The reception is over. The scholars left one after another, and many people took the initiative to greet Qin Mubai, or give gifts or greetings.

Qin Bin said with a smile: "Third brother, after this scene of meandering, you will definitely be famous in Chang'an." ”

"As for it?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Of course." Qin Bin said, "Chang'an was originally a place of poetry and essays, and the best literati and writers in the world gathered here. On the Wei Palace, it is the essence of a large number of literati and artists. Getting their recognition and approval is equivalent to getting the approval of the literati and scholars in the entire Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty. Presumably, your song "Will Enter the Wine" will be widely circulated. From this day forward, you are considered a talent. ”

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed. He really wanted to tell his second brother that his poem was plagiarized. On second thought, forget it. If someone breaks the casserole and asks the end, how can they justify themselves? There is only one character like Li Bai in the ages. A wonderful poem like "Will Enter the Wine" is not something that any cat or dog can make up.

The brothers chatted and left, and they had already left the Wei Palace. Just as he was about to board the car, a man who looked like an official hurriedly came over to stop the car, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Dare to ask which one is Qin Mubai and Qin Gongzi?" ”

"It's down there. What do you call you? Qin Mubai got out of the car and returned the salute.

The man bowed his hand and said, "Gongzi Qin forgives his sins." In the next is Jiang Yaqing, who joined the army in the Wei Wangfu Record Office, and the poems recorded when the water flowed down, it was below. ”

"Oh, what do you think about joining the army?"

"Don't dare." Jiang Yaqing said, "I admire the poems of Qin Gongzi in every way. On the order of the King of Wei, he wanted to engrave the poem "Will Enter the Wine" into a tablet. Therefore, there are still some trivial things to ask for, and the tired son will take a break for a while. ”

"Oh...... All right. Qin Mubai agreed, let Qin Bin take the car back to the house first, and followed Jiang Yaqing into the palace.

The two returned to the Wei Palace, and the scholars in the mansion had all left, and they seemed relatively quiet. Qin Mubai thought to himself, why did you leave me to discuss matters with a small secretary in the army, it is estimated that it is most likely that Li Tai, the king of Wei, wants to invite me back to talk. There are a lot of people out there, so you have an excuse.

Walking to a quiet attic in the backyard, Jiang Yaqing stopped and bowed his hand and said, "Please ask Gongzi Qin to go upstairs." ”

"Okay." Qin Mubai smiled slightly in understanding: That's right. It must have been Li Tai looking for me.

As soon as he walked up to this exquisite small building, the upstairs door was pushed open, and Li Tai's trademark smile came out: "Brother Mu Bai is here, it's rude and rude, Xiao Wang is afraid that Brother Mu Bai will be embarrassed by many people's eyes, so he made this decision and asked Jiang Yaqing to invite you to come." ”

"Your Highness has a point." Qin Mubai smiled and returned the salute and walked into the room. Heart: This Li Tai thinks about all kinds of thoughts, thinks carefully after thinking, thinks about everything thoroughly, and treats people and things with a smile. But why does it make me feel that he is a person...... A bit of a gloomy? In contrast, I think Li Ke is more straightforward and more similar to my temperament.

"Brother Mu Bai, please take a seat." After Li Tai invited him to sit down, he personally held a pot to pour tea for him, and said with a smile, "Brother Mu Bai's song "Will Enter the Wine" will definitely be popular in the Tang Dynasty. Xiao Wang admires your talent so much. ”

"Dare, dare." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "It's just a momentary nonsense, Your Highness don't make fun of it." ”

"Haha, you can have such a realm with nonsense, presumably Mu Bai's talent is very comparable." Li Tai seems to be well versed in the truth of "thousands of wears, only sycophants do not wear", and he praised Qin Mubai like a river.

Qin Mubai was rarely happy. First, this poem was originally plagiarized, and the more people praised it, the more he was a little weak-hearted; Second, if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, and your friendship with Li Tai is very ordinary. The reason why people take the initiative to be close is not because they are a "hundred horsemen"?

"Brother Mu Bai has such talent, if he doesn't write more poems, it's really a big pity in the world! My generation and others boast that their articles are talented all over the world, and they are not as talented as Brother Mu Bai's momentary talent. Li Tai said, "Therefore, Xiao Wang has a reluctant request, I don't know what Brother Mu Bai wants?" ”

"Your Highness, tell me about it?" Qin Mubai said.

"Xiao Wang wants to ...... How about Brother Mu Bai please give in and enter Xiao Wang's 'Literature Museum' to worship? After Li Tai finished speaking, he looked at Qin Mubai with a smile on his face and expectation.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? Qin Mubai said, "Your Highness also knows, and now you are a hundred horsemen...... How can it be so good to suddenly change the court, His Majesty the Emperor must be displeased. ”

"No, no, no, Brother Mu Bai is wrong." Li Tai hurriedly said, "Xiao Wang's Literature Museum is not a yamen institution, and it has no official position and no money. It's just a spontaneous gathering of a group of scholars and literati, and the purpose is also to compile books and revise biographies, and compose poems and lyrics. On weekdays, everyone has their own duties; As long as I have free time, I will gather like today to discuss poetry and articles. ”

Qin Mubai was embarrassed: It's easy to say! Those scholars and literati gathered in your literature hall have no legal salaries and official positions, but in fact they are all your customers, and most of them have no formal occupations and are supported by you. If I promise you, won't I be a member of your King Wei in the future? What a Li Tai, you want to make a 'set fact' and drag me into the water!

"Your Highness, please forgive your sins, I have a very unavoidable hardship, I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to Your Highness for a while." Qin Mubai apologized.

"Actually, Brother Mu Bai doesn't have to worry too much. There are many courtiers and dignitaries, all gathered in Xiao Wang's literature museum! For example, the imperial history, the right of the Shangshu Liu Xun, the imperial history of the doctor Wei Ting, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Du Chuke, and so on. Li Tai didn't give up, and said busily, "I don't know if Brother Mu Bai has any concerns, why don't you speak out and listen?" ”

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, and stopped talking: "Your Highness doesn't know anything. Father's ......"

"Oh, what is the admonition of the Zun Yi Guogong?" Li Tai asked.

Qin Mubai shook his head, looking very embarrassed, and said: "My father is from the military, and he is most unaccustomed to me dancing poems and writing, playing music and enjoying music on weekdays, doing these vassal and elegant things, saying that I am a disciple of the general but not doing my job, and I have been repeatedly scolded. In fact, I don't want to be a general, I just want three or five poets to gather in the mountain springs and forest streams to sing the wind and the moon easily. Helpless, under the pressure of his father, he had to run for the election of the Hundred Horsemen. Cough...... Now, not only do I dare not dance poems and write texts, I don't even dare to play the pipa, and I don't dare to read poetry books. I can only hold the war book and battle strategy every day, and dance with the stinky and sweaty military academy warriors. ”

"Oh? Hehe, I see. After Li Tai showed regret, he lowered his eyelids thoughtfully and nodded, "Understand, understand." It is natural for Ling Zun to be the hero of Qin Gong, and it is natural for him to hope that his son will inherit his father's business. Xiao Wang has also heard for a long time, although your second brother Qin Bin is a civil servant, he has also practiced good martial arts, and it is not difficult to become a general if he wants to go into battle. From this point of view, the Qin family is indeed a military and martial family, and the style is very strict! ”

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding." It has been many years since he was thrown into the army by his father and still left to fend for himself. The second brother is a son-in-law, and the next brother is a concubine...... There is no place in the family. My father said one, and I dare to say two? Moreover, my father was not in good health, and he really didn't dare to disobey him and make him angry. Therefore, King Wei's kindness can only be temporarily appreciated. If my father knew that I had joined His Highness's Literature Museum and had been in the company of poetry and literature all day long, I would have been so angry that I vomited blood. Therefore......"

"Well, it's hard for a gentleman not to be strong." Li Tai smiled and said, "Since Brother Mu Bai has such a hidden intention, Xiao Wang will not force it." It's just that if Brother Mu Bai has some free time, he will invite him to sit on the little king's mansion for a while, and drink happily with Xiao Wang, which is a great thing in life! ”

"His Royal Highness is gracious, but he is disrespectful." Qin Mubai arched his hand and said, "It's just that I work in the palace every day, and I have little leisure." If there is any neglect, please ask Your Highness to have a million seas. ”

"Haha, Brother Mu Bai is in charge of the palace, and Xiao Wang is also a servant in the palace every day, so it will be easy to meet and talk in the future." Li Tai said with a smile, "Besides, Brother Mu Bai is often in the palace and rarely can go out, if there is something to take care of himself outside the palace but he has no time to doppelganger, he can tell Xiao Wang." Although Xiao Wang is not talented, he has a lot of friends in Chang'an, and I believe that there is a place that can help Brother Mu Bai. ”

"Your Highness is generous, and I can only be grateful." Qin Mubai thanked him and said in his heart: Li Tai is hinting at Wu Meiniang's side of the matter, right? According to his analysis, he can take care of me "meticulously", love the house and Wu, make the world's first wine source and popularity unmatched, and can also destroy the world's first wine in an instant...... In other words, if I want to be safe and precious, I will have to listen to you obediently in the future?

This dead fat man, it can't be wooed under the excuse of the Literature Museum, and now he wants to use Wu Meiniang to blackmail and control me! - Sure enough, the yin owl!

This trick may work against other people, I'm Qin someone...... I hate this method the most!

After chatting for a while, Li Tai didn't stay long, and Qin Mubai said goodbye and went home.

When he returned to his home, he saw Qin Shubao sitting in the main hall from afar, so he stepped forward to pay respects.

"What are you doing with Li Tailiu?" Qin Shubao got straight to the point.

Qin Mubai did not hide it and told the truth about it.

"That's very good." Qin Shubao stroked the gray beard, and didn't say much, a pair of old eyes narrowed, and said, "Li Tai, it seems to be loyal, but in fact he is a yin owl." The current crown prince is above, and as the emperor's younger brother, he does not abide by the courtier's character and covets the East Palace, and he is planning everywhere, which is already known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart - if he acts like this, sooner or later there will be disaster. ”

"That's what the kid thinks, too." Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "King Wei must be the master of many things. In the future, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, it will be difficult to get out of trouble with him. It's better to keep your distance. ”

"San Lang remembers six words: don't offend, don't stammer." Qin Shubao said in a word, "That's all." ”
