Han You did not dare to delay. After leaving the palace, he immediately took the three brothers of the Sha family and went straight to the official department.
He had a bad feeling. Zhao Tai's behavior was too abnormal, something must have happened.
As a result, when Han You arrived at the Yamen Office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he asked and found out that Zhao Tai did not return to the Yamen Office after going to court, but went directly back to the Zhao Mansion.
Han You inquired in detail and found out that usually Zhao Tai went directly back to the government office after going to court, and the servants of the Zhao family would bring meals. Today was the first time in history that this happened.
Han You frowned like Crayon Shin-chan, got on his horse and headed to Zhao Mansion.
Arriving at Tailongfang, they soon arrived outside the Zhao Mansion. Han You and the other three got off their horses.
The vermilion door was closed tightly, and the copper handle shone with golden light, making people wonder whether the handle was coated with gold powder.
The courtyard walls are tall and the bricks and stones are tightly stitched together, as if they are brand new.
The plaque hung high and was wiped spotless.
Han You has also been to many mansions of adults, but compared with the Zhao mansion, it seems particularly shabby.
It has the same door, the same plaque, the same courtyard wall, steps, and stone lions. The Zhao Mansion gives people an extremely luxurious feeling, as if even the stone lions are somewhat majestic.
There are even more doors than other mansions. There are seven people in total, three at the main entrance and two at the two side entrances.
Han You walked straight over. There was an old man in civilian clothes at the front door. He didn't know whether he was a steward or a disciple. He bowed first and spoke loudly.
"This is the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs. I dare you to ask, is this the place you are looking for? What's your surname?"
"I am Yi..."
Han You suddenly remembered that he might not have left a good impression on Zhao Tai, so he quickly changed his words and said: "I am the nephew of Lord Sun Shouting, the Minister of Household Affairs. I came here to visit Lord Zhao because I have something urgent to do. I was in a hurry and didn’t bring a greeting card, so I asked my father-in-law to go back to the house and ask for instructions."
"It turns out he is Master Sun's nephew. No wonder he is born with such talent."
In fact, this kind of thing is normal. It is like this in Beijing. It is very common for children from various families to visit when they have nothing to do.
The old man first praised Han You, and then gave him his hand: "Young master, today's trip is in vain. My master has already said that no one will be seen behind closed doors to thank guests."
"I have something urgent. Mr. Sun asked me to come. You go and report it first."
"Young Master Haihan, there is no need to report, I will not see anyone."
"I've said it's important." Lu Baichuan behind him said with a face full of anger: "Why, is it possible that Mr. Sun, the Minister of Household Affairs, should come in person?"
Seeing that Lu Baichuan didn't look like a good bird, the old man shook his head: "Don't say that Mr. Sun is here in person. The master said that even if Captain Han from the emperor's own army comes, he will not see him."
Han You was stunned.
Brother Hai, Dachuan'er, and Ah Zhui looked at Han You at the same time, with strange expressions on their faces.
Han You asked seriously: "Did your master really say that?"
"Yes, that's what I said just now when I returned home. I won't see anyone today, not even Colonel Han from the Emperor's personal army."
"Is it so targeted?"
Han You took out the riding whip directly from his waist: "I am Han You!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Then we can't see him anymore."
Han You narrowed his eyes: "I'll beat you, believe it or not!"
"I don't believe it." The old man smiled slightly: "Everyone in the capital knows that Lieutenant Colonel Han has never felt sorry for an ordinary little person who is not popular, so he will not anger the old man."
Han You looked the old man up and down: "You don't look like an ordinary little person."
"The captain's guess is right, the old man is Tai'er's fourth uncle."
Han You was startled, but he didn't expect that he was Zhao Tai's elder.
Lu Baichuan was so unhappy: "Didn't you just say that you are just an ordinary person? You are obviously Mr. Zhao's fourth uncle."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, I am just an ordinary fourth uncle."
Either that or Han You was able to deceive him, he chuckled and said: "Tell Mr. Zhao that His Majesty asked me to come and talk to him about whether he should be... or not the Prime Minister."
The old man's eyes lit up and Saya ran back.
After a while, the side door opened, and the fourth uncle came out with a splash, looking excited.
"Colonel Han has been waiting for a long time. Master is waiting in the main hall, but only the Colonel can enter."
"Treat me stupid, what if you want to chop me down?"
Han You handed the riding whip to Lu Baichuan: "You and Ah Zhui are waiting for me at the door. If I don't come out within two quarters of an hour, Dachuan'er comes into the palace and says that I was kidnapped by Mr. Zhao. Ah Zhui goes to the Ministry of War to find the boss. Huang mobilized troops to defeat the Zhao family, Brother Hai followed me in."
The skinny fourth uncle couldn't laugh or cry: "Is Captain Han joking?"
Han You ignored him. Zhao Tai was acting like a lunatic now. Who knows what happened to this guy? He was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If he found out that he was teasing him, he would give me another beating on the order.
In this way, Han You and Wang Hai followed their fourth uncle into the Zhao Mansion.
Just after passing the screen wall, Han You and Wang Hai were shocked.
The steps of the white jade pavilion are undulating. In front of it is not the main hall, but a small bridge over the pond. The colorful tiles of the pavilion on the right reflect the splendid brilliance. The pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water are scattered in an orderly manner.
Following the fourth uncle, we walked forward. The Moon Gate was not painted with vermilion, but was covered with white stone. It looked like a snow wall. After passing the Moon Gate, we saw a tall red brick house with brackets built under the eaves. It looked simple and heavy. On the right hand side, It is a fragrant pavilion with fallen tiles rising one after another.
Stepping on the jade road, passing the arched moon gate like a snow wall, you can see bricks and tiles from Qin and Han Dynasties, purple pillars and golden beams, which are extremely luxurious. Going further, it is not only luxurious, it is majestic. The buildings have carved beams, yellow tiles and red walls. majestic.
Entering again, you will see a different scenery: white walls surround the green willows hanging all around, the flower gate building is surrounded by hand-curved verandahs, and the adjacent Yong Road connects to the rockery. The rockery is dotted and leads to the flower pond, and the rocks are dotted.
Han You was stunned at the sight. At this moment, he secretly swore that when he made some money, he would renovate the Han Mansion according to the Zhao Mansion. Living in such a place may not be comfortable, but it would definitely be dignified!
Han You secretly lamented that if you have money, you can just spend it for fun. In other mansions, you have to go around the screen wall to reach the main hall. In Zhao's house, you have to go through the two moon gates to reach the main hall.
In fact, Han You thought too much. For the Zhao family, the area from the screen wall to the second moon gate was considered the area in front of the main hall.
Generally speaking, a room with an area of 30 square meters can be used as a bedroom. However, for rich people, it can only be used as a bathroom. You can't use a place as small as the bathroom as a bedroom.
Han You looked back for a few times. If he was going to be beaten soon, Dachuan'er and Jiang Zhui at the door wouldn't be able to hear him just by shouting.
"Captain Han!"
Zhao Tai was not sitting in the main hall, but stood outside and shouted expressionlessly.
Han You walked over quickly and saluted: "I have met Mr. Zhao."
"Without further ado, let me ask you why you are teasing me."
"Teasing you?"
Zhao Taileng snorted: "In order to meet with me, you actually said that His Majesty wanted you to meet with me to discuss the matter of the Prime Minister. Is it possible that this is true?"
"Smart." Han You snapped his fingers: "Yes, His Majesty didn't ask me to come, I came on my own."
"Okay, come on, let's see the guests off."
Han You spread his hands and said, "About whether you can be the Prime Minister or not."
"Okay, come on, let's serve tea."
"But first, let me say that I am only representing myself and it has nothing to do with His Majesty."
"Okay, come on, kick them out."
Han You chuckled: "But I can influence His Majesty's thoughts."
"Okay, come here, serve some good tea."
