When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Xingfu Palace, Tang He, who had been recovering from his injuries at home for several months, finally came to see his elder brother dressed in a python robe.
"Hahaha, you blind man, when did you throw away your walking stick?" Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the entrance of the palace, his face full of affection and his mouth full of local accent.
The two of them were from the same village as Zhou Dexing. They grew up playing in the mud with their naked buttocks together. They were closer than Xu Da.
And "blind man" is actually a continuation of "Xi Yaozi". Fengyang here refers to "child", which is what Zhu Yuanzhang called him since he was a child.
"Hey, come to see big brother, how dare you use a cane? Don't we deserve a beating?" Tang He was tall and handsome, with a leopard head, eyes and beard, and he looked like he had no scheming intentions.
"You are smart." Zhu Yuanzhang kicked his crutch and scolded him with a smile: "I want you to watch Xiu Zhongdu for us. You are a good person. How dare you pretend to be sick and be lazy!"
"Brother, we really broke our legs." Tang He said with a bitter face: "You didn't see it at the time. We fell from the city wall more than three feet high. With a bang, we fell like a porcelain
Actually, I was in a coma for ten days when I went back, and I lay in bed for three months, eating, drinking, having diarrhea, and sleeping on the bed. The fact that I am still alive to see you is because of the Emperor's blessing."
"Xinxin, where do you sleep if you don't sleep on the bed?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile, and suddenly his smile faltered. He thought that he did not sleep in the bed during the few nights before returning to his hometown.
The emperor and his ministers entered the palace laughing and joking, and Tang He reported to the emperor the situation in Linhuai last night. Before Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown, he received a secret order, ordering him to immediately take over all the troops in Fengyang and set up defenses outside Fengyang County.
Therefore, the Fengyang Guards who were safe did not rush there after receiving the news from Hu Fuzhuang. They were sent by Tang He after Tan Ma noticed something strange in Linhuai Embankment.
Of course, if it were not for Taigong Hu and the others, there is no telling whether Ping An would have arrived...
"Right now, the entire Fengyang is under control, and no one can cause trouble." Tang He assured, patting his chest.
"Well, I can rest assured that you can do the work." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and asked Manager Wu to bring two Jindun over. He asked Tang He to sit down, and he sat on the other one, looking at him with sharp eyes.
Tang He was so shocked by the sight that he said sarcastically: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. No matter how much you look at it, we won't see the difference."
"It's my turn to ask you this." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, "Blind Tang, what else do you want to tell me?"
"In which aspect?" Tang He said pitifully, "Brother, Mr. X should give you a hint, right?"
"Okay, let me give you a hint. Who told you, Lao Tang, to be stupid, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with a strong emphasis on the word "stupid", and said one word at a time: "Zhongdu Project."
"Hey..." Tang He wiped his sweat. He knew that this was Brother Chongba's warning to him, so he said honestly:
"Brother, the problem here is really big. I'm not talking about the quality of the project or the cost of the project. These Korean companies have done an impeccable job. Another person will not do better than him.
"But there is only one point where I disagree with the Korean public. He was too eager to finish the work as soon as possible and pushed the civilians too hard, so many people died." Tang He had actually drafted the draft a long time ago, but he still carefully considered every word.
road:
"In addition, in order to save money, the food given to the people was very poor, and they were not treated when they were sick. There were several fever epidemics throughout the summer. Although more people were quickly added, the people also complained a lot.
"I hope the speed can be slowed down a bit. For a major project like building the capital, it does not have to be completed ahead of schedule. As long as it does not delay the construction period given by the emperor. But the Korean father-in-law is very anxious and always says, 'Time does not wait for us, so I am grateful.
'."
"It's 'working day and night'." Zhu Yuanzhang corrected him seriously. It was not without reason that he loved being with his old brothers.
"Yes, yes, I just want to finish it tomorrow." Tang He nodded hurriedly.
"Since we have different opinions, why don't you write a report?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.
"Because I feel that although Mr. Han is concerned about his mistakes, in general, he still does his job sincerely. He is single-minded and even gives money to his eldest brother to build the palace. I ask myself that I can't do what he does. I really can't stand and talk.
No back pain." Tang He spread his hands and said with a sincere face:
"Besides, this is the Zhongdu City that you have been thinking about so much, brother! We really didn't know what to do, so we were in a daze and fell off the city wall. We think this is God's will, so we should just rest at home and recuperate. They
Do whatever you like."
"You are confused! Although God's will has been unpredictable since ancient times, God's heart is the people's heart. I have told you many times, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang angrily patted Tang He's head and said:
"Let me ask you, is it just a city or a palace that is more important, or is it the people's hearts and minds that are more important?!"
"People's hearts, of course, people's hearts are important." Tang He didn't dare to move, letting Boss Zhu pat his head like a ball, and admitted his mistake with a grimace:
"Brother, we were wrong. We didn't understand the seriousness. We failed to live up to your expectations. Please punish me. It doesn't matter whether you cut off your title or give me a spanking."
"You know that we are reluctant to deal with you, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded, and slapped him on the head one last time, so hard that Tang He's eyes flashed with stars. "Okay, this is your punishment."
"Hey, brother, can you stop hitting your head in the future? We are already stupid and rough, and the more we fight, the dumber we will get." Tang He covered his head and said in a daze.
"Just pretend to be stupid with me all day long." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
"Brother, we are really stupid. Otherwise, with the great love that eldest brother has for me, how can I still just be a marquis? I would have become a duke long ago." Tang He smiled naively. This is the only good thing about him. When something happens,
How can you not please your boss if you always look for problems within yourself?
"You want to be the Duke of the country. In fact, we can give it to you now." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Or? I'll write you an edict now. Someone comes..."
"No, no, no, no." Tang He waved his hands quickly. "Brother, if you add a duke to us now, wouldn't you put us on the fire to roast us?"
"There is no shop like this after passing this village." Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at him. "Don't you regret it?"
"I don't regret it." Tang Hemang firmly declined and said, "If we are self-aware, Marquis Zhongshan will be fine."
He knew very well that if he was promoted to Duke at this time, he would be using himself to attract hatred. Moreover, he had to clean up the mess in Zhongdu by himself. In the end, he would have to become a human being, at least the old Huaixi brothers would all hate him.
Kill yourself...
Liao Yongzhong's Yin Jian is not far away. Of course, a man with great wisdom like Tang He would not dare to follow in his footsteps.
"Hahaha..." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and raised his hand, which scared Tang He and quickly shrank his neck. However, the emperor only patted him on the shoulder and said lightly: "You also said that you are stupid. If you Tang He are stupid, this is not enough.
The ministers are all a bunch of smart pigs!"
"Brother, you know me, but we really don't have that much ability..." Tang Hetan begged.
"Okay, we understand your difficulties. For the sake of your children and grandchildren, you can't offend them too much. Just stand up for us." Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly tolerant of Tang He. Seeing that he really didn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility, he also
No more forcing.
"Brother, don't worry. Anyone who wants to touch a hair on your body has to step over my body first!" Tang He slapped his chest heavily.
