Chapter 198

In the following days, Qin mubai lived a safe and stable life. The festival atmosphere of Chang'an during the Spring Festival is very strong, and the whole huge city seems to be enveloped in a layer of auspicious joy, which makes people unconsciously happy.

During the festival, Qin Mu Bai naturally thought of his parents, relatives and friends. Presumably, we will not be able to meet them again in the future. And this life's relatives and friends and confidants, more need to cherish.

As soon as he thought that he was going to leave Chang'an for a long time, a trace of intolerance rose in his heart. Imperceptibly, he has regarded Chang'an as his hometown, where he has his beloved relatives and confidants. Every scene and thing is so familiar.

We should cherish this little time and get together with them.

So during this period of time, Qin mubai often accompanied his parents and sister in the old house of Qin family. Qin Shubao went to the palace to see the emperor, and he was very excited about the news that he was about to come out of the mountain again. Qin Tong, the eldest son, and Qin bin, the second son, learned that their father and their third brother were going to be transferred to work abroad. They also went back to their old house with their families to reunite with their father and brother. For several days, the family got together and enjoyed themselves.

Wu Meiniang went to Qin's house more frequently, as if she had taken it as her home. Wu Meiniang is very intelligent and a very good person. The whole Qin family are very satisfied with her, and they gradually accept this Saburo's daughter-in-law and get along well with her. Although the two families were not officially married, they were like relatives.

This year is full of twists and turns. It's rare to have such a peaceful and leisurely new year. Qin mubai was quite relaxed. During this period, he practiced martial arts with his father and brother in the morning, studied martial arts with Wu Meiniang in the afternoon, and had tea with his parents in the evening. If he had leisure and elegance, he would ask the two elder brothers to take Mei Niang and his younger sister with him to have a stroll in the bustling western market, or sit in the tea shop to enjoy those officials and talented men chanting the wind and the moon.

It's easy and comfortable to live a small life.

Every few days, Qin mubai would go to Li Jing's house. Ask him for advice on the art of war and tactics, and ask him to read and comment on his reading notes. After a while, Li Jing appreciated Qin mubai more and more, often sighed to himself, and finally found his true successor in his old age.

But Li Jing, the latter half of the book of jade account, was not passed on to Qin mubai. What he was thinking about was not just the fact that he had an apprentice and a successor.

The military expedition in King Wu's residence was carried out as scheduled. Although it did not make a big impact on the capital, it also caused a stir and attracted countless people's attention. Qin mubai to avoid suspicion. I didn't go to the ceremony. He has no worries about Xue Rengui's strength, not to mention Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie and Li daozong. In fact, this kind of "audition" has an inside story in every dynasty. Unless there is a major accident, Xue Rengui, an internal player with extraordinary strength, will be the first person to win the first prize.

Li Ke's mouth is also some Kung Fu. He invited Yuchi Jingde. Qin mubai has never seen this man with his own eyes. He just heard that he was born with a big face like black charcoal, a loud voice like thunder, and a strong momentum like a tiger. He is a born tiger general. Therefore, there are still rumors in later generations that Yuchi Jingde's mother is a bear, but this person's appearance is fierce and rough. In contrast, Qin Shubao, who is as famous as Qin Shubao, is a handsome and unrestrained figure. Two people together on the door of thousands of households as a door god, a black and a white, a handsome and an ugly, also can be regarded as a mirror.

As a result, there is no suspense. Xue Rengui won the first place by absolute advantage in both martial arts competition and military strategy. Li Ke, the king of Wu, announced in public that Xue Rengui, a civilian, had been promoted to be an official in the house of the king of Wu.

From the five grades, this is a big obstacle in the official rank of the Tang Dynasty. Beijing officials above five grades can wear Fei robes to court every day. Generally speaking, Sima, one of the deputy of the governor's office, is also from Wupin, and the general county magistrate is no more than zhengwupin. That is to say, a few days ago, Xue Rengui, who had not yet eaten his belly and was selling halberds in the street, became a deputy county magistrate overnight.

In addition to Xue Rengui, the prince Wu's mansion also recruited a number of officials with outstanding martial arts skills, military knowledge and military experience to enrich the prince's army camp. However, most of these people are little-known people. Although Li Ke made some noise, he didn't dare to do it boldly. He didn't openly win over the officers of the twelve guards to take refuge. It can be seen that he still wanted to keep a low profile and be cautious.

After several days of fund-raising and preparation, Wu's mansion, which had a large number of employees, was finally tranquilized, and Xue Rengui took office. Li Ke invited Qin mubai to a banquet in the palace a year ago. In addition to Xue Rengui, Yin Yang was promoted to be one of the Dian army, and led the royal family with Xue Rengui. Yuwen Hongtai was also promoted to be the Deputy Dian army, second only to the two. In addition, hundreds of new soldiers and more than ten officers have been added to the palace, which is a new look.

Qin mubai and Li Ke have a very close personal relationship, and they once served as military officers in the Wu palace. In addition, Xue Rengui has been promoted, so they have a closer relationship with the military academies in the Wu palace. Even when the soldiers and horses of King Wu's mansion were practicing, Li Ke would invite Qin mubai to watch the ceremony and give instructions. Although Qin mubai did not hold a post in the Wu palace, he was very familiar with the assistant officials and generals.Two days before the Chinese new year, the Imperial Palace officially appointed Qin Shubao as the commander-in-chief of Zuojin Wuwei, the commander-in-chief of Xinghai road in Lanzhou, the commander-in-chief of Helong troops from Lanzhou to dafichuan, the commander-in-chief of Zhechong in qinmubai Xiangzhou Prefecture, and the commander-in-chief of sanpinwu.

In addition, Qin mubai heard the news, because he was still a "school inspector" Baiqi emissary, now Baiqi did not set up a chief emissary for the time being, and Shi lijunxian, deputy emissary and chief, took charge of the post of chief emissary temporarily to perform military affairs on his behalf.

The emperor's move also gave Qin mubai enough face, and would not let outsiders misunderstand that Qin mubai was swept out by the emperor. No, no one else is here, and Baiqi has not reset his Zhengshi. besides. Qin mubai's rank was also raised by two and a half grades, and became a general from the third grade. Generally speaking, the Zhechong Duwei in military offices all over the country are of the fourth rank. Qin mubai added a casual military officer and became a subordinate of the third rank. Although the real power has not increased, the official rank is no longer small. Because some of the deputy prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were only officials worshipping the "three grades of tongzhongshu".

For this reason, Qin mubai joked to Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, didn't you say that I was considered to marry me when I was a third grade official? Well, my original words have come true

Wu Meiniang said sarcastically, "you are a third grade son-in-law of the emperor. If only on the title of the product, my father was still a product of the country! The prince of man Chang'an, Hou Bo, has gone. When will it be you? In terms of actual duties, you are still a captain of the fourth grade, so I still look down on you. When I get the third grade official, I'll consider marrying you. Far away, if you want to mix the fourth grade captains into the third grade generals in the army, it's still thousands of miles away! "

Qin mubai angrily replied: "when I become the third grade general, thousands of beauties in the world are competing to marry me. I'll let you queue up too!"

So Wu Meiniang turned over on the spot, and Qin mubai got a good beating.

On the 30th of the lunar year, a royal family banquet was held in the palace. Li Shimin invited Qin Shubao and his son to attend the banquet. Of course, the name was "future in laws".

Although Qin Shubao was intimate with the emperor, he was the first time to attend such a royal family dinner. He was a little flattered. He dressed up at home like a big girl for a long time before Nini came out.

All the people who attended the banquet were royal family members, including Li daozong, king of Jiangxia, Li Chengqian, Prince of Wu, Li Ke, king of Wei, Li Tai, and even the eldest sun Wuji. The married princesses, princes and princesses, who were far from prefectural officials, returned to Beijing with their families. The royal family and their relatives. There are more than 100 people in the hall, and the scene is big enough.

The happiest time is Princess Gaoyang. As soon as she saw the appearance of Qin's master, she cheered up, took Qin mubai's hand in public, and went forward to pay New Year's respects to the emperor with him. Princess Gaoyang is still such an ancient spirit. She is good at making funny things. She makes a lot of people laugh.

They also took advantage of the opportunity to tease and tease Qin mubai, saying that the new visitors had to overcome three difficulties one by one to get the new year's profit prepared by the emperor.

Which three? For a time, the emperor came out to test it. Second, his wife and uncle competed in person. Third, we have to deal with the difficulties of the ladies of the royal family.

This toss can be happy.

Princess Gaoyang's sisters are not fuel-efficient lights. They come up with many problems for Qin mubai to complete. It's a metaphor that if you want him to wear a needle and embroider, you have to make a hundred years old harmonious words. If it's not good-looking, you can't pass the test. Qin mubai was about to cry. Princess Gaoyang also begged her aunt to ask her grandmother for mercy. Only then did they dare to let go.

Li you, the king of Qi, is the elder brother of Princess Gaoyang. The boy was only 20 years old, ranking fifth among Li Shimin's descendants, and was granted the title of king of Qi. Governor of Qizhou. It is said that he is good at eating, drinking and playing. He is absolutely a libertine and has a bad temper.

However, one of his biggest characteristics is that he is quite filial to Yinde imperial concubine and dotes on his sister princess Gaoyang, which is almost famous. After returning to Beijing, I heard that my sister had secretly promised the third son of the Qin family. He was both annoyed and happy.

What's troubling is that Birdman robbed his favorite sister? Happy is, own that trouble big girl. I'm finally getting married!

So today's question, Li you can look on. You have to give Qin mubai a bad impression. At least let him know that there is someone in Princess Gaoyang's family. Don't bully my sister!

Li you's question is: Qin mubai, I heard that you are good at both literature and martial arts. Today, I'll test you for the most difficult problem in the world. Looking there, there is an emerald green jade on his Majesty's head. It's rare in the world. It's your Majesty's favorite. No matter what method you use, if you can get that famous jade, you will pass.

The whole hall was shocked when this remark came out: This Li you is really a fool, and all the jokes are on the emperor's head!

Li Shimin sat in the main hall, but he only laughed: "Wulang, you not only got Qin mubai, but also me! If I don't want this beautiful jade. If I give up this beautiful jade, I will be distressed. "

Princess Gaoyang was annoyed. She kicked her mouth and jumped up: "father! What do you want to do with a piece of jade? Gaoyang's future husband is only one, you are willing to embarrass him? I don't care. Take down the beautiful jade and give it to mubai. Otherwise, otherwise I'll pluck your beard"Ha ha!" Li Shimin laughed all over the room, and said, "it's nothing. I'm afraid you'll come. Come on, change

After that, Li Shimin went to the back hall and changed his head. He took the jade from his head and gave it to Qin mubai. He said, "mubai, remember, you owe me one! I'm afraid you don't know. It's the custom of Lao Li's family. If it's a new customer who can't get through. It's been a tough year. If you meet anyone in the royal family, you have to treat them to dinner and be teased. What's more, you don't want to go back soberly today's banquet, because everyone will spare no effort to intoxicate you! "

"Well So cruel Qin mubai was really surprised.

"Ha ha!" All the people in the hall laughed together and said, "Qin mubai, it's just drunk. I'll wake up tomorrow at most. This treat alone will eat you. You don't see how many people there are in this hall today

Princess Gaoyang cackled, grabbed the beautiful jade from Li Shimin's hand, took it back and gave it to Qin mubai, and cried to the crowd, "well, now we have won, hum!"

Li you pretended to be angry: "you sister, turn your elbow out! If you have a husband, you don't want a brother! I really don't care for you! "

"Yes Princess Gaoyang put out her tongue to make a face at Li you and said with a smile, "I want both brother and mubai! You are all my favorite people

Li you laughed a few times and said, "Qin mubai, I told you. You must treat my sister well! Or I won't spare you! "

"Ha ha, dare, dare!" Qin Mubai laughed and said, "the king of the princess of Gaoyang must have tidied me away before he left his heart."

"Ha ha, you're smart!" Li you laughed, "yes, you are a good person. It suits my stomach

Qin mubai laughed and thought to himself: Li you is much more reckless than his brothers, and worse than Li Chengqian. Yin Fei is so dignified and virtuous. How could she give birth to such a son and such a naughty daughter? What a miserable life!

Next, it's Li Shimin's turn. As a king and head of the family, his questions are more formal. Literary talent, martial arts, calligraphy, piano art. He did four tests.

Literary talent is nothing more than poetry. Li Shimin improvised a half Jue poem for Qin mubai to continue. Qin mubai didn't even want to admit defeat. On such a big occasion, he didn't want to make a fool of himself. Moreover, he couldn't plagiarize other people's poems, so he was punished for three cups of water.

But in the next three examinations, Qin mubai passed all four. Archery is his best martial art. As for calligraphy, there is no suspense. Even the emperor was amazed by the "self-made" thin gold script, not to mention the quyi, which brought the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.

It is obvious that Li Shimin also intended to let Qin mubai pass. He didn't mean to embarrass him.

Qin Shubao looked at his son being tossed about by the people, and his old face was smiling. For one thing, he can see that the emperor is quite partial to Qin mubai, and Princess Gaoyang is very devoted to him. Qin mubai was quite brilliant when he saw how to deal with it freely, and he had a long face for him.

But there are many sons in law here. None of them can be as talented as Qin mubai!

After the dinner, Princess Gaoyang takes Qin mubai and takes Qin mubai with her brother Li you to visit the Yinde imperial concubine in Dajiao temple.

When Li you saw the white haired Yinde imperial concubine, she burst into tears, not sad. This piece of filial piety comes from the bottom of my heart.

Qin mubai only met Yinde's concubine in a hurry and didn't communicate much. Yinde imperial concubine also only glanced at him in a hurry, polite two sentences, did not make more conversation with him again.

Looking at Yinde imperial concubine, who looks up in the sky but is still amazing, Qin mubai can only feel a lot of emotion in his heart, but can't talk about it.

After bidding farewell to Yinde, Princess Gaoyang and Li you, the king of Qi, send Qin mubai out of the palace. Li you is famous for his perverse behavior and frivolous speech. He seems rather frivolous and has no opinion. However, he also showed unreserved respect and affection for Princess Yinde and Princess Gaoyang. He even loved his family and was very enthusiastic and sincere to Qin mubai.

Yes, sincerely.

Li you is such a simple and sincere person with outstanding and obvious shortcomings and faults. This is very imaginative of Princess Gaoyang.

When he came out of the palace, Li you said to Qin mubai, "mubai, my sister will be given to you anyway. In the future, she will be better or worse. I only know you. If she has a good life, I, Li youtou, would like to thank you and treat you as my own brother. If you do wrong to him, I will try my best to fight with you! "

"Elder brother --" Princess Gaoyang was annoyed. "What do you say about death? What a nuisance! Mubai loves me the most. How can he treat me badly? "

"I know. Silly girl As soon as Li you saw Princess Gaoyang, he got angry and turned his face instantly. He laughed and said, "I'm just talking about it! Of course, I hope you'll grow old together and be safe all your life! "Qin mubai looked at the noisy brothers and sisters, only laughing without saying anything. To tell you the truth, it's hard to see such a scene in the royal family. Li Ke, for example, seldom shows affection with his brothers and sisters. Although he was kind to Princess Gaoyang, he was not born with the same mother. They were more like "friendship" than family affection. As for Li Chengqian and Li Tai, not to mention that they all treat their brothers as enemies.

Li you, a dandy and unruly man, is a little better than his outstanding and capable brothers and pays more attention to family ties.

As night falls, Qin mubai should go. The brother and sister unconsciously walked him to the Xuanwu Gate.

Princess Gaoyang reluctantly said: "mubai, you are leaving after the new year. Can we meet again?"

"Silly sister, on the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, all the officials in Beijing have to go to the palace to congratulate your majesty, and Qin mubai's other prefectural officials have to go after the fifth lunar month. Of course, you can see him again." Li you said.

Qin mubai thought of pangfei, but told Princess Gaoyang that he wanted to take pangfei and others with him.

Princess Gaoyang agreed without thinking about it, and said, "Pang Fei has also told me about it. I'm just going to tell my father. Don't worry. I'll help you to make this work. Xiangzhou is so far away, more than 1000 Li! I don't know how long you'll be back. How can you do without a competent person to protect you? "

"That's right." Li you also said, "when a Beijing official becomes an official, he must have his own confidants and helpers. Don't look down on those local officials. They are all face-to-face. If you go alone, you may be isolated. Especially in the army, you must have a group of capable confidants who are loyal to you! "

"Well, this matter, please!" Qin mubai said to Princess Gaoyang.

"Fool!" Princess Gaoyang said with a gentle smile: "your business is my business. What can I do for you? Remember, you must see me again before you leave! "
