Fu Youde put the wine glass in his hand in front of him, looked at Han Du with a smile and asked, "You are about to go back, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Shaking his head slightly, Han Du said with a smile: "No, in terms of guarding one side, the boy is far inferior to the father-in-law, and he doesn't dare to play tricks on his own."
Seeing that Han Du was silent, Fu Youde thought for a moment, then held the wine glass and asked: "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong now. Although the Han army has defected to the Ming Dynasty, they are only intimidated by the huge military power of the Ming Dynasty. I I’m worried that as time goes by, this deterrent will gradually weaken, and something may happen.”
Hearing this, Han Du pondered for a while and asked softly: "Is this really possible? There are now more than 100,000 troops of Marquis Yongchang in Jinshan, and there is also an army in Peiping. Now that the cement straight road has been opened, the Peiping army can go north to Daning at any time. .These people shouldn’t dare to rebel again, right?”
"I hope so." Seeing that Han Du really had no idea, Fu Youde sighed and said nothing more.
Han Du wanted Fu Youde to say goodbye and prepare to return to Beijing the next day.
Lao Zhu's decree did not require Han Du to return to Beijing, but Han Du missed Anqing and the children he had never met. How could he stay in Liaodong?
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Lao Zhu did not specify the time for Han Du. He may have expected that Han Du would set off as soon as he received the order.
Han Du rode on his horse, braved the wind and snow, and headed south to Beiping along the cement straight road. After arriving in Peiping, we transferred to Dagokou, where a naval warship was waiting for Han Du.
Han Du was eager to return home, so naturally he didn't want to waste time by taking the land route.
Return to the capital.
Logically speaking, Han Du should go to see Lao Zhu first before returning home. But Han Du saw that it was getting late, and he wanted to see An Qing and his children urgently, so he rode home directly, preparing to visit Lao Zhu tomorrow.
Just when Han Du had just stepped into the house, Mao Xiang crossed the palace gate and walked to Lao Zhu to report.
"emperor."
"Say." Lao Zhu glanced at Mao Xiang lightly.
Mao Xiang lowered his head. Although he did not look at the emperor, when Lao Zhu glanced at him, he still felt a stinging pain in his back, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"Back to the Emperor, the Marquis of Zhenhai returned to the capital and went straight to the Marquis' Mansion."
After finishing speaking, Mao Xiang knelt on the ground quietly and waited.
Important ministers like Han Du did not come to see the emperor after returning to Beijing, but went home directly. This behavior can be light or serious. If the emperor wants to let it go easily, then he will fine him a salary. If he were to be investigated, he would not be able to get away with the crime of disregarding the grace of God, and he would have to shed his skin even if he died.
The purpose of Mao Xiang's visit this time was to test the emperor's attitude towards Han Du.
The emperor had lamented in front of him more than once that his lack of ears and eyes, his lack of understanding of the officials, resulted in the rampant corruption of corrupt officials in the court. He even mentioned in front of him the idea of changing Yi Luan Si to Jin Yiwei, which made Mao Xiang extremely excited.
You must know that he is the commander of Yiluan Division. If he is changed to Jinyiwei, then there is no doubt that he is the first commander of Jinyiwei. Mao Xiang was moved by the privilege of Jinyiwei to supervise all officials.
But just when he felt that he, the first commander of the Jin Yiwei, was confirmed, suddenly the emperor never mentioned the matter of the Jin Yiwei again.
This made Mao Xiang very puzzled. At the same time, he also thought that someone must have given the emperor some advice and gave up the idea of setting up a royal guard.
Mao Xiang naturally did not dare to provoke anyone who could change the emperor's mind. However, when he was about to stand at the forefront of power, he was suddenly suppressed, and his heart was naturally filled with anger.
But when he didn't know who changed the emperor's mind, no matter how angry he was, he could only hide it in his heart. In the days that followed, Mao Xiang secretly began to find out who had changed the emperor's mind.
After his unremitting efforts, he finally determined that it should be Han Du.
Although Han Du had no conflicts with him in the past, it was even said that Han Du had helped him a few times. But after knowing that Han Du might have been the one to advise, Mao Xiang still couldn't stop hating Han Du.
Blocking his way is like killing his parents. What's more, have you only helped him a few times?
But Han Du was not someone he could deal with easily now, so he took this opportunity to test the emperor's attitude.
Lao Zhu's eyes did not linger on Mao Xiang, he just glanced at it and then took it back.
He said calmly: "I know."
"I excuse myself." Mao Xiang heard this and quickly exited the hall with a calm expression.
Mao Xiang, who was standing outside the hall, let out a strong breath.
There was no anger, no punishment, just a simple word of knowledge. Mao Xiang felt jealousy in his heart. Why is it that you, Handu, are so lucky that even the emperor favors you?
As soon as Han Du entered the door, he was noticed by Uncle Mu. He quickly turned around and informed: "Master, Madam, the Marquis is back."
Han Du ignored him and went directly to his yard, only to find that An Qing was not here.
It just so happened that Uncle Mu came to see Han Du.
Han Du grabbed him and asked, "Where is the princess? Where is the child?"
Mu Da hurriedly said to Han Du: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. The princess and the young Marquis are probably in the west wing. They are the weird things that the Marquis made. The young Marquis is very strong. He was born with seven pounds and seven taels of money, so he is really a lucky big fat boy."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Marquis, the master and his wife asked you to go see the princess first, and then go and say hello tomorrow..."
Han Du was too lazy to wait for Uncle Mu to ramble. After listening to half of the words, he hurriedly ran towards the entertainment room he made.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I heard a voice like a silver bell, laughing endlessly.
When Han Du listened carefully, he knew it was a girl's voice.
I was a little surprised as to why Han Jingyun was here, but I didn't think much about it and stepped forward to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Han Du saw the situation inside the room, and his blood pressure suddenly increased five times.
"What are you doing?"
I saw Han Jingyun holding a baby and sliding down the slide, leaving a series of crisp laughter in the house. While laughing, he couldn't help but kiss the baby's chubby face.
Han Du finally knew what was going on with the noise he heard in the yard. It turned out that he had made his son, whom he had not yet met, sacrifice his appearance in exchange for it.
An Qing saw Han Du come in. She was sitting quietly aside. He quickly stood up and walked to Han Du.
He hugged Han Du tightly and said, "Husband, you are finally back."
Han Du originally wanted to step forward and take the child out of the girl's hands.
