The morning sun rose from the east on time on time and hung high in the sky. Dugu Lijun, who had already woken up, had to continue lying on the bed without moving due to some reasons.

Dugu Lijun looked at Dugu Jin who was pillowing his arm, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The foreign object he felt in his sleep yesterday must be Dugu Jin who was sleeping soundly in front of him.

Dugu Jin in front of him had some dreams, and he smashed his mouth from time to time. Occasionally, a few drops of crystal liquid came out of his mouth and dripped on Dugu Lijun's clothes. Dugu Lijun really smiled bitterly for this.

Dugu Lijun calculated the time and knew that he really couldn't spend time with Dugu Jin here. After all, he still had very important things waiting for him to do.

Dugu Lijun turned his body and called out the eunuchs sent by Wang Huai to take care of the prince, pointing to one of them and said, "Come and help the prince up a little, try to be as light as possible."

The eunuch pointed at nodded and responded respectfully: "No"

The eunuch carefully and skillfully lifted Dugu Jin's head up, so that Dugu Lijun had enough space to pull out his already numb arms.

"Okay, let it go!"

After hearing Dugu Lijun's order, the eunuch slowly placed Dugu Jin's little head on the pillow. Because the eunuch's steady operation, Dugu Jin had no intention of awakening.

This made Dugu Liyun admire the eunuch's skillful skills in his heart, and also admired Dugu Jin who was sleeping. It is estimated that except for the collapse of the sky and the earth, the rest would not affect his nephew's determination to sleep.

Dugu Lijun looked down at the clothes that were covered in oil by Dugu Jin yesterday, and had saliva on his sleeves. He shook his head and turned out a brand new white robe from the closet next to the bed.

Dugu Lijun stood in front of the bronze mirror, placing it in a wooden shape, and letting the eunuchs mercy. At the same time, he also secretly arranged the ancient clothes in his heart were too complicated, which was particularly inconvenient to wear them.

The eunuchs helped Dugu Lijun put on their clothes and retreated to the side and waited.

"Go and get a basin of water and then send it to the Military Supervisor." Dugu Lijun pointed to the eunuch who had just escaped from the gang leader Dugu Lifeng.

The eunuch "No" responded respectfully and retreated.

After the eunuch retreated, Dugu Lijun also left the prince and ran to the military governor's academy.

Whenever I enter this military governor's academy, Dugu Lijun feels a sense of depression. He always feels that the emperor's brother is still there, but he cannot see or touch it.

As soon as Dugu Lijun stepped into the Military Admiral Academy, the eunuch who fetched water followed him in, "Your Highness, I will help you wipe your face!"

"No need, put it on that chair!" Dugu Lijun responded.

"No" eunuch carefully placed the river basin on the stool, turned around and did not retreat, but retreated to the side and waited.

Dugu Lijun wiped his face with the water he had brought in, and slowly asked the eunuch next to him, "What's your name?"

"Before I entered the palace, I was called Zhang Shun, so everyone was called Xiao Shunzi." Xiao Shunzi replied respectfully

"Yeah! Xiaoshunzi"

"The slave is here"

"Can you comb your hair?" Dugu Lijun asked.

"Slaves" Xiao Shunzi said respectfully

Dugu Lijun found a stool closest to him and sat on it. "Clean my hair."

"Nuo" Xiao Shunzi quickly took out a wooden comb and a small bronze mirror from his arms.

Dugu Lijun smiled silently when he saw this. These things were obviously not something that eunuchs would take. They must have prepared them together when he asked him to fetch water just now, so he did not retreat just now, but was waiting on the side.

He has a sense of composure and vision, and the hair combing technique is even more proficient in those palace maids, which makes Dugu Liyun's favorable impression of him a few points.

“How old is this year”

"Go back to Your Highness, I'm twenty."

"It's been a few years since I entered the palace"

"It's been twelve years to go back to Your Highness"

"Why do you enter the palace with purity?"

"After the family was suffering from natural disasters, I had to sell my slaves into the palace."

This question and answer made Dugu Lijun have a certain understanding of Xiao Shunzi, and he also lamented that when the emperor's brother first ascended the throne, many people in Daqi were destroyed and killed.

"Your Highness, comb it," Xiao Shunzi said respectfully.

Dugu Liyun looked in the mirror, combing it much cleaner than before. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a clever hand."

"Thank you for your praise." Xiao Shunzi's face looked happy.

Looking at his neatly drooping temples in the mirror, "You follow me in the future!"

Xiao Shunzi was overjoyed when he heard this. Everything he had done today was finally rewarded. As long as he could stay by Prince Zhao's side, even if the matter was revealed, he would have a chance. Xiao Shunzi quickly knelt down and said, "I thank Your Highness."

Dugu Lijun waved his hand and said, "Get up!" At the same time, he was also secretly surprised. Is it worth being happy to stay by his side?

"You go back today to take care of the prince, and come to the military governor's office tomorrow."

"Nuo" Xiao Shunzi bent down respectfully and retreated.

"By the way, go and call Wang Huai, just say that I am waiting for him in the Military Academy." Dugu Lijun quickly added to Xiao Shunzi who turned around and left.

"promise"

……………………

A moment later, Wang Huai hurried to the Military Supervisor Academy.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with calling me a slave?" Wang Huai said breathlessly.

Dugu Lifeng looked at Wang Huai in front of him and asked with a smile, "There is a dog chasing you! This is how it happened."

"It's not your Highness that you asked Xiao Shunzi to come to you, saying that there is something urgent."

Dugu Liqiu frowned. It was obvious that Xiao Shunzi said something more, which made Dugu Liqiu feel a little disliked. No boss liked an employee who could not even convey accurate information.

Of course, Dugu Lifeng did not show any of it, after all, it was not a big deal.

"Nothing big is going to happen. I want a map of Daqi and help me get one."

Wang Huai thought for a moment, "Your Highness, you want a map..."

Wang Huai said halfway, but was interrupted by Dugu Lifeng's wave of his hand, "Go and get it first, let's talk about it later."

"promise"

After Wang Huai withdrew, Dugu Liwei fell into deep thought. Dugu Liwei originally wanted to visit Li Fu, but suddenly he remembered that Li Fu, as the assistant to the Pavilion, would go to the Political Affairs Hall for half a day or a day every day, so Dugu gave up the idea of ​​going now and decided to go again in the afternoon.

Although he won't go there for the time being, Dugu Liwei will not be idle either. He still has an urgent matter to do now, which is to find a place where the Tu and Li Fu have not yet penetrated into it, and develop his own strength. Even if they really rebelled in the Tu in the future, he would have a base.

Soon Wang Huai called the four or five eunuchs to come back with a huge scroll.

After the eunuchs placed the map on the ground, Wang Huai said, "You all go out!"

"Yes," everyone replied in unison.

After driving away the eunuchs, Wang Huai turned to Dugu Liqi and said, "Your Highness, this is the most accurate map of my Daqi. There are not only various defense troops on it, but also geographical locations such as neighboring countries."

"Oh! Come and help me." Dugu Liqi walked to the map and asked Wang Huai to slowly open the map.

After the map slowly opened, Dugu Liqi's eyes lit up. He had seen Daqi's map before, but this was the first time I saw this realistic picture in front of me, which was not inferior to the map of the 21st century in China.

This made Dugu Liqi admire the person who drew this map.

Dugu Liqi looked at the map in front of him and couldn't help but sigh that the land area of ​​Daqi is really large, much larger than any dynasty in Chinese history.

The most interesting thing is that the image of Daqi territory is similar to a turtle. The important passes on the five lands of Daqi are located at the turtle's head, right front paw, left and right back paw, and tail. The only customs is located at the left front paw.

Although this was not done on purpose, Dugu Liqi still couldn't help but want to laugh. Isn't this the legendary Turtle Kingdom?

After laughing secretly, Dugu Liwei began to carefully look at the map in front of him. Daqi implemented a prefecture-county system similar to the history of Chinese history, dividing Daqi into 18 prefectures and counties with a large number of prefectures.

According to the map in front of you, although Daqi is divided into eighteen states, the southern states and northern states are completely unequal. The southern states are densely populated and small in area, but their economy is particularly developed. The northern states have a wide area and sparse population, and are called the Northern Barbarians by the southerners.

People in the south look down on northerners just like literati look down on military men. It has been a matter of no matter how many days a day, it has been hundreds of years.

Moreover, the officials in Beijing are mostly southerners, and a very few are northerners, and that very few will be excluded, and finally you will be completely excluded.

Since all southerners are officials and power, even the imperial examinations are given priority to admit southerners.

This made the northerners angry, so the hatred between the north and the south was very deep. Even if they were like Li Fu in Tuli, they could not escape the deep pride that was born to look down on the northerners.

This is exactly what Dugu Lifeng wants to see, so that Dugu Lifeng will have the opportunity to use the hatred between the north and the south to establish its own power in the north to fight against the borers entrenched in the south.

"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" Wang Huai said to Dugu Li, who had not spoken for a long time, on the map.

"Wang Huai! I want to transfer the Longwu Guwei from Yaogu Pass back." Dugu Lijun pointed at the thief from Yaogu Pass and said.

"What" Wang Huai shouted in surprise.

"Why are you so fussy?" Dugu Liwei responded slowly, but his attention was always on the map.

"Your Highness, once the Longwu Guard retreats, the people in Yao Valley will suffer.

"Those are all lackeys in the picture. Why should I watch Tuli for him?"

Dugu Liqi suddenly turned around, glared at Wang Huai, and said furiously

Wang Huai was startled by Dugu Lifeng's sudden turn, his whole body trembled, and he said stumblingly: "That...... is also... big... Qi's people!"

"It is the so-called people of Daqi that forced my royal brother to death." Dugu Liyun's body trembled, feeling that he had said something, and said a random voice, sighing sadly.

"Wang Huai! If I had other ways, this would not be the case."

"Your Highness, I know, but if your Highness continues like this, I am afraid that the Tuli will slander you again. You may not be well-known at that time!" Wang Huaiyu said earnestly.
