Xinguo Gongfu. different
Tang He was lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly above his head. At this time, he knew clearly that he was about to leave.
That is to say, there is still one breath hanging on at the moment, and when this breath is given away, it will be almost done.
Under the hospital bed, there was a group of servants surrounding a teenage boy in front of him.
Looking at this scene, Tang He felt a little sad and helpless.
He had five sons in total, but two died in battle, two died in infancy, and one died of illness.
Now only the grandson Tang Sheng is left.
Next to Tang Sheng were several of his concubines and the servants behind him. different
Tang He raised his hand slightly, and Tang Sheng immediately stepped forward to hold it: "Grandpa, what do you want to say?"
I saw Tang He looking at the door with his eyes.
Tang Sheng was smart and understood immediately and said: "Grandpa, please don't worry, my grandson has already sent people to notify the palace as fast as possible. His Majesty must be aware of the matter now and should be here soon."
After hearing this, Tang He lowered his hand slightly.
At this time, the only person he wanted to see most was Zhu Yuanzhang.
This brother who once fought side by side and followed him for life.
Tang Sheng was also anxious and called a servant: "Quickly go to the door and have a look. If there is any news, come and report it immediately."
The servant hurriedly ran out.
Before Tang He died, he wanted to see His Majesty for the last time. This was not only Tang He's personal wish, but also the expectation of the entire Xinguo Duke's government.
Once Tang He died, it meant that there would no longer be anyone in the Xinguo Duke's mansion in the court.
As the saying goes, some things will become completely different without power.
Although Tang and his daughters are well married, it is still a bit difficult to count on helping the family. It is far from the Duke Xinguo's.
The biggest hope now is that His Majesty can take care of one or two.
Tang Heqiang was able to hold on to this, partly because of this. different
Finally, a voice came from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's steps were as fast as before, and he walked quickly towards Tang He's house.
Tang He turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's anxious figure outside the room, feeling comforted in his heart.
It seems that His Majesty still cares about him after all.
After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the room, everyone quickly knelt on the ground: "Greetings to Your Majesty."
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have the thought to care about this. He rushed to Tang He's bed in a few steps. Seeing the miserable appearance of the old brother who grew up together, tears fell immediately.
Seeing His Majesty coming, Tang He actually struggled to get up from the bed and wanted to get out of bed and bow down. different
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang held Tang He's hand and choked with sobs and said, "Tang He, we are here, we are here to see you off."
At this time, Tang He's already pale complexion suddenly surged with blood, and his whole body seemed to be energetic. Even his eyes were not so cloudy, and were a little clearer.
The backhand also held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, adding a bit more strength to his hand.
"Sir, you are finally here."
There was a strong feeling in Tang He's voice, as if there was no hint of being terminally ill or on the verge of death.
Tang Sheng's face showed a bit of surprise, but everyone present, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, who knew a little bit, knew very well that this was just the last flashback.
Just like the sunset at dusk, it blooms with light at the last moment, making the sky bright again. different
Feeling the condition of his body, Tang Hezi was also very aware of it, and said in a clear tone: "Sir, we haven't drank for a long time. I really miss the days when I drank with you. Can we have another drink with you?"
At this time, Tang He no longer called you Your Majesty, nor did he call himself your Majesty or me.
It's just like when we conquered the country, or when we were determined in the early Ming Dynasty.
At that time, he addressed his superiors, and just like Zhu Yuanzhang, he spoke his hometown dialect and called himself "Zan".
Hearing the title "Shangshang" again, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were somewhat complicated.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, everyone called themselves "we" and called themselves "highest".
It's just that after the Hu Weiyong case, no one dared to call himself this privately anymore, and everyone changed their self-identity to me or Chen.
Even in private. different
Of course, there are always some who don't react, and they are naturally implicated in the Hu Weiyong case. Now the grass on the grave is already three feet high.
Tang He, who was best at protecting himself wisely, would only dare to call him this when he was about to die.
Even if he was about to die, Tang He's mind was very clear, and he knew that now was not the time to talk about the difference between monarch and minister, but to draw closer to the last relationship again.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not worry about his manners and wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves: "Okay, I will listen to you. Come and prepare wine! Prepare good wine, the strongest wine!"
At this time, Tang Zhen struggled to get up from the bed, but it was very difficult. After all, the long-term pain and suffering, coupled with the hidden wounds left on the battlefield, had left his body riddled with holes.
Seeing this, Tang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but was blocked by Tang He with his hands.
I saw Tang He looking at Zhu Yuanzhang with piercing eyes and saying: "Sir, we can't do it anymore. Can you please give us a helping hand?"
These words seemed to have two meanings, but Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't care too much at this time. He went over to help Tang He get up: "You have supported us all your life, so what can I do if I help you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said this sentence with sincerity.
I still remember that when I was desperate, it was Tang He who helped me and wrote a letter to join the rebel army.
When he went there, Tang He was already a small commander, while he was still a big soldier at the beginning.
Since joining the rebel army, Tang He has taken care of himself in all aspects. Not only did he have easy work in the army, but he also had a full meal for the first time.
After wandering for many years, I finally had enough to eat after I went to Tanghe.
It was Tang He who spared no effort in recommending himself, and was able to gain the attention of Marshal Guo, so he was promoted step by step, married a eldest girl, and had the opportunity to form a team. different
Even though his own status has surpassed Tang He's, and many brothers below him are not convinced, Tang He is willing to promote himself and help build his prestige.
If Tang He hadn't helped him back then, would there still be a Ming Dynasty today?
Without Tang He, would he still be able to get a big girl and form his own team?
It was Tang He who pulled himself out of the bottom mire.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a lifetime has passed.
At this moment, this noble person who is related to his life, this brother who has been with him for his whole life, will finally take a step ahead of himself.
Some people may think that when they killed the heroes, it was Tang and Mingzhe who protected themselves, and they were smart enough to survive. different
In fact, from all aspects, if we talk about fear, the one who is most fearful should be Tang He.
In terms of qualifications, Tang He was the most senior among all the founding heroes, not only in terms of military merit, but also among the generals.
Even if it is Hu Weiyong or Li Shanchang, who can have Tang He's prestige among the armies?
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang thought about moving Tang He, but he never implemented it.
In the courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He sat across from each other. The strong aroma of wine came to their noses and spread throughout the courtyard.
Tang He had not had a drink for more than a year. This was a huge temptation for him who was once addicted to alcohol. He couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and took a sip without caring about Zhu Yuanzhang opposite him. Drink.
The burning sensation passed through his throat and went straight into his abdomen, seeming to warm up Tang He's entire body. different
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "You are still so impatient."
Tang He also laughed and said: "It's cool, it's really cool. The two of us
Nian, I was really too depressed. I lay on the hospital bed every day, unable to ride a horse or drink wine. I was waiting for death every day. "
"It's really not as good as dying on the battlefield a few years ago. It's just that the enemies are too weak. None of them can kill us. As a result, we can only look like this now."
At this moment, Tang He still looks like a dying old man. He looks like the god of death on the battlefield back then.
Xu Da is known as the victorious general, Chang Yuchun is even known as Chang Shiwan, and he, Tang He, is weak in the Western Expedition and the Northern War.
Listening to Tang He bragging, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and struck: "Don't brag. In the Battle of Lingbei, you almost lost your life at the foot of Guillotine Mountain. We still remember it."
Tang He suddenly said with some embarrassment: "It's been so long, superior, you still remember, this is the time we lost face in this life, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it, drink, drink!"
He immediately picked up the wine glass, touched it with Zhu Yuanzhang, and drank it down again.
Tang Sheng, who was standing by, was a little anxious. He was young, had never experienced life and death, and didn't understand the concept of returning to the light, so he wanted to step forward to persuade him.
Your Majesty is here. My grandfather's health has finally improved. How can he drink like this?
"Grandpa, you have to drink two cups less to get better." Tang Sheng took two steps forward and said.
When Tang and Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, they looked at each other and smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Your eldest grandson, I really feel sorry for you."
Tang He turned to look at his eldest grandson, and sighed and responded: "We only have this one seedling left. It's a blessing to be able to still care about me at this time."
"Your Majesty, in the days to come, everything in our mansion will be entirely dependent on your Majesty's care."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said: "What else can we take care of? We are only two years younger than you. Your grandson is only more than ten years old. If we can take care of him for a few years, he must be our eldest grandson."
Tang He's eyes lit up when he heard this.
If Zhu Yuanzhang fully agreed, he would still be a little worried. Now when it comes to letting Zhu Ying take care of it, this is really a serious matter.
The great-grandson is only eight or nine years older than his eldest grandson. As time goes by, at least in this life he will be rich and powerful without any problems.
Tang He immediately picked up the wine glass and praised: "When it comes to giving birth to children, the superiors still have the ability. The King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Yan, who are not good in the army, especially the eldest grandson of the superiors, Xiongying, is a real It’s beyond our expectation.”
"Although we have been lying on this hospital bed in the past few years, the changes in the Ming Dynasty are really the same every year. Sometimes I haven't gone out for half a year, and when I go out again, I think I am no longer in the capital." Yi
"I'm so lucky to be in this position. I have such an eldest grandson. The empire that we old brothers have conquered will only get better and better under my grandson's management."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Tang He praising his eldest grandson, he immediately beamed. He was even happier than when he heard Tang He bragging about himself.
"No, we didn't expect that. This guy Xiongying is really capable, so we just thought about it."
"Do you still remember what we talked about while drinking with you after we came back from Shu?"
Tang He recalled it and said with a smile without hesitation: "But as we said, if there are too many descendants of the upper class, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed."
That year, when Tang He defeated Shu and returned to the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took him to drink together.
At the wine table, we talked about descendants becoming kings. different
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would give every descendant a title of king, so that the descendants would protect the country for us, which made him feel at ease.
It was the tenth year of Hongwu's reign, before the Hu Weiyong case broke out, and many of the founding veterans did not have too many scruples to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The soup was immediately unpleasant.
Why don't you worry about us old brothers guarding the country for you?
That time Tang He said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "You have given birth to so many sons, and your sons will give birth to so many grandsons. There will be endless descendants. When the time comes, every one of them will be crowned a king, and they will never leave."
Ten generations, doesn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty will have tens of thousands of kings in the future, which will destroy the Ming Dynasty.
Now Tang He really didn't expect that he still underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang after all.
This happened eighteen years ago. I still remember a drunken joke so clearly. If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't mentioned it, Tang He would have completely forgotten it. different
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Yes, yes, that's that time. Ever since you said that, for more than ten years, we have always felt bad in our hearts."
"You said our descendants, the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. I don't feel very comfortable when they are left behind. But our Ming Dynasty only has such a small area, and it is sealed off one after another. After one hundred and eighty years, it's really There are kings everywhere.”
"You also know the situation of the treasury back then. There were so many salaries to be paid, which would make our Ming Dynasty very poor."
"Your words have made us worry for more than ten years. Today must be a drink as a penalty. Come on, drink!"
It was said that it was a penalty drink, and Zhu Yuanzhang also picked up the wine glass.
Tang He had no scruples at this time and said bluntly: "Hey, you are greedy, so you have to find an excuse to scold us. It seems that in the palace, the grandson is not less concerned about you."
Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently: "You are the only one who talks a lot. You are really ink. Drink it quickly."
After that, he drank the wine in the glass and said with a smile: "What a good thing. If it weren't for our eldest grandson, how could we drink such a fine wine."
Not to be outdone, Tang He said, "Just be proud of yourself. If it weren't for your eldest grandson, you would have been destroyed sooner or later."
Needless to say, what Tang He pointed out was about Zhu Ying's rules and regulations for overseas kingship, which avoided the troubles planted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to say something at this time: "It seems that even when you are lying on the hospital bed, you are not less concerned about our affairs."
The original intention was to beat him, which was probably Zhu Yuanzhang's habit.
But seeing Tang He's sluggish expression, he swallowed his words again.
At this time, some things are no longer necessary. Maybe in half an hour, maybe in an hour, Tang and this old brother are leaving, so what's the point of talking about this. different
Then he picked up the wine glass and said cheerfully: "Come on, drink, and you won't be drunk today."
Tang He laughed loudly: "You can rest after getting drunk!"
