Chapter 193: Pitching the pot

"Zhao Tuo."

"Zhao Tuo!"

Li You muttered the name as he threw the arrow in his hand at the pot in front of him.

The arrow flew out of Li You's hand, flew crookedly in the air for a distance, and finally fell on the edge of the pot, rolling around it, and the dozens of arrows scattered around it were companions.

Li You, who has always liked to throw pots, is not in good shape today, and there are only three or two arrows thrown into the pot.

"Arrows!"

Li You roared.

The attendant on the side hurriedly handed over the arrow in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Five doctors, there is only one arrow left." ”

"Five doctors?"

Hearing this, Li You's face instantly turned red, he glared at the attendant viciously, took the last arrow and threw it forward.

The arrow did not fall into the pot, but struck the pot so hard that it knocked over the entire copper kettle on the spot.

This arrow seemed to be pierced into the person Li You was thinking of in his heart.

"Zhao Tuo, what a five doctors!"

Li You's eyes were a little red.

Although it has been a long time since he knew that Zhao Tuo Xingyang was defeated and promoted to the fifth doctor, as long as Li You thought of this in his spare time, he couldn't hold back the burning flame in his heart.

A boy who is almost ten years younger than himself is the same title as himself in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, he was once his subordinate.

Li You's heart was full of jealousy.

But this is not the main reason for Li You's anger, Zhao Tuo's title is his own sword and halberd from the battlefield, no one can say one, two, three, Li You carefully studied Zhao Tuo's record on the battlefield, and couldn't help but admire.

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

Li You couldn't forget the eyes of those people looking at him from the dark.

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

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

"Zhao Tuo, why did you appear, why did you provoke her!"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

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

He waved his hand and asked the attendants in the room to retreat before saying to Li You: "You are still thinking about Zhao Tuo." ”

Li You gritted his teeth and said: "Because of this son's relationship, I am sitting on pins and needles in the palace, which is really hateful." ”

Li Si frowned, he knew about Zhao Tuo and the princess and Li You in his heart, but he never commented on this matter.

Now seeing that his son's mentality collapsed, he could only speak: "A mere woman, is it used like this?" Such self-confusion, resentment floating on the surface, what is this like, my son of Li Si should not be so shallow. ”

Li You's face was full of unwillingness.

"Father, that's a princess! I obviously said that I wanted to be a princess! ”

Li Si glared at him and said in a deep voice, "I tell you, the king has never promised this. It was only revealed to me many years ago that it meant it, so remember not to say such things outside. If it reaches the ears of the king, under the current circumstances, I am afraid that the king will think that my Li father and son are trying to use this matter to blackmail him! ”

"But...... But this matter has been passed on for so many years, and the king has never denied it, and now the entire Xianyang noble clan has long known about it. Li You whispered.

"That's because the king thinks that I, Li Si, are useful to the Qin State. At the beginning, the power of LΓΌ Buwei and Chang Yu was eliminated, and only Changping Jun Changwen was left in the court, and the king specially supported me and Wei Yi, Yao Jia and others to contain me, so he revealed to me the intention of marriage, which was to accept my heart. At the same time, I also think that you have a certain talent and can be recruited as a son-in-law. That's why I didn't care about it. ”

"You got drunk and spread this matter back then, if the king really wants to investigate it, don't talk about Princess Shang, I'm afraid that the title on your head will be cut off."

Hearing this, Li You shuddered.

Li Si said coldly: "In addition, Zhao Tuo is favored by the king, even if you have a grudge against him, you must not show it, otherwise it will only make the king look down on you." ”

"I don't want to make a feud with him, but the princess seems to be interested in him."

Li You said with a jealous face.

"Princess?"

Li Si sneered: "In vain, you have been a guard in the palace for so long, and you can't even see through such a simple thing." What if the princess is interested in him, could it be that the princess's marriage is something she can decide? ”

Li You was stunned.

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

"What if the princess is interested in that Zhao Tuo? If the king disagrees, what results can she have with Zhao Tuo? ”

"You, you, if you really want to be a princess, then you should be like Zhao Tuo, make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and use the most dazzling achievements to convince everyone. Let the king also think that you Li You is the best candidate for son-in-law! Instead of hiding in this mansion and getting angry, your appearance, let alone a king, even if I see it, I look down on it. ”

When his father said this, Li You's face turned red and said, "I also want to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield." I, Li You, am familiar with military books, and I have learned battlefield tactics with General Huan Qi, if I can go to the battlefield, I will definitely not be worse than that Zhao Tuo. It's just that I've been staying in the palace, and the king doesn't send me to the battlefield. ”

Lees smiled.

"That's what I'm looking for you today."

"The war in Wei is about to come to an end, and according to the military information that Wang Ben sent back before, the fall of Daliang will only be in the next few days. At that time, the Wei State is dead, and according to the plan set by the king and the princes, after the autumn harvest, a large army will be levied to attack Chu! ”

"In the battle of Chu, Changping Jun, who has the blood of the surname Mi, still asks for help, let alone our people from the Chu State. So this time, I have asked for your life to show my loyalty to the Li family. The king is approved, wait until the autumn harvest to launch the battle of Chu, you can follow Li Xin to lead the army to the battlefield, make meritorious contributions, and let the king look at you differently! ”

Li You was overjoyed and said: "Great, as long as I am given the opportunity to go to the battlefield, I will never be worse than that Zhao Tuo!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, I have something more happy to tell you." Li Si twisted his beard and sold Guanzi.

Li You became more and more surprised and asked, "Father, what is the good thing?" ”

"I asked for your life to go on the expedition, and the king was very pleased, and told me that you have been guarding the court for many years, and this time, he will give you a knighthood and be promoted to the rank of left chief, as a sign of grace." Li Si said lightly.

The next moment, Li You's whole body trembled with excitement.

"Zuo Shuchang!"

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

Li Si glanced at his excited son, shook his head, stepped forward slowly, re-erected the pot that had fallen to the ground, picked up an arrow in his hand, and walked into the distance.

He threw it lightly, and saw the arrow firmly inserted into the pot.

"Things in the world are like this pitching pot, only by finding the right position in the pot can you hit the target and go straight to the vital point. It is useless to throw indiscriminately everywhere else without aiming at the heart. ”

"So I told you just now, it doesn't matter who the princess likes. The important thing is who the king wants to come to Princess Shang, and the king's mind is the core of this pot. ”

"Now Zhao Tuo has just been promoted to the fifth doctor, the same level as you. The king took advantage of your many years of guarding to give you a knight, just to let you suppress that Zhao Tuo, don't you still understand the reason? ”

Li You was stunned, and then said in ecstasy: "I didn't expect the king to be so fond of me, it seems that the king's heart really belongs to me, hahaha, in this way, my title is above Zhao Tuo!" ”

"Zhao Tuo, I have the favor of the king, what do you use to compete with me for the princess!"

……

"For the edict of Lord Li Youci, has the Lord Lieutenant's Mansion been issued?"

Qin Palace, Qin Wangzheng looked up from the slip and asked Zhao Gao, who had just entered the house.

Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Your lord, the edict has been issued, and I think that in a few days, General Li Hu will be promoted to the rank of Zuo Shuchang." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded, and suddenly asked, "Do you wonder why I gave Li You a knight?" ”

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Qin Wangzheng's expression, and knew that the other party was deliberately asking, so he catered to him: "The subordinate is indeed quite confused. ”

Qin Wangzheng looked down at the slip on the case again, and at the same time said: "Zuo Shuchang is already regarded as the high lord of my Qin State, and the former Shang Jun presided over the reform plan of my Qin State, and it also started from Zuo Shuchang. This title is difficult to obtain unless it is a meritorious person. β€œ

"Although Li You has been in the palace for many years, his hard work could not have been promoted to this knighthood. But because of Zhao Tuo's kid, hehe......"

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

Zhao Gao thought for a moment and asked cautiously: "The minister heard that Zhao Tuo Xingyang won a great victory, and he has been promoted to the rank of five doctors, and he is the same lord as Li Hujiang. The king was promoted to the rank of General Li Hu today, did he want General Li Hu to suppress Zhao Tuo? ”

Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng laughed dumbly.

Let Li You suppress Zhao Tuo?

Zhao Tuo didn't press Li You, so it would be fine.

Zhao Tuo went to Wei and won a big victory in a blink of an eye, not only beheading thousands, but also capturing a prince of Wei.

This was nothing, Qin Wangzheng was actually happy to see these young people compete with each other.

The two are in the same title, fighting for a goal, and it's interesting to think about it.

But as the autumn harvest approached, the news reported by the Zhisu Inner History Office made Qin Wangzheng unable to sit still.

Although it is not yet the season of grain harvesting, the crops in the countless acres of fields in Guanzhong are indeed growing much better than before, and this year's grain output will certainly increase a lot compared with before.

"This method of soaking fertilizer is indeed of great benefit to my Qin State, and it is a real policy for the benefit of the country!"

Qin Wangzheng remembered the promise he made when Zhao Tuo presented this law.

For this kind of method that can greatly enhance the national strength of the Qin State, the Qin King will not hesitate to reward both public and private, and it is absolutely indispensable to give at least the first level of knighthood.

But in this way, there will be a very embarrassing thing, Zhao Tuo, who has been promoted to the fifth doctor, if he is given another level of knighthood, wouldn't it be Zuo Shuchang, who will press his old boss Li You at the first level.

Regarding the discord between Li You and Zhao Tuo, Qin Wangzheng knew very well that Zhao Tuo suppressed Li You, and he actually didn't care.

But I had to take into account Lees's thoughts.

Li Si has the talent to govern 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.

Yes, this is the reason why he gave Li You a knight.

"Hehe, when the time comes, both of them will be the title of Zuo Shu Chief, and they will fight Chu together. Competing in the same position is quite interesting. ”

Qin Wangzheng was complacent in his heart, looked at Zhao Gao's puzzled expression, and did not explain.

At this moment, there was a report from an attendant outside the door, saying that the Bang Wei Mansion had received an urgent military information from the big beam.

The battle of Wei is the most important thing in the Qin State, and there is a report from the Great Liang army, so naturally it cannot be delayed, and the Qin Wangzheng is busy asking Zhao Gao to get the silk book.

He couldn't wait to open it, but just after looking at the beginning, Qin Wangzheng's face showed a hearty smile.

"Today, there is no more Wei State."

When Zhao Gao, who was waiting beside him, heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations to the king, you have destroyed a country of ten thousand times, and you are one step closer to the great cause of unifying the world." ”

"Wang Jian father and son are very good, break Yan Zhao for me, destroy Wei State, and really be the pillar stone of the country......"

After reading the military intelligence report in front, Qin Wangzheng's eyes fell on the merits written by Wang Ben in the back.

Immediately after, the smile on his face froze.

"Promoted to a song army, captured the eastern border of Wei, defeated the Wei army after being ambushed, broke 6,000 from 5,000, and surrendered to the fleeing Wei Ningling Jun......"

"This kid...... How could this kid be so fast! ”

"It's a headache for the widow."

Qin Wangzheng took the silk book in his hand and looked at it again and again, with an expression of crying and laughing.

Zhao Gao's face was full of curiosity.

What's the matter, King?

In the article, the "son-in-law" originally wanted to be replaced with "concubine", but the concubine was from the concubine Duwei, and there was no official position at this time. On the contrary, the term son-in-law is a little older, and it first appeared in "Historical Records: The Biography of Lislie".

Thank you for the rampant eldest prince and the swifts in the storm of book friends, as well as the votes of all book friends, thank you!
