After dinner, Qin mubai and his family visited Qin mubai's new "son-in-law mansion" together after a while. At this time, the wedding is approaching, and the project is coming to an end, and the whole picture can be seen at a glance.
Originally Qin mubai's house was not very large, but it was rare and precious in Chang'an city. Now, the new prince-in-law's residence, which is to be used for the wedding of Princess Gaoyang, has been expanded, with more than ten mu of land added, and all the neighboring houses have been enclosed in one floor, which naturally costs a lot of money. The extension area is mainly the back house. Originally, there was only a simple polo field. Qin mubai used to ride horses to practice martial arts. Now, the plain space is divided into two parts. One is "spring and Autumn Garden". The garden is built with pavilions and planted with exotic grasses for the princess and his son-in-law to spend their leisure time in the summer. The value of one of the exotic flowers "mochinati" is enough It's up to the expenses of ordinary people for a year. On weekdays, it's only planted in the Royal Garden of Penglai palace, which is Li Shimin's favorite. I dare to say that I got Li Shimin's Jun finger to plant it directly, because Princess Gaoyang loves it very much.
This garden alone seems to be made of gold and silver. With the expansion of the whole villa, the big tile roofed house with brackets in front of the house has been replaced with the twelve storey stone steps used by the royal family, the Eight Legged lion dragon incense burner on the big stone platform, and the main house has been replaced with a three storey flying sculpture building with resplendent Dragon and Phoenix. It is supported by twelve flying phoenix pillars, glittering with gold and rosy glow, and the furnishings in the house are gorgeous
I don't know how much it costs!
The princess Gaoyang, who didn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, was very happy when she saw her, but she took Qin mubai's family seriously. Although the Qin family has been rich for many years, they are not used to luxury. If Qin Shubao, who is always low-key and thrifty, saw this, he would not accept the house. In Zhenguan Tang Dynasty, frugality was always advocated. Honest officials like Wei Zheng could grow weeds in their homes, and their furnishings were not as good as a small business trip.
This time, however, the emperor made a lot of extravagance in Princess Gaoyang's marriage, and he might even be criticized.
However, these problems were not considered by Qin mubai. He never asked for anything. The emperor insisted on this arrangement. What Qin mubai saw was the emperor's preference for his daughter and his respect for his son-in-law. This is a human feeling. Even if you don't want to show off and make a high profile, you must accept it. Otherwise, it is bound to embarrass the emperor.
We visited a circle of houses. Qin mubai is ready to send Princess Gaoyang back to the palace. On the one hand, she will go back to Beijing to reply her life, and on the other hand, she will thank her for the house. Princess Gaoyang said obstinately that she was tired today. Why not have a rest tomorrow? Qin mubai couldn't help her this time. She said that when she just came back to the capital, people were staring at her everywhere. It's better to take care of the Royal system. It's better for the princess to go back to the palace tonight.
Princess Gaoyang had to listen. They picked up the chariots and horses and other things, and took some gifts from Xiangyang and went into the palace.
It's already night, and the city of Chang'an is busy with nightlife. Cars and horses pass through the west market, stop and go, and enter the Xuanwu Gate of Daming Palace until the back palace. He asked the eunuch on duty, saying that his majesty had not yet returned to the harem, but was still deliberating in the Wude hall. Two people then sent away palace maidservant and eunuch and so on a cadre, from person first to move unload salute, and with Yin de imperial concubine report to read, then go together to Wu De temple to see drive.
It's far away from Wude hall. The emperor was still here, but he stopped at Hongwen hall. It seemed that an important meeting was still being held. Generally speaking, if it's an ordinary business, it's in the imperial study of Wude hall. If it is an important meeting, it will be officially posted to hold a "pre imperial meeting" in Hongwen hall. Most of the participants are the prime ministers of the three provinces and the officials in charge of the relevant government offices.
The Baiqi officer on duty today is really Qin Tong, Qin mubai's elder brother. The two brothers saw it from a distance and eagerly saluted each other. Because they were in public office, they did not chat much. Qin mubai only heard Qin Tong say that today's pre imperial meeting has been held for more than two hours, as long as the prime ministers and important ministers in Beijing are here. Even Wei Zheng, who was seriously ill and bedridden, was brought here, and Li Jing was invited. To ask about the content of the meeting, Qin Tong did not know. It's just that Shi qinbin, one of Wen's centurions, is in charge of the emperor's guards. When he arrives, he may know.
Qin mubai and Princess Gaoyang had to wait patiently. Nearly half an hour later, when the night was deep, the door of Hongwen hall opened and a group of ministers came out. In the light of the fire, Qin mubai, who stands in the dark, clearly sees Chang sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. Wei Zheng was carried out in a sedan chair, and Li Jing, who is tall and has a bright beard, is also very eye-catching with a crutch.
Qin Mu Bai twisted his brows and thought to himself what a great event it was. He invited Wei Zheng, a semi retired man, and Li Jing, a retired man, to come and discuss with him until such a late night?
Princess Gaoyang was impatient when she sat in the car. When the ministers were almost gone, she cried, "mubai, can you go in? The meeting is over! "
"Well, go!" Qin mubai opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Princess Gaoyang to get off.
At this time, just out of the Hongwen hall came a man who was not wearing an official robe, but was wearing a white robe with a crane cloak. In the night wind, he was floating leisurely and had the appearance of an immortal.
The white robed man seems to have bright eyes and bright ears. Hearing Princess Gaoyang's "mubai" call from a distance, he immediately stares at the dark corner and comes straight over.
Qin mubai and Princess Gaoyang also noticed the man and were curious. When she got closer, Princess Gaoyang recognized her and said, "ah, it's Li Banxian!""Li Banxian?" Qin mubai's heart is slightly awe inspiring: is it difficult to be "Li Chunfeng"?!
was hesitant when the white robe went to the two men, and with a long hand, he said, "Li Chunfeng, a humble servant, has seen the royal highness of the princess, and has seen general Qin."
It's Li Chunfeng!
Before he came to the Tang Dynasty, Qin mubai, like many Chinese, heard more about Li Chunfeng. Like yuan Tiangang, he was a famous "God stick" in this era.
This staff is not derogatory, because it is obviously exaggerating to say that he is an immortal, so we have to condescend to the "staff".
No matter what many legends they have left in history, the painting of pushing back alone is enough to establish the name of the two men's great masters. The magic of tututubei is that it was born in this era, but it promoted the important events of later generations, such as the founding of the great Song Dynasty, the entry of the Qing army into GATT, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Japan's invasion of China.
In addition, they studied mathematics, astronomy, geography, and physiognomy. Today, the calendar of the Tang Dynasty is made by Li Chunfeng, the imperial historian. Yuan Tiangang, on the other hand, is more proficient in physiognomy. He shows people that the arrangement of life and death has come true precisely. From a single face, we can see the wealth of life and death and the end of life.
Therefore, Qin mubai has always been curious about yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. It's said that Yuan Tiangang showed Wu Meiniang the same fate when she was very young, saying that if she was born a man, it would be the fate of the emperor. This statement was recorded in the annals of history, but it was not made up by Wu Zetian who later ascended the throne, because Qin mubai had personally verified Wu Meiniang, and the answer was quite positive.
These things really can't be explained by science.
But there are more things that science can't explain, just as many years ago people didn't believe that the earth was round and refuted the fallacy that science was the devil. Maybe one day, many of the ancient traditions studied by people before China will come into our house?
Now, Li Chunfeng, a semi immortal, is standing in front of him, and he comes forward on his own initiative. Qin mubai is more and more curious.
"Li Taishi is free." Princess Gaoyang made a sound first and said with a smile, "Banxian Taishi, what a good thing is there to take care of the princess and her husband-in-law today? I'm about to get married. Are you here to send Xiangrui
"Ha ha!" Li Chunfeng smiled and smiled with a long, three foot long beard. "Princess Royal and Qin will put the military together, created by nature, this is the greatest auspicious thing. Why do we need to count the future generations of our children? There is a saying to tell general Qin, "he said
"Oh, it's none of my business?" Princess Gaoyang curled her lips. "That's it. You can tell me something. I'll go in and find my father."
Then Princess Gaoyang left. Qin Mu Bai smiled, and said to Li Chunfeng, "don't blame Li Tai Shi. Your royal highness is such a straightforward temperament."
"No harm. I'm familiar with Princess Gaoyang. General Qin, please take a step. " Li Chunfeng Gongshou road.
They went to a quiet place, and Qin mubai asked Taishi Gonghe what to teach them?
Li Chunfeng was only in his early thirties, but his eyes were as old as stars. He did not flinch from staring at Qin mubai. He looked up and down for three times. When he turned his eyebrows again, he was puzzled and twisted his beard. He said three times: "strange! How strange! How strange
Then Qin mubai was curious, and asked with a smile, "why did Li Taishi say three strange things? Is it because of Qin's death
"No, it is not." Li Chunfeng laughed awkwardly at himself, apologized and said, "although I was once in the palace with the general, I was deeply in the Taishi Bureau. I watched the sky, arranged the calendar, and rarely met the general. But I remember that several years ago, elder martial brother yuan (honorific name, refers to Yuan Tiangang) touched your father's bones with the general. He said that your father would die when he was only 50 years old, so the later Qin family stayed in the royal family instead of the common family. He was rich all his life, but he was far inferior to his father's honor. General Qin should be able to understand this idea? "
"Naturally." Qin Mu Bai raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Chun Feng squarely and said, "that is to say, my father will not live to be 50 years old. Among his three sons, I am the only one who is born a concubine. That is to say, I will die soon after my father's death. Moreover, since my father's death, the Qin clan has never recovered. At most, we can keep some wealth out of poverty. "
"Exactly." Li Chunfeng's face became more and more dignified. He stared at Qin mubai's eyes and eyebrows repeatedly. His face became more and more novel. He could not help but smile and said, "it's really strange! Since his debut, elder martial brother yuan has never done it easily. However, he is always effective when he gives people a bone to bone interview, and he is not happy with his attempts. Why is it that the Qin family is the only one who doesn't see it well? "
Qin mubai's heart moved: is it because of me. Changed all these lives?!
In the dark, there are days to make figurines?!
"Oh, I'm just curious about my humble position. If there's something wrong with the offensive words, I'd like to see general Qin Haihan!" Li Chunfeng saw Qin mubai also fell into silence and hesitation, and hastened to make amends.
"No harm." Qin Mu Bai's generous smile, waved his hand and said, "however, this is the first time I've heard about it. Is it true that Mr. Yuan met my father
"Seriously." With a smile, Li Chunfeng said, "Your Majesty knows this very well. At a banquet in the early years, elder martial brother yuan and I were ordered by your majesty to meet many of the founding ministers. However, we didn't say anything to refute them. Only your majesty knew. If general Qin doesn't believe it, he can go to your Majesty's place to collect evidence. ""Oh, that's not necessary. I believe that Li Tai Shi is." Qin mubai said with a smile, "that's Li Taishi's calculation. Why does the destiny of our Qin family change?"
"No Li Chunfeng smiles a little, but he doesn't try to make a mystery. He says, "elder martial brother yuan has been traveling in Jiuzhou for many days. I'm not good at this skill. However, if general Qin is also interested, he might as well report his birthday to Li. After Li goes back, he can calculate it carefully. "
"Good!" With a generous smile, Qin Mu Bai reported his birthday to him.
After hearing this, Li Chunfeng pinched his fingers and made a rough calculation, and his face looked suspicious again.
"Is that clear? How about it? " Qin mubai asked curiously.
In Li Chunfeng's eyes, there was a trace of horror and even anger.
Qin Mu's white eyebrows twisted: "why is Taishigong like this? Is there anything wrong that I have done to offend Tai Shi Gong? "
Li Chunfeng frowned again and said in a deep voice, "general Qin, please forgive me. However, most of our physiologists have taboos. The life of this dead man can never be counted, otherwise it will hurt Gongshou. Just now when I heard the eight characters of the birthday from general Qin, I raised a cloud of doubt in my heart. I pinched my finger and calculated it slightly. Then I could easily know that it was the eight characters of the birthday of a dead man! "
Qin mubai couldn't help but get a cold neck, and he was in a cold sweat!
My darling, great!
In this way, the "Qin mubai" of the Tang Dynasty really died long ago? If I had not passed through the soul of my husband, he would have turned into dust at this time?
Qin mubai changed his face in a hurry, patted his forehead and said, "don't blame Taishi, don't blame! In the next moment confused, unexpectedly reported the wrong date of birth! But the month, the year and the hour are right, but the day is not the fifth, but the fifteenth! "
This is the birthday of his previous life in the 21st century. It's a coincidence, but the year of birth is different from the day. The month and the hour are the same.
Li Chunfeng took a deep breath, nodded slowly and pinched his fingers again. His face lightened a little. He said with a smile, "that's right. When I go back to my humble post, I'll figure out how the general's life is. However, this is not a humble duty after all. General power can be taken as a joke. It doesn't have to be taken seriously. "
"Of course." Qin mubai said with a smile, "Li Taishi doesn't have to take care of it. If you have something to say then, you may as well say it frankly."
"Good. I'll leave the humble post first, and I'll call on you later. "
They said goodbye. Qin mubai walked into Hongwen hall and saw Princess Gaoyang walking out with Li Shimin in in her arm. Father and daughter had a good talk.
Qin mubai came to the ceremony. Li Shimin laughed and said, "mubai, are you back? It's said that you have a good time in Xiangyang. That's good. I came back to have a rest for a period of time. In half a month, I will start some sacrificial rites and ceremonies one after another. I have to be busy. Before that, save your energy and energy. "
"Yes, your majesty." Qin Mu Bai smiles and bows his hand. Then he thanks for a while. While chatting, he goes to the back palace under the escort of Baiqi.
Before the gate of Daming Palace, Qin mubai stopped. He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I will stop here. The night is deep. Your majesty can rest earlier when he works hard. "
Li Shimin nodded. It seemed that he had something to say to Qin mubai. Princess Gaoyang, Baiqi and others were also interested and stood still. The emperor and his officials stepped forward and were alone in a corner.
Li Shimin cut his hands on his back, frowned a little, and said, "mubai, you have just returned to Beijing. I shouldn't have told you these important things. It's just that since you bumped into today's Royal meeting of hongwenguan, I might as well have a word with you. What is discussed at today's meeting is about Lanzhou. "
"Oh?" Qin mubai's spirit is awe inspiring. "Is there a war in Lanzhou?"
Li Shimin twisted his brow and nodded: "it can be said that for a while, the war did not start. In short, it's the same thing. Do you remember what I told you when you just came back from Lanzhou
"Of course I do." Qin Mubai said, "the Tubo people are so rude, knowing that your majesty has given me a marriage, and you must ask the Royal Highness Princess to give you a marriage."
"Keep your voice down. Don't let ling'er hear you." Li Shimin glanced at Princess Gaoyang not far away and said, "I can't agree to this. At that time, he said to the Tibetan envoys. Princess Gaoyang has no chance to give Zanpu to Tubo. The issue of marriage should be discussed again. The Tibetan envoys were naturally unhappy, but they did not dare to make mistakes. So I stayed in Chang'an all the time and asked about it at three or five o'clock. I was tired of being asked by them, so I said that I would marry another princess to Tubo. Tubo people are very happy. At the end of the year, I summoned the royal family and prepared to choose a young unmarried woman from the royal family as a princess to remarry with Zanpu of Tubo. When the negotiation was about to come to a conclusion, the Tibetan emissary did not know where to hear the news. He blamed me for not giving my daughter and showing my disrespect to Zanpu. He had no sincerity to intermarry and make peace, and left without saying goodbye! "
"So unreasonable!" Qin mubai immediately resented, "why should Tubo people be choosy? They were defeated. 60000 troops in dafichuan were beaten by two hundred of us, so we lost our armor and fled. What's the face of being domineering in Chang'an? It's really unreasonable"Calm down, how can you be more angry than me?" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and patted Qin mubai on the shoulder. He said, "naturally, I'm also very angry. The barbarians of Tubo don't know the law and respect. These principles don't make sense with their stubbornness. Originally, I wanted to repay the enemy with good. I wanted to stop fighting and bleed less. I wanted to appease the people and sympathize with the army. Unexpectedly, they may not take themselves seriously. I think I'm really afraid of their barbarians. Just go. I'm not rare. If they want to attack again, don't I still have Qin mubai? Ha ha
In a few words, Qin mubai's blood is boiling!
With a heavy fist, he said: "Your Majesty, as long as you give an order, Qin mubai will jump his horse and cross his gun, and pick up the snow plateau of Tubo!"
"Ha ha, good! I just like your wildness and craziness, just like when I was young Li Shimin laughs heartily, "I know that you are a firm advocate. If you're in Chang'an these two days, the pre imperial meeting doesn't have to be so busy. "
Qin Mu Bai gently twisted his brow and said in a low voice, "are there still many people in the court against the war with Tubo?"
Li Shimin showed a trace of embarrassment. He sighed, nodded and said, "no wonder they are. In fact, it is better not to fight than to fight. War means loss and bloodshed. Since ancient times, it has been true that one thousand enemies will lose eight hundred. This time, it's really a good time to make peace with Tubo. It's a pity that we've been delayed in the matter of giving someone a marriage. I don't know that in the past few years, the human, material and financial resources invested by the Tang Dynasty in the war against Tubo have been enough to empty one of the three or five years' treasury wealth. This is not counting the loss of Ding Zhuang and population, and the people's wealth that will continue to be consumed. "
"Your Majesty. It can't be that way. " Qin mubai seldom did not give Li Shimin face and did not follow his meaning.
Li Shimin really picked the tip of his brow, but the topic was provoked. He seemed to be very interested in talking about it. He turned back to Princess Gaoyang and told her to go back to the back palace to accompany her mother. He wanted to go back to the imperial study of Wude palace with Qin mubai and have a night talk.
It's in Qin mubai's heart!
So they went back to the imperial study of Wude hall, cooked tea and sat down with candles.
Li Shimin said: "just now you said that accounts can't be calculated like this. What do you say? "
"Your Majesty, I am not a little against your Majesty's words and dignity. In my heart, I think so. " Qin mubai also did not evade, said directly, "standing in the current position, it is indeed not a war. As a matter of fact, war is not a good thing in any era or position. "
"Isn't that right?" Li Shimin smiles and asks, "why do you refute me?"
"The reason why I retort is just for such reasons, your majesty!" Qin mubai held his fist and said, "Your Majesty, in any era and position, there will be war. Standing in the height of history and times. We should reduce some wars for future generations! If our Tang Dynasty Thailand anbing strong horse strong, prestige cloth in the world, all the world shock clothing! ——At this time, when should we wait? At this time, I want to tell you the truth that it's time to kill your head. Every king and Dynasty hopes to live forever and inherit for generations. But is there such a king and dynasty? "
Li Shimin's expression was dignified a little, nodded: "this is really a big truth, really not."
"The rise and fall are natural, the victory and defeat are based on! When is the time when the great Tang Dynasty was strong and powerful, when would it be better not to invade the four barbarians and pacify the barbarians? " Qin mubai said in a deep voice, "it's really hard for us to start a war from the standpoint of Zhenguan for 14 years now. Because once there is a war, this year's wealth may be lost in the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword. However, in ten, twenty or even a hundred years' time, we should fight at this time! Now that we fight a war, we can reduce the cost and payment of ten wars for future generations, even forever! ——Your majesty!!! Isn't that a good deal?! Is the 14 years of Zhenguan important, or the 10 years and 100 years of the Tang Dynasty important, and the Millennium inheritance of China important? "
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression did not change. He wrote lightly: "it's all important. However, if war is really necessary, I will never evade it. anytime. This is my attitude. "
"War is absolutely indispensable between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Even if your majesty marries Princess Gaoyang to Tubo, it may bring false peace for 10, 20, or even 30 years. However, contradictions and conflicts will always be overstocked, and it may be even more terrifying when they really break out. If we want to eliminate the war fundamentally, unless one side really falls down. In your Majesty's time, Tubo probably has no possibility to defeat the Tang Dynasty. But your majesty, can you guarantee that Tubo will be able to beat the Tang Dynasty in 100 or 200 years? What's more, the conflict and friction between Tubo and Tang Dynasty in the past 100 years and 200 years will take away many times of the revenue of Zhenguan's 14 years? " Qin mubai was astonishing again.
After listening, Li Shimin said nothing. Instead, he got up and stood with his hands down, walked to the window and looked up at the moon.
"I have thought of all you said. These are just some general principles. Anyone in the court who has a little insight may be able to understand. "
"It's true." Qin mubai came over and said, "I don't think I'm particularly brilliant. What's different is that in addition to sharing the worries for your majesty and solving the difficulties for the Tang Dynasty, I hope that our descendants can live a better life. "Li Shimin's expression slightly stagnated. He turned to look at Qin mubai and said, "this sentence is in my heart. I hope our descendants can live a better life. I'm not a God. I can't predict what will happen in a few decades or a hundred years. What I have done since I ascended the throne is to hope that my descendants and all the people of the Tang Dynasty will have a better life. Because of this idea, I am able to support all the new policies you have implemented in Lanzhou. From a short-term point of view, your measures will definitely cost the people and money, but from the perspective of history and the long-term interests of a century, this is a good deed from the top. There are many ministers in the court. What they care more about is what kind of good advice and advice they have given, how they can win the name of Qingshan or leave it in history. If they have made a temporary contribution, they will be happy. They can think of the beauty of such a grand plan, but they do not hesitate to oppose it because it is against their immediate goals and interests. To tell you the truth, sometimes I am disappointed with some people. However, from their own point of view, they are not wrong. They are all carrying out their duties. The only explanation is They don't have your sense of historical responsibility, mubai. "
"I'm really glad to get such praise from your majesty!" Qin mubai said with a heartfelt smile, "actually speaking. Although Wei Chen is only three years old, he is satisfied. He is famous all over the world. He married his Majesty's favorite princess, and the scenery is dazzling. But Wei Chen is not satisfied at all. The only and most important reason is that the Tang Dynasty can be better, stand at a higher historical height, and do more for future generations! Your majesty is a young man, and I am a young man. As soon as I think about the future, I'm excited to accompany your majesty to do many magnificent things
Today, Li Shimin showed his face for the first time. Although his smile was a bit tired, it was full of joy. He clapped Qin mubai's left and right shoulders with his hands. He said: "mubai, you and I can be regarded as friends who forget their years, regardless of the status of our monarch and my son-in-law. The four words "grand plan" and "ambition" have been said thousands of times in the past and this year. But in my eyes, Qin Shihuang is the only one who can really understand and implement it. Han martial arts is also good, but the Great Han has more martial arts and less culture, so there is a troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. I hope that the great Tang Dynasty, created by me, my ancestors and you distinguished officials, will achieve a new and temporary glory. "
Qin mubai nodded and said:
"I believe that Datang If we don't say that there will be no future, at least, there will be no precedent! "
