The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 119 Stirring up the situation! You don't have the guts!

Qianqing Palace.

Chen Kuan hurriedly walked in.

At this moment, the little emperor was drinking the soup happily.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Tang mobilized the Tiger and Leopard Battalion and surrounded Liu Daxia's residence!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao immediately spat out his words.

"What did you say?"

"What does this damned savage want to do?"

Tang Hao went to trouble Liu Daxia and asked for the charts of Zheng He's voyages to the West. The little emperor knew about this.

It's just that the little emperor didn't expect that Tang Hao would be so bold and arrogant, mobilizing an army even if he didn't agree with him!

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, including the Beijing army, are not something you can mobilize just when you want!
Otherwise, why was Zhu Houzhao always restrained by civil servants and gentry, but he could only be incompetent and furious?
"Draft the decree immediately, then take the troops and fire tokens and other tokens and go to Liu Daxia's mansion!"

Chen Kuan was not surprised at all when he heard this. In fact, he had been prepared for it.

But one problem is that this imperial edict has not passed through the cabinet, so it depends on whether the cabinet recognizes it or not!

"Your Majesty, the Cabinet and the Ministry of War..."

"Go first!" Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed with cold light, "I will come to the cabinet and the Ministry of War to solve the problem!"

After receiving a positive reply from His Majesty the Emperor, Chen Kuansui immediately left for the scene without asking any more questions.

After he left, the little emperor overturned the desk.

"Damn savage!"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Then is Zheng He's chart really that important?"

At the same time, inside Sima Mansion.

Liu Daxia looked at Tang Hao in disbelief. After a brief silence, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"Zhongshanhou, Zhongshanhou!"

"You are so ambitious!"

"You still want a chart of Zheng He? Do you think it's possible?"

Liu Daxia sneered, with a look of disdain on his face.

After the death of Emperor Taizong Wen (Zhu Di), Zheng He's voyages to the West were canceled for a time.

Until the sixth year of Xuande, the relationship between the Nanyang countries and the Ming Dynasty gradually became estranged, and the grand occasion of "all nations coming to court" was no longer the same as in the past. So Emperor Xuande once again asked Zheng He to lead the fleet to sea. At this time, Zheng He was already over sixty years old. On the last voyage of his life, he died on the way back.

Shortly after Zheng He's death, the Tumubao Revolution broke out in the 14th year of Zhengtong, and the Ming Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.

As the national power of the Ming Dynasty declined, the imperial court could no longer afford the huge expenses of sailing to the Western Seas. Therefore, the shipyards in Nanjing were gradually abandoned. In addition, Japanese pirates were prevalent along the Jiangnan coast. Therefore, the imperial court no longer sent ministers to Nanyang. Instead, Restore the old system from the Taizu period and implement a strict maritime ban policy!
Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas were also publicized by thoughtful people and gradually came to be regarded as a bad government that cost more than the gains, wasted a lot of money, and wasted money and people!

During the Chenghua period, Emperor Chenghua only favored Concubine Wan Gui, who became an arrogant and domineering concubine. This woman was originally just a palace maid with a humble background and no knowledge. Relying on the trust and love of Emperor Chenghua, she won the favor of the emperor and was crowned the harem.

Concubine Wan Gui liked rare treasures. Wang Zhi and other eunuchs persuaded Emperor Chenghua to imitate Zheng He's voyages to the West and sent capable eunuchs to go to sea to find treasures for Concubine Wan Gui. Emperor Chenghua listened to the eunuchs and sent people to the Ministry of War to mobilize Get the archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West.

This time, Liu Daxia directly hid the files on Zheng He's voyages to the West, just like the last time he hid the files on Zhang Fuzheng Annan, so that Xiang Zhong, the Minister of War, could not find them, and finally had to bite the bullet and report the matter.

Going to sea is similar to going on an expedition, and even more dangerous.

If there is no specific route map, let alone treasure hunting at sea, whether you can come back alive is a question.

Since the files on Zheng He's voyages to the West were lost, and the civil servants and gentry repeatedly opposed and refuted it, Emperor Chenghua finally had no choice but to give up the idea.

And he, Liu Daxia, has undoubtedly made another "great contribution" to the country!
However, Xiang Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, approached Liu Daxia again and asked if he had done another good deed. Liu Daxia did not deny it. He also argued impassionedly that Zheng He's voyages to the West were a result of the country's maladministration and should be "destroyed to uproot its roots", so he took out The hidden archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West were directly set on fire and burned to the ground!

After hearing this, Emperor Chenghua wanted to punish him, but there were too many courtiers interceding for Liu Daxia, so he did not hold Liu Daxia accountable.

However, because he hid files twice, once withdrew troops and once withheld wealth, Liu Daxia became famous, and everyone in the government and the public knew about this loyal and virtuous man!

Well, the reason for hiding the archives of Zhang Fuxing's expedition to Annan was for the sake of the people in the southwest, and he did not want to go to war and destroy lives; the archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West were hidden for the sake of the country, and he did not want to waste people's money and increase the burden on the people!
In these two waves, Liu Daxiacheng can be said to be "loyal to his duties, loyal to the public and the country"!

Tang Hao looked at Liu Daxia coldly, and gently squeezed his fist. Suddenly, there was a burst of "crackling" sounds from the joints, which scared Liu Daxia and immediately shut his mouth.

"I say again, hand over the files on Zheng He's voyages to the West!"

"Don't think I am joking with you!"

Facing Tang Hao's cold gaze, Liu Daxia did not give in this time.

"The archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West were burned by me back then!"

"This Three Treasures eunuch (Zheng He) went to the West, wasted hundreds of thousands of money and food, and killed tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Even if he got some so-called rare treasures and brought them back to the Ming Dynasty, what benefit would it have to the country? What benefit would it have to the people?"

"Furthermore, no piece of wood is allowed to go into the sea. This is an ancestral rule decreed by Emperor Taizu Gao. Do you, the Marquis of Zhongshan, dare to disobey this order?"

"If one person goes to sea, behead him! If three people go to sea, his family will be beheaded! If three or more people go to sea, three clans will be killed! Anyone who leads a fleet to sea will be exterminated!"

"Marquis Zhongshan, you still want Zheng He's nautical chart, and you still want to sail to the Western Ocean. How many heads do you, Tang Hao, have that you can chop off?"

Haha, that’s really nice to say!

Tang Hao suppressed the anger in his heart and said quietly: "Liu Daxia, until now, do you still feel that you are not wrong?"

"Wrong? What's wrong with me?"

Someone sprinkled a handful of salt on the scar, and Liu Daxia immediately became angry.

"I have worked hard for the country all my life. Even if I have spoken to Li Dongyang many times, it is not to form a party for personal gain, but to uphold the principles and laws. I am aboveboard, honest and innocent. What is wrong with that?"

Aboveboard!

Be frank!

Pure and innocent!

What's wrong?

Hearing Liu Daxia's words, Tang Hao finally couldn't help but laugh. He laughed so crazy that he even shed tears.

"well said!"

"That's really well said!"

"Liu Daxia, you really deserve to die!"

Tang Hao gritted his teeth and sneered: "Do you know where the most damning thing about you is? It lies in your clear conscience!"

"As the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Grand Sima in charge of the military affairs of the world does not think about the interests of the soldiers and civilians of the Nine Borders, and disregards the life and death of the soldiers and civilians of the Nine Borders. In the interests of you Huguang Township Party gentry, you blindly use your power to crazily suppress the Nine Borders. The general of the border army is willing to kill them all one by one!"

"In the Liaodong military town, the price of rice was eighty cents, and nine out of ten soldiers and civilians died of starvation!"

"In the military town of Xuanfu, one, two, three or four cents of silver can be used to get rice or one stone. The soldiers and the people are short of food, and many people have died of starvation!"

"In Datong Military Town, more than 60,000 gold can be obtained for about 20,000 shi of rice. The price of rice per shi is about three taels. Many soldiers and civilians died of starvation!"

"There is also Jizhou Military Town, Yansui Town, and Ningxia Town..."

"When the soldiers and civilians on the nine sides have no food to eat, no clothes to cover their bodies, and are crying for food and eating tree bark, where are you, the chief commander of the Ministry of War?"

In anger, Tang Hao stepped forward, grabbed Liu Daxia's neck, and lifted him directly into the air.

"The most damn ridiculous thing is that you, the Minister of War, are completely indifferent to this. You still feel that you have done nothing wrong. You are still proud and at ease, and you are still shouting that you are frank and innocent! "

"Even if you are half ashamed, I think it is acceptable, but how do you do it with peace of mind?"

"Liu Daxia, you really deserve to die!"

Tang Hao unconsciously increased the strength in his hands. Liu Daxia instantly felt suffocated. Those big hands could crush his throat bones until he was completely killed!
At this moment, Liu Daxia was really scared.

In fact, no one will not be afraid of the threat of death!
Especially when Liu Daxia was facing Tang Hao with red eyes and a crazy look!
However, Liu Daxia did not beg for mercy, but stared at Tang Hao!

"Don't you dare kill me!" "Otherwise you will never get Zheng He's chart!"

Liu Daxia suppressed the fear in his heart, his face was flushed because he could not breathe, but he still sneered and spoke, stopped struggling, and just looked at Tang Hao coldly.

This is his only bargaining chip now, and it is also the only place where Tang Hao can take advantage of him!

If Liu Daxia is killed, Zheng He's sea map will never see the light of day again!

Sure enough, Tang Hao finally let go.

Liu Daxia fell to the ground and was suddenly able to breathe. He immediately breathed crazily, like a wild dog that almost drowned, panting violently!

"I know that you, Liu Daxia, don't have the guts to burn the archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West!"

In fact, Tang Hao couldn't guarantee whether the archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West were burned by this piece of shit.

It's just that he carefully read Liu Daxia's resume and found that this guy seemed to be upright but was actually a coward.

For example, when Emperor Hongzhi asked Liu Daxia to be the Minister of War, Liu Daxia had long known that the Ming Dynasty was terrible. Not only the Beijing army was corrupt, but also the border troops were similar. How could he dare to take over this mess? So he refused again and again. In the end, Emperor Hongzhi took a firm stance and Liu Daxia He had no choice but to take office.

After all, if Liu Daxia had really been that brave and courageous, he wouldn't have ended up like this!

"so what?"

Liu Daxia laughed crazily.

"Whether or not I destroy Zheng He's files, you won't be able to get them!"

"If you can, just kill this old bone of mine and let the Zheng He files be buried in the ground with me, hahaha!"

Facts have proved that Tang Hao really did not dare to kill him, and Tang Hao really did not dare to kill him!

Well, Liu Daxia is certainly not a fool. He certainly understands that the archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West that he secretly hid are now his talisman, so how can he hand them over so easily!

If the amulet is gone, what else can I use to protect my life?

Hearing Liu Daxia's words, Tang Hao was not angry, but felt a little disgusted.

This is Emperor Hongzhi’s most trusted confidant!
This is the famous official of ZTE who is famous in the history books!
How sad and ridiculous!
"Well, you guessed it right!"

"Then the Zheng He file can indeed save your life, Liu Daxia, and you do regard it as a talisman!"

"However, there is only one amulet, but it cannot protect others!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Daxia was startled and felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Hao took out a piece of jade from his arms and played with it in his hands, with a teasing smile on his lips.

"how?"

"Does this piece of jade look familiar?"

Liu Daxia looked at Yujue blankly, and the previous pride instantly turned into fear.

Because that was the jade he gave to his precious grandson!
A gentleman wears jade to shine with his virtue!
But, why is this jade in Tang Hao's hands?

"Tishuai left Beijing a few days ago."

"I asked him to do a small favor and bring back a child from Huarong, Huguang, your hometown!"

"Your son Liu Zuxiu failed in many tests, and he lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests out of frustration, working hard and studying. He refused to accept the crown and belt given to him by the government as usual. It is a pity that you, Liu Daxia, suffered retribution and died young. "

"Your grandson Liu Ruyu is quite good. He looks like a scholar, but he didn't choose the right name. He really looks like a stupid thing in front of me. He doesn't even know basic etiquette..."

My precious grandson, Liu Ruyu!

In an instant, Liu Daxia's eyes turned red. His mind exploded and he rushed over, wanting to fight Tang Hao desperately.

"Tang Hao!"

"You damn beast!"

"You actually went so far as to do something to a child!"

If the other party strikes first, it is a counterattack in self-defense!
Tang Hao raised his big hand and slapped Liu Daxia directly to the ground!

Then he stepped on his face again. The old and frail Da Sima could no longer move and could only roar angrily.

"Shh, be quiet!"

Tang Hao stretched out his hand and waved the jade in front of Liu Daxia's eyes.

"Zheng He files, exchange your grandson's life!"

"I count to three, don't wait until it's too late!"

Liu Daxia stared at Tang Hao with a face filled with resentment. If looks could kill, he would have wanted to cut this beast into pieces!

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"It's time!"

Tang Hao chuckled.

"It seems like you don't love your grandson much!"

"In that case, I will do my job and kill him for you, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao laughed and stood up and left, throwing the jade away.

Liu Daxia hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but the distance was too far, so he could only watch Yu Jue fall to the ground.

Yu Jue landed on the ground, only to hear a crisp sound, and instantly broke into two halves.

Liu Daxia stood up hurriedly and carefully picked up Yujue.

"Grandpa, why are you wearing this?"

"This is a jade. A gentleman wears jade, which shines with his virtues!"

The memories deep in his mind emerged, completely defeating Liu Daxia's psychological defense.

"Tang Hao!"

"I'll change!"

"I'll change it!"

Liu Daxia cried with tears streaming down his face.

Tang Hao also stopped and stood in the courtyard.

"A quarter of an hour."

"If I don't see Zheng He's files, I will slaughter everyone in your house!"

"Including you and your precious grandson, I'll send you on the road together!"

Liu Daxia trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and rushed to the study.

Zheng He's files have been hidden in a secret room in his study. Only he knows about them, not even Li Dongyang.

In fact, Li Dongyang asked him for the Zheng He files in private more than once, but Liu Daxia sternly refused.

He doesn't want anyone to use this for profit!
As for why he had to switch the package and deliberately burn the files in public...

This is not Liu Daxia’s original intention, but...

A thought at that time, I thought it was a way out, but I didn't expect that it would lead to today's disaster!

If I had known what would happen today, why bother?
