yes sire

Han You took three days of sick leave to rest at home, and said to the outside world that he had contracted a cold, which would spread to others, and he would not see anyone.

On the afternoon of the third day, while he was writing in his study, Han San came to him and asked him, "Sir, I booked a private room at Zui Dongfeng for tonight, do you want to return it?"

Han You put down his pen and admired the thin gold body he had written for a while. He felt that no matter how he wrote it, it was not as good as Xia Siyan's. Zhou Kui, I'm going to see you."

Zhou Kui is the minister of the Ministry of War and has a close relationship with Wu Wenci.Han You got to know him through his teacher, and the two had similar interests, and they formed a year-end friendship, and often met and drank in private.

A few days ago, Han You asked Zhou Kui to use the special channel of the Ministry of War to send people to Ganzhou quickly to capture Zhang Ziliang and others before they destroyed the evidence.Counting the days, the people sent should have arrived in Ganzhou, and there will be news from Ganzhou in two or three days, and they need to discuss the tactics for the future.

The red marks on his neck had faded a lot, and he couldn't see it unless he looked carefully, but Zhou Kui is not an ordinary person, so it's better to be more cautious.Before going out, Han You wore a dress with a high neckline, which could barely cover his neck. If Zhou Kui asked, he could find an excuse to fool him.

Going out in a low-key manner, Han San arranged for a female sedan chair to take Han You to Zui Dongfeng.He arrived early, and there were not many people in the restaurant. Unexpectedly, Zhou Kui arrived earlier and was already sitting in the private room waiting for him.

Seeing him coming, Zhou Kui hurriedly stood up and pulled him in, stretched out his head to look around, and then closed the door cautiously.

"Jing Lue," Zhou Kui asked with an anxious expression, "What's the matter with you and Your Majesty?"

Han You was taken aback, and a tension rose in his heart, reaching his throat.His first reaction was that what he and Xia Siyan did that day was seen by others.

It is not surprising that there are court eyeliners in the palace. It is common for things that happen in the palace to spread to the court.His heart was pounding, and he was thinking about the answer quickly in his mind, but he kept his face calm and said calmly, "Your Majesty and I? What's going on?"

Zhou Kui said in a low voice, "It's the news from the Secretary of General Administration that you resigned on your own initiative and will no longer be the emperor's attendant?"

It was this thing.

Han You breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Yes, it's the booklet I handed over."

Zhou Kui's face was serious, and his wrinkles seemed to deepen: "Why?"

Han You smiled and said, "Didn't the Secretary of General Administration see it all? The news has spread, but the reason for my resignation has not been announced?"

Zhou Kui stared at him for a while, his eyes seemed to see through his pretended calmness, Han You subconsciously nodded slightly, trying to hide the marks on his neck.But Zhou Kui didn't seem to notice his neck, and after a while he asked, "Is that really the reason?"

Han You sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, and then filled Zhou Kui's cup, knowing that the reason could evade others, but Zhou Kui and the teacher couldn't be evaded. Most likely, the teacher asked Zhou Kui to ask.

"Actually..." Han You sighed: "Actually, I have long wanted to quit my job as a waiter. Firstly, the stuff in my belly should have been exhausted after so many years, and I really can't teach His Majesty anything; secondly, , the palace, the court and the central government are all integrated, and they all share the worries of His Majesty, and I can do more things for Your Majesty in the court."

Zhou Kui was obviously not very satisfied with this answer, "It's just you and me here, so don't talk about such nonsense. Your Majesty has a bad temper, does things casually, and is difficult to serve. We all know these things, but you have been here for so many years. It's easy to get to today, why resign at this time? You have to enter the cabinet to talk about it!"

Han You couldn't explain his contradictory mood to him, he just said: "It's the same to do things for His Majesty in court."

"Hey," Zhou Kui sighed, "You still haven't considered this matter too much."

Having said that, it happened that the guy in the store knocked on the door and came in to deliver wine and food.Two jugs of wine and some delicate side dishes were put on the table. After the waiter went out, Han You said, "Anyway, the brochures have been handed over. The matter is already like this. Let's have a drink first."

Zhou Kui thought for a while, and said to him: "However, after I heard that the paper was delivered to the palace, there was no movement from His Majesty, and it was not sent to the cabinet."

Han You paused while pouring the wine, "Sooner or later there will be some movement. The cabinet has already made arrangements for this matter, but His Majesty has always disagreed."

Zhou Kui sighed and said, "Your Majesty relies on you so much. It was a great opportunity for you, but you gave it up so hastily. It's a pity, a pity!"

Han You shook his head with a smile, and changed the subject: "Is there any news from Ganzhou recently?"

"I'm afraid the people we sent have just arrived, and there is no report from the residence at this moment, so please wait patiently."

"I always feel that this matter will not go so smoothly," Han You poured him a drink, "There has been no movement on Gao Qing's side for the past few days, which is very strange."

"Well, being able to conceal the food shortage for so many years shows that Ganzhou has long been monolithic, with officials protecting each other. We can't see the truth at all in Beijing. If it wasn't for General Zhenxi who accidentally discovered the clues because of the military rations, I'm afraid we all have He was still kept in the dark. Before General Zhenxi’s residence report was sent to Beijing, Gao Qing took the initiative to ask for the removal of the governor of Ganzhou, saying that he did not get the news in advance, I don’t believe it.”

Han You picked up the cup and touched him, "If Zhang Ziliang can be successfully captured, I believe that Hu Qimin will switch camps to our side without hesitation, and leave the subsequent interrogation to him. Mr. Hu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is extremely skilled. You can ask us what you want."

While pushing cups and changing cups, we discussed some business matters and chatted about some gossip about officials in Beijing. When it was Haishi, the sedan chairs from Zhou Mansion and Han Mansion came to pick them up respectively, so the two said goodbye and left in their respective sedan chairs.

Han You drank too much, felt dizzy after returning home, took a bath and went to bed early.

Han San served Han You to sleep, and asked the kitchen to prepare sober soup for fear that Han You would wake up in the middle of the night and have a headache.As soon as the arrangements were made, the concierge came to report like his butt was on fire, saying that Eunuch Feng from the palace had come.

Han San was full of anger at the people in the palace these days, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing yelling at night? Come here as soon as you come, and say that our husband is sick and contagious, and no one will be seen! You can't enter the palace! You don't have to infect His Majesty."

"No," said the porter with a bitter face, "Eunuch Feng has already run in, and there is no way to stop him!"

Han San frowned: "Where did he go?"

"Go to Mr.'s bedroom!"

Han Santou was about to explode in anger, and hurriedly pushed the door open and ran to the courtyard.

The Han Mansion is not big, and the small and exquisite three-entry courtyard house is very simple among the mansions of the third rank and above in Beijing.Feng Ke entered the door and went straight to the main room, shouting as he ran, "Master Han! Lord Han! Lord Minister!"

Han You was sleeping dimly, when he heard someone calling him, he thought he was dreaming, and then the door was pushed open suddenly.

There are many rules in the Han Mansion, no one would just push the door in like this, so Han You didn't have the habit of locking the door from the inside.Feng Ke pushed the door with a loud bang, which completely woke Han You up.

Han You sat up from the bed and wanted to scold him with a cold face, but he could clearly see that it was Feng Ke.Feng Ke ran all the way in such a hurry that he lost one of his shoes, his head was covered with sweat, and he didn't see the slightest trace of his usual calmness.

Han You was a little frightened, but forgot to be angry, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Feng Ke rushed to Han You's bed and knelt down, kowtowed twice, and said mournfully, "Master Han, I beg you to go into the palace to persuade His Majesty! If this continues, His Majesty will kill you I've been tossed to death!"
