"Of course I have heard of the nobles of Huaixi." Han Du nodded, and asked doubtfully: "But isn't this talking about us nobles?"
Tang He burst into laughter and said: "The nobles are nobles, and the nobles of Huaixi are the nobles of Huaixi. The so-called nobles of Huaixi are those who followed the emperor to raise troops, conquered the north and south, and achieved great achievements. I can barely be counted as a noble of Huaixi, but I was granted the title of Duke late, and I am not as noble as Li Shanchang, who was named the Duke of Han* as soon as the country was founded. Therefore, there was a large number of nobles who gathered here at the beginning. Li Shanchang's side.
There are so many people here, no one cares about me at all. Of course, I don’t like them either. Since we both disliked each other, we gradually broke off all contact. "
Han Du was shocked by Tang He's news. He turned pale and asked, "Are these Huaixi nobles all military generals?"
Seeing that Han Du had revealed the key point, Tang He nodded with satisfaction and said quietly: "They are all generals who are good at fighting and have experienced hundreds of battles."
Looking for death... For a moment, Han Du couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. I deeply feel that Li Shanchang was really under the butcher's knife of Lao Zhu, and he danced like crazy. And all of a sudden, it’s been so many years.
You must know that Li Shanchang does not know how to fight, but he is a master of internal affairs. Even under Lao Zhu, there was no one who could rival Li Shanchang in managing internal affairs.
It is precisely because of this that Lao Zhu specifically compared Li Shanchang's achievements to Xiao He in the edict of founding the country. Firstly, it is to show that Li Shanchang's contribution is no less than that of Xiao He, and secondly, it is also to highlight that his ability to govern is no less than that of Xiao He.
Li Shanchang, who is good at governance but not good at fighting, will not be the slightest threat to Lao Zhu.
But Li Shanchang, who is good at governance and surrounded by strong generals who are good at fighting, is the biggest threat to Lao Zhu.
"He is looking for death." Han Du couldn't help but shook his head.
Tang He looked at Han Du solemnly and said energetically: "No matter who sees his actions, they think he is looking for death. But he is the only one who doesn't think so. Do you think it's ridiculous?"
Han Du was stunned when he heard this, and asked in astonishment: "Then what does he think?"
Tang He curled his lips and said: "He thinks that he and those Huaixi nobles were all knighted together. It is fate and friendship. It doesn't matter if they interact more casually or too closely."
Han Du was speechless when he heard this and didn't understand why this happened. Could it be that Li Shanchang is the legendary person with a high IQ but low EQ?
Hearing this, Han Du still didn't understand anything. He sighed and asked, "So this time, it was the emperor who took action?"
Tang He shook his head slightly and sneered: "You underestimate the emperor. Why does the emperor need to personally arrange this kind of thing? The emperor only needs to gently move his fingers at the right time, that's enough."
Also, if Lao Zhu wanted to touch Li Shanchang, it would be impossible to wait until today. As early as the Hu Weiyong case, Li Shanchang was dealt with.
"Keeping Li Shanchang alive is an opportunity given to him by the emperor for the sake of being his son and daughter. If Li Shanchang can change his ways from now on and cut off contact with those Huaixi nobles, he may still be able to keep this glory. Wealth. But obviously, he didn't understand the emperor's meaning at all. He also thought that he and Hu Weiyong had been dealt with cleanly, and he was completely unscrupulous in dealing with the nobles of Huaixi." Tang He sighed in a harmonious voice. , there was a hint of pity in his tone.
"Then this time, Li Shanchang must be finished?" Han Du asked in a daze.
Now there are only five princes in the Ming Dynasty: Tang He, Feng Sheng, Li Shanchang, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu. Now suddenly there is one Li Shanchang, which makes Han Du sigh.
Tang He snorted and said, "I have been following the emperor all my life, and I have never seen the emperor's purpose fail. What do you think? Besides, I'm afraid it's not just the emperor's intention... ."
After Tang He finished speaking, he met Han Du's eyes meaningfully.
Anyone else? Who. Who is so capable and can hide deeper than Lao Zhudu?
Han Du didn't believe there was such a person at all, and asked in a voice, "Who else is there?"
Tang He did not answer. Instead, he asked Han Du, "What do you think of His Royal Highness?"
"Prince?" Han Du frowned slightly, as if he couldn't believe it. Following Tang He's question, he said: "The world says that the prince is kind, and I also think that the prince is very gentle, just like the gentle and humble gentleman described by the sages. Same."
Tang He smiled and did not refute Han Du's words. He just said, "Yes, the prince is indeed kind and gentle."
"What's the prince's prestige in the court?" Tang He asked again.
Han Du subconsciously replied: "It's very high. His Royal Highness has been supervising the country for many years and handles government affairs in an orderly manner. The ministers all obey him."
"A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridiculed by others. If a person only has kindness and no thunderbolt skills, do you think such a person will have prestige?" Tang He stared at Han Du and said.
Boom~
A thunderbolt seemed to flash in Han Du's mind, and he was stunned. All the remarks in his previous life were combined with all the experiences in this life, and finally Han Du came to a conclusion. People all have a bad nature of bullying and fearing evil. If a person greets everyone with a smile, he will never resist when others press him step by step. Then this person may not get respect from others, but wolves that want to come forward and bite him.
And Zhu Biao just did it...
"Okay, I admit that I underestimated the prince." Han Du lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
Tang He smiled relaxedly and said: "It's good to know. I know that you have a close relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince is a king and will one day inherit the throne. And you are a minister, so remember not to do anything in front of the Prince. It’s too casual, remember that there is a difference between king and minister.”
"Thank you for the advice, sir." Han Du stood up and bowed solemnly to Tang He.
Tang He would not have said these words to Han Du at all unless he regarded Han Du as a relative. Therefore, Tang He lay on the bed and received Han Du's courtesy as a matter of course.
After this ceremony, the relationship between Xinguo Gongfu and Zhenhaihoufu became even closer.
Tang He nodded and said to Han Du: "I called you here today just to tell you. In the face of the chaos in the court, you must not interfere indiscriminately. Just sit aside and watch quietly."
"I remember." Han Du replied solemnly.
Back home, Han Du was still sighing. Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao, who always looked at everyone with a smiling face, actually had powerful skills.
Suddenly Han Du suddenly thought that since Zhu Biao was not as kind and honest as he usually showed, he was actually very scheming. So when Han Jingyun refused to marry him, was this guy's plan involved?
Han Du's face turned green when he thought that his sister might have been deceived by Zhu Biao. He stood up suddenly and wanted to go to Zhu Biao to ask clearly.
But after letting out a long sigh, he sat down in vain. "What can I do if I ask clearly? How old is my sister's child now? Can I still oppose her?"
"This damn fat man, the smiling tiger..."
...
The ensuing court battles intensified as time went by.
Han Du kept Tang He's instructions in mind and ignored the matter, watching the two parties fighting each other with cold eyes.
One side is naturally the Huaixi group headed by Li Shanchang. These people are very powerful. Almost all of them are marquises, not even counts. However, now that Li Shanchang is in prison, they are leaderless and unable to exert their full power. The other party surprised Han Du. They turned out to be some civil servants. These civil servants were not many in number and were distributed in various ministries. But when Han Du looked at them, he always felt that these people seemed to have something in common.
The more confused I am, the more doubts I have in my heart.
Finally, Han Du simply found officials who were from the academy and were now serving in the Ministry of Personnel.
"Can you give me a copy of the resumes of these officials?"
The official from the Ministry of Personnel took the note from Han Du's hand, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Sir, if you want, of course you can. However, I would like to ask you, do you want a general information from them, or detailed information?" ?”
"Huh?" Han Du paused after hearing this and said without hesitation: "Of course, the more detailed the better."
Unexpectedly, when the official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs heard this, he looked embarrassed and explained: "Sir, if it is brief information, I can find it here. But if you want the most detailed information, there is nothing I can do. "
Han Du's eyelids twitched, and he felt that this person was perfunctory. He said displeasedly: "Then let's keep it simple. Anyway, whatever you can provide is what you want."
Upon hearing this, the official from the Ministry of Personnel did not directly agree to Han Du, but suggested with a smile: "If sir wants detailed information, the student knows a place where it is available."
"Where?" Han Du felt a little impatient when he saw him resisting. But if you want to figure out what's going on with these officials, the more detailed information you need, the better.
Therefore, even if Han Du was impatient, he had to listen patiently.
"Prince Tan's Mansion."
"Zhu Zi? Why does he have detailed information about officials?" Han Du suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked hesitant, showing that he was thinking about something rapidly in his heart.
As the King of Tan, Zhu Zi holds in his hands more detailed information about officials than the official department. What does he want to do? If such a thing was exposed by someone, even if he was accused of having ulterior motives, it would be light.
And judging from the meaning of the person in front of me, Zhu Zi’s incident is not a secret at all, but everyone knows it? At least, there must be a lot of people who know.
"You will know when you get there, sir." The official from the Ministry of Human Resources did not explain in detail to Han Du.
Han Du came to Prince Tan's Mansion suspiciously, informed the guard, and stood waiting at the door.
Soon, a noisy sound came from the palace. Han Du looked for it and saw a large group of people walking towards the door.
The leader is of course Zhu Zi, who is better now than when he was in the academy. His appearance hasn't changed much, but his face is still handsome enough to make people jealous. However, the frivolity of youth has faded away as he walked, and he has become calm.
The only thing that impressed Han Du was that his eyes became more lively, and their glances were full of weirdness.
Han Du still remembered that when Zhu Zi first entered the academy, he seemed stern and perverse at that time. But now, Zhu Zi is completely masculine and upright. People can't help but like him at a glance, and it is easier to believe his words and deeds.
"Your Majesty, Han Du, pays homage to His Highness King Tan." Han Du did not give Zhu Zi a chance and bowed to pay homage in advance.
The joking in Zhu Zi's eyes flashed away, and he felt a little regretful. But he said with a smile on his face: "Sir, you're welcome, please get up quickly."
"Prince Tan's words are serious. I absolutely cannot call you Mr. Prince." Although Han Du straightened up, he still shook his head and objected to Zhu Zi's address to him.
Zhu Zi, with a smile on his face, tried his best to persuade: "Sir, why should you be too modest? In the past, Song Lian taught the emperor, and he treated him as a teacher. I am not talented at this age, but I am by no means ignorant of etiquette."
Han Du, however, insisted that he would not accept Zhu Zi's teaching ceremony, and said quickly: "Song Xueshi taught the prince with all his heart. But I only served as a teacher for a few days, which is not the same. Besides, the prince taught Song Xueshi the teaching ceremony. , that is the emperor's will. There is a difference between the king and his ministers, and I will never dare to overstep it."
Why does Han Du have to draw a clear line with Zhu Zi? That's because Han Du was shocked by Zhu Zi's actions. If this person who collected information from officials really had evil intentions, he would not be implicated.
So, don’t talk to yourself about the teacher-student relationship. As long as you don’t implicate me when the incident comes out, I will be very grateful.
Zhu Zi saw that Han Du was determined to do this, so he had to give up temporarily, stretched out his hand and said: "Then please invite sir to come into the house to talk."
Han Du followed Zhu Zi to the main hall, sat down and took a sip of tea.
Zhu Zi took the initiative and asked, "I wonder what important business you have here?"
Han Du was asked and didn't know what to say. But then he thought that since even people with low-level official positions knew about it, there should be nothing wrong if he asked directly.
Holding the teacup in both hands, Han Du asked: "I heard that you have detailed information about officials here. I wanted to find something, so I came to your place to try it out."
Zhu Zi immediately smiled when he heard this and said: "Yes, I do have this thing here, but not all officials have it, and some are not very complete. So I don't know which people you are looking for, sir. See if you can find it.”
Han Du took out the note and handed him the list of officials.
Zhu Zi took it and unfolded it, took a look, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are lucky. I have the information about these people here."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Zi unfolded the note and placed it on the table, as if waiting for something.
Han Du was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Zi strangely. Since he said he had information about these officials, why didn't he go find it immediately? Instead, sitting here, does Zhu Zi have a lot of time? Even though Zhu Zi has a lot of time, his own time is very tight.
Zhu Zi glanced at Han Du and immediately came to his senses. He smiled and said: "Well, since it is your husband who wants it, I will spare it for you this time."
"What exemption? What do you mean?" Han Du frowned and asked in confusion.
Zhu Zi suddenly laughed dryly and said: "It's nothing. Even the information I provide will require payment. Otherwise, there are so many people to support in such a big palace. If there is no profit, what will I eat? But since you are sir, I will not charge you this time."
Good guy, looking at the way Zhu Zi looked just now, he just wanted to take my money. He was really not polite at all. One moment he was talking about the relationship between teacher and student, and the next moment he was not lenient at all in collecting money.
Han Du looked at Zhu Zi clearly. Even now, after Zhu Zi had said everything, he had not really started to take action. He was still waiting for Han Du to give him money.
It's a pity that Zhu Zi is still lagging behind. How can he care about his face when asking for money?
Zhu Zi thought that if he said that, Han Du would consider his face and offer to give him money.
But he completely underestimated Han Du. Han Du seemed to have just reacted. He nodded lightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zi's breath was held in his throat by Han Du, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood. After a while, he responded with a flattering expression: "Then, please wait a moment, sir, and I will send someone to find it for you."
Han Du had an expression of anger and gratitude on his face, nodded towards Zhu Zi and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zi held back his breath. According to his creed, if you can't take advantage, you will suffer a loss. But facing Han Du, who was even more shameless, he could only swallow this loss forcefully.
He went out angrily, and even Han Du was too lazy to deal with it. He took the note to find what Han Du wanted.
As he walked away, he still regretted, "Sir, you are indeed a gentleman. I am still careless."
Then he muttered: "If you are thick-skinned, eat as much as you can... If you are thick-skinned, eat as much as you can... I must be even thicker-skinned in the future."
As he spoke, Zhu Zi rubbed his handsome face vigorously a few times, as if he wanted to make his face thicker, and also wanted to firmly remember today's lesson.
"It's okay. Every time you suffer, you will gain wisdom. Today is just a lesson. I will never be soft next time."
Han Du drank the tea in sips until it turned white. Zhu Zicai came in from the door with a pamphlet and a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, are things done?" Han Du quickly stood up with a smile and asked.
Zhu Zi smiled and handed the booklet to Han Du and said, "Everything you asked for is in it. Please keep it."
"Okay, thank you so much, Your Majesty." Han Du thanked him with a smile and stretched out his hand to take the booklet.
But when I wanted to take the book back, I pulled it but it didn't move.
Han Du lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhu Zi's hand, which was holding the book tightly, and then raised his head to look at Zhu Zi, who was smiling.
Don't you want to give it to me?
