Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Dont Let Go
After a pause, Komatsu Reiko added, "Also, now that we know his identity, it's the best time to investigate his details in the dark. If we come to him now, wouldn't we give it to him?"
Does he have time to prepare?"
"What the master said makes sense, I will go and find out all the information about Han Du." Hosokawa Mochizuki said.
Komatsu Reiko nodded and said, "Go ahead, remember to do it secretly, don't let him notice."
"yes."
A famous card arrived at the Duke's Mansion, and the fifth uncle, the housekeeper, found the princess with this strange famous card.
"What's up?"
An Qing asked in a gentle voice when he saw the housekeeper coming in.
The fifth uncle knew that the princess was kind-hearted, but he still did not neglect it at all. He quickly bowed and replied, "Someone handed me a strange name card. There is no signature and I don't know who handed it to me."
An Qing's expression suddenly darkened slightly after hearing this, "Hasn't Fifth Uncle heard about what happened in Kuang Yihou's residence some time ago? An inexplicable famous post, without anyone's signature, turned out to be an uproar. Even Kuang Yi
Hou Du has suffered unjust injustice."
An Qing glanced at the name card in the butler's hand, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he said, "For things of unknown origin, you can just deal with them directly. There is no need to give them to me."
The fifth uncle's expression changed when he heard this, and then he remembered this matter. He secretly thought that the princess was still very smart, and if the reputation of the Zhenguo Palace was ruined because of this thing, then he would never forgive her sin.
"Yes, I'll take care of it now. Your Highness, please rest assured that no one like this will ever enter the house in the future."
An Qing smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Uncle Wu, go get busy."
When he came to the front yard, Uncle Wu looked down at the inexplicable name card in his hand and sneered. After thinking for a while, he returned to his room and lifted the copper kettle on the coal stove. The honeycomb briquettes below were burning vigorously.
Throwing the name card in, I saw that the originally gorgeous name card with gold threads in the white color quickly became charred, curled, and then burned into ashes as the flames emerged.
Komatsu Reiko never expected that all the invitations she sent to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion would come to nothing without any news. Unable to bear it, she wanted to try her old trick again and block the door, but as soon as she went there, she was beaten by the soldiers guarding the door.
Forced to leave.
Originally, she thought that after finding out Han Du's details, she would be able to catch Han Du when he suddenly appeared in front of him, but she did not expect that she could not even enter the gate of the Zhenguo Palace.
"Why don't my subordinates come directly to the door and see how Han Du denies it?" Hosokawa Mochi became angry and finally found Han Du.
But you can't even get through the door, what's going on?
Komatsu Reiko gave him a cold look, "Do you want to make this matter known to everyone?"
What is handling? God knows that you know and I know, and no more people know about it. This is called handling. If it causes trouble all over the city, how can you handle it? If Han Du is upset and breaks the jar, then
Isn't she, Komatsu Reiko, trying to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain?
"But Master, now we can't even enter the gate of the Duke's mansion, what can we do?" Hosokawa Mochiyuki said helplessly.
Xiaosong Lingzi frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "If the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain. If you carefully inquire about Han Du's whereabouts, I won't believe that he has been hiding in the Zhenguo Palace all his life. Once the mountain comes, I will go to the mountain."
Once he comes out, our opportunity will come."
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
This was the best way now. Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly agreed and then turned around to make arrangements.
Regarding the matter of someone handing over a name card, Han Du knew nothing about it due to the obstruction of the housekeeper.
After a few days of leisure, Han Du suddenly received news from someone sent by Xue Xiang, and he quickly rode a carriage to the academy.
Han Du suddenly opened the door of Xue Xiang's study and saw him sitting on a chair calmly, holding a teapot in his hand to pour himself tea.
Han Du immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief and said, "Sir, you really want to scare me to death."
Xue Xiang raised his head and glanced at Han Du, then stretched out his hand to signal, "Sit down."
Han Duyiyan sat down opposite Xue Xiang, took the tea from him and took a sip.
Xue Xiang smiled and said, "I didn't scare you. My time is coming soon."
"What are you talking about?" Han Du looked at Xue Xiang's rosy face, which didn't look like he said the deadline was not far away at all.
Xue Xiang let out a hehe and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. You'd better prepare as soon as possible. By the way, how did you find the person you were asked to find?"
Seeing Xue Xiang's serious look, Han Du had no choice but to follow his words, "I have found a candidate who is very knowledgeable and is very suitable to take over your management of the academy. But"
"But if nothing else, there must be an accident, right?" Xue Xiang smiled meaningfully.
Han Du nodded and sighed, "He is obsessed with being an official, and even wants to climb to a high position at all costs. Now I am afraid that he will not be able to manage the academy and
No interest whatsoever."
"You are still too young and don't know the benefits of coming to the academy." Xue Xiang sighed, then looked at Han Du and said, "I don't care, there is nothing I can do about it. Anyway, I have told you in advance, if you can't find it
Man, when I close my eyes, you will be the only one here."
Han Du was speechless. Why did he feel that the old man Xue Xiang was relying on him?
"I'll go and persuade him again." Helpless, Han Du had no choice but to nod. .??.??
After leaving the academy, Han Du did not look for Xie Jin this time. Because he knew that searching would be in vain and Xie Jin would definitely not be willing to take over the academy.
But Han Du didn't do anything about it. He could force the head of an ox without drinking water. Could it be that Han Du couldn't deal with Jie Jin? Go to Zhu Biao and issue an order directly. He would have to come even if Jie Jin couldn't come, unless he wanted to
To resist the decree.
So Han Du went directly to the palace to ask for an audience with Zhu Biao.
"You want to find someone to replace Xue Gongbu and take charge of the academy?" Zhu Biao was a little surprised at Han Du's idea. "Isn't Xue Gongbu in charge of the academy well? Why do you want to find someone suddenly?"
Han Du told Zhu Biao about Xue Xiang's situation.
Zhu Biao sighed and stood up, "Xue Gongbu is also eighty-four this year, right?"
Han Du didn't know Xue Xiang's age, but he knew that Zhu Biao would remember it correctly.
In an era when seventy-year-old people are rare, an eighty-four-year-old man can really live a long life.
"Then do you have a candidate?" Zhu Biao turned around and asked Han Du, and joked, "In fact, not only Xue Gongbu, I also think you are the best to be in charge of the academy."
Han Du suddenly glanced at Zhu Biao helplessly. He had finally been relaxed for two days, how could he work so hard again? Why did he work so hard to get a map of the Duke of the Kingdom? He couldn't just eat and wait for death.
Don’t you dare to offend anyone?
"have!"
"Who is it?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but become curious. He also understood Han Du's character and knew that ordinary people would never be able to catch his eye.
"Xie Jin." Han Du replied.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile, and then asked with a strange expression, "Is this the Jie Jin you recommended to me?"
"Exactly."
"Why him?" Zhu Biao asked.
Han Du heard the strangeness in Zhu Biao's demeanor and couldn't help but be surprised. How long had it been? Could it be that Xie Jin was valued by Zhu Biao?
After thinking for a while, he suppressed this idea in his heart and continued, "This man is talented and knowledgeable.
, being in charge of the academy complements each other."
"Oh? Are you interested in talents?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but asked with a smile.
In Zhu Biao's eyes, the academy was Han Du's hard work. Originally, he thought that even if Han Du was not in charge of the academy, he would have let Fang Xiaoru take charge. However, he did not expect that Han Du wanted the unknown Xie Jin.
Apart from Han Du's love for talent, he couldn't think of any other reason to take charge.
Han Du nodded and admitted openly, "Judging from my contact with him, Xie Jin is indeed a great talent. But at the same time, he pursues fame and fortune too much. I'm worried that if he continues like this, he will be ruined."
He is full of talent and learning, so I thought of letting him go to the academy to hone his skills so that he could become the emperor's assistant in the future."
Zhu Biao nodded first, agreeing with Han Du's answer. But then he shook his head, "Jie Jin, I can't give it to you."
"Why?" Han Du felt that he had made it so clear. Even if it was for his own future, Zhu Biao should agree to let Xie Jin go to the academy.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao still disagreed.
Zhu Biao suddenly smiled awkwardly and said, "As you said, I also found that this Xie Jin is very talented. So a few months ago, I asked him to preside over the compilation of the records of Emperor Taizu Gao. Now Emperor Taizu Gao
The compilation of the records has just begun, how can he leave and go to the academy?"
Han Du immediately shut up. The Records of Emperor Taizu Gao are a book that shows Lao Zhu's great achievements in his life. It is more important to Zhu Biao than all other matters. This is not only related to the legitimacy of Zhu Biao's succession to the throne, but also to the Ming Dynasty.
s future.
Xie Jin is now in charge of such an important matter, so of course it is impossible for him to go to the academy.
However, Han Du also admired Xie Jin's talent. How long had it been since he had recommended him that he had gone from being a small seventh-level emperor walking in front of the emperor to being in charge of the compilation of the true records of Emperor Taizu Gao?
Even though Xie Jin has not been promoted and is still at the seventh rank, after he compiles the true records of Emperor Taizu Gao, it will not be surprising at all to be promoted to a third rank even if he is promoted to a minister.
What does this mean? Does it mean that I worry in vain, or does Jie Jin get what he wants?
"Okay. If that's the case, then I'll find a way on my own." Han Du had no choice but to say this.
Zhu Biao sighed slightly, "Please take more care of Xue Gongbu. When I am done with my busy schedule, I will go to the academy to visit him."
After hearing this, Han Du couldn't help but glance at the imperial case, and saw that the memorial on it almost overwhelmed the place where Zhu Biao was sitting.
