Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 25 The Great General Returns! 【For collection, for follow-up】

However, for Gao Lishi, Zhao Yu has no arrangements for the time being, but let him and another little yellow door serve him, and prepare to observe for a while, and give him a position and reward after he formally ascends the throne.

There are rules in the palace, regardless of any reason, rashly favoring the inferior will only have a counterproductive effect.

This point, Zhao Yu is still very clear in his heart.

Silent all night.

On the second day, Zhao Yu left the Xuanniao Pavilion and went to the imperial city to meet the Empress Dowager Xuande. Before leaving, he took Gao Lishi and Gao Lishi out of the Xuanniao Pavilion on the grounds that they were quite in line with him.

Now that he entered Shenjing City, Fan Zhen, who was in command of the Black Wolf Guard, bid farewell to Zhao Yu, and led the army to the camp to deliver orders.

Before leaving, Huang Jingming told Fan Zhen that after the matter was over, he would take the four hundred Black Wolf Guards back to the capital camp and wait for him to return to the capital.

When the new king takes the throne, he, the general who assists the country and the actual head of the officials, will naturally appear.

Outside the gate of the imperial city, Zhang Xiu and Wang Pu led the convoy to the pre-arranged residence.

Although housing prices in Shenjing are expensive, the price of renting a house is still within the reach of most people.

Zhao Yu, led by a servant, entered the imperial city and went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Xuande.

As a marquis who came to Beijing on the orders of the Queen Mother, he had to meet this middle-aged woman whom he hated so much that he gritted his teeth.

The meeting between the two did not create too many disturbances. Although Empress Dowager Xuande couldn't stand the boy in front of her, she was helpless.

She could indeed find any reason and ask her subordinates to kill this kid, but doing so would mean that she would completely tear herself apart with the old man Huang.

Even if his side is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the old man, there are still some basic rules that both the emperor and the queen mother must abide by, otherwise, the Chu Kingdom will be in chaos.

Zhao Yu, on the other hand, had nothing to say about the Queen Mother Xuande, the mastermind behind the murder of her parents, and the questions and answers with her were more like a fictional story.

The two talked for less than half a stick of incense, and the slightly bored Empress Dowager Xuande found a reason to end this unpleasant meeting.

After Zhao Yu stood up and bid farewell to the Empress Dowager Xuande, she was led out of the Compassionate Ning Palace by a servant and walked towards the imperial study.

According to the usual practice, he will stay in the imperial study room for the next few days, keeping vigil for Emperor Daxing until the enthronement ceremony begins.

"Your Majesty, this An Guohou is too rude."

Seeing Zhao Yu walking away, the chief eunuch Wang Lin said with a little resentment.

"This kid has old man Huang backing him up, so he naturally doesn't take the Ai family seriously. Huh, I'll have a good harvest from him in the future!"

Empress Dowager Xuande raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly.

Just as Zhao Yu disliked Empress Dowager Xuande, Empress Dowager Xuande did not like Zhao Yu at all.

A branch of the clan dared to do this to her, the queen mother, and it was so outrageous!
…………

Time flies, and several days have passed, and there are only less than three days left before the auspicious day chosen by Qin Tianjian for his enthronement.

This morning.

After experiencing the violent wind and rain last night, people ushered in a rare sunny day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the birds were flying high.

At five o'clock, in front of the Suzaku Gate, the main entrance of Shenjing, a large number of people who were about to enter the city had already gathered.

They waited for the guards to open the city gates so that they could enter the city to do business.

However, as the nearly three-foot-high city gate was pushed open amidst the ear-piercing "creaking" sound, people saw groups of city guards pouring out of the city, driving the people to the side of the official road. Senior officials in official uniforms appeared in people's sights riding tall horses.

These high officials, who were rarely seen by ordinary people, got off their horses outside the city gate one after another, and then stood in a row at the city gate according to their respective ranks, with serious expressions on their faces, as if they were going to welcome a certain important person.

"Master Jun, these adults look like this, are they waiting for some important person?"

Among the crowd, a vendor bravely asked the city guard beside him.

"You don't know?" The city guard tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "General Zhen Guo returned to Beijing today, so these adults came out early and waited. You people can enter the city when the general enters the city gone."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that the general of Fuguo was about to return to Beijing, no wonder there was such a big battle, but...

When is this going to happen?
These ordinary people are not close to any generals. They only care that because of today's incident, they bought a few less goods and earned a few copper coins. When they return home at sunset, they will have to be complained by their own mothers-in-law. A few words.

The sun was gradually rising, and when some people were impatiently waiting, they suddenly heard excited shouts from a distance:

"I'm coming!"

A group of people stretched their heads and looked towards the end of the official road, only to see a group of more than a thousand people surrounded by several cars, winding towards Shenjing.

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a group of warriors holding high the general's banner, followed by two tall knights on horseback holding two flags painted with blue dragons and white tigers. This was a guard of honor given by the emperor himself. .

Behind the dragon and tiger flags are pairs of guards holding knives, shields, bows, arrows, lances, and halberds.

Behind the guards, three knights of 600 people escorted a chariot pulled by four horses, and walked slowly towards the crowd.

On the carriage is a golden soap-covered umbrella with claws and two coils, and the inside is decorated with ivory, which can be described as extremely gorgeous.

This is the imperial driver of Huang Jingming, the general of Fuguo.

Situ Zhang Kangnian, who stood at the front of the officials, opened his eyes, led the officials to meet him, and bowed to the car driver from a distance.

"I'm waiting to welcome the General back to Beijing!"

Huang Jingming stood up from the car, cupped his hands towards the officials and said, "My colleagues welcomed me personally outside the city gate. I am very grateful."

When the officials heard the words, they all opened their mouths and said:

"The general's words are serious. The general is the pillar of the country. He eliminates bandits and has done great service to the country. We will come here from now on."

"This is a matter within the lower official's duties, why do I need to say thank you?"

All of a sudden, there were voices of flattery, and the people who were close to each other could only hear their brows furrowed.

Is this the normally aloof official?

How come this behavior is no different from fawning over the three elders in the village?
Huang Jingming cupped his hands again and said:

"I would like to thank you all for being here. Now that the emperor is buried and the affairs of the court are busy, I would like to ask you to put state affairs first and leave as soon as possible, so as not to delay the livelihood of the people."

As he spoke, he turned his attention to Zhang Kangnian.

"Mr. Situ, why don't you take the same car with the old man and go to the palace to visit the remains of the late emperor?"

"The general has an order, how can I not follow the old man's reason?"

Facing the eyes of everyone, Zhang Kangnian smiled heartily, and got into the car with the support of a warrior.

The convoy set off again, and the officials also dispersed, and the news of the general's return swept across the entire city of Shenjing like a storm.
