Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 9 Ask the general to send troops to protect you!

After listening to the agreement reached by Wang Pu and Wu Yizhi, Zhao Yu closed his eyes and thought about it, tapping the table with his left little finger rhythmically.

This is a habit he developed in his previous life, and he was brought here.

Wang Pu didn't rush him and just drank tea quietly.

Just now, Cai Cai and Wu Yizhi's verbal confrontation really took a lot of effort from him.

Because the general had an absolute advantage, this made him almost scratch his head, and only then did he win a few favorable conditions for Zhao Yu's side.

The content of the agreement is also very simple.

General Huang Jingming of the Fuguo State tried his best to push Zhao Yu to the throne of the emperor. Whether it was pressure from the court or the queen mother, it was up to the general to resolve it, and Zhao Yu didn't have to think about it.

But in return, first of all, Zhao Yu, who became the emperor, must give Huang Jingming, the general of the auxiliary country, a royal title and governor of the Chinese and foreign military forces to reward his service; secondly, everyone under Huang Jingming's command must be promoted; finally, Zhao Yu needs to marry Huang Jingming. His daughter Huang Zixin is the imperial concubine.

The commander-in-chief of all Chinese and foreign military forces, including the Presidential Guard and the local army, is the highest military commander in the country and has great power.Although Huang Jingming was entrusted by the late emperor to serve as the auxiliary general of the country, the twelve battalions stationed in Kyoto Prefecture and Shenjing City, as well as the imperial guards guarding the palace city, were not within his command.

Now that he has the position of Commander-in-Chief of Chinese and foreign military forces, Huang Jingming can naturally extend his hand to the imperial guards.

"She's not a queen?"

Zhao Yu opened his eyes and asked this sentence.

"Master Hou, that was Wu Yizhi's original plan, but Wei Chen rejected it."

Zhao Yu didn't pay much attention to the change in Wang Pu's title, but instead became curious about the reason for Wang Pu's refusal.

"Weichen told Mr. Wu that Lord Hou had made an oath in front of the tomb of Old Lord Hou, that if the murderer who killed Old Lord Hou and others was not found, he would never marry a wife."

After hearing Wang Pu's reasons, Zhao Yu became even more curious.

"Then Wu Yizhi is also a man of wisdom, so he won't be fooled by you, sir, right?"

Although Da Chu Liguo is based on "loyalty and filial piety", as a rational political creature, he vows that this thing is no different from toilet paper. He can pick it up when it needs to be used, and throw it away when he wants to.

Wang Pu smiled and said:
"Of course not. In fact, what impressed him was that all the officers under the general's command were promoted to two ranks, and Mr. Wu himself was rewarded with an extra thousand gold. Of course, the minister also assured him that you, Lord Hou Before my father takes revenge, I will never appoint another queen. A three-pronged approach allowed Mr. Wu to relax."

"Mr. Wang has handled this matter very properly."

Zhao Yu nodded.

It can be said that if Huang Jingming, as a powerful minister, wanted to make his daughter a queen without Wang Pu's mediation, then he, the emperor who was almost a puppet, would have to hold his nose and agree.

Therefore, taking a step back, it is acceptable for Zhao Yu to confer Huang Jingming's daughter as imperial concubine.

In this way, if he really brought down this powerful minister in the future, he would not have to go through the process of "abolishing the empress".

"Master Marquis, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen on the way to Beijing, so I specifically asked Mr. Wu to dispatch a cavalry army from the general to protect the safety of Master Hou."

Wang Pu finally added a sentence.

"Sir, do you think there will be an accident on the way to Beijing?"

Faced with Zhao Yu's doubts, Wang Pu nodded.

For Wang Pu's judgment, Zhao Yu quite recognized it, and immediately called Zhang Xiu in.

"Youwei, how is the training of the guards in the palace?"

Zhang Xiu showed a hint of shame on his face, lowered his head and said:

"Thanks to the great trust of the Marquis, Xiu has only trained about fifty elite warriors in these days."

"How does it compare to those assassins back in the day?"

The only people Zhao Yu can use as a reference now are the assassins.

"Only one level better than those assassins, barely able to defeat two against three."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu lowered his head even lower.

According to his thoughts, the strength of these guards simply could not meet the standards in his mind.

Not to mention the standard Feixiong army, at least half of the strength of the Feixiong army, so that I can be considered worthy of Lord Hou's kindness.However, the strength of this group of guys is at most one-third of that of the Flying Bear Army.

Ever since he took over the role of the royal guard, the Marquis had asked for people and money, and he had never hesitated before agreeing to any request he made.As a result, I have practiced so many crooked melons and cracked jujubes.

This made Zhang Xiu feel extremely guilty, feeling that he had let down Zhao Yu's respect for him.

These fifty elite guards, plus ordinary soldiers and the cavalry sent by Huang Jingming, were almost enough to escort him to Shenjing.

However, looking at Zhang Xiu's expression, it was obvious that he would have misunderstood what he meant, but Zhao Yu didn't say it out. Instead, he got up and patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder, saying softly:
"Youwei has really worked hard in the past few days. After all, the time is short. Being able to train the guards in the palace to this level is enough to show that Youwei has worked hard. This is not Youwei's fault, it is really the fault of this Marquis."

After hearing Zhao Yu's words, Zhang Xiu's eyes were moistened immediately, and he secretly made up his mind to increase the strength of these guards in the shortest possible time.
[Ding, Zhang Xiu’s loyalty +7, intimacy +300! 】

Yes, this goal can definitely be achieved within one year.

After glancing at the system prompts, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, Zhang Xiu's loyalty was raised to 93 points, and Wang Pu's loyalty was only two or three points away from reaching 90 points.

"Sir, tell Youwei what happened."

Zhao Yu sat back on the chair and said to Wang Pu with a smile.

At this point in time, there are some things that need to be confessed to Zhang Xiu.

???

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Zhang Xiu, who was full of question marks, turned his gaze to Wang Pu who was at the side.

"Brother Youwei, the thing is like this..."

Wang Pu explained the ins and outs of it to Zhang Xiu in detail, and then Zhao Yu added something apologetically.

"I and Mr. Wenbo did not tell Youwei about this matter because it is of great importance. Please ask Youwei for your understanding."

In Zhao Yu's heart, Wang Pu and Zhang Xiu are the only ones under his command who are trustworthy and can be used to great effect. It is indeed a bit... unreasonable to hide this kind of thing from his confidants.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words, Zhang Xiu cupped his fists and said solemnly:

"Hou Ye's statement is absurd. Don't you hear that 'If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers, and if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your body, and if you don't keep secrets, you will be harmed'? This matter is related to the life of Lord Hou. How can you take it lightly? You must be cautious! Youwei, ah no, I don't have any complaints in my heart."

"Youwei's words won my heart." Zhao Yu nodded in agreement.

After all, Zhang Xiu is a young man. After a word of persuasion, he asked excitedly:

"So Youwei can be called His Majesty now?"

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Wang Pu, who was sitting upright at the side, suddenly changed his face.

"Youwei, be careful with your words, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth!"

"What do you mean sir?" Zhang Xiu's voice was slightly dissatisfied.

Although he respected Wang Pu quite a bit, but the other party scolded him in front of Lord Hou, ah no, His Majesty, and did not give him face, which made Zhang Xiu feel a little uncomfortable.

To be honest, he knew His Majesty a few hours earlier than Wang Pu!
