However, restoring the guards of the palace is the long-cherished wish of our ancestors, so I will... Please have mercy on you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Chenhao cleverly found an excuse to excuse himself from bribing Liu Jin.

That is the "long-cherished wish of our ancestors"!

This incident happened to the second generation Ning Wang Zhu Dianpei.

Zhu Dianpei is the eldest son of Zhu Panyan, the posthumously named Ninghui Wang, and the eldest grandson of Zhu Quan, the Ningxian Wang. He inherited the title of Ning Wang in the 14th year of Zhengtong.

Because Zhu Quan lived too long and died in the 13th year of Zhengtong, he forced his Ning Wang's son Zhu Panyan to die, and Zhu Dianpei, the eldest grandson, became the second generation Ning Wang.

This person is suspicious and cold-hearted, so he treats his brothers and relatives very harshly, which leads to chaos within the Ning clan.

During the Jingtai period, Zhu Dianpei, under the advice of his professor You Jian, strangled and killed Zhang, the favorite concubine of Yiyang Prince Zhu Dian's brother, causing the brothers to turn against each other. Zhu Dian's brother then accused Zhu Dianpei of various illegal acts to the court, and even framed him for treason. After verification by the court, Zhu Dianpei did have the crimes of "collecting a lot of monthly food from the guards, forcibly taking their daughters, strangling and killing women who were not happy, sending Wang Zhong and others to do business without authorization, and insulting and beating prefecture and county officials", but he had never treasoned.

When Zhu Dianpei was taken to Beijing, he was pardoned when Yingzong was restored to the throne, but You Jian, who instigated the strangulation of Zhang, was exiled to Gansu. Zhu Dianpei vented his anger on Cui Gong, the left governor, who reported that he had forcibly taken the daughter of the guards for himself and other illegal acts. Yingzong ordered to reduce his guards and change them to Nanchang Zuowei, which was under the command of Jiangxi. Since then, the guards of Prince Ning were abolished.

Zhu Houzhao was naturally aware of this clan secret. To put it bluntly, it was just a scandal involving brothers fighting within Ning Fan. The imperial court seized the opportunity to abolish the last military power in their hands.

So it seems reasonable for Zhu Chenhao to use this matter as a shield at this moment.

If the savage Tang Hao hadn't reminded him, His Majesty the Emperor might have been deceived by this traitor.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao was not someone who ignored the overall situation, so he simply started acting with Zhu Chenhao.

"It's just a small thing."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand pretending not to mind.

"Prince Ning, get up quickly!"

"We are all descendants of Taizu, so there is no need to be so open-minded."

"Now that the palace guard has recovered, let's let it go!"

Hearing this, Zhu Chenhao was ecstatic and stood up with gratitude.

As expected, this Emperor Zhengde was a complete idiot!

Emperor Yongle spent a lot of effort to eliminate all the vassal kings, but now this idiot is thinking of bringing the clan vassal princes into the dynasty to regain power. Isn't this an idiot?

There is no emperor more stupid than Zhu Houzhao in the world!

After confirming this, Zhu Chenhao felt hot in his heart!

It’s time for the Ning Fan clan to rise up and take back the world that should belong to them!

Just as he was thinking this, he heard the emperor on the dragon throne say something unbelievable.

"Speaking of which, I'm in a very difficult position right now."

"The civil servants and gentry have controlled the government for more than fifty years, and even I have to be restrained and balanced by them!"

"Prince Ning, you have a reputation as a virtuous person and are very close to the sect. Do you have any strategies to teach me how to break this situation?"

Zhu Chenhao trembled when he heard this. It was really a mixture of joy and worry.

Fortunately, the emperor was so stupid that he planned to keep Zhu Chenhao in the court to restrain the civil servants and gentry. What was worrying was that if he really stayed in the capital court, the business in Nanchang would be a bit unstable.

Just as counselor Liu Yangzheng expected, Zhu Chenhao was facing a huge problem at this moment.

However, there are pros and cons to this matter, and Wang Lunye has already given advice.

Staying in the capital court will make it easier to win over courtiers and cultivate party members, which will be more conducive to future uprisings.

Therefore, Zhu Chenhao did not hesitate at all and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this Ming Dynasty is your Majesty's Ming Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty of these civil servants and gentry!"

"Anyone who dares to arrogate the divine weapon should be killed. There is nothing to say!"

"If Your Majesty is soft-hearted, I can... do it for you!"

"good!"

Zhu Houzhao was "overjoyed" and stood up and walked to Zhu Chenhao.

"What a "replacement"!"

"Prince Ning is really a role model for the clan, my blood clan clan member!"

"In this case, I will grant Prince Ning the title of Minister of Guanglu Temple, and he will stay in the court to give advice and whip up civil servants for me!"

Lord Guanglu Temple!

One of the little nine ministers in the court!

As the emperor's close institution, Guanglu Temple has special status and authority. It is the place where the emperor's confidants directly serve the emperor, and is responsible for safeguarding the interests of the clan and managing the emperor's royal affairs.

Guanglu Temple has three responsibilities: managing clan affairs, organizing and hosting banquet etiquette, and supervising and managing the emperor's royal affairs.

The clan members were close relatives of the emperor and enjoyed special status and treatment. Guanglu Temple is responsible for safeguarding the interests of the clan and managing the life and affairs of the clan. Specifically, Guanglu Temple is responsible for the management of the clan's living arrangements, daily life, clothing and meals, and ensures that the clan receives appropriate treatment and care. In addition, Guanglu Temple is also responsible for handling the clan's requests, coordinating the relationship between the clan and the emperor, and maintaining a stable relationship between the clan and the royal family.

This alone was enough to make Zhu Chenhao happy.

He can use this position to interact with other vassal kings openly and openly. Not to mention collusion, at least he can communicate with each other whether there is a secret alliance. This is the most important thing.

Furthermore, Guanglu Temple plans and organizes various banquet activities according to the nature and scale of the banquet to ensure the solemnity, standardization and smooth progress of the banquet ceremony. This includes formulating the banquet ritual procedures, banquet decorations and selection of dishes. Guanglu Temple Lu Temple is also responsible for arranging the seating and etiquette specifications of the banquet to maintain the grand and noble image of the banquet.

There is no doubt that this is a big fat difference, which is more conducive to Zhu Chenhao filling his own pockets and saving money for his grand hegemony.

Finally, Guanglu Temple was responsible for supervising the emperor's daily life, clothing, meals, etc., to ensure that the emperor's life was comfortable and his needs were met.

This is more important. Zhu Chenhao can use this to understand the daily life activities of the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao, which is equivalent to monitoring the emperor in disguise. The significance is self-evident.

So Zhu Chenhao was also ecstatic. Although he was just a young Jiuqing, what he valued more was the meaning behind it.

As long as he can break the vassal ban and enter the court to discuss politics, there may be no chance of regaining power in the future.

Even though he is just a mere minister of Guanglu Temple now, he might become the chief minister of the Ministry of War in the future!

Moreover, the position of Minister of Guanglu Temple is undoubtedly the most suitable for Zhu Chenhao at the moment, and it is more conducive for him to contribute to his great cause of rebellion!

For a while, the emperor and his ministers were very happy, and after chatting for a while, Zhu Chenhao resigned wisely.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the traitor with a cold look, and then summoned Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju and others.

"No matter what method you use!"

"I have to see every move of this traitor every day!"

"I want to know who he met, what he said, and what he did!"

"If you can't do it, then don't blame me for being ruthless and killing you all!"

As soon as these words came out, the three big men from the East Factory and the West Factory were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and made crazy promises.

They have never seen His Majesty the Emperor hate someone so much, and Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao actually did it. This is Zhu Chenhao's ability.

After the three people left the Qianqing Palace, they immediately gathered together to carefully examine Zhu Chenhao's detailed information, and then formulated a series of battle plans.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has issued a death order, they must use any means necessary to monitor Zhu Chenhao, otherwise they themselves will be the ones who suffer in the end!

Zhu Chenhao knew nothing about this. As soon as he returned to his temporary residence, he excitedly summoned his confidant Liu Yangzheng.

"It's just as you expected!"

"This time our great cause will be accomplished!"

Zhu Chenhao excitedly told everything about today's conversation, and Liu Yangzheng was also pleasantly surprised after hearing this.

The prince not only solved the hidden danger of bribing Liu Jin in the face of danger, but also won the good position of Guanglu Temple Minister in one fell swoop. This is simply the key among the keys to their grand hegemony, and even has decisive significance!

Zhu Chenhao could not refuse the three functions of Guanglu Temple, and they were the most suitable for him.

But the fly in the ointment was that even Liu Yangzheng did not expect that his own prince would have a conflict with the Marquis of Zhongshan on the day he entered the palace, and he would even be beaten up.

Now that the two sides are at odds, it’s not going to be easy to win over them!

Zhu Chenhao was also upset because of this matter.

For the sake of his own grand ambition and hegemony, he could indeed hold back and even try to please the Marquis of Zhongshan in disguise.

Just wait until you sit on the dragon throne in the future and then kill Tang Hao's whole family. Why fight for a moment of glory now!

But the problem is that even if he is willing to kneel down and lick him, others may not pay attention to him!

So Zhu Chenhao was very distressed and aggrieved at the moment.

He had obviously been beaten, but now he was still thinking about how to please that beast!

For the arrogant and domineering Prince Ning, this was simply more uncomfortable than killing him.

At this moment, Liu Yangzheng put forward a different view.

"My lord, don't you think this is a bit strange?"

"Then no matter how arrogant and domineering the Marquis of Zhongshan is, there is no way he would beat the current prince at the palace gate for no reason!"

"I have collected detailed information about this Empress Sun Yat-sen. It is not difficult to see from the information that although this person is indeed arrogant, domineering and cruel, his actions are not without purpose, but have deep meaning!"

Zhu Chenhao was startled when he heard this and signaled Liu Yangzheng to continue.

"For example, the Marquis of Zhongshan beat Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling at the palace gate, and even killed them. Not long after, these two former arrogant and domineering uncles were ransacked and driven back to their hometown in Xingji, Hejian. …”

After hearing this, Zhu Chenhao's face gradually turned pale.

"you mean……"

"Then Tang Hao deposed this brother, was he ordered by Zhu Houzhao?"

"Then today Tang Hao beat me so violently for no reason, was he also ordered by Zhu Houzhao?!"

When these words were spoken, Zhu Chenhao began to panic.

After all, if the emperor has his eye on a minister, or is dissatisfied with the minister, then he has many ways to deal with the minister.

For example, Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, because their sister was the queen, committed evil crimes and took human lives in their daily lives. They did countless bad things, but no one dared to take care of them. In the end, because they "offended" Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, they were not only reduced to useless people, but also punished. Rushed back to my hometown.

Zhu Chenhao asked himself that as Prince Ning, he might not necessarily be as powerful as these two uncles, so he would inevitably feel flustered at this moment.

"My lord, don't worry too much!"

Liu Yangzheng smiled and said: "Based on the conversation between the prince and your majesty, it is not difficult to see that your majesty is indeed dissatisfied with the prince, which is most likely the reason for bribing Liu Jin."

"But the prince was quick-witted in the face of danger and successfully solved the matter. Your Majesty is quite satisfied when you think about it, so after seeing the prince's loyalty, he will be awarded the position of Minister of Guanglu Temple!"

"Furthermore, let's return to the Marquis of Zhongshan. Since the Marquis of Zhongshan beat the prince according to His Majesty's order, it means that the Marquis of Zhongshan has no objection to the prince and is just following orders."

"On the contrary, this matter can become an excuse and an opportunity for us to interact with Tang Hou. No one can make mistakes!"

Following Liu Yangzheng's train of thought, Zhu Chenhao's eyes also lit up.

Tang Hao was just following orders, which meant that it was not impossible to have a good relationship with him!

"In this way, you can go and apologize tomorrow with a generous gift!"

"When the imperial decree is issued, I will be promoted to Minister of Guanglu Temple and will hold a banquet in the mansion. Be sure to invite Marquis Tang to the banquet!"

Liu Yangzheng smiled and nodded.

This Prince Ning is really a character.

It is very important to know how to judge the situation and tolerate it for the time being.

The better Zhu Chenhao performs, the more at ease these party members and confidants will feel.

After all, what we want to do is to rebel and lose our heads, all for the great wealth of the Conglong minister. Who is willing to follow a piece of trash?

After Liu Yangzheng left, Zhu Chenhao's face darkened.

He reached out and touched the redness and swelling on his face, and a shocking murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"The Marquis of Zhongshan, Tang Hao!"

"For the sake of my grand ambition, I will let you be arrogant for a while!"

"When I take back this world, the land that should belong to my Ning clan, I will make you wish you were dead!"

As soon as he finished his heroic words, Zhu Chenhao immediately pulled his mouth and cried out in pain.

"Damn beast!"

"Did you do that?"

At the same time, in the Marquis of Zhongshan's mansion.

Tang Hao, who was studying new postures, suddenly sneezed.

"Which bastard cursed me behind my back?"

"Well...it must be that bastard Zhu Chenhao!"

"Zhu Chenhao?" Zhang Jingshu poked her head out from under her body and asked curiously: "That Prince Ning who took human life lightly?"

"Hehe, he's just a poor fellow with high aspirations but a thin life!"
