The daily life of the eldest son
Chapter 40
As Ye Yi expected, the next month was uneventful, not to mention those who wanted to assassinate the prince, not even one of the thieves and robbers that we would encounter on the way in the past, so the team returned to Chang'an safely. city.
The first time he returned to Chang'an, Ye Yi didn't even return to the Ye Mansion, he went straight to the address the prince told him, but it was a pity that Ye Yi went there too late, and there was only an unrecognizable corpse left in the small courtyard.
This can't be an accident. Someone must not want him to know the truth back then, but who is obstructing him?To know that the person is hidden here, he must have picked up the note he lost on the day of hunting.Could it be that Lin Yu'er paid for the murder?But how could Lin Yuer get this address?
Lin Yu'er originally came from a small family, and she was not welcomed after entering the Ye family's door, so the Lin family didn't get any benefits. It was still just a small family doing small business, and no relatives entered the court as officials. Even if Lin Yuer was ruthless, neither she nor the Lin family had the ability to obtain information thousands of miles away, so it was impossible for Lin Yuer to know where the prince was hiding.
But if it wasn't Lin Yuer, who would it be?Who will get in the way of his Ye family's private affairs?
But no matter what, this matter came to an end after all. He lost the note himself and broke the clue. The prince's favor still has to be paid back. Ye Yi has no reason to reject the prince. On the third day after returning to Chang'an, The prince sent someone to take him into the East Palace and serve as the prince's Zuo Zhan.
As soon as Ye Yi heard about this position, Ye Yi was the first and the second.
The so-called Prince Zhan Shi is the head of the prince's subordinate officials, assisting the prince in handling all matters in the East Palace, and is also a counselor that the prince relies on.Zhanshi is divided into left and right, left Zhanshi leads Zuochunfang, and right Zhanshi leads Youchunfang, which are located on the left and right of Mingde Hall in the East Palace.
Ye Yi just felt that he couldn't even figure out the things at home, how could he take care of the East Palace?Not to mention that the incumbent You Zhan Shi in the Eastern Palace started as a recorder in Chunfang, and was promoted to You Zhan Shi based on his talent and learning.And he, who was transferred from Dali Temple to the East Palace, directly did Zuo Zhan's work, and his status was a little bit higher than that of You Zhan's. In addition, the prince treated him intimately, Ye Yi could already predict that he would be in the East Palace. No matter what the situation was, he was worried that he would be blocked and beaten to death by unconvinced people on the night road after entering the East Palace.
Holding the little leopard Xuanfeng who had grown up a lot, Ye Yi had a terrible headache.
A group of six rode horses into the Imperial City from Anshangmen, walked along the straight Anshangmen Street until the end, crossed the side street between the Imperial City and Miyagi, entered the East Palace from Jiafu Gate, and then passed through Chongming Gate and Jiade Through the gate, this leads to the Mingde Hall in the East Palace, where the prince used to meet the officials and hold important events.
After walking this distance, Ye Yi felt his head hurt even more.
Along the way, half of the imperial city knew that he entered the East Palace, and he did not enter the East Palace through the side entrance, but walked through three front doors, which is enough to show that the prince does not attach great importance to Ye Yi, and this attention is enough to attract people's attention .
After handing Xuanfeng to the guard Baizi, Ye Yi stepped into the Mingde Hall with a solemn expression, walked steadily to the seat of the prince, lifted his clothes, and bowed down solemnly.
"Minister Ye Yi, see Your Highness."
Seeing Ye Yi, the prince was in a good mood, with an unusual faint smile on his face.
"I have waited for you for a long time, and finally I hope you into the East Palace."
"I am terrified. Thanks to Your Highness for not giving up, I will do my best for His Highness, and I will never hesitate to die." Ye Yi originally thought of a set of eloquent and touching words for himself, but after reading it twice, he felt that the number of words was too much. Trouble, so it was condensed into one sentence.
But no matter what Ye Yi said, the prince would be happy.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Yi stood up calmly, raised his head and glanced left and right, only to find that there were more people sitting on the left and right sides than he had imagined, presumably the crown prince had summoned all the people who had some power in the East Palace.
Seeing Ye Yi's eyes flickering here and there, the prince introduced: "These are colleagues who will work with you in the future, you should first recognize what they all look like, and leave the rest for you later. Slowly understand. Sitting over there is the young Zhan Shi Lu Ning of Zuo Chunfang, and he will assist you in the future. There is also Cui Liang, the right Zhan Shi."
The two people whose names were called stood up one by one, and greeted Ye Yi with a nod. Ye Yi returned the salute. The three of them gave a few simple words of courtesy, and the two sat down one after another.
Satisfied with Ye Yi's calm performance, the crown prince gave a few more instructions and asked Ye Yi to sit down next to Lu Ning and discuss matters together.
After sitting down, Ye Yi didn't say a word, just sat quietly and listened quietly, trying to match everyone's faces with their positions as much as possible, and trying his best to get the most from the short words. Knowing the personalities of these people, although they seemed relaxed without participating in the discussion, Lu Ning, who was sitting next to Ye Yi, could tell that Ye Yi had never been relaxed for a moment, and the things in his mind might be more important than those sitting here. More than any one person.
In just a short hour, Lu Ning seemed to understand why the prince had to be obsessed with this former young minister of Dali Temple.
Finally, the morning court in the East Palace was over, Ye Yi rubbed his forehead, and walked out of the palace while thinking about things.
"Lord Ye." Lu Ning chased up from behind, reaching out to pat Ye Yi on the shoulder, but saw a small black head protruding from Ye Yi's arms, threatening him with bared teeth.
Interrupted by Xuanfeng's grunt from his throat, Ye Yi turned his head curiously, wanting to see who Xuanfeng was intimidating, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Ning staring at Xuanfeng with shining eyes.
"Is something wrong, Shao Zhan?"
Following Ye Yi's turn, Xuanfeng also turned around, and continued to stare at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning pointed at Xuanfeng, and asked with interest: "Is this Master Ye's pet? Is it a leopard?"
Ye Yi patted Xuanfeng's head to comfort Xuanfeng, and said with a smile: "Well, it's a little leopard, it was picked up by Yu Linwei in Mount Tai, and I will take care of it for the time being."
Lu Ning took two steps closer, and stretched out his hand to touch Xuanfeng, but Xuanfeng stared at Lu Ning's hand, and when the hand was close to his eyes, Lu Ning opened his mouth and bit it down, thinking that he would not be bitten.
"Xuanfeng!" Fortunately, Ye Yi reacted quickly, taking two steps back to open the distance.
Lu Ning stared blankly at his hand, and after a long time he shivered, and withdrew his hand.
Sure enough, you can't just play with the beast, even though it looks very cute when it stays in the arms of its owner.
Xuanfeng who was reprimanded whimpered, turned his head and buried himself in Ye Yi's arms.
Ye Yi stroked Xuanfeng's head, and smiled apologetically at Lu Ning: "I'm really sorry, this little guy is a bit of a stranger."
"It's okay, it's all my fault." Lu Ning smiled nonchalantly, "By the way, Lord Ye was on his first day in office, the official stopped him because he wanted to ask if he wanted to take him around the East Palace. "
Ye Yi was about to answer, but someone preempted him.
"Let's get busy with Shao Zhan's affairs, I will guide Zuo Zhan's affairs."
Startled by the sudden appearance of the prince, Lu Ning looked back and forth between the prince and Ye Yi, secretly thinking about how to overestimate Ye Yi's weight in the prince's heart by two points.
Before Ye Yi could refuse, Cui Liang, who was with the prince, tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness is busy with official duties, so we can leave such trivial matters to Shao Zhan. How can His Highness bother you?"
But the prince didn't take it seriously and said: "I have already spared all the time for today. Go get busy."
Ye Yi said awkwardly: "I am afraid and dare not bother Your Highness, so I can just let Shao Zhan Shi lead the way. I still want to ask Shao Zhan Shi for advice."
The prince looked at Ye Yi, said with a faint smile, "Is there anyone who knows more about the things in the East Palace than this Palace? Let's go."
Before the words fell, the prince had already taken a step ahead.
Ye Yi had no choice but to send Xuanfeng into Baizi's arms again, and said: "Baizi, you and Shao Zhan can go to Zuochunfang and wait for me, don't let Xuanfeng run around."
"Yes, this subordinate understands." Bai Zi hugged Xuan Feng, but Xuan Feng struggled in Bai Zi's arms.
Fearing that Bai Zi would not be able to see Xuanfeng, Ye Yi instructed again: "If you can't see it, take it to Tang Xiao."
After speaking, Ye Yi hurriedly caught up with the prince.
As Ye Yi ran away, Xuanfeng screamed even more miserably, but no matter how he screamed, Ye Yi did not come back, Xuanfeng bit Baizi's arm with one bite.
Bai Zi looked down at the black Xuanfeng, then turned his head to look at Lu Ning, and said, "Excuse me, where is Zuo Chunfang?"
He remembered that Second Young Master Tang said that he would come to the East Palace today, so he should be waiting at Zuochunfang, right?
Following Lu Ning to Zuochunfang, Bai Zi saw Tang Xiao not long after.
"Where's Brother Yi?" Entering Zuo Chunfang but only seeing Bai Zi and Xuan Feng, Tang Xiao frowned and his face turned cold.
"Back to Second Young Master, Young Master and the Crown Prince have gone down to familiarize themselves with the terrain of the Eastern Palace."
"Familiar with the terrain of the East Palace?" Tang Xiao's face turned cold again.
It has never been heard that any official of the East Palace who wants to be familiar with the terrain of the East Palace is led by the prince himself. Where does the prince want to lead Brother Yi?
"Give me Xuanfeng."
"Yes." Bai Zi handed Tang Xiao the Xuan Feng who had been gnawing on his arm without hesitation.
Fortunately, he had learned a lesson from being bitten earlier, and he specially wore felt armguards on the part of his arm that might be bitten by Xuanfeng.
Tang Xiao took Xuanfeng and put Xuanfeng on the ground.
As soon as all four feet touched the ground, Xuanfeng ran out in a hurry, Tang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and followed Xuanfeng.
After all, Xuanfeng was still young when he was caught. After being raised by Ye Yi's side for a month, he became close to Ye Yi. Those who must be by Ye Yi's side, only by following Ye Yi can Xuanfeng feel safe.
Therefore, if you follow Xuanfeng, you will definitely find Ye Yi.
Sure enough, Xuanfeng saw Ye Yi after turning a few corners in the East Palace, and threw himself on him with joy.
His leg was suddenly hugged by something, Ye Yi looked down, and saw Xuanfeng standing beside his leg, holding his leg with two front paws, not letting go, looking up at him and calling out.
"Xuanfeng?" Ye Yi looked behind him again, and saw Tang Xiao chasing after him out of breath, "A Xiao? Why are you here?"
Tang Xiao panted heavily with one hand on his hip, walked up to the prince and Ye Yi, and knelt down on one knee.
"Minister Tang Xiao, from today on, I will be transferred to the East Palace, and will serve as the Crown Prince's personal guard Zhonglang General. This is an order from the Ministry of Officials." As he spoke, Tang Xiao took out a booklet from the Ministry of Officials from his pocket.
The prince took the booklet with a dark face, opened it and looked at it, it was indeed a formal transfer order.
"I've never heard of this matter. What about the former Zhonglang General?"
Tang Xiao lowered his head and replied: "His Royal Highness, I heard that I have been transferred to the left guard."
He still asked his father to adjust it.
The prince stared at Tang Xiao coldly, and handed the folder in his hand to Ye Yi: "You take this, and Lu Ning will tell you how to deal with it."
"Yes, Your Highness." Ye Yi took the notebook and stuffed it into his arms.
Seeing that Tang Xiao was still kneeling in front of him, the prince cast a sideways glance at Ye Yi, and said to Tang Xiao, "Back off, it's none of your business here."
Tang Xiao still knelt on the ground and said sincerely: "I heard that Master Zhan Shi is familiarizing himself with the terrain of the East Palace. I wonder if His Highness will allow me to go with you? The East Tour case has not yet been concluded, and there are no clues. I think the East Palace needs to be more vigilant."
Tang Xiao's reason was legitimate and reasonable, and the most important thing was to get Ye Yi's approval.
Sure enough, after Tang Xiao finished speaking, Ye Yi saw that the prince was hesitant, so he persuaded him: "Your Highness, I agree with General Zhonglang. The enemy is dark, we are clear, we should strengthen our vigilance."
From the standpoint of business affairs, the prince had no reason to refuse Tang Xiao, and if Ye Yi spoke again, the prince would not be able to refuse.
Nodding his head, the prince said with depression in his heart: "You two are right. I will leave the defense of the East Palace to General Zhonglang. I believe that Zhonglang will not disappoint me."
"The minister should go all out." Tang Xiao said sonorously.
"Well, let's get up." The prince turned around and continued walking, but his mood was not as good as before.
As soon as Tang Xiao stood up, he saw Ye Yi was waiting for him with Xuanfeng in his arms, with a smile on his face.
Tang Xiao smiled unconsciously, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to Ye Yi, and said, "Give me Xuanfeng, don't let it hurt Your Highness."
"it is good."
This is the second time Ye Yi saw Tang Xiao at work. The first time was on the way to Yanzhou, watching from a height how Tang Xiao dispatched troops in the small courtyard of the post station. That was the first time he realized When Tang Xiao grew up, it was also the first time that he felt that there was something about Tang Xiao that he didn't understand.It was also that night that he had a dream that haunted him for a long time.
This time was the second time, but Ye Yi only felt it was a novelty.His recent joy in life is to discover the faces of Tang Xiao that he has never seen before.
It's a pity that the prince is still there, otherwise he would have been able to tease Tang Xiao well.
Ye Yi patted Xuanfeng's little head, and followed the prince's footsteps full of regret.
Seeing Ye Yi leave again, Xuanfeng opened his mouth to bite Tang Xiao, but suddenly he shook, turned his head and met Tang Xiao's slightly angry eyes, and the trembling became even stronger. With a whimper, he obediently lay down in Tang Xiao's arms.
Only then did Tang Xiao stroke the smooth hair on Xuanfeng's body, and heeled up to the prince and Ye Yi in front of him.
As a prince, Nanrong Qingxia has to bear all kinds of attention from people since she was a child, like or dislike, friendliness or hostility, Nanrong Qingxia feels that she should get used to it long ago, and she should be able to face things calmly now, But after he got to know Tang Xiao, and after Tang Xiao always stared at him inexplicably, he didn't understand what it means to be like a man on his back.
When we first met, Nanrong Qingxia only felt that Tang Xiao standing next to Ye Yi had no sense of existence, he didn't speak or move, so he just followed Ye Yi silently, completely dependent on his brother younger brother.
But I don't know when it started, even if Tang Xiao didn't speak, he was full of courage. It was very difficult for Nanrong Qingxia to ignore him. It was hard to tell whether it was anger or jealousy, but when Nanrong Qingxia When he turned his head to look at Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao's eyes were blank as usual, and he couldn't grasp the reason at all, which made Nanrong Qingxia unable to complain to Ye Yi.
So the relationship between the two people who rarely communicates with each other has continued to this day. Nanrong Qingxia obviously enjoyed the time spent with Ye Yi, but if Tang Xiao was there, even if Tang Xiao didn't know anything. Said, even if Tang Xiao didn't do anything, he couldn't enjoy it at all, because Tang Xiao's eyes made him feel like a light.
Finally led Ye Yi around the East Palace. Originally, he wanted to share lunch with Ye Yi, but he couldn't think of a reason to drive Tang Xiao away. Nanrong Qingxia simply gave up this idea and said goodbye to Ye Yi. Yi, went to Yiqiu Palace to find the concubine to comfort his soul.
Ye Yi and Tang Xiao walked back side by side. Ye Yi squinted his eyes and looked ahead, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he asked Tang Xiao, "Do you still remember the place you turned around just now?"
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "I remember it all."
"Then I'll go with you to the Qinwei Mansion now." After speaking, Ye Yi glanced at Tang Xiao's arms, and said in surprise, "Why didn't Xuanfeng bite you?"
Tang Xiao turned to look at Ye Yi, dissatisfied: "Brother Yi, do you want me to be bitten?"
"That's not true," Ye Yi shook his head, "I just find it strange that it clearly sees who bites whom."
"At any rate, I helped take care of it for a month." If he dared to bite him, he would send the little guy back to the mountains!
"That's right." Ye Yi nodded.
The Guard's Mansion in the East Palace is in the northeast corner of the imperial city, because Tang Xiao had already reported to the prince's left and right guards before going to see Ye Yi, so he and Ye Yi went straight to the Guard's Mansion right now .
After Ye Yi and Tang Xiao arrived, they knocked on the door for a long time, but failed to knock on the door of the Qinwei Mansion. Ye Yi put his ears on the door and listened, then smiled and hugged Xuanfeng from Tang Xiao's arms.
"It seems that they don't welcome the new General Zhonglang." Ye Yi stood beside Xuanfeng with his arms in his arms, with an expression of waiting for a good show.
Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi, then at the closed door, and said in a deep voice, "It's good that the soldiers and generals are united and have a good relationship, but it's not good if they don't distinguish between public and private."
As soon as the words fell, Tang Xiao kicked open the door of the Qinwei mansion.
Ye Yi only heard a loud "bang", the wooden latch on the inside of the gate broke in two, the gate opened suddenly and hit the walls on both sides.
Probably no one thought that someone would dare to kick open the gate of the prince's personal guard mansion, so those people in the personal guard mansion who were still laughing and mocking Tang Xiao were all dumbfounded and stared blankly at the moment when the guard mansion became The very fragile door, and the Tang Xiao who was walking out of the door was slightly different from their imagination.
Tang Xiao approached the courtyard of the Qinwei Mansion calmly, and looked at the few people in the courtyard with cold eyes.
"How many people are there in the Qinwei Mansion?"
The people in the Guard's Mansion finally came back to their senses, looked at Tang Xiao and sneered, and said, "How many people in our Guard's Mansion have nothing to do with you? Where did you come from?"
The guards in the East Palace are all descendants of the royal family, and they are no worse than Tang Xiao in terms of status. The former Zhonglang will be able to control them because of his seniority, and because of the long time spent together. Yes, ability is recognized.
But the soldiers and generals in this mansion are getting along well with each other, but there is a sudden change. The original Zhonglang general has been transferred away, but the new Zhonglang general is only 19 years old?Even if he is Tang Taiwei's grandson, but he is only 19 years old and he knows nothing!So the people in the Qinwei Mansion decided to make Tang Xiao look good, absolutely until Tang Xiao asked for a transfer!
Too lazy to respond to the other party's naive provocation, Tang Xiao saw that there was no one in the yard who could speak seriously, so he raised his feet and strode forward, walking straight to the room in front of him.
"Hey, kid!" Seeing that Tang Xiao rushed in without even replying, several people in the yard immediately surrounded him, "Who are you kid? Where do you want to go? Where is our personal guard mansion?"
As he said that, someone put his hand on Tang Xiao's shoulder.
Tang Xiao's eyes tightened, and he grabbed the opponent's wrist with lightning speed, and twisted it in the opposite direction, only to hear a weak and crisp "click", followed by the man's cry of pain.
"Ah! My hand... my hand is broken... this boy! Beat him! Beat him!"
My brother was injured, so naturally he couldn't stand by and watch, so a group of guards yelled and prepared to beat Tang Xiao.
Ye Yi entered the door leisurely, and sat on the steps of the Qinwei mansion with Xuanfeng in his arms.
"Xuanfeng, how long do you think it will take A Xiao to knock down everyone in the Qinwei Mansion? En?" Ye Yi pinched Xuanfeng's two front paws, smiling like a spring breeze, "I said two minutes A clock is enough."
Because of the fight in the yard, more and more people came out of the Guard's Mansion, and when they saw their brother being beaten up miserably by a kid who didn't know where they came from, they joined the battle one after another.
There are usually about a hundred people in the guard mansion of the Eastern Palace. Excluding those who are on duty in the Eastern Palace at this time and those who go home to rest, there are only about thirty people left.
It's not a problem for Tang Xiao to fight with one against thirty, but after all, he is full of blood, and he can't control his strength after the fight. Originally, he didn't want to see blood, because there was no need to see blood, but when he got excited, he didn't have a shot Seriously, how many people were seriously injured.
Smelling the bloody smell mixed into the air, Xuanfeng's eyes were also bright, staring at Tang Xiao's direction, screaming, although he struggled to run over to get involved, he was still suppressed by Ye Yi .
It would be bad enough for Tang Xiao to get so excited that he lost control of these people in the Qinwei Mansion. If Xuanfeng is allowed to pass by, then the Qinwei Mansion will be called a disaster of blood today.No matter how small Xuanfeng is, he is still a leopard.
"A Xiao, there is still time for a stick of incense." About two quarters of an hour was almost here, and Ye Yi loudly reported the time to Tang Xiao.
"What?" Tang Xiao was a little confused when he heard the time report.
Why is there still a time limit?
Ye Yi ignored Tang Xiao's confusion and urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late."
When Tang Xiao heard it, he didn't care about 21 [-], just hit harder.
So Ye Yi got a very satisfactory result, Tang Xiao knocked down everyone in the prince's personal guard mansion within two quarters of an hour.
Seeing that none of the people lying on the ground could stand up again, Ye Yi walked up to Tang Xiao, and asked with a smile, "Is anyone seriously injured?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao frowned dissatisfiedly, and said, "Brother Yi, don't you care if I'm injured or not?"
"Will you get hurt?" Ye Yi's smile was a little more smug.
Ye Yi's trust and disguised admiration benefited Tang Xiao very much, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a very faint happy smile.
Ye Yi couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed Tang Xiao's head, and said with a smile, "Do you remember the terrain of the Eastern Palace?"
Tang Xiao nodded, confidently said: "Of course I remember."
"Then go in and find a quiet place, and draw the picture first." After speaking, Ye Yi walked towards the big house in front.
Tang Xiao glanced at the thirty or so people lying on the ground, and seeing that none of them were seriously injured, he followed Ye Yi's footsteps with peace of mind.
"Hey... what's going on with these two people..." Lang Jiang Qin Chuan of the Qinwei Mansion finally stood up unsteadily, "You guys can still get up and find a doctor to heal the brothers. Follow up and have a look."
"Yes..." A group of people answered feebly, with howls of pain.
The structure of the Qinwei Mansion is very simple. There is a courtyard after entering the door, and then there is a big house. The tables and chairs are neatly arranged in the big house. It looks like a place for receiving guests. Passing through the big house, there is another small courtyard. The main room is divided into three parts: left, middle and right. The middle part is the hallway for walking. The two sides look like offices, while the wing rooms on both sides are the resting places for the guards. There are simple beds. From this hallway to the end of the Guard's Mansion, there is a spacious training ground. The space is not too big, but it is enough for the guards to use for daily training.
Ye Yi and Tang Xiao walked all the way to check around, and finally turned into a place that looked like a study room. They took a pen and paper and used it. Ye Yi took the pen and drew the frame of the East Palace first.
"Hey! You two trespassed in the important place of the Qinwei Mansion..." Qin Chuan who caught up was about to accuse the two people who ran around in the Qinwei Mansion with righteous words, but Tang Xiao gave him a glare. So he told Qin Chuan to silence.
Looking away, Tang Xiao looked at the frame on the paper, pointed to a certain place and said, "This is where His Highness and concubines live, so don't worry about it for now."
"En." Ye Yi picked up the pen, made a big cross in the area Tang Xiao pointed out, and then moved the pen to another place, "There are two palace gates here, the south of the palace gate, from west to east are the inner palace gates. Fang, Ming Fuyuan and Dianshan Kitchen, Guangtian Temple is here."
Tang Xiao then pointed to somewhere and added: "There is a small door on the east side of Dianshan Kitchen, not a palace gate, it seems to be used for transporting vegetables and fruits?"
Ye Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't the Guanglu Temple managing the ingredients in the East Palace?"
"It's under the management of Guanglu Temple," Qin Chuan interjected unconsciously, "but for the convenience of transportation, the peasants send them into the East Palace through that small gate, and they are transported separately from those in the palace. sent out of the East Palace."
Ye Yi and Tang Xiao looked at Qin Chuan in surprise, and then buried themselves in drawing again.
Qin Chuan scratched his head, and walked to the table in a few steps. Originally, he just wanted to see what Ye Yi and Tang Xiao were doing, but after watching, he interrupted unconsciously, so the work of the two became three I'm working on it personally, and within an hour, the topographic map of the Eastern Palace will be drawn.
Memorize it again, recall it again, and draw it again. Now Ye Yi has a general grasp of the situation in the East Palace.
Leaving Tang Xiao a glance, Ye Yi asked nonchalantly, "Guards of the East Palace, how do you plan to arrange it?"
Tang Xiao stared at the picture, then pointed to the position on the picture and said: "There are not many ways for strangers to sneak into the East Palace. The Jiafu Gate and Chongming Gate on the front do not need to be changed, and the Jiade Gate and Youyongfu Gate need to be slightly more vigilant." , the northernmost Xuande Gate is directly connected to the residence of His Highness and concubines, if it is according to my heart, it would be best to seal it off."
Hearing this, Ye Yi chuckled, and said: "You have a great idea, just seal the doors on all sides of the East Palace, then you don't even need guards."
Tang Xiao curled his lips and said, "I've thought about it."
"Fortunately, there are not many palace gates in the East Palace, so it is necessary to strengthen patrols. I will go to Zuochunfang to discuss with Lu Ning later to see if we need to recount and record all the maids and servants serving in the East Palace. The entry and exit of these people must be strictly controlled. Take control." Sighing, Ye Yi still felt a headache, "In short, you just need to pay more attention than usual to His Highness's basic necessities of life."
"Okay, I see." Tang Xiao nodded.
Ye Yi got up and asked Tang Xiao, "Are you going back to the Tang Mansion today? Or live in the East Palace?"
Tang Xiao replied as a matter of course: "Finally, I don't have to go home anymore, why should I go back?"
Ye Yi shook his head and laughed, and said: "If my aunt hears this, she will be sad. Come on, then I'll go back to Zuo Chunfang first, you can do your work."
Patting Tang Xiao on the shoulder, Ye Yi walked away.
Qin Chuan stared blankly at Ye Yi's hurried back, and said in disbelief, "He, did he leave just like that?" Come as soon as you say, leave as soon as you say?
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao turned to look at Qin Chuan, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there a problem?"
Qin Chuan choked, his aura halved immediately, and said, "Yes, yes... who is he?"
"It's about the new crown prince Zuo Zhan. Are there any questions?" Tang Xiao stared straight at Qin Chuan.
"Uh... no...probably..." Qin Chuan scratched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help admiring the courageous eyes of the newly appointed General Zhong Lang.
Only then did Tang Xiao retract his gaze and continue to study the picture on the table. He suddenly remembered the person he had injured before, so he looked at Qin Chuan again and asked, "Are any of those people seriously injured enough to affect their duty? ?”
Qin Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
Tang Xiao turned his eyes back to the picture again, and said, "Go to the training ground when you have time."
"...Yes." Qin Chuan scratched his head, wondering if Tang Xiao was really only 19 years old.
People in the Qinwei Mansion are all people from official families. Most of them were fifteen or sixteen years old when they entered the mansion, and some were sent later at the age of eighteen or nineteen. They all still have the youthfulness of a teenager, maybe ignorant, maybe arrogant, but no one who is eighteen or nineteen has Tang Xiao's bearing, which looks different from ordinary people.
Seeing Qin Chuan standing by the side all the time, Tang Xiao turned his head and asked in puzzlement, "Is there anything else?"
"Eh..." Qin Chuan scratched the corner of his mouth and asked cautiously, "You... don't you have anything to ask me?"
Tang Xiao thought for a while, but was still at a loss: "For example?"
"For example, who is the most powerful in our Qinwei Mansion, and how can we get along well with other people...Any questions are welcome." Qin Chuan looked at Tang Xiao with bright eyes, as if asking questions.
Then Tang Xiao couldn't understand Qin Chuan's eagerness to be relied on, raised his brows slightly, and asked, "These...do I need to know?"
"No, no?" Qin Chuan blinked.
"Is there?" Tang Xiao really didn't know if it was necessary for him to ask these questions.
"Probably...not." Qin Chuan was defeated.
Tang Xiao looked at Qin Chuan in confusion, curled his lips, and said, "Since you are still standing here, then inform the whole body of the Qinwei Mansion that those who are not in the rest period and who are not on duty tonight will gather at the training ground tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Qin Chuan was stunned, "Why?"
Tang Xiao asked back: "What else can I do in the training ground?"
Qin Chuan stared at Tang Xiao dumbfounded.The new Zhong Lang will not want to drill them, will he?Is it really okay to fight against your subordinates like this?
"This... isn't it good?" Qin Chuan tried to remind Tang Xiao.
"Why?" The personal guard is also a regular soldier who has joined the military. Is it so unbelievable that regular soldiers get up early to practice?
Qin Chuan didn't know how to answer.
Why?How does he know why?It's just that their Qinwei Mansion has never had a tradition of getting up early to practice, and who wants to get up early in the morning to practice hard?This Zhonglang general has just taken office, and he hasn't established a good relationship with other people, and he hasn't been convinced by others. If he practices this, he will definitely make everyone angry.
"Forget it," Tang Xiao said, unwilling to waste any more time with Qin Chuan, "I will discuss with His Highness directly about the drill."
Qin Chuan was stunned again.Didn't you ask the left and right guards first?Is this going to discuss with His Highness directly?
"Well...do you want to discuss it with Zuo Zhanshi first?" According to Qin Chuan's observation just now, Zuo Zhanshi seems to be more reasonable, and it can be seen that their Zhonglang will have a good relationship with Zuo Zhanshi .
Tang Xiao was startled, and turned to look at Qin Chuan suspiciously.
This person has been arguing beside him since just now, what exactly is he trying to do?Want to fight again after a fight?But this is not a provocation before the quarrel.What is he going to do?
Qin Chuan was confused by Tang Xiao, but he didn't leave. He just stood there and looked at Tang Xiao with an embarrassed smile.
Unable to see why, Tang Xiao handed to Qin Chuan the picture he had drawn earlier and the defense method he had written just now.
"how about this?"
Qin Chuan took the two pieces of paper blankly, looked at them one by one, and asked in surprise: "Is this a new defense arrangement? It is much more thorough than the previous one."
Tang Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief after getting the senior's approval, and asked, "Is it feasible in terms of numbers?"
Qin Chuan silently calculated, and said: "It's feasible. The number of the 'ten guards' in the East Palace is quite large. Although the responsibilities are slightly different, they can be dispatched in a special period." But is it a special period now?Why strengthen the defense?
"Really." Tang Xiao nodded.
It turned out that he could be transferred in a unified manner, but now he is only a general in the Qinweifu, so it is impossible to transfer other guards, right?In this way, there are really not many people he can dispatch under his command, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
Touching his chin, Tang Xiao considered a way to get promoted quickly.
Afterwards, Tang Xiao and Qin Chuan made more strict adjustments to the new defense arrangements in the study, and Qin Chuan was convinced by the short time they spent together.
Qin Chuan thought that even though Taiwei Tang was strict with the soldiers in the barracks, he loved his grandson after all. Otherwise, how could he ask a 19-year-old kid to come to the Prince's Guard Mansion as a general? But after this discussion, Qin Chuan saw Tang Xiao's excellence, and even he, who thought he had experience and qualifications, was willing to bow down.
But Tang Xiao's frankness was a bit unsophisticated, which also opened Qin Chuan's eyes, so after discussing the deployment arrangement, Qin Chuan urged Tang Xiao to go to Zuo Chunfang to find Ye Yi.
If there is no one to teach him well, even Tang Xiao's martial arts skills will be at a disadvantage sooner or later.
Tang Xiao didn't care, so he took Qin Chuan to Zuochunfang. Once he entered Zuochunfang, he heard that Ye Yi and Lu Ning were bored in the study all afternoon. Tang Xiao's face darkened. , striding towards Zuo Chunfang's study.
Brother Yi, why can he always be alone with men so easily?
"Brother Yi!" Pushing open the door of the study, Tang Xiao felt relieved when he saw the scene in the study.
In the study room, Ye Yi was sitting behind the desk, Lu Ning was sitting in front of the desk, and besides the paper, pen and scroll, there was also a black leopard lying on its stomach. At this time, the little leopard was staring at Lu Ning, licking its mouth frequently, It looks like I want to take a bite.
The first time he returned to Chang'an, Ye Yi didn't even return to the Ye Mansion, he went straight to the address the prince told him, but it was a pity that Ye Yi went there too late, and there was only an unrecognizable corpse left in the small courtyard.
This can't be an accident. Someone must not want him to know the truth back then, but who is obstructing him?To know that the person is hidden here, he must have picked up the note he lost on the day of hunting.Could it be that Lin Yu'er paid for the murder?But how could Lin Yuer get this address?
Lin Yu'er originally came from a small family, and she was not welcomed after entering the Ye family's door, so the Lin family didn't get any benefits. It was still just a small family doing small business, and no relatives entered the court as officials. Even if Lin Yuer was ruthless, neither she nor the Lin family had the ability to obtain information thousands of miles away, so it was impossible for Lin Yuer to know where the prince was hiding.
But if it wasn't Lin Yuer, who would it be?Who will get in the way of his Ye family's private affairs?
But no matter what, this matter came to an end after all. He lost the note himself and broke the clue. The prince's favor still has to be paid back. Ye Yi has no reason to reject the prince. On the third day after returning to Chang'an, The prince sent someone to take him into the East Palace and serve as the prince's Zuo Zhan.
As soon as Ye Yi heard about this position, Ye Yi was the first and the second.
The so-called Prince Zhan Shi is the head of the prince's subordinate officials, assisting the prince in handling all matters in the East Palace, and is also a counselor that the prince relies on.Zhanshi is divided into left and right, left Zhanshi leads Zuochunfang, and right Zhanshi leads Youchunfang, which are located on the left and right of Mingde Hall in the East Palace.
Ye Yi just felt that he couldn't even figure out the things at home, how could he take care of the East Palace?Not to mention that the incumbent You Zhan Shi in the Eastern Palace started as a recorder in Chunfang, and was promoted to You Zhan Shi based on his talent and learning.And he, who was transferred from Dali Temple to the East Palace, directly did Zuo Zhan's work, and his status was a little bit higher than that of You Zhan's. In addition, the prince treated him intimately, Ye Yi could already predict that he would be in the East Palace. No matter what the situation was, he was worried that he would be blocked and beaten to death by unconvinced people on the night road after entering the East Palace.
Holding the little leopard Xuanfeng who had grown up a lot, Ye Yi had a terrible headache.
A group of six rode horses into the Imperial City from Anshangmen, walked along the straight Anshangmen Street until the end, crossed the side street between the Imperial City and Miyagi, entered the East Palace from Jiafu Gate, and then passed through Chongming Gate and Jiade Through the gate, this leads to the Mingde Hall in the East Palace, where the prince used to meet the officials and hold important events.
After walking this distance, Ye Yi felt his head hurt even more.
Along the way, half of the imperial city knew that he entered the East Palace, and he did not enter the East Palace through the side entrance, but walked through three front doors, which is enough to show that the prince does not attach great importance to Ye Yi, and this attention is enough to attract people's attention .
After handing Xuanfeng to the guard Baizi, Ye Yi stepped into the Mingde Hall with a solemn expression, walked steadily to the seat of the prince, lifted his clothes, and bowed down solemnly.
"Minister Ye Yi, see Your Highness."
Seeing Ye Yi, the prince was in a good mood, with an unusual faint smile on his face.
"I have waited for you for a long time, and finally I hope you into the East Palace."
"I am terrified. Thanks to Your Highness for not giving up, I will do my best for His Highness, and I will never hesitate to die." Ye Yi originally thought of a set of eloquent and touching words for himself, but after reading it twice, he felt that the number of words was too much. Trouble, so it was condensed into one sentence.
But no matter what Ye Yi said, the prince would be happy.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Yi stood up calmly, raised his head and glanced left and right, only to find that there were more people sitting on the left and right sides than he had imagined, presumably the crown prince had summoned all the people who had some power in the East Palace.
Seeing Ye Yi's eyes flickering here and there, the prince introduced: "These are colleagues who will work with you in the future, you should first recognize what they all look like, and leave the rest for you later. Slowly understand. Sitting over there is the young Zhan Shi Lu Ning of Zuo Chunfang, and he will assist you in the future. There is also Cui Liang, the right Zhan Shi."
The two people whose names were called stood up one by one, and greeted Ye Yi with a nod. Ye Yi returned the salute. The three of them gave a few simple words of courtesy, and the two sat down one after another.
Satisfied with Ye Yi's calm performance, the crown prince gave a few more instructions and asked Ye Yi to sit down next to Lu Ning and discuss matters together.
After sitting down, Ye Yi didn't say a word, just sat quietly and listened quietly, trying to match everyone's faces with their positions as much as possible, and trying his best to get the most from the short words. Knowing the personalities of these people, although they seemed relaxed without participating in the discussion, Lu Ning, who was sitting next to Ye Yi, could tell that Ye Yi had never been relaxed for a moment, and the things in his mind might be more important than those sitting here. More than any one person.
In just a short hour, Lu Ning seemed to understand why the prince had to be obsessed with this former young minister of Dali Temple.
Finally, the morning court in the East Palace was over, Ye Yi rubbed his forehead, and walked out of the palace while thinking about things.
"Lord Ye." Lu Ning chased up from behind, reaching out to pat Ye Yi on the shoulder, but saw a small black head protruding from Ye Yi's arms, threatening him with bared teeth.
Interrupted by Xuanfeng's grunt from his throat, Ye Yi turned his head curiously, wanting to see who Xuanfeng was intimidating, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Ning staring at Xuanfeng with shining eyes.
"Is something wrong, Shao Zhan?"
Following Ye Yi's turn, Xuanfeng also turned around, and continued to stare at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning pointed at Xuanfeng, and asked with interest: "Is this Master Ye's pet? Is it a leopard?"
Ye Yi patted Xuanfeng's head to comfort Xuanfeng, and said with a smile: "Well, it's a little leopard, it was picked up by Yu Linwei in Mount Tai, and I will take care of it for the time being."
Lu Ning took two steps closer, and stretched out his hand to touch Xuanfeng, but Xuanfeng stared at Lu Ning's hand, and when the hand was close to his eyes, Lu Ning opened his mouth and bit it down, thinking that he would not be bitten.
"Xuanfeng!" Fortunately, Ye Yi reacted quickly, taking two steps back to open the distance.
Lu Ning stared blankly at his hand, and after a long time he shivered, and withdrew his hand.
Sure enough, you can't just play with the beast, even though it looks very cute when it stays in the arms of its owner.
Xuanfeng who was reprimanded whimpered, turned his head and buried himself in Ye Yi's arms.
Ye Yi stroked Xuanfeng's head, and smiled apologetically at Lu Ning: "I'm really sorry, this little guy is a bit of a stranger."
"It's okay, it's all my fault." Lu Ning smiled nonchalantly, "By the way, Lord Ye was on his first day in office, the official stopped him because he wanted to ask if he wanted to take him around the East Palace. "
Ye Yi was about to answer, but someone preempted him.
"Let's get busy with Shao Zhan's affairs, I will guide Zuo Zhan's affairs."
Startled by the sudden appearance of the prince, Lu Ning looked back and forth between the prince and Ye Yi, secretly thinking about how to overestimate Ye Yi's weight in the prince's heart by two points.
Before Ye Yi could refuse, Cui Liang, who was with the prince, tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness is busy with official duties, so we can leave such trivial matters to Shao Zhan. How can His Highness bother you?"
But the prince didn't take it seriously and said: "I have already spared all the time for today. Go get busy."
Ye Yi said awkwardly: "I am afraid and dare not bother Your Highness, so I can just let Shao Zhan Shi lead the way. I still want to ask Shao Zhan Shi for advice."
The prince looked at Ye Yi, said with a faint smile, "Is there anyone who knows more about the things in the East Palace than this Palace? Let's go."
Before the words fell, the prince had already taken a step ahead.
Ye Yi had no choice but to send Xuanfeng into Baizi's arms again, and said: "Baizi, you and Shao Zhan can go to Zuochunfang and wait for me, don't let Xuanfeng run around."
"Yes, this subordinate understands." Bai Zi hugged Xuan Feng, but Xuan Feng struggled in Bai Zi's arms.
Fearing that Bai Zi would not be able to see Xuanfeng, Ye Yi instructed again: "If you can't see it, take it to Tang Xiao."
After speaking, Ye Yi hurriedly caught up with the prince.
As Ye Yi ran away, Xuanfeng screamed even more miserably, but no matter how he screamed, Ye Yi did not come back, Xuanfeng bit Baizi's arm with one bite.
Bai Zi looked down at the black Xuanfeng, then turned his head to look at Lu Ning, and said, "Excuse me, where is Zuo Chunfang?"
He remembered that Second Young Master Tang said that he would come to the East Palace today, so he should be waiting at Zuochunfang, right?
Following Lu Ning to Zuochunfang, Bai Zi saw Tang Xiao not long after.
"Where's Brother Yi?" Entering Zuo Chunfang but only seeing Bai Zi and Xuan Feng, Tang Xiao frowned and his face turned cold.
"Back to Second Young Master, Young Master and the Crown Prince have gone down to familiarize themselves with the terrain of the Eastern Palace."
"Familiar with the terrain of the East Palace?" Tang Xiao's face turned cold again.
It has never been heard that any official of the East Palace who wants to be familiar with the terrain of the East Palace is led by the prince himself. Where does the prince want to lead Brother Yi?
"Give me Xuanfeng."
"Yes." Bai Zi handed Tang Xiao the Xuan Feng who had been gnawing on his arm without hesitation.
Fortunately, he had learned a lesson from being bitten earlier, and he specially wore felt armguards on the part of his arm that might be bitten by Xuanfeng.
Tang Xiao took Xuanfeng and put Xuanfeng on the ground.
As soon as all four feet touched the ground, Xuanfeng ran out in a hurry, Tang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and followed Xuanfeng.
After all, Xuanfeng was still young when he was caught. After being raised by Ye Yi's side for a month, he became close to Ye Yi. Those who must be by Ye Yi's side, only by following Ye Yi can Xuanfeng feel safe.
Therefore, if you follow Xuanfeng, you will definitely find Ye Yi.
Sure enough, Xuanfeng saw Ye Yi after turning a few corners in the East Palace, and threw himself on him with joy.
His leg was suddenly hugged by something, Ye Yi looked down, and saw Xuanfeng standing beside his leg, holding his leg with two front paws, not letting go, looking up at him and calling out.
"Xuanfeng?" Ye Yi looked behind him again, and saw Tang Xiao chasing after him out of breath, "A Xiao? Why are you here?"
Tang Xiao panted heavily with one hand on his hip, walked up to the prince and Ye Yi, and knelt down on one knee.
"Minister Tang Xiao, from today on, I will be transferred to the East Palace, and will serve as the Crown Prince's personal guard Zhonglang General. This is an order from the Ministry of Officials." As he spoke, Tang Xiao took out a booklet from the Ministry of Officials from his pocket.
The prince took the booklet with a dark face, opened it and looked at it, it was indeed a formal transfer order.
"I've never heard of this matter. What about the former Zhonglang General?"
Tang Xiao lowered his head and replied: "His Royal Highness, I heard that I have been transferred to the left guard."
He still asked his father to adjust it.
The prince stared at Tang Xiao coldly, and handed the folder in his hand to Ye Yi: "You take this, and Lu Ning will tell you how to deal with it."
"Yes, Your Highness." Ye Yi took the notebook and stuffed it into his arms.
Seeing that Tang Xiao was still kneeling in front of him, the prince cast a sideways glance at Ye Yi, and said to Tang Xiao, "Back off, it's none of your business here."
Tang Xiao still knelt on the ground and said sincerely: "I heard that Master Zhan Shi is familiarizing himself with the terrain of the East Palace. I wonder if His Highness will allow me to go with you? The East Tour case has not yet been concluded, and there are no clues. I think the East Palace needs to be more vigilant."
Tang Xiao's reason was legitimate and reasonable, and the most important thing was to get Ye Yi's approval.
Sure enough, after Tang Xiao finished speaking, Ye Yi saw that the prince was hesitant, so he persuaded him: "Your Highness, I agree with General Zhonglang. The enemy is dark, we are clear, we should strengthen our vigilance."
From the standpoint of business affairs, the prince had no reason to refuse Tang Xiao, and if Ye Yi spoke again, the prince would not be able to refuse.
Nodding his head, the prince said with depression in his heart: "You two are right. I will leave the defense of the East Palace to General Zhonglang. I believe that Zhonglang will not disappoint me."
"The minister should go all out." Tang Xiao said sonorously.
"Well, let's get up." The prince turned around and continued walking, but his mood was not as good as before.
As soon as Tang Xiao stood up, he saw Ye Yi was waiting for him with Xuanfeng in his arms, with a smile on his face.
Tang Xiao smiled unconsciously, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to Ye Yi, and said, "Give me Xuanfeng, don't let it hurt Your Highness."
"it is good."
This is the second time Ye Yi saw Tang Xiao at work. The first time was on the way to Yanzhou, watching from a height how Tang Xiao dispatched troops in the small courtyard of the post station. That was the first time he realized When Tang Xiao grew up, it was also the first time that he felt that there was something about Tang Xiao that he didn't understand.It was also that night that he had a dream that haunted him for a long time.
This time was the second time, but Ye Yi only felt it was a novelty.His recent joy in life is to discover the faces of Tang Xiao that he has never seen before.
It's a pity that the prince is still there, otherwise he would have been able to tease Tang Xiao well.
Ye Yi patted Xuanfeng's little head, and followed the prince's footsteps full of regret.
Seeing Ye Yi leave again, Xuanfeng opened his mouth to bite Tang Xiao, but suddenly he shook, turned his head and met Tang Xiao's slightly angry eyes, and the trembling became even stronger. With a whimper, he obediently lay down in Tang Xiao's arms.
Only then did Tang Xiao stroke the smooth hair on Xuanfeng's body, and heeled up to the prince and Ye Yi in front of him.
As a prince, Nanrong Qingxia has to bear all kinds of attention from people since she was a child, like or dislike, friendliness or hostility, Nanrong Qingxia feels that she should get used to it long ago, and she should be able to face things calmly now, But after he got to know Tang Xiao, and after Tang Xiao always stared at him inexplicably, he didn't understand what it means to be like a man on his back.
When we first met, Nanrong Qingxia only felt that Tang Xiao standing next to Ye Yi had no sense of existence, he didn't speak or move, so he just followed Ye Yi silently, completely dependent on his brother younger brother.
But I don't know when it started, even if Tang Xiao didn't speak, he was full of courage. It was very difficult for Nanrong Qingxia to ignore him. It was hard to tell whether it was anger or jealousy, but when Nanrong Qingxia When he turned his head to look at Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao's eyes were blank as usual, and he couldn't grasp the reason at all, which made Nanrong Qingxia unable to complain to Ye Yi.
So the relationship between the two people who rarely communicates with each other has continued to this day. Nanrong Qingxia obviously enjoyed the time spent with Ye Yi, but if Tang Xiao was there, even if Tang Xiao didn't know anything. Said, even if Tang Xiao didn't do anything, he couldn't enjoy it at all, because Tang Xiao's eyes made him feel like a light.
Finally led Ye Yi around the East Palace. Originally, he wanted to share lunch with Ye Yi, but he couldn't think of a reason to drive Tang Xiao away. Nanrong Qingxia simply gave up this idea and said goodbye to Ye Yi. Yi, went to Yiqiu Palace to find the concubine to comfort his soul.
Ye Yi and Tang Xiao walked back side by side. Ye Yi squinted his eyes and looked ahead, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he asked Tang Xiao, "Do you still remember the place you turned around just now?"
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "I remember it all."
"Then I'll go with you to the Qinwei Mansion now." After speaking, Ye Yi glanced at Tang Xiao's arms, and said in surprise, "Why didn't Xuanfeng bite you?"
Tang Xiao turned to look at Ye Yi, dissatisfied: "Brother Yi, do you want me to be bitten?"
"That's not true," Ye Yi shook his head, "I just find it strange that it clearly sees who bites whom."
"At any rate, I helped take care of it for a month." If he dared to bite him, he would send the little guy back to the mountains!
"That's right." Ye Yi nodded.
The Guard's Mansion in the East Palace is in the northeast corner of the imperial city, because Tang Xiao had already reported to the prince's left and right guards before going to see Ye Yi, so he and Ye Yi went straight to the Guard's Mansion right now .
After Ye Yi and Tang Xiao arrived, they knocked on the door for a long time, but failed to knock on the door of the Qinwei Mansion. Ye Yi put his ears on the door and listened, then smiled and hugged Xuanfeng from Tang Xiao's arms.
"It seems that they don't welcome the new General Zhonglang." Ye Yi stood beside Xuanfeng with his arms in his arms, with an expression of waiting for a good show.
Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi, then at the closed door, and said in a deep voice, "It's good that the soldiers and generals are united and have a good relationship, but it's not good if they don't distinguish between public and private."
As soon as the words fell, Tang Xiao kicked open the door of the Qinwei mansion.
Ye Yi only heard a loud "bang", the wooden latch on the inside of the gate broke in two, the gate opened suddenly and hit the walls on both sides.
Probably no one thought that someone would dare to kick open the gate of the prince's personal guard mansion, so those people in the personal guard mansion who were still laughing and mocking Tang Xiao were all dumbfounded and stared blankly at the moment when the guard mansion became The very fragile door, and the Tang Xiao who was walking out of the door was slightly different from their imagination.
Tang Xiao approached the courtyard of the Qinwei Mansion calmly, and looked at the few people in the courtyard with cold eyes.
"How many people are there in the Qinwei Mansion?"
The people in the Guard's Mansion finally came back to their senses, looked at Tang Xiao and sneered, and said, "How many people in our Guard's Mansion have nothing to do with you? Where did you come from?"
The guards in the East Palace are all descendants of the royal family, and they are no worse than Tang Xiao in terms of status. The former Zhonglang will be able to control them because of his seniority, and because of the long time spent together. Yes, ability is recognized.
But the soldiers and generals in this mansion are getting along well with each other, but there is a sudden change. The original Zhonglang general has been transferred away, but the new Zhonglang general is only 19 years old?Even if he is Tang Taiwei's grandson, but he is only 19 years old and he knows nothing!So the people in the Qinwei Mansion decided to make Tang Xiao look good, absolutely until Tang Xiao asked for a transfer!
Too lazy to respond to the other party's naive provocation, Tang Xiao saw that there was no one in the yard who could speak seriously, so he raised his feet and strode forward, walking straight to the room in front of him.
"Hey, kid!" Seeing that Tang Xiao rushed in without even replying, several people in the yard immediately surrounded him, "Who are you kid? Where do you want to go? Where is our personal guard mansion?"
As he said that, someone put his hand on Tang Xiao's shoulder.
Tang Xiao's eyes tightened, and he grabbed the opponent's wrist with lightning speed, and twisted it in the opposite direction, only to hear a weak and crisp "click", followed by the man's cry of pain.
"Ah! My hand... my hand is broken... this boy! Beat him! Beat him!"
My brother was injured, so naturally he couldn't stand by and watch, so a group of guards yelled and prepared to beat Tang Xiao.
Ye Yi entered the door leisurely, and sat on the steps of the Qinwei mansion with Xuanfeng in his arms.
"Xuanfeng, how long do you think it will take A Xiao to knock down everyone in the Qinwei Mansion? En?" Ye Yi pinched Xuanfeng's two front paws, smiling like a spring breeze, "I said two minutes A clock is enough."
Because of the fight in the yard, more and more people came out of the Guard's Mansion, and when they saw their brother being beaten up miserably by a kid who didn't know where they came from, they joined the battle one after another.
There are usually about a hundred people in the guard mansion of the Eastern Palace. Excluding those who are on duty in the Eastern Palace at this time and those who go home to rest, there are only about thirty people left.
It's not a problem for Tang Xiao to fight with one against thirty, but after all, he is full of blood, and he can't control his strength after the fight. Originally, he didn't want to see blood, because there was no need to see blood, but when he got excited, he didn't have a shot Seriously, how many people were seriously injured.
Smelling the bloody smell mixed into the air, Xuanfeng's eyes were also bright, staring at Tang Xiao's direction, screaming, although he struggled to run over to get involved, he was still suppressed by Ye Yi .
It would be bad enough for Tang Xiao to get so excited that he lost control of these people in the Qinwei Mansion. If Xuanfeng is allowed to pass by, then the Qinwei Mansion will be called a disaster of blood today.No matter how small Xuanfeng is, he is still a leopard.
"A Xiao, there is still time for a stick of incense." About two quarters of an hour was almost here, and Ye Yi loudly reported the time to Tang Xiao.
"What?" Tang Xiao was a little confused when he heard the time report.
Why is there still a time limit?
Ye Yi ignored Tang Xiao's confusion and urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late."
When Tang Xiao heard it, he didn't care about 21 [-], just hit harder.
So Ye Yi got a very satisfactory result, Tang Xiao knocked down everyone in the prince's personal guard mansion within two quarters of an hour.
Seeing that none of the people lying on the ground could stand up again, Ye Yi walked up to Tang Xiao, and asked with a smile, "Is anyone seriously injured?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao frowned dissatisfiedly, and said, "Brother Yi, don't you care if I'm injured or not?"
"Will you get hurt?" Ye Yi's smile was a little more smug.
Ye Yi's trust and disguised admiration benefited Tang Xiao very much, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a very faint happy smile.
Ye Yi couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed Tang Xiao's head, and said with a smile, "Do you remember the terrain of the Eastern Palace?"
Tang Xiao nodded, confidently said: "Of course I remember."
"Then go in and find a quiet place, and draw the picture first." After speaking, Ye Yi walked towards the big house in front.
Tang Xiao glanced at the thirty or so people lying on the ground, and seeing that none of them were seriously injured, he followed Ye Yi's footsteps with peace of mind.
"Hey... what's going on with these two people..." Lang Jiang Qin Chuan of the Qinwei Mansion finally stood up unsteadily, "You guys can still get up and find a doctor to heal the brothers. Follow up and have a look."
"Yes..." A group of people answered feebly, with howls of pain.
The structure of the Qinwei Mansion is very simple. There is a courtyard after entering the door, and then there is a big house. The tables and chairs are neatly arranged in the big house. It looks like a place for receiving guests. Passing through the big house, there is another small courtyard. The main room is divided into three parts: left, middle and right. The middle part is the hallway for walking. The two sides look like offices, while the wing rooms on both sides are the resting places for the guards. There are simple beds. From this hallway to the end of the Guard's Mansion, there is a spacious training ground. The space is not too big, but it is enough for the guards to use for daily training.
Ye Yi and Tang Xiao walked all the way to check around, and finally turned into a place that looked like a study room. They took a pen and paper and used it. Ye Yi took the pen and drew the frame of the East Palace first.
"Hey! You two trespassed in the important place of the Qinwei Mansion..." Qin Chuan who caught up was about to accuse the two people who ran around in the Qinwei Mansion with righteous words, but Tang Xiao gave him a glare. So he told Qin Chuan to silence.
Looking away, Tang Xiao looked at the frame on the paper, pointed to a certain place and said, "This is where His Highness and concubines live, so don't worry about it for now."
"En." Ye Yi picked up the pen, made a big cross in the area Tang Xiao pointed out, and then moved the pen to another place, "There are two palace gates here, the south of the palace gate, from west to east are the inner palace gates. Fang, Ming Fuyuan and Dianshan Kitchen, Guangtian Temple is here."
Tang Xiao then pointed to somewhere and added: "There is a small door on the east side of Dianshan Kitchen, not a palace gate, it seems to be used for transporting vegetables and fruits?"
Ye Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't the Guanglu Temple managing the ingredients in the East Palace?"
"It's under the management of Guanglu Temple," Qin Chuan interjected unconsciously, "but for the convenience of transportation, the peasants send them into the East Palace through that small gate, and they are transported separately from those in the palace. sent out of the East Palace."
Ye Yi and Tang Xiao looked at Qin Chuan in surprise, and then buried themselves in drawing again.
Qin Chuan scratched his head, and walked to the table in a few steps. Originally, he just wanted to see what Ye Yi and Tang Xiao were doing, but after watching, he interrupted unconsciously, so the work of the two became three I'm working on it personally, and within an hour, the topographic map of the Eastern Palace will be drawn.
Memorize it again, recall it again, and draw it again. Now Ye Yi has a general grasp of the situation in the East Palace.
Leaving Tang Xiao a glance, Ye Yi asked nonchalantly, "Guards of the East Palace, how do you plan to arrange it?"
Tang Xiao stared at the picture, then pointed to the position on the picture and said: "There are not many ways for strangers to sneak into the East Palace. The Jiafu Gate and Chongming Gate on the front do not need to be changed, and the Jiade Gate and Youyongfu Gate need to be slightly more vigilant." , the northernmost Xuande Gate is directly connected to the residence of His Highness and concubines, if it is according to my heart, it would be best to seal it off."
Hearing this, Ye Yi chuckled, and said: "You have a great idea, just seal the doors on all sides of the East Palace, then you don't even need guards."
Tang Xiao curled his lips and said, "I've thought about it."
"Fortunately, there are not many palace gates in the East Palace, so it is necessary to strengthen patrols. I will go to Zuochunfang to discuss with Lu Ning later to see if we need to recount and record all the maids and servants serving in the East Palace. The entry and exit of these people must be strictly controlled. Take control." Sighing, Ye Yi still felt a headache, "In short, you just need to pay more attention than usual to His Highness's basic necessities of life."
"Okay, I see." Tang Xiao nodded.
Ye Yi got up and asked Tang Xiao, "Are you going back to the Tang Mansion today? Or live in the East Palace?"
Tang Xiao replied as a matter of course: "Finally, I don't have to go home anymore, why should I go back?"
Ye Yi shook his head and laughed, and said: "If my aunt hears this, she will be sad. Come on, then I'll go back to Zuo Chunfang first, you can do your work."
Patting Tang Xiao on the shoulder, Ye Yi walked away.
Qin Chuan stared blankly at Ye Yi's hurried back, and said in disbelief, "He, did he leave just like that?" Come as soon as you say, leave as soon as you say?
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao turned to look at Qin Chuan, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there a problem?"
Qin Chuan choked, his aura halved immediately, and said, "Yes, yes... who is he?"
"It's about the new crown prince Zuo Zhan. Are there any questions?" Tang Xiao stared straight at Qin Chuan.
"Uh... no...probably..." Qin Chuan scratched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help admiring the courageous eyes of the newly appointed General Zhong Lang.
Only then did Tang Xiao retract his gaze and continue to study the picture on the table. He suddenly remembered the person he had injured before, so he looked at Qin Chuan again and asked, "Are any of those people seriously injured enough to affect their duty? ?”
Qin Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
Tang Xiao turned his eyes back to the picture again, and said, "Go to the training ground when you have time."
"...Yes." Qin Chuan scratched his head, wondering if Tang Xiao was really only 19 years old.
People in the Qinwei Mansion are all people from official families. Most of them were fifteen or sixteen years old when they entered the mansion, and some were sent later at the age of eighteen or nineteen. They all still have the youthfulness of a teenager, maybe ignorant, maybe arrogant, but no one who is eighteen or nineteen has Tang Xiao's bearing, which looks different from ordinary people.
Seeing Qin Chuan standing by the side all the time, Tang Xiao turned his head and asked in puzzlement, "Is there anything else?"
"Eh..." Qin Chuan scratched the corner of his mouth and asked cautiously, "You... don't you have anything to ask me?"
Tang Xiao thought for a while, but was still at a loss: "For example?"
"For example, who is the most powerful in our Qinwei Mansion, and how can we get along well with other people...Any questions are welcome." Qin Chuan looked at Tang Xiao with bright eyes, as if asking questions.
Then Tang Xiao couldn't understand Qin Chuan's eagerness to be relied on, raised his brows slightly, and asked, "These...do I need to know?"
"No, no?" Qin Chuan blinked.
"Is there?" Tang Xiao really didn't know if it was necessary for him to ask these questions.
"Probably...not." Qin Chuan was defeated.
Tang Xiao looked at Qin Chuan in confusion, curled his lips, and said, "Since you are still standing here, then inform the whole body of the Qinwei Mansion that those who are not in the rest period and who are not on duty tonight will gather at the training ground tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Qin Chuan was stunned, "Why?"
Tang Xiao asked back: "What else can I do in the training ground?"
Qin Chuan stared at Tang Xiao dumbfounded.The new Zhong Lang will not want to drill them, will he?Is it really okay to fight against your subordinates like this?
"This... isn't it good?" Qin Chuan tried to remind Tang Xiao.
"Why?" The personal guard is also a regular soldier who has joined the military. Is it so unbelievable that regular soldiers get up early to practice?
Qin Chuan didn't know how to answer.
Why?How does he know why?It's just that their Qinwei Mansion has never had a tradition of getting up early to practice, and who wants to get up early in the morning to practice hard?This Zhonglang general has just taken office, and he hasn't established a good relationship with other people, and he hasn't been convinced by others. If he practices this, he will definitely make everyone angry.
"Forget it," Tang Xiao said, unwilling to waste any more time with Qin Chuan, "I will discuss with His Highness directly about the drill."
Qin Chuan was stunned again.Didn't you ask the left and right guards first?Is this going to discuss with His Highness directly?
"Well...do you want to discuss it with Zuo Zhanshi first?" According to Qin Chuan's observation just now, Zuo Zhanshi seems to be more reasonable, and it can be seen that their Zhonglang will have a good relationship with Zuo Zhanshi .
Tang Xiao was startled, and turned to look at Qin Chuan suspiciously.
This person has been arguing beside him since just now, what exactly is he trying to do?Want to fight again after a fight?But this is not a provocation before the quarrel.What is he going to do?
Qin Chuan was confused by Tang Xiao, but he didn't leave. He just stood there and looked at Tang Xiao with an embarrassed smile.
Unable to see why, Tang Xiao handed to Qin Chuan the picture he had drawn earlier and the defense method he had written just now.
"how about this?"
Qin Chuan took the two pieces of paper blankly, looked at them one by one, and asked in surprise: "Is this a new defense arrangement? It is much more thorough than the previous one."
Tang Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief after getting the senior's approval, and asked, "Is it feasible in terms of numbers?"
Qin Chuan silently calculated, and said: "It's feasible. The number of the 'ten guards' in the East Palace is quite large. Although the responsibilities are slightly different, they can be dispatched in a special period." But is it a special period now?Why strengthen the defense?
"Really." Tang Xiao nodded.
It turned out that he could be transferred in a unified manner, but now he is only a general in the Qinweifu, so it is impossible to transfer other guards, right?In this way, there are really not many people he can dispatch under his command, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
Touching his chin, Tang Xiao considered a way to get promoted quickly.
Afterwards, Tang Xiao and Qin Chuan made more strict adjustments to the new defense arrangements in the study, and Qin Chuan was convinced by the short time they spent together.
Qin Chuan thought that even though Taiwei Tang was strict with the soldiers in the barracks, he loved his grandson after all. Otherwise, how could he ask a 19-year-old kid to come to the Prince's Guard Mansion as a general? But after this discussion, Qin Chuan saw Tang Xiao's excellence, and even he, who thought he had experience and qualifications, was willing to bow down.
But Tang Xiao's frankness was a bit unsophisticated, which also opened Qin Chuan's eyes, so after discussing the deployment arrangement, Qin Chuan urged Tang Xiao to go to Zuo Chunfang to find Ye Yi.
If there is no one to teach him well, even Tang Xiao's martial arts skills will be at a disadvantage sooner or later.
Tang Xiao didn't care, so he took Qin Chuan to Zuochunfang. Once he entered Zuochunfang, he heard that Ye Yi and Lu Ning were bored in the study all afternoon. Tang Xiao's face darkened. , striding towards Zuo Chunfang's study.
Brother Yi, why can he always be alone with men so easily?
"Brother Yi!" Pushing open the door of the study, Tang Xiao felt relieved when he saw the scene in the study.
In the study room, Ye Yi was sitting behind the desk, Lu Ning was sitting in front of the desk, and besides the paper, pen and scroll, there was also a black leopard lying on its stomach. At this time, the little leopard was staring at Lu Ning, licking its mouth frequently, It looks like I want to take a bite.
