Zhou Yan was a good and obedient boy. He only brought two guards, one was Zhang Zhuo, the head guard, and the other was Guo Hu, whom Han You had seen before.
Guo Hu is a good and conscientious guard. When he was looking at the gate yesterday, he righteously rejected Han You's "IOU" at the gate of the palace.
There were four people in the group, three big and one small. Han You and Zhou Yan were walking in front, and the two guards were half a step behind.
There are still three chapters of the agreement, no one’s identity can be exposed.
Zhou Yan was like a happy little pussy, bouncing around.
He always goes to Nanshi. Whether he is happy or not depends on who he keeps company with.
Zhou Yan is young, but that doesn't mean he is stupid.
As Han You thought before, the father is the child's first teacher.
Today's emperor is the same as those common emperors on the market, and he belongs to Yeluzi.
Before becoming emperor, he was a general, and Zhou Yan was the young master in the general's mansion.
Zhou Yan has fine clothes and fine food now, not since he was a child.
When he was a child, he traveled around with his father and saw too many sufferings among the people. His father always told him some truths about what is good and what is evil, what is good and what is bad.
Han You took him to Xianglai Pavilion, and at most it was just to play with him. If he hadn't said some truths, the truth about conscience was more important in Zhou Yan's heart than those "godsons" who were old enough to be his father. There's not much difference between them.
What Han You said was actually said by the Emperor to Zhou Yan, but in a different way.
Today, after Zhou Yan knew how Han You sought justice for the Li Zhang family, he sincerely regarded Han You as a close friend.
What makes Zhou Yan happiest is that Han You doesn't "induce" him, doesn't flatter him, doesn't flatter him, and says whatever he wants. This makes Zhou Yan very comfortable and at ease.
It also reminded him of the days when he followed his father in the military camp a few years ago, simple, happy and without any restraint.
You must know that Zhou Yan usually comes into contact with three types of people. The first type is guards.
Except for Zhang Zhuo, these guards hardly communicated with him, as if saying a word would shorten his life by one year.
The second category, the servants, that is, the eunuchs, were so frightened when they saw him that they had to lower their heads and dare not look at him when he spoke.
The third category, godsons, these godsons are all professional dog lickers, and they are also very greasy. They found it interesting at first, but over time, they made Zhou Yan feel bored.
These godsons were not what Zhou Yan wanted to accept at first.
When the emperor ascended the throne, Zhou Yan suddenly became a prince and took charge of Prince You's Mansion. Naturally, the ministers in the court would not come over to congratulate him with licking their faces. Instead, those who were not as good as the superiors but more than inferiors were sending greeting cards one after another.
After all, Zhou Yan is a child. When he was in the army with his father, the veterans of all battles and his father were all close brothers. It was impossible for them to flatter Zhou Yan, so it would be nice to just give him a kick.
He became a prince all of a sudden, and countless people came to visit him, kneeling and licking him. Gradually, Zhou Yan, who was not very experienced in the world, became intoxicated. Some shameless speculators became Zhou Yan's adopted sons. Using the name of Prince You's Mansion, they yelled and shouted.
Zhou Yan also gradually came to know that these godsons were not good birds, but he couldn't bear it because they were young and thin-skinned. Sometimes he wanted to "sever the relationship between father and son". These godsons cried and rolled around, making the little prince angry. I couldn't help but let it go.
Of course, another reason is that Zhou Yan wants to taint himself. He is the emperor's favorite youngest son, and he is always afraid that his elder brothers will misunderstand him.
Looking at Han You again, he hardly regarded him as a prince. He even discussed extremely serious topics. This gave Zhou Yan a sense of identity and recognition. This feeling was very good. In addition, Han You's words The method, etc., made Zhou Yan feel that the two of them were very comfortable together, as if they had returned to the days in the military camp a few years ago.
It is worth mentioning that Prince You's Mansion had already appointed a teacher, and it was Liu Wenfang who was recommended by Zhou Yan's other godson, and this godson was the second brother of Wu Yong's son-in-law.
At that time, Zhou Yan agreed without taking it seriously, and had long forgotten about Jiu Xiao Yun Wai.
A group of four people passed the archway of Tailongfang. Han You held Zhou Yan's little hand and chatted casually.
"Including Li Zhang, there are actually only two key points in the common people's case. First, the common people do not hold officials accountable, and the common people are in trouble. The Jingzhao Palace must make the decision, but if it is related to aristocratic families, It has something to do with officials. The common people are the main ones who suffer. The main ones are bullied by officials and aristocratic families. Ninety-nine out of a hundred people will break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs."
The young prince raised his head: "Why don't you report it to the official?"
"The officials in charge are from the Ministry of Personnel, from the Dali Temple. They wear coarse cloth clothes full of patches. Let alone entering the yamen office of Liubujiu Temple, even if you take a look at it, you will be kicked away by the yamen outside the door."
Zhou Yan nodded thoughtfully.
Han You continued: "This is also the second key point. There is no way to report to the official. Even if you report to the official, the official will protect you. Over time, the suffering owner is bullied and does not dare to report to the official. After reporting to the official, they all insist on their own opinions. Even if the people saw it, they would not dare to bear witness to the suffering master."
"But my father said that I, the Zhou Dynasty man, are the most bloody. Not to mention the military, we are the common people. Whenever there is injustice, we have to go up and take care of it. The prince's crime is the same as that of the common people."
Han You laughed dumbly: "This is the emperor's ideal, but the reality is..."
"Bold." Guo Peng, the guard behind him, suddenly scolded: "How dare you speak nonsense about today's emperor!"
Zhou Yan turned around and said, "Get out of my way."
"Oh." Guo Peng lowered his head and remained silent.
Han You didn't take it seriously and continued: "The Emperor is the king and father of all people in the world, and he is also your father. You are still young. As your father, the Emperor will of course describe an ideal world and ideal world for you, but this is not the case. Every father will protect his children from wind and rain, want to be an omnipotent person in the eyes of their children, and cannot bear to say some heartbreaking things to disappoint their children."
Zhang Zhuo behind him nodded slightly, agreeing with these words. If he had children at a young age, he would naturally not talk about the hardships of the world all day long.
Zhou Yan frowned: "You mean, my father lied to me?"
"You can't call it a lie, I can only call it a white lie."
"Bold!" Guo Peng shouted: "How dare you..."
Zhang Zhuo raised his foot and kicked Guo Peng on the butt: "You damn Ontario capital, His Highness didn't even say anything, why are you yelling like a bird?"
Guo Peng sneered, "Isn't this just a formality? If you don't speak, let others know that I, Lao Guo, also think the emperor is really fucking capable."
Han You looked back at Guo Peng, half smiling.
If you have a child and eat melon seeds, you can't stop talking, right? That's fine.
"Let me give you an example, Your Highness." Han You looked at Guo Peng and said, "Brother, the guard, I dare to ask you where you were in the army before."
"The land in the southeast, Huzhou Marine Corps."
"Oh, what if, I mean what if, if you were walking on the street and suddenly saw the son of the governor of Huzhou molesting a good woman on the street, what would you do?"
Guo Peng puffed up his chest and said: "I have spoken out to stop it. How could our army just sit idly by and watch this injustice happen?"
"No, how many grades did you have before?"
"Nothing."
"How many grades do you know about the state?"
"Fourth grade."
Han You's face was filled with confusion: "You, a useless soldier, dare to interfere with the affairs of Zhizhou's son?"
"That's right." Guo Peng's face was full of pride: "As the emperor said today, our army is the most bloody. When we see injustice, we must take care of it. It doesn't matter whether his father is the governor or the minister."
Han You looked suspicious: "You swear to God, do you really dare to take care of me?"
Guo Peng said loudly: "I, Mr. Guo, swore on the ancestors of the Guo family, and it is absolutely true. If I speak false words, I will be struck by five thunders from heaven, and I will die a good death."
"You are from the coastal area in the southeast, right?" Han You asked in a different way: "Then you swear to Mazu."
"Forehead…"
"You're such a bastard, let it go."
Guo Peng laughed dryly: "I am an ordinary soldier. I don't care about other people's business. It's too late to hide."
"You loser." Zhang Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Guo Peng in the butt.
Guo Peng, who was covering his butt, was unhappy: "Why do you kick me? Do you dare to care?"
"I'm so stupid."
"Then you still kick me."
"I don't give a damn, but I won't brag about it."
"Too."
Han You laughed and said to Zhou Yan: "You see, this is the way of the world now. When they go into battle, these warriors with tiger and bear skin can kill the enemy seven times in and seven out. It can be seen that the officials, You don't even dare to fart. Do you know why? Because in the battle formation, the enemy can kill them at most, but when they are out of the battle formation, in the city or in the capital, officials may not kill them, but they can destroy their homes. , and made all their relatives worse than death. The enemies on the battlefield didn't know who they were, but the officials knew, and the aristocratic families knew. Not only did they know, but they also knew their weaknesses. They took their children, their mothers-in-law, their Relatives vent their anger.”
Zhou Yan took two steps quickly, turned around and saluted Han You: "Students understand, what the teacher said is that if the people do not promote officials, no one will hold them accountable. This is exactly what the people mean. No one dares to care about how the people do, and no one will give them any responsibility." If justice is lifted, it will be a disaster that will affect the entire clan."
Han You was extremely pleased and patted Zhou Yan's little head: "That's it. So, this world is not right. If possible, His Highness should help change this stupid world."
"Yan, we must do our best."
Han You smiled, looked up at the bright sun, and realized that his luck was very good, really very good.
He has a father who loves him, a group of loyal servants in the Han family, and he meets an innocent little guy who wants to be a wise king. What makes him even more happy is that maybe he can really do it. Do your best to express your ambition.
Han You's words only made Zhou Yan lower his head and think.
Zhang Zhuo and Guo Peng didn't take it seriously.
Because they are used to it and take it for granted.
But the mistake in this world lies in these three words, and it is taken for granted.
The world is like this. Many inexplicable things happen. Gradually, people get used to it. Once they get used to it, the world becomes bad.
No one spoke, no one spoke up, they were all getting used to it, they were all used to it. When the ruling class waved its hand and made the world more confusing, there was no psychological pressure, because they knew that the people would get used to it sooner or later, and they themselves were already used to it. .
A group of four people stepped into Nanshi unknowingly, and happened to have a group of patrol soldiers walking towards them holding water and fire sticks.
There are twelve military soldiers, all in white uniform.
"Did you see it? I knew they were military soldiers, but I didn't know they thought they were a group of thieves."
Han You said angrily: "In Nan City, where dignitaries gather, these soldiers walk close to the walls and are very cautious. Does your Highness know what they looked like when they went to Bei City?"
Zhou Yan: "What does it look like?"
Han You looked back at Guo Peng: "Tell me the truth and swear to Mazu."
"A group of warriors are of no rank, why should I swear by Mazu?" Guo Peng looked at the warriors with disdain on his face: "I went to Bei City, and these idiots were even more arrogant than me."
"That's right." Han You looked at Zhou Yan: "Do you know why?"
Zhou Yan sighed like a young adult: "Because there are no officials in Bei City, only common people."
"The biggest disadvantage of many people is to use their little power to make things as difficult as possible for others. Only by bullying people who are weaker than themselves can they gain a morbid sense of satisfaction. Through this sense of satisfaction, they feel that they are a human being. Big shot delusion.”
After saying that, Han You bent down and picked up a small stone and smashed it hard.
A group of soldiers patrolling the street were startled. The leading soldier looked up and ran over quickly.
"It turns out to be Shao Yin, who else do you think he is?"
The soldier smiled with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed: "You are teasing a villain again."
"This is how I hit you. What would happen to you if someone in Bei City hit you?"
A sharp look flashed across the soldier's face: "He dares to see if I don't draw my sword to him..."
Halfway through, the soldier saw that Han You was smiling but not smiling, so he quickly changed his words and said: "Look at the villain, don't draw a knife and peel him a pear. The weather is hot and the fire is strong. Eat some pears to cool down the fire. It's not easy for the people. Don't get hurt." heat."
"I guess you're not even that filial to your mother."
Han You rolled his eyes and was too lazy to get to know this soldier: "Let me ask you, do you know who Liu Wenguan is from the sixth-grade director of the Ministry of Industry?"
"The villain knows."
"You military soldiers are all know-it-all in Beijing, so you must know where the shops under the name of Liu Wenguan's family are."
"this…"
The soldier's eyes dodge.
Not much outsiders know about the affairs of the Liu family and the Han family. How could they, the soldiers, servants, and government servants not know about it? The news has long been spread throughout the country.
As Han You said, these people really know everything. They not only know where these shops are, but also know the relationship between Liu Wenguan, Wu Yong, the young minister of Honglu Temple, and the adopted son of King You.
When Han You asked about it, the soldier naturally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
"I don't know, I don't know." The soldier shook his head: "I am just a soldier, how can I inquire about the affairs of adults."
"Don't pretend to be confused with me, tell me quickly."
"I don't dare to hide anything from you, Shao Yin. It's absolutely true. If I deceive you, my whole family will die badly."
"Oh, okay." Han You took a step back and pointed at Zhang Zhuo: "This is the commander of the guards of Prince You Palace, the imperial guard in the palace. Commander Zhang wants to know what I asked. Please repeat it and look at Commander Zhang. Can I destroy your whole family?"
Wu Zu: "Liuji Food Store, Jubao Pavilion, Xiangbaili Winery, Jinxiu Stall, and Liji Buzhuang in Nanshi City, Chenji Dental Store, Xianglai Pavilion, Keyunlai, Hongyun Gambling Stall, and Zuiyunju in Beishi City are hung on the Mr. Liu’s third concubine’s cousin, his second housekeeper Liu Shang, his third son Liu Shaonan, and his brother-in-law Chen Gaoyuan.”
Han You looked back at Guo Peng and suggested, "You two should become brothers with different surnames."
Guo Peng curled his lips: "He deserves it too."
"Go away." Han You waved his hand: "Don't tell others that you saw Commander Zhang and me. If you do, you know the consequences."
"I know, I know." The soldier nodded repeatedly: "Destroy my whole family."
"Wait a minute." Han You raised his eyebrows: "I suddenly remembered that you don't seem to have any relatives in Beijing, right?"
"In the fourth year of Baode's life, there was a flood. Of the sixteen members of the family, only the youngest was left alive."
Han You opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The soldier hesitated to speak and lowered his voice: "Shao Yin, I haven't seen you go to Jingzhao Mansion in the past two days, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's the story about the Great Sage protecting Elder Tang as he went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. When will you tell the story?"
"Elder Tang thought he was walking too slowly, so he asked the Great Sage to kill him with a stick. He reached the Western Heaven in an instant. Complete text."
"Ah?" The soldier felt as if he was struck by lightning: "This is over, this...this, this, this..."
"This and this."
The soldier's face was filled with misery: "I usually chat with my brothers about this story to relieve my boredom when I get off work. I still think about how great it would be if I were the omnipotent great sage who could smash every monster with one stick."
"It's just you." Han You was delighted: "If you were the Great Sage, Tathagata Buddha would not only press you under the Five Fingers Mountain, but also have your butt face outward."
Soldier: "..."
"Go away, remember not to say you've seen us."
The soldier ran back in a panic, feeling extremely regretful. Most of his salary for more than half a month was in vain, and his relationship was in ruins.
After the soldier ran back, he immediately told the other soldiers the news that the story was unfinished. All they saw was gloom and gloom, and a group of soldiers sighed.
Looking at the soldier who was the first to learn the bad news, he felt much better when he saw the extremely depressed looks of the others, and even felt a bit gloating about his misfortune.
Zhou Yan asked curiously: "Sir, can you still tell stories?"
Unknowingly, Zhou Yan had begun to call Han You "sir".
"I'll tell you when I have time. Let's get down to business first. It's not easy to find fault in Nan City. Would your Highness like to go to Bei City again?"
Guo Peng shouted: "How dare you, the people of Bei City gathered together and chaos arose. Your Highness is a noble man from Tianhuang. How could you..."
Halfway through, Zhou Yan's eyes lit up: "Are you still going to Xianglai Pavilion?"
Guo Peng's face straightened: "Why don't you take a closer look at the people's sentiments? You have to take a good look, take a deep look, well, take a deep look, and I must help His Highness to go deep... No, take a deep look."
Zhang Zhuo scolded: "Just check if you have any money with you."
"Three hundred and fifty coins."
Zhang Zhuo's eyes lit up: "I also have more than 200 Wen in my arms."
Guo Peng rubbed his hands and suggested: "That's enough. We two brothers can examine one of them first."
Han You sighed silently. He finally understood why Zhou Yan was so dead now. There was no good person around him.
Turning his head, Han You asked seriously: "No, isn't there a decent person in your palace? Are they all thinking about women?"
"Of course not." Guo Peng shook his head: "The butler never talks about women."
Han You was speechless, but he thought.
