Chapter 182

After the ceremony, Li jingle happily invited Qin's father and son into the main hall, divided the guests and hosts, and set tea for each other.

Li Jing took out the longevity stick given by the emperor and tried it. He was very satisfied. He said with a smile, "Your Majesty is really considerate of my ministers. This crutch fits my figure. It's very impressive that he has so much time to manage such trifles

Qin Shubao said: "elder brother, your Majesty's favor to you is really extraordinary. He is also your brother in public. In fact, we old ministers are all jealous! "

"Ha ha, Shubao is joking." Li Jing sat down laughing and invited their father and son to tea.

Qin mubai has been sitting in silence to listen to Li Jing's chat with his father and carefully observe Li Jing. In general, Li Jing gave Qin mubai a calm and approachable feeling. The more a real big man is, the less airs he has on the other side, the less he will put on airs. If you walk in the market, others don't know that he is Li Jing, the Duke of Wei. He is an invincible military God of the Tang Dynasty. He seems to be an amiable old man.

Li Jing's home was also very simple. Most of the high officials in Tang Dynasty advocated thrift. The furnishings of Wei mansion were as simple as those of Qin mansion, but they were very clean and tidy. Just like Li Jing, he is low-key, simple and meticulous.

After chatting a few words, Qin Shubao said bluntly: "elder brother, I haven't seen you for several years, but I have nothing to do but go to the three treasures hall. If you come here today, I will ask you something. "

"Shubao, why do you ask for a word? If you have something to say, just say it Li Jing said with a smile.

Qin Shubao pointed to Qin mubai. He said: "dog follows me to join the army. Although he has learned some tricks, he knows nothing about the art of war. Elder brother, you also know that Qin Qiong is a man who only knows how to dance with guns and sticks. If he preaches and practices dog's art of war, he will have more heart than strength. That's why I thought of bringing my dog to big brother. Please dial one or two. "

"This..." Li Jing slightly twisted his brow. His thin purple hand stroked his bright white beard and pondered for a long time. He said, "Shubao, you and I have been friends for many years. You know my temperament."

"Of course." Qin Shubao said with a smile, "so I don't dare to force others into trouble. Anyway, Yudi just opened his mouth with this old face. Big brother doesn't have to be embarrassed. If you accept it, you will accept it. If you do not accept it, you will not accept it. I'll rely on my elder brother's opinions, and I have nothing to say. "

"Shubao, I know who you are. You never ask for help. Today you have opened your mouth. I can't refuse, it's just It's hard for me to say Li Jing's face is embarrassed to say.

"Can you tell me so that I can see for my brother? You and I have been brothers for so many years. On the one hand, I will never force you. On the other hand, if there is any difficulty, I will be my elder brother. I will do everything I can to help him. " Qin Shubao said.

"Shubao is still so loyal." Li Jing took a look at Qin mubai, gave a little smile, and said, "anyway, mubai is not an outsider, so I'll tell him frankly. As a matter of fact, since Beiding Turk, I have always kept my door closed, not to mention accepting apprentices to teach the art of war. Before that, I had two students, one was su dingfang, the other was Hou Junji. Both of them are now independent and have almost cut off contact with me. Do you know why, Shubao? "

"What? Did Su dingfang and Hou Junji cut off contact with you? " Uncle Qin's sword eyebrows stand erect, slightly showing a trace of anger, "how dare they so disrespect their teachers?"

"No, no, it's not their fault." Li Jing frowned and said, "I asked them to do this. And Li Ji, who had been my best friend in the past, also had a conflict with me. He didn't have any contact with me when he died of old age. "

"This..." Qin Shubao's face was slightly stunned and pondered for a moment. He finally nodded, "I understand."

Qin mubai thought in his heart, as if he also wanted to know something clearly: Li Jing was the only military God in the army that no one could replace, and was almost the symbol of the army of the Tang Dynasty. Such a person, in the military has the prestige is naturally unparalleled. Today, his apprentices Su dingfang and Hou Junji have become the generals who are in charge of the military power. What would the emperor think if he still kept close contact with Li Jing? At that time, I'm afraid as long as Li Jing is willing to wave his hand gently, thousands of troops will gather, and maybe he can topple Li Shimin's dynasty!

As a result, Li Jingcai made this bad policy, cut off contact with Su dingfang, Hou Junji and others, and made trouble with Li Ji. As a result, the generals in the army are not at peace with each other, and the emperor is able to adjust and control them. If all the generals in charge of the army are firmly united I'm afraid Li Shimin's throne will be on pins and needles. In this way, it is not only the crisis of Li Shimin, but also the crisis of Li Jing, Li Ji and Su dingfang, and even the whole Tang Dynasty!

Li Jing is indeed a man who can lead the whole body and dominate the fate of Tang Dynasty!

……

"So, do I dare to accept the apprentice?" Li Jing's smile was a little bitter and helpless. He said, "Shubao, it's not that I'm unkind or that I look down on mubai. In fact It has to be so because of the situation. "

"Big brother is wise, considerate, loyal and pure. Everything he does is for the sake of the country and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I have nothing to say." Qin Shubao sighed with regret, "in this way, I can only sigh that Sanlang didn't have the blessing to worship under your door!"At this time, Qin Mu Bai gave a smile and said, "Duke Wei, father, it's OK. I want to learn the art of war just to serve the Tang Dynasty and share the emperor's worries. However, if the association brings many troubles and troubles, it is against my will. Therefore, I don't want to pay homage to shiweigong now. "

"Oh?" Li Jing gave a light sigh, and his old eyes flashed across Qin Mu's white face. He said in his heart: this boy is smart. It seems that he has figured out the meaning of what I said just now He took advantage of the opportunity to present the gifts from the emperor to talk about the worship of teachers, and invited his father to lobby together. It seemed that he was determined to win, and had no fear.

Li Jing thought: the children of the military officials of the Tang Dynasty, who want to worship me as their teacher, are not very good. But everyone knows that Li Jing is so successful that he will thank his guests behind closed doors, for fear that he will get suspicious and get into trouble when he gets close to me. Qin mubai is the only one who comes here to worship his teacher. Is he an idiot? Obviously not! He is a close official of the emperor. How can I not know the situation of Li Jing. Now that he has come and spoken Does that mean that he has been acquiesced by the emperor?

Thinking of this, Li Jing's eyes lit up slightly, then a smile appeared on her face and said, "it's rare that your father and son are so considerate of me. I'm very grateful. By the way, Shubao, I'd like to ask you something about chatting today. "

"Big brother, let's hear it." Qin Shubao said.

"Ha ha, I'm old. I have nothing to do. I'm quite curious when I hear some rumors. " Li Jing said with a smile, "I heard earlier that the emperor took back his life and cancelled the rumor that he would marry Princess Gaoyang and give Fang his last love. Is that true?"

Qin Shubao was a little bright in his heart, and then he said with a smile: "this matter, he should ask the dog!"

Qin Mu white face dew embarrassed wry smile two, say: "yes, just have this matter."

"Ha ha!" Li Jing laughed. "I also heard that it was you Qin mubai who invited Princess Gaoyang out of the palace and sent her to live in Prince Wu's residence. Is that the case?"

Qin mubai continued to smile bitterly: "yes, that's right."

"Ha ha!" Li Jing said with a long smile, "so it's true that the emperor wants to marry Princess Gaoyang to you?"

"Ha ha! I didn't expect that big brother lived in the mansion all day, and he was still so well-informed about the news outside. " Qin Shubao laughs, "I haven't inquired about this matter from the dog. Today, I might as well ask him clearly with my elder brother."

At this time, Qin mubai began to think: for no reason, why did Li Jing suddenly ask this "eight trigrams"? What is the old man doing? Is he going to ask me whether I will become the emperor's "son-in-law" and whether I will accept me as an apprentice after receiving the emperor's order and recommendation?

A man like Li Jing is as wise as a sea and careful as a sea. No matter what he is thinking now I'll take a bet! Anyway, the affair between Princess Gaoyang and me is an open secret. It's no shame to say it!

"In the words of Huiwei Gong and his father, it's about marriage..." Qin Mu white face dew embarrassed, some huff and puff of say, "really don't dare to hide, Yin imperial concubine empress once and I oral mention.". That's all. "

"Ha ha! The empress Yin is the biological mother of Princess Gaoyang. Since she has already spoken, it means that the emperor has already instructed her. Otherwise, how can she make her own decision? In this way, I would like to congratulate your father and son. The Qin family married the princess. It's a matter of time Li Jing said with a laugh.

"If this is the case, it will be the boundless kindness of the emperor. I, the Qin family, will be very grateful. If it's just a rumor or a joke, it's just a laugh! " Qin Shubao also laughed.

Li Jing looked at Qin mubai with a slight smile, then said leisurely, "mubai, it's not that I don't want to accept you as an apprentice, but in fact My weigongfu is as peaceful as water on the surface, but it is a place full of troubles. It's rare that you are so diligent and studious. I can't bear to refuse you and cut off your way to study. Well, I have a military art written by myself in the past two years, and only half of it has been completed. If you don't like it, please take it back, copy it and read it carefully. If there is something you don't understand, you can come to my house and ask me

Qin mubai was overjoyed when he heard the speech. He restrained his ecstasy and got up from his couch to worship Li Jing.

"Wait a minute!" Li Jing stopped him with a low drink and said, "don't worship me!"

"This Why? " Qin mubai asked blankly.

Qin Shubao also got up and went to Qin mubai with a long smile. Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "my silly son, just listen to Uncle Li!"

"So I'll thank Duke Wei for his kindness in writing. " Qin mubai still bowed down.

"Ha ha, OK, get up!" Li Jing stroked his beard, smiled, nodded and said, "it's just a broken book. There's no need to give such a big gift. Come, you father and son, come with me to the study, and I will take the books from you. "

"Thank you, Duke Wei!"

The father and son follow Li Jing to the study, but see that the room is full of books. But they were clean and tidy.Li Jing went to a bookshelf and asked Qin mubai to remove a thick book loaded in an ancient blue book box from the bookshelf, put it on the table, spread it out, and take out a half foot thick book from it.

In the front of the book are three handwritten characters, the jade account classic!

"This is a Book of war that I began to write in the past two years. It contains many prescriptions for punishing generals, marching, camping, weather and hydrology, arranging troops, and rescuing military diseases." Li Jing said, "for those who have been marching and fighting all the year round, these things are as clear as the chest. But it's very useful for you who haven't been in battle. This book has finished the upper part. It's over for the moment. You might as well take a copy and send it back to me so that I can finish the next part. "

"Thank you, Duke Wei!" Qin mubai bows his hand to worship. Then he took off his Unicorn cape and carefully wrapped up the military treasure.

There is a poem in the Song Dynasty: "nine loam Wolong can't breathe, milk stink talk, empty ears.". The scholar didn't know the jade account Sutra, so he studied it all the time

Yuzhangjing is one of Li Jing's many military works. In the later Song Dynasty, it almost became the synonym of military books!

Qin mubai didn't quite understand why Li Jing only gave the book of war and didn't accept apprentices, but he could have it. That's great!

A work that condenses the life-long military experience of Tang Dynasty's warlord is hard to find!

"Shubao, mubai, you father and son don't think I'm stingy." Li Jing said, "you must not pass on my book of war to anyone. Otherwise, your Majesty's side.... "

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei. I will abide by the teachings of the public and will not let anyone else see this book." Qin mubai's serious boxing.

"Good. A man's promise is worth more than a thousand gold. I believe you. " Li Jing nodded with a smile.

"Two days later, I will return the original book to you!" Qin mubai made a solemn promise.

"Good! At this time the day after tomorrow. I'll wait for you here! "

Soon afterwards, the father and son bid farewell to Li Jing and went home. All the way speechless, father and son with their own thoughts, quickly back to the Qin house, when it was dark, thousands of lights.

After dismounting, they went directly into Qin Shubao's room and opened the heavy military book.

"Yes, it's really Li Jing's handwriting. He wrote every word with his own hands." Qin Shubao roughly looked through the notes and recognized them. He closed the book again and solemnly said, "Sanlang, Li Jing is so generous that he has given you all his life's hard work. You must cherish the opportunity and keep your promise!"

"Don't worry, father. The child knows what to do." Qin mubai also responded positively.

"Well, good..." Qin Shubao sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. "Just now Li Jing refused. I thought it was hopeless. This is what Li Jing is like. He is very principled in everything. He never goes beyond Lei Chi in major affairs and is extremely cautious. Just now, he suddenly changed his mind to give you the book of war, which was quite unexpected. Mubai, have you ever thought about why Li Jing suddenly changed his mind? "

Qin Mu Bai twisted his eyebrows and thought, shaking his head: "I don't know very well."

Qin Shubao chuckled: "it's reasonable that you can't think clearly. Because you don't know much about the relationship between our generation and the emperor. In fact, in his life, Li Jing only took Su dingfang as an apprentice to teach him the art of war and tactics. Later, Hou Junji, highly recommended by the emperor, became a student of Li Jing. Just now, when Li Jing asked about Princess Gaoyang, he thought it through. It was the emperor who recommended you. Although this time the emperor did not give a strong order to let Li Jing accept his apprentices, who could be more than the emperor's face? Therefore, Li Jing has to consider carefully whether to accept you as an apprentice. "

"Then why didn't he just accept me as an apprentice. But only the art of war? " Qin mubai asked.

"There's more learning in it." Qin Shubao said, "since the Emperor didn't tell him to accept it, how dare he accept it if he is good at it? Li Jing's art of war is not only his books, but also the treasure of the Tang Dynasty. The weapon of our country! If Li Jing accepted his apprentices and passed on his military strategy to some of Xiao's generation, would it not be the disaster of the Tang Dynasty? So. Li Jing has always been extremely cautious in accepting apprentices. Even if the prince's relatives wanted him to be a teacher, he would refuse. "

"But this time, the emperor asked you to visit Li Jing. The emperor's intention is profound." Qin Shubao went on to say, "first, to see if Li Jing was as cautious in accepting apprentices as it is rumored to be; second, to test whether Li Jing only obeyed the emperor's orders. Three. Deeper intention Perhaps the emperor also wants to see the art of War written by Li Jing in the past two years! "

"What?" Qin mubai was stunned, "the emperor asked me to send Li Jing such a longevity stick. What's the deep intention?"

"Therefore, I have advised you very early not to underestimate the emperor, who never does anything meaningless." Qin Shubao said, "if you think about it, what will Li Jing's art of war mean if he can lay a solid foundation for the Li family? It's like you have a top martial arts expert in your house. He has a knife to blow hair and break hair. As the master of your family, even if you absolutely trust this master, do you want to see what his knife looks like? ""My father is wise, that's right In this way, the Wulin master uses poison instead of sword, so it's more necessary to have a look at it. At least, he should have an antidote. " Qin mubai suddenly nodded, "that child now, whether should first send this book of war to the emperor to have a look."

"Smart. Just before we left, Li Jing vaguely said, "otherwise, the emperor's side"? This old fox is implying that you should send the soldiers' book to the emperor first. Please read it Qin Shubao waved, "it's not too late. Don't stop overnight. You'll go right away!"

"Yes

Looking at Qin mubai carrying a thick book of war flying horse out of the house, Qin Shubao stroked his long beard and laughed, and said to himself: "how about ginger, or old spicy? Smelly boy, you have to learn more! "

It was time for the evening drum, and the palace gate was about to close. Qin mubai went directly from the Xuanwu Gate of the north gate to Penglai hall, and found Li Shimin. As usual, he had dinner with Li Zhi and Li Mingda here.

After dealing with the two little guys, the emperor and the minister went into the study. Qin mubai directly unloaded the military book and put it on Li Shimin's desk, saying, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen went to visit Wei Gong, but Wei Gong refused to accept Wei Chen as an apprentice. He only handed down this half of the military book. Weichen didn't dare to be independent, so he took the book of war. Your majesty, please decide

Li Shimin laughs and reaches out to caress the ink fragrant jade account Sutra, but he doesn't open it. He says, "since Duke Wei has passed it to you, you'd better study it."

Qin mubai was stunned on purpose: "Your Majesty Don't you open the book? "

"No need." Li Shimin said with a smile, "you don't have to repay me for such trifles. This is between you and Li Jing. It doesn't involve me. Why are you so serious? "

"Wei Chen just feels that..." Qin mubai breathed and said. "If it's a letter of war from your majesty, I will read it with ease. If you do it without your Majesty's permission, I will feel that I am deceiving you. "

"Ha ha, that's very important." Li Shimin said with a relaxed smile, "since you want to say that, well, this book of war should be given to you by me."

"Thank you

"Put it away. It's a treasure of the military." Li Shimin looked at Qin mubai with a meaningful smile. "Take it back and read it well. If you have leisure, I may ask you for advice."
