After finalizing the strategy for the coming year, Zhang Xiu relaxed physically and mentally and had fun outside with his wives for three days before returning to the palace.
Jingwang Palace.
After eight months, a tall and spacious palace was built outside the original palace. The buildings in the palace are intertwined and the corridors are winding. It is very majestic. Although it is not magnificent, it is full of style.
After discussions with Jia Xu and other important ministers, and with Zhang Xiu's approval, it was decided to organize the harem according to the system of one king and nine concubines.
Yiwang refers to the princess.
The princess is in charge of all arrangements in the harem and is the head of the harem.
Jiu Fei refers to the nine side concubines.
According to Zhang Xiu's idea, ten princesses were originally supposed to be established to balance their rights and not to disrupt the friendship of the harem because of these things. But Jia Xu and others insisted on establishing a princess to take charge of the harem.
Finally, it was decided to establish one king and nine concubines.
The princess is naturally Huang Yueying. The nine concubines are: Bu Lianshi, Liu Rui, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Ma Yunlu, Cai Wenji. There are also three concubines whose positions are vacant and will be filled later.
At the same time, in order to prevent future heirlooms, the eldest son Zhang Biao was appointed as the heir apparent and trained as his successor. Let Jia Xu, Liu Ye and Li Ru be teachers, and Ma Chao be the prince's martial arts master.
With such a strong background as support, coupled with Zhang Xiu's careful guidance and training, I believe that in the near future, he will be a ruler with both civil and military skills.
In the palace.
Zhang Xiu finished handling the official affairs that had piled up in the past few days and began to carefully study Zhao Yun's own unique skill: the Seven Exploration Snake Spear.
The Seven Exploration Coiling Snake Spear is a spear technique independently developed by Zhao Yun based on the Hundred Birds Chao Feng Spear. It was learned from the moves of the Hundred Birds Chao Feng Spear. The spear skills are divided into Seven Exploration and Coiling Snake.
The seven killing moves of Qitan are the attack methods, which are: first, explore the clear water like a swimming fish, secondly, explore the grassland like a green snake, thirdly explore the woods, like a monkey, fourthly explore the deep mountains, like a tiger and leopard, fifthly explore the floating clouds, like an eagle, and sixthly explore the blue sky. You are like a flying immortal, exploring the Heavenly Palace seven times with Hou Yi’s arrows.
Coiling Snake is a fast-moving gun that makes it look like a snake that is constantly circling. The rapid rotation of its gun forms an airtight defensive move, which is a technical spear skill.
"Zhao Yun is really the king of spears!"
After watching the unique skill of the Seven Exploration Snake Spear sent by Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but praise his little junior brother.
Being able to outperform others in the skills of Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear shows that Zhao Yun is simply a genius when it comes to practicing dance, and there is no doubt about his own strength.
Standing in the courtyard, Zhang Xiu was shirtless, showing off his majestic figure. Viewed from behind, his shoulders were extremely wide, and his waist looked extremely small when tied up with a belt. His legs were as hard as iron pillars with exposed veins. It is a typical tiger-armed wasp-waisted mantis leg.
Holding the tiger-headed golden gun, he closed his eyes and went through the Seven Snake Snake Guns in his mind. Immediately, a flash of light flashed in his eyes that suddenly opened, and the spear danced and whistled continuously.
With the foundation of Bainiaochaofengqiang, it is not very difficult to practice the Seven Exploration Snake Spear. According to the experience written by Zhao Yun, it will be smoother to practice and get twice the result with half the effort.
In the courtyard, howling sounds were heard as the spears were swung, and the marksmanship was majestic and powerful, demonstrating Zhang Xiu's strong strength and exquisite spear skills.
An hour.
The whistling in the courtyard stopped, steam was steaming from Zhang Xiu's head, and his naked upper body was sweating like rain. Under the sunlight, it emitted a dazzling luster, his muscles bulged, and his veins popped out.
"Hoo~"
He took a deep breath, put the gun on the gun stand, and turned around to see a maid holding a copper basin and towel walking over to wait for him. I wiped the sweat from my head and body and put on my clothes.
At this time, Zhang Qian walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a civilian girl outside the door asking to see you. She claims to be the daughter of Marquis Wen Lu Bu."
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, "Lü Bu's daughter?"
Then he remembered that when Zhang Liao and Gao Shun came to surrender, they brought a girl with them, saying that she was Lu Bu's daughter. I was busy with other things at that time, so I arranged for her to live in a courtyard outside and provide her with daily food and accommodation. As time went by, I forgot about it.
"Let her in."
It took such a long time to come to see him. It seems that Lu Bu's daughter, like Ma Yunlu, is a fierce woman. The purpose of coming to see him this time is probably to avenge her father's murder.
Zhang Qian went out.
Not long after, Zhang Qian came in again, followed by a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. Zhang Xiu looked around and saw that this girl was slim and tall among women. She was about 1.72 meters tall. She had been growing up since she was a child. She is pampered and her complexion is white and smooth, especially her hair, which is thick, dark and soft.
Lu Linglong came forward, knelt down and said, "People's daughter Lu Linglong, please pay your respects to Prince Jing."
"Are you Lu Bu's daughter?"
After looking at it for a moment, Zhang Xiu withdrew his gaze and spoke in a calm voice.
"Yes." Lu Linglong's voice was clear, sweet and crisp.
"What do you need from me?" Zhang Xiu's voice was still calm, and he waved his hand to signal Zhang Qian to retreat.
He had already anticipated Lu Linglong's purpose for looking for him, but he wanted to see what the other party wanted from him. If he still resorted to sacrificing himself, he would disappoint her.
Lu Linglong's voice was clear and powerful: "Your Majesty, although I am a woman, I also know loyalty and benevolence. When the prince was wandering around Wancheng, Cao Cao stole a plane to attack Nanyang. At that time, my father had an alliance with the prince and sent troops to burn Yanzhou's grain and grass, forcing Cao Cao to retreat. Although the prince defeated Cao Cao head-on, my father also worked hard." At this point, she stopped and waited for Zhang Xiu to recall what happened back then.
Recalling that Lu Bu burned Yanzhou, it really helped him a lot. However, when Lu Bu was in the most difficult time, Cao Cao, the Huns and Yuan Shao's army were attacking Guanzhong, but they did not help Lu Bu.
In other words, if Zhang Xiu could help at that time, Lu Bu would definitely not have died.
Lu Linglong secretly raised her eyebrows, revealing a pair of bright eyes. Seeing Zhang Xiu sinking into memories, she continued: "Now that my father has been killed by Liu Bei, the daughter of the people asks the prince to help the people because of the covenant. To avenge my father, I am willing to work for the prince, no matter what."
Speaking of this, Lu Linglong shed tears.
Hearing Lu Linglong's sobbing, Zhang Xiu breathed out slowly, turned around and walked over, helped her to the chair next to her, and said: "Back then, due to the tight war situation, I was too busy to help Wen Hou overcome the difficulties. Marquis Wen was so kind to me back then, how can I forget it? Even if you don't come today, I will send troops to destroy Liu Bei and avenge Marquis Wen."
Lu Linglong cried bitterly and knelt down on the ground again: "My daughter, thank you so much for your grace!"
Zhang Xiu helped her up again, "But this matter cannot be rushed. Liu Bei's strength cannot be underestimated. Don't be too impatient. Coming from Xuzhou far away and having no friends is a hardship for you. Let's do this. If you are bored in the future, You can go into the palace to play with the sisters in the harem, and you can come and go freely inside and outside the palace."
Lu Linglong knew that Zhang Xiu had appointed a king and nine concubines, and there were still three vacancies for the concubines.
His face turned slightly red and he nodded.
