Jingshui flows down from Jingshan Mountain and flows ten miles east of Shenjing City. It irrigates countless fertile fields along the way and is the most important river around Shenjing City.
Zhao Yu's motorcade, escorted by four hundred black wolf guards, passed through 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 turns 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 Marquis An Guo, and we also ask General Fan to give an order to let all the sergeants clear a path."
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 see Marquis Anguo!"
With that said, 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 motorcade.
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 up front?"
Zhao Yu, with his head wrapped in white cloth and wearing mourning clothes, opened the curtain and looked at Zhang Xiu.
"Master Marquis, don't be anxious. I will send someone to ask. Now that we are only ten miles away from Shenjing, I don't think there will be any more thieves."
Before Zhao Yu could speak, he heard an energetic voice coming from the front.
"I, Huang Wenbo, who holds the title of Jin, together with all my ministers and ministers, have come to pay homage to Marquis Anguo!"
Zhijinwu Huang Wenbo?
Hearing this name, Zhao Yu's mind quickly flashed back to the information he had collected on various figures on the general's side through various channels before setting off.
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 is really sitting in a carriage waiting for the other party to come to see him, then the public opinion in Shenjing will not know how to shape 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 ministers meet the king, they have three kowtows and nine bows, and the ceremony of bowing to the head is the most solemn and formal of the nine bows.
During the salute, the person giving the salute kneels down on the ground, the man kneels with his legs spread out to form a figure-eight shape, and the woman kneels with her legs together. Press your left hand on your right hand (palm facing inward), cup your hands on the ground, and slowly lower your head to the ground. You must stay for a while with your head on the ground, your hands in front of your knees, and your head on the back of your hands.
In this way, a set of prayers is completed.
Facing such a grand gift from Huang Wenbo and others, Zhao Yu reacted quickly after being stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped aside to avoid it.
"Master Huang, gentlemen, Yu is no more than a marquis, how can he accept this great gift? Don't forget that Yu is just one of the ministers of Chu."
This Huang Bowen is very good at digging holes.
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 you dare to accept such great gifts from civil and military officials before inheriting the great treasure, then you may become domineering after ascending the throne.
As for Mr. Huang and others, it is their duty as ministers to give you this great gift, and they also think highly of you, Zhao Yu. But if you dare to accept this gift, it means that you, Zhao Yu, do not understand etiquette and are arrogant.
Maybe this guy is domineering and cannot rule the world, so he will come out.
At that time, it will be a huge blow to one's own 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, which is a head taller than Zhao Yu himself. He has a muscular body and a bearded face. His eyes are so bright that people dare not look at him. .
When Zhao Yu looked at Huang Wenbo, the other party was also looking at him.
"Marquis An Guo has a majestic appearance, and he is indeed of the Wuzong bloodline. If Brother Zhao Qin knew about it, he should rest in peace."
Mentioning his deceased father, Zhao Yu's eyes showed a little sadness.
"My late father once mentioned the General and Mr. Huang many times in front of Yu, saying that you and the General are the white jade pillars holding up the sky and the purple golden beams bridging the sea. If the General hadn't worked hard at night and night, checking for leaks and filling in the gaps, and conquering How could we be in today's situation if we didn't submit to Da Chu."
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.
Unexpectedly, Huang Wenbo's eyes narrowed slightly with joy when he heard Zhao Yu's words.
The two of them just exchanged pleasantries back and forth. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, 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 wonder if what I said is a public matter or a 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 Mr. Huang is talking about is a public matter, please say it in front of all your lords; but if what you are talking about is a private matter, wouldn't Mr. Huang hear the words 'the Tian family's selfless matter'?"
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 established as 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!"
