After the two men came in and helped Shen Tu Gang away, the emperor suddenly kicked the imperial case over and became furious.

Han You shouted directly: "Your Majesty, he is playing tricks on you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor scolded: "Shentu Gang, you can't treat me like a three-year-old child."

Han You looked a little weird: "You also know that he is playing tricks on you?"

"Nonsense, let me ask you, did you send someone to watch outside Shentu Mansion?"

"That's for sure." Han You said openly, "Isn't that what I do?"

"Did anyone enter Shentu Mansion last night?"

"No way, I went to bed early yesterday and no one reported it to me."

Boss Zhou: “…”

"I know even without reporting it, that guy from Shangshu Province must have gone to Shentu Mansion last night."

"Wait a minute."

This time it was Boss Zhou's turn to look strange: "I am talented, smart, and sharp-eyed. I saw that the old man was deceiving me, but how did you see it?"

"Brother, can you stop being like him? Shen Tu Gang was the last one to go to court, which means he didn't have any contact with any officials before entering the palace."

"That's right." The emperor's face was gloomy: "Since we haven't contacted him today, Lang Qibai, the minister of Shangshu Province, must have entered Shentu Mansion last night. If it is according to what Shentu Gang said, he sent someone to check last night, and we only got the truth this morning. News…”

Han You said: "But he hasn't seen Minister Lang Qibai at all this morning."

"I met him last night. Since I met him last night, I have enough time to enter the palace in person or send someone to report to me."

"Even if this matter is true, he confirmed it last night and deliberately delayed it until today to say it in front of all the ministers."

"The purpose is to take away your credit and sell you a huge favor from the Ministry of Punishments."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Damn it!"

Han You sighed and sat on the steps under the dragon chair, with the emperor sitting next to him.

Both of them cursed.

Boss Zhou scratched the itchy wound: "There is one more thing that I can't figure out."

"Say, I have to leave quickly after that. I didn't eat in the morning."

"Why did Shen Tu Gang..."

Halfway through, Boss Zhou slapped his thigh: "Han You, you are going to be in trouble."

"No." Han You looked strange: "I'm unlucky when I'm unlucky. Why are you happy?"

"Have it?"

"You were so happy just now."

"Oh, the trivial details are not important. What I want to say is that there will inevitably be rumors that are unfavorable to you among the scholars. Based on my understanding of Shen Tu Gang, he should take the initiative to release the news about his son Shen Tu Ming in the street. The matter of whipping the servant will most likely be taken out of context and turned into the story of your father being nosy, and the doctor Wu Mingyue will also lose her reputation."

"I guessed it, but what does this have to do with him being late for court?"

"The one who was bullied by your Han family and his son was so humiliated that he couldn't sleep all night and became ill."

Han You stood up calmly: "You can approve the memorial. I'm leaving. Goodbye. I'll see you tomorrow, Dabao."

Boss Zhou looked like he was hesitant to speak.

Seeing that Han You was about to walk out of the hall, he turned back to look at the emperor, with an expression of disgust and contempt on his face.

"It's nothing. It's a waste to spend the little money I have. Really, it's nothing. Hey."

Han You shook his head and left with a disappointed look on his face.

Boss Zhou turned his head and looked at Wen Wu: "What about you?"

Wenwu: "Well, yes, yes."

Boss Zhou was unhappy: "Why, you have a temper. Why do I think you are unhappy?"

"No." Wen Wu raised his head and stared at the ceiling of the hall: "How dare I do that, haha."

Seeing that Wen and Wu didn't give him a chance to find trouble, Boss Zhou said angrily: "It's not a big deal. Isn't it just that I was robbed of my credit? I thought he didn't care."

This time it was Wen and Wu's turn to be impatient.

If you don't take it seriously, you went to work as an undercover agent in the household department and uncovered so many corrupt officials. If they didn't mention it or talk about it, why don't you reward them?

Now that you are being robbed of your credit, do you have the nerve to say that people don't care?

Wen Wu opened his mouth, no wonder Commander Han said that these two money were wasted, but this pure man also felt that these two money were spent badly.

In the past, the old eunuch thought that the emperor was too doting on you, Han You, but now he saw that it was Han You who was too spoiled by Zhou Laoba, and other courtiers would have become anxious.

Suddenly there was a scolding outside, and the scolding was very unpleasant.

Han You was not cheerful when he left the hall for the first time in history. He cursed even the old man and the old eunuch in Taiqian Hall heard.

Boss Zhou came out, looked at the back of Han You who was cursing, and shook his head repeatedly.

"Looking at how angry this kid is, he doesn't know who he is scolding. It's unbearable."

Wenwu glanced sideways at Lao Ba, "Who are you scolding? Why, there were two emperors in the Zhou Dynasty?"

Boss Zhou's eyes were dark: "This is why I decided to ask Shen Tu Gang not to stay in the court for a long time after suppressing the family."

Lao Ba's face became more and more gloomy. In fact, when he was planning to become emperor, many insiders and outsiders didn't know.

Anyone who rebels has already made clear internal arrangements. Who will be the minister of Conglong, who will hold which position in the future, and who will be responsible for what.

Zaifu is the number one person under the emperor, how could Boss Zhou not consider it carefully?

Letting Shen Tugang be the prime minister was mainly due to two aspects.

First, Shen Tu Gang had a good reputation. In the previous dynasty, he was mainly from the official department. Although he offended many people, he also promoted many people. It is not an exaggeration to say that his disciples and former officials are all over the world.

Second, during the "interview", Shen Tu Gang had already expressed his intentions. The general meaning was that as long as the emperor appointed him as prime minister, he would help Boss Zhou stabilize the throne and then raise the butcher's knife against the aristocratic family.

The second thing that Boss Zhou values ​​​​more is that there are so many aristocratic families in the world, and there are so many officials and emperors in the past dynasties who wanted to kill the aristocratic families. In the end, who succeeded?

When the emperor saw that the old man had a strong head, he finally talked about the details.

In the details of the discussion, Boss Zhou, who is actually very good at reading people, discovered some clues.

Shen Tu Gang was an extremely ambitious man, and his ambition had nothing to do with power or money. Power, money, and status were just tools for him to achieve his goals.

As the understanding deepened, Boss Zhou saw that Shen Tugang had a good plan.

First of all, Shen Tu Gang is already old. How many years can he still stay in the court at this age? Five or six years is too much.

So in these five years, there is a question mark whether Boss Zhou can completely clean up the mess of the previous administration.

To take a step back, even if it succeeds, how many years will it take to deal with the aristocratic family, planning, wooing, suppressing, dividing and conquering, etc., etc., ten years is at least ten years.

So can Shen Tu Gang last for fifteen years?

The answer is definitely not. Whether he can live for fifteen years is open to question.

This means that in order for Shen Tu Gang to succeed and fulfill his promise to Boss Zhou, two prerequisites must be met to have a certain chance of realization.

The first prerequisite is that Shen Tu Gang must always be the Prime Minister and stay in the court no matter how old he is.

The second prerequisite is that just relying on the official position of a prime minister cannot suppress aristocratic families, a better reputation, greater power, and even more party members.

If the emperor wants to kill the aristocratic family, he has to continuously add halos to Shen Tu Gang's body. The more halos he adds, the higher the success rate.

This also involves another issue. If Shen Tugang finally fails, he will risk his life and carry out a big attack. In his eagerness for success, he may ignore the stability of the country and use more and more methods to deal with the aristocratic family. Radical, thereby fulfilling his reputation.

To say that Shentu Gang's struggle experience in the imperial court was rich and powerful, it was not true. It might not be as good as the ministers of various ministries, of course, excluding the Ministry of Works.

Otherwise, Han You and Lao Ba wouldn't have spotted his flaw today. To be honest, if Shen Tu Gang was the minister instead of the prime minister, he would not dare to be so crazy. It is only fair to criticize each other in the court. If he competed, he might not even be able to get into the top ten in Beijing.

At this time, Han You, who had left the palace, was still angry.

"Dachuan'er!"

Han You directly threw the Yidaowei belt card hard on Lu Baichuan's chest: "Immediately go to the Ministry of Justice and ask what's going on. Why does the Shangshu Province know more than me about those criminal officials who embezzled food and wages for the border troops? !”

"General, go now!" Lu Baichuan threw the badge back to Han You's chest: "General, I also have this badge, I don't need you."

Han You: "..."
