Seeing that the sun was already setting in the west, the boat had wandered to the west bank, but a servant was guarding the shore and shouted, "Report to the master, the jade pendant is coming back!" This old servant was an old slave under Madame Tidor, and no matter what the circumstances, he only called Mangergu the head of the house, and there was no second title.

Mang Ergu took the lotus leaf that covered his face, looked up in ignorance, and was immediately surprised: "So, he agreed? It's wonderful."

With that, with a soft leap, Manggu jumped onto the shore and ran eagerly to the backyard. Things can go so smoothly, and Ji Boyan can agree so simply, it is really quite unexpected. Now, there are many things to be arranged, the old army of the fiefdom has to arrange for them to enter the city and enter the palace, and the palace has to explore the way, and success or failure is here.

Seeing the white gauze Ergu's chariot heading towards Miyagi, the two black gauze curtains guarding the alley left silently.

"Gu Lord," although he had left the Lan Valley, the uncle still called Wu Kui like this, "Why did the leader of the society help that Zhao Bohu? Everyone in the world knows that once he resigns, the social leader will definitely take his place, why help him out of danger at this time? If he is told to investigate the truth about the surrender of the border army to the enemy, won't the social leader be under him alone?"

"You don't know Master's deep meaning." Wu Kui stopped his hurried steps: "Master and Zhao Bohu are political enemies, not blood feuds, and they want his phase power rather than his life. Besides, if the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty really died in the Guzhu Palace, it would be difficult for the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou to explain to the world if he did not go on an expedition. In this way, Master's long-planned strategy to destroy Hubei will be ruined."

"Oh, I see." Shu Yu nodded: "No wonder the Chaoge Branch has to be given the life of the society, and it must protect that Ji Zhongwen thoroughly, it is for this reason."

"You don't understand, it's not unhelpful to let Zhaohu investigate the truth about his cousin." Wu Kui suddenly felt some heartache: "One can be my cousin Zhaoxue, and the other is ...... Forget it, the affairs of the court are treacherous, and we can't find out."

In the early morning of the next day, sure enough, the greeting officer led the palace chariot and horse honor guard to summon Bohu the day before.

When I arrived at the square outside the Guzhu Palace, the faint morning fog had dissipated. The green tiles of the small roof of the Lone Bamboo Palace are golden and red in the early summer sunshine, the weeping willows are lined up on the square paved with coarse jade bricks, and the grass is full of willows, and the light catkins are like flying snowflakes that fill the palace, and this simple and majestic palace has a bit of the ethereal meaning of the fairy mountain.

Zhao Bohu couldn't help but stand up from the car and recite: "In the past, I used to be, the willows are still in the past, and now I come to think, the rain and snow are falling, flying and flying, and the catkins are like this!" He exclaimed: "The palace willows are the same as the snow, and the beauty of the lonely bamboo is worthy of it."

"Calling a good poet!" A loud laugh came from the ethereal catkins in the snowstorm: "Dai Shan greets Zhao Gong."

Zhao Bohu hurriedly got out of the car and handed it away: "The minister of state praises him, but he is ashamed."

Dai Shan smiled and hurriedly ushered in: "You and I don't have to see each other for the first time, why should we be so stubborn?" walked up to him and shook Zhao Bohu's right hand: "Come, you and I go together!" The two entered the palace gate side by side.

When he entered the palace and waited for the summons, from time to time a man's majestic rebuke came into the hall: "When it was summer, my mother and wife were guilty of the disease of old cold legs, and you were the palace doctor, but you were helpless, what is the use of raising you in the palace?"

Several old voices kept begging for mercy: "King Rongyu, Mrs. Tai is intolerant of the extreme cold in the north, and she fell into this disease when she was young. Now that we are getting sick, we are incompetent, so I ask myself to leave the palace, and I ask the king to spare our sins."

I only heard the man grit his teeth and say, "If it weren't for the blessings of his mother's wife, he would have beheaded the dog." The incompetent will all be expelled from the palace!"

Dai Shan was slightly embarrassed, and explained to Zhao Bohu in a low voice: "The gentleman is filial to his mother, but it's a pity that Mrs. Tai has old cold legs. Originally, it was only committed in winter, but this year, somehow, from spring to summer, he became increasingly ill, and gradually he couldn't stay. The widow was worried day and night, and he visited famous doctors to solve them, but he still didn't see any effect, so he saw what he sees today."

Zhao Bohu smiled slightly: "The filial piety of the Lonely Bamboo King can touch the heavens and the earth, maybe Mrs. Tai's illness can be turned around today."

Dai Shan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what the other party meant, so he vaguely responded, "I hope so."

A moment later, a loud cry came from afar in the palace: "Uncle and Zhou envoy Jin see - Uncle and Zhou envoy Jin see - uncle."

Uncle ......" Bobo is connected and continuous. Zhao Bohu frowned, and then couldn't help but smile again.

Dai Shan was a little displeased, and glared slightly, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Bohu said in a low voice: "The Six Xuan Gifts, the Rite of the Son of Heaven, it seems that the Lone Bamboo King is longing for my Great Zhou. Summoning the tiger dare not smile?"

Dai Shan said with a calm face: "The widow is indeed very particular, go, go to the palace!"

Zhao Bohu grabbed Dai Shan's sleeve again and said unhurriedly: "Your monarch summoned me with the gift of six Xuan, and Hu Zi should see me with the gift of six Xuan!" After saying that, he shouted, "The foreign minister has come to pay respect! Long life without borders—" After calling six times in a row, a protocol officer came to guide him, walked forward on behalf of Shan, and then summoned Bohu and entered the solemn palace of the Lonely Bamboo Palace.

The Six Xuan Ceremony is the pilgrimage ceremony for Zhou Tianzi to receive the princes. Zhou etiquette regulations: The big princes with the same surname as the royal family are collectively called "uncle", the small princes with the same surname are commonly called "uncle", the big princes with different surnames are called "uncle", and the small princes with different surnames are collectively called "uncle". All in all, it is nothing more than a ritual law to declare the blood relationship of monarchs and ministers.

The princes must listen to the proclamation and bow before they can enter the palace. The announcement is also exquisite: the six declarations of the great princes, ordered by the Son of Heaven, the first call by the "Shangjiao" at the entrance of the palace, and then the second announcement by the "Chengyi" of the palace gate, the third announcement of the "last Xuan" under the palace steps, and then the palace carriage and horse square to the lower introduction of the palace gate, the intermediary, and the upper introduction do the fourth, fifth, and sixth announcements in turn, until the sound reaches the princes waiting to be seen at the palace gate. This is the Six Xuan Gifts of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Dai Shan is not a lonely bamboo royal family, so there is Gao Xuan of "uncle". But after all, he was born as a warrior in the Northland, and he despised those corrupt etiquette the most, how did he know that he was particular about this? I only feel grotesque and cumbersome in my ears, but in front of Zhao Bohu, I have to maintain the prestige of Guzhu Jun, and I want to pull him straight in.

But Zhao Bohu came this time with a scheming, and after hearing the mystery of this, in order to follow the trip, he hurriedly pulled the act of acting for good. This is the wisdom of people who are good at diplomatic relations. The princes saw that the ministers used these six Xuan gifts to be arrogant, but after all, this Lone Bamboo King is an ally of the Zhou royal family, and the use of the six Xuan gifts can also be understood as admiring the Great Zhou Wenzhi, and Zhao Bohu is just chanting and chanting, and he does not kneel down, so it cannot be regarded as a folding festival.

Entering the palace gate, Dai Shanxin was annoyed, and entered the temple from the middle gate. Zhao Bohu bowed his head and bowed his hand, walked lightly into the hall from the right door, bowed deeply to the hall, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Uncle looks up." There was a loud sound in the hall, and there was a buzzing resonance.

Only then did Zhao Bohu shout: "Ho Jing summons the tiger, and I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to see Guzhu Jun." Raising his head, he couldn't help but be stunned—on the jade steps sat a monarch in magnificent clothes, tall and tall, with a curled sideburns and a large beard that fluffed up to the neck and chest, making the big bronze face look like a god. What's even more peculiar is that there is a naked long sword on the big case in front of him, and the tip of the sword is pointing directly to the left of the hall.

"Uncle is proficient in the "Zhou Li", he must know the laws of this king, right?" Lone Zhujun knocked on the left and right two jade tables.

"This is an ancient rite: the god seat is set to the right, and the person seat is set to the left."

"What is the etiquette of this king's naked left-facing long sword?"

Zhao Bohu raised his head slightly: "The foreign minister speculates, it must be pointing to the grassland Zhurong."

Gu Zhujun suddenly burst into laughter: "Summoning Mu Gong is really capable of being a minister, take a seat!"

Zhao Bohu sat down calmly, smiling, like a polite gentleman at a ceremonial banquet, and bowed his hand to Guzhujun: "Since the monarch intends to pacify the grassland Zhurong, the tiger can help the monarch."

Gu Zhujun sneered: "Everyone in the world knows that the summoning of Mu Gongnai is the abandoned minister of the Zhou family, how can he help this king?"

Zhao Bohu was not angry, and smiled leisurely: "This person is also cloudy, the envoy sent by the Son of Heaven is true, and when the tiger returns to Beijing to resume his life, everything will be revealed." Why should the king be in a hurry to determine whether the tiger has abandoned his ministers or not?"

"Oh, then I want to hear what the prince thinks?" Gu Zhujun raised his eyebrows and said.

"The current situation in the grassland, the vitality of the East Lynx is greatly damaged, and Zhu Rong seems to have the intention of defending the end of the alliance as the leader of the alliance. Therefore, I am afraid that there will be a battle between Donglu and Wuji, and if the king can make good use of this opportunity, he can at least give Guzhu a chance to recuperate for ten years. When the wings are full, it is not difficult to dominate the Northland."

The heart of the monarch of the lonely bamboo country was opened. Actually, he

He wasn't the kind of tough monarch, otherwise he wouldn't have had a reputation for being "weak" outside. However, this time Zhurong besieged the city, if it weren't for Kui Duoyou who led the army in time, the lonely bamboo would have destroyed the country and the clan. After learning from the pain, now he always wants to establish himself as a powerful monarch to comfort the doubts of the country. Therefore, it is necessary to engage in such a Six Xuan ceremony, especially to leave the impression of a strong monarch to outsiders.

In fact, he is weak-hearted, don't say that he pacified Zhurong, and those grassland robbers didn't come to him for trouble, thank God. Therefore, Zhao Bohu's words hit his heart, but he was not too happy on the face, so he had to respond with a smile: "If Zhao Gong can really do it, it will really be a blessing for the people of the North."

After finishing the conversation, Zhao Bohu raised his lamp and took a sip of hot tea to show his gratitude to the master, and said with a smile: "Although the tiger was ordered by the king to patrol the north, he brought a treasure that may be beneficial to Mrs. Tai's condition."

Gu Zhujun's eyes flashed, and he doubted: "Zhao Xiang is far away in Haojing, but he can inform his mother and wife of her illness, and you really don't know anything thousands of miles away without going out."

"Don't be careful, this thing was originally a tribute medicine for the Marquis of Qi in the past. Before the minister left, the Son of Heaven specially gave this sea medicine to the tiger, just because he heard that the lone bamboo monarch was filial piety, and he was deeply moved."

Zhao Bohu waved his hand, and Boyan at the door of the hall walked in with a copper box more than two feet high. Gu Zhujun smiled slightly: "Mrs. Mother's illness has been delayed for many days, whether it is useful or not, you might as well give it a try. Would the royal envoy go to his mother's palace to test the medicine?"

"I can't ask for it."

The group got up and headed for the harem. Zhao Bohu and Boyan glanced at each other, and followed behind Guzhujun and Dai Shan.

Yesterday, Zhao Bohu and Boyan finished discussing business and were waiting to return to the house. Boyan suddenly took out this copper box and said that it was a gift from the black-clothed masked woman last night: "This woman said that she was the personal maid of Mrs. Weihou, and she was ordered by the princess to give a magic medicine to help Xiangye."

"Lady Weihou?" Zhao Bohu instantly understood: "It must be aimed at Princess Guzhu to get rid of a strong rival in the palace."
