Lian Po was slightly stunned, and then his face showed a touch of joy, "It turned out to be Miao Xian, this is even simpler, he has always been valued by my king, and I am quite familiar with him, when you want to see him, I will take you there." ”

The eunuch order is actually the chief eunuch and the leader of the eunuchs, but the eunuchs in the Warring States period are not like the eunuchs of later generations, they are all composed of castrated men, in addition to this type of people, there are also a considerable number of noble children and domestic slaves who have not yet reached adulthood.

Moreover, the eunuchs at this time did not have a low status like later generations, and were despised and ridiculed by other ministers in the court, as can be seen from Lian Po's attitude just now. In this regard, Zhao Fan is also quite familiar, especially this Miao Xian, who was very famous among the eunuchs in the pre-Qin period, so I will not mention this for the time being.

Zhao Fan was extremely surprised at this moment, and he suddenly said: "Uncle, I want to enter the palace to see this Miao Xian, and of course, Xu Jia's uncle." ”

……

The carriage slowly drove into the grand gate, and entered the square in front of the main hall through the circular alley-shaped doorway.

There are military halls on both sides of the gate, and a division of troops is stationed, commanded by a division commander, who saw that the person in the carriage was Lian Po, and after asking according to the usual rules, this made the twelve horsemen escort the carriage before and after, and galloped to the inner palace.

The palace of Zhao is extremely magnificent, resplendent with gold, carved railings and jade masonry, and the layout of "sleeping in the front and back of the dynasty" recorded in the historical books, the outer court is the place where the king of Zhao handles government affairs and holds court meetings, and the inner court is the bedroom of the king of Zhao and the concubines.

The three main halls of the front court are majestic and magnificent, located in the central axis of the opposite front door, and all kinds of official offices are on both sides; The back court is dominated by the three palaces of King Zhao and the queen, and the left and right sides are the east six palaces and the west six palaces, which are the palaces of the queen mother, concubines, concubines and princes.

Zhao Fan and Xu Jia sat in the carriage, watching along the way, only to see the palace, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions in the garden, platforms, corridors, etc., all of which were strictly lawless, the weather was solemn, and Lian Po often entered the palace.

The architectural forms of the inner court are more diverse than the outer court, the layout is compact, each group of buildings is a courtyard of its own, surrounded by courtyard walls, and there are tall palace walls in different sections.

"There is the palace where my king set up a banquet, built by King Wuling, and it is the most magnificent building in the Hou~ palace."

Lian Po looked at the wooden building road on the left, it is a three-story high-platform building, on the high platform is a two-story pavilion-style hall, on both sides of the hall and the east and west sides of the lower earthen platform, there are ten palace rooms of different sizes, there are bedrooms, rest rooms, bathing rooms, washrooms, etc., each room is connected by a corridor, a ramp. There are colorful murals on the wall, the steps of the cloister are paved with dragon and phoenix patterns or geometric pattern bricks, and the hall and the long steps are paved with square bricks, which is magnificent and magnificent.

"Okay, this is where Miao Xian lives, let's get off." When they went around to the door of a relatively remote courtyard, Lian Po also reminded that the three of them immediately jumped from the carriage.

This location should be where the eunuchs and maids in the palace live, and there are several courtyards nearby, which are so far away from the center of **, so the guard is not very strict, if there is no edict, if you want to approach the palace where King Zhao lives, even if it is an important minister like Lian Po, it is impossible.

In front of it is a rather wide courtyard, the overall appearance, the decoration is quite luxurious, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call it a mansion, it is the best place in this area, from this, it can also be seen that Miao Xian's status should not be very low.

"General Lian, why are you here?" As soon as Lian Po got out of the car, a steward outside Miao Xian's mansion suddenly shouted, listening to his tone, it seemed that he was quite familiar with the former, it seemed that Lian Po and Miao Xian should also have a good relationship, and often came to him.

"Hehe, Miao Xian, I have something to look for him."

"The adults are in the house, and the villain will lead you in."

After speaking, the steward also led the way in front and led everyone towards the mansion.

"Miao Xian is a eunuch who serves my king, and he is also his confidant, I have always supported King Zhao, so the relationship with Miao Xian is also quite good, and I often come here when I have time." Lian Po explained in a low voice as he walked.

Hearing this, Zhao Fan also nodded, and the three of them spoke, as the steward bypassed the hall, there were rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the steward led Lian Po and the others to a door, opened the door and said with a smile: "General, please come in."

Lian Po nodded, and took Zhao Fan and Xu Jia to step into the door, only to see the huge candles hanging on the four walls of the room, illuminating the room, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes and sitting behind the desk with a smile, seeing Lian Po come in, he quickly got up and greeted him.

"Why is General Lian here, don't tell me, I'll pick you up."

Zhao Fan knew that this person must be the eunuch Ling Miaoxian, listening to his voice, he was full of anger, and his body shape was also quite burly, it should be a eunuch who had not been cleaned, and immediately there was an unnatural mentality in his heart, which also faded.

"Hehe, they're all old friends, you're welcome." Lian Po smiled, "By the way, let me introduce, this is the son-in-law of my old friend Li Feng, Zhao Fan, and this is Xu Jia." ”

"Zhao Fan?" A hint of surprise flashed in Miao Xian's eyes, he glanced at Zhao Fan, and sighed: "Sure enough, he is a young hero, and his appearance is so extraordinary, no wonder even Fengyang Jun Li Dui and them have attracted attention." ”

Listening to his tone, I thought that I had also heard about Zhao Fan's deeds in Yunzhong County.

"Master Miao has an overreputation, and the little general's achievements are really not worth mentioning." Zhao Fan hurriedly said modestly.

Miao Xian smiled and nodded, didn't say anything more, turned to Lian Po and said, "How come the general has time to come to me today, aren't you preparing to lead the army to resist the Qin army?" ”

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that one of Xu Jia's uncles is your doorman here, and he finally came to Handan once, so I want to come and see him." Lian Po pointed at Xu Jia and said.

Hearing this, Miao Xian was also stunned, and then asked: "This is easy, what is your uncle's name, I will take you to see him." ”

"My uncle's name is Lin Xiangru, he came to Handan from Lin a few years ago, I don't know if Master Miao knows about him?" Xu Jia took a few steps forward and asked.

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Fan's face changed suddenly, and then a touch of ecstasy surged in his heart, it turned out to be really Lin Xiangru, in fact, when Xu Jia said that it was a doorman under Miao Xian just now, Zhao Fan thought of Lin Xiangru in his heart, because according to history, at this time, Lin Xiangru was indeed a doorman under Miao Xian, and like Xu Jia, a talented old friend whose father could have a deep friendship, how could he be an incompetent person?

"It turned out to be the same." Miao Xiandao. He naturally knows this person, and Lin Xiangru has been a doorman under him for several years, and Miao Xian also knows about his ability, so he values it very much.

"Since you're looking for similar people, then you can take them there, and I'll talk to General Lian here for a while." Miao Xian said to the steward outside the door, and after speaking, Zhao Fan and Li Mu also left the room, leaving Lian Po and Miao Xian.

Before Zhao Fan left, he saw that Miao Xian's expression was a little serious, and he should have discussed with Lian Po about this expedition to resist the Qin army. According to what he has seen so far, the current Zhao royal court should be divided into two factions, one faction supports King Zhao, and the other faction supports Li Dui.

King Zhao's age should be in his early twenties now, which is not too young. Moreover, King Zhao Huiwen is also a Ming monarch in the history of the Warring States, so in the current situation, this King Zhao Huiwen should have held part of the power, after all, there are people with a high status such as Lian Po Miaoxian in the court, and outside the court, there are old officers like Li Feng in the Wuling King period who support it.

It's just that Li Dui has big roots after all, so the main major events of Zhao State are still determined by him.

As Zhao Fan walked, he thought about these major events in the court. Although he is only a brigade commander now, and those things have nothing to do with him at all, Li Feng and Lian Po are extremely good to themselves, the two of them support King Zhao, and that Ye Fei is Li Dui's nephew, so Zhao Fan also faintly rejects Li Dui in his heart.

"Two little generals, it's here." Walking to the door of a rather simple courtyard, the steward said.

Zhao Fan was stunned, looked around left and right, and saw that there were some small courtyards and huts nearby, which were extremely simple, and the small courtyard in front of him where Lin Xiangru lived was considered good, and it could also be seen that Miao Xian still valued Lin Xiangru a lot.

In fact, the doormen of the Warring States period were also divided into grades, valued by the host, and the treatment was high, the lowest level was only to the extent of food and clothing, and the highest-level doormen had fish and cars.

Zhao Fan remembered that he had read in the book that Feng Tan during the Warring States Period first sang for "eating no fish" under Meng Weijun, then for "no car out", and then for his mother who had no one to support, and played the sword three times.

"Go in, it's like you're inside." The steward seemed to have something to do, and when he had said that, he left.
