Chapter 47 Night Watch

When Gao Qing was the chief assistant, in order to cover the sky with his hands, he abolished the cabinet shift system established by Emperor Shuo.The cabinet ministers are usually on duty in the department, and they will be called into the cabinet when they have something to do.It wasn't until Xia Siyan came to power that the cabinet resumed Chen Jin Shen Exit, and all cabinet ministers had to take turns to stay on duty at night in case something important happened suddenly.

Han You happened to be on duty on the [-]th day of Dongyue, and today he was going to stay in the cabinet yard all day.

These days, business taxation is going smoothly, and he can take a little leisure time.As soon as the application time passed, other cabinet ministers left the palace one after another, so he left the small courtyard alone and walked towards the bell and drum department.

He asked someone to ask that only Xiaoman in Zhonggusi has the word Man in his name, and Xiaoman also lived in Yuzhou for a period of time, so it is very likely that he is the Tao Man Yunniang mentioned.

Han You will try his best to do well what he has promised to others seriously. In order to avoid making mistakes, he decided to go there in person.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard of the Bell and Drum Division, someone reported this matter to the emperor.

"Zhonggusi?" Xia Siyan was grading papers in Dongnuange, the brush in his hand was hanging in the air, and a drop of ink dripped onto Zuodu Yushi's memorial, and the light yellow paper immediately turned red, "he What is Zhong Gusi doing?"

The waiter replied: "I don't know, I don't know. I came out from the Second Highness and passed by the door of the Bell and Drum Division. I saw Han Shangshu and a woman entering the yard together."

"with who?"

"It's too far away, and the servant is not sure. Looking at that figure...it seems to be...Xiao Man."

Xia Siyan frowned and thought for a while, "I see, you go down." After he finished speaking, he drew a circle on the ticket, and only after he finished the circle did he remember that he hadn't read the booklet yet, so he took it to read it again.Then he found that the ticket was written in Han You's handwriting, so he put it together and threw it into the red pile on the right hand side.

Generally, Han Youpiao didn't need to read carefully the papers drafted by Han Youpiao, and often approved them without changing a single word.

Because he believed in Han You.

The emperor is suspicious, and he can only trust Han You without reservation.So when the servant finished reporting the matter, he didn't think much about it, but wondered if Han You would need to go to the Bell and Drum Division for something.

After stunned for a while, he took a folder from his left hand and opened it.This time it was Wu Wenci's handwriting.He looked intently, but a scene from the past popped up in his mind.

At that time, Gao Qing was still the chief assistant of the cabinet. In order to make Gao Qing relax his vigilance, he often summoned singers and dancers to Changle Palace.I still remember a time when Han You was fascinated by watching a dance—Xiao Man was the lead dancer that time.

Xiaoman is a woman Gao Qing has found all over the country, so it is not ordinary for someone who can be sent to the palace to corrupt the emperor.She is beautiful, intelligent, and resourceful. Xia Siyan has never failed to use her to win over high officials in the court.

Xiaoman knows how to capture a man's heart.

Then Xia Siyan thought of Xiaoman's dance on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, as if Han You had been watching it all the time.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, he summoned the servant again and said, "Go ask who Han You went to the Bell and Drum Division, and tell me when you're done."

"Yes."

The servant stepped back and wanted to go out, Xia Siyan said again: "Wait a minute, ask quietly, don't disturb Han Shangshu."

"Yes."

He didn't know why he was guilty, and he always felt that doubting Han You was a kind of blasphemy against their relationship.However, when they first started, Han You resisted too clearly. He even thought that if he hadn't forced him, Han You might not have accepted men at all.

It was he who lured Han You here step by step, and it was he who deliberately designed the steps to make Han You fall step by step.

He knows Han You's weakness very well, and he knows how to occupy his husband step by step.

But what if Han You was a normal man?What if it was his instinct to be attracted to women?

Xia Siyan didn't dare to think about it anymore, stood up, and threw the pen on the table in a state of distraction.

Not long after, the servant came back and reported that he saw Han Shangshu coming out from the Bell and Drum Department, and the person who sent him out was the dancer Xiaoman.The two stood at the door talking for a while, Xiaoman seemed to be still crying.

"The servant saw Han Shangshu..." The waiter looked at the emperor's face and stopped talking.

Xia Siyan's face sank like water, and he said coldly, "What did you see him?"

The servant was trembling. Originally, he just wanted to say something in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would remember himself. Then he realized that he might have caused trouble, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "The servant saw... saw... Han Shangshu Put something that Xiaoman gave him into his arms."

Xia Siyan was silent for a moment, then shouted outside: "Feng Ke!"

With anger in his voice, Feng Ke quickly crawled in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty."

Xia Siyan pointed his chin at the servant lying on the ground, and said to Feng Ke: "How do you discipline the people below? Drag this tongue-twister thing down and slap your mouth!"

The servant immediately lay down on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Everything this servant said is true! Your Majesty, spare me!"

Feng Ke signaled with his eyes to the two eunuchs standing beside him to drag the servant out together. After a while, there were crisp applause and the servant's cry from the courtyard outside Dongnuange.

Han You originally planned to come to the Bell and Drum Division to meet and leave after confirming Xiaoman's identity, but Xiaoman begged him to bring a letter to Yunniang.He couldn't see the girl crying, so he had to wait in the yard.

When he came out, the sun had turned to the west, and the sun slanted on the palace wall, casting a straight shadow. Han You followed the shadow and walked slowly back to the small courtyard of the cabinet.

Not long after, the sun set and the cabinet courtyard was shrouded in a warm light.Han You went back to the guard room to read the residence newspapers sent by Wuzhou and Shanzhou for a while, and then went to the hall for dinner, and when he went out, it was already the full moon.

It's still a bit new to be on duty in the cabinet for the first time.In the past, I spent the night in the palace with Xia Siyan, and never paid special attention to the night view of the palace.At this time, the surroundings are quiet, the sky is high and far away, and the palace with flying horns and double eaves reflects a towering black shadow under the night, silently telling the loneliness that has spanned a hundred years.

I don't know what Xia Siyan is doing at this time, this thought suddenly popped into Han You's mind when he looked into the distance.

In addition to him, there are two handymen on duty and a clerk named Tang Xian in the cabinet yard.Han You and Tang Xian sat and chatted in the courtyard for a while, and then became a little sleepy.

Tang Xian looked at his words and said to Han You: "It's getting late, my lord should go to rest first, and I'll call your lord if there is something urgent tonight."

Han You nodded and stood up, "It's time for Lao Tang Wenshu."

After walking back to the duty room to wash, he took off his coat and hung it on the mahogany hanger. He felt that it was too early to fall asleep, so he sat down in front of the desk, picked up the ivory stick of lower script, and wrote it on the special paper for the cabinet. On it is written the memorial to start the official camp.

This was the final draft plan that was finalized at the court meeting after it was presented to the emperor. When Xiao Man was waiting for Xiao Man in the courtyard of the Bell and Drum Division in the afternoon, he had already typed up the draft, and it was written in one go and very smoothly.

The candlelight in the room was flickering and the fragrance of ink was overflowing. As soon as Han You was immersed in political affairs, he forgot the time, and he didn't even notice the people around him.

Xia Siyan hugged him from behind in a cold air, he tilted his pen and drew a diagonal line on the paper.

"Your Majesty!" He was taken aback. "When did Your Majesty come? Why didn't you hear the transmission?"

"I came here secretly." The back of the yellow pear wood chair made Xia Siyan's chest hurt a little, but he didn't let go. He buried his head on Han You's shoulder and said, "I miss you."

Han You put the pen on the pen holder, turned his face and rubbed it on his head, "What's wrong? Your Majesty is unhappy?"

"Ah."

Han You turned around and held his face up. Seeing that he was really frowning unhappily, like a wronged child, he coaxed, "What makes my Majesty so unhappy?"

Xia Siyan was originally full of anger, and on the way here, he thought a lot about what he wanted to ask Han You. He wanted to ask Han You what he was doing at the Bell and Drum Division today, and whether Han You liked Xiao Man.

He thought that he could not help but lose his temper with Han You, just like many times before, it would hurt Han You, hurt Han You, and make Han You show a painful expression for him.But at this time, when he heard Han You say "My Majesty" in a loving voice, half of his anger disappeared immediately.Then Han You held his face and kissed him, and the other half's anger disappeared.

He held Han You's hand in his palm, "Why are your hands so cold, sir? Isn't it cold if you wear so little?"

There are no earth dragons in the small cabinet building, and they rely on the stove for heating in winter. Although it is not cold enough to use a stove in this season, it is still cold at night.Han You took off his coat just now and has been sitting in front of the desk writing. At this time, he felt a little cold when Xia Siyan covered him.

He stood up and said, "I forgot to add clothes, what time is it?"

"It was a quarter before Haishi when I came here," the emperor put his sticky arms around his waist, followed him to the hanger like a tail, and touched him, "It's really cold here, tonight Let’s go back to Changle Palace and sleep.”

"Then how can it be? If there is something to report to the cabinet and no one can be found, will His Majesty punish the minister for the crime of dereliction of duty?"

"Zhi," Xia Siyan whispered into his ear, "Cabinet minister Han You neglected his duties. During the night, he had a tryst with his lover and disturbed state affairs. He was punished with life imprisonment, and he was never allowed to leave the emperor's side."

Han You felt that Xia Siyan's words and deeds were sometimes really naive, but he felt soft-hearted, and he was reluctant to persuade him with a stern face like before, so he smiled and said nothing.When I took off my coat from the mahogany rack, a pale pink letter fell out of the coat.
