Umar Shahei now felt extremely regretful. He should not have acted so rebelliously in front of the Ming Emperor just for a little face. That would not be a problem for Han Du to get caught. He blatantly confuses right and wrong, but it seems so reasonable to others.
However, he was extremely unwilling to be slandered by Han Du. He has been keenly aware that there are enemies of Han Du here. As long as he gives in, he may be able to regain the advantage.
As soon as he thought of it, Umar Shahei immediately knelt down towards Zhu Biao and begged with a cry: "Dear His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the foreign minister apologizes for his reckless actions just now. The foreign minister absolutely did not mean to disrespect His Majesty the Emperor. , the same is true for the Timur Empire. The defenders of Yilibaili City will never attack the Ming army rashly, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor will learn from it."
Han Du looked at Umar Shahei's actions and felt calm in his heart. Anyway, almost everyone in Yiliba died. Can anyone prove that they attacked the city first and what they were afraid of?
Qitai's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but ask Umar Shahei: "You said it was the Duke of Zhen who sent troops to attack you first? Do you have any evidence?"
Umar Shahi has evidence of fart. If he had evidence, wouldn't he have produced it earlier? Originally, he thought that this adult would not deal with Han Du, but now it seems that no matter how he does not deal with him, it is closer than his relationship with him.
Qi Tai was not in a hurry and continued: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Think about it carefully. Which one of you attacked the Duke of Zhen first, or did the Duke of Zhen attack you first? Don't worry, Daming is reasonable. As long as you occupy Reason, the emperor will definitely provide you with justice."
Um?
Han Du suddenly looked at Qi Tai, these young men were really evil-minded. Immediately interrupting Umar Shahei's thinking, "I am here to uphold justice for the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, how could it be annexed by others without any reason?"
After a pause, he then said: "You want to argue with me? Okay! I am the most reasonable. In my opinion, truth is only within the range of the cannon, and dignity is only above the sword's edge! I want to If you want to reason with me, then stand within the range of the Ming Dynasty cannon!"
Umar Shahei was afraid when he saw Han Du being so tough! He was afraid of a real war with Ming Dynasty. Now is the critical time when the Timur Empire is preparing to conquer the Ottoman Empire. If a war really breaks out with the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be nailed to a log by the Sultan and bleed to death when he returns.
Umar Shahe hesitated, he did not dare to anger Han Du anymore.
Qitai was thinking about cooperating with Umar Shahei and preparing to trick Han Du. As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from Umar Shahei. Looking back at the shrinking look in his eyes, Qitai's face suddenly darkened.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Biao said: "After all, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Since there is still an heir, why was it occupied by Timur? Please also ask the Timur Empire to give an explanation to the Ming Dynasty. Retreat!"
Umar Shahei's heart tightened. He never thought that not only did he not bring Handu down, but he also made the Ming Dynasty notice the changes in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. It's not easy to explain.
Han Du glanced at Qi Tai with cold eyes, laughed twice, and said nothing.
...
What happened in the court was quickly spread to the market. People are very concerned about Umar Shahei's rampage, the occupation of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and Han Du's words, "The truth is only within the range of the cannon, and the dignity is only above the sword's edge!" interested.
"Han Du is a war maniac. He wants to go to war. I don't think he will end well in the future..." Several scholars were sitting in the restaurant, chatting.
There are those who oppose Han Du's words, and naturally there are those who agree with them.
Another person had a different opinion and shook his head: "This has nothing to do with militarism. Brother Tan is from Jiangnan and doesn't know much about the border. Those barbarians outside the border only believe in force and not reason. If we don't convince them first, No one will listen to your reasoning. In our opinion, what Duke Zhen Guo said is not only correct, but also a wise saying!"
"Brother Liang, you are a student of the Imperial College, do you want to speak for Han Du?" Someone was immediately dissatisfied.
The student surnamed Liang shook his head: "We are not speaking for anyone, but the border is completely different from Jiangnan. If you still want to reason with those barbarians at the border, then you really don't know how to write the word "death"!
"But the academy bullies us and other Imperial College students. Has Brother Liang forgotten his identity?"
The student surnamed Liang shook his head secretly as he looked at the classmates who opened their mouths about their identities but kept silent about their Imperial College, opposing for the sake of opposition and never thinking about right and wrong. If you can't make these people understand through reading, they just oppose it for the sake of their position. What kind of books are there to read?
He keeps talking about serving the country and the people, but what he thinks about in his heart is how to get fame in high school and get an official position. It is simply a joke to expect that such a person can serve the country and the people after becoming an official!
The student surnamed Liang was directly recommended to the Imperial Academy, but now he is curious about the academy.
Compared with scholars, common people's ideas are much simpler. They feel that being well fed and clothed now is no better than the prosperous times in the play. Since it has prospered, then the Ming Dynasty should naturally be the supreme kingdom of heaven and be subject to the coming of all nations!
Of course, for such a powerful Ming Dynasty, he can fight whoever he wants. Han Du's words are very in line with the current mood of the people, and are sought after by countless people.
"The truth is only within the range of the cannon, and the dignity is only above the sword's edge!"
Komatsu Lingzi has been trying every means to intercept Han Du these days, and naturally these words reached her ears quickly.
"Did Han Du really say this?"
Hosokawa Mochizuki was shaken up, and he quickly bowed and said: "It's absolutely true. Countless people in the court heard it. This is indeed what Han Du said."
"It's really..." Komatsu Reiko's eyes had a strange light, and she didn't even notice that her lip was bitten by herself, "It's so overbearing that it makes people despair!"
Hosokawa Mokiyuki also fell silent. When he first got the news, he was even more shocked than his master. It even made him lose consciousness. If he didn't want to tell the master the news quickly, he didn't know if he would wake up.
"Master, Han Du... This person is too vicious. Otherwise, let's not look for him."
Komatsu Reiko smiled slightly and shook his head gently: "No, I'm even more curious about him. If I continue to inquire about his whereabouts, I don't believe I can't intercept him!"
Hosokawa Mokiyuki glanced at his master and sighed: "It's...master." His tone was no longer as relaxed and calm as before.
...
Umar Shahei was unwilling to go back. Although he was afraid of irritating the Ming Dynasty and leading to war with the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to bring justice to Yili City without irritating the Ming Dynasty. Combined with the scene he noticed in the court, Umar Shahei spent the next time busy in frequent contact with Qitai and other ministers.
Han Du couldn't help but shake his head when he heard that his words unexpectedly inspired the bloody courage of the people. After that, I stopped paying attention.
One day, Uncle Wu, the housekeeper, came to Han Du with a famous post.
Han Du saw it and asked in advance: "If you don't recognize whose name is it, then don't pay attention to it."
The smile on the butler's face made wrinkles gather: "My lord, I am from Fu Yong."
Fu Yong would prepare generous gifts and come to see him every New Year. Even if he is sometimes overseas, he will arrange for people to deliver gifts. Therefore, the housekeeper feels pretty good about Fu Yong.
"Oh?" Han Du reached out and took it, opened it and saw that he was invited to the banquet.
After thinking about it for a while, Han Du also felt that after staying at home for so many days, it was time to go out for a walk, so he put on his regular clothes and went to the banquet happily.
"Golden Wind Tower."
Han Du immediately understood and a smile appeared on his face. One look at this name, it is taken from "the golden wind and jade dew will conquer countless people in the world as soon as they meet".
Yes, this is a brothel.
Although Han Du can come and go from Jiaofangsi at will, it seems good to listen to music occasionally? It's like, if you are tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, wouldn't it be interesting to eat wild vegetables occasionally?
Han Du went upstairs and walked into the room, and immediately saw Fu Yong and Chang Hao standing inside.
"Greetings to the Duke. Congratulations to the Duke on his promotion to the title. The honor given by the Duke is really impressive to the common people."
"Hey, Chang Hao is here too." Han Du walked to the upper seat and sat down, motioning to the two of them: "Sit down, don't be unfamiliar."
Han Du was also familiar with Chang Hao. When he first sold securities and no one dared to buy them, Chang Hao dared to spend all his wealth to buy them, so Han Du naturally remembered him. After all, such courage is not something ordinary people can have.
Chang Hao also took this opportunity to skyrocket and concentrated on securities trading. His current net worth is not much worse than that of Fu Yong.
"Thank you sir."
Fu Yong clapped his hands, and a group of singers came in and started dancing.
In the room, there was singing and dancing on one side, and on the other side, the three of them were drinking and drinking. It was so happy.
After the dance, the three of them were almost done drinking.
Fu Yong secretly waved his hand, and the singer and musicians retreated, leaving only three people in the room.
Fu Yong picked up the wine glass and said, "Fu Yong is very grateful to you for taking care of me these years. I am brave enough to offer you another glass of wine."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Han Du responded with a smile: "It was you who were willing to gamble your wealth with me at the beginning. Now you deserve all this, and you don't need to take the credit for me."
"Hahaha, you are so proud!"
The three of them raised their glasses together and drank it all.
Just when Fu Yong was about to say something, there was a squeak and the door to the room was pushed open.
A bright-looking woman walked up to the three of them. Although she was wearing a Ming Dynasty lady's dress, her clothes were stretched very tight. Some places even showed a little white, which made people think!
Such a beauty made Fu Yong, who had seen a lot, couldn't help but be amazed. However, he was very dissatisfied with this person rushing in and frowned: "Didn't I tell you not to let anyone come? How did you do it?"
