The sun was scorching, but the ventilated Liangfeng Hall was quite cool. Zhang Lihua, who had just entered the palace for a few days, waited next to the side door with a few maids and eunuchs.

In the few days since he entered the palace, nothing unusual happened. Zhang Lihua only knew that she wanted to be a maid for the emperor. What she did was not decided yet.

She had to "take the turn" to work with other maids (palace maids) first, and then familiarize themselves with the rules in the palace.

Now, Zhang Lihua saw others standing silently, without saying a word, and then did as he did.

But I can't help but think about it.

She remembered her original mistress and felt a little sad: Did I do something wrong, make my mistress angry, and gave me away?

A few years ago, she had family, parents, and brothers.

However, later, the war broke out and her family died, leaving her alone. She didn't know what to do, didn't know where to go, and just knew how to cry.

A woman with a boy took her in, so the other party became her mistress.

In the blink of an eye, a few days ago, the mistress asked her to leave with a woman named "Queen" and come to this very big place, and serve as a maid for a man named "Emperor".

Zhang Lihua didn't know how to live the next day, so she could only live one day.

She kept in mind the previous teachings of the mistress: as long as she abides by the rules, she would not be punished.

For example, in the hall, when the emperor talks with the princes, they wait outside, and they cannot make noise and cannot enter without being summoned unless they are summoned.

Some noise came from the hall, but I couldn't hear clearly what I was saying. Zhang Lihua looked down at her toes and felt a little sleepy.

She hasn't had a good sleep these days, not because she has a poor accommodation, but because she has changed into a new place and has no one recognized her, so she feels uneasy.

As soon as I closed my eyes at night, I dreamed of the scene back then: my father and brother took her to run, followed many people, shouting and killing around me.

From time to time, arrows flew over, people were shot, screamed and fell to the ground, and then bright red blood was flowing out.

Many people fell to the ground, twitching, or motionless, with a hideous expression, which made her unforgettable.

My father fell down, my brother fell down, vomited blood from his mouth, and called her to run away quickly.

The father and brother slowly closed their eyes, as if they were asleep. No matter how she shouted or pulled, she didn't wake up.

Such a scene has become Zhang Lihua's unforgettable memory. Whenever she is afraid, she will dream of it.

These few nights, Zhang Lihua has always had nightmares, so of course she can't sleep well.

When she was sleepy, she suddenly heard the sound of "Silk, Silk, Silk", as if something was blowing. Looking along the sound, she was so scared that she was completely exhausted.

But an eunuch came over, carrying a cage in his hand, and there were a few snakes in the cage, and he kept spitting out a letter.

Zhang Lihua was afraid of snakes and was so scared that she was about to cry. The maids next to her were not much better. Seeing the snake passing by, she couldn't stand firmly.

Seeing the eunuch walking into Liangfeng Hall through the side door with a cage, the maids in shock couldn't help but feel strange: What does Your Majesty want the snake to do?

Is it a snake?

......

In Liangfeng Hall, Li Li was playing with snakes with his sons. These snakes were non-venomous grass snakes and had their teeth removed, so there was no danger.

He did not strictly control his sons' leisure entertainment. On the premise of ensuring safety, he allowed his sons to play various games, raise fish, chickens and ducks, and play with small animals based on their "childlike innocence".

So the sons have had the experience of playing with snakes since childhood.

Now, the princes are not afraid of snakes at all, and they are one by one, and they are held in their hands to play with them.

Then I heard my father explain the relevant knowledge of "one-character long snake formation".

"The long snake formation in one character is a very common formation, with two forms of expression, including battle and tactical aspects."

"At the tactical level, the two armies are fighting in a row, and the military formations are arranged left and right, stretching for several miles, and they are actually a long snake formation."

"At the battle level, the front army, the central army, and the rear army marched vertically to meet the enemy; the left army, the central army, and the right army marched together to meet the enemy, which is also a long snake formation."

"Or, when the army advances along the road and rivers, it takes the form of a long snake formation."

"So, this is a very common formation. If we want to understand the long snake formation, we must first be familiar with the snake."

Li Li put a snake on the ground and began to demonstrate: "A single-character snake formation, attack its head and tail to rescue it."

He pinched the snake's head, and the snake's tail immediately came around, rolling his wrist.

"Attack his tail and come to save him."

Li Li pinched the snake's tail, and the snake immediately turned its head to bite it, biting Li Li's palm, but it could not cause any harm because it was toothless.

"Then..." Li Li put down the snake and grabbed the middle part of his body, so he was bitten again and was entangled by the snake's tail again.

"Attack the end and rescue the end, this is the characteristic of the one-character long snake formation."

He clenched his fist with his right hand and held the snake in his hand. The snake swam forward and drilled out of Li Li's right fist.

After half of his body went out, he turned around and bit Li Li's arm.

Li Li explained: "Look, the snake's body is attacked. It first twists its body and then launches an attack in a roundabout way, so its attack is completed in the movement."

When several princes heard this, they felt a little moved: Exercise.

Li Li put the snake into the cage and said, "I think that if the long snake array needs to be used well, it must be moved. After all, the head and tail echo must be able to move to achieve it."

"Secondly, once a long snake formation is concentrated and broken through from the middle, it means that the head and tail and other parts of the body are divided and surrounded, and the so-called head and tail cannot be considered."

He took a rope to replace the snake and explained what it means to "draw a tiger but not become a dog."

"You use this rope as water, that is, noodles."

"So, how do you eat noodles?"

The princes figured out the scene of eating noodles by themselves and quickly figured it out.

If a snake does not move, it is a noodle.

So: if you suck the noodles, the tail will also enter the mouth. If you suck the noodles, the head will also enter the mouth.

When you sip the noodles, the beginning and end are all in the mouth.

Then, when the long snake formation cannot move and becomes a noodle formation, its original advantages instantly become disadvantages.

Li Li smiled and said, "If this is the case, it would be embarrassing. It would be easy to eat it. Maybe it would be wiped out."

"However, it is not easy to move the military formation? Especially the staircase formation." Li Li put away the rope, "Everyone understands the truth, but it may not be able to achieve it."

"When we attack the Long Snake Formation, the other party must struggle hard, and look at each other from beginning to end to prevent us from being divided and surrounded by us."

"We set up a long snake formation, and the other party will also strive to attack to stop us from looking at each other and want to divide and surround us."

"At this time, whoever has the advantage will have the upper hand."

Cavalry is important, but how important is it?

Li Li used the method of analyzing formations and tactics to let his sons constantly appreciate the characteristics of cavalry (the movement speed and range have advantages), which is how important it is to win a battle.

Now, using live snakes and ropes to explain the long snake formation (noodle formation). Several princes were impressed by them and truly felt the important role of cavalry on the battlefield.

Before we knew it, half an hour passed and the lecture ended. Li Lifang's sons went to play and had a combination of work and rest.

The hall was quiet. He sat on the couch to rest, shaking his big palm fan, and the eunuch brought people in to pack his utensils, but let him wait alone by his side.

Li Li looked at the shy girl Zhang Lihua in front of him and felt embarrassed inexplicably: What is this? It's so embarrassing.

Even by the standards of this era, Zhang Lihua is still a child, so he cannot have any thoughts about him now, otherwise he would be worse than a beast.

"How are you living?" Li Li asked, and Zhang Lihua quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I live well and eat well."

"Is anyone bullying you?" Li Li asked again.

When he asked, several eunuchs and maids around him became nervous, and then he couldn't help but pray, praying that the girl wouldn't talk nonsense:

The conscience of heaven and earth, we are very good to you, don’t talk nonsense!

Zhang Lihua replied: "No one bullies me, they treat me very well."

"That's good." Li Li nodded, and there were some things that he clicked. When he asked this, others naturally understood that this little girl could not be bullied.

If you say more, it will be more obvious.

However, it is always a bit embarrassing to let the girl stand like this.

If he said something, he didn't know what topic to talk to a girl.

So, I still feel embarrassed.

I can only find some things to do and pass the time.

"I heard that you can play the piano?" Li Li stood up and walked out. Zhang Lihua quickly followed and replied, "I can do some."

"Can you know some? What kind of songs do you know? Tell me, I'll leave a place in the piano room so that you can practice regularly."

Zhang Lihua became nervous: "I just know how to play some... Actually, I don't know many songs..."

Li Li heard the other party's nervousness and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I just asked casually. I will go to the piano room later. The princesses practice piano. You can just listen."
