Everyone in the Han family is drinking porridge and eating breakfast as usual. The breakfast in the Han family is extremely rich, including not only seafood stewed soup, but also various pasta and pastries. Now, there are even more French fries and potato pancakes.
A new kind of food.
However, these two kinds of food are what Han Kezhong and his sister like to eat. For Han De and Liu, such things can only be tasted briefly. Eating too much will not be good.
The two little guys had their mouths full of food, and their chins and the table in front of them were all covered with the dregs of French fries.
"Dad, Mom" Han Du walked in, greeted his father and mother casually, sat down in front of the table, and started eating by himself.
In the past few days, Han Du has changed from his previous habit of sleeping until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, but he is still the last to get up in the family, even his own children can't compare.
Hande glanced at his son, nodded and said nothing.
Seeing Han Du devouring his food, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
The arrival of Han Du made the two little guys immediately full of vigilance, and even the speed of eating was significantly accelerated. There was no way, dad also liked the food they liked, and dad would compete with them.
.
Seeing the father and son fighting over each other, Han De sighed with a headache and put down his chopsticks, "I'm done eating, you can eat."
Mrs. Liu glared at Han Du fiercely, "Come here, bring this, this, and this."
Then she smiled at her grandchildren and said, "Let's go, grandma will take you in to eat."
"Okay, grandma is the best~" Han Du's daughter puffed up her little face like two little white steamed buns, quickly turned over and got off the chair, and followed her grandma in bounds.
"Dou Dou is still young, what's wrong with her liking to eat? How old are you and how old is she, and you still have the nerve to compete with her for food?" Princess Anqing glared at Han Du angrily and kept scolding her.
Han Du originally never named his daughter, thinking that Lao Zhu would give her a name like a son, so he only gave his daughter a nickname.
Nickname: Dolphin.
An Qing wondered why Han Du had such a weird nickname, but Han Du explained: "I was born as a dolphin when I was at sea. The smartest animal in the sea is a dolphin. This nickname means our daughter."
Be smart in the future.”
Since she was wishing her daughter to be smart, An Qing didn't say anything more and happily accepted the name "Dolphin". And she didn't feel it at first, but the more she was called, the more smoothly the nickname became.
.
Han Du smiled and said, "How do you understand the joy of teasing a dolphin?"
An Qing got angry and put the chopsticks on the table with a snap, "That's your daughter, not the puppy you raised. Even your daughter is being bullied. Is she still a human being? I won't eat it!"
After saying that, he stood up and turned around to walk out.
"Where are you going?" Han Du was surprised that An Qing's reaction was too big.
Children, aren't they born to play? Didn't you see that you often made these jokes with your two children, but they became closer to you?
Is it really good to be like my father, who always has a straight face all day long, whether facing himself or Han Shu?
"I'm so angry with you that I want to go out and relax." An Qing said angrily.
Han Du was amused by her appearance, "You won't take me with you?"
These days, Han Du Ke had nothing to do at home. He just ate and slept all day long. As time went by, Han Du also wanted to go out for a walk.
An Qing was stunned. In the past, Han Du didn't like to go out. What happened today?
"Okay, but today I have to go find sister Yaoyue. If you are okay, then let's go together."
"Why are you looking for her again? Hey, I remember that you have been looking for her too frequently recently. You just looked for her yesterday, right? What on earth are you two doing together?" Han Du frowned,
I can't understand how these two women can be as good as wearing a pair of pants.
"Ask Sister Yaoyue for some tips on female celebrities. You don't know how good Sister Yaoyue's female celebrities are." When mentioning Yaoyue, An Qing started to talk a lot.
Han Du felt annoyance for no reason. He raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "Okay, okay, go on your own. I remembered that I wanted to go and see how the machine shop was built."
I don't know why, but every time An Qing mentions Yao Yue, Han Du can't help but feel guilty. "I and Yao Yue have nothing, so why do I feel guilty?"
Bah, you are so shameless and feel guilty even though you have nothing, isn’t it because you are hoping for something to happen? You also deliberately pointed out the innocence of Yao Yue and there is no silver three hundred taels in this place.
An Qing looked at Han Du up and down with a weird smile, which made Han Du's heart tremble. Fortunately, An Qing didn't say anything and went straight out.
After An Qing left, Han Du patted his chest and looked extremely lucky.
"Brother, what are you feeling guilty about?" At some point, Han Shu came over.
> "What's the matter with a guilty conscience? What's wrong with our kidneys? What's the point of feeling guilty if we don't have it? Which eye of yours can see that my kidneys are weak? If not, then it's a guilty conscience." Han Du spoke incoherently, his hands and feet twitching like a dancing master and gesticulating randomly, trying to get along with him.
Han Shu explained, but the more he explained, the more people misunderstood him.
Han Shu looked at Han Du intently for a long time, then sighed: "Brother, don't explain, you're already talking."
Han Du immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to continue talking. After a moment of recovery, he suddenly slapped Han Shu on the head and said, "Children, please stay away from adults' matters."
"Brother, I am already twenty years old. I am an adult, not a child." Han Shu is still studying in the academy and has not obtained any honors. But considering his age, he is indeed an adult.
Han Du glanced at him and said, "The eldest brother is your father. We are your brothers. As long as we are alive for one day, you are just a child to us."
Han Shu didn't expect that his angry elder brother would be so unreasonable, so he started to argue with him.
Han Du took the initiative and said, "You are not a child. Do you have a sweetheart?"
"I" Han Shu's momentum was instantly crushed to pieces. His face suddenly turned red, he lowered his head and pretended to dig at the rice in the bowl, never daring to look at his elder brother again.
Han Shu tried his best to avoid Han Du, but Han Du didn't intend to let him go so easily. This is the retribution for meddling in too much. If you want to interrupt, just interrupt, if you want to avoid, just avoid? How can it be so cheap?
Seeing Han Shu's face turned red, Han Du didn't know that he must have a sweetheart. He immediately asked deliberately: "Have a sweetheart? Whose lady? Tell me, let me know, and I will help you plan something."
Han Du's expression said "Believe me, I am your brother and I will not harm you", which made Han Shu couldn't help but want to tell him.
But when the words came to his lips, Han Shu suddenly remembered what his brother seemed to say? He was very kind to him and always thought of him. But it was not like Han Shu had never heard bad things about his brother outside, especially
Among his former classmates.
"No, elder brother is worrying too much. We are still young, so we don't have any sweethearts."
Han Du glanced at Han Shu unexpectedly. It seemed that he was very interested in this woman and didn't even tell himself. But if you don't tell me, I can't do anything about it? I can't cure you, so what qualifications do I have to treat you?
eldest brother?
Han Du looked at Han Shu meaningfully and nodded, and said deliberately: "Really? In this case, you are already quite old. I, as the elder brother, should also talk to my mother about your marriage and find you a well-matched match."
A beautiful lady."
Han Du squinted his eyes with a smile on his face, and there were threats to Han Shu between the lines.
"I don't!" Han Shu stood up suddenly and was about to object, but he was forced to hold back the words. If he opposed his elder brother now, wouldn't he be asking for it?
"I, I'm full, brother, please eat slowly." After saying that, Han Shu lowered his head and ran out quickly, not daring to look at Han Du again.
Han Du turned around and looked at Han Shu who was staggering away with a smile. Judging from his behavior just now, I am afraid that his sweetheart was not from a good background. At least he was not close to the ladies of the world, otherwise Han Du
Akebono would not object so eagerly.
But Han Du no longer thinks highly of Han Shu and the girl. This does not mean that Han Du has a sense of family status. On the contrary, Han Du values family status the least.
But it is a pity that Han Du is only Han Shu's eldest brother, and his marriage can only be decided by his father and mother. "The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers" are no joke.
But my father is not as easy to talk to as me. "Bless yourself," Han Du said to himself.
After eating, Han Du was about to go out to eat. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he was stopped by a black carriage.
Just as Han Du reached for his waist, a head popped out from the door curtain and waved to him. It was Zhu Biao.
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao in surprise, pulled his hand back, glanced left and right, and jumped onto the carriage in two quick steps.
He bent down and walked into the carriage, sat down, and looked at Zhu Biao in confusion, "Your Highness, which song are you singing?"
Zhu Biao unexpectedly did not answer Han Du's words. Instead, his eyes suddenly turned red and he spoke with a trembling voice.
He grabbed Han Du's hand and said: "Han Du, I really have no choice, you must help me."
Han Du was shocked. He had known Zhu Biao for so long, but he had never seen Zhu Biao like this. Although Zhu Biao was indeed too kind in the past, he was always confident and always behaved no matter who he faced.
A demeanor that is neither humble nor arrogant.
Even when facing Lao Zhu, he was able to quote scriptures and argue vigorously. In addition, he had been supervising the country's governance for many years, and he had long developed a gentle, gentle and strong courage.
what happened
, can actually make Zhu Biao lose his composure?
Han Du's eyebrows quickly became serious and he asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't panic. Panic will not solve the problem. Calm down and tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"
Zhu Biao took a few deep breaths, and his expression improved a little. He told Han Du what happened in the past few days one by one, "I didn't expect that the third brother actually hid soldiers and horses in Mount Wutai, and was kidnapped."
The real evidence was obtained. After his father found out, Long Yan was furious and directly ordered his third brother to be imprisoned in the mansion. Gu wanted to plead for his third brother, but his father forgave him. In the past few days, Gu asked to see his father many times.
The emperor was stopped by the guards."
"Han Du, you have to help Gu. If Gu doesn't help his third brother, no one will be able to help him."
I wonder if I didn't read the almanac when I went out today? Otherwise, how could I have encountered such a mess? Han Du regretted getting on the carriage without asking clearly just now. This is where he got on the carriage. This was Zhu Biao's pirate ship.
Na.
But the matter has come to this, and Han Du has nothing to do.
He sighed secretly and glanced at Zhu Biao strangely, wondering if he was too self-righteous?
However, Han Du did not say this. After lowering his head and pondering for a while, he raised his head helplessly and looked into Zhu Biao's eyes, then asked: "Your Highness, King Jin is hiding his troops and wants to rebel. Have you ever thought about it?"
Who are you planning to rebel against?"
Zhu Biao's expression suddenly froze. It was not that he was unintelligent or that he had not thought about it, but that he did not want to think about the third brother's goal of hiding soldiers and horses for rebellion.
He didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it.
But reality is not something you don’t want to face, so you don’t need to face it. Even if you are the prince, you still have to face what you should face.
Since he found him for help, Han Du had the obligation to remind Zhu Biao and let him understand.
"To say that King Jin is planning to rebel against the Emperor, I'm afraid King Jin himself doesn't believe it."
Han Du came closer to Zhu Biao and said softly through gritted teeth: "If you give Prince Jin a hundred courages, he won't even dare to rebel against the Emperor. He is hiding his troops now to rebel against you, His Royal Highness."
Han Du was worried that Zhu Biao could not figure out the source of the matter. Secondly, he wanted to give Zhu Biao a try.
Everyone in the world says that Zhu Biao is kind, but people's hearts are separated from each other. Until the most critical moment, who can say that he can completely see a person clearly?
"The Duke of Zhou was afraid of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the truth in his life?"
Since Han Du has decided to support Zhu Biao, he must at least have an understanding of Zhu Biao's true character. He cannot just follow what others say and believe what others say.
If that's the case, then he was really sold and counted money for others, and he didn't even know how he died.
Han Du was waiting, waiting for Zhu Biao's answer. Then he judged based on Zhu Biao's answer whether he should support Zhu Biao to the end without any regrets, or whether he should gradually distance himself from Zhu Biao and stop the loss in time.
Although Zhu Biao did have a life-saving kindness that he had to repay, there were many ways to repay the kindness, and it didn't necessarily have to cost him his life and fortune.
Zhu Biao also understood that the troops and horses prepared by the third brother were definitely not prepared by his father, but must be prepared for him, the prince, the imperial brother, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the future emperor.
Facing his younger brother who has made it clear that he will rebel against him, how should Zhu Biao make a choice?
After a long silence, Zhu Biao took a deep breath and said: "After Gu Rong ascends to Dabao, if the third brother rebels against Gu, Gu can arrest him, cut off his vassal state, and imprison him in the capital until he dies of old age. But Gu will not
If you kill him, you won’t let him be killed by your father right now.”
"He is Gu's biological brother after all."
Han Du looked at Zhu Biao and pondered for a moment. Seeing his firm look, he couldn't help but clapped his hands, "Your Highness is affectionate and righteous, has thunderous skills, and has the kindness of an elder brother. It is indeed good, very good, very good.
"
Han Du really admired Zhu Biao. If ordinary people heard that his brother was planning to rebel against him, they would probably be tempted to kill him.
After all, there is no family affection before the throne. How many people in history have even tortured their fathers and sons to death in order to become emperors. What does it mean to kill a younger brother?
Old Zhu gave birth to more than twenty princes, Zhu Biao killed the third one, and there were more than twenty other princes. Even if they were biological brothers, there was more than just Zhu Fan.
But Zhu Biao was not prepared to kill Zhu Fan. If that was all, it could only mean that Zhu Biao was too weak.
But at the same time, Zhu Biao was not prepared to be soft on the rebels. He reduced the vassal status, removed the nobility, and imprisoned the rebels. These were his punishments for the rebels. The typical death penalty could be avoided, but the life penalty could not be escaped.
This is the best, only in this way can we frighten the minds of other kings who are ready to make a move.
It is precisely because of this that Han Du happily clapped and celebrated, because Zhu Biao's approach was completely in line with Han Du's ideas.
"Stop talking about these useless things. Now the third brother is frightened out of his mind by his father. You
I don’t know, but now I can’t even see him. I’ve been crying and howling in the house all day and all night, and even my brother, I can’t bear it.” Zhu Biao said, his voice became deeper.
Come down.
You deserve it, you should cry to death! Han Du sat on the soft cushion with a prickly look, curling his lips, with an indifferent attitude.
When Zhu Biao saw him, he put away his depressed mood and sighed: "I know you have opinions about Third Brother, but now is not the time to talk about it. You'd better find a way to save Third Brother first. I'm begging you."
.”
Now that the words have come to this point, if Han Du remains indifferent, it would be too disrespectful to take Zhu Biao seriously.
After coughing twice, Han Du said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Although King Jin has made a big mistake, the Emperor will not kill him. Imprisoning him in the palace now and doing all these are just to scare him."
Just scare King Jin so that he will have a better memory."
"Father is really not trying to scare the third brother. Father is really furious this time. If you have a way, please tell me quickly. If there is really no way, you can think of other options." Although Zhu Biao said so.
That said, he has the greatest expectations for Han Du in his heart. If even Han Du can't do anything, then he himself doesn't know who else he can go to.
Han Du quickly raised his hand to stop Zhu Biao's words and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you think you know the Emperor well enough?"
Zhu Biao didn't know why Han Du asked like this, but he still shook his head subconsciously as an answer.
"Then your Highness thinks, who in the world knows the Emperor best?" Han Du asked again with a smile.
Zhu Biao pondered for a while, then slowly raised his head and said, "If anyone in the world understands my father the best, it is certainly the queen mother."
"Correct answer." Han Du clapped his hands happily, "It's a pity that there is no reward."
Seeing the confusion on Zhu Biao's face, Han Du had no choice but to continue explaining: "The Queen knows the Emperor best, but did the Queen say anything after the Emperor banned King Jin?"
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that his mother didn't seem to have said a word about this matter from beginning to end.
"No"
Hearing Zhu Biao's answer, the smile on Han Du's face grew stronger and he said slowly: "The King of Jin is also the Queen's biological flesh and blood. The Queen's love for the King of Jin is probably no less than that of His Highness."
Zhu Biao nodded secretly when he heard this. This is absolutely true. The queen mother treats all of their brothers equally, and will not favor anyone or dislike anyone.
"If His Highness Prince Jin is in danger of his life at this time, do you think that the Queen can still remain as she is now, ignoring matters that have nothing to do with her and saying nothing?" Han Du said meaningfully.
Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly lit up. He trembled his fingers excitedly and pointed at Han Du: "You mean, you mean"
Han Du shrugged, spread his hands, and said: "So I say that the emperor must have never thought about doing anything to King Jin. At most, he just wanted to scare him so that he would have a long memory. If it really costs his life
, the queen will definitely stop the emperor before you do."
Are you kidding me? No matter what happens to Queen Ma, she can't just watch her son die, right?
After Zhu Biao heard what Han Du said, the depression in his heart for the past few days was suddenly cleared away. Originally, he wanted Han Du to find a way to intercede for his third brother. Now, although Han Du has not interceded for his third brother,
The effect of this enlightenment was even greater than going with him to plead with his father.
"You really have a way, I'm right to come to you alone."
I hope that next time you encounter something like this, you will never think of me, Han Du thought to himself.
Seeing Zhu Biao cast a grateful look at him, Han Du immediately smiled and shook his head, and said modestly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is overly complimentary. Your Highness is just a fan of the authorities and did not think carefully in his panic. And I just took advantage of the bystanders.
Not worth mentioning."
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, accepting Han Du's statement.
Since the third brother's life was not in danger, Zhu Biao felt relieved. He looked up at Han Du in front of him and suddenly didn't know what to do.
Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to bring Han Du into the palace and let him think of a way and then go together to ask for an audience with his father. Now that there is no need to worry about his third brother, there is no need to ask his father for help.
Therefore, Handu is useless
Zhu Biao wanted to kick Han Du off the carriage, but he felt a little embarrassed. If he kicked Han Du off the carriage at this moment, wouldn't it look like he was too eager for quick success?
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao and understood his difficulty, and took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, now that the matter is over, it's time for me to go back. I also want to see what the mechanical workshop is like.
Woolen cloth."
"You can go to the viewing workshop anytime. Since you are here today, let's just go to the East Palace with Gu. I haven't seen you for a few days, and Jingyun misses you a little. It just so happens that you can talk to her and relax.
." Zhu Biao found a reason that was not a reason, and finally brought Han Du into the palace.
Han Duming knew that Zhu Biao had nothing to say, and it was not easy to expose him at this time, so he had to follow him to the East Palace.
