The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

"Save one by one's sword——"

Yang Tinghe pretended to shout.

Then Tang Hao took action, directly drew his sword and slashed it down. The good man's head flew up, and Li Dongyang died completely in his hands.

This time, Tang Hao took action himself, even if the gods came, it would be useless!

The common people and scholars exclaimed, and then subconsciously got out of the way!

Zhang Yong and Yang Tinghe slowly walked closer from the crowd and looked at the headless corpse, all in silence.

The former is silent because he has nothing to say.

This is the result he wants or His Majesty the Emperor wants to see.

As for accusing Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao of abusing lynching, it is better to leave it to Yang Tinghe. After all, Yang Tinghe is more suitable to be this evil person, and he, the chief minister of the cabinet, also needs to be this "evil person".

The latter was silent for a simple reason. In a sense, Li Dongyang was his... senior.

Li Dongyang became an official through the imperial examination, then entered the Hanlin Academy to hone his qualifications, and then entered the East Palace to become a former minister of Qiandi. After the East Palace came to the throne, he was promoted until he entered the cabinet and participated in machine affairs. He was honored as a bachelor and a leader in the literary world.

Yang Tinghe also followed the same path. The only difference was that Li Dongyang had Liu Jian surpassing him throughout his life, but Yang Tinghe did not have Liu Jian in front of him.

He is the Imperial Master of Zhengde and the current Chief Assistant of Zhengde!

It's hard to describe this feeling clearly.

The only thing Li Dongyang did wrong in his life was not seeing the general trend of the court clearly and not retreating bravely, so he ended up like this!

After being silent for a long time, Yang Tinghe came back to his senses and scolded sternly: "Marquis Zhongshan, how dare you act like this?"

"Even if Academician Li is guilty, he is a veteran of three dynasties and should be tried by the judicial department. How can you abuse the punishment and behead him in public?"

Tang Hao shrugged indifferently.

"Ren Benhou has been killed, how do you treat him?"

"Li Dongyang has just admitted his crime in public, and all the people at the scene can testify!"

"I am not abusing lynching and disregarding the law!"

Yang Tinghe snorted coldly, and then looked at Zhang Yong.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Zhang Yong waved his hand directly.

"Come here, capture the Marquis of Zhongshan!"

Well, they are responsible for finishing the cleaning.

Tang Hao gave up resistance and was taken away obediently.

Once Li Dongyang died, there was no excitement, and the people watching left one after another.

Li Zhaofan came to the stage with tears streaming down his face, cupped his hands to Tang Mu and said, "Please, general, please show your respect and allow the common people to collect the bones of my father."

"This is human nature, do you need help?" Tang Mu nodded solemnly.

There is no need to continue to embarrass others when their hatred is over.

What's more, "lay in peace" is the tacit consensus of the Chinese people and human ethics.

"Thank you, General!"

Li Zhaofan stepped forward while sobbing.

First, he kowtowed respectfully to Li Dongyang's body three times, and then gathered the bones.

There was no one else in the audience, only an old man and a young man.

"Grandpa, why are you crying?"

The young man looked at the old man with a puzzled face.

I don't know when the old man's face burst into tears, and his old face with ravines was full of pain and regret.

"My child, never become an official in this life!"

The old man solemnly took his grandson and warned him: "Don't become an official!"

"This Zhengde Dynasty is the end of the gentry and the gentry!"

"Don't ever become an official!"

The young man nodded in understanding and kept these words in his heart.

In July of the summer of the seventh year of Zhengde, Li Dongyang died at the hands of Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, and his head was beheaded at Caishikou in public display.

On the same day, Liu Daxia witnessed the tragic death of his friend with his own eyes, so he died of illness day and night in sorrow and anger.

Meeting the next day.

Yang Yiqing, Minister of the Ministry of War, openly impeached Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, accusing him of violating the court's laws and decrees and abusing punishments to execute prisoners. His actions had a bad impact and the court must severely punish him.

Although Yang Yiqing couldn't bear to see Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia forming a party for personal gain, the three of them were classmates and friends after all, and Yang Yiqing had been repeatedly recommended and promoted by the two in his career. Now that the two friends died one after another due to the death of Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, even the clay figure was very angry.

All the civil servants and gentry from six departments and a hundred ministers and gentry all submitted their opinions. If the Marquis of Zhongshan is not severely punished, the laws of the Ming Dynasty will become a mockery. If there are no laws and regulations, the people of the world will be able to do whatever they want.

Even if Li Dongyang is guilty, he should not be executed privately by a martial artist named Zhongshan Marquis!

Tang Hao not only slapped the civil servants and gentry in the face, but also slapped the court's laws in the face. If the majesty of the court does not exist, how can it govern the people?

The ability of civil servants and gentry to go online has always been comprehensive, and their skill points have been maxed out for a long time.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao was also very helpless about this. After all, Tang Hao obviously wanted to vent his anger this time, so he ignored the court's laws and regulations.

This time, the fault lies with him, the Marquis of Zhongshan, and there is nothing to say.

Moreover, what the civil servants and gentry said makes sense. If the laws are not correct and the laws are unclear, how can the people of the world consciously abide by them?

In order to vent his anger, Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, was able to kill the elders of the three dynasties and celebrities in the world. So why can't we directly kill our enemies to avenge ourselves?

Who will follow the laws of the court, and who will go to the government?

Therefore, it must be severely punished!

Zhu Houzhao sat high on the dragon throne and decided the punishment.

"First, deprive the hereditary title of Marquis of Zhongshan!"

This is the emperor's usual routine against Wu Xun.

Depriving Tang Hao of his hereditary title certificate means that he has become a temporary noble. If he does not make any meritorious service in the future, he cannot pass on his title to his descendants.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is useless.

As long as Tang Hao is still in charge of the Beijing Army, he will have many opportunities to make military merits in the future, so this punishment is not painful at all and has no effect on Tang Hao.

When Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong heard this, their faces turned pale and they were ready to continue to speak out.

However, the emperor's next words instantly set off an uproar, leaving the two speechless.

"Second, remove Zhongshan Hou from the position of Beijing Army Commander!"

Zhongshan Hou has lost power!

This is the first reaction of all court officials!

Removing Zhongshan Hou from the position of Beijing Army Commander is equivalent to depriving him of his military power!

The real foundation and lifeblood of military merit is not the title and salary, but the military power!

A military honor that holds real power and can mobilize the army is a real military honor with real power, which is very popular and no one dares to despise!

For example, why did the previous rebel king Zhu Chenhao bribe Zhongshan Marquis at all costs?

Isn't it because Tang Hao holds the Beijing Army's soldiers, which is the undoubted first military honor of the Ming Dynasty?

Once Tang Hao really chooses to collude with Zhu Chenhao, then the capital may really change!

As a result, now, His Majesty the Emperor directly took away Tang Hao's Beijing Army's military power, and directly silenced everyone.

After all, this Zhongshan Marquis has been in charge of the Beijing Army's soldiers since he became famous.

And the Beijing Army's soldiers, which were originally increasingly decadent, also regained their powerful combat power in his hands. Ten thousand Beijing Army's soldiers swept across the entire territory of Japan. This terrifying combat power is far beyond the comparison of other armies of the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, the Beijing Army's soldiers were "resurrected" in the hands of this Zhongshan Marquis.

So no one thought that His Majesty the Emperor would be so cruel and directly take away Tang Hao's military power!

Even Yang Yiqing was a little stunned, looking at Tang Hao with a blank face.

This seems to be different from what they discussed...!

Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor was afraid and suspicious of Zhongshan Hou because of the mutiny of Tang Mu and other Beijing army generals?

Many court officials were a little frightened and subconsciously looked at Zhongshan Hou.

Yang Tinghe was also very puzzled, not understanding what happened between Tang Hou and His Majesty.

He tried to find some clues on Tang Hao's face, but the Zhongshan Hou kept his eyes closed and thinking, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

At this time, a voice came from the dragon throne again.

"Third, remove Zhongshan Hou from the post of Left Commander of the Central Army Commander's Office and demote him to the Deputy Commander of the Central Army Commander's Office, temporarily in charge of the affairs of the five offices!"

As soon as this was said, the whole court was in an uproar!

Deprive of the hereditary certificate!

Remove the commander of the Beijing Army!

Demoted to deputy governor!

This time, the emperor's punishment of Zhongshan Hou was beyond everyone's expectations!

According to the favor of Zhongshan Hou, the ministers originally thought that the emperor would do everything possible to protect him this time, and the so-called punishment was just thunder and rain, raising high and letting down lightly.

But all the court officials did not expect that the emperor would be so cruel this time and directly dealt a ruthless hand to Zhongshan Hou!

The military power was taken away, the official position was demoted, and the once popular Zhongshan Hou has now become an ordinary military merit!

Could it be that the emperor really feared and suspected him?

In any case, the ministers understood one thing, that is, Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao-lost power!

The emperor lost his favor and became an ordinary person!

"What do you think, my lords?"

The emperor asked again, and the ministers were shocked and immediately came to their senses and knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Tang Hao also stepped out and knelt on the ground, saying loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhongshan Hou's tone was flat, his face expressionless, and he could not see any joy or anger.

The matter was then settled and came to an end.

Left-hand Censor Fei Hong then mentioned the rebellion of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

Civil officials and gentry naturally would not miss this great opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to expel all the princes of the royal family from the court!

In the past, the vassal ban was strict, so these princes were all honest and did not dare to make any usurpation.

Now it's good. His Majesty has lifted the vassal ban. Before, Anhua Wang Zhu Zongqi rebelled in his fiefdom, and now Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao is plotting a rebellion!

What does this prove?

It proves that the ancestral laws cannot be changed casually, otherwise there will be a big mess!

Fei Hong, Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing and others made suggestions in succession, striving to make His Majesty the Emperor return to the right path.

Zhu Houzhao remained silent, quietly watching these jumping up and down civil officials and gentry.

After a long time, he spoke lightly: "This case involves the royal family and vassal states, and will be jointly tried by the three judicial departments, with the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the presiding judge. In addition, the Jinyiwei will participate in the jury, and all the results will be reported at any time!"

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao got up and left, leaving the court officials looking at each other in bewilderment, without giving them the opportunity to continue speaking.

Tang Hao glanced at Yang Tinghe, and this guy probably couldn't sleep again tonight.

Yang Yiqing quickly caught up with Tang Hao and asked in a low voice: "Lord Tang, what's going on?"

"Aren't you going to recommend Qiu Yue? I'm cooperating well, right?"

Yang Yiqing: "???"

Is this how you cooperate?

Just quit and leave?

How can Qiu Yue, a border general, suppress Tang Mu, Xu Tianci and other Beijing army generals?
