Li Shou felt extremely aggrieved. In his opinion, Han Du had done something wrong, but now Han Du was oppressing him with his status, forcing him to pay tribute to Han Du.
This made Li Shou's anger surge, but he had no way to vent it in front of the emperor.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Li Shou thought of a way to make use of the topic. Before the emperor could speak, he glared at Han Du angrily and shouted: "Dong Zhenguo, you are creating specious rewards in the academy and turning the pure knowledge into a taint. What on earth do you want to do?"
When Zhu Yunye saw Li Shou deliberately blocking his words, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he calmed down and looked at the two of them calmly. His original intention of coming to Han Du today was to reconcile the tit-for-tat between the two, but now it seems that Li Shou doesn't appreciate it at all.
In this case, let Han Du teach him a lesson for me, Zhu Yunye thought to himself.
Without letting Li Shou see Han Du's power, he really thought that Han Du was afraid of him. He didn't even think about it. If I hadn't suppressed Han Du last time, would the Imperial College have been able to get half of the Jinshi quota? Go ahead and dream!
Han Du squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Shou, with a faint smile on his lips. He touched his nose with his right hand and said, "That's my father's money. I can spend it however I want. You can also set up one in the Imperial College Rewards, let alone 300,000 guan, even if you are rewarded 600,000 guan every year, I promise not to make irresponsible remarks."
"You!" Li Shou glared.
On the surface, Han Du's words were saying that he would not oppose Li Shou, but in fact he was implying that Li Shou was too lenient and scolding him for meddling in other people's business!
Of course, Li Shou understood that there was something in Han Du's words, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Swallowing these words like a fly, Li Shoupi mocked Han Du with a smile: "I have been honest and clean all my life, but I am not as rich as the prince of the country."
"What do you mean by this?" Han Du glanced at him lightly, "You have been honest all your life, do you mean that I have been greedy all my life?"
Han Du folded his hands in front of his belly and said with a faint smile: "If you think that I am greedy, then you can provide evidence. There is no need to sarcastically mock here or there. I have held many official positions. , do you want to check them one by one? Don’t worry, if you want to check, I will also help you. "
Li Shou's face twitched when he heard this. He didn't think Han Du would be greedy. Han Du's reputation as a philanthropist is known all over the world. Even if he told others that Han Du was greedy, no one would believe him. With Han Du's ability, he couldn't look down on the little money that Tan Mo had, not to mention that the Duke of Zhen's family was not something Tan Mo could accumulate.
As a last resort, Li Shou had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake: "Your Majesty's words were rash just now. Please don't blame me, Duke Zhen."
Seeing Li Shou defeated in one round and bowing his head to admit his mistake, Zhu Yunye secretly wanted to laugh in his heart. If he laughed out loud at this time, it would be too much and too cruel to Li Shou.
Zhu Yunye could only secretly clench his back molars and barely hold back. ??????????????????At the same time, I sighed in my heart, my uncle is really powerful, I am afraid that if my uncle did not take the initiative to retreat to the sea, I may not be able to control the entire court so easily... ...
"Haha, acknowledging your mistakes can make a lot of improvements. Mr. Li should think twice before speaking in the future." Han Du squinted his eyes and smiled.
It seemed like a simple sentence, but it seemed like Han Du was scolding Li Shou as a senior.
Of course, Li Shou couldn't help but feel the strangeness of these words, and he felt even more aggrieved.
He straightened up, raised his head, and stared at Han Du with red eyes: "Why do the academy students go around slandering the Imperial College? Please give me an explanation!"
...The explanation I gave to your sister! There was a coldness in Han Du's eyes. If you hadn't led the Imperial Academy to meddle in other people's affairs, why would you have conflicted with the academy students again?
"hehe......"
Han Du laughed subconsciously, turned to look at Zhu Yunye, spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, look, this is just nonsense between juniors. Is it worth bringing it to the imperial court?"
Li Shou never expected that Han Du would not argue with him at all, but would instead define the conflict between the two parties as a fight between juniors.
Zhu Yunye was also very surprised. He did not expect that Han Du would avoid talking about it and directly described the conflict between the Academy and the Imperial College as a fight between juniors.
There was another urge to laugh in his heart. Zhu Yunye widened his eyes and gritted his teeth to resist the urge to laugh. "Ahem..."
Zhu Yunye laughed dryly twice, then raised his head after regaining his composure, looked at Li Shou seriously, and said: "Li Aiqing, since this is a debate between students, let's just ignore it."
Li Shou was stunned for a moment. Of course, he was not willing to be messed around by Han Du like this. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, this is not some nonsense among students. The academy has set up rewards. This is ruining the literary style of the Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty!!!"
Li Shouqi's chin beard kept trembling, and he looked distressed.
Seeing his old eyes flashing with crystal tears, Zhu Yunye couldn't bear to reject him.
Han Du shook his head lightly and retorted: "The establishment of awards in the academy has nothing to do with corrupting the literary style. On the contrary, it encourages students to innovate and invent, and promotes the literary style of the Ming Dynasty. More prosperous.”
"Nonsense!" When Li Shou heard this, he turned around and stared at Han Du, "No matter how much you, Han Du, argue, I can't tolerate you today!"
Li Shou also went all out and called Han Du by his name, regardless of etiquette.
Han Du looked at Li Shou calmly. With Li Shou's hatred for him now, he might have killed his entire family just like that.
Zhu Yunye also lowered his head in silence and did not speak. This was Li Shou's knot, which could not be solved by violence, but he could not figure out how to solve it. He could only turn his head to look at Han Du and place his hope on him.
After pondering for a moment, Han Du slowly laughed and sighed: "Is the person with the most prosperous literary style in your mind the person who studied hard for ten years and then passed the examination step by step from scholar, scholar, and scholar?"
Li Shou stared at Han Du without saying a word, but it could be seen from his expression that this was what he was thinking.
Han Du smiled faintly, ignored Li Shou's aggressive gaze, touched his nose, shook his head and sighed: "If this is the peak of your literary style in your heart, then I will really feel sorry for you."
"What are you regretting?" Li Shou moved his lips a few times and finally asked.
Han Du looked into Li Shou's eyes, chuckled and said, "You regard these as the standards in your heart, but in the minds of most people, this is just a stepping stone to becoming an official."
