Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 23 Outside the Xuanniao Pavilion, the ministers met for the first time! 【For collection, for follow-up】

"Master Hou, what do you think, General, this Lord Jin Wuhuang has come this time? It seems he is here to test you, Master Hou?"

There was still a hint of confusion on Zhang Xiu's face.

He was puzzled, didn't the General and Lord Hou have already agreed on this matter, and you, Mr. Huang, as the cousin of the General, even if you don't support it, you shouldn't act like this.

Even a rough man can see that doing so will cause cracks in the not yet fully stable cooperation between the two parties.

"Youwei, this Lord Huang is not as reckless as you think. Sir, how will the Marquis react this time?"

Seeing that Huang Wenbo and his party left his sight, Zhao Yu just opened his mouth to ask Wang Pu.

A reckless and brainless person would not be able to hold Jin Wu's position, and it would be even less likely to become the number two figure in the general's line.

Who can obtain the current status, who is not a fox who has become a spirit for many years, and everyone is smart!
What the other party did was called a test, but it was actually a warning.

Warn him, the future king, to be more secure. His brother, General Huang Jingming, may not care, but the people below are all staring at you!

To be a puppet is to keep you safe for the rest of your life. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, otherwise, don't blame us for not giving you face as the titular master of Chu!
"Hou Ye responded properly, showing his duty as a minister. Now that Hou Ye has not ascended the throne, he is still a courtier, not a monarch. In this response, even if that Lord Huang wanted to find fault, he couldn't find any faults."

When he said these words, Wang Pu's face was full of approval.

The assistant I chose is a smart person, and a smart person who knows how to advance and retreat, which is undoubtedly a kind of luck for a counselor.

While Zhao Yu and Wang Pu were talking, Fan Zhen, who was in charge of the Black Wolf Guard in front of the team, looked at Zhao Yu with admiration.

To be supported by a great general to ascend the throne as emperor, for ordinary clans, it is a huge piece of pie that fell from the sky, but for others, I am afraid that they are already overjoyed, and they can't wait to receive the decree on the first day, and rush to Shenjing the next morning.

As for this Marquis of An Guo, this journey can be regarded as being cautious, fearing that he would make a wrong step.

In this way, he can be regarded as a successful king.

Chariots and horses rattled.

At sunset, Zhao Yu's motorcade arrived outside the Xuanniao Pavilion.

"Situ Zhang Kangnian and all the civil and military officials are here to meet Lord Hou!"

Outside the Black Bird Hall, dozens of civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Zhao Yu arriving in his car, they all bowed to greet him.

"My lords, you have betrayed me!"

Zhao Yu hurriedly got out of the car, and respectfully said to the ministers:
"My lords are the pillars of the country. Yu is only a young man, so I still need a lot of advice from your lords."

As he spoke, he bowed to return the salute.

Cao Huan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, raised his voice in the crowd: "According to etiquette, you are the emperor, so you don't have to pay homage to our officials."

Zhao Yu looked at Cao Huan, the Minister of Rites who was tall and straight, with a graceful bearing, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

To treat these ministers who came to greet them, I must not treat them the same way I treated Master Huang just now.

Zhijinwu Huang Wenbo is a loyal direct descendant of the great general, and he cannot win them over. Among these ministers, there are still many neutral factions. If I have a better attitude, I may be able to reap their favor and even win them over to my side. .

Even if the general has monopolized power in the court these years and uses his power for his own purposes, he still cannot truly cover the sky with one hand.

In the Great Chu Dynasty Hall, in addition to the general faction, there are three factions: the neutral faction, the queen mother faction and the royalist faction.

The general line is headed by General Huang Jingming, the general of the auxiliary state, and includes nearly [-]% of the officials in the court. Among the six departments, except for the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the other three ministerial departments are all held by close associates of General Huang.

In addition, the Empress Dowager Party is headed by Zhang Chao, Minister of the Dali Temple, and Ma Xinyi, Minister of the Household Department, and the neutral faction is headed by Situ Zhang Kangnian, Cao Huan, Minister of Rites, and Ma Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. It is the official Qingliu of the Overwatch Council and the Taixue.

In Zhao Yu's eyes, the neutral faction and the royalists are forces that need to be fought for as much as possible.

He traveled thousands of miles to Shenjing. Even with the assistance of Zhang Xiu and Wang Pu, he was still weak in the face of General Huang. In this way, he, the new king, has the possibility of confronting the opponent in court.

Therefore, in the face of Cao Huan's persuasion, Zhao Yu still insisted on returning the courtesy to the ministers.

"Everyone is a minister of the Great Chu, isn't it true that Yu is not? Even if Yu will be the king in the future, he is still a minister of the Great Chu just like you. In this case, facing the understanding of many seniors, Yu, as a junior, How can you not return the favor with courtesy?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers nodded secretly.

The new monarch is humble and courteous, which is a blessing rather than a disaster for Da Chu.

Compared with An Guohou, Emperor Daxing did all kinds of ridiculous things because he was doted on by the Queen Mother since he was a child...

Although the son did not speak of his father's faults, and his ministers did not speak of his king's faults, as long as he remembered that Emperor Daxing had died due to drowning, everyone's faces would feel hot.

The geese leave their voices, and the people leave their names.

A hundred years later, I’m not sure what the younger generations will say about the ministers of their dynasty!
Even if Your Majesty is stupid, don't you courtiers know how to advise?

Therefore, although His Majesty is at fault, so are you courtiers.

With such sighs, the ministers and Zhao Yu entered the Black Bird Pavilion together.

Xuanniao Pavilion is the royal summer resort, and the second gate of the palace is called Zhichemen, which means that everyone except the emperor must get off their horses and enter the palace on foot.

Zhao Yu, like the other ministers, got off the carriage and prepared to enter the Black Bird Hall on foot.

Several counselors persuaded: "According to Da Chu's practice, you can directly enter the Xuanniao Pavilion by car."

Zhao Yu heard this and said seriously:

"Yu received the Queen Mother's order and was conscripted. As for what the court will arrange for Yu, it is still uncertain. The court's laws and regulations should not be lightly abolished. As a clan, Yu should abide by it and set it as an example for the world. In this way, the court Laws can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the country can have long-term peace and stability. What is good at the top must be bad for the bottom. If even hundreds of officials and clans regard the state's laws as nothing and think they can be trampled on at will, then the common people will not take the laws to heart Now, thieves are rampant, and riots are not far away from us. And these are all our sins!"

Hearing Zhao Yu's righteous words, the civil and military officials who came to welcome Zhao Yu were all surprised.

"Old Lord Hou has taught a good son!"

Situ Zhang Kangnian, who was over seventy years old, stroked his beard and sighed.

"If everyone thinks like the Marquis, then the prosperity of Chu will be just around the corner. Marquis, please come first."

"Mr. Situ, you are the elder, please go first."

After the two were polite, Zhang Kangnian was in front, followed by Zhao Yu, followed by a group of ministers, and a group of people entered the Xuanniao Pavilion in a mighty manner.

The Xuanniao Pavilion, which had been silent for a long time, became lively again.
