Princess Yinman is addicted.
And the addiction is a bit big.
Ever since Zhao Tuo talked eloquently in the side hall that day and described a battle between Yan and Di in a thrilling and lifelike way.
Ying Yinman remembered his eloquent mouth.
Basically every few days, she would call Zhao Tuo to a side hall in the name of Fusu and ask him to talk about outside affairs.
Of course, Fusu was indeed there. This handsome young man took up this cover at his sister's request.
He also liked listening to Zhao Tuo talk about outside things.
Although Fusu had contact with Chu Ke and Confucian scholars in Xianyang City, most of them quoted scriptures and talked about ancient things and liked to use the past to satirize the present.
On the contrary, what Zhao Tuo said was the real life of the people at the lowest level in this era.
Either in the military or among the people.
Either in the land of Zhao, or in the land of Yan, or in the countryside of Qin.
The vivid characters and the events that happened in this era made Fusu come into contact with voices from the bottom of society for the first time.
Moreover, some of the opinions that Zhao Tuo said from time to time were very interesting, which sometimes inspired Fusu, and he was willing to act as a cover for Ying Yinman.
But Zhao Tuo was helpless.
He didn't come to the palace to tell stories, but to get acquainted with better and wider connections while gaining seniority, and at the same time win the appreciation of Qin Wangzheng.
What's more, Fusu's identity is too sensitive, and the Chu clan imprint on him is too heavy, so he is not favored by the Qin king.
In addition, there is the time bomb of Changping-kun.
Zhao Tuo did not want to have too close contact with Fusu, let alone participate in the establishment of the prince in the Qin Dynasty.
It's a pity that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Didn't you see that General Li Hu couldn't refuse the princess's request?
How could a young man like him say no?
However, Fusu was a little busy during this period and rarely came here. Only Zhao Tuo and Ying Yinman were left, so he became the princess's full-time story lecturer.
There are only a few things that can be said outside. When Zhao Tuo finished speaking, he spread his hands.
"Gone."
"It's gone? You're gone? Why are you so short?"
Ying Yinman's eyes widened and he said, "I think you are so good at talking, you must be able to make up some interesting stories of your own, right? Tell me one quickly."
The girl was both threatening and coquettishly begging. With this look, Zhao Tuo couldn't resist it, and he surrendered within a few rounds.
Tell you about a young man named Hu Hai who faked his inheritance?
In the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu burned Xianyang while fighting for hegemony?
Zhao Tuo curled his lips, suppressed his thoughts of mischief, recalled some of the things he had seen before, and picked a suitable story to tell.
"The story I'm telling is called The Legend of the Heroes of Shedong. This story starts from the Qiantang River..."
"Where is the Qiantang River?"
………
Ying Yinman liked the stories Zhao Tuo told so much that he couldn't sleep at night and wanted to listen to them every day.
In all her life, she has never heard of such interesting things.
All kinds of magical martial arts moves, all kinds of weird adventures, as well as the couple named Huang Rong and Guo Jing, and their love story.
This is more attractive than fighting or anything.
….
Ying Yinman was completely lost when her youthful heart was budding.
She couldn't bear the days of catching up, and she wanted to see Zhao Tuo every day, listen to him tell the love story of Guo and Huang, and want to know what the ending of the story would be like.
So the princess couldn't wait for the meeting that only happened every few days, so she ran to Zhonglang's office every day, and would take Zhao Tuo away whenever she caught him resting.
In this way, even a fool can see that something is wrong.
"Princess, no!"
Li You's face was full of grief and anger, and he rejected the princess's request for the first time.
Ying Yinman raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Why not? My brother admires Zhao Tuo's talent very much and wants to talk to him about things. Li You, do you have to refuse my brother and me?"
Although Ying Yinman is a woman, when she gets angry now, she reveals a sense of majesty, very much like that aloof king.
Seeing the princess in front of him getting angry and frightening, Li You inexplicably became half shorter. His usual stern look in front of his subordinates had long since disappeared, and he weakly closed his mouth.
"Zhao Tuo, come with me to see my brother."
Ying Yinman left with a cold face, taking Zhao Tuo with a face full of embarrassment.
Seeing that the two of them had disappeared, Li You still stood on the same spot and murmured to himself: "It's all Master Fusu who invited me. This is what Master Fusu meant."
Yang Xiong, Zhao Bi and other subordinates looked at each other with strange expressions from behind.
Is General Li Hu stupid?
As the Zhonglang patrolling the palace, they knew very well that Young Master Fusu was not in the palace today.
Zhao Tuo also knew that this was not good. Yang Xiong had told him that King Qin wanted to let Princess Li Youshang go. He knew that after what Ying Yinman did, he would probably be hated by Li Youji.
It's not that Zhao Tuo was afraid of Li You, but that he had a good relationship with Li Si, and Li You had shown kindness to him before, so the two parties had the possibility of forming an alliance. Although they won't fall out on the spot now, they will never be as close as before.
Moreover, Ying Yinman was really not someone he could refuse if he wanted to.
He had underestimated this princess before.
Zhao Tuo originally thought that Ying Yinman was just a young palace girl with a weak personality, but he did not expect that underneath her beautiful and lively appearance, she had a strong heart.
Zhao Tuo just raised his concerns and wanted to tell her tactfully that doing so would easily cause criticism.
Upon hearing this, Ying Yinman snorted: "I'm not even afraid, so what else do you, a man, have to be afraid of?"
The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched slightly and he said, "The main thing is that I am afraid that the king will know."
Ying Yinman hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "If my father knows, then I know, so what can I do."
"Zhao Tuo."
"I am the princess and you are the lieutenant. In this Qin Palace, you must listen to me."
Ying Yinman spoke very slowly, but his tone did not allow him to refute.
Zhao Tuo stared blankly at the girl in front of him. When she spoke, she looked very much like Qin Wangzheng.
Much more similar than Fusu.
Qin Wangzheng still knew about this.
He sat on the imperial couch, watched Ying Yinman walk into the room, and sighed softly.
"Father."
"Do you often go to Zhonglang's official office to see Zhao Tuo?"
"yes."
Ying Yinman agreed simply, but Qin Wangzheng was stunned for a moment.
He didn't get angry. He had always been very patient with his eldest daughter.
"Dignified princess, why do you always find a lieutenant? What will it sound like if word spreads about it?"
Ying Yinman smiled and said, "Zhao Tuo's words are very interesting. I have never heard of the stories he told."
Qin Wangzheng remembered that he had stood outside the side hall and listened to Zhao Tuo telling his children about the war in Yan.
The boy's words were indeed good, and even the mighty King Qin was fascinated by his words. He stood outside the palace for a long time without realizing it.
Qin Wangzheng understood somewhat and said seriously: "But you are older now. If this continues..."
"By the way, father, I remembered that Zhao Tuo said that he knew a way to increase grain production, which could increase grain production by one stone per acre of farmland!"
"What, increase the yield per acre by one stone?"
Qin Wangzheng's expression changed, and his thoughts suddenly jumped from his children's personal relationship to the important affairs of the country.
"Are you telling the truth? Does that kid really have such a method?"
"Yes, yes, I wanted to tell my father before, but I forgot about it. He has a lot of clever ideas."
When Ying Yinman saw her father's expression, a sly smile appeared on her lips.
