General Qin

"Zhao Tuo."

"Zhao Tuo!"

While whispering the name, Li You threw the arrow in his hand towards the pot in front of him.

The arrow flew out of Li You's hand, flew crookedly in the air for a certain distance, and finally touched the side of the pot and landed, rolling around beside it, accompanied by dozens of arrows scattered around.

Li You, who always liked throwing pots, was not in good condition today, and only three or two arrows were thrown into the pot.

"Arrow!"

Li You growled.

The attendant at the side hurriedly handed over the arrow in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Fifth doctor, there is only one arrow left."

"Fifth doctor?"

Hearing this, Li You's face flushed instantly. He gave the attendant a vicious look, took the last arrow and threw it forward vigorously.

The arrow didn't fall into the pot, but hit the pot with such force that it overturned the whole copper pot on the spot.

This arrow seemed to hit the person Li You was thinking of.

"Zhao Tuo, what a fifth doctor!"

Li You's eyes were a little red.

Although it has been known for a long time that Zhao Tuo won the victory in Xingyang and was promoted to the rank of five doctors, but Li You can't hold back the burning flame in his heart as long as he thinks about it in his spare time.

A young man who was almost ten years younger than him had the same title as him in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, he was once his subordinate.

Li You was full of jealousy.

But this is not the main reason for Li You's anger. Zhao Tuo's title was created by himself on the battlefield with one sword and one halberd. After seeing the record in the game, I can't help but admire it.

If it's just a question of title, Li You is willing to be friendly with Zhao Tuo because of Li Si's relationship, but if it involves the princess.

Li You couldn't forget the way those people looked at him from the dark.

The Zhonglang under his command, the colleagues in the palace, the palace people who shuttle between the Qin Palace...

Li You is not a fool, he understands the meaning in those eyes!

"Zhao Tuo, why did you show up, why did you provoke her!"

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Li Si walked in with a happy face, but when he saw the arrows falling all over the ground, his face collapsed again.

He waved his hand to make the servants in the room retreat, and then said to Li You: "You are still thinking about Zhao Tuo."

Li You gritted his teeth and said: "Because of this son, I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles in the palace. It's really hateful."

Li Si frowned. He knew about Zhao Tuo, the princess and Li You, but he never commented on it.

Seeing his son's mentality collapsed now, he could only open his mouth and say: "A mere woman, does she need to be like this? So confused, with resentment floating on the surface, what does this look like? My Li Si's son shouldn't be so superficial. "

Li You was full of unwillingness.

"Father, that's a princess! You clearly agreed to let me be the princess!"

Li Si glared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you, the king has never promised this matter. He just revealed it to me many years ago. You must remember, don't say such things outside. That's it. If it gets to the ears of the king, under the current situation, the king may think that my father and son are trying to blackmail him with this matter!"

"But... But this matter has been passed on for so many years, and the king has never denied it. Now the entire noble family in Xianyang has known about it for a long time." Li You said in a low voice.

"That's because Your Majesty thinks that I, Li Si, are useful to Qin. At the beginning, Lu Buwei and Lao Ai's influence was wiped out, and only Changping Jun, Chang Wenjun was left in the court. Your Majesty specially supported me, Wei Liao, Yao Jia and others to contain them , so the intention of revealing the marriage to me is to accept my heart. At the same time, I also think that you have certain talents and can be recruited as a son-in-law. That's why I didn't care about this matter."

"You were drunk and spread the word. If the king really wants to pursue it, let alone Princess Shang, I'm afraid the title on your head will be cut off."

Hearing this, Li You shivered.

Li Si said coldly: "In addition, Zhao Tuo is favored by the king, even if you have resentment towards him, never show it, otherwise the king will only look down on you."

"I don't want to be hostile to him either, it's just that the princess seems to be interested in him."

Li You said with a jealous face.

"Princess?"

Li Si sneered and said: "You have been guarding the palace for so long, and you can't even understand such a simple thing. So what if the princess is interested in him, could it be that the princess's marriage is something she can decide on her own?"

Li You was stunned.

Li Si's face was serious, and he admonished: "Li You, Li You, you are resentful because of a woman all day long, but you forgot that in this country of Qin, everything is decided by the king's will."

"So what if the princess is interested in Zhao Tuo? If the king disagrees, what will happen to her and Zhao Tuo?"

"You, you, if you really want to be the princess, then you should be like Zhao Tuo, do meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and use the most dazzling record to convince everyone. Let the king also think that you, Li You, are the best son-in-law candidate! Instead of hiding in the This mansion is full of anger, you look like this, let alone a king, even I look down on you when I see it."

When his father said this, Li You blushed and said, "I also want to make meritorious service on the battlefield. I, Li You, am familiar with military books and have learned battlefield tactics from General Huanju. If I can go to the battlefield, I will definitely be no worse than Zhao Tuo. It's just that I have been guarding the palace, and the king will not send me to the battlefield."

Li Si smiled.

"I came to you today because of this."

"The war in Wei State is about to come to an end. According to the military situation that Wang Ben passed back before, it will only take a few days for Daliang to fall. At that time, Wei State will fall, and according to the plan set by the king and the ministers, a large army will be conscripted after the autumn harvest. Chu!"

"In the battle of defeating Chu, Lord Changping, who bears the blood of the surname Mi, asked for help, let alone us who were born in Chu. So this time, I have asked for orders to defeat Chu for you, to show my Li family's loyalty. Your Majesty Sure, when the battle against Chu is launched after the autumn harvest, you can follow Li Xin to lead the army to the battlefield, make great achievements, and let the king look at you differently!"

Li You said happily: "That's great, as long as you give me the chance to go to the battlefield, I will never be worse than that Zhao Tuo!"

"Don't worry, I have something more exciting to tell you." Li Si twirled his beard and played tricks.

Li You was even more surprised, and asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

"I asked for your order to go to the battle. The king was very pleased, and told me that you have served the court for many years. For this time, he will give you a rank of nobility and be promoted to Zuo Shuzhang to show his favor." Li Si said lightly.

The next moment, Li You trembled with excitement.

"Master Zuo Shu!"

Li You laughed happily, and in the laughter, he swept away the depression accumulated in the past few days, and suddenly felt refreshed.

Li Si glanced at his excited son, shook his head, walked forward slowly, set up the pot that fell on the ground, picked up an arrow in his hand, and walked to a distance.

He tossed it lightly, and saw that the arrow was firmly inserted into the pot.

"Things in the world are like this throwing pot. Only by finding the correct position in the pot can the arrow hit the vital point. If you don't aim at the center of the pot, throwing randomly in other places is of no use."

"That's why I told you just now that it doesn't matter who the princess likes. The important thing is who the king wants to be the princess. The king's heart is the core of this pot."

"Now Zhao Tuo has just been promoted to the rank of fifth doctor, at the same level as you. The king gave you a title by taking advantage of your many years of guarding, just to let you beat Zhao Tuo. The reason for this is you? Don't you understand?"

Li You was stunned, and then said ecstatically: "I never thought that the king would love me so much, it seems that the king really belongs to me, hahaha, in this way, my title is higher than that of Zhao Tuo!"

"Zhao Tuo, I have the king's favor, what are you going to use to compete with me for the princess!"

...

"Did you issue the Lord Lieutenant's Mansion for Li You's edict?"

Qin Gong, Qin Wangzheng looked up from the bamboo slips and asked Zhao Gao who had just entered the room.

Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed his head and said: "My Majesty, the edict has been issued, and in a few days Li Hu will be promoted to the rank of Zuo Shuzhang."

Qin Wangzheng nodded, and suddenly asked, "Are you wondering why I bestowed a title on Li You?"

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Wangzheng's expression, and knew that the other party was asking intentionally, so he catered to him: "I am indeed quite suspicious."

Qin Wangzheng looked down at the bamboo slips on the case again, and at the same time said: "Master Zuo Shu is already regarded as the nobleman of our country of Qin, and it was also from Mr. Zuo Shu that the Shang Lord presided over the reform plan of our country of Qin in the past. This title is not for those with high merit, and it is difficult to obtain."

"Although Li You has been in the palace for many years, his hard work would not have allowed him to be promoted to this rank. But because of that kid Zhao Tuo, hehe..."

Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng shook his head and laughed again.

Zhao Gao was thoughtful, and asked cautiously: "I heard that Zhao Tuo won a great victory in Xingyang, and he has been promoted to the rank of five senior officials, and he is the same noble as General Li Hu. Your Majesty is promoted to General Li Hu today. Could it be that you want General Li Hu Squeeze that Zhao Tuo?"

Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng burst out laughing.

Let Li You overwhelm Zhao Tuo?

Zhao Tuo would be fine if he didn't overwhelm Li You.

Zhao Tuo went to the state of Wei, and won a big victory in a blink of an eye. He not only beheaded thousands of people, but also captured a prince of the state of Wei.

It was nothing at all, Qin Wangzheng was actually very happy to see these young people competing with each other.

It's interesting to think about the fact that the two are in the same title and are fighting for one goal.

But as the autumn harvest approached, Qin Wangzheng couldn't sit still because of the news from Zhisu Neishifu's newspaper.

Although it is not yet the grain harvest season, the crops in the countless acres of Guanzhong are indeed growing much better than before, and this year's grain production will definitely increase a lot compared to before.

"This method of retting and fertilizing is indeed of great benefit to our Qin country, and it is a truly beneficial policy for the country!"

Qin Wangzheng remembered the promise he made when Zhao Tuo offered this technique.

For this kind of method that can greatly enhance the national power of the Qin State, Qin Wangzheng will not be stingy with rewards in public or private, at least one level of nobility is absolutely indispensable.

But in this way, there will be a very embarrassing thing. If Zhao Tuo, who has been promoted to the fifth doctor, is given another level of nobility, wouldn't it mean that Zuo Shu grew up and pressured his old boss Li You by a level.

Regarding the quarrel between Li You and Zhao Tuo, Qin Wangzheng knew very well that he didn't care if Zhao Tuo overpowered Li You.

But Li Si's thoughts had to be taken into account.

Li Si has the talent for governing the country, and he is also his confidant minister. Qin Wangzheng has the idea of ​​making great use of him, so he must give Li Si a face.

Therefore, this is why he was bestowed by Li You.

"Hehe, when the time comes, both of them will have the title of Zuo Shuchang, and they will attack Chu together. It will be interesting to compete in the same position."

Qin Wangzheng felt complacent, looked at Zhao Gao's puzzled expression, and did not explain.

At this moment, an attendant reported outside the door, saying that Bangwei's mansion had received an urgent military message from Daliang.

The battle of defeating Wei was the most important matter of the Qin State. Naturally, there was no delay in reporting the military information of the Great Liang. Qin Wangzheng hurriedly asked Zhao Gao to fetch the silk book.

He couldn't wait to open it and look at it, but after just reading the beginning, a happy smile appeared on Qin Wangzheng's face.

"In today's world, there is no Wei State anymore."

Zhao Gao, who was waiting by the side, immediately smiled when he heard this, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, another kingdom of ten thousand chariots has been destroyed, which is one step closer to the great cause of unifying the world."

"Wang Jian and his son are very good. They broke Yanzhao for me and destroyed Wei. They are really the pillars of the country..."

After Qin Wangzheng finished reading the previous military report, his eyes fell on the memorial written by Wang Ben.

Immediately afterwards, the smile on his face froze.

"I was promoted to a military marquis, and captured the cities in the east of the Wei State. After being ambushed, I defeated the Wei army. Five thousand broke six thousand, and I surrendered the escaped Lord Ningling of the Wei State..."

"This kid... How can this kid make meritorious deeds so fast!"

"It's really a headache for the widow."

Qin Wangzheng looked at the silk book in his hand again and again, with a dumbfounding expression on his face.

Zhao Gao was full of curiosity.

What's the matter, my lord?

In the article, "son-in-law" originally wanted to be replaced with "son-in-law", but the son-in-law came from the captain of the son-in-law, and there was no such official position at this time. On the contrary, the word son-in-law is older, and first appeared in "Historical Records Biography of Li Si Lie".
