I returned to the barracks to take care of military affairs for a while, and it was not too early,.。。 Qin Mubai called Pang Fei to his room and secretly taught him the opportunity.

"Teacher, why did the emperor suddenly allow you to take such a long vacation this time, aren't the two little highnesses inseparable from you, is there something hidden in it?" Pang Fei asked.

"There's no secret, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Qin Mubai said, "I called you here to explain an important and confidential matter to you. ”

"Teacher, please speak!" Pang Fei immediately sat down, waiting for Qin Mubai's instructions.

"If a third person knows about this, you and my heads will definitely fall off. Moreover, it may also cause harm to the family. Qin Mubai said solemnly, "So, you must think clearly about your reply." ”

"Uh...... So serious? Pang Fei's face changed in fright, but he immediately gritted his teeth, "Wealth and wealth are in danger, once you follow your teacher, you will follow your teacher for the rest of your life!" Do not seek to live together, but to die together. Teacher, just say it, the apprentices must do this thing well! ”

"I don't want you to curse or swear, I believe you. It's a simple thing, but just be careful. Qin Mubai said, "Before I explain this task to you, I will tell you another confidential matter. In a few days, the eldest grandson will be gone. There will be a vacancy for the deputy envoy of the hundred horsemen......"

"Really?!" Pang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, but he immediately smiled awkwardly, "The apprentice is still just a team leader, and he doesn't dare to be ambitious." But with a teacher, there is hope for the disciples. Teacher, if you have something, just explain it, and you will do your best to do it well. I know that my teacher has never treated me badly, but I also have to make more meritorious contributions and do more things for my teacher, so that I can deserve it! ”

"Well said. I'm glad you have such an awareness. Qin Mubai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now you listen well." During the ten days that I was away, if there was any sudden change in Princess Gaoyang's marriage, you must find a way to leave the palace and send me a letter. ”

Pang Fei was stunned: "That's it?" ”

"That's all."

"Teacher, are you done?"

"Nonsense!" Qin Mubai glared at him, "Or do you think I really asked you to do something particularly dangerous?" It's just that you have to be very careful about this matter and don't let anyone know. If you contact me, you can't go to the Qin Mansion in a grand manner, I'll tell you a place to go - in the southwest of Qujiangfang in the south of Chang'an City, there is a deserted village, where there is a farmhouse, where there are demon girls and a group of orphan girls. You can go there and find me. ”

"It turns out that the demon girl lives there......" Pang Fei laughed twice and nodded, "Don't worry, teacher, this little thing is still done in vain." ”

"Shut up! Is it all the wind in my ears? What I told you before was no nonsense. If you do this thing a little bit and leak the news, it must be a matter of losing your head! Qin Mubai scolded sharply.

Pang Fei's heart tightened, his face changed, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Yes, remember that you will never dare to be slack!" ”

That night, Qin Mubai quietly left the palace and returned home at night.

Qin's mansion was quiet, but the lights were still on in Qin Shubao's room. Qin Mubai didn't want to disturb his father's rest, but Qin Shubao was alert to find that someone was coming to the house, opened the door and saw that it was Qin Mubai, and called, "Is it San Lang?" ”

"Dad, it's me." Qin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward, "It's getting late, the child is going to come back tomorrow to greet his father." ”

"Come in."

The father and son entered the house, and Qin Mubai stood beside his father, feeling a little bad in his heart. Looking at the situation, Qin Shubao was not in a very good mood today, and his face was very calm.

"I knew you would come back."

"Oh? How did my father find out? Qin Shubao asked in surprise.

Qin Shubao glanced at Qin Mubai and said lightly: "My father has followed the emperor for so many years, and it is not for nothing. I know a little bit about his temperament and habits. Right now, the marriage of Princess Gaoyang is in turmoil all over the city. At this time, the emperor will definitely let you leave the palace temporarily in order to avoid suspicion. ”

"Father said ......" Qin Mubai nodded, "Not only that, but the emperor also found an excuse to reward me greatly. In the next few days, someone will be sent to give me a house. ”

"Really?" Qin Shubao's brows furrowed slightly, the stars in his eyes flickered and pondered for a moment, and then nodded suddenly in realization, "Not bad." There has been no punishment but reward, this is indeed the emperor's style of acting. In this way, you owe the emperor a great favor, and you are grateful to him in your heart. And when he acted like this, he undoubtedly declared to everyone that the relationship between you and Princess Gaoyang is innocent, and it is by no means as rumored by the outside world. ”

"The father is wise, and the child thinks so in his heart!" Qin Mubai responded, "Originally, the child did not have anything to do with Princess Gaoyang, except that he was the main minister, at most he was only a friend. The hundred horses served the royal family, and the princess had to obey me, so I had fun with her a few times. Moreover, the children are also trying to prevaricate as much as possible. This time, it was actually Princess Gaoyang herself who opposed marrying into the Fang family and took advantage of the child. ”

"Father believes in you in this matter." Qin Shubao said firmly, "You don't have to explain anything to me. I just hope that this matter will pass as soon as possible, and you will not interfere or be involved again. You know what? ”

"The child knows." Qin Mubai nodded in response, but secretly said in his heart: How can there be such an easy thing? The plan I had with Princess Gaoyang was only half implemented, and it was ready to be launched. Otherwise, then I am designing to frame her, how can Princess Gaoyang give up with me?

"When this matter settles, you don't want to stay in Baiqi anymore." Qin Shubao suddenly said something shocking.

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything, just nodded: "The child thinks the same way." In the palace, there are dangers everywhere, and it is really not a place of peace. Although the scenery of the hundred horsemen is favored, it is actually more dangerous than fighting in battle, and he is always playing with his head in his hands. Rather than that, I might as well be transferred to the army and become a real general. It is better to die like this than to die in the midst of a cold spear and a secret arrow. ”

"Looks like you're aware of it yourself, and that's good." Qin Shubao stroked his long hair and nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "Actually, my father has already entered the palace and met Your Majesty. ”

"When?" Qin Mubai was even more surprised. My father hadn't appeared in the court for a few years, and this time he actually went to see the emperor.

"Today." Qin Shubao said, "Just when the matter between you and Princess Gaoyang was spreading, my father entered the palace to see the emperor. ”

"What did my father do? Is it to intercede for me? Qin Mubai asked.

"Of course not." Qin Shubao was still calm, and said word by word, "On the contrary, ask for your father's life and let the emperor give you death!" ”

！

Qin Mubai was suddenly shocked in his heart at first, but immediately calmed down and nodded: "Father did the right thing...... If you plead, the Emperor may really kill me. In fact, this afternoon, the child did the opposite and coped with the past. ”

"What's the matter?"

Qin Mubai told Qin Shubao about the eldest grandson.

"Not bad. It seems that during these days, you have grown a lot of energy, and you have not followed the emperor in vain. Qin Shubao nodded and said, "The emperor is the Ming monarch, the holy lord, he has a keen eye and a unique opinion, whoever wants to use slander to complain to the emperor, not only will it have no effect, but will cause trouble for himself." Changsun Jian is an example, you did it very right. In the same way, if your father begs the emperor not to kill you, he may really kill you. Because it will make him even more convinced in his heart that you are guilty. Otherwise, why should I intercede for you? The emperor is such a character, you will have to keep it in mind in the future. ”

"Yes. During this time, the child also has a deep understanding. Qin Mubai sighed, shook his head, and said, "The child feels that the emperor is almost hand-eyed, and he seems to be able to see through other people's minds. I remembered what my father had said to me before I entered the palace. At that time, you said that you should never forget that the emperor is the one who controls everything. He must be taken into account in everything he is doing on an errand in the palace, and he must not be ignored at any time. Now it seems that my father's teachings are incomparably correct. Child, but at some point he was a little careless, which led to some trouble today. This time, it was a painful lesson! ”

"It's never too late to wake up." Qin Shubao said, "You can rest at home for a period of time, and try not to go out." After this period of limelight, you can find a way to ask for an external transfer, and you can find another errand to do. Don't worry, the emperor will definitely promise you. ”

Qin Mubai thought for a moment and nodded: "Father is right." Now, the emperor wants me to leave the sight of Princess Gaoyang, and it would be better if I could disappear in Chang'an. And the child also felt it, and he was trying to transfer power to the hundred horses. He let the child rest for ten days, firstly, to calm down the turmoil and dilute the rumors, and secondly, there were hundreds of horsemen who began to reorganize. The eldest grandson is definitely going to be laid off, and Li Junxian takes his place, and he also holds the position of Changshi. In this way, it won't be long before Li Junxian can completely take over Baiqi and replace me. ”

"Not bad...... This was indeed the emperor's habitual method. Qin Shubao sighed lightly and said, "He is the world that he won from the war horse, and he is very good at governing the army." When the hundred horses were just formed, Li Junxian was with you. The name is assistant, but it is actually an overseer. For the emperor, no one under him is essential, there will always be a replacement. You are no exception, the emperor's foreshadowing was planted early. ”

"Yes, the child understood it from the beginning." Qin Mubai said, "It is impossible for the emperor to let any courtier dominate. Even if it's just a small army of 100 cavalry, he has absolute control. Children seem to be indispensable, but they can be replaced in an instant, which is the genius of the emperor. ”

"Yes. Encountering such an emperor, as courtiers, is both a blessing and a sorrow. Qin Shubao seemed to fall into endless memories, and said leisurely, "Therefore, at any time, we must not be pampered and arrogant and think that we are unique and irreplaceable. There are many people who have made such mistakes, so take this as a warning! ”
