"What are you stunned about, go quickly!" Li Ke coughed dryly, pretending to be a straight face and said with a little embarrassment.

"Okay......" Qin Mubai answered and entered the West Cross Courtyard, and came to the little sister's room and knocked on the door. Qin Shuang'er was really at home and opened the door: "Is there something wrong with the third brother?" ”

"Come into the house and talk."

"Why are you so mysterious?" Qin Shuang'er sat beside Qin Mubai in confusion and asked.

Qin Mubai rolled his eyes, and smiled with a slightly strange and ambiguous expression: "King Wu is here." ”

"What, he's coming?" Qin Shuang'er opened her beautiful eyes in surprise, her face was slightly red, and she smiled shyly and said to herself, "Didn't he go to Anzhou to be the governor, when did he come back?" ”

"This kind of question, you better ask him in person, I'm not interested in being your mouthpiece." Qin Mubai smiled.

"What kind of microphone, it's really ......" Qin Shuang'er's face turned even redder, pulled Qin Mubai's sleeve, and said timidly, "Third brother, does Daddy know that he came to our house?" ”

"Nature knows. King Wu made a special trip to visit his father and gave two boxes of gifts brought from Anzhou. ”

"That's it......" Qin Shuang'er blinked her big eyes a few times and shook her head hesitantly, "Then you go and talk to King Wu...... Just say, I'm not at home. ”

"Huh?" Qin Mubai frowned suspiciously, and he had a slight understanding of the little man and woman between them.

If the estimate is good, there is some friendship between Li Ke and the fourth sister, but his father Qin Shubao is not so approveful.

"Hurry up!" Qin Shuang'er pulled Qin Mubai and pushed him out, with a happy and embarrassed expression, and said in a loud voice, "Just tell him...... In two days, if it is convenient, I will make an appointment with him to go out to play. ”

"Sure enough." Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, and patted his little sister's head lightly, "I know, silly girl." ”

When he came out of the room and came to the outside of the courtyard, Li Ke asked a little eagerly, "Where is Sister Shuang'er?" ”

"She said she wasn't home." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Uh......" Li Ke was stunned, and then smiled bitterly twice, "Okay, okay, I know." Let's go and learn some archery! ”

"I'm happy to accompany you."

With a bow and an arrow on their backs, the two came to the backyard shooting range. Without waiting to open the bow, Li Ke suddenly let out a long sigh, with a melancholy look on his face.

"What's wrong with Your Highness?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Nothing." The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head with a worried look.

"Just because of the fourth sister?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"Of course not. That's what I'm going to do? Li Ke glared at Qin Mubai angrily, sighed, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "You say, what else in this world can make me Li Ke so worried?" ”

Qin Mubai's heart lit up slightly: Li Ke, a prince with noble blood, apart from royal affairs, what else could make him so depressed? …… But it's a matter of royal family affairs, so it's better not to participate easily.

"Your Highness doesn't have to think too much, let's concentrate on the arrow!" Qin Mubai deliberately diverted the topic.

"Hey, this doesn't look like you!" Li Kehu turned his handsome face suspiciously, stared at Qin Mubai with dragon eyes and phoenix eyes, and said, "I've been in the door for so long, why haven't you ever asked - how did I come back from Anzhou?" ”

"Haha, it's not too late to ask, right?" Qin Mubai smiled casually. There was a rule in the Zhenguan Dynasty that all adult princes had to go to other places to be officials, and they were not allowed to return to Beijing unless they were called by the imperial court under special circumstances - then, why did Li Ke suddenly return to Beijing now?

"I was impeached by the imperial history and demoted back." Li Ke took a long breath, his thick eyebrows twisted and said depressedly, "I just returned home after being scolded by my father, and I was depressed, so I thought of coming to your house to chat and relax." Chang'an is so big, maybe only Qinfu is a clean place, and it doesn't stir up dust. ”

Qin Mubai nodded, thinking that his father had been sick and bedridden for the past few years, although he still held the official position of General Zuo Wuwei, he basically ignored any government and military affairs, and got out of the disputes between the government and the opposition.

"A clean place doesn't stir up dust", Li Ke's words revealed some helplessness.

"Then why was Your Highness degraded?" Qin Mubai asked.

With a sound of "brush", Li Ke drew his bow and shot an arrow quickly, and the sound of "Du" hit the red heart, the arrow passed through the target, and the tail of the arrow trembled and buzzed.

"Hu ......" may have vented some resentment, Li Ke took a long breath and said: "The rhetoric of the impeachment of the imperial history is - excessive hunting and riding on the fields, poor and luxurious, enjoying gambling habits. ”

"That's it?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Then what else do you think can be, murder and arson to plot treason? This alone has removed me from my position as governor and cut down 300 households. That's it, my father summoned me back to the palace and scolded me, which was really uncomfortable. Li Ke's face became more and more unsightly.

"Such a heavy punishment?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but shake his head.

It seems that the laws of the Tang Dynasty are really strict, and Li Shimin's requirements for his children are also very strict - the prince violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

Li Ke, the dignified prince and emperor's son, probably had the problem of extravagance and excessive love for gambling, and then went out hunting and trampled on the farmland, so he was punished so heavily. What would happen if he drove 70 yards and killed a few people?

Also, why don't the officials of the Zhenguan Dynasty know how to "behave"?

According to "reason", it will be over for the prince to commit such a trivial matter to help hide and hide, who will risk offending the prince to make a small report, not to mention that someone will take the initiative to report and expose or even come forward to impeach.

"It seems that the officialdom atmosphere of this Zhenguan Tang Dynasty is indeed a little different......" Qin Mubai thought so.

The royal family's family affairs are often the core of the whirlpool of political torrents, Qin Mubai didn't want to inquire too much, so he diverted the topic and persuaded Li Ke for a while, so that he could temporarily let go of these unpleasant things and shoot arrows for a while.

"It's a lot of strength, Mu Bai." Li Ke said with amazement, "It's really a matter of three days, I can't imagine that your archery skills have improved to such a level, tsk, did the Yiguo Gong privately allocate you a lot?" ”

"Of course." Qin Mubai, who shot a few arrows at random, said with a smile, "With my dull qualifications, if it weren't for my father holding a whip every day to urge me to practice hard, how could I practice to such an extent?" However, it seems that His Highness's archery skills are still superior. ”

"Haha, you've really changed. Didn't you compete for the limelight before? Now I have changed to low-key and cautious, and I have learned to pat myself on the back. Li Ke laughed, "However, this sycophant is well shot, I like it." ”

"Haha!" Qin Mubai also laughed a few times.

This Li Ke did not imagine the big frame and domineering posture unique to the children of the royal family, but was a bit approachable as a brother of the Linjia family. Get along, it feels pretty good.

"Hey, if you have time another day, bring Shuang'er to my house for a small gathering?" Li Ke laughed in a low voice, "Although I was relegated back to Beijing, I didn't forget to bring some good specialty tea back." Shuang'er has always liked to drink tea and eat snacks, and she will be happy. ”

"Why don't you ask me what I like best? No good, no work. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"What are you......" Li Ke raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully, "Arrange for two beautiful girls to take a bath for you, and pull a thin milk veil in the middle." Enjoying spring in a hazy place is a great enjoyment of life! What do you think? ”

"......," Qin Mubai shook his head with a depressed wry smile, speechless. It seems that the glorious deeds that I can't remember clearly have been so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The two of them were chatting energetically, and a servant of the palace hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Highness forgives the villain, it's rude...... Third young master, the master asked you to go to the front house quickly and get ready to drive. ”

"Welcome?" Qin Mubai and Li Ke were shocked at the same time.

"Yes!" The servant said quickly, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived in person, and he has arrived at the mansion to see the third young master by name!" ”

"What, the emperor is really here?" Qin Mubai and Li Ke were taken aback together and looked at each other.

"Your Highness, are you evasive?" Qin Mubai said.

"I came to visit my teacher openly, why should I hide and be ashamed to meet people?" Li Ke's thick eyebrows twisted slightly, and he waved his hand, "Let's go, I'll go with you to meet you." ”

The two put down their bows and arrows, straightened their clothes, and went to the front hall.

At the entrance of the front yard, there are already two rows of guards of the Royal Forest Army, which are impressive. In the front hall, the main seat was actually two people sitting opposite each other. One of them is naturally Qin Shubao.

The other person, Qin Mubai, didn't quite recognize it, but saw that his facial features were somewhat similar to Li Ke, wearing a black gauze head gold and white brocade robe, and a jade belt boot moire embroidered robe.

In contrast, Qin Shubao, the head of the family, who is usually not angry and powerful, is also restrained and slightly restrained at the moment, and even his sitting posture is not like the original Malaysian golden knife.

"Looking at this frame, this stranger must be Li Shimin, the emperor of the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty, right? I have long heard that Li Shimin treats his courtiers like family, which is different from the emperors of previous dynasties. Now he was on an equal footing with my father, and it seemed that he was indeed a man of Corporal Lixian. When Qin Mubai was secretly thinking in his heart, Li Ke had already walked over, shook his robe and worshiped on the ground: "Sons and daughters visit their father, long live, long live, long live!" ”

After Li Kai was salute, Qin Mubai also went over to see him.

Li Shimin exempted the two of them, looked at Li Ke with an expressionless face but not without majesty, and said: "Ke'er, you don't reflect on yourself in the mansion, why did you come to the Qin Mansion to disturb you?" ”

Li Ke stood aside with his hands and looked at his nose and nose, and replied with a bowed voice: "Father's grace." The sons know that their sins are deep, and they are always heartbroken and reflective. Today, I came to visit Yiguo Gong, but I just entered the filial piety of the master and apprentice to listen to the teachings. Although the prince of Yiguo and his sons did not have the name of master and apprentice, they had taught his sons archery in their early years, so they ......"

"Well, respect the teacher, don't count your mistakes. Yiguo Gong is virtuous and noble, and there are indeed many places worth learning from your humble mind. Li Shimin waved his hand, "Since you're here, let's be a guest with me." The wine of this Qin Mansion is not so easy to drink. ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty is the lord of the world, how can you say 'guest', isn't this making fun of Weichen for being stingy?" Qin Shubao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so unlucky, recently Weichen got a jar of medicinal wine that can cure wind and cold legs, and the unusually strong fragrance has never been seen before." If you are brave today, you can use it to offer your majesty a drink. ”

"Haha, with Shubao's knowledge, the good wine that can be praised so much must not be bad, then our father and son will be full of happiness today." Li Shimin smiled lightly, "Kaiguo State has been marching and fighting for decades, who doesn't have a little wind and cold and wet bones, I will have to bargain for a big bargain today." ”

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Wechen has to say ugly things to the front: Your Majesty is used to drinking the world's precious palace brew in the palace, don't let the bitter wine of the village mash in Weichen's mansion spoil your appetite. Qin Shubao smiled, "Liang'er, why don't you go to get the wine?" ”

"Yes." Qin Mubai answered with his hand and went out to get wine. I couldn't help laughing in my heart: Dad is really interesting, he wants to show off the medicinal wine I brewed in front of the emperor.

After Qin Mubai left, Li Shimin stroked some of the black beards under his chin and smiled: "Tiger father has no dogs. Uncle Bao, this San Lang of your family is a rare talent! ”

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Qin Shubao couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Dog Zi Liang'er, since he was a child, he has a stubborn temperament and does not listen to education, only the name of laziness and sloppiness is criticized, and Weichen has always been deeply ashamed that iron does not become steel. ”

"Haha, this is not your father, who doesn't know his son so much." Li Shimin smiled heartily, "I'll tell you the truth, I came to your house today with two intentions. First, of course, it is to visit you and reminisce about your illness; Second, it's for your family's San Lang! ”

"What?" Qin Shubao couldn't help but be a little moved, and said with a straight face, "Your Majesty, but what mistake did this unscrupulous rebel make outside?" If His Majesty speaks like this, Weichen will kill him in the palm of his hand in an instant! ”

"Uncle Bao, what are you doing here?" Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged and he still smiled, and he reached out and patted Qin Shubao's shoulder, "Relax my second brother Qin." We have lived and died together in the blood and fire for decades, the upper hall is the monarch and the minister, and the lower hall is the brother. Isn't your son my nephew? Rest assured, I am not here to ask the teacher for sin, and I don't need you to kill your relatives with righteousness. On the contrary, I have come to learn from your San Lang, a teacher. ”

"What?!" Qin Shubao was stunned for a moment, Danfeng's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Shimin in confusion, and the whole person seemed to be a little stunned.

Li Ke, who was standing in the lower seat, was also stunned and confused.

"Haha, just let me sell it, you'll know later! - Ke'er, you also take a seat and sit down, today will open your eyes! Li Shimin said with a good smile.

"Thank you, Father." Li Ke walked to the side of the next seat, knelt on the couch, and thought to himself in surprise: It's strange, my father actually wants to learn from Qin Mubai. What to learn? How did you climb the wall to peep at the big girl bathing...... How can I think that?
