'Not only Han Du, but whoever can give me a million dollars every year instead of thinking about asking for money from me all day long. If he wants to change the rules, I will agree to it. '
Lao Zhu wandered for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Mao Xiang still kneeling on the ground.
Then he said: "I understand, you can go down."
"I obey the order." Mao Xiang replied calmly and withdrew. Although Mao Xiang answered calmly, there was a storm in his heart.
The Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all impeached Han Du, but the emperor just said "I understand"? If it were other people facing this situation, even if they tried their best, they might not be able to save their wealth and life. But if it were Han Du, the emperor would just say "I understand" and forget it.
This is not cover-up, what else could it be?
Mao Xiang exhaled a long breath, looking helpless. I followed the emperor like this, and I still don't know if the emperor will protect me in this way. But how long has Han Du been here? It would allow the emperor to do this.
The next morning, the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached Han Du.
But Lao Zhu's reaction was very strange. He didn't say a word during the whole process. He just asked people to accept the impeachment memorial, and there was no more.
Several officials who impeached Han Du saw that their memorials were like sinking into the sea. They also kept silent about this matter, letting it be forgotten as time went by.
Today's hundreds of officials are not the same as those after the middle and late Ming Dynasty. In front of Lao Zhu, there would be no official who would say, "If you don't pay attention to me, then I will continue to report until you pay attention, or I will die." Remonse' such thoughts.
To remonstrate to Lao Zhu's death is to really only die and not to remonstrate.
Therefore, all officials stopped mentioning this matter before they understood the emperor's attitude.
Therefore, no official stepped forward to cause trouble for the Jiaofang Secretary.
Han Du didn't know that someone was impeaching him in the imperial court. He had been busy posting hero posts these days. Naturally, Grandma Li sent people to distribute invitations to wealthy businessmen. As for the invitation to the Duke's house, only Han Du personally delivered it.
Fortunately, Han Du invited not many princely families, namely Xu Da, Li Shanchang, Tang He, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu, and Fu Youde. But these people are still fighting outside. No one is here, and Han Du has nothing to hope for. It was just a token invitation because we knew each other.
Han Du didn't even send invitations to others he didn't know. Because I don't have a title, it would be rude to come to the door rashly, even if it's to send an invitation.
In this way, Han Du was saved the trouble.
It took Han Du a whole day to deliver all the invitations. Since he didn't have much contact with Xu Da, Li Shanchang, and Fu Youde, Han Du just sent the invitation and left without staying much. They just stayed for a while and chatted at the houses of Tang He, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu and others. In particular, Lan Yu's wife not only received her in person, but also promised that although it was inconvenient for her to go, she would definitely send a housekeeper there.
Seeing this sister-in-law complimenting him so much, Han Du burst into tears of gratitude.
...
The fifteenth day of this month is an auspicious day, everything is suitable, and don’t avoid bad luck!
Han Du came to Jiaofangsi early and looked at Grandma Li and others who were ambitious and wanted to make a comeback through this. Han Du said in a deep voice: "Today is the day when Jiaofang Si is reborn, and it is also the day when you all stand in a new position. Whether you can become an instant success depends on you."
"Excuse me, sir!!!" Grandma Li and others shouted in unison and bowed to Han Du.
Han Du nodded and gave the order, "Start!!!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately walked towards their respective places. Each of them had their own mission today.
However, as the red sun rose, firecrackers began to sound at the gate of Jiaofangsi. Immediately afterwards there was a burst of gongs and drums, and the two teams of lion dances kept jumping, which instantly attracted the attention of the passing people.
Han Du and Grandma Li were sitting on the third floor, watching more and more people gathering at the door of the Jiaofang Division.
"Sir, there are so many people here now, and our goal can be considered to be achieved today." Grandma Li was very happy. The Jiaofang Division can become famous in an instant, which means that her future life will definitely be better than before. Much better than that.
The preparations made by Jiaofangsi for today are not just firecrackers and lion dances, but also various acrobatics. All the things that the people like to gather around the street corner to watch were all invited by the Jiaofang Secretary today, trying to make the people watch from morning to night.
Where did the common people have the opportunity to feast their eyes like now? Naturally, no one was willing to leave, and the popularity in front of Jiaofangsi was growing.
Han Du leaned over the window and saw a crowd of people on the street in front of Jiaofangsi on both sides. I couldn't help but shook my head and sighed: "It's not enough."
Isn't this enough?
Grandma Li looked at Han Du in a daze, wondering what should be done.
Han Du ignored her blank look and continued to order: "Have someone move two tables out and place them on the left and right. You ask Yanxue and Xiangxue to stand on the table. Well, just wear cheongsam and high heels. Of course they must Put on your makeup.”
Han Du now felt annoyed when he thought about it. He should have thought of building two platforms at the door. Fortunately, there is no table now, so two tables can make do.
"Yes." Nanny Li agreed, but did not turn around to make arrangements. Instead, he asked: "Sir, if you have high heels, I can understand it a little bit, but why do you call that dress a cheongsam?"
How do I know why it is called cheongsam? Isn't it always called this?
"Then what do you think it should be called?"
After hearing this, Grandma Li's eyes lit up, she clenched her little fists and said excitedly: "Since the clothes are made by adults, why not call them Hanpao."
Korean robe?
Forget it, Han Du felt panicked when he thought of the Han lady who wanted to steal everything to give him a name.
"That's not right, that's not right, change it."
"Then let's call it Mingpao to show that this is my Ming Dynasty's clothes." Nanny Li thought about it and thought of another name.
"Whatever you want, the most important thing now is to completely establish the reputation of Jiaofangsi. Everything else is not important. Don't deal with these useless things." Han Du waved his hand impatiently and sent Grandma Li away.
Just when the people were watching the lion dance acrobatics with great interest. The door of the Jiaofang Division, which had been closed for many days, opened with a heavy creaking sound.
But it was so busy now that naturally no one noticed the sound of the door opening, and no one noticed the Jiaofang Secretary opening the door.
It wasn't until the handyman from the Jiaofang Department carried two tables and placed them heavily at the gate that people noticed.
