The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 320 Attacking the Pacification Division

Tang Mu led the Beijing army to directly blockade the Northern Pacification Office.

At this moment, Mou Bin was interrogating Zhu Chenhao, the arrogant and domineering Prince Ning.

Due to Mou Bin's damn sense of justice, he had no good feelings towards Zhu Chenhao at all, and all kinds of tortures by the Jinyiwei fell on this rebel king.

In addition to Zhu Chenhao, there was also his trusted adviser Liu Yangzheng.

As a result, things took a very interesting turn.

That is, after repeated interrogations, the Jinyiwei did not get any useful clues, but instead learned a large amount of evidence of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's conspiracy to rebel.

After all, Liu Yangzheng was just an opportunist. The reason why he chose to join Zhu Chenhao and give him advice was that he wanted to take a chance and become a loyal minister, leaving endless wealth and glory for his descendants. As for loyalty, that did not exist at all.

In addition, Liu Yangzheng also thought very clearly that this time they were clearly being plotted against.

The mastermind behind this incident used the Ning Wang Mansion caravan to help the Japanese killers sneak into the capital, and then deliberately exposed this to the Jinyiwei. As long as the Jinyiwei followed this clue, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao would definitely die.

Just like now, the Jinyiwei just wanted to catch the mastermind behind the murder of Zhongshan Marquis as soon as possible, but they ended up tracing back to the fact that Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was secretly trying to rebel!

If the Embroidered Uniform Guard knows about it, then His Majesty will also know about it. What can Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao do then?
Certain death!

Liu Yangzheng and his followers will have their property confiscated and their families exterminated!
This royal family prince is plotting treason, the culprit must be put to death, and all his descendants will be killed. The court may only leave some bloodlines for the Ning clan, and the rest of the collateral branches that were not involved can survive.

However, people from other families like Liu Yangzheng who helped the royal family and princes to rebel would definitely have their property confiscated and their clans exterminated.

In other words, because of this sudden assassination, Liu Yangzheng's entire future was ruined. In order to protect his family, he had no choice but to turn against the Jinyiwei on the spot and become a tainted witness to expose the various acts of rebellion by Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

By doing this, he will still die in the end, but at least he can save his family.

However, this made Jinyiwei commander Mou Bin dumbfounded.

Well, I wanted to catch the mastermind behind the murder of Lord Tang but I failed, but I caught a rebel king who is known to everyone?

What the hell is this?
Mou Bin tortured Zhu Chenhao madly with a whip, asking questions while beating him.

"Who is your enemy?"

Zhu Chenhao was covered in blood, not a single piece of good flesh was left.

He also knew that he was really in trouble this time and had fallen completely into the trap of others.

The mastermind behind the scenes took the opportunity to get rid of Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao and successfully angered the Emperor. Then he used the Ning Wang Mansion caravan to successfully drag him, the Ning Wang, into the water. All his acts of treason fell into the eyes of the Jinyiwei, and he was doomed to die!
But Zhu Chenhao was unwilling to give in, or in other words, even if he had made up his mind to die, he had to kill the mastermind behind the scenes!
"Yang Tinghe!"

Zhu Chenhao roared angrily.

"It's definitely Yang Ting and this beast!"

"He eliminated the Marquis of Zhongshan, and the rise of military generals and nobles was interrupted!"

“He also wants to take advantage of the situation to get rid of me so that the civil officials and gentry can continue to control the government!”

Hearing Zhu Chenhao's heart-wrenching roar, Mou Bin's face became gloomy for a moment.

Judging from the current situation, the biggest beneficiary is indeed Yang Tinghe, who is indeed a civil official.

Because of the death of Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, the military generals and nobles once again lost their backbone and became a loose sand. It is still unknown whether they can continue to rise.

In addition, all the rebellious acts of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao were exposed. Even His Majesty the Emperor could not tolerate it any longer and had to eliminate Ning Wang's followers in advance. In this way, the civil officials and gentry had an excuse to continue attacking the royal family and princes.

The policy of restricting vassal states formulated by Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen has been implemented very well. However, you, the Emperor Zhengde, insisted on lifting the restriction. How long has it been now, and the head of the vassal kings selected by you, Zhu Houzhao, is secretly trying to rebel. What else can this prove?
We must never allow royal family princes to take power!
In this case, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will have no choice but to purge the royal family forces in the court!

Of the three major forces in the court, the power of the royal family has been eliminated, military generals and nobles have not yet risen, and civil officials and gentry can still control the government!

So no matter what, Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, is indeed highly suspicious!

"It's Yang Tinghe!"

"He has long seen through my rebellious actions!"

"This is his evil plan to kill two birds with one stone. The civil officials and gentry want to control the government again!"

Zhu Chenhao was still roaring. Even if he died, he would drag Yang Tinghe and this bastard to be buried with him!

In the eyes of His Royal Highness Prince Ning, the mastermind behind all this is only Yang Tinghe!
Mou Bin pondered for a moment, then called his confidants to go to the Zhongshan Marquis' Mansion to report to the Emperor.

No matter what, Yang Tinghe was the emperor's teacher after all. Even if he was highly suspicious, the Jinyiwei would not dare to arrest him rashly without the emperor's approval.

"Zhu Chenhao, ah Zhu Chenhao!"

"You damn fool, why don't you just be a vassal king?"

"He insisted on raising assassins, eliminating dissidents, and plotting rebellion... Even Lord Tang lost his life because of this!"

Having said this, Mou Bin was extremely sad and angry.

He had a very good personal relationship with Tang Hao, and he also had great respect for the Marquis of Zhongshan, who was devoted to the country.

As a result, such a loyal and virtuous minister died tragically in the conspiracy of these villains. Thinking of this, Mou Bin increased the strength in his hands, beating Zhu Chenhao so hard that he screamed and wailed.

However, at this moment, the trusted captain rushed in in panic.

"grown ups!"

"All the soldiers of the Beijing Army have mutinied!"

"They surrounded the Zhenfusi Yamen and demanded all the perpetrators and clues tracked down by the Jinyiwei!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mou Bin's face changed instantly and he grabbed his confidant's neck.

"What did you say?"

"The Beijing Army mutinied?!" "Damn it! What do they want to do?"

Mou Bin only felt his hands and feet were cold, and his whole body was chilled.

You know, the capital's army has maintained a quota of 50,000 soldiers since the reform by Marquis Zhongshan, and they are all elite soldiers who train every day to improve their combat effectiveness. Any battalion can massacre the entire capital!

Fifty thousand Beijing troops mutinied collectively!
If any unexpected event occurs, then the Ming Dynasty... will be completely finished!
Without having time to think, Mou Bin smashed the whip in Zhu Chenhao's face, cursed angrily, and rushed out to check the situation.

"Zhu Chenhao!"

"You will become the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Zhu Chenhao trembled and his eyes were filled with panic.

Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao was assassinated, and 50,000 Beijing troops mutinied!

This is a terrifying force that is enough to subvert the capital!
But only Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao can take charge!
So what to do now?
How should the royal family respond?
Is it really possible that he will die because of this?

It is true that Zhu Chenhao wanted to rebel, but he was also a descendant of the Zhu family.

He didn't want to see the empire that Taizu had fought so hard for fall into the hands of outsiders.

However, the big mistake has been made, and the Beijing army soldiers have already mutinied. It is too late to say anything now.

Mou Bin rushed to the door and immediately took a breath of cold air.

All the soldiers of the Beijing Army, led by Tang Mu, had their heads wrapped in white cloth and their faces were covered in blood.

Obviously, those were their own cuts on their cheeks, which meant "blood for blood, tooth for tooth", and "blood debts must be repaid with blood"!
"Yumu!"

Mou Bin gritted his teeth and warned: "Don't do this!"

"You act rashly like this and you will only destroy all of Lord Tang's hard work!"

"Once His Majesty becomes wary of you and dismisses all of you from office and strips you of your titles, then you, the military generals and nobles, will be finished!"

"This is clearly what the mastermind behind this wants to see. Don't you understand?"

Tang Mu looked at Mou Bin with red eyes and laughed miserably: "Master Ti, I just want to avenge the Marquis now!"

"As long as the Marquis is avenged, I, Tang Mu, will immediately commit suicide to apologize. I, Tang Mu, will bear all the blame alone!"

"Now, please tell us, General Ti, who is the real murderer who murdered my Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Mou Bin sighed secretly, then shook his head with a sad expression.

"still not clear!"

"The obvious clue lies in the Ning Wangfu caravan!"

"Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao has committed many acts of treason, and the evidence is irrefutable, but this is most likely what the mastermind behind the scenes wants us to see."

"Zhu Chenhao claimed that this was most likely done by Yang Tinghe, because the assassination of Tang Hou killed Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, interrupted the rise of military generals and nobles, and the princes of the royal family were expelled from the court. The final result was that the civil officials and gentry once again took over the government..."

Mou Bin told everything he knew now without reservation.

He respected the loyalty of Tang Mu and others, so he didn't want to see these good generals go astray.

The Northern Pacification Office was the core location of the Ming Emperor's personal army, the Jinyiwei.

Once Tang Mu and others really attack the Northern Pacification Office, they will be tantamount to treason and will surely die in the end!
That's why Mou Bin took the initiative to speak, gave Tang Mu and the others the interrogation results they wanted, and then left.

However, he greatly underestimated the determination of Tang Mu and others, and also underestimated the great influence of Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao!

Tang Mu Ce immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Master Ti, give me the person!"

"This is impossible!" Mou Bin refused decisively with a sullen face!

"He is Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, a prince of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Tang Mu, why do you insist on seeking your own death?"

"Hahaha..." Tang Mu laughed crazily, "I should have been the one to die!"

"The Marquis blocked those poisonous arrows for me! If a useless person like me cannot avenge the Marquis, then I am truly unworthy of being a human being!"

"Mu Bin, listen carefully. You have to hand it in today, whether you want to or not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Mu actually drew out his sword.

The 50,000 soldiers of the Beijing Army drew their swords without hesitation!
They want to... storm the Pacification Office!

Seeing this, Mou Bin flew into a rage and pointed at Tang Mu, angrily saying: "You idiot, this is tantamount to rebellion!"

Tang Mu was indifferent and shouted again: "Hand him over!"

Mou Bin's face suddenly turned gloomy and he turned back to the gate of the Zhenfu Division.

Behind him were the elite Jinyiwei Tiqi who were already ready.

"Where is the Jin Yiwei?"

"Anyone who dares to step through this door will be killed without mercy!"

Tang Mu slowly raised his hand, his eyes full of madness and hatred.

"Warriors prepare——"

Today, no one can stop him from avenging the Marquis!
