"No." Han Du shook his head directly, smiled and said:
"I've only met him a few times, how can there be any holidays?"
The reason why Tang Ding asked Han Du was because he felt strange. Zhu Di became a vassal in the thirteenth year. At that time, Han De had not angered the emperor, the Han family had not been accused, and Han Du was still reading in his study.
Maybe he has some relationship with Zhu Di.
After Zhu Di became a vassal, he stayed in Peiping and only returned to Beijing a handful of times. It was even less likely that he would have any conflicts with Han Du.
Now, Tang Ding was even more surprised by Han Du's attitude towards Zhu Di.
"Then why are you hostile to King Yan?" Tang He looked at Han Du carefully and asked without allowing Han Du to deny it. He knew something about Han Du. Maybe in the eyes of others, Han Du was hostile to Han Du.
Zhu Di was respectful and there was nothing wrong with it. But Tang Ding could clearly feel that Han Du and Zhu Di's polite interactions contained a deep wariness towards Zhu Di.
Han Du was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Tang He would ask this question. Seeing Tang Ding looking at him confidently, Han Du thought for a moment and gave up the idea of muddling through.
He sighed slightly, did not respond to Tang Ding's question, and instead asked with a smile: "So, what do you think of His Royal Highness?"
Weren't we talking about King Yan just now? Why did we suddenly talk about His Highness the Crown Prince?
But since Han Du asked, Tang Ding thought seriously for a moment, nodded and said: "Of course His Highness is good. His Highness is kind and generous. Even if his ministers make mistakes, His Highness often pleads and speaks in front of the Emperor.
Both the prince and the princess are very caring and have the favor of the emperor and the empress."
Han Du nodded in agreement, although Han Du was extremely opposed to Han Jingyun's insistence on marrying Zhu Biao. But that was because he did not want the Han family to get too involved with the royal family, not because Zhu Biao was not a good character.
Even with the current title of the Han family, it is enough to shield the descendants. What's more, judging from the fact that Lao Zhu has not received any rewards after Han Du has made several meritorious services, I am afraid that Zhu Biao will make himself the Duke of the country as soon as he ascends the throne. This is already a standing point.
At the top of the Ming Dynasty, why was it necessary for Han Jingyun to marry Zhu Biao?
Han Du was also worried that the flowers would bloom under the fire. Han Jingyun's marriage to Zhu Biao would not bring any benefits except making the Han family the target of public criticism.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince and the future foundation of the Ming Dynasty. With his status, whether he is kind to his ministers or pleads for them, it is okay. No one can say anything." Han Du agreed with a smile.
One sentence.
Then, his face gradually turned cold, and he sneered and said: "But where is King Yan? Do you feel
, is his attitude towards us too enthusiastic?"
Tang Ding lowered his head and pondered. After a while, he raised his head and said doubtfully: "It is true that King Yan did not show off his dignity when facing us, but what's the problem with this? Maybe King Yan is like this in nature."
"Is this your nature?" Han Du chuckled, paused for a few breaths, looked up at Tang Ding, and said seriously: "What kind of nature is King Yan?"
After hearing what Han Du said, Tang Ding was puzzled and even thought that Han Du had a prejudice against King Yan.
Han Du did not wait for Tang Ding to speak, but gave an example and said: "Look at the King of Qin and the King of Jin. After they arrived in the fiefdom, they were wanton and ridiculous. This is the true display of their nature. What kind of nature are they like the King of Yan?
?”
Han Du's words shocked Tang Ding, and he couldn't help but said in shock: "You, are you okay? King Qin and King Jin have been punished by the emperor many times for harming the people, but in your eyes, it actually turned out to be a good thing? King Yan loves his people like his own son.
, Corporal Lixian, in your eyes, it seems that he has ulterior motives? What is the reason for this?"
Han Du glanced at Tang Ding lightly and said: "I never said that it is good to harm the people, and I also did not say that it is not good to love the people as sons. But don't you think that when a prince arrives in his fiefdom and loses control, he will do something
Isn’t it natural to do ridiculous things? This is not good or bad, this is human nature. Only people who have no further ideas will do whatever they want without taking the people’s hearts into consideration.”
"But when King Yan came to Peiping, he always restrained his own nature. If you say it nicely, he loves the people like a son. If you say it badly, he is trying to win people's hearts."
"He is trying to win people's hearts, and he is also a polite corporal. What do you think he wants to do?"
Tang Ding couldn't understand Han Du's words at first, but later, every word Han Du said was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart heavily.
A polite and virtuous corporal must ask for something!
In Han Du's view, being greedy for pleasure is what a prince with no ambitions should do. But if he doesn't enjoy pleasure, but acts like he is serving the country and the people, such a prince must not be willing to be inferior to others.
Although Lao Zhu made the king at the border pass, he wanted to help Zhu Biao defend the Ming Dynasty. However, although Lao Zhu was smart and experienced, he underestimated the hearts of his sons.
The reason why the kings of Qin and Jin acted absurdly as soon as they arrived in their fiefdoms may be because they were
From their point of view, this world belongs to Zhu Biao, so why and what obligation do they have to guard it for him?
No matter how well they manage their fiefdom, they are just making wedding clothes for Zhu Biao. In this case, why not take care of your own enjoyment first? After all, life lasts only a few decades, and only a few decades. If you don't enjoy it, wouldn't you be doing yourself a disservice?
Too bad?
But Zhu Di may have thought differently. Since he loves the people as his own children, maybe he already regards all of this as his future possessions? Since these will all be his in the future, then he is naturally reluctant to damage them at all.
Tang Ding was dripping with cold sweat after hearing this. He didn't want to get involved in these things at all. As early as when he was in the mansion, his father had warned him more than once that he must never get involved in such things.
.
This kind of thing is more terrifying than a scourge. Not to mention sticky, if you hear even the slightest hint of it, you will immediately run away.
Tang He was able to live until the end of his life under the nose of Lao Zhu, who was very murderous. Not to mention anything else, even Xu Da was far inferior to him in terms of his ability to know what was interesting. ??
His warning to Tang Ding certainly had its reasons.
"Brother Han, how about you just pretend that your younger brother has never been here today?" Tang Ding said to Han Du with a wry smile, full of regret. He shouldn't be curious about Han Du's attitude towards King Yan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation.
At the same time, Tang Ding also had a deeper understanding of his father's words. Tang He once warned him, 'Do more, talk less, especially don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask.'
Tang Ding originally thought that he had firmly remembered his father's words in his heart, but today Han Du taught him a lesson. "It's useless to just remember it in your heart, you have to be vigilant at all times."
Tang Ding never thought that Han Du would trick him, so he talked to him more casually. He never thought that just a curious question would turn into such a difficult situation.
Seeing that Tang Ding was frightened, Han Du shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Of course, these are all my own guesses. Maybe things are not what I thought?"
After Tang Ding heard this, he took a deep look at Han Du, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily to Han Du. He seemed to agree with Han Du's statement, and also seemed to understand Han Du's painstaking efforts in teaching him.
Anyway, Tang Ding didn't say a word in the end.
This matter was revealed in the silence between the two people.
Seeing that Tang Ding slowly calmed down, Han Du turned his attention to Xu Chengfei again.
That
In fact, from the moment Han Du and Tang Ding started talking, Han Du's eyes never left Xu Chengfei for a moment. What Han Du said to Tang Ding was also meant for him.
Han Du has not investigated the details of Xu Chengfei. But Han Du can know some details about Xu Chengfei without having to investigate.
First of all, Xu Chengfei must not be from King Yan. Han Du is still confident about this.
Xu Chengfei was originally sent to Shanziying by Li Wenzhong, and Shanziying was responsible for guarding the Baochao Lisu Division. Based on this, Xu Chengfei could not have the slightest connection with King Yan or any prince.
Baochao is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. If there is anything wrong with Xu Chengfei and his life experience is not absolutely innocent, Lao Zhu will not agree to let him guard the ceremony of Baochao.
Even if Li Wenzhong strongly recommended it, it would not work.
Since Xu Chengfei has no problem, Han Du will naturally bring him to his side.
How to win over Xu Chengfei, there is no better way than talking about King Yan's disloyal intentions.
Didn’t Xu Chengfei want to make meritorious deeds? Didn’t he want to be knighted?
Now the opportunity has come, and there is no greater achievement than being escorted by Long He.
Now King Yan may pose a threat to Zhu Biao. As long as he can seize this opportunity and play a role in this matter, he will be able to make great achievements easily, and he will be awarded a title easily.
As a result, Xu Chengfei was so excited that his blood boiled and his face flushed.
When Han Du saw Xu Chengfei's expression, he knew that he must have understood what he said. In this case, Han Du had nothing to say, so he waved his hands and let the two of them leave, "Okay, it's late at night, let's go our separate ways.
Go and rest. What I just said is just random talk on my part, so don’t take it to heart."
Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei left without saying a word. They were refreshed by the evening breeze. Without even saying goodbye to each other, they each returned to their tents.
Han Du asked the two of them not to take his words to heart, but is this possible?
Raindrops will leave traces when they hit the soil, let alone such important words? Han Du's words can be fleeting and scattered in the wind, but they leave everlasting ripples in the hearts of the two.
.
After the two left, Han Du just sat on the chair, not even noticing that the tea in his hand was cold.
After a long time, Han Du put down the tea cup, blew out the candle with a smile on his face, and fell asleep.
