Shen Tu Gang sipped his tea and sneered again and again.
He really didn't expect that Han You would turn against him and speak frankly.
But he doesn't know why, he likes this feeling, this feeling of not being pretentious and coy.
Han You took the waist token back and said, "Then there's no point in talking about it."
"Han You, you are a smart man. You should know that the higher you climb, the more miserable you will be when you fall. The more powerful the person who pushes you is, the more likely you will be shattered to pieces."
"No." Han You shrugged: "The higher I climb, the more charming the scenery in front of me becomes."
Han You also picked up the tea cup and blew on the tea foam: "I don't know if you have ever heard of this."
"explain."
"Did you know that there is a kind of bird that has no legs? It can only fly around in the sky throughout its life. When it gets tired of flying, it sleeps in the wind. It can only land once in its life, and that's when it dies."
Han You turned his head and said: "Sir, you don't want your husband to know about us... No, you don't want to be dragged to the ground by your descendants while you are still flying, right?"
"You, Han You, do you have this ability?"
"If you mess with me, the emperor will mess with you."
Shen Tugang's eyes turned cold: "Do you really think that you, the Commander of the Yida Guards, are more important in His Majesty's heart than I am, the Prime Minister?"
"I don't know, you go ask." Han You shrugged: "Ask Your Majesty, if you kill Han You, will His Majesty kill you, old BK."
Shen Tugang was so angry that he couldn't ask what he said. Wasn't this a mental illness?
However, he also knew that Han You was not bragging. This guy was indeed Jane in the emperor's heart. If he really used thunderous means to kill this kid, the emperor would definitely be unhappy.
"I'm asking you for the last time, Wu Mingyue, whether you want to hand me over or not."
"If you don't want to pay it, let your mother do it."
"good."
Shen Tugang did not get angry but smiled: "Han You, you are a talented young man in the capital. I have seen you and you are the first one. You are the best in mind, means and courage. When I see you, I always feel sorry for you." It feels like the waves behind push the waves ahead, so I might as well tell you that even I, the prime minister, are jealous of you."
"Really? Please tell me."
"You are young, Jian is in the heart of the emperor, holds an important position, and has an unparalleled reputation. At your age, I am still watching the government in the lower county. For people like you, either the future is limitless, or you will definitely die without a complete body. It is a pity. ,such a pity."
"It's a pity that if I offend you, I will definitely die without any body parts, right?"
"That's right." Shen Tu Gang slammed the tea cup and said, "Come, let's see you off."
Han You stood up, saluted again, and turned around.
Seeing that Zong Zhimei was about to take Han You out with an expressionless expression, Shen Tugang suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."
Han You stopped but did not look back.
Shen Tu Gang's expression was extremely complicated: "The last time you met me, you and I...were having a very happy conversation."
Han You sighed: "At that time, there was a place for me in His Majesty's grand blueprint, and there was also a place for you."
"Then why..." Shen Tu Gang shook his head: "It turned into what it is today."
"Because you make me sick, just like when I first met Wu Yong."
"I am different from Wu Yong."
"There is no difference between you and Wu Yong."
Shen Tugang was silent, and Han You stood there, still not looking back.
With a long sigh, Shen Tu Gang waved his hand: "If you die, I will erect a monument for you, and you will be worthy of being a young man. If...I die, remember, even you can fight me, and there will be no difficulties in the world. Don’t change anything for the rest of your life.”
Han You finally turned around and asked seriously: "At what age will you be able to become friends with me?"
Shen Tugang smiled, the smile of memories, but the more he recalled, the more bitter he became.
"Twenty-seven years ago, when I first joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I was very high-spirited and gave birth to Ming'er. After that..."
Han You walked in and picked up the tea cup: "Tea instead of wine, I would like to pay homage to Lord Shentu, the iron-clad minister of twenty-seven years ago."
"Han You." Shentu Gang stood up suddenly: "I'm asking you for the last time, if you really want to be my enemy, who can get into my eyes..."
"I told you, don't pretend." Han You slammed the tea cup to the ground and pointed at Shen Tu angrily: "There must be many people who have been tricked to death by you like this. It's a pity that I am not stupid. If You really appreciate me, why did your butler walk in front when I, Han You, entered your Shentu Mansion?"
Shen Tugang was stunned, then smiled again, waved his hand, and sat down, with a cold expression on his face.
Originally, Han You wanted to drink up the last trace of respect in the tea cup. Now, even the respect from twenty-seven years ago has disappeared. Shen Tu Gang is hypocritical to the core.
Han You had no nostalgia anymore and walked out of the main hall, bypassing the screen wall until he left the house.
When walking down the steps, Han You suddenly turned back and looked at the expressionless Zong Zhimei.
"My name is Han You, the commander of the Emperor's personal army. Next time you meet me, remember to walk behind me."
Zong Zhimei's eyes jumped, and Han You suddenly took out the token: "Now, salute."
"you…"
"This token is as if your Majesty is here in person, salute you!"
Zong Zhimei took a deep breath and saluted with great humiliation: "Zong Zhimei, a grassroots citizen, I would like to send you to the commander."
"Without ceremony, go back and tell Shen Tuming that there will be a banquet at the villa tomorrow, and I will marry Wu Mingyue into my Han residence. I won't care about it from now on. Don't cause trouble tomorrow. Tell him that this is a request, not a warning."
Zong Zhimei was furious when he heard this: "You really think..."
With a "clang", Han You suddenly pulled out the sword from Lu Baichuan's waist and pointed it directly at Zong Zhimei's forehead: "Now, tell me, you will tell Shen Tuming word for word!"
Zong Zhimei was so sad and angry that she clenched her teeth tightly.
The sword shimmering with cold light was passed forward inch by inch.
"Caomin, I will..." Zong Zhimei gritted his teeth and said: "I will tell the young master, every word!"
"Grass people just eat grass honestly and don't pretend to be jackals, tigers or leopards."
Han You threw the sword to Lu Baichuan, snorted contemptuously, got on his horse, and drove away.
Zong Zhimei gritted her teeth in anger, then turned around suddenly and ran back to complain.
This was the prime minister's butler, a prominent figure in the capital. Faced with Han You's domineering behavior, he could only file a complaint, that's all.
But when he ran back to the main hall, Shen Tugang slapped him hard on the face.
Zong Zhimei was wronged because everything he showed was "ordered" by Shen Tugang unknowingly.
If Shen Tugang really admired Han You, how could Zong Zhimei have walked in front when he first entered the mansion?
When this happens, there is only one possibility. Usually in the mansion, Shen Tugang showed hostility, real hostility, to Han You.
This is what Zhou Ke expressed in the palace before. In the earliest days, the Ma family and tax inspections were handed over to Shen Tu Gang.
These are two major things. If they are done well, they will be two great achievements.
In the first thing, Shen Tugang got involved and wanted to guide him, but in the later stages, Han You stopped playing with him at all.
The second thing is that Shen Tu Gang didn't have the right to participate in either of them, and Han You did it faster and better than him.
Just imagine, with Shen Tu Gang's state of mind, mind, and attitude, how could he have a good impression of Han You?
Therefore, what Zong Zhimei showed was hypocrisy and submissiveness. She went out to greet her personally without saying anything, but walked in front when she entered the house.
Han You, who was riding on the horse at this time, felt the cool breeze and smiled.
He was originally regretful, regretting that he could not remain calm with honor and disgrace, that he could not sit there and bargain with Shentu Gangxu.
But he didn't regret it, because he was afraid that he felt a kind of fear, the fear in his heart, that he would change.
People change slowly through constant compromise. This change is not transformation, but just assimilation.
Talking and laughing with Shen Tugang, exchanging interests, constantly retreating and making concessions to achieve the goals you want. Gradually, gradually, you get used to it and get used to "compromising" reality.
This may be a smart move. It will lead to a prosperous life and avoid a lot of fights. Gradually, you will become more versatile and good at dancing. Gradually, you will forget your original intention. You will no longer have the spirit and pride. In the end, you will become a qualified official. .
Han You thought this was harmful. This kind of "harm" was even worse than that of Shen Tu Gang. Shen Tu Gang could kill his body at most, but he himself would kill his own heart.
Once he kills his heart, his friends around him will leave him, and the emperor will not trust him. The most important thing is that he will live like what he hates the most.
After leaving the city, the four of them slowed down their horses. Lu Baichuan asked cheerfully: "Are you arguing?"
"Yes, we had a quarrel and the conversation fell apart." Han You shrugged: "It shouldn't have collapsed, at least it shouldn't have collapsed so quickly. I couldn't bear it."
"clear."
Han You was just about to say that you understand, when he suddenly asked for no reason: "In the former Yidao Guards, it is rumored that even the sergeants in the Yida battalion are all fat-headed. Who is not rich? Why are you so poor?"
Lu Baichuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I am His Majesty's servant, how can I join them in making a fortune."
"No one knows if you are greedy. Anyway, the money you receive is officials' money."
"Not greedy."
Han You couldn't help but ask: "Then do you regret it? You are getting so poor every day."
"No regrets."
"Why don't you regret it?"
Lu Baichuan stretched out greatly, still looking like he was dying: "Because I am still alive and sleeping well."
Han You laughed loudly, lowered his riding whip, and said "drive", which was very satisfying.
