The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 419 A New Chapter in the Court

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

The deafening cheers of the common people and scholars still echoed throughout the capital.

At this moment, the lights were on and a grand banquet was held in the palace.

Zhu Houzhao was very generous in treating military generals and heroes like Tang Hao who had made great contributions.

This time, although it was the same as in the past when the emperor hosted a banquet with civil and military officials seated separately, the situation on the side of military honors had completely changed.

Duke Xin Tang Hao was arranged to sit at the first seat among the nobles, and the newly promoted nobles also sat quite close to the front. Except for Duke Yingguo Zhang Mao who did not attend the banquet, Duke Baoguo Zhu Hui, Marquis Wuding Guo Xun and others were all arranged behind An Guo, Tang Mu and others.

Everything changes overnight, with new people replacing old ones, and this is most vividly demonstrated at this moment.

And Tang Hao, the newly promoted Duke, has firmly secured the top spot in military honors!
Emperor Zhu Houzhao was now very confident, so he didn't bother to pay attention to these civil officials and gentry, and directly pulled Tang Hao to drink with him.

The young emperor was very curious about how the savages did it.

Thirty thousand soldiers against a hundred thousand cavalry, and these are the elite cavalry under the command of the Mongolian prince. The chances of winning this battle are slim no matter how you look at it!
But Tang Hao won, and it was a resounding victory!

Since His Majesty the Emperor asked a question, Tang Hao naturally had to answer.

He spoke one by one about the grievances between the left and right wings of Mongolia, as well as the early efforts of the Anguo Hetao Army.

As it turned out, Dayan Khan Batu Mongke actually lost because of his own ambition.

If Dayan Khan Batu Mongke had not been so ambitious as to eliminate all the great lords of different surnames, the right-wing lords such as Yibula and Mandulai would not have united to rebel against him, and Huoshai, the first general, would not have been so hesitant and indecisive, and finally led the tribe to rebel.

Since the Battle of Buir Lake, the Northern Yuan Khanate existed in name only, and Mongolia has been plunged into civil strife and division that lasted for more than a hundred years. The prestige of the Golden Family has disappeared, and even most of the khans have become puppets of powerful ministers and lords, and tools for them to hold power and rule Mongolia.

As a result, Dayan Khan was ambitious to put an end to it all and wanted to restore the sacred ruling status of the Golden Family. However, these foreign lords who were used to bullying others would never accept this and they jumped out one after another to rebel against him!

There was internal discord in Mongolia, and the left and right wings were divided. The Ming army seized the opportunity to form alliances, and the final battle decided the outcome. This is the story of this battle.

Zhu Houzhao's face flushed and his blood boiled when he heard this. He was an emperor who loved military affairs, and at this moment he wished he could transform himself into a soldier and fight on the battlefield himself!

However, precisely because he was the emperor, there was no such opportunity.

The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall!
It can be said that his "God of War" great-grandfather completely blocked the Ming Emperor's way to lead the army in person with his own failure!

Since I couldn't go to fight in person, I had to listen to what the savages said.

Zhu Houzhao kept holding Tang Hao's hand, and the emperor and his subject drank and chatted as if no one was around.

At a dinner party, the emperor gave wine and sat at the same table, which was the highest honor and favor. The court officials were extremely jealous and whispers could be heard from time to time.

It's nothing more than words like "it's definitely not a blessing for the emperor to favor a military general so much."

But no matter what, the civil officials and gentry are now unable to change the situation and can only drink in silence with sad faces.

The newly promoted nobles were delighted. They had long shared life and death with Tang Hao. The higher Tang Hao's status and the more favor he received, the higher their status would naturally be!
As for the faint sounds of discussions and conversations, they could not avoid hearing them, and immediately attracted a lot of murderous gazes.

In some respects, the concerns of civil servants are not groundless.

You have to know that these ruthless characters who have emerged from the pile of dead bodies may not be good at intrigue, but they are definitely good at killing!
If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who caused it!
Today's celebration banquet was originally designed for us, the soldiers who fought bravely in the battles. So is there anything wrong with His Majesty the Emperor sitting at the same table with the soldiers?

If you civil officials and gentry are dissatisfied with this, then just go away and stop disgusting others at this time of great joy!

Rough and direct!
Throughout history, when military men came to power, most of them were like this!
For example, Dong Zhuo in the Three Kingdoms period was born as a soldier from Liang Province. He eventually entered the court, but did all kinds of beastly things that angered God and man. In the final analysis, it was just because of his martial nature that he was too lazy to fight with court officials, so he simply killed them and got away with it!
No matter which aspect, the hidden dangers after the military takes power are definitely much greater than those after the civil servants take power!
It is said that a scholar's rebellion will fail in three years, but if a warrior rebels...if he has a little military power, he can immediately cause chaos in the whole area. If the military power is great enough, it will be enough to shake the foundation of the country in an instant!
Tang Hao was naturally very clear about all of this, but he was also a warrior, so he was not worried!
Moreover, his military merit foundation was still shallow, with only one five-army governor's office that controlled the world's war troops. It was far from the time when he needed to worry. Even necessary indulgence was possible.

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and used a stern look to stop these officials and gentry who were whispering.

The rise of the Military Honors is unstoppable. There is no need to provoke them at this moment, which will only cause dissatisfaction among His Majesty the Emperor.

But the chief military hero is Tang Hao, Duke of Xin, a man devoted to the Ming Dynasty. It is because of this that Yang Tinghe can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He believed that Tang Hao would not do anything to let down his country and the world.

The banquet didn't end until late at night.

Fortunately, this banquet was hosted by the emperor, and all the generals knew their limits. After the banquet, they all remained basically sober.

Tang Hao was retained by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Go back and rest first. Come to my house tomorrow night and we can get together again."

Seeing that the generals were waiting for him obediently, Tang Hao walked forward and gave a casual order. As for where the generals would stay, it was not his turn to worry about.

This time the reward was not just a title and an official position. The emperor had considered everything very carefully, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, residence and family members.

Civil and military officials left the palace separately, but their divisions were clear.

There are civil officials and gentry, old-time nobles, and new military heroes from Tang Hao's line.

On the same road, there are three teams, clearly separated from each other, as if they are not interfering with each other.

It was not until they left the palace that the several clearly separated teams dispersed.

Tang Hao and Zhu Houzhao stood on the top of the city wall and took in the entire scene.

"Savage, you have accomplished a great deed this time!"

Zhu Houzhao drank a few cups, became a little excited, and patted Tang Hao's shoulder excitedly.

"This is a martial arts skill that is comparable to that of Emperor Taizong Wen or even Emperor Taizu Gao!"

"Even if I die now, I will still be qualified to meet my ancestors in the afterlife!"

Hearing this, Tang Hao was a little amused.

"I have martial arts skills, but what about civil governance?"

Tang Hao looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with a smile: "We must at least achieve both civil and military success, so we can have the best of both worlds, right?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.

"As long as you are here, I will have absolute confidence!"

"A great ruler of civil and military affairs, an emperor unrivalled in history..."

Tang Hao quickly covered his dog's mouth.

"Ahem, enough about civil and military affairs, enough!"

"Don't talk about 'the greatest emperor of all time', you don't deserve it!"
