This is also the meaning of the question. Although Zhu Di is hostile to Han Du, he cannot make a fuss about such a trivial matter. What do you want Han Du to do.
On the contrary, Zhu Di also had to show his generosity as a prince and maintain the superficial peace.
And Zhu Di made fun of his own affairs, which meant that he wanted to get closer to Han Du.
But Han Du pretended not to know and changed the topic to the main topic, "Your Majesty, I have already transported the grain and grass. Your Majesty, you should order the grain and grass to be unloaded as soon as possible."
"Of course." Zhu Di nodded calmly, and then added as if unintentionally, "Do you want to deliver grain and grass here?"
Han Du did not speak when he heard this, but looked at Zhu Di intently. After a few breaths, he could not tell whether Zhu Di's words were intentional or unintentional. Then he smiled and said: "When I came here, the emperor gave special instructions. This batch of grain and grass is very important. I must see it delivered to Beiping City with my own eyes. Therefore, I hope that the prince will show his respect."
After saying that, Han Du bowed his hand to Zhu Di apologetically.
Entering Beiping City was naturally not Lao Zhu's intention, but Han Du's own desire to see the legendary Beiping City.
Peiping is indeed a legend to Han Du. Even in his previous life, he never had the chance to go in. Although the current Peiping is not as dazzling as it was after Zhu Di built the Forbidden City, it is still the former imperial capital of the Meng Yuan Dynasty and is worth a visit.
Zhu Di's heart suddenly surged, "Sure enough, the monk was right. This excuse for Han Du to enter the city made it impossible for him to stop him at all." Zhu Di never thought that Han Du would use the emperor to suppress him, and This reason is indeed impeccable.
Although grain and grass can also be delivered here, it is also possible to deliver grain and grass in Beiping City, and it is more secure. Even if Zhu Di has the opportunity to ask his father about this matter in the future, Lao Zhu will think that Han Du did the right thing.
"Haha~ It just so happens that you can stay in Peiping for a few more days. Peiping is naturally not as prosperous as Beijing, but it is located on the frontier and has its own unique flavor. You can enjoy it."
According to the long-established plan, Zhu Di directly followed Han Du's words without any dissatisfaction.
Han Du smiled and nodded, saying "Thank you, Prince".
Zhu Di didn't care. He smiled and said, "I happen to be returning to the city. Why don't you join me? As for the transportation of grain and grass, leave it to the people below."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Du also nodded and agreed.
At noon, Zhu Di officially set off back, accompanied by Han Du and Tang Ding.
Zhu Di never made a chariot when traveling. He always traveled on horseback. This was a habit he developed in the military camp.
Seeing Han Du reach out and quickly get on the horse, Zhu Di couldn't help but glance sideways and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you, a scholar, to ride a horse in style."
Han Du smiled and did not answer. But I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, riding a horse is not the exclusive domain of military commanders. The reason why scholars don't ride horses is because they are poor, not that they really don't want to ride.
Raising a horse these days is really much more difficult than buying a BMW in modern society. Nowadays, the price of ordinary horses in the Ming Dynasty ranges from forty to sixty guan, while war horses are twice as expensive.
If you buy a horse, you need a dedicated groom to take care of it, and the carriage also costs a lot of money.
Therefore, this horse is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Han Du's father was once a second-rank official, and his ancestral home was still in the capital. There was no need to save money to buy a house. As a result, the Han family had never bought a horse, and it was really unaffordable.
Since Han Du took charge of the Baochao Lifting Division, he often rides on horseback. Otherwise, this is the fastest means of transportation today. If you are forced to run away in the future, riding a horse is obviously much better than walking on two roads.
In order to save his life, Han Du also practiced riding hard.
Except for the former Imperial City and the current Prince Yan's Mansion, the rest of Peiping has been divided into squares one after another.
As he arrived near Beiping City, Han Du saw from a distance a majestic city crawling on the earth like a giant beast connecting heaven and earth. There is a flat river at your feet, and the faint mountains behind the city rise one after another, giving the entire city a towering momentum.
"It's so spectacular." Han Du couldn't help reining in his horse and stopped, looking at the city in the distance and sincerely admired, "We kind of understand why Qian Yuan established his capital here."
"It is indeed spectacular." It was not Tang Ding who spoke, but the unexpected Zhu Di.
Han Du glanced at Zhu Di strangely. This must not be the first time he has seen this Peking City, right? It was okay for him to sigh when he saw it for the first time, but Zhu Di had seen it countless times, what else could he sigh about?
As if he understood Han Du's eyes, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Although this is not the first time I have met him, I am deeply touched every time I see him."
Han Du subconsciously smiled and nodded in response to Zhu Di, but then he was stunned. He didn't know if it was his imagination. The aura of Zhu Di now was somewhat similar to the towering Beiping City in front of him.
"Let's go into the city." Zhu Di said to Han Du with a smile, then turned his head, pulled the reins, "Drive~"
Take the first step and head towards Beiping City.
Han Du followed behind and kept staring at Zhu Di for a long time, but he could no longer feel the same feeling as before. For a moment, Han Du thought he had just been blinded.
As they get closer and closer to the city wall, the tall and majestic momentum of the city wall becomes heavier and heavier on everyone's hearts.
The soldiers standing at the city gate seemed to be guarding a city built by giants, so small that they did not attract attention at all.
Han Du had to raise his head to see the tall gate building on the city wall. There was a stone plaque embedded in the doorway below, with the three characters "Qihua Gate" written on it.
As soon as he walked through the city gate, Zhu Di waved his riding whip and introduced to Han Du: "To the right is Mu Qingfang, where Taicang and the Ancestral Temple of the former Yuan Dynasty were located. However, the Ancestral Temple is gone now, and only Taicang is still there, and it is used by this king." Store grain. This Taicang is very big, and Benwang decided to put the grain and herbs you transported there. Following them are Yinbinfang, Renshoufang, and Penglaifang."
"On the left is Huanghuafang. During the Yuan Dynasty, many yamen were located here. The Mingshifang behind Huanghuafang was the Taishiyuan of the former Yuan Dynasty. The Guangmingfang and Baodafang in front were the places where the Privy Council was located. important place.”
Han Du listened with great interest. He didn't know much about Qian Yuan's affairs, so he could be educated by Lao Zhu. But even people like Han Du, who didn't know much about Qian Yuan, had heard of the Privy Council's famous name.
