Han Du shook his head, this was not the way to praise him. Comparing oneself to the embodiment of Lao Zhu's great fortune is not only praising oneself, but also increasing one's weight in Lao Zhu's heart.
It is completely different from the usual flattery and contempt.
When Lao Zhu heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Monk Zongli sharply and observed him carefully for a long time. I saw that Monk Zongli was serious and didn't cheat at all.
Lao Zhucai laughed and asked: "Li Xiucai, are you mistaken? Han Du is just a sixth-grade official, and he is also a sixth-grade official who has been temporarily suspended."
What qualifies a sixth-grade official to be the embodiment of his great merit? Let alone a sixth-rank official, even a second-rank minister, or even the former prime minister Hu Weiyong, did not have this qualification.
"Amitabha, monks don't lie." Zong Lai faced Lao Zhu and looked into Lao Zhu's eyes fearlessly.
Lao Zhu suddenly fell silent.
Han Du took a careful look at Monk Zong Long and said with a smile: "Master Zong Long, to be honest, I admire you a little."
Can you not admire it?
Han Du asked himself that when facing Tianjie Temple, he was not polite at all. I originally thought that this monk Zongli must have complained about his treachery in front of Lao Zhu, but I didn't expect that he would actually speak for me.
This really requires a sufficiently open-minded mind to be able to do such a thing.
Anyway, Han Du asked himself that he didn't have such magnanimity. Han Du believes in, 'I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will exterminate the whole family. '
After hearing this, Zong Lai was neither happy nor sad about Han Du's words, as if it had no impact on him at all. He just laughed and said: "Master Han is also blessed with Buddhism. If you have time, why not come to Tianjie Temple for a walk."
Am I also blessed with Buddhahood?
A hint of cunning flashed in Han Du's eyes. It turned out that this monk Zongli was also good at talking nonsense. If I had any connections with Buddhism, why didn't I become a monk? Not only do I not want to be a monk who has nothing in common, but I also want to have more money, less things to do, be close to home, have a high position and have little responsibility, sleep until I wake up naturally, and count money until my hands cramp. '
Can a person like you also have the fate of Buddha? Haha, even in my previous life, I only went to the temple to offer incense on the eve of the college entrance examination, when I was cramming.
However, the old monk said that if he had a relationship with Buddha, he would have a relationship with Buddha. Han Du didn't bother to argue with him about things that were harmless to him.
Seeing that Han Du was silent, monk Zong Lai bowed to the emperor and said, "Today's sermon is over, I will take my leave."
"Li Xiucai, please."
Lao Zhu stretched out his hand casually.
When Han Du saw Monk Zong Lai leaving, he thought he had passed this test so easily. He didn't want to stay with Lao Zhu any longer and wanted to say goodbye and leave.
But when Lao Zhu saw the movement on Han Du's face, he knew Han Du's thoughts and said indifferently: "What's the matter with you? Why did you collide with Tianjie Temple for a female singer, and even Zong Lai was alarmed?"
What did you say? Did the old monk really accuse him of being cunning in front of Lao Zhu? Damn it, I thought that the old monk was a generous person, but he turned out to be a guy who smiled in front of his face but made a lot of money behind his back. He actually sued himself in front of Lao Zhu a long time ago, and even pretended to say good things for himself.
Really, I have never seen such a despicable and shameless person!
Lao Zhu looked at Han Du with a bit of resentment. Obviously Lao Zhu also thought that Han Du was so willing to help a female singer at all costs because he must have taken a fancy to the beauty of the female singer. Otherwise, which man would go against Tianjie Temple regardless of a woman he didn't care about?
Of course Lao Zhu has reasons to be angry. Han Du just asked him for a marriage. Although I didn't agree at the time, this is not the reason why Han Du can fall in love with him.
To be honest, since ancient times, no father-in-law has a good look on his son-in-law. What's more, when Lao Zhu sees Han Du now, he looks like a man who wanted to be his son-in-law but failed and went to find another woman in the blink of an eye. Where does this put Anqing’s face, and where does this put my face?
Han Du only thought that it was Monk Zong Lai who had accused him of being cunning in front of Lao Zhu, and he felt extremely resentful.
When Lao Zhu saw it, he said calmly: "When Zong Lai came to me, he didn't say anything except preaching the scriptures."
Um? Could it be that I misunderstood?
"Do you think that because he didn't say anything, he didn't sue you in front of me?" Lao Zhu bared his teeth and said with a sneer.
Before Han Du could figure it out, Lao Zhu added another point: "A person like him can express his meaning without saying a word. Do you know that he has not been here for more than half a year?" Have you taught me sutras here? Now you suddenly take the initiative to give me sutra lectures. In addition, things between you and Tianjie Temple are making a fuss these days. I still don’t know what’s going on?”
There is no need to say a word to complain, Han Du has seen something today. At the same time, I am extremely distressed. Is this how smart people like Lao Zhu express their intentions? As long as you express what you mean, there is no need to say it explicitly?
Does it have to be such a look and intention that makes people guess for a long time?
Lao Zhu doesn't care what Han Du is thinking, he only cares about the reason now, "So, you must give me an explanation today!"
Han Du saw murderous intent flashing through Lao Zhu's eyes and knew that he would not have a complete explanation today. Not to mention that he wanted to ask for a marriage, whether he could or could leave the imperial study room was still a question.
"Does Your Majesty think that I am really willing to confront Tianjie Temple?" Han Du raised his eyes and looked into the void, and said in a faint tone.
"Oh? Is there any inside story here?" Seeing Han Du's expression, Lao Zhu felt that he had wrongly blamed Han Du. After all, he had seen Han Du's feelings for An Qing with his own eyes. If Han Du hadn't been completely devoted to An Qing, he wouldn't have dared to propose marriage in front of me!
After all, everyone knows that proposing marriage to Lao Zhu while Princess Anqing is still engaged is almost a matter of life and death. But Han Du did this in the first place. If Han Du's friendship with An Qing was not deep enough, then such a thing would not be possible.
Han Du smiled, lowered his head and pondered, his face instantly became extremely solemn, he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty still remembers those people who secretly printed treasure banknotes, right?"
How could you not remember?
When Lao Zhu heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He wanted to catch all those damn mice and cut them into pieces. Those people not only plundered the wealth of the people and the imperial court, but also murdered his direct royal grandson. How can we not hate him? It's a pity that these people hide too deeply and too tightly. Even if Mao Xiang tried his best, he could only catch a few three-legged kittens. If you don't know what's going on inside, it's of no use.
