Han Du didn't know what to say anymore, saying that he was self-defeating and shouldn't have brought Togu Si Timur back?
Zhu Biao suddenly realized what Han Du was worried about.
After coming back to his senses, Zhu Biao suddenly felt bad. "Lanyu attacked Yuan Fei's overlord, causing Yuan Fei to commit suicide. Isn’t this Yuan Fei the concubine of Tuogu Si Timur? Ordinary people still hate their wives and are sworn in, let alone the emperor?
Although the emperor Tuogu Si Timur is now a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, it absolutely does not mean that the Ming Dynasty can humiliate him at will. Whether Lao Zhu wanted to be the victor or use this to divide or win over various grassland tribes, Togu Si Timur played an irreplaceable role.
Such a Tuogusi Timur, not to mention being insulted, even Lao Zhu had to have people serve him carefully and satisfy his reasonable requests. '
Think about it, if Togu Si Timur knew that his concubine was insulted to death by Lan Yu, he would ask Lao Zhu to pay for her life!
Is this request reasonable? Reasonable, simply too reasonable.
The emperor and his noble family should not be insulted. This is the secular consensus! Otherwise, if even the emperor and nobles can be insulted at will, wouldn't it mean that someone would dare to rebel?
This is the most intolerable and intolerable thing for Lao Zhu.
Therefore, if Togu Si Timur proposed to severely punish Lan Yu, or even ask him to die to compensate, Lao Zhu would not only not object, but would even have to support it.
Because this is maintaining the majesty of the imperial power!
Although Togu Si Timur was already a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, he was still the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty so far.
Now Togus Timur doesn't know that his concubine has committed suicide. Once he knows, he will definitely not let it go.
When Han Du thought about what kind of trouble Togu Si Timur would cause when he found out, his head suddenly got big. He turned back and glanced at Togu Si Timur. If he had known that bringing this guy back would be such a big trouble, it would be better to bury him on the grassland.
When Zhu Biao saw Han Du turning back to look at Togu Si Timur with an extremely ugly expression, he suddenly became a little enlightened and guessed what Han Du wanted to do. After pondering for a while, he looked at Han Du and said nothing.
To be honest, Zhu Biao never thought that Han Du would bring back the Beiyuan Emperor. Although this is a great good thing for Daming, it is bad news for Lan Yu. There was originally a glimmer of hope, but now even this hope has been blocked.
Perhaps, only the death of Togu Si Timur would be a good thing for Lan Yu.
Just when Han Du was thinking about how to kill Togu Si Timur without anyone noticing, a group of Yiluansi guards arrived on fast horses, and the leader was Mao Xiang.
Mao Xiang came to Han Du, got off his horse, and knelt down directly to Zhu Biao: "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Get up." Zhu Biao raised his hand slightly to avoid Mao Xiang's salute.
Mao Xiang smiled and stood up, nodding towards Han Du, "I have met the Marquis."
Han Du saw that since Mao Xiang arrived, in addition to looking at Zhu Biao and himself, he also set his sights on Tuogu Si Timur again and again.
Han Du suddenly had a bad premonition and asked hesitantly: "General Mao is so polite. I wonder what the general is here for?"
"
Oh..." Mao Xiang seemed to have just turned around, bowed to the Fengtian Hall with his hands, and said seriously: "According to the emperor's oral instructions, please invite Emperor Tuogu Si Timur of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to come to the palace to see you. "
After that, Mao Xiang leaned in front of Han Du and said with a flattering smile: "Master Hou is really good at capturing the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the first northern expedition. Such a great contribution is really enviable by me. I don't know why. You are the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, please let me know?"
Sure enough, he came for Togu Si Timur.
After listening to Mao Xiang's words, Han Du couldn't help but narrow his eyes into thin slits and gave Mao Xiang a deep look.
However, Mao Xiang was not afraid of Han Du's eyes at all, and looked at Han Du without giving in. After a while, Mao Xiang rolled his eyes and glanced at Togu Si Timur.
The clothes of Togu Si Timur were different from those of Ming people. Mao Xiang had already discovered Togu Si Timur as soon as he arrived. The reason why he asked Han Du was just to ask Han Du to take the initiative to hand him over.
But Han Du never showed any sign of wanting to make friends, so Mao Xiang was rude. Directly looking at Han Du, he said, "Even if you don't tell me, I know who the Emperor of Beiyuan is. You have to befriend this person even if you don't want to."
Facing the aggressive Mao Xiang, Han Du could not resist the order in public. Then he pointed at Togu Si Timur and said, "This is the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."
When Mao Xiang saw Han Du giving in, he cupped his fists and saluted Han Du. He laughed and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
After saying that, he walked straight to Togu Si Timur, bowed and made a gesture, "The emperor is waiting to see you in Fengtian Hall, please!"
When Togu Si Timur heard that he was about to meet the Ming Emperor, a burst of courage suddenly came out of nowhere and filled his body. The original worries about myself and the fear of future fate have all completely dissipated. Now he is only curious about Zhu Yuanzhang and the upcoming meeting between the two emperors.
Glancing at Mao Xiang lightly, Togu Si Timur calmly ordered: "Lead the way."
Mao Xiang didn't feel the slightest discomfort or disgust when faced with Togusi Timur's commanding words. He quickly lowered his head in response and left with Togustimur.
When Han Du saw Togu Si Timur leaving, he looked at the departing figure and said, "I will also go to see the emperor."
Zhu Biao's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he quickly stretched out his hand to stop Han Du. He said with a sad face: "I'm begging you, please stop causing trouble, okay?"
"What do I mean by causing trouble? Don't you want me to plead with the emperor?" Han Du glared at Zhu Biao dissatisfied.
Zhu Biao looked at Han Du dumbfounded and said: "That was before, I didn't know you brought Emperor Beiyuan back. Now...well, you'd better not go, so as not to make things worse. Uncle's matter , let’s think of another solution.”
He said he was thinking of a way, but when Lan Yu's situation turned into this, what could Zhu Biao do? Originally, he came to Han Du because he really couldn't find a way, so he had to do it.
Now things have become more complicated, and it is even more difficult to get Lan Yu off the hook. Is there any other way?
Unless, he no longer wants the position of prince.
With Lan Yu's life on one side and the crown prince's position on the other, Zhu Biao really couldn't make a choice.
Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Han Du also made some guesses.
Find out what Zhu Biao wants to do. Without giving Zhu Biao any advice, Han Du just smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, things won't get worse."
Zhu Biao thought Han Du was just trying to comfort him, so he raised his head and smiled at Han Du without saying a word.
"I'm not just bringing back Togu Si Timur this time." Han Du straightened up, his back straight, and said confidently.
"What else?" Zhu Biao was shocked after hearing this. A Tuogusi Timur would be a big trouble. If Han Du brought something else back, Lan Yu would not have to live at all.
"The Imperial Seal!"
"Really...really?" Zhu Biao's mouth was trembling, and he subconsciously asked Han Du.
Then he felt that there was something wrong with his own question, and quickly added: "What I mean is, is this jade seal really the national jade seal?"
Since ancient times, jade seals passed down to the country have been disappearing and reappearing, and they have disappeared and reappeared again and again. There is a mixture of true and false among them. Without seeing it with your own eyes, it is impossible to tell whether it is a real jade seal passed down from the country or a fake.
"What Togu Si Timur said is true. The historical facts I have seen and recorded are consistent with each other. It should not be false." Han Du had no way to guarantee the authenticity of the jade seal passed down to the country.
It can only be said that, firstly, there was no need for Togu Si Timur to deceive the Ming Dynasty with a fake Chuanguo Jade Seal, and secondly, based on Handu's understanding of the Chuanguo Jade Seal, there was no sign that this thing was a fake.
Judging from these two points, the jade seal handed down by Han Du is at least 90% certain to be genuine.
Hearing that the imperial seal in Han Du's hand was genuine, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel a little moved and wanted to take a closer look. After all, this jade seal has been filled with mystery since the beginning of Qin Shihuang. Even now, to a large extent, the world regards the jade seal as a sign of destiny and the orthodoxy of the world.
Although the Ming Dynasty has been a country for 20 years, it has not been able to win the hearts of the world just because there is no national jade seal. This can be seen from the rebellions that often break out in Bashu, Yunnan and other places. If the Ming Dynasty had a national jade seal and was regarded as orthodox in the world, then these rebellions might not have happened.
A son is better than his father, and vice versa. Zhu Biao grew up next to Lao Zhu, and later served as a supervisor and assistant to the government. He knew a lot about Lao Zhu's thoughts.
Zhu Biao knew very well how much his father thought about the imperial seal. If Han Du really found the imperial seal and used it to claim his father's credit, it would really be possible for Lan Yu to be freed from guilt.
Seeing Zhu Biao's face full of joy and eagerness to try, Han Du said with a smile: "What? Don't you believe it? If His Highness thinks this is a fake, I can give you a look first to identify it."
When Zhu Biao heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly pressed Han Du's hand and said in a dumbfounded voice, "No, I don't have any research on this thing. Since you are sure it is true, then present it to my father."
Finally, I couldn't help but add, "You haven't shown this to anyone else, have you?"
"No." Han Du calmly shook his head and explained: "Although many people saw me taking this thing out, they didn't even know what it was. I have never told anyone, including Tang Ding, His Highness is the first person to know."
"That's good, that's good..." Zhu Biao nodded in relief.
