The others left the palace, but Han You stayed.
No one knew what the Emperor meant. Zhou Yan wanted to ask, but was pulled out by Zhao Xiang.
In the huge palace, only Han You, the emperor and the old eunuch Wen Wu were left.
Han You was not sure why the emperor left him behind, so he lowered his head and pretended to be frightened.
The old eunuch was on the emperor's right side, bent over and motionless as if he had been cast on a body-fixing spell.
The emperor Zhou Ke didn't even look at Han You, he unfolded the memorial and looked at it to himself.
The palace was extremely quiet. As time passed by, Han You finally couldn't help but raise his head, wanting to secretly take a look at what the emperor meant.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, he was met with the Emperor's emotionless gaze.
Han You laughed dryly and quickly lowered his head. The emperor frowned: "Why are you laughing?"
"ah?"
"I ask you why you are laughing."
Han You didn't know how to answer.
"Bold." The old eunuch suddenly said, "Why don't you answer the emperor's question?"
Han You is convinced. What can I say? I thought you were dead on the table when you said there was no movement for a long time?
After thinking about it, Han You raised his head and asked uncertainly: "The student has never been to the palace and does not understand the rules of the palace. The student dares to ask, in this situation, should I...should I kneel down?" "
The emperor snorted coldly: "Kneel down if you want."
"oh."
Han You groaned and lowered his head again.
The old eunuch was stunned, and then scolded: "Don't kneel down yet!"
Han You asked, "Your Majesty, you can kneel down if you want. Students don't really want to kneel down."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The emperor suddenly laughed loudly and looked coldly: "Since I came to the throne, I don't know how many so-called people have acted like this maverick, thinking that I will look at me differently, but they don't know that in my eyes, these people are like jumping off the beam. Ridiculous as a clown."
Having said this, the emperor stood up, walked around the imperial case and came to Han You with a faint tone.
The emperor stood up and looked at Han You condescendingly. His appearance and temperament were completely different from those before.
"Han You, son of Han Bairen!"
The emperor walked towards Han You step by step: "You know, if King You is not here, I can punish you with death because of your repeated rude words!"
Han You's expression changed slightly, and he inevitably became nervous. He was a little too small just now.
"If I ask about your talent and learning, you are quite good at it. Although you are a scholar, you are not a scholar. At such a young age, you are somewhat ignorant of court affairs. But when I look at you, you are becoming more and more unhappy. Do you know that? Who do I hate the most?"
Han You asked tentatively: "You talk about being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, talking about loyal ministers, and then secretly form cliques for personal gain?"
"Um..." The emperor looked thoughtful, nodded slightly, and asked again: "Do you know who I hate the most?"
"You are full of books on the Four Classics and Five Classics, but behind your back you are full of male thieves and female prostitutes?"
The emperor was silent for a long time, then frowned and said, "Do you know who I hate the most?"
"You are a scholar who is not afraid of death. He contradicts you every day, but you can't kill him or scold you?"
"No, no, no, no." The emperor's expression moved slightly and he cursed: "This kind of stupid scholar should be ranked first!"
Han You: "..."
Raising his head and looking at the emperor carefully, Han You suddenly realized that this guy... didn't seem to be a serious emperor.
But after thinking about it, Han You suddenly realized that it was impossible for a serious person to assassinate the former emperor just to kill his master.
The emperor took a deep look at Han You and found that this boy seemed to be a little bit to his liking.
You are right. The emperor hates the people Han You mentioned. It can be said that he hates them to the extreme.
"Do you know what kind of people I hate?"
Han You sighed silently: "The person who took the prince to the brothel."
"No, he is someone who is pretending to be stupid in front of me."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Han You, and sneered again and again: "I ask you again, for the last time, why you took Prince You to the brothel. If you don't tell me within three breaths, you will be killed!"
After all, Zhou Yan called him sir, and Han You didn't hesitate at all.
"I saw You outside Prince You's palace carrying gold and silver on his back and said he wanted to travel around the country and go to the brothel by name. If he didn't go, he would throw a tantrum and say I was an assassin and ask the guards to chop me into pieces."
The emperor looked strange: "Why did you go to Prince You's Mansion? Within three breaths, I didn't tell you that I wanted your dog..."
"You Wang's adopted son's friend set up a horse in Bei City and hurt people, causing trouble in Jingzhao Mansion. My father dealt with it impartially and impartially. I was afraid that You Wang would be angry, so I came to apologize."
"Wait a minute, I know about King You running out of the palace, but this obviously happened yesterday. Why did you go to the brothel again today? Within three breaths, no..."
"The owner behind the brothel is Liu Wenguan, the director of the Ministry of Industry. He has done bad things, opened a gambling stall in the brothel, forced good girls to become prostitutes, and wants to wipe out the Han family. So I took Prince You to check out the location."
"What's the point of stepping on?"
"Pursuing the details and collecting illegal evidence to prepare for counterattack against Liu Wenguan and others..."
"Speak the fuck slower!"
"Oh." Han You slowed down his speech: "The first person to enter the brothel was the palace guard Guo Peng. After Guo Peng went there, he saw the daughter of Pao Ze. After asking, he found out that many military relatives had been sold to the brothel. No. , was deceived into a brothel, and..."
Han You secretly glanced at the emperor's face and continued: "He was deceived by the local gentry and local officials into the capital, and then sold to brothels and various mansions as slaves."
The expected rage did not appear on the emperor's face. The emperor just returned to sit behind the imperial cabinet with his hands behind his back.
After a long silence, the emperor asked quietly: "Liu Wenguan is just a small boss, who else is behind it?"
Han You's expression moved slightly. The other party didn't ask if it was true or not, but directly asked who else was behind him!
"Wu Yong, young minister of Honglu Temple."
"No wonder." The emperor held up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a half-smile, "How can you, a little scholar, defeat the Nine Temple Young Masters?"
A strange look flashed across Han You's eyes, and he frowned: "You... think I can't fight?"
"Can't fight."
"oh."
After Han You said oh, he lowered his head, with a look of disappointment that could not be concealed on his face. He was disappointed with the Zhou Dynasty and the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
The emperor looked at Han You with the same half-smiling look: "What are you thinking about?"
"The student is thinking that since he can't fight, he can go to the door to admit his mistake and beg for mercy. Maybe he can still survive in this world."
"Oh?" The emperor's smile became even stronger: "Then you want to fight against the young minister of Honglu Temple, are you doing it to protect your Han family, or for those innocent people?"
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"Why it doesn't matter."
"Because..." Han You raised his head and looked directly at the emperor: "Because I can't do anything, just talk, I will be laughed at by others, and I will look down on myself."
Han You added in his heart, I not only look down on myself, but I also look down on you, the emperor!
The emperor stopped smiling: "I am considerate of the people and have the people in my heart. Do you believe it or not?"
The old eunuch glanced at the emperor slightly, wondering why the emperor talked so much to Han You for no reason.
"Student...uh..."
The emperor was angry again: "You don't believe it?"
"letter."
"Still pretending to be stupid!" The emperor's eyes widened: "I said, if you continue to pretend to be stupid, I will kill you!"
"Then...that's WeChat, yes, WeChat."
The emperor suddenly laughed loudly and pointed at the palace door: "Go away, if the Jingzhao Mansion sends 100,000 yuan of tax money to the Ministry of Household Affairs, I will make you fight against the director of the Ministry of Works."
Han You's face froze, and he bravely asked: "There is only one director of the Ministry of Industry, he also... Your Majesty, if the student can receive 150,000 yuan, do you want the student to be able to fight against the young minister of Honglu Temple?"
The emperor was angry: "Why didn't you say that you had collected two hundred thousand guan to get rid of Zhengqing?"
Han You's face showed a look of ecstasy: "It's settled, I don't need a chief minister, just 200,000, a young minister will do!"
The old eunuch was stupid, and so was the emperor. The two looked at Han You as if they were looking at an idiot.
After a long time, the emperor's eyes were full of inexplicable color: "You can really collect 200,000 tax dollars in the capital. How can you, a mere scholar, dare to speak so shamelessly?"
"The common people are willing to risk their lives as a guarantee!"
The emperor looked at Han You with a scrutinizing gaze, suddenly chuckled, and spoke lightly.
"Go away. Before the tax season, the tax money is deposited in the household department. Come to the palace to see me. If you can't collect it, you will stay in the palace until the guards take you to the sky prison. I will take your life for the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Han Youcheng gave a sincere salute and walked out of the palace with a smile on his face.
The happy Han You left, but the old eunuch seemed hesitant to speak.
The emperor lowered his head, looked at the hemp paper beside the desk, and nodded repeatedly.
"At the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their habits are similar, but their nature is far apart..."
The old eunuch suddenly realized.
The emperor has always been eclectic. The reason why he could respond to hundreds of responses in the army back then was precisely for this reason. If you are talented, come to the big stage of rebellion!
