Chapter 51: Strong
[Add more, ask for a red ticket to rush the ticket, thank you!! ]
Qin Bin smiled and introduced Qin Mubai to the middle-aged man: "Second brother, this is the Tu signing order that will be used as the superintendent of the left school, and he is an old friend of his father. β
"I've seen the Tu Order." Qin Mubai smiled and bowed.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Tu Zhiling hurriedly got up and bent down to bow and salute back, "General Qin is a Shangguan, how dare he accept the general's gift if he can't give a mere seven-grade order?" β
"Since it is an old friend of my father, it is an elder, and it should be so." Qin Mubai took a seat and asked the second brother, "Why are the two brothers free today and come here to relax?" β
Qin Tongxin said bluntly: "Don't hide it from the third brother, the two of us were assigned by my father, and I made a special trip to invite Tu to sign the order, and I asked for something." β
"What?"
"That's right." Qin Tong said, "My father's health is getting better day by day, and there is a great tendency to recover. Now he is an old man who practices martial arts at home all day long, and has studied a set of 'Tai Chi Qin Gun', which is really exquisite. After his strength gradually recovered, his old man missed the eighty-pound iron spear he was used to at the beginning, so he asked us to ask for an order to recast the iron spear he had used to do so. β
Qin Bin smiled and added, "Third brother, you should have heard of it. The iron spear used by my father when he conquered the world, known as the 'Tiger Head Chisel Golden Gun', was not only heavy and domineering, but also quite exquisitely made, which was not something that ordinary craftsmen could make. Nowadays, my father's gold stove gun is stored in the palace, and every time there is a major court meeting, it is taken out for exhibition and viewing, and it is naturally difficult for my father to take it back from the emperor. Therefore, I specially asked for a painting order from the left school office of the superintendent to recast it. β
Will be the supervisor, is the Tang Dynasty court is responsible for the construction of civil palaces, forest garden water conservancy important yamen. The subordinate Zuo School Office is responsible for creating special "limited edition" gold and silver jewelry, treasured utensils, weapons and armor.
Qin Mubai nodded, and said to Tu Zhizhi: "In this way, there is really a labor Tu order." β
Tu Lingda was a little flattered: "Some trivial things, the two eldest sons come to invite them in person, and they can send a letter to someone, but the two sons are really polite." Now that the third prince has come forward, do you dare to do your best? β
Qin Tong and Qin Bin glanced at each other and smiled. It can be seen from the performance of this Zeng order that Qin Mubai's name and face are now bigger than the two of them. It is not surprising that although Qin Tong has been in the army for many years, he is now a five-rank general, but he is a city gate man who guards the city gate of the palace. Although this position is important, after all, he is a small monk in a big temple, and he has face but is not capable. As for Qin Bin, he is now just a school scholar in the Hongwen Pavilion, although he is a member of the emperor's think tank, he is still just an insignificant nobody.
In contrast, Qin Mubai, the emperor's confidant, the commander of the guards, and the current celebrity, has a lot to do!
Qin Tong said: "Third brother, you haven't been home for many days, and today we met by chance, why don't we three brothers go home together to visit our father?" β
"That's what the little brother means."
Qin Tong said with a smile: "Third brother, don't be surprised if you see your father again. In the past six months or so, my father has been reborn, and the invincible father seems to be back. The new set of marksmanship he created is also several times more powerful and domineering than before-by the way, the three of us learned the hammer, fist, and gun respectively, this marksmanship should be passed on to you, right? β
Qin Mubai nodded and smiled: "Don't hide it from Big Brother, it's indeed passed on." Otherwise, how could the younger brother's martial arts advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time and win the position of a hundred horsemen in one fell swoop? β
"Oh, envy me!" Qin Tong clapped his big fist and shouted, "I knew that I also learned guns back then, but I don't learn to do it anymore!" Having said that, if it weren't for the fact that I was already an officer of the Imperial Forest Army, I would have wanted to run for the Hundred Cavalry Envoys! β
"Haha, what did the eldest brother say!" Qin Bin said with a smile, "The Qin family's method is a unique secret technique, and it is only passed on to the elders. This method is my father's life's work, and it can be called a unique in the world. People who practice martial arts in the world don't know how many people are greedy for this set of techniques you have learned, why are you still blushing at the beginning of the third brother's marksmanship? β
"Hey, the more the merrier!" Qin Tong laughed heartily, suddenly thought about it, and said, "By the way, third brother, since you have inherited your father's marksmanship, why don't you ask Tu to order you to make a golden gun too?" Father said that you are infinitely powerful, and you will not lose, and when he was young and strong, you must have made it easy. β
"Oh, this ......" Qin Mubai pondered for a while and was still thinking, and the Tu Signing Order hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If the third prince needs to speak, the lower officials will definitely do their best!" β
The three brothers laughed together. This smearing order is really self-conscious.
"Okay, then there's a labor order."
The three brothers and Tu Zhiling had a drink for a while, negotiated the matter, and then left the wine shop to return home. When leaving the table, Wu Meiniang also came to greet the two brothers once, exempted them from the wine money, and said that as long as they came here in the future, they would not receive a penny. The famous female owner of the world's No. 1 wine suddenly appeared in the hall, causing a lot of surprise and onlookers.
Qin Tong and Qin Bin were shocked by the amazement of this brother and daughter-in-law, and they praised it endlessly. One is naturally admiring her beauty and intelligence, and the other is quite satisfied with this brother and daughter-in-law who knows how to be polite and generous.
Qin Mubai smiled in his heart, this Mei Niang usually only knows how to carry tricks with me in private, but in fact, she is also a person who knows the general situation. The depressing thing is that the two eldest brothers will be free in the future, but I, who is a husband, will have to charge several times or dozens of times the fee to consume...... This little girl, you have to not let me save a penny of private money!
After leaving the wine shop, the three brothers walked together and went home. Along the way, they discussed martial arts and the art of war and some insignificant court affairs, and they had a good conversation. Qin Mubai and the two elder brothers have always gotten along well, and they can't learn much from them. Especially the second brother Qin Bin, he served in the Hongwen Pavilion, and he was in contact with the central ministers of the imperial court every day, and discussed various national affairs with the emperor together. Under the influence of his ears and eyes for many years, his insight is already extraordinary, and he knows many secrets that are not known. For example, which prime minister has which protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and which courtier's political views have been opposed or approved by the emperor.
This circle of the core courtiers and members of the Tang Dynasty is something that Qin Mubai has not yet come into contact with. From Qin Bin's mouth, Qin Mubai knew that the emperor's most trusted minister was the eldest grandson Wuji, and the most important and trusted minister was Fang Xuanling, but he was respectful, afraid, hateful and loving to Wei Zheng. There are also rising rookies such as Chu Suiliang and Ma Zhou, who are increasingly loved and valued by the emperor, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future.
Listening to Qin Bin's words, Qin Mubai felt that it was better than reading for ten years, and he silently kept all this in his heart. This will be of great benefit to him in the future.
The three brothers went home together, and the coke spoiled the people of the Qin family. Even Qin Shubao, who usually doesn't smile, laughed. At the family banquet, the three brothers brought wine for Qin Shubao and congratulated him on his recovery, and the Qin family had great hope of recovery.
Seeing his father again after more than three months, Qin Mubai found that he was indeed very different from the past. The current Qin Shubao has a ruddy complexion and full muscles, a tall body and walks like the wind, exuding a majestic and domineering spirit of a peak martial artist from time to time!
"In the past six months, my father's health has improved greatly, and his symptoms have almost improved, and it is time to return to the army." Qin Shubao stroked his long beard and said leisurely.
"Huh? Father is coming back? The three brothers were pleasantly surprised at the same time.
"What, what's wrong?" Qin Shubao stroked his hair and smiled, "The old man is only fifty years old, he is in the prime of life, if it weren't for the perennial illness, how would he be willing to retreat into the background?" After the Tang Dynasty pacified the northern Turks, his father never experienced military affairs again. Over the years, Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Wei Chigong have won great feats in the southern and northern wars, and have created an immortal reputation, but they do not have the name of my Qin Qiong. is not as good as Li Jing as a father, but it will not be worse than Hou Junji and Wei Chigong! After a while, my father will go to meet the emperor and ask him to return to the army and return to the army! β
"Good, great!" Qin Tong and Qin Bin applauded excitedly, "If my father makes a comeback, and the Tang Dynasty adds another good minister and a fierce general, my Qin family is bound to recover!" β
Qin Mubai was not in a hurry to applaud, he frowned slightly, and was silent.
Qin Shubao had already noticed Qin Mubai's expression and asked, "San Lang, what do you think?" β
Qin Mubai arched his hand and said: "It's a great thing that my father has recovered from his illness, and the child who is anxious to make a comeback also understands it very well." It's just that my father went to His Majesty in such a hurry to 'ask for an important position', but it was not very appropriate. β
"What are you talking about, third brother?" Qin Tong retorted, "My father is in the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the position of General Zuolong Wuwei has always been held by my father, so why talk about 'asking for an important position'?" β
Qin Shubao twisted his brows lightly and waved his hand: "Don't worry, Dalang, listen to San Lang in detail." He certainly has his reasons and opinions. β
"Yes, father." Qin Mubai said, "Father is still the general of the Sanpin Left Dragon Wuwei, that's right. can be asked - today's Zuolong Wuwei, where is the army, and where is the camp? β
"Uh, this ......" Qin Tong was stunned for a moment, and said with a long sigh, "The third brother is right. Two years ago, His Majesty the Emperor reorganized the Imperial Forest Army, and reorganized the left and right dragon guards who used to guard the imperial city into the left and right Yulin guards and the left and right Qianniu guards, and they were respectively commanded by generals. In addition, the original left and right Jin Wuwei and left and right prison guards, all the sergeants and generals of the Imperial City Imperial Forest Army have been replaced, and the military power is directly in the hands of the emperor. The former Left Dragon Guards Imperial Forest Army no longer exists. My father's position as a general is just a fictitious position. β
"Not bad." Qin Mubai said, "My father used to be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, if I went to ask the emperor for instructions to come back at this time, it would be tantamount to asking the emperor for military power." This inevitably put the emperor in a dilemma. Even if you want to transfer your father to serve in the field army of the left and right guards and the left and right guards, it is not so easy. Over the years, Li Jing, Li Tao, Wei Chigong and others have been in charge of the military, how did the emperor put his father in it for a while? Moreover, even if it is inserted, wouldn't it take away part of the military power of Li Tao and others, offend others and cause other contradictions? β
