Fang Li splashed ink and drew a lifelike sika deer on the paper.

Then he summoned Zhao Gao to come over: "Xiao Zhao, come and see if I draw a deer or a horse?"

Sweat beads have already oozed out of Yuchen's forehead, and he was sweating for Zhao Gao in his heart. The dignified king of a country personally painted a small eunuch in the school. There must be articles here.

And it is such a problem of lack of content. If Fang Li didn't draw a four-dimensional character, he thought that even a seven or eight-year-old boy could tell it. However, the dignified king of a country asked Zhao Gao such a childish question, which only showed that he had no intention.

"Duke Tang and Zhao Gaosu don't know each other. Could it be that they came for me?"

Yu Sheng thought of this and even had sweat beads on his spine. He coughed, glared at Zhao Gao fiercely, and said sharply: "Xiao Liuzi, open your eyes wide and see clearly. If you see it badly, you will never forgive you!"

Zhao Gao looked calm and nodded and agreed: "Master, don't worry. Xiao Liu not only knows how to see with his eyes, but also with his heart. The lord's magical work Xiao Liu will never forget it and remember it in his heart."

"You call Zhao Gao Xiaoliuzi?" Fang Li showed a confused look.

Without waiting for Yuju to explain, Zhao Gao had already bent over and came to the table respectfully, and said clearly: "If you go back to your lord, I will be the sixth one at home, so my nickname is called Zhao Xiaoliu."

Fang Li suddenly realized: "Oh... So that's it. Xiao Liuzi, come forward to see if I'm painting a deer or a horse?"

Zhao Gao kept bent over and came to the desk, but he still didn't dare to stand up straight. He stared at him for a moment and replied, "When I say that this is a deer, it is a deer, and the lord said that this is a horse, and the lord is a horse! The lord is the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, the lord is the lord, and the lord is the lord, and the lord is the lord, and the lord is the lord, and the lord is the lord, and the lord will eat grass every day from now on; the lord says that the lord is a horse, and the lord will pull the cart every day from now on."

"Well?"

Fang Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he could still play like this? He didn't expect that he could still answer like this.

It seems that people who are eunuchs are smart, good at figuring out the hearts of their lords and adapting to changes. Otherwise, Zhao Gao would not have served the talented and wise Emperor Qin Shihuang for so long and was highly valued.

This guy serves Qin Shihuang, one of the most powerful emperors in Chinese history. If he hadn't had two tricks, he would have died many times!

If you don’t have some skills, how could you kill Fusu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers, and how could you get rid of Li Si who is in the prime minister? These are all top talents in Chinese history.

Yujun then knelt down and kowtowed: "Xiao Liuzi is right. The lord is the master of the Tang Dynasty. The lord says it is a horse or a horse. The lord says it is a deer or a deer. Who dares to refute it? The old slave is the first to tear his mouth apart!"

Fang Li smiled slightly, put away the picture of the dry ink and handed it to Zhao Gao, and warned in a deep voice: "Little Six, I will give you this painting. Remember, you will always be the slave of my descendants and your descendants. Remember what you said in your heart. It is only the master who will do what he calls a deer and his horse!"

Zhao Gao kowtowed like pounding garlic: "I must keep it in mind and serve the lord with all my best efforts!"

With the Tai Chi Palace, Zhao Gao and his disciples took care of it and soon became well organized.

Master and apprentice, the master and apprentice, carried a few trees here and planted a few pots of flowers there. Today, we built a pavilion and tomorrow we would build a rockery. The pavilions and pavilions that were packed with Tai Chi Palace, and the small bridges and flowing water made people feel as if they were in the garden and were relaxed and happy.

Fang Li took Jing Xi through the colorful back garden and couldn't help but sigh: "A Xi, although you are diligent enough, your ability to manage the palace is still not as good as that of the eunuchs!"

Yuhou, who had been serving the left and right, hurriedly stepped forward and bent down and said, "My lord has been awarded. The old slave has just stayed in the Yu Palace for a long time and has been in charge of the palace for nearly 30 years, so he has some experience. Jing, Jing... The girl is smart, how can I compare to the old slave?"

When Yuchen mentioned Jing Xi, he stuttered, and Fang Li couldn't help feeling guilty.

Although Jing Xi and I are married, they are still nameless and have no separation. Their current identity is a bit awkward, and they are more like a palace maid leader. No wonder Yu Hu didn't know what to call Jing Xi, so he had to call "girl".

"Axi, I have sent envoys to Chu State to marry. After I marry the concubine, I will take you as my concubine and give you a title." Fang Li made a promise to Jing Xi in front of Yougong, in front of Zhao Gao.

Jing Xi was overjoyed, with tears in her eyes, and she bowed to worship: "Thank you for your love, Ah Xi is willing to grow branches and leaves for you and reproduce your descendants."

Yuhou hurriedly bowed to Jing Xi and congratulated him: "Congratulations, when I was in Yu Palace, I saw that you were rich and noble. Today, the Empress finally got through, which is a joyful congratulation!"

Jing Xi also paid the gift to You: "When I was a slave in Yu Palace, I thanked my father-in-law for taking care of me, otherwise Ah Xi, who had been sick many times, would have been thrown into the wilderness..."

When Jing Xi said this, she suddenly covered her mouth with her sleeve and wanted to vomit, looking very disgusting.

"Axi, what's wrong with you? You're feeling uncomfortable?" Fang Li hurriedly reached out to support Jing Xi.

Yuxi, who was next to him, followed him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, I'm afraid Empress Jing is happy."

Fang Li was overjoyed and ordered Zhao Gao, who was standing in the distance, to say: "Xiao Liuzi, go and summon the imperial doctor to treat the empress immediately."

Fang Li accompanied Jing Xi back to the bedroom. The imperial doctor arrived at the fastest speed, gave Jing Xiwang some questions and congratulated him: "Congratulations to the lord, Empress Jing has been pregnant for more than a month and needs to take good care of her body."

When Jing Xi heard this, she looked happy on her face. She reached out and gently stroked her lower abdomen, full of longing for the future.

Fang Li highly rewarded the imperial doctor and ordered Jing Xi to prescribe some herbs for health care. He also told Jing Xi to take good care of herbs and take care of all the chores in the Tai Chi Palace, so that all the chores in the Tai Chi Palace would be handled without any more care.

Jing Xi nodded and agreed, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, husband, Ah Xi knows it in her heart, and she won't be tired of herself!"

Fang Li suddenly remembered Jing Ke: "By the way, Brother Ling went to Luoyang some time ago, but now he has returned to Yaojiazhuang?"

Jing Xi suddenly choked up and shook her head and said, "A Xi took a few maids to Yaojiazhuang during this period, wanting to move to Xingyang to live, but he annoyed him and actually moved with Meng and his son, but he disappeared."

"Uh... your brother is really weird!"

Fang Li was also quite surprised and could only comfort Jing Xi and said, "Axi, don't worry too much. Jing Ke has extraordinary martial arts skills, and more than a dozen ordinary people cannot hurt him. Since your brother has left with Meng and his son, there must be a place to stay!"

Fang Li was busy with government affairs and didn't have much time to accompany Jing Xi. He told Yu Chong to take good care of him and went to work hard on his own affairs.

In the past few days, the prefect of Henoi Youli sent people to send 5,000 new soldiers gathered from various counties to Xingyang. In addition, the 6,000 new soldiers recruited by Xun Yu from the Xingyang area made the Xingyang camp's strength exceed 30,000. Under the leadership of Ma Chao, Li Dian, Zhurong and others, practice day and night to improve combat power.

Looking at the map, the troops deployed by the Tang Kingdom are as follows: Chi Yang is guarded by Zhang Liao and Qu Yi, and Gao Shun and Ma Zhong are reinforced, and the defensive forces are about 30,000.

In the Jiangguan, the former guards were Ying Bu and Yan Liang, and now Cao Cao and Ma Dai led their troops to reinforce, which also led to the garrison of 30,000.

Fang Li believed that with the dangers of the two levels and the ability of Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Ying Bu and others to command troops, they should be able to defend the enemy outside the national gate and withstand the attack of the Jin army.

Pinglu had Shen Pei, Liao Hua led 10,000 people to guard the city, and Zhou Yu, Guan Ying, Cao Ren and others led 30,000 people to guard the city. In addition, more than 30,000 troops in Xingyang City and Xu Sheng's navy, the current total force of the Tang State has reached nearly 150,000.

Fang Li believed that if external factors were aside, Tang State now had the strength to defeat Wei State, South Korea, and even had the hope of challenging superpowers like Jin State and Zhao State.

"After Qin retreated, he must control Luoyang as soon as possible, build Hangu Pass west of Luoyang to block the Qin army's invasion. As long as Luoyang can be controlled in his hands and then go north to destroy Jin, he will be expected to have hegemony!"

Looking at the growing territory, Fang Li was full of passion and was full of confidence in the prospects of the Tang Dynasty.

In the afternoon of that day, the guards guarding the palace gate suddenly came to report that Gongsun Yan returned from Handan, Zhao State, and was asking for a meeting outside the gate.

"I guess Gongsun Yan can't stay in Handan anymore, so he made up his mind to serve my Tang Dynasty." Fang Li was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Gongsun Yan to be summoned into the palace.

The Tang State is now in urgent need of internal affairs talents. With Gongsun Yan's joining, it will naturally make the Tang State more powerful and receive some help.

After visiting Fang Li, Gongsun Yan expressed his intention: "Zhao State has dispatched 160,000 troops to attack Wei, and it is useless for me to stay in Handan, so I bid farewell to Mr. Zhao. Seeing that I had decided to leave, I did not try to keep him anymore, so I allowed me to return to Xingyang, but asked me to urge my lord to deliver the other 200,000 stones of grain promised to the Zhao army to Handan as soon as possible."

Fang Li smiled and said, "Mr. Gongsun is in a hurry to be honest. Since I promised Zhao Yong, I will not go back on my word! My Tang Dynasty is on the occasion of employment, and it is time for you to come back."

Fang Li immediately announced the conferment of Gongsun Yan as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and also served as the Minister of Justice. He helped him govern the Tang Dynasty with Xun Yu, working hard to improve national strength, prepare for war, and strive to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

Just as Fang Li was busy working hard for national affairs, Jian Yong came to Yingdu with letters and 20,000 pieces of white paper to pay homage to the Duke of Chu Xiong Lu. He expressed his gratitude to the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and asked Duke of Chu Xiong Lu to marry Yu Miaoge to Xingyang and to make the favor of Tang and Chu forever.

After reading the letter, the Xiong couple was very relieved and accepted the gift from Fang Li with a smile: "It is rare that Mr. Tang remembers my kindness, and I am very pleased!"
