Li You!
The son of the famous Li Si, he was tall and tall, handsome in appearance, and capable of both literary and military skills. When he became an adult, he relied on Li Si's relationship to join the Qin Palace Langwei. After several years of accumulating qualifications, he has now become a Zhonglang household general with a rank higher than a thousand stones.
Moreover, judging from the crown on his head, which symbolizes a senior military officer, Li You's title is at least the fifth doctor.
Zhao Tuo knew that this was by no means the end of Li You.
It won't be long before Li Si, who is still just a long history man, will be transformed into a Tingwei, one of the Nine Qings, and the Li family will soar into the sky and become a hot upstart in the Qin State.
"My subordinate Zhao Tuo has met General Li Hu."
Zhao Tuo hurriedly bowed his hands and looked respectful.
Zhao Tuo?
Li You looked at the humble young man in front of him and recalled his father Li Si's words in his mind.
Zhao Tuo has a smart and intelligent character, has made great achievements on the battlefield, and is favored by the king. He will definitely become a figure like Li Xin in the future. Moreover, he is not a native of Qin, but a visitor from the Six Kingdoms like you and me, so he can be relied upon as an arm. Now that he is under your command, don't neglect him.
Thinking of this, Li You's expression softened and he no longer pursued the noisy matter just now.
He nodded to Zhao Tuo and said, "The rules in the palace are strict. Since you have entered the palace as a man, you must restrain yourself more."
"only."
After that, Li You patiently explained Zhonglang's daily work and precautions to Zhao Tuo.
For example, their daily job is to guard outside the temple and inspect the forbidden areas. You must not sleep when you are on guard duty at night. Even if it is time to rest for a shift, you must not sleep too hard. You must be prepared for sleep at any time. And when King Qin travels, they have to act as bodyguards...
"Thank you General Li Hu for your guidance. I will definitely perform my duties conscientiously."
"Um."
Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben looked at each other in surprise.
This General Li Hu usually does not speak evil words, but he is also very strict in his behavior. They have been in the palace for several years and have never seen Li You talking to anyone like this. As expected, Zhao Tuo has a bright future, and they need to have a good relationship with this junior.
Becoming a prince in the palace is not just about showing off in front of the king and seeking a good future. Another very important benefit is the expansion of interpersonal relationships.
Although Xunzi said when he entered the Qin Dynasty that the officials of the Qin State were "no comparison with others and no cliques", in actual work and life, the shadow of human sophistication was everywhere, and even the aloof King of Qin could not avoid this.
Those who can enter the palace as a husband are either someone like Zhao Tuo who is particularly capable and favored by the king, or they are born into a noble family. No matter which one they are, they will have a bright future in the future, let alone those behind them. The family also has strong energy.
Everyone makes good friends with each other and will be able to go out in the future. With their respective networks, no matter what they do, they can go smoothly, and even if they get promoted, they can be one step ahead of others.
After a while, Li You's lieutenants on duty arrived, and he announced today's Suwei mission.
Because Zhao Tuo was a newcomer, Li You asked him to join Yang Xiong and Zhao Bi's team to perform inspection tasks in the forbidden area, just to get acquainted with the roads inside the Qin Palace.
"Just follow me. I'll take care of it today so you can get familiar with it."
….
After Li You left, Yang Xiong put his arms around Zhao Tuo's shoulders familiarly and spoke enthusiastically.
Zhao Ben next to him had a colder temper, but he also nodded to Zhao Tuo to show his kindness.
The Zhonglang team that patrols the ban is also organized into a team of ten people. Yang Xiong is the leader of this team.
Zhao Tuo knew from the chat just now that Yang Xiong was an eighth-level public servant. He had the same title as him and the highest title among the Zhonglang team.
However, unlike the title that Zhao Tuo earned through his own hard work, Yang Xiong's title was inherited by Aweng after his death.
As for Zhao Bi, he was a seventh-level Duke, but it was not known whether his title came from inheritance or through other means.
After a while, Zhao Tuo, led by Yang Xiong, began to inspect the forbidden area.
The so-called prohibition
The middle is the palace where the king and concubines live. Outsiders are not allowed to enter or exit without an order. It is the core place of the entire Qin Kingdom and is guarded and patrolled day and night by the Zhonglang.
In comparison, the doctor only guards the palace gates and is much less important than the doctor.
Yang Xiong and others have been working as lieutenants for several years. They are very familiar with the roads in the forbidden palace. He introduced which concubine lived in which palace and what was done in which place. He introduced them all to Zhao Tuo in detail.
Zhao Tuo nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He was glad that he was a lieutenant in the palace. The colleagues he met were all kind-hearted people. Even his boss Li Youbu said that he took good care of him, but there was nothing difficult or cliché. Bloody plot.
After several days of guarding in the confinement, Zhao Tuo gradually became familiar with this kind of life as a man.
What made Zhao Tuo uneasy was that Qin Wangzheng's attitude towards him was different from what he thought.
Since he was called Zhonglang, Qin Wangzheng has not summoned him alone again, nor has he taken the initiative to ask him questions, as if he has forgotten Zhao Tuo.
But in fact, it was not the case. When Zhao Tuo was on duty, he met Qin Wangzheng several times. The king also nodded to him with encouragement in his eyes, but the interaction between the two was limited to this.
All this made Zhao Tuo feel itchy, but he had no choice. Qin Wangzheng was like a superior goddess, sometimes casting glances at him, but never letting him make the next move.
On the contrary, Zhao Gao, who often followed Qin Wangzheng, took the initiative to talk to Zhao Tuo several times.
This made Zhao Tuo envious. Zhao Gao's position was the order of the CRRC, and he was not supposed to accompany Qin Wangzheng. But he had no choice but to be favored, plus he was proficient in laws and documents, and was often consulted by the Qin king's political leaders. This is the true favorite.
Such pampering is far beyond Zhao Tuo's.
Zhao Tuo was secretly worried, because he had originally planned to report the method of fertilization to King Qin after entering the palace, but in the end he didn't even have a chance to talk to him.
Zhao Tuo actually understood that Qin Wangzheng was indeed a workaholic. When he was on duty at night, he would often see attendants carrying bamboo slips towards Qin Wangzheng's palace.
This king was still reviewing the slips until midnight.
Therefore, unless he encounters something related or has something to ask, it is really unlikely that he will spend time on Zhao Tuo.
Qin Wangzheng had no time to see Zhao Tuo.
But his daughter does.
On this day, Zhao Tuo and the Zhonglang team completed their inspection mission and handed over to the follow-up Pao Ze before returning to the house to rest.
….
Li You was fine today and was talking to everyone in the house.
Of course, he speaks and everyone listens.
The guard's greeting sounded outside.
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a fragrant breeze poured in.
Everyone looked around and their eyes suddenly lit up.
A beautiful girl wearing a skirt walked in, followed by several attendants.
As soon as the girl stepped into the house, she stretched her head and looked around. It wasn't until she saw the man that a smile appeared on her fair face.
"Princess!"
Li You was agitated and quickly stood up to salute and greet.
His face turned red, his eyes stared closely at the girl's beautiful face, and his heart couldn't help but surge.
I didn't expect that the princess would come here to see me in person.
Li You is now in his mid-twenties and not yet married. Such a situation is rare in today's era.
The reason is that a long time ago, his father Li Si told him that the king intended to marry the Li family and make Princess Li Youshang.
Princess Shang!
Be the son-in-law of Qin Wangzheng!
Listening to these words made Li You excited and wanted to do somersaults.
It's just that Qin Wangzheng's eldest daughter Ying Yinman is still young. According to etiquette, she can't marry him until she is fifteen years old and has hair extensions.
It's just a few years, Li You can afford to wait.
So he suppressed his anxiety and quietly waited for the princess in the palace to grow up.
Because he was afraid that Qin Wangzheng would be unhappy, Li You even used strong perseverance to control his lower body. He had been unable to do so for several years.
He has never been close to a woman.
Day after day, Li You watched the flowers in Qin Palace grow vigorously, and the girl became more beautiful day by day.
Li You saw it and was happy in his heart.
be mine!
she is mine!
This is the voice that Li You screams in his heart every time he sees Ying Yinman.
However, the girl did not like this man who was more than ten years older than her, and after knowing that King Qin intended to marry him, she even became dissatisfied.
Every time they met in the palace, the girl would avoid him with disgust. Faced with Li You's greetings, the girl never answered, but walked around.
Li You was very sad.
But now, those sad feelings are gone.
It turns out that she has me in her heart.
Didn't you just lose your patience and come to me in person?
Look at the smile on her face, how happy she is.
Li You even heard Yang Xiong and others whispering behind him that the princess actually came to see him personally, General Li Hu.
Thinking of this, Li You's legs trembled and he said excitedly: "If the princess wants to give you something, she can just be summoned. There is no need to come here in person."
Hearing Li You's voice, Ying Yinman saw Li Youzheng staring at him with straight eyes.
She wrinkled her nose and said, "I'm here to see Zhao Tuo."
Zhao Tuo?
Li You was stunned.
Ying Yinman also realized that she had made a mistake and added: "I'm not looking for him, it's my brother who is looking for him. Isn't that right?"
She looked back at her maids.
The maids said helplessly: "Wei, it's Mr. Fusu who summoned us."
Mr. Fusu is looking for Zhao Tuo?
Li You breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of disappointment: "Zhao Tuo, you are not on duty now. The master calls you, so go quickly."
"only."
Zhao Tuo responded bravely. Looking at the excited expression of the girl opposite him, he knew that this matter was not simple.
But now that Li Youdu has spoken, he has no way to refuse.
"Go, go, go!"
When Ying Yinman saw Zhao Tuo getting up, he smiled.
Watching Zhao Tuo follow the princess out of the door, Li You still stood there in a daze.
It turns out he wasn’t here to find me.
But why did Mr. Fusu ask Princess Yinman to pass the message to Zhao Tuo?
Li You touched his head depressedly and found that a leaf had been caught on the side of the crown of the bird.
They were probably fallen leaves blown off the big trees by the wind while out on patrol.
Li You took the leaves and looked at them.
Very green.
