In the prince's mansion of Zhenguan Datang, there are strict regulations on the personnel system. The largest official below the prince is the prince of the third grade, which is equivalent to the prince's teacher, and is generally concurrently served by the court officials, and usually does not work in the prince's palace. Further down is the long history and Sima who led the officials and generals of the prince's mansion, and dozens of civil officials such as Peng, subordinates, secretaries and soldiers, and the main officer. The private soldiers of the Prince's Mansion generally have nearly 1,000 people, led by the principal and deputy commanders, and there are military attachés such as captains and brigade commanders below.

It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

Qin Mubai, the seven-grade Dongge sacrificial wine, not only has a lowly official position, but also has dispensable functions, and can be regarded as a small official who eats idle meals. It's no wonder that even the seventh-grade captain who guards the door doesn't take him seriously.

When he was on duty, it was Wu Wangfu Sima, surnamed Zhou, an old man in his fifties, who always looked sleepy-eyed and indifferent. I watched each of the palace officials draw circles on the booklet, yawn and leave. He didn't greet the newcomer Qin Mubai, arrange a ministry for him or anything else.

Qin Mubai himself found the office of the East Pavilion Sacrificial Wine, and showed his official certificate, but three of his subordinates came to greet him. An official kitchen for banquets and procurement, a musician and a good performer in the house, and a special wind instrument and kitchen utensils, tables and chairs.

Dongge sacrificial wine, this is really a boring and redundant official.

Qin Mubai instructed his subordinates to go their separate ways, and shook his head secretly.

Find Li Ke.

King Wu was still sleeping soundly, and instead of giving a notification, the guards guarding the bed also blasted Qin Mubai far away and waited outside the garden.

When he first arrived, Qin Mubai was not in a hurry. After waiting patiently outside the garden for a long time, he saw the door of King Wu's bedroom open, and two women walked out, accompanied by the maidservants.

I think it was the royal palace who slept with Li Ke last night. Seeing that these two women are not bad, and their posture is also wonderful, Li Ke knows how to enjoy it.

"Ah...... Ha! Li Ke yawned and stretched out of the room, his eyes were good, he glanced at Qin Mubai outside the garden, and laughed: "Haha, Mubai is here today, why don't you come into the hall and sit down and talk!" ”

"Do your bidding." Qin Mubai smiled and walked over. Li Ke laughed and stepped forward to take his hand, suddenly his face turned pale, and he shouted to the guard at the door: "Don't be unreasonable to Qin sacrifice wine in the future!" ”

"The last will obey." The school guards hugged their fists together and promised to make a promise, and the eyes that looked at Qin Mubai changed.

"Mu Bai, have you finally gotten the confession? Haha, this king is about to suffocate to death in the house all day long, it's good that you come, but there is someone to talk to. Li Ke seemed to be really excited, and he didn't give Qin Mubai a chance to speak, and he clapped his hands again and again, "Come on, serve tea!" ”

A team of maids and maids rushed in and placed a number of utensils in the hall, Qin Mubai didn't recognize a few. The golden hollow small furnace ding, like a jade roller of a medicine roll, a golden turtle as big as a palm, and a slender silver chopsticks connected by a thin chain...... I only know the set of blue-patterned green porcelain tea sets.

This is to drink tea, how come there are so many strange things that don't even see tea?

"Mu Bai, why didn't you bring the fourth sister?" Without waiting for Qin Mubai to speak, Li Ke got straight to the point.

Qin Mubai smiled: "Dare to love this tea today, can't you drink it?" ”

"Ahem...... Xiao Wang didn't mean that. Well, the fourth sister has always been the most fond of tea. Li Ke smiled self-deprecatingly, rubbed his hands, and said, "The blue moon brought by Anzhou is good tea!" First class tribute. The fourth sister definitely likes it. ”

As he was talking, two beautiful women with peach blossom faces and slender bodies knelt down in front of the pile of tea sets after giving a salute. A eunuch used a delicate copper shovel to get a pile of burning charcoal, and put it into the small golden furnace with silver chopsticks. The two Mei Ji raised their jade hands lightly and put a small porcelain urn containing water into the stove to stew, while the other lifted the top cover of the golden turtle, took out a piece of fragrant tea cake, and put it in a jade roller and grinded it carefully.

Between the gestures, there is the ultimate elegance and femininity.

This is the exquisite tea art and high-end tea set of the parade between the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention how precious this tea is, even this pair of silver chopsticks used to hold charcoal fire is also exquisite and beautiful, and it must be worth a lot.

"Will enjoy." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

Li Ke smiled: "What can I do now besides enjoyment?" My father ordered me to do nothing to introspect behind closed doors. ”

"It should always be possible to ride a horse and shoot arrows in the backyard of the palace."

"Of course." Li Ke slapped his face, "The archery skills of the generals in the mansion are really mediocre, and when you come, I have a partner and an opponent." After drinking tea, ride and shoot in the backyard! ”

"I'm happy to accompany you." Qin Mubai responded, but he was thinking in his heart: I want to find an appropriate time to ask him to change my ministry to do, preferably a military attaché, even if it is a low rank. An idle and boring official like Dongge Sacrificial Wine is really boring enough. Archery is my job, and my background is my label, and the ghost is happy to be a guest house administrator!

After drinking a cup of tea for an hour, the Tang Tea Ceremony can be described as broad and profound, and Qin Mubai can be regarded as having experienced it once. Not to mention that making tea is an extremely elaborate and delicate work, even in the process of drinking, there is a lot of knowledge.

A few years later, the envoys of the Eastern Ying Kingdom came to the Tang Dynasty to learn a little bit of this skill, and since then it has become the "tea ceremony" that they boast of.

The generals and officials in the palace were all called to the backyard polo range by Li Ke. This kind of archery competition is popular among the nobles and princes of the Tang Dynasty, and it has become a trend. But those who are outstanding in archery skills always have a sense of superiority that stands proudly in the crowd.

"Today is better than shooting hearts." Li Ke announced the rules, "One person, one target, ten arrows, whoever has the most hearts will win." The three winners will each receive a horse of silk, and the last three will be given three glasses of wine. Begin. ”

After that, Li Ke stepped forward first, shot ten arrows in a row, and hit nine red stars. There was a cheering all around. Archery is indeed good, it seems that the rumors of Li Ke's martial arts are outstanding, and it is not false.

A group of royal military academies gathered around to talk and laugh, and went to shoot arrows one after another. The level is uneven, and the best one has six red stars, and the overall level is indeed mediocre.

Qin Mubai caught his eye at the Fan Lieutenant who had stopped him at the gate of King Wu's Mansion before. watched him shoot, hit six red stars, and attracted a lot of applause. He also looked complacent, thinking that he had always been top-notch among the generals.

"This palace captain is easy to be." Qin Mubai said something inadvertently, just so that Li Ke, who was not far away, heard it.

"Huh? What does Mu Bai mean by this? Li Ke smiled knowingly when he heard this, "You don't seem to be happy to be this Dongge sacrificial wine?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't think so." Qin Mubai smiled and stepped forward with a bow. Those generals looked at Qin Mubai suspiciously and discussed privately.

"New here? It's very raw. ”

"Isn't this the Dongge sacrificial wine who plays the pipa, is it possible that he can also shoot arrows?"

In the midst of this discussion, Qin Mubai quickly shot ten arrows.

won eight red stars, only one less than Li Ke.

Amazement!

"I can't see it! Those who play the pipa can shoot arrows like this! ”

"It's worthy of being a tiger of the gate, tsk!"

Li Ke smiled on the side and clapped his hands: "Come here." This king first introduces you. This is the third son of Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yiguo, the newly appointed Dongge sacrificial wine - Qin Mubai. ”

Li Ke paused: "This king's best friend." ”

All the generals changed their faces together, and they clasped their fists neatly: "I've seen Qin sacrificial wine." ”

"Hmm. But the king has heard you just now. Since he is a Jiangmen Huzi and has such exquisite archery and martial arts, it is really condescending to be a Dongge sacrificial wine. Li Ke leisurely hooked his finger at Captain Fan, "You, out of the ranks." ”

"The end will be." Captain Fan stood up in surprise, and bowed with his fists in a little panic, feeling a little bad in his heart.

"You go to make that Dongge sacrificial wine, and Qin Mubai will take over your position as the captain of the inner account. You two, swap. Li Ke wrote lightly.

"Huh? ......" Captain Fan was stunned on the spot.

"Do you have an opinion?" Li Ke stared at him, Captain Fan's face turned white, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed: "The last general...... Oh no, thank you for your grace! ”

"Your Highness." Qin Mubai thanked him, looked at Li Ke and smiled, and the two of them tacitly agreed.

This Li Ke is really meticulous and righteous. Leading soldiers is much more interesting than leading a group of cooks and musicians. The Tang Dynasty is martial and attaches great importance to military merits, and the status of soldiers is not comparable to the head of excellent workers.

is just a sentence from Li Ke, and Captain Fan has changed from a majestic captain of the Prince's Mansion to a leisurely Dongge sacrificial wine, and the grievance in his heart is gone. But Li Ke's words are golden rules in this prince's mansion, and Qin Mubai is Li Ke's "best friend", so he can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

I regret only regretting this morning, why did I neglect this Qin Mubai for no reason? Damn it......

Captain Fan glanced at Qin Mubai a few times, and his eyes were quite resentful. The other generals were instantly impressed by Qin Mubai - although he was still a seventh-grade official, his rank had not changed by a bit, but in the minds of everyone, his status had risen to a thousand feet, and he could still compare with these ordinary officials.

At the end of the arrow competition, all the generals dispersed in turn, and Qin Mubai smiled and bowed his hand to Li Ke: "Thank you." ”

"What a little bit of a matter, what is there to be thankful for?" Li Ke smiled lightly, "It was just an expedient measure to invite you to make this Dongge sacrificial wine, and I didn't know that such an official position was not suitable for your identity at all." The subordinate officials in this palace, no more than five grades or more, can be decided by myself. The seven-rank captain will do it first, and after a while, he will promote you to be the five-rank army, and all the eight hundred soldiers in the palace will be under your command. Qin Shubao's son didn't lead the troops when he came, and outsiders would laugh at me when he said it, and I was jealous of whether I could use people. ”

"Then I can only thank you. However, it is better to wait for me to make some achievements, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. Qin Mubai said with a smile. He also knew in his heart that Li Ke might be a little nostalgic for his old feelings, but more often than not, he was actually showing favor to Qin Shubao, and the main purpose was to target Qin Shuang'er.

If you climb to the top by relying on such nepotism, although it is easy, it is obviously not a glorious thing. Moreover, if Qin Shubao still does not allow this marriage, he will be even more embarrassed.

Li Ke's excessive enthusiasm and special care made Qin Mubai feel a little uncomfortable. It seems that being an official in King Wu's Mansion is not a long-term solution, and it is difficult to get rid of the embarrassment of relying on nepotism.

"You and I don't have to be so polite!" Li Ke smiled indifferently, patted Qin Mubai's shoulder and walked forward. The subordinate brought two horses, he turned over the horse neatly, and said with a smile on the horse: "Come, Bibi rides and shoots." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Qin Mubai jumped into the saddle and sat down, and the two of them each picked up a cavalry horn bow and galloped away.

Compared to the longbow used by infantry, the horn bow is slightly shorter, but the bow is stiffer and stronger, and requires more brawn to fire. Mounted archery has always been the most difficult part of archery. In the Tang Army, those who are outstanding in cavalry and archery will be incorporated into the Vietnamese cavalry team, which is the most valuable and fierce team, and is the vanguard blade that urges the city to break through the enemy base in the battle.

It's like in modern society, although there are many people who can play basketball, there are only a few who can dunk.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke are now competing with a slam dunk.

Although the foundation of archery is more than a star and a half stronger than Li Ke, Qin Mubai's riding and archery practice is not long. With the riding technique to shoot, he is really not much stronger than Li Ke. Even if he tried his best, he was on a par with Li Ke.

"Rejoice! is still a person like Mu Bai, who is worthy of being the opponent of this king! Li Ke laughed on the horse. Qin Mubai landed next to him on his horse, and was about to speak, when he suddenly found that a ball of green things on the side of the wall flashed and fell to the ground with a bang.

The two of them looked at it, and it turned out to be a colorful ball with lace and silk.

"Kicked over next door, someone is playing Keju?" Li Ke immediately stepped forward to pick up the color bow, and put it in front of his nose and smelled it, "There is a fragrance." The woman kicks the color bow. ”

Datang's style of playing Keju is more unique, and it is a comparison of who kicks high and kicks far. No, a colored ball was kicked from the yard next door.

At this time, a chirping female voice sounded next door.

"Oops, kicked it over, what to do? That's Wu Wangfu! ”

"Who's going to pick it up? Who's going to pick it up? ”

"Pick it up, it's lucky not to be blamed by King Wu, I hope there is no one in the backyard of the palace at this time!"

Li Ke smiled mysteriously: "Mu Bai, do you think I should blame them, or kick them back, or let's just go over and play with them?" ”

"You don't have to choose, you say 'or' so kindly." Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing. This Li Ke is obviously a romantic seed.

"Good advice. Walk. Li Ke didn't say a word, turned over and got on his horse and was about to leave.

"Luckily, you don't have the 'over the wall' item in your options. Who's next door? ”

"It doesn't matter which family it is, I just remember that there are a few beautiful sisters living there, and they are famous." Li Ke walked forward indifferently, "Let's go, let the beauty wait for a long time, and the scenery will be ruined." ”

"It's as if someone made an appointment with you...... Talented people. Like me, I was destined to commit peach blossoms. Qin Mubai hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and happily patted his horse to follow.

Flowers bloom and break.

Taking the initiative to create such a thing, Qin Mubai has always been more interested. It's good this time, but I also met a guy like Li Ke who smells like him and is powerful.
