Lao Zhu laughed angry and didn't say anything. He pointed his hand at the outside of the hall.

Han Du understood and understood, and was asking himself to get out. So he hugged the brocade box and hurriedly left the hall.

Han Du, who left Fengtian Palace, was unwilling to be able to print Lao Zhu's portrait on the treasure banknote, which was a pity.

The banknotes that Han Du is familiar with are still the kind in later generations. As for the treasure money that the Ming Dynasty is now, Han Du seems to be just a piece of straw paper.

Han Du always felt that he could not print Lao Zhu's portrait on the treasure banknote.

But for some reason, Lao Zhu reacted so much to this matter and drove himself out without giving him a chance to explain.

What should I do?

Han Du was at a loss while walking outside the palace.

Suddenly he thought something.

Maybe I can't persuade Lao Zhu, but someone should be able to persuade him.

When Han Du went to find His Royal Highness, he made up his mind and turned halfway and headed towards the East Palace.

Perhaps it was because Zhu Biao had not handled many memorials today. When Han Du came, Zhu Biao was resting in the garden.

After reporting and waiting, Han Du soon followed the eunuch to the garden.

"My minister, Han Du, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Biao held a teapot in one hand and signaled Han Du to "Sit!"

"Thank you, Your Highness," Han Du sat down as he said, and saw Zhu Biao handing over tea, and quickly took it.

Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and spoke first, "Don't blame your father for that matter. Don't worry, I am still here, you will not be targeted by them. No one should be erased by your credit."

"Your Highness is talking about that," Han Du understood and said indifferently: "I don't care about what credit is not meritorious. So what if they exclude me? I am not arrogant, but I don't care about them at all. I am not targeting anyone, and in my opinion, none of the officials now are qualified."

When Zhu Biao heard Han Du's words, his actions of drinking tea froze instantly. His eyes glanced at Han Du up and down, and the meaning seemed to be saying, "Are you not proud, or what? You are already so proud that you are looking down on the heroes of the world."

For some reason, when Han Du and Zhu Biao were together, they felt much more relaxed. Unlike when he saw Lao Zhu, he would always tense a string in his heart.

"Your Highness doesn't believe me?" Han Du asked casually when he saw Zhu Biao looking at him with a strange expression.

Without waiting for Zhu Biao to answer, Han Du continued: "If you talk about conspiracy and calculations in the court, I am indeed not as good as those who have been living all day long. But is it just for you to plot against me all day long, and am I going to plot against you?"

Faced with the Han Du problem, Zhu Biao said in a relaxed tone: "Since ancient times, it has been said that one official can benefit one's country. The princes of the United States are not only able to calculate, but they are also working hard to benefit one's country."

Han Du rubbed his temples and felt that there was a cognitive gap between him and Zhu Biao. If it were Han Du's previous temper, he would not bother to explain. But who would have to face Zhu Biao, the dignified Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the future crown prince? He would not do anything for others, even for himself, he would have to explain patiently and carefully.

"Your Highness believes that if you can be a good official in the temple and organize yin and yang, and educate the people as an official, can you be considered a good official?"

"Isn't that the case?" Zhu Biao asked Han Du. In his opinion, such an official is considered one of the few good officials.

As expected, this is the limitation of the ancients' cognition.

The superiors always believe that they can make the people live and work in peace and contentment and not bully the people at will, and that they can be considered a rare good official.

And this is not what Zhu Biao thinks is, but it is that since history, almost everyone has thought so since a thousand years ago.

This has a great relationship with the ancient environment, which is the environment that restricts their cognition. In ancient times, wars often fought, either attacking others or being attacked by others. Even in the current Ming Dynasty, the Hongwu Dynasty was just fourteen years old, Zhu Yuanzhang launched several northern expeditions in succession.

War has brought great burdens to the people, and there are even many people who are trapped in war and displaced.

Therefore, it would be good for the people at this time to be able to live safely and safely. How could there be any other ideas? When encountering an official who did not disturb them, the people thought that this was a good official, so they were grateful to him and gave him tens of thousands of people's umbrellas.

This leads to being a good official who sits upright in the temple and does nothing.

Since ancient times, officials have considered their own interests and have never considered them for the people. Even the one who said the deafening and sensible saying "Worry about the world first and then enjoy the world after the world is happy", the reforms he has worked hard to promote are also seeking profit for the court. What he said is just an illusory state, just a fantasy, and it is not a specific goal at all.

Even the royal family that regarded the world as one's own thing in all dynasties, considering their own interests and never overthinks the people.

It was not until the founding of the New Dynasty that Emperor Taizong said the powerful saying "solving the problem of food and clothing" that it was considered to turn the ideals of the previous sages into clear, real and feasible goals.

"But Your Highness, do the people need education?" Han Du asked with a chuckling.

There are still questions about this, and the people of course need to be educated! Zhu Biao was about to refute Han Du.

But before he could answer, Han Du said firmly: "The people do not need so-called education. The sages have a saying. If the warehouse is sufficient, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. The people's food and clothing are the first priority. As for education, it is just that those officials think they are incompetent."

"Thinking of incompetence..." Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, looked at Han Du with a firm face, and had to smile bitterly: "You are really not polite at all. It would be enough to say these words to me today, but don't reveal them, otherwise I will find it difficult to protect you."

Han Du smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I haven't lived enough yet, how could I dig a hole for myself? Not only did I not reveal any of these words just now, but I also wouldn't admit it even if Your Highness said it was me."

"It's better not to admit it," Zhu Biao laughed, and his expression suddenly became lonely after laughing. "You said it very well. Every citizen can eat and wear warmly. What kind of prosperous scene should it be? But it may be difficult to achieve. Since ancient times, even in the prosperous era of Zhenguan rule, there are also hungry people in the world, and it is impossible to do what you said."

"Why does Your Highness think it's better to achieve it, or is it better to not achieve it?" Han Du looked at Zhu Biao and asked with a little deeper meaning.

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, "Of course it has been achieved. In such a prosperous era, it is worth it even if I take a look at it. But unfortunately, it is too difficult and almost impossible to achieve it."

Han Du looked at Zhu Biao for a long time, and saw that what he said was not false at all, and said, "The Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, and people in the world are better than those of the ancients. What the ancients did not do, His Highness today may not be able to do. As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, His Highness should have the intention to encompass the four seas and dominate the eight wildernesses. In the past, the world was chaotic for hundreds of years in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and people all thought that the world would continue to be in such a way. But did the First Emperor fight for the sixth generation and unify the world, and did what his predecessors did not do? What's more, success does not have to be with me. Even if His Highness can't do it, as long as His Highness strives toward this goal, it will naturally come naturally."

"Okay, it's good to say, it's so good. Hahaha..." Zhu Biao stood up excitedly, walked back and forth in front of Han Du, muttering constantly, "Success does not have to be with me, success does not have to be with me..."

Although Zhu Biao has assisted the country for many years, he has never had a clear goal at this moment.

Zhu Biao was born in the war and separatist states, and was extremely loved by Lao Zhu as soon as he was born. Lao Zhu not only invited Zhu Biao to enlighten him, but after he grew up, he also personally taught him the art of fighting in battle formations.

Zhu Biao is a real civil and military genius. In addition, he is kind by nature and is well aware of the sufferings of the people. He has always been warned by the people of the court.

In the first year after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao was crowned as the crown prince. The following year, he was taken by Lao Zhu to teach the emperor's learning, and even the court meeting asked him to stand by and learn.

Now he is even more in charge of the country. It can be said that Lao Zhu gave all the best to Zhu Biao.

Although Zhu Biao accepted everything given by his father one by one, there was a problem that always existed in his heart. Although he accepted everything given by his father, these were what Lao Zhu recommended to him. No one knew whether he wanted it or not.

In the past, Zhu Biao accepted all this calmly and did everything according to his father's instructions. After his father's Long Yu returned to heaven, he naturally took over the throne and then governed the country like his father.

To see clearly, it is to govern the country like the father.

The key is "like", not Zhu Biao knows how to govern the country himself.

To put it simply, Zhu Biao has no own opinion and no goals.

But now, the target has emerged.

"It doesn't matter if you can't make the people of the world eat and wear warmly, even if you can't do it. Just do as you try to do more and move towards this goal."

Han Du's words awakened Zhu Biao, making him feel enlightened and shined with an independent spirit.

"From now on, I, Zhu Biao, and the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, are unique. I am me, no longer the shadow of anyone, even the father, not even the emperor." Zhu Biao's spiritual will is like a torch, and the spirits that were scattered around me gathered little by little, condensed into a whole.

Han Du was also stunned when he saw this. He just sighed casually, but he did not expect that it would cause such a huge reaction from Zhu Biao.

"I wonder if my dear, can I help me?" Zhu Biao suddenly grabbed Han Du's hands and asked solemnly.
