The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Usurped the Ming Dynasty!

Do the Zhang family dare?

They are trying to usurp it!

There are only two brothers together!

Counting those distant relatives of the Zhang family and so on, there were less than twenty or thirty people in total.

Thanks to the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao, the queens and concubines were basically from the common people, and there was no influence from relatives. This was to prevent relatives from interfering in politics. For example, in the Han Dynasty, relatives stole the show.

Empress Dowager Zhang's father, Zhang Luan, failed in many exams and was just a failed scholar. What power could he have?

Let alone usurping the throne, the Zhang family does not have any real power in their hands now, and they cannot even enter the court!

So when the little emperor said these words, Queen Mother Zhang finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

It turns out that my son feels threatened!

His mother-in-law is indeed a good mother, but not a good wife, let alone a "mother who respects the world"!

His whole life's reputation was ruined by these two beastly uncles, and even his father was criticized for it!

As soon as he finished speaking, the little emperor turned and left.

In history, isn’t that what those civil servants and gentry did?

At that time, Zhu Qizhen listened to the slander of King Zhen, the eunuch of Quan, and personally went to the Northern Expedition to Wala. As a result, he caused the disaster of Tumu Fort, and even he himself was captured alive by Wala.

Zhu Houzhao's thoughts were seen through, and he suddenly blushed and said angrily: "Don't you feel bad that this matter has been left to you?"

"Three days later, I will send someone to pick you up and escort you back to your hometown in Xingji, Hejian. I will buy you a manor and a mansion so that you can become a rich man with no worries about food and drink!"

He just sighed and left with his hands behind his back.

His reign name is "Jiajing"!

"The Emperor of Ming Dynasty fell into the water and died. How interesting!"

"It is said that Prince Huai Xian... fell into the water?!" Zhu Houzhao replied tentatively.

The little emperor was frightened by Tang Hao's intoxicating laughter, and subconsciously leaned back to stay away from this madman.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was beaten a lot when he was a child, and every time he was beaten, he would cry and come to his mother to complain.

He looked directly at Zhang Zhong, the chief eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and angrily shouted: "There will be a soldier on duty at the palace gate, twenty sticks!"

Naturally, Zhu Qiyu did not abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne. Instead, he directly honored Zhu Qizhen as the Supreme Emperor and placed him under house arrest in Nangong, locking him up for seven years.

"Do you still remember Emperor Jingtai? Then do you know why the coup to seize the door was successful? Didn't the mighty Emperor Ming even have a loyal minister beside him?"

But that "lucky guy" was a great man who was good at disguise. After he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he directly hung up the civil servants and beat them.

The little emperor took a deep breath, walked to Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, and spoke calmly.

Opening the wine jar, Tang Hao took a big sip and started drinking.

At that time, mother and son were connected and their relationship was extremely harmonious.

"Your Majesty Emperor Jingtai, let's put aside the merits and demerits for now. If I talk too much, I will scold you, great grandfather. You must be impatient!"

"Well, that's a silly woman!" Zhu Houzhao nodded.

Tang Hao chuckled and said, "But have you ever thought about it, the emperor had so many concubines, why did Lord Jingtai have only one son? Why did this son die mysteriously after becoming the prince?"

Emperor Jingtai was naturally dissatisfied. He also wanted his son to be the emperor, so he started to make trouble. First, he abolished the empress, then bribed the courtiers, and finally he was able to change the crown prince and make his only son Zhu Jianji the crown prince. However, only one year passed. Time, the prince died in infancy, and Emperor Jingtai had no heirs!

"Are you sad? Do you want to drink to drown your sorrows?"

Soon the emperor and his ministers walked out of Renshou Palace. At the entrance of the palace, the little emperor stopped.

After the throne was stabilized, Emperor Jingtai began to stir up trouble, because the prince Zhu Jianshen was not his son, but the son of Zhu Qizhen. This was a prerequisite for him to be crowned emperor. To put it bluntly, he wanted Zhu Qiyu to be alert at all times. He only exercised imperial power on behalf of the direct lineage of the head of the family, and in the end he had to return the throne to the direct lineage.

In other words, all this was actually the work of the Zhang family, and Queen Xia was just used by them!

Not to mention, there is Queen Mother Zhang behind this!

Who knows if all this is the work of Queen Mother Zhang?

In the end, it was Chen Kuan, the most prestigious eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, who had the courage to speak.

It’s not just terrible!

"Savage, what exactly do you want to say?"

Coupled with these dragon species of Ming princes who died mysteriously and died of illness, it is really interesting!

Then he slowly gave the second person.

Zhu Houzhao was startled when he heard this and froze on the spot.

Until the eighth year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill and could not see the court. Shi Heng, his trusted minister who entrusted him with important tasks, colluded with Xu Youzhen, Queen Mother Sun and others to enter the Nangong Palace and rescue Zhu Qizhen. They took advantage of the situation to support Zhu Qizhen's restoration and change to Yuan Tianshun, which is known in history as " The change of seizing the door!”

In the end, the throne returned to Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Qiyu served as emperor for eight years. He was finally deposed as King Xi and was placed under house arrest in Yong'an Palace in Xinei. He died mysteriously in less than a month at the age of thirty. During the Jingtai Era That’s it!

So, what does Tang Hao mean when he says this now?

"Savage, what do you want to say?"

"The falling into the water you just mentioned is a very good method. Wait until one day you accidentally fall into the water and collapse, then hack me, the Marquis of Zhongshan, to death with a knife, and then choose an honest and obedient lucky grandson from His Majesty Xianzong's side line. If your son ascends the throne and becomes emperor, the Ming Dynasty can still operate normally, do you understand?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at his mother with cold eyes, and scenes of the past emerged in his mind.

Zhu Di frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Savage, come and drink with me!"

Tang Hao didn't move at all when he saw this, but looked at the little emperor jokingly.

"how?"

Didn't you, the Zhengde Emperor, die of illness after falling into the water?

What threat?

Threat to the throne!

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's expression brightened slightly and he understood everything.

"Little emperor, you have to understand that an emperor with heirs and an emperor without heirs are completely different concepts!"

Kunning Palace?

Queen?

After all, the Queen Mother's order is Yizhi, and it has the same status as the imperial edict. Do they dare to violate it?

He also wanted to clink glasses to show his intimacy, but judging from the savage's attitude, he might as well forget it!

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the little emperor was no longer restrained and complained to Tang Hao.

"Think about it for a second. You mother-in-law helped your two uncles indiscriminately. As a result, your two uncles became more and more lawless and did whatever they wanted. You still have to abide by etiquette and cannot deal with those two bastard uncles. Instead, you have to clean them up. Butt, don’t you think this is bad?”

The Zhang brothers stood up in a hurry, not daring to let anyone in the palace take action. They supported each other and limped out of Renshou Palace.

"Little emperor, what you and I are going to do is actually no different from His Majesty Jingtai, and even more serious than him! In the end, it will be disrespecting the etiquette, laws and ancestors, and it will be a thorn in the flesh of the civil servants and gentry. What if Your little emperor suddenly disappeared? Have you considered this issue?"

"You think I'm full and have nothing to do, so I don't care where you sleep at night?"

"If you still dare to do any small tricks and do evil in Hejian, I will never care about the old relationship again. Even if you are accused of being unfilial, I will definitely kill you!"

"In this matter, the Queen is just being taken advantage of. Your Majesty should know her temper best, so you can't be angry with the Queen because of this!"

The little emperor ordered someone to prepare a table of good wine and food, and he couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp.

And Queen Mother Zhang looked at her brother's back and couldn't help but burst into tears.

You really dare to shout!

I'm still not happy about it!

I don’t want to be like Dong Zhuo!

If he were Zhu Houzhao, he would have chopped up these two beasts long ago!

Tang Hao smiled happily after hearing this.

Uncle Qingyang is Xia Ru, and it is a common practice for his relatives to be knighted.

But now that this happened suddenly, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.

Upon seeing this, Tang Hao asked coldly, "Chen Dajue, has anyone come to the palace to see the Queen in recent days?"

"Whoever dares to let these two brothers into the palace again, I will chop off his head!"

After understanding this, Zhu Houzhao became even more irritable.

For example, the circle of founding nobles, the circle of Jingnan nobles, and the circle of relatives basically do not interact with each other.

Tang Hao laughed strangely again.

But in fact, it's not their fault.

Then Yu Qian and others supported Zhu Qiyu, the king of Yin in Beijing, as emperor, won the battle to defend Beijing, defeated the Oara army, and a year later redeemed the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen.

"Why don't you dare?" Tang Hao said quietly, "Have you really investigated the Nanyuan Tiger Case? Or will there be another "Nanyuan Tiger Case"?"

The little emperor was shocked when he saw this, and then silently put down his small bowl.

"To put it more bluntly, as long as you, the little emperor, are gone, then I, Tang Hao, will be like a rootless duckweed and will be chopped into pulp in an instant. Besides you, the late emperor does not have any other heirs, but the late emperor I have many brothers, and uncles like you have many heirs!”

And the Emperor Tianqi, the same is true!

Silently all the way, he went straight into the bedroom.

But his father had high hopes for him. How could he skip school? He had to give a warning.

This time, the inner court made a big mistake.

She no longer dared to seek any benefits for the Zhang brothers, but said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the Ai family realizes their mistake, please spare the lives of these two uncles, okay?"

In the same way, "Heaven must be unified to be pure." The name of the emperor's palace, Qianqing Palace, comes from the Tao Te Ching.

Qingyang Boxiaru and Shouning Hou Zhang Heling were both in the circle of relatives, and it was normal for them to marry each other and strengthen their contacts.

"Marquis Tang reminds me that yesterday the three daughters of Uncle Qingyang entered the palace and had a long talk with the Queen and his wife!"

The little emperor said these words with gritted teeth, even resolutely!

So after hearing this, the Zhang brothers, no matter how reluctant they were, could only kowtow in a hurry to express gratitude!

"Get out!" Zhu Houzhao yelled angrily.

"Savage, you are being too lenient!"

But after becoming the emperor, Zhu Houzhao finally understood.

Why is this happening?

Zhu Houzhao looked at the crying mother and wanted to say something, but in the end he still did not speak.

Emperor Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao fell into the water in Qingjiangpu, and his health deteriorated from then on, and he died half a year later!

Because the funds were tight when organizing this wedding, everything was simple, so Zhu Houzhao always felt guilty towards Queen Xia. In addition, Queen Xia had a quiet and indifferent temperament. She was very quiet on weekdays, did not fight for land, and was affectionate. Therefore, the emperor The relationship was still very harmonious in the end.

"Emperor Jingtai has actually been separated from his ministers for a long time because he broke his original oath and wanted to establish a prince instead of deposing his queen. In the eyes of the ministers, he is a treacherous minister who ignores the etiquette, law and patriarchal system and is greedy for the power and throne. ah!"

The eldest daughter of Xia Ru was Queen Xia, the second daughter married Wei Guogong Xu Pengju, and the third daughter married Zhang Zongshuo, the son of Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards!

These honorable relatives of the Ming Dynasty each have their own circles.

As soon as these words came out, there was a bit of chill in the hall.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time that you and I, the monarch and your ministers, have had a good time over wine!"

"Your Majesty, this is... an order from Kunning Palace!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly covered his mouth with a look of horror on his face.

"What do the civil servants and gentry want? The right to speak in the court! They want the emperor to rule from the top, they want to be in charge of all military and political power, and they want the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats to rule the world together! Instead of someone like you who keeps suppressing them and taking them back The unruly emperor with power in his hands!"

After hearing this, the little emperor sneered and said: "You talk nonsense, if I can't even believe you, then you are a real loner!"

Tang Hao coughed slightly and pretended not to hear it at all.

The emperor is heaven, the queen is earth, the emperor is Qian, and the queen is Kun.

What Tang Hao was talking about at this moment was actually a scandal within the Ming Dynasty palace.

"You even care about which palace I sleep in. You are not my father..."

Because Emperor Ming is easily soluble in water!

"Next time, the two of them will definitely die!"

When he was a child, because he was too smart, he was inevitably naughty and mischievous. He even disliked the lectures given by those sour men and rotten scholars. It was common for him to be caught playing truant.

Zhu Houzhao looked at them coldly and asked only one question.

"Too bad!" Tang Hao answered in the affirmative.

"Savage, tell me, who can I trust now?"

Therefore, the root of the problem does not lie with his mother, but with these two uncles!

Tang Hao fell one step behind again and spoke as if there was no one around.

"The Queen Mother, this is the last time!"

As soon as these words came out, the little emperor suddenly became unhappy.

The queen is also the only one in the world. The queen's palace is named Kunning Palace because it is taken from the sentence "Kun is at peace" in the Tao Te Ching.

Why did Queen Xia, who had a dignified and elegant temperament, suddenly become involved in such nosy matters?

Queen Xia is the daughter of Xia Ru, and Xia Ru's lineage is actually a queen of meritorious service. Her great-great-grandfather Xia Yanguang was one of the people who fought tooth and nail to protect Emperor Yingzong during the Civil War, and he can be regarded as an out-and-out heroic queen.

The protagonists are the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu and the orthodox Emperor Zhu Qizhen, two brothers who love and kill each other.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly sat up straight, gritted his teeth and shouted: "You mean, they dare to attack me?"

As soon as these words came out, all the eunuchs looked at each other.

Tang Hao suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "Furthermore, Emperor Jingtai only had one son, and then his son died. The emperor had no heirs, and people's hearts began to stir, and then a plot to seize the throne was hatched! "

Tang Hao pointed to his nose.

After saying these two words, Tang Hao also raised his feet and followed, leaving Queen Mother Zhang alone to grieve.

What's more, the Queen's decree did not need to go through the Supervisor of Ceremonies, nor did it need to go through the cabinet, it was issued directly!

By the time Chen Kuan learned the news, the Zhang brothers had already entered the palace, and it was too late for them to stop him!

In addition, the little emperor had been discussing matters with Tang Hou. Chen Kuan wanted to speak several times but held it back, which eventually caused this farce!

Now the little emperor is in a bad mood, and even the eunuchs in the inner court will suffer misfortune, so now we can only hope that the favored Marquis Tang can enlighten the little emperor!

Tang Hao glared at Chen Kuan angrily, and then quickly followed him.

Even his mother is selfish and doesn't stand by his own son. Who can Zhu Houzhao trust now?

"First one, me!"

"Falling into the water?" Tang Hao suddenly laughed, and his smile was very weird, "Falling into the water is good!"

"Who let the Zhang brothers enter the palace?"

"Second, the Queen!"

"You and I, the monarch and my ministers, are now one, and we have the same goal, which is to revive the Ming Dynasty, so you can absolutely trust me!"

This marriage was actually arranged by his mother. Thinking of this, the little emperor even sneered.

"In three days, sell all your property and send off all your servants!"

"In fact, Your Majesty still needs to seize the time to spread the flowers. It is best to stay in Kunning Palace every night and give birth to a prince. This is the most appropriate arrangement."

Chen Kuan hurriedly winked at Tang Hao and motioned for Tang Hao to follow him and persuade him.

After a while, Chen Kuan, Zhang Yong, Liu Jin, Zhang Zhong, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and other eunuchs and eunuchs all rushed over and knelt on the ground in fear.

But Zhu Houzhao was trembling with fear at this moment.

Is this regicide?

Do they really dare to do this?
