Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 22 The sword with the tongue 【For collection, for further reading】

Jingshui, which flows down from Jingshan Mountain and flows ten miles east of Shenjing City, irrigates countless fertile fields along the way. It is the most important river around Shenjing City.

Zhao Yu's convoy, escorted by four hundred black wolf guards, passed the Jingshui Bridge, and saw the city of Shenjing in the distance.

However, at this moment, there was a group of people waiting on the other side of Jingshui Bridge for a long time.

When he saw the leader clearly, Fan Zhen, who had been waiting closely, immediately relaxed, turned over and dismounted, and said:

"Fan Zhen has met Mr. Huang."

"It turned out to be General Fan. It's been a hard trip."

After Huang Wenbo returned the gift, he said:
"My lords and I want to see the Marquis of An Guo, so I ask General Fan to order the soldiers to make way."

Fan Zhen, who was Huang Jingming's confidant, readily agreed to this request and stepped aside first. His Black Wolf Guards also received his order and rode their horses to both sides of the official road to get out of the way.

In just a few breaths, a road appeared in front of Huang Wenbo. At the end of the road, the driver of Marquis An Guo could be faintly seen.

"My lords, please follow me and go to meet the Marquis of An Guo!"

As he spoke, Huang Wenbo took the lead and walked forward.

More than a dozen civil and military officials hesitated briefly and followed his footsteps.

Zhao Yu, who was sitting in the carriage, also noticed the movement in front of the convoy.

When approaching Shenjing, for the sake of his own etiquette, Zhao Yu sat back in the carriage again and mourned for Emperor Daxing.

"Youwei, what happened ahead?"

Zhao Yu, with his head wrapped in white cloth and wearing mourning clothes, opened the curtain and looked at Zhang Xiu.

"Master Hou, don't worry, Wei Chen will send someone to ask. Now that it is only ten miles away from Shenjing, there will be no more thieves appearing."

Before Zhao Yu could speak, he heard an angry voice from the front.

"Jin Wu Huang Wenbo, together with a group of ministers, came to pay homage to the Marquis of An Guo!"

Zhijinwu Huang Wenbo?

Hearing this name, Zhao Yu's mind quickly flashed through the information collected by various channels on the general's side before departure.

This man was the cousin of Huang Jingming, the general of the auxiliary state. Although he was tall and majestic, he actually followed the path of a civil servant. He was regarded as the second-in-command of the general's line, and he was Huang Jingming's spokesperson in Shenjing.When Huang Jingming was fighting abroad, he was responsible for all affairs in Shenjing, wooing courtiers and attacking political opponents. This man was extremely good at it.

Why did this person come to see me at this time?
Zhao Yuzheng, who had this idea flashing through his mind, was confused when Wang Pu's low voice reminded him.

"Master Hou, please get out of the car quickly. Don't let the people in Shenjing think that Master Hou will get carried away when he succeeds."

Zhao Yu was suddenly shocked.

Yes, he has not ascended the throne yet. In the final analysis, he is just a member of the clan who has entered the capital.

If he really sat in the carriage and waited for the other party to come to see him, then the public opinion in Shenjing would not know how to arrange him tomorrow!

Hey, this young prince is quite knowledgeable...

When Huang Wenbo saw a young man with a handsome face stepping out of the heavily guarded carriage, he curled his lips slightly, feeling a little fond of him in his heart.

But even so, it still did not prevent him from leading a dozen ministers behind him to salute the other party.

When courtiers meet the king, there is a saying that there are three bows and nine bows, and the ceremony of Jishou is the most solemn and formal ceremony among the nine bows.

When saluting, the giver bends his knees and kneels, the man opens his legs and kneels down to form a figure of eight, and the woman kneels with her legs together.Press the left hand on the right hand (palm facing inward), arch the hand to the ground, and slowly lower the head to the ground.Head to ground must stay for a while, hands in front of knees, head on the back of the hands.

In this way, a set of worship is considered complete.

Facing such a grand gift from Huang Wenbo and others, Zhao Yu reacted quickly after being stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.

"Master Huang, my lords, Yu is only a Marquis, how can I accept this great gift? Don't forget, Yu is just one of the ministers of the Great Chu."

This Huang Bowen dug a hole well.

Zhao Yu cursed secretly in his heart.

If he had not reacted and had received this gift, it would have been a big deal in the eyes of onlookers, and he would have become what they call an arrogant person.

If he dared to accept such great gifts from civil and military officials before inheriting the great treasure, he might not be so domineering after he ascended the throne.

As for Mr. Huang and others, it is the duty of a minister to show you such a great gift, and I think highly of you, Zhao Yu, but if you dare to accept this gift, it is because Zhao Yu doesn't understand etiquette and is arrogant.

Maybe this son is domineering, but the king will come out.

At that time, it will be a huge blow to his prestige.

Zhao Yu was complaining crazily in his heart while returning the favor to Huang Wenbo and others.

When both parties stood up again, Zhao Yu finally saw Huang Wenbo's face clearly.

This Zhi Jinwu is about 1.9 meters tall, a head taller than Zhao Yu himself. He is thick-backed, with a Chinese character face full of beards and piercing eyes, which makes people dare not look at him.

When Zhao Yu looked at Huang Wenbo, the other party was also looking at him.

"The Marquis of An Guo has a handsome appearance, and he really deserves to be of the blood of Wu Zong. If Brother Zhao Qin knows it, he should rest in peace."

When mentioning his deceased father, Zhao Yu's eyes showed a little sadness.

"My late father Zeng Zaiyu mentioned you, the General and Master Huang many times, saying that you and the General are the white jade pillars of the Great Chu, and the Zijin Liang. If you don't minister to the great Chu, how can you have the situation today."

The highest level of complimenting someone is not to praise how good the other person is, but to praise the other person's idol or ancestor. It is best to quote other people's comments.Huang Jingming, the general of the auxiliary country, is the idol in the eyes of his younger brother Huang Wenbo.

Hearing what Zhao Yu said, Huang Wenbo narrowed his happy eyes slightly.

The two exchanged a few polite words back and forth like this. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Huang Wenbo said seriously:
"Marquis An Guo, please ask these guards to retreat. I have something important to tell you."

Zhao Yu couldn't figure out the other party's intention and remained silent for a while.

At this time, Wang Pu, who was standing behind Zhao Yu, suddenly said:
"I don't know if what Zhi Jinwu said is a public or private matter?"

"Is this Mr. Wen Bo? I have heard of Mr. Wu's name from Mr. Wu. I just don't know, what about the official business and what about the private business?"

Wang Pu said seriously:
"If what Master Huang said is an official matter, please speak up in front of other adults; but if what Master Huang said is a private matter, wouldn't Master Huang have heard the words 'the heavenly family has no private affairs'?"

When Huang Wenbo heard this, not only was he not annoyed, he actually smiled and said:
"Sir, you are very eloquent. I have learned a lesson today."

However, when he returned to the General's Mansion and met Wu Yizhi, he said these words.

"Marquis An Guo is humble and knows etiquette, so he can be made emperor. However, if Prince Pu and Wang Wenbo cannot be used by my brother, he must be eliminated. Otherwise, with this person by his side, Marquis An Guo will be like a fish in water, and he will ruin his brother's plans in the future!"
