The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 233 Domineering and ferocious
The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.

One night fish and dragon dance.

The maid held two red candles and placed them on the candlestick, and a faint glow spread out.

Two other maids brought in a bathtub, filled it with hot water, and waited for the two masters to take a bath.

Seeing Zhang Jingshu slumped on the bed, the maid Zhui'er immediately muttered in shame and annoyance: "This is too cruel..."

In one sentence, the ferocious Zhongshan Hou was choked to death.

Zhang Jingshu's body was sore and weak, and she was being waited on by Zhui'er to prepare for a bath. After hearing this, she reached out and pinched her cheek, and said with a chuckle: "Xiao Zhui'er, you can't escape this day..."

Zhui'er is her personal maid, and because of unfair treatment since childhood, she and Zhang Jingshu are like sisters.

Now that Zhang Jingshu is married to the Marquis of Zhongshan, Zhui'er will naturally marry along with her and become the Marquis of Zhongshan's maid.

Zhang Jingshu didn't dislike the result, and she even felt a little relieved.

Because rather than being a servant for the rest of her life and marrying him in the end, she hoped that Zhui'er could be taken into Tang Hao's house and become a concubine by then, which would at least change the fate of the servant.

In fact, Zhang Jingshu has a soft temperament on the outside but is strong on the inside. She seems to be as delicate as water, but she is very strong in character.

Otherwise, she would not have always refused to bow to Mrs. Zhu Zhang and silently endured the humiliation, beatings and scoldings of this so-called sister!
But it is this kind of character that once conquered by a man, he will become obsessed with it and become soft and soft.

What's more, when you meet a man like Tang Hao, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Zhui'er suddenly turned red with embarrassment, lowered her head and dared not speak.

Upon seeing this, Tang Hao immediately sent the three maids away.

In fact, he was still not used to the way of life of these ancients. It was such a private matter, but a third person was present, because when the ancients had sex, a maid was required to wait on them, such as wiping sweat and so on.

There were even some cases in the palace where confidant eunuchs helped His Majesty the Emperor push his butt. Tang Hao felt his scalp numb just thinking about it.

Tang Hao's hands clumsily climbed up to the soft spot. Zhang Jingshu's whole body went limp, and she leaned on Tang Hao's chest with a "squeak" sound. Her pretty face was like a red sunset, and she was so charming that she gasped and begged: "... …Husband, please spare me tonight?”

"How about... let Zhui'er serve you?"

Zhui'er, who was standing outside the house, suddenly heard this and became even more ashamed. He stamped his feet in shame and anger, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to get in.

However, I don’t know why, but I feel a little hopeful. What’s going on?

When Tang Hao heard this, he was immediately shocked.

It is truly an evil feudal society. No wonder so many people miss it.

Zhang Jingshu's idea was very simple. After being educated by the empress and the old ladies in the palace, she deeply understood the truth. If she wanted to secure her position as the Marquis of Zhongshan, she must ensure that the eldest son of the Marquis was born to her.

But no one can guarantee this kind of thing, so the only feasible way is to feed your man so much that he has no energy to vent on other women.

However, Zhang Jingshu overestimated her own ability, or underestimated Zhongshan Hou's abilities.

It was only on their wedding night that she abandoned her armor and fell into chaos, making Mrs. Yipin Gaoming full of a sense of crisis and wanting to help Zhui'er rise to power immediately.

After all, they are sisters who have grown up together since childhood, and they are not outsiders after all.

He squeezed it angrily, causing the beauty to be coquettish and angry, and then he stopped.

"Your husband and I are not a beast, how could I do such an outrageous thing!"

"Madam, I heard some rumors. It seems that you are not happy in the British government?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingshu trembled.

A pair of beautiful eyes turned, looking at her husband in surprise.

After thinking for a moment, she didn't hide anything, but told everything about her miserable first half of her life.

Because, from this moment on, she, Zhang Jingshu, is the Marquis of Zhongshan. She will no longer have anything to do with the British government. Zhang Jingshu does not even want to maintain the so-called etiquette and respectability.

She wanted to see if the man in front of her would be disappointed after losing the support of the British government, and would he regret marrying a loser like herself?

Zhang Jingshu spoke calmly and expressionlessly as she recounted her tragic experience, as if she was describing something insignificant and had nothing to do with her.

Tang Hao looked at the beauty in front of him quietly, subconsciously reaching out and stroking her hair, his eyes full of distress.

"Shu'er, does that bastard father of yours have other brothers?"

"Of course there is, but he is the eldest son and is married to Duke Dingguo's sister, so this title belongs to him!"

Zhang Jingshu explained with a little curiosity, and was very puzzled by Tang Hao's question.

Could it be that he wanted to...

"That's not necessarily the case!" Tang Hao chuckled, "What if he breaks his leg, or His Majesty the Emperor decrees that he be abolished?"

"Dong Guo's nephew, so what? Can he be bigger than His Majesty?"

At this moment, Zhang Jingshu finally felt the domineering ferocity coming from Zhongshan Hou!

However, instead of feeling scared, the beauty felt a sense of security that she had never experienced before!
"Husband, it doesn't have to be like this."

"Actually, everything is over."

"I don't hate them, I even appreciate them."

"If it weren't for my good sister, I wouldn't be able to marry you!"

Zhang Jingshu was really moved, and her heart was filled with sweetness that she had never experienced before.

In this society where men are superior to women and there is a strict class system, it is simply the greatest luck in the world for her to meet a husband who truly treats her well.

Why can't Zhang Jingshu stay in her own home and want to marry into the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion?

It’s because girls are losers, and concubines are even more losers!

Her father never treated her as a relative and even wanted to sell her like a commodity in exchange for a sum of money!
Using oneself to save others, Zhang Jingshu was really shocked and moved by Tang Hao's actions.

How lucky am I to meet such a heterogeneous person who respects women?
When she thought of this, Zhang Jingshu subconsciously reached out and hugged Tang Hao's neck, and then kissed her affectionately.

Tang Hao felt the beauty's tenderness like water waves, and felt a wave of heat rising from his Dantian, which evaporated all the water on his body, and then greedily sucked the liquid in the beauty's red lips.

The next moment, the beauty let out an exclamation.

"Husband, no!"

However, it was of no use.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of Mi Mi sounded again in the house.

Zhui'er at the door was relieved, but when he heard the movement coming from inside the house again, it was far more intense and fierce than the previous one. His face instantly turned red all over his neck, and his legs were pressed together unconsciously...

The next morning.

Marquis Zhongshan rarely got up early.

It wasn't until the sound of the sound of falling outside the door that a visitor came to visit that Tang Hao reluctantly sat up next to the beautiful lady.

Then he turned around and saw that the beauty was still sleeping soundly, obviously because she had been through too much last night.

Seeing this scene, Tang Hao moved lightly, got out of bed, put on his clothes, and tucked the beauty in with the quilt, and then left with peace of mind.

After he left, Zhang Jingshu slowly opened her eyes.

Feeling her husband's meticulous warmth, her eyes suddenly became moist.

Those were... tears of happiness.

When I came to the lobby, I saw that it was already full of people.

The British Duke Zhang Mao, the Duke of Ding Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Cheng Zhu Fu, the Duke of Wei Xu Ru... all the distinguished nobles of the Ming Dynasty are here at the moment.

Even after Tang Hao took a look at it, he couldn't help but admire it.

Did your Excellency handle this matter very efficiently?
Tang Hao gave Tang Er a reassuring look, and the latter then stepped back with peace of mind.

After all, the people in this lobby are all princes and nobles, and Tang Ru is not qualified to sit here and talk.

In the entire Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, the only person who is qualified to sit inside, and who is also sitting on the main seat, is only one, His Majesty the Emperor's confidant, Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty!
"Boy Tang!"

"How's it going? The bones in your body haven't been hollowed out, right?"

Zhang Mao spoke first, but he made a dirty joke.

The princes present all climbed out of the crowd of women, so there was a burst of laughter.

Tang Hao also nodded with a smile and patted his chest to show his strength.

"Don't worry, old man, I've always been in great health!" "I'm warning you, although Shu'er is a concubine, I've always been very protective of her. If I know what you've done to regret her, don't blame me for following her. You fall out!"

Zhang Mao's words were not just a statement on the platform, but also a statement of attitude to Tang Hao.

He is Zhang Jingshu's grandfather, so naturally he is also Tang Hao's grandfather.

Then, Tang Hao is naturally one of the nobles!
This is the meaning of this marriage!
In fact, through marriage, the princes, princes and nobles have long been bound together into a whole with interests.

For example, the granddaughter of Zhang Mao married Zhu Qi, the son of Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo. Another example is that the sister of Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Ding, married Zhang Lun, the eldest son of Zhang Mao, or the sister of Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, married. Gave it to Pingjiang Bo Chen Xiong...

All in all, with the gradual decline of military commanders and nobles, these princes have long been combined into a whole through various methods in order to protect their vested interests and to get a share of the political power controlled by civil servants and gentry, and they can advance and retreat together!

What Tang Hao has to face now is the conditions proposed to him by the Daming Xungui Group.

In this case, Tang Hao is too lazy to make excuses with these guys anymore. Anyway, except for Zhang Mao, he is not familiar with the others, and this is even the first time they meet.

"Your Majesty means that as long as you pay for the ticket, you can board the ship."

"But after boarding the ship, you will naturally be responsible for all the goods you want to sell, and the royal family will take 50% of the profit!"

"What? Fifty percent?" Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo, exclaimed, expressing strong dissatisfaction!
It's not that he only cares about such a small amount of money and gives up the opportunity to do business with His Majesty the Emperor.

This commission ratio is really too exaggerated!
The 50% profit, plus the loss and labor costs of transporting the goods to Shandong, means that the profit that finally falls into their hands will not exceed 30%. This is no different from them helping His Majesty the Emperor do business and the Emperor is responsible for the cashier!

How can anyone be so bullying?
All the princes also discussed it, and most of them held objections.

After all, their money didn't come from strong winds, not to mention that every household had lost a lot of money in the early stage to buy this so-called boat ticket.

The Duke contributed 100,000 taels, and the Marquis contributed 50,000 taels. This is the marked price!
Do you really think these silver coins are not silver?

If we follow this percentage, they, the princes and nobles, will not be able to earn back the "ship ticket money" even after ten years of doing this business, let alone making money!
Zhang Mao also frowned and tapped his cane subconsciously.

"Boy Tang, there are too many, we can't possibly agree!"

"After all, there are hundreds of people in every duke's house waiting to support their families. Is it really possible for us all to go drink the northwest wind?"

As soon as the old Duke opened his mouth, everyone echoed his words.

Tang Hao put down the tea cup in his hand and sneered: "You don't have to do it if you think it's too much!"

"No one begged you to join this business, and no one put a knife to your neck to force you to do this business!"

"Don't forget, it was you who begged me, so I went to discuss with His Majesty!"

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

The true nature of this ferocious Zhongshan Marquis was instantly revealed!
It happened that the people present were either Dukes or Marquises, and their title was equivalent to Tang Hao's status. In addition, they were basically the second generation of powerful people. When had they ever experienced this kind of arrogance, they all looked at Tang Hao angrily.

Only Zhang Mao looked at Tang Hao with a gloomy expression, and couldn't help but remind him: "Boy Tang, don't forget, you are also a member of the noble family!"

This sentence is equivalent to saying it clearly.

It's a pity that Tang Hao doesn't like this.

Tang Hao shrugged indifferently, and then sneered: "It's true!"

"Where were you people when I was suffering? Zhu Hui even made trouble for me and sent a servant to humiliate me and break off the engagement. Is this what you call advancing and retreating together?"

When they heard this, everyone was stunned and their expressions were not very good.

To put it simply, the Marquis of Zhongshan was angry at the Xungui Group because of the actions of Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, and he has not yet vented his anger.

To put it harshly, the Marquis of Zhongshan has completely decided to side with His Majesty the Emperor. He is willing to be the little emperor's dog, suppressing the noble princes and plundering the wealth of the noble princes for the little emperor!

In the final analysis, it was all because of that damn idiot Zhu Hui!

Zhang Mao keenly discovered that the damn savage in front of him, even if he let his precious granddaughter sleep in vain, still would not return to him, and even showed a faint hostility towards Duke Xungui, and he panicked instantly.

After thinking about it, Zhang Mao could only say weakly: "Boss Tang, what Zhu Hui did was just because of his own stupidity."

"And he also paid the price for his stupidity. He is still in prison and has not been released. Isn't this enough?"

"I believe that going to sea is of great importance. If we only rely on His Majesty's power, it will never be completed in a short time. But with the power of our noble prince, it will naturally be different."

"So whether it is for the overall situation or for personal reasons, you should not refuse to join the Xungui Group because of Zhu Hui's matter!"

These words are quite pertinent.

After all, he was Zhang Jingshu's grandfather, and Tang Hao didn't want to make things too serious.

"It can be reduced to 30%, but there are two conditions."

"First, Bao Guogong's lineage is not allowed to participate in overseas trade."

"Well, they are not qualified to join. His Majesty has already confiscated most of their property. Even if all the remaining properties are sold off, they may not be able to collect one hundred thousand taels of silver, right?"

As soon as these words came out, all the princes' expressions changed.

what is this?
Justifiable revenge?

But no one could say a word against it!

Because Tang Hao told the truth, Duke Baoguo's palace was raided by Jin Yiwei, so where could Zhu Hui find 100,000 taels of silver to buy a ship ticket?

Is it possible for everyone to share the burden for him?
Don't be ridiculous, who would talk about affection and kindness at this time and offend the Marquis of Zhongshan for nothing?

The princes exchanged their opinions, and finally Zhang Mao agreed.

"Yes, Duke Baoguo will not be involved!"

"Second condition!" Tang Hao looked at Zhang Mao expressionlessly, "Break one of your son Zhang Lun's legs!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Zhang Mao's face was full of astonishment at first, and then he became furious. He stood up and shouted angrily: "Tang Hao! Don't bully others too much! What does this have to do with my son?"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter!" Tang Hao chuckled, "But your son makes me very unhappy, so he must pay the corresponding price!"

"Either you break one of your son's legs, or I break one of his legs with my own hands, and then let His Majesty issue an order to deprive your son of the throne. You choose one!"

"This is impossible!" Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo, was also anxious. Zhang Lun was his brother-in-law and the next British Duke. His sister's eldest son was running for this title. How could he change just because of Tang Hao's words? ?
"Marquis Zhongshan! Don't think that just because you are favored by His Majesty, you can do whatever you want!"

Xu Guangzuo slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Believe it or not, even if you really form a fleet, we still have many ways to prevent your fleet from going to sea..."

"Dong Guo!" Tang Hao looked at him coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao stood up suddenly, grabbed Xu Guangzuo's neck, and slammed him on the desk!

There was a loud bang, and the desk instantly fell apart!

This sudden and shocking change made all the princes and nobles look pale as paper!
Even Zhang Mao didn't expect that this "Tang Boy" who was usually very submissive to him would actually take such bloody and violent action!

This is absolutely crazy!

Xu Guangzuo spurted a mouthful of blood. Seeing Tang Hao keep approaching him, he struggled back crazily.

"Spare your life!"

"Marquis Zhongshan, spare your life!"

"I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

However, Tang Hao just bent down and stretched out his hand to him, and then pulled him up.

"Don't be so afraid. This is just a lesson to you. You shouldn't threaten me!"

"The thing I hate most in my life is when someone threatens me, remember?"

"Remember! Remember!" Xu Guangzuo nodded hurriedly, without any majesty as a prince.

In fact, all the princes and nobles present are the children of the powerful, and they are all just losers who have never gone to battle to kill the enemy!

Dealing with them is too easy.

Tang Hao looked at Zhang Mao coldly and said in a deep voice: "I respect you, old man, but this does not mean that I can tolerate Zhang Lun, that loser who dares to attack Shu'er!"

"If you don't have the heart to do it, then I will do it myself, and His Majesty will also issue an order. By then, the British government will lose all face!"

"Grandpa, do you understand?"

All the princes looked at the scene in front of them and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

They finally understood something.

Marquis Zhongshan is not going crazy for no reason today, but he is seizing power!
From today on, the number one person in the Ming Dynasty will change from Zhang Mao to Tang Hao!
