The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 39 Fierce confrontation!

The little emperor spoke.

Also useless!

Just now, the civil servants and gentry were disgraced.

A good plan against the Eight Tigers eunuchs was completely dismantled.

Not only was the British Duke Zhang Mao moved out, but Chen Kuan, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, suddenly turned against him!

As a result, as soon as Ma Wensheng's sharp knife came out of its sheath, the Chief of Ceremonies forced it back.

None of the Eight Tigers eunuchs were liquidated, but one Liu Jin was unlucky, and other unscrupulous eunuchs were pushed out to top the vat!

These words are extremely beautiful.

After getting the answers he wanted, the smile on Tang Hao's face became even bigger.

Hearing this, Ma Wensheng frowned and shook his head.

Two civil servants who were born as Jinshi were awarded titles for their military merits. The life of the already declining noble military ministers naturally became more difficult, because they almost never got any opportunities to make military achievements.

It was Tang Hao who obviously risked his life to save him, not Tang Shaozong!

These civil servants and gentry in front of me should all die!

Tang Hao's face was expressionless, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the ministers present, and then looked at the British Duke Zhang Mao!

In the third year of Zhengtong, the young emperor Yingzong directly issued a decree that the title of Duke Xin had not been succeeded for forty years, and the title was directly removed and abolished!

In the end, Li Dongyang also added another blow, completely cutting off Tang Hao's possibility of attacking the prince!

I admit that what you said makes sense, but this is against the rules!

The patriarchal clan system is in front of us, and no one can even think of destroying it.

Not only did the imperial court refuse to reinstate him, but he also directly deposed him on the pretext that he had not been crowned for forty years. It is difficult to explain clearly what lies behind this.

Originally, Tang Hao didn't care much about this so-called hereditary marquis.

But this is not the life Tang Hao wants, and it is difficult for him to accept it!

How can this approach be convincing?

Now you still want Tang Hao to get this prince, and you want to give the noble military minister a chance to make a comeback. It's absolutely impossible!

This time, the initiative lies with the civil servants and gentry!

Because they adhere to the golden signboard of patriarchal etiquette, they have many reasons and excuses to pin the title on Tang Shaozong!

"Didn't you just say that the rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao is that if there is a direct descendant, there will be no direct descendants!"

The little emperor at that time was less than ten years old, and all major political affairs were handled by San Yang in the cabinet. It was at the time when San Yang Bingzheng was in power.

Of course it exists, and it was given by Emperor Taizu Gao personally!

So the little emperor glared at Li Dongyang with some annoyance, and then looked at Tang Hao.

Hearing Tang Hao's words, the officials present frowned instinctively.

The eldest son and eldest grandson died early, and the eldest great-grandson was ill and could not ascend the throne. Those were just excuses.

The old prince in front of him seemed to be energetic, but in fact he was just a dry, thin old man. The battle with the civil servants and gentry had already smoothed his edges and became sluggish.

There are direct descendants, but there are no direct descendants!

The direct lineage of Lao Tang’s family has never been broken!

Ma Wensheng wanted to say something more, but Tang Hao didn't give him a chance and asked again: "Your Majesty that day, have we, the Tang family, ever violated any laws or etiquette?"

"Since the direct lineage cannot attack the nobility, why can't the concubine attack the nobility?"

It’s best if you have it, it’s not a drag!

Anyway, what he longs for is the happy life of fighting on the battlefield!

But after Tang Hao chatted with him, Tang Hao knew that he had to get this prince!

Because the noble military ministers can’t afford to wait, and neither can the old Duke Zhang Mao!

"I, the Tang family, have made serious achievements and have been doing their jobs honestly. I hold a hereditary certificate but cannot inherit the title. Can you tell me why?"

His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, and even if Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others are not happy, they can only endure it honestly.

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar and began to discuss.

Tang Hao pondered for a moment and then spoke with a smile.

Before Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others could answer, the little emperor waved his hand.

As for Tang Hao, this venomous and arrogant man still wants a title, so just dream!

"Your Majesty, we must not set such a precedent!"

Therefore, no matter how you say it, whether it is a young emperor, a noble military minister, or Tang Hao himself, he must have this worldly title of marquis!

"Since this matter concerns me, I wonder if I can speak?"

When Ma Wensheng was asked this question by Tang Hao, he immediately realized the problem.

Because etiquette and law are the ideological basis for maintaining the stable operation of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also the foundation for the long-term stability of the court.

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

As a result, Zhu Houzhao now had to give the title to Tang Shaozong, which was hard not to make people angry.

"I second the proposal!"

"The Tang family does have a hereditary certificate!"

With the precedents of Wang Ji and Wang Yue there, why can't the person who goes out to fight with the seal be a civil servant?

Civil officials serve as generals and ministers. They can not only manage government affairs, but also lead troops to fight. What do they need you warriors Qiuba?

At least the person who goes out to fight with the seal and the person who finally gets the military merit must not be a noble military minister!

Does Lao Tang's family have a hereditary certificate?

They didn't understand the meaning of Tang Hao's words.

Now, it seems that he, the little emperor, can no longer hold on to Tang Hao's title.

"This is a patriarchal system, and no one can violate it. Otherwise, the country will be uneasy and there will be big trouble!"

When he became the orthodox emperor, Tang and his fourth grandson, Tang Jie, requested to be crowned kings. However, they failed and were deposed directly!

Once some rules are broken, it is really difficult to re-establish them!

"Your Majesty, Taizu has ordered that dukes and princes who are granted meritorious service are like members of the clan. Those who receive the title are also hereditary. If there are direct descendants, there are no direct concubines, and they are given posthumously for three generations. Therefore, if the Tang family wants to restore the title, the title It can only be given to the fifth generation grandson Tang Shaozong. This is the rule of the dynasty! "

Xie Qian said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, although what the Governor said is true, the problem is that the country has its own laws and regulations!"

Military merit is not so easy to obtain. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the title of knight must be for the service of assisting the country or for major military merit.

There are direct concubines, but no direct concubines. The eldest son and the eldest grandson are gone, but there are other concubines and younger sons, but this title has been delayed and not given to them!

When Li Dongyang moved out, Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the little emperor had no choice.

Why can't the Tang family attack the king?

This question is really hard to answer.

Military merit is hard to earn, this is a fact!

If Tang Hao hadn't had this prince, he probably wouldn't have been able to lead the army into battle within ten years, and could only be a close minister next to the little emperor.

Zhang Sheng, Han Wen, Tu Xun, Liu Daxia and other important officials in the court spoke one after another and echoed Xie Qian's words.

"If not, then why do you have the nerve to shout out now!"

Anyway, the banner of etiquette is placed here, but they don't believe that Tang Hao can still say that he is ugly!

"It is true that Emperor Taizu Gao did set the rules back then. Dukes and uncles who are granted meritorious service are like clan members, and those who receive the title are also hereditary. If there is a direct descendant, if there is no direct descendant, it will be given posthumously for three generations!"

Emperor Yongle wouldn't give it, Emperor Hongxi wouldn't give it, and Emperor Xuande wouldn't give it either.

"Then this will be interesting!"

Zhang Mao's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something.

"Do you recognize the rules set by Taizu?"

"but……"

"Never!"

Tang Hao turned his head and looked at Tianguan Ma Wensheng, and asked with a smile: "May I ask Master Tianguan, does my Tang family have a hereditary certificate?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Since you saved me, you should be rewarded based on your merits!"

He cannot blatantly violate Taizu's old system, otherwise he will be "unfilial", which will be an extremely severe political accusation.

Tang Hao looked at the ministers expressionlessly and asked a heart-wrenching question.

Because of Xin Guogong's lineage, he escaped the great purge of noble military officials during the Hongwu period, and hereditary certificates and other things were still well preserved.

Moreover, since Wang Ji, the Minister of War during the Zhengtong period, conquered Luchuan three times and was granted the title of Jingyuan Bo due to his merits, it was the first time in the Ming Dynasty that civilian officials led troops to fight and received titles!

After that, Wang Yue, the first trilateral commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, emerged. He was also a serious military official who was promoted to Jinshi. He led his troops to the fortress three times to capture the Hetao area, and twice went far in the Battle of Hongyanchi and the Battle of Weininghai. He attacked the Tatars and was awarded the title of Wei Ningbo for his military merits.

He is now 70 years old, who knows how long he can last?

Two or three years, or five or six years?

In such a short period of time, it is impossible for the noble military ministers to select one more person from among the nine generals, support him to become a prince or even a prince, and succeed the old Duke Zhang Mao in protecting the noble group!

"As for whether it can be inherited, it depends on whether there is a 'gain certificate', which is a hereditary certificate given by the court. The certificate is made in two copies, one is given to the hero, and the other is kept in the inner palace. If the hero dies, the descendants will inherit it. If you want to seal it, you have to take out the certificate, and then the officials will be responsible for checking the merits and demerits, and decide whether to seal it or remove it, right? "
