Chapter 1410 Do you really want to kill them all before you stop?
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi looked at each other, with a hint of panic in their expressions.
"What do you think?" Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du and asked in a deep voice.
Han Du sighed and said: "I'm afraid the emperor knows exactly what we are thinking. If we want to save Song Guogong, we must use our troops quickly. We must rescue Song Guogong before the emperor gives the order."
To be honest, Han Du really didn't want to get involved in such a hand. But there was no way. Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru came one after another, and Han Du knew that he could no longer stay out of it. In this case, it might as well be
Accept it calmly, and then find a way to rescue Feng Sheng.
After thinking for a moment, Han Du suddenly asked: "I would like to ask, how many days until Song Guogong arrives in the capital?"
Although Zhu Ji is Feng Sheng's son-in-law, he is buried in the Imperial Hospital all day long. He is really not very clear about his father's will. As for when Lao Taishan will return to Beijing, he really doesn't know, so he has to
Look at His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhu Biao immediately said: "According to the emperor father's will and the schedule of Song Guogong, it should be three days later."
"Three days later~" Han Du thought about the time, "it's still a bit tight."
After saying that, Han Du looked up at the two of them and said, "In this case, without further delay, I will enter the palace immediately to see the emperor."
"You have a solution?" Zhu Biao was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "Do you want me to help you? As long as I can be useful, just ask." .??.
Han Du raised his hand and refused: "No. It is inappropriate for His Highness and Prince to get involved in this matter. Let me go to see the Emperor alone. And we only have one chance. If we don't succeed, we will be benevolent."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Han Du's view. He knew his father very well. Since the death of his mother, his father had never shown a smile, even to him. Zhu Biao knew that his father was
He has not yet gotten over the death of his mother, so his father must be the most moody at this time. If he directly begged his father to spare Song Guogong, he might not only fail to save Song Guogong, but also have the opposite effect.
.
This is why Zhu Biao did not go to see his father first, but came to see Han Du first.
Han Du looked at Zhu Ru and said, "I can't guarantee whether I can persuade the emperor. If you fail, don't blame me."
Zhu Zhu nodded slowly and heavily, "I will do my best to obey fate, I understand."
"That's good." With Zhu Zhu's words, Han Du truly felt relieved.
He smiled at the two of them and said, "Without further delay, I will go into the palace to see the emperor."
Han Du guessed
That's right, while he and Zhu Biao were discussing in the mansion, Lao Zhu's eyes were always staring at them.
Lao Zhu sat in the Qianqing Palace with a gloomy expression, and asked as if he had accidentally asked, "What is the prince doing?"
The old eunuch immediately stepped forward and replied softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not review the memorial today. He went to the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion to find Han Du."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he snorted coldly and said to himself: "Biao'er is still too kind. If you are an emperor and don't have thunderous means, how can you make the world surrender?"
The old eunuch stood aside silently, as if he were a deaf-mute.
Lao Zhu did not ask the old eunuch again, and lowered his head to read the memorial in his hand. Suddenly, Lao Zhu shouted sharply: "The governor of Shaanxi Province can't even build a cement road. He must be detained immediately and returned to Beijing to wait.
Disappointed."
Hearing the murderous words of the emperor, the old eunuch could imagine that the chief envoy's head might be in danger without even looking.
Since the death of the empress, the emperor's temper has become much more violent, and he often accuses officials for minor problems. Such a murderous emperor scares the old eunuchs who have been with him for more than ten years, and they dare not say a word.
Within a moment, a eunuch came outside the palace and stuck his head out.
The old eunuch was about to go to ask, but Lao Zhu suddenly raised his head and slapped the imperial pen on the imperial case.
He said angrily: "What are you doing by probing your head? If anything happens, come in and report it."
The eunuch was very frightened. Although he usually glanced at the emperor when delivering messages, he had never seen the emperor when he was angry. Now the emperor's anger suddenly came to him, and he was scared to death.
Outside, he walked towards the palace tremblingly. Before he reached the front of the palace, his legs gave out and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
The eunuch wanted to raise his head and ask for help from the old eunuch, but he only saw the old eunuch turning his face to one side, with no intention of speaking for him at all.
When the matter came to an end, even though cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the eunuch still forced himself to speak: "Return to your Majesty, Han Du, the Marquis of Zhenhai, is asking for an audience."
When he heard that Han Du was coming, Lao Zhu showed an unexpected expression on his face. He waved his hand and said: "Tell him to go back and disappear."
"Yes." The eunuch, as if he had been pardoned, quickly turned around and walked out.
Han Du waited at the palace gate for a long time, but only waited for the news that Lao Zhu had not seen him.
Seeing that the eunuch was about to turn around and leave, Han Du quickly stopped him, "My father-in-law, wait a minute."
The eunuch had no choice but to stop, turned around and bowed slightly to Han Du, "Master Marquis, since the Emperor doesn't want to see you, then please ask Master Marquis to go back."
Glancing around, he saw that none of the guards were looking at him. He moved closer to Han Du and continued, "To be honest, the emperor has been in a bad mood these days. It would be better for the marquis not to bring trouble on himself."
Han Du thought for a while and decided to give it another try. So he said: "I have a memorial that I want to submit to the emperor. I wonder if my father-in-law can submit it to the emperor on my behalf?"
Memorials from ordinary officials must naturally go through the General Affairs Department, and then be submitted step by step to Lao Zhu. But Han Du is different. He has the right to directly submit the memorial and can directly submit it to the palace. Moreover, regardless of whether Han Du's memorial is
Which eunuch receives it must present it to the emperor in person.
The eunuch was suddenly in a dilemma. He could not refuse Han Du's request. But he did not want to go to the emperor at this time to get into trouble. If he was not good, the guy he was eating would have to move today.
When he was in trouble, Han Du quietly took out a stack of treasure notes, about three hundred coins in size, from his arms and stuffed them into the eunuch's arms. ??
"Master Marquis, this" the eunuch wanted to refuse, but Han Du was faster and did not give him a chance to refuse, so he stuffed the treasure money into his arms.
When the eunuch saw this, he also knew that Han Du's memorial could not be shied away from him, so he quickly put away the treasure. Then he said helplessly: "Please take out the memorial, please. I will present it to the emperor right away."
Han Du smiled and said, "I haven't written the memorial yet, so I'd like to ask my father-in-law to prepare some pen, ink, paper and inkstones."
The eunuch immediately pointed at Han Du in astonishment. He had been at the gate of the palace for several years, and he had never encountered a memorial like this that needed to be written in advance. But there was no way. He had already collected Han Du's money. How could he still return it?
Can I go back?
Han Du also knew that this matter was a bit ridiculous, so he smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, father-in-law, my memorial will not exceed twenty words, and it will not take long."
This was the first time for a eunuch to encounter a twenty-word memorial. But since the Marquis of Zhenhai had said so, he had nothing to worry about, so he went to find some pens, inks, paper and inkstones for Han Du.
Han Du spread out the paper and did not say any greetings to Lao Zhu. He only mentioned a poem on the paper. After folding it, he handed it to the eunuch and said, "Please present it to your majesty, father-in-law."
The eunuch was stunned and asked doubtfully: "That's it? Is it really that simple?"
Han Du smiled and nodded.
The eunuch immediately took the paper and said: "Okay, I will go and present it to the prince now, but the prince should go back and wait."
The eunuch didn't think Han Du's move would be useful at all, and wanted to send Han Du away first.
Han Du smiled confidently and said: "I will stay here and wait for a while. If the emperor is still unwilling to summon me, then I will go back immediately."
Seeing that Han Du was so confident, the eunuch stopped trying to persuade him and took the paper and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
Lao Zhu continued to review the memorial with his head lowered. Ever since his sister left, his heart has always been filled with a sense of irritability. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but he could not find a way to vent it. The more he suppressed it, the more he felt uncomfortable.
In my heart, this feeling of irritability increased.
This is also the reason why Lao Zhu has become moody recently.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the eunuch sticking his head out of the palace door. Lao Zhu suddenly became furious and roared: "Get in, if you can't give me an explanation, I will kill you."
The eunuch immediately felt guilty, regretting so much that he had coveted Zhenhaihou's treasure, so much so that he feared for his life.
However, the eunuch was still awake and knew that he could only resign himself to fate at this time. So he took out Han Du's paper and said, "Back to the emperor, the Marquis of Zhenhai has something important to present."
Lao Zhu felt better when he saw that Han Du did not ask endlessly for an audience again, but wrote a letter. If he had clearly ordered Han Du to go back, but Han Du continued to ask for an interview endlessly,
.Then Lao Zhu will feel that Han Du has drifted away and is suspected of forcing the palace.
Now Han Du has changed to writing a letter, at least his attitude is correct.
Lao Zhu glanced at the old eunuch and said, "Send it up."
The old eunuch quickly saluted and took the paper down with both hands. At the same time, he glanced at the eunuch and asked him to take this opportunity to leave.
All the eunuchs in the palace are under the jurisdiction of the old lady. Since they are his people, he naturally has to take care of them.
The eunuch glanced at the old eunuch gratefully, took this opportunity and quickly turned around and left.
The old eunuch took the paper, walked to Lao Zhu's side, and placed his hands respectfully on the imperial desk.
Lao Zhu looked at the folded paper, paused for a few breaths, and then reached out to pick it up and open it.
Just one glance made Lao Zhu's eyes widen involuntarily, and his mind was extremely shaken.
"After all the calamity, brothers meet again and forget their grudges with a smile."
