The next morning, Han Mansion.
Everyone in the Han family was drinking porridge and eating breakfast as usual. The breakfast at Han Mansion is extremely rich, including not only seafood stewed soup, but also various pasta and pastries. And now, there are new delicacies like French fries and hash browns.
However, these two kinds are what Han Kezhong and his sister like to eat. For Han De and Liu, such things can only be tasted briefly, and eating too much is not good.
The two little guys had their mouths full of food, and their chins and the table in front of them were covered with the dregs of French fries.
"Dad, mother..." Han Du walked in, greeted his father and mother casually, sat down in front of the table, and started eating by himself.
Han Du has changed from his previous habit of sleeping until three o'clock in the morning before getting up in the past few days, but he is still the last one in the family to get up, even his own children can't compare.
Hande glanced at his son, nodded and said nothing.
Seeing Han Du devouring the food, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Han Du's arrival made the two little guys immediately vigilant, and even their eating speed was significantly accelerated. There is no way, Dad also likes the food they like to eat, and Dad will fight for it from them.
Looking at the father and son fighting for each other, Han De sighed with a headache and put down his chopsticks, "I'm done eating, you can eat."
Mrs. Liu glared at Han Du fiercely, "Come here, bring this, this, and this."
Then she smiled at her grandchildren and said, "Let's go, grandma will take you in to eat."
"Okay, grandma is the best~" Han Du's daughter puffed up her little face like two little white steamed buns, quickly turned over and got off the chair, and followed her grandma in bounds.
"Dou Dou is still young, what's wrong with her liking to eat? How old are you and how old is she? You still have the nerve to compete with her for food?" Princess Anqing glared at Han Du angrily and kept scolding her.
Han Du originally never named his daughter, thinking that Lao Zhu would give her a name like a son, so he only gave his daughter a nickname.
Nickname: Dolphin.
An Qing wondered why Han Du had such a weird nickname, but Han Du explained: "I was born as a dolphin when I was at sea. The smartest animal in the sea is a dolphin. This nickname means our daughter Be smart in the future.”
Since he wished his daughter to be smart, An Qing said nothing more and happily accepted the name "Dolphin". And she didn't feel it at first, but the more she called it, the easier it became for her.
Han Du smiled and said, "How do you understand the joy of teasing a dolphin?"
An Qing got angry and put the chopsticks on the table with a snap, "That's your daughter, not the puppy you raised. Even if your daughter is being teased and bullied, is she still a human being? I won't eat it!"
After saying that, he stood up and turned around to walk out.
"Where are you going?" Han Du was surprised that An Qing's reaction was too big.
Children, aren't they born to play? Don’t you see that I often make these jokes with my two children, and they become closer to me?
Is it really good to be like my father, who always has a straight face all day long when facing himself or Han Shu?
"I'm so angry with you that I want to go out and relax." An Qing said angrily.
Han Du was amused by her appearance, "Won't you take me with you?"
These days, Han Duke has nothing to do at home. He just eats and sleeps all day long. As time passed, Han Du also wanted to go out for a walk.
An Qing was stunned. In the past, Han Du didn't like to go out. What happened today?
"Okay, but today I ask for sister Yaoyue. If you are okay, then come together."
"Why are you looking for her again? Hey, I remember that you have been looking for her too frequently recently. You just looked for her yesterday, right? What on earth are you two doing together?" Han Du frowned, I can't understand how these two women can be as good as wearing a pair of pants.
"Sister Yaoyue, please ask me for advice on some female celebrities. You don't know how good sister Yaoyue's female celebrities are..." As soon as Yao Yue was mentioned, An Qing started to talk a lot.
Han Du felt annoyance for no reason. He raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "Okay, okay, you can go on your own. I remembered that I wanted to see how the machine shop was built."
I don't know why, but every time An Qing mentions Yao Yue, Han Du can't help but feel guilty. "I and Yao Yue have nothing. Why do I feel guilty?"
Bah, it's shameless... If you still feel guilty when you have nothing, isn't that because you are hoping for something to happen? He also deliberately pointed out He Yaoyue's innocence... There is no three hundred taels of silver here...
An Qing looked Han Du up and down with a weird smile, which made Han Du feel terrified. Fortunately, Anqing didn't say anything and went straight out.
After An Qing left, Han Du patted his chest and looked extremely lucky.
"Brother, what are you feeling guilty about?" At some point, Han Shu came over.
"What's the matter with a guilty conscience? We have a weak kidney. No...what do we have to feel guilty about? You didn't know that your eyes could see that I have a weak kidney. No...it's just a guilty conscience..." Han Du was speaking incoherently, and his hands and feet were spasming and gesticulating like a dancing master. He wanted to explain to Han Shu, but the more he explained, the more people misunderstood him.
Han Shu looked at Han Du intently for a long time, then sighed: "Brother, don't explain, you're talking nonsense."
Han Du immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to continue talking. After a moment of recovery, he suddenly slapped Han Shu on the head, "Let the children take care of the adults' affairs."
"Brother, I am already twenty years old. I am an adult, not a child." Han Shu was still studying in the academy and had not obtained any honors. But considering his age, he is indeed an adult.
Han Du glanced at him and said, "The eldest brother is your father. We are your brothers. As long as we are alive for one day, you are just a child to us."
Han Shu didn't expect that his angry elder brother would be so unreasonable, so he started to argue with him.
Han Du took the initiative and said, "You said you are not a child. Do you have a sweetheart?"
"I..." Han Shu's newly rising momentum was instantly crushed to pieces. His face suddenly turned red, he lowered his head and pretended to dig at the rice in the bowl, never daring to look at his elder brother again.
Han Shu tried his best to avoid Han Du, but Han Du did not intend to let him go so easily. Is this the retribution for meddling too much? If you want to interrupt, just interrupt, if you want to avoid it, just avoid it? Where can it be so cheap?
Seeing Han Shu's face turned red, Han Du didn't know that he must have a sweetheart. He immediately asked deliberately: "You have a sweetheart? Whose lady is it? Tell me about it, and I will help you make plans..."
Han Du's expression said "Believe me, I am your brother and I will not harm you", which made Han Shu couldn't help but want to tell him.
But when the words came to his lips, Han Shu suddenly remembered that his brother seemed...how to say? She is very kind to him and thinks of him in everything. But it was not like Han Shu had never heard bad things about his brother outside, especially from his former classmates.
"No, brother, you are worrying too much. We are still young, so we don't have any sweethearts..."
Han Du glanced at Han Shu in surprise. It seemed that he was very interested in this woman and didn't even tell himself. But if you don’t tell me, there’s nothing I can do about it? If I can't cure you, little boy, then what qualifications do I have to be your big brother?
Han Du looked at Han Shu meaningfully and nodded, and said deliberately: "Really? In this case, you are already quite old. I, the elder brother, should also talk to my mother about your marriage and find you a well-matched match." A beautiful lady."
Han Du squinted his eyes and smiled, and there were threats to Han Shu between the lines.
"I don't!" Han Shu stood up suddenly and was about to object, but he was forced to hold back the words that came to his lips. If he opposes his elder brother now, wouldn't he be bringing it upon himself?
"I, I'm full, brother, please eat slowly..." After saying that, Han Shu lowered his head and ran out quickly, not daring to look at Han Du again.
Han Du turned around and looked at Han Shu who was staggering away with a smile. Judging from his performance just now, I'm afraid his sweetheart's background is not very good. At least she's not on the side of everyone's ladies, otherwise Han Shu wouldn't object so eagerly.
But Han Du no longer thinks highly of Han Shu and the girl. This does not mean that Han Du has a sense of family status. On the contrary, Han Du paid the least attention to family status.
But it is a pity that Han Du is only Han Shu's eldest brother, and his marriage can only be decided by his father and mother. "The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers" are no joke.
But my father was not as easy to talk to as me, "Bless yourself..." Han Du said to himself.
After eating, Han Du was ready to go out to eat. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he was stopped by a black carriage.
Just as Han Du reached for his waist, a head popped out from the door curtain and waved to him. It was Zhu Biao.
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao in surprise, pulled his hand back, glanced left and right, and jumped onto the carriage in two quick steps.
He bent down and walked into the carriage, sat down, and looked at Zhu Biao in confusion, "Your Highness, which song are you singing?"
Zhu Biao unexpectedly did not answer Han Du's words. Instead, his eyes suddenly turned red and he spoke with a trembling voice.
He grabbed Han Du's hand and said: "Han Du, I really have no choice, you must help me."
Han Du was shocked. He had known Zhu Biao for so long, but he had never seen Zhu Biao like this before. Although Zhu Biao was indeed a little too kind in the past, he was always confident and had a demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant no matter who he faced.
Even when facing Lao Zhu, he was able to quote scriptures and argue with arguments. In addition, he has been supervising the country's governance for many years, and has long developed a gentle, gentle and strong courage.
What happened to make Zhu Biao lose his composure like this?
Han Du's eyebrows quickly became serious and he asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't panic. Panic will not solve the problem. Calm down and speak slowly, what exactly happened?"
Zhu Biao took a few deep breaths, and his expression improved a little. He told Han Du what happened in the past few days one by one, "... Gu did not expect that the third brother actually hid soldiers in Mount Wutai. Ma, and was caught with real evidence. After his father found out, Long Yan was furious, and he directly ordered his third brother to be imprisoned in the mansion. Gu wanted to plead for his third brother, but his father also forked it. These days Tiangu asked to see his father many times, but was stopped by the guards."
"Han Du, you have to help Gu. If Gu doesn't help his third brother, no one will be able to help him."
Let me blanch... Did I not read the almanac when I went out today? Otherwise, how could such a mess happen? Han Du regretted getting on the carriage without asking clearly... This was not getting on the carriage, but Zhu Biao's pirate ship.
But the matter has come to this, and Han Du has nothing to do.
Sighing secretly, he glanced at Zhu Biao strangely, wondering if he was too self-righteous?
However, Han Du did not say this. After lowering his head and pondering for a while, he raised his head helplessly and looked into Zhu Biao's eyes, then asked: "Your Highness, King Jin is hiding his troops and wants to rebel... Then Your Highness Have you ever thought about who he is planning to rebel against?"
Zhu Biao's expression suddenly froze. It was not that he was unintelligent or that he had not thought about it, but that he did not want to think about the third brother's goal of hiding soldiers and horses to rebel.
He didn't want to think about it, and... didn't want to think about it.
But reality is not something you don’t want to face, so you don’t need to face it. Even if you are the prince, you still have to face what you have to face.
Since he found him for help, Han Du had the obligation to remind Zhu Biao and let him understand.
"To say that King Jin is planning to rebel against the Emperor, I'm afraid King Jin himself doesn't believe it."
Han Du got a little closer to Zhu Biao and said softly through gritted teeth: "If you give King Jin a hundred courages, he won't dare to rebel against the emperor. He is hiding his troops now... He is trying to harm you, the crown prince." On the contrary."
Han Du was worried that Zhu Biao could not figure out the source of the matter, and he also wanted to give Zhu Biao a try.
Everyone in the world says that Zhu Biao is kind, but people's hearts are separated from each other. Until the most critical moment, who can say that he can completely see a person clearly?
"The Duke of Zhou was afraid of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the truth in his life?"
Since Han Du has decided to support Zhu Biao, he must at least have an understanding of Zhu Biao's true character. You cannot just follow what others say and believe what others say.
If that's the case, then he was really sold and counted money for others, and he didn't even know how he died.
Han Du was waiting, waiting for Zhu Biao's answer. Then judging by Zhu Biao's answer, we should support Zhu Biao to the end without any regrets. It is better to gradually distance from Zhu Biao and stop losses in time.
Although Zhu Biao did have a life-saving kindness that he had to repay, there were many ways to repay the kindness, and it didn't necessarily have to cost him his life and fortune.
Zhu Biao also understood that the troops and horses prepared by the third brother were definitely not prepared by his father, but must be prepared for him, the prince, the imperial brother, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the future emperor.
Facing his younger brother who has made it clear that he will rebel against him, how should Zhu Biao choose?
...After a long silence, Zhu Biao took a deep breath and said: "After Gu Rong ascends to Dabao, if the third brother rebels against Gu, Gu can arrest him, cut off his vassal state, and imprison him in the capital until He will die of old age. But I will not kill him, and I will not let him be killed by my father now."
"He...is Gu's biological brother after all..."
Han Du looked at Zhu Biao and pondered for a moment, and when he saw his firm look, he couldn't help but clapped his hands, "Your Highness is affectionate and righteous, has thunderous skills, and has the kindness of an elder brother. It is indeed good, very good, very good. "
Han Du really admired Zhu Biao. If ordinary people heard that his brother was preparing to rebel against him, they would probably be tempted to kill him.
After all, there is no family affection in front of the throne. How many people in history have even tortured their fathers and sons to death in order to become emperors. What does it mean to kill a younger brother?
Old Zhu gave birth to more than twenty princes. Zhu Biao killed one of the third princes, and there were still more than twenty. Even if they are biological brothers, there is more than just Zhu Fan.
But Zhu Biao just didn't prepare to kill Zhu Fan... If that's all, it can only show that Zhu Biao is too weak.
But at the same time, Zhu Biao was not prepared to be soft on the rebels. He reduced the vassal status, removed the nobility, and imprisoned the rebels. These were his punishments for the rebels. The typical death penalty could be avoided, but the life penalty could not be escaped.
This is good, only in this way can we frighten the minds of other kings who are ready to make a move.
It is precisely because of this that Han Du happily clapped and celebrated, because Zhu Biao's approach completely agreed with Han Du's ideas.
"Stop talking about these useless things. Now the third brother is scared out of his mind by the father. You don't know that now even Gu wants to see him. He has been crying and howling in the house all day and night. Let Gu be like this As an elder brother... I can't bear it." Zhu Biao said, his voice deepening.
You deserve it, you should cry to death... Han Du sat on the cushion with a prickly look, curling his lips with an indifferent attitude.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao gathered up his depressed mood and sighed: "I know you have opinions about Third Brother, but now is not the time to talk about it. You'd better find a way to save Third Brother first. I'm begging you." .”
Now that the words have come to this point, if Han Du remains indifferent, it would be too disrespectful to take Zhu Biao seriously.
After coughing twice, Han Du said: "Your Highness, put it down. Although King Jin has made a big mistake, the Emperor will not kill him. Imprisoning him in the palace now and doing all these are just to scare him." Just scare King Jin so that he can remember."
"Father is really not scaring my third brother. Father is really furious this time. If you have a way, please tell me quickly. If there is really no way, you can think of other options." Although Zhu Biao said so. That being said, he has the greatest expectations for Han Du in his heart. If even Han Du couldn't do anything, then he didn't know who else he could go to.
Han Du quickly raised his hand to stop Zhu Biao's words and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you think you know the Emperor well enough?"
Zhu Biao didn't know why Han Du asked this, but he still shook his head subconsciously as an answer.
"In your opinion, who knows the emperor best in the world?" Han Du asked again with a smile.
Zhu Biao pondered for a while, then slowly raised his head and said, "If anyone in the world understands my father best, it is certainly the queen mother."
"Correct answer." Han Du clapped his hands happily, "It's a pity that there is no reward."
Seeing Zhu Biao's puzzled face, Han Du had no choice but to continue explaining: "The Queen knows the Emperor best, but did the Queen say anything after the Emperor grounded King Jin?"
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that his mother didn't seem to have said a word about this matter from beginning to end.
"No......"
Hearing Zhu Biao's answer, the smile on Han Du's face grew stronger and he said slowly: "The King of Jin is also the Queen's biological flesh and blood. The Queen's love for the King of Jin is probably no less than that of His Highness."
Zhu Biao nodded secretly when he heard this. This is absolutely true. The queen mother treated all of their brothers equally, and would not favor anyone or dislike anyone.
"If His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is in danger of his life, do you think the Queen can remain as she is now, ignoring the matter and not saying a word?" Han Du said meaningfully.
Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Han Du with trembling fingers excitedly: "You mean, you mean..."
Han Du shrugged, spread his hands, and said: "So I say that the emperor must have never thought about doing anything to King Jin. At most, he just wanted to scare him so that he would have a long memory. If it really costs his life , the Queen will definitely stop the Emperor before you do."
Are you kidding me? No matter how good Queen Ma is, she can't just watch her son die, right?
After Zhu Biao heard Han Du's words, the depression in his heart over the past few days was suddenly cleared away. Originally, he wanted Han Du to find a way to intercede for his third brother. Now, although Han Du did not intercede for his third brother, the effect of this enlightenment was even greater than going to his father to intercede with him.
"You really have a way, I'm right to come to you alone."
I hope you will never think of me next time you encounter something like this... Han Du thought to himself.
Seeing Zhu Biao's grateful gaze towards him, Han Du immediately smiled and shook his head, and said modestly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is overly complimentary. His Highness is just a fan of the authorities and did not think carefully in his panic. And I just took advantage of the bystanders. Not worth mentioning."
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, accepting Han Du's statement.
Since the third brother's life would not be in danger, Zhu Biao was relieved. Looking up at Han Du in front of him, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to bring Han Du into the palace and ask him to come up with a solution and then go together to seek an audience with his father. Since there is no need to worry about the third brother now, there is no need to ask the father anymore.
Therefore, Handu is useless...
Zhu Biao wanted to put Han Du off the carriage, but he felt a little embarrassed. If Han Du is kicked off the carriage at this moment, wouldn't it appear that he is too eager for quick success?
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao and understood his difficulty, and took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, since the matter is over, it's time for me to go back. I also want to see what the mechanical workshop is like. Woolen cloth."
"You can go to the viewing workshop anytime. Since you are here today, let's just go to the East Palace with Gu. I haven't seen you for a few days, and Jingyun misses you a little. It just so happens that you can talk to her and relax. ." Zhu Biao found a reason that was not a reason, and finally brought Han Du into the palace.
Han Duming knew that Zhu Biao had nothing to say, and it was not easy to expose him at this time, so he had to follow him to the East Palace.
