At night, Qin Mubai picked up the lamp to study the military book, and felt a lot, and his admiration and admiration for Li Jing in his heart went to another level. In the early morning, he practiced martial arts with his father for an hour as usual, and then prepared to go out to the Jiangxia Palace.

Qin Shubao looked at his son dressed up and ready to go out, and knew that he must have something important to do without asking, and couldn't help laughing: "San Lang, you are really a complete instrument now, there are banquets and banquets at both ends in three days, where are you going today?" ”

Qin Mubai smiled back and said, "Dad, when we were in King Wu's mansion yesterday, King Jiangxia casually invited us to his house for a small gathering, so we went to the meeting. ”

"Well, Li Daozong is really a good person and can have deep friendships. Go ahead! Qin Shubao waved his hand.

Qin Mubai thought for a while and said, "Dad, I feel that Li Daozong is also a resourceful person who is rough on the outside and resourceful on the inside, he just arrived in Chang'an, why did he come to invite me to his mansion?" Moreover, he invited me but not you, which seems a bit unreasonable, and it seems that it is not an ordinary small feast. ”

Qin Shubao frowned lightly and said, "I can't think of a reason for it. If he did this, he must have his reason. You just go, don't worry. ”

"Yes, Dad." Qin Mubai left with confidence. Originally, he was just worried about the arrogant Qin Shubao, but he was not very happy to see his son being invited to him but being left out in the cold, but now it seems that he is a little worried. After recovering from his body, Qin Shubao's former heroism has also returned, even his heart has become broader, and he has become more confident and open-minded.

was also on the way, so Qin Mubai went to King Wu's Mansion first and invited Li Ke's brothers and sisters to go to the banquet together. Li Ke got up early and studied in the hall. Princess Gao Yang was still asleep. Li Ke said that no one can provoke this little girl when she falls asleep, if someone wakes her up, it must be a lightning and thunderous deed, and she wants to kill someone.

Qin Mubai was happy: "I don't believe it, I have to try." ”

"You might be an exception." Li Ke said seriously, "Such a difficult task is entrusted to you." Go, get her out of bed. The prince's family banquet can't be delayed, otherwise it will be rude! ”

"Yes—Your Highness!" Qin Mubai also pretended to raise his voice and answered, and walked to Princess Gaoyang's room.

There were two maids guarding and serving in front of the door, and seeing that Qin Mubai was coming, the two little women gently pushed open the door and motioned him in, and they flashed away with a giggling smile.

Qin Mubai entered the room to cover the door, walked through the vermilion curtain, and saw Princess Gaoyang sleeping on the soft couch with the pink palace yarn incense boudoir tent.

"Huh...... A dignified princess, sleeping so ugly! Qin Mubai couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

I saw Princess Gaoyang sleeping on the bed on all fours, a little girl with pink carved feet still stretched out of the quilt, her hands spread out and placed on her side, tilting her head and pressing her face against the pillow, sleeping very soundly, a trace of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth, and a string of small bubbles was blown.

"Haha, goldfish!" Qin Mubai laughed happily.

"Uh......h Which begging to die yells! Princess Gaoyang was woken up, and when she opened her eyes dimly, she saw that it was Qin Mubai, and she was immediately happy, "Hehe, I must be dreaming!" - Don't wake up, don't wake up! Go back to sleep! ”

After that, Princess Gaoyang shrank into the quilt again and fell asleep with a pillow in her arms.

"Pigs!" Qin Mubai laughed and scolded, "Don't get up soon, the sun is drying your butt!" ”

"Hehe, I won't get up, are you biting me?" Princess Gaoyang refused to get up on the bed, hugged the pillow and didn't open her eyes, and said with a beautiful smile, "Thief Military Academy, stinky man, you are so well-behaved today, you came to accompany me early." ”

"Look at your bear-like appearance, it's really unorthodox." Qin Mubai walked to her couch and sat down, slapped her on the quilt against the position of her buttocks, "Get up, King Wu and I are waiting for you to go to Jiangxia Palace!" ”

"No, no, I won't!" Princess Gaoyang giggled and dodged, playing coquettish, "You beg me, beg me to get up!" ”

While speaking, Princess Gao Yang also stretched out her little feet from the quilt and poked them in Qin Mubai's face, and said with a mischievous smile: "I'll scratch your pig nostrils, hehe!" ”

"Hey, it stinks!" Qin Mubai was amused, laughed and grabbed her little feet and scratched the soles of her feet. Princess Gaoyang screamed and twisted on the bed, laughing like she was about to cramp: "Let go!" Stinky man let go, ouch help, it's itching to death! ”

"Look at you still can't get out of bed!" Qin Mubai let go of his hand at this time, looking at Princess Gaoyang's disheveled hair and loose clothes, sleepy-eyed, and couldn't help laughing, "It's really like a little lazy cat." ”

"Hey, hey!" Princess Gao Yang jumped up, crawled around on the bed like a cat and rolled twice, giggling, "Hello cat!" Sleep all day long, you don't have to do anything to eat, it's beautiful and cute! I'm going to be a little lazy cat - can I be your little lazy cat, stinky man? ”

"I don't have cats, only pigs." Qin Mubai said seriously.

Princess Gaoyang shivered coldly, and hurriedly got into the quilt again, revealing only a small face, her eyes shining and looking at Qin Mubai with an extremely nymphomaniac, without speaking.

"Silly, why are you looking at me like this?" Qin Mubai also looked himself up and down, "There's nothing wrong!" ”

"It's so wrong." Princess Gao Yang smiled mysteriously, "You know what, stinky man. Once upon a time, this was my dream! ”

"What dreams?"

"That's it...... When you wake up and open your eyes, you can see you! Princess Gao Yang's face was slightly reddened, a little embarrassed, but more of a warm and satisfied smile, "I want you to pick me up, dress me, and help me dress up." Also, you promised to give me a thrush for the rest of your life! Today, you give me a thrush! ”

"Okay, you're still in bed, how can I give you a thrush? I'm afraid that eyebrow pencil will be stained by your eye droppings. Qin Mubai laughed, and suddenly stepped forward to grab Princess Gaoyang, and grabbed her out of the quilt like a kitten.

Princess Gao Yang screamed in fright, and then giggled. His arms wrapped around Qin Mubai's neck, and then his legs were wrapped around his waist, wrapping around him like an otter.

The faces of the two are very close to each other, and the big eyes are small eyes, and they are about to become cross-eyed.

"Fool, don't you kiss me?" Princess Gao Yang sneered.

"Originally, I also wanted to kiss, but you didn't brush your teeth, I'm afraid of bad breath." Qin Mubai smiled even worse.

"Wow!" Princess Gaoyang was annoyed, kissed Qin Mubai's lips domineeringly, and desperately drilled her little tongue into his mouth. Qin Mubai deliberately closed his teeth to prevent him from getting in, which annoyed Princess Gaoyang, and he freed up one hand to carry his ear.

Qin Mubai slapped her on the buttocks: "Okay, don't make trouble, I'm going to catch a cold in a while!" ”

"I'm going to stink you to death, hehe! You still dare to dislike me! Princess Gaoyang's pink cheeks were red, both ashamed and excited, and she was a little worried that Qin Mubai would see her embarrassment, so she was embarrassed to avoid his gaze. In the end, I simply buried my head in his shoulder and hugged him tightly and did not let go.

"Well, you're so warm, I really want to rely on you for the rest of my life......" Princess Gao Yang closed her eyes and whispered beautifully.

Qin Mubai scratched the center of her feet again and said, "Don't get dressed yet, your feet are cold." ”

"I don't! Every morning when I wake up, I have to take a shower first! Grab me and take me to the shower! Princess Gaoyang giggled, coquettish.

"! Could it be that I will hold you like this and swagger through the market in King Wu's Mansion? Qin Mubai couldn't cry or laugh.

"I just want it!"

"If you're petty, I'll throw you away?"

"Okay, okay, you put me in the quilt. Go out and call Xiao Cui'er, she will come in and wait for me to bathe and change clothes! Princess Gao Yang giggled, then let go of her hand and obediently shrank into the quilt.

"Hey, you're so naughty!" Qin Mubai wiped a handful of unwarranted cold sweat from his forehead, shook his head and left the room with a smile.

"Remember to come in and give me a thrush in a moment! ——”

"It's my mother-in-law again!"

……

Qin Mubai came to Li Ke's study, Li Ke glanced at Qin Mubai up and down, and couldn't help but smile: "How is it, eat turtles, right?" That little girl is the hardest to serve when she gets up every day. ”

"The bed is up, but it is estimated that it will take an hour to shower, change clothes, and dress up." Qin Mubai smiled bitterly.

"That's it, let her be!" Li Ke smiled, put down the book and said, "There is still time, I happen to have something to talk to you about." ”

"Well, Your Highness, please speak." Qin Mubai sat down opposite him.

"That's right. After the Jiangzhou case this time, although I was regained my official position because of my meritorious service, I actually took advantage of a convenience. Li Ke said.

"What's the convenience?" Qin Mubai asked.

"I don't know why, my father suddenly had a whim and wanted to promulgate the system of 'hereditary assassination history'." Li Ke said, "All princes and princes, as well as the founding heroes, prime ministers and others, must be named hereditary assassins." I, too, are in this case. ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be surprised: "Hereditary? Could it be that the emperor wants to follow the example of the past dynasty and divide the king of Fan? ”

"You have that in mind? It is no wonder that many important ministers in the court opposed it. Li Ke sighed lightly and said, "They say that dividing the king of Tibet is the way for the country to take chaos. In fact, I myself don't approve of my father's sequestration of hereditary assassinations, but I'm the first person to benefit from this, so it's hard to be embarrassed to jump out and express my opposition, isn't that a clear show of tearing down my father's platform and slapping him in the face? So, I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now. ”

Qin Mubai thought for a while and said, "According to what you say, there is now a majority of opposition voices in the court?" ”

"Of course." Li Ke said, "This system has not been clearly promulgated, and my father just discussed it with a few important ministers, and they all opposed it without exception. Especially the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng, all three of them all oppose their father's move, so the father is also in a difficult situation now. ”

Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows: "Strange, why does the emperor suddenly want to do this?" There are many lessons from the past dynasties, and the division of the king has always done more harm than good. He is a wise man, why would he make such an obvious mistake? ”

"I can't think about it for a while......" Li Ke also shook his head in confusion, "I just vaguely feel it...... I may not be able to do this newly sealed history of Xiangzhou Thorn. ”

"Oh? In that case, wouldn't I be able to leave? Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"It's hard to say right now." Li Ke pursed his lips and shook his head, "My father's attitude is quite resolute this time, maybe he thinks that the Tang Dynasty's imperial court still has insufficient control over the place, so he sent his closest prince and the most powerful minister to serve as the local hereditary assassin." But in this way, it won't take a few decades, and a few of these hereditary assassins will respond to the call of the imperial court, and there will be a few big ones who will not be able to cut off and become kings. Ay...... To be honest, I also want to speak out against my father's move, but I really can't come forward. ”

Qin Mubai pondered for a moment, realized a little in his heart, and said: "Your Highness, in my opinion, it is impossible for such a wise person as the emperor not to think of these truths that even we can easily figure out. He's ...... It should just be a stopgap measure, right? ”

"Expediency?" Li Ke's eyes lit up and asked, "How do you explain?" ”

"Think about it, what is the biggest focus of dispute in the court today?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Of course, it's a battle for the heir! The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, as a result, were divided into several major factions, and they gradually became inseparable from each other, and they were becoming more and more intense. Almost everyone knows this! Li Ke said.

"That's right." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "The most important generals and courtiers in the Tang Dynasty are almost all concentrated in the Chang'an court. If this continues to evolve according to the current situation, all the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty will be attacked, and even the emperor will lose control. In this situation, what the emperor wanted to do most was to divide and weaken the forces of the crown prince and the Wei king's camp. But if any of the people in these camps are not the founding heroes or important ministers of the court, they must not be exempted from their posts, so they have to find a way to transfer them away! This transfer also needs a clear excuse, right? If you don't say that you will drive away, it will definitely be difficult to convince the public. As a result, the emperor had no choice but to make this decision, using a seemingly very mediocre trick, using the hereditary seal of assassination history, so that some of them temporarily stayed away from the center of the whirlpool of the court. If there are fewer people in these two camps and the strength is weakened, His Majesty the Emperor will have more control and be able to play with ease! ”

"Wonderful!" Li Ke high-fived and laughed, "Father's chess move, it's really wonderful!" It seems that I don't have to hesitate for anything, Xiangzhou Thorn History, I'm done. No matter how many important ministers oppose it, my father will definitely implement this 'hereditary assassination history' system this time. His old man's heart is like a mirror, and he just wants to determine the heir of the prince for himself and fight for a period of maneuver. But now the battle for the prince is becoming more and more fierce, and almost some of the most important courtiers in the Tang Dynasty are involved. The more people involved in this, the less likely it is for my father to make a bold move. Because no matter who he chooses in the end, the other side will surely bleed. This is a great loss for Datang! ”

"Your Highness is very right." Qin Mubai furrowed his brows and said seriously, "In this way, His Majesty the Emperor is already thinking about the affairs of the East Palace...... It's time for the final deployment! ”

"Yes!" Li Ke also raised his eyebrows, and said with a solemn expression, "This time is quite dangerous, it's better for us to stay away from this vortex core early!" No wonder, when I asked my father to let him give you to me, he agreed without thinking about it...... It seems that it also means to protect you! ”

"Maybe......" Qin Mubai thought for a while, nodded slowly, and thought: The emperor's intentions can be described as profound, one is that he does not want me to stay in the harem to serve as a post, and second, I am very likely to be Princess Gaoyang's man in the future, in case I am involved in the battle for the heir and die, wouldn't Gao Yang have to be widowed? …… It seems that he still feels sorry for Gao Yang!

"Mu Bai, you are really getting smarter and more mature." Li Ke looked at Qin Mubai and smiled, "No wonder King Jiangxia also calls you, you have a bright future!" ”

"It's just a joke, Your Highness doesn't have to take it seriously!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Does Your Highness ever know who has been sealed as a hereditary assassin?" ”

"That's a lot." Li Ke said, "Most of the kings, princes, and founding heroes have been sealed. By the way, your father Qin Shubao is also an example! ”

"Really?" Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Which side of the assassination history is sealed?" ”

"It seems to be...... Lanzhou Thorn History, yes, it's Lanzhou! Li Ke said.

"Lanzhou? The area around Guanlong is located at the border! Qin Mubai said.

"Yes." Li Ke said, "In recent years, there have been frequent wars in the area west of the Guanlong River, and my father intended to change the seal of several founding generals in that area to make a history of assassination. For example, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Li Daliang and so on. ”

"It seems that the frontier of the Western Front is not as calm as it seems. Sooner or later, there will be war! Qin Mubai said.

"Possibly! After all, Tuyuhun is newly settled, the Tubo people have not yet given up, and many barbarian states in the Western Regions are also ready to move under the instigation and coercion of the Western Turks and Tubo. Li Ke said, "However, we can't control these things for the time being." The top priority is just to get out of Chang'an, the land of right and wrong, as soon as possible, and stay away from the whirlpool. ”

"Well, Your Highness is very right." Qin Mubai nodded in approval and said, "That little thing at the border pass is just a disease of scabies for the current Datang. The biggest crisis and contradiction today is in our Tang Dynasty's own court. How to deal with this matter is not good, it will inevitably affect the overall peace and tranquility of the whole world and the century-old plan, and it is no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor wants to use the hereditary assassination system so vigorously to alleviate the stubborn disease of the dispute between the princes. ”

"Look, you and I can just wait and see......" Li Ke nodded slightly, and said meaningfully, "The king of Jiangxia has resigned and gone into hiding, and many important ministers and elders are also facing leaving the court. As long as the two camps of the crown prince and the king of Wei are weakened, the father and the emperor have absolute control, and it is time for the situation to be decided......"

"Hmm......" Qin Mubai nodded, didn't say anything more, and said secretly in his heart: Listening to Li Ke's words, it is a bit of a snipe and a clam competing for fishermen. His mind and city government are finally higher than the crown prince and the king of Wei. Right now, the King of Wei is marching into the East Palace, with a posture full of ambition and ambition; As for the prince, he is honestly afraid of walking on thin ice, but he is still unashamed...... Both of these will hardly have a good ending in the future. According to the historical trend, in the end, it was Li Zhi who, with the strong support of the eldest grandson Wuji, picked up a big bargain and sat on the dragon chair. But now...... History has quietly changed, will it still be the same?

Qin Mubai thought of Li Zhi, who was shouting all day long in Penglai Hall to play the game of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and couldn't help but smile in his heart: If such a talented and ambitious kid becomes the emperor, it is no wonder that he is swayed by the dictatorship of the eldest grandson Wuji. Historically, Li Zhi also had a Wu Meiniang to help, and the two joined forces and obtained Li Tao's strong support, and finally eliminated the eldest grandson Wuji group who controlled the power of the court and regained his authority. But now? Wu Meiniang is only busy doing business and making a lot of money!

The wheel of history has already deflected a bit of a trajectory, and the future ...... What will happen?

……

While the two were chatting, a maid walked in, saluted in a panic, and said, "General Qin, Her Royal Highness the princess invites you over." ”

"Didn't you see that I was busy?" Qin Mubai said.

"But, but......" begged the maidservant, "Her Royal Highness said that if the general does not go, she will not come out of the room today, and she will starve to death......

"This guy ......" Li Ke and Qin Mubai shook their heads with a wry smile, Li Ke said: "Okay, you go quickly!" Catch that girl out, clean up, we have to go to Jiangxia Palace." ”

"Okay!" Qin Mubai had no choice but to get up and come to Princess Gaoyang's room.

The room was filled with the fragrance of hot steam and flowers, and Princess Gaoyang, who had just finished bathing, was wearing a snow-white robe, sitting in front of the bronze mirror with a red face, giggling and beckoning to Qin Mubai in the mirror: "Come on, give me a thrush!" ”

"You're going to be spoiled." Qin Mubai smiled helplessly and walked to the bronze mirror. Princess Gaoyang giggled, her delicate body softened and hid in Qin Mubai's arms, shaking her little hand and waving her eyebrows, and said, "Hurry up!" ”

With that, she closed her eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

Qin Mubai's nose was filled with the seductive fragrance of the girl's body, and her arms were also full of warm fragrance and jade, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. took the pen, but took her soft little hand, bent down, and kissed Princess Gaoyang's lips.

Princess Gaoyang's body tightened slightly, and she immediately stretched out her arms to wrap around Qin Mubai's neck, and kissed her back unwillingly. The little fragrant tongue also got into Qin Mubai's teeth immaturely, and searched back and forth a little awkwardly.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but want to laugh, this little girl who had just fallen in love definitely hadn't kissed before. I don't know who said that a kiss is going to give out the tongue, so I'm imitating it in a daze.

"Okay, the door isn't closed, hurry up and get dressed, don't freeze." Qin Mubai let go and was ready to give her a thrush seriously. But when she saw Princess Gaoyang in her arms, her face was about to turn red, with a pair of big watery eyes, and she looked up at Qin Mubai stupidly.

"What a nymphomaniac......" Qin Mubai couldn't help but laugh.

"Mu Bai...... I really want to be your woman, right now. Princess Gao Yang bit her lip and said quite shyly but very firmly.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "After painting the eyebrows first, and then study it slowly, okay?" ”

Princess Gaoyang suddenly turned over and hugged Qin Mubai tightly, put her face on his chest, and muttered, "Don't leave me behind, otherwise, I will really die to show you!" ”

"Fools, all the stupid things!"

……

After a long time, the three of them finally packed up and ate some snacks briefly, and then prepared the carriage and horses to go to the palace of King Jiangxia.

Princess Gaoyang doesn't care about the difference between the dignity and inferiority of the princess and her subordinates, she wants to ride in the same car with Qin Mubai in life or death. Qin Mubai and Li Ke had no choice but to rely on her. So I changed to an ordinary standard car, and finally went out after tossing for a long time.
