"可~可~" Two big bowls of pointed meat fell in front of Li Jie and Tang Sheng. Then Tang He also served himself a bowl of meat and sat opposite the two of them. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

"Grandpa, did you really kill Lao Huang?" Tang Sheng looked at the meat in front of him and showed an expression of indulgence. Lao Huang was a dog raised by Tang He, who was older than him. When he was a child, he often played with Lao Huang. In the past two years, Lao Huang has become older and older. He has been lying in his nest all day long, and Tang Sheng rarely sees it again.

"If you kill, just kill it, just a dog. Could it be that you still want me to have a grand funeral?" Tang He glared at his grandson like this and said.

Tang Sheng didn't dare to say anything anymore. He silently picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, but he didn't dare to whine for a long time.

In contrast, Li Jie picked up the bowl and sniffed it, and then showed a playful smile on his face. He picked up the chopsticks and ate it. It was really good that the soup and the meat were cooked fragrant and rotten, and Li Jie also ate it all over the mouth.

"Grandpa Tang, I want to ask you something!" Li Jie said to Tang He while eating.

"What's the matter?" Tang He just cared about stewing meat into his mouth, not even raising his eyes.

"You have led troops to eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, and have also fought against Japanese pirates. You must know them very well, right?" Li Jie put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked.

When Tang He paused when he heard Li Jie inquiring about the Japanese pirates, he paused for a while, then looked up at him and asked, "Why are you interested in Japanese pirates?"

"It's not that I'm interested, but that there were craftsmen from Quanzhou in the workshop yesterday. Their family was killed by Japanese pirates. It is said that Japanese pirates have made a big fuss again recently, so I want to inquire." Li Jie also looked solemn at the end of his speech.

I saw Tang He chopped the last piece of meat from the bowl into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then wiped the oil from his mouth with his hands and said, "The Japanese pirates are like flies in food. Although they can't kill people, they can disgust them..."

With Tang He's account, Li Jie finally learned about the situation of the Japanese pirates in the early Ming Dynasty. In fact, it was similar to what he had expected before. The number of Japanese pirates was not large and their combat effectiveness was not strong. When they met the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, they had almost no resistance. After all, the Ming army at this period was extremely powerful, and even the Mongols were not their opponents, let alone the small Japanese pirates.

However, the Japanese pirates had an extremely headache, that is, they were too mobility. They could land from any coast on a small boat, and the Ming Dynasty's coastline was so long that they could not defend themselves.

At that time, Tang He also thought of taking the initiative to attack and directly find the Japanese pirates' nest to clear them, but the sea was endless and the islands were even more scattered. God knows where the Japanese pirates' nest is. It is said that only "a thousand days of thieves, no thousand days of thieves", so this small Japanese pirate actually messed up the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Almost every year, Japanese pirates landed on the shore and looted.

At the end of the story, Tang He suddenly stopped, then looked at Li Jie and Tang Sheng and asked, "Do you know what the most hateful thing I encountered when I was clearing out the Japanese pirates?"

"What is it?" Li Jie and Tang Sheng were fascinated by the sound of hearing it, and then asked in unison.

Tang He snorted coldly at this time, and a bit of murderous aura appeared on his face: "If it were just Japanese pirates, it would not be a problem at all, but what was hateful is that there were many people in the coastal areas who had an affair with Japanese pirates, not one or two, but countless. The reason why those Japanese pirates were able to be elusive was because these people informed them, which led to the imperial army being exhausted and in the end they worked in vain!"

Tang He also pounded the table hard when he said this. Compared to the Japanese pirates, he hated those scum who had affair with Japanese pirates more, but there were too many of these people, and they were hidden very deeply, just like mice in a cave, and they could not catch them even if they wanted to.

"Then why did they have an affair with the brutal Japanese pirates?" Tang Sheng asked a very critical question at this time.

"Hmph! People die for money and birds die for food. These people have great interests in affair with Japanese pirates, either smuggling or selling stolen goods. Many people even become rich families. After they have money, these people can even bribe officials and thus clearly understand the movements of the court!" Tang He said annoyed again. At that time, he had killed a group of people who had affair with Japanese pirates, but these people were constantly killed, and soon another group of people who were not afraid of death appeared. He had no choice but to do so.

Li Jie was silent after hearing this. In his opinion, the Japanese pirates had become a systematic problem along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. It was useless to kill a group of Japanese pirates and traitors. The most important thing is to find the fundamental reason for this problem. Only by solving this problem from the root can the Japanese pirates be completely eliminated.

Next, Li Jie asked Tang He about other coastal issues. Tang He was very patient with Li Jie and explained in detail what he knew.

However, when Tang He talked, he would occasionally look at his grandson Tang Sheng. He didn't think so before, but today when Li Jie came, he suddenly realized that his grandson had no advantages that he could show off except being honest and honest. This made him sigh secretly. They are all the same age, why are other people's grandsons so much better than their own?

Finally, after the conversation was over, Li Jie got up and said goodbye. Tang He also asked Tang Sheng to send Li Jie away.

"Woooo~" But just as Li Jie and Tang Sheng left, an old yellow dog limped over from the backyard, and his black nose was constantly smelling the smell of meat in the air. When he arrived at Tang He's feet, the old yellow dog rubbed his head against the corner of his master's pants, and his tail was shaken, looking flattering.

"You old dog, you don't usually leave your nest, you only come out when I eat meat!" Tang He couldn't help but smile when he looked at the old yellow dog under his feet, and then he took a piece of meat and threw it to the old yellow dog, "Eat it, this is the best yellow beef. The emperor strictly prohibits anyone from eating beef, but when he was a child, he killed the beef from Liu Caizhu's family and ate more meat than others!"

At the same time, after going out to say goodbye to Tang Sheng, Li Jie got on the carriage and felt a little uncomfortable with his teeth. He reached out to pick out a few strands of beef from the gaps in his teeth. This made him whisper: "The beef made by the old man is quite delicious, but the beef itself is too old. Could it be a terrible beef, right?"

...Divideline...

In Changsha Prefecture City and the inner hall of the Tanwang Mansion, various gold, silver and wealth, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are piled up together, making the entire hall look magnificent and spectacular.

On the throne of the hall, a man and a woman were hugging each other and crying. The man was wearing a woven satin robe and a nine-slit crown on his head. It was Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, and the woman who embraced him was of course Yu, the princess of Tan.

"It's all my bad health. If it weren't for the fault of my father and brother, I wouldn't have implicated my husband!" Princess Tan said regretfully while crying. She never dreamed that her father and brother would commit such a serious crime, and even they would be implicated.

"You, I, a husband and wife, what's the point of being implicated?" Zhu Zi wiped his tears and said, "The emperor issued an order to summon us to Beijing. He must have believed the rumors and asked me to blame me. I have heard that the Jinyiwei is famous for a long time. If you and I were in the imperial prison, there would definitely be no good result. I just died to express my innocence!"

"Husband~" Princess Tan hugged her husband again and cried. They had been married for many years and although they had no children, the relationship between the couple was extremely deep. Even if such a thing happened, Prince Tan never blamed his wife.

The Tan Wang and his wife hugged their heads and cried for a while. Finally, Zhu Zi finally made up their minds. They stood up and walked into the hall, pulled out the sword from their waists, and waved their hands to chop off several large jars on the ground. Then a stream of black oil flowed all over the ground, which was the hot turd oil commonly used in the army.

Princess Tan also sorted out her clothes, then raised a candlestick and walked to Zhu Zi. The couple looked desperate at this time. As early as when they received the imperial edict to summon them to Beijing, they were ready to commit suicide.

"Husband, in the next life... I will be your wife!" Princess Tan said to her husband again with a firm expression.

Zhu Zi took the candlestick with one hand and stroked his wife with the other hand and said softly: "Okay, we will be husband and wife in the next life!"

After Zhu Zi finished speaking, he was about to throw the candlestick into the grease on the ground. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a burst of anxious footsteps outside the hall, and then a eunuch panted and said: "District... Your Highness, another imperial edict has been issued!"

"What?" Zhu Zi stopped what he said when he heard this, and then looked at his wife. The couple were confused. Today they received the imperial edict to enter Beijing, so why did another one come?

However, before Zhu Zi could figure it out, he heard another burst of rapid footsteps outside. Then a Jinyiwei was carried in by several guards. The Jinyiwei looked muddy and could hardly see the human appearance. He was soft and had no strength on his body. If the guard had not supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Tan... His Highness of Tan Wang received the order!" The half-tired Jinyiwei saw Zhu Zi finally struggling to remove the bamboo tube on his back, but he had no strength to read the imperial edict at this time.

Zhu Zi was also anxious to know what was written in the imperial edict, so he snatched the bamboo tube and then opened it and found that in addition to the imperial edict, there was also a letter written by his elder brother Zhu Biao, which surprised him even more.

Zhu Zi opened the imperial edict, and the beginning was that Old Zhu cried out in a slight curse. Zhu Zi was first panicked, but then he showed a happy look, and the fear in his heart disappeared. Finally, he opened Zhu Biao's letter, and the more he read it, he became happier. Finally, he laughed to the sky and said, "The heavens are not the end of me! The heavens are not the end of me!"

"Husband, what was written on the imperial edict? Who wrote this letter?" Princess Tan was shocked when she saw her husband's crazy look, and then asked with concern.

Zhu Zi then remembered that his wife had not read the imperial edict and letters, and immediately looked ecstatic and wanted to show her these. However, an accident happened. Zhu Zi might have been too excited and did not pay attention to her feet. The woven satin robe she wore was too wide. As a result, she accidentally stepped on the hem of the clothes and fell forward suddenly.

Fortunately, the eunuch who reported the news was quick-witted and quickly supported Zhu Zi, but don’t forget that in addition to the imperial edicts and letters, Zhu Zi also held a candlestick for lighting. The candles on the candlestick also flew out in an instant.

I have to say that the candle used in the royal palace is of good quality. Seeing that the candle had been spinning in the air for a few times, the flames on it were not extinguished, and fell to the ground and rolled out far away. Finally, Zhu Zi and his wife rolled into the tinder in a horrified gaze!
