"That's what happened. The second brother committed a big crime this time. My father has already sent someone to take him back to the capital. Now he is confined in the palace, waiting to be punished. I begged my father several times, but nothing happened.

It's of little use." Zhu Biao also knew that this matter was very difficult to handle, so he patiently explained it to Han Du.

Han Du silently picked up the tea cup and took another sip. After a while, his expression became a little weird: "You can't even persuade the emperor, do you think the emperor will listen to me? Maybe if I open my mouth, he will be

The emperor was beaten to death."

Han Du had no intention of interceding for Zhu Xi, and he was not familiar with him, so why should he help him intercede in front of Lao Zhu? Besides, whether it was Zhu Xi or Zhu Biao, they were both father and son by blood.

The bones were broken but the tendons were still attached. Han Du felt that with Lao Zhu's protective temper, he would not do anything to Zhu Chong.

On the contrary, if an outsider intervenes, it will be a problem.

Seeing Han Du's eyes dodge, obviously not wanting to help, Zhu Biao suddenly became anxious. Han Du had not seen his father's anger with his own eyes, so he didn't know how serious Zhu Biao's crime was this time. His father had been because of his second brother in the past few days.

He was very angry about what happened and was determined to punish him severely. Even his mother and himself could not persuade him. If there was no other way, he would not come to Han Du for help.

"I know you are smart and have many bad ideas, so hurry up and think of a solution."

Han Du shook his head like a rattle and refused: "This is simply not a matter that can be solved by relying on methods. If you want the emperor to spare King Qin, you must let the emperor vent his anger first. But that's possible.

The emperor is angry now, how difficult it is to make him vent his anger."

Han Du couldn't see any hope at all and could only give Zhu Biao a helpless look.

Zhu Biao naturally knew that this matter was very difficult, otherwise he would not have made a special trip to look for Han Du. Seeing that Han Du had no intention of helping, Zhu Biao simply gritted his teeth, stood up and took Han Du's arm, trying to force him to

Han Du was dragged away.

"Let's go, you and Gu go together to ask for an audience with the emperor. If we go together, the emperor may not agree."

Although Zhu Biao is fat, he is very strong. He has been beaten in the military camp since he was a child, and his strength is not weak at all. He pulled Han Du effortlessly, and before Han Du could react, he pulled him.

Pull him outside the door.

Han Du felt as if his arm was clamped by a pair of iron pliers, unable to break free. He staggered and was pulled out of the door by Zhu Biao.

"Stop, stop, stop quickly, Your Highness, you are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, what do you mean by fussing like this?" Han Du talked about etiquette, which finally made Zhu Biao have some scruples.

Zhu Biao had been taught by famous Confucian officials since he was a child, and etiquette was almost engraved in his heart. If he hadn't been so impatient just now, he wouldn't have acted so rudely.

Zhu Biao hesitated, but finally let go of Han Du's hand and asked with joy: "Do you agree?"

Han Du shook his head subconsciously.

When Zhu Biao saw him, he immediately grabbed Han Du and dragged him with him.

There was no other way. Facing the unreasonable Zhu Biao, Han Du had no choice but to relax and agree temporarily, "Okay, okay, but I can only try to say a few good words for King Qin. I don't know if it will be of any use."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go and see our father right now." Seeing that Han Du finally agreed, Zhu Biao happily put his arms around Han Du's shoulders and was about to go out.

Han Du pushed Zhu Biao's hand away and gave him a helpless look. Zhu Biao was indeed too kind, which was both his advantage and disadvantage.

If it were Zhu Di who was involved in King Qin's matter, he would definitely have looked on with cold eyes and would not have gotten in front of Lao Zhu to be scolded.

But there is no other way. Who made Han Du choose Zhu Biao? It may be a coincidence or he had no choice. In short, since Han Du chose Zhu Biao, he had to work hard to wipe his ass.

Regarding going to see Lao Zhu, Han Du didn't want to go yet, so he said to Zhu Biao: "I'm not in a hurry to see the emperor. I want to meet the King of Qin first. I don't know if it can be done?"

King Qin was banned from entering the prince's palace. Logically speaking, no one was allowed to enter the prince's palace, but this ban obviously could not stop Zhu.

Biao, can it be said that when Zhu Biao goes to see his younger brother, who can stop him? Even if Lao Zhu knew about it, he would blame Zhu Biao, but would praise his brotherly harmony.

However, Zhu Biao can go there by himself. It is not easy to bring Han Du in, at least it is impossible to bring Han Du in like this.

Zhu Biao asked Han Du to pretend to be a follower and carry a food box to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

When the general guarding the gate saw Zhu Biao coming from a distance, he suddenly felt dizzy. He wanted to stop Zhu Biao, but he didn't have the courage. If he didn't stop him, it would be difficult to explain to the superiors.

He had no choice but to greet him with a smile, "General, I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince. May I ask His Highness?"

The guard wanted to stop Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao ignored him at all and just said, "Second brother Gu wants to eat the food and wine from the seafood restaurant. Gu is here specifically to deliver food and wine to the second brother."

The guard glanced at the person who was following the prince with his head lowered and silently. He thought he was a eunuch from the East Palace, so he didn't pay much attention. He quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao stopped, looked at the guard and sneered: "What? You dare to stop me?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Even if the general has taken the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage, he will not dare to stop His Highness. However, can His Highness give the food box to the general and let the general take it in for his highness?" The guard looked at it.

He glanced at the food box in Han Du's hand, and then looked at Zhu Biao's eyes, with pleading in his eyes.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao puffed up his chest, raised his head, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, but if this thing passes through your hands, if there is any problem if King Qin eats it, then it will be your business."

The guard suddenly swallowed his saliva, his face was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and he did not dare to say anything. Although he believed that the food box brought by His Highness the Crown Prince was definitely fine, he had seen what King Qin was like in the past few days.

Even if there is nothing wrong with the food box, if King Qin insists on saying there is something wrong with the food and wine after eating it, rolling around on the ground with his belly in his arms, it could kill him.

Does the guard dare to take a gamble? He doesn't dare!

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, please come in!" After saying that, he quickly moved out of the way and never dared to mention the matter of getting the prince's food box again.

Han Du lowered his head and followed Zhu Biao into Prince Qin's Mansion. As soon as he was out of sight of the defenders, he immediately raised his head.

Everything you see is prosperous and wealthy, including stone walls, clear springs, rockeries, and pavilions. But if you look closely, Han Du can clearly see that although this Qin Prince's Mansion is much better than ordinary mansions,

But it is far inferior to Zhu Biao’s East Palace.

Under the leadership of his chamberlain, Zhu Biao found King Qin drinking and having fun in a pavilion.

Seeing Zhu Biao coming, King Qin did not stand up to greet him. He just glanced at him lightly and said casually: "Brother, the emperor came to see us again? You have worked hard these days. You come to see me every day.

"

King Qin's tone was a little decadent, and even when he was talking to Zhu Biao, he did not put down the wine glass in his hand, and even took a sip during the process.

Han Du could see King Qin's indifference to Zhu Biao, and looked at Zhu Biao strangely, feeling a little unworthy for him. Although Zhu Biao didn't say it, Han Du could guess it through his red eyes.

, Zhu Biao probably spent a lot of energy running for King Qin these days.

Han Du stood up from behind Zhu Biao, put the food box on the stone table with a "dong" sound, and looked at Zhu Ping with contempt.

Zhu Xiang was immediately a little angry. He was extremely unlucky these days. Because his father, Jiazi, was celebrating his birthday, he went back to Beijing in person to wish his father a birthday. Unexpectedly, just because he went and left Xi'an, someone took advantage of him.

, came to the capital to sue him.

Although he, Zhu Ping, was in a state of decline now, he was still a majestic King of Qin, and he was not a eunuch who could throw a tantrum at him. Just when he was about to get angry, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar.

He immediately raised his finger and pointed at Han Du, and asked doubtfully: "You, don't you

yes"

Han Du pulled off the shading crown and sat down opposite Zhu Xi unceremoniously.

"Han Du? What are you doing here?" Zhu Zhen recognized Han Du, but he was not happy at all. He raised his head and glanced at Zhu Biao, not knowing what Zhu Biao meant.

"Han Du said he wanted to see you, so he brought him here." Zhu Biao wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start, so he finally found a random reason.

Zhu Xiang frowned when he heard this. He had no friendship with Han Du, they just knew each other and had drinks at the same table.

"What do you want to do when you meet this king?"

Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao, but did not expose what he said. He turned to look at Zhu Xi, snorted twice and said: "At this point, King Qin is still in the mood to drink and have fun. Should I say you are confused, or you are not afraid of death?

?”

"Hahaha, what are you talking about, death? Will I die? What a joke, who will let me die, who dares to let me die?" Not only did Zhu Ping not restrain himself from Han Du's warning, on the contrary, he became more and more arrogant.

stand up.

After saying that, he ignored Han Du at all, took a sip of wine, and threw the wine bottle out of the pavilion. It hit the rockery and the pieces flew everywhere.

Han Du was speechless when he saw Zhu Xi's behavior. In addition, Han Du didn't want to get involved at all. He turned back to Zhu Biao and said: "It seems that King Qin is very confident about this matter and does not need you at all, Your Highness."

Don't worry, let's go back. Otherwise, others will regard your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and you will be so busy and exhausted that your Highness will not be remembered well by others, so why bother?"

Zhu Biao didn't speak, but just motioned with his eyes to Han Du to shut up. Zhu Feng had already been greatly stimulated this time, and Zhu Biao was afraid that if Han Du continued to stimulate him, Zhu Fang would have bad consequences.

But Han Du insisted on saying it.

"What has this king asked you to worry about?" Zhu Xi asked disapprovingly with a face filled with impatience.

The more Zhu Feng showed such an attitude, the more unhappy Han Du felt. He said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness has been trying to find a way to plead for you in front of the emperor these days. It's a good thing that you not only have no intention of repenting, but are drinking in the house."

It’s time to have fun. Aren’t you mistaking the prince’s kindness for a donkey’s liver and lungs, so what are you?”

After hearing this, Zhu Xi not only showed no gratitude at all, but instead looked up at Zhu Biao with a sneer and said coldly: "I begged you, do you want you to intercede for me in front of my father?"

Zhu Biao was not angry because of Zhu Ping's rudeness. Instead, he sighed and persuaded softly: "Second brother, this time things are different from usual. For those mistakes you made in the past, I am alone in front of my father to ask for mercy."

It's over now. But this time, my father is really furious, so you'd better give in to him and ask for mercy."

Zhu Ming glanced disdainfully at Zhu Biao, who was trying to persuade him. He sat down without a care, picked up a bottle of wine, opened it, and raised his head to drink.

Han Du looked at it with his hands folded, without the slightest intention to stop him. Drink it. It would be best if you drink it to death. If you drink it to death, you don't have to risk yourself in front of Lao Zhu.

Han Du could ignore the matter and watch Zhu Ping drink helplessly, but Zhu Biao could not.

Zhu Biao quickly stretched out his hand to take the wine bottle from Zhu Xiang's hand, but Zhu Xiu shook him free.

"Don't worry about me!"

Zhu Ping's unprovoked anger made Zhu Biao stunned. He didn't understand that he was clearly doing his best for his second brother and wanted to plead for his second brother in front of his father. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to bring Han Du here.

.How come now, the second brother doesn’t want to see him get up?
