In the hall, there was only Han You's voice, sometimes slow and sometimes passionate.
"When writing about spring rain, you can't just write about spring rain, write about the softness and sadness of cicadas, write about the emptying of turbid waves, write about the broad mind that shelters all the poor people in the world with joy, and write about the hope for the rebirth of all things..."
"When writing about summer, you can't just write about summer. Write about the troops at the border with their iron horses and silver spears, the laughter at the campfire, the heroism of the soldiers sweating like rain in the scorching sun, and the immortal military soul of the broken flag and broken blade..."
“When writing about autumn, you can’t just write about autumn, you must also write about sadness, the distances and floors that young people cannot reach, the desolation, the return to the battlefield after five hundred years of military service, the lovesickness of your wife, the worries of your children, and the fierce battles under the setting sun on the ancient road. Horse, write about the sweet-scented osmanthus in front of the court, write about the remaining willows at the border, write about the family, country and world in the hearts of the soldiers, write about leaning against the city wall covered in blood and looking at the moon after the war, missing my family..."
"Write about winter, the sky, the earth..."
After talking for a long time, Zhou Yan's eyes shone, and he nodded repeatedly, with a look of admiration on his face.
The emperor's expression changed. He looked at Han You, nodded slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed on his face.
Han You smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness is a noble man from Tianhuang. He is talented and intelligent. With a little help from his students, Your Highness will leave a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages."
Zhou Yan laughed and said, "My husband taught me well."
Han You shook his head repeatedly: "It's because the prince is talented and intelligent."
"My husband taught me well."
"It's because the prince is talented and intelligent."
Looking at the emperor behind the imperial court, he could not help but nod his head at first, but when he saw the two men complimenting each other, his eyes changed a little.
What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing, are you just trying to identify yourself as your godfather? Are you going to treat me as your biological father if you don’t exist?
"It's quite a bit of a talent."
The emperor finally spoke, and before Han You could breathe a sigh of relief, he added another sentence.
"The teacher in the royal palace must not only teach poetry and prose, but also be proficient in classics and meanings, political affairs, court theory, military preparations, and the Six Taoist Strategies and Three Strategies."
Han You said stupidly: "Students try their best."
There was silence again in the main hall.
The emperor looked at Han You closely, deciding whether this guy was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
Logically speaking, as soon as the emperor said these words, a normal person would have to kneel down immediately, fearing that he would scream "I can't do it" or something like that, so Han You would be better off just try his best.
Besides, as the emperor said, if anyone really has this ability, why should he be a teacher in the palace? How about just becoming the minister of the imperial court?
"I didn't realize it, but he's still a talented person."
After teasing, Emperor Tuqiong said: "Since you are an all-rounder, well, then I ask you, how do you teach Prince You?"
"student…"
Before Han You could finish speaking, the emperor asked with a smile: "Can you teach King You how to identify loyalists and traitors in the court, or how to increase taxes in the capital, or how to deal with the civil uprising in Qiuzhou?"
Zhao Xiang and Zhang Zhuo both wanted to curse in their hearts, this emperor was too disrespectful.
Han You thought for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief: "Student, do your best."
"Okay, I'll do my best. This is the first time I've heard of this in Haikou."
The emperor suddenly laughed loudly: "Then I want to see how you teach King You."
"right now?"
"That's right, right in front of me!"
After finishing speaking, the emperor swept all the more than ten memorials in front of the imperial case to the ground with a big hand, and sneered again and again: "I am here, and you still dare to speak so boldly. If you can't speak clearly and truthfully today, I will put you in a dilemma of life and death." .”
Han You was stunned, and finally realized that this bastard had been making sarcastic remarks.
After all, it was the first time to see the emperor. Han You was a little nervous, and he couldn't always observe the emperor's expression, so his reaction was a little slow.
It was too late to realize it now. The Emperor was really angry. If Zhou Yan hadn't been by his side, he wouldn't have bothered to talk so much nonsense. He would have just maimed him and thrown him into the prison.
"The memorials on the ground are all political affairs that I have not yet approved. Since you have great talents, you should use your true talents and knowledge so that I can see them."
Han You gritted his teeth. The matter had come to this, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
“Students do their best!”
The emperor wanted to take action, but your mother tried her best. Now he wants to flip the table when he hears these four words.
Han You lowered his head and carefully picked up a memorial, opened it nervously, and looked at it intently.
After watching it for a long time, the emperor yelled: "You f*cking read it the wrong way!"
Han You was shocked. It turns out that the emperor also scolds his mother. This guy's quality is really poor.
Han You, whose face was full of shame, quickly corrected the memorial, and the emperor scolded him again: "I said you turned left and right, not up and down, you..."
Seeing that the emperor wanted to get angry, Zhou Yan said directly: "Father, you are scaring Mr. Han. You always yell, and Mr. Han is naturally distracted."
"well!"
After saying two good words in a row, the emperor's face was filled with coldness.
He doesn't even know how to read memorials and just keeps saying "I'll do my best". What if he's not a deceitful person?
But he was not in a hurry. The longer he delayed, the more flaws he would find. In the end, he could just give him a fatal blow.
In fact, it wasn't because Han You was nervous, but because the ancients didn't have punctuation marks, and the other one was written from right to left. He was used to reading from left to right, so no wonder he didn't understand it for a long time.
Looking at each word, Han You frowned and murmured: "You are saying that the taxes in Shezhou have been reduced by 70% compared to last year, and the crops have failed, so the silk and satin will be sent to the capital at a discount?"
Raising his head, Han You asked cautiously: "Student, don't you know what this memorial is...what does it mean?"
"You don't know?" The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Of course you don't know, because you, a so-called scholar, really think that half of the Analects of Confucius can rule the world."
Zhou Yan, who had also read the memorial just now, quickly reminded in a low voice: "Shezhou has been hit by natural disasters one after another. Floods have washed away a lot of land. The tax grain that will be transported to the capital is very small. The silk produced in Shezhou is all of the best quality. The silk, Zhizhou Zhizhou means that there is not enough tax and grain, and if the court insists on collecting the full amount of tax, it can transport thousands of carriages of silk and satin to the capital."
"That's no problem, just give it away."
The emperor snorted: "But what the treasury wants is money and food, what's the use of that silk and satin!"
Han You: "Let the local government sell it and that's it. Why bother transporting it here? After selling it, bring the money over."
The emperor was so angry that he said: "Thousands of carriages of silk and satin all belong to countless merchants in Shezhou. It is possible that the government can't take advantage of them."
Han You looked confused: "It's nonsense for him to write if he's not from the government."
"Sure enough, he is uneducated and has no skills. He has not collected taxes and money. Where does the money and grain come from in each neighboring county and pays it to the government? As a last resort, he uses silk and satin to deduct it."
"That's no problem. If you run out of food, let the government sell it. The money will be handed over to the capital."
"You bastard, this is a year of great disaster. If I do this, wouldn't I become a tyrant? The people will be in trouble. I still want them to pay taxes in full. You think I am as shameless as you."
Han You couldn't help but ask: "How much was the tax paid in Shuzhou in previous years, converted into cash?"
"It's more than a thousand cars."
"What's the total output? Well, does the imperial court know how much silk can be produced in Shezhou every year?"
"I really don't know what to say. How can the imperial court not know that you are the chief officer sent to Shuzhou by the Ministry of Revenue, but they are just like you and have nothing to do with it?"
Han You couldn't figure out why this guy always targeted him.
Complaints being complained, Han You asked: "How much difference is there between the total output in previous years and this year?"
"Less than 10%."
"That's strange." Han You asked puzzledly: "In the past few years, there were no natural disasters, and the output was so high. Last year, there was a natural disaster, and the food was reduced by 70%. As a result, the silk and satin output was still so high. What's the matter, the hired workers for making silk and satin? The people don't eat, they don't have food to eat, but they still do the work, isn't this nonsense... isn't it nonsense?"
The emperor was stunned, and so was Zhou Yan.
The main hall fell into silence again.
After a long time, the emperor suddenly stood up and shouted towards the outside of the palace: "Wenwu, please bring the Shuzhou zhezi submitted by the Ministry of Revenue four days ago!"
