If Princess Anqing has not been betrothed to anyone yet, Han Du is still a little sure. But now he is not even sure about it. After all, it is Lao Zhu who made the betrothal himself.
The emperor's golden words naturally brook no regrets.
Ordinary people would be scorned if they regretted their marriage, let alone the royal family.
It was difficult, it was so difficult that Han Du was at a loss what to do for a while.
When Zhu Biao saw Han Du's appearance, he still didn't know what was wrong with him? Unfortunately, even if Han Du fell in love with An Qing, it didn't matter. Even if he asked his father for mercy, he couldn't make him change his mind.
He could only comfort him softly: "Forget An Qing, you just met once. Although you like An Qing, since your father has promised to get married, no one can change it. Besides, An Qing only met you once, so
I may not like you."
Is it that easy to just say what I want?
Han Du couldn't forget the figure in his previous life who didn't dislike him for being poor, didn't dislike himself for not having a car, didn't dislike that he didn't have a house, gave birth to a big fat boy, and did laundry and cooking for him.
After bowing his head in silence for a long time, Han Du's eyes were already red when he raised his head, as if he was asking himself and Zhu Biao: "What should I do if I can't forget?"
Zhu Biao was also shocked when he saw Han Du's appearance. He did not expect that Han Du would become like this in such a short period of time. Facing Han Du's questions, the look on his face gradually became serious and serious.
The voice said: "There is no if, if you can't forget it, you will forget it until you die."
After the words fell, Han Du fell silent.
Seeing his miserable expression, Zhu Biao couldn't bear to persuade him: "My father has always been arbitrary, and this matter is about the royal family's face. You can't even enter the harem, so what can you do?"
Yes, he couldn't even enter the harem, so what could he do? Han Du was in a very low mood.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Biao.
I can't get in by myself, but someone can. Isn't this the person in front of me?
Seeing that Han Du suddenly became energetic, Zhu Biao thought he had repented, and said lightly: "Have you figured it out? As long as you figure it out, it will be fine. Once you figure it out, just be your servant."
Han Du instantly grabbed Zhu Biao's arm, which startled Zhu Biao. He thought something was wrong with Han Du and looked at him in surprise.
A smile appeared on Han Du's face and he said kindly: "Your Highness, I will be loyal to you."
Zhu Biao nodded.
In Zhu Biao's eyes, Han Du was down-to-earth and hard-working. No matter what he did, he was always in a hurry, which changed the procrastination style of the court in the past. In addition, although he had not been an official for a long time, he had never done anything out of the ordinary.
.
"Then I didn't forget His Highness when I was doing something good, right?" Han Du continued to ask.
This is true, Zhu Biao nodded subconsciously.
When Han Du bought the coal mine, his father took half of it. The remaining 50% was originally given to Han Du. But Han Du refused to accept it and forcibly gave 40% to me, leaving only 40% for himself.
One percent.
Forty percent of the coal mine will be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver a year after it is officially sold. Based on this, Han Du said that he would give Zhu Biao a benefit, and Zhu Biao had to nod in recognition.
Seeing Zhu Biao's recognition, Han Du smiled with satisfaction, "Then I'm in trouble now. Shouldn't Your Highness help me?"
Only then did Zhu Biao realize that Han Du had just been preparing the ground for digging a hole.
Zhu Biao's eyes widened, "What do you want to do?" Although he roughly guessed Han Du's purpose, he still couldn't believe that he was so audacious.
Han Du immediately begged, "Your Highness, please help me this time. Please ask Princess Anqing to see what her attitude is."
"Don't even think about it!"
Zhu Biao was so angry at Han Du that he stood up suddenly, his fingers pointing at Han Du were trembling.
"Gu is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the majestic heir apparent. How could he, how could he do such a thing? If word spreads about this, will Gu be the crown prince?"
Han Du is so courageous that he actually wants me to be a matchmaker. If the time is right and he acts as a normal matchmaker, Zhu Biao actually doesn't mind doing it. After all, this is considered the beauty of adulthood, and everyone is happy to see it.
become.
But what does Han Du want him to do? Want him to do something private?
Moreover, this matter is also related to the face of the royal family, and even more importantly, the face of the father.
"Your Highness, please ask the minister for help. If Princess Anqing doesn't mean it, it's better to let the minister give up." Han Du tried his best to persuade Zhu Biao, hoping that he would help.
Han Du has made up his mind. He made her life difficult in her last life, and he will never let her down again in this life. Of course, if Princess Anqing and she are two people after all, and if Princess Anqing is interested in him, then it will naturally be the case. On the contrary, if
The flow of water is ruthless, so I will cut off the love thread with my sword and let go of this relationship.
"no!"
Zhu Biao waved his hand and broke away from Han Du's hand, turned around and left.
For the prince of a country to do such a scandalous thing, only the audacious Han Du could do it. Others, let alone doing it, even if they don't dare to think about it, are all guilty.
When Han Du saw Zhu Biao turning around and leaving without any hesitation, his heart was filled with disappointment. Even Zhu Biao was avoiding him and refused to help. Was he really helpless?
Han Du's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he accidentally glanced at a memorial.
Is this the one I wrote?
Zhu Biao brought it. He left in a hurry just now and forgot to take it with him?
Han Du picked up the memorial and flipped through it unconsciously. Suddenly an idea appeared in his mind.
What are your strengths?
Although I won the exam at a young age, my IQ is naturally not low, but it is not so high that others look up to me. But I have one biggest advantage, that is, I know a lot of knowledge that others cannot possibly know.
Knowledge is wealth. Perhaps conventional means cannot make Lao Zhu change his mind, but he may be able to find a way through knowledge that transcends this era.
In the first chapter of The Wealth of Nations, Zhu Biao paid a visit regardless of his identity. What if he wrote down the entire Wealth of Nations?
Finally, I found a glimmer of light behind the Iron Curtain.
Han Du folded up the memorial in his hand and put it aside. With a smile on his face, he took out a brand new memorial from the bookshelf and opened it. He picked up the pen and wrote, "On the Nature of Assets, Their Accumulation and Use" and "On Different
"The Differences in the Development of Dynasty Capital" "On Royal and National Income"~
From day to night, Han Du continued to write without rest, burning the midnight oil and working until daybreak before he finished writing.
Han Du's eyes were red, but he was young, so staying up all night was nothing, and he could survive. After washing a few dishes, his spirit suddenly cheered up. He took the memorial and the copy that Zhu Biao had left, and headed towards
Go to the East Palace.
With the sign given by Zhu Biao, Han Du entered the East Palace unimpeded.
Zhu Biao originally thought that Han Du would not give up and chased him so quickly. When he saw that Han Du's eyes were red, but he was in good spirits and had a smile on his face, he felt relieved. He thought Han Du
After a night of suffering, I have figured it out.
Zhu Biao waved his hand to everyone around him to retreat, and then comforted him: "It's best if you can figure it out for yourself. A man should take governing the country and bringing peace to the people as his own responsibility. How can he be obsessed with the personal affairs of his children? By the way, you are here today.
What's the point of looking for an orphan?"
Han Du expressionlessly took out the memorial that Zhu Biao had left yesterday and returned it to him, "Your Highness left something at your home yesterday, so I sent it over."
Zhu Biao was even more happy when he saw that Han Du was here to deliver something, not to pester him. He thought that Han Du had really cleared up the matter. He smiled and said, "Look at my memory. I left in such a hurry yesterday and forgot about it."
Okay, you will be determined then."
Han Du took out a few more memorials from his sleeve robe and said in a calm tone: "I saw that His Highness liked this kind of knowledge, so I sorted out my thoughts and presented them to His Highness."
"Okay, okay, you're interested." Zhu Biao was even more happy when he saw Han Du being so diligent, and reached out to take it.
In his opinion, Han Du has really figured it out. Otherwise, it would be impossible to write these memorials. After all, no matter who faces Han Du's situation, it is easy to be confused and he can still concentrate.
Come and write a memorial?
Seeing that Zhu Biao was happy, Han Du also smiled and said lightly: "But your Highness should know that gold has a price, but knowledge is priceless. From today on, if there is anything you don't understand, you can still call your ministers to ask. However,
My condition has changed. I will clarify your doubts once, and Your Highness will do me a favor. One by one, it will be fair, just and open."
After saying that, Han Du smiled at Zhu Biao. Seeing Zhu Biao's dumbfounded expression, he turned around and walked away without waiting for him to speak.
Zhu Biao looked at Han Du's leaving figure, and then lowered his head to look at the memorial in his hand. The memorial that he had originally regarded as a masterpiece, suddenly felt unsatisfactory.
"Han Du will never look back until he hits the wall!" Zhu Biao slumped down on the chair and casually placed the memorial on the desk, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Han Du said it was easy, just do him a favor in exchange for a chance to solve his doubts.
Zhu Biao thought with his toes, knowing what kind of help Han Du would ask him to do. Zhu Biao saw Han Du's excellence, and Princess Anqing was also his favorite sister. If the two could really become the best of Qin and Jin
Okay, then Zhu Biao will naturally welcome you.
But Princess Anqing has been given a marriage. If she regrets it now, where will the royal family face it? If Zhu Biao was the emperor, he might be able to grit his teeth and shoulder this burden. But now he is just the prince, and there are still other things above him.
Where is the father?
Moreover, his father's character was very soft and soft. Once his father decided something, even Zhu Biao couldn't change it.
Zhu Biao's mentor Song Lian was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case, and his plea for mercy was not able to absolve Song Lian of his guilt. He was only sentenced to death and deserved to be exiled.
