After Zhu Zhu left, Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask Han Du, "You came here today not only to visit me, right? What's the matter? Just tell me."
"Your Majesty~" Seeing that Zhu Biao was discussing matters with Han Du again, Han Jingyun couldn't help but complain, "Did your Majesty look at what King Zhou just said before and then give him another instruction?"
Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly, waved his hands and said, "Just listen for a while, it shouldn't hurt, right?"
Han Jingyun glared at Han Du angrily, turned around and left, out of sight.
Han Du then said, "Your Majesty, the ministers in the cabinet have already made arrangements. Maybe it won't be long before they select the memorial. After the vote is drafted, will the ministers stay in the house temporarily or send it to the emperor?"
Zhu Biao turned back and glanced at Han Jingyun's back, and then his hands hung weakly on the armrests of the chair, sighing, "Let's put it in the cabinet for now. If I review the memorial now, I'm afraid Jingyun will be unhappy again."
Han Du nodded, "That's fine. According to my estimation, there won't be many memorials that require the emperor's approval. Even if we deal with them in a few days, it doesn't matter."
Seeing that Han Du had finished speaking and had no intention of leaving, Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"
Han Du was silent for a moment and reminded softly, "Your Majesty, is it possible to close the net in Japan?"
When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately became energetic. He looked at Han Du meaningfully and said jokingly, "What? The princess came to the capital just to ask you to let Japan go. Don't you have any indication?" ??
"What should I express?" Han Du asked Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao immediately raised his hand and pointed at Han Du, sighing, "You really don't know how to show mercy to women. But I heard that the Japanese princess is also a stunning beauty!"
Han Du frowned and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, are you?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Han Du meant. He immediately smiled and shook his head, sighing, "Of course I have no idea about her. Firstly, I have Jingyun. Secondly, you have seen the bones in my body."
, even now my fifth brother is advising me to exercise restraint."
It would be fine if not. Han Du was shocked just now. If Zhu Biao really has thoughts about Xiaosong Lingzi, it would be a small thing to let the Japanese country escape. The key is that Xiaosong Lingzi has really slept with him. When the time comes,
Han Du didn't even know how to explain to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao had seen countless people, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong with Han Du's expression.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked in surprise, "You didn't really have anything to do with the Japanese princess, did you?"
Facing Zhu Biao's questioning, Han Du subconsciously wanted to refute. But he suddenly thought that if Zhu Biao really had thoughts about Komatsu Reiko, wouldn't he have to
Self-defeating?
So, Han Du nodded slowly.
Zhu Biao had no objection to Han Du really having a relationship with Komatsu Reiko, but asked in surprise, "Isn't it right? You and her are like this, and now people are asking for help, and you can still refuse so cruelly?"
Han Du didn't know how to explain it. After being silent for a while, he could only say, "She is her, and the Japanese country is the Japanese country."
"How do you say that?" Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
Han Du took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The Japanese country has a wolf-like nature, fearing threats but not being immoral! Before the Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese countries in the Central Plains were very respectful. Even though the power of the Song Dynasty was so far away, the Japanese countries never showed any respect for the Song Dynasty.
Not respectful. Instead, I admire the Central Plains and have many contacts with him.”
"But after the Yuan Dynasty recruited naval forces to attack the Japanese country, but they were buried under the sea due to a strong wind, the Japanese country thought that they were blessed by the divine wind, and they no longer had the slightest respect for the Central Plains. This was why the Japanese country dared to kill the Ming Dynasty.
Because of the envoys. In the view of the Japanese country, they have the blessing of the divine wind, and there is no need to fear the Central Plains. Even for many years, the Japanese pirates have deliberately plundered the Ming Dynasty's waters, and now the Japanese country has not truly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Even in their eyes,
The Ming Dynasty is actually equivalent to the unarmed people who were killed by them. They can be plundered and bullied by them at will. If we don't deal with the Japanese country harshly this time, it is best to destroy it. Then we will follow them in the future.
The expansion of arrogance and ambition may become a thorn in the side of Ming Dynasty!"
Of course Zhu Biao is clear
The strength of the Chu and Japanese countries was far less than that of the Ming Dynasty, but as Han Du said, sometimes the Japanese countries did not think so, they would only believe the news they saw and heard.
"how do you want to do it?"
Han Du sighed and took out twenty-one items from his arms.
"What is this?" Zhu Biao reached out and took it, then opened it and started reading.
"This is a treaty prepared for the Japanese country. I talked with Komatsu Reiko. If the Japanese country can agree to these conditions, then the Ming Dynasty will not be able to let them go. Unfortunately, Komatsu Reiko refused." Han Du explained.
Zhu Biao read a few articles and couldn't help but look up at Han Du, then lowered his head and continued reading.
After reading it, Zhu Biao looked at Han Du with a strange expression and sighed, "I think it's normal that she didn't agree to such a harsh condition. If she agreed, I think it's abnormal. How did you come up with it?"
these things
Yes, as long as you don’t want to betray your country and seek glory, I’m afraid you won’t agree to it, right?”
Han Du curled his lips and said, "Whether you agree or not is not up to the Japanese. As long as you beat them enough to break their hearts, they will agree."
This is not because I deliberately made things difficult for the Japanese, but because of the cycle of cause and effect.
At this moment, Zhu Biao noticed that Han Jingyun was coming over again. He quickly put something into Han Du's hand and motioned for him to put it away.
He sighed, "You have seen my current state. Let's discuss this matter after I recover in a few days."
"Yes." Han Du nodded and put away the documents. Anyway, the Japanese country was already unable to struggle. A few more days and a few less days would not have any impact.
"Then, I take my leave."
Zhu Biao waved his hand, "Go ahead."
When Han Jingyun saw that his brother was about to leave, he smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you leave after eating."
Han Du shook his head, "No, An Qing is still waiting for me at home."
"Then, brother, walk slowly."
"Your Majesty, stay here, I will leave now!"
Seeing that it was still early, Han Du went straight to the Ministry of Household Affairs after leaving the palace.
Speaking of which, Han Du has not been to the transfer department for a long time since he took over the academy. Even when Han Du handed over the academy to the gentleman below, he was too busy to come.
As soon as he entered and sat down, officials from the Ministry of Revenue, led by Wang Yuanji and Zhao Yu, all congratulated Han Du.
"Congratulations, sir, on becoming a bachelor of Shofu University."
Han Du also waved his hands to everyone with a happy face, "Everyone, get up, I've received the Xinyi. After you leave your duties today, you all go to the seafood restaurant, I'll treat you."
"Thank you, sir." Everyone thanked him.
Even among the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, many people only go to the seafood restaurant once in a while, and many people are even reluctant to spend the money to go there.
Since seafood restaurants became famous, there have been countless imitators. Although these restaurants have been imitating, they have never been able to surpass seafood restaurants. However, they are more advantageous in that they are cheap, allowing many customers who are reluctant to spend money to go to seafood restaurants to try something new.
Therefore, it is also very popular in the capital.
Han Du asked all the delighted officials to retreat, leaving only Wang Yuanji and Zhao Yu.
"During my absence from the household department, nothing went wrong, right?"
Wang Yuanji is one of the most talented people in the academy, and he has served as the governor of a place for many years. He can be said to be a capable person who stands alone.
Because of his presence, Han Du would feel free to hide in the academy and laze around.
But to Han Du's surprise, Wang Yuanji smiled bitterly after hearing this and said, "Sir, it really does happen. Moreover, it happened recently."
"Oh? What happened?" Han Du looked up in surprise.
Wang Yuanji hurriedly said, "Recently, because your Excellency has become the First Assistant University Scholar, both the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War have been making things difficult for the Ministry of Husbandry. The Ministry of War is even better, after all, there are not many places where they can control the Ministry of Husbandry. But the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of
Official selection, course examination, knighthood, etc. A few days ago, the Ministry of Civil Affairs came to conduct examinations for meritorious service.”
"What are they doing here?" Han Du asked subconsciously
Frowning.
Merit Examination by the Ministry of Civil Affairs The Qing Dynasty Civil Service Department is in charge of the merits of officials. Normally, they would not go to each ministry in person. Instead, each ministry will report meritorious officials and they will evaluate and select them.
Now that they have come to the Ministry of Household Affairs in person, they don't think they are here to evaluate the merits of the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, right?
Sure enough, Wang Yuanji smiled bitterly, "They pointed out that several officials in the Ministry of Revenue did not have enough merit in the examination and they want to be deposed."
"Who are you going to depose?" Han Du's eyes showed a sharp look.
"They are all deposed." Wang Yuanji did not dare to raise his head to look at Han Du. He knew that his husband deliberately did not come to the household department and handed over all the affairs of the household department to him, just to give him the opportunity to take charge of the household department and do his best.
In order to train him, but in the end, he managed the household department like this. He felt deeply ashamed in front of Han Du.
If they are all deposed, that means that no official in the entire household department will be promoted this year?
It's not a small thing to be promoted, but he is so willing to slap Han Du in the face!
It would have been fine if the officials of the Ministry of Revenue could not be promoted without merit, but now they are being deliberately pushed aside despite their merit.
How could Han Du endure such a bad breath? If he still swallowed his anger, how could the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs be convinced in the future?
After Wang Yuanji finished speaking, he looked at his husband's expression. Seeing that he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but said softly, "Sir, the official department is deliberately embarrassing the household department."
Han Du glanced at him, shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't mean to embarrass Hubu, I meant to embarrass myself!"
"Sir" Wang Yuanji was about to speak but stopped.
Han Du suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "What would you do if you were my officer?"
"Me?" Wang Yuanji immediately began to think seriously. After a moment, he shook his head slightly and sighed, "I will start a meeting with the emperor and let the emperor make a fair decision."
