"There are elders here, what are you doing with me?" Zhu Su didn't have a good face for Li Jinglong. "It's not me as the manager this time...... Haven't you seen the Duke of Xinguo soon? ”

"Yes, yes. It's Jiujiang who has no eyesight to see...... Jiujiang meets the Duke of Xinguo! Li Jinglong and Zhu Su are old acquaintances, knowing that his words are reprimanded, it is also because he has the intention of hating iron and steel, and he does not think it is resentful in his heart, but turns his head according to his words and bows to the old man who is sitting on the throne and is in good spirits.

This old man is one of Lao Zhu's most qualified supporters, and Xu Da's old qualifications are Xinguo Gong Tanghe. If you want to say that this Tang He, in the court of Hong Wunian, he is also a tumbler-like figure, not only for his great military achievements, but also in terms of political smell, which is also extremely astute.

If it is said that among the nobles who died well in the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, Xu Da relied on his outstanding ability and loyalty, which can be called an optimus jade pillar of the Ming military...... Then Tang He relied on his keen political sense to avoid evil, and turn evil into good fortune.

Tang He looks rough and arrogant, but he has a mirror in his heart. If you say that you know Lao Zhu's thoughts the most, except for Queen Ma, I am afraid it must be Tang He. Whenever there was a major case in the court, Tang He could always find out the clues in advance, and then either use military training as an excuse or a town defense as an excuse to avoid Beijing first. In his later years, he really couldn't use these excuses, so he simply said that he was infected with wind disease, couldn't speak, declined all military positions, and took his family back to his hometown Fengyang to retire.

After the four major cases, Huaixi Xungui was killed and injured, and even Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, had people trying to bite in vain, but he passed through the Mansion of Xinguo in a thousand flowers, and it was still as uncontaminated as a little white flower.

In the original history, Tang He at this time should have already used the excuse of suffering from wind disease, retreated bravely from the rapids, and returned to Fengyang to make fun of Sun. However, because the Ming Dynasty of this timeline enabled the national policy of expanding the territory, Xinguo Gongtang He, who is a martial artist, is naturally very hot. It's a pity that among his descendants, there is no one who can stand up to the door, and this Xinguo Gong has no choice but to continue to fight on the front line, hoping to accumulate some more military merits for the Thaxin Guogong Mansion.

When the Wa Kingdom had not yet been pacified, the Duke of Xinguo was stationed in western Zhejiang and built a city along the coast to guard against the Wakos. Later, the Japanese rebellion subsided, the sea ban was lifted, and Xin Guogong was responsible for sitting on the coast, arranging and training sailors, and ensuring the tranquility of the sea and Xinjiang. When Zhu Su was ordered to rush to Zhu Di's aid, he dispatched many officers and soldiers of the sailors trained by Xinguo Gongtang and others. If you talk about the Dinghai Divine Needle on the border of the Ming Sea, it is not Zhu Su, let alone Li Jinglong, but it is none other than this Xinguo Gongtang He.

Tang He is commensurate with Lao Zhu's brothers, and Li Jinglong is Lao Zhu's nephew, and the two are two generations apart. However, Tang He did not rely on the old and sell the old, but helped Li Jinglong up with a smile, and said kindly: "Jiujiang doesn't need to be polite, His Royal Highness King Zhou's position is higher than ours, and it is not wrong for you to worship him first." ”

"If it is not wrong to worship the wrong person, then indecision, delaying the fighters, and sitting back and watching the bandits sit on the throne have caused my Ming to lose four warships and hundreds of sailors...... Is this a mistake? Zhu Su still didn't give Li Jinglong a good face.

"Originally, I entrusted this Dawan Island to you, hoping that you could manage this place well and rely on it to control the East China Sea and the South Sea. But unexpectedly, you sat on my Ming warship, but you were still defeated by the bandits...... If Xin Guogong failed to arrive with the fleet, would you, Li Jiujiang, still be captured by the bandits? ”

"In recent years, I have not lost a battle in the Ming Dynasty...... You, Li Jiujiang, don't you have to be the first person to damage my enterprising spirit? ”

That's too much. Li Jinglongfu, who wanted to stand up with Tang He's support, knelt down again, and didn't dare to answer with a frown.

"Your Highness, are you talking too much? As the saying goes, when you often stand by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet, and when Guan Yunchang loses Maicheng...... "On the right side of Tang He, Zheng Guogong Changmao, who came with Zhu Su, tried to ease the atmosphere.

Chang Mao is a rough man, but this metaphor is said Li Jinglong's eyes are dark: what is Guan Yunchang and defeated Maicheng, after Guan Yunchang defeated Maicheng, Shu Hanke took a sharp turn...... Isn't this a confirmation that he has broken the steaming and upward spirit of the imperial court.

Zhu Su was also almost laughed at by Chang Mao's analogy, but fortunately, Li Jinglong didn't pay attention, and Zhu Su had already made a straight face again. "Jiujiang, do you know what went wrong this time?"

"Nephew, nephew knows his mistake, nephew's fault is indecision, and he didn't take advantage of the fact that the bandits were still weak. It was also a mistake to underestimate the enemy's rash advance, and when he saw the fifth uncle's letter of reprimand, he was in a hurry, and without thinking about it, he directly launched an attack on the bandits......"

"So much so that the way of the bandits......"

"It seems that you have not yet understood your fault." Zhu Su frowned, but this time his expression really sank. "If you don't understand, the sailor talisman in your hand will be handed over to Zheng Guogong first."

"Go back to Beijing first, and wait for the court to punish you."

"Huh? This ......" Li Jinglong's face turned pale, he almost lost the property of the Cao Guo Mansion, and lost all the little work he had accumulated in the past few years, and he was defeated again, almost losing his teacher and humiliating the country. If you go back at this time, the emperor's dragon belt that can whip people to death may fall on his ass.

Even if the emperor takes into account the feelings of his relatives and his father's achievements, and opens up to himself, the soles of his father Li Wenzhong and grandfather Li Zhen are not easy to accept...... He Li Jinglong wanted to glorify the lintel, so he went out with the fifth uncle. If you can't wash away the humiliation, how can you be willing to go back to Beijing?

Seeing that Li Jinglong's face was confused, as if he really didn't know the crux of the problem, Tang He couldn't bear to see it, and said: "Jiujiang, do you know, what does it mean to 'not be in his position, not to seek his government'?" ”

Li Jinglong is well-read and knows the meaning of this statement. But after hearing this, he was even more confused. "Xin Guogong, my nephew knows what this means...... It's just that this sentence has nothing to do with the mistakes made by the nephew? ”

"Doesn't it matter?" Tang He still smiled, "Then tell me, what do you think when you repair the book to Yingtian?" ”

"Why do you want to temporarily open the net and not kill these bandits on the spot?"

Looking at Shang Tang and the eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate his heart, Li Jinglong's face turned red and said, "Jiujiang...... Jiujiang was also afraid of missing the important affairs of the imperial court, so he wanted to wait for His Majesty to make a decision first......"

"Are you afraid of missing a major event in the DPRK, or are you afraid of taking the responsibility of overstepping your authority?" Tang He's face gradually became serious.

"Why should a general be so timid about the enemy when he is on a campaign, and even open his net?"

"Are you the official of the Imperial Historical Tower, or are you a cabinet minister waiting for the emperor's instructions? Or do you think that the superior is a faint tyrant who doesn't know right and wrong, and you have to serve carefully to keep your Li Jiujiang's head? ”
