yes sire

The guard outside the door knocked on the door again to remind him.

"If it's too late, the cabinet and the Ministry of Households are waiting. It will be bad if I miss the hour." Saying this, the emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if waiting for Han You to kiss him was more important than government affairs .

Han You didn't hear what he was saying, only the sound of his heart beating against his eardrums.While thinking that the emperor wanted to kiss him, the guard outside heard him, and at the same time thinking about kissing him so that the emperor would leave quickly.

The red veil undulated slightly as he spoke, and the outline of the lips underneath could be vaguely seen.Han You propped his hands on the desk, leaned out, and dropped a light kiss on the undulating part of his veil.

It seemed that it didn't touch his lips, but just touched the veil, but the emperor was satisfied, and tapped the food box with his fingers, saying: "Sir, remember to drink the medicine."

Han You gave a hum, bowed his hands again, and said in a low voice, "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

When Xia Siyan turned and walked out, he looked back at him, as if he was very reluctant, and then the door closed between them.

Han You took a long breath and sat back on the armchair, only to realize that his palms were sweaty.

The clothes that were wet with tea were cool against the skin of his thighs, always reminding him of Xia Siyan's touch in that place.His mind was shaken, and he couldn't calm down the chaotic heartbeat for a long time.

There is also a plate of exquisite snacks in the food box, which are all his favorites in the palace.The decoction was served in a porcelain bowl without a lid, and it was carried so far that not a single drop was spilled, presumably it was the guard's credit.

Han You really lost his appetite after this morning's tossing, so he just took out the medicine and drank it, and threw the muffins into the food box and put them aside.

As a member of the cabinet, Wu Wenci went to the Emperor's Hall to attend the financial meeting before the imperial court. The officials in the ministry asked Han You for some urgent matters that needed to be dealt with.So Han Shilang's valet had people coming in and out all the time, and he couldn't be idle all morning.

Time flies, and when you are busy, you don't have time to think about things that make you think.When the last subordinate walked out of his room, Han You stood up, picked up the teapot and made himself a cup of cold tea.

I don't know when the clothes on my body are dry.

Just now the little eunuch Feng Ke sent came in to bring medicine, which caused a lot of discussion in the government office.

Han You didn't say a word about those rumors, let Wang Wensi and the others inquire about him, they just talked about him, neither denying nor admitting, no matter how bizarre the plot they made up, they just laughed it off.

Wang Wensi and the others were so curious that they scratched their heads. Seeing him so mysterious, the story about being jealous with the emperor and snatching the dancer girl became more interesting.

Just as the dancer left, some medicine was sent from the palace on her back foot. It was almost suspected that it was the poison given to him by the emperor.

Han You was very calm, put the medicine bottle into his sleeves in front of everyone, and gave some coins to the people from the palace as a thank you.

In the afternoon, the teacher came back from the palace, called Han You into the duty room, and told him a piece of news.

"Wei's bearded man is completely finished this time." Wu Wenci sat on the grand master's chair, his wrinkled face flushed slightly from excitement, "In the morning in the Huangji Hall, he knelt down in front of His Majesty and summoned everything. "

Han You couldn't help laughing when he thought of the pitiful way the emperor said before he left this morning that the old guy from the household department would bully him, and imagined Xia Siyan threatening Wei Xu in his mind.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Wenci asked him strangely.

"No," Han You said, "I just feel that Wei Xu has been so arrogant and domineering all these years, and now he deserves what he has done."

Wu Wenci hummed, "Do you know the position of Wei Xu, Minister of the Household Department, who asked him to sit on it?"

Wei Xu is Gao Qing's confidant, which is known to everyone in the court.It was Gao Qing's arrangement that Wei Xu's aptitude was able to sit in the household department, and everyone in the court thought so.

Han You asked, "Isn't it Gao Qing?"

"No," Wu Wenci shook his head. "The tax official died in Ganzhou two years ago. Du Heng, then Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, found out that there was a problem and asked for a thorough investigation. His Majesty suppressed it."

Han You knew about this.At that time, the governor of Ganzhou was already Zhang Ziliang. Gao Qing defended his disciples and rejected Du Heng's proposal to thoroughly investigate Ganzhou.In those years, Xia Siyan acted very close to Gao Qing, almost listening to Gao Qing in everything.Because of this incident, Xia Siyan had a big fight with Du Heng in the early morning.

I still remember that on the day after the quarrel, Xia Siyan lost his temper in Changle Palace, and Han You coaxed him for a long time.

Wu Wenci continued: "At that time, Gao Qing didn't necessarily know what Zhang Ziliang was up to in Ganzhou—with Gao Qing's caution, I think he probably didn't know."

This was something Han You hadn't thought about before, and he was shocked, "The teacher means that His Majesty intentionally..."

"You don't understand Du Heng." Wu Wenci explained his analysis carefully to him, "He had a big fight with the little emperor in front of so many people, and his claims still couldn't be supported. It was absolutely impossible to accept. So not long after, he resigned and returned to his hometown."

Han You frowned and thought: "After that, Wei Xu became Minister of the Household Department."

"Yes, Du Heng is not only a veteran of the three dynasties, but also the upright and loyal person praised by the late Emperor Jinkou. If he doesn't take the initiative to resign, it is impossible for Wei Xu to sit in the position of Minister of the Household Department."

Han You felt that his throat was a little tight, he took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "Ganzhou...it turns out that it is not His Majesty's hunting net, but a trap."

Wu Wenci laughed twice, "Jing Lue, we were all played by the little emperor."

Wei Xu is a greedy person who doesn't know how to restrain himself. In order to win over Gao Qing, he spent a lot of money. He even married his own daughter to Gao Qing.So not long after he took office, based on the clues left by the tax official, he secretly found out about Ganzhou through some unscrupulous means.

According to Wei Xu's character, it is of course impossible for him to report this case to the court. What he has to do is to find a way to get himself a share of it.

You must know that false reporting of disasters can not only obtain disaster relief subsidies from the court, but also reduce taxes for one year.Zhaoguo collects taxes in cash, so as long as you submit a set of fake accounts, you can get double the money.

But Wei Xu didn't have the guts to confront Zhang Ziliang himself.So he wrote to Zhang Ziliang, saying that Gao Shoufu had already learned about this matter, and asked Zhang Ziliang to explain to Gao Qing himself.

This "account" is ambiguous.

After careful consideration, Zhang Ziliang bought [-] mu of land in Gao Qing's hometown of Yunzhou. When he went to Beijing to report on his work, he personally handed over the six land deeds for the [-] mu of land to Gao Qing.

1 taels of silver may not be tempting to Gao Qing, and 5 taels of silver may not be tempted either, but 20 taels of silver for [-] mu of land is impossible for him to be tempted.

Gao Qing fell into the trap, and Wei Xu, as the secretary of the household department and Gao Qing's right arm, naturally had to do like a dog.

Due to Gao Qing’s cautious personality, Wei Xu was worried that an excessive amount would arouse his dislike, so he discussed with Zhang Ziliang and handled it privately, using it to expand their network of contacts in Ganzhou.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Qing's life can be saved.

Han You thought, while Xia Siyan pretended to be ignorant in front of him, he also used thunderous means to trap Gao Qing into a turtle in a jar.And my own role is at best a supporting role in this play, or a playmate.

Thinking back to the time he spent with Xia Siyan day and night, Han You could hardly believe that they were the same person.He once taught Xia Siyan everything he knew devoutly. The way of heaven represented by Xia Siyan is his belief, and he is willing to cultivate it with all his heart and soul.

But now, his faith has been broken.

"Your Majesty is really good at it," Han You smiled lightly, "I didn't notice it all these years."

"Our Majesty, it's more than we imagined..." Wu Wenci wanted to lament that Xia Siyan was so scheming at such a young age, but then remembered that the person in front of him had a very close relationship with His Majesty, and it was frightening that the two The word was swallowed back.

No matter what you say right now, Han You is gaining favor with His Majesty, and maintaining their teacher-student relationship is the most important thing.He leaned closer to Han You, changed the subject, and said in a low voice, "Wei Xukong has vacated the post of Minister of the Household Department, and I want to recommend you."

Han You was quiet for a while, then said flatly, "Thank you teacher."

Wu Wenci felt that since Han You resigned as a servant in the palace, his whole person was a little different. He always looked down on honor and disgrace, and he didn't know what happened with the emperor.He smiled and asked tentatively, "Why, not interested?"

"No," Han You said with a low eyebrow, "It's just that so many things have happened recently, the students can't help feeling, is high position and weight a blessing or a curse?"

Wu Wenci leaned back on the back of the chair, drew a long tone, and pointed out: "Whether it is a disaster or a blessing, it all depends on Your Majesty."

Han You was stunned, and then heard the teacher say: "Your Majesty trusts you, it's your blessing, you have to hold on tight."

Feeling a little sad in my heart, I was quiet for a while, and finally replied: "The teacher is right."

He felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, Xia Siyan was leaning on the back, and Xia Siyan was in the abyss in front of him.
