Chapter 968 Han Du pays attention to the poor monk
Han Du and Tang Ding sat down next to each other on Zhu Di's left side.
When the food and drinks were served, Zhu Di filled a cup first and said to Han Du: "The king and you hit it off as old friends at first sight, and we feel very cordial. Come and have a drink with us."
‘Hehe~hehe’ Han Du sneered a few times in his heart.
If he hadn't seen the person who looked like a monk just now, Han Du might still feel that Zhu Di's words were somewhat sincere. But now
Han Du raised his glass as usual and bowed to Zhu Di as if he was flattered. "Your Majesty, your words are serious. However, I came late and almost missed the deadline. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." .??.
Zhu Di laughed a few times and drank with Han Du in one gulp.
As the banquet progressed, even if Zhu Di talked to Han Du again and again, Han Du could not focus on Zhu Di. Tang Ding, who was on the side, saw that something was wrong with Han Du's situation, and had taken over Zhu Di's words for Han Du again and again.
, which barely eliminated Zhu Di's dissatisfaction with Han Du.
And Han Du had no choice. He really wanted to know whether that person was a monk, and whether he was the person he thought he was. The person who seemed to be a monk also followed him into the handsome tent to participate in the banquet, but he was in a position
A few of them were at the back, completely on the edge of the crowd.
If Han Du wanted to focus on him, he needed to avoid the layers of obstruction. But even so, Han Du tried his best to look at this person attentively.
But after all, with Zhu Di's kindness in front of him, Han Du couldn't let Tang Ding completely block all his words for him. He had to echo Zhu Di from time to time, which made it impossible for Han Du to carefully explore this person.
Han Du didn't see the reason for the reception banquet. He didn't know if it was Han Du's misunderstanding, but he always felt that this person was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.
After the banquet was over, Han Du and Tang Ding said goodbye to Zhu Di.
But this man did not go out with the others. Instead, he slowly walked up to Zhu Di, ripped off his crown and belt, and revealed a bald head.
Sure enough, it was Yao Guangxiao.
Zhu Di's eyes were slightly closed, his face was red, and he was shaking his head in a state of drunkenness, muttering something incomprehensible.
Seeing that Zhu Di ignored him, Yao Guangxiao had no choice but to smile and lean forward slightly, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Di's shaking movements suddenly stopped, and suddenly a pair of tiger eyes opened, shooting out two rays of light, he looked at Yao Guangxiao without saying anything.
Yao Guangxiao immediately understood what Zhu Di meant. He wanted to ask what he thought of Han Du. Under the arrangement of King Yan, he met Han Du for the first time. Naturally, he wanted to know what he thought of Han Du. This was
In order to allow myself to get to know Han Du's background, and to provide input for King Yan's decision-making,
Test. Another thing is that this can be regarded as a test for King Yan to himself.
King Yan is a man who does great things, so he naturally hopes that those who follow him will achieve great things. If he does not have enough vision and means, the Prince of Yan's palace will not support idle people.
Yao Guangxiao has experienced this kind of test several times since he took refuge with Zhu Di, and he has solved it satisfactorily every time, and this time will be no exception. Moreover, Yao Guangxiao also believes that this will definitely not be the last time Zhu Di tests him.
.
Smiling slightly, Yao Guangxiao just said one sentence, which made Zhu Di's face change drastically.
"He noticed the poor monk."
"Are you sure?" Zhu Di could no longer look drunk. He slumped down on the chair as if he had no bones. He straightened his back suddenly and leaned forward slightly to look down at Yao Guangxiao.
"The poor monk feels this way." Yao Guangxiao looked calm no matter how excited Zhu Di was. He clasped his hands and replied: "And the poor monk also noticed that Han Du was constantly being fond of poor people throughout the banquet.
From what the monk looks like here, the poor monk is sitting in the corner. Logically speaking, he shouldn't notice."
Zhu Di was silent for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "That's true. I also felt that Han Du was a little absent-minded during the banquet."
After saying that, Zhu Di paused, raised his eyes and looked at Yao Guangxiao and asked, "How could this happen? This must be his first time seeing you, so why would he stare at you?"
Yao Guangxiao was stunned by Zhu Di's question. In fact, he was puzzled as to why Han Du stared at him frequently. In terms of official position, he pretended to be just a low-ranking official in the palace. There were people with higher official positions than him who were present just now.
All, but Han Du never looked at any of them once, but kept focusing on him again and again.
This made Yao Guangxiao feel puzzled. It was also his first time meeting Han Du. Could Han Du be able to see what was special about him?
"This is the brilliance of Han Du." Yao Guangxiao shook his head slightly and sighed.
After a while, seeing Zhu Di's puzzled face, he continued: "In the past, the prince said that Han Du was a very smart man, and the poor monk was still a little unconvinced. The poor monk thought that he was not weaker than others. But today, the prince said
It really opened the eyes of the poor monk. Han Du was able to identify the poor monk at a glance among the many people. If nothing else, the poor monk admired him just for his eyesight."
Yao Guangxiao only said that he admired him, but did not say that he was willing to be defeated. That means that he still does not
I think they are not as good as Han Du, but put each other on an equal footing.
Zhu Di remained silent and said nothing about Yao Guangxiao's words. Instead, he asked: "Then what are you going to do next?"
"Find an opportunity to meet him."
Han Du and Tang Ding were walking on the road leading to Huiying.
Tang Ding saw Han Du looking worried, so he couldn't help but shout: "Brother Han."
Han Du, who was rare, ignored him and continued walking with his eyes unfocused.
"Brother Han?"
Still no response.
"Brother Han!"
In the end, Tang Ding almost yelled in Han Du's ears, and even reached out to hold him.
"What's wrong?" Han Du looked belatedly and looked sideways at Tang Ding, with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong with you? I called you several times, but you didn't respond." Tang Ding asked in a loud voice.
"Really? You called me? I didn't respond?"
Seeing Tang Ding looking at him intently, Han Du suddenly recalled that he had really wondered whether the man was a monk just now, and did not notice Tang Ding talking to him.
Han Du put an apologetic smile on his face and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Tang. I was thinking about something just now, and I was too obsessed with it."
Tang Ding naturally did not mean to blame Han Du, but instead asked with concern: "Brother Han, since the banquet started today, I noticed that you seem to be absent-minded. What happened? What you were thinking about just now is also related to
Is this related?"
Han Du thought for a while, but he didn't know how to tell Tang Ding about this. Could he still say that King Yan would rebel in the future? And a monk next to him was the key, and it was this monk who encouraged him?
This is obviously impossible.
Zhu Biao died of falling into the water, and with him here he would definitely not let Zhu Biao make the same mistake again. Since Zhu Biao would be alive, it was still unclear whether Zhu Di had the courage to rebel in front of Zhu Biao, let alone by Zhu Di's side.
a monk?
If I now say that Zhu Di has a problem, if it reaches Lao Zhu's ears, he will definitely think that he has alienated the Tian family's family ties. If he doesn't say anything about it without eating the mutton, it will make him a mess.
If Zhu Di ran to Lao Zhu and complained bitterly to Lao Zhu again, he might even be punished by Lao Zhu.
Han Du sighed slightly, for his own sake
For the sake of thinking, he decided to keep these words in his stomach. As long as Zhu Di didn't make any obvious changes, he would never say anything at will.
But now Tang Ding is holding his hands in front of him, waiting for his explanation. If he is not given a satisfactory reason, he may not give up.
After thinking for a while, Han Du suddenly raised his head and asked, "I was thinking just now that there is an interesting person among the officials of King Yan."
Tang Ding raised his eyebrows, wondering who Han Du was talking about.
"During the banquet, he was sitting diagonally across from us on the left, in a corner near the door." Han Du pointed out Tang Ding's position carefully.
Since he was sitting in the corner near the door, he could only be an inconspicuous person. But Tang Ding didn't notice the person sitting on the edge at all at first. Now that Han Du mentioned it, he really couldn't remember it.
Such a person could only shake his head slightly to show that he had no impression.
"What? Brother Han, what do you think is different about this person?"
Han Du smiled and said to Tang Ding meaningfully: "I found that this person seems to be a monk."
Monk Tang Ding frowned immediately.
A monk who sneaks into the official ranks of Prince Yan is indeed a very unusual person.
But Tang Ding suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "I remember that when the Queen was seriously ill two years ago, the Emperor once issued an order to summon famous monks from all over the world to the princes' palaces to pray for the Queen. By the way, it was you who used your magic power to pray for the Queen.
The medicine saved the empress. Isn't it surprising that there are monks in Prince Yan's palace?"
Huh? Why did this happen? Why didn’t I know? Han Du felt a little confused.
Originally, Han Du was planning to see if he could find an opportunity to go to Lao Zhu and accuse the monk of his evil words to confuse King Yan. As for why he went to Lao Zhu to accuse the monk of his treachery, it was because if the monk was really Yao Guangxiao.
, then Zhu Di must trust him very much. Reporting the monk's condition to Zhu Di himself would not only have no effect at all, but would actually make them wary.
Since you want to kill this monk, it's best to kill him with one strike. If you can persuade Lao Zhu to issue an edict, then Zhu Di can't protect the monk even if he has 10,000 people unwilling to do so.
As for whether Han Du's behavior is a bit underhanded, haha, as long as he can kill this hermaphrodite monk, Han Du will never mind what method he uses. Anyway, this monk is also an old yin man, and he has been thinking about how to do it all his life.
It is not a loss to him to use intrigues and tricks to harm others and let them die under the plots and tricks.
But Han Du never expected that this would be the case. As a result, Han Du's plan that he had just prepared was aborted.
