Han Du looked at the people leaving and let out a long breath of relief. He wanted to laugh out loud, but he was afraid that it would be inappropriate to be heard by the ears of the partition wall in this prison. He suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at
Despite the pain in his arms, he stood up and ran to his father, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Han Du found that his father's face was still sad, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Han De looked at his son whose face changed greatly and sighed: "I don't want to throw cold water on you. Do you know who that person was just now?"
"I don't know." Han Du replied neatly. He really didn't know. Although Han Du had lived in this capital for several years, his father had always strictly required him to study, so he had been exposed to basic
They were all classmates of about the same age as him, and they had never cared about who was an official in the court.
Could this man be dad's enemy?
Thinking of this, Han Du's mood fell from the clouds to the bottom, and he said in a trembling voice: "Dad, is he your enemy?"
If that person is really my father's enemy, then my life is really over. What I just did was as ridiculous as putting a life-saving straw under someone else's scissors, and then being cut off with a pair of scissors with a grin.
The more Han Du thought about it, the paler his face became.
Han De did not expect that his son would have so many inner dramas, and continued: "He is not really my father's enemy. As an official, your father and I just don't want to join in with those people, but no one has any deep grudge against me."
, they’re really not really any enemies.”
"Huh, it's okay if it's not, it's okay if it's not" Han Du said to himself after hearing the words, and then asked softly: "What does dad mean?"
Han De glanced helplessly and said: "His name is Lan Yu. He was defeated not long ago and was reprimanded by His Majesty. Even if he wants to help you, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't see him. What's more, he may not have the courage now.
If you want to arouse His Majesty's anger, you'd better give up. It seems that my Han family will not be able to survive this disaster. It's a pity."
Han De looked at Han Du and sighed and shook his head.
But Han Du's eyes suddenly widened, and he didn't notice his father's words at all. His mind was filled with the word "Lanyu".
Who is Sapphire?
Even Han Du, a man in science and engineering, knew that this was the main culprit in the Lan Yu case, the man whose family was confiscated and exterminated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The two most famous cases during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty were the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case. Not to mention the Hu Weiyong case, it was just the Lan Yu case, and tens of thousands of people were implicated and killed.
As his mind was spinning, Han Du only had two thoughts in his mind. One was that Lan Yu didn't dare to see Zhu Yuanzhang, so he would be beheaded in a few days, and he didn't know if there would be a chance to travel back. The other was that Lan Yu didn't dare to see Zhu Yuanzhang.
Yu presented his petition to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then pardoned his whole family, but from then on he was considered a member of Lan Yu's party, and a few years later he was sneaked out and beheaded by Lao Zhu.
There is death on both sides, that is, the difference between early death and late death.
At this time, Han Du had something in his mind that he wanted to curse, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.
Lan Yu and his party finished their official business and left the Penal Department Prison.
Standing at the door of the prison, the official next to him looked at the clothes Lan Yu was holding in his hands, with a smile on his face, and asked: "General Lan, do you really want to help him and take this thing to see His Majesty?"
"How about you go?" Lan Yu stretched out her hand expressionlessly and handed the clothes to the official.
The official was suddenly frightened, as if avoiding a snake or scorpion, he took two steps back and raised his hands, "No, no, no, I don't want to bother you about anything, General Lan should go on his own."
Lan Yu didn't think he would take the shirt. Seeing that he refused so simply, he took it back and sighed expressionlessly: "The defeated general, I'm afraid your majesty may not summon me."
When the official saw Lan Yu retracting his hand, he stepped forward to where he was. Hearing the sigh, the official asked curiously: "Since the general is in such a difficult situation, why should he help the Han family? As far as I know, then
There shouldn't be any friendship between Minister Han and the general."
"Of course I, the general, have no friendship with that Minister Han." Lan Yu snorted softly.
"The reason why I want to present this thing to Your Majesty is because the boy said that this thing is related to the people of the world. Your Majesty often says that the affairs of the people are no small matter, so even if there is a possibility, I will not
neglect."
Sighing slightly, Lan Yu continued: "Secondly, it's him who makes me feel that we share the same problem."
"Suffering from the same disease? I don't understand very well." The officials on the side did not understand Lan Yu's meaning for a short time. Others are in jail, but you, General Lan, are not in jail. What kind of disease do you have in common?
"I, Lan Yu, used to be very high-spirited, but since that battle." Lan Yu paused, moved her lips a few times without making a sound, as if it was too difficult to say and she didn't want to mention it again. ??
After a moment, he continued: "You see that kid is trapped in prison now. In fact, it's not like he is in prison in this capital city. If this goes on, maybe one day he gets moldy and no one knows about it. Anyway, I'm here
When I saw the boy's eyes, I suddenly felt that I was in a similar situation to him. In this case, while I am still able to help him, I would like to help him once."
The officials on the side understood what Lan Yu meant. Lan Yu had been left out for too long.
The official didn't want to mention this issue in front of Lan Yu at all, so he cupped his hands towards Lan Yu and said, "Now that I understand General Lan's matter, I still have official duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
The official's robes flew away, and his thin body looked a little funny under the official robes. This is a true bureaucratic style. He will not explore things that have nothing to do with him at all, but is afraid that it will be contaminated on him.
.
Lan Yu glanced at the departing official and said nothing more.
He lowered his head and focused his eyes on the clothes in his hand. Although he wanted to help, it was naturally impossible to go to see His Majesty with it like this. He had to find someone to help.
Who should I contact?
Lan Yu thought for a moment, and a person came to his mind. His Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be able to do it.
Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and Chang Yuchun is the father-in-law of Prince Zhu Biao, so as the uncle of the Crown Princess, Lan Yu has always tried his best to protect His Royal Highness.
.
Whether talking about the closeness between relatives or their subordination, the first thing Lan Yu thinks of is Prince Zhu Biao.
Thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince, Lan Yu's gloomy face all day began to bring a smile. She wanted to open her clothes to see what the boy had written inside, but she hadn't opened it yet. Lan Yu hesitated for a moment and then tried again.
Put the clothes back.
Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. Isn't that why the official left just now?
After gathering her mood, Lan Yu raised her head and headed towards the East Palace.
The East Palace is the palace of Prince Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao has been living here since he was established as the crown prince in the first year of Hongwu. Zhu Biao was only thirteen years old this year.
Since Zhu Biao came of age, he began to assist Zhu Yuanzhang in handling state affairs.
In fact, the relationship between most emperors and princes in history was not very good. After all, as the first heir to the throne, the crown prince naturally poses the greatest threat to the emperor on the throne.
For example, Kangxi, who is known as the one emperor through the ages, established and deposed the crown prince, deposed and established the crown prince twice, and deposed the crown prince twice. Isn't the purpose of this is to prevent the crown prince from becoming bigger and threatening his throne? And then he even said it hypocritically.
Why does the Crown Prince fail to live up to expectations? In fact, the Crown Prince's failure to live up to expectations was not forced out by Kangxi.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's love for Zhu Biao was almost unlimited, and he no longer established additional government officials outside the East Palace. When Zhu Yuanzhang went out to fight, the prince supervised the country, so that the generals and prime ministers could assist.
If Zhu Biao wanted the throne, he could take it away at any time.
It can be seen that Lao Zhu really trusted Zhu Biao and was not wary at all, which is unique in history.
If we say that when Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on going his own way, there were only two people in the world who could persuade him. One was Queen Ma, and the other was Zhu Biao.
The East Palace is also within the imperial city. As the uncle of the Crown Princess, Lan Yu can go to the East Palace without being summoned.
Lan Yu came to the East Palace to meet the prince. The guard asked Lan Yu to wait for a moment and then led Lan Yu into the East Palace.
