Seeing Han Du saying goodbye again, he was about to leave.
At the end of the day, Zhu Biao couldn't help but tell him, "Be careful about the matters regarding Tianjie Temple."
Um?
Han Du's expression condensed. Doesn't Tianjie Temple have nothing to do with Zhu Biao? Judging from his expression, this Tianjie Temple is a bit difficult to deal with. He asked in confusion: "Your Highness, how do you say this?"
Zhu Biao did not hide anything and said directly: "The abbot of Tianjie Temple, Zen Master Zongli, is a well-known eminent monk in the world. Back then, my father invited him to lecture on the altar. Later, there was an edict to grant him the title of monk to be a good person and control the world. Each religion is given the title of abbot of Tianjie Temple."
Han Du couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He didn't expect that the abbot of Tianjie Temple turned out to be a big BOSS. But even if this Zongli is in charge of the monks in the world, so what? I am not a monk, so I am not in his charge.
Seeing Han Du's disapproval, Zhu Biao's light words made Han Du feel like a bolt from the blue. "And he often went to and from the inner court to chat with his father, and the relationship was very close."
A monk was able to frequent the inner court and had a very close relationship with Lao Zhu.
The first thing that came to Han Du's mind was Yao Guangxiao. Isn't the story of Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di exactly the same as this situation? But obviously, Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di's affairs came at the back, and now Lao Zhu and Zong Lai are obviously Zhuyu in the front.
This is not a good thing!
Han Du, who has watched the TV series, still knows what Yao Guangxiao's status is in Zhu Di's heart. I just don’t know what status this monk Zong Lai holds in Lao Zhu’s heart.
"Your Highness, can you tell me how close the relationship between the Emperor and Zen Master Zong is?" Han Du hesitated and asked through gritted teeth.
Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du with an interesting expression, smiled and uttered a few words softly, "My father once ordered him to grow his hair and become an official, but he refused."
This short sentence made Han Du's heart freeze. Because Han Du clearly remembered that in the TV series, Zhu Di also made an intention to let Yao Guangxiao become an official, but he also rejected it.
Could it be that the relationship between monk Zongli and Lao Zhu was so close? Then why didn't he let Lao Zhu take action? Although Han Du couldn't figure it out for a while, he realized the importance of this matter and became nervous.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for informing me that I know what to do." Han Du bowed to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "As long as you are aware of it, I will find an opportunity to mention Fang Xiaoru's matter to my father."
Just mentioning it, Zhu Biao was not sure whether it would succeed or not. It would depend on Fang Xiaoru's fate.
Han Du got the news about Zong Long at a time when he was worried. Besides, regarding Fang Xiaoru’s appointment as an official, Han Du had already said everything that needed to be said and done everything that needed to be done. The rest is up to Zhu Biao, and he can't help at all.
He said goodbye to Zhu Biao and left the East Palace.
Returning to the Jiaofang Division, Han Du immediately asked Grandma Li to collect information about Zong Lai. Information about Zong Lai has been widely circulated, so it is not difficult to collect at all.
Soon, Han Du got Zong Lai's life story. But the more he looked at it, the worse Han Du's face became. This monk Zongli not only has a close relationship with Lao Zhu, but also has a great reputation among the people. Many people first became followers of Zen Master Lu of this sect, and then went to Tianjie Temple to offer incense and worship.
Han Du put the paper with Zong Lai's message on the table in vain, facing this two-way hexagonal figure with absolutely no shortcomings or blind spots. Even if Han Du is well-informed, he can't cope with it.
We can only see what we can do, one step at a time.
Since Han Du couldn't do anything about this matter, he had no choice but to let it go for the time being.
Another thing was imminent, Han Du found Fang Xiaoru.
"Brother Han, what do you want with me today?" Fang Xiaoru asked while tasting Jiaofangsi's wine.
This is also the same distilled liquor as Seafood House, even the name is the same, Shenxian Zui.
If you want people to obediently take out their money, sex alone is not enough, you must have wine to help you, and the best wine is drunken gods. After Jiaofangsi opened, Jiaofangsi and Seafood Restaurant were the only places in the capital where you could taste this fine wine.
"I was summoned to the East Palace a few days ago. In front of His Highness the Crown Prince, I mentioned Brother Fang's official appointment." Han Du said directly without hiding anything from Fang Xiaoru.
Fang Xiaoru was stunned when he heard this, clasped his fists towards Han Du, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Han, for the recommendation."
Then he smiled bitterly, "But His Highness has already recommended me to the Emperor. I'm afraid Brother Han's recommendation will not have any effect."
Han Du smiled and continued: "I am reporting to His Highness that Brother Fang's knowledge has reached its bottleneck, and now only an official career can make Brother Fang go further. His Highness agreed and said that he would find an opportunity to recommend it to the Emperor again. "
"Thank you for your recommendation, Brother Han. I would like to propose a toast to Brother Han." Fang Xiaoru became excited, although he knew that even if His Highness the Crown Prince recommended him to the Emperor again, there would be little hope for him to stay and become an official. But in the face of Han Du's repeated advances, he was also grateful.
Holding the cup, he lowered his posture and touched it with Han Du, then drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, Han Du continued to smile and said: "Brother Fang will stay in the capital during this period and wait for the news."
When Fang Xiaoru heard this, the troubled look on her face flashed away, she lowered her head and said, "Okay, okay."
The change in the expression on Fang Xiaoru's face naturally did not escape Han Du's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Fang, is there any difficulty?"
With a sigh, Fang Xiaoru simply said: "To be honest with you, Brother Han, if it hadn't been for Brother Han's recommendation, I would have stayed in the capital for at most three days and then prepared to return home... The emperor gave me the gift I have many gifts, but they were all sent directly to the countryside...and the money I brought was limited...Although this capital city is vast, it is not easy to live in..."
Fang Xiaoru was very embarrassed, and even a few complete sentences were broken off by him.
Fortunately, Han Du understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. He patted his chest and said: "This matter is simple. If Brother Fang doesn't mind it, you can live in this Jiaofang Department directly. If Brother Fang is willing, we can do it later." Ask someone to arrange a room for Brother Fang."
There are many rooms in Jiaofangsi, and there are dozens of them empty. It is more than enough for Fang Xiaoru to live in, and he can even choose where to live.
Fang Xiaoru is still a scholar, and he is a talented and beautiful woman who is talked about by people. He lives in Jiaofangsi, so he naturally doesn't have the slightest concern.
