The academy award selection is approaching, and Han Du has been very busy these days.
His original intention in setting up this award was to imitate the global awards of later generations. On the one hand, this reward is used to inspire the invention and creativity of Ming Dynasty talents, and on the other hand, it is also used to attract talents from all over the world.
That's why Han Du insisted on setting the reward amount at 100,000 yuan.
Since this was the first award selection, of course he wanted to become famous instantly, become famous all over the world, and set a monument for future generations.
Therefore, Handu will never allow any problems in this first award selection.
It must be done fairly, justly and openly!
Even though Yu Qian was also participating in the selection, Han Du never thought of seeking personal gain for him.
In everything, put the overall situation first!
But Han Du never expected that just when he was so busy that smoke was coming out of his head, Zhu Zhanji would quietly break into his house.
"Mr. Zhenguo, please come and be well!"
Han Du looked at the eunuch who suddenly appeared in front of him and didn't react for a moment. After a moment of pause, he asked strangely: "Why are you here? Could it be that the emperor summoned you?"
This is the eunuch beside Zhu Yunye. He usually stays with Zhu Yunye and never leaves the palace. Unless there's something important.
Thinking of this, Han Du's expression changed slightly. Did something big happen?
The eunuch smiled slightly and quickly waved his hand to dispel Han Du's worries, "Don't worry, Duke Zhen. We are just here to pass on the emperor's instructions."
Han Du felt slightly relieved. Since it was an oral instruction, it was not a big problem.
Pulling the hem of his clothes from both sides, Han Du cupped his fists and was about to kneel down.
But the eunuch immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, "The emperor has a special oral instruction. Duke Zhen Guo can just stand and listen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Since this was what Zhu Yunye meant, Han Du stopped insisting and saluted with his fists in the direction of the palace.
The eunuch then spread his legs in a splay and said in a high-pitched and solemn voice with a loud breath: "It is the emperor's decree that Zhu Zhanji is allowed to study in the academy. No one is allowed to stop him. I do this!"
Han Du's mouth twitched, looking at the eunuch's smiling expression, he had to bow: "Your Majesty, Han Du, obey your order!"
The eunuch nodded with satisfaction, "In this case, our family will go back and report to the emperor."
"Eunuch, please come and make a trip in person." Han Du handed over to him.
"You're welcome, Duke Zhenguo." The eunuch bowed and returned the greeting, then turned around and led a group of young eunuchs back.
Han Du looked at the eunuch's leaving figure and clenched his fist in his right hand, feeling angry in his heart.
"What's wrong, is this?" Fang Xiaoru noticed the movement on Han Du's side, but when he came over, the eunuch had already left, leaving Han Du standing there, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Han Du looked back at him and explained with an annoyed tone: "Zhu Zhanji ran to beg the emperor. Even I can't stop him from entering the academy this time."
Fang Xiaoru frowned when he heard this. Zhu Zhanji was also a smart man, and he could not fail to see Han Du's attitude towards him entering the academy.
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Zhanji should be polite and stop disturbing the academy.
And Han Du's attitude was also very strange, as if he was targeting Zhu Zhanji from the beginning.
"Perhaps, he is just eager to learn. Besides, why did you not let him in as if you were facing a formidable enemy?"
"Eager to learn?" Han Du's voice rose an octave, as if he had heard a huge joke.
"I think he is not eager to learn, but has bad intentions and crooked ideas." Han Du snorted and sneered.
Han Du had discussed this issue with Fang Xiaoru before, so Fang Xiaoru knew what Han Du was referring to without any further explanation.
However, Fang Xiaoru still disagreed, "Are your worries a bit unnecessary? Maybe Zhu Zhanji really just wants to see the knowledge of the academy?"
Now that the matter has come to this, Zhu Yunye has already spoken out. The matter can no longer be stopped, and Han Du does not want to say anything more.
Chao Fang Xiaoru shook his head and said with worry: "Then just watch and see if he came to the academy just to study."
Fang Xiaoru pondered for a while, but couldn't find a reason to convince Han Du. But as Han Du said, the truth will be revealed after reading it.
When the two of them were speechless, Zhu Zhanji walked towards this side with a smile on his face.
Han Du saw him at a glance, sneered, and stared at Zhu Zhanji until he came to him.
"You really don't want to wait even a day!" Han Du was not polite at all and mocked Zhu Zhanji without any concealment.
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Fang Xiaoru and gave him a look, indicating: "Look, do you look like you are here to study if you come in so impatiently?"
Fang Xiaoru was also dissatisfied with Zhu Zhanji's actions. As soon as the eunuch delivering the order left, he entered the academy behind him. It was indeed a bit rude to not even inform the academy at all.
Zhu Zhanji knew that Han Du didn't want to see him, and he didn't care.
But on the surface, he still remained polite, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Young Master, you are joking, I am really yearning for the academy."
Even Zhu Zhanji himself didn't believe this. As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and coughed, his face full of embarrassment.
Han Du knew that it was impossible to drive him out, so he could only smile and said: "In this case, it is better for me to accompany His Highness."
No matter what your plans are, as long as I keep an eye on you, I can take precautions before they happen.
Zhu Zhanji was not stupid, and immediately declined: "Ahem, I have already troubled you once, so I don't dare to bother you again. Last time, I took you to visit the academy. I am familiar with every place. I will go there by myself." good."
Han Du sneered in his heart, turned his head to look at Fang Xiaoru, and signaled to him.
Fang Xiaoru put his hands together and smiled: "In that case, let me accompany His Highness for a walk."
"No need." Zhu Zhanji refused directly. Although Fang Xiaoru would definitely not stare at him like Han Du if he accompanied him, but now that he had the emperor's instructions, he naturally didn't want to have a pair of eyes around him.
After all, what he wants to do is not very visible.
After saying that, Zhu Zhanji politely handed over his hand, then turned around and walked away.
Han Du kept watching Zhu Zhanji disappear into the crowd, then turned back to Fang Xiaoru and said, "You see, you said he had no other purpose in entering the academy. Do you believe it now?"
Fang Xiaoru also saw the problem now and sighed: "I'll follow him."
"Forget it." Han Du didn't look down on Fang Xiaoru. With his personality, he really couldn't do such delicate work.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Fang Xiaoru was a little upset. Now he had a lot of affairs in the academy waiting for him to deal with, and he had to distract himself from taking care of Zhu Zhanji, which was a little out of his depth.
Han Du shook his head: "It's useless."
After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "I have a way."
Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment and started laughing too. Han Du had many methods and it wasn't the first time he knew about it.
