The son of the famous Li Si, he is tall and tall, handsome in appearance, and capable of both literary and martial arts. When he became an adult, he relied on Li Si's relationship to enter the palace guard of Qin. After several years of accumulating qualifications, he has now become a middle-ranking minister with a rank higher than that of a thousand stones.
Will.
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 transform into a Tingwei, one of the Nine Qings, and the Li family will also 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.
That Zhao Tuo is smart and intelligent, 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. That's right.
We rely on each other as arms. 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 palace and inspect the forbidden areas. They must not sleep when they are on guard duty at night. Even if it is time to change shifts, they cannot sleep too hard. They must be ready to respond at any time. Also
When the King of Qin travels, they must 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.
General Li Hu does not usually speak evil words, but he is also very strict in his actions. They have been in the palace for several years, and they have never seen Li You talking to anyone like this. As expected, Zhao Tuo has a bright future, and they must fight well with this junior.
Relationship is.
Entering the palace as a benefactor is not only about showing off in front of the king and seeking a good future. There is also another very important benefit, which is to expand interpersonal relationships.
Although Xunzi said when he entered the Qin Dynasty that the officials of the Qin State were "no comparison with Zhou Dynasty and no clique", 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 those who are particularly capable and favored by the king like Zhao Tuo, or they are from 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 will go smoothly, and even if they get promoted, they will be one step ahead.
Speaking,,,edition.]
After a while, Li You's lieutenants on duty arrived, and he announced today's guard duty.
Because Zhao Tuo was a newcomer, Li You asked him to join Yang Xiong and Zhao Bi's team to perform inspection missions 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 warmly.
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 previous chat that Yang Xiong was an eighth-level public servant. He had the same title as him and was also the highest-ranking person in the team of lieutenants.
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 Ben, he is a seventh-level Duke, but it is not known whether his title comes from inheritance or through other means.
After a while, Zhao Tuo, led by Yang Xiong, began to inspect the forbidden area.
The so-called banzhong refers to 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 Langzhong only guards the palace gates and is much less important than the Zhonglang.
Yang Xiong and others have been working as lieutenants for several years. They are very familiar with the roads in the ban, including which concubine lives in which palace, and what is done in each 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 as 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 there was nothing he could do about it. 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 was favored, and he was proficient in laws and documents. He was often taken by Qin Wangzheng to consult.
He 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 the King of 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, then returned 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 guards' greetings sounded outside.
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a fragrant breeze poured in.
Everyone looked for the voice and their eyes suddenly lit up.
A beautiful girl in 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 little face.
"Princess!"
Li You was all excited and hurriedly 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 so excited that he wanted to do somersaults.
However, the eldest daughter of Qin Wangzheng, Ying Yinman, was still young. According to the etiquette system, she could not marry him until she was fifteen years old and had 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 willpower to control his lower body. He had not been close to a woman for several years.
Day after day, Li You watched the flowers in the Qin Palace grow vigorously, and the girls 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 the King of Qin intended to marry, 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 emotions are gone.
It turns out that she has me in her heart.
Aren't you unable to bear it anymore and come to me personally?
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 only needs to 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 is Mr. Fusu who summoned me."
Master 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 send a 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.
