Chapter Sixty-Eight: I'm in the Palace
Compared with others, Li Tao, whose father was a small official in the yamen, can be said to be the highest-born, relatively speaking, his knowledge is also broader, living in the inner city, his father often takes him to the foot of the imperial city to wander, occasionally looking at the top corners of some buildings peeking out from the wall.
These entertainment activities since childhood made Li Tao very familiar with those particularly tall buildings in the palace, although he came to the palace at this moment, but after getting used to it for a while, he found that these are things that he often sees, but the distance is much closer.
Where am I?
I'm at the palace!
Li Tao almost struggled to admit this situation. After finally recognizing this reality, his body was almost stiff, the whole person was blindfolded, and his body just subconsciously ran forward with Xu Wen's pull.
"Hey, be sober, what's wrong with you" Xu Wen, who was pulling him, found that something was wrong and patted his face hard. There was some stinging force, which finally made Li Tao sober up a little.
"We're at the palace!" Glancing at him, Li Tao was a little dazed. It is a fact that the irritation on him has not subsided until now.
"Huh? What did you say? Xu Wen asked in surprise. He felt he had heard it wrong.
"I said, we're in the palace!" Facing the wind, Li Tao shouted loudly, and his words spread far away, so that almost everyone behind them heard them.
We are in the palace!
We are in the palace!
We are in the palace!
This sentence kept lingering in everyone's ears, and the clever ones had already reacted with their mouths wide open, and their brains had not yet turned around, and they had to recite it a few times before they understood the meaning of this sentence.
Palace? How could we be in the palace?
Is this the Imperial Palace?
It turned out that we were in the palace!
Sure enough, we are in the palace!
In vain, the entire team erupted into a huge wave of noise, and the sound of discussion one after another almost broke through the sky. The whole team was also a little messy because of the discussion, and even almost dispersed.
"All lined up, what's the mess!" An angry roar came from the left rear side of the team, and when they heard Zhu Youxiao's angry voice, all the teenagers trembled in their hearts, instinctively put away some random thoughts, and put their minds on the physical training in front of them. From the very beginning of the training, Zhu Youxiao's majesty was planted in their hearts.
Under Zhu Youxiao's control, the team reorganized and continued to run around the wall. The whole camp, which can accommodate 3,000 people and train in the queue, is very large. The circumference is almost more than a kilometer, and after running a lap, Zhu Youxiao did not stop, but continued to run.
The sound of rumbling footsteps continued unanswered, waking up a large number of people.
Looking at the long and neat procession that passed in front of me again, the forbidden soldiers waiting here had their mouths wide open, and they could almost swallow an egg.
"How did this soldier train, how can he keep a neat pace so consistently." One of the brightly armored leaders of the Praetorian Army asked incredulously. However, no one next to him could give an answer. The Praetorian Army also had drills, but never to that extent.
"Hey, what's the use of running neatly, is the other party really on the battlefield competing with you?" A middle-aged forbidden soldier shook the steel knife in his hand, and his tone was a little disdainful. It's just that his demeanor is a little empty, not as firm as his tone.
Is it really useless? I'm afraid he doesn't even believe it.
A group of figures also appeared outside the door of Ciqing Palace, it was Zhu Changluo, who was noisy by the rumbling, and he also came out to check what it was, making such a big noise. When he saw a neat group of running teenagers who made the movement, his expression was subtle, a little surprised, a little stunned, a little overwhelmed, and a little curious to see strange things.
"Eighth sister, look, that's Brother Taisun, Brother Taisun is leading the team to run and exercise." Zhu Youzhen's immature voice sounded next to him. He knew more than his father.
"Yes, yes, Brother Taisun is still whipping people, so majestic!" Zhu Huiyuan's eyes were almost popping up little stars, and she looked at the young man who was running last with a whip with a look of adoration. This young man is Li Tao, due to excessive shock, Xu Wen didn't hold him for a while, he himself didn't come back to his senses, and he fell to the end of the team all of a sudden, until he was woken up by Zhu Youxiao's whip.
Next to the two of them, there was Xi Li with an unhappy face, and the better Zhu Youxiao lived, the more sad she became. Especially in the bloody murder case two years ago, if it weren't for Liu Cheng next to Concubine Zheng Guifei who blocked the catastrophe for her, maybe she would have died in Huangquan at this time. Since then, Zhu Youxiao has become a thorn in her side.
"What is majestic, running with a group of vulgar people with their hair scattered, where is there a little bit of a dignified grandson. Zhen'er, Yuan'er, you can't learn from your unsuccessful brother. You know what? Looking at the two villains, Xi Li looked sour and mean, as long as she could slander Zhu Youxiao, she would not let it go.
"Got it, mother." was reprimanded by Xi Li. The two villains didn't have the excitement of seeing the big scene just now, and bowed their heads and obediently admitted their mistakes.
In the original history, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen's brothers were handed over to Xi Li to bring, and after Xi Li gave birth to a child, he couldn't take care of it, so he handed Zhu Youzhen over to Dong Li. However, at this time, I don't know if it's Zhu Youxiao's butterfly effect, or because of some of her own subtle and unpredictable thoughts, Zhu Youzhen has not let go since she was adopted, and has been until now.
Behind are the two princesses who are ranked fifth and sixth, their mothers have a low status, and even their lives are not easy. Looking at the grandson brother who was running freely, as well as the much-loved fifth brother and eighth sister, their little faces were full of envy and longing.
"Ahh Under the power of the whip, Li Tao screamed miserably and struggled to keep up with the team.
"Let your kid break the news!" After whipping Li Tao, Zhu Youxiao's heart was a lot more comfortable, he originally wanted to bring the team back and talk about it, but this kid said it all at once, and almost made the whole team break up. If this situation really occurs, it's okay to clean it up, but if it doesn't clean up, people will run around and break into places where they shouldn't go, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Maybe his team will have to be disbanded, and his ability will be questioned by Wanli. Now he is only eleven years old according to the algorithm of the Ming Dynasty, and his actual age is only ten years old, and he is not yet ten years old.
If it weren't for the amazing words and talent he had always shown since he was a child, it would have been impossible to convince Wanli to gather people to train a new army. Such an opportunity is very rare and there is absolutely no room for error. He also wants to ask Wanli for more rights with the good results of this training.
It is precisely because he is too young and Wanli still has four or five years to go that he is so obedient and has never dared to make any big moves. If it were the forty-eighth year of Wanli at this moment, his attitude would definitely be different.
After running three laps and almost five kilometers with the team, Zhu Youxiao finally gave an order and let the faction turn and walk into the gate of the camp. Compared with the somewhat dignified atmosphere when it came out, the team was much more relaxed at this time, and there was an atmosphere of shit luck everywhere.
After more than twenty minutes of running, even the most stupid people had already figured out what it meant to be in the palace by this time.
Hey, the palace hey, in addition to the emperor, the emperor who can live here is his son the prince, the prince is so old, he is definitely not the emperor, then it must be the prince.
The crown prince, if you can be the emperor in the future, follow the future emperor as a soldier, no loss, really no loss.
"When the prince pays the money, he must ask his father to repair the ancestral tomb of the family."
"There must have been green smoke on my family's ancestral grave that made me meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Let me tell you, my grandfather's grave must be covered with Ganoderma lucidum, otherwise how could I be chosen by His Royal Highness the Prince!"
This is the thought of all teenagers at this moment. If it weren't for the blessing of the ancestors, how could they have met the prince and been chosen. At that time, I don't know how many teenagers had the same fate as them, but they didn't choose at all.
"Drinking horses and fishing in the sea!" Li Yuyu's eyes were deep, and there were sparks in them that couldn't tell what they meant. His mouth was just repeating this sentence over and over again what the elders of the family had taught their two brothers.
"Hehe, the prince is good, the prince is good, there will be endless meat in the future." Li Tu smiled stupidly, he didn't know how his father raised him since he was a child, and the family was actually short of meat to eat by killing pigs.
"The Prince? No, the prince is much older than this, is it the grandson, but it doesn't look like the height, the grandson is only ten years old, how can he be about as tall as us? Li Tao's belly-filled group, who often recounted what his father had seen and heard in the court, was much smarter than other honest teenagers, and he liked to get to the bottom of it more.
"Look to the right, look forward, take a breath, stand upright, and report the number!" After a series of orders, the team that was a little messy just now instantly returned to leveling.
After finishing the team, Zhu Youxiao re-walked to the rostrum in the center of the school field. Standing on the platform, his gaze slowly swept over the young man below, and he was greeted by a pair of inquiring and inquiring eyes, mixed with heavy doubts. Until now, they still didn't believe that heavenly figures who they had only heard and seen in the drama would appear in front of them and become their instructors.
It's the greatest miracle in the world.
"Maybe, you already know, maybe you don't." Zhu Youxiao spoke slowly, his tone was very solemn, "Whether you know it or not, this palace will tell you my identity." I'm very satisfied with what you just did. ”
Hearing this, Li Tu's face was full of pride, just now he was the first to take the lead in picking up the spear.
"This palace is the grandson of the Ming Emperor, the son of the crown prince of the dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao, the grandson of the imperial emperor."
