Tang Ding waved his hand and said: "To you it is just a prescription, but to me it is a real life."
Han Du smiled and did not continue to argue with Tang Ding on this matter. If we continue to argue, it may become more and more unclear. What does it look like when two grown men are acting coy about this? As long as you can remember it in your heart, that's all.
Then Tang Ding told some interesting stories about his military experience as casual conversation.
Han Du felt a little confused while listening, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Since you are with the army, why are you coming back now?" If Tang Ding returned injured, it would be excusable. But now that his illness is obviously cured, why is it that he is back now? He has never heard that the army that conquered the South is going to reorganize.
Moreover, it is impossible for Tang Ding to return as a deserter. This is not the first time that he has gone on an expedition with the army. In the past, he was known for his bravery in the army, which can be said to be the pride of Tang He.
Tang Ding smiled and explained: "I wanted to continue to stay in the army, but a serious illness frightened Marshal Mu. He was afraid that something would happen if I stayed in Yunnan, so he ordered me to be discharged in the name of injury. Sent back."
This is quite possible, Han Du nodded repeatedly.
As a head coach on an expedition, the biggest threat is naturally the enemy. Secondly, there are the children with strong backgrounds who come to the army to experience their military exploits. Military merit was the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty. During one expedition, the army was filled with countless children from the prince's family.
If someone like Tang Ding is a strong general, then that's fine, at least it's easy to use. If you meet that kind of playboy, he has no abilities and likes to point fingers everywhere. Moreover, the military is inherently difficult, and these people cry for their fathers and mothers when life gets a little harder, clamoring to go back.
It can be said that the existence of these people is the biggest threat to the coach besides enemies.
And it's not enough if you don't bring these people with you. They are all relatives and friends from old times, so you can't refuse them flatly when they come to your door. Moreover, if these princely families want to continue their family's glory and glory, they naturally need the blessing of shining military achievements. Not to mention Mu Ying, even Lao Zhu turned a blind eye to this situation.
When these people go to the battlefield, the biggest problem is that danger can happen anytime and anywhere. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, that is no joke. If one of these people dies, how should they explain to others after returning to Beijing?
That's why Mu Ying was so nervous and anxious when Tang Ding fell ill. Tang Ding is the backbone of Duke Xin's palace. Although Tang He still has a son, he may even have another son in the future. But it is not easy to have a worthy son. Therefore, Mu Ying had to be nervous. After Tang Ding recovered by luck, she hurriedly sent Tang Ding back to the capital without any delay.
Anyway, as long as Tang Ding is de-gilded, he can get some military honors when the time comes.
Through Tang Ding's mouth, Han Du learned some things about Lan Yu Nan Zheng. After Lan Yu entered Yunnan with the army, she didn't even encounter any decent resistance. She just waited for the wind and surrendered all the way. Until the army entered Kunming, the old Yuan Chenglian showed no resistance at all, so he respectfully handed over the surrender form. At this point, the entire Yunnan was officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Tang Ding also contracted dysentery after this.
Although the army entered Yunnan and did not fight a decent battle, the things were no less than fighting. After Yunnan surrendered, Mu Ying led the army and began to rectify all aspects of Yunnan. And Lan Yu led a group to go out to attack the scattered resistance forces that were still unwilling to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
"Therefore, the Marquis of Yongchang will not be able to come back for a while now." Tang Ding shook his head slightly and continued: "But according to my estimation, it should be soon, and he should be able to return to the imperial court before the Chinese New Year."
Han Du nodded, indicating that he understood. Han Du was not worried about whether Lan Yu could come back. If a person like Lan Yu is born for the battlefield, if he is allowed to stay in the capital, he will probably get sick sooner or later. Racing across the battlefield is what he really likes. Now if he is asked to come back, he may not be willing to do so.
Seeing that Tang Ding and Han Du had finished talking, Tang He couldn't help but snorted coldly, looked at Han Du and said: "I just came back and heard about your reputation. You are quite capable of doing things in the capital. ....."
When Han Du heard this, he suddenly recalled Tang He's instructions to him before going on the expedition, telling him not to get involved in things carelessly. He couldn't help but smile flatteringly and said apologetically: "Please forgive me, sir, I don't want to do that either. Isn't this the condition of the empress? I really can't hold it back..." Tang He listened. , said even more dissatisfied: "Is this what I'm talking about? You did the right thing."
If it's not this thing, which thing is it?
Tang He saw that Han Du looked confused, and it didn't matter whether Han Du really didn't know or was pretending not to know. He said directly: "The Queen is kind, you should save him as a matter of course. If I know that you have the ability to save the Queen but don't take action, I will beat you to death when I come back."
Ignoring the looks in Han Du and Tang Ding's eyes, Tang He fell into memories and murmured to himself: "The empress is kind-hearted and has saved my life in front of the emperor more than once. I will always remember this kindness. It’s just a pity that I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it in this lifetime.”
After coming back to his senses after a moment, Tang He glared at Han Du and said sternly: "What I'm talking about is that you privately proposed to the emperor for marriage. Do you know what the words of a matchmaker ordered by your parents are? Even if it's you If you want to ask for a marriage, then wait until I come back and say it. Wouldn't it be better for me to go to the palace and ask for the emperor? Also, if you ask for a marriage, just grant it. Why does it have to be Princess Anqing? Don't you know that she has a marriage contract? Are you here?"
Han Du also knew what he was doing, and what he did was indeed quite confusing. Perhaps it's because love can always mess with people's minds. At that time, Han Du felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he did it regardless. Now that I think about it, if Tang He was asked to do the matchmaking, he would have a greater chance of success.
But now that the matter is over, Han Du has nothing to regret.
"My father-in-law scolded me and hit me, and I accepted it. But regarding Princess Anqing, I have confirmed her and will not change my mind."
Tang He looked at Han Du intently, and after a while he suddenly sneered and said: "You have the momentum to never look back until you hit the south wall, but do you know that Princess Anqing has a marriage contract, and the emperor will do it no matter what?" I won’t marry her to you again.”
"There are no absolutes in this world. If you don't try, how can you know that the emperor will not change his mind?" Han Du was determined.
