The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Zhongshan Marquis Mansion.

With the report of the Four Guards, His Majesty finally returned to normal.

This scene made Yang Tinghe, Wang Ao, Yang Yiqing and others frown.

It seemed that they had overlooked something, that is, these Four Guards!

The overall situation was under control, Zhu Houzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on his seat.

Seeing that these court officials and gentry were still on high alert and dared not relax at all, His Majesty kindly explained: "Okay, don't be nervous, the real culprit has been found, and the capital is under control!"

Hearing this, the ministers were all surprised.

Yang Tinghe seemed to have discovered something, and subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty, but the Four Guards..."

"Well, I have already mobilized them to investigate in secret, so you can rest assured!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand lazily, looking very relaxed.

Seeing his posture, the ministers were even more confused.

He looked like he was dying before, how come he is fine now?

Could it be that...

"Marquis Tang is fine!"

"He just woke up."

"I just cooperated with Marquis Tang to put on a good show."

A stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Everyone stared at the emperor in astonishment, and they were so excited that they almost cursed out loud.

So all this was just a show?

The purpose was to lure out the mastermind?

Yang Tinghe's expression was complicated, and he almost cursed.

If it was someone else who did this, he would have wanted to curse the other person to death.

But the person in front of him was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how angry he was, he could only bear it.

No wonder Zhu Houzhao refused to leave and insisted on staying in the Zhongshan Marquis's mansion to ensure that the news that Marquis Tang was alive would not spread!

All this was a good show put on by the emperor and the Zhongshan Marquis, the purpose was to delay the ministers, and then track down the mastermind!

The officials looked at each other in bewilderment. After being angry, they still breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

It is indeed a good thing that the Marquis of Zhongshan is still alive!

At least there will be no trouble for those Beijing army generals, and there will be no riot in the capital!

After this incident, all the court officials and gentry clearly saw the weight of the Marquis of Zhongshan Tang Hao!

If there is no Marquis of Zhongshan, those mutinous Beijing army soldiers are enough to make the entire Ming Dynasty doomed!

After a while, all the prisoners were brought over.

The former chief of the beheading camp, Yuncheng Bo Lei Xiong.

The former right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Li Shishi.

The former Jiangxi councilor, Wang Lun.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Yang Tinghe roughly understood what was going on.

After all, Li Shishi and Wang Lun were already the party members of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, and had been under the surveillance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In other words, this assassination was planned by Nanchang, Jiangxi, and there was only one person behind the scenes - the famous scholar Li Dongyang!

Thinking of this name, everything became reasonable.

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but sigh, and didn't want to say anything more.

Zhu Houzhao asked the three people with great interest what the truth was.

In order to save their families, Li Shishi and Wang Lun could only put all the blame on Li Dongyang, which unexpectedly caused an uproar.

After all, no one thought that the mastermind behind the shocking change tonight would be that Li Dongyang!

The truth of the case was basically consistent with the investigation of the four guards, and Zhu Houzhao was not interested in interrogating anything, and directly handed the three people over to the Jinyiwei for custody.

But for Lei Xiong, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "After all, you are a soldier brought by Tang Hou, go in, Tang Hou is waiting for you!"

Lei Xiong trembled when he heard the words, and with fear in his heart, he finally stepped into the ward.

At this moment, the doctor had left the ward, and only Tang Hao was leaning on the soft couch.

It must be admitted that the poison of the poisonous arrow tree is extremely toxic. Tang Hao felt that he would die, but he survived.

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, the powerful pill given by the old monk has magical effects and saved Tang Hao's life.

After seeing the person coming, Tang Hao showed a bitter smile on his pale face.

"It's really you!"

"It can only be you!"

Lei Xiong was forcibly pressed to the ground by the armored soldier, but he raised his head stubbornly.

"Yes, it's me, I wish I could kill you!"

Ignoring what Lei Xiong said, Tang Hao spoke to himself.

"When the assassination was met with crossbows, I knew that something must have gone wrong in the Beijing Army."

"This kind of weapon was used to assassinate me. If you want to mobilize it privately, only the main and deputy generals in the Beijing Army, that is, you who have been following me."

"In fact, the person I suspected at the beginning was not you, but Xu Tianci. After all, if I die, the most likely person to take over the Beijing Army is him."

"Unfortunately, Tianci does not have such ambitions, but you, Lei Xiong!"

Tang Hao sighed heavily and looked at the one-eyed general again.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Because of the bloody selection of strikers that year?"

"You should know that if I didn't do this, all of you would die at that time, and I saved your life!"

When Tang Hao was ordered to supervise the regiment camp to form a new army, he inevitably had conflicts with the twelve marquises in charge of the regiment camp. In the end, Tang Hao, taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Wei, the head of the twelve marquises, deliberately provoked trouble, joined forces with the four guards of the emperor's majesty to purge the twelve marquises in one fell swoop.

Zhang Wei also tried to lead his confidants to kill Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, which was tantamount to treason.

Lei Xiong was Zhang Wei's confidant at the time, and the soldiers of the regiment camp like him did take action at that time. This behavior was disrespectful to the emperor and was equivalent to treason!

Tang Hao held a cruel and bloody selection of the vanguard, one to establish his prestige in the Beijing army, and the other to give an explanation to Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Since half of them died and half lived, those who should die are already dead, and those who survived might as well give them a chance to make meritorious contributions while guilty. This is the origin of the Beijing Army's beheading camp.

In other words, Tang Hao did not let these people down, but gave them a chance to redeem themselves. Not to mention that many soldiers of the beheading camp were awarded titles and made generals in the years of fighting in the south and the north. Even Lei Xiong himself was promoted to the Earl of Yuncheng for his contribution to destroying the country and obtained a hereditary earldom.

So, Tang Hao couldn't understand why Lei Xiong would rebel?

Facing Tang Hao's questioning, Lei Xiong was speechless.

The reason why he clamored about the old things before was just to find an excuse for his actions.

However, the real reason why he accepted the bribe of King Ning and obeyed the dispatch of the Prince of Ning to betray Tang Hao was nothing more than for glory and wealth!

According to their design, as long as Tang Hao died, Lei Xiong would incite Tang Mu and others to lead the Beijing Army to mutiny and attack the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division. When the court sent people over, Lei Xiong would turn against Tang Mu and redeem himself, and then he would naturally be the next candidate for the chief general of the Beijing Army.

There are gold, silver and jewelry to take, beautiful women and maids to serve, and a bright future in front of him, so why not?

As for Tang Hao, the dead will not make people afraid.

Unfortunately, Tang Hao didn't die, and he reversed the situation.

Is this the so-called... God's will?

Lei Xiong knelt on the ground, silent.

Tang Hao stared at the one-eyed warrior in a daze, and finally laughed at himself.

"What bloody selection, what eye-destroying revenge, are just excuses you made up."

"What you, Lei Xiong, really want, in addition to those gold, silver and jewelry, in addition to those beautiful women and maids, is my position as the commander of the Beijing Army, right?"

"I think Zhu Chen Haojiang is trying to win me over on the surface, and colluding with you in secret, just to divide and alienate you, and then Li Dongyang intervened at this time and used you to complete the final layout!"

At this point, everything is clear.

Li Dongyang's plan was not brilliant, but it was very cruel and effective. He almost killed Tang Hao and then overthrew the entire Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, it was God's will that Tang Hao did not die!

"Lei Xiong, commit suicide!"

"For the sake of our relationship, I will leave you a whole body."

Tang Hao sighed and said: "Otherwise you will be executed in the autumn, and the law will be enforced!"

Execution in the autumn!

Law will be enforced!

Hearing this, Lei Xiong trembled.

He touched his head to the ground with difficulty, and then begged: "My Lord, my two unborn children..."

"I will send someone to send them to the farmers in the capital. I don't want them to be involved in these disputes and live a peaceful life!"

Lei Xiong couldn't help crying after hearing this.

He had a bright future, but unfortunately he couldn't resist the temptation. He made a wrong move and lost everything. If it weren't for Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao's old feelings, he might have been executed and his entire family would have been exterminated!

"My Lord, One-Eyed Lei is sorry for you!"

"I will repay you for your kindness in my next life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Xiong suddenly jumped up, and the soldier subconsciously drew his sword, but unexpectedly, Lei Xiong hit the blade.

In an instant, blood gushed out, and One-Eyed Lei died on the spot!

Tang Hao stared at Lei Xiong's body in a daze, and couldn't speak for a long time. His mind was full of the brave picture of this one-eyed warrior.

One-Eyed Lei is still good. He dares to fight and is brave and good at fighting. Although he has a bad temper, he is a good player on the battlefield.

Moreover, this guy is simple-minded and is most likely to be used as a gun by others.

There is no doubt that this fatal flaw will eventually cost him his life, just like now!

He died under Li Dongyang's calculations. Because of greed, he became the blade driven by Li Dongyang and almost killed Tang Hao!

"Collect the bodies and bury them properly!"

Tang Hao ordered in a cold voice, and then clenched his fists.

Li Dongyang, you are really good at tricks!

Not only did you successfully break the deadlock, but you almost killed me!

And you made me lose a brave general!

This time, I will not stop unless I confiscate your property and exterminate your clan!
