Chapter 17 The New Game

As the news of Zhang Ziliang's death spread back to the capital, Ganzhou's false report of food shortages became known to the world, and the court was shaken.

And just two days before this happened, Gao Qing quietly complained of illness, lived in the mansion to recuperate, and refused to see any guests.Many people linked these two incidents together, and all of a sudden there were turmoil in Beijing and China.

On this day, Han You left the Yamen and went to Wu Mansion with Zhou Kui and Zhan Yu to visit the teacher.

After Gao Qing reported his illness, Wu Wenci's illness also recovered. He personally ordered his servants to hold a feast for Han You and the three in the garden of the mansion, and Wu Shijie also sat beside him.

"Your Majesty's hand is really admirable." Wu Wenci didn't move his chopsticks after taking his seat, but his complexion looked good, and he began to talk more, "Forbearance for so many years has deceived all of us. Look, we A little emperor, I'm afraid he will be better than his grandfather and father."

Zhan Yu echoed: "Yes, I really didn't expect it. I thought that our Majesty was being suppressed by Gao Qing all the time, but in the end, Gao Qing was held to death by His Majesty."

Zhou Kui ordered the table and said with a smile: "Jing Lue came to discuss with me the other day, saying that he would take Zhang Ziliang back to the capital for interrogation. When our talents arrived in Ganzhou, Jing Lue got the news from His Majesty that Zhang Ziliang Already committing suicide."

Zhan Yu just knew the details, so he raised his eyebrows and said to Han You: "Your Majesty has even given you the details. It seems that you can enter the cabinet just around the corner."

Han You had already heard this from the second person, and it seemed that people around him were constantly reminding him that he was a person who could only rely on the emperor's pity to reach a high position.

His smile faded, he took a sip from his wine glass, and said, "Brother Shiduo's auspicious words."

Wu Wenci glanced at him sharply, "Why is Jing Lue not in high spirits? I've been haggard a lot recently, is the office busy?"

Han You regained a little smile, nodded and said, "When the big case in Ganzhou comes out, I'm a bit busy. We all look forward to your teacher coming back to preside over the overall situation."

Wu Wenci was very helpful when he heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "I can't survive a few years with this old bone, I still have to count on you!"

The dinner table became active, and everyone raised their glasses to compliment Wu Wenci for being strong and healthy, and looked forward to his return to court.Although they were somewhat disappointed that they failed to bring down Gao Qing this time, the case of Ganzhou just happened to make a big difference in the personnel affairs of the court.

The imperial court sent imperial envoys to Ganzhou to conduct a detailed investigation. In order to prevent the death of a tax official in Ganzhou three years ago from happening again, His Majesty specially sent a thousand imperial troops to go with him.

Everyone knows that Han You is the most favored person around His Majesty. Although they don't know what happened to them, why Han You suddenly resigned from the Wenhua Palace, but judging from the emperor's performance since he took power, he still attaches great importance to the left servant of the Ministry of Officials.During the dinner, everyone complimented Han You a lot, but Han You acted calmly, which made everyone praise him again.

There is a saying that it is better to be an official than to be able to choose teammates. Those who can achieve their position are all masters in the scientific field, and even elites in the official field.Anyone can do it as an official, and sometimes choosing teammates is all about luck.Three days ago, Gao Qing's people were still walking sideways in Beijing, but now, everyone is in danger.Many people who used to be biased towards Gao Qing have been showing their affection to Han You and Wu Wenci's teachers and students these days.

Han You is very cold in front of people he doesn't know well, especially in official circles. He has always cherished his feathers.And Wu Wenci lives in seclusion, making it even more difficult to approach. Only Wu Shijie is the best breakthrough for their master and apprentice.

After the banquet was over, the three of Han You left, and Wu Shijie also stood up to leave. Wu Wenci said sharply, "Stop!"

Wu Shijie paused, then sat back down again, "Father, what's wrong?"

Wu Wenci stared at him intently, "Where are you going?"

"I asked two friends out for a drink." Wu Shijie seemed a little impatient, and added, "They are all serious friends."

Wu Wenci sneered: "A serious friend? A serious friend takes you to drink flowers and wine? Whoring, going to a brothel?"

Wu Shijie's expression turned ugly, "Father, who are you listening to nonsense again?"

"Father tells you, don't get in touch with those messy people, take advantage of this time to make some political achievements, and Daddy will always find a good one for you in the positions vacated by those in the Gaodang."

Wu Shijie immediately beamed with joy when he heard this, "Really, father? Are there any positions for me to choose? Can I be promoted to a rank?"

"You still want to be promoted to a higher rank?" Wu Wenci said bitterly: "Officials whoring and sleeping are breaking the law, and being told that the official ginseng is enough for you to drink a pot! I told you to keep a low profile, you Why can't you learn from Han You?"

Wu Shijie hated his father comparing him to Han You the most, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Han You Han You! I haven't settled the matter with him last time, how dare you slap me in the face in public, making me a joke The most annoying thing is that Dad still helps him!"

"Am I helping him?" Wu Wenci slapped the table angrily, "I'm helping you! The matter of the brand money is already over with a blind eye, and you still have people beat people in the street. You Do you know that it’s trying to smear your father and me? Why don’t you use your dog’s brain! You still want to settle accounts with Han You, what ability do you have to settle accounts with Han You?!”

Wu Shijie was blushed by his father's scolding. He was the same age as Han You. In the year Han You passed the Jinshi examination, he got an official job by relying on his cuteness, which was not much different from Han You.But in the next few years, Han You's promotion speed will be beyond his reach.He has been compared with Han You by his father all these years, and he has long hated Han You to the bone.

"Yes," he nodded, "I can't compare to Han You anywhere, I don't deserve to be your son, you should let Han You be your son!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Wu Wenci was trembling with anger behind him, cursing, "Niety! Niezi!"

Wu Shijie walked to the entrance hall, stopped again, and turned back: "Father, don't get angry, I still have to take care of you later. Your precious student is so favored by His Majesty, maybe one day he will climb on your head gone."

"You!" Wu Wenci wanted to lift the table, but he didn't move it, and kicked the stool next to him to the ground in anger.

Wu Shijie took a look, confirmed that his father was not out of anger, turned around and left.

On Han You's side, because he wasn't used to drinking the wine brewed by the Wu Mansion, but he didn't want to save the teacher's face, he bit the bullet and drank a few glasses, feeling very uncomfortable at this moment.Han San received him in the sedan hall, and saw that his face was not quite right, usually white was white, but today he looked pale and blue.

"Sir, have you drunk too much?" Han San helped him to walk in, and said as he walked, "May I ask the kitchen to make you hangover soup?"

Han You shook his head, clutching his upper abdomen and said with difficulty: "Not much, I just drank two or three cups. I have a stomachache, please call a doctor for me."

Han San agreed, asked the maid to help Han You to bed to rest, and ran out to invite the doctor by himself.

Han You wanted to vomit while lying on the bed. The maid brought him a spittoon, but he couldn't vomit. He felt his stomach was twisted like a towel, and he couldn't straighten up in pain.

The maid supported him, patted his back to let him breathe, and brought warm water for him to rinse his mouth.After tossing around for a while, he felt better, and lay back down again dizzy, waved to the maid, "Okay, you go out first, call me when the doctor comes."

"Yes."

The maid blessed her body and went out.Before Han You closed his eyes, the maid knocked on the door again and said, "Sir, someone is coming from the palace."

Han You asked weakly, "What's the matter?"

The maid said: "It is said that someone has been sent to fetch Mr. into the palace."

Han You didn't speak, but the maid asked again, "Do you want to tell the people in the palace that Master is sick?"

Han You thought for a while, then sat up propped up, "No, I'll go."

The maid said worriedly: "But the doctor the housekeeper went to call hasn't come yet, sir..."

Han You put on his coat and came over, opened the door, and said to the maid, "Tell Han San that I may not be coming back tonight."
