Han Du smiled, stretched out his arms, and said to Zhu Xi: "Your Highness, don't underestimate the strength of my arms, but do you believe it? I can lift a thousand catties with my arms."
Zhu Xi stared at Han Du, obviously not believing what Han Du said at all. He grabbed Han Du's arm and pinched it twice. He sighed and said, "You are a good person. You can make such good wine. Let's make you our friend. But please don't say that you can lift a thousand pounds with one arm." In this case, with your little arms and legs..." Shaking his head, Zhu Ping continued: "Do you know what an arm that can lift a hundred pounds looks like? It's as solid as a rock when you pinch it. It’s all dead meat when you pinch it, so forget it.”
Han Du was not angry at all when he heard Zhu Ping's somewhat disparaging words, but still smiled. I know you don’t believe it, and what I want is that you don’t believe it. Han Du did not intend to explain, and said directly: "What if I can do it?"
"If you can do it, I will satisfy your request."
Lao Zhu's voice was loud and he strode in.
Several people were shocked when they heard this. Everyone, including Zhu Biao, stood up immediately.
"Greetings to Father...Greetings to the Emperor."
"Everyone, get up." Lao Zhu smiled and waved, eliminating the need for everyone to salute.
Walking to Zhu Biao's position, Da Ma Jin Dao sat down, looked at Han Du with an interesting expression, and said, "How about it? If you can really lift a thousand catties, I will agree to your request, no matter what. how?"
The casual tone of Lao Zhu and Han Du's words shocked all the other kings except Zhu Biao who was not surprised.
You must know that they are the sons of the father, but even so, the father has always been a strict father to them. As they grew up, their father often beat and scolded them, so being able to face them with a straight face would be the best treatment for them. In their memories, only their eldest brother Zhu Biao had enjoyed the pleasant conversation their father had with anyone like this.
But now they actually see that the second person who can make their father and Yan Yue look at each other has appeared. What’s even more incredible is that he is still an outsider.
Several people looked at each other and felt a little disgusted in their hearts. Could it be that they and others were not as good as an outsider?
Although these kings each had their own thoughts at this moment, none of them dared to show it in front of Lao Zhu, let alone express their dissatisfaction with Han Du.
Han Du was very moved when he heard Lao Zhu's words.
Han Du was not naive, thinking that Lao Zhu said he could make whatever conditions he wanted, so he really could make whatever conditions he wanted. No one would think that just by relying on Lao Zhu’s words and asking him to give up the throne, he would give up, right? Anyone who dares to be stupid enough to propose such a condition will definitely still be sitting high on the dragon's throne in the future, and the grass on this person's grave will definitely grow taller.
The reason why Han Du's heart is moved is because of Anqing. Lao Zhu would definitely not agree to a request that was too excessive. But now that Lao Zhu has said this, can Lao Zhu agree to a request that is not excessive?
No matter what it looked like in the eyes of others, in Han Du's own eyes, the incident involving Princess Anqing was not too excessive. The most important thing is that such an opportunity is 'not to be missed and will never come again'. If he passes this village, Han Du really doesn't know how to talk to Lao Zhu about Princess Anqing.
"Is it finalized by His Majesty?" Han Du looked at Lao Zhu seriously and asked firmly.
Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this. What he said just now was just said casually, and he didn't even take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, Han Du took it seriously. But it doesn't matter if you take it seriously. Lao Zhu nodded and agreed, "I speak the truth and I will keep my word."
Han Du was overjoyed, it would be great if you just said this, and he quickly said: "Please allow your Majesty to allow Weichen to prepare for two days. Then the Emperor will see how Weichen can lift a thousand catties."
"Okay." Lao Zhu nodded in agreement.
Lao Zhu was originally reviewing the memorials in Fengtian Hall today, but today I don't know if the six ministers were sympathetic to the emperor, so very few memorials were sent to Fengtian Hall. Lao Zhu dealt with it three times, five times and two times. When he was bored, he remembered that the prince was taking care of his younger brothers. Thinking that they were working hard to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty, I came to see them.
Unexpectedly, Han Du was here. And just as he reached the door, he heard Han Du talking nonsense. Out of curiosity, Lao Zhu made the previous actions.
Lao Zhu nodded and agreed to the agreement with Han Du. He put the matter down without thinking too much and joined the prince in welcoming his sons warmly.
A few days later, Han Du reported to Lao Zhu that he was ready.
Lao Zhu did not forget this, so he summoned Han Du into the palace and asked him to demonstrate his feat of lifting a thousand pounds in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, you have a bet with Han Du, but why did you choose the concubine as the place to bet?" Queen Ma's face was flushed and her complexion was good. She sat next to the emperor and turned to look at him dissatisfied.
Lao Zhu gave Queen Ma a strange look. If you have any objections, you don't have to look. Anyway, I'm just borrowing your place, and I don't mean that you have to be here to watch.
Last time Han Du was asked by Lao Zhu to experiment with nitroglycerin outside the queen's palace. Although no one was hurt at the time, the nitroglycerin explosion still shattered a floor tile. The floor tiles in the palace are not ordinary masonry that can be patched up casually. They must be specially made. Therefore, in order to prevent this place from being unsightly and affecting the queen's mood, the eunuchs moved a huge water tank and placed it here to temporarily block it.
Now, it happens to be used by Han Du.
Lao Zhu saw Queen Ma sitting on the chair and was restless with excitement, but he did not expose her. He smiled and said, "I'm just seeing you recovering from a serious illness, so I'm worried that something might happen to you in your spare time. This kid Han Du is full of tricks and tricks, so wouldn't it be good if you just treat him like a show?"
Queen Ma frowned, obviously she had the same idea. Being exposed by the emperor, I felt a little unhappy. When I saw Han Du busy in the distance, I shouted loudly: "Han Du, are you okay?"
Han Du was adjusting the pulley block. If he wanted to achieve the effect of lifting a thousand pounds, how could it be possible with the naked eye? Anyway, Han Du couldn't do it by himself and could only rely on the pulley block. Han Du made some pulleys when he was building blast furnaces for steelmaking. But at the blast furnace, there was no need for pulleys at all. Just pulleys were enough. Han Du was lazy and just made some pulleys. But now if you want to achieve the effect of lifting thousands of pounds, pulleys alone are definitely not enough. A pulley set is necessary.
