The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Zhang Mao took out a memorial.

He handed it directly to Chen Kuan, the chief eunuch in charge of the ceremony.

"Speaking of which, there's really no need to worry about the title of the Tang family."

"This is a memorial written by Tang Shaozong a few days ago, and I asked me to forward it to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Three days ago, when he was riding a horse for a safari in Nanjing, he accidentally fell off the horse and broke his leg. Therefore, it was difficult for him to inherit the title. I request your majesty to choose a virtuous man to be the Marquis of Gaozu after the Lao Tang family is full of heroes and founding fathers, to show the majesty of heaven. kindness!"

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

Is it really okay for you to do this?

"My eldest brother, Zhang Zhong, is my late father's eldest son. He also broke his leg and became disabled, so he cannot inherit the title."

Whether you are truly virtuous or not is actually not that important.

Therefore, whether it is virtuous or filial, it is actually a name used to help others enter the officialdom and rise to the top.

At this juncture?

Tang Shaozong, broke his leg?

Tang Shaozong was "forced to break his leg" and had lost the qualification to inherit the Tang family title!

Before the old chief assistant Liu Jian could speak, the old Duke Zhang Mao replied with a smile.

Master Yuanfu let out a long sigh.

This old prince did everything he could to help Tang Hao win the title!

Even Tang Hao himself did not expect that the Xungui Group would be so ruthless as to directly break someone's leg to clear the way for Tang Hao to inherit the throne!

Is this really good?

The little emperor was very happy.

"In that case, what else is there to say?"

Hearing this, Tang Hao and the little emperor looked at each other and were both amused by Li Dongyang.

What a great determination!

These favors are a bit heavy!

Even if there is an exchange of interests between the two parties, it is hard not to be moved by the fact that they made such a big sacrifice.

"Under such circumstances, Master Jingtai was so wise and powerful that he ordered the eldest son of the common man, the old minister, to inherit the British Dukedom. This is also a precedent."

"This is the situation in Lao Chen's house."

Any fool knows what they are.

Those who are recommended may not all be virtuous, but they must all have people and connections behind them.

The old chief assistant Liu Jian took a deep breath and realized the seriousness of the problem for the first time.

"And Zhang Jie, the only son of elder brother Lao Chen, is the son of a maid, so he is not a legitimate eldest son. Moreover, it is said that I don't even know if he is the biological son of elder brother Lao Chen, so he cannot take the title!"

However, Tang Shaozong dared to do this, which only proved that his leg was broken!

Whether it was broken by falling off a horse during a riding safari, or being broken abruptly by someone, at least Tang Shaozong had to break his leg, otherwise he would be an out-and-out bully!

Everyone is well aware of the old Zhang family's troubles and why Zhang Mao ascended the throne. However, due to Zhang Mao's noble status, no one has dared to say anything about it.

"Yuanfu, I remember that there was a clause in Taizu's old system that hereditary titles based on military merit can only be passed on to healthy heirs, right?"

Is it really such a coincidence?

The word "virtuous" has always been interesting.

All the civil servants looked at each other, realizing for the first time the difficulty of the problem.

Although the little emperor did not have much authority, since he had opened the mouth of Chrysostom and personally admitted that Tang Hao was a virtuous man, this reputation as a virtuous man was completely confirmed.

But everyone present was frightened when they heard it, and even had chills running down their spines!

It turns out that the patriarchal clan system is a set of rules and systems, and it is also a sharp blade that can cut off Tang Hao's attack on the prince!

But now, because of Zhang Mao's ruthlessness, this sharp blade has turned its direction and is aimed at them, the civil servants and gentry!

Yes, you said it yourself, there are direct descendants, but there are no direct descendants!

"Your Majesty is wise, but this title needs to be discussed carefully!"

Why, do you still dare to question His Majesty the Emperor's decision?

This is disrespectful. How many heads do you have that you can chop off?

At this point, Tang Hao's attack on the king has become a foregone conclusion, and no one can stop it!

Because all of this is done in accordance with the rules and is reasonable and legal!

Tang Hao didn't look happy at all, but felt very unhappy in his heart.

Now that Tang Shaozong was "forced to break his leg" and lost his right to inherit, then Tang Jie was equivalent to having no heir. The title would have to be inherited by "virtuous" people from the collateral lineage!

So who is this so-called "virtuous"?

It can only be Tang Hao!

It will only be Tang Hao!

Because this reckless man Tang Hao made a great contribution to the rescue!

There is no greater merit than rescuing the driver!

Even the etiquette and etiquette of the direct descendant cannot restrain Tang Hao from attacking the prince, so what reason do you have to stop him here?

The little emperor is watching from the platform. It is impossible to fool him easily!

The old chief assistant Liu Jian took a deep look at Zhang Mao. He did not expect that the noble military minister was so determined, one set after another, one link after another!

Even if we have to destroy Tang Shaozong, we must support Tang Hao to ascend to power!

This Tang Hao is an "outsider" after all!

Hiss...what a cruel method!

In order to help Tang Hao win this title, these noble military ministers paid a huge price!

The distinguished British Duke Zhang Mao, in order to help Tang Hao seize the title, did not hesitate to expose his family and even lose his old face!

Not only did he break Tang Shaozong's good leg, but he also exposed his family in public, setting a precedent for Tang Hao to attack Jue!

As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public!

You are such a good person, your legs are broken just like that.

"In the imperial edict written by Emperor Taizu Gao to the Duke of Dongou, it only said, "Eating a salary of three thousand dan will forever be a source of wealth for your descendants." It was not like the imperial edict of the Marquis of Zhongshan that explicitly stated " "It is to use Jia Jue Lu so that your descendants can inherit it from generation to generation." Taizu Emperor Gao did not say that the princes and grandsons of Dongou could succeed the Duke of Xin State!"

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more. We can only use practical actions in the future to repay their efforts today!

"Then let's settle it like this. I am deeply impressed by Tang Hao's contribution to the rescue. He must be the virtuous man of the Tang family, and the title of the Tang family must be his!"

When Zhang Mao said these words, his face was filled with smiles.

"Aren't you guys shouting that you must follow the rules and abide by the laws established by our ancestors?"

Seeing that the ministers were silent, the old Duke Zhang Mao simply added fuel to the fire.

Tang Shaozong's broken leg was none of his business. If only he died, Tang Hao would be able to take over this prince of the world!

However, it is okay to break the leg, because Tang Shaozong has lost the right to inherit the title.

And there is someone behind Tang Hao now, a Ming Emperor with limited authority!

"Absurd!" Li Dongyang couldn't help it, "Isn't the Governor's appetite too big?"

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions.

But now, Zhang Mao took the initiative to speak, not wanting his old face at all.

This is exactly the point!

This is also the place where the expressions of all the civil servants and gentry all changed!

"Your Majesty is wise."

"There are direct descendants, but there are no direct descendants. The British precedent is also set here. This is also the law established by our ancestors and something approved by Master Jingtai!"

"but……"

"The Tang family is a hereditary duke and has never made any mistakes. We can't just become a prince..."

Everyone present is a smart old fox. Who would believe such a coincidence?

Liu Jian still wanted to struggle, but the little emperor was not prepared to give him this chance.

But if someone wants you to be virtuous, then you are virtuous!

For example, the Western Han Dynasty promoted filial piety and honesty. Are all those recommended for officialdom virtuous?

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Now that Tang Shaozong has broken his leg, he has lost the right to inherit the title!"

The legitimate eldest son of the fifth generation, in order to help him Tang Hao seize the title, he did not hesitate to break a leg!

"Your Majesty, there is indeed this rule, because those who are knighted for military merit are all outstanding ministers and heroes, so their heirs and heirs must not be disabled and lose the remnants of their ancestors!"

To say that these literary techniques are the specialty of civil servants and gentry!

And the facts also prove that this Li Dongyang is indeed not a human being!
