The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Chenhao was in a panic now.

Because a large number of officials looked at him with eyes full of fear and suspicion.

After all, only he, Zhu Chenhao, could do such an unscrupulous thing as assassinating the Marquis of Zhongshan.

The civil servants and gentry are different. The foundation of the civil servants and gentry lies in the court. Only when the court is stable can their interests be stable. Therefore, the civil servants and gentry will not raise dead soldiers, nor will they send people to assassinate them. This extreme method will only lead to chaos in the court!

The foundation of the civil servants and gentry lies in the court. They can fight in the court. The most common method of the civil servants and gentry is to fight with the party and reject those who are different.

As for assassinating political opponents, they would never do such a thing, because once they did, it would undoubtedly break the unspoken rules of the court.

Today I will send someone to assassinate you, and tomorrow your party members and allies will send someone to assassinate me. How can this fight continue? No one goes out, hiding at home to control the political situation?

It's simply not realistic!

Therefore, looking at the entire court, the only person who has such no taste and no bottom line, and has the ability to support the dead, is the Ning Prince Zhu Chenhao.

After all, that's what he did in Nanchang, raising a large number of dead soldiers disguised as bandits and bandits. When he met officials and gentry who were unwilling to submit to him, he would directly send people to assassinate and exterminate the clan, and then blame the bandits and bandits!

This assassination case looks very similar to it, with almost no difference.

In this case, if Zhu Chenhao doesn't doubt you, who does he doubt?

Zhu Chenhao couldn't express his pain, so he could only secretly hope that Tang Hou could survive this disaster and then restore his innocence.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao also noticed this and subconsciously waved to Zhu Chenhao.

The latter immediately stepped forward and bowed, but before he could speak, His Majesty's words frightened Prince Ning to the ground.

"Prince Ning, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

When Zhu Chenhao heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty clearly knows that I have occasional contacts with Marquis Tang, so why would you send someone to assassinate Marquis Tang?"

Occasionally come and go.

This sentence is the limit.

If you go any further, it would be colluding with the courtiers.

Zhu Houzhao looked at this guy coldly, thoughts racing in his mind.

Indeed, according to common sense, it is indeed impossible for Zhu Chenhao to do this.

The savage and this guy had a false pretense, and even deliberately took in this guy's woman. The two were on good terms, so how could they suddenly send someone to assassinate the savage?

If Zhu Chenhao wants to plot rebellion, he has to win over the barbarians. After all, the barbarians are in charge of the soldiers of the Beijing army!

It was impossible for Zhu Chenhao to do this under the circumstances where he had already made good friends, and there was no need for him to do so!

Otherwise, if the barbarian is really dead and the emperor replaces a trusted general to take charge of the Beijing army, will Zhu Chenhao have to bribe and win over again?

Therefore, no matter what, Zhu Chenhao had no reason to do this.

His suspicion can be ruled out for the time being.

"Better not!"

Zhu Houzhao spoke coldly.

"Otherwise I won't care about any bloodline relatives!"

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor has already made up his mind.

If the savage is really gone, the first thing he has to do is to directly eradicate this Zhu Chenhao.

Without the help of the savages to suppress everything, Zhu Houzhao was worried that he would get lost, so he could not wait any longer, so he killed Zhu Chenhao first. As for the other clan kings, they continued to follow the savages' plan until the generals and nobles were strong enough to compete. The civil servants and gentry were then granted vassal status overseas and expelled from the court!

Zhu Chenhao felt His Majesty the Emperor's murderous intent, and his whole body fell into great panic.

But he asked himself that he had not done this, so he remained calm.

However, Mou Bin hurried over at this moment, glanced at Zhu Chenhao who was kneeling on him, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty!"

"Huh? Have you checked it out?"

"The caravan that helped those killers sneak into the capital was none other than the caravan from Prince Ning's Mansion!"

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

Everyone looked at Zhu Chenhao with evil eyes, even Emperor Zhu Houzhao was no exception!

He stared hard at Zhu Chenhao, who was still dazed, and then raised his foot and kicked him hard!

"OK!"

"You damn bitch!"

"I was almost deceived by you!"

It is true that according to consistent logic, Zhu Chenhao had no reason or motive to assassinate Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao.

But this can eliminate his suspicion and become his own protective umbrella.

Zhu Chenhao was kicked over. After suddenly waking up, he hurriedly knelt down and argued: "Your Majesty! I really didn't participate in this!"

"This is clearly a frame-up! Someone wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the humble minister, Your Majesty!"

I have to admit that Zhu Chenhao is still somewhat wise.

He knew very well that he didn't do this, it was not his doing, but the problem was in his caravan, which only proved that there was something wrong with the caravan, which became an excellent way to frame him!

What a ruthless method!

Zhu Chenhao explained anxiously, full of grief and anger.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel confused for a moment.

Could it be true that, as Zhu Chenhao said, this was framed by others?

First, Zhu Chenhao had no motive. The death of the savage would be extremely detrimental to him!

Secondly, Zhu Chenhao's performance was indeed that he was unaware and was completely kept in the dark.

Thirdly, there are too many people in the capital who want Zhu Chenhao dead!

Who among the gentry in the court doesn't want to get rid of this damned domineering rebel king?

Zhu Houzhao subconsciously looked at Yang Tinghe.

After all, the wild man died and Zhu Chenhao was executed, so the people who benefited the most were the civil officials and gentry.

Yang Tinghe, the leader of the gentry, became the most suspicious person at this moment.

Feeling the emperor's sharp gaze, Yang Tinghe trembled and quickly stepped forward to explain: "Your Majesty, no one dares to assassinate court officials. This is a bad act that shakes the foundation of the country!"

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a precedent of an important official being assassinated in the court!"

Yang Tinghe seemed to be saying something insignificant, but Zhu Houzhao understood it.

Yang Tinghe was telling him that the civil officials and gentry would not do this. They would never use such a mean and unscrupulous means as assassination to assassinate an important official in the court to achieve their own goals.

After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no precedent of an important official being assassinated. If the civil officials wanted to do this, they would have done it long ago, not to mention that they have been in control of the government for decades!

Which one of Wang Zhen back then and Liu Jin now is not more hateful than Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao?

But did the civil officials assassinate them?

No!

This is not in line with the way the civil officials act.

So the civil officials also have a bottom line, they will not choose to assassinate.

Who is it then?

For a while, Zhu Houzhao was extremely confused.

The person who helped the killer sneak into the capital was the caravan of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao!

Zhu Chenhao was unaware of this and was suspected of being framed by others.

As for the civil officials, suspicion can basically be ruled out, they will not choose such an extreme method!

Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?

Zhu Houzhao looked at Mou Bin and said in a deep voice: "Seal off the Ning Wang Mansion, arrest all personnel, and torture them severely!"

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao pointed casually, and it was Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

"Including him!"

Hearing this, Mou Bin nodded.

He came to report now, just for this Zhu Chenhao!

"Take him away!"

The Jinyiwei armored soldiers stepped forward and held Zhu Chenhao up.

Zhu Chenhao was still begging and arguing, but unfortunately no one was willing to listen to his explanation.

The intention of rebellion was obvious, and the Jinyiwei had found solid evidence. How could you, Zhu Chenhao, deny and argue?

Even if it wasn't you who did it, it was your followers who did it. Wait for death!

Just at this time, a white-haired old imperial doctor came out of the ward, and then walked to the emperor and whispered a few words.

Zhu Houzhao's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly followed him into the ward.

Seeing this situation, everyone's heart was hanging.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the awakening of the Marquis of Zhongshan.

But whether he is out of danger or has a last breath to tell his last words, that is unknown.

Everyone present was in a tense mood at the moment, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Prince Xing Zhu Youji had a solemn expression, and had already sensed the coming storm.

He knew very well that Zhu Chenhao would not do this, which meant that someone had taken action against Zhu Chenhao, and would also take advantage of the situation to get rid of the Marquis of Zhongshan Tang Hao, but this was not the usual method of civil officials and gentry!

In other words, there was another force hidden in the dark, stirring up the situation!

Zhu Youji hadn't figured out who this emerging force was yet, but he knew one thing, once the Marquis of Zhongshan Tang Hao died, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao would definitely die, and even their clan princes would suffer as a result!

This damned mastermind wanted to drag everyone to be buried with Zhu Chenhao!

The cabinet chief Yang Tinghe also had a sullen face.

This time, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao was definitely going to die.

But this is not the key point. The key point is that once Tang Hou dies, the existing political structure of the Ming Dynasty will be broken again!

Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao has worked so hard for so long, and the hard work and efforts he has put in will be destroyed in an instant!

Because if he dies, no one can inherit his political legacy, and no one is qualified!

Zhongshan Hou dies, who will take charge of the Beijing Army?

Tang Mu?

He does not have this prestige, and he can't suppress those arrogant soldiers.

Qiu Yue?

The same reason, he is a frontier general, and Tang Mu, Chen Jizu and others will not obey him!

So no matter what, there will be big problems with the Beijing Army alone.

And who should be in charge of the East China Sea trade?

Once Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao dies, all forces will not only covet the interests of Japan, but also the interests of the East China Sea trade!

When Tang Hao was there, no one dared to covet anything. Even if they really wanted to get a piece of the pie, they had to obey the orders of Zhongshan Hou and let him preside over the distribution of benefits!

But now, the Marquis of Zhongshan is dead, and these huge benefits have become ownerless!

Who would be willing to give up?

With this thought, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but sigh.

As for Wang Ao, Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing and others, they fell into extreme fear.

Everyone hates the Marquis of Zhongshan, and everyone scolds the Marquis of Zhongshan!

But now, when the Marquis of Zhongshan Tang Hao was suddenly assassinated, the gentry of the court suddenly found that the Ming Dynasty seemed to be in chaos, and it was the kind that could not be stopped at all!

Just the group of Beijing soldiers who killed without blinking an eye were enough to give them a headache!

Not to mention the princes of the royal family and the military generals who were eyeing them covetously!

At this moment, the ministers missed the Marquis of Zhongshan Tang Hao very much!

"Marquis Tang, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, you must hold on!"

Just when everyone was anxious, the emperor came out with blood on his hands, his expression dull and numb.

"Zhongshan Hou... has passed away!"
