Lan Yu actually killed Timur?
If this is the case, then Lan Yu's death can be regarded as a well-deserved one.
"You're not trying to trick me, are you? Why have you never heard of such a big thing?" Han Du looked suspicious in his eyes.
Fang Xiaoru stared at Han Du's eyes and nodded affirmatively: "It is indeed true. Don't think about Timur's identity. Even if he is dead, he will not publicize it everywhere, and will even do everything possible to block the news. We can't Detection is also natural.”
"But this matter is absolutely true. If Tamerlane had not died, why would the army retreat after breaking through Jiayuguan?"
Han Du pondered for a moment and had to believe Fang Xiaoru's words.
At first I thought it was very strange that Timur had mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Ming Dynasty. He had clearly defeated Jiayuguan Pass, but instead retreated. Now that I heard the news of Timur's death, I finally understood what was going on.
Seeing that Han Du's expression softened, Fang Xiaoru took the opportunity to persuade him: "I know you are resentful of Lan Yu's death in the Jiayuguan Pass, but Timur also died in the Jiayuguan Pass. No matter how much resentment you have, it should be dissipated, right?" "
Han Du glanced at Fang Xiaoru and said with a straight face: "What? Do you agree with the restoration of the Ming Dynasty and Timur Empire?"
"This is not whether I agree or disagree, but it is the general trend." Fang Xiaoru said with a faint smile.
"The general trend? Haha, whose general trend is it? Who is qualified to make Ming Dynasty follow the trend?" Han Du said dismissively.
Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "That's indeed what I think. If you have different ideas, don't be angry with me. It was not me who proposed the reconciliation between the two countries, but Jie Jin."
"And I think he is very active in this. Now that the position of chief minister of the cabinet is vacant, it seems that he has great ideas about this."
Since Han Du was dismissed because of Zhu Di's incident, Zhu Biao has not appointed a cabinet minister.
I didn't expect that Xie Jin, a person who had just joined the cabinet, would have such ambitions for the position of chief minister.
"Where is the emperor?" Han Du held on to his last glimmer of hope.
Fang Xiaoru looked at him deeply and said meaningfully: "If the emperor has no intention of doing this, do you think Jie Jin will jump out to support it?"
Han Du nodded in agreement. Also, Xie Jin's purpose was to gain the favor of the Holy One, so as to pave the way for him to take the position of chief minister.
For him, it didn't matter whether he reconciled with Timur or not. What mattered was that he wanted to satisfy the emperor.
"I understand." Han Du nodded solemnly. It seemed that he had to persuade Zhu Biao to give up the idea of repairing with the Timur Empire.
Fang Xiaoru looked at him with a worried look and advised: "What? You still can't let go?"
Han Du looked back and said solemnly: "I don't care how Timur died, but Lan Yu cannot die in vain."
Tamerlane led troops to attack Ming Dynasty, and he deserved to die. But if he wasn't as smart as him, at least Lan Yu wouldn't have died. Therefore, this account still has to be settled on Timur.
Fang Xiaoru knew Han Du well and knew as soon as he saw his attitude that no amount of persuasion would be of any use.
"You have to know that the emperor is the emperor after all. If you...if you continue like this, it will not do you any good."
"I understand." Han Du replied perfunctorily, said goodbye and turned to leave.
He didn't promise anything or ask for anything. Han Du just didn't want to involve Fang Xiaoru.
When Fang Xiaoru saw it, he could only sigh silently.
...
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo wants to see you." Wang Yue reminded in a low voice.
After a few breaths, Zhu Biao raised his head and asked, "What is he here for?"
Wang Yue paused and whispered: "Dong Liang went to see Duke Zhen this morning."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What? Do you think Han Du met me because of Lan Chun's affairs?"
"I don't know. I just got the news and reported it to the emperor."
Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Wang Yue. When he saw him smiling and lowering his head, he couldn't help but ask: "Han Du usually gives you a lot of benefits, right? Why do you..."
"Your Majesty, this servant accepts the Duke's treasures for profit, and to be loyal to the Emperor is for justice." Wang Yue responded with a smile and lowered his head.
Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly when he heard this, laughed loudly and said, "Then you go and tell Han Du that I can't see him."
"yes."
...
"What? The emperor doesn't see me?" Han Du's heart sank suddenly, feeling Zhu Biao's determination.
Wang Yue nodded slightly, "The Duke of Zhenguo misunderstood. It's not that the emperor is missing. It's just that the emperor has been busy with government affairs recently and has no time to summon the Duke."
Doesn’t this mean the same thing? Being busy is just an excuse.
But if Zhu Biao didn't summon him, Han Du wouldn't be able to rush in.
Han Du looked deeply at Qianqing Palace and nodded heavily: "Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
Wang Yue looked at Han Du's back, let out a long sigh, lowered his head and turned around to report to the emperor.
"Han Du is gone?" Zhu Biao asked first when he saw Wang Yue coming in.
Wang Yue quickly stepped forward, bowed and said: "Go back to your Majesty, let's go."
"Did he say something?" Zhu Biao asked lightly.
"He said he would come back tomorrow."
Zhu Biao didn't show any surprise when he heard this, but he didn't express anything either.
Wang Yue waited for a while, but when he saw that the emperor did not give any orders, he could only try to ask: "Your Majesty, do you want me to stop Duke Zhenguo outside the palace tomorrow so as not to disturb the emperor?"
"No need." Zhu Biao shook his head slightly.
Wang Yue looked surprised. Could it be that the emperor was planning to summon Han Du tomorrow?
"If he comes tomorrow, just report it to me." After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he looked up at Wang Yue expressionlessly.
How is this going? Wang Yue couldn't understand the purpose of the emperor's move. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of the emperor looking over and quickly lowered his head and replied: "I obey the order."
Zhu Biao withdrew his gaze lightly. The reason why he was like this was because even he hadn't figured out how to face Han Du tomorrow. Should we continue to miss him or summon him?
Han Du came to the palace gate very early the next day, but he was still stopped by Wang Yue.
Han Du didn't say anything. He just said "come back tomorrow" and left.
This was the case for several days, and Han Du also tirelessly sought to see him every day.
On this day, before Han Du got up and rushed to the palace gate, Wang Yue came to the house with a sad face.
"My lord, your Majesty is ill."
Han Du didn't react at first. After seeing Wang Yue's confirmed nod, he quickly asked: "What did you say? The emperor is sick. Is it serious?"
Isn't this nonsense? If it wasn't serious, how could Wang Yue come in a hurry when the sky was still dark?
"What's going on? How could the emperor be sick when he was fine?" An Qing asked with worry on his face.
Wang Yue did not answer, but looked straight at Han Du and said: "The emperor has a decree. You can summon the Duke of Zhen to enter the palace!"
"Let's go!" Han Du hurriedly put on the python robe, got on the carriage and rushed towards the palace. In the Qianqing Palace, Han Jingyun and Zhu Ru were both there.
As soon as Han Du came in and saw Zhu Xi here, he immediately realized the seriousness.
He didn't have time to greet the two of them, so he quickly stepped forward to the bed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here."
Zhu Biao stayed awake all the time. When he saw Han Du coming, he waved his hand to avoid him.
He said to Han Jingyun and Zhu Xi: "You all go out first."
"yes."
Han Du turned around in surprise and looked at Han Jingyun. He saw a deep sadness on the girl's face, nodded towards him, then turned and left.
"Your Majesty, are you sick?" Han Du's mind was quick and he suddenly thought of something, and his tone trembled involuntarily.
Zhu Biao's face was full of indifference, and he could still laugh, "As you can see, my life is not long..."
Han Du's heart seemed to be violently tugged, and he trembled with trembling lips and said, "Why, how could it be possible? Didn't the emperor feel well a few days ago? How could this happen?"
"Alas!" Zhu Biao sighed heavily: "My body and bones have been exhausted for a long time. It is all thanks to the superb medical skills of my fifth brother. He has done his best to be able to support me until now."
Han Du couldn't believe it and said, "Your Majesty, I'm offended."
Then he stretched out his hand and put it on Zhu Biao's wrist.
Zhu Biao also allowed Han Du to take his pulse.
After drinking some tea, Han Du retracted his fingers and his face became extremely pale.
"It seems that you have also been diagnosed. I have a heart disease that is incurable, so you don't have to waste your efforts in vain." Zhu Biao smiled openly.
Instead, Han Du was immersed in grief and couldn't get out of it at all.
There is really nothing Han Du can do about his heart disease, and he is not a medical student. He may be able to solve difficult and complicated diseases that can be solved by ordinary folk remedies. But faced with such a problem as a heart attack, he had no choice.
"When did the emperor find out?" Han Du could no longer say what he originally wanted to argue with Zhu Biao, and was filled with reluctance to leave Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao was still able to laugh, "When you were guarding Xuzhou, I got sick once."
Han Du immediately frowned and asked subconsciously: "Since the emperor already knew it, why did he let King Yan go?"
Even though Zhu Biao knew that his death was coming, he still let Zhu Di go home. This was unreasonable! Isn't Zhu Biao afraid that after his death, Zhu Di will cause another crisis? Or does he think that if he can block Zhu Di once, he can block him a second time?
To be honest, Han Du himself was not sure about this.
"Fourth..." When Zhu Biao mentioned it, his face could not help but darken.
After a moment, he sighed: "What? Do you also think that I am a benevolent woman?"
Han Du remained silent, obviously he thought so.
Zhu Biao laughed, shook his head and said: "I let the fourth child go, not because I don't want to kill him. It is a serious crime of treason, and no matter who it is, he will die!"
"It's a pity. I'm already dying. I'm already dying. Why should I stain my hands with the blood of my loved ones?"
Zhu Di was really lucky and walked back and forth on Naihe Bridge.
But Han Du was also full of doubts: "Then if the emperor lets him go, aren't you afraid that he will come back?"
"I pardoned his sins and granted him America as a token of my kindness. If he raises another army, he will be a heinous person and everyone in the world will punish him!
"And with Lao Si here, no other vassal king dares to get involved in the throne. Because no matter who dares to rebel, even if he takes over the world, he will inevitably face Lao Si's counterattack. Can Lao Si surrender to me? How can you Do you think he will submit to other vassal kings?"
