Li Zhi had just been sent away, and another guest came from the mansion. Shuang'er was serving Qin Mubai's breakfast, and the boss hummed unhappily, "What kind of people are these? I know that my brother is in a bad mood, but I will bother you one by one! Brother, I'll help you stop you. , You can eat breakfast at ease!"

"Forget it, little girl." Qin Mubai smiled, "People who have a good relationship with me will definitely not bother me at this time. Since it is here, there must be important things. It is both good friendship and good For important matters, please invite people in!"

"Huh!" Shuang'er snorted dully and went to the front hall to welcome the guests. Not long after the person came, the anger on Shuang'er's face disappeared. Qin Mubai was a little funny when he saw that person, who else could make a woman not get angry with him?

Of course, Zheng Anshun, the richest son in the world.

When I hurriedly met on Zhongnan Mountain that day, Qin Mubai knew that he had important matters, so he invited him to the mansion for a briefing, and he came today.

The two gave a brief salute. Zheng An went straight to the topic and said: "Brother Qin, the younger brother didn't want to interrupt, but there is a reason for it, please listen to Brother Qin."

"Well, Brother Zheng is welcome, please speak."

Zheng Anshun said: "The day before yesterday, Zheng was in the Luoyang area to manage his home in the Shangshe, and the king of Wei sent someone to look for him, and he invited to go to the capital to meet and talk about a small matter."

"A trivial matter?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "It is not a trivial matter that Wang Wei and Brother Zheng were dealing with. Come on, what?"

"Not long afterwards, as the fifth anniversary of the death of Empress Longsun, King Wei wants to build a temple in Chang'an, named'Da Ci'en Temple', to honor his mother." Zheng Anshun said, "But now, His Majesty is ill. Sorry, the turmoil in the dynasty. After the matter was mentioned to the court, it was like a clay cow entering the sea and no one would take care of it. So Wang Wei wanted to invest his own money to build this temple independently. But..."

Qin Mubai smiled and waved his hand to signal that Zheng Anshun doesn't need to say any more, nodded and said: "But Wang Wei has no money, so I ask you for help, right?"

"Yeah." Zheng Anshun nodded and said, "It was originally an act of filial piety, and since Wang Wei has spoken, the Zheng family should be obliged to help. A little money is not enough. But. I know that now that the storm is swaying above the court, nothing will be easy. A little care will affect the family. What's more, the Zheng family has already been entrusted to the general before the next. Such important things must be approved by the general. "

Qin Mubai nodded, lost in thought.

Wei Wang's hand is exquisite, and it can be described as multiple birds with one stone.

As a result, it is now in a stage where the battle for reserve is becoming fierce. Li Zhi's sudden emergence must have caused Li Tai to complain. To be honest, Wang Wei was not afraid of the prince at all, because he knew that his father did not like the prince, and he had intended to abolish him; but suddenly a Li Zhi like a white board appeared, making Li Tai feel lost.

His brother's direct relatives hadn't shown any signs of showing up before, and he was even simpler. But the more such an opponent, the more Li Tai feels helpless. It's like a hand-punching master facing a lot of cotton, no matter how hard it is, it can't be used-anyway, Li Zhi just doesn't fight him!

At this time, Li Tai is going to compete with Li Zhi. An important drama is the family card. He suddenly moved out of his deceased mother at this time, naturally to gain a good impression between the emperor and the emperor and grandson Wuji. Now, Li Tai probably realized how powerful his uncle, who had never been close before, had. He couldn't get rid of the skin to show good to his uncle, so he had to borrow the name of his late mother to get close to his uncle—so he had the idea of ​​building the Great Ci'en Temple. Moreover, everyone knows that Li Shimin has a good preference for the Queen of Longsun, and in his heart, the position of Queen of Longsun is unmatched. Li Tai also had the meaning of liking Li Shimin to build the Great Ci'en Temple on his own.

To put it bluntly, the construction of this Great Ci'en Temple is not so much a sacrifice to the mother, as it is an important political investment.

However, Li Tai, Qin Mubai, and others on this plane probably know that the Zheng family and the Qin family are already in the same line. If Zheng An Yiyun helped King Wei build the Great Ci'en Temple, it would undoubtedly mean that the Qin family also supported King Wei!

If Zheng An refuses to agree to Wei Wang's "request" to show kindness and filial piety this time, he appears to be extremely unkind and bears the title of "Tang Yishang". In addition, businessmen have always been eagerly looking forward to the favor of those princes and princes. This time King Wei openly asked for something to come to him. If he refused, he would be totally separated from King Wei!

So, it is not surprising that Zheng Anshun will be in a dilemma.

Qin Mubai thought for a long time and figured out these twists and turns, and said, "Brother Zheng, don't worry. It seems that my trip to the Wei Palace is absolutely necessary."

Zheng Anshun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Zheng knows that Brother Qin will take care of everything. The Zheng family will wait for Brother Qin to say everything. If you agree, the construction will start immediately, no need King Wei and Brother Qin have to worry about it for a while; if not, my Zheng family is also willing to advance and retreat with Brother Qin, and share the glory and shame."

"It's not that serious." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "This time, Wang Wei is not so much trying to speculate to invite favors, as he is forcing someone from Qin to make a clear statement. His prestige and status today, Wang Wei, in Chang'an, except for the Zheng family, those rich businessmen who are able to shake their arms and wave their hands, how many people smash their heads to throw money on him without blinking their eyelids. He will be missing. Money? The reason why he only found your Zheng family, he came to me mostly."

"Oh, that's the case! Brother Qin said that he hit the nail on the head!" Zheng Anshun said, "Zheng has also considered this question, thinking about it, and thinking that Wei Wang will never be short of money. He Finding a reason to come here is nothing more than forcing my Zheng family’s position and taking this to attack Brother Qin."

Qin Mubai smiled slightly to himself, and said: "Actually, Qin’s family doesn’t promote the low-ranking officials, and Wei Wang wants to deal with me. It’s just a matter of one sentence. The reason why he came around such a big curve to find me is nothing more than A motivation."

"What's the motive?" Zheng Anshun asked, and hurriedly said again, "Oh, Zheng said too much. This matter is sensitive and secretive. Brother Qin can be a younger brother and didn't ask that."

"It's okay to tell you." Qin Mubai smiled, "Speaking of which, King Wei's spearhead is always pointed at the East Palace. Now, the sudden emergence of Jin King Li Zhi unexpectedly caused him extreme A big obstacle. Moreover, King Jin is different from the prince. He does not fight, asks for nothing, and cries, makes trouble, and hangs himself and is unwilling to imprison the country. But it is such an opponent that makes King Wei very difficult to deal with. He can only change the current situation by changing the attitude of the people around King Jin. The most important person around King Jin is the eldest grandson Wuji. So he built the Great Ci'en Temple and changed the method to his uncle. Show good; at the same time, he found the Zheng family for funding, which made you unable to refuse. Doesn't this mean that someone from Qin, who helped him engage in political speculations with Wei Wang, stood in his camp? ! Although someone from Qin is not talented, he is the official teacher of King Jin, who has not yet taken office."

"So that's it!!!" Zheng Anshun suddenly realized, "Wei Wang, what a deep scheming!"

"That's not it." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and waved his hand lightly, "Brother Zheng, don't worry. Soldiers come to cover the water and cover the soil. If King Wei makes a move, someone will take it. A and him There is no grudge or hatred, and he will not take the initiative to provocation and trouble. For the safety of Qin and Zheng's family, Qin will not act recklessly. But at this time, it is not a good thing to be too close to any prince. We take it for granted. Okay, this is the measure."

"Everything is to listen to Brother Qin's teachings." Zheng Anshun arched his hands.

"Brother Zheng is too serious." Qin Mubai returned the gift and said, "It should be so. Brother Zheng waited for certain news. Not long after, certain will go to the Wei Palace and his party. At that time, everything See it for yourself."

Zheng Anshun nodded and asked: "At this time, Brother Qin is going to the Wei Palace, won't it be controversial?"

"It's okay." Qin Mubai sighed softly, and said, "The demon had a funeral, and Wang Wei sent someone to mourn the funeral. Before I could get a drink, I should pay a gift now. When I was young, someone prepared. Now, every major gateway in Chang'an sends people to hang on to the funeral, I will return the gifts one by one, and not only go to the Wei Wang’s family. The rumor will go out, and no one can say anything."

"Brother Qin acted carefully. It was Zheng who was too worried and ashamed!" Zheng Anshun smiled, his face was obviously relieved, and he smiled lightly, "You know, there is Brother Qin. The Lord’s heart is in the bones and everything is worry-free. Brother Qin is pleased to do so, so I won’t bother too much. Whenever there is a trend, Brother Qin sends a servant to send a letter, Zheng will die!"

"Brother Zheng is serious. Please!"

As soon as Zheng Anshun left, Qin Mubai was a little surprised when Li Daozong, who had just been talking about Zhuye, returned yesterday.

Qin Mubai invited Li Daozong into the house to sit down. Before he had time to buy tea, Li Daozong waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be busy anymore. This king will just say a few words. After speaking, he will leave."

"My lord, please speak." Qin Mubai asked, twisting his eyebrows. Seeing Li Daozong's expression, he was very anxious, there must be something on his mind.

"Only in the early morning before the upper dynasty, Wang Wei actually turned to my house and said a few words to me." Li Daozong said.

"Oh? King Wei took the initiative to visit the prince in the early morning? This is really new!" Qin Mubai said in surprise.

"Guess what he told me?" After saying this, Li Daozong asked and replied, "He actually talked to me about Yan'er married Tubo!"

"What?!" Qin Mubai was surprised and surprised, "As a prince, such a sensitive topic can only be discussed in the cabinet meeting. How can he talk about it in private?"

"If you know his attitude, you will know his intention." Li Daozong said with a serious expression.

"Lord, please speak."

"To put it simply, he opposes marriage to Tubo and supports the strategy of peace!" After Li Daozong finished speaking, two sword eyebrows were erected, his expression was unusually serious, and he said every word, "Li Tai, my heart is unfathomable. Ah!"

"So?" Qin Mubai also took a deep breath, and said in surprise, "Li Tai is really amazing! His vision is far more profound than that of his haunting prince and eldest brother. Go ahead!"

"No!" A sharp light flashed in Li Daozong's eyes, and he said solemnly, "Li Tai knows that he can't compete with Changsun Wuji and his team based on his current strength. So, he took the initiative to The military commander drew closer, trying to get us together and stand in his camp. At present, there is a clear division of forces between the courts and the court, and it is normal for King Wei to do this. His power is that the three of us just agreed last night Wang Wei had already planned for his strategy for a long time, and he expected that we and the three of them would reach an agreement to fight Tubo. So he stood up early and was close to us. You say, this situation, we Fortunately to push him Wei Wang out?"

"It's true..." Qin Mubai took a deep breath, and the full and fat face of Wang Wei immediately appeared in his mind. He smiled so kindly and harmlessly, but his mind was so deep Finger!

"As soon as King Wei left, this king reported an illness, and he did not go to the early court." Li Daozong snorted and said, "I'm afraid that when above the court, Li Tai suddenly hit us by surprise and openly confronted us. Stand on one side and propose a strategy that is diametrically opposed to Changsun Wuji."

"Probably not." Qin Mubai said affirmatively, "Wang Wei, this is a two-sided sword, and he wants to reap the source. He will never openly sing against Changsun Wuji in the court. Even if we propose a main battle. Wang Wei would not openly support his strategy. Because he did not dare to challenge Changsun Wuji, he could only draw us in private. At that time, we will be the ones who will be the first. If there is a disaster, it will be us and him. King Wei has nothing to do; if the last thing happens, King Wei will say how he worked hard for us from the emperor or the prime minister. As for whether he did it, only ghosts know. At that time, we have to thank him for King Wei' Stand together to help'. In the end, the first thing to remember is Wang Wei. This is his deceit!"

"Four fat guys!" Li Daozong slammed a fist on the table and chair in annoyance, and said bitterly, "The clever side is clever, but his mind is so wrong, how can he achieve great things? Isn't it a great harm to the world!"

"The prince does not need to be angry. This may be just Qin who treats the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. When the dynasty disperses today, he will know the result. If the king of Wei puts forward the proposal of'main battle' on the court, then we will Believe him for the time being, he is sincerely forming an alliance with us; if not, then we will be extra careful, and we can't break with him." Qin Mubai said.

"Well, this is what I want." Li Daozong nodded in agreement, and said, "Unsurprisingly, the four fat guys should have seen Li Ji and even Duke Wei! Admired, You have to know that Li Tai is not comparable to Li Chengqian. He is not only a scheming city government to win a big deal, but also very cruel to do things. In addition, he also has some foundation in the military. The current Yushi doctor Li Daliang is also one of my founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty. He was also a general in the army before. He has a high reputation and a wide network of people. Although Li Daliang is better than a big figure like Hou Junji, he is also a big one that cannot be ignored. Character. Li Taineng can figure out many reasons related to military affairs. I guess it is mostly Li Daliang who understands military affairs to help him make suggestions."

"Well, I know..." Qin Mubai sighed lightly, nodded and said, "It seems that Li Tai is a bad person. He knows that his uncle is already in the court with him. In opposition, he will non-stop snatching any available force that opposes his uncle’s position. The first thing that comes to mind is naturally us military commanders. Well, we will act according to the timing, and everything will be the overall situation and the state affairs. It was for different motives, but as long as we can reach a consensus strategy, it is not an exaggeration for us to join forces with Li Tai for the time being. However, we have to be careful about him. After all, it’s not easy to find a tiger for skin."

"Mu Bai, you really didn't disappoint this king!" Li Daozong laughed, "Actually, the ultimate intention of this king is the last sentence you just said. It is true that Li Taiyin is terrible, but if It can be used by me, and it is also a powerful help. Just as you said, we have to be careful. Since we are using each other, we have to be careful not to take our own lives. What is the subtle relationship between this? It's up to you. After all, the core of the military is Lanzhou and the Western Regions, which are the sites of your Qin family and fathers and sons. If something happens, you are the first to lift the tank. Li Tai, now is also a little ill. He has been thrown into the doctor indiscriminately, as long as he can give him a helping hand, he will never let it go. We, we must have the courage and courage to take chestnut out of the fire, why not go for a fight with a tiger!"

"Well, what the prince said is very good!" Qin Mubai frowned, and said in a deep voice, "This time, we have to know that there are tigers in the mountains and lean towards the tiger mountains. Make a clever effort to use him in turn. Wang once. I don’t have to say, I won’t let the hidden head and tail flinch. Since he wants to win over us, don’t even bother with two boats and go to Changsun Wuji to please him. I have to find a way to force him to choose. Stand clearly on our side. Only in this way can we take the initiative!"

"Clever!" Li Daozong smiled and said loudly, "In this way, Li Tai can be forced to have no retreat and can only confront Changsun Wuji, pull his teeth out of his mouth, and Li Tai can really help me. This matter has to be dealt with by Mu Bai. I can’t wait for it."

"I know this." Qin Mubai sipped a sip of tea, and said inwardly: It's all these assholes. There are no absolute friends and enemies, only eternal interests. Now we are united with Li Tai's interests, saying that we must not let him take a name and stand in the same camp with us. As for which prince to support as the prince... it's my shit! I won't take my stand on this matter if I killed me, I just care about the Lanzhou war! Li Tai wants to drag me into the water, but there is no door!

Okay, just do it!

Li Daozong came and left in a hurry.

Qin Mubai sat alone and pondered for a long time, really feeling dizzy and exhausted. Over the past few days, too many things have happened. From being suddenly planted on the night before his wedding, to the various intrigues after Yaoer's death, all of which caused him a headache.

Qin Mubai missed Lanzhou a bit. Although there is a high risk of miserable life there, it is far more peaceful and peaceful than Chang'an, which seems to be surrounded by flowers but is in danger. In Lanzhou, if there is a problem or trouble, it is a big deal to fight with knives and kill an individual to solve the problem; in Chang'an, cold guns and secret arrows are invincible, and people's hearts are in danger of swordsmen.

Qin Mubai really wanted to get out of Chang'an's nest of right and wrong, and didn't want to get involved in any disputes that might be a battle for reserve. But now it seems that under the invasion of this huge wave, no one can stay aside.

The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop.

"Okay! Since it is inevitable, I will fight with you!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and muttered to himself, "It doesn't matter whether the fish is dead or the net is broken. , This time, I won’t avoid fighting anyone. I don’t want to be thrown into prison again, let alone a second demon, and I can’t let Lanzhou’s plan be destroyed by this political turmoil! No matter how great and turbulent! The tide, I, Qin Mubai, greet the boat, and the tide is in danger!"
