The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Zhongshan Hou Mansion.

Tang Hao was spending all his time and energy on accompanying Zhang Jingshu.

The mistress of the Hou Mansion has now become Tang Hao's virtuous wife. Not only does she keep the Hou Mansion in order, but she has also been committed to repairing the awkward relationship between Tang Hao and the British Duke Zhang Mao.

Previously, in order to board the big ship going out to sea, Xungui approached Tang Hao many times to put pressure on him. However, after Tang Hao exchanged interests with him, he asked Zhang Mao to abolish his dandy son Zhang Zhong and personally interrupted Zhang Zhong's A leg!

After this incident, the relationship between Tang Hao and Zhang Mao suddenly became extremely awkward, and there was even a hint of hatred.

As Zhang Jingshu's favorite granddaughter, the only thing he can do now is to go to the British mansion from time to time to visit his grandfather, and then say good things to Tang Hao.

Today, Zhang Jingshu wanted to invite Tang Hao to go with her, but Tang Hao was not stupid. He would not go with a warm face but a cold butt, so he decisively refused.

It happened that at this time, something interesting happened.

The second uncle Tangxi rushed over and said in a low voice: "Then King Ning Zhu Chenhao sent someone to deliver a box of gold and silver treasures in the name of apologizing to you. He also said that a banquet has been prepared in the house specially for you. Prepare alone!"

"Brother Hao, what's going on? When did you offend Zhu Chenhao again?"

Tang Er looked at Tang Hao nervously and couldn't help but ask.

Tang Hao shrugged indifferently and sneered.

"It's not that I want to offend him, but His Majesty ordered it to be so."

"According to His Majesty's order, I blocked this guy at the entrance of the palace and beat him up. He didn't even dare to fart. He even said that all his injuries were caused by his own fall!"

After hearing this, Tang Yu's expression became serious.

"This shouldn't be the case!"

"It is rumored that Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao is not a good person. He is amassing money and eradicating dissidents in the fiefdom. He was suddenly beaten by you for no reason. How could he swallow this bad breath? And he also showed such a posture. Not only do I give you gold and silver, but I also hold a special banquet to apologize to you..."

"Brother Hao, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I guess this banquet will not be a good one!"

Tang Hao touched his chin and nodded, roughly guessing what Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao was thinking.

The reason why he swallowed his anger, the reason why he sent gold and silver jewels, the reason why he held a banquet to apologize...all because of - military power!

Zhu Chenhao was granted the title of Minister of Guanglu Temple, and he would stay in the capital as an official for most of the time thereafter. For an anti-king with evil intentions, this was not a good thing, or it had both advantages and disadvantages!

After all, the capital is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the place where the emperor is located is not Zhu Chenhao's Nanchang base camp!

This capital is the headquarters of His Majesty the Emperor!

Zhu Chenhao stayed in the court and served as the minister of Guanglu Temple, which would help him win over courtiers and cultivate party members, which would facilitate future rebellions.

But at the same time, he will also be trapped in the capital, and his every word and deed will be under the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. He can only act more cautiously, and he will also have to think of ways to win over the powerful nobles in charge of the Beijing army. !

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the only person who holds real power is Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan!

"This guy is really thoughtful!"

Tang Hao sneered, and then ordered: "Second uncle, accept this box of gold and silver jewelry, and then send the royal guards to send it to the palace."

"Besides, if you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do. Tell the people from Prince Ning's Mansion that I will be there on time for the dinner."

"I would like to see what Zhu Chenhao has up his sleeves!"

Tang Yan frowned when he heard this, and then raised his mouth tentatively.

"Is it possible it's the Hongmen Banquet?"

"Hahaha... He, Zhu Chenhao, has lost his mind and gone crazy, so he would set up a Hongmen Banquet in the capital to take my life!"

Tang Hao laughed endlessly, and then replied domineeringly.

"No one in this capital of the Ming Dynasty can take my life!"

Do you really think that the soldiers of the Beijing army are just for display?

Tang Yan also laughed at his ridiculous idea.

If Zhu Chenhao really wanted to rebel, he would definitely not set up any Hongmen Banquet, but would try his best to win over Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan.

This is what an anti-king should do!

Time flew by and soon it was time for the banquet.

Tang Hao, dressed in plain clothes, arrived at Zhu Chenhao's mansion in a carriage, now called Prince Ning's Mansion.

Unlike other vassal kings who only temporarily came to Beijing to attend the clan meeting, before they entered the capital, Tang Hao and Zhu Houzhao finalized the two candidates for the clan lords to stay in Beijing, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao and Xing Wang Zhu Youqi. Therefore, the Ministry of Life and Works freed up two candidates. This mansion was given to these two kings.

The mansion of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao occupies a large area, which is consistent with his status as a nobleman.

Liu Yangzheng acted as the temporary housekeeper and respectfully introduced Tang Hao into the lobby.

Tang Hao glanced at Liu Yangzheng. In his memory, he seemed to be a character, but not very glorious.

Liu Yang was a native of Luling, Jiangxi Province, and played a very disgraceful role - one of the masterminds of Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao's rebellion.

This man was originally from a juren family. He was well-educated and knowledgeable about military affairs. He had great ambitions and was known as a famous scholar in Jiangxi. Therefore, he and another so-called famous scholar Li Shishi were favored by Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao and were invited to serve as staff members in Prince Ning's palace.

At that time, banditry was rampant in southern Jiangxi. Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao preferred to associate with cock-crowding and dog-robbers. He often interacted with bandit leaders from all sides and recruited people from the government to act as bodyguards, becoming a veritable "black boss" at that time.

Liu Yangzheng saw Zhu Chenhao's wolfish ambitions, so he flattered him and called King Ning "the real person who stirs up chaos". He often used the story of Song Taizu Chen Qiao's mutiny to trick Zhu Chenhao into plotting a rebellion.

Maybe this guy Zhu Chenhao, because of the grievances between the imperial family Tianjia and Ning Fan, especially Emperor Taizong Wen's promise of "divide the world equally when everything is done", it made Zhu Chenhao have dissatisfaction with the imperial court for a long time. It was just the right time. I'm immature and don't dare to act rashly.

Liu Yangzheng's flattery and seduction made Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao so excited that he praised him as a genius, called him "Mr. Liu", and treated him like a "strategist". Then, under Liu Yangzheng's plan, Prince Ning's palace made a lot of money and looted the people's wealth, and used the money to recruit troops and forge ordnance. The pace of rebellion accelerated.

In the autumn of the 14th year of Zhengde, Liu Yangzheng was ordered to draft the "Message to Zhengde" and was awarded the position of "Prime Minister of the Right". He followed Zhu Chenhao's 60,000-strong navy to sail eastward along the Yangtze River and held Nanjing with his sword, becoming a veritable military advisor. , reaching the pinnacle of life.

However, the final result was that he and Zhu Chenhao happened to meet a living saint in their painstaking rebellion. In less than thirty days, the saint put down the rebellion. Liu Yangzheng also collaborated with Zhu Chenhao and Zhu Chenhao. A group of close associates were escorted to the capital and beheaded in public display.

This ambitious speculator failed to realize his dream of wealth in the end. He even became notorious and spit on for thousands of years because he wrote an "Essay on Zhengde" for Zhu Chenhao!

When he thought of this, Tang Hao looked at Liu Yangzheng with an even weirder look.

Liu Yangzheng naturally noticed the strange look in Marquis Zhongshan's eyes, and thought for a long time but didn't understand what it meant.

Just when he felt like there was a light on his back, he finally arrived at the lobby of the palace.

Zhu Chenhao had been waiting here early. As soon as he saw Tang Hao, he immediately stepped forward to greet him with great enthusiasm.

"Zhongshan Hou, you are finally here!"

"On that day, Xiao Wang was blind and accidentally bumped into Marquis Zhongshan, so I specially organized this banquet to apologize to Marquis Zhongshan!"

When Tang Hao heard this, he looked at Zhu Chenhao with a half-smile.

The bruises on this guy's face have not gone away, but he can swallow his anger and apologize to himself. He is indeed a cruel person.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning is too polite."

"Then the Marquis of Japan was in a bad mood, so he took action rashly. Please forgive me, Lord Ning!"

Tang Hao cupped his hands casually, which made Liu Yangzheng frowning at the side.

The Marquis of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty was really as arrogant, domineering and arrogant as rumored!

When my prince was in Nanchang, had he ever been so despised and neglected by others!

As a dignified prince, I humbly apologize to you and look indifferent. Do you really think that the person who made the mistake is our prince?

What a bastard!

Zhu Chenhao's eyes were cold, but he did not forget the purpose of today, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and pulled Tang Hao to sit down.

Liu Yangzheng was naturally not qualified to sit. He acted as the host, clapped his hands, and soon a group of Yingying Yanyan walked into the lobby.

These beauties are all dressed in robes, which makes one's heart boil with excitement at a glance.

Under the command of Liu Yangzheng, they immediately danced gracefully, and their dance was full of coquettishness from the inside out.

Every movement they make seems to be aimed at arousing the original desires of the guests, and the look in their eyes while dancing makes people's hands and feet go limp and their mouths go dry.

After just a glance, Tang Hao's eyes did not dare to look at these goblins anymore. All his energy at the moment was used to suppress Xiao Tangzi who was about to move.

For the sake of his future sexual life, Tang Hao has always kept himself clean and will never radiate his energy to other women.

As if he felt that the heat was not enough, Zhu Chenhao gave Liu Yangzheng a look, and the latter immediately clapped his hands, and the next moment a beautiful figure appeared in the center.

This is an Orchid. Her appearance is quite different from that of Han people, but she is full of exotic customs.

The stunning Orchid is covered in light clothes, her exquisite figure is looming, the charm flowing between her eyebrows, the golden hairpin passing through the combed black hair, waves of fragrance coming, her steps are light and graceful, like a fairy descending to the earth, blowing in the Qinhuai wind blowing the painting boat Dancing in the middle, every frown and smile is filled with thousands of charms.

Those slender legs and the half-covered gauze skirt make people feel like there is a fragrance blowing in the face.

Any normal man would find it difficult to look away when seeing this scene.

Tang Hao originally thought that he shouldn't be so unrestrained, but then he thought that he was in front of Zhu Chenhao and others, so there was no need to pretend to be a gentleman.

There is still a lot of time to play with this guy later.

So Tang Hao laughed a little wildly, then raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"This woman is really... charming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao couldn't help but stepped forward, pulled the stunning Hu Ji into his arms amidst everyone's exclamations, and began to caress her wantonly.

Zhu Chenhao was startled at first, and then an imperceptible sneer flashed across his face.

He finally found this beast's weakness!

Greedy for money, lustful, arrogant and domineering, this is what Zhu Chenhao really wants to see!

As long as he grasps these weaknesses, Zhu Chenhao can slowly erode the Ming Zhongshan Marquis until he becomes his own!

You know, this guy holds soldiers from the Beijing Army in his hands!

When he thought of this, Zhu Chenhao felt hot inside.

He turned a blind eye to the charming scene in front of him of Tang Haoxiao playing with the stunning Orchid, and took the opportunity to ask the question he was most concerned about.

"Marquis Tang, the Anhua King Zhu Chixiu suddenly rebelled. His Majesty was furious and imprisoned the Qing King Zhu Taihuo..."

"Will this matter affect the transaction between our clan and your majesty? What if your majesty becomes jealous and suspicious of the clan king again because of this? What should we do?"

Zhu Chenhao asked very straightforwardly. This was actually a test. He wanted to see Tang Hao's sincerity.

Tang Hao's eyes flashed when he heard this. While playing with the graceful body of the stunning Hu Ji, he looked at Zhu Chenhao with a half-smile.

"Prince Ning, trying to figure out the Holy Will without authorization is not what a minister would do!"

Zhu Chenhao choked to death at these words!

He wanted to lift the table directly, but he could only swallow his anger.

You've collected all your damn gold and silver, you've collected the stunning Hu Ji, and now you're acting loyal to me?

How disgusting!

Just when Zhu Chenhao looked ugly, Tang Hao changed the topic.

"However, I have not heard of any unusual movements in the palace, and no orders have been sent to the cabinet."

"In other words, Prince Ning is still the minister of Guanglu Temple, and Prince Xing is also the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Isn't this enough?"

enough!

Of course that's enough!

After learning this secret, Zhu Chenhao was immediately overjoyed. He had been worried about Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion before, but now he finally felt at ease.

Since His Majesty has no intention of touching the official positions of the two kings, it proves that Your Majesty still insists on bringing the clan into the DPRK to fight against the civil servants and gentry, and will not change because of this matter. This is the best result!

"Prince Ning, to put it bluntly, the clan princes are, after all, the blood clan of the imperial family. Even if His Majesty the Emperor is wary and fearful, he still knows it well."

"But the civil servants and gentry are different. This group of ministers with foreign surnames have been controlling the government and trying to completely evade the imperial power. This is something that His Majesty the Emperor will never tolerate!"

"If it weren't for this reason, why would His Majesty the Emperor risk the disapproval of the world and bear the infamy of disturbing the ancestral law and insisting on bringing the clan into the court!"

Zhu Chenhao's eyes lit up.

He has captured a message again!

That means Emperor Zhengde is already on the same page as the civil servants and gentry!

The contradiction between the two could no longer be reconciled, so Emperor Zhengde was forced to bring the clan into the court!

For Zhu Chenhao, this is simply a God-given opportunity!

The fierce confrontation between Zhu Houzhao and the civil servants and gentry happened to be his best opportunity to win over the courtiers.

These gentry are extremely greedy. As long as they use gold and silver to open the way, coupled with the current situation in the court, Zhu Chenhao is very confident that he can win over a group of party members in a short time and cultivate his own power in the court!

Tonight's dinner party has achieved all its goals.

First, he had a good relationship with Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan. Tang Hao had just taken the initiative to show his goodwill, which undoubtedly showed that his goal had been achieved.

The second is to determine the impact of Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion on the clan kings. His Majesty the Emperor has no plans to change his and Zhu Youqi's official positions, which means that the previous exchange of interests has not been suspended.

There was even a third unexpected surprise, which was learning about the fierce conflict between Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Zhengde.

So Zhu Chenhao was extremely happy and truly realized the value of Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao.

This person is undoubtedly the absolute confidant of the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, but he is also an arrogant, domineering, greedy and lustful man without a brain!

If Zhu Chenhao can take this Tang Hao for his own use, then great things will happen!

"Tang Hou, come and drink this cup!"

"You and I have an irreversible friendship. It's rare for us to gather here today. Let's drink and have fun with full friendship!"

Friendship?

I have a far-fetched friendship with you!

If there really was that much so-called "friendship", maybe Tang Hao beat this guy violently.

Tang Hao kissed the stunning Hu Ji deeply on the lips, showing an impatient and lustful look.

Zhu Chenhao and Liu Yangzheng looked at each other, and the banquet ended.

Tang Hao held the stunning Hu Ji in his arms and walked out of Ning Prince's Mansion, then got on the carriage and went straight to his own Hou Mansion.

After watching Tang Hao leave, Zhu Chenhao withdrew his gaze and sat on the main seat with contentment.

"Mr. Liu, this Tang Hao is just a greedy and lustful person. Our great cause has taken another step forward!"

Liu Yangzheng stroked his beard and said: "Speaking of which, it is normal for warriors to be lustful, but greed for money is the nature of the powerful, so it is understandable that the Marquis of Zhongshan is greedy for money and lust."

"It is rumored that Tang Hao was originally a vulgar warrior and just an honorary guard. It was because of his rescue efforts from the Nanyuan Tigers that he was able to soar into the sky and become a hot new man in the court of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Courageous, foolhardy, greedy and lustful people, such talents are more likely to be controlled by the prince!"

Zhu Chenhao nodded with deep understanding, but his expression suddenly turned serious.

"This reckless man is really cheap!"

"I have never enjoyed that stunning Orchid before, but I didn't expect that I would be able to get it for free!"

Liu Yangzheng was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and immediately spoke to comfort him: "Your Majesty, as long as you can win over this Tang Hao, let alone a mere Hu Ji, even if it is ten hundred, it is completely worth it!"

"As long as our hegemony is established, does the prince still need some stunning women to enjoy?"

Of course this is the truth, but Zhu Chenhao still felt unhappy.

Liu Yangzheng reacted immediately and ordered two pretty maids to be summoned. Then he wisely withdrew. The next moment, a shrill scream came from the room.

In the carriage, Tang Hao returned to his normal state and glared at Hu Ji coldly, who immediately shrank aside in fear.

"A stunningly beautiful woman like you can only be reduced to a man's plaything in this era!"

Tang Hao couldn't help but reached out and pinched Hu Ji's chin, staring closely at her peerless face.

"Give you a chance to choose."

"Either you become my wife and serve me wholeheartedly; or I send someone to send you out of the capital, and you can go wherever you want."

"Just now, it was just me, Zhu Chenhaoxu, and Wei Snake, so you and I were just playing along. Now it's up to you to choose where to go!"

The stunning Hu Ji looked at Tang Hao blankly.

Why didn't she understand that this stunning appearance destined her to live a miserable life?

Unless... I can meet a good man.

Hu Ji just thought about it for a moment, and then answered with practical actions.

Inside the carriage, ecstatic applause soon erupted.
