Zhu Di raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him. Seeing Zhu Gaochi's serious expression, he couldn't help but ask quickly: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Di is still very comfortable these days. He is very happy when he thinks that his good grandson has poached Han Du. Although he was not able to poach Yu Qian, having Yang Qing is enough.
Recently, Yang Qing and others were also communicating with the teachers and students of the academy. Zhu Di learned from the words of the academy teachers that Yang Qing had extremely high attainments in physics and could easily overwhelm everyone in the academy.
Zhu Di also thought this was normal. After all, no one in the Royal Academy of the Ming Dynasty could rival Yang Qing in physics, let alone his academy. In terms of physics, Yang Qing was undoubtedly the best in the world.
Even Zhu Di was thinking in his mind whether to directly confer the title of Marquis of Yang Qing. However, he had just been granted the title of earl. If he were to be granted the title of earl again, he might not be able to explain it to other nobles, so he had to give it up temporarily.
Zhu Gaochi quickly bowed: "Father, there are rumors in the market recently..."
"What did you say?" Zhu Di was immediately angry. He thought there were rumors about him being bad.
"It is said that there is an affair between the Duke of Zhen and the princess of Japan..." Zhu Gaochi couldn't say it. After all, Han Du was Aunt Anqing's consort and his elder.
If this elder has an affair with another woman, what would Zhu Gaochi say?
"Huh?" Zhu Di suddenly became curious when he heard that the rumors were not about him, but about Han Du.
"Are you sure it's Han Du, not Han Shu?" Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and the fire of gossip was burning in his heart.
Zhu Gaochi nodded heavily, "It has nothing to do with Ning Guogong. After all, he has never been to the Japanese country. How could he have anything to do with the Japanese princess?"
"That's true..." Zhu Di touched his chin and chuckled, "I used to think that Han Du was a gentleman, and he married An Qing all his life... Oh, no, this guy is also dating a The Qing dynasty was entangled, and now he is having an affair with the Japanese princess. This guy is having a great time!"
Zhu Gaochi's head was full of black lines. What was this? Shouldn't dad pay attention to the problems in this matter?
He quickly reminded: "Father, if this news is true, will there really be a child between Han Du and the Japanese princess?"
"What are you talking about, there are children?" Zhu Di was not angry at all, only his face was full of excitement, and his eyes were almost shining brightly.
"This...the rumor is like this..." Zhu Gaochi didn't know why his father had such a reaction, and his words became hesitant.
Zhu Di glanced at him and chuckled: "I didn't expect that Han Du also had an illegitimate son, who was born to a Japanese girl..."
Seeing that his father was still unaware of the problem, Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to ask directly: "Father, our situation with the Japanese country is unclear now. If Han Du really has a relationship with the Japanese princess, then I'm afraid..."
Zhu Di touched his chin and glanced at Haodaer, then said solemnly: "You mean, Han Du will go to Japan?"
Zhu Gaochi said nothing, but the meaning revealed in his eyes was clear.
"Although Duke Zhen Guo has always been very disgusted with the Japanese country, counter-intentional schemes and bitter schemes have not never happened, so..."
"So, what do you want to say?" Zhu Di chuckled and looked at Zhu Gaochi meaningfully.
Zhu Gaochi paused and noticed the change in his father's expression. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his words. However, after he swallowed his saliva, he gritted his teeth and continued: "So, I think it's better to be more cautious."
"What are you being cautious about? Are you cautious about Han Du?" Zhu Di stood up unhappy.
Staring at Zhu Gaochi, he walked in front of him in a few steps. Zhu Di took a deep breath and suddenly let out a long sigh: "Han Du hates the Japanese country deeply. This is for sure, you don't have to doubt it."
Zhu Gaochi saw that his father had said this. Although he still felt uneasy, he did not dare to say anything more.
Zhu Di continued: "You were still young at the time, so you didn't understand this. In fact, Han Du had been planning for several years before officially attacking the Japanese country. First, because of the Japanese civil war, Japan sold grain to the Japanese country in large quantities, so the Japanese country
A large number of farmers were requisitioned from the fields, causing almost all the land in Japan to be abandoned."
"Then Han Du immediately cut off the sale of grain when the Japanese country was in a lean period. This directly caused the Japanese country to starve and kill people all over the country. War, famine, and plague came one after another, directly consuming all the vitality of the Japanese country!"
Zhu Di turned around and looked at Zhu Gaochi, and asked with a smile: "Do you think Han Du will side with Japan?"
Hearing what his father said, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were filled with deep fear. Han Du had already planned so much before the Ming Dynasty officially attacked the Japanese country. No wonder the Japanese country, which was once able to resist the Ming Dynasty, did not even have the slightest resistance to resist.
He was crushed by a flat push from Ming Dynasty.
Each of these moves was aimed at the back of the Japanese country's head. It would be unreasonable to say that Han Du would favor the Japanese country.
"But now there are rumors outside that Han Du and the Japanese princess, who is now the Japanese queen, have a child..."
Zhu Gaochi's meaning was very clear. Judging from Han Du's attitude towards Japan in the past, it was indeed impossible for him to stand on Japan's side. But the situation is different now. If Han Du really had a child with the Queen of Japan, who would
Will Han Du's mind change if he knows it?
Zhu Di chuckled, shook his head slightly, looked at his son, and asked pointedly: "Didn't you realize that the timing of this news coming out is a bit weird?"
"Weird?" Zhu Gaochi was stunned, as if he had thought of something.
Zhu Di glanced at him with a smile, raised his eyebrows and reminded: "I ask you, when did Hosokawa Noriyuki come?"
"That's it..." Zhu Gaochi replied subconsciously.
But Zhu Di waved his hand and interrupted, and continued to ask: "Why wasn't this news spread when he came?"
"That must be..." Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and then replied with some lack of confidence: "Did Hosokawa Mokiyuki not know that Han Du was here at that time? What my father meant was that these news were secrets.
Was it deliberately exposed by Kawamochi?"
"Who else could there be besides him?" Zhu Di smiled slightly, as if he had the pearls of wisdom in his hand.
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Is this the idea of slandering Duke Zhenguo after Hosokawa Mochiyuki was embarrassed in front of him?"
"It's not necessarily a slander..." Zhu Di chuckled, "There were rumors that it was Han Du and the Japanese princess who were not clear about it, but Han Du denied it at that time, and the Japanese princess was also missing.
, so the matter passed quickly."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, this matter would be revealed again, hehe..."
