Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 51 People's hearts are beginning to move, in the Chu Yu Tower! [Please collect, please read]

After the court, the courtiers walked towards the palace gate in twos and threes.

Chu Ziwen, the imperial historian, was walking when he suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him.

"Master Chu, Lord Chu, wait for the next official!"

Chu Ziwen looked back, but it was Gao Zhan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

This Mr. Gao Zhan was so old, but he ran back and forth with Huang Jingming. His flattering and flattering appearance really made people feel unfavorable.

And he, Fan Yizhou, the right servant of the official department, and Zhou Rui, the left servant of the household department, were nicknamed "Three Wolves of the Yellow Family" by the courtiers in private.

Well, the minister is also a wolf.

Suppressing his unhappiness, Chu Ziwen asked in a flat tone:

"I don't know if Mr. Gao called me to stop me, what advice do you have?"

Gao Zhan wiped the sweat off his head, took a breath, smiled, cupped his hands and said:
"Master Chu was joking. I called my lord to stop me. I just wanted to ask my lord if I have some free time tonight. I have set up a good banquet in the Chu Yulou for the honor of my lord Chu."

Chu Ziwen became more and more unhappy. He tossed his sleeves and snorted coldly:
"Master Gao is just joking. Don't you hear that people with different ways don't conspire with each other. I don't think there is anything to talk about with Mr. Gao. Please save this feast for Mr. Gao to eat slowly!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, Gao Zhan grabbed his sleeve.

"What is the meaning of this, Mr. Gao?"

Chu Ziwen narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Lord Chu misunderstood."

Gao Zhan hastily handed over his hand and confessed, then looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Your Majesty is invited to the banquet, I just want to chat with you about His Majesty's business."

Seeing Chu Ziwen looking at him suspiciously, Gao Zhan knew that if he didn't show some details, he might not be able to win the other party's trust, so he said in a low voice:
"Don't worry, my lord, this move by the next official was not ordered by Master Jinwu Huang."

Chu Ziwen's eyes narrowed immediately.

Ever since Huang Wenbo was conferred the title of Marquis of De'an by His Majesty, and was promoted to the commander of the front of the palace, he has stepped down from his position as Jinwu, and almost no one can match Huang Wenbo with this position.

interesting……

Looking at the urgent eyes of the other party, Chu Ziwen only hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

"Master Gao is so enthusiastic, if I don't accept it, it will appear that I don't know what to do. Anyway, Mr. Gao tells me a time, and I will definitely attend the banquet when the time comes."

Seeing that Chu Ziwen finally let go, a big stone in Gao Zhan's heart fell, and he cupped his hands and said:
"In this case, I will be waiting for your visit at Chu Yu Tower."

…………

at sunset.

After explaining the scriptures to Zhao Yu, Wang Pu returned to the mansion on horseback.

"My lord, someone dropped two letters at the porter today."

The old butler welcomed Wang Pu into the house, and just mentioned this matter.

"Two letters? Do you know who sent them?"

"I asked the concierge and he said that one was sent by a knight-errant, but he didn't know who asked him to deliver the letter; the other was sent by Mr. Wu Yizhi Wu."

"Heh, when has my little yard like Wang Wenbo's been so lively? Bring it here and let me have a look."

A look of interest suddenly appeared in Wang Pu's eyes.

The butler seemed to know that Wang Pu would say that, so he took out two unopened letterheads from his sleeve and handed them to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu opened the envelopes one by one to look at them, and after reading them, a complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Come on, follow me into the study. I have something important to do for you."

in the library.

Wang Pu worked hard and wrote a letter in no time.

He put the letter into an envelope and sealed it with wax. He handed it to the steward standing aside and said:

"You don't want to come forward in person, secretly send someone capable to Zhang Du's commander's mansion, and find a way to deliver this letter to him."

The butler came from Wang Pu's hometown, and immediately understood what he meant, nodded and said:

"Master, don't worry, I'll do it now."

After that, he bowed to Wang Pu and left the study to arrange for people.

Sitting in front of the desk, Wang Pu gently tapped the table with his right index finger, and began to think in his heart.

This kid Wang Xiongdan is quite smart. Now that he has entered Shenjing City and joined the Imperial Guard, he knows he wants to contact me.However, I will soon switch to King Taihe, so it is best not to let others know about the relationship between the two of us.I have explained this matter in my letter, and Commander Zhang should be able to make arrangements there.

The most troublesome thing right now is that Wu Yizhi...

Thinking of this, Wang Pu couldn't help flicking the invitation card with Wu Yizhi's name in his hand.

On the invitation, the three gilded characters Chu Yulou shone in the candlelight.

This banquet is not a good one!

Wang Pu sighed, walked out of the study, called the maid, and began to prepare for today's banquet.

If the Zuijin Tower is the most upscale gold-selling cave, and the Kabuki, Maiko and actors Qingguan are the first-class in the entire Shenjing City, then the food in the Chuyulou can be said to be almost unbeatable in the Shenjing City.

When dignitaries entertain distinguished guests, they subconsciously choose Chu Yulou.

Ordinary people in Shenjing, if they can enter the Chuyu Tower and have a meal, they can enjoy it in front of their neighbors, relatives and friends for three to five months.

"Master Chu is honored to come here, it is really an honor for the lower officials."

In a box on the third floor of Chu Yu Building, Gao Zhan looked at Chu Ziwen who was led in by a servant, and Gao Zhan suddenly had layers of smiles on his face.

Chu Ziwen glanced across the entire box, saw only him and Gao Zhan, and there was no third person, and suddenly had a faint understanding in his heart, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"The delicious food and wine in Chu Yulou is well-known in the entire city of Shenjing. Even if I am an official, I feel quite heartbroken to eat here. Today, I have a treat from Mr. Gao. I don't spend a cent, so I will give it a try. But if you have a full meal, is there any reason not to come?"

After all, the two looked at each other and laughed.

While the two were chatting some gossip, dishes were brought to the table by the servants.

"Master Chu, please."

When the food was served, Gao Zhan raised the wine in his glass and said with a smile.

"Master Gao, please also."

Chu Ziwen also raised his glass in return.

The two drank the fine wine in their cups and smiled at each other.

"Master Chu, try Chu Yulou's authentic Fish Leaping Dragon Gate. This carp is a golden carp caught from the Canglong River. The meat is tender and delicious, and it is the best food."

"Then I would like to thank Bumin."

As Chu Ziwen said, he used the jade chopsticks in his hand to gently pick up a piece of fish from the Yuyuelongmen placed in the middle, and put it into his mouth to taste carefully.

"The chef of Chu Yulou is really good at cooking! This dish is a must! Master Gao, you should try it too."

"Then it's better to obey orders than respectful officials."

After half an hour, the two, who were full of wine and food, finally got to the point.

"I don't know Mr. Gao spent a lot of money to invite me, what is his intention?"

Chu Ziwen took a sip of the chilled wine and asked casually.

Gao Zhan laughed and said:
"What if I say that I am following the orders of Lord Huang? To tell you the truth, besides the official feasting for Your Excellency today, Lord Huang and Lord Wu are also hosting a banquet for Lord Wang Pu in this Chu Yu Tower."

"You..."

Chu Ziwen was about to have an attack, but he found that Gao Zhan, who was sitting opposite, was winking at him continuously. Most of the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly, and he pretended to sneer:
"Master Gao is playing his own role so hard!"

Having said that, his eyes were fixed on the opponent's right hand.

I saw Gao Zhan dipped a little vegetable soup on the dish with his right hand, and then quickly wrote on the table.

What caught Chu Ziwen's eyes was the two big characters [Zhonghuang] that were looming.

That's it!

Seeing these two words, the only doubt left in Chu Ziwen's heart was instantly swept away.
