"Huh! You're right, but every time you make the first move, I'm forced to deal with it! Can you make this prank a little less tidy? Qin Mubai smiled, walked behind Wu Meiniang and gently put her pink and soft shoulders, and whispered in her ear, "Be patient." Didn't you say that you would not marry me until I became a third-grade member and the prime minister of the court? It's almost there. In addition, run your restaurant well, do a good job and grow bigger, if you need my help, just ask. In addition, if anyone dares to come to you to smash the field and make trouble, the small role will find Yuwen Hongtai Yin Yang and others to settle down; They can't, tell me. ”

"After talking for a long time, I finally heard a human word......" Wu Meiniang finally smiled lightly, but her shoulders sank slightly and escaped from Qin Mubai's arms, and hummed, "Dengzi, we haven't married yet, don't you want to touch me!" ”

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "I wish you a prosperous business, Boss Wu - I have to go home when time is pressing." Let's account for today's expenses, I don't have much money on me. "Say goodbye and leave.

"One hundred! I've got you covered! Wu Meiniang looked at Qin Mubai's back and shouted, "When the time comes, I will return the money to this girl, otherwise I will go to your house to ask your father for it!" ”

Qin Mubai's figure quickly disappeared. Wu Meiniang hummed in a low voice with hatred: "Thief boy, big villain, disciple!" …… Others only need ten times, but they want to charge you a hundred, hum! ”

Qin Mubai walked out of Wu Meiniang's boudoir, first said goodbye to Yuwen Hongtai and the others in the Accord, and then prepared to leave the restaurant and go home. When I went down the stairs, I was confronted by the demon and the other four women who appeared in the room together.

The demon heard the woman next to her say that Qin Mubai had come down, and she knelt down in the direction of the stairs, and kowtowed silently.

"Get up." Qin Mubai stepped forward to help her up, and at the same time said to the two pipa girls next to her, "Although I agreed to accept the demon as an apprentice, I am on an errand in the palace, and I rarely have time to teach her personally. In this way, the three of you will study the skills together, and if you don't understand, you can ask for advice from the Tale Department, and you will say that I asked you to go. If I have time, I will come here to guide you personally. ”

"Thank you Gongzi Qin!" The three daughters were overjoyed and thanked them together.

"You'er, although your eyes are not as good as others, you really play the pipa with heart and emotion. Come on, don't let me down. Qin Mubai patted the demon on the shoulder, smiled at the women, and strode away.

The four girls stared at the direction of Qin Mubai's departure with wide eyes, and didn't come back to their senses for a long time. The demon said in a low voice: "Sisters, Qin Mubai Gongzi...... Isn't it handsome? ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Isn't it a dashing talent?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Kind-hearted, amiable, handsome, and dashing talent, isn't that the wishful husband in the hearts of all girls? It's a pity that I'm blind and can't see Oh......"

"Yes, yes!"

……

When Qin Mubai returned home, the first person to receive him was his mother Liu.

"Oh, my son is back! Oh my God, how did you become black and thin after only seven days of going out, and was life in the palace hard? No, that's the most glorious and wealthy place in the world! Liu grabbed Qin Mubai's arm and chattered endlessly, as if he hadn't seen him for a few years.

The little sister Shuang'er also came out, and when she saw this scene, she smiled and said: "Mother, you see that you are holding the third brother's hand and not letting go, as if you are afraid that he will be lost." The third brother is already a man who stands up to the sky, a general, and an adult! ”

"Nonsense!" Liu Shi turned his face blank, "In my mother's eyes, you will always be children!" Even if you are seventy or eighty, it is still a child! ”

The girls laughed together. At this moment, a figure appeared by the front hall. Standing upright like a spear, who is not Qin Shubao?

When Qin Mubai saw his father, he felt that his eyes lit up: what a look! Daddy's body is getting better and better, his face is flushed, he is full of energy, and his body is straight, as if he is still fatter.

"Daddy!" Qin Mubai stepped forward and saluted.

"I'm back." Qin Shubao nodded indifferently, "Come with me." ”

With that, he turned and left.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and Shuang'er muttered in a low voice, "Dad seems to be a little unhappy?" What's going on? ”

Qin Mubai didn't have time to think about it, followed his father into the study, and closed the door.

"Come and sit." Qin Shubao sat down by himself and pointed to the sitting pu opposite him.

Seeing his father's solemn look, this is a clear indication that there is something in his heart. So Qin Mubai sat down and asked, "Dad, what's the matter?" ”

"You've only been in office for seven days, and you've done great things, which is amazing." Qin Shubao's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes were as sharp as a knife blade on Qin Mubai's face, but his voice said indifferently, "How can you be so open-minded?" ”

Qin Mubai had already expected that his father would talk about the punishment of Wei Chi Baoyun, and he also had a draft in his heart, so he said: "Dad, the twists and turns of the matter are complicated, can I let the child tell you one by one?" ”

"I don't listen." Qin Shubao said very decisively, "Not everyone is interested in studying the process of things. They only saw one result - that is, Qin Qiong's son beat Wei Chigong's son. As for why, others don't understand and don't want to understand. ”

"I understand what my father meant......" Qin Mubai sighed and nodded, "Although I haven't done too much in this matter, and it is reasonable to reason and law, the result of the matter is that it has caused a bad impact." This is reminiscent of my father instigating me to declare a personal vendetta. ”

"If you can think of it now, why didn't you understand it then?" Qin Shubao wrinkled his brows and said, "In everything, don't try to be quick for a while. Everything in the world cannot be measured clearly by reason and usage, otherwise it would be too simple. The laws and regulations are dead, but man is alive. You are right, Wei Chi Baoyun violated military law and should be punished. But how to punish and when to punish should also be skillful. You, on the other hand, have used the simplest, crudest, and stupidest way to deal with it. At that time, it was very enjoyable and beautiful, but the consequence of this was to bury hidden dangers for you and a strong enemy under the tree. Haven't you always prided yourself on being smart, how could you do such a stupid thing? ”

Qin Mubai's heart was like a sharp dagger, and a golden light was put in, and his heart suddenly lit up as if he had been enlightened, and he also knew that this time he was a little reckless and hasty. So he bowed down and said, "The father taught me very well, and the child was indeed a little conceited and mistaken at that time. Yu Chi Baoyun is rude and arrogant, and the child is generally seen to confront him in a rude and arrogant way, which is really not clever enough. Hey, the officialdom is dangerous, the child is indeed too tender, and he has to study hard and practice hard. Just this morning, the emperor announced me and said many things to me, which was also intended to guide me. ”

"What did he say?"

Qin Mubai told Qin Shubao what the emperor said to him one by one.

After listening to this, Qin Shubao was silent for a long time, stroked his long gray beard and nodded: "Fortunately, the emperor is a holy monarch Mingjun with a heart like a mirror, and he still supports you." Obviously, though, he doesn't approve of you approaching things in this way. Also, the reason why he made a clear stance to support you and suppressed Changsun Jian and Wei Chi Baoyun was not because you were my Qin Qiong's son, or because he was really emotionally biased towards you, but because - you are a hundred horsemen! You have to understand this. He was upholding the authority of the Hundred Horsemen and establishing the prestige of this commander. Instead of really sheltering and favoring you as a person. ”

"The child knows." Qin Mubai nodded and said, "Your Majesty is a successful and shrewd superior, of course he knows the importance of a commander's prestige to the army. Therefore, even if the child is wrong, he may still support me. ”

"That's a good point. This was the emperor's usual practice. Qin Shubao said, "The emperor is in charge of a country, and he can see far from a high position. He can't do everything, he can only manage some of the people around him. Through these people, we can manage more other people, and finally achieve the goal of managing the country. You are the supreme commander of the hundred cavalry, and it is far easier for him to manage you well, control you well, and train you well than to manage other deputy envoys and officers at all levels. That's why he leans toward you in his judgment. In addition, the father of the eldest grandson and Yu Chi Baoyun has always been the emperor's most trusted and closest people, so that their son will suffer a little loss, and the emperor will be able to round in front of them. In contrast, the relationship between the father and the emperor is a little rusty, so the emperor does not reproach you for a while. ”

Qin Mubai's heart froze slightly: I forgot that there is this layer! Father was right. It's like a fight between one's own son and a neighbor's son, and parents generally have to teach their son a lesson...... It turns out that in the emperor's heart, the eldest grandson and Yu Chi Baoyun are far closer than me!

"Therefore, this incident, on the surface, you are in the limelight and have established your authority in the army, but you have not gained any actual big benefits." Qin Shubao said, "First of all, it is certain that you will have a grudge against Changsun Jian and others from now on, and there are more people like Changsun Wuji, Wei Chigong and others behind you who have a grudge against you. And this time, you also challenged the Emperor's patience. Once or twice, the emperor may tolerate you, or even take a stand in favor of you. But once the emperor loses patience in the end, your consequences will be far worse than those of Changsun Jian and others. He won't hesitate to kick you off, or even worse. ”

The boy wrote it down. This time it was indeed the child's recklessness...... In the future, I will be more cautious and will not give authority to others. Qin Mubai bowed his hand and said. This time, he was convinced. Compared with the old revolutionaries such as Li Shimin and Qin Shubao, he has always thought that he is smart, but he is really too tender. "Experience" is really not something that can be innate.

Who said that the ancients were not the present? Political wisdom, the ancestors of the ancients have interpreted it to the extreme, and they do not lose at all!

"So, you are just a superficial scenery now, as if you have won the emperor's favor, and you have a bright future and unlimited prospects." Qin Shubao said, "But in fact, you are walking on thin ice, and you can't afford to make mistakes again." Changsun Jian and others can make small mistakes and keep making big mistakes, even if they make big mistakes, they can't go wrong, and they can afford to lose no matter how much they lose. You, my San Lang, you can't afford to lose! Because he has already lost once as a father, he has almost fallen to the bottom line. If you make another mistake and lose again, you will never turn over! ”

"Children remember the teachings."

"Fortunately, the disturbance this time was not particularly big, and in the end, you still showed mercy to your subordinates and sold a face to the eldest grandson, and did not seriously beat the fifty military sticks. If you cripple and kill Yu Chi Baoyun, then you will really be finished. Qin Shubao said, "I have never known what it is to be obscure for my father's life, and now I don't want you to show weakness and submit to softness." But as a commander-in-chief, a person with wisdom and brains should not handle the relationship with his subordinates in a rough way. Strategy, technique, and even the art of conspiracy, you have to learn slowly. You have the best teacher by your side, and you don't have to ask, and you can naturally learn countless skills from him. ”

"Father means the emperor?"

"Of course." Qin Shubao said, "The emperor joined the army at the age of sixteen, immediately governed the army, and ruled the people under the horse, all of which were successful. His intellect, wisdom and virtue are worthy of learning from everyone. The kung fu of knowing people, the skills of getting along with people, and the ability to deal with political affairs are even more perfect. As his imperial general, how can you give up such a good teacher and not learn from him? ”

"Yes. The father didn't say it, but the child also planned to learn from the emperor. This morning's words really made the child feel a huge gap with him. In the child's heart, he also admired and believed in His Majesty. Qin Mubai said, "Actually, the child has been seeking to find a teacher to study. Now it is good that with the best teacher in the world, the child must religiously ask him for advice. ”

"Good. My son is humble and motivated, which is a good sign. Qin Shubao's face finally soothed a little, nodded and smiled, "You are right. The emperor is the best teacher in the world. In addition to what I just mentioned, his talents in martial arts, calligraphy and music, poetry and songs, etc., are also very within the reach of others. Aside from the fact that he is the first emperor of the ages, as a man, he is also extremely good. Even if he is not an emperor, he must be an excellent military commander, or a talented poet, or even a famous person, a generation of grandmasters. Such a person deserves to be learned from by all. Now you understand, why do I say that your winemaking and pipa are just small carving skills that are not enough to enter the house? You are compared to the emperor like a jackdaw is a phoenix, and a rare star is more than a bright moon. The gap is big! ”

"Huh......" Qin Mubai slightly twisted his brows, took a light breath, and shook his head, "If you're not convinced, you can't do it." If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. There are really many things that children need to improve and improve. ”

"Hehe, don't be presumptuous." Qin Shubao said with a smile, "You have excellent qualifications and outstanding talents, all you lack is training." It's like a piece of jade, which still needs to be carved. Study with an open mind and work hard, Father, and have faith in you! ”

"Thank you, Dad......" Qin Mubai stared at Qin Shubao, nodded gratefully, and said in his heart: It is really my luck to have such a father!
