Even if a censor really wants to make a fuss about impeaching Lan Yu for drinking, Lao Zhu will ignore it, let alone scold him for it. There must be a reason for this.
Lan Yuxiao smiled, and seeing that she couldn't hide it from Han Du, she explained: "We found a boat and summoned ten girls from the four major brothels to tour the Qinhuai River. The emperor pointed at us and scolded us for being arrogant and extravagant, and scolding us for being arrogant and fierce soldiers. Will."
On a boat, ten beauties are taken down the river. Isn't this a painted boat?
Han Du has been admiring it for a long time, but has never had the opportunity to see it. Chao Lanyu suddenly felt aggrieved and said, "Brother, you are so mean. Why didn't you call me for such a good thing?"
"When did this happen? Those censors were just digging up our old scores. Besides, you were still a civil servant at that time, and you also know that we military generals and civil servants can't deal with each other, so it's hard to invite you to go with us. Besides, you are still a civil servant. Well, luckily you didn’t go. If you had gone, the Emperor wouldn’t have dismissed you from office, but would have been scolded along with us.”
Han Du felt slightly disappointed that he was not able to see the painting boat. He sneered at Lan Yu's statement.
"What's wrong with being scolded by the emperor?"
As soon as Han Du said this, Lan Yu and others were so shocked that they didn't know what to say. They even spilled the wine in the wine glass. The eyes looking at Han Du were all strange, and they couldn't help but think that Han Du had some strange hobby.
Seeing the changes in their faces, Han Du knew what they were thinking, so he explained: "Really, brothers, don't look disapproving. It is a good thing to be scolded by the emperor. As the saying goes, love If the emperor can scold you, it means that the emperor wants to protect you. If the emperor really doesn’t care about you, then why waste time with everyone? Wouldn’t it be better to just behead your head and let the whole thing go?"
"You mean, the emperor scolded us for our own good?" Wang Bi asked in disbelief. The meaning behind Han Du's words always gave him a weird, mean feeling, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Of course! Since the brothers have been caught by the censor, if the emperor doesn't say anything, how can all the officials stop? And the emperor is not itchy or painful.
Scolding you a few words is like raising a board high and putting it down gently. Isn't this the emperor's for everyone's good? "Han Du looked at a few people with a smile.
None of the people present were stupid. It was impossible for a fool to lead troops in battle, let alone be granted a title. In the past, these trivial matters did not attract enough attention from them. Now that Han Du pointed them out, they naturally couldn't help but think deeply about it. Just thinking about it carefully, I actually gained something.
The emperor was furious at that time and scolded them bloody, but as for the actual punishment... Well, after scolding them, the emperor left in anger, without even a fine or salary.
The real punishment they received from the beginning to the end was to make them kneel down and get scolded. Looking back now, this punishment is really light enough.
Thinking of this, Lan Yu couldn't sit still for the first time, and said immediately: "We don't have as many twists and turns as civil servants, and we don't have as many tricks as they do. You are also a scholar, so you should talk to your brothers carefully if we encounter such a thing. What should I do so that I don’t suffer a loss?”
When Han Du saw everyone looking at him, he smiled and took a sip of wine before slowly saying: "When the emperor scolds you, you must make yourself look sad and repentant."
"Hey, I thought you had some good ideas." Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh, "If we all repent on the spot, then if we commit it again in the future, wouldn't it mean that we would be guilty of a knowing crime and get an additional penalty?"
"Brother Zhang's words were wrong. He repented on the spot, which gave the emperor a lot of face. As for what we do next, that is our business. As long as the civil servants are not caught, how can the emperor pay attention?" Han Du He spread his hands and said confidently: "Why are you fighting so bloody? Isn't it just to live a peaceful life of singing and dancing for a few days? As long as you don't go too far and listen to singing, dancing and drinking, the emperor will not care."
"That's right!" Lan Yu suddenly slammed the table and said bitterly: "The emperor was so kind to us in the past. Not to mention drinking wine and eating meat, he also gave it to beauties. Let's take a boat and drink wine along the river. It's not like that. We also gave enough money to those who bullied the market and forced them to buy and sell. But those censors are annoying and insist on making a fuss and going to the emperor.
I was impeached before, so the emperor had to scold me. "
"Brother, don't mind," Han Du smiled and said, "The censor's livelihood depends on impeaching people. If they don't impeach, why should the court pay them salaries? Is this to be blamed on my brother's lack of caution? Why? Do you want to be so ostentatious for everyone to see? Even if the censor wants to impeach you, it will be impossible."
"Then what would you do if it were you?" Lan Yu humbly asked for advice.
Han Du smiled and said: "If it were me, I would surround all the windows on the ship with curtains. As long as no one sees me on the ship, who can do anything to me? If the censor heard about it, then There must be a definite basis. No one saw me on the boat, so how dare they make it up?"
Just have fun, just enjoy it yourself, why do you have to make it known to everyone? Besides, the censor was still watching, and he was caught by the censor and impeached again, which made him disgraced.
"What a good idea." Lan Yu was immediately overjoyed and said bluntly: "Let's try it next time."
"Don't forget to take me with you." Han Du couldn't help but add, Han Du was very attracted to such high-end things as the painting boat.
This is like seeing a yacht carrying a beautiful woman out to sea. Although it is impossible for me to have a chance to go on it, it does not stop me from being greedy. Men are very interested in things they have never played with before.
"You? Forget it." Lan Yu shook her head and refused Han Du, "You and Princess Anqing are getting married soon. If you go, nothing will happen, and everything will happen because of you. You should stay in peace and contentment Bar."
When Han Du heard that Lan Yu was not playing with him, he immediately pointed at him angrily and said, "Dirty, I'm just going to watch the singing and dancing. Are there any of those nasty things you think about?"
Lan Yu immediately laughed and said: "Isn't it easy for you to watch singing and dancing? Jiaofangsi's singing and dancing are now the best in the capital. You are promoted by Jiaofangsi again. Although you have been dismissed now, if you want to go see it, no one else can We can't stop you. Just go to the Jiaofang Department slowly and take a look."
Han Jie deliberately expressed his anger, and the few people drank wine, and soon burst into laughter again.
