The old eunuch, Eunuch Wen, brought the booklet. The emperor read it carefully and found something fishy. There was a faint look of anger between his brows.
It's not that the emperor is deposed, but that things are not as simple as Han You said or thought.
After closing the memorial, the emperor looked uncertain and suddenly asked: "The harvest has failed by 70%. This must be true. Then tell me why the harvest has failed, but this silk brocade is still sold in Are the number of the twelve surrounding state capitals about the same as in previous years?”
"I do not know."
Han You looked at the emperor and wanted to curse him, "You are asking your father, how could I know?"
The emperor was not angry this time, at least not towards Han You, and said again: "I don't understand this silk brocade matter, but I do know that it requires a large number of people to be hired. Since the grain harvest is poor, is it possible that the people have no food?" , still need work?”
Han You opened his mouth but stopped talking.
The emperor snorted coldly: "Say!"
"The student said it."
"Cut the nonsense."
"The imperial court has granaries and official rations in various provinces. The students don't know the quantity. However, students know that if it is a disaster-prone place, a lot of official rations must be prepared for emergency response and distributed to the victims after a disaster. If the students dare to ask, it is... that's it. So what, how many victims did Shuzhou rescue?"
"At the beginning of last summer, when the weather was dry and everything was dry, the two official grain granaries in Shezhou were burned down."
"Oh." Han You chuckled and said, "Burn it, what a coincidence."
The emperor's expression changed slightly: "Aren't you surprised?"
"I..." Han You said with an exaggerated expression: "That was quite a surprise for the students, so unexpected."
"You..." The Emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why do I feel so uncomfortable with your tone?"
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I am just expressing concern. The student dared to ask again. If the official rations were burned, many victims must be in dire straits. Is it possible that they might not be able to eat by changing their children thousands of miles away?"
The emperor closed his eyes for three seconds, and then pursed his lips to Eunuch Wen next to him.
Wen Gonggong explained: "The magistrate of Juzhou is extremely talented. There are more than ten thousand victims, all of whom are refugees. The magistrate of Juzhou handled the situation properly, and less than one-tenth of the people died of starvation."
“Where does the food come from in Shezhou?”
"I will launch relief for the big households in the city."
"Oh, that's it." Han You glanced at the emperor's face: "Then your Majesty, tell me, is this possible? I mean assuming that the people did not starve to death, but, all the people became slaves and sold They serve as tenants and slaves for the wealthy gentry. Then the wealthy gentry may, may, seem, should have a lot of private food to feed the refugees, and then let the refugees work for them to make silk. Your Majesty, what do you think of this student's guess? …is it possible?"
Eunuch Wen took a deep look at Han You, his expression was extremely confusing.
The emperor squinted his eyes, stared at Han You closely, and asked inexplicably: "When Han Bairen was in the army, you stayed in the lower county of Beijing. It seems that you have never left the capital in the past twenty years."
"In response to Your Majesty, yes."
Han You lowered his head, an inexplicable look flashed across his face.
The emperor really paid attention to his father, at least he had investigated him, otherwise he would have transferred him to the capital as the prefect.
The emperor seemed to be thinking about other things, and he didn't know what he meant. Zhou Yan couldn't help but ask: "Father, you have finished your exams, where will I and Mr. Han..."
The emperor didn't even look at Zhou Yan. He just looked at the memorial about Shuzhou on the imperial case and said calmly: "Go away, teach as you teach. If I know something scandalous, both of you will suffer." board."
Han You was relieved. He didn't expect that the emperor was quite reasonable, so he got through it.
Zhou Yanxi smiled broadly, turned around and left with Han You. Zhao Xiang and Zhang Zhuo were also relieved.
The emperor raised his head, his eyes incomprehensible.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly grabbed Han You's hand, and the emperor happened to see it.
Just at this glance, the emperor's expression was as if his wife had run away with Lao Wang's father next door, and he suddenly shouted.
"Wait!"
Everyone turned around, and the emperor said in a sinister tone: "I almost let you two fool me. If I remember correctly, Han You claims to be an all-rounder and a great talent."
Han You was stunned, when had I ever said this?
"Civil and military."
"The old slave is here."
"Show Han You the memorial about the rebellion of the Southern tribes."
Wen Wu was stunned for a moment and understood that the emperor was going to fuck Han You today.
Outside Nanguan are deep mountains and old forests, and there are countless savage-like tribes.
However, the largest number of people were only a few. They rebelled every three days. One day they were reconciled with the court, but they rebelled again tomorrow. They rebelled countless times throughout the year, and it was endless.
The court was tired of discussing this matter. Every time it didn't send all kinds of food, wine, carriages and horses to appease him, it was like cutting flesh with a dull knife, and a lot of money from the treasury was thrown at Nanguan.
The memorial was quickly fetched and handed to the expressionless Han You.
Before Han You had finished reading, the emperor said seriously: "Although I have a charter and know how to arrange this matter in the South, I have not given any approval. Han You, please tell me how to deal with it."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I haven't finished reading yet."
"If you have anything to see, answer quickly. After you finish answering, let the civil and military forces beat you ten times... After you finish answering, let the civil and military forces escort you out of the palace."
After a pause, the emperor showed his fangs again: "But if you don't even have any regulations regarding the affairs of the southern tribes, you must be a person who deceives the world and steals your reputation."
Han You just read the beginning and didn't quite understand what it meant. He asked tentatively: "Nanguan said that the Yunbu sent an envoy to ask for food, wine and other supplies?"
"That's right, okay, go out and get beaten."
"It's not about waiting for a while." Han You said quickly: "The student hasn't finished speaking yet."
"What nonsense can you say? I...I thought of a solution in just one glance. You are nothing but a idiot."
Without saying anything, Han You opened the memorial again.
The emperor shouted: "You still look!"
Han You: "Just one look, one look, just one look."
"Don't look!"
Han You didn't pay attention to him at all, looking at him and swishing.
The emperor was so angry: "Well, Han You, how dare you resist the decree..."
Han You raised his head and spoke very quickly: "The Yunbu said that the four tribes on the south side have rebelled again. In order to suppress the four tribes, they need to ask for various supplies, including food and drinks."
"The memorial clearly states what I want you to do again."
"Why do you need drinks and clothes to quell the chaos, instead of armor and weapons?"
"It's a joke. It's just a show to calm down the chaos."
The emperor became angry when he mentioned this, even when he looked at Han You: "The chaos is fake, but the request for money and food from the court is real."
"Why don't you give it?"
"Don't give it?" The emperor snorted: "If you don't give it, the four tribes of barbarians will attack the city gate and make the townspeople in the city gate miserable."
"Isn't Yunbu on guard?"
"You are indeed a loser. The Yun tribe and the four tribes are both barbarians, and they are guarding the main road of Guanlin. If the Yun tribe hadn't released them, how could the four tribes have easily knocked down the pass."
Han You looked a little weird: "Yunbu said they can't hold on, right?"
"You are not just a loser, you are also a loser who talks nonsense. Get out and receive your punishment with a stick. Don't be an eyesore in front of me."
"No, the student is so bold. I don't know what your majesty means."
The emperor sneered again and again: "What do you mean? Hehe, I am going to beat you today... I just want to take a good test on you."
Zhou Yan next to him nodded: "Sir, you must be able to do it. People under high... yes, high pressure will definitely perform unexpectedly."
Han You: "..."
Emperor: "Why are you muttering? You shameless loser, get out of here."
"Why don't you just wait for a while?" Han You scratched his forehead: "These barbarians are all in the same group and are joining forces to make a show. Yunbu said they couldn't hold on, so asking for things is actually blackmailing us. So why? If you don't just take advantage of the situation, since you can't defend it, then we will send troops to help you defend it. After our Zhou troops pass by, won't we directly occupy the main road? We can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and that's it."
The main hall fell into silence for the Nth time.
The emperor's expression changed again and again, and then he suddenly slapped Yu An: "We coincidentally coincide with each other, we coincidentally agree with each other, and I think of one another!"
Han You laughed dryly, this guy is not very good.
"etc!"
The Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Yunbu is not a fool, how could he agree to the stationing of troops in Nanguan?"
"Didn't they say they couldn't hold on, and even submitted a memorial? Then wouldn't the imperial court's sending troops to help solve their urgent need?"
"I am pretending to be stupid. Yunbu is just asking for benefits and will definitely not agree to this matter."
"I don't agree with them writing chicken feather memorials to play with the court. Since they are playing with the court, then send troops to kill him."
The Emperor began to argue: "Back then, the Yun tribe was the first tribe to submit to the imperial court. If we send troops to Nanguan, wouldn't it mean that our troops are out of nowhere?"
"Then let's take advantage of the road and cross the Yun tribe to attack the four rebel tribes."
"A joke." The emperor sneered again and again: "The four tribes are hidden in the mountains, and the forest is the most dangerous. If the Nanguan army enters the mountain, it will be a narrow escape."
"No, your brain is not in trouble...No, what the student means is that we are just using this name, and we don't really go into the mountains and forests. We say we are borrowing the road, and when we get to Yunbu's territory, we just hang around and drag it. Then set up camp. In this case, doesn't it mean that we still occupy the main road? You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat."
The emperor was stunned for a moment: "Didn't that make Yunbu a fool?"
"How can you be so good at negotiating? I mean..." Han You was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "What the student means is, Your Majesty, what you say is what it is."
The silence for the N+1 time appeared, and it was still the emperor who broke the silence and laughed.
"We are in harmony with each other, and we are in harmony with each other without seeking his mother's sake!"
The emperor was suddenly enlightened.
This is the reason why he has been so depressed recently. He stayed in Beijing for two years before and after he ascended the throne. Especially after he ascended the throne, in order to adapt to the status of emperor, he has not thought about things with his previous thinking for a long time, which was "shameless"!
If it was before he ascended the throne, he would have figured it out by himself without Han You having to ask, and the methods he would come up with would be even more shameless and insidious than Han You.
Seeing the emperor's smile, Zhou Yan held Han You's hand again and smiled happily: "I knew that sir is the most powerful, better than anyone else."
The emperor's laughter stopped suddenly, and his expression darkened again.
Han You finally understood what was going on, and threw the young prince away as if his hands were stained with feces and received an electric shock.
As expected, the emperor spoke quietly again: "Since you are a great talent, Han You, let's talk about the flood in Youzhou... No, the Anyong Civil War... no, no, no, then the disaster relief in the East China Sea... No, no, we have it!"
The emperor's eyes lit up, he didn't have any shame at all, and he laughed: "Since you know tax matters, and the tax money cannot be paid every year, and the tax season is here, then you can collect the tax money from Beijing for me for the imperial treasury. Bar."
Han You's eyes widened, and Zhou Yan couldn't stand it any longer: "What does the tax affairs in Beijing have to do with my son, Prince You's Mansion?"
"Forehead…"
The emperor's face turned red, and then he realized that Han You was white.
I have to say that Han You is really lucky.
This is when he met the emperor who was born in the military. Han You's speech and behavior were no different from those of ordinary people. He had to follow the rules when meeting the emperor, how to speak, and not move at all. But precisely because of this, the emperor actually It feels very familiar, not too disgusting.
Or he said he was the emperor, and waved his hand: "It is your duty to share your worries for the king. Originally, this matter was the duty of your father, Yin Han Bairen of Jingzhao Prefecture. That's settled, get out."
Han You suppressed his depression and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, how much tax money did Beijing collect in previous years?"
"One hundred thousand guan, Jingzhong and..."
A look of ecstasy flashed across Han You's eyes: "Students will do their best and assist His Highness Prince You to do their best."
The emperor looked like an old subway man with a question mark on his face, and the old eunuch was also confused.
The 100,000 guan the emperor mentioned refers to the sum total of the capital in the capital and all the lower counties. Just talking about the capital, it is only 50,000 guan, which is less than 50,000 guan.
"Okay." The emperor chuckled: "Then I will make a bet with you. If you can do it, I will grant you the position of teacher in the palace. But if you can't do it, if you lose the bet..."
Han You swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "How about losing the bet?"
"I will punish your nine tribes. How about it? Do you dare to bet?"
Han You was dumbfounded and subconsciously shouted: "Bet a few times!"
Emperor: "A handful."
Han You: "..."
"If you can't do it, come and see me."
Han You neither dared to get angry nor speak out. How could I have mitosis, cut off my own head, and then sneak over to you?
"Okay." Han You simply gritted his teeth and said bravely: "One hundred thousand guan, but what if I just encounter collusion between officials and businessmen and offend someone who shouldn't be offended?"
"Collusion between government and businessmen?" The emperor took a sip of tea and muttered: "If there is no fucking collusion between government and businessmen, I want you to shut up."
Han You opened his mouth wide, suspecting that he was hearing hallucinations.
The emperor was stunned for a moment. Did he accidentally say it out loud?
Zhou Yan's eyes lit up and he suddenly said: "Sir, you can't bully that..."
Han You's expression changed slightly and he quickly covered Zhou Yan's mouth.
The emperor noticed this scene and couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that the relationship between the two was so good.
I don't know what he was thinking of, but the emperor asked in a confused manner: "You took Prince You to the brothel, but did you do something shameless?"
"No, definitely not. If there is, Your Majesty, please give me the slightest chance...let me raise my head to see you."
"Why go to a brothel?"
"Because..." Han You didn't know what to say.
The emperor suddenly waved his hand: "Others, wait outside the palace, Han You stays."
