The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 38 Things are changing!

Reward matters!

After hearing this, it was Tang Hao and the little emperor's turn to change their faces.

The old chief assistant said with a smile: "As the saying goes, there is no greater achievement than rescuing the emperor. The Yulin Guards, Guo Xun of Qianhu, Tang Hao of Baihu, etc., killed the tiger and saved the emperor. This is an indisputable achievement, and the court should reward it!"

Liu Jian spoke first and set a tone, that is, he should be rewarded!
But the more he acted so reasonable, the expressions on Tang Hao and the little emperor's faces became uglier.

We are not fools. We almost broke up with each other just now. Why do we suddenly become so talkative now?
This old chief minister may be brewing some conspiracy!

As expected, Liu Jian opened his mouth with a smile.

"The biggest contributor to this rescue is none other than General Tang Hao, the former Yulin Guard Baihu and the current Jinyi Guard Qianhu."

"And General Tang Hao is the fifth generation grandson of King Dongou. After his meritorious service, his family is loyal and loyal, so he deserves a heavy reward!"

The old chief assistant spoke again, emphasizing the words "after meritorious deeds, a family full of heroes", which directly set the tone of "heavy reward"!

Seeing this situation, the little emperor couldn't sit still.

"Ye Tang Hao, this old guy is planning to trick you!"

Tang Hao was noncommittal upon hearing this and nodded expressionlessly.

Even a fool could hear the coldness in Liu Jian's tone and gritted his teeth.

Big reward?

I'm afraid I want to chop myself with a knife!

The next moment, Liu Jian showed his fangs.

"In the past, King Dongou and Taizu were in the same territory, and they made great contributions to the founding of the country and became a duke."

"Then Prince Xin's son Tang Ding died young, his eldest grandson Tang Sheng died in infancy, and his eldest great-grandson Tang Wenyu suffered from "paralysis" since he was a child, and died before he could succeed to the title. Therefore, they died one after another, and there was no successor for more than forty years. During the Zhengtong period, the Tang family lost its title."

"Now that General Tang Hao has made a great contribution to rescue the emperor, I believe that the title of the Tang family should be reinstated. General Tang Hao should be the main one, and the imperial court should restore the title of the Tang family."

Let Tang Hao take the lead!

In other words, if the Tang family is restored to the title, this title should fall on Tang Hao!

As the protagonist of this incident, Tang Hao looked very solemn at the moment.

What does this Lord Yuansuke want to do?
Deliberately provoking a feud between Tang Hao and the Tang family, and wanted to use the Tang family's help to get rid of him?
If that was really his plan, he might be really disappointed.

Tang Yan's attitude was very clear. Even if this Marquis gave him Tang Hao, he would definitely give it to him!

What the Tang family wants is not a title of Marquis, but a man who can carry the noble banner!

Tang Hao is the person they chose!

So if Liu Jian really planned this, he would definitely be disappointed.

Next, the civil servants and gentry began their performance.

Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, raised questions, or in other words, advocated for etiquette.

"Master Yuan Fu, General Tang Hao really deserves a heavy reward."

"But if the Tang family is to be reinstated, General Tang Hao cannot be the main one!"

"Tang Hao was born in a side branch, and Tang Shaozong, the commander of the Nanjing Jinyi Guards, is the eldest grandson of the fifth generation of King Dongou."

"According to the system of direct descendants, the title of the Tang family can only be inherited by Tang Shaozong. That's why the officials thought that the title could be restored to the title, but it cannot be inherited by Tang Hao!"

The Minister of Rites should uphold etiquette and law.

Etiquette and law are the disciplines of the world. This is the foundation for Confucianism to be passed down to this day without declining!
The system of direct descendants is a core of etiquette and law.

Regardless of whether they are emperors, generals or ministers, or traders and pawns, all family property, large and small, should be inherited by the heir apparent.

For example, now, with the help of Tang Hao, the Tang family should indeed restore their title.

Originally, he had done nothing wrong, but because his heirs died early one after another, and for some unexplainable reasons, the Duke of a hereditary kingdom was gone.

Now that Tang Hao has accomplished the feat of rescuing the emperor, the court should restore the title of the old Tang family to avoid disappointing the hero.

However, the title can be reinstated, but this title cannot fall on Tang Hao!

why?
Because of the heir apparent system!

It is true that Tang Hao is the fifth generation grandson of King Tanghe of Dongou, but he comes from a different lineage and is not the direct descendant of the same lineage!
Tang Shaozong, the commander of the Nanjing Jinyi Guards, is the fifth generation grandson of King Tang He of Dongou, and the legitimate heir to the title!
Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, is now talking about the system of direct descendants, and no one can find anything wrong with it. If the Tang family wants to regain their title, that is indeed possible.

But if you want to give the title to Tang Hao, go ahead and have your big dream!
The ministers discussed this a lot, and they all agreed with Zhang Sheng that he could be restored to the title, but the title and Tang Shaozong would be the same!
The system of direct descendants is one of the core contents of the patriarchal etiquette system. How can it be destroyed just because of a mere Tang Hao?
Seeing this situation, British Duke Zhang Mao suddenly couldn't sit still.

This title can only be given to Tang Hao!
Because Tang Shaozong is a dandy, if you give it to him, you are really blind!
In addition, Tang Hao is the successor chosen by the noble military ministers. With a title and without a title, those are two completely different concepts!

Even Zhu Yong had a Earl Liu on his back.

If a military official wanted to become a noble, he had to make great military achievements to be knighted, so this first step was to kill many generals from the Nine Sides.

What's more, this is at least a hereditary marquis. If Tang Hao gets it, he can rise quickly in a short time and succeed Zhang Mao to carry the flag for the noble military minister!

He only had a few years to live, his body and bones were getting worse day by day, and he might pass away one day.

Therefore, Tang Hao must rise as soon as possible. Even if he has no military merits for a while, he can still stand in the court and speak for the noble military ministers with the name of a prince.

Therefore, we must fight!

This prince can only belong to him, Tang Hao!
"Oh, what a joke!"

"I don't care about the system of direct descendants!"

"I have a question for you. Is the person who saved His Majesty Tang Hao or Tang Shaozong?"

British public Zhang Mao went all out and also came up with a very emboldened reason.

The person who saved the little emperor was Tang Hao, not Tang Shaozong!
In the end, the title was not given to Tang Hao, but to Tang Shaozong. Isn't this a joke?
The real king ends up showing his attitude.

Upon seeing this, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other, and both of them smiled.

Ha, it's not easy, I finally caught your fox tail!

"Great Governor, merit is merit, but you can't mess with etiquette!"

Li Dongyang said with a smile: "The legal system of the eldest son is the law established by the ancestors and written into the laws of the country!"

"Legends respect concubines more than concubines. If you have a son, you will be a legitimate son. If you have a legitimate son, you will be an elder. If you have no children, you will create an heir. There is no respect for the subordinates and disorder. It is also not allowed to beg for an heir with a different surname!"

"This is a rule and an ancestral law. Doesn't the Grand Governor know?"

He looks like he's smiling, but he's secretly worried.

Li Dongyang had already speculated that this was a conspiracy of noble military officials, so it was equivalent to directly stating it.

It is very likely that Tang Hao is not a descendant of Tang He, but he was selected by the noble military ministers because of his rescue work, so he is ready to be pushed to the stage to be their spokesperson.

Facts have proved that Li Dongyang’s conclusion is indeed correct!
The reason why Liu Jian just spoke like that was actually to deliberately stir up trouble and make the officials object.

If Tang Hao has nothing to do with the noble military minister, then the British Duke Zhang Mao will definitely not speak out. No matter who the title falls on, it has nothing to do with Zhang Mao.

However, the British public not only spoke out, but also became impatient.

This is interesting!
That's it!

Tang Hao!
Liu Jian also laughed.

"Grand Governor, the patriarchal system cannot be violated. This title..."

The old chief assistant opened his mouth with a smile and looked at Zhang Mao meaningfully.

Want a comeback?

Want to get back on your feet?

Go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dreams!
Even if this title is fed to dogs, it will never fall into the hands of Tang Hao!
"Master Yuanfu, I think what the Governor said makes sense!"

The little emperor suddenly spoke up and intervened in the matter forcefully.

It turned out that he saw something was wrong, so he had to speak.

Tang Shaozong?
what?
I only recognize the savage Tang Hao!

If you don't give a good title to the savage Tang Hao who saved his life, why would you give it to Tang Shaozong?

If this really happens, you might as well feed it to the dogs!
