lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

After dinner, Qin Mubai and his family stunned for a while, and then they went to visit Qin Mubai's new "Public Horse Mansion" together. At this time, the marriage project will be nearing completion, and the whole picture can be seen at a glance.

Qin Mubai's original house was not very large, but it was already rare and precious in the golden city of Chang'an. Now the new marry house, which is to be used for the wedding of Princess Gaoyang, has been expanded by another circle, adding more than ten acres of land, and enclosing the houses of the neighbors on the left and right, which naturally costs a lot of money. The area to be expanded is mainly the back house. Originally, there was only a simple polo field. Qin Mubai used to ride horses to practice martial arts. Nowadays, the plain grid is divided into two pieces, one is the "Spring and Autumn Garden", and the pavilion garden is widely planted. The various flowers are used for the princesses and horses to relax and escape the summer heat. The value of one of the wonderful flowers from the Tianzhu Kingdom, the "Machinati", is enough for ordinary people to spend a year. On weekdays, it is only planted in the imperial garden of Penglai Palace, Li Shimin's favorite. Dare to be planted directly with Li Shimin's Jun finger, because Princess Goyang loves this flower very much.

This garden alone seems to be formed by piles of gold and silver. The entire courtyard was expanded. The dougong large tiled house in the former house was replaced with the 12-story stone steps commonly used by the royal family, the eight-legged censer was squatted on the large stone platform, and the main house was replaced with a three-story splendid dragon and phoenix. The floor-to-floor Feidiao building is supported by twelve large Feifeng pillars, with golden light and red glow, and the furnishings in the house are even more gorgeous and exceptionally impressive...

I don’t know how much it costs!

Princess Gaoyang, who doesn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, was overjoyed when she saw Qin Mubai's family. Although the Qin family has been rich for many years, it has never been used to luxury. If this was seen by Qin Shubao, who has always been low-regulated and thrifty, he would definitely refuse to accept the house. Zhenguan Datang has always advocated thrift. Honest officials like Wei Zheng can grow wild grass in the house, and the furnishings in the home are not as good as a small food and clothing business traveler.

This time the emperor made a big splash on Princess Goyang's marriage, and he might even be criticized and criticized.

However, these issues were not considered by Qin Mubai. He never made any requests. The emperor insisted on such an arrangement. What Qin Mubai saw was only the emperor's preference for his daughter and his respect for his husband. This is a favor, even if you have no intention of showing off and high-profile, you must accept it. Otherwise, it is bound to embarrass the emperor who is not human.

After visiting the house, Qin Mubai was about to send Princess Gaoyang back to the palace, once to return to Beijing to return to the palace, and second to thank the house. Princess Gao Yang insisted on saying that if you are tired today, why not go back tomorrow? Qin Mubai couldn't help her this time, saying that she had just returned to the capital and was all staring at her. It would be better for the princess to return to the palace to rest tonight.

Princess Goyang had to obey. The two packed up their carts, horses and other things, brought some gifts from Xiangyang, and went into the palace.

It's already night, and the city of Chang'an with rich nightlife is just right. Cars and horses passed by the West Market, stopped and walked, from the Xuanwu Gate of the Daming Palace to the Harem. Asked the **** on duty, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had not yet returned to the harem and was still discussing matters in the Wude Hall. The two condemned the palace maidservant and the **** to go and salute first, and enrolled with Concubine Yin De, and then went to the Wude Hall to see the driver.

Far away from the Wude Temple, I saw the iron armors in charge of the torch. The emperor was still here, but stopped at the Hongwen Hall. It seemed that an important meeting was still being held. Generally speaking, if it is an ordinary discussion, it is in the Imperial Study Room of Wude Palace. If it is an important meeting, it will formally send out a proposal to hold the "Prime Meeting" at the Hongwenguan. Most of the participants are the prime ministers of the three provinces and the responsible officials of the relevant government offices.

The Hundred Cavalry Officer on duty today is really Qin Tong, the eldest brother of Qin Mubai. The two brothers saw it from a distance, and eagerly met with joy. The two of them didn’t talk much because they were in public office. Qin Mubai only listened to Qin Tong. Today’s imperial meeting had been held for more than two hours. As long as the prime ministers and important ministers in Beijing came, even those who were seriously ill and bedridden. Wei Zheng also asked someone to carry it, and also invited Li Jing. To ask about the content of the meeting, Qin Tong did not know. It’s just that Congwen’s Hundred Cavalry Chief Shi Qin Bin is in charge of the emperor’s guards, and asked him if he might know.

Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang had to wait patiently. It was nearly half an hour later, when the night was deep, the door of Hongwen Hall opened, and a few ministers walked out of it for the first time. Under the shining of the fire, Qin Mubai, standing in the dark, clearly saw Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who were waiting for Zaifu. Wei Zheng was indeed carried out while sitting on a sedan chair. Li Jing, who was tall with a big beard and bright beard. The walking stick is also particularly eye-catching.

Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows and wondered what a major event. He invited the semi-retired Wei Zheng and the retired Li Jing to negotiate until such a late night?

Princess Gao Yang was impatient while sitting in the car. When the ministers were almost gone, she shouted: "Mu Bai, can you go in? This meeting is over!"

"Well, go!" Qin Mubai opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Princess Gao Yang to get off.

At this moment, a man who did not wear an official gown but wore a crane cloak white robe walked out of the Hongwen Pavilion, fluttering in the night breeze with a divine appearance.

The man in the white robe seemed to have eyes and ears. Hearing the princess Gao Yang's call of "Mu Bai" from a distance, he stopped his feet and looked at the dark corner, and walked straight over.

Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang also noticed this person and were curious. Princess Gao Yang didn’t recognize it until she got close, and said hurriedly: "Ah, it's Li Banxian!"

"Li Banxian?" Qin Mubai's heart was stunned: Could it be "Li Chunfeng"? !

When he was hesitating, the white-robed man walked up to the two of them and said with a bow, "Humble post Li Chunfeng, I have seen the princess and General Qin."

It really is Li Chunfeng!

As for Li Chunfeng, before coming to Datang, Qin Mubai, like many Chinese, had heard many legends about him. Like Yuan Tiangang, he is a famous "sacred stick" of this era.

This magic stick is not derogatory, because it is obviously an exaggeration to say that he is a fairy, so I had to condescend to "the magic stick".

Regardless of the many legends that the two have left in history, just a piece of "Tui Bei Tu" is enough to establish the name of the two people. The magic of "Tui Tubei" is that it was born in this era, but it has promoted important events such as the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the entry of the Qing army, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Japanese invasion of China. It can be called a divine book.

In addition, the two are intensively studied in mathematics, astronomy, geography, and physiognomy. Today, the calendar of the Tang Dynasty is formulated by Li Chunfeng, an order of Taishi. On the other hand, Yuan Tiangang is more proficient in physiognomy, showing people that physiognomy and destiny are all accurately fulfilled. From a face, one can see the life, death, wealth and end of life.

As a result, Qin Mubai has always been curious about Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. According to reports, Yuan Tiangang showed Wu Meiniang to her fortune-telling when she was very young, saying that if she was born as a man, it would be the fate of the emperor. This remark was written up in the annals of history, but it was not fabricated by Wu Zetian, who was later enthroned, because Qin Mubai had personally verified Wu Meiniang and the answer was quite positive.

These things really cannot be explained by science.

But there are so many things that science cannot explain, just like how many years ago people did not believe that the earth is round and refuted the myth that science is the devil. Maybe one day, many things from the ancient traditions studied by the Chinese predecessors will come into the room?

Now, Li Chunfeng, a half immortal, is standing in front of him, and he eagerly moves forward, Qin Mubai becomes more curious.

"Li Taishi exempted the gift." Princess Gao Yang said with a grin, "Half Immortal Taishi, what a good thing to take care of this princess and her husband today? I'm getting married soon, are you here? For Xiangrui?"

"Haha!" Li Chunfeng said with a long, relaxed smile with a three-foot-long beard. The humble job took the liberty to stop him, there is a little bit to talk to General Qin."

"Oh, it's nothing to do with me?" Princess Gaoyang curled her lips. "That's it, you can talk about it. I'll go in to find the emperor father." Princess Gaoyang left. Qin Mubai smiled and said to Li Chunfeng: "Don't blame Li Taishi, your Royal Highness is such a straightforward temper."

"It's okay. The humble post and Princess Gaoyang are also familiar. General Qin, please take a step to speak." Li Chunfeng arched his hands.

The two went to a quiet place, Qin Mubai asked Tai Shi Gong for advice?

Li Chunfeng is only in his early thirties, but his eyes are so old and star-like, he stared at Qin Mubai and looked up and down three times without evasiveness, his brows were twisted and his face was confused, and he twisted his beard. Three times: "Weird! Weird! Weird!"

Now that Qin Mubai became curious, he smiled and asked: "Why is Li Taishi repeating three weird sounds? Could someone Qin die in disaster?"

"No, that's not the case." Li Chunfeng laughed embarrassingly, and then apologized, "Although the humble post and the general once served in the palace, but the humble post was deeply arranged in the Taishi Bureau. , I rarely met with the general. But I remembered that a few years ago, Senior Brother Yuan (respectful name, refers to Yuan Tiangang) had touched the bones of your father and the general, and said that he would die if he was less than fifty years old. Then the Qin family A family who stays a protagonist but not a concubine, keeps the wealth and honor of one life but is nowhere near the honor of his fathers. Is General Qin able to understand this?"

"Naturally." Qin Mubai raised his brows and said face-to-face with Li Chunfeng, "It means that my father must not live to be fifty years old. Among his three sons, I am the only one who is born, which means I will be My father died shortly after his death. Moreover, my Qin family has been in a slump since my father left. At most, I will keep some wealth from being brought into poverty."

"Exactly." Li Chunfeng's expression became more solemn, staring at Qin Mubai's eyes and eyebrows repeatedly, his face became more and more novel, and he couldn't help but smile, and said, "It's really weird! Since his debut, Senior Brother Yuan has never made a move easily, but every time he gives a Mogu face to someone, it is all effective and unsatisfactory. But the Qin family’s fate is not good for him?"

Qin Mubai's heart moved: Could it be that I came through and changed all these fate? !

In the dark, there are really a few days to fight? !

"Oh, humble duty is also a momentary curiosity. If there is any offense, I still hope Qin General Haihan!" Seeing Qin Mubai also fell into silence and hesitation, Li Chunfeng hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay." Qin Mubai smiled generously and waved his hand. "However, this is the first time I have heard of this now. Is it true that Mr. Yuan once told his father and the next person?"

"Really." Li Chunfeng smiled slightly, and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor knows very well about this. During a banquet in the early years, Senior Brother Yuan and his Majesty’s orders had touched many founding officials. He faced each other with bones, but he didn’t say anything to listen to the old officials, only his majesty knew. If General Qin doesn’t believe it, he can go to his majes’s place to collect evidence."

"Oh, that's not necessary, I believe that Li Taishi is." Qin Mubai smiled, "Then Li Taishi has calculated, why has my Qin family's fate changed?"

"No." Li Chunfeng smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Senior Brother Yuan has been traveling in Kyushu for many days. This technique of Mogu face-to-face is not good at the next. However, if General Qin is also interested, you might as well. Report the eight-character birthday to Li. After Li returns, he can calculate it in detail."

"Okay!" Qin Mubai smiled generously and reported his birth date to him.

Li Chunfeng listened, pinched a rough count, and looked surprised again.

"This is a clear calculation? How?" Qin Mubai asked curiously.

There was a hint of horror and even anger in Li Chunfeng's eyes.

Qin Mu's white brows twitched: "Why is Tai Shi Gong like this? Is there something wrong with Tai Shi Gong that has angered Tai Shi Gong?"

Li Chunfeng frowned, and said solemnly: "General Qin, please forgive me for being rude. It's just that I and other physiognomy scholars have taboos. This dead man's life must not be counted, otherwise it will hurt his life. He was just humbled. Hearing the birth date horoscopes reported by General Qin, a cloud of suspicion arose in her heart. After a little calculation, you can easily know that this is the birth date of a dead person!"

Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel cold in his neck, and he also broke out in a cold sweat!

My boy, amazing!

Speaking of which, the "Qin Mubai" of the Tang Dynasty should really have died long ago? If it weren't for me to pass through the evil spirits, he has turned into dust at this time?

Qin Mubai hurriedly changed his face, patted his forehead vigorously, and hurriedly said, "Taishi, don’t blame, don’t blame! In the next moment, I am confused, and reported the wrong date of birth! It's just that the month, the year and the hour are correct. , But the day is not the 5th, but the 15th!"

This is his birthday in the 21st century in his previous life. It is indeed a coincidence, but the year of birth is different from the day, and the month and hour are the same.

Li Chunfeng took a deep breath and nodded slowly, pinching his fingers again, his face lightened a bit, and he smiled slightly: "That's right. After returning from the humble position, I will calculate and see what the general's life is like. However, this is not a humble job after all. General power is just a joke, you don’t have to take it seriously."

"Of course." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Li Taishi doesn't have to take it into consideration. You may speak up if you have something to say."

"Okay. That humble post will retire first and will visit again in the future."

The two said goodbye. Qin Mubai walked into the Hongwen Pavilion and saw Princess Gao Yang walking out with Li Shimin's arm. The father and daughter talked very happily.

Qin Mubai came forward to see the salute, and Li Shimin laughed and said, "Mubai, are you back? I heard that you had a good time with Xiangyang and his party. That's good. After you come back to rest for a while, it will continue in half a month. I have started some sacrifices and rituals, and I am busy. Before that, recharge your energy and gather some energy."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Mubai smiled and folded his hands, and then thanked him for a while. While chatting, the monarchs and ministers went to the harem under the guard of Baiqi.

Before the gate of the Daming Palace, Qin Mubai stopped and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has stopped here. The night is deep, and your Majesty can rest earlier if he has worked **** state affairs."

Li Shimin nodded, and seemed to have something to say to Qin Mubai. Princess Gaoyang, Baiqi and others were also acquainted and stopped obediently. The monarch and the minister took a few steps and were alone.

Li Shimin cut his back and frowned, and said, "Mu Bai, you just returned to Beijing. I shouldn't have told you these important things. It's just that today's Hongwenguan Imperial Conference was hit by you. I might as well tell you. The discussion at today's meeting concerns Lanzhou."

"Oh?" Qin Mubai's spirit shrank, "There is war in Lanzhou?"

Li Shimin twisted his brows and nodded: "It can be said that, in a moment, the war did not start. Simply put, things are the same. Remember when you just came back from Lanzhou, I told you Are you talking about the marriage of the Tubo people?"

"Of course I remember." Qin Mubai said, "The Tubo people are very rude, knowing that your Majesty has given me the marriage, please send your Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang to the marriage!"

"Keep your voice down, don't make Ling'er hear it." Li Shimin glanced at Princess Gaoyang not far away, and said, "Of course I can't agree to this matter. At that time, I told the Tibetan envoy that Princess Gaoyang is absolutely perfect. There is no change in the possibility of giving Tubo Zampo. The marriage gift should be discussed again. The Tubo envoy was naturally displeased, but did not dare to make mistakes. So he stayed in Chang'an all the time and came to ask this matter every time. When they bothered to ask, they said to marry another princess to marry Tubo. The Tubo people were very happy. At the end of the year, I called the royal family and prepared to choose a young unmarried woman from the royal family to be the princess and remarry with Tubo. Zampo. Just as we were about to discuss a result, the Tubo messenger heard the news from nowhere, and blamed me for not granting my relatives, showing disrespect to Tubo Zampo, and insincere intermarriage to make peace, so I left without saying goodbye!"

"So unreasonable!" Qin Mubai suddenly became anxious, "Why do the Tubo people choose fat and thin? Originally they were defeated. The sixty thousand army was beaten by 200 people in Dafeichuan. Why is my face so domineering in Chang'an? It's really unreasonable!"

"Quite your anger, how can you be more angry than my anger?" Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and patted Qin Mubai's shoulder, and said, "I am naturally also very angry. The Tubo barbarians are just irrational. I don’t know the respect and inferiority, these truths don’t make sense with their stubbornness. Originally, I repayed my grievances with morality. I wanted to stop fighting and bleed less, and care for the people and the army. I didn’t think about it, they might not take themselves too seriously. I thought I was really afraid of their group of barbarians. Let’s go, I’m really not rare. If they want to come again, don’t I still have Qin Mubai? Haha!"

In a few words, Qin Mu's blood is boiling!

He clasped his fists heavily, and he said: "Your Majesty, you only need to give an order, Qin Mubai leaps and spears and picked him on the snowy plateau of Tubo!!!"

"Haha, okay! I just like your wildness and madness, like when I was young!" Li Shimin laughed heartily, "I know that you are a firm leader. These two days If you are in Chang'an, this imperial meeting doesn’t have to be so sloppy."

Qin Mubai twisted his brows lightly, and said in a low voice: "There are still many people in the DPRK who oppose war with Tubo?"

Li Shimin showed a hint of embarrassment, sighed and nodded, and said: "It's no wonder they. In fact, it is better not to fight than to fight. Fighting means loss and bloodshed. Killing a thousand enemies It’s been a loss of 800, since ancient times. This time, it was indeed a good time to negotiate with Tubo. It was a pity that I was delayed in waiting for someone to marry. The manpower, material and financial resources invested in the war against Tubo were enough to emptied one of the three to five years of the national treasury. This is not even the loss of Ding Zhuang and the population, and the personal wealth that will continue to be consumed."

"Your Majesty, you can't actually calculate the account like that." Qin Mubai rarely gave Li Shimin face, and didn't follow his meaning.

Sure enough, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and the topic was provoked. He seemed to be very interested in talking. He actually turned around and said to Princess Gao Yang that she should go back to the harem to accompany her mother and concubine, and he wants to be with Qin Mu. Bai returned to the Imperial Study of Wude Hall, and talked with the lamp at night.

In the middle of Qin Mubai's arms!

So the monarch and the courtier returned to the Imperial Study Room of the Wude Hall and made tea and sat down with candles.

Li Shimin said: "Just now you said that the account can't be calculated like this. Let me talk about it, then how to calculate it?"

"Your Majesty, the Weichen did not refute your majesty's words and majesty a bit. In the mind of the Weichen, that's what he thinks." Qin Mubai didn't avoid it, and said directly, "Standing at the current position, it is indeed impossible War. Actually, from any position in any era, war is not a good thing."

"Isn't this right?" Li Shimin smiled and asked, "Then why do you refute me?"

"Weichen's refutation is precisely for this reason, Your Majesty!" Qin Mubai clasped his fists and said sternly, "Your Majesty, in any age and any position, there will be war. Standing in history and era We should reduce some wars for our children and grandchildren! If our country of Tang Dynasty, Thailand’s troops are strong and strong, the majesty spreads in the universe, the whole world will be conquered!-At this time, when we don’t need military force, when will we wait? To tell the truth about beheading-every king and dynasty hopes that they can live forever and inherit forever, but are there really such emperors and dynasties?"

Li Shimin's expression became serious, and he nodded: "This is indeed a big truth, indeed it is not."

"The rise and fall are natural, and victory and defeat are based on! When Datang is in the midst of prosperity, when will it not force the Siyi to pacify the barbarians?" Qin Mubai said solemnly, "Standing in Zhenguan for fourteen years now It’s really difficult for us to go to war because once a war is fought, this year’s wealth may be lost in the shadows of the sword. However, considering it in ten, twenty, or even a hundred years, at this time, It's time to fight! Now that we fight a battle, we can deduct the cost and pay of ten battles for future generations, and even end the troubles forever!-Your Majesty!!! Isn't this cost-effective?! What is the 14th year of Zhenguan? Is it important, or the ten years and centuries of Datang, and the millennium heritage of China?"

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained unchanged, and he wrote lightly: "They are all important. However, if war is really necessary, I will never avoid it. I always have this attitude."

"Wars are absolutely indispensable between Datang and Tubo. Even if your majesty marries Princess Gaoyang to Tubo, it may be possible to exchange for ten, twenty, or even thirty years of false peace, but contradictions and conflicts will continue to accumulate. , It may be even more terrifying when it really breaks out. If you want to fundamentally eliminate the war, unless one party really falls. In your time, your majesty, there is probably no possibility that Tubo will defeat Datang. But your majesty, you can guarantee that One hundred or two hundred years later, can Tubo ever beat the Tang Dynasty? Moreover, in these two hundred years, the conflict and friction between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty will take away many times the wealth of Zhenguan’s 14 years. Income?" Qin Mubai said astonishing again.

After listening, Li Shimin didn't say anything, but got up and stood up with his hands, pacing to the window, looking up at the moon.

"I have thought of what you said. These are just some great principles. Anyone who has a little bit of knowledge in the DPRK may understand it."

"It's true." Qin Mubai came over and said, "Weichen admits that he is not particularly clever. The difference is that, apart from sharing the worries for your majesty and solving problems for the Tang Dynasty, we also hope that we The descendants of you can live better."

Li Shimin's expression was slightly stagnant, turned around to look at Qin Mubai, and said: "This sentence, speaking of my heart, I hope that our children and grandchildren will live better. I am not. God, it is impossible to predict what will happen decades and a hundred years from now. All I have done since I became the throne is to hope that my children and grandchildren and all the people of Datang will live a better life. It is precisely because of this idea. And thoughts, I can stand against the crowd and support all the New Deals you implement in Lanzhou. From a close point of view, your measures are absolutely wasteful to the people and money, but from the historical height and the long-term interests of the century, this is the best deed of goodness. There are many ministers in the dynasty. What they care more about is what kind of good advice and advice they have given, how they can win the name of goodness here or stay in history. If there is a moment of success, they will know Xinhuan. They can Thinking of the beauty of such a century-old plan, but because it is contrary to their current goals and interests, I did not hesitate to oppose it. To be honest, I sometimes feel disappointed in some people. But from their duty. In other words, they are not wrong, they are all fulfilling their duties. The only explanation is that... they don't have the historical responsibility like you, Mu Bai."

"We are really happy to receive such praise from your Majesty!" Qin Mubai smiled heartily and said, "In fact, although we are less than three years old, we can still be satisfied. An extremely human minister. Famous in the world, marrying your majesty’s favorite princess, the scenery is dazzling. But the ministers are not satisfied at all. The only and most important reason is that Datang can be better, and can also stand at a higher historical height. Do more for future generations! Your Majesty is more of a mature man, and the Minister is also very young. Whenever he thinks of the future, the Minister can accompany His Majesty to do many vigorous events, the Minister is excited and very excited!!"

Li Shimin smiled for the first time today. Although there was a bit of fatigue in his smile, it was full of relief. He clapped Qin Mubai's left and right shoulders with both hands, and said, "Mu Bai, aside from you, my monarch and Yue's identities, you and I can be regarded as confidantes. Ambition, great ambition, these four words, this year, I don’t know it has been said tens of thousands of times. But in my eyes, only Qin Shihuang is the only one who can truly understand and implement the performance. The Han Wushu is not bad, but the Han Wugong has insufficient cultural governance, so there is a troubled world in the Three Kingdoms. I hope that the Great Tang that I, together with our ancestors and you will be able to create a new glorious moment."

Qin Mubai nodded lightly and said:

"Weichen believes that Datang...not to mention that there will be no one, at least, there will be no one before!"
