After Zhu Zhu left, Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask Han Du: "You came here today not only to visit me, right? What's the matter? Just tell me."
"Your Majesty~" Seeing that Zhu Biao was discussing matters with Han Du again, Han Jingyun couldn't help but complain, "Did your Majesty look at what King Zhou just said before and then give him another instruction?"
Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly, waved his hands and said, "It's okay to just listen for a while, right?"
Han Jingyun glared at Han Du angrily, turned around and left, out of sight.
Han Du then said: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the cabinet have already made arrangements. Maybe it won't be long before they select the memorials. After the votes are drafted, will they stay in the house temporarily or send them to the emperor?"
Zhu Biao glanced back at Han Jingyun's back, and then his hands hung weakly on the armrests of the chair, sighing: "Let's put it in the cabinet for now. If I review the memorial now, I'm afraid Jingyun will be unhappy again."
Han Du nodded, "That's fine. According to my estimation, there won't be many memorials that require the emperor's approval. Even if we deal with them in a few days, it won't hurt."
Seeing that Han Du had finished speaking, he had no intention of leaving. Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything else?"
Han Du was silent for a moment and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, is it possible to close the net in Japan?"
When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately became energetic. He looked at Han Du meaningfully and said jokingly: "What? The princess came to the capital to ask you to let the Japanese country go. Don't you have any indication?"
"What should I say?" Han Du asked Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao immediately raised his hand and pointed at Han Du, sighing: "You really don't know how to show mercy to women. But I heard that the Japanese princess is also a stunning beauty!"
Han Du frowned and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, are you?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Han Du meant. He immediately smiled and shook his head, sighing: "Of course I have no thoughts about her. Firstly, I have Jingyun. Secondly, you have seen my body, and now my fifth brother is urging me to be restrained."
It's okay if not. Han Du was shocked just now. If Zhu Biao really had thoughts about Komatsu Reiko, it would be a shame to let the Japanese country escape. The key is that Komatsu Lingzi really slept with him, and Han Du didn't know how to explain it to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao read countless people, and instantly noticed that something was wrong with Han Du's expression.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked in surprise: "You...don't really have anything with the Japanese princess, right?"
Facing Zhu Biao's questioning, Han Du subconsciously wanted to refute. But he suddenly thought that if Zhu Biao really had thoughts about Komatsu Reiko, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
So Han Du nodded slowly.
Zhu Biao had no objection to the fact that Han Du was really related to Komatsu Reiko, but asked in surprise: "Isn't it right? You and her are like this, and now people come to your door to ask for help, and you can still refuse so cruelly? "
Han Du didn't know how to explain it. After being silent for a while, he could only say: "She is her, and the Japanese country is the Japanese country."
"How do you say that?" Zhu Biao asked curiously, raising his eyebrows.
Han Du took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The Japanese country has a wolf-like character, fearing threats but not being immoral! Before the Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese countries in the Central Plains were very respectful. Even if the power of the Song Dynasty was so great, the Japanese countries had never shown any respect for the Song Dynasty. No respect at all. Instead, I admire the Central Plains and have many contacts with him."
"But after the Yuan Dynasty recruited naval forces to attack the Japanese country, but they were buried under the sea due to a strong wind, the Japanese country thought that they were blessed by the divine wind, and no longer had the slightest respect for the Central Plains. This was why the Japanese country dared to kill the Ming Dynasty. Because of the envoys. In the view of the Japanese country, they have the blessing of the divine wind and there is no need to fear the Central Plains. Even for many years, the Japanese pirates have deliberately plundered the Ming Dynasty's waters, and now the Japanese country has not truly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Even in their eyes, The Ming Dynasty is actually equivalent to the unarmed people who were killed by them. They can be plundered and bullied by them at will. If we don't deal with the Japanese country harshly this time, it is best to destroy it. Then in the future, they will follow The expansion of arrogance and ambition may become a thorn in the side of Ming Dynasty!"
Of course Zhu Biao is clear
The strength of the Chu-Japanese Kingdom is far less than that of the Ming Dynasty, but as Han Du said. Sometimes the Japanese don't think so, they just believe what they see and hear.
"how do you want to do it?"
Han Du sighed and took out twenty-one items from his arms.
"What is this?" Zhu Biao reached out and took it, casually opened it and started reading.
"This is a treaty prepared for the Japanese country. I talked with Komatsu Lingzi. If the Japanese country can agree to these conditions, then the Ming Dynasty will not be able to let them go. Unfortunately, Xiaomatsu Lingzi refused." Han Du explained.
After reading a few items, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look up at Han Du, then lowered his head and continued reading.
After reading it, Zhu Biao looked at Han Du with a strange expression and sighed: "I think it's normal that she didn't agree to such harsh conditions. If she agreed, I think it's abnormal. What do you think? Anyone who offers these things will probably not agree to it unless they want to betray their country and seek glory, right?"
Han Du curled his lips and said, "Whether you agree or not is not up to the Japanese. As long as you beat them enough to hurt their hearts, they will agree."
This is not because I deliberately made trouble for the Japanese country, but because of the cycle of cause and effect.
At this time, Zhu Biao found Han Jingyun walking over again. He quickly put the things into Han Du's hands and motioned for him to put them away.
He sighed: "You have also seen my current state. Let's discuss this matter after I recover in a few days."
"Yes." Han Du nodded and put away the documents. Anyway, the Japanese country is now unable to struggle. A few more days and a few less days will not have any impact.
"Then, I take my leave."
Zhu Biao waved his hand, "Go ahead."
When Han Jingyun saw that his brother was about to leave, he smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you leave after eating."
Han Du shook his head, "No, An Qing is still waiting for me at home."
"Then, brother, walk slowly."
"Your Majesty, stay here, I will leave now!"
...
Han Du saw that it was still early, so he went straight to the Ministry of Household Affairs after leaving the palace. ..
Speaking of which, Han Du hasn't been to the transfer department for a long time since he took over the academy. Even if Han Du left the academy to be taken care of by the gentleman below, he was so idle that he never came.
Just as he entered and sat down, officials from the Ministry of Revenue, led by Wang Yuanji and Zhao Yu, all congratulated Han Du.
"Congratulations, sir, on becoming the first assistant bachelor..."
Han Du also waved to everyone with a happy face, "Everyone, get up, I've taken it. After you leave your duties today, you all go to the seafood restaurant. I'll treat you."
"Thank you, sir." Everyone thanked him.
Even among the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, many people only go to the seafood restaurant occasionally, and many people are even reluctant to spend the money to go there.
Since the seafood restaurant became famous, there have been countless imitators. Although these restaurants have been imitating, they have never been able to surpass the seafood restaurants. But they are better because they are cheap, allowing many customers who are reluctant to spend money to go to the seafood restaurant to try something new. Therefore, it is also very popular in the capital.
Han Du asked all the delighted officials to retreat, leaving only Wang Yuanji and Zhao Yu.
"During the days when I was away from the household department, nothing went wrong, right?"
Wang Yuanji is one of the most talented people in the academy, and he has served as the governor of a place for many years. He can be said to be a capable person who stands alone. It was precisely because of his presence that Han Du could feel free to hide in the academy and laze around.
But to Han Du's surprise, Wang Yuanji smiled bitterly after hearing this and said, "Sir, it really does happen. And it happened recently."
"Oh? What happened?" Han Du looked up in surprise.
Wang Yuanji hurriedly said: "Recently, because your Excellency has become the First Assistant Scholar, both the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War have made things difficult for the Ministry of Husbandry. The Ministry of War is even better, after all, there are not many places where they can control the Ministry of Hubu. But the Ministry of Personnel In charge of official selection, examinations, honors, etc. A few days ago, the Ministry of Civil Affairs came to conduct examinations to clear the officials..."
"What are they doing here?" Han Du asked subconsciously
Frowning.
The Civil Service Department is responsible for the performance of officials. Normally, they would not go to various ministries in person. They are all meritorious officials reported by various ministries and are evaluated and selected by them.
Now that they have come to the Ministry of Household Affairs in person, they don't think they are here to evaluate the merits of the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, right?
Sure enough, Wang Yuanji showed a wry smile: "They pointed out that several officials in the Ministry of Revenue did not have enough merit in the examination and they want to be deposed."
"Who are you going to depose?" Han Du's eyes showed a sharp look.
"They are all deposed." Wang Yuanji did not dare to raise his head to look at Han Du. He knew that his husband deliberately did not come to the household department and handed over all the affairs of the household department to him, just to give him the opportunity to take charge of the household department. To train him. But in the end, he managed Hubu like this, and he felt deeply ashamed in front of Han Du.
They are all going to be deposed... Does that mean that in the entire household department, not a single official will be promoted this year?
It's not a small matter to be promoted, but he is so willing to slap Han Du in the face!
It would be fine if the officials of the Ministry of Revenue could not be promoted without merit, but now they are being deliberately pushed aside despite their merits.
How could Han Du endure such bad breath? If you still swallow your anger, how will the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs be convinced in the future?
After Wang Yuanji finished speaking, he looked at his husband's expression. When he saw that he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but said softly: "Sir, the official department is deliberately embarrassing the household department."
Han Du glanced at him, shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't mean to embarrass Hu Bu, I meant to embarrass myself!"
"Sir..." Wang Yuanji hesitated to speak.
Han Du suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "What would you do if you were my officer?"
"Me?" Wang Yuanji immediately began to think seriously. After a moment, he shook his head slightly and sighed: "I'm the official... The official will start to report to the emperor and let the emperor make a fair decision."
