It was just after noon, Qin Mubai estimated the time, according to Li Shimin's habits, at this moment, he should have finished his lunch break, went to the imperial study of the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace, and approved the time for the performance.

So he came to the Wude Palace, and the emperor was indeed here. Qin Mubai asked the hundred cavalry guards of the guard, and found out that the emperor was alone in the imperial study, and he happened to go in to hand over the order.

When he came to the imperial study to ask for a meeting, Li Shimin was approving some concerts. Hearing that Qin Mubai had come to see him, Li Shimin, who was writing the book, was slightly stunned, put down the pen and closed the chapter, and said to the eunuch who was close to him: "Let him wait for me at the dragon boat pier of the Taiye Pool of the Daming Palace." ”

The eunuch came out to pass the word, and Qin Mubai felt a block in his heart after hearing it: I have to go to such a secluded place to talk, it seems that Li Shimin really has a lot to say to me.

The imperial decree has been issued, and Qin Mubai has no choice but to go to Daming Palace. After waiting for a long time, the emperor's car came. After retiring everyone, Li Shimin stepped forward alone, smiling with his hands behind his back and looking very relaxed, and said from afar: "Mu Bai, I'm afraid it's hard for you this time." ”

"Wechen see Your Majesty! For His Majesty, I dare not speak hard. Qin Mubai bowed his hands.

"Okay." Li Shimin stepped forward and patted his sturdy shoulder with a smile, nodded and said, "Sit on the dragon boat with me." Today's weather is good, I want to relax after a day of hard work, so I will find you to accompany me. ”

"Wechen should obey orders."

Following Li Shimin, Qin Mubai got on the dragon boat. If there is a large golden dragon boat, except for a few boatmen and two young eunuchs waiting for tea, there are only two gentlemen and ministers.

On the upper floor of the dragon boat, Li Shimin sent the little eunuch to put a few tea and snacks, and even they retreated.

On a sunny day in winter, boating on the lake, looking at the lakes and mountains, it is quite magnificent and beautiful, which is a pleasant thing. But at this moment, Qin Mubai's mood was rarely relaxed. In the current situation, how can it look like a Hongmen feast.

Li Shimin stood on the side of the boat with his hands cut behind his back, raised his eyes to Qin Mubai with his back to look into the distance, and leisurely chanted a poem: "Spring searches for the bones of the horse, and the bridle always looks down on the long river." The glow lingers in the brocade, and the wind rolls up in front of the ......"

Qin Mubai often accompanied him, and once heard this poem at a Hanmo meeting. At that time, Li Shimin once climbed high and looked at the river of Luoshui when he was in the eastern capital of Luoyang. This poem was written in the spring, when Li Shimin's mood was also quite relaxed, and the words were full of praise and nostalgia.

In this situation, how could he still be in the mood to chant this old poem?

"Mu Bai."

Just as Qin Mubai was muttering, Li Shimin spoke.

"Wechen is here." Qin Mubai stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"I ask you a little thing." Li Shimin smiled and said as easily as a casual chat, "What does it mean to be a person who dares to face you with an unobstructed view of his back?" ”

"This means that this person has a lot of trust in me." Qin Mubai secretly wondered in his heart: Just now he has been turning his back to me like this, which means that he trusts me very much? Looks like we're going to get to the point......

"I trust you very much." Sure enough, Li Shimin said, "I have always been suspicious of people, and I am not suspicious of employing people." ”

"Wechen knows. Weichen's forgiveness and dependence on His Majesty are inscribed. Qin Mubai said.

"But often, the more people I trust hurt me, the more sad I feel." Li Shimin said suddenly.

Qin Mubai's heart was shocked, and his brows furrowed: "Where is Weichen's mistake, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

"You're not wrong, I'm wrong." Li Shimin still cut his hands behind his back, but his brows were dry, and his expression became a little silent and serious.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is confused......" Qin Mubai said blankly.

"Don't be confused." Li Shimin chuckled lightly and said, "The reason why I called you here today to talk is just to talk about private matters. The Wudeden Hall is a public meeting place for state affairs, and some topics are inconvenient to discuss there. ”

"What is Your Majesty's admonition, but here?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Hmm...... I've been talking to you for a long time. If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about Gaoyang. Li Shimin said, "I'm asking you right now, what happened to you and her?" ”

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen...... I really don't know how to start. ”

"Let's start from the beginning, in detail and in detail." Li Shimin said.

"Yes......" Qin Mubai responded, but told him and Princess Gaoyang from the first conflict, to teaching pipa, and going out of the palace to play. Of course, the warmth between the two is omitted, and naturally there will be no mention of him teaching Princess Gaoyang to secretly deal with Fang's love.

"It's my carelessness." After listening, Li Shimin also smiled helplessly with some distress, "Gao Yang has been spoiled since he was a child, and his temperament is strong and stubborn. I also ignored that she was about to grow up, and already had her own emotions and thoughts. When I realized this problem and was about to marry her to the Fang family, it seemed that it was already too late. Gao Yang, she already likes you. ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Qin Mubai was dumbfounded, stunned in embarrassment.

"Relax, I'm not so confused." Li Shimin smiled lightly, and patted Qin Mubai's shoulder, "Gao Yang likes you, it's not your fault." In fact, it's not Gao Yang's fault, it's the fault of me. ”

"Why did Your Majesty say this, how can you be wrong when you are the dragon in the world?" Qin Mubai said.

"My name is the Son of Heaven, but in fact I am also a mortal person, and I can be infallible? Otherwise, why do I need a counselor like Wei Zheng to remind and advise me from time to time? Li Shimin smiled, but also showed a trace of sadness, and sighed leisurely, "Now, Gao Yang's marriage has become out of control. Fang Xuanling actually ignored my holy order, expelled his son Fang Yiai from his home and exiled him to the Northwest Frontier to serve in the army, and threatened to resign from his position, saying that he would rather die than accept the gift of the emperor's marriage. Gao Yang is the most pitiful, she ...... She's crazy! ”

"Ah!!h Qin Mubai's acting skills were very good and exclaimed, "How is it possible?" ”

"You don't have any jokes, can I still lie to you?" Li Shimin smiled bitterly with a sad look on his face, "Gao Yang is my favorite daughter. Although she is the most angry with me, she is the most relatable to me. From childhood to adulthood, I have cared for her like meat in my heart. I never imagined that I would choose a good family for her to marry for the sake of her life, and in the end it would be like this. Now, Gao Yang is crazy, and there is a gap between Fang Xuanling and me, I knew this was the case, why did I bother in the first place? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be so sad, with the wisdom of the imperial doctor's medical skills and the blessings of Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely be able to turn the corner from danger." Qin Mubai had no choice but to comfort him. But I kept wondering in my heart: How could Li Shimin have such an attitude and statement?

Originally, I thought he would be angry with me, or quietly give me a small shoe to wear and drive me away. I never expected that he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of holding me responsible, but only showed sadness, and vaguely seemed to ask for me.

"Hey......" Li Shimin sighed, raised his eyes to look into the distance, and said leisurely, "The matter has come to this point, and I am left to sigh." I can rule the world and rule all the people, but I can't do anything about my own precious daughter. In fact, I gave the marriage to the Fang family, and I was also for her good. Even if she doesn't want to mess around with me all day, it's far better than being crazy now! ”

True.

Qin Mubai can only use these four words to describe Li Shimin's performance at the moment. There is no doubt that he is still deeply in love with Princess Gaoyang's precious daughter. After all, it is flesh and blood and a pampered heart, and when the conflict broke out, Li Shimin hated to kill this unscrupulous woman with his own hands. But once Princess Gaoyang really had three longs and two shorts, Li Shimin, who was a father, relented again.

"Your Majesty, what should we do at this time, is there a place where Weichen can serve?" Qin Mubai took the initiative to ask for help very interestingly.

"You still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell!" Li Shimin said, "Gao Yang is crazy, and the matter is somewhat related to you. At present, the imperial doctors of all sizes in the court are helpless about her condition, Gao Yang is so crazy that she doesn't even know her mother, and when she sees me, she cries and throws things to smash me, and I don't dare to see her now. I want you to ...... Go see her. Let's see if we can make her condition have some benefits. ”

"Wechen should obey orders and do his best." Qin Mubai said softly.

"Hey......" This is Li Shimin's third sigh today, he patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Mubai, in fact, I don't know in my heart that you are more than a hundred times better than that house?" But the king joked that as early as more than two years ago, I had promised Fang Xuanling to marry Gao Yang to his family Erlang. If you are helpless, you must not complain. ”

"How dare Weichen!" Qin Mubai hurriedly arched his hand, "Your Majesty, listen to it, Weichen doesn't have half a point of non-interest in Princess Gaoyang!" ”

"I naturally understand, you don't have to defend yourself." Li Shimin smiled and said, "These things don't need to be discussed now." Gao Yang is crazy, what kind of marriage and other things are already clever words. Right now, I only hope that Gao Yang can recover, which is better than anything else. As long as she recovers, I will be satisfied, and I will no longer be as reluctant as I used to be. ”

"Your Majesty's deep affection for licking calves is admirable." Qin Mubai said as he said it, and secretly wondered in his heart: Li Shimin's words are interesting to me, is she asking me to convey this message to Princess Gaoyang? - Fang Xuanling has already insisted on not being married to the emperor, this marriage is blown, and the emperor will not force Gao Yang anymore!

Gao Yang won!

But...... Gao Yang is also crazy!

Qin Mubai's heart was full of sorrow for a while, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

In any case, as long as the person is good, everything is fine, and any troubles and problems can be solved. But now...... Gao Yang's situation is really unexpected and a great tragedy!

"Okay, we don't need to say more." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Because of the Gaoyang incident, I am a little confused, and I am not in the mood to listen to your report on Jiangzhou's official affairs for a while." Now you go to the Xianju Hall to meet Gao Yang first, and when you come back, I will wait for you in the Penglai Hall to reply. And the pheasant slaves and sons, they think of you every day. ”

"Wechen obeys!"
