The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Outside the Zhenfu Division.

Mou Bin led the elite Jinyiwei to confront Tang Mu and other soldiers.

He had done everything he could, hoping that Tang Mu could turn back from his mistakes.

After all, the Zhenfu Division represented the authority of the Jinyiwei, and even more so the transcendent status of the Jinyiwei as the emperor's personal army.

Once Tang Mu really led the Beijing army to attack the Zhenfu Division and massacre the Jinyiwei, he would be no different from treason and rebellion, and would definitely be executed by the emperor afterwards!

However, Tang Mu was blinded by hatred at this moment, so he simply could not listen to the advice. Even if he died, he would catch Zhu Chenhao and then track down the mastermind behind the scenes.

The two sides confronted each other, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out!

Just as the atmosphere became more and more tense, a horse galloped over, and it was Zuo Yidao, who was familiar to everyone.

Zuo Yidao rode his horse to the front, and then whispered a few words to Tang Mu, whose pupils suddenly shrank, with a bit of shock and surprise, and then immediately returned to their original state.

Zuo Yidao sternly accused Tang Mu of misbehavior and conspiracy to mobilize troops without authorization, and demanded that he immediately hand over the admiral's badge.

Then Zuo Yidao retreated to the Zhenfusi Yamen, stood beside Mou Bin and whispered a few words. Mou Bin also cheered up, and a hint of joy flashed across his face.

"Tang Mu, why don't you surrender?!"

"Attacking the Zhenfusi is tantamount to conspiracy to rebel. Do you want your family to be confiscated and exterminated?"

Zuo Yidao spoke again, shouting loudly.

Conspiracy to rebel!

Confiscating family and exterminating family!

As soon as these words came out, the Beijing army soldiers who were ready to move suddenly quieted down.

This is confiscating family and exterminating family!

No one is not afraid!

Once Mou Ni is involved, there will be absolutely no way out!

The blood that was boiling with hatred before gradually extinguished because of the four words "confiscating family and exterminating family".

Tang Mu seemed to be in hesitation, his face was uncertain, and he was a little hesitant.

At this moment, Lei Xiong suddenly stepped forward and asked sternly: "Tang Mu, have you forgotten the favor of the Marquis?"

"Soldiers, the Marquis died tragically under the calculations of the villain, do you agree?"

With Lei Xiong's voice, all the soldiers of the Beijing Army had red eyes and clenched their swords.

"No!"

"Revenge! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

At this moment, the belief in revenge reached its peak!

Apart from the Marquis's kindness to them, the great Marquis of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's confidant and important minister, suddenly died of assassination by others. Anyone would feel chilled and aggrieved!

Because of Lei Xiong's words, the soldiers of the three armies were inexplicably angry and had a tendency to mutiny again.

Tang Mu looked at Lei Xiong deeply, his eyes were extremely cold.

But he didn't say much, just patted Lei Xiong's shoulder heavily, and then raised his knife to look at Mou Bin and Zuo Yidao.

"No one can stop me today!"

"My men, avenge the Marquis! I, Tang Mu, will bear the blame alone!"

As soon as he said this, Tang Mu waved his hand heavily.

"Brothers, kill!"

Seeing this, Mou Bin and Zuo Yidao shouted loudly: "Protect the Pacification Office!"

"Anyone who dares to enter will be killed without mercy!"

The battle was about to break out, and the deafening shouts of killing resounded through the night, frightening countless people.

At the same time, in the capital city, there was a secluded courtyard.

Li Shishi and Wang Lun were there, looking extremely solemn.

Besides Liu Yangzheng, the Juren, there were the three counselors under Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

Li Shishi was undoubtedly the leader of the three counselors, because he was not an ordinary person, but a Jinshi who served as the Right Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He was a Jinshi in the second year of Chenghua. Although he was not virtuous and incompetent, his career was very successful. He once reached the high position of Right Censor of the Censorate. However, he was impeached by the censors for corruption and bribery before he had been in office for a few years. Li Shishi had no choice but to resign and retire. The court immediately dismissed him, so Li Shishi stayed at home.

Li Shishi's home was very close to the Ning Wang Mansion. Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was surprised by his family's wealth and tried his best to make friends with Li Shishi. The latter also resented the court because of his dismissal, so he secretly colluded with Zhu Chenhao and became Zhu Chenhao's party member.

Wang Lun was also a Jinshi and an official appointed by the court. He was a Jiangxi councilor, but he accepted Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's willingness to be his party member and give him advice.

The two of them were different from Liu Yangzheng. Liu Yangzheng was just a Juren. He had no hope for a career, so he wanted to be an opportunist and tried to help Zhu Chenhao rebel and become a minister of the dragon.

Both of them were legitimate officials appointed by the imperial court, but because of this, they were destined to have a completely interest-based relationship with Zhu Chenhao. There was no loyalty at all, and it was even more impossible for them to follow Zhu Chenhao to die together!

When Li Dongyang explained Zhu Chenhao's situation one by one, the two reacted instantly. Their every move was in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, and they didn't know when their family would be confiscated and exterminated!

Zhu Chenhao, this idiot, didn't even know it at all, and was still preparing for rebellion and treason. This was the saddest thing!

Therefore, the two had no choice but to obey Li Dongyang and Prince Ning, sneak into the capital secretly, and plan this good show.

"Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao is dead!"

"Tang Mu, Chang Kuohai and others have led the Beijing Army to mutiny!"

"Zhu Chenhao and Liu Yangzheng have also been thrown into the imperial prison by the Emperor and tortured!"

Wang Lun looked at Li Shishi and said in a deep voice: "Old man, now we are just one step away. If the Beijing Army and the Jinyiwei fight, we can take advantage of the chaos and retreat!"

Li Shishi opened his eyes upon hearing this and asked: "Have you arranged your retreat?"

"Don't worry, old man. As long as the martial law is lifted in the capital, we can take a carriage out of the city. No one knows that you and I have been to the capital, let alone that this major event of subverting the court was done by you and me!"

Wang Lun was even a little excited.

Because the feeling of manipulating everything behind the scenes is really intoxicating.

You know, the two of them successfully killed the Marquis of Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty, and also eliminated Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, the leaders of the two major court forces!

A mere marginal figure can manipulate the overall situation of the court. This is simply a perfect experience!

Li Shishi glanced at Wang Lun expressionlessly, and then sneered: "Don't flatter yourself. This is not a calculation between you and me, but a strategy of Li Dongyang!"

"You and I are just pawns of others!"

If there was no choice, Li Shishi really didn't want to be involved in this life-and-death struggle.

Unfortunately, he made a wrong move that year, which resulted in the destruction of his family and forced them to be controlled by others.

"That Li Dongyang is indeed a famous scholar in the world!"

"He lives in the countryside but can plot in the court, which is simply terrifying!"

Hearing this, Wang Lun was also full of awe.

"Fortunately, it is him, Li Dongyang!"

"Otherwise, we would have followed Zhu Chenhao, the idiot, to rebel and we would not know how we died!"

"I think Nanchang has also started to act. It is estimated that the prince's report will arrive in the capital immediately. In this way, all the charges will be pushed onto Zhu Chenhao and Liu Yangzheng, and we can at least be saved!"

This is Li Dongyang's plan.

Li Shishi and Wang Lun sneaked into the capital secretly, assassinated Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, and then used this incident to put the blame on Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, forcing the court to investigate Zhu Chenhao and learn about Zhu Chenhao's treasonous behavior. At the same time, the report of Ning Wang's prince was also on the way to Beijing.

It is undoubtedly a strange story that a son reported his father for treason.

But this is the last chance to save the Ning Palace. After all, the Ning Prince selflessly reported his father's treason, which is completely loyal to the country.

According to the court's previous treatment, Zhu Chenhao will certainly die, and his other three sons will also be killed, and the remaining Ning Prince, who has "made merit", will inherit the title of Ning Prince.

After all, the Ning vassal line is also the bloodline of Emperor Taizu Gao, and the court will not easily let a line be cut off.

And the Ning Prince's "destroying relatives for the sake of justice" behavior is undoubtedly a golden signboard. The court will naturally not be stingy with rewards, but will hold him up high to deter those clan princes who have different intentions.

Don't rebel, otherwise you will only be betrayed by your relatives and friends. Ning Prince Zhu Chenhao is the best proof!

According to Li Dongyang's plan, once this strategy is completed, the situation in the court will change completely.

First of all, Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan whom Li Dongyang hated to the core, was assassinated and everything he had worked hard for would instantly vanish.

Tang Mu, An Guo and other arrogant and brave generals led their troops to attack the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, which was equivalent to treason, and would inevitably arouse the fear and suspicion of Emperor Zhu Houzhao. These confidants who followed Tang Hao would inevitably be suppressed and liquidated, so that the rise of military generals and nobles would become a joke.

Zhu Chenhao had solid evidence of treason and rebellion, and the civil officials and gentry would naturally not miss this great opportunity, and seized the opportunity to attack the emperor and force him to purge the clan power in the court.

In this way, the rise of military generals and nobles was interrupted, the clan princes were expelled from the court, and the civil officials and gentry could come back and monopolize power and control the government again!

Without that damned Marquis of Zhongshan Tang Hao, no one could stop the civil officials and gentry!

As for Li Dongyang himself, it seems that he has not gained anything, but as long as the civil officials and gentry regain control of the government, then he, Li Dongyang, will naturally have the opportunity to make a comeback. Moreover, after this incident, Prince Ning will listen to him, and Li Dongyang has taken advantage of the situation to break his own death situation.

It must be admitted that this cruel and vicious plan is really hard to guard against.

Li Shishi and Wang Lun were still chatting, checking for loopholes and confirming that the plan was perfectly implemented.

At this time, a guard hurried in.

"My lords, it's done!"

"The sound of killing in the direction of the Zhenfu Division is deafening!"

In view of the tense situation, they did not dare to approach the scene to observe directly, but even so, they could hear the shouting and killing in that direction from a distance. Obviously, the Beijing Army soldiers really attacked the Zhenfu Division.

Hearing this, Wang Lun was so excited that he slammed the table.

"Good!"

"That's great!"

"Zhu Chenhao's money was not wasted!"

"He can even bribe the generals of the Beijing Army. I can't believe it!"

Li Shishi sneered: "Weren't we the same at the beginning?"

"Who in this world doesn't love money? The emperors of the Ming Dynasty set up imperial manors to openly encroach on the people's interests and plunder the people's fat and blood. Why do they accuse us gentry of corruption and bribery? It's so sad and ridiculous!"

Obviously, Li Shishi is still dissatisfied with the court and the emperor because of his dismissal!

"Hehe, I think the little emperor must be mad now? Hahaha..."

Just as Li Shishi was laughing wildly, an angry voice came.

"I don't know how your majesty is, but you are in trouble today!"
