Two hundred and twelve the invitation of the Hou of E

As the Autumn Festival approached, the carriages and horses in Haojing were noisy, and it became more lively day by day. The convoys of princes and territorial monarchs who came from all directions rushed into the city like a tide, and the inn could no longer be able to stay. Some of the later princes, some of them lived in the Duke of Zhou's mansion, such as Duke Lu, lived in Duke Zhou's mansion. Needless to say, Duke Yan naturally returned to the mansion of his brother Zhao Bohu. There were also those who had mansions in Haojing, such as Duke Guo and Duke Yu, who had returned to the mansion to live. In addition, they could only enter high-end inns and trading houses in the Duke of Haojing.

Just at night, a group of people entered the copper storefront of the big trading house on the west side of the royal city. The guy carried a wind lamp and walked diligently before the horse team. He pointed to the large pool not far away and said, "There are small courtyards there, all the passengers in the club. If you don't make an appointment in advance, you will have no place to have money. Those rows of big houses are the favorites for past business trips and scholars to visit. They are full every day on weekdays. If the female official in the palace came to book half a month in advance, this courtyard would not have been left for you."

E Yufang nodded and asked, "Is that yard the best yard?"

"That's all right, it's the best." The guy patted his chest and promised, "You're satisfied with it."

There are four small courtyards beside the pool lined up along the lake. In front of each courtyard are two big wind lamps and a solemn old servant. Compared with the noise around, it is a completely different world. The guy smiled and pointed: "This is the precious guest house of our company. It is the closest and most convenient to get to the breech, horse shed and car park."

"I'm sorry," E Yufang seemed a little impatient: "Those hospitality names are spared, I just want to sprinkle food in each case."

The guy said he knew, so he left lightly.

After a while, the guy led two maids in and neatly arranged the food case. One case was a big dish and a jar of rice wine. Four large cauldrons were steaming and the aroma was filled with hot steam, and all the essence was clearly visible.

Seeing this, E Yufang was very happy and greeted the mate and said, "How about drinking together?"

The guy quickly shook his hand: "Xiaoke can speak with the Marquis, but he dare not accompany him to eat and drink. The trading company rules are like this. First release update @         "

E Yufang stopped talking and started eating immediately, making a loud chewing sound. In just a moment, four large cauldrons and fish, sheep, chickens, deer and a plate of white flour cake were swept away. The guy was stunned: "Mr. Marquis is really a brave man! He has a good appetite."

After drinking and eating, E Yufang stood up shakingly and waved, "I'll go back to my room and fall asleep!"

The guy quickly supported him: "Mr. Marquis, sleeping in a dull way will hurt your body. The young man said that it would be better to take advantage of the moonlight to float in the pool for a while and come back to sleep again. We will ensure that you will be more energetic tomorrow."

"What you said is reasonable." E Yufang waved his sleeves: "Lead ahead!"

The guy giggled and helped E Yufang go out. When the old servant at the door saw it, he immediately strode to the edge of the pond and ordered: "Be prepared for the boat, E Hou is drunk and enjoys traveling to the pond."

But when he heard the answer from the pool, two wind lights on the bow of the boat immediately lit up. The old servant turned around and the guy helped E Yufang to the shore. The pond was made of stone strips, and a three-foot-wide stone staircase led directly to the water surface, just to catch the bow of the boat, which was much more convenient than an ordinary bridge.

E Yufang couldn't help but sigh, after all, it was the capital of Haojing, and even the trading company had a unique charm than others. He was about to push away the clerk and board the boat alone, but the clerk smiled and waved his hand. He walked out of the boat. He came up without saying anything and held his arm around his waist, and helped E Yufang steadily to the bow of the boat. He was barely standing, and the boat was wandering slowly, so stable that people didn't notice it at all.

The bow of the boat is particularly spacious, accounting for almost half of the hull. The boards are bright and shiny. There is a thick felt in the middle and a large table is placed. There is a wall of more than one foot high on three sides. It is clearly a comfortable open-air banquet room, which is more graceful than the black-topped cliffs on the water.

While looking at it, the maid had already brought a mahogany barrel and three large pottery bowls. E Yufang laughed and said, "Old wine is wonderful to the bright moon!"

The maid whispered, "Mr. Marquis, this is not wine, it is a wine girl, which is specially designed for sobering up."

E Yufang raised a bowl of gushing and drank it in a series of three bowls. It was indeed sweet, cool and refreshing, as if a ray of autumn wind was blowing between the internal organs, and every pore inside and outside the body was comfortable and transparent.

"Indeed, I have drunk three big bowls and sobered up a lot. What's your name?" E Yufang held the big case and turned his eyes to the maid, with a long and profound look.

"Hou.(This chapter is not finished!)

Two hundred and twenty-two                                                            

Master, my name is Uncle and Sister." The maid looked up and whispered: "It's Empress Wang Wei's personal maid-----"

"Well, whisper-----" The sound of pole-holding and water came from the stern of the boat. E Yufang looked at him with caution. Uncle Wang said respectfully: "Don't worry, Marquis, the Empress Dowager has been in the palace for many years, and there are not no arrangements outside. This boatman is also reliable. What does the marquis have to give but it is okay to say it."

E Yufang then asked, "How is the Empress thinking about that?"

"When I heard that the Marquis had arrived in person, the Empress was so happy that she was in the deep palace and could not act on her own. She specially sent a maid to inform her. The Empress said that since she was so arrogant that she had not brought any benefits to her clan members, it was a burden to her family for fear of her. The Marquis had asked her and did not frown even if she died. But-------" She glanced at E Yufang, licked her lips and said, "If the Second Prince stayed by the Empress, she would inevitably be distracted and could not do her best. Please ask the Marquis to try to take her away from Haojing."

"What?" E Yufang raised his eyebrows: "The Empress really treats that little boy as his biological child? Humph! Well, tell the Empress, I will ask for a report from the court, and send the Second Prince to Jinghan as the governor?"

"Thank you, Marquis." Uncle Kowtow kowtowed and said, "Mr. Marquis, the lord of the lords---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is not a matter of worrying about the Empress. We all get what we need, so what are the concerns?"

"The Marquis is the master of the matter. The Empress has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I hope everything goes well with her brothers and their clan members."

In fact, because King Li of Zhou was not as old as he was in power, the main hall of the Haojing Palace was rarely opened. Ordinary small dynasties were mostly held in two relatively comfortable side halls, east and west. Except for the Spring and Autumn Festival, there was almost never any court meetings held in this main hall. Many new ministers had never entered this royal temple with the highest power after one or two years of office.

Today, when the princes and ministers stepped on thick red felt, walked up the high 36-level white jade steps, passed through four huge copper tripods with green smoke curling on the hall, and walked into the main palace with high and high utensils, the solemn and solemn atmosphere immediately overwhelmed everyone.

Above the ninth-level king steps, a large white jade screen that was nine feet tall, with a strange black and unique unicorn magic beast staring at the protruding leopard eyes, high above, staring at every minister. A bronze throne in front of the screen was wider than a foot, with faint light. Two large tripods below the steps were curling with blue smoke. Six feet away from the front of the tripod, fifteen bronze tables were placed in a triangular shape with the mouth facing the throne at the hem of the towering stone pillars. There were a bronze medal engraved with the title of the marquis on the left corner of each table.

There were more than 40 princes from all walks of life who came to participate in the Autumn Dynasty. Not every one was qualified to sit in the bronze case of the main hall. According to the rules, only princes who had a title of more than marquis and were close relatives or in-laws of the King of Zhou could be famous on the card.

In addition to the Wang case, there was another bronze case in the east and west, with a refined parchment paper in the heart of the case, a stone inkstone, and a jade pen. Next to the case, a large burning furnace that was burned red and smokeless was reflected red by Zhao Bohu's handsome and solemn face. This was a case, which just perfectly reflected his status as "below one person, above ten thousand people".

"The king is here--" The eunuch Jia quickly walked out of the back of the screen and stood on the king's platform and shouted a long cry.

"I've seen the king!" The princes and the ministers bowed neatly.

Ji Hu flashed out a white jade screen, today he was full of crowns, wearing a tassel scale crown, a vermilion robe with twinkle and shining gold wire, and a soft armor inside, and a long sword hanging on his waist. His awe-inspiring aura made people dare not look up.

"Please take your seat." Ji Hu bowed slightly to Zhao Bohu, waved his hand, and sat in the king's case.

When everyone was in the case, E Yufang stepped forward and reported: "Report to the King, Zhao Gong, our country of Hubei has not yet arrived since it moved north. @美国\/官网·安全公司~~ On this occasion of visiting, I asked the Zhou Dynasty to send a royal supervisor to show my friendship."

"Oh?" Zhao Bohu was a little surprised, and his index finger tapped the chopping board lightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is suitable for him according to the views of Ehou?"

"I ask the second prince Shangfu to come to the Kingdom of E, and I am very grateful."

E Yufang asked for a message, and both the young emperor Ji Hu and Zhao Bohu were very surprised. In fact, they were deeply afraid and guarded against any of E Yufang's actions due to the subtle relationship between the E Kingdom and the Zhou royal family. However, no one expected that E Yufang would directly propose the Second Prince Ji Shang. (This chapter is not finished!)

The father was chosen as a candidate, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was E Wei's adopted son. He put the act of forming cliques and making personal gains in public, which made people not know how to deal with it.

"The second prince is still in his old age, and his childish son cannot leave his brother to take care of him. How can he take on the important task of governing the country? The request of Ehou is afraid that he will not be careful." After all, Ji Hu was young, so Zhao Bohu thought of a sufficient reason to refuse.

Unexpectedly, E Yufang refused to give in and bowed again, "Great King, please listen to my words. Shang Father is not comparable to other princes. His biological mother Ji Jiang and Queen Fan Ji are all known to everyone. Ji Jiang has been sentenced to death by the previous king, and the king has arrived. He raised the third prince and Zhongji who lost his mother alone with the elder brother, and only the second prince was careless in the palace of Shemei. This - the two princes are embarrassed. If they stay in the palace for a long time, they will be even more unfavorable to the king and the second prince. Shemei is the queen mother and is also unfavorable to the queen mother. @美宝\/Shuge Pavilion·Wuwuzhu~~ It is better to let me take him to the Kingdom of E, which is convenient for two times."
