Li Jinyu woke up in Huo Caiyu's arms the next day.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Huo Caiyu had obvious dark circles.

Li Jinyu rubbed his eyes, propped up his upper body, and asked directly in a daze, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Huo Caiyu was silent for a while, and then replied: "It's nothing, Your Majesty is too worried."

Only then did Li Jinyu realize that he was lying in Huo Caiyu's arms, he was startled, and quickly sat up straight.

Seeing Huo Caiyu struggling to rub his numb half of his body, Li Jinyu felt a little guilty: "Are you okay?"

He used to sleep by himself in the past, and was used to digging hard into the soft sawdust; the few times he fell asleep at Huo Caiyu's place, he didn't share the same bed, he never expected to slip into the arms of the future emperor...

Huo Caiyu paused and replied, "It's okay."

Li Jinyu opened his eyes with his head covered under the blanket, his hair was messy, so he didn't think much, got out of bed and called the servant over to serve him.

Chang Kang came in with his head down, and at a glance he saw that His Majesty was in good spirits, while Mr. Huo was blue and black and couldn't get up on the bed.

——It seems that His Majesty did a lot of tossing Mr. Huo last night...

Chang Kang shook off his disrespectful thoughts, and hurried over to help Li Jinyu tie his hair and change his clothes.

This point can still catch up with the early court, Li Jinyu thought that he still had to discuss with the prime minister about the follow-up of the whipping method, so he took two steps outside the hall with great reluctance.

Suddenly, Li Jinyu turned his head and looked at Huo Caiyu who was still lying on the bed, stretching his body and exercising his blood: "Huo Aiqing, come with me."

In Li Jinyu's eyes, all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are not as cute as Huo Caiyu.

Huo Caiyu looked up in surprise.

He thought that his shield would be useless in the case of the prime minister in the past.Why did His Majesty still call him together?

Is His Majesty going to play against the Prime Minister today?

Huo Caiyu got off the bed, her legs were still a little numb after being pressed all night.But he still insisted on coming over by himself, bowed his head and said, "Caomin complies."

Chang Kang couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines: Your Majesty is really a scumbag!Mr. Huo is already like this, yet His Majesty won't let him take a good rest?

He endured and endured, but still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Your Majesty, can you ask Lan Tang to take a bath first?"

Didn't call Lan Tang last night, His Majesty and Mr. Huo should have not bathed and cleaned up after being happy...

Li Jinyu hated taking a water bath the most, so he refused without thinking, "No, I won't be able to make it to the morning court."

Chang Kang closed his mouth and cast a sympathetic and helpless look at Huo Caiyu.

……

Asking Huo Caiyu to go to court together was just to give himself courage.

But when a minister bluntly said that "Huo Caiyu has no name and surname, and is not worthy of a foothold in the Hall of Supreme Harmony", Li Jinyu was not happy.

Let's not say that the world will belong to Huo Caiyu in the future, just say that he deliberately pulled Huo Caiyu to embolden him this time, how can he let this unknown person spit on him?

"How can Huo Aiqing be nameless?" Li Jinyu sat up straight, deliberately making his tone a bit colder, "I am planning to make him an official, and let him preside over a matter of whipping."

The minister heard the displeasure in Li Jinyu's tone, and immediately shrank back.

He just said a word according to the prime minister's instructions, and there was no need to really offend His Majesty for this.

It is completely unreasonable for His Majesty to kill ministers. It is not common to collectively plead for orders like yesterday, and the law does not punish the public.

When Prime Minister Ye saw the minister shrinking back, he cursed inwardly that it was useless, and he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, according to the law of Dadi, the appointment of Beijing officials must be selected from the Imperial Academy or those with titles, and they cannot be randomly assigned."

Li Jinyu looked at Prime Minister Ye and found it more and more unpleasant, so he couldn't help but blurted out: "Who says he doesn't have a title?"

Prime Minister Ye was slightly taken aback.

"General Huo Yi died in the frontier battle. According to the law, those whose family members are outstanding can receive the title?" Li Jinyu recalled the content mentioned in the original book, and raised his chin slightly. "I think Huo Caiyu is excellent enough to be awarded the title."

Prime Minister Ye frowned deeply: "Your Majesty, there is only one battle report about General Huo Yi, and there is no detailed description. It is not known whether he died in the frontier battle or something else. It would be inappropriate to confer a title hastily."

Huo Caiyu suddenly raised his head, stared at Ye Guixiang closely, and gritted his teeth.

How could he not hear the hidden meaning of Prime Minister Ye's words?

This is accusing his father of not honorably dying on the battlefield!

Huo Caiyu felt a surge of hot blood rushing up in his chest, making him wish he could go up and punch this traitor right away.

His father and countless comrades guarded Dadi with their blood and lives, but they were wantonly slandered by these officials who were sitting on a vegetarian diet!

It was rare for Li Jinyu to understand what Prime Minister Ye meant.

Because in the original book, the imperial court suppressed a lot of pensions because of "unknown circumstances"; Emperor Jingchang even humiliated the Huo family because of this, and said contemptuously that General Huo Yi might have been shot to death by his own people on the way to defect.

Li Jinyu knew that if he wanted to maintain his innocent image and slash Huo Caiyu's hatred, now was the best chance.

The reputation of his father and the safety of his family have always been Huo Caiyu's objections.

As long as Ye Chengxiang echoed a few words, Huo Caiyu would be furious instantly.

Li Jinyu subconsciously looked far away.

His eyesight was not very good, he couldn't see the expression on Huo Caiyu's face clearly, he could only see a pair of eyes that ignited flames in the morning sun.

Li Jinyu could even imagine the anger, humiliation and bewilderment on Huo Caiyu's face.

A surge of enthusiasm suddenly surged from his heart, making him blurt out: "General Huo Yi died for the country, so you have the opportunity to chatter in this hall. How dare the prime minister talk about martyrs?!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Huo Caiyu raised his head and stared blankly at His Majesty who stood up.

Prime Minister Ye didn't seem to have expected Li Jinyu to say such words suddenly. He frowned, stared at Li Jinyu, and was silent for a while. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Jinyu send to the general who had been silent all this time: "Generals, why not think about it?" , I, Dadi, can have the stability I owe to whom."

There are many generals in the general's faction, and it was a little sad that General Huo Yi died in battle but no one took care of him. It was just because of the instructions left by the general before he suppressed the rebellion that he would not confront the prime minister's faction head-on, so he kept silent;

At this time, His Majesty clearly expressed his support for the military general, which immediately made their minds active.

The fact that the household department suppresses the money and grain of the military department is the heart disease of the general faction for so long, and it is also an important reliance for the prime minister's faction to be so arrogant.In the past, His Majesty and the Prime Minister were close, but now they suddenly have a quarrel with the Prime Minister. Does it mean that they also have a chance to stand out?

Thinking of this, the people sent by the general looked at each other and stood up to support Li Jinyu.

Prime Minister Ye raised his head and looked at Li Jinyu for a moment, then lowered his head slightly, unable to see the expression on his face clearly, he just let go and said: "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, I will wait for the order."

Afterwards, General Huo Yi was conferred the military rank smoothly, and Huo Caiyu was conferred the title of knighthood, and Huo Caiyu was specially given the position of "inspector and tax officer" to supervise the implementation of the One Whip Law in Qingshui County.

Huo Caiyu was holding the jade plaque representing the official title and title, with a slightly dazed look on his face.

He doesn't care much about his title, but his father's reputation has always been his heart disease.

Now, His Majesty has justified the name of his father who died in battle?

And gave him the chance to implement the New Deal?

Huo Caiyu's eyes were sore, he gritted his teeth slightly, and lowered his head.

……

When the meeting ended in the morning, Prime Minister Ye walked out expressionlessly, and looked back at the plaque on the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

An official came over and seemed to see that Prime Minister Ye was not in a good mood. He flattered him and said, "Prime Minister, why worry? He is just a male favorite, and he is only bewitching His Majesty for a while. There is nothing wrong with it."

"Yeah, it's just a male favourite." Prime Minister Ye repeated blankly, his eyes suddenly fell on this sycophant official, "Do you also think that the whip proposed by Inspector Huo and the tax officer is a fantasy?"

The official's eyes lit up: "That's natural! The government of our Di Dynasty has been perfected under the care of the prime minister. What can he understand, a male favorite who betrays his beauty?"

Prime Minister Ye looked him up and down, and suddenly sighed: "You Shilang, your talent doesn't match this official robe."

After saying that, he walked away.

You Shilang was left to ponder on the spot: the prime minister said that his talent does not match the official robe... Could it be that he wants to promote him?

……

Huo Caiyu was formally appointed an official, so it stands to reason that he should be released from the palace to open the mansion by himself.

But Li Jinyu forced him to stay: "I am not yet fully literate, Huo Aiqing should stay in the palace temporarily."

Huo Caiyu didn't resist like at the beginning this time, and only asked to go home.

He hadn't seen his mother and sister for so long, and he was always worried.

Li Jinyu thought that Huo Caiyu would not be able to run away if he hadn't done a whip yet, so he readily agreed.

Just ask to be back before dark.Otherwise, what would he do if he encountered the cold again tonight?

Huo Caiyu left home in a fit of anger that day, and came back after a long time. During this period, he almost passed through the gate of hell, and his mood was very different from when he left home.

The Huo family's house in the capital is not too big, but it is very warm under the management of Huo's mother.The courtyard is well-organized, and the bluestone strips next to the well are smooth and shiny.

A girl in a thorn hairpin sarong was washing rice by the well, when she saw Huo Caiyu push the door in, she was startled slightly, and then she was overjoyed:

"Ayu is back?"

Huo Caiyu's eyes were slightly hot: "Sister."

Huo Caijin shook off the water on her hand and walked over quickly.Just when Huo Caiyu thought he was going to have a warm hug from his siblings, he slapped him directly on the face with a "slap" with icy splashes.

"This slap is for your mother." Huo Caijin's voice was stern, but there were tears in his eyes, "Such a big man, you are afraid that your mother will not die of anger if you rush to intercept the emperor's dragon chariot ?”

God knows, when their mother and daughter learned that Huo Caiyu was sent to the inner prison for angrily berating His Majesty, they cried countless times at home!

Huo Caiyu touched his left cheek and lowered his head guiltily: "It was my fault."

If his Majesty hadn't been as fatuous and tyrannical as the rumors said, he would have already been buried in the wasteland by now, and his family might be involved!

Huo Caijin knew that her younger brother had always had his own ideas, so it was rare to see him admit his mistake so obediently, and with a little anger, he looked him up and down, and seeing that Huo Caiyu's complexion was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine, mother is out, come in first. "

Huo Caiyu entered the room, just about to chat with his sister about what happened recently, when he suddenly noticed something on the table in the corner, and frowned slightly: "What is that?"

The gold-patterned jade-bottom painted dragon cup, why do you think it is an object in the palace?
