Facing Zhu Biao's question, Han Du was silent for a long time, not knowing how to answer him. When Han Du first discovered that he was in the Hongwu year, he felt that he would be able to rely on his foresight to overlook the heroes and stand on top of the world. At least one of them who is on top of the world. But as time went by, Han Du slowly realized that he was wrong.
It's not that one's foresight has no effect. It is indeed very useful, but it doesn't mean anything. Since Han Du escaped from prison, he slowly found that he had lost his goal in life.
What exactly are you living for?
To revitalize the Ming Dynasty? Nonsense, this Ming Dynasty belongs to Lao Zhu's family, and it is not his own. What does it matter if he can revitalize it or not?
In order to make everything the sun and moon shine on belong to the Han Dynasty? This sentence is indeed very inspiring. But I was just a nobody in my previous life, and I felt ashamed to shout such a slogan in public. How could I continue to turn it into reality? Besides, I am not in a good place now. Although I am a sixth-grade capital official, as the saying goes, if a stone is thrown casually in this capital, it will hit ten officials, and nine of them will be dead. It is a sixth-grade one, and the remaining one may still be a fifth-grade one. A mere sixth-grade official is nothing in the capital, he is still a nobody.
To move the whole world with just one point? I am not Archimedes.
Fortunately, Han Du later met Princess Anqing and instantly felt that he had found his goal in life. Although life is boring, as long as she can appear in front of you, the whole world will be colorful.
If he really had to watch Princess Anqing marry someone else, Han Du would definitely find that his world collapsed at that moment.
Han Du thought a lot, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Zhu Biao still looking at him. Then he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, even I don't know."
Zhu Biao felt sad after hearing this. It is true that he and Han Du hit it off at first sight, otherwise he would not have simply taken Han Du to meet his father when he first met Han Du. Moreover, Han Du's talent was still vivid in his mind in the days that followed. Zhu Biao himself would be extremely excited if he could get help from Han Du.
It's a pity, it's a pity...
But Zhu Biao was kind after all. Although he felt a little disappointed when he didn't get a definite answer from Han Du, he had no intention of blaming Han Du. He just nodded and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I understand."
Seeing Zhu Biao's downcast expression, Han Du couldn't bear it, so he explained again and said: "Your Highness, forgive me, it is indeed difficult for me to distract him now. But if Your Highness is really thirsty for talents, then maybe Wei Chen I can recommend someone to His Highness."
"Oh? Is this person very talented? Tell me." Zhu Biao felt a little better when he heard that Han Du took the initiative to recommend talents to him. This at least shows that Han Du really can't distract him now, rather than being unwilling to assist him.
Although Zhu Biao did not think that the people recommended by Han Du could compare with Han Du. But he also knew that Han Du was a person who looked easy-going but was extremely arrogant on the inside. Naturally, he wanted to hear about the talents that Han Du could recommend.
"This person has great talent, and His Highness knows this person and is from the same sect as His Highness." Han Du said with a smile.
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head to think for a moment, looked up at Han Du with a wry smile, and said, "You're not talking about Fang Xiaoru, are you?"
"Exactly."
Zhu Biao sighed and said: "Fang Xiaoru has been recommended to the father a long time ago. Do you know why the father wants him to return to his hometown?"
Has anyone recommended Fang Xiaoru to Lao Zhu?
Han Du was surprised for a while, what was going on? Why did Lao Zhu, who was eager for talent, let Fang Xiaoru go and let him return to his hometown? It turns out that what Fang Xiaoru said before about preparing to return to his hometown turned out to be this?
"Why?" Han Du asked quickly.
"When Wu Chen and Jie Shu jointly recommended Fang Xiaoru to his father, his father indeed summoned him. He admired his solemn behavior very much. He also told Gu that he was a man with dignified conduct, and that Gu Yao He has been using him until he grows old. He has also given him many things and is preparing to let him return to his hometown." Zhu Biao explained.
Since Lao Zhu admired Fang Xiaoru, why did he send him back to his hometown? Is it just because of one reason that he wants Zhu Biao to use Fang Xiaoru again in the future?
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Han Du asked tentatively.
Zhu Biao didn't pay attention to Han Du's temptation. He frowned and said, "I really want to use him, but my father wants to send him back to his hometown, so I have no choice."
"No, I think His Highness should argue with the Emperor!" Han Du shook his head and said decisively.
Zhu Biao was very surprised that Han Du would have such an idea, and immediately asked: "Why?"
Han Du pondered for a moment, straightened out his thoughts, and explained to Zhu Biao: "Fang Xiaoru has great talents. Your Highness agrees with this, right?"
"Of course." Zhu Biao said without hesitation. He and Fang Xiaoru were brothers in the same school. After spending several years together, he knew exactly what kind of person Fang Xiaoru was and how talented he was.
Seeing this, Han Du nodded, looked into Zhu Biao's eyes, and said seriously: "The emperor wants to keep him to assist His Highness in the future. This is the Emperor's love for His Highness. But it is precisely because of this that Wei Chen feels that His Highness should pay homage to him." Your Majesty asks for permission to take Fang Xiaoru with you now."
"Why?" Zhu Biao expressed confusion.
Fang Xiaoru is naturally talented. Apart from anything else, he can see through his father's eyes. This alone can explain everything. Who is the father? That was from a commoner, through life and death, to an emperor who founded an empire. There are so many people and things that I have experienced in my life, what kind of people have I not seen? It can be said that if Fang Xiaoru had any shortcomings when she first met her father, it would not escape his father's eyes.
But at the same time, Zhu Biao himself thought that since Fang Xiaoru was so talented. Then he should go back and concentrate on studying for decades. When he dominates the world, it won't be too late for him to come out to assist him!
If Han Du knew what Zhu Biao was thinking now, he would definitely say to him: Time is money, my friend, a real man seizes the day in his life, and makes contributions as early as possible...etc.
"Your Highness, the world is like a new chess game. The world will not remain the same, but will be changing all the time. Working behind closed doors and concentrating on learning as if isolated from the world will not only not increase Fang Xiaoru's talents, but will change them. It will become a yoke on him." And as his influence on the world becomes greater, the changes in world affairs will inevitably become greater and greater. If Fang Xiaoru were really allowed to return to his hometown and stay in seclusion for more than ten years before coming out, then his outlook on life would be shattered. What's the point of talking about great talent? If it's not useless, then it's good.
