Zhou Ben fainted in the end and was dragged back to the dungeon by Wen Wu and Lu Baichuan like a dead dog.
Dachuan'er is quite humane. He asked the doctor to give Zhou Bi medicine on his own initiative and then returned with Wen Wu.
Under the stage, Han You and Lao Ba just sat on the ground, side by side, speechless for a long time.
Han You turned around and picked up a piece of grass, unconsciously wrapping it around his fingers, over and over again.
"Don't be sad."
Lao Ba opened his mouth, with a look of guilt on his face: "Zhou Ben, he... Zhou Ben doesn't know many things, and I never had time to tell him. I still think about him being by your side, and I will know it as time goes by. Han You, please don’t be sad because of your behavior.”
"I have nothing to be sad about."
"You...are not sad?"
Han You looked at the grass on his fingers and remained silent.
"You are indeed heartbroken."
Lao Ba bumped Han You with his shoulder: "Tell me, tell me, it will make you feel better."
"nothing to say."
"Just tell me."
"What do you want me to say?" Han You said faintly: "You say that I, Han You, work hard for the palace, but I am called a hawk dog and a lackey by the nobles of Tianhuang. They look down on me from the bottom of their hearts and think that I, Han You, should be with the ministers." As they say, it is natural for you to sacrifice your life for the palace?"
"this…"
"I still regret that I have some regrets. I regret that I am the same age as the Ninth Prince. I regret that the second prince was beaten twice by you and Concubine De because of me. I regret that the third prince was beaten until his skin was bruised because of me. I regret that he came out of isolation to save me. I killed the eldest prince, but I pretended to be an official and let him go out to kill the enemy and narrowly escaped death. Do I regret that if one day, any of the princes ascends the throne and becomes emperor, will they hate what I did and kill my whole family?"
Lao Ba suddenly became anxious: "I will never see this happen if I live for one day!"
Han You laughed, his smile was very teasing, and he was so embarrassed that he laughed.
Yes, when you were alive, the Han family had no worries, but now that you are dead, your heir has ascended the throne and become the emperor.
There are so many ready-made examples in the history books. In order to become the emperor, the prince endured it. The first thing he did after becoming the emperor was to kill the people he disliked before.
"Yes, I regret it. In fact... I should be like other courtiers. I should make good friends with the prince and every prince. I should be good at dancing, graceful and respectful to the imperial power."
"Bastard, if that's the case, what's the difference between you and those drunkards?"
"But at least those wine bags and rice bags will live a long time, their descendants will live a long time, and the family will be prosperous, right?"
Lao Ba glanced sideways at Han You and murmured, not knowing what to say.
Han You didn't regret it, he was just angry, sad, and a little scared.
I met the third prince Zhou Bi three times in total.
For the first time outside the palace, in front of the emperor and his ministers, Han You gave Zhou Ben enough face, and Zhou Ben looked like he realized his mistake.
The second time at the villa, because he knew about Sha Liang's exploits, Zhou Ben was beaten severely and was later imprisoned in a dungeon.
Tonight was the third time. In the small courtyard, Zhou Ben's attitude was so sincere, and he looked like a good boy who would correct his mistakes when he knew they were wrong. But after looking at it again, he yelled that Han You was a hawk from the Tian family.
Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of chastity being exchanged for counterfeit money. This also made Han You doubt whether people in the royal family could really exchange their sincerity for their sincerity. For Zhou Yan and Zhou Tong, he was sure that they would not change after many years. ?
"I'm really scared. Your Majesty, I have a wife and a child. The appearance of His Highness the Third Prince makes me unable to stop thinking about it. Now that I am trusted by you and you favor me in every possible way, the princes still treat me well." Respectfully, okay, are the other princes just like the Third Prince, just tolerating it, and one day they say it's me..."
"Sun mother!"
Zhou Tong in the distance suddenly became angry; "I'm going to beat that bastard again, no, ten times. I'm going to bring Lao Jiu and my eldest brother here to beat that beast to death!"
His Highness Can Gui was so angry that evil fire was surging in his chest. His first thought was not to tell Han You that he would not "change", but to give the third son a good beating.
Lu Baichuan grabbed Can Gui and shook his head to stop making trouble here.
Wen Wu slapped Lu Baichuan's hand away and shouted angrily: "Let him go, let him hit!"
It was obvious that Wen Wu was also angry, very angry.
"Han You, I..."
Lao Ba's heart felt like needle pricks, and the pain was unbearable.
He could understand and understand Han You's panic and sadness.
For the sake of the palace and the Tian Family, I have done so many things, offended so many people, done everything I should and shouldn't do, but in the end, I was called "Eagle Dog" by the Tian Family and the prince.
As a result, when I saw that the prince was forbearing and being submissive, he couldn't help but howl after being beaten.
How not to make Han You panic, how not to make him sad, how not to make him worried.
"good!"
Lao Ba suddenly gritted his teeth: "I will make Zhou Xiao the crown prince and the crown prince. I will ask him to worship you as his teacher, the prince's young teacher. One day he ascends the throne, and you, Han You, will be the emperor's teacher. In this way, at least I can protect him." You Han You have no worries for three generations, I will do what I say!"
Everyone present looked shocked. It was not that they disapproved, but they just felt that the emperor Zhou Ke was too "emotional".
In fact, establishing a prince is not friendly to the reigning emperor. Many emperors delay it as long as they can. If they can't, they will make all kinds of troubles to weaken the influence of the Eastern Palace, check and balance the court, restrain the prince, etc. Wait, anyway, you must at least be fully prepared before establishing a heir apparent.
"Your Majesty." Wen Wu lowered his head and said, "Think twice before..."
Lao Ba: "Get away."
"oh."
Wen and Wu remained silent, still for no other reason than to shout out of duty and duty.
Lu Baichuan glanced at Wen Wu and said, "Are you cheap?"
Wenwu: "Get out!"
"Hey." Han You looked both angry and kind: "You are always like this. Every time when I hesitate, you always say a few words that make me want to drag the whole family to die for you to repay the saint's grace. .”
Lao Ba burst out laughing, extremely proud.
"You should think about the prince's matter again. Don't be so arbitrary just because I am a foreign minister. Besides, I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing."
"No." The emperor put away his smile: "I originally loved Zhou Xiao. You saved his life, and he also found his reputation through all possible means. In this case, you should take care of Xiao'er. This prince is a good prince. If he is bad, you, Han You, should be responsible for teaching him."
"Okay, okay, please stop talking. If you keep talking, I really want to go to the East China Sea with a knife and kill all the disobedients for you."
Lao Ba laughed again, becoming more and more proud.
"The king and his ministers complement each other." Lu Baichuan, who had recently borrowed a book from the manager Wang Hai, interjected: "It can be passed down as a good story and praised by future generations."
Lao Ba laughed even more crazily, and said happily: "Yes, but we are both monarchs and ministers, and also close friends. First, close friends, and then monarchs and ministers. If I can only get one of the two, I want Han You to be my best friend, Zhou Ke, in this life." , I have no regrets."
Lu Baichuan glanced at Wen Wu provocatively, as if to say, learn how to kill the eunuch.
Han You also smiled, and the lingering worries and haze in his heart were swept away.
Lao Ba gave a perfect solution. Just teach and assist the eldest prince Zhou Xiao carefully. With Lao Ba on the throne, the Han family will have no worries for at least two generations. If nothing goes wrong, in the future, when the prince Zhou Xiao ascends the throne, Han You will be here for at least three generations. Wu Dai Wuyou, not to mention anything else, just with the two identities of Prince's Young Master and Emperor's Master, even if Zhou Xiao was unhappy with Han You in his heart, as long as he wanted to be the emperor, he must treat the Han family with courtesy.
Of course, there are special cases where one kills one's own teacher first after ascending to the throne.
But this is very rare, very rare, and Han You also knows Zhou Xiao's temperament very well, and he attaches great importance to love and justice.
Lao Ba bumped Han You with his shoulder again and said cheerfully: "Don't worry now."
"We'll see."
"Then... we'll see."
The two looked at each other and smiled, looking at the crescent moon in the night sky, both satisfied.
In this world, whether you are a king or a minister, it is a blessing to have a close friend.
