On one occasion, Prince Zhu Biao remonstrated, saying, "Your Majesty has killed too many ministers, for fear of hurting the sum of the monarch and the ministers." Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time after hearing this. The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang called the prince, threw a thorn on the ground and ordered the prince to pick it up. Facing the prickly staff, the prince felt very embarrassed.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This thorn cannot be picked. I'll clean it for you. Not good? The people I kill now are all people who may threaten you to be emperor in the future. I am doing you a big favor by taking them off! " It turned out that Tanghe was also a thorn in the side and was killed. But because of his vigilance and self-discipline, he was able to retreat quickly instead of greedy power, so he saved himself and his family. Its self-protection "experience" is remarkable, and it is not without "archaeological" value.
He has the support of Zhu Yuanzhang. In his early years, he worked for Guo Zixing with Zhu Yuanzhang, who was older than Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang stood out and gradually became a leader. Other generals who risked their lives together saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was the boss, and it was inevitable that they would not be convinced. Although Tanghe is "three years old, Mao is very restrained and Mao is very happy." At the critical moment, he took the lead in recognizing Zhu Yuanzhang's leading position, and Zhu Yuanzhang has always recognized this credit. He does not seek merit, but can treat injustice with a normal heart. When he made great contributions to Jiangshan, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately lost the first class merit and only picked on him once. Other people with the same conditions have made their names public. However, he was very cautious, never complained, never complained, continued to serve the emperor conscientiously and on thin ice, and made sincere and profound self-reflection to the emperor in time. Only then was he forgiven. A few years later, he wrote a letter to lord protector.
Be considerate of soup and cater to the emperor's mind of self-protection. "The emperor immersed in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is nothing in the world. He didn't want the generals to be soldiers for a long time, but he didn't contribute. " In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang began to feel uneasy about the old military attache, and Tang He fell in love with him. Without waiting for him to "drink a glass of wine to relieve the relieving", he was the first among many senior generals to ask for his own relieving. "He Yi said calmly,' I am a dog, a horse and a tooth, and I can't bear to be driven away again. I want to go back to my hometown, make a coffin market and wait for my bones. Da Yue. "Immediately allocate funds for Tang He to build a house in Fengyang's hometown, so that he can return home.
After returning home, he kept a low profile, never regarded himself as a hero, restrained his descendants and slaves, obeyed the law, was kind to his neighbors and did not give orders. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears had not relaxed their surveillance on him for a moment, and his every move would be reported to Zhu Yuanzhang. So he drinks and plays chess all day, travels all day, plays tricks on his grandchildren, never makes friends with local officials and gentry, and doesn't talk about state affairs, giving people the impression that he just wants to enjoy other things. Let Zhu Yuanzhang feel very at ease.
In this way, he lived strangely in Hongwu for twenty-eight years and died at the age of seventy. He was one of the few veteran ministers who could die well in the early Ming Dynasty. After his death, he was made the king of the Oriental Angels and made great contributions to martial arts. It can be said that he is extremely sad.
Zhu Yuanzhang is determined to kill all the heroes in the world. It is a historical miracle that the Tanghe River can be lenient under the condition that the nature is not leaking.
It can be seen that it was not a compliment to say that Tanghe was "sensitive and intelligent" in Biography of Tanghe in Ming Dynasty, which is also the reason why he became an "unusual woman".
