The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 61 The Queen Mother summons! What is right and what is wrong!
Renshou Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang was pacing back and forth in the palace with an angry look on her face, thinking about something on her mind.

Just now, her informant came to report that Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, had committed an attack and injured people at the entrance of the palace, and it was her two younger brothers who were injured!

Suddenly hearing the news, Queen Mother Zhang was extremely angry.

Originally, Empress Dowager Zhang was extremely grateful to Tang Hao because Tang Hao risked his life to save the life of Emperor Zhu Houzhao in the Nanyuan Tiger Case.

After all, she only has one son, and she has no grandchildren yet.

It is conceivable that if something happens to the little emperor, then she, the queen mother, will completely lose her power, and the days to come are destined to be very miserable!
Therefore, Queen Mother Zhang was very grateful to Tang Hao and wanted to take some time to give Tang Hao a banquet to show her favor.

But who would have thought that before she could give him a banquet, Tang Hao would be so arrogant and domineering, beating her two brothers right at the palace gate!
According to reports from eyeliners, her two younger brothers were extremely seriously injured, with their hands and feet broken, and they might even become disabled!

When she thought of this, the gratitude towards Tang Hao in Queen Mother Zhang's heart all turned into anger and resentment!

She is a woman, and the most important men are her husband and son.

In addition to this, there are her natal family, and now there are two brothers, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling!

The old Zhang family was not from a good background, just an ordinary family. Her father, Zhang Luan, was a scholar and entered the Imperial Academy as a tribute from his hometown. However, he failed to pass the test many times, which made the old Zhang family's life difficult and very tight at that time.

The Empress Dowager Zhang has always vividly remembered those hard days. It is precisely because of this that when she was selected as the Crown Princess and flew on a branch and turned into a phoenix, the Empress Dowager Zhang always wanted to give back to her family and be better to her family.

After all, most of the queens of the Ming Dynasty came from the common people. This was the ancestral precept of Emperor Taizu Gao.

Emperor Taizu Gao was born in poverty. He started from scratch and wiped out all the heroes before ascending to the throne as emperor. He was well aware of the dangers of relatives interfering in politics. Therefore, he clearly stipulated in the "Women's Training" that when selecting concubines, they should carefully select daughters from good families. It is unacceptable, so most of the queens of the Ming Dynasty were collected from the folk.

And Empress Dowager Zhang asked herself that she was not an ambitious person. She just wanted to be a good wife and mother, and to be an honest and responsible wife and mother. The only thing she could have done wrong was to indulge her two younger brothers, that's all. !

As a result, even though she tolerated giving in so much, someone still bullied her!

Queen Mother Zhang was very angry, and she had the right to be angry!
Those two are both her biological brothers!
The two younger brothers were destroyed by Tang Hao!
No matter who instigated this Zhongshan Marquis, Empress Dowager Zhang will make him pay the price!
Do you really think that after the late Emperor is gone, the Ai family will be bullied by you?
At this thought, Queen Mother Zhang's face turned gloomy, and she immediately asked coldly: "Then why hasn't Tang Hao come yet?"

"Replying to your Majesty, we have already sent someone to announce it. I guess the East Palace Hall is too far, so we have to wait."

"Send someone to urge you again!" Queen Mother Zhang shouted angrily.

"Yes!"

A young eunuch hurried out.

The entire Renshou Palace was a bit jittery and tense at the moment.

The damned Marquis of Zhongshan didn't know why he was so crazy, he insisted on provoking Shouning Marquis and Jianchang Bo.

Now that she is fine, the Queen Mother is furious. If she wants to execute Tang Hao, who can persuade her?
Tsk tsk, what a pity that a tiger general has to seek death on his own!
At this time, a eunuch came in to report.

"The Queen Mother, the Marquis of Zhongshan has arrived and is waiting outside the palace!"

"Xuan come in!" Queen Mother Zhang shouted angrily, "The Ai family wants to see who gave him the courage to destroy the Ai family's younger brother!"

"The Queen Mother has a decree to send Tang Hao to an audience!"

Following Empress Dowager Zhang's order, palace maids and eunuchs immediately pulled up a curtain in front of her seat.

It is okay for the Queen Mother to receive ministers, but she cannot do so directly and must be blocked. This is a patriarchal ritual system that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Otherwise, why should we "hang the curtain" to listen to politics?
Because of etiquette and ethics!
Even more rigorously, a historian will be present to record the conversation between the Queen Mother and the ministers.

But not today. Empress Dowager Zhang called Tang Hao here just to question him. How could she let the historian be present and leave her with a bad name for nothing?

At this time, Tang Hao went through layers of searches and took off his armor. Only then was he able to enter the main hall and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"The Marquis of Zhongshan, Tang Hao, comes to see the Queen Mother!"

"General Tang is free of charge!"

On the other side of the curtain, Queen Mother Zhang's tone was very calm.

After all, she was the Queen Mother and had status and status, so naturally she would not act like a shrew and directly accuse Tang Hao.

Although she was extremely dissatisfied with Tang Hao in her heart, she could not tell it on the surface.

"Thank you, ma'am!"

After the Queen Mother spoke, Tang Ritian stood up directly and stood with his hands down.

Queen Mother Zhang looked at Tang Hao carefully through the curtains and couldn't help but look shocked.

I saw that Tang Hao was tall, burly and majestic. He only shaved off his hair and beard, and looked like a barbarian. At first glance, Empress Dowager Zhang was very unhappy.

"General Tang, the Ai family heard that you had a conflict with the two younger brothers of the Ai family at the gate of the palace just now. Is this relevant?"

According to Empress Dowager Zhang's idea, Tang Hao should first be proven guilty of committing murder and wounding, and then hand it over to the Ministry of Punishments to be imprisoned for trial, and the mastermind behind the scenes would be tortured, and then all these rebellious officials and traitors would be caught, and they would be shown how to offend a local official. What will happen to the Queen Mother!
Tang Hao bowed and saluted and said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, this is indeed the case, but the fault does not lie with the minister, but with Jian Changbo!"

"When I was leaving the palace, I happened to meet Hou Ninghou and Jianchang Bo on the road. I didn't expect Jianchang Bo to say that I was blocking his way and told me to get out of the way quickly, otherwise I would break my dog ​​legs! "

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Zhang frowned immediately.

She knows her two brothers too well!

Arrogant, domineering, lawless!
Therefore, what Tang Hao said is very likely to be the truth.

"and then?"

"The Queen Mother does not know something. I have been growing up in the wild since I was a child. I don't know anything about patriarchal etiquette, nor do I know about superiority and inferiority!"

Tang Hao grinned and said: "Besides, they are princes and uncles, and I am also a prince. In terms of status and rank, I am not bad at all. Why does he dare to speak rudely to me?" "I just want to ask more. After saying this, Jianchang Bo raised his hand and was about to hit someone. I was forced to have no choice but to choose to fight back in self-defense..."

Behind the curtain, Queen Mother Zhang was already livid when she heard Tang Hao's words.

She finally couldn't bear the anger in her heart, slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Tang Hao, you are so brave!"

"Self-defense and counterattack? If you break their hands and feet, is that also "self-defense and counterattack"? The Ai family has never seen such a lawless maniac like you!"

Tang Ritian curled his lips disdainfully, not having the slightest respect for the Empress Dowager Zhang in his heart.

If it were the sincere and filial Empress Zhang, Tang Hao might still respect her a little more.

But in front of him, Tang Hao, who was Xiao Cheng Jing Queen Zhang, really didn't have any respect at all, but was full of disgust!
"The Queen Mother, it is clear at a glance what is right and what is wrong!"

"Perhaps the Queen Mother doesn't know that my strength is growing every day, so I didn't stop my hand for a moment. I didn't expect that the two brothers are so weak. They can't even block a punch from me..."

"Tang Hao!" Behind the curtain, Queen Mother Zhang was extremely angry!
"How can a madman and murderer like you, who is arrogant and domineering and maliciously commits crimes, be allowed to be in the court?"

"Do you really think that just because you saved His Majesty's life, you can rely on him and no one will dare to touch you?"

Ha ha.

Tang Hao just wanted to laugh.

"Empress Dowager, I still say what I said. It is clear at a glance what is right and what is wrong. Both the government and the public know what is right and what is wrong!"

"I would like to remind the Queen Mother that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone disrupt the government. The Zhang brothers have committed many crimes and committed many crimes. Isn't it clear to the Queen Mother?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

After a brief silence, there was endless anger.

"Be bold!"

Empress Dowager Zhang angrily scolded, "Tang Hao, don't think that the Ai family dare not kill you, come here!"

Several soldiers standing at the door agreed to pounce on Tang Hao and capture this madman!
At this moment, a eunuch shouted from outside: "Your Majesty is here!"

emperor?

How could he come?

Queen Mother Zhang was stunned for a moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded, and the young emperor Zhu Houzhao had already walked into the hall and faced his mother!
"Queen Mother, what happened to make the Queen so angry?"

The little emperor slowly walked to Tang Hao and expressed his position.

Initially, Empress Dowager Zhang was a little stunned and didn't understand why the emperor came suddenly.

When she saw this scene, a terrible thought flashed through her mind!

Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan!
emperor!

Is it possible...

"Emperor, Tang Hao maliciously committed an attack, causing your two uncles to become disabled. Don't you care about this matter?"

Hearing what Empress Dowager Zhang said, the little emperor was immediately angry and laughed very coldly.

"Whatever!"

"Why don't I care?"

"Tang Hao will be fined for half a year, and he will continue to train the new army and make meritorious deeds!"

Hearing this, Queen Mother Zhang felt increasingly uneasy.

"emperor!"

"You are so indulging in this madman..."

"Mother!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly growled: "Indulging crazy people? This seems to be what the mother has always done, right?"

Empress Dowager Zhang was shocked.

The little emperor continued to output.

"My two good uncles really made me look good! They bullied men and women, resold salt and meat, and preyed on the common people...the crimes were numerous and too numerous to list!"

"Queen mother, tell me who is the madman and who is indulging these two madmen?"

The little emperor raised his head stubbornly and asked the figure behind the curtain.

Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned for a moment and had not yet come to her senses.

Is her biological son blaming her now?
"Emperor, what exactly are you going to do?"

"What to do? I want to ask my mother, what do you want to do?!"

Zhu Houzhao angrily rebuked: "My grandfather built tombs beyond the prescribed limit and employed tens of thousands of soldiers; my two uncles occupied countless fields and had no account of gold and silver in the treasury. They were richer than me, the Ming emperor, and more than the national treasury." There’s still money…”

"In this great world, do these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers belong to my old Zhu family, or to your Zhang family?"
