General Qin

Chapter 120: Palace

Mr. Changping?

Zhao Tuo was stunned, didn't Chang Wenjun invite me?

Why did the bearded official say that it was Lord Changping's order?

Although surprised in his heart, Zhao Tuo didn't show any emotion on his face. After thanking the bearded official, he turned around and left the official office.

Although Wang Jian reminded himself before, don't contact the two princes of Chu easily.

But Zhao Tuo had no choice. The majestic prince stooped to invite you to the mansion for a talk. Would you dare to refuse, a little Zhonglang?

Taking advantage of the early weather, Zhao Tuo started looking for wild geese all over the city.

There is no other reason, because of the "ritual" ear.

The so-called "use poultry as the six friends, and wait for the ministers: the lonely hold the skin and silk, the minister holds the lamb, the doctor holds the geese, the scholar holds the pheasant, the common people hold the duck, and the businessman holds the chicken."

Zhao Tuojue is a public servant, which is equivalent to the rank of a doctor. When visiting others, he should hold a wild goose as a courtesy.

Fortunately, just after October, all the wild geese in the Guanzhong area have not yet migrated south. After paying some money, Zhao Tuo managed to buy a suitable gift for visiting.

When he came to Changping Jun's mansion, he was warmly welcomed in by the housekeeper.

As the right prime minister who has been in power for ten years in Qin State, the Changping Monarch's Mansion occupies a very large area, full of carved railings and painted buildings, cornices and corners, and the decoration is quite luxurious.

Guided by the housekeeper, Zhao Tuo walked to a house, took off his shoes after getting permission, and walked in respectfully.

Although it was still early in the day, candles were already lit in the house, and several rows of five-foot-high bronze lamp stands were placed against the wall.

Zhao Tuo noticed that these bronze lamp stands were in the shape of a phoenix bird, with exquisite shapes. The proud phoenix bird spread its wings, and there was a small lamp plate in its open mouth, burning animal ointment in the plate, quietly releasing it. with light.

Chu people worshiped the phoenix.

Zhao Tuo's heart moved, but with a respectful expression on his face, he cupped his hands to Jun Hou who was sitting on the couch looking down at a silk painting, and said: "Boy Zhao Tuo, fortunately you have been invited by Jun Hou, and I am here to see you."

"Hehe, don't be so polite, you child. When you come to my mansion, you can treat it as your own home."

Lord Changping put down the silk painting, his expression was gentle, and he spoke like an elder in Zhao Tuo's family.

"How old is this year?"

"My lord, it's sixteen."

Zhao Tuo calculated silently in his heart, and now it has been a year, and according to the false age of people in this era, he is indeed sixteen years old.

"Sixteen, it's about the same age as Fusu."

Mr. Changping said lightly, Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched.

Fortunately, Mr. Changping did not get too entangled in the topic of his son Fusu. Instead, he chatted with Zhao Tuo about home affairs, asked Zhao Tuo about the war in Yandi, talked about his own affairs in Qin, and even asked Zhao Tuo about his affairs. He talked about his experience of suppressing the rebellion of Lao Ai for the king ten years ago.

Mr. Changping has a gentle tone and a kind demeanor. If Li Xin were here instead, he would definitely be moved to the ground.

But Zhao Tuo only felt that the light was on his back, and the soles of his feet were cold.

This prince obviously has no friendship with him, but he keeps talking to him in this manner, and he may have other plans.

Sure enough, after a bland exchange, Mr. Changping began to get into the topic.

"I heard that you are the descendant of Gongshuzi, that's why you are able to make such utensils as giant cannons."

"Jun Hou misunderstood, the boy is not a descendant of Gongshuzi, but he has seen the remnants left by Gongshuzi's lineage, and he was lucky enough to make a giant cannon."

"I see. I don't know. Apart from the giant cannon that sieged the city, do you still remember other things left by Gongshuzi?"

At this point, Juntu Changping stared at Zhao Tuo with his eyes fixed on Zhao Tuo, and the bright light in his eyes gave Zhao Tuo a sense of oppression.

Zhao Tuo's heart was beating like thunder, but his face remained calm.

"My lord, what I saw before was only some incomplete texts. Only the Jupao article was kept relatively complete. The rest of the bamboo slips were all fragmented chapters. After reading it, I didn't know what was written on it, let alone remembered it. Today."

"Really? I don't remember, or you don't want to say it?" Mr. Chang Ping stretched his head over the desk, his eyes were on Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo said: "I don't dare. If I still remember, I will tell the king."

Mr. Changping smiled faintly, "Don't be afraid, I am now a prince, and I will not take credit for your achievements. I just thought, if you can still make some artifacts left by Gongshuzi, which can be useful to the country, I will I will definitely ask for credit for you, and there will be no shortage of promotions and honors."

"Perhaps, you can still become a fifth doctor."

After the words fell, Mr. Changping squinted at the boy in the room.

"Thanks to the great love of Junhou, but the boy really doesn't remember."

Zhao Tuo's eyes were calm, and he met Mr. Changping's eyes, and their eyes met in mid-air.

After a long time, Mr. Changping showed a smile.

"In this case, it's a pity."

...

When Zhao Tuo came out of Changping Jun's mansion, his entire back was already wet with sweat.

"Okay, Xiong Qi, it turned out that the idea was based on the technology in my belly, no wonder you invited me so hospitablely."

During this visit to the Houfu, Zhao Tuo was already aware of Lord Changping's purpose, but he did not expect that the prince had such a vicious vision. He sensed Zhao Tuo's potential from the giant artillery incident, so he did not hesitate to speak out.

If it wasn't for Zhao Tuo knowing his details and someone else asked him, Zhao Tuo might really be tempted to say something in order to get promoted.

"I'm only telling Brother Zheng now, and it won't work if anyone asks."

Zhao Tuo made up his mind and just waited until he entered the palace to find an opportunity to report the matter of retting to King Qin as soon as possible.

On the second day, before the cock crowed, Zhao Tuo got up from the bed, washed up hastily, and walked towards Xianyang Palace.

Xianyang Palace is majestic and towering, with black tiles and yellow walls, which has a solemn and solemn scene.

At the gate of the palace, after checking Zhao Tuo's identity, the doctor guarding the place said with a flattering smile, "Zhao Zhonglang came really early, General Li Hu hasn't arrived yet."

Zhao Tuo joked: "When I think about entering the palace, I get so excited that I can't sleep at night, so I can't help but get up early."

"We understand that we also felt this way when we first entered the palace, haha."

The doorkeepers chatted and laughed with Zhao Tuo, and when it was time to open the door, they let Zhao Tuo into the palace gate.

Under the guidance of a doctor, Zhao Tuo walked on the road of the Qin Palace, and soon came to a house in the palace.

This is the room where Zhonglang Hujiang and his subordinates rest. Zhao Tuo wants to meet his future colleagues and bosses here.

The Langguan system is all ordered by Lang Zhongling, and then subdivided down, the leader of Zhonglang's army is Zhonglang General, and now Meng Tian of Mengshi is in charge.

Below Zhonglang generals, they are divided into three generals: household, cavalry, and chariot.

Zhao Tuo is a Zhonglang under the command of Zhonglang Hujiang.

Although Qin Wangzheng favored him, but Zhao Tuo was young, and his title was only a public servant. It was impossible for him to hold a high position as soon as he entered the palace. He could only start as a low-level Zhonglang.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Tuo saw two people sitting there chatting.

Seeing someone coming in, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and one of them, the round-faced Lang Guan, reacted the fastest and greeted him with a smile.

"So young, I guess it's the Zhao Tuo, Zhao Zhonglang that the king personally recruited!"

Zhao Tuo was overwhelmed by the flattery. Seeing that the other party was very enthusiastic, he hurriedly responded, "Zhao Tuo is just here for the first time, so please give me your advice."

"It's easy to say, my name is Yang Xiong, and we will be colleagues in the future."

Yang Xiong?

Zhao Tuo was slightly taken aback, he seemed to have heard the name before.

But since the other party intends to cater to him, he is also happy to establish a good relationship with his colleagues.

Soon the three of them chatted in the room.

Besides Zhao Tuo, there were two people in the room, the one with the round face was named Yang Xiong, and the one with the long face was named Zhao Ben.

Yang Xiong is a descendant of the general Yang family, and a descendant of Yang Duanhe, a general under Qin Wangzheng.

As for Zhao Ben, he was a descendant of Zhao Ting, the famous general of King Zhaoxiang.

Both of them were born in the general family, and entered the Langguan by virtue of their family background, they are veritable young soldiers.

But in the face of Zhao Tuo, who was personally recruited by Qin Wangzheng, the two of them didn't dare to trust each other. Everyone wanted to make friends with each other, and the room was very happy for a while, and even when Yang Xiong chatted about something interesting, the three couldn't help laughing .

However, at this moment, the closed door was suddenly pushed open.

A general with a square face and short beard came in, wearing a gown crown.

"Why is it so noisy in the quiet morning!"

As soon as the general came in, he reprimanded sharply and glanced at the three people in the room.

"General Li Hu."

Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben, who were facing the door, saw the visitor, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

Zhao Tuo turned around and met the general's eyes.

His immediate boss, General Zhonglanghu.

Li You!

Regarding Xiang Yu's father, because there is no historical record, according to the so-called Xiang family tree, there are mainly three types: "Xiang Qu", "Xiang Rong" and "Xiang Chao". If you want to write, which name do you think is more appropriate?

"Han Shu Gongqing Baiguan Biao": Among the Langzhong, there are three generals who are chariots, householders, and riders, and their ranks are all higher than a thousand stones.
