yes sire

Chapter 28 Assist

Han You didn't realize it until he was dizzy from being kissed. This was clearly Xia Siyan's sophistry.He pushed Xia Siyan away, panting, "Your Majesty is right, but Zhang Shuoyan, Yang Qinghe won't sleep with the emperor."

Xia Siyan stared at him for a while, "Is this what you care about the most?"

Han You leaned back on the desk, drooping his eyes and saying nothing.

Xia Siyan nodded and said, "I understand. If you don't want to, I won't force you again in the future."

The candles in the house danced and made a "bi peeling" sound.After a long silence, Han You still lowered his head and said softly, "It's getting late, Your Majesty should return to the palace earlier."

The long eyelashes slightly blocked his eyes, and he could only see his crimson lips after being kissed, and wanted to kiss him again.Stretching out his hand to lift his chin, he stretched it halfway and then lowered it, with his hands clenched into fists hanging by his side, Xia Siyan sighed, "Okay."

Han You stood up straight, and was about to salute and send the emperor off, Xia Siyan nodded from the air, "You can't call me Your Majesty when it's just us."

Han You looked up at him, he smiled, put the veil back on his face, and said, "Jing Lue, I'm leaving."

"Well," Han You replied a little at a loss, "Then you..."

Before he could find the right words, Xia Siyan had strode to the door of the study, opened the door and went out.

Han San saw the tall woman in red taking Feng Ke away, so he ran to the study to find Han You.Seeing that the door of the study room was open, Han You sat inside alone in a daze.

He asked: "Sir, who is that? They said that you and the dancer in the palace...is it true?"

Han You shook his head wearily.Han San looked puzzled, only to find that the millet porridge on the table was already cold, and it seemed that he hadn't even touched a bite.

For the next half month, Han You did not speak to Xia Siyan alone.

The decree to appoint him as Minister of the Household Department has been sent to the six yamen. For the past ten days, Han You has been busy with various official affairs almost every day, and rarely has time to stop to mourn the spring and autumn.

And the emperor will still meet from time to time.

On this day, when the imperial court was retired, the steward signboard of Huangji Hall notified Han You and several ministers to discuss matters in the warm pavilion.

Sitting behind the imperial case, Xia Siyan handed a stack of papers to Feng Ke, and ordered, "Show some of your lovers."

Feng Ke took it over and passed it on to them.

It was the mansion report sent back from Ganzhou, and the matter has almost been found out.Since the third year of Zhaoxuan, officials in Ganzhou have colluded with each other and lied about the disaster situation to defraud the imperial court of 120 taels of disaster relief funds.Wei Xu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, covered up and acquiesced, provided convenience for Zhang Ziliang and others, and even personally instructed them to make false accounts and embezzle 87 taels of tax in Ganzhou.

The incident involved nearly 1107 officials from the four northwestern states, and [-] million taels of stolen silver were recovered. The huge amount of corruption and the wide range of influence shocked the whole country.

Xia Siyan sat on the armchair with his arms propped up, and looked up at Han You: "Han Aiqing, what do you think?"

Han You came out and stood in front of the imperial case, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the officials involved in the Ganzhou case must be severely punished, and they must not be tolerated because the punishment is not enough. Those who actively report and expose can be treated leniently as appropriate. In addition, All officials involved in the case, whether their superiors participated or not, should be held accountable for ineffective supervision."

After answering, he raised his head and met Xia Siyan's eyes. Both of them were silent for a moment. Han You's heart throbbed, and he quickly lowered his eyes to look away.

Xia Siyan said that he would not persecute him anymore, so he never called him into the palace alone or came to look for him at home these days.There was no more deviant behavior in the court, not even a smile at him from a distance.

Han You heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was worried. As for what he was worried about, he couldn't explain clearly.All that seemed to have passed away like this, but...he glanced at the bronze ink plate on the rosewood desk, which he had accidentally knocked over last time, and now it was safely placed on the emperor's imperial case.

Xia Siyan was more polite to the elderly ministers, and asked Hu Qimin with a smile: "Mr. Hu Ge, you are in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. Do you have any ideas?"

Hu Qimin stepped forward to Han You's side, and said to the emperor, "I agree with Han Shangshu's statement. In addition, according to the laws and regulations of our dynasty, officials who committed serious crimes in this case should also be traced back to the recommender, and their knowledge should be investigated. Responsibility for unknown and unobserved employment.”

Wu Wenci and Zhou Kui looked at each other from behind, knowing that Hu Qimin's words were aimed at Gao Qing.

Both Wei Xu and Zhang Ziliang, who committed serious crimes in this case, belonged to Gao Qing, but the emperor just expelled Gao Qing from the cabinet, and his position as Minister of Rites has not been moved yet.He took the initiative to hand over the title deed given to him by Zhang Ziliang to the imperial court. In addition, he also handed in the 30 taels of silver and some gold, silver and jewelry that Zhang Ziliang and Wei Xulu had successively "offered" to him over the years.Many officials interceded on his behalf, saying that he confessed his mistakes and was sincere, and asked His Majesty to give him a lighter punishment.

Judging from the little emperor's previous attitude, it should be that Gao Qing, the former emperor's Tuogu minister, would save face.

But in the eyes of Hu Qimin and others, Gao Qing has been in power for many years and has cultivated many party members. It is difficult to say whether the Ganzhou case can uproot the Gao party. Can make a comeback.

As for the current situation between North Korea and China, apart from Han You who has not joined the cabinet, Zhou Kui and Zhan Yu are all from Wu Wenci's side. Hu Qimin is alone and helpless. If he meets Gao Dang in the future, he will undoubtedly be the first to be thrown out. gun.So he had to stand up and express his attitude at this time, draw a clear line with Gao Qing, and hope that Wu Wenci can accommodate him.

However, he didn't understand Xia Siyan. Xia Siyan didn't move Gao Qing because Gao Qing was the Minister of Tuogu, and there was another very important reason - the emperor didn't want to see Wu Wenci's family dominate the court. of.

The emperor wants to keep Gao Qing in the position of Minister of Rites, so that Gao Dang can linger on against Wu Wenci's people until another powerful force can be established to balance it.

As the youngest rising political star, Han You was originally a good choice, but Xia Siyan was reluctant.

With such a soft heart, Han You will definitely be bullied by that old fox Wu Wenci, so it's better to keep him by his side and love him.

Xia Siyan had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and then said slowly: "Mr. Hu Ge is right, let's do it this way. Gao Qing doesn't know people well, and the recommended person is corrupt and violates the law for personal gain. 5000 taels of silver."

Although 5000 taels was not a small amount, it was not a large amount to Gao Qing either. Whether this punishment was light or not, it made Hu Qimin speechless.

After the discussion, it was already westward, and Han You was not left alone.

The four ministers walked around the jasper screen and walked out of the warm pavilion. From here, the sky was dyed scarlet by the setting sun.

When he stepped out of the warm pavilion, Han You was stopped by a milky voice.

"Sir!" Xia Siyi ran along the brick road in front of the Emperor's Palace, a round little bean, ran very fast, and threw the servant behind him far away.

Han You hadn't seen him for a long time, he stood there waiting, and when he came close, he bowed and saluted, "Your Highness."

Xia Siyi supported his knees and gasped for a while, then asked him, "Mister, are you leaving?"

"Ah."

"Let's go later," Xia Siyi held his hand and said, "Brother Huang specially ordered the imperial dining room to cook your favorite dishes, won't you stay and have dinner with us?"

When the three ministers next to him heard this, they all bowed to Han You to say goodbye, but Han You couldn't explain that he hadn't made an appointment with the emperor beforehand.

At this time the emperor also came out, Xia Siyi asked: "Brother emperor, didn't you say that the master will stay in the palace for dinner?"

Xia Siyan smiled, "That depends on whether he is willing or not."

Xia Siyi asked Han You again: "Are you willing?"

Han You couldn't refuse in front of so many people, so he could only bow to Xia Siyan and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

--------------------

The Ganzhou case in the article refers to the "Gansu Relief Case" during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, but the real historical events are much, much more complicated. "You can't still tolerate it because the punishment is not as good as the public" is what Lord Qianlong said.

This article is mainly about love, and the author's brain is not enough, so the case is written very rough, don't scold me... T^T
