Tang He was not among the six founding Dukes of the Ming Dynasty mainly because he drank and got into trouble.
First of all, history does not clearly explain the reason. Secondly, according to analysis by netizens, the reason Tang He was not named one of the six founding Dukes of the Ming Dynasty was because he often made mistakes while drinking. This kind of drinking mistake is particularly easy to offend people. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was offended, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not name Tang He as one of the six founding Dukes. Although this speculation is not entirely correct, it also makes sense.
