After having a dinner at Li Ke's house, Yuwen Hongtai and Yin Yang, who had not seen each other for a long time, also attended the dinner together. The two did not go to Jiangzhou with Li Ke to do errands but stayed in Chang'an to guard the palace. After hearing about the Jiangzhou case, they regretted not being able to participate in an addiction.

We had a very happy conversation, but Qin Mubai didn't dare to stay more after the banquet, because the emperor was still waiting for him to make an order! After returning to the palace, she was immediately busy with Princess Gao Yang's affairs, but her official duties were temporarily delayed.

So Qin Mubai bid farewell to Li Ke and others, and left the palace with the reluctance of Princess Gaoyang, and went to the palace.

At this time, Li Shimin should have a love dinner with Li Zhi and Li Mingda in the harem. I haven't seen those two caring and cute little princes for a long time, Qin Mubai really missed it a little, so he went straight to Penglai Hall. He thought about it all the way: It’s strange, how come I and Li Shimin’s sons and daughters are very congenial, and the relationship is so close?

Li Shimin was indeed in the Penglai Hall, as if he was waiting for Qin Mubai to come. When Li Zhi and Li Mingda saw Qin Mubai, they yelled in surprise and rushed over: "Wow, the village chief! The village chief is back!"

"Haha! Your Royal Highness and Princess, how are you?" Qin Mubai was also happy, and hugged them around. The two little dolls are like little calves who have been away from their mother for a long time, and they are not willing to stick to Qin Mubai's body, and their little faces are full of joy.

Li Shimin laughed and let them play for a while before letting the nanny take them away.

The monarch and ministers sat down at the table, drank a cup of tea, and played a game of chess.

Qin Mubai once played chess with Li Ke, and he is by no means an opponent; this time he played against Li Shimin and felt even more incompetent. This pair of father and son is really alike. When it comes to playing chess, as long as you start a game, you will be quite committed, not regretting the game, just like fighting on the battlefield, the layout is full of wonderful tricks, real swords and guns. blood.

Qin Mubai lost three games in a row. Originally, his chess skills were average, which was not his specialty.

During the chess game, Li Shimin didn't talk about any official or private affairs, but just concentrated on playing chess. At this time, he smiled and said, "Mu Bai, your chess skills are not good, so you should practice more. This chess is like a pawn, and there are many similar principles in it. When you play chess, I know that you have not read it well. How many military books. It’s not enough for the generals!"

"Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, and Weichen really hasn't read any military books seriously." Qin Mubai continued his topic. At this moment, he thought to himself, how did Li Shimin get into the art of war for no reason? The game of chess has something to do with the art of war, which is obviously an excuse to open up the topic.

"Hehe, you have good qualifications. If you learn the art of war, you will be successful." Li Shimin said casually, as if talking about family. "I was 16 years old and joined the army. I have been in the world for more than ten years. I have read countless military books. In addition to the accumulated experience of thousands of wars, it is also considered to be a comprehension in this regard. In order to be brave, you must learn some art of war. The so-called art of war is the way to defeat the enemy. There are not many soldiers but the essence. , Will not be courageous but use soldiers to obtain the law. If a person who uses the soldiers well, even though he is fearless with one blow, he can still overcome the crowd; but for the vulgar ones who don’t know the soldiers, even though they hold thousands of troops, they are like scattered sand. Such as the chicken and tile dog, which can be slaughtered. Although the world is in Chengpingguan and He Ningding, but the kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty must always be prepared for danger and never forget martial arts. At all times, as a general, you must know how to be brave and learn well. The art of war should be the first."

"Your Majesty teaches, and the ministers remember them in his heart." Qin Mubai bowed his hands and said, "The ministers also wanted to learn more art of war, but it is better to read books than to have no books. What the book says is nothingness and vagueness. , Made Weichen feel like talking about soldiers on paper. Even if he memorizes all the words in the whole book, he is still a useless general who does not know soldiers."

"Good point." Li Shimin chuckled, "It is better to study hard than to have no books. Those who talk about soldiers on paper are not up to the task. However, young generals of your generation do not have many opportunities to practice, but if there is A teacher who has experienced many battles and experience as a guide is very different. First enlighten beginners, and then go to practice to consolidate knowledge. The two complement each other for the benefit of great good."

Qin Mubai's heart brightened: Li Shimin wasn't talking about... let me learn the art of war? King Jiang Xia once promised me that I would apprentice Li Jing. Could it be that he had already touched the emperor, and now he will talk about it? Now that the emperor has started this, why don't I be a little bit more interested in taking the initiative to invite you?

"Your Majesty taught me so much. In fact, the ministers also asked my father to teach me a lot of art of war. But my father told me that he had a rough knowledge of art of war, but he was not so sophisticated. My father said that bad teachers can hardly produce good students. , So I rarely want to point me." Qin Mubai said, "In this way, it is hard to find good teachers, and the ministers are also helpless."

"Haha, the famous generals of this dynasty dominate the world, and the rare generations in ancient and modern times are endless. What is meant by a mentor that is hard to find?" Li Shimin laughed.

Qin Mubai hurriedly clasped his fists: "Weichen is brave, please appoint your majesty for the weichen, please learn the art of war!"

"Hehe, the child can be taught." Li Shimin nodded and smiled, "Mubai, I ask you. In your eyes, who is the best general in this dynasty?"

Qin Mubai thought for a moment, and said: "Weichailers first entered Rongwu, with little experience and poor knowledge, so they dare not say anything. But I have heard my father and others often talk about it. People can be called leaders."

"Which two?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, and Wei Guo Gong Li Yao Shi."

"Hehe, Shubao has shown too much love for me. How can I compare this crude trick to Duke Wei Guo?" Li Shimin smiled, "So, do you want to worship me as a teacher?" /

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "Your Majesty will stop making fun of the ministers. Your Majesty has no time to do so, so how can the ministers dare to disturb your Majesty? Wei Guogong has already left to take care of his majesty at home. Go ahead and disturb."

"Hehe, I really don’t have time to accept some apprentices to teach or teach the art of war, and the teaching is definitely not good." Li Shimin said, "But it’s okay to teach Li Yaoshi. Although he has always been cautious and never accepts apprentices randomly, as long as I have spoken, and he will definitely not shirk it."

Qin Mubai was overjoyed, and immediately bowed: "Weichen thank you, your majesty!"

"Haha! It seems that you are also thirsty for knowledge!" Li Shimin laughed, "Get up, this is easy, I write a handwritten letter, and I will visit the sick Duke Weiguo Li on behalf of me. Pharmacist. The rest is left to your own play. Although I intend to recommend you to the pharmacist’s door to learn the art of war, I don’t want to make it difficult. Whether he wants to accept disciples or not, he still has to listen to his opinions. It depends on you. Do you have the ability to let him accept you willingly. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Weichen understands, thank you Majesty!" Qin Mubai thanked him with joy. Xindao, this time Li Daozong really gave me a great favor! This can be regarded as a reward for me by Li Shimin!

"Come here, get the sandalwood staff." Li Shimin called an **** and ordered him. After a few hours, the **** took a sandalwood staff in a tiger pattern box and gave it to the emperor.

Li Shimin opened the box, took out a bright purple sandalwood crutch, and said to Qin Mubai: "Mubai, you can take this thing to visit Duke Wei! After he calmed down Tuyuhun's return, the pharmacist had a leg problem. It is too inconvenient to walk, so I specially sent someone to customize this crutch for him. Originally, I customized two, one for Duke Wei Guo, and one for your father. But I heard that your father’s My condition has improved a lot, and now I don’t need crutches anymore, but what happened?"

Qin Mubai's heart moved, and he hurriedly folded his hands: "Just as your Majesty said, this is happening. It can be considered as a result of God’s blessings from your Majesty. My father’s condition has improved greatly. Now instead of using crutches, it is like rejuvenation. In general, he can draw a two-stone bow, fight rice with rice, and fight with arrows and fists at once. The Weichen is not his opponent's opponent."

"Oh, really?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, "This is really a great thing! Okay, I'm going to visit your Qin's house someday to explore Shubao's condition. If it's really as you said. , Isn’t it the God of War of Datang who is back again? Haha! I am so relieved!"

Qin Mubai was also secretly happy in his heart, thinking: Li Shimin must have known such news a long time ago. But when he talked to me at this time, he deliberately reopened the door for my father. It seems that after this Jiangzhou incident, I have made a great contribution to the Qin family. In this way, my father also got a lot of convenience. Furthermore, it may be related to the emperor's intention to marry the princess Goyang to me. After all, it may be "in-law" in the future, and Li Shimin should take care of and support the Qin family. When my Qin family regained its brilliance, it was an appropriate time, and Princess Gao Yang remarried into the Qin family.

This really complied with Li Ke's remarks. Everywhere, the people and the goods get the best of both ends!

"Weichen abides by the order." Qin Mubai took the crutch with both hands and carefully put it beside him.

"Jiangzhou and his party, you and Quan Wanji's assistant Li Ke, on behalf of me to patrol the pastoral disaster relief and care for the people, it is hard work." Li Shimin nodded with a smile on his face, "Your trip can be said to be worthy of my trust. The things I confessed have been handled very satisfactorily. So far, there has been no refugee riots, plagues and famines. The victims and the people have rebuilt their homes and passed the winter safely. I am very relieved. Although I have made a decree to grant you good land, but it is still not enough. Show your merits. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Weichen has nothing to ask for." Qin Mubai arched his hands, "Furthermore, His Majesty has given us a generous gift just now, and the Weichen is very satisfied!"

The implication, naturally, is that Li Shimin recommended him to study the art of war in the door of pharmacists.

"Haha!" Li Shimin laughed, "Okay! Those who are eager to learn, use true knowledge as their wealth. I recommend you a good teacher, better than rewarding thousands of dollars. Mu Bai, I hope you will be able to succeed in the future. My father's mantle has become my generation of famous generals in Datang."

"Weichen must do our best!" Qin Mubai bowed his hands and bowed.

Missing the Jiangzhou case, which was complicated and full of inside stories, was passed by Li Shimin's trivial understatement. After that, the two of them didn't say anything about Jiangzhou, nor did they talk about Princess Gaoyang.

Qin Mubai also understood in his heart that letting Princess Gaoyang be free must be Li Shimin's instigation or acquiescence, so why deliberately pierce this layer of window paper at this time to embarrass him?

This time the confrontation between Princess Goyang and Li Shimin has temporarily come to an end with Princess Goyang's final victory. After all, it is Li Shimin's "father's mind" that has defeated the "jun's mind" after all.

"By the way, the last time you were on vacation, I was transferred to Jiangzhou, but I owe you a lot of vacation." Li Shimin smiled, "The new year is approaching, and your trip will be hard. I’ll take a vacation and go back to rest for a while, and come back to work after the New Year!"

"Thank you Majesty!" Qin Mubai was secretly delighted: Okay, it's a long holiday! In the recent period, I was really busy and tired, so I had to rest for a while. Li Shimin's move also deliberately asked me to accompany Princess Gaoyang more, and then gave me plenty of time to find Li Jing's apprentice, right?

Anyway, it must be a good holiday!
