The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 87 Exchange of interests! The road is long and difficult!

Sad and ridiculous.

Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh.

Even if the power can be taken back from the Ministry of War, the Five Governments will not dare to take it!

The civil servants and gentry had controlled the government for more than fifty years and held power for more than fifty years. They had already penetrated into every aspect of the Ming court.

If the Ministry of War really hands over the power of military command to the Fifth Prefecture, the Fifth Prefecture can only watch helplessly, not daring to reach out to take it.

Can’t pick it up, can’t pick it up!

The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion has long existed in name only, and there are few manpower available. Once something goes wrong, it will be implicated!

Therefore, Zhang Mao did not dare to accept it, and Zhu Hui even more did not dare to accept it!

Since there are three more warriors in this court meeting, it is destined to not be so peaceful.

Even a fool can see that the little emperor is interested in supporting military generals and suppressing civil servants and gentry, so he will definitely agree to Zhu Hui's request!

In this case, why did the old chief minister still let the young emperor make the decision?

The old chief assistant Liu Jian still refused to let go. There was no such reason and he directly rewarded more than 20,000 military officers and soldiers in one breath!

Upon seeing this, Tang Hao gave him a big gift directly.

Liu Jian's mood suddenly improved and he looked at Tang Hao with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still wanted to know whether this memorial was written by Tang Hao.

Liu Jian took the memorial, opened it and glanced at it for a few times, then immediately closed the memorial and looked at Tang Hao solemnly.

He couldn't understand why Liu Jian suddenly "rebelled"!

"Well, since it is a feat of defying insults, we cannot let the meritorious soldiers feel cold. However, the number of people is indeed too many. Let's reduce it by half and lower the reward!"

"In addition, among the soldiers who participated in the battle, two were promoted to the second level, forty-seven were promoted to the first level, 73 were promoted to the first level, and 635 were rewarded!"

The ministers bid farewell to His Majesty after seeing him. Except for the old chief assistant Liu Jian, Tang Hao also stayed.

Killed forty-two Tatar barbarians and called it the "Great Victory at Helan Mountain"!

Hearing this, Tang Hao couldn't help but laugh, his expression was very sarcastic.

As for Tang Hao, he is not qualified to accept it now!

Unless a large number of outstanding generals and military officers are cultivated, which is enough to allow the five palaces to operate again, all power will be like a moon in the mirror and have no meaning!

Therefore, when Wang Yue successfully defeated the Tatar army, the entire government and the public were filled with joy.

Even if he only killed forty-two barbarians, he didn’t even have three figures!

It's a great victory. It's not a shabby one. As long as the Tatar barbarians are defeated, it's a great victory!

"After the late emperor learned of the victory, he was promoted to the position of Shaobao and Prince Tutor of Wang Yue; Zhang An and Hao Shan had the most military exploits, and were each promoted to one rank; Zhang Xun, Li Jun, Zhu Jin and the generals who led the army, Wu Jiang, were responsible for supervising Zhang Zhenshu, the royal censor of the right capital, and Li Duancheng, who was in charge of food affairs, were both given varying amounts of silver coins."

"Sir Yuanfu, I feel that the salt policy of the country has been corrupted, so I have written such a memorial. I also ask Lord Yuanfu to exercise the right to draft the vote and submit it to your majesty for review!"

Even because of Tang Hao's memorial, the old chief minister directly changed his attitude, and took advantage of the situation and asked the young emperor to directly finalize the request of Zhu Hui, the protector of the country.

After all, this "Helan Mountain Victory" is their own masterpiece!

There was no way around it. From the ninth year to the tenth year of Hongzhi, the young Tatar prince repeatedly led his army to invade the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, causing great disturbance to the three sides of Shaanxi (Yansui, Gansu, and Ningxia).

There was a hint of bitterness at the corner of Tang Hao's mouth. He still has a long way to go!

The road is long and difficult!

Zhu Hui rarely spoke and said in a deep voice: "In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, the Tatar tribe was entrenched in Helan Mountain. The trilateral commander Wang Yue dispatched troops from Ningxia and led 6,000 men to advance in three directions and attack directly. Helan Mountain!”

"There are quite a few people who have interests entangled with Lianghuai salt merchants, especially officials from the Ministry of Revenue!"

Half of the people gave rewards, which was the result of discussions between Tang Hao and the young emperor.

However, the little emperor could not talk to them in detail yet, because he still had to go to class, and the daily lecture time was not over yet.

"Marquis Zhongshan, who made this plan? Such a great talent is enough to rejuvenate the country!"

If you ask for credit for 2,000 soldiers, there is still room for discussion. If you ask for credit for 2,000 soldiers, just go away!

Tang Hao's eyes flashed and he took out a memorial from his arms.

"Master Yuanfu, didn't I say this? This is what I did!"

"In this battle, Wang Shi beheaded a total of forty-two people, captured 241 horses and camels, and thousands of cattle, sheep, and weapons. It is known in history as the "Great Victory at Helan Mountain"!"

Liu Jian stroked his beard and his eyes flashed.

"Master Yuanfu, don't forget, this matter is not that easy to handle!"

The civil servants and gentry looked at each other in disbelief, their faces all red and hot.

Liu Daxia looked at the old chief assistant in disbelief.

"Simple." Tang Hao also smiled, "Why don't we just put all the blame on Ye Qi? Anyway, he colluded with the Lianghuai salt merchants to embezzle national interests, and he will be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"

Forty-two beheadings!

"Marquis Zhongshan, you must not act rashly regarding the salt administration, especially since it is an order from the late Emperor. What do you think I should do?"

Could it be that this memorial of his was... written specifically for Liu Jian?

The salt policy is corrupt!

As soon as Liu Jian finished speaking, he placed Tang Hao's memorial at the bottom of the pile of memorials, bowed his head to the platform and said: "Your Majesty, at the request of Lord Protector Zhu Hui, please make your decision!"

The great victory at Helan Mountain resulted in the beheading of forty-two people, and Emperor Hongzhi rewarded nearly a thousand people in one breath!

When Tang Hao heard this, his face was filled with displeasure.

Tang Hao got angry and said: "If you look at me like this again, be careful I will beat you up!"

"The Marquis of Zhongshan is determined. Let me present this matter to Your Majesty for your decision!"

Hearing this, the little emperor was stunned.

"Tsk, tsk, the Marquis of Zhongshan is really cruel and ruthless!" Liu Jian clucked his tongue in surprise, with a joking smile on his face.

"This is also an ancestral law, and it is a precedent set by the late emperor. Do you dare not agree with it?"

"As for the late emperor, he was bewitched and deceived by Ye Qi. The late emperor is not to blame. Isn't this the specialty of you civil servants and gentry?"

"..."

Liu Jian took the initiative to stand beside Tang Hao and took out the memorial that Tang Hao had just given.

Zhu Hui read out these data slowly, and then smiled and said: "This time I led the troops to fight, a total of eighty-four levels were beheaded, which was exactly twice the number of the Helan Mountain victory. According to the old emperor's reward rules, I will kill more people." Some rewards shouldn’t be too much, right?”

It’s true, it was written by this reckless man!

This is a common question.

There was nothing he could do. The late Emperor's example was in front of him and he had no easy way to refute.

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

And there was a Tatar army entrenched in Helan Mountain. They liked to go south to plunder and harass the border areas when they had nothing to do. The Ming Dynasty was so annoyed by them that they lived in fear all day long.

"I wish I could kill his whole family!"

After all, military generals and nobles cannot treat the little emperor as a fool and just plunder the court's wool when there is nothing wrong!

However, the little emperor was a little strange. What did the savage Tang Hao say in his memorial that made the old chief minister Liu Jian so cautious that he even suppressed the memorial at the bottom and did not show it to others, let alone the court.

You savage wants to talk to me, but you don't need to write a memorial. Why don't you just come to me directly?

"May I ask the Marquis of Zhongshan, what do you think of Ye Qi?"

Liu Jian looked at this guy with suspicion. He had a sinister face and was tall and burly. How could he look like he could write?

"Old guy, what's that look in your eyes?"

Tang Hao was able to taunt people as soon as he opened his mouth. He was so sinister and vicious that he wanted to make people mad and scold them to death!

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, but he didn't hesitate and immediately opened the mouth.

Now that Zhu Hui has made twice as many military exploits, what's wrong with asking you to award ten times the number of soldiers?

Liu Daxia fell silent, and the Grand Sima could not scream now.

It’s a little too evil!

The court meeting continued, but soon ended in a row.

"If you don't try it, how will you know?"

Tang Hao wants to revitalize the military generals, but there is a long way to go!

Liu Jian wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty, but there was also a long road ahead!

The two of them now seem to have the same enemies, which are corrupt officials hidden among the civil servants and gentry!
