Chapter 1119 If you cant take advantage, you will suffer a loss
"Of course I have heard of the Huaixi nobles." Han Du nodded, and asked doubtfully: "But isn't this talking about us nobles?"
Tang He let out a laugh from his nose and said: "The nobles are nobles, and the nobles of Huaixi are the nobles of Huaixi. The so-called nobles of Huaixi are those who followed the emperor to raise troops, conquered the north and south, and achieved great achievements.
I can barely be counted as a noble of Huaixi, but I was granted the title of Duke late, and I am not as noble as Li Shanchang, who was named the Duke of Han* as soon as the country was founded. Therefore, there was a large number of nobles who gathered here at the beginning.
Li Shanchang's side.
There are so many people here, and no one cares about them at all. Of course, I don’t like them either. Since we both hate each other, we gradually stopped contacting them altogether.”
Han Du was shocked by Tang He's news. He turned pale and asked, "Are these Huaixi nobles all military generals?"
Seeing that Han Du had revealed the key point, Tang He nodded with satisfaction and said quietly: "They are all generals who are good at fighting and have experienced hundreds of battles."
Looking for death. For a moment, Han Du couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. He felt deeply that Li Shanchang was really under the butcher's knife of Lao Zhu, and he danced like crazy. And he did it for so many years.
You must know that Li Shanchang did not know how to fight, but he was an expert in managing internal affairs. Even under Lao Zhu, no one could rival Li Shanchang in managing internal affairs.
It is precisely because of this that Lao Zhu specifically compared Li Shanchang's achievements to Xiao He in the founding edict. Firstly, it was to show that Li Shanchang's achievements were no less than Xiao He's, and secondly, it was to highlight that his ability to govern was no less than Xiao He's.
.
Li Shanchang, who is good at governance but not good at fighting, will not be the slightest threat to Lao Zhu.
But Li Shanchang, who is good at governance and surrounded by strong generals who are good at fighting, is the biggest threat to Lao Zhu.
"He is looking for death." Han Du couldn't help but shook his head.
Tang He looked at Han Du solemnly and said energetically: "No matter who sees his actions, they think he is looking for death. But he is the only one who doesn't think so. Do you think it's ridiculous?"
Han Du was stunned when he heard this and asked in astonishment: "Then what does he think?"
Tang He curled his lips and said: "He believes that he and those Huaixi nobles were all knighted together. It is fate and friendship. It doesn't matter if they interact more casually or too closely."
Han Du was speechless when he heard this. He didn't understand why this happened. Could it be that Li Shanchang was the legendary person with a high IQ but low EQ?
Hearing this, Han Du still didn't understand anything. He sighed and asked: "So this time, it was the emperor who took action?"
Tang He shook his head slightly and sneered: "You underestimate the emperor. Why does the emperor need to personally arrange this kind of thing? The emperor only needs to gently move his fingers at the right time, that's enough."
Also, if Lao Zhu wanted to touch Li Shanchang, it would be impossible to wait until today. As early as the Hu Weiyong case, Li Shanchang was dealt with.
"Keeping Li Shanchang alive is an opportunity given to him by the emperor for the sake of being his son and daughter. If Li Shanchang can change his ways from now on and cut off contact with those Huaixi nobles, he may still be able to keep this glory.
Rich. But obviously, he did not understand the emperor's meaning at all. He also thought that he and Hu Weiyong had been dealt with cleanly, and he was completely unscrupulous in dealing with the nobles of Huaixi." Tang He sighed in a harmonious voice.
, there was a hint of pity in his tone.
"Then this time, Li Shanchang must be finished?" Han Du asked in a daze.
Now there are only five princes in the Ming Dynasty: Tang He, Feng Sheng, Li Shanchang, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu. Now suddenly there is Li Shanchang, which makes Han Du sigh.
Tang He snorted and said: "I have been following the emperor all my life, and I have never seen the emperor's purpose fail. What do you think? Besides, I'm afraid it's not just the emperor's intention."
After Tang He finished speaking, he met Han Du's eyes meaningfully.
Is there anyone else? Who? Who is so capable that he can hide deeper than Lao Zhudu?
Han Du didn't believe there was such a person at all, and asked in a voice: "Who else is there?"
Tang He did not answer, but instead asked Han Du, "What do you think of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Prince?" Han Du frowned
Wrinkling slightly, as if he couldn't believe it, he followed Tang He's question and said: "The world says that the prince is kind, and I also think that the prince is very gentle, just like the gentle and humble gentleman described by the sages."
Tang He smiled and did not refute Han Du's words. He just said, "Yes, the prince is indeed kind and gentle."
"What is the prince's prestige in the court?" Tang He asked again.
Han Du subconsciously replied: "It's very high. His Royal Highness has overseen the country for many years and handles government affairs in an orderly manner. All ministers obey him."
"A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridiculed by others. If a person only has kindness and no thunderbolt skills, do you think such a person will have prestige?" Tang He said, staring at Han Du.
Boom~
A thunderbolt seemed to flash through Han Du's mind, and he was stunned. All the remarks in the previous life were combined with all the experiences in this life, and finally Han Du came to a conclusion. People all have the bad nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If a person
If a person greets everyone with a smile and never resists when others press him step by step, then this person may not get respect from others, but wolves that want to come forward and bite him.
.
But Zhu Biao just did it
"Okay, I admit that I underestimated the prince." Han Du lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
Tang He smiled relaxedly and said: "It's good to know. I know that you have a close relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince is a king and will one day inherit the throne. And you are a minister, so remember not to do anything in front of the Prince.
It’s too casual. Remember that there is a difference between king and minister.”
"Thank you for your advice, sir." Han Du stood up and bowed solemnly to Tang He.
Tang He would not have said these words to Han Du unless he regarded Han Du as a relative. Therefore, Tang He naturally accepted Han Du's courtesy while lying on the bed.
After this ceremony, the relationship between Xinguo Gongfu and Zhenhaihoufu became even closer.
Tang He nodded and said to Han Du: "I called you here today just to tell you. In the face of the chaos in the court, you must not interfere indiscriminately. Just sit aside and watch quietly."
"I remember." Han Du replied solemnly.
Back home, Han Du was still sighing. He didn't expect that Zhu Biao, who always looked at everyone with a smiling face, actually had strong skills.
Suddenly Han Du suddenly thought that since Zhu Biao was not as kind and honest as he usually showed, but was very scheming. So when Han Jingyun refused to marry him, was this guy's plan involved?
When he thought that his sister might have been deceived by Zhu Biao, Han Du's face turned green. He stood up suddenly and wanted to go to Zhu Biao to ask clearly.
But after letting out a long sigh, he sat down in vain. "What can I do if I go and ask clearly? How old is my sister's child now, can I still oppose her?"
"This damn fat man, smiling tiger"
The ensuing court battles intensified as time went by.
Han Du kept Tang He's instructions in mind and ignored the matter, watching the two parties fighting each other with cold eyes.
One side is naturally a group of Huaixi people headed by Li Shanchang. These people are very powerful. Almost all of them are marquises, not even earls. However, now that Li Shanchang is imprisoned, they are leaderless and cannot exert their full potential.
Power. On the other hand, Han Du was quite surprised. They turned out to be some civil servants. These civil servants were not many in number and were distributed in various ministries. But when Han Du looked at them, he always felt that these people seemed to have something in common.
.
The more confused I am, the more doubts I have in my heart.
Finally, Han Du simply found officials who were from the academy and were now serving in the Ministry of Personnel.
"Can you give me a copy of the resumes of these officials?"
The official from the Ministry of Personnel took the note from Han Du's hand, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Sir, if you want, of course you can. However, I want to ask you, sir, do you want one of them?"
General information, or detailed information?"
"Huh?" Han Du paused after hearing this and said without hesitation: "Of course, the more detailed the better."
Unexpectedly, when the official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs heard this, he looked embarrassed and explained: "Sir, if it is brief information, I can find it here. But if you want the most detailed information, there is nothing I can do.
"
Han Du's eyelids twitched, and he felt that this person was perfunctory with him. He said displeasedly: "Then let's keep it simple. Anyway, whatever you can provide is what you want."
Upon hearing this, the Ministry of Personnel official did not directly agree to Han Du, but suggested with a smile: "If sir wants detailed information, the student knows a place where it is available."
"Where?" Han Du was already a little impatient when he saw him resisting. But if you want to find out what happened to these officials, the more detailed information you need, the better. .??.
Therefore, even if Han Du was impatient, he had to listen patiently.
"Prince Tan's Mansion."
"Zhu Zi? Why does he have detailed information about officials?" Han Du suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked hesitant, showing that he was thinking about something rapidly in his heart.
As the King of Tan, Zhu Zi has in his hands more detailed information about officials than the official department. What does he want to do? If such a thing is exposed by someone, even if he is accused of having ulterior motives, it will be light.
And judging from the meaning of the people in front of me, Zhu Zi's matter is not a secret at all, but everyone knows it? At least, there must be a lot of people who know.
"Sir, you will know when you get there." The official from the Ministry of Human Resources did not explain in detail to Han Du.
General Han Du came to Prince Tan's Mansion suspiciously, informed the guard, and stood waiting at the door.
Soon, a noisy sound came from the palace. Han Du looked for the sound and saw a large group of people walking towards the door.
The leader is of course Zhu Zi. Compared with when he was in the academy, his appearance has not changed much. His face is still handsome and makes people jealous. However, as he walks, he has lost his youthful frivolity and has become calm.
The only thing that impressed Han Du was that his eyes became more lively, and their glances were full of weirdness.
Han Du still remembered that when Zhu Zi first entered the academy, he seemed stern and perverse at that time. But now, Zhu Zi looks completely masculine and upright, and people can't help but like him at a glance.
, it is easier to believe in his words and deeds.
"Your Majesty, Han Du, pays homage to His Highness Prince Tan." Han Du did not give Zhu Zi a chance and bowed to pay homage in advance.
The joking in Zhu Zi's eyes flashed away, and he felt a little regretful. But with a smile on his face, he said: "Sir, you're welcome, please get up quickly."
"Prince Tan's words are serious, and I absolutely cannot treat him as a prince." Although Han Du straightened up, he still shook his head and objected to Zhu Zi's address to him.
Zhu Zi, with a smile on his face, tried to persuade him: "Sir, why should you be too modest? In the past, Song Lian taught the emperor, and the emperor treated him as a teacher. Although I am not talented, I am by no means a person who does not understand etiquette."
Han Du, however, insisted that he would not accept Zhu Zi's teaching ceremony, and said quickly: "Song Xueshi taught the prince with all his heart. But I only served as a teacher for a few days, which is not the same as the same. Besides, the prince taught Song Xueshi the teaching ceremony.
, that is the emperor’s will. There is a distinction between monarch and minister, and I will never dare to overstep it.”
Why did Han Du insist on drawing a clear line with Zhu Zi? That's because Han Du was shocked by Zhu Zi's actions. If this man who collected information from officials really had evil intentions, he would not be implicated.
So, don’t talk to yourself about the teacher-student relationship. As long as you don’t implicate me when the incident comes to light, I will be very grateful.
Zhu Zi saw that Han Du was determined to do this, so he had to give up temporarily, stretched out his hand and said: "Then please invite sir to come into the house to talk."
Han Du followed Zhu Zi to the main hall, sat down and took a sip of tea.
Zhu Zi took the initiative and asked, "I wonder what important business you have here?"
Han Du was asked for a moment and didn't know what to say. But then he thought that since even people with low-level positions in the official department knew about it, he should just ask directly, and there should be nothing wrong with it.
>
Holding the teacup in both hands, Han Du asked: "I heard that you have detailed information about officials here. I wanted to find something, so I came to your place to try it out."
When Zhu Zi heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, I do have this thing here, but not all officials have it, and some are not very complete. So I don't know which people you are looking for, sir.
See if you can find it."
Han Du took out the note and handed him the list of officials.
Zhu Zi took it and unfolded it, took a look, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are lucky. I have the information about these people here."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Zi unfolded the note and placed it on the table, as if waiting for something.
Han Du was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Zi strangely. Since he said he had information about these officials, why didn't he go find it immediately? Instead, he sat here. Doesn't Zhu Zi have a lot of time? Even if he didn't go find it immediately.
Zhu Zi has a lot of time, but his own time is very tight.
Zhu Zi glanced at Han Du and immediately came back to his senses. He smiled and said, "Well, since it is your husband who wants it, I will spare it for you this time."
"What exemption? What do you mean?" Han Du frowned and asked in confusion.
Zhu Zi suddenly laughed dryly and said: "It's nothing. Even the information I provide will require payment. Otherwise, there are so many people to support in such a big palace. If there is no income, what will I eat?
But since you are sir, I will not charge you this time."
Good guy, look at Zhu Zi’s behavior just now, he just wants to take my money. He is really not polite at all. One moment he was talking about the relationship between teachers and students, and the next moment he has no intention of accepting any money.
The hands are soft.
Han Du looked at Zhu Zi clearly. Even now, after Zhu Zi had said everything, he had not really started to take action. He was still waiting for Han Du to give him money.
It's a pity that Zhu Zi is still inferior. How can he care about his face when he asks for money?
Zhu Zi thought that if he said that, Han Du would consider his face and offer to give him money.
But he completely underestimated Han Du. Han Du seemed to have just reacted. He nodded lightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zi's breath was held in his throat by Han Du, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood. After a while, he responded with a flattering expression: "Then, sir, please wait a moment, and I will send someone to help you."
try to find."
Han Du had an expression of anger and gratitude on his face, nodded towards Zhu Zi and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zi was holding back his breath. In his mind, if he couldn't take advantage, he would suffer a loss. But facing Han Du, who was even more shameless, he could only swallow this loss abruptly.
He went out angrily, even Han Du was too lazy to deal with it, and took the note to find what Han Du wanted.
As he walked away, he still regretted, "Sir, you are indeed a gentleman, but I am still careless."
Then he muttered: "If you are thick-skinned, eat enough to be shameless. After eating enough, I must be even thicker-skinned."
As he said that, Zhu Zi rubbed his handsome face a few times, as if he wanted to make his face thicker, and also wanted to firmly remember today's lesson.
"It's okay. Every time you suffer, you will gain wisdom. Today is just a lesson. I will never be soft next time."
Han Du drank the tea in sips until it turned white. Zhu Zicai came in from the door with a pamphlet and a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, are things done?" Han Du quickly stood up with a smile and asked.
Zhu Zi smiled and handed the booklet to Han Du and said, "Everything you asked for is in it. Please keep it."
"Okay, thank you so much, Your Majesty." Han Du thanked him with a smile and stretched out his hand to take the booklet.
But when I wanted to take the book back, I pulled it but it didn't move.
Han Du lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhu Zi's hand, which was holding the book tightly, and then raised his head to look at Zhu Zi, who was smiling.
Doesn’t this mean you don’t want to give it to me?
