The dignified daughter of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion has to take the surname of an outsider. This is something that will be poked in the spine. It is a great humiliation to the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion. It is strange that the father can agree.
Seeing that Han Du was about to speak, An Qing was worried that he would rashly agree to Yao Yue, so he rushed in front of Han Du and said, "Sister, do you know what it means for a child to have your last name?"
Of course Yao Yue knew, but she really needed this child. Therefore, she had no choice but to bow to Han Du and An Qing again, "I beg the Marquis and His Highness to grant your permission."
An Qing raised his head and sighed, saying: "This is not a question of whether we will help you or not, but the matter is too involved, so it is better to consider it in the long run."
After saying that, An Qing stood up slowly, helped Yao Yue up from the ground, and said: "I have no other purpose in coming today. I just want to tell you that the matter is over and that my father will not hold you accountable again."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yao Yue was delighted when she heard this and quickly bowed to An Qing again.
Although she had guessed from the eunuchs' withdrawal that the matter might have passed, she could not feel at ease without a clear explanation of the matter. Now that she heard the definite news from An Qing, she felt worried.
Finally, she was able to let go and no longer had to take her children with her every time. She felt that this was the last time they would depend on each other.
After explaining everything, An Qing said goodbye and left.
Han Du didn't hesitate at all and left Yaoyue with An Qing.
The two of them sat side by side in the carriage going back. An Qing suddenly looked at Han Du sideways and asked with a smile: "I left Yao Yue in the capital. Is your husband very happy?"
When Han Du heard this, he immediately became vigilant. If he said he was not happy at all, it would obviously be a lie. Han Du still felt a little secretly happy in his heart.
But this secret joy must never be discovered by Anqing.
So, Han Du restrained his emotional fluctuations and said calmly: "If I say that I don't feel anything at all, you obviously won't believe it. After all, that child is always mine, and I don't want it no matter how beastly I am.
The child suffers. But how happy would I be if Yao Yue stayed in the capital? This is really not true. "
"Really?" An Qing obviously didn't believe it. After all, how many men could not be tempted by such a beautiful woman like Yao Yue?
Han Du could only smile calmly and explained: "Yao Yue is indeed very charming. If it were someone else, I might wish I could take her with me. But it's not the first day I met her. If it were me,
If you were such a person, do you think you could wait until today?"
That's true. An Qing thought about it and it was true. He stopped asking and asked about the child's name. He said, "What is the child's surname? What are you going to do about it?"
Han Du suddenly fell silent. This matter was really difficult to handle. Under An Qing's burning gaze, Han Du finally just sighed and said: "We'd better not mention this matter in front of dad. Besides, Yao Yue
Let her calm down a little bit over there. As for the child's name, let her not choose it for the time being. Let her call it by a nickname first."
This year, whether it is a son or a daughter, in fact, it is not often given a name when he was a child. This is especially true in ordinary people's homes, because ordinary people want to give their children a good name, but they themselves are trapped in uneducated
For this reason, you don’t dare to name your child rashly, lest you miss your child with a good name.
Therefore, it is common for girls to be called by their nicknames as long as they are not yet crowned. This is especially true for girls. Some even do not have their own names when they get married and have to hire a scholar overnight to name their daughters.
This is why formal names are so complicated, while nicknames are much simpler.
Take Yaoyue for example, she has no problem giving her child a nickname. Moreover, no one can say anything.
A few days later, Han Du was summoned by Lao Zhu again.
After seeing Lao Zhu and bowing to him first, Han Du stood up and just straightened up when he heard Lao Zhu's loud voice.
"I want to announce to the court tomorrow morning that I will send troops to attack the Japanese country. What do you think?"
Han Du suddenly began to ponder. Since Lao Zhu asked such a question, it means that he may not have made up his mind yet. If Lao Zhu had already made a decision, he would not ask Han Du his thoughts at all. Lao Zhu has been thinking about it all his life.
He is decisive and decisive. As long as he decides the matter, who can make him change his mind except Queen Ma and Zhu Biao?
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao subconsciously, and saw a helpless smile on Zhu Biao's face. He bowed and replied: "The Japanese country is disrespectful, and the Ming Dynasty is doing justice for heaven."
Lao Zhu laughed and nodded slightly, obviously satisfied with Han Du's answer.
"But" Han Du's tone changed.
Lao Zhu is a little unhappy now, no
However, he did not have an attack, but followed Han Du's words and asked: "What?"
Han Du immediately bowed again and said: "As a military strategist knows, you can fight a hundred battles if you know yourself and the enemy. The Japanese country has closed itself off for many years and has not interacted with the Ming Dynasty at all. As a result, the Ming Dynasty did not know much about the Japanese country. I am afraid that many people still cling to those who know them.
My understanding of Japanese pirates. Even though I have been to the Japanese country, I only had a superficial taste and did not have a deep understanding."
"Furthermore, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has been dead for several years. No one knows what has become of the north and south of Japan. Therefore, I thought that the announcement of sending troops to conquer Japan could be postponed. What is most needed now is to send people to Japan to inquire.
Only by knowing the situation of Japan clearly can we prescribe the right medicine."
As soon as Han Du finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately bowed his hands and said, "Father, I think Han Du's words are reasonable. Although Japan is a small country, this matter is of great importance, so please think deeply about it."
Lao Zhu was silent for a long time before he asked: "Then let's send someone to investigate first."
Hearing Lao Zhu's words, Han Du immediately stood up and said, "I am willing to go."
"Are you going?" Lao Zhu couldn't help but hesitate. To be honest, he really didn't want Han Du to go to Japan. After all, Han Du had just come back not long ago. If he had to leave again, how would he explain it to Anqing?
The last time Han Du went to sea for more than a year, An Qing went to the palace from time to time to complain to the queen.
But if other people were sent there, Lao Zhu would be a little worried. After all, the Japanese country had killed an envoy once, and if they openly sent people to the Japanese country, they would inevitably not kill them again.
"No." Zhu Biao suddenly stood up slightly angrily and said: "My father, the Japanese country, has no faith at all. It is too dangerous for Han Du to go here. Please ask my father to send someone else to go." ??
Han Du said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will not go in the name of an envoy of the Ming Dynasty."
Knowing that the Japanese government would kill the envoy without hesitation, but still going as an envoy, isn't this looking for death? I haven't lived enough, and I don't want to die!
Zhu Biao immediately turned around and looked at Han Du strangely.
Han Du quickly explained: "I plan to go as a maritime merchant this time."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately understood Han Du's plan and took a deep look at Han Du.
But Zhu Biao still didn't understand, and asked: "Japan has already cut off contact with the Ming Dynasty, and there is no Ming Dynasty Maritime Chamber of Commerce to choose to go to Japan. What's the difference between you going so bald and throwing yourself into a trap?"
Seeing Zhu Biao shaking his head and sighing for a while, Han Du knew that he was worried about his own safety, and a warm current flowed through his heart.
However, he still persisted and said: "It is true that the Japanese court has closed its doors to the country for a long time and does not interact with anyone. However, because Goryeo is very close to Japan, as far as I know, the people of the two places still have trade exchanges. I am going to first
Go to Goryeo, and then enter the Japanese kingdom as a Goryeo merchant."
Zhu Biao frowned. He really didn't want Han Du to take risks. However, Han Du said this, and he was obviously determined to go to Japan. Moreover, he couldn't find anyone who opposed Han Du.
Reasons for the way.
Lao Zhu was even more straightforward. He slapped his hand directly on the imperial case and made a decision: "This matter is settled."
Zhu Biao wanted to open his mouth to say something, but in the end he had no choice but to close his mouth again, unable to say anything. Seeing Han Du walking out of the hall, he also chased after him.
"Han Du, wait."
Han Du stopped, turned around and held his hands in his hands and asked, "Any other instructions, Your Highness?"
"I don't have any instructions, let's go for a walk together." Zhu Biao sighed, taking the first step and walking in front.
Han Du pondered for a moment, then walked up, half a body behind Zhu Biao, and followed Zhu Biao's footsteps.
"Okay, why do you have to go to Japan?" Zhu Biao found it difficult to understand why Han Du would do this.
Han Du was silent for a moment and then said: "Actually, it was me who proposed the emperor's desire to destroy the Japanese country."
Zhu Biao was stunned, turned around and looked at Han Du with wide eyes, and said: "Isn't it right? The destruction of the Japanese country was proposed in a memorial written by King Dongou to his father before his death. King Dongou also said that he would resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty.
To deal with enemies at sea, we need to rely on naval forces to build a Great Wall on the sea. And the Japanese country happens to be at the key starting point of the Great Wall on the sea, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to allow this place to be occupied by outsiders."
Han Du chuckled, and only said one sentence, which shocked Zhu Biao beyond measure.
"The idea of the Great Wall on the Sea came up when King Dongou and I were discussing naval battles at sea."
"Yes, you proposed it?" Zhu Biao was shocked. If this is true, then wouldn't King Dongou's entire strategy of the Great Sea Wall be Handu's idea? King Dongou only came up with the idea in Handu.
Based on the basics, make it more perfect?
From this point of view, just now Han Du said that destroying the Japanese country was his suggestion, which is not an arrogant statement.
