yes sire

The next day is the day of the court.

At sunrise, the emperor sat on the throne of the Huangji Hall.

Officials of the fourth rank and above in the middle of the capital kowtowed and saluted according to the entry level of civil and military, and then stood in order.Officials with lower ranks can only wait outside, blending in with the red walls and blue tiles in the distance.

The hall was solemn and quiet.The position of the head of the hundred officials was vacant, and Han You stood at the ninth place in the list of civil officials.Although he kept his head down after saluting, he could still feel the gaze cast from the throne.He raised his eyes slightly, and met Xia Siyan's eyes.

The four eyes met for a moment, Xia Siyan suddenly smiled at him.Han You immediately felt that his ears were getting hot. He glanced at his colleagues around him and lowered his head again.

According to the usual practice, a court meeting like this is a ceremony for a hundred officials to meet with the emperor.Afterwards, the emperor would summon the officials alone in the warm cabinet, and that would be a serious discussion.

But before retiring today, the emperor announced a surprising thing.

The matter is very simple, just a word, His Majesty said that he was sympathetic to the hard work of the officials in Beijing, and from now on, the time for going to the Yamen will be postponed by half an hour.

All the officials looked at each other after hearing this.

The time to go to the Yamen in the morning is too early, and officials often complain in private, but this time was set by Emperor Taizu, and it has been more than 200 years and has never been changed.

Zhaoguo governs the country with propriety, and the etiquette is strict. Changing the ancestral system is considered disrespectful, so generally there is no particularly serious situation, and the reigning emperor will not change the rules left by the ancestors.

Xia Siyan had just been in charge of the government, and the first decree he issued was to change the time set by the emperor Taizu, which was too deviant.

Wu Wenci, who stood at the top of the list of civil servants, subconsciously wanted to come out to warn him. Hu Qimin pulled his sleeve and stopped him in a low voice: "Wu Ge is too slow."

Wu Wenci turned around, "What?"

Hu Qimin glanced at the throne, turned his head and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, this has some deep meaning."

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty ascended the throne at a young age, and has been coerced by Gao Qing for many years. It must be very unpleasant to hold back his breath until now. Now that he has just taken back his power, the first thing to do is to establish authority. The change of the ancestral system can be big or small, and the delay Ya time doesn't involve fundamental principles, your Majesty may just want to see who will jump out and challenge him, why do you need to touch Ni Lin at this time?"

Wu Wenci broke out in a cold sweat immediately after hearing this.

It was too early to go to the Yamen, and officials complained a lot. Although the emperor's move violated the taboo of disrespecting the ancestors, it was definitely a popular move.In addition, the little emperor was so scheming, maybe he came to test everyone.Standing up at this time to warn, although he has gained a reputation for being upright and outspoken, in fact, it is very likely that he will not please the emperor and the officials.

Looking at the recent situation, it is a certainty that Gao Qing will be deprived of his official position, and Wu Wenci is getting carried away with complacency.Looking back and looking around, all the senior officials present were standing attentively, and no one had the intention of speaking out.He was startled, only to realize that he almost became that early bird!

Casting a grateful glance at Hu Qimin, he stood back up again, bowing his head respectfully.

Xia Siyan saw everything below clearly from the throne. He saw that Wu Wenci wanted to go out and was persuaded by Hu Qimin to go back. Several other officials who were eager to try also died down.

He also saw Han You standing in the queue with a solemn expression, but his face and ears were blushing quietly.

My heart seemed to be scratched slightly, and I really wanted to make Han You's ears redder.

His eyes fixed on Han You for a while, he stood up and walked towards the side door, saying as he walked, "That's all for today."

The steward signboard of Huangji Hall hastily notified several ministers who wanted to stay and discuss matters to wait in the warm pavilion, and Han You was among them.

Following three loud whips from outside the hall, the officials quietly and quickly withdrew, and the court meeting came to an end.

Han You sat outside the warm pavilion, waiting for the emperor to discuss matters with the cabinet ministers.Although there is only a screen between them, the voices speaking inside cannot be heard clearly.

He had also waited for Xia Siyan here in the past.

When Gao Qing was regent, he usually went directly to the cabinet to discuss matters, and he could make decisions by himself.Occasionally, I need to meet with the military officer, so I will talk here with Xia Siyan, because the generals don't buy Gao Qing's face.

Looking back now, Han You thought that there were actually many clues that he ignored at that time.In his eyes, the little emperor relies on him for everything, likes to act coquettishly and lose his temper with him, can't hide things in his heart, and writes everything on his face.He never doubted why the generals were all loyal to Xia Siyan.He used to think that this was because of the orthodox imperial power represented by Xia Siyan, but now it seems that it may not be the case.

After sitting for a long time, several cabinet ministers came out one after another.

Wu Wenci walked last, his expression not looking very good.He wanted to have a few words with Han You, but the eunuch quickly came out and asked Han You to come in, so he had no choice but to leave resentfully.

The interior of the warm pavilion is furnished with a study room, a whole row of mahogany bookshelves stand against the wall, and in front of the bookshelves is a large red sandalwood desk.There are some books and files piled up on the desk, and a bronze ink dish with intricate patterns is placed beside it, and a long-point pen made of ivory is also placed on the ink dish.

The emperor stood in front of the desk and flipped through a very thick booklet. The light blue cover looked like an account book.

Han You walked in and knelt down in front of the desk to salute, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Xia Siyan hadn't changed his clothes yet, wearing the court clothes gave him a feeling of repelling others, but that feeling disappeared when he laughed.

He put the ledger together and put it on the table, and stretched out his hand to Hanyou: "Sir, come here quickly, I miss you so much."

Han You blushed instantly, and stood up cautiously, but did not go over.

Xia Siyan saw that he was standing still, so he came over and hugged him, no matter how stiff his whole body was, he buried his head on his shoulder and complained in a muffled voice: "I've been so busy and tired these days, being an emperor It's so troublesome."

If it was before, Han You would definitely comfort him with gentle words, but now he doesn't know how to answer, so he can only remain silent.Xia Siyan tightened his hand holding him a little, and said in a begging tone, "Will you give me a hug, sir?"

Han You raised his hand to hug him.

Hugs are stiff as well.

Xia Siyan raised his face to touch his forehead, and asked him, "Do you miss me?"

Han You lowered his eyes all the time, touching the tip of his nose with Xia Siyan, and said, "I just met with His Majesty yesterday."

Xia Siyan kissed him, "From now on, if you spend the night in the palace, you don't have to be so anxious to leave."

Han You seemed a little excited, his chest heaved a few times, his eyes were flushed, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty treats the ancestral system as a trifle."

"Are you unhappy? This was changed for you." Xia Siyan kissed him again, "I can do many things for you, please be happy."

Han You knew that Xia Siyan would not listen to anyone's advice on these matters, so he didn't want to quarrel with Xia Siyan again, so he held his breath and endured for a while, "I'm not happy, Your Majesty don't do this anymore."

Xia Siyan was in a rare good mood, patiently kissed his eyes, traced his tall nose bridge with his lips, then slid down the bridge of the nose and kissed his lips.When the tip of his tongue went in, Han You opened his mouth slightly, and responded very lightly and softly.

Xia Siyan kissed more and more fiercely, more urgently, as if he wanted to push Han You to the ground.Han You had no choice but to keep backing away until his butt touched the edge of the table.

Xia Siyan picked him up and made him sit on the desk.Put your hands on his sides, circle him, smiled and said: "Just now your teacher and I recommended you to be the secretary of the household department."

"En." Han You was so kissed that his whole body became limp, his face and ears were very red, he responded and put his head on Xia Siyan's shoulder.

"Want to do it?" Xia Siyan bit his earlobe and asked vaguely.

Han You felt sore in his heart, he and the emperor had already put the exchange on the table.If you do it, you can be the secretary of the household department, and if you do it, you can get what he wants.

But he couldn't open his mouth, but he was very unwilling.

Xia Siyan licked his ear, and asked him, "Do you want to do it?"

Han You gave way, dodging Xia Siyan's tongue, "There are people outside."

"Is there someone?" Xia Siyan paused for a moment, then laughed, his body trembling from laughing, and he lowered his head to his ear and said, "What are you thinking, sir? I'm asking if you want to be Minister of the Household Department, what do you think?" What are you doing?"

Han You blushed even more, and suddenly got a little angry, pushed him away and said calmly: "Your Majesty knows that there are only five people in the court who have the qualifications and qualifications to take over the position of Minister, and Tang Rude, Li Fanglai, and Zhang Qingyu are already very old. In addition to this, Guo Zhi, who has been transferred to the governor of Zhaonan for less than a year, if His Majesty does not want me to be the Secretary of the Household Department, just transfer Guo Zhi back, why use this to..."

Han You wanted to say that the emperor used this to humiliate him, but if he said this, they were afraid that they would have another dispute.He felt that he was a little too excited, put his hands on the edge of the table, and lowered his head to calm down.

Xia Siyan pinched his chin to make him look up at him, and looked at him for a while with a cold face.Han You raised it in his heart, worried that the emperor would lose his temper.But Xia Siyan seemed to be softening his heart again, let him go, and just said coldly: "I won't force you anymore, it's fine if you don't want to get close to me."

When he said this, there was an unconcealable disappointment in his tone.

The sadness between his brows made Han You feel guilty, Han You took his hand, "Your Majesty..."

Xia Siyan lowered his head slightly, frowned and looked at him with pitiful eyes.This is a trick that Xia Siyan has tried time and again for ten years. Playing pitiful will always work with Han You.

When the queen mother was still there, he also begged for things with the queen mother in this way.

Han You sighed, and held him with the other hand, "Your Majesty."

Xia Siyan withdrew his hand and said, "Go, you're not happy staying with me anyway."

"It's not that I'm unhappy," Han You knew that there was no reason to take back the bargaining chips that had been handed over. He could not be a direct minister, at least he should be open and frank.He took Xia Siyan's hand again, and said softly, "Go back to Changle Palace."
