Are there really people in this world who are born with knowledge?

Zhu Yuanzhang now has a very clear understanding of his eldest grandson's experience.

During this time, he keenly discovered that there was no guide for Yu Dasun on his way forward.

There is no so-called master.

Except for the initial wandering in the Western Regions, he soon seized his opportunities and rose rapidly.

When Zhu Yuanzhang went to study business, he carefully studied the business model of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

Reading naturally means reading all books.

However, the framework of the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce was built by Da Sun himself from the inside out.

This framework, even at the beginning, was too mature and seemed completely ready.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was smart enough and well-read.

It is very difficult to form a system because you don’t know what the situation will be like for the people living under this system.

Is it a good influence or a bad influence.

Zhu Yuanzhang created so many systems, and the entire framework of the Ming Dynasty was almost built up step by step by him.

So it is very clear how difficult it is to reach the conditions of maturity.

Well, even if we consider that the eldest grandson is extremely talented in business and has not taken a wrong step, he has come this far in a completely steady and extremely lucky way.

So what about military affairs and government affairs?

The way of conducting military exercises completely surpassed that of all previous dynasties and was a method never seen before.

His many achievements in government affairs seem to have fully seen through future developments.

Even the most difficult issue of vassal kings in all dynasties was easily solved in the hands of the eldest grandson.

The development of the matchlock gun has made it the most powerful weapon of the Ming Dynasty.

Cement roads, land tax, separation of military forces, salary reform, promotion of maritime trade, conquest of Japan, diplomacy with various countries...

When I count them one by one, there are simply too many.

In a trance, the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to have completely changed.

Twenty-five years of the Ming Dynasty were not as good as two years of development.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he seemed to be unable to keep up with the pace of his eldest grandson recently.

"Are we old?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt sad.

There is nothing to do.

After the morning court the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Tang He into the palace.

Tang He's health is much better now.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, he suddenly suffered a stroke, which meant that Tang He no longer posed any threat to the Ming Dynasty.

But as far as the current eldest grandson is concerned, Tang has little to do with this place anymore.

After all, Feng Sheng and Lan Yu both survived, let alone Tang He.

Seeing his old friend, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very good mood, so he told Liu He: "Prepare some side dishes and heat up a pot of wine. Today we have to have a good chat with our old brother."

Upon hearing this, Tang He looked somewhat embarrassed.

His stroke was a liver stroke, and the cause was actually simple: excessive drinking.

I used to rely on my good health to drink day and night, but now I am old and full of diseases.

The imperial physician repeatedly warned me not to drink alcohol anymore.

The wine that was once fine has become a deadly poison to Tang He today.

Tang He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang from the corner of his eye and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was radiant and energetic, with no trace of gloom in his eyes.

It was clear in my heart that His Majesty summoned me today not to kill me, but just to reminisce about the past.

Obviously, His Majesty doesn't know that I can't drink.

This is a problem.

If I say it directly, it is very likely that His Majesty will be unhappy and the atmosphere will be ruined, which may cause big problems later.

Ever since the Hu Weiyong case, Tang He has had a very thorough understanding of this emperor, with whom he grew up. At his age, it is normal for him to pave the way for future generations.

In fact, Tang He was quite understanding in his heart.

After I made the mistake, I completely understood that Your Majesty is no longer Your Majesty. He is no longer the emperor of the past, nor is he the Chongba of the past.

The gap between a ruler and his subjects is like a natural chasm. Anyone who wants to cross the line by relying on past merits will basically end up with nothing good.

All Tang He wants now is to live out his life in peace. In some ways, this is also paving the way for his children and grandchildren.

Tang He had five sons and five daughters.

Let’s not talk about daughters for now. The daughters of Duke Xin will naturally marry good men of equal status.

Given Tang He's status, no son-in-law would dare to displease his father-in-law.

The eldest son, Tang Ding, was once the pride of Tang He. He followed Tang He in his military campaigns to conquer the world at an early age.

He served as the assistant commander of the front army, a rank of second grade.

Unfortunately, in the 14th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Fu Youde on an expedition to Yunnan, and Tang Ding also followed him, but he died in Yunnan.

The third son, Tang Nai, and the fourth son, Tang Xie, both died young.

Wu Zi Tang Li was the deputy commander of the left army and a first-rank official. Unfortunately, he died in battle during the expedition against Wu Kaiwei.

The only one left was the second son, Tang Wei.

Originally, Tang Fu was the Central Guard Commander of Taiyuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for Tang He who had no son to take care of him and he himself was seriously ill, so he had Tang Fu transferred back to the capital instead of taking care of Tang He.

Tang He had nothing else to do and was recuperating every day.

As long as he lives in this world, no one can shake his status as the second son and eldest grandson.

The Mansion of the Duke of Xin is the most prestigious noble family in the Ming Dynasty.

Because of his concerns and previous lessons, Tang He was so cautious. He was thinking about how to express in a tactful way that he could not drink.

Just when Tang He was in a dilemma, Liu He said in an even more difficult tone: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has specifically instructed that Your Majesty must not drink."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he paused slightly.

Then he glanced at Tang He and said in feigned anger, "Does our eldest grandson need to know that we are drinking? This is outrageous."

"Go and get me a hot pot of wine. Today I want to drink with my old brother."

When Liu He heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more. With a bit of struggle on his face, he lowered his head and said, "As you wish."

Seeing that Liu He was about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang added: "We will drink a small pot with our old brother Tang He, not more. You can't tell our eldest grandson about it."

"If our eldest grandson knew about this, I would have to teach you a lesson."

Hearing this, Liu He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the wine in the Guanglu Temple was guarded by His Royal Highness the Grandson. If I go to get the wine this time, His Royal Highness the Grandson will definitely know."

"It's right behind me. I can't hide it."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he remembered that the chefs in the Guanglu Temple were mostly led by their eldest grandson.

If there is anything, I will definitely tell my eldest grandson.

He was a little unhappy and said, "Really? I just want to drink some wine, but this is not allowed."

"Hurry up and get us some wine. Our eldest grandson is playing with Xiao Yuting right now. Be careful and don't let us know."

"Hurry up. By the time our eldest grandson finds out, the wine will be on the table and he won't be able to stop us."

Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, so today he wanted to have a drink to satisfy his craving.

This dilemma only aroused his alcohol addiction.

Tang Hexin was numb.

After so many twists and turns, he didn't know what to say.

After a moment's thought, he made up his mind that when the wine was almost delivered, he would just pretend to be sick.

Anyway, I have problems all over my body, so I'm not afraid that the imperial physician will find out anything.

After thinking it over, Tang He relaxed.

Zhu Yuanzhang must have felt that he had lost face, so after Liu He left, he changed the subject and said, "We heard a few days ago that your eldest grandson caught a cold and is not feeling well."

The person Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about was Tang He's eldest grandson, the son of his deceased eldest son Tang Ding.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the title can only be inherited by the eldest legitimate line.

Hereditary succession is hereditary, but if the eldest direct line dies out, whether another title can be conferred depends on the emperor's will.

When Tang He heard Zhu Yuanzhang talking about his eldest grandson, his eyes were filled with heartache.

I don’t know what kind of misfortune he had suffered, but Changsun has been very weak since he was a child. I wouldn’t say he is a sickly person, but his body is really weak.

Even though I have been to many imperial physicians, the disease has not been completely cured. It requires long-term care.

"I dare not trouble your majesty. My grandson has been in poor health since he was young. The sun was shining brightly a few days ago, and he caught a cold while taking a bath."

"When I left the house just now, I was still drinking medicine over there."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately remembered the good things about his eldest grandson.

The filial grandson built a steam room in the palace, and Xiao Yuting, her daughter-in-law, and herself, all felt very comfortable and there was no danger of catching a cold.

In comparison, Tanghe here seems particularly pitiful.

He then said, "You know our eldest grandson, he is very thoughtful. Our little great-grandson was born in this winter and is most afraid of the cold."

"Our eldest grandson thought of a way to build a steam room. It's hot and steamy, just like a summer day."

"After we have finished chatting about the past, let's ask our eldest grandson to have someone go to your Xin Guogong Mansion and build a steam room. I guarantee that you won't have to worry about bathing in the future."

Tang He also heard about the incident in the steam room.

I just don't understand the structure.

But it can prevent the eldest grandson from catching a cold when bathing, which is a good thing. He immediately stood up and bowed, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "We are all old brothers, we don't need to do this."

"But let me say a few words. Your eldest grandson has been in poor health since he was young, so you should get married when you are old enough and leave a descendant as soon as possible."

"Don't blame me for being rude, this is the truth."

Tang He nodded and said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I have already found someone I like. I understand the health of my eldest grandson, so we should prepare for it as soon as possible. We can get married in a few years."

Tang He's eldest grandson was named Tang Sheng.

Now he is barely ten years old.

Even if you want it to be faster, you have to wait four or five years, until you are fourteen or fifteen years old.

Many of Tang He's sons died young, so he wanted to expand his family as soon as possible and make it prosperous.

But the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

With Tang He's prestige, the lineage of Duke Xin actually has nothing to worry about, and will enjoy wealth and prosperity for generations.

However, in reality, whether it is the current eldest grandson Tang Sheng, or Tang Sheng’s son Tang Wenyu, they all died young without exception, and only left behind offspring.

He hasn't even reached the age to inherit the title.

But when Tang Wenyu's son Tang Jie, Tang He's great-great-grandson, asked the court to inherit Tang He's title, a very strange thing happened.

When Tang Jie made the request, Emperor Yingzong of Ming was already in power.

At that time, after Tang Jie submitted a request to Emperor Yingzong of Ming to inherit the title, Emperor Yingzong of Ming actually dismissed the title of Duke of Xin left by Tang He on the grounds that no one had inherited the Tang family title for forty years!

However, what was even more unfortunate was that Tang Jie never gave birth to a son in his entire life.

Fortunately, although his father Tang Wenyu died early, he had two sons. Tang Jie could only adopt a son from his younger brother, named Tang Shaozong.

By the time of Tang Shaozong's generation, he no longer expected the court to grant him any title.

It just so happened that Zhu Youtang, the Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne.

After the Battle of Tumu, the Ming Dynasty was already in tatters and the court was in chaos.

When Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youtang, thought of the descendants of those loyal ministers who had served the Ming Dynasty, he naturally could not leave out Tang Shaozong.

Tang Shaozong was directly given the position of hereditary commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei.

During the Jiajing period, the Tang family had turned from bad to good and was awarded the hereditary title of Marquis of Lingbi.

This ended with the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty after five dynasties.

It’s also pretty good.

Compared to his sons, Tang He's daughters are pretty good.

Even when Zhu Yuanzhang killed many meritorious officials, these sons-in-law were able to avoid it thanks to Tang He.

After talking about Tang He’s grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang turned the topic to the time when the great events took place.

Tang He knew how to flatter, so naturally he had a very happy chat with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept laughing.

Not long after, Tang He saw the eunuchs squatting behind His Majesty with dishes coming over, and among them, the Crown Prince also followed.

No more words were spoken at that moment.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Tang He's expression, he subconsciously turned around and met Zhu Ying's eyes.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like a cat that was caught stealing food, and was actually a little embarrassed.

"Grandson, why are you here?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked pretending not to know.

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Xiao Yuting fell asleep. I was just about to go to the Gunpowder Department to check it out. I happened to run into someone delivering food to Grandpa, so I came over to take a look."

"I heard grandpa's hearty laughter from a distance. It turned out that Duke Xin had arrived."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard that his grandson did not mention the wine, so he said, "I'm thinking about you, old brother, so I just want to ask you how you're doing."

"Grandson, you came at the right time. Find a few people and build a steam room for Duke Xin's Mansion. We can't have all the good things to ourselves."

Zhu Ying replied: "Don't worry, Grandpa. I will have someone go over to build it tomorrow."

"It just so happens that Hangzhou has just delivered this year's new West Lake Longjing tea. Would you like to try it, Grandpa? Let's gather around the stove and make some tea."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that this was an excuse given by his eldest grandson.

He smiled and said, "Okay, let's gather around the stove and make some tea."

When Tang He heard this, his eyes lit up.
