Chapter 42 41. You disguise yourself, he visits privately

"Oh, oh," Wang Quan didn't know how to react for a moment. Should he pretend that he didn't know this was Prince Wu? Or should he bow his head and salute like an ordinary person?

She had no choice but to fall to the ground and said, "Wang Xin, the little man, come to see His Highness the Crown Prince!" This time when he left the capital, Wang Ao borrowed the name of his brother Wang Xin.

"Brother Wang, please get up! Please get up!" Liu Ju did not show the arrogance of a superior person and hurriedly helped her get up.

"I am paying a private visit incognito," Liu Ju said with a smile, "Brother Wang is a rare genius in this world! We fell in love at first sight, and we have become brothers with different surnames. From now on, Brother Wang does not have to pay this courtesy!"

Wang Quan still said coyly: "I don't dare, I don't dare! The prince is the king, and the villain is the people, how can he overstep his bounds?"

"If there are other people, Brother Wang can follow the etiquette. If it's between you and me, Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite. Wouldn't it be beautiful for you and I to write poems and books together, sleep together and travel together?" Liu Ju looked fascinated.

.

Sleeping with your hands full?! Damn you, you big-headed devil! Do you have a tendency to break your back?

"The villain has a master to serve, so I might not be able to follow the prince..." Wang Quan declined.

"Brother Wang, how much do you have to do to be a retainer? I am five times as good as you. My retainers are not as good as a retainer?"

Liu Ju looked determined to win, "Look at your master, he is also a generous man, with excellent martial arts skills. If he is interested, I can recommend him to my father to become an official."

"This..." Wang Quan laughed a few times, "I still need to ask the owner."

Someone set up a cup of tea with fruits. Liu Ju held hands with Wang Quan and sat by the window. He looked at the ships passing by and sighed: "There are thousands of people, so I meet you, such a beautiful young man! What a fate! Brother Wang, how can you get down?"

chess?"

Liubo chess, your brother, Prince Liu Xian of the Kingdom of Wu, was killed by my husband with a chessboard! You don’t have any psychological shadow?

Wang Quan thought and shook his head. She can only play checkers and backgammon, which is different from the current chess skills.

"Brother Wang said that day in the tavern, what is green and what is beautiful when making tofu? Can you tell me about it?" Liu Ju asked curiously.

"The villain is talking nonsense! The prince is laughing!"

Wang Quan thought, you can’t understand potassium chloride, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride. Do you want me to popularize science for you and write down the molecular formula? I am a science popularizer, and I participated in the Science Popularization Competition of the Pharmaceutical Association.

Won the short video award.

"Brother Wang, how about you and I drinking and having fun? On that day in the tavern, Brother Wang was so drunk! He sang and danced like a fairy. I have a servant who is good at playing the harp, so I asked him to help me drink..."

"No, no, no," Wang Quan waved his hand, "The prince likes poetry, but the villain only needs to show his ugliness."

Drinking? Stop drinking! Zhidu's eyesore made her frightened. She can no longer make a fool of herself by drinking when she goes out!

"Let me recite a poem!

A boat full of autumn colors,

The light spreads across ten miles of lake.

The God of Waves left me to watch the setting sun,

Let go of fine waves.

The wind will return better tomorrow,

It's okay to sleep out tonight.

Playing neon clothes in the Crystal Palace,

It’s almost like Yueyang Tower.”

"This boat is sailing on the water, it is really a scene! What a poem!" Liu Ju praised, "Where is the Yueyang Tower?"

"Yueyang Tower... is naturally located in Yueyang... Changsha Kingdom..." Wang Quan was speechless.

"Changsha Kingdom?" Liu Ju paused, "If Brother Wang likes it, why don't we travel together?"

Wang Quan wanted to slap his head. His IQ was not online, and Liu Ju's IQ was also worrying. A poem written by a later generation actually made Prince Wu want to leave the country for a trip? Where can he find Yueyang Tower?

"Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time for me to say goodbye." Wang Quan was about to leave.

"Brother Wang, how about staying here for the night? I'll ask my entourage to send a message to your master..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness! I don't dare. Firstly, the master needs to serve, and secondly, I cannot sleep well and can only live in a quiet room alone, otherwise I will get sick due to lack of sleep." Wang Quan made excuses to refuse.

Liu Ju couldn't force him to stay, so he reluctantly said, "I'll wait for you when Brother Wang comes again tomorrow."

Wang Quan smiled and saluted: "That's natural. I will come early tomorrow morning to attend the prince's appointment."

When Wang Quan, Ji Bu, and Zhi returned to their ship, they all talked about their sworn sworn relationship with Liu Ju, and Ji Bu burst into laughter.

"This is nothing!" Ji Bu said, "So what if he is Prince Wu? His father and the emperor are cousins!"

"Prince Wu and his son have always loved to recruit talents. Liu Ju and Prince Wang are sworn sworn friends, which is also their usual style, trying to win people's hearts." Zhi Du said.

"I thought that there were many rich and noble families in Wu, and it was not surprising that Gong Ziju's appearance was unexpected. I didn't expect that it was Prince Wu! When we go to the Wu Palace to announce the decree, will Liu Ju fall out? Think I lied to him?" Wang Quan

A little uneasy.

"You disguised yourself, and he paid a private visit. You hid your identity. So what if you lied to him? If he asks about General Ji's swordsmanship, he won't know anything about it. He is still used to it in his own land!" Zhi Du comforted.

"Prince Wu and his son have not invited anyone to the court for more than ten years. They have always sent envoys to the court. Naturally, they are alienated from the court. They are so arrogant that they don't care about anyone else." Ji Bu sneered.

"Then Liu Ju wants to ask me to be his retainer, and he also wants to recommend General Ji to the King of Wu to serve as an official in the court." After saying this, Wang Quan laughed and said, "I praise General Ji for his martial arts!"

"Haha," Ji Bu stroked his beard and laughed, "When we get to Guangling and the imperial edict comes out, let's see if he dares to take care of his yellow-tongued child! The prince will still get along with him as a commoner."

The two ships traveled for two days. Early every morning, Liu Ju sent someone to invite Wang Quan to his ship. The two recited poems and compared each other, and Wang Quan also taught him how to use "scissors, rock, and paper" to make wine orders.

Bao Zhao, a poet and poet, described Yangzhou under the rule of King Wu in "Wucheng Fu", "In the past, when it was in its heyday, books were hung on cars, people rode on their shoulders, dust fell on the ground, and songs and music filled the sky."

Guangling, also known as Yangzhou, Jiangdu and Weiyang. It is known as "the famous capital of Huaizuo and the best place in Zhuxi" and enjoys the reputation of "the first canal city in China".

After the two teams land, they will go their separate ways.

"The master has important matters, and the villain needs to follow him. Accepting money from others is a matter of loyalty. I bid farewell to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang Quan said goodbye to Liu Ju.

"Brother Wang," Liu Ju held Wang Quan's hand and reluctantly said, "You just follow the master to do things. In three days, how about you and I making an appointment at Yunfu Tower?"

"Okay!" Wang Quan agreed.

Yunfu Tower? I’m afraid you want to go to Qixun Tower!

Ji Bu and his party went to the inn to rest and change clothes. Naturally, the ship was not as good as on land. They tensed up their nerves all the way, but when they arrived at the inn, everyone relaxed a little.

Ji Bu ordered Yi Cheng to block the news first, but someone had already informed Wu Prime Minister Yuan An.

Yuan Ang was a native of Chu, and later moved to Anling. During the period of Empress Lu, Yuan Ang became Lu Lu's retainer. After Emperor Wen of Han came to the throne, his brother Yuan Kuai recommended him and was appointed Zhonglang. Because of his many outspoken advices

, unable to stay in the capital for long, he was transferred to the post of Captain of Longxi. Later, he was transferred to the state of Qi as the prime minister. Soon, he was transferred to the state of Wu as the prime minister.

Yuan An and Ji Bu were both from the Chu region, and they were close friends with Ji Bu's brother Ji Xin.

That year, the former imperial censor Zhang Cang was promoted to prime minister, leaving a vacancy for the imperial censor. Yuan Ang once recommended Ji Bu to Emperor Wen as the imperial censor.

The position of the imperial censor is an offending official position, responsible for supervising all officials. In other words, the person who serves as the censor must be fair and impartial in order to handle the work in this position fairly. If you

If you don’t understand clearly, how can you manage others?

And Ji Bu has always been a person with a strong sense of justice and loves to fight against injustice. There is even a saying: "It is better to get Ji Bu's promise than to get a hundred catties of gold", which is an allusion to the idiom "a promise of a thousand gold". Emperor Wen should

It was because of this that he considered making Ji Bu the imperial censor.

At this time, someone said bad things about Ji Bu to Emperor Wen. That is, Ji Bu liked to drink and was difficult for others to get close to.

It is difficult for others to approach, which is not a bad thing. After all, the position of the imperial censor is responsible for supervising all officials. Having too many connections is not conducive to work. And drinking alcohol is a weakness. If others use drinking and sex to bribe Ji

Bu, can Ji Bu withstand it?

When others said this, Emperor Wen hesitated. So the matter was put on hold for the time being. Ji Bu stayed at his residence and waited for a month. Emperor Wen only said that he was more interested in the importance of Hedong County, so he summoned him.

He had no choice but to return to the post of governor of Hedong County.

Therefore, as soon as Yuan Yuan got the news, he rushed to the inn to meet him.

Ji Bu's appointment as imperial envoy to the capital this time was recommended by Prince Liu Qi. First, Ji Bu was well-known in Wu and Chu and had a deterrent effect on the King of Wu; second, General Ji was upright and loyal and did not hide his personal interests.

Prince Liangdi, the Crown Prince, transformed into a follower and accompanied General Ji.

"Brother Ji has come all the way and I would like to invite him to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet him. Why did Brother Ji decline?" As soon as Yuan An saw Ji Bu, he patted his shoulder affectionately.

Ji Bu smiled and said, "I have official duties, so it's not convenient for me to give or receive privately." After saying this, he bowed and left Yuan Ang in the dark.

Ji Bu politely walked to the reception room, both of them were a little reserved.

"Xiang Yuan, how are you doing in Wu?" Ji Bu asked.

"Good! Good! Compared with Chu land, it is even more humid! Drink a few cups every day to drive away the dampness. If Brother Ji stays here forever, you and I can often get together and drink together."

Then it’s about who in your family is like that, and who in my family is like that, and the wheels go around and around, and around and around.

Wang Quan knew it was time to leave. Maybe there was something they didn't want him to hear! So he winked at Zhi Du, made a promise and left.

This Yuan Ang has sharp eyebrows, sharp eyesight, eloquent speech, and full of energy. At a glance, you can tell that he is a man who lives in official circles, and is bold on the outside but restrained on the inside.

Not long after Wang Quan returned to his room, Yuan Ang left. Ji Bu came to report the details.
