The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 224 Yang Yiqing

Tang Hao took the initiative to resign.

Moreover, his resignation was truly a farewell.

He left Beijing directly to go to sea and never returned to Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life.

Even Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that this damn savage would give such an answer.

"Savage!"

"Are you really so disappointed in me?"

Zhu Houzhao asked with red eyes: "Do you have to leave Ming Dynasty?"

Tang Hao nodded silently and expressed his true thoughts.

"Liu Jin colluded with Li Dongyang and forced me to kill Feng'er. It was nothing more than repaying him with his own methods. Just like when I planted a thorn in your majesty's heart with Zhang Yong, your majesty will think of Liu Jin when he sees Zhang Yong. What he did in the Nanyuan Tiger Case, now whenever your Majesty thinks of Feng'er who died tragically, he will want to kill me with a thousand knives, right?"

Facing Tang Hao's questioning, Zhu Houzhao nodded subconsciously. After all, he had just said that every time he couldn't sleep because of nightmares, every time he recalled the tragic situation of Feng'er before his death, he wanted to give Tang Hao to Qian. Cut into pieces!

"In this case, the direction of development of the matter is beyond your control."

"Have you ever considered, Your Majesty, that the trust between you and me has collapsed? Your Majesty no longer dares to let me command troops, and has become jealous and suspicious of me. Under such circumstances, even if I stay in the Ming Dynasty, it will be meaningless."

"Staying here is nothing more than becoming a Marquis of Zhongshan with no real power. This is not what I want, nor is it what His Majesty wants, so why not get rid of it as soon as possible, you and I..."

Before Tang Hao finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and angrily shouted: "Why don't I dare to let you take charge of the military?"

"This Beijing army was originally built by you, and you should continue to command it. In addition to the Beijing army, there are also Shandong Guard troops, as well as armies from all over the world. I will put them all under your control! "

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have made up his mind and roared through gritted teeth: "Isn't it just military power? I still trust you!"

"Savage, you have to remember one thing, Feng'er cannot die in vain, do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Hao froze on the spot.

What's happening here?
Feng'er couldn't die in vain?

Suddenly, Tang Hao woke up.

Why did Feng'er die?
Tang Hao did kill him with his own hands, but the person who really put Feng'er in danger was not Tang Hao, but Liu Jin!

The series of plans of Liu Jin and Li Dongyang seemed to be seamless and their purpose seemed to be achieved.

But they ignored one of the most critical points, and that was Zhu Houzhao's rebellious psychology!

That’s right, it’s reverse psychology!

Including Zhu Houzhao, who has always been impatient with the advice of the three senior ministers, it is also a rebellious mentality at work!
At this age, Zhu Houzhao is, to put it mildly, still in adolescence, when he is most restless.

Maybe he really listened to what Tang Hao said, because this guy was a savage who didn't know etiquette, and he really dared to scold and kill people.

After all, in addition to trusting Tang Hao, Zhu Houzhao also had an extra layer of respect for Tang Hao.

In the Nanyuan tiger case, Zhu Houzhao has always remembered Tang Hao's bravery and heroism in killing the tiger.

He can even kill tigers violently. If he really wanted to attack me, the little emperor, I would have died a thousand times!

In other words, no one had any evil thoughts towards Zhu Houzhao from the beginning to the end.

In this case, the more Liu Jin and Li Dongyang wanted to drive a wedge between them, the more rebellious Zhu Houzhao was, the more he would not let these two idiots succeed!
To put it more bluntly, Zhu Houzhao’s entire life was actually caused by his rebellious psychology!
As soon as he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the civil servants and gentry couldn't wait to put shackles on him and make him become like Emperor Hongzhi, obediently a puppet emperor, good to you, good to me, good to everyone.

But Zhu Houzhao just had that kind of virtue. The more you wanted to control me, the more I would rebel against you. So he didn't let the civil servants and gentry succeed, and did a series of ridiculous things, which made the civil servants and gentry miserable. , and finally succeeded in tormenting him, the Zhengde Emperor.

To sum up, Zhu Houzhao's absurd life was one of unrestrained love of freedom and doing whatever he wanted!
Liu Jin is indeed the person who knows Zhu Houzhao best in the world.

However, compared with Tang Hao, Liu Jin is still far inferior, because Tang Hao cheated!

"Your Majesty, you have to think clearly!"

Tang Hao looked at Zhu Houzhao with a half-smile.

"If you continue to let me lead the army, what if..."

"What if!" Zhu Houzhao sneered: "I finally understand that you, Tang Hao, are the only one in the world who is willing to sacrifice your life and blood for the sake of reviving the Ming Dynasty, even pointing his nose at me and scolding me!"

"The rest of the guys, including the old ministers of the Three Yuan Dynasties, are either wise enough to protect themselves, or they just shout slogans!"

"I'm not stupid enough to cut off my own arms to suit other people's wishes!"

"They worked hard to plan all this, but I just won't let them get their wish!"

That's right, I, Zhu Houzhao, want to be rebellious!

I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I can do whatever I want. I don’t need you to teach me how to do it, let alone use any conspiracy to force me, Zhu Houzhao, to do things!
Tang Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then turned into a heartfelt laugh.

Zhu Houzhao also laughed when he saw this, and soon his eyes turned red again as he smiled.

"Savage, don't think that I can't see that, you have so much pride in your bones that even I can't look down on you, right?"

Zhu Houzhao said quietly: "You and I are both people who don't want to be restrained, but I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be as lawless as you. There are too many shackles on me!"

"So sometimes when my temper comes up, I want to be dull and willful for a while. Do you understand?"

After all, Zhu Houzhao was really tired of the position of the Ming Emperor. He was obviously the master of the Ming Dynasty, but he became the most restricted person in the world. Coupled with all kinds of conspiracies and calculations, he really made this young emperor. Almost out of breath.

He, Zhu Houzhao, is only seventeen years old after all!
Tang Hao was startled when he heard this, then stood up and stretched out his hand to him.

"Then let us cut off these bonds together!"

"When you speak of the Constitution of Heaven and follow the law, you can still be lawless!"

Oral Tianxian?

Follow your words?
Can it really be done?
In the Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen achieved this, right?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up with blazing fire, and then he stretched out his hand and squeezed Tang Hao's big hand!
"I'm waiting for that day!"

"I want to gallop across the desert in pursuit of death!"

"I also want to sail on a long sea voyage and cut through the waves!"

"I... really want to be a stupid emperor, but being a wise emperor is really tiring!"

"That's almost enough!" Tang Hao said impatiently: "Don't force me to scold you!"

Zhu Houzhao was feeling sentimental. When he suddenly heard this, he became furious and yelled at Tang Hao.

"Hurry up and order Guo Xun to be fished out. After this lesson, he should be more cautious and mature. I want to go to the Dongguanting Camp immediately. I don't know if something has happened!"

When it came to business, Zhu Houzhao also suppressed his smile and immediately issued an order to arrest people.

Because Li Dongyang became the clay sculpture cabinet, His Majesty the Emperor's decree could be issued unimpeded.

Tang Hao regained his fighting spirit and strode out of Qianqing Palace.

"Savage, I like your book very much!"

"Write more books when you have time!"

The voice coming from behind made Tang Hao couldn't help but smile.

Will you write more books?
It's not impossible.

There are tens of millions of online articles in later generations, half of which are passionate and fantasy!
How about arranging a movie called "Break the Sky" for this middle-aged boy to inspire his ambition?
The barrier between Tang Hao and Zhu Houzhao was eliminated, and the whole person felt extremely relaxed.

But there are still many hidden dangers in the current situation, such as the Dongguanting Camp, which he has not been to for almost two years!

After Tang Hao arrived at the Dongguanting Camp, the soldiers of the Beijing Army were overjoyed to see him. Generals such as Xu Tianci, Chang Kuohai, Lei Xiong, etc. were also ecstatic, and they all came forward to inquire with concern.

Everyone understood that Tang Hou's appearance at the Dongguanting Camp at this moment meant that he had not been relieved of his military power and was still the Zhongshan Hou who was in charge of the Beijing army's troops!

However, now the Zhongshan Marquis has an additional Minister of War, Yang Yiqing, who is in charge of the military affairs of the world!
Xu Tianci reminded in a low voice: "Master Hou, that person has been coming to the Dongguanting camp since the morning meeting, and seems to be waiting for you!"

Hearing this, Tang Hao's heart moved, and he quickly walked into the handsome tent.

I saw Yang Yiqing sitting high on the main seat, and then watching Tang Hao's leisure work with relish. "Yang Yiqing, do you want shame or not?"

Tang Hao's face turned red and hot, and he stepped forward and snatched the manuscripts back.

He never thought that this guy would be so shameless and look through other people's things at will. He was so unqualified!
Yang Yiqing looked at Tang Hao with a half-smile, and a strange smile appeared on his originally stern face.

""The Overbearing Emperor Falls in Love with Me"?"

""On the Little Emperor's Development Diary"?"

"Marquis Zhongshan, it turns out you are..."

"Shut up!" Tang Hao was angry, "If you say one more word, I will chop you up!"

These manuscripts were originally based on Tang Hao's experience in "Emperor's Illustrations" and combined with the famous online articles of later generations. He wanted to arrange some "after-school readings" for the little emperor, and mixed in some private goods to help Zhu Houzhao grow up as soon as possible!
As a result, Tang Hao never expected that bastard Yang Yiqing would be so incompetent and unworthy of a human being!
Even the cheeky Tang Hao is a bit unbearable now with his old face.

Faced with the threat of violence from Zhongshan Hou, Yang Yiqing had to pay attention, because this reckless man went crazy. Not to mention that Yang Yiqing knew a little bit about boxing and kicking, even ten Yang Yiqing couldn't beat him.

"Tang Hou, I have also read the replica of the "Emperor's Pictures", but it doesn't match your manuscripts!"

Blue veins popped up on Tang Hao's forehead, he grabbed the chair next to him and wanted to kill someone.

When Yang Yiqing saw this, his expression immediately changed and he hurriedly said: "It's just a joke, don't mention it anymore."

After confirming that this guy was really scared, Tang Hao silently put down his chair.

"You're waiting for me here on purpose just so I can beat you up?"

Hearing this, the corner of Yang Yiqing's mouth twitched. After all, he had witnessed the ferocity and arrogance of Zhongshan Hou.

After a moment of silence, Yang Yiqing took the initiative to speak.

"Tang Hou, you also know that Li Zhaofan was unjustly accused."

"I have carefully investigated the assassination case of the Japanese deputy envoy, but it was just an excuse concocted by you to attack Japan and the Huguang Township Party."

"The assassination was unwarranted. Li Zhaofan and others have been unjustly imprisoned once. Now, is Tang Hou going to watch them unjustly imprisoned for the second time, and even lose his life for it?"

He actually came here for Li Zhaofan?

Tang Hao looked at this famous minister with slight surprise, unable to figure out what this man was thinking for a while.

"Previously at the court, you also agreed to split Li Dongyang's authority, why do you want to do it again now..."

"Li Dongyang is Li Dongyang, Yang Yiqing is Yang Yiqing, and Li Zhaofan is Li Zhaofan!"

Yang Yiqing sighed and said: "It is true that I studied with Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia as classmates, and I have been recommended and supported by them since I entered the official career. This is a fact and indisputable!"

"But since I have been an official, Yang Yiqing, I have never abandoned public service for personal reasons, and I have never done anything that harmed the country's interests and violated my true intentions!"

"It is the general trend to separate Li Dongyang's authority in the court, but it does not mean that I support your plans!"

Yang Yiqing looked at Tang Hao solemnly, and his tone became extremely harsh.

"I can turn a blind eye to the fight between you and Li Dongyang, but why did you involve an innocent man like Li Zhaofan in it and use his life to force Li Dongyang to resign?"

"Is human life so worthless in your eyes, Tang Hao? Or is it that you, the Marquis of Zhongshan, are really as ruthless and murderous as the rumors say?"

Tang Hao couldn't help but sneered when he heard this. He was not in a hurry to argue, but asked Yang Yiqing a question.

"Do you know how Xu Jin's mother died?"

Yang Yiqing was startled when he heard this, and his face instantly turned livid!
"You mean... what Li Dongyang did?"

Tang Hao did not answer, but recounted in detail the murder of Xu Jin's mother.

Yang Yiqing was stunned when he heard this, and finally closed his eyes in pain.

If what Tang Hao said is true, even a fool can see that the murder of Xu Jin's mother is full of doubts. It is clear that someone deliberately wanted to take her life, and then forced her son Xu Jin, who was the Minister of the Ministry of War, to go home. Ding You is in mourning!

Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang, how could you do this!

"Do you understand now?"

"The person who broke the rules first was not me, Tang Hao, but him, Li Dongyang!"

"He can kill someone's mother for his own purposes, so why can't I destroy his son?"

"Besides, it's not like you didn't notice Li Dongyang's previous performance in the court. He doesn't care about Li Zhaofan's life or death at all. What he really cares about is his own position of power!"

"Yang Yiqing, Li Dongyang is indeed different from you. He is a pure politician who puts power and interests first in everything. He can give up anyone and anything. This is Li Dongyang!"

Yang Yiqing didn't answer, just kept his eyes closed.

He was thinking, why did his former enthusiastic classmates and friends become so ugly now?

At that time, Yang Yiqing was a student with Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia. He drank wine and composed poems more than once, talked eloquently, pointed out the country, inspired writing, and described his political ambitions!
Among the three, Li Dongyang had the smoothest official career. He was selected as a scholar to enter the Hanlin Academy, then to the East Palace to become a close minister of the prince, and then to the cabinet and became a bachelor. It can be said that he rose through the ranks.

And Liu Daxia did not hesitate to make concessions. He was not only ups and downs in the officialdom, but also became famous due to two hiding incidents. He also rose to great heights under the political shadow of Yang Pu. He held an important position in the central government and was deeply trusted by Emperor Hongzhi. He was even more praised. He is the "gentleman of Hongzhi".

When did the two of them... fall?
Or are they controlled by the clan forces behind them from the beginning?
Yang Yiqing didn't know and didn't want to think about it.

He no longer wanted to pay attention to these stupid and scandalous things.

Yang Yiqing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Tang Hao sharply.

"One more thing!"

"When you left the capital, you took 10,000 soldiers with you, but in the end, only more than 5,000 soldiers returned to the capital. Excluding the 3,004 forbidden soldiers, where are the 4,000 soldiers left?"

"Tang Hao, the soldiers of the Beijing army are not your private army, how dare you mobilize troops without an edict?!"

At the end of the sentence, Yang Yiqing's tone was extremely harsh!
Because the four thousand soldiers who disappeared were clearly left overseas by the Marquis of Zhongshan.

However, there are no relevant documents in the Ministry of War, which means that Tang Hao once again bypassed the Ministry of War to dispatch soldiers. This is something Yang Yiqing absolutely cannot tolerate!

Although he is upright and devoted to the country, he is a civil servant after all, so it is naturally impossible for him to watch Tang Hao seize power and grow stronger!

Tang Hao looked directly at Yang Yiqing's sharp eyes and sneered: "Who told you that I am dispatching troops without an edict?"

"I am acting on His Majesty's orders as to the whereabouts of the four thousand soldiers. If you want to know, just ask Your Majesty yourself!"

Yang Yiqing's expression changed. He didn't expect that Tang Hao and His Majesty the Emperor were really planning something overseas, and that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were completely unaware of it. This was too terrifying!
"Tang Hou, you have to understand that no matter what you are planning, the deployment of soldiers cannot be hidden from the civil servants and gentry. We will know sooner or later, and you alone cannot afford to raise so many soldiers, so why do you do this..."

Tang Hao waved his hand and impatiently interrupted Yang Yiqing.

"That's the difference between you and me."

"Both of you and I want to revive the Ming Dynasty, and we both want to see the Ming Dynasty become prosperous and powerful!"

"But you, Yang Yiqing, can't escape the control of the gentry after all. You can only do your best to deal with the interests of the country and family personal affairs."

"But there is no clan behind me, Tang Hao. Even if it is the Tang clan, I will ignore it at all, so I can do my best to develop the Ming Dynasty!"

There are many people like Yang Yiqing. It's not that they don't want to be loyal to the country, but behind them are clansmen and nobles.

The clan gives you food and clothing, allows you to study and take scientific examinations, and finally you enter the official career, so you have to give back to the clan for its efforts over the years, right?
How to give back to the clan?

It's nothing more than occupying national interests and annexing fields.

This is not one person, but a whole group!

Yang Yiqing was restricted by this and struggled in this vicious circle all his life!

Seeing that Yang Yiqing's face was pale and he was in a daze, Tang Hao couldn't bear it, but he finally spoke.

"Actually, I didn't plan anything. I just occupied a Jeju racecourse."

"Jeju Racecourse?" Yang Yiqing was stunned for a moment, then lost his voice and said, "Isn't that from Lee's Korea?"

"No, it belongs to me now!"

"..."
