Tang He was an extremely smart man. In the original history, he was one of the few people who could escape unscathed in court.
Such people generally have a very outstanding advantage.
No matter whether I saw something or understood something.
They will not show their emotions easily on their faces, and they will never take the initiative to express their thoughts.
Of course Tang He could tell that those courtiers seemed to be planning something.
However, he was only sent to protect Zhu Biao.
The role of his Qinghe Army is to maintain the stability of the court and prevent people from taking advantage of this opportunity to make small moves.
besides……
I don't know how to cook soup or any other unnecessary things.
How to compete with the civil servants in the court is a matter for the prince Zhu Biao.
A rough guy like him knows nothing and can't do anything.
I only know one thing, that is to obey His Majesty the Emperor's orders, that's all.
Seeing the confused look on Tang He's face, Zhu Biao really thought that a fierce general like him, who was good at station chief fighting, would not understand the twists and turns in the court hall.
He also said to Tang He sincerely: "Uncle Tang, you don't understand, things are not as simple as they seem on the surface."
"If these ministers make a fuss today, maybe this matter can be revealed."
"They didn't say anything, and no one even took a stand. This makes me worried."
Tang He looked upright: "Your Highness, please rest assured. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to His Highness, I will kill his entire family."
Zhu Biao was speechless: "Uncle Tang, things are different now. In the past, we were trying to conquer the world, and sometimes we had to be harsher."
"But now, we are governing the world. No matter what we do, we must abide by the law and cannot mess around."
"Even if our Zhu family is a royal family, we cannot do whatever we want unscrupulously. If that were the case, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"So, even if I want some people to die in my heart, on the surface, we can't attack them for no reason. We should even treat them better."
"Uncle Tang, I know that you are a fierce general on the battlefield, and you don't bother to think about these things. But from now on, you should act before you turn thirty."
Seeing Zhu Biao's words so solemnly, Tang He also looked like he suddenly realized: "So that's it. Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have learned from you."
Zhu Biao felt quite surprised.
Tang He was one of the first people to follow Lao Zhu in launching an army. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the true founding father of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao originally thought that people like Tang He would be very proud deep down and look down on him, the Crown Prince.
This is also normal. Anyone who can participate in the cause of building a country from scratch will definitely be very proud.
But what surprised Zhu Biao was that Tang He, a rough man fighting on the battlefield, was not as difficult to get along with as he imagined.
Even... there is a feeling of spring breeze.
It seems that his prestige is indeed quite high. Even his father's old subordinates do not dare to act arrogantly in front of him.
Even people like Tang He can't completely guess what others are thinking.
If he knew what the Lord was thinking, he might tell Zhu Biao.
"Your Highness, you think too much."
Tang He just didn't want Lao Zhu to feel that he was getting too close to the prince.
Anyway, on the surface, he is just fulfilling his role as a courtier.
Apart from that, please don’t go to Tanghe for any extra risks.
There are countless ministers in this court who are willing to serve His Highness the Crown Prince even if they die.
I really don’t miss his soup and one.
Of course, you won’t say what’s in your heart naturally.
Tang He not only did not refute Zhu Biao, but looked respectful, as if he had really been educated by Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao was calm on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.
After all, the person in front of me who was humble enough to be taught was no one else, but the right-hand man of his father, Dean Zhu.
One of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if he is a prince, when facing such a person, he can't help but feel a little apprehensive.
As a result, Tang He turned out to be so easy to talk to.
"My father is so wise." Zhu Biao was filled with emotion.
I am deeply grateful that Lao Zhu left him such an "obedient" speech.
"Sneeze!" Zhu Yuanzhang, who was heading to Datong, couldn't help but sneeze loudly.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed in coarse cloth.
Behind him was a small donkey with a shiny coat. This was a small donkey that I bought after a break in order to be more relaxed when I was on the road.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not ride the donkey, but led him to walk leisurely.
On the little donkey, Queen Ma, who was obviously dressed in ordinary clothes but still carried a trace of nobility that could not be concealed, sat sideways on the donkey.
The two of them, one behind the other, looked like an ordinary young couple on their way in a group.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also strange.
When I was dealing with government affairs in the past, I always felt tired in various ways.
Now I walk for two hours every day. Not only do I not feel tired, but I feel more energetic.
Today's Ming Dynasty is in a stage of rapid expansion.
Of course, that’s not to say that this is bad, but for the sake of expansion, something must be sacrificed.
Just like security.
In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who want to get something for nothing.
If it were placed in the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty, it would not be incomprehensible for those who could not survive to become bandits.
But in today's Ming Dynasty, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can find a job to make a living no matter what.
If you are brave enough, you might even go out to sea with a caravan or something.
After just one or two trips, you can become a small millionaire.
But some people just like to get something for nothing.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had just entered the territory of Hebei. Because the official road was being repaired, they had to take a detour.
Not long after entering a small road, he was surrounded by more than a dozen people.
"stop!"
Among the dozen or so people, there was a tall man with a sinewy face who roared like thunder in the summer.
"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. I want to pass through this place and leave money to buy the road!"
Hearing this man's words, Lao Zhu was speechless.
he!
Zhu Yuanzhang, the majestic emperor of Ming Dynasty, was robbed by a group of bandits in the mainland of Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, what the hell are those words that the bandit said?
Has this guy read too many stories?
Zhu Yuanzhang was not uncommon with real bandits, and no one had ever actually said such words.
For no other reason than the mountain kings also want to lose face and cannot afford to embarrass this person.
Besides, why do bandits do all these bells and whistles when they are robbing?
In fact, many people are really confused about bandits.
In fact, most bandits don't kill people directly when they come up.
These people are actually more like road bullies.
They just stand on some of the more important roads and take advantage of the large number of people to extort some money from those caravans.
Under normal circumstances, if you can't help it, don't do it.
Bandits also have brains, they don't just know how to fight and kill.
If you think about it, you will understand that it is inevitable that there will be fatalities and injuries in a fight.
How big can a bandit stronghold be?
If one dies today and another dies tomorrow, it won't be long before the bandit leader becomes a bare commander.
Moreover, it would be fine if he really died.
After all, they are bandits, so they don't need to pay any pensions or anything like that. They can just dig a hole somewhere and bury them, and it's all over.
However, if people want to survive, it will be troublesome.
With so many people watching, you can't really leave your brother alone, right?
If you really do this, how can you bring others with you in the future?
When they are brought back, the injured people need treatment. Isn’t it free to pay for medical treatment and medication?
Therefore, as long as they are not really forced to do so, the bandits can actually try not to do anything if they can.
Of course, the most important reason is actually another reason.
There are so many roads in the world, and those caravans may not only take this one.
If people often die around the bandit's stronghold, those merchants will feel that the risk is too great, and at worst, they will just take a detour instead of going here.
Without the merchants coming and going, the bandit's stronghold will soon be abandoned.
So, any bandit with some brains.
I really rarely try my best to fight with the businessmen who come and go. At most, I just scare them.
Even so, this was the first time that Lao Zhu actually said the cuts in the storybook.
Surrounded by more than a dozen people, there was no look of fear on Lao Zhu's face.
This is of course.
When he was fighting for world hegemony, he was used to seeing thousands of armies.
None of these dozen people are worthy of carrying his shoes.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and clasped his fists at several people: "I wonder if I am a friend of that line, can you please reciprocate? We have never heard of friends doing business on this line before."
The bandit leader was confused when he heard this, and his brows almost knitted together: "What kind of thread is it for the wrist? I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"Old man, we are bandits. If you are wise, hand over all the money you have. If I am happy, I might be able to keep you alive."
"If you are shameless..." the bandit leader said, waving the big knife in his hand twice.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, his knife was the lowest quality.
If the quartermaster in the army dares to assemble this kind of knife for the army.
Zhu Yuanzhang could really destroy their nine tribes.
Of course the bandit leader didn't know that this little old man in front of him, who looked nothing out of the ordinary, was thinking about this kind of thing.
He continued to think about himself: "Then don't blame me for being cruel."
Well, you can tell from his words that this guy is just a rookie who doesn't know anything.
At least not real professional bandits.
After understanding this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally felt relieved.
Such a person, at least, would not be sent by someone with ulterior motives to target him. If you specifically wanted to deal with him, you would not be able to send such a layman who knows nothing.
"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly.
The bandit thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to pay. A look of greed suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Just by looking at the clothes of these people, you can tell that their lives are probably not very good either.
The life of a real bandit is not as comfortable as some people imagine.
They all had their heads pinned to their waistbands, and they were always there.
As a result, while the bandits were waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to pay, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side.
The number of people was not very large, only about five people.
The bandit leader's face changed drastically when he saw this: "No! There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"
Okay, this is more laymanlike.
It's just that now it's too late to run away.
The people in front of him were each more ferocious than the last. The bandit leader watched helplessly as his men were easily knocked down by these people with three punches and two kicks.
Just blinking his eyes, the only ones still standing here were Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the few people who rushed out.
"You bastards, I'll fight you." The bandit leader gritted his teeth and roared. He grabbed hold of the man with both hands and threw himself over the head of the person who was charging towards him.
This time, the bandit leader also tried his best. With this knife, he thought that even a stone could be easily split in half.
As a result, the man didn't even blink, and raised his hand directly to the blade. Just before the bandit leader's sword was about to cut off his finger, he suddenly grabbed the blade.
In an instant, the bandit leader's sword seemed to be frozen, and he was unable to move forward at all.
The bandit leader subconsciously wanted to withdraw his knife.
As a result, no matter how hard he suppressed his face, the knife did not move at all.
"With this little ability, you still want to imitate others and go out to rob?"
The sarcastic words made the bandit leader feel that he had been greatly insulted, and he immediately gritted his teeth and retorted: "Asshole, let me get the knife if you can, and let's fight in an upright manner."
He seemed to have completely forgotten that the opponent only needed one hand to catch his full-strength slash.
The strength gap between the two sides is simply obvious.
"Okay, I'll give you this chance." The man didn't care. When the bandit leader drew his knife, he suddenly let go of his hand, and at the same time, he didn't forget to move forward gently.
The bandit leader was trying hard to pull his knife, but he was caught off guard, grabbed the knife, staggered back more than ten steps, and fell to the ground.
It hurts so much that stars are starting to pop out of both eyes.
It took quite a while before I finally recovered.
Just as he was about to get up, a sharp sword was already placed on his neck.
Feeling the cold edge of the long sword, the bandit leader calmed down in an instant.
He honestly dropped his own and was beaten until he screamed: "Surrender, I surrender."
The man who grabbed the bandit leader's sword before laughed and said provocatively: "Weren't you very fierce just now? Why did you give up so quickly?"
Seeing this man, the bandit leader's eyes seemed to burst out with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Despicable villain."
Just now, this guy clearly promised to fight him openly, but in the end, he used dirty tricks to plot against him.
The man was not angry, but kicked him contemptuously: "Who do you think you are, worthy of fighting me?"
After that, he stopped caring about the bandit leader and went to Xi to report to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed his words: "Boss Chang, how should we deal with these bandits?"
