Chapter 199

On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, Li Shimin just got up and was washing and dressing in his bedroom. Princess Gaoyang came early.

"The emperor's son is paying New Year's greetings to his father! I wish my father Everything is good, hee hee The happy way of Princess Gaoyang.

"Ha ha, you girl, come so early!" Li Shimin laughed. He came up to pat her on the back and said with a smile, "there must be something else besides new year's greetings, right?"

Princess Gaoyang said with a smile: "the emperor's mind can't hide his father's eyes. Father, I really have something to ask you. "

"Well, if you ask me on the first day of this year, you must answer every request. But as a father, you can say it first. It must be a proper thing. Otherwise, don't speak respectfully! " Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, isn't it so easy for the emperor to come here on the first day of the lunar new year?" Princess Gaoyang grinned and took Li Shimin by the elbow. She told Li Shimin about her request for a guard. He also said that it would be better to send this guard to her as a new year's profit.

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said, "ling'er, are you a guard for mubai?"

"Hey, hey, I'll tell you. Huang Er is so careful that he can never hide from his father." Gaoyang Princess coquettishly snorted, "father, you want to send mubai to Yuanren County, the emperor did not cry did not make also agreed. But he went so far alone, I was worried about his safety! The camp was full of wild men. In particular, most of the local Junfu were illiterate. What if they bully and crowd out mubai? I don't care. I'll send some people with him! "

"Ha ha!" Li Shimin said with a smile, "it seems that the feelings between you are really deep. I'm very relieved for my father. It's just that Baiqi is a private guard of the royal family. How can he send it to a Zhechong captain? "

"Oh, my father I don't do anything! " "I don't care, I don't care! Anyway, mubai is our royal son-in-law. It doesn't hurt to send him a royal guard! "

"The son-in-law who didn't get through the door? Thanks to you, I'm not ashamed. Ha ha! " Li Shimin clapped his legs and laughed, "OK, that's all. I'll depend on you. It's the first day of the lunar new year. I don't mean to offend you? Well, before leaving, let mubai go to Baiqi personally and select 30 people as the personal guards to go to Xiangzhou. His military status was also transferred to Zhechong Prefecture of Xiangzhou, where he was temporarily appointed as the sixth grade secretary or seventh grade Marquis of the Yi Prefecture of the Chinese army. It's around Qin mubai. That Pang Fei, I can appoint him as the commander of Guoyi in Xiangzhou Prefecture, and serve as the deputy of Qin mubai. I will inform Li Junxian and the officials of the Ministry of war later to take care of the matter as soon as possible. "

"Thank you, father!" Princess Gaoyang is very happy. She hugs Li Shimin's neck and kisses him on his face. If Li Shimin laughs.

On the first day of the lunar new year, officials and people celebrate together.

The Emperor Li Shimin brought his family members to the Zhuque gate, where he was congratulated by officials and civilians. He would enfeoffment some rewards, or issue two national policies to benefit the people. At this time of the year, Chang'an city is the busiest. Every family, men and women, old and young, all went out and gathered in Zhuque street to observe the grand occasion.

All the civil and military officials in the capital gathered together today. The imperial guards sent more than 5000 people out to keep the order in front of the rosefinch gate.

In the early morning, Qin mubai went out with his father and brother in official robes. When he came to the gate of Zhuque, there were a lot of people. If it had not been for the royal guards to maintain order here, it would have been impossible.

The father and son dismounted to the official train to celebrate the new year. Everyone was a little surprised to see Qin Shubao, who had been sick for a long time and faded out of the court. After all, there are not many people who know that Qin Shubao has recovered, but they know little about the fact that he has come out of the mountain again.

There were four sons and one father in the Qin family. Qin Shubao was a military officer of the third grade general. He was the only one in the reign of the second grade Shangzhu state, and the first grade yiguogong was very gracious. Qin Tong, the eldest son, was a military officer in his early years, and now he is Zhonglang general, the guard of the fifth grade supervisor, and an important general in the imperial forest army; Qin bin, the second son, was a political adviser in Hongwen library, and a member of the emperor's think tank. Originally, if Qin Shubao had not been in poor health, the Qin clan would have been a respectable family in Zhenguan. Now, the sudden rise of Qin mubai, a common son of the Qin family, is closely related to the royal family, which makes the Qin family glow again in the second spring and attracts the attention of the officials in Chang'an.

Today, Qin Shubao and his three sons made a public appearance at the zhengshuo Grand Court, which pushed the public's attention to a climax - the Qin family is bound to rise again!

When the auspicious time had come, the emperor led a group of concubines and princesses to the Zhuque gate, and there was a long live cry from the sea and mountains in the city of Chang'an. Two years ago, the court had registered residence statistics, and Changan had more than 30 million households with a fixed population of over million. This does not include business trips and foreign envoys and scholars. With these floating population roughly estimated, now Chang'an has accommodated nearly 2 million people!

There are at least 100000 people gathered in Zhuque street today!

Zhuque Avenue, which is more than 100 meters wide, is full of people and is very lively. It can be called a great feat in the golden age!

Standing on the tower of ZhuQueMen, Li Shimin raised his eyes and saw that there were many black figures near Mingde gate in the far distance. He couldn't help laughing and said: "in the ninth year of Wude, when I ascended the throne, there were only tens of thousands of households in Chang'an, with a mouth of only two or three hundred thousand. Twelve years later, Chang'an has a thriving population, and the number of registered permanent residence has almost doubled ten times! ""This is the result of your Majesty's benevolence. It's a glorious time for the people to live and work in peace and contentment I'll praise it.

"Ha ha! Every year in the zhengshuo Dynasty, I can see the new appearance. Very good, very good! " Li Shimin took a long breath and exhaled happily. He waved his hand and said, "new deal!"

The imperial edict was issued immediately. It was all about the new policy of relaxing the people's interests, encouraging agriculture and industry and commerce. The city of Chang'an was full of cheers, and the whole world was shaking for a long time.

Qin mubai was shocked to attend such a zhengshuo ceremony for the first time.

The gathering of 100000 people is so shocking. This is the weather of peace and prosperity!

Qin Shubao said with a smile: "Dalao Erlang Sanlang, the Tang Dynasty is incomparable. It's not easy to get it! Our officials and ministers, Wufu, should work hard for our country! Who dares to offend Tang Tianwei, we should fight hard to keep fighting

"Yes, father!"

"Ha ha!" Qin Shubao burst out with hearty laughter!

From the turbulent times more than ten years ago to today's peaceful and prosperous times, Qin Shubao has a lot of feelings along the way.

At this moment, he seems to be in the age of the golden age and iron horse, where he can swallow thousands of Li like a tiger. He is maneuvering with his horse and his gun, fighting back and forth among the enemy!

Seeing such a peaceful and prosperous time. Qin Shubao felt a great sense of achievement, and his blood was boiling again.

Old Ji Fu Li, ambition in a thousand miles - when the blood and fire all the way to fight over, efforts and efforts are not in vain ah! Today's peace and prosperity, I do not know how many people with blood and life in exchange for, more valuable!

……

Qin mubai looks at Qin Shubao, and from his smiling expression and resolute eyes, he reads the bold and unrestrained heroism and heartfelt gratification.

Perhaps, the mind of their generation can never be understood by themselves. But at the moment, Qin mubai clearly felt his father's heroic spirit.

A man is a man of indomitable spirit; a horse of war, a spear, a river of blood and fire, what fear of death!

At this moment, the image of Qin Shubao became tall again in Qin mubai's eyes. Qin Shubao's contribution to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has become a symbol of the great power of the Tang Dynasty!

Perhaps, only a man like Qin Shubao is most qualified to roar out that sentence - those who violate the heavenly power of the powerful Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!

Qin mubai suddenly felt very lucky. It's a great honor to be born as the son of Qin Shubao. It's a great fortune to be born again in such an era. It's a great pride and glory to be born as a martial arts man and an ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty!

"Datang, I really like you more and more!"

……

The grand ceremony lasted until noon, and everyone was full of enthusiasm. The emperor had already returned to the palace and walked down the gate tower of the rosefinch gate. The thunderous cheers continued for nearly an hour on the rosefinch street. Until the evening, there are still many people in Zhuque street, spontaneously holding all kinds of celebrations. Scholars and officials sing poems in praise of the peaceful and prosperous times. Jugglers show off their skills and win applause. Men, women, old and young walk through the city to catch up with the excitement. Chang'an City has been boiling for a whole day, and it's only at night that it gradually calms down.

In the evening, the house of Qin, which has always been a small house, suddenly becomes lively. The generals who come to pay New Year's respects almost break the threshold of the house of Qin. The cars and horses listed in the courtyard are full of difficulties, so they have to move to the backyard for a while.

In the hall of the Qin government. The number of guests who came to pay a new year's visit was far beyond the expectation of Qin mubai and others.

Among the people who came to walk around, there was no lack of the general of the twelve guards or the prime minister. There is no need to mention Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie and others. They have always been very close to Qin Shubao. In addition, Li daozong, king of Jiangxia, and Li Ke, king of Wu, also condescended to take the initiative to pay New Year's respects. Even some of Qin Shubao's comrades, generals, officials and old friends, who had long been separated from each other, came to congratulate him.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime success.

Even Yuchi Jingde, who was always not very friendly with Qin Shubao, also came with his three sons. Among them is Yuchi Baoyun.

Qin Shubao greets each other with a smile and treats each other with wine. He casually talks about the gap between his third son, Yuchi Baoyun, and Qin mubai. Yuchi Jingde laughs: "the dog is not as good as Qin Sanlang. He deserves to be beaten and eaten! Shubao, mubai, the boy didn't dare to talk to me about it when he came home. If it wasn't from others, I didn't know much about it. Because he knows, I know. I'm sure I won't help him. You can't blame others for your poor ability. If you want to earn face, you have to work hard and practice martial arts well. You have to surpass Qin Sanlang! "

"Ha ha! Lao Hei is still his old temper Qin Shubao laughed, "that's right. We old guys will go ahead of them one day. Do you expect us to help you with everything? "

"Hey, Mr. Qin, we've been fighting all our lives. I can't beat you and you can't beat me. Now you win, your son is better than me! OK, I'm convinced Yuchi Jingde roared like thunder. "Come on, I'll fight with you today! ——Sanlang, you also go to propose a toast to Qin mubai! If they are better than you and have more ability than you, you should be convinced and learn from them! ""Yes, father!" Weichi Baoyun didn't dare to say a word. He held up the wine to pay homage to Qin mubai and said, "general Qin, I've been offended many times. Hope Haihan! Today, as my father said, I am convinced of you! But in the future, I will try my best to surpass you one day! "

"Good! Brother Baoyun, let's drink to your straightforwardness and happiness! " Qin mubai laughed and drank with him.

That party Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao finished a drink, re hummed a curse: "dog son confused, what's the future of mixing with that long sun Huan?"? Those white faced scholars are full of bad water. I don't have the strength to follow him. I'm in a bad mood! If you want to learn, follow mubai! Look how capable they are. Their talent and martial arts are 100 times better than yours. They are shining in the courtyard. Even the princess is crying to marry him! "

Wei Chi Baoyun said bitterly, "Dad, you've made me look like this. I'm black Which princess will answer me? "

"Scared, do you think Laozi and your mother made you ugly?" Yuchi Jingde is furious. "See if I don't beat you up!"

The whole room burst out laughing. Qin Shubao quickly persuaded him to continue drinking.

It was late at night that the guests of Qin's house gradually dispersed and became quiet.

With so many guests, father and son were really tired of dealing with them. They were all a little sleepy, so they took a rest early. When he was leaving, Qin Shubao told him to get up early tomorrow. He had to go to the palace to pay a visit to the emperor. On the fifth day of the first month, he and Qin mubai will leave Beijing for their posts. We should seize the time to finish these things.

The next day, the father and son went to the palace to celebrate the new year, and many courtiers also came. It is almost an unwritten rule to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor on the second day of the first lunar month. The four just walked to Wude hall and met Princess Gaoyang. It was obvious that she had been waiting here for a long time.

"Lord wing, how did you come? Hee hee, I'll give you a new year's greeting. Is it advantageous? " Princess Gaoyang said with a smile.

Qin Shubao was amused and laughed: "the princess came to pay New Year's greetings to the old minister. That's the reverse of the etiquette

Princess Gaoyang said with a shy smile: "I am a younger generation, so, so..." "Pay New Year's call to your father, princess, your royal highness," Qin Bin said with

. "You must give the benefit of the gift."

"Ha ha, good, good." Qin Shubao happily took off the jade pendant and gave it to Princess Gaoyang, saying, "I'm poor and have nothing else. The jade pendant was given to me by the former Emperor in my early years. I'll give it to the princess today. It's right to be a new year's profit!"

"Hey, hey, thank you! Is it not that I am loved Princess Gaoyang said with a smile.

Qin mubai said with a smile, "well, don't make fun of my father. It doesn't matter how much money you can earn. There is a family inside and outside. Isn't it that you put your left hand on your right? "

"I know, you say it!" Princess Gaoyang said with a smile, "by the way, I'm here specially to wait for you. I just want to tell you that my father has agreed to give you a guard. You can choose 30 of them to work in Xiangzhou. Let these people be your generals of the Chinese army. In addition, his father also promised to promote Pang Fei to be the lieutenant of Guoyi, the capital of Xiangzhou, and to be your deputy. "

"Really? Great Qin mubai said happily, "thank you very much, ling'er."

"Hey, hey!" Gaoyang Princess elated smile, "how, I can also be a bit of use?"

"Who said you're useless? It's not that you've been bothering yourself all the time." Qin mubai joked, "is the grand Princess of Tang Dynasty useless?"

"Good. You satirize me

……

The appointment of ministers to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor is a way to go. It's not cumbersome. Later, the father and son entered the palace for a year's visit, and were given seats in the Linde hall. Many court officials have been waiting here. Later, the emperor will come to have lunch with his ministers.

Chang sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Li Ji are also examples.

Qin's father and son and others also had a ceremony with them one by one, and each sat down.

Qin Shubao whispered to Qin mubai: "Sanlang. You have a lot of problems with the Fang family and the Chang Sun family, which is a big hidden danger. We Qin clan are magnanimous and upright. We are never afraid of flattering anyone. But it's easy for a gentleman to form a villain, but it's hard to guard against it. In the future, you have to be careful. "

Qin Mu Bai nodded with a smile and said, "the father thinks that who is the gentleman and who is the villain between the eldest grandson and the house?"

Qin Shubao said with a smile: "there is no absolute gentleman or villain in the court. Otherwise, they are not politicians. "

"Father has a point!" Qin mubai nodded deeply. Thinking: how many good people can play politics? How many people always put a black face in front of the world? People's minds are complex, not to mention the politicians who have been involved in conspiracy all the year round.

Soon it was noon, and Li Shimin had a banquet at the Qide hall. He drank until noon. When the banquet was over, the emperor specially sent a small eunuch to invite Qin mubai to the Penglai palace in the back palace to meet him in private.

"Mubai, you are going to Xiangzhou in a few days. How are you going to prepare?" Li Shimin asked.Qin mubai replied that everything was ready for the journey.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "you think it's ready, but Gao Yang doesn't think so. She just felt that she was not at ease to let you go so far and worried about your safety. Little girls are no more worried than men! So I decided to send you a pro guard. Let's go to Xiangzhou with 30 of you to serve as your military academy. In addition, I have promoted Pang Fei to be the lieutenant of Guoyi, the capital of Xiangzhou, and your deputy. With the help of a group of familiar and capable people, it will be much easier to be an official in a local place. "

"Thank you, Ron!" Qin mubai's grateful worship.

"You don't have to thank me. It's all from ling'er. In the early morning of new year's day, she came to ask me for help. Can I agree? " Li Shimin said with a smile, "when you get to a place, everything is no better than the capital. You need to spend more time and effort to get familiar with the local military and political affairs and learn more. I will be waiting in Chang'an to see your achievements. "

"I'll do it!"

Li Shimin got up from the throne and went to Qin mubai. He cut his hands on his back and looked at him with a little fat belly. He looked at him with a smile and said, "if you have a son-in-law like this, what do you want? Mubai, don't let me down my expectations for you! "

"Yes..." Qin mubai said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Wei Chen knows his identity and what he should and shouldn't do. "

"Good. So I can rest assured. " Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder and said, "go ahead. You must be busy visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. Your time is very urgent."

"I bid you farewell." Qin Mu Baigong started and stepped back.

With a slight smile, Qin mubai shook his head and thought to himself: Li Shimin is also an interesting person. He just intentionally reminded me that he regarded me as his own son-in-law. Maybe give me a guard to accompany me to Xiangzhou. In fact, the implication is very obvious - although you are working hand in hand with Li Ke as an official and assistant, don't forget that you are always my person!

In fact, Qin mubai had already realized Li Shimin's intention. At the beginning, Li Ke took the initiative to ask Li Shimin for help, but Li Shimin agreed. But when it was time for him to become an official, Li Shimin appointed Qin mubai a casual military official who was a general of Sanpin Yunhui. He deliberately raised his rank, which was only half as good as Li Ke, the Prime Minister of Xiangzhou. His far-reaching intention is to imply to them: Li Ke, you want to draw Qin mubai into your own camp, it's no good; when you get to the local level, Qin mubai is on an equal footing with you, because he is the person I sent to supervise and assist, not the subordinate of Li Ke.
