Chapter 9: Ask the General to Send Troops to Guard!
After listening to the agreement reached between Wang Pu and Wu Yizhi, Zhao Yu closed his eyes and thought about it, and the little finger of his left hand rhythmically tapped the table.
This is a habit he has developed in his previous life, and he has also been brought over.
Wang Pu didn't urge, and drank tea quietly on the side.
Fang Cai's quarrel with Wu Yizhi really cost him a lot of effort.
Because the general's side occupied an absolute advantage, which made him almost wear out his mouth, he won a few favorable conditions for Zhao Yu's side.
The content of the agreement is also very simple.
Huang Jingming, the general of the auxiliary state, tried his best to push Zhao Yu to the throne of the emperor, whether it was from the court or the queen mother, it was all solved by the general's side, and Zhao Yu didn't have to bother with anything.
But in return, first of all, Zhao Yu, who became the emperor, wanted to give Huang Jingming, an auxiliary general, the title of prince and the governor of the Chinese and foreign military as a reward for his merits; secondly, everyone under Huang Jingming needs to be promoted; In the end, Zhao Yu needed to marry Huang Jingming's daughter Huang Zixin as the imperial concubine.
The governor of the Chinese and foreign military is the president's Praetorian Guard and the local army, and is the supreme military commander of the whole country, with great power. Although Huang Jingming was entrusted by the first emperor as an auxiliary general, the twelve battalions stationed in Kyoto Prefecture and Shenjing City, as well as the Praetorian Guards guarding Miyagi, were not within his command.
Now that he has the position of governor of the Chinese and foreign military, Huang Jingming can naturally extend his hand to the Praetorian Guard.
"Not even the Queen?"
Zhao Yu opened his eyes and asked this sentence.
"Master Hou, then Wu Yizhi originally had this plan, but he was rejected by Weichen."
didn't care too much about the change in Wang Pu's title, but Zhao Yu became curious about the reason for Wang Pu's refusal.
"Weichen said to Mr. Wu that the Hou Ye had made an oath in front of the old Hou Ye's tomb that he would never marry a wife if he did not find out the murderer of the old Hou Ye and others."
After listening to Wang Pu's reason, Zhao Yu became even more curious.
"Then Wu Yizhi is also a talented person, he won't be fooled by you so easily, 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, and he can use it when he should use it, and he can throw it away when he wants to.
Wang Pu smiled and said:
"Naturally not, in fact, what moved Wei Chen was that all the officials under the command of the general were promoted by two ranks, and Mr. Wu himself received an additional reward of 1,000 gold. Of course, Weichen also assured him that Master Hou would never set up another queen before you avenged your father. The three-pronged approach made Mr. Wu relieved. ”
"Mr. Wang has done this very well."
Zhao Yu nodded.
It can be said that if there is no mediation from Wang Pu, Huang Jingming, as a powerful minister, wants to make his daughter the queen, then he, who is almost a puppet emperor, will pinch his nose and agree.
Therefore, taking a step back and sealing Huang Jingming's daughter as the imperial concubine, this is acceptable for Zhao Yu.
In this way, if he really overthrows this powerful minister in the future, he will no longer have to go through the process of "abolishing the queen".
"Master Hou, Weichen was afraid that something would happen on the way into Beijing, so he specially asked Mr. Wu to send a cavalry army from the general to protect Lord Hou's safety."
Wang Pu added at the end of the sentence.
"Sir, do you think there will be an accident on the way to Beijing?"
Facing Zhao Yu's doubts, Wang Pu nodded.
Zhao Yu still recognized Wang Pu's judgment, and called Zhang Xiu in at the moment.
"Youwei, how are the guards training now?"
Zhang Xiu's face showed a hint of shame, and he bowed his head and said:
"Embroidered with the trust of the Hou Ye, these days, only about fifty elite players have been trained."
"How does it compare to the Assassins of the day?"
The only ones Zhao Yu can use as a reference now are those assassins.
"It's only a cut ahead of those assassins, barely able to defeat two against three."
Speaking of which, Zhang Xiu's head lowered even lower.
According to his thoughts, the strength of these guards was simply not up to the standard in his heart.
Not to mention the benchmarking of the Flying Bear Army, at least half of the strength of the Flying Bear Army, and only then can he be worthy of the grace of the Hou Ye. However, the strength of this group of guys is at most one-third that of the Flying Bears.
Since he began to take over the palace guards, the Hou Ye asked for people to give people and money to money, and he never hesitated to agree to his request. As a result, he practiced so many crooked melons and cracked dates.
This made Zhang Xiu feel extremely guilty in his heart, and felt that he had failed Zhao Yu's attention to him.
These fifty elite guards, plus ordinary soldiers and 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 be wrong about what he meant, but Zhao Yu didn't say it, but got up and patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder, and said warmly:
"Youwei has been really hard these days. After all, the time is still short, and being able to train the guards in the house to this level shows Youwei's intentions. This is not Youwei's fault, but it is Benhou's fault. ”
After hearing Zhao Yu's words, Zhang Xiu's eyes suddenly moistened, and he secretly made up his mind that he must raise the strength of these guards in the shortest possible time.
[Ding, Zhang Xiu's loyalty +7, intimacy +300!] 】
Yes, this goal will definitely be achieved within a year.
Glancing at the system prompt, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
finally increased Zhang Xiu's loyalty 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 in the chair and said to Wang Pu with a smile.
At this point in time, some things also need to be confessed to Zhang Xiu.
???
Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Zhang Xiu, who was full of question marks, set his eyes on Wang Pu on the side.
"Brother Youwei, here's how it ......"
Wang Pu explained the ins and outs of it in detail with Zhang Xiu, and added another sentence apologetically to Zhao Yu.
"Ben Hou and Mr. Wen Bo didn't tell Youwei about this matter, because the matter is very important, and I ask Youwei to understand."
In Zhao Yu's heart, Wang Pu and Zhang Xiu are the only people who can be trusted and can be used under his command, and this kind of thing is indeed a bit ...... Not authentic.
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Xiu heard this, he hugged his fists and said:
"Master Hou's words are ridiculous. Don't you hear that 'if the king does not secret, he loses his minister, if the minister does not secret, he loses his body, and if he does not secret, he will become harmful'? This matter is related to the life of the Hou Ye, how can you ignore it, you must be cautious! Youwei, ah no, Weichen didn't have the slightest complaint in his heart. ”
"Youwei's words won my heart." Zhao Yu nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xiu is a young man after all, and after admonishing him, he asked with a little excitement:
"Then can Youwei be worthy of His Majesty now?"
Unexpectedly, before Zhang Xiu's words fell, Wang Pu, who was originally sitting on the side, suddenly changed his face.
"Youwei, be cautious, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth!"
"What do you mean, sir?" Zhang Xiu's voice was slightly dissatisfied.
Although he has a lot of respect for Wang Pu, the other party scolded himself in front of the Hou Ye, ah no, His Majesty, and didn't give himself face, which made Zhang Xiu a little unhappy in his heart.
If you really want to talk about it, he knows His Majesty a few hours earlier than Wang Pu!
