Chapter 118 Horse Tramples Sima Mansion! I Want Something!

Sima Mansion.

Liu Daxia's residence.

Minister of the Ministry of War, respectfully called Da Sima.

Therefore, his mansion is also called Sima Mansion.

It is strange to say that Liu Daxia was a close and trusted minister of the late emperor, but even until the late emperor Bintian, he never gave this close minister a title, and none of the three princes and three orphans were rewarded.

Ma Wensheng, the Heavenly Official, was awarded the title of Guanglu Doctor and Zhuguo as early as the tenth year of Hongzhi. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, he was awarded the title of Young Master and Crown Prince Taifu.

Therefore, Lord Tianguan's residence is generally respectfully called "Shaofu's Mansion".

Another example is Li Dongyang, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, he was awarded the title of Prince Shaobao, Minister of Rites, and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, when the new emperor came to the throne, he was granted the title of Shaofu and Zhu Guoyong as the crown prince and Taifu.

Therefore, Li Dongyang's residence is generally known as the "Grand Scholar's Mansion".

Only this "Sima Mansion" has a somewhat unfair name.

After all, being the Minister of the Ministry of War is just an official position, not a title or an official rank. Sooner or later, Liu Daxia will become an official, such as now.

After experiencing the little emperor's crazy hints and coercion, Liu Daxia had no choice but to resign and become an official. Until this moment, he was still in a daze.

He stumbled back to his mansion. With the support of the old housekeeper, he walked into his study and locked himself in it.

Until now, Liu Daxia still hasn't figured out why His Majesty the Emperor has such a big prejudice against him, or even... hostility?

Township party? !

It is true that he, Liu Daxia, has a close relationship with Li Dongyang.

They are not only fellow villagers, but also classmates. After entering the court, they become colleagues, so the relationship will naturally become closer.

However, this is far from reaching the point of "forming a party for personal gain"!

Liu Daxia has never committed any corruption or bribery since he has been an official. He has even warned his descendants many times that they must not use Liu Daxia's power to do evil, otherwise they will not be lenient!

To this day, Liu Daxia's mansion is just a house with three entrances and three exits. It is much shabbier than the manors of wealthy families. There are no maids or servants in the house, only some old servants.

Therefore, Liu Daxia didn't understand and couldn't figure out what he had done wrong?

After a lifetime of hard work for the country and a lifetime of integrity, why did he end up like this?

He was forced to resign and become an official, and was not allowed to leave the capital and return home. The little emperor refused to give him even the last dignity of his elders and important ministers!

Why is this happening?

Why is this so!

Liu Daxia was filled with sorrow and had nowhere to vent, so he could only feel sad.

But soon, it was too late for him to grieve.

Because at this moment Tang Ritian has led his troops to Sima Mansion.

This time, Tang Hao only brought eight thousand soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion.

Today, the strength of the New Army has once again returned to 50,000, thanks to Guo Xun, who is in charge of the regiment and battalion, who has continuously poached people from the army from various places.

There were six battalions of the New Army, with each battalion having 8,000 soldiers, and the other 2,000 soldiers became the personal bodyguards of Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan.

In other words, Tang Hao has brought out an army of ten thousand at this moment!

There is only one purpose, to surround Sima Mansion!

Tang Mu couldn't help but whispered: "Brother Hao, the movement is a bit loud!"

"If His Majesty the Emperor does not endorse it, then we will be deploying troops privately and will be regarded as treason and rebellion!"

No wonder Tang Mu was frightened, this move was really too shocking!

The new army of Dongguanting sent troops out of disagreement, and even surrounded the residence of Liu Daxia, the former Minister of War and the patriarch of the Four Dynasties!

This is no longer simply making trouble, but has completely broken the sky!

Military power has been an extremely sensitive thing since ancient times.

The Ming Dynasty was no exception, forming an extremely cumbersome troop deployment process.

Before the Tumu Disaster, the imperial court mobilized troops according to normal procedures. When the emperor issued an imperial edict, the inner court official took the imperial edict and the troop deployment fire sign and other tokens to the Ministry of War. After the Ministry of War confirmed that it was correct, the logistics, troops and horses were prepared according to the edict and handed over to the Fifth Army. A certain governor in the governor's office will once again confirm that there are no problems and then lead the troops to fight. After the war, the inner court, the Ministry of War, and the five governors will verify the troops and the results of the battle.

After the Tumu Disaster, the Ministry of War was in charge of the power to command and mobilize troops. The five government offices were in name only and could not intervene, so they were kicked out of this procedure. It was simplified to the emperor issuing an order to the cabinet and the Ministry of War taking the order to order people to lead the troops into battle. Later, he returned to Beijing to submit the decree, which turned into negotiations between the inner court and the Ministry of War.

But no matter what, if you want to mobilize troops, you will definitely not be able to bypass the Ministry of War!

But now, Tang Hao suddenly mobilized 10,000 troops to surround the Sima Mansion, but he had neither the emperor's imperial edict nor the troops dispatch card from the Ministry of War!

In other words, if the emperor did not come forward to protect them and the Ministry of War took the opportunity to attack them, then they would really be complicit in treason by deploying troops without permission!

Tang Hao glanced at him coldly, then chuckled: "Don't worry, someone will endorse it for us!"

"Now, the deputy general of Hubao Camp, together with the soldiers of Hubao Camp, has surrounded the Sima Mansion in front of me. No one is allowed to enter or exit!"

When Tang Mu heard this, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to shoot!

He didn't understand why Tang Hao suddenly went crazy and insisted on killing Liu Daxia. But now, the Tang family has long been bound to Tang Hao, so he can only act according to the order!

"Where is Haw Par Camp?"

"Tiger!"

"Surround the Sima Mansion, no one is allowed in or out!"

Eight thousand soldiers acted quickly and surrounded the house, which had three entrances and three exits.

Tang Hao himself rode forward, crossed the stairs, and looked at the mansion coldly.

"Yumu, remember my words!"

"No one is allowed in or out, no one!"

"Even if the Imperial Army comes, you will find a way to stop me. Do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Mu was dumbfounded and wanted to ask what was going on, but Tang Hao had already picked up the horse's reins and knocked open the door!

The war horse under Tang Hao's crotch is a good horse carefully selected for him by the old Duke Zhang Mao. It has been trained for a long time and is quite popular.

As Tang Hao lifted the reins, the horse "Herod" made a long neigh, raised its front hooves high, and then kicked the door violently!

There was a loud "bang" and the door was forced open!

Seeing this scene, Tang Mu originally wanted to say something, but now he suppressed it all.

Okay, now it’s better, Tang Ritian is going crazy!

Seeing that the other soldiers were still cheering for his Marquis's horse to trample the Sima Mansion, Tang Mu suddenly cursed angrily.

"How about you call me uncle?"

"Hurry up and close the door and pretend nothing happened!"

All the soldiers looked at each other, and then someone carefully asked everyone's doubts.

"General, then the Marquis will go in alone..."

"Do you believe that he can kill everyone inside?" Tang Mu roared angrily: "Hurry up and close the door! Be careful, he is eager to kill, and he will come out and kill us together!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shuddered immediately, and recalling the horrific scene of Tang Hao torturing Zhang Lan that day, they all trembled with fear.

Several soldiers stepped forward, pulled the door back, and even added a few locks to it!

Tomu: "???"

you?

It's too much!

at the same time.

Liu Daxia, who was grieving in the study, suddenly heard a loud noise. He couldn't care less about his sorrow and hurriedly walked out of the study to see what was going on.

As a result, when he came to the front hall, he saw a man riding a tall horse in the courtyard, confronting the servants in the mansion.

"Tang Hao!"

Liu Daxia gritted his teeth and shouted out the name.

"Oh, the real master is here!"

Tang Hao chuckled, then got off his horse and walked straight towards Liu Daxia.

The servants of the Liu Mansion still wanted to stop him, but as expected, they were knocked to the ground one by one by Tang Hao's punches. They either fainted on the spot or wailed in pain and never dared to get up again.

Looking at the mad Tang Ritian, Liu Daxia also showed a trace of panic on his face.

"Tang Hao!"

"Do you have to kill them all?"

"I've already retired, and you still want to knock on my door?!"

Killing them all is not what a gentleman would do, and it breaks the unspoken rules of the court.

There have always been a lot of overt and covert fights in the court, but everyone is within certain rules.

For example, the harm is not harmful to the wife and children, and the crime is not harmful to the family.

After all, everyone has wives, children, and children. If you win today, you will kill someone and harm other people's wives, children, and children. Then when you lose, don't expect your whole family to end well!

The current court, to put it bluntly, is a court of civil servants and gentry. The methods may be dirty, but these bottom lines will not be touched.

We are all people with status and status, so we have to take care of our face, maintain our dignity, and leave a way out for ourselves.

So when Liu Daxia saw Tang Hao knocking on the door, he immediately became surprisingly furious!

This Marquis of Zhongshan really doesn’t follow any rules!

How can you be so aggressive!

I have already retired from office!

Tang Hao glanced at the fierce-looking Liu Daxia, walked straight into the front hall and sat down, then picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea, tasting it carefully.

"Da Sima, this tea is good!"

Liu Daxia followed in and immediately sneered when he heard this.

"You are a vulgar martial artist, but you also know how to drink tea?"

"Oh!" Tang Hao overturned the desk, frightened Liu Daxia and stood up instantly, trembling all over.

"If you want to talk, let's have a good chat!" Tang Hao continued to sip his tea, "I have a bad temper. If you continue to act weird, I won't be able to control my temper, and I will really kill someone!"

Liu Daxia swallowed when he heard this, forced himself to endure the fear in his heart, and sat back slowly.

This is a lunatic!

This Zhongshan Hou is definitely a madman!

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Liu Daxia calmed down and thought about it seriously.

Tang Hao's attitude clearly meant that he wanted to have a good chat with him.

So...what to talk about?

Now that I have become an official and have no power, what else can the other party covet?

etc!

Could it be that...

Liu Daxia's expression suddenly changed and he spoke righteously.

"Marquis Zhongshan, if you came here today to force me to give you perjury and falsely accuse Scholar Li, then please go back!"

Yes, this is the only possibility Liu Daxia can think of!

The reason why Tang Hao came to the door was because he wanted Liu Daxia to turn against him and overthrow Li Dongyang, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion!

However, Liu Daxia is not stupid. Of course he knows that he must not do this, neither in public nor in private!

Once he does this, regardless of whether Li Dongyang dies or not, Liu Daxia's entire reputation will be ruined, and he will not be tolerated by scholars. There will be no place for him in the world!

Why didn't Tang Hao dare to touch Li Dongyang?

Why didn’t the little emperor dare to touch Li Dongyang?

Why did Li Dongyang dare to resist the pressure of the little emperor and refuse to resign?

Because this bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion now represents Shilin!

It has been so many years since Li Dongyang has been in the cabinet, and the Chaling School of Poetry has also flourished for so many years. He has made friends with countless famous Confucian scholars, and countless famous Confucian scholars and celebrities have interacted with him!

Otherwise, why would Li Dongyang start this "Chaling" school of poetry?

In addition, Li Dongyang is also in charge of the Hanlin Academy, the center of the scholarly community!

Emperor Taizu Gao treated officials very harshly, but he treated scholars very favorably. He established a complete system for the admission of scholars from rural societies to county schools to prefectural schools and even the Central Imperial College.

As the highest institution for scholars, the Hanlin Academy has been a place for scholars and nobles to raise their hopes since its inception. To put it more bluntly, the Hanlin Academy is the reserve army for civil servants and gentry.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty selected scholars through the imperial examination. All the scholars and talents who passed the government examination, provincial examination, joint examination, and palace examination were all people who studied hard for ten years and were rich in economics. They had sufficient mental perseverance, but the biggest The disadvantage is that I have never really participated in political affairs.

Therefore, there is the Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Academy is the place where these new scholars study politics and cultivate their abilities and reputation. These Hanlin Academy in the Hanlin Academy have also become the mainstream candidates for the gentry in the court.

Later, Emperor Taizongwen established a cabinet and selected outstanding people from the Hanlin Academy to join the direct cabinet to participate in military affairs. This not only reduced the emperor's pressure, but also trained the Hanlin's ability to participate in government affairs and laid a solid foundation for accumulating experience in governing the government in the future.

Therefore, the tradition of the cabinet is that cabinet ministers come from the Imperial Academy.

Therefore, the Hanlin Academy is very important to the civil servants and gentry!

In the official system of the Ming Dynasty, one official could not serve twice, and one official could not be in charge of two yamen at the same time.

But Li Dongyang was different. After he became an official, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy all his life. Therefore, even if he entered the cabinet, he always served as a Hanlin bachelor and was in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy.

Xie Qian, a bachelor of Dongge who entered the cabinet at the same time as Li Dongyang, also had the title of Hanlin bachelor.

However, in terms of prestige, qualifications, and political achievements, Xie Qian, a bachelor of Dongge, was far from being comparable to Li Dongyang, a bachelor of Wenyuange.

Therefore, the answer is self-evident as to who the noble gentlemen in the Hanlin Academy will buy into!

Li Dongyang now represents Shilin!

It is precisely because of this that even Liu Daxia did not dare to offend this good friend.

Therefore, facing Tang Hao at this moment, his attitude was very firm.

"Hou Zhongshan!"

"Even if I get hit head-on and die, I will never give you false testimony. Let's give up this idea as soon as possible!"

Tang Hao looked at Liu Daxia with a strange expression, but finally couldn't hold it back and spoke.

"No, are you sick?"

"When did I ask you to give perjury?"

Liu Daxia was startled when he heard this and froze on the spot.

"Besides, can those scandals between you and Li Dongyang be called perjury?"

"What did you do to yourself? Don't you have any clues in your heart?"

Liu Daxia's face suddenly darkened and he glared at Tang Hao fiercely.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Is it possible that you came here today just to humiliate me?"

"You think too highly of yourself!" Tang Hao sneered: "I am so full that I will come here to humiliate you!"

"Tang Hao, don't bully others too much!"

"What? Come here and bite me!"

For Liu Daxia, Tang Hao didn't even have a good impression of him!

If he hadn't considered that killing the opponent would cause trouble, he would have raised his fists and sent the old guy to his death.

"I am here today, and I only want one thing!"

"Oh, if you want my life, why don't you just do it? Why do you have to be so pretentious, it's disgusting!"

Liu Daxia sneered, seemingly disregarding life and death.

Tang Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then he was so angry that he cursed and said angrily: "You are really sick, aren't you? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death now!"

Hearing this, Liu Daxia was stunned.

Don't you want your own life?

So what else does this Marquis of Zhongshan want?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind, and finally the memory that had been sealed for a long time was finally opened.

"Do you want to..."

"That's right!"

Tang Hao's picture shows a poor view.

"I want Zheng He's chart!"

Today's second update, Zheng He's chart, is Tang Hao's purpose, something that can change the Ming Dynasty. Readers and friends, please vote and subscribe. Thank you very much!
